Chapter 143 Who is more ruthless than whom
There is another quarter of the game, which is still six points behind. This situation is really a little scratching for the current Celtics. After all, the team they are facing is the second in the Eastern Conference.
And the Cavaliers also have an omnipotent super scorer who scores 43 points in three quarters. Look at his posture, this is definitely not the final result he wants.
If there is a chance, that guy may hit 50 points, or a more exaggerated score.
This is definitely not impossible. Just looking at the expression of the little emperor at the end of the third quarter, this guy is a little eager to continue to fight.
There's nothing we can do. Who let Chen Feng make this guy lose face? The little emperor may not have been looked down on like this since he entered the NBA.
Now you can retaliate by winning the game. How can this guy let go of such an opportunity? This mentality will only make him more crazy.
Just like the time after Chen Feng went down in the third quarter, the little emperor sprinted like carrying an explosive bag every time in the attack.
If it hadn't been for Pierce interfering with him, I guess this guy could rush for ten minutes in a row.
It's not just to win the game, but this guy is going to demonstrate to Chen Feng in this way to let the big man who is depressed on the bench see his rampage.
Neither Rivers nor the Celtics will bow down to their opponents, so during the short rest period, Rivers began to adjust their lineup.
West has survived for about a quarter, and now Ronda is overwhelmed. Whether in the face of Snow or Damon Jones, Ronda is not at a loss.
And now Rivers needs Rondo's needle thread. This guy's pass is not so fancy, but it is absolutely practical. Now Rivers wants to let Rondo stabilize the rhythm.
"At our pace, no matter how the other party plays, there is still one last quarter left, and we must stabilize."
When Rivers communicates with Ron, he never talks too much nonsense. He just needs to tell the other party what to do and what he can do. The rest of the problems are solved by the boy himself.
Rondo did not answer, but nodded, indicating that he had understood that he had a break on the sidelines, and he had to wait for the last decisive moment.
Pierce took less than four minutes off in the third quarter, but now the score is falling behind, and Rivers is not going to let his core continue to rest.
For Rivers' arrangement, Pierce said that there was no problem. Although he had scored 22 points, it was still much worse than the fierce performance of the little emperor.
This makes Pierce a little unhappy. After all, it's on his own territory. Is it up to the other party? That must be impossible!
No matter what the final result of the game is, Pierce doesn't plan to let the little emperor perform endlessly by himself.
And Szebiak was also thrown on the field by Rivers, and he would continue to put pressure on the Cavaliers on the periphery.
Inside line! Now what Rivers needs to choose is not on the periphery, but on the inside. Should Jefferson match with Chen Feng, or let Jefferson and Perkins stabilize the defense first?
This is a difficult problem for the current Rivers. After all, the score is behind now, and the Celtics need to chase points. Chen Feng's offensive firepower is undoubtedly the best choice.
But Rivers has to consider not only chasing points, but more importantly, if the boy encounters Vallejo's entanglement, will he still fall into the trap and foul twice, this guy should be in the locker room.
Throughout the third quarter, from the time the little emperor reversed the score, Rivers was considering such a problem.
Is it steady or fierce!? This is a difficult multiple-choice question for Rivers.
"Man, there are still twelve minutes left. If we continue to play steadily, there may be no more mistakes, but if you want to catch up with the score, you know, it's not easy."
"We restrained the other party in the first and second quarters because the boy stayed under the basket. He could shock the opponent's attack, and even the little emperor could not break through at will."
"If we partner with Al and Kendrick, we can see it in the last few minutes of the third quarter. The score may be guaranteed, but they can't contain James in defense."
"Move, they are indeed not as fierce as the wild boy in blocking and defense. The most important thing is that the guy can have no scruples in defense, which is what we need most now."
"A sense of oppression must make the opponent feel oppressed. Only in this way can we take back the initiative. As for whether we can win, I don't know, but it's always good to fight."
When Cedarbury was still thinking about which in-line partner to go to Rivers, he whispered a few words to his partner. As an assistant coach, Cedarbury rarely communicated with Rivers so directly.
Generally, in the game, Siberdeau still puts Rivers first and lets the head coach decide most things, while he is just assisting.
"Tom, I know what you said, but..." Before Rivers finished speaking, Siberdeau took it.
"Dogg, I know what you're worried about. That boy is sometimes very impulsive, but he is definitely not an idiot. Believe him, you should find a way to control the situation."
"Old man, it's the regular season. Give him some confidence. Even if he loses, it's not the end."
Thibodeau didn't say much, but it was enough for Rivers to make up his mind to let Jefferson's partner Chen Feng first.
Since there is no way out, let's fight back. As for fouls and so on, no one will care about those at this time.
It's just that Rivers still told Chen Feng, "Kid, remember, don't be fooled by Brazilians easily, and you have to control your temper."
"You can foul, but don't lose your mind by that guy. I need you to bring trouble to the other party after playing, instead of throwing the trouble on our side."
Chen Feng doesn't feel like he is eager to try at all now, but his whole body has become a little quiet and has been listening carefully to every word that Rivers said.
"Don't worry, boss, if I'm really dizzy, you can replace me immediately. I promise that I will make those Cleveland people deeply realize what the consequences are to offend me."
When he said this, Chen Feng kept pinching the joints of the two hands. The rattling sound made the people around him feel a little shocked.
After explaining Chen Feng, Rivers yelled at the big men in front of him, "There are still twelve minutes left. Give me this group of bitches!"
There is no need to say anything more. With the warm-up of the first three quarters, the Celtics' mood has long been enough. With such a simple sentence as Rivers, it is enough to ignite them.
After the Cavaliers finally reversed the score, they would never be willing to be turned over by their opponents in the fourth quarter, so Mike Brown voted for the most effective player.
Needless to say, the little emperor is still waiting to break his scoring record. Damon Jones feels good now. Compared with Old Snow, his scoring ability is stronger.
As for Hughes, he can appear again after a ten-minute break. His involvement ability is still very considerable on the periphery. At least he can make Szebiak afraid to move easily.
And inside, Mike Brown withdrew Guden and prepared Irgoskas, who had rested for most of the time.
At the last critical moment, the Cavaliers need the height of the inside line, and Vallejo hits each other under the basket, and the Lithuanian Giants can also wait for the right time to defend and block.
Anyway, whether the Celtics are Jefferson and Perkins, or Jefferson and Chen Feng's partners, Mike Brown decided to let Vallejo pester the one who is most likely to score.
"Continue to guard, look for every opportunity to make trouble, and don't let them have a chance to score easily." This is the order Vallejo got before playing.
Mike Brown's idea is very simple. Anyway, no matter who is attacking on the inside, let Valejo kill the other party and find an opportunity to make a foul.
And Vallejo's performance in the third quarter is really good. His defensive strength is obviously stronger than Gooden. At least in the opposite position, this guy is not at all.
Now Mike Brown wants to use this guy's unique skill and tough attitude to contain the Celtics' inside line. As long as he can hold them back, he will complete the task.
If this guy can get rid of Jefferson or Chen Feng, then Mike Brown will never mind. As long as those guys get into trouble, the little emperor will have a chance.
Mike Brown's idea is good, but he forgets one thing. There is always a gap between reality and ideals, and sometimes that gap will catch you off guard.
When he saw Chen Feng and Jefferson appear on the court together, Mike Brown secretly drew a comparison to Vallejo, signaling this guy to stick to Chen Feng.
How troublesome that boy is? Mike Brown knows that if he can control that boy, the Celtics' internal impact will be much smaller, and the defensive strength will be reduced by a higher level.
But before Mike Brown's abacus sounded, the Celtics' first attack had already exploded in the Cavaliers' hinterland.
After serving at the bottom line, Rondo's dribble rushed in faster than ever, which made Damon Jones only retreat and could not get stuck at all.
But Rondo didn't intend to solve the problem by breaking through at all. This guy directly stunned Jones by breaking through to the bottom line. There was a gap, and the passing was naturally there.
The ground pass was accurately delivered to Chen Feng, who received the ball in the back basket in the three-second zone on the left.
Vallejo posted it directly. His task was to pester Chen Feng, and then wait for this guy to make a mistake. With the previous two experiences, the Brazilian still wanted to take advantage of it.
But before Vallejo could hold his heels and open his hands, he saw Chen Feng turn to the right and a half, ready to wipe it directly from the bottom line.
What a fast speed. This is probably Vallejo's first reaction. He is directly ready to stop Chen Feng in one step. If he is lucky enough, he can also let the other side carry another offensive foul.
The Brazilian thinks it's good, but when this guy went out across that step, he couldn't stop Chen Feng, but bumped into an equally strong big man.
Jefferson's blocker! When Vallejo understood, Chen Feng had already crossed his defensive area.
A beautiful block is enough for Chen Feng to grasp the gap, and the guy not only completed a turn away from the defense, but also held the ball in front of Irgoskas.
The Lithuanian's movement speed was too slow, so he couldn't get stuck with Jefferson, and such a misalignment made him directly meet Chen Feng, who had already cut in under the basket.
Take off in the air, burst out! When Ilgoskas' hands were raised high, he was facing Chen Feng's superhuman bouncing power.
Ilgoskas, who is more than 2,000 meters and 20 meters tall, has no bounce in the first place. His defensive movements on tiptoe are like a screen, but this screen is still a little short for some people.
And Chen Feng did not give Irgoskas any chance to retreat. Facing those hands, his wild power was released in an instant. The heavy pressure falling from the air was like the attack of an eagle's predation.
Breaking through the block of his hands, he pressed the heavy dunk of Irgoskas, who was 20 centimeters taller than himself. Just like the opponent's defensive action, Chen Feng's attack was also two hands.
Siberdu once said that Chen Feng's explosive power is horrible and amazing. Now Irgoskas is feeling this amazing horror.
The raised hands were pressed back stiffly, and then the pressure of the other party's whole person was completely pressed on Irgoskas.
The impact made the Lithuanian giant sit directly on the floor, and the guy hanging on the basket had just let go of his hand and fell from the air.
The pain from his feet made Ilgoskas not even have the strength to stand up. Originally, he had rested for most of the time, which restored his physical strength a lot, but this impact instantly defeated him.
The Lithuanian physique is not the type that can fight with others, and both feet have suffered serious injuries. If it hadn't been for the fact that he was always floating on the outside line, he might have retired due to injuries.
But this time Chen Feng's sudden misplaced attack did not give the Lithuanians any space to hide, and he rushed directly to the front, which made Irgoskas have to fight hard.
As a result, the end of the hard top is that the two feet bear most of the impact, especially the kind of pressure during the physical confrontation, which directly made Irgoskas collapse.
This guy's nerves did not collapse, but his feet could no longer withstand this strong confrontation. When Chen Feng finished scoring, he could only sit on the floor and cover his ankles tightly.
Chen Feng didn't have the purpose of hurting people, but the fierce power of this guy really made many people unbearable, not to mention that he was an old and injured patient.
Who is more ruthless than who!? Now Chen Feng has given his own answer to Mike Brown.
Aren't you going to block me? Have you seen the results now?
Come on! Keep blocking me! Let's see who died worse in the end!
In the face of Chen Feng's threatening and fierce roar, Mike Brown is really not in the mood to respond now.
Nima! Can this guy be more ferocious!? This time, it hurt my main center!
If possible, now Mike Brown really has the idea of giving Chen Feng a shuttle.
That evil guy...
