With two unexpected wins, the Bobcats left Boston and returned to Charlotte.

The whole of North America was already full of shock.

Even Rivers and Siberdu emphasized that the home score was behind because the coaching staff made a mistake in their strategy and swept the Celtics in the first round of the regular season and playoffs, and their strength was still outstanding.

But the 0-to-2 behind is real.

"Anyway, the Bobcats are already leading the Celtics 2-0."

A joint show between TNT and ESPN, Kenny Smith posted his views:

"Danny Angie brought together three thirty-year-old superstars, kg, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen, with ambitions for thousands of miles, but the journey of thousands of miles is just beginning, and they are at risk of failure."

"The risk of a fallback?" The new Zach Lovie is a data party, and he shook his head:

"It's no longer a risky issue. I have a data. In the history of NBA, there were 223 series that were behind 0-2. There were only 14 of those who successfully turned the tables behind, and the probability of a successful turnaround is only 6.3%.

"So, Zach, do you think the Celtics are finished?"

Skip Bayless once again stood opposite the Bobcats, unlike the first round of the playoffs, this time, he was full of confidence.

"If NBA is behind 0-2 in history and only 14 successful comebacks, then this time for the Celtics will definitely be the fifteenth time. They are different from those teams that failed to comeback. They have the three giants that have no precedent in NBA history. Their strength is the best in the league today..."

Although Zach Lovie took out the data as a basis, it is undeniable that this Celtics is indeed too powerful, with the Big Three unprecedented, and it also swept the Sixers in the regular season. Almost everyone believes that the strength of this Celtics is already the number one in the league today.

Therefore, many people hold the same view that even if the Celtics are behind 0-2, they will still be the one who wins this unexpected series.

The news report on the day of the game also illustrates all this-

"espn": Rivers made a big mistake, the Celtics fell behind 0-2, and the turnaround journey officially began.

"Open-Air Stand": A turnaround or a turnaround? Counting the 14 NBA history of the playoffs 0-2 turnaround...

"Yahoo Sports": Survey: Do you think the Celtics who are behind 0-2 can complete the comeback?

Espn feels that the Celtics can complete a comeback, and the attitude of the open-air stands is not very clear. Yahoo Sports is very direct and directly votes by netizens. The results show that 73% of netizens choose to "be able to turn the tables".

Being ahead 2-0 is still a public opinion that is not favored, and only this Celtic team can get this kind of treatment.

Sam Vincent, who is not inferior to Rivers in terms of sprinkling chicken soup, has begun to lay the groundwork for g3 since he led the team back to Charlotte.

On the first day back to Charlotte, the team had a half day off and reunited in the afternoon.

Then, the players discovered that there was an additional newspaper and magazine in the locker room of the training hall that was updated every day.

Most NBA players are very concerned about changes in public opinion.

There are also a small number of people, either unable to bear the pressure or for various other reasons, who do not pay much attention to this aspect, but they are forced to pay attention because of Sam Vincent's operations.

"A survey by Yahoo Sports, 73% of netizens believe that the Celtics can complete a comeback."

"Bill Simmons' analysis, he believes that after returning to the normal strategy, the Celtics are still the dominant side."

"Sports Illustrated predicts that the Celtics will win four games in the next four games..."

“…”

So, while waiting for the day when g3 started, the entire bobcat maintained a high fighting spirit.

"Can't you see this group of unwieldy guys scored 2-0?"

"We should have been used to it. From the beginning of the series, we were not optimistic, and we are still the same."

"The more we are not favored, the more we prove ourselves!"

"Slap these brainless Brick reporters in the face!"

“…”

Sam Vincent was not idle either. He knew that the Bobcats won the first two games with some luck.

g1 depends on Li Ke's explosion, g2 depends on the explosion of Rivers and Siberdu.

It's g3, and he can no longer expect his luck to be favored by him again.

Whenever the team starts training, Sam Vincent, who has a weak presence, will be on the sidelines, holding a tactical board and drawing tactics over and over again at a laptop, and don’t know what they are drawing.

Li Ke thought more about this round of series.

He also knew that Skip Bayless and ESPN's major bricks were so sure that the Celtics could turn the tables, so they were naturally confident.

The Celtics are indeed strong. Even if they lead 2-0, it will be difficult for the Bobcats to win this series easily.

First of all, the strategy must be correct.

When practicing far-range shots during free training, Li Ke already had a very comprehensive idea. Seeing Sam Vincent thinking hard but unable to achieve success, Li Ke chose to take the initiative.

"Sam, are you looking for a complete solution to this Celtic?"

While resting, Li Ke sat next to Sam Vincent. He glanced at the tactical board, which should have been a set of tactics for horn positions.

Sam Vinson nodded, but the next second he fell into thinking.

"Have you encountered any trouble?"

"Yes, Sheldon, you know, this Celtics are so great, with almost no weaknesses."

Sam Vincent raised his head. He just thought that Sheldon Lee, who appeared beside him at this time, had made some innovations in tactics, although he was a player.

"Do you have any ideas?"

Li Ke nodded and snatched the tactical board from Sam Vincent without any scruples.

emmm, this is the second time.

"The power of the Celtics lies in two points-"

"One is, they have unprecedented Big Three, but Sam, do you believe me?"

Sam Vinson nodded: "Of course!"

"Then we can cross out the first one. The three giants are not strong. At least, my single defense can leave only two giants left in the three giants."

Sam Vincent thought about g1 and g2. Pierce's data performance was: 4 of 14 shots, 11 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, and 6 of 15 shots, 15 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists.

If someone says that Pierce is a giant, Sam Vincent will definitely look at this person with a fool's eyes.

"Then there's only the second one left, the Celtics' chain defense."

To put it bluntly, the Celtic chain defense is a type of pseudo-joint defense, which is characterized by more hitting the strong side and less hitting the weak side, while the weak side relies on rotation.

The key point is to invest in the strong side of heavy troops, and the weakness is naturally the weak side of the lack of soldiers and major generals.

so:

"China and Fargo broke through joint defense and transferred the ball to find the weak side on a large scale."

Sam Vincent frowned: "Does it feel a bit gambled?"

"We just need to bet on the feel. We still have 5 chances to play. Five games, as long as we bet into two games, we can solve the Celtics in front of us."

Sam Vincent's eyes were full of hesitation. To put it bluntly, I was still hoping that luck would be favored again.

He dared not believe it completely, but Li Ke kept persuading:

"The Celtics' offense is a mess. They are good at defense, and mid-range shots are the best way to break their chain defense."

"As long as we break their defense, we win more than half."

"We have no better way, Sam..."

Maybe it was convinced by Li Ke, or maybe Sam Vincent couldn't think of a better way.

In short, in the team's tactical meeting before the game, Sam Vincent refined Li Ke's proposal:

"From g3, our tactical focus has to be on the outside. Shaq, I need you to mention the high position more and cover Allen, Gerald and Sheldon. We need to attract defense from the strong side, and then give the opportunity to the weak side as much as possible, increase mid-range and long shots, and open up space."

"Of course, it's important to grab rebounds. Sheldon, Gerald, and Allen, everyone on the court has to grab rebounds!"

Once the strategy was determined, the Bobcat training was filled with all kinds of long-range shots.

...

The Celtics arrived in Charlotte on the morning of the game. They checked in the hotel and took a lunch break. Then they set off from the hotel and headed to Time Warner Center.

The reporters who were chasing and intercepting along the way, including the reporters who had been waiting in the parking lot of Time Warner Center, raised many questions, but were rejected by the silent Celtics.

Before the game, all Celtics were silent.

Until they entered the locker room, Doug Rivers began his performance:

"Did you see the crazy reporters outside the door? Do you know why they weren't that excited before the regular season, the first round of the playoffs and even the second round of the playoffs?"

"Because of the regular season, we went well before the first round of the playoffs and even the second round of the playoffs. Until the second round of the playoffs started, we were 0-2 behind!"

"They want to see our jokes, and it's already exciting for them to fall behind 0-2. They want to see us turn over, but can we get them to do it?"

"cannot!"

Outside the door, if the reporters could hear Rivers' words, they would be confused and scream in grievance.

It would be fine if Sam Vincent pulled them out and inspired the team's fighting spirit. After all, this group of Brick reporters is indeed a bit outrageous. The Bobcats are leading 2-0, and they are still optimistic about the Celtics.

But Rivers also used this group of brick reporters as tools to see their jokes?
