Forward to the basket

Even Phil Jackson, who has been in the NBA for so long, might not have thought that Rivers, who has just entered the league as a coach for a few years, would choose to dig such a deep hole for him in the away game.

Rivers has never been the kind of character who looks very shrewd in front of others. No matter what the situation is, this chubby guy has always given the impression that he is an under-conserved transitioner.

Especially last season, the Celtics plummeted all the way, after not even qualifying for the playoffs in the Eastern Conference.

Not only are the fans dissatisfied, but the team's performance has plummeted, and even Pierce has reported that he is leaving. Most people believe that if this season does not change, Rivers will be gone from Boston. It's getting closer, and many people may think that he won't survive this season.

Before the start of the season, the team's personnel replenishment has not been smooth. Except for Rondo and Chen Feng, the Celtics have almost no decent transfer transactions. One of the early dismissals, probably no one thinks this guy can stay in Boston.

But it's just such a guy who quietly brought the Celtics to the top six in the Eastern Conference.

Many people may say that this guy is lucky enough. Boston has drawn potential rookies like Rondo and Chen Feng, and Ainge has also opportunistically secured such strong additions as Webber and Sprewell.

Anyway, most people focus on the things that can be seen, and ignore the role of Rivers in kneading the team. They also forget a very important thing, the tactics are all arranged by the coach of.

The addition of players is only one aspect of the Celtics' recovery. There are not one or two teams that hold a handful of good cards but play extremely badly. The Knicks also have a big ticket, but the result? ?Isn't it rotten to the bone?I didn't see what kind of tricks "Smiling Assassin" Thomas could play with these good cards in his hand.

It's just that Rivers' reputation is not that great, and he has only been in the industry for a short time, so he is completely a role that is often ignored in the circle of head coaches, and few people pay attention to this low-key fat man.

"No matter how good the players are, if no one is going to pinch them, they are still a mess. If no one pays attention to this thing, then I can only say that these guys really don't understand basketball." This is one of Murphy's words. Some views.

Indeed, very few people have really noticed what this fat man who used to stand and watch the entire game in the Celtics dugout has done, but his players understand and know what this fat man thinks.

In fact, many people have overlooked one point. In the Celtics' fierce point-grabbing offensive on Christmas Eve, it was Rivers who first set the tone for the team. He used this method to completely disrupt the Eastern Conference. Due to the current situation, all the strong teams in the East have to be led by the nose by the Celtics, and many strong teams that have been involved have begun to be forced to exert their strength. Like the Heat, like the Nets, they are all given up by the Boston bandits. Mess up the plan.

But few people noticed that Rivers was doing it behind the scenes. Many people even thought that it was because of a wild guy like Chen Feng that the Celtics went crazy intermittently before Christmas. .

It's just such a fat man who has nothing to do and doesn't like to stand in front of others. He dug a big hole for the Zen master of the old Jianghu on the territory of the Los Angeles people. His adventure caused the old Jianghu to stumble.

It's a pity that Phil Jackson is still not God. He can't see everything in the world, and he can't understand why Rivers dared to make such a decision. Anyway, when he reacts, he has already fallen into that pit.

Phil Jackson is also a standard man, old-fashioned, old-fashioned and slippery. The confrontation in this match is so stalemate and difficult, it has already touched the nerves of this old guy. Now he is very clear about what the Celtics are playing here. Such an idea, but he never thought that Rivers would dare to be so bold, that guy was really a little too sinister.

That chubby, kind of simple and honest appearance is definitely extremely deceptive, even Phil Jackson was kept in the dark, he really didn't expect that he would be given such a gift by Rivers. calculated.

This trick is definitely very sinister and very dangerous. This is not for the Lakers, but for the Celtics. Rivers' tactical adjustment is definitely walking a tightrope, or walking at a height of several hundred meters. Without the kind of safety rope, once the Lakers' offense goes smoothly, it is almost impossible for the Celtics to play a comeback. Rivers is completely taking the victory as a up the stakes.

And it's still a few minutes of victory or defeat. The Celtics want to rebound from behind, but the first thing they need to take a risk is the period before the end of the second quarter. They must hold back the Lakers' footsteps.

Not only to bite the score, but also to beat the Lakers fiercely, and then make Phil Jackson not dare to replace the main players easily, so as not to collapse. This is completely a desperate gamble.

If it happens, then the Celtics will not only be able to win the opportunity to rest and adjust the main force, but also drag the main force of the Lakers on the court and even consume the opponent's physical energy more intensely.

If you lose, it will be a situation of a thousand miles, but Rivers is such a gamble. When everyone thinks he is playing with fire, the Celtics surprisingly played the most vicious game. Waves of attacking chaos.

Those animals were even more ferocious than they were at the beginning of the game. They didn't give the Lakers any chance to breathe. They attacked wildly in the first place. Although the loopholes on the defensive end were obvious, these guys just used more ferocious offenses as an excuse. Fighting back to make up for his shortcomings in defense is completely a confrontational posture.

Although the offense of the Lakers is hovering around the tenth place in the league, so far this season, no team has been able to match the Lakers so fiercely in the Staples Arena without defense. of!

It is estimated that everyone was a little stunned when they saw this scene. After all, the Celtics have replaced three main players in the starting lineup. How can they be so tough?And not only reversed the previous unfavorable situation, but also dragged the Lakers to fight them to the death, not daring to slow down the entire speed.

Now this is really the Celtics dragging the Lakers to speed up. If Phil Jackson's strategizing was in control of the rhythm before, then this frenzied rhythm is no longer under his control.

Everyone thought that after Pierce and the others were off the court, the Celtics would slow down the game as much as possible, so that the speed of each offensive and defensive transition would be a little slower, so that at least they would not be given a wave by the Lakers' fast break. Kill it, even Phil Jackson hoped that the team would play faster when he was arranging tactics on the sidelines, trying to disrupt the rotation of the Celtics, but now it's good, it's all the other way around!

As a result, such a scene never happened before, and before the Lakers started their violent start, the Celtics had already accelerated ahead of time, and their impact speed was far faster than that of the Lakers!

This is no longer the Lakers trying to speed up to disrupt the rhythm of the Celtics, but the Celtics are forcing Phil Jackson's team to run like hell, only in this way can they keep up with their impact.

Now this is no longer a question of whether the Lakers want to run, and they dare not stop running. They want to stabilize their speed and rhythm, but the bandits who can help Boston don't even plan to give them this opportunity. Once you control the ball, someone will definitely stick it up and start a fierce stealing action.

Rondo has made at least two flying steals, which made Smash Parker, who has been in charge of the ball, panicked. In fact, this guy's ball-handling ability is not weak, but he has never seen such a fierce post defense. .

The guards who can be mixed in the streets of New York all have strong ball handling skills, and Smush Parker is no exception, but he has never seen a rookie who can be more deadly than Rondo, an ordinary guy like Rondo.

That’s really as long as you are not careful and the ball is a little farther away from your body, Rondo may break it behind you, and that guy doesn’t rely on a very stable position to defend you at all, he just wants to stick to you fiercely , and then force yourself to make mistakes. This kind of defense is not very stable, but it is ruthless enough when it starts!

Most people would never attack so viciously in the second quarter, but that's what the cattle in Boston did, and they were surprisingly ruthless, as if the game was over in a few minutes!

Chen Feng's guys knew quite well that if they didn't fight harder at this time and let their opponents calm down, they would be in an embarrassing situation. Instead of fighting steadily, it's better to attack more aggressively on both ends of the offense and defense.

In fact, not only was Rondo fighting very fiercely, but the main battlefield was actually the inside fight. Kobe's impact against Tony Allen's defense never stopped, but Chen Feng's strong attack was even more resolute. Rivers delegated power to this kid, let him decide how to attack, Chen Feng really just climbed at the first shot.

In the previous games, Chen Feng didn't monopolize the shots, but in these 5 minutes, this guy almost took all the shots. Only Weber made a mid-range jumper on the weak side.

Except for Weber's jump shot, Chen Feng led most of the interior attacks.

Whether it's a charge near the three-point line, or a singles play after Webber's pass in the interior, this guy has no intention of passing the ball. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether it's Bynum or Odom. Destroying the opponent with a single heart, in 5 minutes, this guy just scored 10 points in the inside of the Lakers!

Rivers and Thibodeau clearly knew that Chen Feng had that kind of tough offensive ability, but they didn't expect that this kid was so wild that he dared to stand up to his opponent and bombard him no matter what the situation was.

Rondo played hard on the defensive end, while Chen Feng played wildly on the offensive end, especially when this kid succeeded in his fifth consecutive offense, his violent style made the entire stadium dumbfounded.

That was when Chen Feng received a pass from Tony Allen near the three-second zone. Bynum had already blocked his position at that time, but before the guy could resist with all his strength, Chen Feng suddenly turned his back and cut in.

The speed of the cut was very fast and the force was quite strong, and before exerting force, Chen Feng had a feint, which caused Bynum's center of gravity to pause due to hesitation, and as a result, this guy lost the opportunity to defend.

After the feint, there was a ferocious power-type crush, and Chen Feng stepped first to get stuck in the position.

This is definitely the thing that annoys Bynum the most. In the confrontation with Chen Feng, he will never be able to grab a favorable position. There is no way to change this reality, this time again, he wanted to trap Chen Feng, but Chen Feng got stuck behind him, the other party just used a simple feint to get rid of this tall guy with long arms!

However, Odom's retreat speed is really not slow. This guy stepped forward almost the moment Chen Feng smeared into the basket. He didn't even consider whether Chen Feng could pass the ball. He just wanted to push the opponent down. He had a fierce expression at the basket, but the guy he was facing was obviously a beast that was a little bit more fierce than himself!

Chen Feng really didn't choose to pass the ball, and Odom rushed forward very quickly, the pass might be cut off.

In this case, Chen Feng simply stopped passing. Relying on his advantage of being the first to start, Chen Feng insisted on jumping between the two of them before Odom's frontal interception and Bynum's backside defense and encirclement.

From wiping Bynum to Chen Feng's jump, it was only two steps away, but Chen Feng's shiny bald head soared into the air under the double-team of two big guys, and he grabbed the ball with both hands and smashed it hard. basket.

Chen Feng really didn't think about whether he could be held down by the opponent at all. At this moment, he could only focus on stuffing the basketball into the basket fiercely. That sturdy figure was quite violent and wild in the air.

Two people, no matter who they take out, their physique can fight Chen Feng, but in this kind of confrontation, the joint blockade of Odom and Bynum was torn apart by Chen Feng. A crack!

The trembling of the basket was like a stone thrown into the lake. The shocking ripples began to spread infinitely. The shouts of the entire Staples Arena really died down at this moment.

No one wanted to use this kind of silence to create an atmosphere for their rival, but this explosive offensive scene really stimulated everyone's heart, and even Phil Jackson frowned.

This is the attitude displayed by the Celtics, tough, vicious, and life-threatening, even if it is on someone else's territory, even if they are a rotating lineup, they still dare to see you with a bayonet!

In less than 5 minutes, five fouls caused the Lakers to make six free throws, but the score on the field was already tied by these Boston beasts!The atmosphere in the entire Staples Arena was suppressed and dull.

This is already a reality. Although it is only 5 minutes before the end of the second quarter, the main players of the Lakers who have played for more than 10 minutes in a row under this high-speed confrontation already feel that their running is a bit difficult. Isn't this Their physical fitness is not good, but this kind of high-intensity confrontation is the most brutal way to squeeze their physical fitness, and they have never had a chance to adjust, and Phil Jackson did not dare to change easily.

In fact, now that Phil Jackson realizes this, he is already a little bit on the fence. If he chooses to adjust the lineup at this time, there may not be any consequences, because the score has already been stiffened by the Celtics. The equalizer has been achieved, and the expansion of the score he envisioned has long been disrupted.

The main reason is that the Celtics rushed too fiercely. In less than 5 minutes of the game, they rushed down at one speed. Whether it was attacking or defending, the whole court was pressing and marking, and they were all done at high speed.

Do you want to stabilize?How could those beasts give you this chance, especially Chen Feng, who didn't allow Odom and Bynum to take a breather at all. His offense was all smashing like a storm.

The role of Rivers replacing Webber at this time was immediately highlighted. With this guy on the flank to support him, and he also has an accurate mid-range shot, this makes Odom defense is not good, nor is it not good.

5 minutes of strong confrontation, a score of 16:12, it is estimated that such a scene is something that no Lakers fan wants to see. My main force is playing against other people's rotation, and it is still at a disadvantage!

Who can stand this?Even Phil Jackson rarely stood on the sidelines, but the old guy started a bit late, and the entire second quarter was over with the last ten seconds left.

Although the Lakers hold the last chance to attack, even if it is successful, what can they do?The guys from the Celtics had already rested on the sidelines for five or six minutes, while the main lineup of the Lakers had been on the court with Chen Feng and those beasts for such a long time. Hold it down!

It was originally a chance to kill the opponent, but now the result is good, not only failed to kill the opponent, but was dragged on the court by the Celtics, this damn score was evened!No wonder Phil Jackson frowned on the sidelines. It is estimated that the seasoned Zen master did not expect such a result.

Kobe's offense was still extremely sharp. In front of Tony Allen, the top killer's scoring was still unstoppable, but in the last attack of the second quarter, Kobe's shot was again hollow into the basket.

But before the Lakers fans had time to applaud this quasi-lore, the Celtics actually launched another counterattack with three seconds left. Rondo's precise delivery across the half court surprised Chen Feng. When cutting to the basket at high speed, he got a chance for a backhand layup, but Bynum's defense this time is indeed a bit ruthless.

Snapped!Bynum's big slap came over fiercely, but what this guy slapped was not the basketball, but Chen Feng's hand. Such an obvious foul not only allowed Chen Feng to have two free throws, but also made Bynum Sent his fourth personal foul, although Chen Feng only made two free throws, but this made Phil Jackson not feel at all relaxed, leading the Celtics by only one point!But his main center has now fouled four times!How can he play the next game!Could it be Kwame Brown?

Even Bynum couldn't withstand Chen Feng's attack, so you still expect that softie to be able to withstand it?Phil Jackson is already thinking about it now, does his team have to deal with a situation without a center in the last two quarters?

No wonder Rivers patted Chen Feng on the shoulder and said, "So what if we let them lead by one point? We will definitely win this game. It feels like beating those guys in Los Angeles." , pretty good, you wild boys are destined to be remembered forever by these Lakers supporters."

A group of animals from Boston used their own hands during the 5-minute extreme charge to tear the confidence of the Lakers supporters fiercely and crazily. For them, these 5 minutes were the most gorgeous!

So if these guys dare to yell at each other, it doesn't matter if I give you a point!
