Forward to the basket

As an assistant coach who has been with Popovich for three years, Mike Brown still has his own set of things, although this guy gives people the impression that most of them are still hugging their thighs.

Uh, I didn't have the chance to hug before, but now I have to hug a thick thigh like the little emperor, no matter what, not everyone has this kind of opportunity.

Maybe this guy also wants to follow the example of the "Zen Master" and win nine consecutive NBA championships next to Jordan and O'Neal. Auerbach has always been a little bit snarky about that kind of behavior.

"That lucky guy." Auerbach rarely commented on others, but "Zen Master" won nine championships, which really made the old man a little upset.

After all, in the coaching business, someone finally surpassed the Cardinal in the total number of trophies, at least in the number of championship rings.

Mike Brown is actually not the kind of person who is incompetent, but compared with his former boss, he is definitely not that strong.

Popovich's book belongs to the kind of military personality that says nothing. Whoever dares to commit a crime under his command, this old guy will definitely dare to send the troublemaker to the [-]th floor of hell.

From the team owner to the main player, Popovich is the center, and no one will lose their temper in the Spurs.

Auerbach once said, "In Popovich's eyes, the basketball court is like a battlefield. Deserters and those who disobey orders should be shot directly. There is no other way."

Popovich is such a tough character, but Zhang's bread-like Mike Brown has followed Popovich's defensive style of play, but he can't achieve that harsh coaching style.

The main reason is that Mike Brown's qualifications are too shallow. Even compared with the "little general", his coaching experience does not have much advantage.

The second youngest head coach represents a new force. Similarly, he also represents inexperienced and unable to suppress the number one star in the team.

When facing LeBron James, Mike Brown still used a persuasive way to warn the opponent how to dominate the game and lead his teammates.

A guy who was originally a high school student, working with such an immature head coach, it's no wonder that the Cleveland media has never been very interested in Mike Brown.

In the eyes of those picky guys, I am afraid that only a coach like "Zen Master" can help Cleveland plunder the championship and train the little emperor well.

As for the lukewarm Brown, well, people in Cleveland call this guy bread. Can you expect a bread to lead your team to show toughness?

Tough character?That has nothing to do with Mike Brown, at least when facing the little emperor, his coach has never been tough, as for prestige?Uh, still negligible.

However, having a No. [-] figure like the little emperor by his side can really save the head coach a lot of worry. The Cavaliers are obviously playing the superstar card now.

Although the little emperor has not ascended the throne yet, he already has a lot of halos on his head. An unborn genius, such a hat has been with him as early as his high school years.

The biggest advantage of talented players is that the team can ignore some conventional tactics unscrupulously, at critical moments?Handing over the ball to the little emperor is the best choice.

Everything depends on the star's own touch to determine the outcome. When Mike Brown is coaching such a team, it is really quite worry-free.

However, Rivers does not envy Mike Brown's situation. At least in his opinion, a coach must be able to control the team and keep all the players around him.

This is the case with the current Celtics. Although Pierce is the boss of the team, this guy never opposes the decisions made by Rivers.

Jefferson is even more boring, let alone a junior like Rondo, as long as it is a task assigned by Rivers and Thibodeau, this guy will seriously complete it.

Even those old ball ruffians dare not make waves in front of Rivers, so no matter how Rivers adjusts, the entire team is in a healthy operation.

Well, there are still exceptions, not everyone is so obedient, such as the little madman.

But it is also because of the existence of that kid that the current chemical effect of the Celtics can explode so intensely. Who would have imagined before the start of the season that they could be so fierce.

Of course, if that kid could be as obedient as Rondo, Firth would really worship God directly there.

Although Rivers didn't have a high opinion of his peer Mike Brown, he didn't underestimate anyone's capital. Just like the current Celtics, they haven't been able to despise other teams.

The Cavaliers can rush to the second place in the East. This is by no means a team that can win 15 wins and 5 losses with the little emperor alone. Those Cleveland people are not easy to deal with.

When Rivers watched the video of the last few games of the Cavaliers, he knew that those Cleveland people were quite fierce and not so easy to provoke.

With LeBron James as the absolute core, supplemented by a second-in-command like Larry Hughes, and a large center like Ilgauskas.

Then there's Snow, Gooden, Marshall, Varejao and Damon Jones who can come in and score or grab rebounds off the bench.

"Cleveland has saved that kid's character for three years. Now it seems that it is time for them to harvest. With the current lineup, it is indeed easy to make a breakthrough in performance."

Looking at the roster of the Cavaliers, Rivers was a little bit envious, but he calmed down imagining the hard life of the Cleveland people before James was drawn.

"The two Gilbert brothers seldom do loss-making business. Investing in James is just to make Cleveland get more income. Now it seems that this is very worthwhile."

Thibodeau did not refute his partner's ideas, and he also saw it this way. The Cavaliers have accumulated players for several years and made consecutive transactions in order to build a platform for James to win the championship.

The unsuccessful impact of the previous two years has already made the two Gilbert brothers and the management of the Cavaliers start to worry. After all, James' next contract has not yet been determined.

If the Cavaliers can't show the competitiveness they deserve, God knows whether James will choose to stay.

If such a box office guarantee is let go, the Gilbert brothers will probably kill the entire management of the team immediately.

That's why they have spared no effort to contribute to the Cavaliers this season. They recruited several capable factions who entered the player market to test the waters.

Guys like Gibson and Jackson are now squatting on the Cavaliers' bench, waiting for the opportunity to play. The strength of the team also has the opportunity to hit the top spot in the East for the first time.

The Pistons gradually weakened after winning the championship. Although they still have a camel-like airs, they can only be regarded as still strong. As for whether they can really kill people, it remains to be seen.

After the Heat staged a major reversal in the finals, the personnel changes were a bit severe. Even with the old guy Riley in charge, the bravery was much weaker.

Whether there is still a chemical reaction between Wade and O'Neal, no one can give the answer, including themselves.

Needless to say, the 76ers, the conflict between Iverson and the management has almost become public.

Without the sharpest tooth, can Philadelphia repeat the scenery of the year?I'm afraid after the Celtics beat them madly, no one has this idea anymore.

The Nets still have a certain degree of competitiveness, but facing the menacing little emperor and the Cavaliers who have accumulated a lot of talented players, it is still unknown whether their net can still be covered.

Perhaps apart from the fact that the Magic have a certain degree of competitiveness, now is the best time for the Cavaliers to reach the top. With a strong core and a group of capable players, the basic conditions are already in place.

Now let's see how Mike Brown trains this group of guys. If you look at the current momentum to hit the top spot in the East, maybe they can really create some miracles.

What the opponent wants to do has nothing to do with Rivers and the Celtics. They just want to win at the North Shore Garden Arena, and they have to ask these bandits in green clothes.

"Use your hands to tell those guys, this is not Cleveland, besides the boos of the fans, there are you here, want to win? Ask us?"

After Rivers said this in the locker room, he pulled the door of the room open, and then made a gesture to the group of guys whose emotions had been ignited.

"It's time to get on the court, kick those guys over, put your feet in their faces, and tell the people of Cleveland that Boston isn't where they should be."

Thibodeau was listening to these words, and he had nothing to say, because he felt more and more that his partner had become extremely tough since the beginning of this season.

Not only in terms of tactics, but also in his usual style, he is like a bandit, fierce, unreasonable, and strongly aggressive.

"It's all the changes brought about by that kid, who knows what this team will become in the future..."

Uh, indeed, without Chen Feng's wildness fermenting in the team, maybe the current Celtics are still the same as before, tepid, not as wild and rough as they are now.

However, there is nothing wrong with this, Thibodeau comforted himself so much, at least those guys are very eager for victory now, no matter what opponent they encounter, they dare to show their bayonets and fight a duel.

Second in the East?We even dare to provoke the mad cows who are number one in the west, let alone you who are number two.

When the wild guys of the Celtics stepped into the center of the field from the player channel to the shouts of the live DJ, they were destined not to easily admit defeat to anyone.

Want to take the top spot in the East? ok, no problem, step over from Lao Tzu, otherwise we won't talk about it.

Boston has never been used to anyone's faults. No matter whose sign you are holding, no matter who you are, you have to stand at attention when you arrive at the North Shore Garden Arena!

If you are second in the Eastern Conference, you can be Niu Boyi?It's you vanguards that I cut!

The group of cattle in Boston roared collectively after entering the arena, and the response from the entire arena was, "Oh~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!"

Don't try to show your brutality in Boston!The green shirt bandits here are the most ferocious!

Anyway, Chen Feng had already bared his teeth, as for whoever gets bitten, it's up to fate.

Respect your opponent?That kid doesn't have this concept, he only destroys.

The Celtics' opening show was really brutal. A group of bandit-like guys attracted more than 1 people to roar with them. This way of welcoming their opponents was quite ferocious.

Everyone on the Cavaliers side looked very serious. It is estimated that this group of guys who came from afar did not expect that the Bostonians would greet them in such a sturdy way.

Coupled with the fact that there was a live DJ nearby to create the atmosphere, the atmosphere was completely turned upside down before the game even started.

Of course, this fiery atmosphere is definitely not what the Cleveland Cavaliers want. Mike Brown has always been afraid to meet a group of desperadoes.

But judging from the current situation, what he was going to meet head-on was really a group of unscrupulous and tough opponents. This away game was definitely not easy to play.

Can turn an ordinary regular season into a bloody playoff game, you really have to admire the Boston people's ability to create a hot atmosphere.

The fans and the Celtics bandits over there were thoroughly excited, and Mike Brown had to seize the last little time to tell the players who were going to play.

LeBron James, Hughes, Ilgauskas, Gooden, Snow, these five guys have almost become the regular starters of the Cavaliers, as long as there are no injuries, they will not change.

So when Rivers was preparing before the game, he didn't even bother to guess. The main reason is that Rivers is really adapting to all changes!Life or death will not change the starting lineup.

"This is the opponent's home court. They will definitely rush after they come up, and they must be steady. We can't let them play too smoothly in this atmosphere, otherwise there will be trouble."

Mike Brown explained the tactical arrangement seriously, but whether it can be implemented in place depends on how the little emperor leads these guys.

"No problem." James' answer was simple and clear. As for whether he would do that, only God knows.

The absolute core has spoken, and others will naturally not show their specialness. Mike Brown needs them to be more stable, so be more stable, that guy is a coach.

There is no problem with the tactical arrangement, but Mike Brown is still a little annoyed by the hot atmosphere in the arena. He really doesn't understand that this is necessary for a regular season?

However, Rivers has no time to take into account the mood of his colleagues. He doesn't have to guess the opponent's lineup, but his team must be prepared to deal with it.

Pierce, Rondo, Jefferson, Szczerbiak, Chen Feng, and Rivers put out such a lineup, which is quite appetizing to the fans. He doesn't intend to fight his opponents to death.

Let the opponent lead the way at home?That one time with the Mavericks is enough, now the Celtics must take the initiative on the field in their own hands!

Putting on a stance and fighting with the opponent, now Rivers is definitely barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, whoever he loves!Anyway, if he can afford to lose, there is nothing he dare not do.

Both teams are making the final preparations for playing, but the atmosphere in the arena has always been in an excited state. The fans are excited, and the DJ is also fanning the flames. As for the commentary, uh, they are not idle either.

However, the broadcast commentary arranged by TNT this time is quite sloppy. Usually there is a guy like Kenny Smith who behaves properly and seriously, but this time he didn't come.

The person in charge of broadcasting on TNT TV didn't know what he was thinking, but he actually put Miller and Barkley's big mouths together. A few minutes before the start of the game, they could only hear the two of them making noise.

Although the two of them were poor enough, Barkley and Miller didn't use their mouths to praise the phenomenal guy like the little emperor.

This pair of old buddies had never seen anything before. Barkley dared to punch O'Neal back then, not to mention Miller. In the Eastern Conference Finals, he dared to push Jordan Biao for a three-pointer.

In terms of personality, these two guys are so tough, who would dare to provoke them easily?This is the case when they play, when they enter the commentary world, they are also two knife mouths.

Generally, if a novice is talked about by the two of them, half of his life will probably be taken away. Only Chen Feng, a cold and unscrupulous animal-type talent, can hold Barkley's mouth.

Facing such a new idol jointly launched by the alliance and manufacturers, they will not belittle the role of the other party, but if they are to be praised, there are probably not many people who are qualified to do so.

But before the game started, Barkley still had to speak for Chen Feng, after all, he was the little guy who had played with him on the court.

"Hey, Reggie, I bet the Celtics will have an unforgettable night. I can't predict whether they will win, but Ilgauskas and Varejao will definitely regret coming here." Buck Lina's sneaky expression was quite unbearable, but what he said got Miller's response.

"Although your luck in betting has always been very bad, but once I stood with you, the inside of the Cavaliers encountered Jefferson and that kid. It will definitely not be easy."

Miller is not an idiot, and just like Barkley, after watching that game, he still remembers the wild boy's crazy expression.

Even in the era when he had a lot of outstanding big men, the toughness of that kid can still fight for his own piece of sky in the basket surrounded by tall people.

The two chatterboxes were still using their tongues, but they didn't need to continue to exaggerate the atmosphere on the field. The two teams, ten tough guys, had already collided head-on.

The shouting in the North Shore Garden Arena reached its peak from the moment the referee blew the whistle, especially when the fans watched Chen Feng, who was standing in the middle circle jumping the ball, facing Ilgauskas, who was half a head taller than himself. The moment the basketball was shot flying, the cheers almost lifted the roof of the arena.

Ilgauskas did not expect that his tall man of more than two meters and 20 meters would lose in the jump ball to a novice who was half a head shorter than himself.

And it wasn't just a small loss. When the kid jumped up, he didn't give Ilgauskas any chance at all. With an advantage of more than half a palm, he slapped the basketball away.

This is definitely not the scene that shocked Ilgauskas the most. When the flying basketball fell into Rondo's hands, the other four green figures besides this guy were all flying like arrows.

Including Chen Feng, who was in charge of the jump ball in the middle circle, had already thrown off Ilgauskas, and rushed towards the basket in a hurry.

Snow, who had just reacted, wanted to raise his hand to stop Rondo, but it was too late. The guy who was still in his own half threw the ball towards the basket as if throwing a grenade.

It was really a throw. When someone replayed this scene after the game, it was obvious that Rondo had definitely practiced track and field. I went, at that moment, he was simply playing shot put.

But the most amazing scene is definitely not Rondo's tough passing method, but the horror scene that happened under the Cavaliers basket.

The Cavaliers didn't expect the Celtics to play such a brutal fast break. The ball was already passed to the basket within three seconds of the jump ball. How can this be prevented?

Only Varejao, who was dragging behind, had time to retreat, but this guy didn't even have time to jump up, when he saw the thrown basketball being intercepted by two pairs of big hands.

That's right, it was two hands, Jefferson and Chen Feng rose into the air at the same time, pressing down on the basketball at the same time.

Two guys with unusually sturdy physiques, two pairs of powerful big hands, grabbing the basketball and pressing it hard into the basket at the same time, what effect will it have?

Anyway, according to the reporters under the basket afterwards, they all swore that they absolutely heard the metallic hiss of the basket being pulled down.

The ferocious pulling, the shaking of the basketball hoop, but the scariest thing was the roar of the bandits in green shirts after the fast break succeeded!

"Come on, you Clevelands, this is Boston! This is the Celtics!"

A group of bandits in green clothes are making frightening cries...
