Forward to the basket

During the summer transfer period in previous years, no matter whether there were big-name players testing the waters or not, they would basically have been lingering until the opening day of the training camp to find out, but this year, the lineup was basically finalized early.

It's just that there are two or three teams that still have no intention of trading. Most of the teams have basically built the framework for the new season. At most, it depends on how well the players can get along with each other.

Anyway, if it works well, it’s luck. If it doesn’t work well, it’s a shipwreck. The current NBA is like this. Either they reach the sky in one step, or they fall into the [-]th level of hell. The polarization is really serious.

But the running-in period of a team is always determined by the real game. Don't look at the good players in your hands. If you can't get in well, it will definitely be worse than holding a bad hand. .

Rivers is in such a mood now, others are envious and jealous, but he himself is helpless.

As predicted by the outside world, the current Celtics team's player allocation is not so bloated, but those who can stay are basically capable of fighting. Uh, in fact, there are also one or two left for soy sauce.

For example... Scalabrine, such as Eddie House, but you can't ask the Celtics to randomly select one of them to be an elite, so this season will not allow other teams to mix .

In fact, Angie is quite kind. Although the robbing of people in the transfer market is very fierce, but at least this guy didn't catch them all, and he still left a way for others to survive. Well, in fact, he is really kind.

The main reason is that Boston's boss is not so generous. If he can also bear the salary burden of [-] million US dollars per season, it is estimated that Angie really wants to fill the bench with a row of ruthless people who have the potential to make it to the All-Star.

But now the Celtics' equipment can be called luxurious, not to mention unprecedented, anyway, if someone wants to copy it later, at least they have to prepare the cash to pay the luxury tax, otherwise it will be useless.

The energy of the Celtics' small group alone is enough to make the Eastern powers envy and hate, Cassel, Rondo, Tony Allen, Ray Allen, Sprewell, Hardaway, Nova gram.

This lineup is not to say that it is scary or not, anyway, if it is thrown in front of anyone, it is estimated that the other party will feel a little nervous. The most important thing is that these guys are too practical, and they are definitely rich in experience!

Needless to say, Cassell can fight like a beast in the playoffs in his rookie season with the Rockets.

When he was in the Rockets, he won a championship. In terms of experience in this area, I am afraid that Cassell is the most abundant Celtic side. What's more, he and the Clippers even entered the Western Conference last season semifinals.

Moreover, the Bucks, the Clippers, even in a star-studded place, this guy can kill all directions with his alien face and his neither fast nor slow, but extremely precise mid-range shots.

But if you talk about a big heart, I think Cassel is definitely number one, maybe not as bad as Robert Horry, but when it comes to the critical moment, the appointment will not be soft, and it can guarantee a super hit rate.

Rivers needs such an old guy who is like a sea god, especially when the game is in a stalemate, often a precise shot can disrupt the opponent's position, and in turn can make the opponent collapse.

Well, this old guy is really easy to use, and he and Rondo are quite familiar. This is mainly because the two people's faces are really similar, and they might come from the same planet.

However, if Rondo can stay with Kassel for two more years, he will definitely benefit a lot. Even Thibodeau himself said that if it is really the turn who can teach better, maybe Kassel's actual combat experience is more suitable for passing on to other people.

Especially in the precepts and deeds in the game, this is obviously not just finding an old ruffian who can play.

It also found a guiding light for the Celtics' future point guard core. If this old guy can really stay in Boston as an assistant coach after retiring, then Thibodeau must have found the most suitable partner.

With these two guys in control of the rhythm, followed by Tony Allen, who is strong in defense, and Eddie House, who can stand up and contribute at any time on the bench, this back line is also solid.

Sprewell's old bones may have weakened his scoring ability, but his defensive strength has been increasing.

Especially in the playoffs of last season, this old guy is not afraid to meet anyone. This is because the Celtics did not pass the level of the Pistons. So relaxed?

Maybe he can't stand the stocky little emperor, but you should never think that Sprewell can't deal with that kind of muscular man. Uncle Bao actually trembled a little when he met a gangster like Sprewell.

After all, Third Uncle Bao is at most a sinner, but that old lunatic is really kicking him, how black and how did he come here!

Now the perimeter defense of the Celtics is a bit infected by this old lunatic, and they all look like desperadoes.

After the second round of the Pistons, Hamilton retired with a serious injury. Do you dare to say that it wasn't the black hands of these animals?

Even the Pistons know how dark these Boston lunatics are, can others escape?

The defense is a little needless to be melancholy now, and the old guy who picked up this ticket is quite proficient.

As for the offense, there is old "Penny" Hardaway. Maybe this guy is not as sharp as he was when he was young, but as long as he can stay healthy, it is probably not a problem to be a bench bandit or something.

Don't forget that there are Ray Allen and Novak in terms of scoring. In the past, Rivers was rather sad that the offensive firepower coverage area on the periphery was not large enough. Now there is no need to consider this issue. The three-point artillery is absolutely fierce!

Needless to say about Ray Allen, with him on the perimeter, this guy can basically cover the shooting points outside the three-point line. Anyway, this guy also has a chance to surpass Reggie Miller's record. bug!

In fact, even Novak, who was about to be abandoned by the Rockets, had a high performance last season, especially in the playoffs, the extremely precise three-pointers from the outside made the Pistons very embarrassed.

Although his breakthrough ability is mediocre, as long as the inside can suppress the opponent, Novak is still very capable of finding opportunities on the outside, and with Rondo, the ammunition delivery man, are you afraid that there will be no shooting space?

Anyway, the configuration of the back line is really luxurious enough now. Those who can shoot, shoot, and shoot from the middle distance. Pierce's all-rounder can basically be used in any position to play a role.

In addition, in addition to the three-pointer, Ray Allen is not far behind in the technique of holding the ball. Although he is not as sharp as Kobe or Iverson, at the critical moment, as long as he is given space, he can really go in.

Although this kind of partner combination may not be as popular as Iverson and Anthony, it wins in stability.

Pierce rarely has big ups and downs, and Ray Allen's stability is reflected in his shooting.

As long as you give space, give him a chance, and let him shoot, this guy really dares to throw one in. Occasionally, there will be an explosive period, that is, the moment of 40+. With this kind of scoring combination, it has to be provided for that team. stand up.

However, Rivers has not yet planned to shift his tactical focus outward. After all, you cannot defeat your opponent in the playoffs by shooting alone. Only by fighting face-to-face can you contain the opponent within a controllable range as much as possible.

Inside, this is definitely the top priority, and the advantage that can be gained from fighting inside last season is that the team can always reach the second round of the Eastern Conference. Not only will Rivers not give up on this advantage, but he will also strengthen it. !

Perhaps the Celtics have no advantage in height inside. Chen Feng is less than [-] meters tall, Perkins is also half-height and not short, and Scalabrine is so soy sauce. Only Webber and Garnett meet the standard.

Ratliff is gone, Jefferson is gone, but the Celtics have strengthened their internal strength. Their confrontation ability must be more fierce than last season. Garnett and Chen Feng, this damn, is two Livestock!

Not to mention the embarrassing thing that Garnett is always in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs, just look at the staffing of the Timberwolves that has always been half-dead. Only with Garnett can they have a chance to enter the playoffs stage .

A man who can arm-wrestle with Duncan is not so easy to be. Garnett's role in the interior is obvious to all, at least in one-on-one situations. Even Shi Buddha is a little scratching his head when he meets this man.

This time the wolf king leaves, it is estimated that the Timberwolves will definitely sink for two or three years and cannot recover. Even if the latecomers are capable, if they want to integrate the team and establish their own leadership, there must be a transitional time.

It can also be seen from this that the existence of Garnett is also the root cause of Angie's final determination to make a trade. It is really worth their gamble to have such a fierce guy in the team.

Adding Perkins, Webber, chubby Glenn Davis, James Posey, and Scalabrine and Scott Pollard on the bench, is it still possible to take out this lineup? Not thick?

The main reason is that the core is strong. Garnett and Chen Feng are the kind of inside players who are desperate to defend and brutal to attack, while Webb and Perkins play one offense and one defense, which complement each other perfectly.

Now that the Celtics are armed to the teeth, Rivers no longer has to worry about how to line up. All the guys under his hands can be brought out to fight for a while. This kind of happiness is really rare. .

Last season, Rivers had to worry about the lack of players. Even if there are three or four people watching from the sidelines this season, he can still piece together a lineup that can kill the opponent, and with it, his confidence will also increase.

It’s just that in the eyes of others, such a group of animals gathered together, uh, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a group of scumbags gathered together, the Boston scumbag group, it seems that this name still has a feeling of being worthy of the name...
