Chapter 643 Du 15 and Long 2
In the game against the Boston Celtics, Yeos needs to be very, very careful.
Without Durant, Yeas clearly knows that he is no longer the player who can do whatever he wants on the court.
Without Durant's protection, Ye Si needs to protect himself.
In the first game against the Boston Celtics, Yeez scored 36 points, 10 rebounds and 14 assists against Pierce. The 36 points were obtained in 22 shots, making 14 of 22 shots, with a shooting percentage of 64%!
This hit rate is on the high side.
After hitting such a high shooting percentage against Pierce, it was difficult for Yeez to continue hitting such a shooting percentage in the second game.
Otherwise, the Celtics will examine the effectiveness of Pierce's individual defense against him.
The Celtics are afraid of his passing, which is the best in history, and they are definitely not willing to double-team him.
But if the Celtics find that they will lose in single defense, they will definitely attack with all their might.
When Yes was flanked on the outside and without Durant to support him, the consequences were really terrible.
In this case, Yes needs to control his offensive efficiency when facing Pierce.
Yeas needs to win now, but he cannot make the Celtics wary of him. However, with the current offensive ability of the Seattle SuperSonics, if he does not beat Pierce harder, the SuperSonics will not win. This kind of control, It’s just too difficult.
This extremely calculated game control and operation reminded Ye Si of the time when he had ten consecutive kills.
If he hadn't gone through too much in the game, anyone would collapse in the face of such calculations.
Fortunately, the way the Boston Celtics played in the second game made Yeas relieved.
The Celtics still use Garnett as the core on both offense and defense. The Celtics are still seeking this year's Finals MVP for Garnett. This makes the Celtics' already weak offense. The waste continues.
And in the second game, the Celtics wasted even more money on Ray Allen.
Garnett's offense is actually not that bad.
Garnett is one of the few all-around players in league history.
In the current NBA, Garnett, Duncan and Nowitzki have always been considered the three strongest power forwards in the league. These three have always been used for comparison because they are all MVPs and top-notch. Superstars or even super giants.
The comparison between these three people is indeed very interesting.
As far as offense is concerned, the three have averaged about 18 shots per game in the playoffs during their careers.
But the offensive methods of the three are completely different.
Of Duncan's 18 shots in the playoffs, 13 were at the basket and at close range. Duncan's 45-degree shot from close range is unique in the league.
And what about Nowitzki?
Just the opposite of Duncan, 13 of Nowitzki's 18 shots were mid-range, long-range and three-point shots.
Duncan and Nowitzki's offensive methods seem to be opposite ends of a mirror image.
Moreover, not only are the two men's offensive methods extreme, their offensive efficiency is also quite extreme.
Duncan's shooting percentage at the basket is around 70% all year round, and his two-point shooting percentage at close range is close to 50% all year round. However, from long range, mid-range and three-point range, Duncan's efficiency plummets, and his efficiency is less than 40% year-round. , of course, the number of shots is also small.
And what about Nowitzki?
It's not bad at the basket, not as good as Duncan, but it's about 60%, but it's very poor at close range, less than 40%. It can be seen that Nowitzki's close attack is really not good, because it requires confrontation at close range. Whether it's a front-on shot or a back-up attack, you need to fight, but in addition to close-range attacks, Nowitzki's mid-range shots, long-range shots and three-pointers are really terrifying, all of which are at a historical level of efficiency. .
Compared with Duncan and Nowitzki, they are clear inside and outside.
Garnett is not a picky eater.
At the basket, close range, mid-range, and long range, Garnett took at least 4 shots in each area, which is very average!
It's even so average that it takes at least four shots per area and no more than five shots at most.
And the efficiency of each area is also very average.
About 65% at the basket, 43% at close range, 45% at mid-range, and 41% at long range.
The efficiency is average with no shortcomings!
This is extremely rare for the power forward position in NBA history.
This is Garnett's strength, but also Garnett's weakness.
Judging from the true shooting percentage of the three on the offensive end, Duncan's true shooting percentage is more than 56% all year round, and Nowitzki's true shooting percentage is more than 58% and close to 60%.
And what about Garnett?
Garnett's true shooting percentage is only over 50% all year round!
Garnett has played in the playoffs for 10 seasons in his career, and his true shooting percentage has been above 55% only once!
Duncan has also been in the playoffs 10 times, and the number of times above 55% is 8 times.
And Nowitzki has made seven playoff appearances. Except for last season when he was badly screwed by the SuperSonics, his true shooting percentage in all other years was above 50%, and he was 55% five times.
A true shooting percentage of 55% is considered a very good offensive player. Jordan's efficiency in the playoffs during his six championships was at this level.
If compared with historical shooting guards.
Nowitzki and Duncan are the Jordans at the power forward position.
Then Garnett is Iverson at the power forward position.
No one may believe it, but in the playoffs, Garnett and Iverson's true shooting percentages were really similar.
There is a Kobe Bryant between Iverson's scoring efficiency and Jordan's.
This is just efficiency. Garnett's output is naturally far inferior to Iverson.
Iverson is the only three players in NBA history to average more than 30 points per game in the playoffs.
It's not that I have any objection to Garnett. As an inside player, when his offensive efficiency can only be compared with Iverson, this is actually a small insult to him.
However, it is true.
Garnett's offense does not have absolutely strong means. His offense is comprehensive, but it is not strong enough. At least it cannot break the shield put up by Milicic and Millsap.
Because the Leafs are focusing on cultivating Durant this season, Milicic is mainly improving his defense this year, and Millsap is also improving his defense after being promoted to the starting lineup this season.
The two of them do have shortcomings on offense, but on defense, there is really no problem.
In the second game between the SuperSonics and the Celtics, Garnett was even more uncomfortable on the offensive end than in the first game!
In the first game, Milicic and Millsap were still a little nervous.
Especially Millsap.
And what about the second game?
After Millsap recovered, although he was still submissive on the offensive end, he really hit hard on the defensive end!
In this game, Millsap and Milicic punched Garnett in the face, causing Garnett a lot of pain.
That's not fake pain, that's real pain!
Not only was Garnett in pain, Doc Rivers on the sidelines was in even more pain!
"The SuperSonics' two big men are so strong defensively, much better than they were in the regular season!"
Rivers really doesn't care if he loses a game, but after losing two games in a row on the road, no matter how optimistic he is, it is difficult to continue to be optimistic.
"Dakone and Paul were tortured by Anthony, Stoudemire and Yao Ming in this year's playoffs."
As an assistant coach with the Sonics, Scott Brooks has witnessed the growth of these two on the defensive end.
After experiencing the three offensive powerhouses of Anthony, Stoudemire and Yao Ming, Garnett really is not that difficult for the two of them.
In the second game between the SuperSonics and the Celtics, Milicic and Millsap made it difficult for Garnett, who launched the final attack on FMVP in this game.
Garnett was uncomfortable, and of course the Celtics were also uncomfortable.
I only got 90 points in one game, which is a pretty low score.
You know, the offensive pace of the two teams in this game was not that slow.
In this game, the Celtics were trying to modify the data for Garnett's FMVP. How could they possibly slow down the pace?
The reason why the two teams scored 94 to 90 in this game is because these two teams are so tough.
Garnett took 28 shots in the game and hit 10 goals. Garnett, who hit the ball 18 times in this game, tied his playoff record of 18 hits against the Nuggets in 2004.
Garnett made 18 shots in this game, and Pierce continued to be suppressed in this game, hitting 4 of 14 shots and making 8 shots.
Tony Allen took 9 shots and hit 1 time, and Perkins took 6 shots and hit 2 times.
The Celtics' four starters took a total of 57 shots and only made 17 hits.
The efficiency of 17-57 is not as good as a certain musician’s 17-47!
The Celtics played quite well in this game, and the SuperSonics on the other side were actually about the same.
Milicic took 18 shots in this game and hit 6 times. Milicic took 7 shots and hit 2 times. Quentin Richardson took 12 shots and hit 4 times, but all were three-pointers. He took 21 more shots and hit 7 of them.
The Seattle SuperSonics' four starting players took a total of 58 shots and hit 19 times, 19-58, which is actually very limited compared to 17-57.
Compared with the data of these eight Sonics and Celtics starters, the data of Yease and Ray Allen are too abrupt.
Ray Allen didn't take that many shots in this game. He took 16 shots, which was a little less than the previous game, but he still hit 11 times, including 6 three-pointers. In this game, the Seattle SuperSonics still didn't. People can defend Ray Allen. Ray Allen scored 30+ points in two consecutive games in the Finals. In this game, Ray Allen scored 34 points.
The score of 34 is also the highest score in this game.
He scored more than one-third of the team's points with less than one-fifth of the team's shots.
Ray Allen's scoring efficiency is so terrifying that it's suffocating.
Compared with Ray Allen, even Yes on the other side pales in comparison.
After shooting a super-high 64% shooting rate in the first game, in this game, facing Pierce's full defense, Yes only made 12 of 24 shots and scored just over 30 points.
However, although Yes only scored 30 points in this game, he sent out 12 assists and grabbed 15 rebounds.
"Sent out a 30+ triple-double for the second consecutive game in the finals!"
"Even without Durant, Yes can still use his passing to get more than 10 assists per game!"
"And the role of Yes' rebounds in the finals is also quite obvious. On the SuperSonics side, Milicic and Millsap are both blocking people. The rebounds need to be protected by outside players, and Yes protects them very well!"
"Of course, Rondo's protection is also good."
Not bad!
Watching the TNT TV interviews all about Yes’ triple-double in the second consecutive game of the finals, the second master admitted that he is sour now!
Didn't you guys notice the statistics of Erye's game?
Erye scored 15 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists in this game!
Erye is the seventh player in NBA history to get a triple-double in the Finals!
With data like Erye’s, is it so hopeless?
How did you rehabilitate Du Shiwu in the first place? Why didn't you help the second master rehabilitate him? !
but……
The game was still won!
This made Rondo breathe a sigh of relief again.
Yes is carefully controlling the trend of this round of finals. He needs time now.
He needs to carefully protect himself from being double-teamed before gaining enough strength.
The sufficient power mentioned here means literally.
When he can beat Garnett in the paint, the Celtics' double-teaming is actually not that important anymore.
Now he is still heading towards the road where he can beat Garnett in the paint alone.
It still takes time to reach the end.
Amid the cheers of the fans, Ye Si took a firm bite of the old-faced steamed bun and led the team into the tunnel.
In order to make eating steamed buns less boring, Ye Si asked the staff of Team Ye to make steamed buns into the images of various small animals.
Before gaining enough strength, Ye Si still needs to carefully control the trend of the finals. However, Ye Si knows very well that this game is the last game he can control.
After losing this game, the next G3 in Boston will be a completely different game!
When Ye Si walked into the player tunnel, he looked at the other side. That guy would definitely not be able to hide him in the next game.
Yes was thinking about the next G3, while the Seattle SuperSonics players and Seattle fans were still immersed in huge celebrations.
One victory has already made their whole city celebrate, let alone two wins?
No matter what the result of this year's finals is.
At the very least, after the team wins the first two games, they can watch the SuperSonics in Game 6 at Key Arena!
"Even if we lose, we can still send the Sonics off!"
This is the banner displayed by Sonics fans as they boarded the plane to Boston.
Not fifteen, but second: Congratulations on becoming the seventh triple-double player in NBA history and the first person to average a triple-double per game in the playoffs x-on:Mr. Triple-Double x-on:Rajon Rondo.
On the plane flying to Boston, Rondo looked at the computer with stunned eyes.
Is the second master also dreaming?
