Chapter 74 This is only related to courage

Although Chen Feng came up and scored four points, the situation did not change much in the next more than a minute. The two sides scored one goal, and the score was still nine points at the end of the first quarter.

The roar in the Auburn Hill Palace Stadium was still so noisy. There were several big gasping guys sitting on the Celtics' bench. They were a little tired after the confrontation just now.

Maybe in addition to Chen Feng and Rondo, two new guys, such as Jefferson and others, have consumed a lot of physical strength. After all, the confrontation with the Pistons is completely a pure physical hard collision.

Even Jefferson's ** is sweating in the fight with Rashid Wallace. The Pistons' almost hanging defense can really reach an inseparable state.

Not to mention Szebiak, Puslin took close care of him almost all-weather. Szebiak, who had a very ordinary confrontation ability, was even more miserable.

Rivers looked at the players in front of him, and he was also thinking about countermeasures. It was not useless for Chen Feng to play. The boy's two attacks not only narrowed the score, but also cheered up the players a lot.

At the beginning, when the big score was behind, everyone seemed a little depressed. Except for Jefferson, who could cheer up and fight with the other party, the rest of them were a little discouraged and even passively resisted.

It may be that the Pistons' offensive is a little too fierce. At least the success rate makes the Celtics a little irresistible, but Chen Feng hit two hard on the way up, which is really very upsetting.

The whole Auburn Hill Palace Stadium is also stagnant because of the boy's fierce performance.

However, Chen Feng could not pry the whole Pistons team alone, and when Jefferson was on the court, Rdo's first pass target was still on Jefferson, and Chen Feng did not have many opportunities inside.

This is also because Rondo has a certain amount of defensive pressure when facing Billups. Even if it is in the attack, be careful at all times. Otherwise, if you don't pay attention, you may be interrupted by the opponent and fight back.

In the first half of the first quarter, West has encountered such a scene. Billups may not take action easily, but once this guy takes action, he will be sure, and the efficiency of the counterattack is naturally needless to say.

The score can be opened so quickly, which is also inseparable from the level between the point guards of the two sides, especially the small tendons of Billups. In terms of physical confrontation, West can't take advantage at all.

Even if Rondo is on the stage, his small body can't stand the crushing of Billups.

Fortunately, Rondo has a pair of long arms, which can take advantage of the ball control. Otherwise, he will bump into Billups face to face. It is estimated that the end is not much better than West, at least he doesn't have so much experience.

But now the experience is at a disadvantage, and the body is not superior. It is indeed a little difficult for Rondo to send an assist to Chen Feng, and after being hit by Chen Feng twice in a row, Mohammed also consciously began to go around.

The Pistons are strong in their own defensive resilience. Although they are not once the best defensive player, their defensive system is still complete, and this defensive system is also their unique skill.

Cut the connection between the outside line and the inside line, and try to wrap the inside line forward. The two big men guard against the opponent's inside line holding the ball, forcing the opponent to pass the ball, or rush to shoot, and Billups can even withdraw and attack.

That's how the Lakers died at the beginning. Even if they piled up a circle of masters on the inside and outside lines, they couldn't escape from the copper wall and iron wall of the Pistons. It was really worn to death with a soft knife.

Now the Celtics are facing such a situation. Either the outside line can be attacked, or the inside line can only rely on Jefferson's central axis. Unfortunately, Jefferson's individual combat ability is not bad, but it is really a little difficult for him to be the central axis to coordinate the internal and external offensive points of the whole team.

This guy is not Brad Miller. He doesn't have such a beautiful passing skill, so no matter how Rivers looks at it, the Celtics' attack and the internal and external lines are cut off by the opponent.

There is no connection with each other, and it seems a little dry when covering the attack. In addition to relying on Jefferson's singles, Rivers really can't find a better way.

But Jefferson is not omnipotent. He doesn't have the core cohesion of Pierce's team. Even if the success rate of singles is not low, every attack can't bring great confidence to his teammates.

What's more, it has now entered the second quarter. Rotation is an issue that Rivers needs to consider. Jefferson's physical fitness is not bad, but he can't let this guy go down after a whole quarter on the court.

Rivers doesn't know what the other team's head coach thinks about it, but according to common sense, it is estimated that the Pistons should also enter the rotation time, but compared with the opponent, the bench depth of his team is also very thin.

On the side of the Pistons, there is also the old guy Hunter, as well as the energetic Harrington, the good forward McDes, and Delfino, and Davis in the center position.

Now Rivers really wants to curse. The spare rotation of the Pistons is now no less than the start of the Celtics, let alone deal with their second set of rotations.

Either enter the rotation at the same time, or rely on a set of lineup to deal with the other party to the end. There are only two roads in front of Rivers, but in the eyes of others, this may just be a matter of premature death and late.

Would you like to win? Unless it is possible for the Pistons to release water, it is really a dream to rely on this lineup.

Looking at Jefferson, who has been trying to adjust his breathing rhythm, Rivers understands that he must rotate, otherwise Jefferson may fall into a fatigue battle. It is a continuous away game, and the injury is annoying enough. If this guy is also injured again, it will not be worth the loss.

"Al, come down and rest." Rivers signaled Ogwokandy that he could take off his training suit. Although Jefferson seemed to have something to say, Rivers waved his hand to stop it.

There is no need to say anything more. Rivers understands that Jefferson still wants to fight with Rashid Wallace.

But the Celtics can't afford to hurt anyone now. This is not the playoffs. If you lose, you will have no chance. If you lose in the regular season, you still have to recover. What's more, the Celtics are not sure to win now.

There is no need to let your starting force go to the end. Don't hesitate when it's time to rotate.

Now even if it is a chicken rib like Ogwokandi, it is much wiser than letting Jefferson continue to carry it. Although Rivers doesn't want to be defeated by the opponent's attack, there is really no good solution now. Rondo, Chen Feng, Ogwokandi, Tony Allen, Telfer, this is now. He is not sure about the effect of the second lineup that FOSS can make up.

West, Jefferson, Perkins, these guys all need to rest. As for Szebiak, who has been entangled by Prince for a long time, he has no choice but to sit on the bench to adjust his mentality.

Although Pierce is cheering up his teammates, everyone knows how big the gap is.

"That's all I can do. I hope God won't be too cruel to us." After arranging his second lineup, Rivers could only pray psychologically, but he could only expect it.

"Pay attention to the transfer of the ball. Everyone should pay attention to the running position, receiving, and cooperating. Only cooperation can tear open the opponent's defense." Although it is now a full substitute lineup, Rivers is also explaining tactics.

I don't know what effect this arrangement can have, but Rivers hopes that his tactics can be implemented all the time. Even if it is to lay the foundation for future games, he should implement the established tactical arrangements.

Sieberdu didn't say anything, but he also had his own idea in his heart. The game was in a one-sided situation. At this time, the rotation was forced, but Rivers should still have the direction of the main attack.

Insideline? Or the outside line? There must be an offensive focus, just like when Pierce was present, they could rely on this to open up the situation, and Jefferson just played such a role.

But now Rivers has not explained that once he wants to enter the position battle, who is the focus of the attack.

You can't really rely on the whole to compete with your opponent, can you? That's a very wise decision to cooperate with the Pistons as a whole. It is estimated that only the San Antonio Spurs have this qualification in the whole league.

"Dogg..." Thibodeau just wanted to remind his partner, but he hadn't spoken yet. Rivers seemed to have understood what he was going to say and waved his hand to interrupt him.

"You have also seen how the Pistons attacked in the first quarter. Even if these guys start to rotate later, the tactics will not change much. The overall cooperation is the strongest place for the Pistons."

"So don't expect how many opportunities you can attack quickly. Once you enter the position battle, I need you to understand where to tear their defense."

"Insideline! Since their big people have gone down, let's tear the gap from the inside line!"

Rivers changed his low voice just now. After saying this, he hammered the tactical board hard. He glanced at Ogwo Kandi, but then looked at Chen Feng next to him.

"Chen Feng!" Rivers's voice roared, which made Chen Feng a little surprised.

"I'm here!" Almost subconsciously answered, but Chen Feng finally reacted.

"You boy, start attacking from the position of the power forward! Once there is a position battle, I need you to take the ball and start charging, just like you did twice just now, smash their defenses hard!"

As soon as Rivers said this, even Thibodeau's eyes widened. What? Is that the boy's main attack?

It's not only Thibodeau who is a little surprised. The main players such as Pierce and Jefferson are a little stunned. What's the matter? Let a first-year novice carry the team forward?

Even if Pierce and Jefferson think that Chen Feng's ability is not bad, let him become the main offensive firepower point? Why does this sound so unreliable?

If it is to let Ogvo Kandy attack inside, it may sound more practical than this idea.

It's not that Chen Feng's ability is insufficient, but these teammates have not turned around. After all, this guy is just a first-grade rookie with good level, but he is not enough to carry the team.

But Rivers ignored the eyes of the people around him. He stared into Chen Feng's eyes and said word by word, "Have you seen those guys? In the second quarter, you go to the court and tear him up!"

"I don't care whether they are on Mohammed or McDace, you must attack me!"

"If you can't deal with them, give me a cold bench immediately! There is nothing else to negotiate!"

Thibodeau has never seen Rivers have such a fierce expression, and he said such cruel words to Chen Feng, as if there was no room left for Chen Feng, which was completely a death order.

But before Thibodeau could react, he heard a more fierce voice roaring, "No matter how these guys rotate, as long as I can still be on the court, I will tear off their defense!"

Pierce and others looked at the expression on Chen Feng's face at this moment. It was really murderous. The boy is now pinching his knuckles hard, as if he is ready to rush to the field to fight.

"Remember your promise and don't disappoint your teammates and me. Rondo and others will create enough opportunities for you, but remember that you must let everyone see the effect of this trust!"

Before Chen Feng appeared on the stage, Rivers patted the guy on the back and said in a low voice.

"Head, look at me, I will never disappoint anyone." The smile on Chen Feng's face made Rivers inexplicably a little relieved. "Maybe this gambling will be a little effective."

"Man, you may be a little too impatient." Thibodeau whispered to Rivers. Although he didn't stop Rivers' tactical arrangement, he still felt that it was a little inappropriate.

Even if Chen Feng is a talented guy, he should not carry such a heavy burden so early.

The story of pulling seedlings to help Sibao is not very clear, but he has seen a lot of players who are overwhelmed under pressure. He doesn't want the boy who has just taken over for a long time to be defeated by pressure.

"I don't want to lose. In the same way, I also know that the boy doesn't want to lose. Just now, when he was off the court, he kept looking up at the score and didn't say anything for a long time. I know very well that he is also holding his strength."

"If this boy can do half of what I asked for, my gambling is worth it, man, believe that boy, believe me once, this is not pressure, this is just the stage I provided to him."

Listening to Rivers' explanation, Thibodeau did not continue to argue about anything. He knew that Rivers was tough in his bones. Similarly, he also understood that Chen Feng was also a guy who would rather bend.

I hope that maybe my partner is not wrong, and I hope that Chen Feng can really be like what he said.

Compaing with Xibodu's slightly reserved worry, Rondo, who had already stood on the bottom line with Chen Feng and was ready to serve, seemed very straightforward. He threw a sentence, "Waiting for my pass."

I don't say anything more. Rondo doesn't believe in Rivers' judgment. He just believes in his eyes and intuition, or he believes more in the guy who trains with him every day.

"Don't waste my pass, or there won't be another time." Rondo didn't say this.

But he has decided that no matter Billups defends himself or others, he can't stop him from sending the basketball to the wild boy. The rest is up to the guy's own.

As for others, they may still be shocked by Rivers' tactical choice, but now it seems that this may be the only choice. After all, Ogvokandi's offensive power on the inside line is weak and distressing.

And without the two shooting points of Pierce and Szebiak, the offensive ability of the outside line may only be seen by Tony Allen's unreliable three-pointer. In comparison, it is better to give Chen Feng more stable.

"Don't worry, we will have a chance on the outside line. You can wait inside and I will definitely give the ball to you." Tony Allen patted Chen Feng's buttocks and ran to the other side's half.

"I'll go, Tony, if you do this again, be careful that I sue you for sexual harassment!" The other four people on the court now know that others may be nervous, but Chen Feng definitely doesn't have that nerve.

Even if Rivers had given the burden of the team's attack to this boy, he didn't get nervous.

Are you nervous? Chen Feng now just wants to say that his heart beats very fast, but this is not nervous, but just an inexplicable excitement, just like when he fought with Hammond, he only looking forward to fighting for his life.

Sanders didn't have a downwind ear. He couldn't hear Rivers' tactical arrangement, but as Rivers guessed, Sanders finally began to rotate without a substitution in the first quarter.

Maybe the nine-point lead gave him enough confidence. This guy replaced the first five people with four people in one go. It is estimated that he also saw the slightly embarrassing thickness of the bench on the Celtics.

Only Mohammed is still on the court. In addition, McDace, Hunter, Harrington and Mark Hill are all on the field.

Sanders' idea is also very simple. With this lineup, the Pistons' offensive firepower will not weaken much, especially on the inside. McDace's offensive ability is very comprehensive.

And Harrington and Hunter's ability is not bad, especially Hunter. Although he is a little short, he is definitely an old and cunning guy. It should not be a problem to contain Rondo.

Harrington's breakthrough ability is also good, and it is absolutely enough to deal with the Celtics' rotation.

In fact, Sanders has a sense of superiority now. His second lineup is definitely stronger than his opponent.

If he can kill his opponent at home and win five consecutive victories, maybe he can really slowly erase the mark left by Old Brown, and maybe he can take the Pistons to the finals again.

What Sanders thinks is right, and his judgment is completely reasonable from the paper. At least no one dares to say what the deterrent of the Celtics' lineup is now.

To be from the heart, even the Boston fans who sit in front of the TV and watch the game are a little desperate about the game.

Although Chen Feng scored four points in the first quarter, not many people now think that without Pierce and Jefferson's lineup, he can continue to struggle with the Pistons.

Sanders even forgot the guy who made his eyelids jump. Maybe the four points in the first quarter was just an accident. At least Sanders didn't pay too much attention to the novice.

Maybe this will be a defeat. Anyway, many Celtic fans subconsciously think so.

But everyone ignores one point. Not everyone will play the game according to what is on paper.

Especially those who are unruly, and will not act according to the script you have written.

Breaking the rules, maybe this is the meaning of some people's existence in the world, such as some fierce guy.

While Sanders was still waiting for his rotation to continue to open the score, someone moved.

Rondo began to control the ball in the backcourt and lost his physical confrontation with Billups. Although Hunter was also very strong, this guy's height was a little inferior and could not completely block Rondo's sight.

Similarly, Hunter had no chance to block Rondo's pass. What's more, this guy still used the most secure hanging ball, but after Ogwokandy took the ball, he could not squeeze out Mohammed.

Mohammed was actually a little depressed, especially Chen Feng's two attacks in the first quarter, which made him a defensive scar on the court. Fortunately, Sanders didn't replace him this time.

Originally, the Pistons bought him from the Spurs to fill the defensive vacancy left by Big Ben. No matter how he played, Mohammed seemed to have a shadow.

Just now, one or two fans even held a big sign of missing Ben Wallace, which put a lot of pressure on Mohammed. Now he must prove his value.

Even as a spare tire, Mohammed hopes to be a qualified spare tire, not a scar.

Facing the card position of Ogwakandi, Mohammed raised his arm hard against the opponent. Although the opponent was once the top pick in the NBA draft, it was already an old almanac.

Muhammad was not so much that he was pushed away by a half-disabled man. He pressed hard on the other party's back, raised his hands high, and blocked the sight of Ogwokandi turning around and shooting.

Ogwokandi arched back hard, but his weak knee was really weak. He failed to carry Mohammed twice, so he had no choice but to prepare to pass the ball to the outside line and start over.

But before Ogwo Kandy could find Rondo or Tony Allen's figure, a pair of powerful hands had been pressed on the basketball and passed by in an instant.

The hand was empty, and Ogvocandi's first reaction was bad, letting the opponent break the ball!

Block him! Before Ogwo Kandy roared, he found out who the guy who took the ball.

In the same team uniform, the shiny bald head looked extremely eye-catching under the light. Ogwokandy didn't realize what had happened at all, and saw that the bald boy had soared into the air.

Across the person, NO, not just through Ogwokandi. When Chen Feng got the basketball and jumped up, he pressed Ogwokandi's shoulder, and also crossed the hands held high by Mohammed.

The distance between the two seems to be a very exaggerated distance. You should know that the entanglement between Ogwakandi and Mohammed is on the three-second zone, but Chen Feng seems to ignore all obstacles at this moment.

Take off in the air, and the abdominal muscles contract vigorously. The big hand holding the basketball raises it up hard, and then presses down hard, just like the strength of Qianjun.

"Bong!", heavy smashing, harsh roar...

After the one-handed dunk completed by two people, when Chen Feng tightened his biceps and rushed to the broadcast camera, it was estimated that many people were still staring at all this in a daze in their seats.

"This is just the beginning! Believe me!" Chen Feng roared loudly at Rivers, and the blood vessels jumping up on his neck seemed to burst at any time.

Challenging a champion-level team, sometimes it is not just strength that you have to fight against.

Sometimes, it only has something to do with courage...

Just like Rondo asked Chen Feng a long time ago, what he thought about the slam dunk between two people at that time.

Chen Feng also replied to him, "Sometimes, real courage actually includes this pretending to be one, which is the truth..."

It's just that more people will always remember this night. There is a fierce madman tearing the confidence of a championship team with his own hands.

(Get up late...)
