Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 574: Dad is really coming to Boston, and there is more than one!
The perspective of live TV broadcast is completely different from that of the live audience.

The confrontation between James and Beasley was extremely clear to the audience. They all saw how Beasley got rid of James.

James actively "escorted" or "forced" Beasley to the center circle, preparing to implement the unlimited forward tactics on Beasley. Then, Beasley, who had been tightly grasped by James like a little rabbit before, suddenly broke free from James' siege.

In a flash, Beasley slipped past James's grasp and accelerated out of the cage!
The audience's perspective at the scene was clearer than that of the live TV broadcast, and they knew more about what was happening. However, looking at the big screen at the scene, the fans felt as if they saw everything, but at the same time they did not see everything.

It seemed like I saw it, but I didn’t understand it at all.

"What the hell is going on? How did Beasley suddenly slip away from James? It felt like he took advantage of the momentum and slipped away to speed up and get rid of James! What level of off-ball movement is this?!"

When the TV started broadcasting the whole process of Beasley getting rid of James, rushing to the frontcourt and hitting the three-pointer against Smart, no one in front of the TV discussed the three-pointer and didn't care whether the ball went in or not.

The audience in front of the TV was more interested in the way Beasley got rid of James than Beasley's three-pointer!
Even if they are not professional basketball players but just ordinary fans, they can feel the artistic atmosphere from Beasley's escape!
Beasley's off-ball escape was full of artistic flavor!

It's a completely different feeling from Jordan, Kobe, Ray Allen, Reggie Miller, Curry and other top off-ball runners in the NBA.

If we say that Jordan, Kobe, Ray Allen, Reggie Miller and Curry's off-ball movements all have their own characteristics and it is difficult to say who is better or worse, then it is obvious that the off-ball movement that Beasley used just now to get rid of James is at a higher level than these people.

And it is visibly higher than these people by one level.

Because many old fans who have watched Jordan play have never seen someone like Beasley.

Unable to catch him, James finally tried to grab him, but Beasley still slipped away.

In the end, James grabbed at the air, and was one step slower, and then slower, and finally failed to catch up with Beasley again. Then he was blocked by Kidd and watched Beasley hit this super exciting three-pointer against Smart.

"Incredible off-ball movement..."

In front of the TV, even Kobe's eyes widened. He had never seen such off-ball movement. He and Jordan, Ray Allen, Reggie Miller, and even Curry, these traditional off-ball players, were full of confrontation when they were moving.

Even though Curry is relatively thin, he actually takes the initiative to confront and use various means of pushing and squeezing when running.

This is why the footage of Curry being caught in the middle was leaked.

It's not that players who run without the ball don't want to run in this way without confrontation, but that they really can't do it. If you don't want to confront, you will give the advantageous position to your opponent. If the opponent snatches the advantageous running position, you can only run outwards, to those unimportant positions, and finally you will be slowly forced to a place that has no impact on the game.

When it comes to running without the ball, being able to run is one thing, and those who can run can certainly beat those who can't run. However, when two players who can run compete without the ball, the most important thing is to fight for the advantageous position. Reggie Miller's push back then was a classic in the NBA. If Reggie Miller hadn't pushed Jordan that time, he would have been forced to death by Jordan.

When Beasley got rid of James just now, he didn't push James, and he might not even have actively touched James. He just took advantage of the situation and was freed.

It's like a tangled tangled rope. You think it can't be untied, but someone just pulls it once and it's all untied, untangled, and smooth.

That's how Kobe feels now.

"Accident?"

Kobe thought it might be an accident, or a flash of inspiration from a talented person.

But Maizi next to Kobe was very happy.

"I've said before, this kid is the most talented basketball player in NBA history. No difficulty can stop him!"

In Maizi's eyes, Beasley has a filter.

Kobe had praised McGrady harshly for being the strongest player, and he looked at McGrady eagerly, waiting for him to praise him back. Kobe had the strongest talent, not just because of hard work, but also because of talent. Even if McGrady had a low EQ, he knew what Kobe wanted, but McGrady just didn't say it. Even if it was a compliment, he was unwilling to compliment Kobe, because in McGrady's heart, there has always been one person who has the most talent in NBA history, and that is Beasley.

At the very least, before McMahon has completely forgotten Beasley, he will not change his mind and give the position to Kobe.

Obviously, Beasley and Durant, who were bullied so badly by the forward tactics this season, have been freed from the shackles on Durant's side. There is no reason why Beasley, who is more talented, still has no way to deal with it.

Durant's way to break free from the shackles is to work hard. If he can't fight back, he will intensify the fight. If others are ruthless, I will be even more ruthless. With the help of his teammates, he will pass this hurdle.

In fact, Durant's way of solving the forward-pressing tactic was an opportunistic approach. In fact, Durant still failed to solve the problem of the forward-pressing tactic.

Beasley seems to be avoiding James, but in fact, this is the real way to solve the problem, not relying on others' opportunism, nor not solving the problem and fighting with others.

Durant is sometimes too timid and sometimes too ruthless, unable to control himself.

Beasley is more calm, confident and free and easy than Durant.

Durant's playing style is very similar to his, but his temperament is different.

Beasley's temperament is most like him, and now his playing style is becoming more and more like him.

Facing such a Beasley, Maizi naturally likes him very much.

No matter how you look at it, Beasley is more like himself than Durant and is a more talented player.

He believed that Beasley could solve the problem that Durant had not solved, and it has been solved now!

Did Beasley solve James's forward-pressing tactics?

We will know the answer soon, after all, the game is still going on.

The Celtics were on offense, and James, as an offensive player, did not join his teammates in the positional attack, but stayed in the backcourt to hug Beasley.

Beasley, who was held by James, didn't feel anything at all. He just stood there and let James hold him.

If James really held him like this for 24 seconds, he would only be able to stay in the backcourt and would not be able to participate in the offense in the frontcourt.

The essence of the forward-pressing tactic on the offensive end is to prevent the opponent from participating in defense so that you can participate in offense.

If James really hugged Beasley for 24 seconds like this, that's not a forward-forcing tactic, that's a passive game.

The referee may ignore it if you hug me once, but if you do it a second time, the referee will definitely blow the whistle.

Otherwise, wouldn't the defensive players on the court all be hugging their opponents in the backcourt?
No matter how much the NBA encourages confrontation now, it will not encourage holding someone without moving.

James hugged Beasley, actually just to scare Beasley. As long as Beasley moved, he would knock Beasley to the ground!
After knocking Beasley down, he rushed to the frontcourt for a fast break!
However, Beasley didn't move at all, just looked at James like a fool.

Beasley didn't move, and James didn't dare to knock Beasley down directly, because that was not a confrontation. Mutual fighting was a confrontation. Beating the opponent down unilaterally was intentional injury and a crime. As long as the Bobcats applied for a video replay, James could be directly sent off.

Good guy!
James couldn't help but feel a little panicked now. Is Beasley really willing to stand here with him for 24 seconds?
Seeing that Beasley did not move, James had to put Beasley down after hugging him for five seconds because the referee had already glanced at him in the frontcourt.

The five-second hug in the forward-pressing tactic is like the three-second offense and five-second post-up defense. Although it is not an explicit rule, it is an unspoken rule that encourages confrontation. Defensive players and offensive players can have a physical hug with each other, but the time cannot be long.

Just when James failed to intimidate Beasley and had to let Beasley go in order to avoid a foul, Beasley finally moved!
Seeing Beasley move, James also got excited. He was ready for a big elbow!

As long as you don't put your elbows up and down, there will be no problem at all!

Almost the moment Beasley moved, James had already aimed his elbow at Beasley's stomach. He was ready to use the defensive preparatory movement as an excuse to knock Beasley to the ground!
He grabbed with his left hand and used his right elbow. He was so skilled in this technique that the audience in front of the TV felt pain for Beasley.

In the previous regular season, Beasley was really beaten by James. Many Beasley fans cried when watching it. It was too miserable.

Just like when Mrs. Curry saw Westbrook using the "force-Curry" tactic, Mrs. Curry kept wiping away tears on the sidelines.

Players who are targeted by the forward or the library tactics are really tortured both physically and mentally. This time James was not arrogant, and he knocked it down directly without saying anything!
The momentum was so strong that the audience watching on TV felt their scalps tingling. Many old fans who had watched basketball in the 1990s felt their scalps tingling.

Is the scale of the NBA so terrifying now?
In the 90s, such elbows would result in a direct penalty kick!
The NBA has gone from Adam Silver's extreme encouragement of offense to its current extreme encouragement of confrontation. It has simply gone from one extreme to another.

However, everything must be corrected to an extreme, which is normal. It is because of the need to correct to an extreme that everyone can see that extremes are bad. Encouraging extreme offense is bad, but it does not mean that extreme confrontation is good. David Stern's season of extreme confrontation will allow everyone to reach a consensus in the future. The consensus is that moderation is best. It is important to find a balance point that all players can accept and where they can all perform.

The period of correcting a wrong must be a period of excessive correction, and it is also a period of reaching consensus.

Adults can actually understand David Stern's intention, but it has caused hardship for players like Beasley, Curry and Durant.

then!

The audience in front of the TV were stunned!

James' elbow is empty!

No, James' left hand did not stop Beasley!
The moment James grabbed Beasley with his left hand, Beasley went around and slipped away from James, and James elbowed the air!
Beasley pushed James in the media, but did not take the opportunity to give James a fierce confrontation. Instead, he used this kind of cleverness that looked very smooth, calm and chic to slip away from in front of James!

During the Celtics' offense, the TV broadcast camera was focused on James and Beasley throughout the entire process, rather than on the ball, which can be regarded as a record for NBA live broadcasts.

In NBA live broadcasts, the camera is wherever the ball is. Even if the camera moves, it is only for a very short time, perhaps just one shot. The ball will never be out of sight for a long time.

This time, I really couldn’t see the ball the entire time!

Except for the live audience.

The audience can see it.

The audience in front of the TV had no idea what was happening on the other side of the ball.

The Celtics players on the other side of the ball had no idea what was going on with James and Beasley behind them.

This is also the disadvantage of using the forward tactic when attacking.

If the forward on our side fails, the offensive player will be beaten in the butt by the defensive player!

When they played against the Lakers in Los Angeles, James was beaten madly by Antetokounmpo, and they were killed madly by Antetokounmpo for a thousand years.

That sour.

Luckily, this is Boston.

A fan reminded.

When Beasley got rid of James and accelerated towards his own half, the Celtics fans at the scene exclaimed and immediately reminded the Celtics' offensive players to be careful of Beasley who was coming back!

Smart, who was dribbling the ball, was the most panicked at this time, as he couldn't look behind him.

Kidd in front came up quickly.

He didn't dare to move at all.

Fortunately, Paul George came over immediately to provide support.

If it was just a little later, Smart would have been surrounded by Beasley and Kidd, and Smart would have been killed.

George received the ball, and Beasley followed George. James followed with a dark face and continued to use the forward tactics to screen for his teammates.

George has the ability to shoot.

This gave George a completely open offensive opportunity, which was fine.

However, it takes a lot of time.

It may not be possible to find an opportunity to block Beasley and Batum at the same time within 24 seconds!

Just when James was wondering if there might not be enough time, the opportunity came!
James was so happy that he wanted to hug Batum and Beasley one by one in the league!

blocked!
James was ecstatic. Beasley, Beasley, no matter how fast you ran, I still caught you, didn't you?
George, who was behind James, jumped up quickly without even leaning back, and prepared to jump shot from the free throw line.

George is not as cautious as Leonard.

Leonard likes to fade away in mid-range shots regardless of whether there is someone defending him or not.

You can call it cautious, or you can call it a waste of energy.

And this time!
George in the air, if given a chance, he will definitely fade away!
Because Beasley, who had just been blocked by James, seemed to pass through the wall, spared James and flew over from George's side!

"OMG!!!"

"on purpose!"

"James was fooled!!!"

Snap!
George's shot was slammed away by Beasley.

The basketball flew straight to Marion and Leonard on the other side.

run!
Beasley came down from the air and ran forward, not caring whether Marion could catch the ball.

“Incredible run!”

"Incredible defense!!"

"What level of off-ball movement is this for Beasley?!"

Barkley was exclaiming, and many people were exclaiming.

Du Kang smiled.

Purple level off-ball running skill, wow, it is indeed purple, it is so different!
On the court, Marion and Leonard tried to grab the ball at the same time, but Marion did not grab it. Instead, he jumped up and hit the basketball, and the basketball flew to the front court!

Catch the ball, dribble, dunk, all in one go!!

Looking at Beasley flying in the air, at this moment, Beasley just took off from the free throw line!!!
"Oh my god, Beasley, dunk from the free throw line!!!"

James, who was running back frantically to defend the basket, had no idea what was happening behind him. He just felt something flying past his head!

Soon, James knew what it was!

Beasley, dunking!!!
Bang!
The entire North Shore Garden was silent!
"Oh my god, Boston's dads are really here, and there's more than one!!!"
