Forward to the basket

The outside world's speculation is actually not without reason. Although Chen Feng's playing time is not too much, compared with the data of last season, his scoring is indeed compared with the data of last season. In the same time period, he lost nearly 4 points and shot 3 times less.

More often than not, this kid doesn't take root in the interior as before, but roams around more.

Therefore, the number of shots Chen Feng made under the basket dropped sharply, but the frontal assault was indeed still very ferocious.

However, the farther away from the basket, the lower the success rate of the attack. This is a truth that everyone understands. Chen Feng's offense is no exception. Although his mid-range shooting is much more accurate than last season, but that This kind of extremely aggressive offense at the basket is far from being able to make up for with a few mid-range shots, and the efficiency is naturally not high.

It's just that in terms of rebounding, Chen Feng's stats have increased significantly, and he even added one block. In terms of follow-up defense and pick-and-roll cuts, he seems to be much more professional than last season.

Especially in the supplementary defense after the pick-and-roll, often his lateral interception ability can force the opponent to cut into the inside line immediately after the pick-and-roll is successful, and then directly threaten the basket.

After a few games, all the little guys who tried to cut into the basket to cause trouble were intercepted several times by a big guy like Chen Feng. The bald man who came out of the horizontal stab was not the slightest deterrent.

Only when you are knocked into the air by this guy once can you understand how powerful and lethal it is.

Anyway, those who have tried it once will never want to have that painful experience again. This kind of defensive strength is even more ruthless than those old guys in Kassel. It is really a fatal consequence of directly shooting you away.

For those professionals, this means that a person's technical and tactical awareness is taking shape, especially in the selection of filling and blocking positions, which can cause trouble for the opponent's breakthrough and benefit the entire defensive formation.

But the fans wanted to see Chen Feng's slam dunks and violent impacts more. For them, those things were their enjoyment, even though the Celtics had never been that kind of showtime performance team.

But there are still more people who like to see the team bursting out with dazzling passion, especially that kid Chen Feng.

With him, the team can play hotly, and with him, the atmosphere of the entire North Shore Garden Arena can be bursting!

However, Rivers doesn't seem to plan to give Chen Feng any special privileges in the interior recently, how to play, how to play, and Garnett will obviously make more shots, attacking at the basket, also using "Wolf King" as the main firepower.

Because of this, Chen Feng's scoring data is a bit unremarkable, and even Weber can easily surpass him.

The only thing he can do recently is probably the rebounds. Whether it is offensive rebounds or defensive rebounds, this kid is like covering the sky with one hand. Whoever dares to grab him is completely courting death.

In the game against the Nets, Chen Feng grabbed six offensive rebounds abruptly under the attack of Kidd and Jefferson, and all of them were converted into points. People are surprised.

But compared to last season's crazy energy in the regular season and playoffs, now Chen Feng can be regarded as silent, even in Boston's home court, he rarely showed that kind of violent impact.

Most of the time, Garnett and Pierce lead the offense, while Chen Feng still stands under the basket most of the time, blocking opponents from cutting to the basket, which caused his average number of fouls per game to skyrocket.

Everyone, including Murphy, was wondering if this kid obeyed Rivers' arrangement and began to cover Garnett's main attack, and then he spent more time protecting the penalty area and performing Jefferson's original duties.

Last season, Jefferson spent most of his time as a screener, while Chen Feng was an assaulter. After the fat guy left, it was now Garnett's turn to partner with Chen Feng in the interior. Is this the division of labor?

It wasn't just Murphy who had such doubts. In fact, Xie Miaomiao, as a full-time reporter who personally reported on Chen Feng, was also a little uncertain whether this was arranged by Rivers or because of Garnett's arrival.

In fact, many media reporters are waiting for the Celtics to break out some conflicts. The battle for positions between new and old players must be the highlight. It is unknown how many of the main players from last season can keep their starting positions.

According to Rivers' previous tactical adjustments, everyone is a little confused, mainly new aid?Or is it mainly based on the old team?In the first few games of the preseason, there is still no general idea.

But many people prefer the former. After all, Garnett and Ray Allen's performance in the preseason was very eye-catching, and the personal abilities of these two old guys are not to be picked, and they can completely serve as the main offensive task.

Especially Garnett's offensive firepower in the interior. Although many Celtics fans still miss Jefferson's fat man, Garnett has been very strong in offense as soon as he joined the team.

This guy has a very fiery temper. Once he succeeds in attacking on the court, his appearance of shouting up to the sky can ignite the entire team, and it can even be said to drive the entire court.

This kind of passionate and wild attack is something that Jefferson does not have. Now, no one would say that this deal is risky. Exchange a potential stock for such a blue-chip stock, and it will definitely make a profit without losing money.

And Garnett himself is very eager for honor. He accepted the condition of the transaction, that is, because he can be closer to the championship in Boston. For this goal, this guy will not pretend to be a big name on the court.

In the first few games of the preseason, Garnett played the hardest, scoring, rebounding, supplementary defense, and even averaging nearly two steals per game. He can be regarded as showing his all-around skills.

Now many people tend to be newcomers as the main core of the starting lineup, probably because of Garnett's hot performance, and Rivers did give him enough room to show, which is undoubtedly a signal.

There aren't too many big men in the paint, but Garnett is the center in the paint, and Chen Feng, Perkins, these sturdy big guys can completely resist most of the paint combinations.

Garnett is flexible enough inside and has a wide enough offensive range. He has played in the NBA for many years and has a unique skill in rebounding and scoring. This kind of experience advantage makes it difficult to ignore his presence.

Therefore, most people prefer the mode of having Garnett as the main attacker in the paint and Chen Feng as the auxiliary vehicle. Although the bald wild boy is very fierce, he is still a sophomore in the NBA.

He has not yet reached the level of Garnett's achievements in the NBA. If he is allowed to attack and Garnett is his deputy, this is a surprising scene. It is estimated that Rivers will not make such a stupid decision.

Coupled with the fact that Chen Feng's statistics have been mediocre and without bright spots recently, many people have already confirmed this view, and this choice seems to be the safest.

Regardless of whether Rivers wants to enter the finals or be the leader in the Eastern Conference, finding the most secure lineup and style of play will always be his primary problem to solve. Now it seems that he has already touched the threshold.

While reporters and commentators envy the Celtics' good luck, they are also paying attention to what kind of pressure these guys will bring to other teams during the regular season.

However, other people's plans do not represent Rivers' thoughts, and the madness of the preseason may not continue to the regular season, but this guy really doesn't want to reply to the speculation from the outside world.

After all, this is a problem for the Celtics and has nothing to do with reporters. How to choose tactics is also Rivers’ consideration and idea. Si isn't naive enough to discuss the team's tactical issues with others. That's the secret of the Celtics' new season. However, regarding that kid Chen Feng, Rivers can only curl his lips to those who say that Chen Feng will be used as a support. , That kind of idiotic idea, I really don't know what kind of brain groove can come up with it.

Use Chen Feng as a supplement?Well, let alone whether Rivers has such an idea, even if he does.

Can that kid be willing to be a green leaf?Is it so fine to play heads-up with Garnett on the training ground?Treating him as an offensive deputy, Rivers temporarily asked himself not to think so tough.

Regarding the coexistence of Garnett and Chen Feng, Rivers and Thibodeau had considered it before the transaction was completed. Both of them have obvious personal abilities in the interior and have a wide range of activities.

This is exactly the template of two power forwards, except that one is more flexible and the other is more vigorous.

No matter who is used as the second choice of offense, it is a waste. Rivers is not rich enough to waste all-star players, but at this stage, he focuses on Garnett's problems, which makes others speculate too much.

"You have to give people a chance to integrate into the team. Besides, Garnett also needs to find an offensive feeling in the Celtics system. These guys really think too much."

Even though Rivers said so, he hesitated a bit when it came to using Garnett and Chen Feng.

After all, one is an old-fashioned star, while the other is a leader of the new generation. In addition, both of them have strong personal abilities. It is indeed a question of who will be the main attacker at the basket.

But Rivers didn't limit the number of shots that this kid Chen Feng could take. In the preseason, that kid didn't show any signs of success. He was just trying to get his feel and get in touch with his new teammates.

Facing the speculation from the outside world, Chen Feng had nothing to respond to. If he really wanted to fight for strength, he wouldn't mind wrestling with Garnett. Anyway, the two of them had already been wrestling for a month or so, and it wasn't too bad this time.

It's just that Garnett held the ball in the paint and made a strong attack, while Chen Feng wanted to start an assault from the middle distance to create more lethality. If there are two equally strong guys around, then they will completely overwhelm each other!

Grinding in the game, watching the newly joined guys around him during the game are more used to how to attack, Chen Feng reduced the number of shots just because this is just a preseason game, there is no need to let go and fight hard.

Is his sense of existence so easily obliterated?Then he is not the animal killed on the streets of New York, he is just waiting for the start of the new season in this running-in...
