Zhou Mubai just thought Rondo had a weird personality and did not think that Rondo had malicious intentions towards him. In fact, even if Zhou Mubai was there, he would not care. After he fought with Kidd and Paul, he already had a deep understanding of his strength.

Although point guards such as Nash, Deron and Ross have not fought, they should not be much better than Paul. On the contrary, Paul may be even harder to deal with than them, because Paul is the point guard who truly combines his body, technology and brain, and his small moves are even more difficult to deal with.

Since he can restrain Paul, it should be no big problem to restrain other point guards, let alone this Rondo.

The competition began with the clamor of "beat    la".

The Celtics' starting lineup is Rondo, Ray Allen, Pierce, Garnett and Perkins.

The starting players of the Lakers are Zhou Mubai, Kobe, Artest, Odom and Bynum.

Both the main players and benches are very strong, which is the strength of the championship team.

After the game started, Zhou Mubai felt the pressure of defense for the first time.

Bynum and Perkins jumped the ball and transferred the ball to Zhou Mubai. Zhou Mubai advanced to the frontcourt and made a gesture. Kobe ran from the left and received the ball on the right. Ray Allen immediately caught up. Pierce next to him immediately surrounded him and did not give Kobe a chance to play singles.

Kobe could only pass it to Artest who was emptied, and Artai passed it to Zhou Mubai. Zhou Mubai dribbled to the right, and Artai quickly came up to cover it, and Zhou Mubai broke through inside.

This breakthrough Celtics immediately closed the net, blocking his passing route. Garnett and Perkins were guarding the basket, and Rondo was chasing behind him.

Zhou Mubai understood the situation as soon as he saw this.

——The Celtics are breaking the connection between him and his teammates.

The Celtics used the method of hitting Kobe against holding the ball, and tried to concentrate the ball on Zhou Mubai.

The way to deal with Zhou Mubai is to defend against three-pointers and the basket and block Zhou Mubai's passing route, which is to break the connection between him and his teammates.

This is how teams like the Spurs and Celtics deal with James. Unexpectedly, the Celtics use it directly to deal with themselves.

Zhou Mubai was a little funny. They regarded themselves as James.

You can't be wrong when dealing with yourself in this way. After all, the basket and three-pointers are the scoring methods you use most often because they are the most efficient, but it is not that you are not good at mid-range.

The biggest loophole in defense like the Celtics is that they almost let go of the middle distance. Once they encounter the middle distance master, it will be almost fatal.

It just so happens that Zhou Mubai is also a middle-distance master. The reason why he doesn't vote is because of efficiency, not because he is not good at it.

So Zhou Mubai made three shots.

Rondo hesitated a little and looked at coach Rivers. Coach Rivers nodded to him, indicating that there was no need to change tactics, but there were always many delays in defense.

The so-called big delay is when defending the pick-and-roll. The center of the defensive party rushed forward to delay the ball-holder's breakthrough, giving the defender the chance to chase and defend. This move is very useful for defenders with average ball handling ability.

Zhou Mubai advanced to the frontcourt and waved Bynum to pick-and-roll. Perkins rushed up first and decisively delayed. But Zhou Mubai was Zhou Mubai after all, so he withstood Perkins. Perkins only felt a burst of force coming and was suppressed by Zhou Mubai and rushed over.

"What a lot of strength!"

Perkins was very shocked. He was a big center. Even when facing Bynum, a heavy center known as the little Shark, he could withstand it. Unexpectedly, he was suppressed by a small defender. How powerful is this little defender?

Rondo was still preparing to bypass Bynum from behind. Now Zhou Mubai was already flat in front of him. Zhou Mubai suddenly entered, Garnett had a hideous face and came back with a fierce look.

Ordinary people may be greatly affected when they encounter Garnett's fierce look, but they are just a pediatric department in front of Zhou Mubai and rushed over directly.

Garnett could only try to move forward as much as possible, and Odom behind him didn't care. Zhou Mubai jumped and attracted Garnett, and gently gave the ball to Odom in the air. Odom jumped and dunked the ball into the basket.

The Lakers seized all four attacks.

The Celtics wanted to use this method to restrict the Lakers, but Zhou Mubai used it directly to exploit such a loophole and beat it four times in a row. Coach Rivers couldn't sit still and quickly called a timeout.

Should I continue this strategy?

Rivers was a little embarrassed.

If this strategy continues, Zhou Mubai will not be restricted. If this strategy is not used, Kobe will be released.

Rivers thought for a long time and could only use the old method to deal with the Lakers - shrink the defense line, block the three-point line, and let the Lakers fight with him.

Rivers' trouble is Phil Jackson's happiness, and Zhou Mubai's handling of the ball made him nod frequently.

The Celtics are old opponents. In the past, when they fought, the Celtics had a great restriction on the Lakers. The main reason is that the Celtics can match the Lakers both inside and outside.

Although Perkins and Davis are not good at offense, they can offset the Lakers' double heights. The Lakers' double height towers have an advantage when facing other teams, but they lose their playing field against the Celtics.

Only Kobe is the real All-Star perimeter in the Lakers. Fisher has no creativity and can only passively act as a space point. All the pressure is on Kobe's head.

Odom can help Kobe distract some of the pressure, but he can't do much.

So in the finals of 2007-08, the Celtics tried their best to limit Kobe, and Kobe fell into a human-sea tactic, which announced the Lakers' failure. The Celtics solved the game in six games.

Zhou Mubai's appearance solved this problem, but when the Celtics tried their best to limit Kobe, they could not limit Zhou Mubai.

However, from the Celtics' defensive strategy, they have done some research on Zhou Mubai, and specifically restricted Zhou Mubai's three-pointers and the basket, blocked his contact with his teammates. If others were targeted like this, they might be very embarrassed because they could not get weapons in their arsenal.

But Zhou Mubai not only has accurate three-pointers and efficient ending at the basket, but also is so proficient in the classic technology of middle distance, which is beyond Rivers' calculations.

When Phil Jackson thought of this, he couldn't help but feel amazed. Zhou Mubai was so comprehensive. So far, even he had not found any flaws in Zhou Mubai that could be exploited.
