Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 572 How many dads are there in Boston!

"BOS, Who's Your Daddy!"

“Michael————Jordan!!!”

At Boston's North Shore Garden, cheers for Jordan resounded through the sky.

After the game started, Jordan unlimitedly defended and pressed the ball handler, playing the strongest one-on-one defense in NBA history.

None of the Celtics' five starting players, no, all of the Celtics' ball-handling players, could stop a defense like Jordan.

After the Celtics started the game, they couldn't even organize a decent offense.

I can only say that this Celtics team's ball-control and organizational abilities are really poor, and the best ball-control and organizational player is actually Smart.

How can a small Smart be enough for Jordan?

Fortunately, the Bobcats' own offense was also not good.

Jordan's offense was still influenced by: "Jordan, I'm your father!"

Although there were many strong shots in the first quarter, basically none of them went in.

So, judging from the score, the two teams were actually evenly matched.

This can be considered a slight consolation for the Celtics fans at the scene.

No matter how good your defense is in the NBA, in the end you still have to rely on offense and scoring to win the final victory.

Because of Jordan's poor shooting, it was very easy for the Celtics to defend.

Especially there is a Bobcats player named Beasley who is undercover for the Celtics on the court.

Even if Jordan can't play well on offense, his defense can still provide positive help to the team.

Then Beasley, after being controlled by James, was really bad at offense and defense.

So, when the Bobcats fans at the scene shouted, "BOS, Who's Your Daddy!", the Celtics fans who reacted were really funny.

"Michael! Beasley!"

"Michael! Beasley!"

After a Bobcats fan asked, who is the father of Boston, the Celtics fans immediately replied, Beasley.

Well, the Celtics fans did this and made the Bobcats fans at the scene a little confused.

Is there anything wrong with Celtics fans shouting like this?
It seems, as if, when I think about it carefully, there really is no problem.

If the Celtics can win this game, the Celtics cannot even start the party unless Beasley comes to the celebration party.

From this perspective, there is nothing wrong with saying that Beasley is the father of the Celtics.

So, when such a joke came out, the most embarrassed person was Beasley who came off the court.

Well, this kind of cooperation between the two teams did make Beasley a little embarrassed.

It wasn't because the Celtics fans teased him that he was embarrassed, but because the Bobcats fans were clearly teasing him as well.

Now that they know that Celtics fans are making fun of it, Bobcats fans don't actually have to shout anymore. They won't get an answer from Jordan anyway, and that would be bad.

But these Bobcats fans are obviously very dissatisfied with him.

He didn't attack or defend much on the court. He was basically blocked by James and disappeared on both the offensive and defensive ends.

Not to mention the fans, even the Bobcats players have some opinions about Beasley.

However, the Celtics players did not have such a big opinion. They still understood basketball and knew that Beasley did not warm up before the game, slept since the afternoon, and even did not have dinner.

I guess I am hungry and feeling tight now.

Therefore, it is not suitable for high-intensity exercise.

If Beasley hadn't insisted on going up, in fact, he would not be suitable to play in the first half of the game.

Therefore, in the second quarter, facing the increasingly intense taunts from the fans, Du Kang did not let Beasley play.

The warm-up in the first quarter was enough.

If you warm up again, the energy consumption will be greater.

So, when the game between the Bobcats and the Celtics was going on on the court, all the spectators saw Beasley sitting on the sidelines eating a banana and drinking an energy drink.

Sitting next to Beasley was Du Kang.

Du Kang didn't even go to the sidelines to direct the game, but sat in his seat and got food for Beasley.

Good guy.

The Celtics and Bobcats are still fighting fiercely.

One is the head coach of the team, and the other is the second in command of the team, yet they are so absent-minded.

"Michael, this is not your stage yet. Now, give the stage to Michael. After Michael, there will always be opportunities for you to perform."

Beasley nodded as he ate.

It feels great to be trusted.

Beasley was just curious about how much the coach would trust him.

Halfway through the second quarter, while Jordan was resting, the Celtics, who were rotating seven players in this game, took the lead with the advantage of a short rotation lineup.

The Celtics' overall strength is definitely not as good as that of the Bobcats.

But many of the Bobcats' main players will not play in this game.

At the same time, the Celtics' seven-man rotation is still very solid, with Davis, Leonard, James, Smart, George, Marvin Williams and Jeff Green.

With seven forwards who can run, jump, attack and defend, the game is really fast.

Unless Jordan can keep pressing and defending the ball handler for 48 minutes, the Celtics' offense will still be able to play out.

It is obvious that even if Jordan had a purple physical skill, Du Kang would not be able to let Jordan lead the defense for 48 minutes.

Even Kobe would be exhausted after leading the defense for 20 minutes in a game.

No matter how strong Jordan's physical strength is, it is impossible for him to rely on such full-court defense and pressing for 48 minutes.

In fact, the limit for most NBA star players to spend this way is about 20 minutes, or even less.

Because in international competitions, the US team likes to defend like this, full-court or half-court pressing defense, which is the US team's invincible weapon.

The US team will basically only let its players play no more than 25 minutes in full-court and half-court press.

The Celtics' forward-pressing tactics are very powerful.

Beasley couldn't stop James's forward-forcing tactics, and the other forwards of the Bobcats, apart from Ding Yanyuhang and Grant Hill, were actually in trouble too.

Therefore, this Celtics team is still very strong when they can play the forward-pushing tactics.

However, only Jordan can break through the pressure.

So something interesting happened.

In the middle of the second quarter, the Celtics took the lead with their forward-pushing tactics, but after Jordan came on the court, he broke the Celtics' forward-pushing tactics.

One person cracks a tactical system.

Now Jordan's reputation in system defense has officially reached Nash's level.

No matter how strong your individual defense is, it is not as good as defending a team like Nash.

Therefore, the highest level of defense for a player is not just average or assisting defense, but defending like Nash.

In this game, Jordan not only earned the title of Celtics' father in the first quarter, but also earned the title of someone who defends like Nash.

Can defend a team like Nash.

And he himself possesses top-notch one-on-one and assist defense abilities. Jordan now says that he is the best defender in NBA history, and there is no problem with that.

After all, it is the team that can silence the Celtics and Boston fans with their defense.

Therefore, the Celtics finally took the lead by relying on the seven-man rotation of the team's stars, but after Jordan came on, the slight lead could no longer be expanded.

The most important thing for the Celtics now is winning.

As long as we can win this game and make the score 1 to 2, then everything will be fine and there will still be opportunities in the future.

But if they lose the final game and are beaten 0-3, then they will naturally lose the Eastern Conference Finals.

Therefore, the Celtics don't care about whether the game is exciting or not, as long as they win. If they win, everything will be fine. If they don't win, then there is no point.

So of course they hope that Jordan doesn't have to play and it would be best if he just sits on the sidelines.

Although they all adopt the consumption strategy.

Jordan consumed only himself, but forced the Celtics to consume seven people.

If the lead is big, the Celtics can actually rotate more players in.

Anyway, Jordan has problems with offense now. As long as the players are not too bad, it will be difficult for the Bobcats to attack and score.

Without Jordan's offensive threat, the Celtics' defense will be much easier and the defensive effect will be much better.

But the Bobcats have Jordan.

Therefore, the Celtics want to defeat the Bobcats, the sooner the better. When it comes to the critical moment, the Celtics will definitely have no confidence. Everyone knows that Coach D's team has a terrifying ability to play key balls.

However, at the end of the second quarter, the score between the two sides was 40 to 34, and the Celtics were leading by 6 points. However, this lead really made people feel not reassuring.

"If only Beasley had played in the second quarter, we would have definitely been ahead by more than 10 points!"

After the second quarter, many Celtics fans at the scene sighed, wishing Beasley had played in the second quarter.

Then they turned their attention to Beasley and found that Beasley was still chewing something.

Well, seeing Beasley eating so happily, the Bobcats fans who had been teasing Beasley together with the Celtics fans all laughed.

So we are fighting a life-and-death battle, and you, as the second in command, are only concerned with eating?
Even if you don't dare to go on the court, you can just applaud from the sidelines.

Now that the first half is over, after many experts’ speculations and explanations during this half, basically everyone has accepted this setting.

That is, in order to repay Coach D's kindness, Beasley was willing to wake up and fight for Coach D even if he didn't want to play this game anymore.

However, Coach D is a well-known head coach who likes to protect his players.

How could Coach D allow his players to suffer on the court and be beaten to death by their opponents?

So, although Beasley was willing to play for Coach D.

But Coach D took the initiative to protect Beasley.

That is to let Beasley pretend to start.

He started in the first quarter and did not play in the other three quarters.

Even though he was starting in the first quarter, Coach D told Beasley not to force it and to just stand there and disappear.

The reason why so many people speculate like this is because this is the only reason that makes sense. Why did Beasley, who started the game, perform so negatively in the first quarter, even more negative than when he met James in the regular season before.

When he met James in the regular season before, although Beasley was very uncomfortable with James, Beasley never backed down. He still did what he had to do and dared to fight and grab.

It’s just that I can’t compete with James, and I can’t snatch it away from James.

And now?

Beasley almost stood there motionless on the court.

what is this?
Beasley is definitely not a player who plays so passively. The only possibility is that Coach D deliberately asked Beasley not to be too active, that is, to fulfill his previous promise. Beasley and Jordan will start in this game.

Just to finish this.

If Beasley is really injured in this game, what will happen in the finals?
James really broke my mentality in this game.

What about the finals?
Now no one believes that the Celtics can beat the Bobcats and make it to the finals.

Therefore, when the Bobcats are bound to enter the finals, it is reasonable for Coach D to consider protecting Beasley for the sake of their opponents in the finals.

However, although it is reasonable, it is definitely controversial to let players play passively in this way.

So, during the half-time break, many experts and commentators were discussing this issue.

"Of course I will not support Coach D. Letting Beasley start in this way, other than Coach D not getting slapped in the face by himself, he will get nothing else. This is fooling the fans, and it is also irresponsible to the players and his own reputation. I would rather see Coach D get slapped in the face for not fulfilling his previous promise in this game than to see Beasley perform like this on the court. This is one of the ugliest performances in NBA history. He is Beasley, he is Coach D1! Their game should not be played like this!"

Naturally, most people were critical.

It is not right to let a player stand on the court for a whole quarter just to avoid being slapped in the face.

More importantly, there is no harm without contrast.

How did Jordan perform in this game?
That's real hard work!

Jordan's hard work and Beasley's acting formed the sharpest contrast.

Therefore, even the Bobcats fans at the scene couldn't stand it and began to cooperate with the Celtics fans to ridicule Beasley.

Not to mention these media experts and commentators who love to watch the fun and make trouble.

You know, during the half-time break, the Celtics fans and Bobcats fans at the scene were still working together to tease Beasley.

"Who is Celtic's daddy!"

"Michael! Beasley!!"

"Who is Boston's daddy!"

"Michael! Beasley!!!"

Wow, Beasley became the first father that Boston Celtics fans voluntarily recognized as!

"Perhaps, this is the only good news and the only gain from this game for Coach D and Beasley, ahahahaha..."

In the third quarter, when Beasley still did not start, the Celtics fans at the scene were very happy.

In the third quarter, players on both sides were fighting hard on the court, while Beasley was warming up below.

This kind of warm-up makes people want to laugh.

"Hahahaha, is Coach D planning to let Beasley play?"

"After the third quarter, the Celtics led by 65 points, 55 to 10. Michael Jordan is running out of energy. If Coach D dares to let Beasley play, we will call Coach D dad!"

The DJ on the scene was cheering and making jokes with the fans.

Amazing Monty laughed.

But, it was just a smile.

The important thing is to win the game, and we can't relax at all.

All first releases!
Keep up the good work!
As for the Bobcats lineup, it doesn't matter. Jordan is exhausted, and so many of the Bobcats' main players are not strong. Coach D wants to prove that Jordan and Beasley can lead the Bobcats to win, which also helps him a lot.

Now, Jordan is exhausted and the Bobcats are still 10 points behind, so they are bound to lose!
Never mind what the Bobcats' lineup is.

He knows Coach D, and the players who dominated the first two games will not play.

As expected, those players who were so powerful did not play.

But when he saw the Bobcats' lineup for the fourth quarter, the smile on Monty's face froze.

Because, he saw Beasley!
Coach D put Beasley on the court in the fourth quarter!!!
Neither will the Celtics fans at the scene!

Should I call Coach D "Dad"?

Coach D also put Beasley undercover for the Celtics.

Logically speaking, it should be called.

But why, some things can’t be said out loud?

Let’s call him Beasley!
"Who is Boston's daddy!"

"Beasley!"

Cheers rang out, Beasley walked onto the court, and the air in the North Shore Garden was filled with the smell of joy.

James, George, Smart, Davis, and even Leonard were all amused by Celtics fans.

And what about Beasley?
Beasley prepared to go on the court, then went off the court and got his drink back from the staff.

I also took a sip of energy drink while it was still hot.

Seeing this, James muttered in disdain.

"waste!"

This person has been ruined by himself, and his personality has even changed!
