Forward to the basket

The topic of whether the old K wants to recruit Chen Feng is still simmering outside. Rivers doesn't feel much about this news. Anyway, there are few NBA head coaches who are willing to let players participate in international competitions.

Most of those games were played during the summer rest period, which was supposed to be a time for the players to take care of their bodies, but because of international competitions, many players had to work hard, which made many head coaches dissatisfied.

After all, the team is the employer that pays your salary, and the Basketball Association will not give you a penny, but the players still have to bear the risk of being injured in the World Championships or the Olympics, and the team needs to pay for this accident. Pay the bill.

The Basketball Association will definitely not care whether your players are injured or not. As long as you enter the national team, you will not be given money when you need to contribute, and there is no accident insurance, which discourages many players.

But sometimes, this kind of thing is not something you can hide if you want to, but the Dream Team is still a bit of a special case. After all, the NBA is full of big-name players. If you want to order others, they have to be willing.

Anyway, if you are really injured during a game, the team will suffer in the end, especially a young guy like Chen Feng, who Rivers doesn't want to let him participate in those international competitions.

Originally, summer is the period of physical reserve. If he spends all his energy on the big competition, and the new season starts with a big downturn, Rivers will want to cry at that time, and he probably won't be able to find a place.

Regardless of whether it is Rondo or Pierce, including Chen Feng, Rivers will not openly oppose them entering the national team, but the premise is to ensure their own state and training during the physical reserve period.

Of course, Rivers would not give up if there was a chance to dissuade these guys. As for the news hype outside, he has no time to pay attention to it.

After all, it depends on the player's own considerations, but Rivers really has nothing to do with the blatant poaching of the old K. After all, the old guy is playing the dream team's signature.

If he forcibly stopped, there would be no good excuses, but Rivers really lacked interest in those so-called honors, and he wished that Chen Feng could reject Old K's invitation straight away.

As for the end of this matter, Rivers is not interested in exploring it. The question he needs to consider now is how to get the last game before Christmas.

Being able to win six consecutive victories is definitely a very good state for the current Celtics. If it can continue like this, it will be beneficial to the present and the future.

Moreover, the Celtics' winning streak has made them jump one place in the Eastern Conference. If they can handle the next opponent, they may even have a chance to get into the top six in the Eastern Conference.

Occupying a good position in the first half of the season may not guarantee you a smooth path to the playoffs, but in the process of wrestling with competitors, the ranking will put you in a favorable position.

In the six games before Christmas, the Celtics have won five of them, which can be regarded as completing the task set by Rivers ahead of schedule, and now every win is considered a profit.

Now Rivers just wants to lead the team to finish the away game, and then take these wild boys home for the holidays. The current Celtics are not yet qualified to compete for the Christmas game.

But this can be regarded as a kind of benefit, at least they will not play games on Christmas Day. Rivers doesn't want to try the bad feeling that others are eating Christmas dinner, but they have to drink and drink on the sidelines.

So now Rivers is waiting for the last opponent to fight, and let these wild boys go back to their respective homes and find their own mothers. His ambition is to rush to No. 6.

The Eastern Conference is in such a mess, and Rivers is still waiting for some benefits in the chaos. Now that the situation is in front of him, he can soar all the way to No.6. With such a chance, why not try it?

At least the pairing of Rivers and Thibodeau is prepared to maintain this momentum before Christmas, but the two of them are scratching their heads when they look at the opponent they will meet next.

"I'm so lucky to meet the Miami Heat before Christmas, and I'm going to play an away game." Just thinking about this problem made Rivers feel a little headache.

After all, that was last season's championship team. Rao they played a bit tepid this season, but who dares to underestimate them?Anyway, those guys have recently jumped to third place in the Eastern Conference.

And the main problem now is that Rivers is going to play away, this is not fighting on his own territory, and this time the opponent is not comparable to the Clippers.

To be able to kill the Clippers and the other four teams at home, for Rivers, firstly, he has occupied the opponent and is not familiar with the tactics after his lineup adjustment, and secondly, because this is in his own territory.

Including the game against the Bulls in the away game, Rivers felt that he played very dangerously. This is not because he is modest and cautious, but because the Celtics' current performance is indeed not stable enough.

If these guys were a little more ruthless, they would be able to bend the horns of the Bulls with ease, but if they didn't play smoothly, they would stumble even if they were playing against the Pacers.

Now they are going to Miami to challenge last year's championship. No matter how you look at it, it seems like a difficult task to complete. Don't forget, when he met the Mavericks, he lost very badly.

Those Dallas guys were just last year's runners-up, and now they're head-on to the champions, who knows what's going on, if they're not careful, they might be beaten miserably by their opponents.

When meeting such an opponent, Rivers did not dare to take it lightly. He really wanted to study the opponent's loopholes, but after watching the video of the last few games, he could only scratch his head and say, "Those guys are really tough."

No way, don't expect to have Wade, how weak Mourning's team is, not to mention that these guys still have a pinnacle in the basket, want to kill them easily?That is undoubtedly a big dream in Spring and Autumn.

The most troublesome problem for Rivers is probably not because of his hot state recently. Dwyane Wade has soared to 30+ in three consecutive games. .

The Celtics were able to kill the Clippers at home, which was also dominated by insiders, because of the tough play of the insiders. Chen Feng held down Brand, and Jefferson over there also defeated Kaman.

If these two points are not advancing strongly, it is estimated that the Clippers will not be opened up by them a little bit.

But if this advantage is placed on the Miami people, it may be a bit difficult to play. Compared with the Celtics, the inside strength of those guys may be even better.

O'Neal, with such a "big shark" sitting at the basket, do you still expect Jefferson and Chen Feng to easily fight in and out of the basket?That dominance of the paint is sure to slip.

It's not that Rivers is belittling his players, it's just that O'Neal's lethality at the basket is already a big killer in the NBA. With him, the basket is generally not for strangers.

In the past ten years that this guy has been in the arena, I don't know how many outstanding big men have become the ghost of this guy. When O'Neill is mentioned, many insiders will shudder.

At 320 pounds, [-]-foot-[-], with the brash style of calling himself Superman, wherever you put this guy, you feel the pressure he puts on you.

This is O'Neill, a terrorist who would be called a monster in a place like the NBA where there are many people.

Although this guy is getting old and doesn't have the tough deeds of smashing rebounds when he was young, but the name of the tree's shadow man and O'Neal's deterrence at the basket can still hold the scene.

At the beginning, the Heat were able to spend a lot of money to lure him from Los Angeles to Miami because of his dominance.

And this old guy is really a lieutenant. He won the championship in the second season of the Heat. Although the mvp of the finals is Wade, no one can deny the existence of O'Neal and how much defensive energy the Mavericks have involved. , without him, maybe Wade would have been trapped in the three-second zone by the mad cows.

So, the Heat with or without O'Neal are completely different styles. He may not be the one with the most points, but as long as this guy is on the court, he will make you play twelve points.

Just like Barkley said to Chen Feng, "Don't look at that guy who has evolved from a great white shark to a humpback whale, but that guy O'Neal's offensive ability at the basket can still easily destroy all opponents."

This is Barkley's evaluation of O'Neal. Of course, it is limited to confrontation at the basket. When it comes to fighting, Barkley dared to shake old punches with O'Neal, so he was naturally not afraid of the opponent.

Uh, just pretend that he is not afraid, at least that's what he said in front of Chen Feng. Of course, Chen Feng's suspicious expression also made Sir Charles very speechless.

But his evaluation of O'Neal, just like the current headache for Rivers, was right under his nose. Chen Feng was going to meet head-on, and he was also such a heavyweight opponent.

Chen Feng didn't know what O'Neal's reputation in the NBA was like in the past, but from the time he started watching NBA games, this huge hunk was already an omnipotent "Superman".

Now let me face off against such a sturdy guy at the basket, even if Chen Feng is such a cold and unscrupulous guy, he would be a little scared.

But when Rivers and Thibodeau tried to find Chen Feng and explain to him how to fight O'Neal to death, they realized that the kid was still dying on the training ground.

They all heard what Tarkanian asked Chen Feng on the sidelines of the training ground, "How about it, boy, are you afraid to meet such a big guy this time?"

As a result, Chen Feng replied, "Sun Wukong went to the west to learn scriptures and encountered the Flame Mountain. He has to pass it. I'm afraid that if he can solve the problem, then I'm afraid of one. If he can't, then I have to go over the mountain with my life." .”

For the Celtics, Miami is their seven-game winning streak.

And for Chen Feng, O'Neal's level, he will have to pass it sooner or later...

Anyway, sooner or later, it doesn't matter, so just bite the bullet, Chen Feng really doesn't want to wait until the day this old guy retires, so that he can have a chance to knock down his opponent.

Now that we have met, let me see if your sharp shark teeth can bite my stubborn bald head...
