Forward to the basket

Just like what Rivers said, the Celtics have been playing supporting roles for the past [-] years, so there is no need to think about whether this is bullying or not. use.

However, just like Mike Brown's starting lineup, the current Cavaliers are considered to be remnants, and the first two games are away games, and all kinds of disadvantages have been piled up.

But the reality is, what can you do?Give up the game?This assumption is definitely unacceptable to the little emperor, mainly because he can't afford to lose that person, so the Cavaliers can only go all out and fight their opponents!

But Rivers really won't give the Cavaliers this opportunity to let opponents suppress him at home?It's been a season, and no one can do it at the North Shore Garden.

Looking forward to a Cavaliers team that can't do it?It can only be said that people who have this idea really dare to think about it. [

The Celtics don't have the trouble of the Cavaliers full of wounded soldiers, and Rivers doesn't want to hide it, so this group of animals is really playing with all the main force, and the starting lineup can be said to be their strongest combination now.

Garnett, Ray Allen, Pierce, Rondo, Chen Feng, these guys haven't had a fight with anyone in the past week, and their already idle bodies are almost rusted. Pass?

And what Rivers said in the locker room was to add fire to this group of dry wood. He wanted this fire to ignite the North Shore Garden and burn the last bit of fig leaf of the Cavaliers. net.

Aren't you the champions of the Eastern Conference last season? Ok, now I will take you as a sacrificial knife, kill you, and then reach the Eastern Conference finals. If you take another step at that time, it will be the stage they most want.

But the Clevelandians are not reconciled to playing supporting roles in the thunderous shouts of North Shore Gardens.

Before playing, LeBron James had already reminded everyone loudly in the locker room.

"We didn't come here to lose. If we conceded, the seven games in the first round would be meaningless."

I don't know how to define the little emperor's leadership qualities, but this guy is rarely able to talk loudly in the locker room, or inspire people's hearts, but in the face of disadvantaged situations, the clay figurine will also be a bit rustic.

Therefore, when the Celtics succeeded in the first attack after the jump ball, the little emperor really led his Cavaliers to launch a wave of shock. At least in the first 5 minutes of the first quarter, the Cavaliers were not suppressed live.

And they really made some gains in the offense, at least the Celtics didn't have a small climax.

"They didn't get knocked down by a wave!", this is probably the thing that excited the Cleveland media the most.

In their view, the most worrying problem is that they were suppressed at the beginning and couldn't hold their heads up, but this bad situation has not happened now. If they can continue to be entangled like this, the Cavaliers may not have a chance.

In the first 5 minutes of the confrontation, the Celtics did not behave aggressively, as ferocious as they killed the Eagles. Maybe those guys really forgot the game because they rested for too long.

Cleveland fans hope this is true. At least those fierce guys give the Cavaliers a chance to fight back. With the little emperor, the Cavaliers have everything!Maybe, we can win here!

But not everyone's brains are broken. The atmosphere in the arena is crazy, but that doesn't mean everyone is crazy. There are still many people who can understand the content of the game.

"That kid Doug is learning to control the pace of the game, and it looks like he's already preparing for the finals."

An old monster like Auerbach has been in nb for half a century. He has read too much about the coach's little thoughts. .

Just like when he watched Pitino enter the Celtics and mess everything up, he said after Pitino entered the team that those academic things are actually not suitable for nb continue.

But no one really heard Auerbach's words at the time, and Pitino himself smiled slightly. [

It can only be said that the Cardinal at the time did not think about coming back, so in the face of such a situation, he did not stand up.

No one heard it. It doesn’t mean that what Auerbach said was inaccurate. Pitino came to Boston with his tactics of killing the Quartet in n, but after a few seasons here, he is still not depressed Go back to n?What did he leave with the Celtics?Nothing but a mess.

So, don't say that Auerbach is an antique, old age is a thief, and a thief is extremely cunning.

Of course, this old monster can understand the situation in this game. Why did he rest for too long and forget the feeling of the game? If that is the case, then the Celtics' shooting rate can still maintain more than 5% in the first [-] minutes?

The offense of those guys was not impatient at all. Every time they made full use of the open opportunities, they made shots. They scored 5 points in [-] minutes.

When killing the Eagles, the Celtics relied on their own stormy offense and oppressive defense.

That's completely a speed war, not giving the opponent a chance to defend, and they are constantly attacking the opponent throughout the game. The offensive efficiency may not be that exaggerated, but their sprint has caused the opponent to collapse.

Especially for the chasing counterattack, with Rondo controlling the passing rhythm, it can be said that the rest of the players are all four arrows!

That ferocious rushing state completely suppressed the Eagles on both offense and defense. They couldn't play what they were good at at all. They could only make mistakes and lose points under the tight defensive intensity.

But this game is completely different. From the moment Chen Feng jumped the ball, the Celtics' offense has been advancing at a low speed. It's not that they have no chance to break fast, but these guys didn't play in such a hurry.

It can even be said that these guys deliberately slowed down the rhythm of the assault, and instead looked for opportunities in positional warfare.

The Cavaliers' inside line is very weak, so the Celtics dragged the game into a positional battle, all they want is efficiency!

What Auerbach values ​​is the team's offensive efficiency, just like the Celtics led by him may never score the highest in the league, but their efficiency will always be ahead of their opponents.

Now the Celtics' offense is like this. Chen Feng and Garnett frequently pull to the perimeter to provide pick-and-roll screens for their teammates. They don't blindly wait for the opportunity to attack on the inside. The whole team is also looking for opportunities while running.

Without giving the basketball any chance to stop, the whole team is looking for gaps in the running, whether it is a cut-in after the inside line is pulled out for a screen, or the outside line uses running positions to exchange for a good position for an open shot.

And this kind of interspersed running is constantly messing up the Cavaliers' defensive formation, making them focus on one thing and lose another.

Anyway, the Celtics' positional warfare is by no means rigid, it is said to be a positional warfare, but these guys can play with wind-like speed, interspersed, run, cut and cover, and they play extremely patiently.

Within 5 minutes, there were three shots that took 20 seconds. They really missed the opportunity completely, so they chose to make the final shot. During these few minutes, they didn't try a single attack with reluctance.

Pierce scored four points, Ray Allen made a three-pointer, Garnett used the pick-and-roll to cut to the basket twice to score, and Chen Feng used his jumping power to press Varejao to complete a tip-up.

Rondo didn't score, but this kid has contributed three assists, plus a steal from Gibson, and two defensive rebounds. The Celtics want this kind of efficiency.

Auerbach can understand why Rivers plays so steadily. The depth of the Cavaliers' lineup is not so terrible. They are not even as strong as the Eagles. Only a little emperor can hold the scene.

Facing such an opponent, even if Rivers shouted the slogan of sweeping, it is not surprising. [

But what Rivers wants now is not a simple victory, but to use the game to polish Boston's own style. This assumption is just a process in the regular season.

But after entering the playoffs, you have to let your team have its own characteristics and style.

Efficient and extremely practical, this is what Rivers pursues. He does not require how beautiful the game is, but he must be able to control the rhythm in his own hands, and the mistakes and blind shots must be reduced.

The last game against the Eagles relied on speed to overwhelm the opponent, which may be very useful in the first round of the playoffs.

But as the game progresses, the opponents you have to face can only become stronger and stronger. If the Cavaliers' injury surge is not so fierce, the combat effectiveness of the Cleveland people is also quite strong.

You can't rely on this kind of impact to take everything. When the opponent's defensive strength increases, your speed may not be effective, and that kind of speed impact is prone to mistakes.

When you face an opponent like the Spurs, your high turnover is ruining the possibility of winning, so Rivers has no intention of continuing to play like this at all. He needs a more stable performance and a more efficient operation mode. Cleveland, Rivers began to ask the beasts under him to control everything!

From defensive strength to offensive shot selection, Rivers took the trouble to emphasize all the details of the game during the truce of the past week. He didn't have to teach him by hand. After all, old guys like Garnett understand. What should he do, Rivers only needs to have a general idea, and then supervise the implementation.

Efficiency, high execution ability, Rivers' goal now is not to crush the Cavaliers by a few points, but to use these Cleveland guys to bring out the efficiency of the Celtics!

Their goal is not just to kill the little emperor, but to go further in the playoffs. Last season, they fell in the second round of the deadlock. Is it necessary to repeat that scene this season?

I'm sorry, Chen Feng's animals will not allow such a thing to happen, and likewise, Rivers doesn't want to...
