: story?page=ScoutingPistonsCeltics-Game5
: By Mike Moreau
: Scouts Inc.
: The Boston Celtics will have two areas of defensive focus in their film study
: and preparation for Game 5: Forcing Antonio McDyess to put the ball on the
: floor and finding some help for Ray Allen on Richard Hamilton.
: In Game 4, McDyess was allowed to catch and shoot his midrange jump shot at
: will -- doing nothing more than taking a step to an open area and shooting
: from a stationary position. The Celtics just cannot allow this to happen in
: Game 5.
: Kendrick Perkins is a key help defender for the Celtics, but he strayed too
: far from McDyess in Game 4. McDyess struggles if he has to put the ball on
: the floor, and he has shown in the playoffs that he will turn the ball over
: if forced to pass. Expect Perkins, Kevin Garnett and P.J. Brown to share some
: duties on McDyess and play him "dead on the catch" -- with their No. 1
: priority to be in his face when he catches to make him dribble or pass.
C's 的兩個功課是要如何守住 Dyess 和幫助 Ray 守 Hamilton，
Perk 是賽隊主要補防 Dyess 的球員，可是 G4 時他都離 Dyess 很遠。
Dyess 的持球進攻不是強項，賽隊會讓他很難很難有好的空檔進行投射。
: To counter this move, look for the Pistons to isolate Rasheed Wallace in the
: post in Game 5 and use him as a first option, as they did more often in Game
: 4. Knowing that the focus on McDyess will prevent Boston's other big man from
: helping inside, Wallace will have a one-on-one battle in the post with more
: room to work.
活塞的對應之道就是會讓 Sheed 多持球低位，可以避免 Dyess 被幫忙防守。
: In Game 5, Boston also must use other defenders to help on Hamilton, who is
: dominating his matchup with Allen. Hamilton is running Allen to death with
: his constant flashing, cutting and posting, which not only frees up Hamilton
: on offense but also wears Allen down and affects him on his offensive end of
: the floor.
: Allen tried to chase Rip and match him cut for cut in Game 4, which played
: right into Hamilton's hands -- to which his 8-for-10 from the floor and
: 4-for-4 from the line will attest. In Game 5, the Celtics must use their big
: men to jam Hamilton on his cuts, hit him with forearms, give him hip checks
: and body shots to slow him up, reroute him and disrupt his timing. Look for
: some hard fouls on Hamilton off the ball, especially from Brown and Glen
: Davis, who have fouls to waste.
Ray 看起來一個人是守不住 Hamilton 了，賽隊應該會讓長人來幫忙防守，
預計對他會有一些粗暴的肢體接觸。
: Plus, look for more pressure on Chauncey Billups from Rajon Rondo in Game 5.
: The Celtics did this in their Game 3 win but got away from it in Game 4. With
: Billups' speed and acceleration limited, Rondo can use his quickness to
: pressure the Pistons' quarterback and disrupt entry passes and timing.
可能會利用 Rnodo 的速度來攻擊 Chauncey。
: Detroit's defense in Game 4 was a swarming mass of blocked shots, tips and
: deflections -- forcing turnovers and errant passes early in the game as the
: Celtics played way too fast and threw the ball over, behind and at the feet
: of receivers. The Celtics just could not match Detroit's early
: aggressiveness, and their spacing and timing were completely disrupted.
: Boston has had success in this series with Garnett and Perkins in the low
: post, and look for the Celtics to establish Garnett inside early in Game 5.
: This allows Perkins to roam and get to the offensive glass, and also allows
: Garnett to use his passing skills, which are nullified if he shoots only
: perimeter jump shots.
賽隊需要提防活塞壓迫式的防守，讓 KG 打到低位，Perk 就有進攻籃板的機會。
: Perkins also has shown an increasing ability to score inside in post
: isolations, and with Garnett a dangerous midrange shooter, Perkins can work
: one-on-one inside -- much like the Pistons will do with Wallace and McDyess.
: Detroit was much more physical defending the post-ups in Game 4 -- pushing
: Garnett off the block and out to the post extended. Expect physical
: confrontations on any attempted post-ups in Game 5, as KG will demand the
: ball inside.
Perk 看起來有了一點籃下單打的能力，有點像活塞會用 Sheed 和 Dyess 的方式，
不過活塞也會用很 physical 的方式把 KG 請出禁區外。
: The Paul Pierce-Tayshaun Prince battle will be a key factor at both ends in
: Game 5. Both players are fighting for every inch of space and contesting each
: other's every move. With Prince able to contest Pierce's jump shots and
: pull-ups with his length, expect Pierce to continue to drive and draw contact
: -- trying to get to the foul line, which he did 11 times in Game 4. Pistons
: defenders are still showing a tendency to buy shot fakes and jump into the
: shooters, which Boston is sure to exploit in Game 5.
PP & Prince 的戰爭會是 G5 最後的關鍵。
: Prince's mechanics have broken down on his normally reliable jump shot; his
: follow-through is inconsistent on open shots and his trajectory is being
: changed by Pierce's effective contesting. Prince will also look to post and
: use his jump hook, which Pierce is forcing him to shoot from further out on
: the floor.
小王子的進攻受到 PP 強力防守的挑戰，不過 PP 的防守策略會是把小王子擋出禁區，
避免他有 low-post 的機會。
: The Pistons had Rondo dribbling all over the floor in Game 4 but didn't allow
: him clear paths to the basket. Detroit just kept backing up and setting up
: road blocks in the lane, and Rondo was indecisive and reluctant to shoot from
: 15-18 feet, did not attempt a 3-point shot and shot only one free throw.
: Better spacing and timing will help open up Rondo's driving lanes, and look
: for high screen/roll action to help Rondo turn the corner and take away some
: of the lane congestion. He will also look for the drag screen early in the
: shot clock, blowing through the traffic between the circles to get to the
: paint and create.
Rondo 沒有投中距離的勇氣。看他這場的切入會不會給賽隊更多的 spacing。
: With control of the series at stake, look for Boston to run more action that
: includes all three of their best players -- with KG screening for Allen,
: Garnett popping or posting after the screen and Pierce cutting off Garnett
: for the handoff after the catch.
: Game 4 was the most physical game of this series -- and expect Game 5 to take
: the aggression level up another notch. Expect both teams to try to establish
: defensive dominance early, which has been the key to winning in this series.
: Look for the crowd to energize the Celtics and for their bench to play a big
: role in this one.
: PREDICTION: Celtics win Game 5
賽隊應該多讓 KG screen 配合 PP 和 Ray，G4 的強度很強了，
G5 絕對會往上提升。而且有主場威能。
預測：賽隊贏。
