Forward to the basket

Lian Biao scored [-] points. If this was placed in a normal game, it would probably be enough to detonate his team's scoring frenzy. With such a wave of offense, most of the games would have to be reversed.

But today is an exception. At least for the little emperor who scored 21 points in a single quarter, he failed to help the team reverse successfully. At the end of the second quarter, the Cavaliers were still behind the Celtics.

The point difference is not big, just five points, but just five points, the Cavaliers have been struggling to catch up for a whole quarter.

Every time the little emperor or other Cavaliers approach the score, the Celtics always have a way to continue to use points to widen the gap.

Being cut by soft knives inch by inch, this is the situation that the Cavaliers are facing now. They attack not without viciousness, but every time after a successful attack, the opponent always has a way to regain the advantage.

Moreover, after Chen Feng's foul, most of the Cavaliers' offenses were concentrated outside the three-second zone. Only Ilgauskas made a putback under the basket and scored.

The rest of the time, it's either mid-range or three-pointers, and even the little emperor seldom hits the inside.

Even if the little emperor can always beat Tony Allen in a one-on-one confrontation, he rarely chooses to continue to break through after passing, and often takes the ball to shoot after getting out of the space.

There is no black hole that eats people inside the Celtics, but for the Cavaliers, there is something more terrifying than a black hole.

Although Chen Feng committed a technical foul against the little emperor, his big slap and the ruthlessness of the foul made many Cavaliers panic.

Even the little emperor dared to pull down the horse directly, so why wouldn't this kid dare to do it?Do you really want to seek death by yourself?Do you really think that kid didn't dare to make a move?

In fact, the little emperor didn't give up after being pulled, but when he attacked the basket with the ball for the second time, Chen Feng slapped him again when he was behind his head.

This time, he didn't slap anyone away, but because of this slap, the little emperor's layup finally came out of the basket, which made the little emperor who had always advertised himself as strong even more annoyed.

Tony Allen is now clinging to Rivers' confession and not letting go. He doesn't want to steal the ball, he just wants to entangle the little emperor with all his heart, and doesn't go straight to the basket with the opponent.

As for the rest of the matter, naturally Perkins and Chen Feng will take care of it. Anyway, no matter who is going to make up for this, they will attack the little emperor without any scruples.

This was also explained by Rivers gesturing at the side. Anyway, Chen Feng had already started the game, so why should he have any scruples as the head coach?

Let's do it!It's better to be ruthless!If you can swipe the ball, you can swipe the ball, if you can't slap the ball, even the people will be taken care of!As long as you don't let the little emperor feel comfortable playing, you can do whatever you want!

At the beginning, Auerbach dared to take turns to make fouls in order to limit George Mikan, the top center of the Lakers. At that time, he was much more ruthless than he is now.

Rivers is just copying the old trick of his boss. For other points, he can relax a little bit, but under the basket and in the paint, no matter who comes in, he must be firmly stuck!

It is not necessary for the little emperor to double-team, but this guy must understand that the space under the basket is a place where there is no return.

Want to come in?Okay, no problem, as long as you can spare it, Rivers still has a lot of inside big men anyway.

If the number of fouls by Chen Feng and Perkins goes up, he can completely let Jefferson and Ogwakandi take over.

Even if guys like Ogwokandy and Ratliff are useless, if they get fouled or something, these guys can still make up the numbers.

What's more, if these old fritters want to make a move, they will definitely be quick and ruthless!It is estimated that the little emperor may not have the luck just now.

With such an unscrupulous head coach as the backing, Chen Feng and his gang still have to let go of their hands and feet to do it?The wild boy's big slap was called a vicious one.

The little emperor didn't get close, but Ilgauskas suffered. After two misplaced screens, he got the ball and went straight to the basket to score points, but he was slapped away by Chen Feng's damn big hand.

One of them was even more brutal. At first, Ilgauskas finally had a pick-and-roll with Hughes, leaving Perkins behind, but he just turned around and was about to score.

In just such a short moment, the basketball was just out of the control of his fingertips when it was nailed to the backboard by a huge slap.

The cap was so strong that the basketball didn't even have a chance to rebound, it was firmly pressed on top of the backboard by that hand.

The back of the No. 99 team uniform has almost become a nightmare for the Lithuanians, and it not only made Ilgauskas feel melancholy on the offensive end, but also the kid on the defensive end.

The Lithuanian giant might have endured the poor offense, but on the defensive end, the kid scored 8 points and 6 rebounds in a single quarter. Just after halftime, the kid already had a double-double.

This is really a direct and very fierce slap in the face. The inside line of the Cavaliers was completely blown away by such a person. This is also thanks to Rivers replacing Chen Feng with Jefferson in the last 3 minutes to rest. Otherwise, I really don't know how long this kid can continue to commit crimes under the basket.

The Celtics can be so stable and unhurriedly continue the offensive throughout the quarter, all because of their advantage at the basket.

Mike Brown was holding the statistics handed over by the assistant coach on the sidelines. He didn't even need to look carefully to know that the reason why the Cavaliers had such a beautiful offensive efficiency and failed to reverse the score was due to the interior In terms of contention, especially because of that bald wild boy!

A person's points and rebounds are twice as much as his overall inside contribution, especially in rebounds, that kid actually grabbed 4 offensive rebounds, and all of them were converted into points.

In addition to his own tip-in at the basket, the other three have benefited his teammates.

Rondo also got an opportunity to run empty-handed and cut into the basket to attack, and Pierce relied on these two offensive rebounds to get two consecutive mid-range opportunities.

There is such a ferocious inside beast rampaging in the paint, what a fart!It's not like Mike Brown didn't yell at his bigs, but it really didn't work...

Gooden was beaten to the point of wilting, and Ilgauskas was so ravaged by that kid that he wanted to cry.

The most vulnerable part of the Cavaliers is the inside line. It is good now, with the Celtics attacking so hard, this is no longer weak, it is completely crispy.

Let the opponent hit one shot, which means that the inside of the Cavaliers is now. Anyway, rebounds, points, and blocks are all suppressed by the opponent. This is a cruel reality.

Regardless of how happy Mike Brown was yelling on the sidelines, the scene was like this. He could only rely on the scoring of the little emperor and Hughes to chase each other as much as possible.

In addition to these two guys, Mike Brown's luck is good enough. Damon Jones made an unprecedented two three-pointers in the second quarter, which is also a surprise for the Cavaliers.

But if Mike Brown and the Cavaliers want to win the game, they can't rely on this kind of crazy attack. He must think of a good way to reverse the current unfavorable situation.

Mike Brown has to thank the end of the second quarter at the right time. If you come back for 2 minutes, wait for the bald boy to rest and come up again, it will not be a matter of 5 points.

Letting the opponent press down like this is enough to make Mike Brown scratch his head, and the ten minutes of intermission will give him time to think about it.

Mike Brown had been with Popovich for two or three years anyway, and he knew that it was impossible for the little emperor to rush down like this alone.

That's right, it's a personal weapon with a super scoring ability. It's only halftime, and they have already scored almost 30 points. If they can maintain this efficiency in the second half, it will not be difficult to break 50 points.

But Mike Brown is also clear that if the insider can't handle it, unless the little emperor is possessed by Zhang 100 tonight and can score [-] points against the sky, otherwise it will not be so easy to take away the victory.

"Damn the game, is this shit still in the rhythm of the regular season!?" Mike Brown really wanted to drag Rivers over to ask, is it necessary to fight so fiercely in the regular season?

This estimate can only be imagined. In terms of physique, Rivers should not be afraid of Mike Brown if he is singled out, not to mention that this is still at his home court.

Solving the inside, or to solve the bald wild boy, this is a problem that Mike Brown must consider now. If he can't solve the trouble inside, the Cavaliers will lose today.

It is useless to count on Gooden. Ilgauskas has carried it for almost 10 minutes. This is really not easy for a veteran with old injuries to both legs and knees.

Mike Brown didn't expect the Lithuanian giant to be used as an inside barrier at the moment, and he was even less confident about the other center candidate, Pollada, who was sitting on the bench.

That guy is a free agent. In the previous dozen games, he was really useless except for a meager amount of data in garbage time.

I really don’t know why the management of the Cavaliers signed this guy. Mike Brown sometimes even muttered in private, “It’s amazing that he can sell so much.”

There is no outstanding big man, which is Brown's most embarrassing problem now. After inspecting his bench lineup, he can only focus on Varejao.

Although that guy didn't have any outstanding performance in the second quarter, but he can grab 3 rebounds in a single quarter, and the Cavaliers are only left with this one.

However, it may be that Chen Feng stunned this guy during that technical foul, so in the second quarter, besides contributing 3 rebounds, the Brazilian contributed [-] free throws on the offensive end.

There is no stable offensive method and the shooting accuracy is not high, but Varejao can win a place in the Cavaliers, which in itself shows that this guy is not so parallel.

And the Cavaliers management has already prepared a three-year 3 million contract for this guy, which is not too bad for an insider.

Varejao's offense is nothing to look forward to, but the most ferocious contribution of this guy is on the defensive end. He can average about 7 rebounds per game and block about 1 shot.

With such stats at the bottom, even Ilgauskas dare not say that he has this Brazilian who can fight at the basket. Now Mike Brown desperately needs Varejao to play a role.

It's not like going to the wrong doctor, but there are really not many big men that Mike Brown can use now.

No one knew what Mike Brown had whispered to the Brazilian in the locker room. Varejao listened carefully, seeming to be nodding while listening.

Until the Cavaliers debuted again, Mike Brown also made some adjustments to the entire lineup, and his team began to rotate to a certain extent.

Ilgauskas went off, Goodon came on, Hughes went off, Marshall took over, Gibson replaced Damon Jones, only the little emperor and Varejao remained unchanged.

Mike Brown really wanted to let the little emperor down to rest, but considering that it is now the chasing stage, and the little emperor himself did not intend to suspend his attack mode, he did not change.

Marshall and Gibson's playing is also to allow the team to continue to have enough firepower to create space for the little emperor.

Now it seems that there is not much change. The Cavaliers still intend to use the little emperor as a spear to break the defense. While refreshing their personal data, they will continue to put pressure on the Celtics.

When Rivers was in the locker room, he didn't make any large-scale adjustments. He just let Rondo take a break for a while, and West took charge of the ball possession organization.

Szczerbiak came down and Pierce moved to the small forward position. After Tony Allen stalked the little emperor for a quarter, now Rivers plans to use Pierce to touch the opponent.

However, Rivers did not give Pierce any tasks. Anyway, the core of his team is not a fledgling. He should know what to do.

Tony Allen temporarily returned to the bench to rest after beating the little emperor for a quarter, and Telfair, who had just returned from injury, took over.

The inside adjustment may be the easiest. Perkins temporarily replenished his energy. After all, it really consumes a lot for him to shuttle back and forth inside to defend with such a big body.

Ratliff finally got his chance to play after sitting idle for several games, and the old guy kept rubbing his hands as he prepared to go on the court, as if he couldn't wait to score points.

The only one who didn't move was Chen Feng. Rivers let Jefferson and Perkins rest for a while, in order to guard against the Cavaliers' more fierce counterattack in the second half.

But that kid Chen Feng was fine, he rested for three to four minutes in the second quarter, and with the ten minutes of halftime, this kid was already alive and well.

Now that Ratliff is playing as cannon fodder, there must be one more scoring point inside. Between Jefferson and Chen Feng, Rivers chose the latter.

It's not that Rivers thinks that Jefferson doesn't have the ability to play inside, but that he hopes that Chen Feng can continue that kind of deterrence and viciousness.

There is such an inside fulcrum, regardless of whether it is defense or offense, now Rivers is quite supportive in his heart.

Continue to rely on a stable inside line and a combination of inside and outside to tear the opponent's confidence. This is the tactical arrangement that Rivers said to the players before going on the court.

"Just play like the first half and let them start to collapse. What we want is not only victory, but also build confidence in the strong team from this game!"

Mike Brown didn't understand why Rivers played so fiercely in the regular season. He must have thought about it. Rivers was planning to let the team get used to the feeling of playing against strong teams before the start of the playoffs. , why can't those strong teams be defeated?Are we worse than those guys?

Rivers must let these boys know clearly from the beginning of the season that he is no worse than anyone else, and that they still dare to have a fierce aura of suppressing their opponents when facing strong teams!

The temperament of a winner cannot be cultivated in a day. Never underestimate the heart of a champion, let alone Boston has more than a dozen champions. They want to recover their hearts, let alone ignore them.

It's just that the long downturn has made many people forget that this city is not so easy to conquer, and it is too difficult to make them bow their heads and admit defeat.

And when these guys want to return to the top, there will naturally be old guys like Rivers instilling in them what kind of performance an NBA champion should have!

Regardless of what the coaches of both sides were thinking about, the players still had to play the ball. After the Cavaliers came up, they still continued to attack with the little emperor. Even when facing Pierce, the little emperor did not give up the singles.

In the same position, when a new star starts to shine, it always takes the light of the stars around it, and now James is preparing to beat the Celtics leader in front of him.

In a complete confrontation of strength, when the little emperor forcibly squeezed out the shooting space, he relied on his own explosive power to force Pierce to attack.

However, Pierce is not a vegetarian. Although his physique in his prime is not as bad as James, it is still enough for him to have the capital to carry his opponents.

In the fierce physical collision, Pierce was not as stubborn as Tony Allen, but the confrontation between him and the little emperor was simpler and more direct.

With a fierce impact and a difficult backward shot, the little emperor still chose to shoot even though he couldn't get rid of Pierce's marking.

It's just that his shot passed Pierce's block this time, but he failed to get into the basket, and the arc was not so perfect and hit the backboard.

"Rebound!" Pierce and the little emperor blurted out almost at the same time, but the little emperor obviously lacked confidence.

After all, in the first two quarters of the game, the Cavaliers only had two offensive rebounds together. Now that Ilgauskas has gone down, do you still expect Gooden and Varejao to grab it?

Facts proved that the little emperor's estimation was correct, and Gooden didn't even have a chance to take off, because a pair of big hands had already caught the basketball.

Back off!This was the first thought that flashed into the little emperor's mind. It's not like he hasn't seen Chen Feng launch a fast break after catching a rebound.

But at the moment when the little emperor turned around and was about to run towards his own half, he didn't see the Celtic team members running towards his own half, but heard a crisp whistle.

"Beep!" The referee's whistle is always so harsh and loud, which makes people feel a little bored.

When the little emperor turned around to see what happened, he was dumbfounded by what he saw.

What are you doing?Is that wild boy crazy again?Because the little emperor was watching Varejao squatting on the ground holding his nose, bleeding between his fingers...

And Chen Feng was holding the basketball with both hands, frowning as he looked at Varejao squatting beside him...

Is this an accident?

(Another night shift, I cry, keep auto-updating...)
