Chapter 66 Want to run? No way!

Thomas suddenly made such a move, which made Rivers scratch his head a little. He didn't expect that the "Smiling Assassin" would make such a move, with three big men plus Marbury and Richardson.

"Now that we calculate, there are at least three guys on the Knicks who can throw a three-pointer."

In fact, it's not strange for a guy more than two meters like Fry to shoot from the outside. In the NBA, it's not strange. After all, players like the Cavaliers' Igos and the Jazz' Oku.

It's just that the problem that makes Rivers scratch his head now is not Fry's height and range, but that Thomas actually plays so well, throwing two rebounds on the inside line, and then the outer perimeter is full of three-point guns.

Richardson's kind of guy is a nerve knife that can be killed in a row, not to mention Marbury. In this game, his hands are the hottest, three-pointers and breakthroughs have to be prevented.

As for Fry, he just scored two three-pointers in a row, which was forcing the Celtics to expand their defense.

From Fry's appearance to his two goals, it was only about a minute in total. Although there was not much time, Rivers had planned to make adjustments, otherwise the momentum of getting up would be beaten down again.

If it hadn't been for Chen Feng's fierceness, Rivers really didn't know how long the Celtics would be passively beaten. Fortunately, the outbreak of that boy extinguished the Knicks' arrogance.

Although Fry's two long-range shots and Marbury's breakthrough just now have kept the Knicks' lead at six points, everyone can see that they have lost the sharpness of the first quarter.

Especially Chen Feng's group mockery of the fans. Although the response of New York fans was greater boos, even such a hot atmosphere could not continue to boost the Knicks' offensive.

It can be said that it was Chen Feng's head-on, which made the Knicks' previous violent attack stop abruptly.

And this guy frequently put pressure on the opponent's inside line in the subsequent attacks, which also made the Knicks have to spend part of their energy on defense, otherwise they are really afraid of being blown up by the boy.

It is because of Chen Feng's strength on the inside line, and Rondo's needle threading on the periphery. In the first quarter, the Celtics' disadvantageous situation was pulled back little by little.

Now the score is still behind, but compared with the previous state of being more than ten points behind, the Celtics are now putting more pressure on the opponent, otherwise Thomas would not have suddenly changed.

The Knicks' sudden change of style of play made Rivers have a little headache, but this dough guy has already calculated his mind. He is just thinking about whether to fight with the opponent? Or defense?

However, Szebiak must be replaced. This guy has always been a typical representative of strong attack and weak defense, and Fry also takes advantage of the height gap between the two people to hold the ball continuously on the outside.

Rivers is not going to let Fry continue to rage on the outside. In any case, he has to put out this guy's firepower, but who should focus on this big guy now.

In addition to Pierce's height, it should not be a problem to stare at that guy with his own defensive ability, but Rivers does not intend to use the strongest firepower to play against the opponent.

"Al, you replace Szebiak, and the big guy who loves the first three-pointer will be handed over to you."

After thinking about it, Rivers still chose to let Jefferson play. After all, this guy's defensive ability is not weak, and Jefferson's height and general style can make Fry feel uncomfortable.

"Okay, I'll stare at that guy." Jefferson's answer was still so simple and straightforward.

"The inside line remains unchanged. Chen Feng and Kendrick continue to stay inside. Don't let Curry and the big white man have the opportunity to control the rebound. They want to shoot a three-pointer on the outside. No one can grab the rebound, unless their three-point shooting rate can always be maintained at more than 50%."

Fifty? Of course, that's impossible, unless these guys are all God leaning over, even the Suns, which use bombardment as their magic weapon, does not have such a horrible three-point ability, let alone the Knicks.

Originally, Rivers intended to fight back when the opponent's hit rate began to decline, but now that Thomas wants to turn the situation around, Rivers must suppress the opponent's idea.

So after careful consideration, Rivers has formed a lineup that is opposite to the front.

Pierce and Jefferson put on the field again, but Rondo and Chen Feng stayed on the field, including Perkins. Although the offensive point of Szebiak was replaced, the firepower was not weakened.

Even Thibodeau can feel that such a strange combination of personnel is likely to improve the Celtics' offensive firepower qualitatively, because of the two novices.

Needless to say, Pierce's ability is one of the best swingers in the league, Jefferson's performance this season, does not need to deliberately look through the data to explain anything.

But the biggest surprise for Siebodeau and Rivers is probably the two first-grade novices. From the first game against the Hornets, the two kids adapted to the speed of the NBA, which shocked everyone.

Rondo's stable performance on the point guard is outrageous, and in defense, this guy can also play well against top offensive players like Marbury.

In terms of assists, this boy is more stable and accurate, with very little error rate, and he doesn't look like a novice at all.

Of course, in addition to Rondo, the other wild boy is the biggest discovery of the Celtics.

Although there is Auerbach's recommendation, Rivers was also a little suspicious of him before taking over Chen Feng, thinking that this boy is just a good personal ability, and it takes more time to integrate into the team.

It turns out that the cardinal's vision is really vicious. It took him almost not much time to get used to the rhythm of the NBA. Not only that, he has become a catalyst for the team.

In the last game, this guy made West exit depressed, and then made Paul watch the team slaughtered by the green shirts with an aggrieved face. It can be said that Chen Feng's appearance was the most important turning point in the game.

If someone says it's because of luck, then Siberdu will definitely not think it will be luck in this game. The boy almost reversed the one-sided situation on the court.

The tyrannical slam dunk, the fierce inside attack, and the wild offensive tide of the Knicks were stopped by the boy. His big hands seemed to be the most solid dyke.

The Celtics began to accelerate the pursuit of points, that is, after the end of Chen Feng's tyrannical dunk.

So even if Pierce and Jefferson returned to the court, Rivers did not let the two kids down.

He needs Rondo's calmness, and he needs the momentum of Chen Feng. It's better to defeat the other party!

"Six points, a small gap. A few minutes ago, we were more than ten points behind. Now they are more flustered than we are, so don't care too much, fight according to your habits!"

After making the substitution adjustment, Rivers didn't say much. The running-in between the players depends on the game to find the feeling. As a coach who controls the situation, he can't really play the game.

After explaining the tactics, as for what can be executed, whether it can suppress the crazy outside projection of the Knicks, Rivers can only wait and see.

However, he didn't notice that when Jefferson and Chen Feng walked into the field together, he was still thinking about how to stare at Jefferson, who was grabbed by Chen Feng.

"Hey, man, I'll stare at the boy later. You go inside." Chen Feng said to Jefferson in a very low voice. The guy's face was full of strange expressions at this moment.

"But..." Jefferson just wanted to tell Chen Feng that this was the tactic arranged by the head coach.

"Your movement speed is not as fast as mine, so it is more appropriate for me to stare at that guy. As you can see, this guy just ran well. If you have that physical strength, you might as well rush into the inside line to score."

Chen Feng interrupted Jefferson. He knew that it was arranged by Rivers, but Chen Feng now has his own ideas in mind.

Although Fry's confrontation ability is not as good as Jefferson's, this guy's running position is a little erratic. If Jefferson stares at him, most of his physical energy will be consumed in movement.

This means that it's not worth the loss. With that physical ability, it's better to go directly to the inside line and carry Curry or David Lee to play. There is no need to compete with a pitcher on the outside.

And Chen Feng just wanted to stare at the guy who ignored him. As he said to Rondo, he was ready to bite Fry to death and let him know that it was really difficult to throw a three-pointer in front of him.

"If the boss knows, we will both suffer." If you change the coach's tactical arrangement without authorization, Jefferson can understand how big the charge is.

If Rivers is furious, maybe he and Chen Feng will suffer. Although the boy's proposal is quite tempting, after all, no one is willing to be a pure defender on the outside line.

Especially Jefferson is now in the contract year. If he can continue his strong performance in scoring, the next contract may be a top salary. Even if it is not, it won't be much worse.

It's just that when Rivers arranged tactics just now, a guy like Jefferson, who has always been wither, can't really give any advice to the coach.

But if he could change the task, Jefferson was very happy, so Chen Feng's proposal moved him a little.

"It's okay. Anyway, the boss is always ready to kill me with a gun. You can pretend that you don't know anything, just say that I pushed you away. At worst, the boss will come to me if there is any problem."

Chen Feng grinned at Jefferson, making Ron and Jefferson himself helpless to hear the plan, because the boy didn't seem to take it seriously at all.

That's right. This boy can take Rivers's lesson as a deaf ear. This is not to say that he has any privileges, but purely because Chen Feng is shameless and bold.

"Okay, man, good luck. I hope that guy won't throw a three-pointer in front of you, otherwise you and I will be miserable." After weighing it over and over again, Jefferson chose to compromise.

There's nothing we can do. Jefferson also knows that even if he doesn't agree, the boy will take the initiative to keep an eye on Fry. Instead of that, it's better to sell Chen Feng now.

"Hey hey, it's okay. I'm just waiting to fight with him." Chen Feng's expression at this moment, in Rondo's opinion, how cheap, how cheap it is.

At first, no one paid attention to the deal between Jefferson and Chen Feng, but when the Knicks attacked outside the three-point line, Fry found that he was replaced by the madman in front of him.

"Man, don't run away this time. Go to the ends of the earth, and I will follow you!" Although Fry didn't fully understand what this guy was doing in front of him.

However, the bald boy's strange smile made him a little shudder...

Would you like to run? No way, a targeted prey still wants to run away? That's a dream!

(I came back late today. I'll come later. Wait for me a little longer. Anyway, I won't go to bed so early after watching the game today... Don't worry)
