Forward to the basket

But compared to those fans, Rivers and Thibodeau are probably the ones who miss Chen Feng the most. They don't have the viciousness of that wild boy who kills all directions in the paint. This game is always a bit difficult.

Maybe this is a habit, especially if there is such a guy who is easy to use, once it is gone, you can't help thinking about his benefits. Rivers and Thibodeau are in this state now.

Normally, the two of them wanted to beat up that wild boy who often disobeyed orders, but now that Chen Feng was suspended, this pair of partners was the most uncomfortable partner, even more uncomfortable than the team members.

Sometimes when deploying tactics, Rivers would involuntarily yell at Chen Feng, and then the surroundings would be surrounded by awkward silence, unlike usual, when the fierce bald boy would answer loudly.

In this situation, Xie Miaomiao, who was reporting with the team, commented, "Those two guys are ancient weapons." This is really true, these two are ancient weapons, cheap!

The guy who wanted to smoke for nothing, now that he disappeared, the two of them started to be mean, and they even thought about it a little bit!

In fact, in the few games after Chen Feng's suspension, the Celtics' record was not so good. Those who should lose lost, and those who should win did not miss out. .

The distance between them and the pursuers behind them is still three wins, but there is still a little distance between them and the front runners.

However, Rivers has no complaints about the current results. At least this is much better than last season when they lost all the way and almost created the worst record in history.

The Heat were in a miserable mess. Mourning was really absent. One day after O'Neal started the suspension, this old guy who had a little problem with his kidney test also stopped completely.

Moreover, the suggestion given by the Heat team doctor is that Mourning should not be expected to return to the game for at least four weeks. This is a conservative estimate. If the treatment is not effective, it may be reimbursed this season.

The absence of O'Neal has already made Riley worry about the lawsuit. As a result, he just broke an important pillar of the inside line, and then lost another insider general, which is almost killing Riley.

The Heat's role as the defending champion was meant to be a target of public criticism. Now that there is a problem with it, there will naturally be a follower behind it who is ready to knock down Miami at any time.

Like the Pistons, Bulls and Nets, these teams were originally direct competitors of the Heat. Now that they finally have a chance, can they not take the opportunity to beat the dog in the water?

Anyway, although Riley has been strategizing for more than [-] years, he can be regarded as old and cunning, but he has only one Haslem left in his hand who can stand under the basket. Besides, Walker has only played power forward.

But it's such an unreliable idea to expect the guy who is addicted to throwing three-pointers to grab rebounds, and it turns out that Walker is really put on the inside, and he doesn't bother to jump twice.

An insider who averages less than three rebounds per game, is there a difference between using it and not using it?Rao Haslem has recently been able to grab nearly 10 rebounds per game like a chicken blood, and he can't change the situation of weak inside.

When the Pistons met the Heat, they fought endlessly in the paint. McDyess and Rasheed Wallace, these two guys ravaged Haslem without moral boundaries.

With such a fatal shortcoming in front of the opponent, don't expect them to miss the opportunity to exploit this shortcoming, not to mention how pleasant it is to get rid of the defending champion.

In this way, the Heat lost three of the five games after O'Neal's suspension, and each game had a net loss of more than 15 points, which made Riley's face uncomfortable.

The old guy's complexion in the past two weeks is probably the most gloomy in history, but this terrible complexion can't help them take down their opponents and win the victory.

Losing to the Pistons, losing to the Bulls, and then losing to the Pacers, this has not even touched the Nets, the Heat can no longer withstand the siege of those Eastern competitors.

And the rivals in the East are tough enough, but the Heat will have to collide with the top players in the West in the next month. Now Riley may be thinking about the consequences of losing streak.

The Heat, which managed to climb to the third place in the Eastern Conference, has now dropped to fourth place. Looking at the momentum, they are likely to continue to decline. Even if O'Neal returns from the suspension, this ranking will not be easy to fight.

Compared with the miserable situation of the Heat, the situation of the Celtics is better. Although they don't have the terrifying lethality of Chen Feng inside, they still have Jefferson and Perkins.

The inside defense built by Rivers is still there, and after more than 20 games of honing Jefferson's singles ability, he can also release enough firepower to support the team.

In addition, there is Pierce, who has resumed his peak state. In the last five games, this guy has averaged 28 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists per game, and his shooting efficiency is at a new high in recent years.

And beside Pierce and Jefferson, there is Sprewell, an old guy who has been holding back for more than a year, and Rondo, who is getting more and more accurate assists, even Szczerbiak has returned to his true qualities as a shooter.

In their game against the Grizzlies alone, Szczerbiak scored six three-pointers. The Celtics relied on offensive firepower to overwhelm the Memphis Grizzlies.

However, Rivers still misses the days when Chen Feng was in the paint. Recently, they played six games and won three of them. Moreover, the points in these three games were all over [-].

However, although the team's defense has Jefferson and Perkins as the two gates of the inside line, without Chen Feng's vigorous slap, the opponent always has less scruples when attacking the basket.

Just like the game against the Grizzlies, they won and scored 128 points in four quarters alone, but what Rivers saw was not just this beautiful score.

The Celtics scored 128 points, but at the same time they lost 119 points, especially in the interior defense. Mike Miller and Gasol both scored 29 points, which made Thibodeau very annoyed.

In fact, this problem is not only in this game against the Grizzlies. When the Celtics met the Magic, they once watched Dwight Howard score 18 points, 12 rebounds and 5 blocks. data.

Even when he hit the New York Knicks, Eddie Curry had a chance to get a double-double. This kind of situation happened one after another, so don't blame Thibodeau for being a little restless.

"Inside, inside, our inside! It's almost become the opponent's main attack direction!" It's rare for Thibodeau to get so angry, but it's no wonder this boring gourd is so manic.

With Chen Feng around, the Celtics' inside line is like a penalty area. Whoever dares to come in, even if he can't slap your shot, that kid can slap him again.

Perkins' defense was good, and he was conscientious enough, but Er Fatty's deterrence was obviously very different from Chen Feng's. Perkins might be very desperate, but he was not wild enough.

This is the kind of court temperament that Thibodeau was talking about. That kid Chen Feng is really tough, and he has a fearless temperament. He is really wild.

When Rivers and Thibodeau chatted privately, they said that if Chief Joe was still playing at this time, if he encountered Chen Feng when he broke through inside, that kid would probably slap him.

That was a wild boy who had never been terrified when he saw Auerbach, so in his mind, there was no sense of fear at all, and there was only a wildness that made his opponent a headache.

So now Rivers misses Chen Feng so much, he even hopes that time can speed up, even if it's a waste of life, it's better than not seeing that bald boy.

Although there are always unsatisfactory places in the game, the Celtics still maintain their top eight position in the Eastern Conference. At least they have not encountered the tragic schedule and bad luck of the Heat.

And with Chris Webber's return from injury, the number of cards Rivers can use is gradually increasing. It may be that there is one less exciting guy, but the Celtics' pace of plundering victory has not stopped.

"Before the start of the All-Star Game, I hope everyone can persevere, we will not fall behind, please remember this, and I guarantee that entering the threshold of the playoffs is only our first step!"

When Rivers spoke to the players, he said categorically. Not only did he say that, but he also did it. Now he is driving the Celtics' reloaded chariot to compete with competitors for time.

"I hope that kid can stay in shape, otherwise I will definitely kick his ass." Rivers knew that Chen Feng slipped to Las Vegas to ensure the quality of training, so he did not raise any objections, but he also He had already made up his mind, if Chen Feng didn't play well after returning to the team, he would still have to be left on the bench.

Chen Feng didn't know that the team's head coach and assistant coaches were thinking about him. He was standing with his hips on his hips in the basketball hall of the Las Vegas branch, watching the training subjects while wiping the sweat off his face.

In fact, it's okay if you don't watch it. After watching it, Chen Feng felt a little like dying, because he suddenly realized that it seemed like a wrong decision to come to Las Vegas with Tarkanian.

The last special training almost exhausted him, but this time, looking at the training subjects, it seems that he is even more outrageous!

"Old man, I didn't choose this place to go to college! Why are you so badass? Damn! 2000 spot-up shots a day! The one who returned him has five points to shoot! You can kill me!"

"I'll go! There are still 16 sets of back and forth running! What a horse! There are still five kilometers every morning! You are trying to squeeze me dry! You old man! Hey! Handcuff! You still have a lock! Your uncle! "

At this moment, there was only one person's roar echoing in the basketball gymnasium. Of course, no matter how happy Chen Feng scolded, no one would be an audience...

For this kind of non-human training, Tarkanian never needed to consider any physical limits.

Since it's an animal, there must be a way to train it... This is Las Vegas hell, and when that kid crawls out of here, it's only going to get tougher...
