Forward to the basket

Counting the game that killed the Grizzlies, Rivers has led the Celtics to win five consecutive victories. In the face of such a ferocious counterattack, no one probably remembers that not long ago, they were still fighting against each other. lose.

Just two weeks ago, the media was talking about the Celtics. Their so-called recovery has stalled a few more losing streaks, and what awaits them may be another sinking.

According to those guys, the Celtics have become a habit of losing games. Although they can get a few good victories at the beginning of the season, once they enter the rhythm of the regular season, they will gradually fall behind.

Just like the beginning of last season, with Pierce around, they can win a few games, but once the core is injured, they will start a losing streak. Chen Feng's absence has caused their losing streak, which is no different.

Although Chen Feng has been mentioned as an important target this time, the media are still not optimistic about what kind of qualitative changes such a big man can bring to Boston in his rookie season.

"It's still a world of swinging forwards and guards." I don't know which media said this, but he is obviously representative, and you can see it by looking at the ranking of rookies.

Except for a big guy like Chen Feng, Rondo and Roy are all small guys. This is not a draft year, so except for a guy like Chen Feng, the front guards are still in the ruling class.

Moreover, when Rivers let Chen Feng watch from the sidelines, many people were wondering what kind of storm this fierce bald boy could cause in Boston, or would he slowly fade away?

Anyway, those guys dare to assert that Boston's fate may still hover around the top ten in the Eastern Conference this season. If you want to make the playoffs, you have to rely on luck or large-scale transactions to achieve this goal.

But they probably didn't expect that in such a short two weeks, the deal they said appeared, and then the Celtics' winning streak was like a slap in the face, and they couldn't even find North.

Who would have thought that Angie would strike so quickly, who would have thought that two old guys and one rookie would be able to supplement Rivers' team?No one could have imagined that Chen Feng would come back from the bench with such ferocity.

Anyway, the Celtics played an unexpected explosion, and the winning streak of this group of animals seemed a bit difficult to contain. At least the five teams that were killed in front were all unable to do it.

Especially the New Jersey Nets, no one could have imagined that they would lose so simply on the road. The Celtics defeated the leader of the Atlantic Division in just three quarters.

This is one of the NBA's principles. No matter how many games you lose, as long as you can reach the top in the finals, then you are the winner. It is the same in the regular season. If you can win consecutively, you are the winner. strong.

The Celtics' winning streak is indeed very fast, which makes many people look sideways. After all, no one would have thought that the Bostonians, who were supposed to be in the running-in period, would suddenly take the lead at this time.

Even the Nets now feel that their good days in the Atlantic Division are coming to an end. Although Frank left Boston, he still vowed that losing a game is not the end.

But now it is estimated that even he himself has already felt the crisis, otherwise he would not have just returned to New Jersey, and he would have heard rumors that Frank strongly requested to increase the team's internal strength.

It is estimated that this guy negotiated with the management because he was too depressed in this game.

However, with the current salary structure of the Nets, it is definitely impossible to have any big deals. Unless they plan to add a big contract like Carter or Kidd, otherwise it can only be a fine-tuning.

As for how much this kind of fine-tuning can play, it depends on whether the general manager of the Nets has the luck of Angie. After all, there are not many players like Sprewell who can be used when they are taken out.

Whether the Nets will become stronger in the future, Rivers has never worried about this. This guy has a plan now, how can the team gain a firm foothold in the Atlantic Division and then hit the playoffs!

This is the bottom line of the Celtics. Before the start of the season, Rivers had already made up his mind. If he couldn't bring the team out of the trough this season, then he, the head coach, would leave without being pushed out by others.

But looking at the team's results now, the danger of getting out is gone, but Rivers' mind is also a little active, anyway, it's already done like this, why not take a step closer?

He didn't even make it to the playoffs last season, so this season he just made it to the playoffs?At least in Rivers' heart, he has begun to want to aim for the second round.

Especially after killing the Nets, everything is possible in such a chaotic situation in the Eastern District, so no matter who it is, they will have their own small nines in their hearts, and Rivers is no exception.

Five consecutive victories have already been won, and a big-hearted guy like Rivers will plot more. This is human nature, and he will always appear a little greedy. No one thinks too much of victory.

In the six games before Christmas, the Celtics have won four games, and they still haven't played one home game and one away game. Rivers' idea now is also very simple, at least to ensure that the home game can be defended.

In addition, now Rivers has to vaccinate the gang of small animals under him. The recent winning streak has made these boys feel a little bit flustered, and he has to beat these little guys in time.

Especially that kid Chen Feng, after killing the Nets, he actually dragged the entire team away, and rushed to the wine to celebrate the victory, which made Rivers very sad.

What tricks can a bunch of bald boys do?Facts have proved that once this group of sturdy guys drink too much, they will definitely cause a lot of trouble, such as that cold and unscrupulous wild boy Chen Feng.

Even Pierce, who had been stabbed more than a dozen times in alcohol and almost died that day, was dragged by these guys. He also drank too much, and these guys even planned to drive away after drinking too much!

It was also thanks to the fact that Tarkanian and Hammond were passing by, otherwise this would have become a big deal, especially that kid Chen Feng, who even drove his own heavy-duty truck on purpose.

It was only because Tarkanian pulled the little brat's ears that there was no major problem, but after these guys came back, Rivers and Thibodeau used an intensive training to clean them up.

Such an episode came out, which can be regarded as a wake-up call for Rivers. The gang of boys under him can cause headaches for opponents when they are wild, but the vigor of not obeying the rules also makes him a little unbearable.

Fortunately, Pierce is a good example. In addition, Chen Feng is also watched by Tarkanian, so he can't turn the world around for the time being, not to mention that there is a hidden boss Auerbach in Boston.

With these two giant Buddhas around, the sideline news on the Celtics side was a little bit of a mess, not to mention that a big-name reporter like Murphy didn't pay much attention to it.

There is no shortage of off-court news about NBA players, so why not have a drink?Is there a group of girls with you?Question, are you accompanied by a group of naked girls?Isn't this even news?

You see, when Rodman went to the nightclub, didn't he hug a dozen or so strippers, and just these wild boys went out for a drink, was it worth the fuss?Do you have time to report for something else?

The main reason is that Murphy already knows Chen Feng a little bit now, and expecting him to make no mistakes and play in a proper manner is just a dream. That kid's playing on the court is a very pure wild way.

Uh, he is like this even when there are referees on the court, so don't expect him to calm down off the court, but fortunately, he hasn't had any scandals, at least Murphy hasn't heard any rumors yet.

But now the media in Boston are all staring at Chen Feng. If there is any disturbance, he probably would have difficulty covering it up. No way, who made this guy the focus of this city now.

There was such an incident halfway, but it didn't delay Rivers' preparations. At least before Christmas, he needed the players to maintain a strong momentum. At this time, there is nothing wrong with winning more games.

And now the opponents facing the Celtics came all the way from the West. Even though they were fighting at home, Rivers had to cheer up, otherwise he would be knocked to the ground by his opponents if he was not careful.

What's more, the opponents who went to Boston this time are not so easy to deal with. The situation of the weak in the east and the strong in the west cannot be reversed for the time being. Even if O'Neal travels east to Miami, it will not change the disadvantage of the east.

They were able to break into the Western Conference semifinals last season. This is definitely a strong opponent. At least Rivers is a little vigilant. He doesn't want to interrupt this winning streak so easily.

The Los Angeles Clippers, these guys are carrying the prestige of two consecutive away games and heading towards Boston. As the coach of the team, the old Dunleavy has no intention of leaving with failure.

Although the current record of the Clippers is not as fierce as last season, how can a team that can break into the Western Conference semifinals be easy to deal with, not to mention the recent record of these guys is also very tough.

Due to injuries at the beginning of the season, the old Dunleavy's team's performance was often ups and downs, but since Elton Brand returned from injury, they, like the Celtics, set off a wave of winning streak.

With four wins and two losses at home and three wins and one loss away, it is not easy to achieve such a strong result in the West, especially in this trip to the East, where the Clippers defeated the Magic and Wizards one after another.

With such a ferocious momentum, Rivers has to play [-] points, otherwise, even if he is playing at home, he will stumble, not to mention these guys from Los Angeles are indeed very strong.

However, this game between the Celtics and the Clippers was unexpectedly a bit eye-catching. This is not because the two teams have been in a hot state recently, but because a guy with a bigger name has come .

Mike Susesky, known as the old K coach, this famous ncaa coach who has been in Duke for more than 20 years, this time he was dragged down by the American Dream Team. His current title, except that he is still Duke In addition to being the head coach of Ke University, he has to be crowned with another title, that is, the head coach of the American Dream Team.

With such a dazzling name, it is not so easy to dawdle. NCAA can allow you to fail for a year, two years, or even a long time, but leading the dream team, as long as you do not play well in one game, you will be scolded.

The Dream Team is the signature of American basketball, and it is not so easy for anyone to be the head of the team.

Old K is no exception, he can also feel the weight of the burden on his shoulders, so aside from the coaching task of Duke University, he has to go around to observe the status of the stars who need to be selected into the team.

The Dream Team has been knocked down several times in a row. If they are defeated again in the World Championships or the Olympics, the Americans will not be able to bear it. Anyway, this is also called the Dream Team!

Superstars like Kobe and James, who are always noticed wherever they go, always give old Coach K face. Since the day he took office, these guys who usually don't make the Dream Team have all changed their minds.

"We will obey the coach's call." You have to say that Old K's popularity in NCAA is really good, so he was selected as the leading coach of the dream team so logically.

As for recruiting into the dream team, in addition to looking at the willingness of the players, veteran coaches like Old K, who are used to selecting players with their own eyes, also need to see who meets their requirements.

And the Clippers star Elton Brand is naturally one of them, not only because he has the ability to be selected for the dream team, but also because this guy himself was forged by the old K coach.

Going to Boston to take a look at Brand's recent performance, this is also an investigation for the old K.

In fact, Rivers didn't have much feeling for Old K to come to the scene. After all, there is no necessary connection between the Dream Team and the Celtics. Players like Pierce may not be called into the team.

As for Rondo, even Rivers thinks he is not qualified, especially with Paul and Kobe around, it is obviously not Rondo's turn to join in the fun.

But whether the old K is still staring at others, Firth is a little uncertain here, although the old K said he just came to see it casually, but Thibodeau feels that this guy is not here for that kid Chen Feng?

No one can tell whether it is true or not, but it is very rare for old K to visit, and it is very rare for someone to be there before the start of the game.who is it?Uh, if Old K sees him, he will definitely have an unbearable memory.

The one who can make old K so miserable is probably the No. 30 person in Boston, that is the old-fashioned Tarkanian, the "shark" who led the team to slaughter the Blue Devils Duke by [-] points in the ncaa finals.

"Does it need to be so strange? I just came to see an old friend." When Tarkanian said this, let alone Rivers, just look at Chen Feng's eyes, you should know that this is absolutely true. It's an excuse.

old friend?Chen Feng said in his heart at the time, "If you were an old friend of Old K, you wouldn't have rushed over so early, but you didn't show up. If this old guy can think so easily, then he is not Old Jerry."

Indeed, Tarkanian and Old K have been rivals or friends since the ncaa era?This kind of beautiful vocabulary will never be born between the two of them. From the first day they met, they have been hostile. On the basketball court, there will be no draw, so there is no friendship between them.

One is a well-known brand coach from a regular university. He was able to enter the Hall of Fame in 2001. He was elected the best coach in the country 12 times and led Duke University to win more than 800 games. In addition, he only lost less than 300 games.

To be exaggerated, this guy is almost the basketball ruler of Duke University for nearly 30 years. There are a lot of NBA players born under this guy, and the No. [-] pick like Brand is one of them.

This is completely a benchmark figure. Kobe's big-name stars can obey the command of such a coach, which can explain his ability from another aspect.

Old K can be said to be a representative figure of orthodox basketball. Various tactics have been brought to the extreme in his hands. Even if there is no superstar in hand, this old guy can knead the team into a whole.

Tarkanian is just the opposite. The team he commands doesn't have so many rules and regulations. This old guy is more used to releasing the players' nature. On the court, he allows the players to play as they please.

Therefore, the players brought out by Tarkanian are full of fierce aggressiveness. Maybe their tactical execution ability is not the best, but no one dares to deny that the team brought out by Tarkanian is the sharpest.

Just like the team name of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, the rebels, Tarkanian and the old K are compared together, they are a defender and a rebel.

Compared with the old K's successful qualifications, Tarkanian seems to be a lot worse now, although in terms of record, Tarkanian was already one position ahead of his opponent 15 years ago.

But the memory that Tarkanian left for ncaa, apart from his tough rebels, is an image of being fired. Some people even still say that this old guy and the Las Vegas gambler Together, he used all kinds of illegal means to contact players, and then brought them to Nevada.

There isn't a single college or coach that hasn't personally approached or seduced some of the best players in high school, and it's just that some people choose to forget certain things.

In addition, Tarkanian's ruthlessness in daring to go to court with the NCAA Alliance is not unique to everyone, but the price of this kind of behavior is indeed heavy.

This is the impression that Tarkanian gives people. Even if his achievements are enough to make him into the Hall of Fame, there are always people trying to discredit these brilliant records left by this old guy.

As for who is right and who is wrong, no one may be able to tell right now, but today, Tarkanian wants to sit quietly on the sidelines and see with his own eyes whether the beast he brought out with his own hands can defeat Old K's favorite student.

Just like the identities of old K and Tarkanian, Brand is a gilded orthodox Duke University, while Chen Feng is a wild boy picked up by the old fox from the street.

When the orthodoxy collided with Yeluzi, Tarkanian wanted to see if he could still defeat that high-ranking famous brand coach after so many years...
