Hello everyone, I am a 183 masked man. In this issue, let's talk about a group of Eastern Conference series, Celtics and Bucks. At present, the two teams are tied at 1:1, with the Bucks winning the first game and the Green Army winning the next battle.
In this group of duels, the most important player is undoubtedly the Bucks' alphabet brother, in the two games that have ended, the alphabet brother played very awkwardly, scoring 24 points in the first game 9 of 25 and 28 points in the second game 27 11. Before the start of this series, when I talked about how the Green Army dealt with The Alphabet Brother, because of the length, I simply said that I needed to move the defensive line forward, don't let him rush up, then this issue, let's talk about it carefully, why the Alphabet Brother has played so hard in these two games.
First of all, let me first make a point of view, after the end of G1 and G2, the American media counted a lot of numbers, such as the alphabet brother in Horford defense a few shots zero, facing Rowe a few hits, and so on and so on. What I'm trying to say is that the data is useless, or too superficial. Any MVP-level star who is playing in the year cannot be defended by a single defense, at most a few rounds, it is impossible to run through the whole game, otherwise he will not be able to take the MVP. The reason why the Celtics can make the alphabet brother play so hard is not a simple single defense, or even a bag clip, but a kaleidoscopic and ubiquitous auxiliary defense.
When Brother Alphabet gets the ball, the Green Army is not the first to take a pinch attack, but the other defenders in the vicinity will approach Brother Alphabet. To put it simpler, compress the space of the alphabet brother, so that his forward path before and after the left and right are stared at. At the same time, because it is not really the bag clip in our traditional sense, it is difficult for the Green Army to miss the Bucks' outside shooters to a large extent. This requires both the full attention of the Green Army players and the high enough basketball IQ and super execution. The same way of playing, this season's Nets and Lakers can not do this effect.
Let's go on to say that when the alphabet brother is struggling to close the ball, the Green Army players will be the first to take the pinch, seriously, these things are difficult to describe in words, but if you watch the game, you will understand how well the Green Army players grasp the timing. In this case, it is difficult for brother alphabet to play to his own advantages, and his personal power will naturally be greatly reduced. So what is the power of the alphabet brother? We all know very well that Alphabet Brother has actually been playing from the outside, he rushed up too horrible, his scoring was more dependent on conversions, and the negligence of grasping the opposite defense, using his proud figure to score. But if he falls into the hard chisel of the position battle, he is still a clear gap away from those real muscle inner line macho men.
Therefore, what the Green Army wants is to let you play in the least good way, let you slow down, and make your space blocked. As for the alphabet brother, his position is actually deep enough, but he does not have embiid's hard chisel ability, and second, he does not have Jokic's excellent vision and ability to shoot the ball, or just now, the alphabet brother is ultimately the outside play. Speaking of which, some fans may say that the current alphabet brother is basically the top muscle man in the NBA, no matter what, he is also stronger than Horford Rockwell, right? How can a hard chisel not move?
There are two reasons, one is the green army defense ability we just mentioned, just like the slam dunk master In the moment of the decisive battle between Xiangbei and Shanwang, Zebei single-handedly picked out the Flowing River Maple, when you think about it, in addition to the Flowing River Maple, there is also an invisible Sakuragi Flower Road that does not know when it will appear, and you are naturally afraid to attack. Second, the muscles of the alphabet brother are more in the upper body, I do not have any specific muscle content and other data to support ah, but if only on the upper body, I do not think that the alphabet brother is inferior to James, Embiid them. But if you look at the full body photo of brother alphabet, you will find that brother alphabet has slender lower limbs, and he is the kind of player who is thin and long. And Horford Gway, maybe they usually have little exposure, resulting in fans not knowing much, but the Green Army interior group led by them is really the kind of stout and solid players, in comparison, Lowe is thin in the Green Army inside line, while another center Theis is almost abandoned.
Speaking of which, there may be fans who will say, how to explain the G2 3rd quarter game, the alphabet brother single quarter 8 out of 11 cut 18 points? In fact, it is very easy to explain, because the Green Army has led by 25 points in the first half, from the perspective of winning, are you willing to let the alphabet brother chisel from the inside line of two points and two points, or let the Bucks outside shooter find the feel of the three-point rain? So the Green Army in this section of the game, the pinch shot is a lot less, most of the time is Gwei they single defense, the purpose is not to let the Bucks others shoot. In this season, the Bucks made a total of 20 shots, and the alphabet brother alone accounted for 11 times. In the face of the huge 25-point difference, the Bucks did not scare the Green Army at all, and even said that this is what they wanted.
Having said all this, what is my advice to Brother Alphabet? No matter how far the Bucks can play this year, Alphabet Brother should polish some back singles this summer, as well as turn over jump shots, and don't continue to gain weight, because according to his current style of play, this muscle is enough, what he lacks is flexibility and shooting.
Having said all that, it is not to look down on the alphabet brother and the Bucks. Because the trend of a series depends on more than just one player. Even if the Green Army still makes the alphabet brother feel bad next, the Bucks may not necessarily lose. If the Bucks outside the group can find a feel from the beginning of the game, let the Green Army lose sight of one or the other on the defensive end, the alphabet brother can still find a comfortable rhythm. At the same time, if the Green Army's offensive feel on the road is not as good as at home, and they do not have a good start like G2, they will have a hard time playing after the game.
At the end of the day, whether it's for the Green Army or the Bucks, this series has far-reaching significance, and it's not as simple as reaching the East Finals or being eliminated. I believe that after this series, both sides can see their shortcomings and weaknesses very clearly, and then polish their skills and strengthen the lineup this summer, this issue we are from the perspective of the alphabet brother, and after the end of the series, we can analyze from more angles.
