Chapter 126 Mad Cows

He took nearly 20 minutes with the starting lineup. I guess Johnson didn't expect such a fierce game scene. Similarly, Rivers actually did not consider that the confrontation on the field would be so hot.

A boost in the locker room is not all Johnson has to do. In addition to cheering up the big people, he has to think about how to make trouble for Rivers' team.

Anyway, I am also NO.1 in the West, and I was cut off by the midstream team in the East, which not only made a bad start to the away trip in the East, but also hit morale.

Originally, a seven-game winning streak has made the Mavericks' morale high now. If the opponent turns over so directly, it will definitely be difficult to play the next two games.

In order to lay down his ranking in the West and to give his opponent a downbeat, Johnson will not allow his team to collapse so easily no matter how much he thinks about it.

Frightened by a wild boy? If this is spread, does the Mavericks still need to play in the West? Be the boss? It is estimated that this failure will become the laughing stock of others.

Johnson will not make himself a loser who will be laughed at, so after shouting those voices, he directly made a substitution adjustment. He has more cards than Rivers.

The Mavericks have saved his character for several years before they get such a tough player who can fight well. Johnson is far luckier than Nelson Sr.

Diop, who had already broken down a little, was replaced by Johnson, and Dampeer did not take over.

"Dirk, you retreat to the basket. Since the boy came to you, the problem will be solved by you. Is there a problem?"

Looking at Nowitzki's eyes, Johnson asked seriously, but at this moment, he was not asking for the core opinions of his team, but assigning tasks.

This situation is rare. Johnson rarely uses such a tone for the absolute core of a team like Nowitzki.

"No problem." The German's response was simple, straightforward, and there was no hesitation at all.

And Nowitzki has been staring at Chen Feng, who was raging on the field in the whole second quarter. His eyes are about to be angry. I guess he has long wanted to fight with Chen Feng.

"OK, then you can retreat to the inside line and keep an eye on that guy. The other party will probably open up the situation on the inside line. Austin will help you complete the defense on the weak side."

Maybe no one can predict that Johnson will make such a move in an unfavorable situation. Chen Feng was originally ready to fight against Nowitzki.

But the Germans didn't give him this opportunity, and now Johnson directly sent this opportunity to Chen Feng. The Mavericks players are a little confused now.

But Johnson didn't explain too much. He just arranged his tactical adjustments step by step.

Austin Croschild was replaced. He replaced Diop, who was collapsing, and the height of the Mavericks' entire inside line suddenly decreased after the substitution.

Many people don't think that Crohill, who is already old, can be better than Diop, but Johnson doesn't question Crohill's ability, because this guy doesn't expect much at all.

For a veteran who comes to hang out later in his career, you can only hope that he can play some residual heat, rather than taking on any heavy responsibilities.

"Ostine, your task after playing is to firmly stick yourself to the No. 99, don't leave him, help Dirk under the basket and resist him!"

Johnson's words were explained to the assistant coaches of the Mavericks. He didn't intend to ask Crohill to contribute any rebounds, scoring or assists.

The task of the white power forward after playing is to firmly stick to the big man who is raging inside them, which is purely a consumable.

Not only that, Johnson also called Josh Howard to his side. This guy's task is also to retract to near the three-second zone and do everything possible to interfere with the Celtics' internal attack.

Whether it's Jefferson holding the ball or Chen Feng holding the ball, this guy must resolutely execute the bag!

Bag clip! It is estimated that the coaching staff of the Mavericks were also a little confused when they heard this, because they didn't expect that Johnson would pay so much attention to that wild boy.

Nowitzki did not enjoy the treatment of bag, but for Chen Feng's defense, it has been used by Johnson.

Although the coaching staff of the Mavericks said that there is no need to give the wild boy such a star-level treatment.

But Johnson didn't care about other people's opinions, and his response was just one sentence, "If a guy who can blow up my two insideers is not worth my attention? Then who deserves my attention?"

Anyway, in the eyes of the "little general" at this moment, the beast-like wild boy is more threatening than Pierce. That guy is like a thorn in the inside line, which is simply deadly!

Damn it, if you don't get rid of that guy completely, the Mavericks won't have a good life!

Bag clip? Why not? As long as the boy can be trapped to death, Johnson is willing to use more despicable means!

It is estimated that there are only crazy guys like Chen Feng who can make Johnson so broken.

Lock up that madman! Then solve the problem of others! Since Rivers let the boy attack, the Mavericks can risk their main attacker to play a confrontation!

Now Johnson is completely in a posture of going to fight the inside line. Yes, the inside line of the Mavericks is weak, but the thickness of the Mavericks is not comparable to that of the Celtics.

You have a fierce Chen Feng, so who else do you have? Jefferson? Or Perkins? I may not be as good as you, but I will firmly trap you!

I can even let Nowitzki focus on the competition under the basket. Don't forget that this is a group of mad cows from Dallas. There is not only one fire point!

Even if I risk my trump card, I can also attack you, a group of hateful Bostonians, with sharp advances!

"Harris, you're ready to play. When the inside line is glued, I need your breakthrough and shooting, not only you, but also Terry."

"The big man of the Celtics is entangled in order to create space for you to make a breakthrough. No matter who, as long as there is a chance, let me break through to the inside line, open the gap, and create space for the attacking players outside the three-point line! You just need to remember one thing, which is to defeat them with an attack!"

Terry, Harris, Howard, Nowitzki and Johnson threw almost the most accurate group of pitchers under theirs on the court, except for Crohill's meat shield.

Sacrifice a point to give the rest of the people room to explode. After verbal encouragement, Johnson needs to let this group of bloodthirsty mad cows smell the opportunity to tear their opponents.

Rivers is not God. He didn't expect Johnson to play so aggressively. Although the Celtics also made tactical adjustments in the locker room, they were still a little slower than the other team.

In particular, Chen Feng didn't expect that his crazy 5-minute performance directly forced the German in front of him. At the beginning of the third quarter, the two of them were consumed under the basket.

Originally, when Rivers saw the other party's substitution, he thought that Cro Hill was going to defend Chen Feng, but before he recovered, he saw Nowitzki began to take the initiative to make trouble.

With the smooth cooperation in the second quarter, Rondo rushed in with the ball at the beginning. When he saw Chen Feng, he threw his hand and passed the ball, waiting for the guy to hit the basket again.

But Chen Feng just received the ball. Before he could turn around, a pair of long arms stretched out and almost directly slapped off the basketball in his hand.

"Oh, I'll go!" Chen Feng just wanted to say that the big white man who came up was quite flexible.

As a result, Chen Feng suddenly found that the one behind his back was not Croshire who had just come up.

It's a German with a golden head. The guy opened a pair of big hands and couldn't retreat behind Chen Feng's back. He almost won by stealing the ball just now.

Originally, he wanted to trouble the other party, but as soon as Now Novitzki stood behind Chen Feng, the fierce guy frowned instead.

It was not only Chen Feng who frowned, but Rivers also felt a little tricky at this moment. Originally, it was to let Chen Feng force one of the other party's main scoring points to stare at himself.

Now this goal has been achieved, but Rivers can obviously feel that this is Johnson's planned tactic, not the German who was forced to fight.

When you dig a trap and wait for your opponent and find that the animal is already standing in the pit, it doesn't feel good.

And such a sudden change made Chen Feng unable to play with all his strength in this attack. Crohill stirred next to him, forcing him to pass the ball out of the three-point line again.

Pierce dodged Howard's entanglement and shot one step within the three-point line, but the basketball came out of the basket and did not get into the basket as expected.

In the competition for rebounding, although Chen Feng took the lead in touching the basketball with his bounce, Nowitzki's height and long arms made him unable to make up the basket.

Not only did he have no chance to make up for the basket. Chen Feng wanted to grasp the basketball plan, but he failed to realize it. He just watched the basketball wipe his finger and fly out of the bottom line.

The strategy of one defense and one block worked. This kind of sandwich biscuit-like defensive strength really made Chen Feng feel uncomfortable.

"The boy was in trouble. The other party actually used a bag to defend, and sacrificed Nowitzki to trap him. I swear, Howard was also retreating just now, and the target was also Chen Feng."

Siberdeau looked at the situation on the court and had to swung his mouth helplessly about Johnson's idea.

Use this defensive strategy to deal with a novice, damn it! This is almost to catch up with Old Nelson's shark-cutting tactics! Don't do too many fouls, just just surround others.

Siberdu wants to scold the street. Similarly, Rivers also wants to, but what he is more worried about at this moment is what Chen Feng is thinking.

That boy has never encountered this kind of focused attention treatment. At most, it is a one-on-one like Stadmayer and Rashid. This level of attention is indeed a little beyond everyone's expectation.

It turned out that Rivers's worry was not unreasonable. When Nowitzki devoted all his energy to the death of Chen Feng, the fierce inside attack just now lost his sharp edges and corners.

Nowitzki is not the kind of natural defensive player. In addition to having a big man, this guy's defensive ability is not strong, but Johnson threw a meat shield beside him, plus a haunted Howard. This kind of substitution tactic of substitution and substitution has caused trouble for Chen Feng.

Chen Feng is so capable of moving Nowitzki, but with such a pestering guy behind him, it is not as simple as squeezing away Diopu, and the other party's footsteps are quite agile.

This makes Chen Feng a little uncomfortable, but what makes Chen Feng a little uncomfortable is still Crohill's dead paste tactic, which completely treats himself as a sticky cake.

Dead post, the real dead post, even if Perkins runs out of the air on the other side, Crohill will turn a blind eye and completely looks like Chen Feng.

That kind of protection is completely to press your hands on Chen Feng, and then go up and down, left, left and right, all kinds of touches, all kinds of advantages.

Chen Feng wanted to roar, "What the hell are you doing here to play? Or are you here to be a do-do-do? It's your sister! I'm not a woman! Damn it, let's talk about it. You're still working hard!"

A Nowitzki is difficult enough to deal with, and now with such a shameless product, Chen Feng really has a headache.

Although Chen Feng's fierce strength is still tough, and the offensive firepower under the basket has not been greatly affected, the smooth feeling is always destroyed by the other party.

Nowitzki spared no effort to keep an eye on him, giving his teammates a chance to pick up, and his big hands could also create some interference for Chen Feng at the critical moment.

At the first time of the third quarter, Chen Feng's four attacks could only be scored twice. Although he scored four points, the state that each ball must be played hard was no longer as comfortable as before.

If you want to score a goal, you must break free from Nowitzki's defense and deal with Crohill's harassment. This kind of high-intensity bag really makes Chen Feng very awkward.

It not only increases physical consumption, but also affects the stability of his attack under the basket.

The interference of close hand-to-hand combat will always affect the accuracy of his shot. He has four strong attacks and only won twice. This state is definitely bad news for the Celtics.

Otherwise, Rivers would not have paced back and forth on the sidelines, and there would be a little more serious expression on his dark face.

This is Johnson's treatment for Chen Feng. Even Jefferson has never enjoyed such a bag clip, but Chen Feng is such a stunned young man, which made Johnson sacrifice the bag clip strategy.

It's not a double bag, or even three people. Howard's amazing guy retreated and took a hand when he had nothing to do. Chen Feng almost got it twice.

Although Rivers saw the situation was wrong and directly replaced by Pierce and Jefferson, the defensive strength of the Mavericks seemed to have suddenly increased by two levels.

The replenishment of the outside line, the change of defense of the inner line, the whole rhythm seems to suddenly accelerate, and everyone pounces on their defensive objects as if they were playing for their lives.

Even the defensive scarred players such as Terry and Harris began to play with their lives on the defensive end, and the corners of the Dallas people were completely polished.

The smoothness of the offensive end makes Rivers a little melancholy, but compared with the defensive end, it is much better. At least Chen Feng is rooted in the inside line and Jefferson is responding. They can always get points.

And Pierce feels really good today. He has already scored three three three-pointers on the periphery.

But as soon as the Mavericks were fierce, the Celtics' biggest weakness was exposed.

There is a shortage of personnel. At least the firepower output in the score is indeed one level worse than that of the other party.

The second energy-saving pursuit of points is also because Chen Feng hit Diop on the inside line. With the ultra-high hit rate, they can catch up all the way, only one point behind the other side.

But after the suspension adjustment of the Mavericks, and the insiders began to contain Chen Feng's attack. After strangled such a point, the remaining group of guys pestered Jefferson with all their strength.

"Don't let the other party open the situation on the inside line! Entangle them! You can let these guys fire at medium and long distances! But you must stay intrusive and not let them find opportunities too easily.

This is Johnson's tactical adjustment. He knows that it is not easy to completely block the Celtics. At least there is a little madman under the basket, which is a big trouble.

But the intention of the "little general" is to block the inside line, let the Celtics' most confident offensive fire point get entangled, and then let go of the outside shooting appropriately.

The Celtics are not the Suns, and they can't afford to rain three points. As long as they put a little pressure on Szebiak, even if they miss Pierce's point, they can weaken the opponent's offensive firepower.

Johnson doesn't believe that Pierce can suddenly get a 100% shooting accuracy. As long as the guy doesn't shoot, it's a chance for the Mavericks.

As for Rondo, that guy's shooting is almost negligible, which is the main reason why Johnson dares to let go.

Scars! Rondo's shot is definitely the biggest scar of the Celtics!

Just like when a columnist commented on this rookie, he once said that if Rondo's shooting could have half the accuracy of Brandon Roy, he would be perfect.

On this issue, there is another joke in the Celtics. When the Cavaliers were playing, everyone shouted at James, "Hey, buddy! You're passing the ball!"

The little emperor will definitely reply after a violent dunk, "Brother, no."

If it's the Celtics turn to play, everyone is shouting, "Hey, Rondo, you're a shot!"

Ron Do said to everyone with a helpless face, "Brother, I really can't."

Even a kind man like Sibodu often mentions Rondo when he has nothing to do and tells the boy whether it's time to practice shooting, otherwise, his conventional weapon will only pass the ball.

Although there are seven or eight assists in the game, you can't always score. Even a defensive coach like Siebodu is a little unconcerable.

But this is Rondo, the guy like ET, who is insulated from shooting most of the time.

Er, it can't be described as unstable shooting. This guy rarely fires on the periphery and scores. It often relies on breakthroughs and strange throws.

However, this guy's attitude towards rebounds and assists is really positive. Chen Feng often has to yell at this guy, "Do you dare not grab the rebound with me? Damn, five or six at a time, you really think you're a C! I not only have to guard against each other, but I have to always guard against you!"

There is such a guy floating on the outside line, but he doesn't have to worry about throwing a three-pointer unscrupulously. Johnson's heart is so deep.

He dared to carry out the bag so fiercely to let the Celtic engine expose his biggest weakness.

Don't you have two candidates for the best rookie in Rivers? Then I will make your best the biggest scar, the wild boy trapped under the basket, and then I have to let Ron be at a loss in the face of the vacancy!

Johnson just let Rondo lose his rhythm and go inside? There are enough people. There is no room for the basket. Even if there is, you have to risk being covered.

If this guy doesn't take action on the outside, the Mavericks' bag will be more fierce! Entangled with others!

And on the offensive end, the Mavericks' crazy firepower covered every corner, and Nowitzki didn't have to go on his own like in the first and second quarters.

There is Terry, Harris and Howard. Although Crohill can't contribute much, Chen Feng must now focus most of his energy on defending Now. It seems difficult to make up for the defense.

And most of the Mavericks' firepower points are concentrated on the periphery. The three guys who have the ability to break through with the ball have caused a lot of trouble for Pierce and Ron.

He can stare to death, but he can't prevent the action of these guys, especially the guy Harris. The starting speed is amazing. Once Rdo is distracted, he can cut in immediately.

This guy with a strong individualistic style not only made the jump shot feel hot and scary, but also made Jefferson suffer a lot when he cut into the basket.

The speed is too fast. In order to prevent him, Jefferson only opens his hands to increase the defensive area, but this method is difficult to avoid physical contact. Fouls are inevitable, and Harris is creating this opportunity.

In the first five minutes of the third quarter, Jefferson committed two fouls on Harris. In addition to the previous one, Jefferson could only be replaced by Rivers again.

But Perkins, who replaced him, couldn't stop Harris, who had gone crazy. The rising guy who had killed completely ignored all defenses, that is, he rushed with the ball.

Even if Perkins pressed his hands on his face, this guy could put the basketball into the basket. This unbridled attack spread to everyone in the Mavericks.

The team scored 35 points in a single quarter, and six three-pointers were thrown from the outside, with a shooting rate of nearly 70%. This is the response given by the Mavericks. The difference between the two teams was once again pulled to 11 points.

When Rivers stood on the sidelines, he didn't say a word. The previous two timeouts did not make the Celtics' attack any good. The shooting rate of less than 40% kept the team passive.

"Crazy, that group of crazy cows in Dallas are completely crazy this time." If Cedarwood is by his side, he will definitely hear Rivers muttering something.

Rivers didn't expect that in the third quarter, the Dallasman would suddenly burst out and suppress the Celtics' crazy assault with an oppressive attack.

That group of damn mad cows... It's fucking terrible to be crazy...
