Chapter 181 Unstoppable

The opponents of the New Jersey Nets in the Atlantic Division, from the day they rise, only the 76ers led by Iverson can compete with them, and the rest, like New York and the Raptors, are not a threat to them.

Especially in these four or five seasons, with Kidd as the leader, the New Jersey Nets have completely overwhelmed the New York team in this acre of land, as if they had become the boss of this field.

Although they have been trying to squeeze into the metropolis of New York and want to gain a foothold in Brooklyn, the plan of the new stadium has been hanging, and now the Nets are at most a New York suburban team.

However, there is Kidd in charge and Frank in charge of the coach. These guys from New Jersey have been able to steadily occupy the leading position in the Atlantic Division, and rarely fluctuate in their performance.

Even if their strength is not as fierce as the previous two seasons, in the Atlantic Division, only when Iverson is there, he can lead the team to attack them, and the remaining opponents are not afraid.

At least in Frank's mind, before the start of the new season, especially when the 76ers pushed down and rebuilt, he did not regard the other opponents in the region as a potential threat.

This is a kind of self-confidence. Frank doesn't think there is any other team in this region that can knock down the Nets. He also focuses more on his playoff opponents.

But when the Celtics completed the transaction, the original order was instantly changed. The New Jerseyers, who had always thought that they could continue to hold the boss position in the Atlantic Division, hit an iron plate this time.

Frank was actually careful before he came to Boston. After all, this is related to the top battle in the region, although many people still think that Boston does not have the strength to overturn the Nets for the time being.

But according to Frank's cautious personality, he doesn't think he has much advantage.

But the defense is always passive, and Frank can't figure out how fierce the Celtics can play.

But in front of his stable tactics, at the beginning, the bandits in green uniforms have already showed their bayonets. The posture of trying their best when they come up is really a little unbearable.

Regardless, the Celtics came up to the Nets and hit the Nets with a stuffy stick, the inside line, the outside line, but wherever they can see the living, these guys will fight extremely fiercely.

Especially the bald-headed wild boy, he simply made Frank rub his hands angrily on the sidelines. He really had nothing to do with that animal, so he could only look at him overturning under the basket.

Although Collins is more than two meters and ten meters tall, the general grid is also a barrier in the Nets, but in front of Chen Feng's impact, he is like a sand dam fighting against the turbulent tide.

It's really that he can't stop him from eating milk. It's not that Collins doesn't work hard, but that he really can't stand Chen Feng's fierce charge. Every time he hits him, his ribs hurt faintly.

Completely hard, there is no retreat, no fake action, just let you look at me jump and look up. Whether you are taking off the cover or carrying it hard, Chen Feng has a way to push the basketball into the basket.

When the first quarter was over, Frank already knew that something was wrong, although the score was only 29:27, and the Celtics led by two points to end the first quarter.

But Frank, a coach who has been in the NBA for several years, can still smell the danger from it. The inside line only scored 4 points and 5 rebounds for the Nets, which is the full contribution of Kerstage and Collins.

The inside attack is not smooth, which was what Frank had estimated before the game. After all, the Nets' inside attack is not as strong. Even in the two years of entering the finals, their inside attack is not very strong.

But at this moment, Frank misses the big Hanken Jan Martin who has gone far away from Denver. Although the guy's offensive skills are extremely rough, at least the animal can grab the rebound.

Think about when Martin was there, although the attack was not very efficient, this guy could control the rebound well in every game, at least not let the opponent so aggressively on the inside line.

However, this slightly complaining idea is at most in Frank's head.

No one can change the opinion of the team's management. Frank is just a good coach.

Even if he is unhappy, he has to put up with it. Whether he wants it or not, anyway, the Nets' internal lineup is just like this. Do you want to trade? Then you can wait. The boss hasn't planned for the time being.

No scoring, no rebounds, no blocks, this is the inside line of the Nets, completely a group of three no personnel.

Therefore, Frank didn't expect these guys to lock out the fierce offensive firepower of the Celtics, but he really didn't expect that the bandits in green clothes could fight so well on the inside.

Especially the No. 99 bald-headed animal, with 11 points, which may be acceptable to Frank, but looking at the rebound statistics, Frank wants to jump to the street.

Nima! Section 1! Even if this guy jumps on the field for the whole 12 minutes, he can't let him get 10 rebounds in one breath! And there are actually three front-court rebounds in it!

What is the situation? Frank really wants to drag the two big guys from his insider and ask, is this Nima playing water or really playing hard?

Although the boy had two fouls in the first quarter, who can explain the three blocks? Carter, Richard Jefferson, these two unlucky guys have become the dead souls under the bald boy's big slap.

Especially Carter, the first breakthrough was covered. As a result, before the end of the first quarter, he broke into the basket again. This time, he learned well, first with a fake action shaking, and then a basket pick.

Carter didn't plan to dunk at that time. He just wanted to score safely and equalize the score in the last attack, so after his fake move, he then picked a light basket.

No matter who looks at it, this is a very wise choice, but in the eyes of more than 10,000 fans at the scene, no matter who, no matter what method they use, they can't escape the fate of being blocked.

It turned out that these Boston supporters were too presightful. As soon as Carter's movements came out, the basketball was even out of his fingertips, and a wind came from behind his head.

There is no time for people to avoid, and this accurate attack seems to have no intention of making Carter's shot change. As soon as the basketball left the fingertips, the slap was slapped horizontally.

"Bang!" The crisp sound exploded in Carter's ear. Even if Carter reacted quickly, he was also scratched by the fierce tap, bringing a feeling of panic.

Originally, the Nets still had such an opportunity to equalize the score, but it was such a slap that directly flew Carter's basket fan, which also made Frank's face gloomy.

Jefferson's side is not so fierce. There are only 4 points and 4 rebounds. The mutual cover and inside cooperation between him and Chen Feng make the Nets have no way to fight.

The Nets rely on Kidd's three three-pointers to catch up with the first energy. Except for the first attack at the opening, they have never been ahead, completely chasing behind the opponent's buttocks.

This is what Frank is most worried about. Kidd has never been a standard three-point pitcher, but this time whether he wants to cut the ball inside or thread the needle, it doesn't seem so easy.

No one on the inside line can cover him. Collins tried twice, but all of them were squeezed away by the extremely strong animal behind him, and Kidd's breakthrough was also stopped by the other side.

This forced Kidd so much that he opened fire outside the three-point line, which is too difficult for the old guy who has never hit 40% of the three-point shot.

But fortunately, on this damn night, God favored Kidd. He shot four times and hit three times. This tough three-pointer was also the only way for the Nets to delay the Celtics.

This is not only Kidd, but also Richard Jefferson, who is restricted to death in breaking through. This guy can only run to medium and long distances to fire. One of his three-pointers and three jump shots are also the driving force for the Nets to keep chasing points. In addition to the two of them, Eddie House, who stood up from the bench, is also like This.

But this unreliable ultra-high hit rate has always made Frank frown. He will not naively think that Kidd can always maintain this tough accuracy.

When your team is limited by the opponent and can only open the periphery and score by jumping shots, it is a big trouble, and the Nets have fallen into this kind of trouble.

This is a completely alternative replica of the first match between the Nets and the Celtics of the new season. That game was played by the New Jerseys at home and took the lead from the beginning. By the fourth quarter, the game was already a garbage time.

And Frank's deployment and tactical adjustments in the second and third quarters are more like a struggle. Rivers is on the other side and continues to consolidate his advantages.

Chen Feng, Jefferson, Perkins, and three people firmly control the rebound. Outside are Novak, Pierce, Szebiak and Ron, Waigas Preville and Tony Allen.

Especially when Sprewell didn't play for more than a quarter on the sidelines, suddenly Rivers replaced him, and Richard Jefferson bumped into such a rock-solid old guy.

As soon as Tony Allen left, he changed to such a more animal. Richard Jefferson almost beat the floor and cried, "This is it! After all, these animals don't let people live!"

The Nets' attack was not smooth, but the shooting feel of Szebiak and Pierce was boiling. Whether it was a mid-range distance or a three-pointer, they all shot like magic help.

Just such a lantern-like bombardment, in the last two or three minutes of the third quarter, it completely lost the heart of the Nets.

At the end of the second quarter, they were only five points behind, but by the end of the third quarter, the gap had widened to 15 points.

In just one quarter, or only the last three minutes, the Nets seemed to have completely lost their sight.

Whether it's Kidd's shot or Richard Jefferson's jump shot, including Carter, House, all these guys who can score, turn off almost at the same time, just like an appointment.

This made Frank helpless. It's not that he didn't roar or roar, but this voice was inaudible in the shouts of more than 10,000 fans.

Boston fans went completely crazy in the last few minutes of the third quarter. These loyal supporters all stood up. They stood like this, looking at Pierce and Chen Feng, and attacked again and again.

Celtics! Celtics! Celtics!" This is a completely roaring sound, echoing throughout the North Shore Garden Arena!

With the roar of these guys, do you still expect this group of crazy guys to stop? Frank shouted for a pause in the last few minutes without delaying the feeling of these animals.

Pierce and Chen Feng teamed up to score 11 points in less than three minutes. This is not a great result, but these guys just let the Nets get 1 point, which is the most terrible.

11:1, it was such a wave of attacks that completely defeated the confidence of the boss of the Atlantic Division. As soon as the fourth quarter came, it started 5:0 and continued to persist for less than 5 minutes, and Frank completely gave up.

Rivers did not beat the water dog, but he can let the team defeat the opponent when both sides are the main confrontation, which has achieved the goal.

This chubby guy doesn't ask for much. He just needs to use his record to correct his name. His green shirt is no longer the group of fish brisket last season!

100:82, not a wild victory, but the gap of 18 points is enough to erase their loss away from home. Although this season is not over, Rivers has pulled the initiative back into his own hands.

"I hope that the next time we meet, we will be the winners." This is Rivers' answer to the reporter's question after the game. At this time, he doesn't need to be so modest. If he wins, he wins.

As for Frank's expression, Rivers has no obligation to take care of it. What he needs to do is to turn the other party to the ground so fiercely at the next meeting!

Who is the boss? Do you see it clearly? The boss is here! You New Jerseyers have been sitting in the position of the boss of the Atlantic Division for long enough! Now, it's time to change people!

Although the Nets are still ahead of the Celtics in the ranking, it will be easier for Rivers and his livestock to kill their opponents once, and the next time they meet.

Originally, after killing the Grizzlies, Rivers wanted to win at least four of the six games before Christmas. When they had already completed the task ahead of schedule, this wave of winning streak, these bandits were extremely fierce.

Who can stop them? There are two opponents before Christmas. Can they? No one dares to jump to a conclusion now, because no one knows how fierce these Boston bandits can be.

It pisses them off. There is absolutely no good fruit to eat...
