Chapter 115 Rivers's Plan

It is estimated that few people are willing to suffer a failure in the rising period of the team, so Rivers also whispered a little depressed when he met the Mavericks head-on.

It doesn't mean that you can be second in the West and qualified to compete with the first in the West. Compared with the fast whirlwind of the Phoenix Suns, Dallasians are obviously more difficult to deal with.

The fact that the other side can reach the finals last season is better than the Celtics. The team that can survive the series of bloody battles in the playoffs is not so simple.

At least with the current Celtics' results, they are not qualified to despise their opponents, and that group of mad cows are for eight consecutive wins.

Although the madbulls in Dallas don't have brain-damaged players like Stadmeier, it doesn't mean that these guys plan to lose in Boston.

As their head coach Avery Johnson said, "We will try our best to win every game. The losing streak at the beginning of the season has taught me enough lessons."

It can be heard that the "Little General" is now aiming at the championship. Any opponent who tries to block the Mavericks will be crushed by the crazy bulls.

Even if this is an away game, the crazy factor in the blood of the Dallas people is enough to support them to run wild and crush anyone's home court.

I'm afraid this includes the North Shore Garden Arena. After all, in the eyes of that group of mad cows, the Celtics are now a stumbling block.

Rivers doesn't care what others think of his team. Anyway, the game needs to be played, and it doesn't rely on bragging. Even if it's a stumbling block, it has to hurt those guys' hooves.

In fact, this is just the regular season stage. Many teams can strategically give up a few games and keep the strength to take revenge in the playoffs.

But Rivers doesn't have such a plan yet, and the Celtics don't have such a plan. The team is on the rise and morale is booming. If it directly bows to the opponent and admits defeat.

Don't say whether the players are willing to accept such a failure, even Rivers himself can't stand it.

It's not easy to gather the team's popularity. Now if you play the drama of disarming and surrendering, I guess this fighting spirit will collapse immediately.

So even for the opponent who is about to meet with a headache, Rivers has to play a twelve-point spirit to study tactics and look for possible loopholes for the Mavericks.

If you can't win, put it aside first. If you retreat without a fight, that's the most humiliating. It is estimated that Boston fans will not agree.

Although the game is still two days before the game starts, Rivers has already gathered his coaching staff and began to study how to deal with the mad cow.

"Doug, are you really sure?" Pointing to the simulated starting lineup on the tactical board, Thibodeau turned his head and asked Rivers beside him seriously.

"It's nothing. You said that the boy's performance is good, and now, which guy in the team dares to say that he will definitely keep an eye on that German?"

Rivers understood what the old partner was thinking, so when he answered, he also explained his thoughts, but his words did not change Siberdeau's previous considerations.

"I said, that boy has performed really well recently, but I don't think he can complete your task, Doug, don't forget, he is facing an all-star scoring master."

Siberdou is obviously questioning the arrangement of Rivers, especially who will deal with Nowitzki. In Xiberdou's opinion, his partner is a little too trusting the boy.

"Yes, that's right. That boy defeated Stadmeier. Even if he met Wallace, he didn't fall behind, but these guys are not the same type of players as Nowitzki."

"The German entered the first team of the NBA last season, and can that boy really stop him? I'm skeptical about this arrangement.

"A big man who can throw a three-pointer with a 40% hit rate is not so easy to deal with. Don't forget that the boy didn't take any advantage in front of Weber."

If you want to refute others, Thibodeau likes to explain with facts, and what he said is indeed the same.

"I'm not denying his ability, but this task is not difficult for him."

"Experience, ability, height, he doesn't have the same advantage. I still think it's better to let Jefferson or Perkins stare at that German."

Siberdeau has always been so serious about work issues. Even when discussing things with Rivers, the regular head coach, he will directly make his ideas clear.

As for whether Rivers can accept it or not, that is his opinion as the main coach. Anyway, Thibodeau has done what he should do.

"Tom, if Jefferson is asked to keep an eye on the opponent's main scorer, it will only make us have one less stable firepower. After all, this defensive task will involve most of his energy."

Rivers knew that he could not easily convince Siberdeau, but he did not intend to give up.

At least he wants the members of the coaching staff around him to understand what he is thinking. He is not the kind of person who is arbitrary.

"We have to face the team that made it to the finals last year. Although they lost, you know how powerful these guys are."

"If we want to overturn them at the North Shore Garden Arena, we must dig every score point. Guys like Jefferson, who can contribute steadily, must use it on the blade."

"Kendrick is not tall enough, and he will suffer a big loss in foot movement. We have tried it last season, but you can see how it turned out."

"Strong, athletic ability, and most importantly, the boy will not fight against anyone."

"Although the boy is a little at a loss in height, he always has a bad idea to make up for these."

"Tom, you are right. He has a lot of disadvantages. Experience and ability may be worse than that German, but he is definitely the right person, at least I think so.

Rivers almost put all the reasons in front of Siberdo. Although he is the head coach, Rivers also hopes that his partner can understand his arrangement.

After all, in a long season, a person's brain alone can't be used. Rivers must make his coaching staff work and run-in as perfectly as possible before the start of the playoffs.

"Well, Doug, don't tell me so much. I'm actually just worried that the boy will mess it up."

Siberdeau could hear the partner's insistence from Rivers' tone, and the reasons given by Rivers also made him a little irrefutable.

"You know that he is on the rise, I don't know if he is ready to be defeated."

"As you said, I believe in his ability, but it's not that simple to kill that German. If you don't do this, it's not a big blow."

"No one knows whether self-confidence is really fragile, just like Ratliff. If you are really depressed, you really deserve to die!"

Siberdu obviously agreed with Rivers' idea. Just now, he opposed such a tactical adjustment, just because he was a little worried that if the boy couldn't handle Nowitzki, he would be hit.

"Strike, er, Tom, you definitely think too much. I promise you that there is absolutely no such nerve in that boy's mind, and he will not be so fragile."

Can that boy be hit? Rivers really wanted to say, what are you kidding? The wild boy's nerves are as strong as outer space alloy steel.

Want to destroy his self-confidence? That's a really fucking difficult task. The only thing Rivers worries about now is that the wild boy will play a little evil after he comes on the court.

However, to reach an agreement with Siberdu, Rivers finally confirmed his starting list, Chen Feng, Jefferson, Rondo, Pierce, West.

Suddenly changing the starting lineup that has been stable before, no wonder Siberdu just frowned and asked Rivers what he was thinking.

It is estimated that the members of the coaching staff around him wanted to ask Rivers if there was a mistake at that time. Chen Feng has been a substitute for most of the time since the beginning of the season.

Many people even say that if this boy keeps playing like this, he is fully capable of competing for the award of the best sixth person.

But this time Rivers suddenly changed the strategy of using Chen Feng and directly threw the boy into the starting list.

Obviously, I don't plan to leave any backhands. I have to fight with the other party when I come up! The most ferocious little madman on the bench is about to become popular with the German bayonet.

With such a somewhat non-mainstream starting lineup as Rivers, it is estimated that Avery Johnson can't predict if he wants to break his head.

Two defenders who can control the ball, two insiders of similar height type, plus a recent hot Pierce.

When meeting such a group of mad cows in good shape, Rivers can only take a non-mainstream route. After all, the opponent is quite difficult to deal with.

The Mavericks picked up any one and played in the finals. Whether it was experience or personal ability, the Celtics did not have much advantage.

Now Rivers is going to give the Dallasians a home game. Even if he can't overturn those crazy cows, he has to let the other party know the power of the Green Shirts!

Want to easily take away the victory from Boston? What's the best thing to think about? Hey, it's time to wake up. It's broad daylight. Don't dream!

However, just like Thibodeau's worry, the question Rivers has to consider now is whether Chen Feng can stop the German tank with extremely fierce firepower.

"That boy? Maybe he can really complete this difficult task." When he was left alone in the office, Rivers pinched the starting list in his hand and muttered in a low voice.

It's just that Chen Feng, as the party, doesn't know who he is going to bump into head-on.
