Chapter 153 A Group of calves
The game is difficult to play, which is Rivers' first reaction. Not because he saw those crazy fans, but after seeing the Bulls' player, Thibodeau could feel that his opponent was full of fighting spirit.
In the first dozen games, the Bulls had eight home games. They only lost one game, because they bumped into the hot Suns head-on.
If it hadn't been for the amazing efficiency of the fast attack bombardment led by Nash, it is estimated that the Bulls would not have lost their unbeaten results at home, but in that game, they only lost four points in the end.
Thanks to Nash's steal and a three-pointer at the last minute, without this guy's brave performance, the Bulls would never easily bow their heads at home and admit defeat.
For this kind of fierce calf, it is enough to have one defeat. No one can say anything about the away game, but at home, these guys obviously plunder the victory with the attitude of winning if they can win.
And guys like Skells will not easily lose to their opponents in the Eastern Conference. Although the Celtics have been in good shape recently, for the Bulls, they are also ready to overturn their opponents.
It's not only that the players are ready, but also the fans in the United Center Arena are crazy. They welcome the arrival of the visiting team like a tsunami.
Of course, this kind of tsunami is definitely not to catch up for them. That kind of heartbreaking roar is more like threatening them, a kind of pressure that expects opponents to be timid from entering the field.
Especially when the Bulls' gang of calves came out of the player channel in turn, the sound of intimidation instantly turned into cheers, just like when they began to welcome the second three consecutive championships ten years ago.
These little guys who watched them grow up were not as domineering as Joe's when he was in power, but the momentum made the Bulls fans excited, which was a vigorous feeling.
When Master Joe first joined the Bulls, that is, at their age, in terms of their performance in the first few years, these calves are not inferior, even much better than the original Bulls.
In the first seven years of Joe's ownership, their record in the playoffs is not as good as now. The regular season is only supported by one person, but now the Bulls have a group of geniuses!
In the eyes of Bulls fans, they have reason to look forward to the future rise. At least God won't let them wait too long. With this group of talented calves, the Bulls can reach the championship podium again!
Hinrich, Du Hong, Gordon, these calves are worshipped by fans under the sweep of the lights.
After working here for two years, they have begun to get used to this fanatical atmosphere, especially at the beginning when many people doubted their ability, but now, all of this no longer exists.
That's the view that is reversed by strength and record. It took them two years to lay down their own territory in Chicago. Now, they need to defend the honor here.
That is not the past that belongs to Master Joe, but their present. Listen to the cheers of those fans, crazy live DJs, and enthusiastic fans are shouting their names.
When the Bulls' fierce man got out of the player channel, the cheers had reached its peak, and the 10,000 people in the whole Union Center Arena stood on their seats waving their hands.
This is their home court, this is their territory, the Bulls' hot scene, which gives the Celtics a standard downmarket.
Those hands waving in the air swayed for a minute, and the excitement of the fans also stimulated the new generation of the Bulls.
Like the red silk cloth waving in the hands of Spanish bullfighting, the mood of the fans has made these calves start to secrete adrenaline crazily.
Rivers can even imagine that if he let go of those guys now, the group of calves will definitely come up with their horns, and he will definitely pick over their group of outsiders.
A fierce breath began to spread in the United Center Arena. When Rivers looked at this scene, he said in a low voice, "That guys are really lucky."
It's really lucky. Once other teams start to rebuild, they may sink for a few years, like the Celtics, which are more than 20 years away from the championship.
But after losing the blessing of Joe, the Bulls were able to catch Brand. When Brand left, they could still get such a talented novice.
Two years ago, many people may have commented on the youngness of the Bulls, so now, it is estimated that most teams are envious of their talent.
No one can imagine that in just two years, when the rookie contract of these guys has not expired, the Bulls have begun to become an important force in the East, which makes no one dare to underestimate.
But now Rivers is not in the mood to care how strong his opponent can be in the future. Can he become a blocker for the Celtics to compete for the first place in the Eastern Conference?
At this moment, what Rivers is concerned about is how this guy will play with him at home. The fierceness of the Bulls really makes Rivers a little worried.
After all, this is the opponent's home court, and looking at the momentum in front of them, it is obvious that the Bulls intend to take them at home, especially when they have just lost to the Milwaukee Bucks.
Taking advantage of your illness and killing you, this is absolutely a universal rule. No matter whether it is the jungle or the NBA, as long as you let your opponent see your bad luck, you will definitely step on hundreds of millions of feet immediately, so that you will never turn over.
Rivers was annoyed that he lost to Milwaukee, but he didn't want this kind of thing to be the reason for the Bulls to despise him. Even if it was at the opponent's home court, the Celtics didn't want to bow their heads.
"Pierce, Jefferson, Chen Feng, Rondo, Tony Allen, you five starters. Remember, they beat us as soon as you think about it. No matter what you use to get rid of this stupid idea, yes, they are the third in the East, much higher than our ranking, but we won't admit defeat. "
Originally, before the opening, Rivers just wanted to tell his team members to be calm and calm, not to be absent-minded, and the most important thing is not to make a slow fever.
But seeing such a fanatical atmosphere at the Bulls' home court, he knew that if he said this nonsense again, he would be turned to the ground by his opponent and directly poked to death by those sharp horns.
So Rivers is not so cranky and continues to say some usual nagging words. When he comes up, he comes straight to the team members and makes it clear that he is not going to accept failure.
Especially in this fanatical atmosphere, it is not terrible to be defeated by the opponent, but if you are held by the Bulls from the beginning, you don't have to fight when you meet the opponent in the future, and the psychological barrier will run out at any time to make trouble.
Throwing the most important cards in his hand, Rivers has already planned to start the game with the other party.
Looking at the Bulls' calf, the angry eyes and excitement, Rivers didn't plan to play any soft knife with the other side, because that didn't work at all.
The Bulls are now at a point of excitement. If they go crazy, anything can happen. This is not something you can do if you want to be stable.
Rivers naively thinks that he is an old-fashioned team like the Spurs or the Pistons. The Celtics are not qualified to play Tai Chi with the Bulls.
Once the opponent goes crazy, the Celtics are designated to collapse. Even if they can recover and fight back, it is also a state of struggling to win points. It is actually difficult to win back the disadvantage.
So Rivers has made up his mind. Since the opponent is ready to be fierce, don't be polite. Let's go crazy together.
Listening to Rivers's word-for-word warning, Pierce nodded first. There was nothing to say. The enthusiasm of the opponent's home fans had stimulated these green-shirted bandits.
"No problem, let these guys have a good look. We are awesome." Pierce is the most experienced among the main players of the Celtics, so he must be stable.
Rondo and Jefferson's team members also said that there was no problem. As for Chen Feng, Rivers was too lazy to ask him. The boy didn't know that he was nervous at all, so it was useless to ask.
I guess the boy is waiting to play now. Once released, he will be a mad dog.
The starting lineup of the Celtics has been finalized, and Skells on the Bulls is also mobilizing troops, and this guy is about the same as Rivers' thinking and is preparing to eat the Green Shirts.
"The other side just lost to Milwaukee. No matter what their current state is, I just want to tell you that this is the United Center, our home court, no matter who comes, we will defeat them!"
Skeles is not the kind of ** coach. He has played in the NBA for ten years and knows how to live in this league, but his tough personality always makes him have all kinds of problems when communicating with players.
It is estimated that this is also the problem he kept when he was a player, so when he coached the Suns, he had friction with the players and was finally directly taken down by the management of the Suns.
Now it has been more than three years since he came to the Bulls, and Skiles' temper has not changed much. It's just that a novice under him gives him face, and his record is good, so everyone can coexist peacefully.
As the head coach, Skiles' toughness can still inject a fierce feeling into the team. Now he asks the players to be tougher, and it's better to give the opponent a blow!
Du Hong, Hinrich, Raul Deng, Nosioni, Wallace, Skearls threw their strongest starting lineup at the beginning.
And the Bulls did not have any hesitation. At the beginning, Raul Deng defeated Jefferson in the jump ball and directly played basketball. Hinrich took the ball from the three-point line and shot instantly.
Pierce was just a stunned man, and the other party had already scored. This blitz mode made Rivers not say a word on the sidelines.
The Celtics tried to fight back, but Rondo's pass to Pierce was broken by Du Hong before Pierce's hand, and Nocioni's fast attack added two more points.
5 to zero, less than 20 seconds after the start of the game, the group of calves sitting in the center of the town has shown their horns.
