Forward to the basket

The powerhouses in the East are all looking forward to some team that can do a good job and take over the Celtics.

Otherwise, let them go on like this, it is estimated that there is no need to wait for the playoffs. Before the end of the regular season, these top eight teams in the East will have to be broken up by them.

Although many teams in the Eastern Conference are looking forward to someone who can stand up and clean up the recently crazy Celtics, but no one is quite like this early bird. After all, you really need a little courage to face those lunatics.

Not everyone can be as tolerant as the guys from the Celtics. If you want to stop them, you really can't do it with a word, unless you are like them and dare to fight from the first minute. Life.

There are quite a few teams that can work hard. As long as these players are dawdling in the NBA, no one is crazy yet, but if your entire team can maintain a crazy state, it's really not that easy to find.

Among the teams that can enter the quarter-finals in the Eastern Conference, no one is fighting with the Celtics as soon as their heads are hot. The teams in front want to preserve their strength, so that they can make a big splash in the playoffs.

As for the chasing soldiers behind, there is a little gap in strength between the Celtics, but if they go crazy, you don't have to think about overthrowing their opponents, unless you have the patience to wait for them to make mistakes.

But with the pair of Rivers and Thibodeau staring at the side, the desire of those wild boys to win is not a little bit strong. No one dares to say that their team can suppress the fierce impact of the Celtics. .

Anyway, the eastern part was completely messed up by the Celtics' chaotic rush. The only one who can profit from the chaos is the Celtics themselves. When they go crazy and take advantage of it But they have never been soft-hearted. The five-game winning streak is obviously not their bottom line. They are still crazily attacking every opponent they encounter. Anyway, Rivers just said that it is okay to lose, but they will never lose the game in a daze. .

After killing the first five unlucky ghosts, this group of guys didn't stop. Now their state is really a bit of a god-blocked killing Buddha. The Indiana Pacers were beaten up as soon as they reached Boston.

Now the Celtics' home court is like a slaughterhouse, but anyone who dares to kill them, no matter who you are the leader of the Eastern Conference or the best record in the league, as long as you dare to come, they will dare to kill you!

The Mavericks have suffered here, the Pistons have just stumbled here, the Suns, the Hornets, the teams that can actually reach the top ten in the league, have hit a wall here in Boston, and there are quite a few.

So the teams in the league are saying, "The North Shore Garden Arena is definitely my least favorite place to go."

And this is definitely the schedule that Rick Carlisle doesn't want to face the most. He has encountered the Bulls and the Heat in succession, and now he has to play away games in Boston, which really makes people feel very irritated.

Originally, without a spiritual leader like Miller this season, the Pacers' competitiveness in the Eastern Conference has been declining, and O'Neal, the successor, has no way to be a qualified leader.

Although Jermaine O'Neal is also an All-Star player, it's just that in this team with extremely serious traces of Miller, it is impossible for anyone to replace that tough guy. Not now, and it will be difficult in the future.

It’s not that Rick Carlisle didn’t work hard, but the injuries of the players, the disorganization of the personnel, and the lack of morale. Anyway, when these things accumulate together, there will be an explosion. Even if you are a god, you can’t do anything.

So now the Pacers are in such an unembarrassing situation. They haven't slipped to the bottom of the Eastern Conference, but they can only rush to the No. [-] position. It is very difficult to go up.

Originally, he had hoped that there would be a buffer period after the All-Star Game, and he would use the opportunity of returning to the team with his own injuries to work hard. No matter how he said it, Rick Carlisle also wanted to lead the team to the playoffs again.

As a result, this damn schedule gave the Pacers a fatal blow after the All-Star Game. When they encountered the Bulls and the Heat, they were all defeated by their opponents at home, with no chance at all.

This is the gap, no matter what you say, there is this gap between the Pacers and the top teams in the East, especially after the old Miller retired, this gap has become increasingly obvious.

In the past, they still had a hard bone that could help the team stabilize the morale of the army, but now they don't even have this bone.

In the post-Miller era mentioned by the outside world, although it cannot be denied, you want to turn a new page after all, but this goal is indeed not the slightest difficulty for Rick Carlisle.

Just counting on Jermaine O’Neal to carry the team forward, it’s unreliable no matter how you look at it. After all, that guy has never been a qualified leader. He used to stand by Miller’s side, but now let him shoulder everyone’s expectations. It is indeed a bit difficult for this guy, the road to rebuilding the Pacers seems to take a long time.

But Rick Carlisle has to lead the team forward no matter what, even if there is only a little chance.

His goal has always been the playoffs, but it's really bad to meet the Celtics head-on at this time.

Everyone knows that gang of bandits are in high spirits right now, no matter who you are, they dare to overthrow you to the ground.

Moreover, this is still on the territory of Boston. I guess anyone knows just how terrifying the home atmosphere is here. Even Rick Carlisle himself didn't have the extravagant hope to get out of here unscathed.

The whole process of the game also proved Rick Carlisle's thoughts. Those Boston animals really didn't leave a single chance for the Pacers. They launched a crazy impact from the first second of the game.

Jamal Dinsley, El Harrington, Danny Granger, O'Neal Jr., Stephen Jackson, the main lineup that the Pacers can produce is actually not weak, and even a little tough .

In fact, the Pacers' team is still good, but their competitiveness is becoming slack with the disappearance of their spiritual leaders. Regarding this, Rick Carlisle has nothing to do.

In the first quarter, the Pacers really withstood the impact of the Celtics. At the end of the first quarter, the Bostonians only led by two points 27:25, and just watching the confrontation on the field However, the Pacers are not in a disadvantaged state, but Rick Carlisle has never relieved the pressure in his heart.

Because he knew that this was not the Celtics' most vicious offensive. In the first quarter, Rivers' starting lineup only included Rondo, Pierce, Jefferson, Perkins and Szczerbiak. .

The guy who looks like a powder keg hasn't played yet. Similarly, Sprewell is also rubbing his hands on the bench. Rick Carlisle will never be naive to think that Rivers will keep them.

In fact, Rivers changed the lineup to allow the guys under him to play more personnel. This guy just wanted to run in with the bandits in his hands. He really didn't hold the mentality of letting go.

He was doing this in the previous games. For the playoffs, if you only have one lineup that is tough enough to make it to the end in that kind of game, this can be regarded as a backhand for preparation.

Therefore, as soon as the second quarter came up, Rivers decisively let Jefferson and Chen Feng's inside partners reappear, and Sprewell also replaced Szczerbiak, Pierce and Rondo continued to stick to their posts.

It's not that Rivers is denying his tactical arrangements, but he doesn't intend to let Rick Carlisle's team have a good life at his doorstep.

A rush, uh, and then really rush down, the Pacers' lineup actually hasn't changed much from the first quarter, but their opponents have become more ferocious.

Especially Jr. O'Neal clearly felt the ruthlessness of that little lunatic, and his inside defensive pressure instantly increased by a level, or even more.

Originally, O'Neal was a little disdainful of the guy who squeezed him out of the All-Star Game, but after this fight, he understood why those reporters would chase such a guy and write articles.

Nima, dare to be more cruel?Little O'Neill really wants to ask the animal who competes with him, this is a regular season for your sister!Do you have to act like I killed your whole family?Your uncle!

But it is absolutely useless to slander whether Chen Feng is an animal or not. No matter whether O'Neill is willing to meet such a fierce guy or not, he has to stand upright under the basket and raise his hands to try to block the impact.

Chen Feng has always been very hungry for arm wrestling with this kind of all-star big guy, so as soon as Rivers was about to make a substitution, Chen Feng rushed onto the court in a hurry. He really needed such a confrontation.

How depressed O'Neal was, Chen Feng definitely didn't know, all he had to do was to release the anger that had been accumulated for more than a month in the game.

Five games haven't weakened his madness. You can imagine what kind of trouble this guy has been tossed by Tarkanian. No matter who the opponent is, he will probably suffer.

In the second quarter, the Celtics beat the Pacers 30:19 in a single quarter as proof.

Originally, the difference was only two points, but at the end of the second quarter, the gap had widened to 13 points, and judging by the spirits of the players on both sides, this was definitely not the end.

Rick Carlisle didn't know that he had already called a timeout several times, but his shouts and personnel adjustments trying to restore the morale of the players had no effect, and even the mentality of the players was falling into a slump.

The lunatics of the Celtics are fierce and irresistible, and they seem to be able to destroy the resistance of many people, especially when the kind of sturdy offense starts to bombard your head.

The 15 minutes of the halftime break is not enough for Rick Carlisle to revive the team, not to mention that this is the Celtics' home court, and the crazy shouts of those fans are enough to annoy these foreign visitors.

"Hey, you are here to win! We are the Celtics, an unbeatable championship team!"

This kind of shouting never stopped, even when the first quarter was stalemate, those diehard Boston fans believed that this was just a temporary phenomenon, and the victory would definitely belong to them in the end!

The Pacers players didn't like the cheers, but they couldn't change anything, whether it was the disadvantage on the field or the final score.

Although the final score was only 103:91, the Celtics only won by 12 points, but they were on the bench throughout the fourth quarter. If the Pacers hadn't taken this opportunity to regain a little gap, they still don't know the score It will be much worse at the end, but no one may really like this way of saving face.

However, the Pacers have suffered, but many Eastern teams can breathe a sigh of relief, because the Boston bandits who have ravaged six games can temporarily leave their sight for a while.

There are three away games in the west waiting for those lunatics. I hope that the monsters that no one in the east can subdue can be suppressed in the west. Otherwise, no one can really suppress these guys.

And this group of Bostonians will meet head-on at the first stop in the west, but their old enemies...

(It’s okay to miss one day this month, but I updated 16 words, which is a bit small. I will work hard next month... Well, I am optimistic about this Champions League. Wow, Real Madrid and Manchester City, Ajax and Dortmund collided It’s so exciting to be together!!!)
