Chapter 147 Aftermath
The Celtics beat the Cavaliers at home, which makes many people feel a little incredible. After all, the Cavaliers are rarely so embarrassed by their opponents in the first dozen games.
Even when they are against strong teams like the Mavericks and the Phoenix Suns, they can basically suppress each other, and there are no defeats in the few games they lose.
It's like losing to the Hornets, because Paul suddenly went crazy in the fourth quarter and scored three three-pointers in a row, but the Cavaliers only lost two points.
But the Cavaliers' game at the North Shore Garden Arena have no control at all.
Especially the beginning and end of the game, which is completely controlled by the Bostonians. In the first quarter, the Celtics almost did not directly defeat the Cavaliers, and in the fourth quarter, Mike Brown White shouted on the sidelines for a long time.
There is no rhythm. It can be said that they have been led by the Bostonians since the first quarter of the game. They want to fight back, but they can't find the right point.
The outbreak in the third quarter is still based on too many fouls by Chen Feng and others. In addition to this quarter, the Cavaliers have been beaten throughout the game. Even if they fight back, they are not fierce enough.
What kind of control, what kind of strong team demeanor, but anyone who has watched the game doesn't think that the Cavaliers have these things. They can't see that they are the second in the East.
At least for those Boston fans, this second place in the East is really not on the same level as the Mavericks.
The previous game was lost to the Mavericks, which was purely because of insufficient strength. It was not unreasonable for them to rank so high in the West, but the Cavaliers obviously did not have that kind of deterrent.
"The Mavericks can put us enough pressure, but the Cavaliers don't feel this way. Although they have a lot of scoring points, their overall performance is not so eye-catching."
During the post-match interview, Pierce was not used to the Cavaliers' problems. In front of the reporters, he did not give any face to those Clevelands.
Rivers is very kind and doesn't say much, but he can beat the other party at home, so there is no need to express anything in words.
With one win and one defeat, it is obvious that the gap between the two sides can be compared. Losing to the Mavericks, the Boston people have no temper. Similarly, taking the Cavaliers, these guys can also pat their chests and say that we are better than them!
Whether it is strong or not must be said by others. Anyway, the Boston media agreed after the game that the Celtics suppressed the Cavaliers, so the victory was undisputed.
"This is a man's team." This is the Boston media's evaluation of the Cavaliers, although the Clevelanders' overall lineup is much thicker than that of the Celtics.
But in the eyes of that group of Boston media, the current Cavaliers are still a little tender. Don't say that they want to dominate the league. Even in the East, they are not the strongest team.
At least on the whole, the Cavaliers are not a well-structured team. They have many players who can score lazily, but few of them can play.
Hughes was also the boss of many teams, but after the start of this season, his data was even worse than that of many rookies.
Anyway, it is a big contract signed by the Cavaliers with a five-year 70 million US dollars, but this guy can only contribute 14 points in this game, which is not a key score.
Even the Cleveland media are complaining in private that the big contract has deprived them of many opportunities to increase inside players, and the management of the Cavaliers made a wrong investment.
Originally, I wanted Hughes to assist the little emperor, but in the end, the coexistence of the little emperor and Hughes is still a big problem. One person plays, and the other person must turn off the fire.
Spending a lot of money to buy a big decoration is the most embarrassing problem for the Cavaliers now. Whether inside or outside, they can't equip the little emperor with a qualified partner.
At the beginning, Master Joe was able to win three consecutive championships in the Bulls twice in a row, and there was never a lack of "Batman" like Pippen, but there was only an unconvertible helper like Hughes beside the little emperor.
14 points! 1 assist! No rebounds! No grab! After playing for almost 40 minutes, this is called Shenma Data! The little emperor looked at such a helper beside him, and his heart was probably dripping blood.
Not afraid of god-like opponents, but afraid of pig-like teammates, the little emperor is lucky to spread out the back.
Of course, even if Hughes is not strong, compared with others, he is the team's second scoring point.
Like Guden, Snow, this is the real cheating goods. Not to mention no score, Shenma rebounds, assists, all kinds of data are infinitely close to zero, which is the most deadly.
One person, when Vallejo and Irgoskas come down, the little emperor is really left with himself.
The Boston media is not wrong. No matter how you look at it, the Cavaliers are a team of one person.
Yes, you have an extremely strong little emperor, but don't think that you can challenge the whole league with both hands. LeBron James has not evolved into an invincible Joe master.
At the beginning of the season, he averaged 50+ rebounds and 20+ rebounds per game, and Chamberlain, who could score 100 points, failed to kill the Celtics. With just a little emperor, it's better not to dream of becoming a championship.
Now the Celtics are not the fiercest existence, but even such a half-baked team can stop the progress of the little emperor. It can be imagined how much the Cavaliers are.
At least in Rivers' eyes, a James can cause a lot of trouble, but with the other four waste materials, the overall ability of the Cavaliers is obviously not as good as the Celtics.
When playing against the Mavericks, they were completely stunned by the other side's frequent rotations. Then it was the Cavaliers' turn, Rivers knocked them out in the same way.
Looking at the card, it seems that the Cavaliers have an advantage, but in reality, Rivers' side is quite a bottom. There is nothing in his team that can't live without.
Of course, it will be troublesome to leave animals like Pierce and Chen Feng, but the Celtics will definitely not collapse so easily.
Murphy also wrote this sentence for the Cavaliers in his column, "James can break the records of his predecessors again and again, but he still lacks the ability to lead the team."
There is no leadership ability and no awareness of commanding the whole team. At least from Murphy's point of view, this is the case.
The little emperor can get 50+ data crazily at the North Shore Garden Arena, but when the team needed him the most, this guy did not continue to be tough with Chen Feng.
It can even be said that at the critical moment of chasing points, Chen Feng stood in front of the little emperor, and then killed the other party's attempt to fight back, and the little emperor failed to carry the team forward.
Perhaps the high-intensity confrontation of four consecutive games makes the little emperor's physical strength not as strong as the opening in the last quarter, so he will be a little hesitant when facing Chen Feng.
But Murphy pointed out rudely that if Jordan was on the court at this time, the guy would definitely hold the ball and play singles, which was a kind of strong self-confidence and definitely gave up.
At the beginning, when Master Qiao was in the finals in 1997, he could gritt his teeth and play with a feverish body with a total score of 2:2, and scored 38 points. Ordinary people don't have that kind of cruelty.
Only the team leader who is strong enough to the bone can show extraordinary fierceness at the most critical time. The little emperor can score points, but at the last moment, he is timid.
Although the Cleveland people can attribute this to the lack of support given to the little emperor by others, there is one undeniable thing that when Chen Feng posted it, James was really not resolute enough.
Even Rivers told Thibodeau after the game that if the little emperor's lethality continued to maintain that high intensity, maybe Chen Feng would have rolled back to the locker room because of six fouls.
This is the temperament of the core players. How much they usually score, at most, it is a statistics. If you don't play at a critical moment, you are not a qualified team leader.
It's just that the people of Cleveland didn't notice this. The shouting media aimed all at the bald boy who destroyed their entire inside line.
"Butcher! The executioner! That No. 99 destroyed the victory of the Cavaliers!" This kind of remark is definitely not the alarmist that the tabloid reporter estimated to attract the attention of readers, but the headline published in the more influential Cleveland Plains in Cleveland. The smell of gunpowder between the text is self-evident.
This is completely the posture of opening fire on Chen Feng. There is nothing we can do. The Cleveland people are simply too aggrieved, especially the reporters who watched the game on the spot, and they began to fight with indignation.
It shouldn't have been so angry, but after seeing how Chen Feng** Irgoskas, I guess a Clevelandian can't hold back such anger.
That's really **, and there has been news after the game that Irgoskas's fragile ankle must be suspended for about two weeks because of a sprain.
This is a relatively optimistic estimate. After all, Ilgoskas's feet have been seriously injured. In case, the Cavaliers really need to find a center before February.
It's good to say if it's Ilgoskas alone. After all, the injury of the Lithuanian giant suffered head-on against Chen Feng. There is nothing to say.
But Vallejo's side was completely calculated by Chen Feng. The unlucky Brazilian was judged to have a broken nose bone after the end of the game. In the next two months, he could only wear a special mask.
The injury process of the Brazilians was the point of the outbreak of those Clevelands. They witnessed the moment when Vallejo was hit in the nose by Chen Feng with a basketball.
"A malicious revenge under the indulgence of the referee!" This voice flew all over Cleveland and won the recognition of most people.
However, the guy who caused the accident didn't seem to have heard this kind of criticism at all. He looked like he had nothing to do with him and was continuing to practice hard with Takani and others.
According to this boy's words, the game is over, and there is no endless war of words. Is it interesting?
If you have the ability, kill me the next time you meet. Those who are shady will be seded by others. This is a must!
Let's do it first. Do you still have reason?
Please look at my mouth shape, brother, get out of here!
