Chapter 179 I let you fly!
The Celtics' winning streak may not be unusual in the eyes of those strong teams, but if it is a strong team, who doesn't have a winning streak? The Bulls were able to play 72 wins and 10 losses at the beginning!
They only won four games in a row. In addition to the average strength of their opponents, it is not so easy for these guys to win these four games. Apart from the Grizzlies crash, the other three games are entangled until the last quarter.
At least what is reflected in the data gives the impression of others. After all, there are several games in the NBA every day, and not many people pay attention to the Celtics.
However, for competitors in the same region, the Celtics' fierce sprint really made the Raptors and the Nets a little confused. They really don't know what Rivers wants to do!
The 76ers seem very calm at this time. Well, indeed, because these guys are still busy planning how to rebuild, no matter who becomes stronger in this region, it has nothing to do with them.
At least this season, the Philadelphians are determined to play to the end. After leaving two generals, no one can stand this matter. What Chix has to do now is to prepare for next season's Jedi counterattack.
As for whether the Philadelphians can fight back successfully, it depends on what they can do in the summer, but after replacing Iverson and buying out Weber, few people are optimistic about the recovery next season.
On the other side of New York, there are some small waves, but Dolan's wronged man can't sign a good player with a checkbook. Now ordinary people really don't dare to easily go to the muddy water of the New York Knicks.
In addition, the secret war between Marbury and Thomas continues, but it has basically been made public. The two guys are almost unable to carry an AK47 pair of sprays now.
The Raptors' results have been very stable recently, but this also means that they play a little teve been teve. Those who should win and those who should lose have lost. The results are stable, but they lack explosive points.
But for a guy like Michelle, who was almost fired by the team at the beginning of the season, now stability is overwhelming! He doesn't want to continue to live a worried life. If he can enter the playoffs, it is a victory!
It can be said that the Atlantic Division has been performing normally in the previous 20 games, but from the fierce start of the Celtics, everyone's rhythm seems to be a little messy.
Even the Nets, which have always been stable, seem to have been affected by the Celtics. In their last three games, they have unexpectedly won and lost two games. This kind of trade-off is definitely not a good omen.
Originally, I thought that the Celtics who had been traded would adjust for a period of time, at least they also needed a running-in period between players and players, but those guys seemed to have skipped this running-in at all.
Completely skipped, including the game with the Grizzlies, these guys seem to be flawless with the team in this four-game winning streak, whether it is Sprewell or Novak.
It has not gone through any running-in period, and it can be used when it comes up. The result of such a transaction is not the situation that other competitors in the same area are willing to see.
Especially the old guy Sprewell, who thought this troublemaker could bring trouble to Boston, but now at this point of view, it's completely that Angie spent two million dollars to pick up a big bargain!
It's not only Frank who was a little surprised, but also those reporters who were waiting to see jokes or the bustle were also a little embarrassed. Originally, they thought that it was absolutely impossible for Spreville to play honestly.
But the facts prove that they are not only wrong, but also wrong. The old guy is not only playing seriously, but also playing very hard, even more fierce than some good guys.
In four games, with an average of 13 points and 5 assists per game, this data does not look eye-catching, but in the eyes of Frank, the head coach of the New Jersey Nets, this kind of old-fried dough stick-like guy is the most terrible existence.
Just like Kidd, the core leader of the Nets, an old guy like Sprewell, the older he is, the more valuable he is. That guy is not without talent, but his bad temper limits his achievements.
But now with a head coach like Rivers who dares to let go and let him do whatever he wants, ordinary people really can't help this famous psychopath in the NBA.
Especially in defense, although Sprewell's scoring contribution is not much and his number of shots is very limited, it is fierce when he meets the opponent's small forward or defender one-on-one.
According to the statistics of the old guy, there are only four times to break the ball, but the fierceness of the body, coupled with the slipperyness of his anti-blocking and dismantling, the opponent's small forward is often entangled by him.
In addition, there are two evil stars on the inside of the Celtics, which is completely impossible to live. In their four consecutive wins, how many times did the opponent enter the inside line and then was slapped to death.
Even if you can't beat it, it can make you afraid to be scared. At this time, you are either caught, or robbed by Rondo or Spreville behind you.
And Rivers insisted on sticking to high-intensity confrontation in these games, including personnel rotation. He asked the players to grit their teeth and restrain their opponents fiercely on the defensive end.
As for the attack, there are two animals fighting hard on the inside line, Pierce and Szebiak on the outside line, and let Nowak go up for a walk when he has nothing to do. With such an internal and external combination, the general team really can't stand it.
Contributes an average of about three three-pointers per game. Although Novak's role is not so prominent, this guy's hit rate is so high, which really makes many people a little surprised.
A guy with an annual salary hovering at the bottom of the league is about to be thrown into the development league in Houston. As a result, this guy has become a very stable scoring point.
People move alive, trees move to death. Novak's performance once again proves the wisdom of this sentence. He is now in Boston like a fish in water. Rivers can completely make this boy play the basketball he is best at.
Turning his head to look at the guy who was exchanged for Houston, Ryan Gomez hasn't even got even a minute of playing time. With McGrady, he can only sit on the bench temporarily.
Looking at the very different performance of these two guys, I really don't know what Morley, the so-called wise general manager of the Rockets, will be in what mood. Anyway, in the eyes of others, Houston is a big loss.
Frank is not in the mood to know whether it is wrong, but he already has a little crisis. Although the Nets are still the boss in the Atlantic Division, the ferocity of Boston makes Frank feel pressure.
Although the Nets are no longer the team that has reached the finals in the past few years, the personnel change here has taken away the fierce feeling at the beginning. Frank himself knows that it is difficult to regain his glory.
But Frank is still sure to take this team to set off a bloody storm in the playoffs in the Eastern Conference. No matter who encounters the Nets, he has to weigh the team's ability.
There are Carter, Kidd, Richard Jefferson and Eddie House. No matter how you look at it, this lineup is extremely competitive. Generally, teams can't get any advantage when they meet them.
Although the current rival Celtics in the same district perform well, in Frank's eyes, his team still has the ability to stop this group of Bostonians.
"Don't hesitate, even if it's at their home court, I ask you to beat each other!"
Frank usually has few words, and this guy may have more communication with Kidd, but under the fierce pursuit of the Celtics, it is also very rare for him to make a mobilization before the game.
This is not only because he has suffered two defeats recently, but also because Frank hopes to defeat his opponent away from home, so that they will maintain a double kill against the Celtics at the beginning of the season.
Once they bump into each other in the playoffs, this psychological advantage is self-evident. Frank absolutely doesn't want a recovering opponent to step on his head so smoothly!
Frank's response was very loud. With veterans such as Kidd and Carter, the Nets were confident even if they were fighting away.
However, their confidence in being the boss of the Atlantic Division suffered a blow at the beginning of the game.
Originally, Frank's little abacus was also very good. He had seen the recent games of the Celtics, so he knew that the offensive firepower of these guys was the most fierce inside, except for Pierce.
So it is rare for him to have two big men, Kerstitch and Jason Collins. These two guys are both two meters and thirteen meters tall, which is a pure cooli-type large barrier in the inside line.
Frank doesn't expect these two guys to make any special contributions on the offensive end. He only needs to lock the Celtics' internal firepower under the basket.
The task of scoring is given to Carter and Richard Jefferson, as well as Kidd's needle thread. He has the experience of defeating the Celtics at home for the first time. Frank hopes that Kidd can continue to block Ron.
But Frank didn't expect that the Nets succeeded in jumping the ball. As soon as Kidd controlled the basketball, Rondo took the initiative to paste it. Although the old Kidd tried to get rid of the entanglement, the speed was slowed down.
But with Carter as the vanguard of the ball-holding attack, Frank is not worried. He believes that the Canadian Flying Man has enough ways to deal with Tony Allen, who is in opposition to him.
Yes, Carter has the ability to get rid of it, and he has also done it. A realistic fake action of the Canadian Flying Man shook away Tony Allen's entanglement and went straight to the basket.
A series of movements of pedaling, flying, bowing, and Carter are smooth and intoxicating. This guy seems to have restored the demeanor of the original slam dunk king, from assault to taking off, without any pause.
Beautiful! Frank really wanted to cheer for such a breakthrough, but before he could squeeze his words out of his throat, he was abruptly suffoed back.
"Damn it!" Frank rarely swore on the sidelines, and the applause just now turned into his curse.
There is no way not to do this. If he doesn't scold, Frank may be suffocating to death, because he just watched the rising Carter rise from the air by a barbaric guy fiercely fanned out of the bottom line!
And the guy roared as if he was still not satisfied after landing, "I'll let you fly!" How to get up! How the fuck can you come down!"
(Second update, it's not Black Carter. I also like him very much, but since the Raptors left, Carter can't fly. Damn injury, alas, it's pitiful for him.)
