Chapter 38 Sharpness
How terrible is a man who has not released the essence of his life for several years?
estimate this problem... It's hard to answer.
But you just need to think about it, why do you say that Shaolin is the world's martial arts?
You know.
Ascetic men are indeed terrible beings.
Now the Toronto Raptors are a group of NBA** who have been holding back for several years and can only hear boos every night in the game. This gathering is definitely quite destructive.
This is the situation for the Toronto Raptors now. It is a group of men who are in urgent need of release.
After Carter left, the Toronto Raptors completely sank, and there was no crazy roar for the Canadian Flying Man in the Sky Dome Arena.
Every time there is a home game here, there is no slogan to cheer up, and it is full of boos.
Last season, only 27 wins and 55 losses were achieved, second only to 24 wins and 58 losses in the 02-03 season.
The NBA's new army is already very sad, and Toronto has been pushed to the extreme.
But after they selected the champion, they could finally open their throat and howl hard.
In the first game of the preseason, with a home advantage, Toronto's already suffocated men finally lost their temper.
14:2, in four minutes, the Toronto Raptors scored 14 points and counterattacked quickly.
On the Celtic side, only Szebiak made a long-distance mid-range shot on the three-point line.
If there is no cover for the shyness of this barely shot, then the Celtics may be shaved by their opponents in the first four minutes.
In seven shots and one shot, this embarrassing data can no longer be attributed to the cold weather.
This is not playing baseball on the street. The temperature in the Sky Dome Arena is not low.
It is that the rhythm of the whole Celtics has been messed up by the opponent, and Tony Allen has been chasing Ford's buttocks to eat dust.
In fact, Allen's defensive ability is very strong, but this time he met T.J Ford, who recovered from injury, is the only madman in the NBA league who can catch up with Iverson at speed.
In the first four minutes of the game, you can always see Ford, who is only 1.83 meters tall, like stepping on the hot wheel, throwing away Tony Allen, who is more than 1.9 meters tall at a rampage speed.
No wonder when he entered the NBA in the rookie season, Iverson said, "Ford can't prevent my high-speed change. Similarly, I can't keep an eye on his lightning cut."
If it hadn't been for the torture of injuries, maybe this little man would have been proud of the NBA with this speed advantage, and he wouldn't have fallen all the way to the Toronto Raptors.
However, after several seasons of rest, Ford finally got rid of injury entanglement this summer and finally came back, and as soon as he came back, he gave Tony Allen a blow.
Among the 14 points scored by the Raptors, Ford contributed three assists, and he also scored two points.
In addition, Ford has two accurate steals, but these are not the most deadly. The main thing is his lightning-like incision, which completely disrupts the Celtics' defense.
The chaos of the outside line will also affect the defense of the inside line. Perkins could have been able to withstand Chris Bursh's frontal attack, but Ford's cut-in confused Ogwokandi.
Ogvokandi met the new top scorer Bagnani on the inside line, and the old top scorer met the new top scorer.
If you just look at the title, you would have thought it would be the death of the opponent, but the cruel facts have proved that Ogvo Kandy really did not waste the outside world's comments on him.
One rebound, covered twice, Ogvokandi contributed such data in the first four minutes.
In fact, Bagnani's performance is not good, with two points and two rebounds and a block, but compared with Ogwokandi, this is simply an amazing performance!
Besides, there is also Nestlovich around Bagnani who is constantly cooperating with him. How can he deal with a waste center like Ogvokandi?
Although Ogvocandi also has a descendant like Kwame Brown, the same watery goods are really only more watery, not the most watery.
I'm afraid that there are few people who can make their careers so bad that they can't get the title of champion than Ogvo Candy.
With such a waste material standing on the inside line, do you still expect him to shoulder the heavy responsibility of defense?
Rivers almost stamped his feet on the sidelines and cursed, "Michael, that idiot! Two fouls in four minutes! He can't think that he can still play in the new season!"
It's not only that Rivers has been a little violent, but also that Siberdu can't sit still next to him. After all, he is responsible for the team's defensive training, and he can't hold his face with such a bad performance.
Without Pierce and other generals, he was hit by such a blow at the beginning of the game. The scene on the Celtic side seemed a little chaotic, and Rivers had no choice but to call a pause.
"Stabilize! Your rhythm is already messed up! If you don't want to be killed like this, cheer up immediately! Stand in a position! Don't let the other party rush! The inside line must be guarded!"
Rivers did not give any face to Ogwokandi, the former champion, and directly threw the biggest scar of the inside to the bench, and Perkins was pushed to the center position.
And the power forward was served by Jefferson, who was hammered on the ground by his opponent for a long time. Even if he was a clay figurine, he was angry.
"Let those guys on the opposite wake up! I don't want them to think that the game has won here! Just this one requirement! Kick their ass! Kick hard!"
Tony Allen was also replaced because of his poor performance at the opening, and West was replaced as the point guard.
The restarted game has returned to a normal state, and the attack and defense of both sides are no longer one-sided. The game has fallen into a stalemate, and the two sides are killing each other.
Although Ford's sprint speed is still as fast as lightning, the Raptors' fast attack is much less.
Perkins and Jefferson have completed the task of guarding the inside line, leaving Ford not too many opportunities to directly hit the basket.
Although West also stared at Ford, it was better than Tony's awkwardness in the initial stage. The position gradually stabilized, and the Celtics' attack began to gradually improve.
Although Szebiak's peripheral shooting is still soft, the accuracy is much better than just now. The continuous middle shot made him score four points.
And Jefferson's strong attack on the inside line has also achieved results. Chris Bursh, who has just been replaced, has a small body like a firewood girl who can't withstand the big guy.
Jefferson is really good at playing power forward. He is good at playing under the basket twice in a row.
However, Perkins still suffer a bit of a loss in his head. When grabbing rebounds from the inside, he is always taken advantage of by the Bagnani guy.
This is still because Nestlovich has taken a break, and the Raptors also use two power forwards to fight with the Celtics.
Sometimes Perkins' loss of position will also involve Jefferson's defensive center of gravity. Coupled with the figure of Bishchai Fire Girl, she rarely squeezes into the inside line at all, and always votes are thrown around outside.
As long as Jefferson doesn't follow him, he will be easily attacked by Bosh on the periphery.
The scores of the two teams have not really narrowed. From the 12-point gap at the beginning to the whistle at the end of the first quarter, the Celtics are still eight points behind the Toronto Raptors.
Even if Rivers called another pause to adjust the tactics halfway, the score has been deadlocked on the eight-point gap.
30:22, the gap of 8 points is not very dazzling, but Rivers is not satisfied with the overall performance of the first quarter. He did not play anything he asked for in training.
If it weren't for Jefferson's excellent personal ability, maybe a double-digit score difference would be more reasonable.
This was the case with the Celtics last season. They were all killed by Pierce. As a result, Pierce was injured and the team's performance plummeted.
If this season is the same, even if there is one more Jefferson who has begun to mature, the Celtics' performance will not be much better.
There is no suitable tactic to rely on. You can play with talent alone. You can also fool around in the regular season. If you enter the playoffs, you will definitely die.
"This group of players has been used to the way they played last season. Is it time to change?"
Rivers knew that his kids already had a kind of inertia, especially when someone could rely on, they did not have the consciousness to stimulate their potential.
After the start of the second quarter, such inertia is still spreading. Jefferson's strong attack under the basket and the other party's multi-point flowering always make the score bite to death.
The Celtics want to chase points, but the Raptors' firepower is really strong.
The Raptors wanted to open the score, but Jefferson was on the inside line and ate hard against Bursh, and he was sure to eat one.
The glue is the score, and Rivers's mind. He needs a fundamental change in the team.
He needs a catalyst, and he needs a catalyst that can immediately stimulate the fire of the whole team.
Such a dead attack cannot bring victory and desired changes to the Celtics.
"Rondo, Chen Feng, you two come here!" After thinking for a long time, Rivers finally decided to change, and he shouted at the bench.
The incompetence of the first quarter and the glue in the second quarter have already made Chen Feng restless on the cold bench.
Hearing Rivers' voice, Chen Feng almost jumped directly in front of the coach and pulled up Rondo, who had not yet reacted.
"Rondo, you replace West. In addition to staring at Ford, you also need to control the attack of the whole team. I know this task is very heavy, but you have to complete it!"
Rivers is already very angry about the offensive rhythm on the court. Even West, a player who has played in the NBA for several years, can't satisfy him.
Now Rajan Rondo is playing to take on the role of point guard, which is also a new attempt for him.
As for the bald boy standing next to him, although Rivers had a headache when he saw him, Perkins had fouled twice, and someone must be able to connect inside.
Jefferson can be used as a center forward, so this boy can go to play the power forward. Anyway, this wild boy has a lot of momentum and may create some trouble for the other party.
"Chen Feng, go to replace Al's power forward position and stick to Chris Bursh. Don't let him have the opportunity to shoot easily again. In addition, pay attention to protecting the rebound."
In fact, after two weeks of coaching, Rivers has almost understood one thing.
That's what you say to Chen Feng. It may not be as good as putting him directly on the field.
"Go up and kill them, that's the requirement!" Rivers issued the order in the simplest way.
Chen Feng, who had been sitting on the cold bench for nearly 20 minutes, could not resist his impulse to fight with his opponent. He whistled at Perkins.
The "two fat" who has always been very kind, after fighting for more than a section, finally came to rest.
And Chen Feng sneaked into the inside position. When Ron saw this scene behind, he really wanted to say that he didn't know him.
Replace two rookies. Such a move is more like raising hands and surrendering in advance when the two sides are in a standoff. At least the Raptors don't think the two rookies can change anything.
Even Bagnani, who has mediocre data, is energetic at this time. He is depressed that his scoring plan has not been going smoothly.
Now that the other side has two novices, he, the top draft, has to perform well, at least to make Toronto fans think that he is really worthy of the title of champion.
Although Bagnani's current opponent has been replaced by Jefferson, Bagnani still has a little advantage in height. "Eat him!" When Ford passed the ball into the inside line, the champion was ready to turn this attack into his one-on-one battle against Jefferson, and he also wanted to be the final winner.
Shaking his shoulders, Jefferson did not eat Bagnani's fake movements, but the Italians did not only have fake movements. He saw that he could not shake Jefferson, and his toes exerted force, and the air directly changed the shape of his hand.
Tap! Jefferson was already a little shorter than Bagnani. At this time, if he wanted to block or interfere, he could only look at the ball and sigh for a long time.
"There is!" Although it was a little hasty, Bagnani was still a little confident in the accuracy of his shooting near the three-second zone. As soon as the ball shot, he felt it was there.
"You have your sister!" Before Bagnani understood the meaning of this shouting, he saw that the basketball that had been floating in the air was slapped on the backboard with one hand.
"Bang!" When the loud noise comes out through the microphone, it is sharp and harsh, and even makes people hear the sound of the big hands rubbing against the basketball on the rebound of the reinforced glass.
At this moment, everyone saw a strong figure with a bald head passing by in an instant.
Under the light of the Sky Dome Arena, it seems that there is a sharp flash on the guy rising in the sky!
(Well, the Heat has been won one after another recently. Is it to save character for the playoffs? This... Sure enough, he is far-sighted... Maybe they will succeed this season. I don't know what kind of expression the little emperor will be after the real success. Looking forward to... Everyone work hard to vote. There are many vertical and horizontal activities that you can get vertical and horizontal coins. You can play small games and so on, earn some money, and you can also use it while reading.)
