    "So this is Rivers' response" Fang Chen muttered to himself after seeing the changes in the defensive end of the Celtics players on the field.

    "Fang, the Celtics are defending inside and out." Chris Janet and Michael Malone also saw Rivers' little calculation, so they told Fang Chen.

    Fang Chen nodded and replied with a smile: "Since they are betting on our outside touch, then as he wishes, let's play more outside shots!"

    Rivers is gambling, so why not Fang Chen.  Both sides have no choice. The Cavaliers only have the upper hand in physical strength. The Celtics are most afraid of physical battles. Therefore, the Celtics focus on defending the basket and near the free throw line. As for the outside line, if they can't guard it, they will  Let the Cavaliers shoot.

    Since the Celtics¡¯ defensive tactics have changed, it has become more difficult for Ramon Sessions and others to break through to the inside.

    But on the outside, the Cavaliers can find a lot of opportunities.

    It¡¯s not that the Celtics let it go on purpose, but that Pierce and Ray Allen really couldn¡¯t keep up.

    "Bang," Ramon Sessions missed from outside the three-point line, and the rebound was grabbed by "Shark" O'Neal.

    When Doc Rivers, who was standing on the sidelines, saw this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

    Regardless of whether they can escape tonight, at least for now, the tactics they just deployed have some effect.

    Therefore, Doc Rivers is also determined to defend the defensive tactic of inside and outside.

    Garnett and others must maintain more physical strength. Since the defensive end consumes so much physical strength and is continuously attacked by the opponent, it is better to give up personal defense, let go of the outside, focus on defending the inside, and use physical strength on offense.

    Besides, Garnett and others are all good offensive players. Rivers believes that their approach of replacing defense with offense will definitely pose a big threat to the Cavaliers.

    Of course, the premise is that the Cavaliers can't feel hot on the outside.

    "Whoa", Rajon Rondo broke through to the basket and made a fake shot. He passed the ball beautifully to Paul Pierce who was waiting at the top of the arc. The latter directly sent a cold arrow three-pointer.

    The Celtics scored 5 points in a row and suddenly narrowed the point difference to single digits.

    The home fans were a little panicked. After all, the Celtics are a championship-winning team. If they were to open up, the Cavaliers' lead would not be enough.

    Fang Chen stood up from the coaching bench with a serious look on his face, and then whispered something when Ramon Sessions dribbled past him.

    No one knows what Fang Chen said to Ramon Sessions, but there is no doubt that Fang Chen¡¯s words will definitely have an impact on the next situation.

    The Celtics still focus on defending the basket. In order to save energy, they even play a second and third zone defense.

    Zone defense, as the name suggests, means joint defense.

    It is divided into positional zone defense and counterpoint zone defense. If combined with man-marking, it can also be transformed into a mixed defense (hybrid defense). The biggest difference between zone defense and man-marking is that the ultimate goal of man-marking and man-marking is that man-marking is the ultimate goal, while zone defense is to prevent the ball.  for the ultimate purpose.

    For a team with tacit cooperation, the second and third zone defense is the most energy-saving and highly efficient defensive method, but it is mainly determined based on the objective strength of the opponent.

    Under normal circumstances, the second and third zone defense will not last for many rounds, which means changing the defensive formation to prevent the opponent from grasping your defensive rhythm and weaknesses.

    And zone defense is the best way to launch a fast break, that is, the team uses small and fast players to defend the zone and make up for the lack of height through fast movement.

    However, if you blindly play zone defense, your opponent will use fast-paced passing and receiving to find openings in your defense to break your zone defense, especially on the outside.

    But for the Celtics, saving energy is far more important than letting the Cavaliers shoot three-pointers.

    Therefore, they have almost no psychological burden when playing second and third zone defense.

    "Pa", Joey Graham's cross pass was directly intercepted by Rajon Rondo.

    After Rajon Rondo succeeded in stealing the ball, he went directly to the fast break.

    The second and third zone defense is very suitable for a speedy player like him, because after guarding the opponent, they can quickly counterattack.

    "Whoops", Ramon Sessions was chasing after him but still couldn't stop Rajon Rondo's fast break.

    48:55, the Celtics continued to chase points and narrowed the point difference to 7 points.

    Seeing that the lead was getting smaller and smaller, Fang Chen quickly called a timeout.

    He must re-adjust the lineup, otherwise, the opponent is likely to take advantage of the opportunityEvened the score or even overtook it.

    In the previous period, Fang Chen was not watching the game helplessly, but was thinking of ways to deal with the situation on the field.

    After discussing with Chris Janet and Michael Malone, Fang Chen came up with a bolder plan.

    "Antoine, Daniel, you two replace Anderson and Anthony." Fang Chen made arrangements for Jamison and Gibson without a doubt.

    When the two of them heard this, they both looked excited and quickly took off their coats.

    Anderson Varejao and Anthony Parker had some doubts on their faces, but as Fang Chen gained more and more prestige in the team, it was hard for them to question Fang Chen's arrangements.

    What's more, in order to implement Fang Chen's tactical arrangements tonight, their physical strength has been put to a great test.  It is quite necessary to take a break now.

    Fang Chen gathered the five players who were about to play together and said seriously: "Just like in the first half, let me run. Except for Ramon, the other four players all devoted themselves to the offense. As for the defensive end, can  Just defend, don't worry if you can't defend. But when you attack, you must open it up. Don't worry about whether the ball goes in or not. What you have to worry about is that whenever there is an opening, give me a decisive shot. The five of you except**  Anyone can shoot three-pointers, and since they shoot from the outside, we will rain three-pointers on them."

    When everyone heard this, they all nodded.

    After the timeout, five players, Antoine Jamison, ** Hickson, Joey Graham, Daniel Gibson and Ramon Sessions, came to the court.

    The fans at the scene and the Celtics were a little confused when they saw the five Cavaliers players.  Almost no player in the Cavaliers' lineup is good at defense. What about the previous lineup? Anderson Varejao and Anthony Parker are both good at defense, especially the former.

    And now this lineup has completely lost defense. Is it because they want to completely replace defense with offense?

    With all kinds of questions, everyone at the scene was waiting for what changes the Cavaliers would make next.
