Starting with 2006

Chapter 99

On the special plane of the Boston Celtics, looking at the dark clouds outside the window, turning his head to look at everyone on the plane, listening to the ups and downs of snoring, and occasionally one or two meaningless shouts let Rivers know that they All fell into sleep.

After this thrilling battle, the players must sleep well, because they still have games, but as the head coach of the Celtics, he can't fall asleep anyway, not because he doesn't want to, but because he can't!

As long as he just fell asleep, he would think of Gao Tian's lore, and then he would wake up suddenly, so that after a few times, he didn't want to sleep again even if he was sleepy again.

Sighing softly, Rivers couldn't help worrying about the fate of the Celtics in the eternal darkness outside the window.

When forming the Big Three, everyone was full of confidence. They believed that this lineup would definitely bring back a championship to the long-lost champion Green Army and even establish the original dynasty. The opening game also seemed to confirm the truth of this idea. sex.

But today's game against the Suns really hurt the hearts of all the Celtics. They were about to win a game with a solid foundation of confidence, but in the end they were killed by the rookie who had been exhorted. !
This is undoubtedly very painful. The game that I thought was firmly in my hands was snatched away from my eyes at the last moment. At that moment, his vision for the future was also shaken a little. Get the championship?

He was a little skeptical. The Green Army seemed to be lacking something. Although the starting lineup was good, the substitute lineup was really bad. If they want to be stronger, they must strengthen it!
Rivers knows what the team needs to do now, but he also knows that it will be difficult to reinforce, so he can only slowly find suitable players. However, if reinforcements are not obtained, is there any hope for the Celtics this season? ?

His eyes slowly swept over all the players, and finally he looked at the Big Three of the Celtics. Whether it was Garnett or Ray Allen, everyone knew that they came here with only one goal, and that was the championship. .

They either took the initiative or had no choice but to leave their team as the masters and came to the Celtics, which once had countless stars. The superstars who have reached their thirties have already known where they are going. They have sacrificed a lot. Everyone here has sacrificed a lot.

So they have to win a championship no matter what!
After paying such a high price, and even bearing some infamy, they will never let themselves get nothing after paying the peak of their careers!
champion!

All they need is a champion!
They don't need any other honors other than that, and they don't care at all who wins fmvp, as long as they win the championship is enough.

This is the belief of all of them. The seemingly indestructible belief was cracked by a rookie with a cold-blooded lore today. Rivers saw the confusion in the hearts of all the Celtics players. They were very scared Will encounter this kind of lore again, especially in the playoffs.

They are all veterans, and they are not afraid of a big defeat. As long as it is a big defeat, there must be a reason. There is always a way to avoid it or improve it, but everyone is afraid of such a lore. Hit too hard because you never know if the ball will be the final straw!
A heaven, a hell!
They dare not bet, because they are just a newly formed team, full of suspicion and infighting in places that are invisible to the public, and everyone is unwilling to be inferior to others, but the people inside the seemingly solid wall are all poor guy.

Rivers shook his head. He didn't want to think about these things anymore. He hoped that everything would be normal tomorrow. He was very afraid that this failure would deal a big blow to the players. The game may not be in good shape.

How hard things are!
Maybe the only gain in the game against the Suns is him.

Seeing Rondo, who was still impatient when he was asleep, Rivers chuckled. He actually likes Rondo very much. The point is that the projection is really bad.

But today I really gave myself a surprise, what if Rondo's feel can be maintained?

He couldn't help but look forward to it. As long as Rondo can have the general shooting ability just now, the Celtics' strength will be improved a lot in an instant. His tactics will be much more flexible in an instant.

Thinking of this, Rivers is no longer sleepy. He seems to be staring at Rondo, but in fact he has been completely obsessed with how to set up tactics for Rondo. Pierce, Ray Allen, and Rondo are distributed On the three-point line, how many people can resist Garnett one-on-one inside?

Also, Pierce or Ray Allen can play a pick-and-roll with Rondo. Rondo quickly rolls out and pretends to shoot the ball to attract the attention of the defender and create a good space for another attacker.

As soon as Rondo opened his eyes, he was shocked to see all the people surrounding him. He was about to open his mouth when suddenly a big hand covered his mouth. Looking into Garnett's eyes, he looked forward. past.

Suddenly his heart almost jumped out, what is this?
Rivers looked at him with a blank smile, and everyone's eyes swept back and forth between their faces. This scene was very strange.

……

Rivers' face was livid, and he dropped the tactical board directly.

All the people did not dare to show their anger. Since they woke up Rivers, Rivers has been smiling, and has been encouraging the frightened Rondo, which makes everyone puzzled. You must know that Rondo But the one who is usually scolded by Rivers the most.

What's going on now?
When Rivers said his tactics, everyone suddenly realized that it was because of Rondo's sudden three-point ability.

Everyone has no opinion on Rivers' arrangement, even Ray Allen, who has a part of the tactical position occupied by Rondo, doesn't mind. Yesterday's failure made them see that the strength of the Celtics is far from enough. It is naturally good that the team can be stronger.

All the assumptions are very good. Facing Rondo, Kidd did not prevent Rondo's outside three-pointer at all, and Rondo, who received the ball, shot directly and confidently under Kidd's surprised eyes. Go straight to the rebound after the shot.

Of course, this rebound undoubtedly belonged to Kidd, who had been expected for a long time, and Rondo, who was a little scared, shot four consecutive three-pointers under the encouraging eyes of Rivers. After the Celtics scored 0:13 behind.

Everyone sighed. Sure enough, the Rondo yesterday was abnormal, but the blacksmith now is the real Rondo.
