The Celtics last-minute offensive choice of New York; or the Golden State Fine Chest

108 to 105, New York reversed 20 points away, defeated defending champion Celtics in overtime, and took a 1-0 lead in a big score. There are reversals, overtime, stars, and role players each work hard. According to the principle, it is wonderful and good-looking.

But to be honest, the content of the game is really a bit monotonous. On one side, it is just a three-pointer, but it is still impossible to score; on the other side, it is a one-shot and four-pointer. Big Head plays back and forth, and the others are only responsible for two things, either receiving the ball or grabbing rebounds. Occasionally, Big Head is tired of playing, and they can change to OG Bridge or Towns to fight a few.

is only counted as the critical moment in the last 5 minutes of the fourth quarter:

The Celtics, not counting the last 0.6 seconds, a total of 10 offensive rounds, of which 6 three-point shots, only White hit 1 goal; except for one quick break conversion, the core Tatum was fouled, all of them were taking steps and three-point attempts. Even if he was a center player like Towns and Miro, he had no intention of breaking through; Jaylen Brown was much more balanced, with three-point attempts, a breakthrough and a foul, and a teammate who passed the pick-and-roll.

New York, 8 of them were initiated by Brunson, and 5 of them were also ended by Big Head in person, causing 1 foul, 2 three-pointers and 2 mistakes.

5 minutes of overtime:

Celtics had 9 offensive rounds, and 1 single match with Brunson to step down and three-pointer in the middle distance. Horford missed a three-pointer in a break, and 1 dive to catch the ball, and no other achievements were made; Brown broke through with the ball twice, one of which was named Towns dribbling and staggering in the end, finally making a mistake in passing, one breaking to the basket and missing a layup, and one catch-up three-pointer. The double-Tanhua looks like it is exhausted.

New York 8 offensive rounds, Big Head took 4 shots, all missed; on the contrary, OG hit Tatum with one back, made a three-pointer from the pass, and made a 2+1 dunk in one conversion, becoming the real key to overtime.

The high-level duel in the Eastern Conference semi-finals for a full 10 minutes, the exciting tactics are almost invisible. Not to mention the cooperation between more than three people, even when walking on a two-man turn, there are very few. Speaking of which, I personally think the most exciting tactic is the last attack in New York when the regular time is about to end.

This attack was no longer Brunson's singles with the ball, but a wonderful off-ball cooperation, which eventually helped Big Head successfully get rid of Holiday and got an excellent opportunity to throw and hit the board. Unfortunately, his luck was a little bad and he was framed out, otherwise New York would end the game in regular time. Speaking of this, I have to say one more thing: the advantage of offense without the ball over the offense with the ball:

1. The running without the ball is more variable. Anyone who has played the ball knows that running without a ball must be faster and more free than running without a ball, so it is more difficult for defensive players to predict and prevent;

2. Run without a ball tests defensive discipline. Generally speaking, whether it is a counter-attack or a non-op player, the attention is more likely to be on the ball holder, commonly known as "watching the ball but not the person". Most of the common missing people are missing players who run without the ball. Especially some cross-running positions or cover-up positions will test the opponent's tacit understanding of changing defense instructions.

Therefore, it is not that without a ball is definitely better than having a ball, and both have their own advantages and disadvantages. In a high-level basketball duel, theoretically, it should be more difficult to prevent with or without a ball. Of course, the premise is that the player's tactical execution ability and tacit understanding must be sufficient, otherwise he may not have fainted his opponent and his brain will be crashed first (the specific player will not be named here). In this case, it is better to play a simple one-person fight with 4 people and pull them apart.

If the team has enough ball game and tacit understanding, off-ball offense is pleasing to the eye. Typical examples are the Warriors in 2014 and 22 years or the Spurs in 2013 and 2014. Otherwise, they are running around the court and making mistakes, such as the Warriors in 2014 and the Warriors before Jimmy came this season.
