Chapter 63 The Crazy Knicks
"Should I say that I am a prophet? Or, can I really predict the future?" Now Rivers really wants to find Siberto to confirm what the answer to this question is.
But what Rivers wants to do most now, I'm afraid he still slaps himself with a few big mouths.
I'm still a fucking crow's mouth! Rivers almost blurted out this sentence directly.
He really guessed right before the game. New York already has a bit of a back-to-back game. Especially after the losing streak, many players are full of anger and just want to find a channel to vent.
Even without what Thomas said, Marbury and the others wanted to prove themselves with a victory.
Rivers vaccinated his team members to prevent them from being knocked down by each other.
What's more, this is the home of the Knicks. With the shouts of more than 10,000 fans, the ghost knows that the New Yorkers will do something earth-shaking.
It turns out that Rivers is really a bit of a magic stick. The animals in the New York Knicks fought extremely fiercely after the opening, just like a group of bloodthirsty beasts.
Especially in the first two minutes after the opening, these guys were almost pressing the defense in the whole court, and there was no chance for the Celtics to adapt to the rhythm at all.
As a point guard, West was twice in a row by Marbury before he could react.
A dragon. After the opening, Marbury took the lead for the Knicks with two very beautiful counterattacks.
"Don't let New Yorkers go crazy." This is the advice of Barkley and Enni Johnson on the broadcast table, but unfortunately their warning didn't work.
It's not that the Celtics ignore the fierceness of the Knicks, but they didn't expect that the other side would play so desperately at the beginning.
Even Rivers didn't expect that Thomas could play so thoroughly. The New York Knicks didn't seem to intend to be stingy with their physical ability at all. Almost everyone was playing with the impact of their lives.
In fact, Pierce felt very hot at the beginning, but the "undead bird" who cut eight points after playing failed to stop Marbury from fighting back fiercely with a group of crazy people.
Especially the "lone wolf", which has been haunted by various reports recently, has shown its cold teeth from the beginning.
West had no good way to meet Paul in the last game. This time, he met Marbury, who had been in the NBA for a long time, and he was even more at a loss.
As Thomas said, if Marbury likes to pass the ball, he is definitely a superstar, but even if this guy doesn't pass the ball, ordinary people can't stop him at all when he holds the ball and plays singles.
In the previous two pre-season games, Rivers and his team have seen the ferocity of this lone wolf.
This time, West met a hungry beast. After Marbury opened the game, he held the ball and played singles continuously. Coupled with the dragon after the two cut, he didn't seem to have considered passing the ball.
But even if Marbury does not pass the ball, he is still the most lethal weapon of the New York Knicks.
dribbling, shaking, and then breaking through. In the first ten minutes of the game, Marbury scored 15 points on West in this way, and made West carry two fouls.
"Hey! You man with a pattern, don't get in the way here! No one can stop me from scoring!"
Every time Marbury attacks, he shouts loudly like West, who is staring at him. The whole Madison Square seems to be responding to the ferocious roar of a lone wolf.
Although Thomas kept telling the players to run and cooperate on the sidelines, Marbury obviously ignored his words. After holding the ball, he still did it alone and rarely chose to pass the ball.
It's just this guy's super offensive ability, coupled with the hot hand feeling, which makes many New York fans watch. Many people are excited to stand in their seats and cheer for the team.
"Damn it! Crazy! These guys are just gambling!" Rivers saw that the score had been widen to 35:22 before the end of the first quarter, and he could only stamp his foot and curse.
It's really crazy, because the Knicks didn't tell you any tactics, let alone reasonableness.
Basically, it depends on personal ability to solve problems, but such an unreasonable play makes you a little helpless. Even if Pierce and Jefferson play very well, they can't stand a group of crazy people.
Just like Marbury's shooting just now, there are still two steps away from the three-point line, and he actually shot directly.
It was not only a shot, but also a hollow into the net, and the shooting action was crisp, which made West drop his headband to the ground depressedly.
Even Barkley and Ennie Johnson shouted on the sidelines, "Marbury has gone crazy!"
Indeed, I guess no one will deny this now. Everything has nothing to do with Thomas's tactical arrangement, but this group of New York animals have gone crazy. They just want to destroy their opponents!
In addition to Marbury, the number one star in New York, even Eddie Curry, who rarely shoots, continuously scored four points and four rebounds on Perkins' head.
Perkins, who has always been very generous, was completely pissed off by the other side. When he grabbed a rebound, he pulled Curry out of the bottom line, which made both sides very angry.
But such a fierce gesture failed to suppress the Knicks' crazy attack, which could only stimulate them more fiercely.
And outside Marbury, the New York Knicks have a scoring maniac like Francis on the court.
The shooting rate of the New York Knicks in the first quarter was almost 80%, so the terrible offensive efficiency directly determined the one-sidedness of the score.
Although there is nothing wrong with the Celtics' tactical execution, you really don't have a good way to stop it in the face of such an unreasonable bombing.
Rivers' two consecutive suspensions in the first quarter did not make the Knicks' crazy people feel cold.
Even Pierce, a tough man who has been fighting for a long time, threw the towel on the floor hard at the end of the first quarter. I'm afraid no one likes this feeling of fire.
38:25, a gap of 13 points, it can be said that the Celtics were extremely embarrassed by the opponent.
"Damn, if these crazy people keep such a hit rate, then we don't have to fight!"
Although this is an angry word, you can see how angry Pierce is now. Not only Pierce's anger, but also Rivers's face is not good at this moment. It is absolutely uncomfortable to make the opponent's request.
"Kendrick, you continue to be in the center position, but pay attention to your mood. Curry still leaves it to you. In the second quarter, let him grab a few fewer rebounds. The opponent has too many opportunities for the second attack."
After calming down a little, Rivers had to prepare the tactical arrangements for the second quarter in addition to appeasing the players' emotions. He didn't want to surrender and admit defeat.
What's more, the opponent's twitching offensive feel can't last forever. No matter how hot it is, there are cold times. What the Celtics need to do now is to fight back.
Even if it is to bite the score and wait for the opponent to feel cold, you have to make some gains in the attack.
However, after a whole quarter of the game, Pierce and others had to adjust their physical fitness, including Jefferson, who scored eight points and four rebounds, and also had to take a break to accumulate physical strength to counterattack.
"Rondo, you go, remember, I don't need you to stare at the madman Marbury, but I need your pass to tear off the opponent's defense. We must ensure enough firepower, and you are an ammunition transporter! Provide support to others, which is what I want to see! Remember! What I need is an assist!"
Rivers, who is a little jealous of the strong firepower of the Knicks, what he needs now is that the group of bandits on the bench can burst out strong combat effectiveness, while Rondo is a mobile ammunition depot.
"I see, coach." Rondo's style of answering questions, just like the way he plays, simple, direct, without any modification.
"Chen Feng!" Rivers's next voice was not so gentle. He almost roared at the wild boy on the bench.
It turns out that Rivers's roar will only scare others and will not have any impact on someone.
The only impact was to make this guy more excited. Rivers roared out. Chen Feng had already pulled off his clothes and threw them on Scala Bryan's face.
"Head, who should I kill?" The first sentence of Chen Feng's mouth directly made everyone speechless. Xibodu directly covered his face with his hand. He really wanted to say that he was not familiar with this guy.
"Klew all the five guys on the field! 13 points! Did you see the damn score!? I don't care what you guys do! We must catch up with the score in the second quarter!"
Although Pierce and Jefferson have been replaced, Rivers's task for Rondo's second team is one. The score must bite the other party on the court! Don't care what method to use!
"No problem, boss, I am designated to beat them so that they can't even recognize their mother." Unlike other people's slightly annoyed expressions, Chen Feng looked very calm.
In fact, Chen Feng didn't feel anything about looking at the crazy performance of the New York Knicks, but compared with the other party's unreasonable scoring, Hammond, Larry Johnson and Takanian sitting in the first row of seats on the side of the court made him feel a little more painful.
"Your sister! Six tickets! It costs me $9,000 for a ticket! I may be going to live in underwear this month! Damn New York Knicks, damn you, the tickets in the first row are so expensive! I will never make you happy! Wait, Section 2, I'll kill you!"
It is estimated that if Rivers could hear Chen Feng's psychological roar at this moment, he would definitely spit blood inside!
But to deal with those crazy New York lunatics, maybe we should use crazy people to curb them.
Who else can be a little crazier than this boy? I'm afraid there is no one.
