Chapter 197 If you can't beat it, drag you to death

Rivers is so naive that he expects to kill O'Neill with one person. The NBA has been studying that kind of difficult job for nearly ten years. Except for Olajuwon who cleaned up the shark, the rest of the people have been frustrated.

I want to kill O'Neill one-on-one. This is too unscientific! How can that guy be killed by a person? If you really want to get him down, at least you have to have a stronger firepower.

O'Neill wants to clean up the NBA insider, just like Godzilla breaking into New York, but it's very difficult.

Therefore, Rivers threw all the inside lines at hand to the field. He would rather choose to make the Celtics less mobile than completely trap the shaking shark on the inside line.

Compared with mobility, if the inside line is lost, the team will definitely collapse faster, so Rivers will withdraw Spreeville and let Pierce and Ron roer on the periphery, and the rest must be under the basket!

No matter what others think, Rivers is risking it anyway, just like what he said in the locker room, "I don't know what Riley and his Heat are doing. I just want them to feel bad!"

This is what Rivers thought, and he did it, so he came up with such a lineup, which is to make trouble for himself. Similarly, he also wants to make some trouble for Riley.

Even if Walker and three-point guns like Capono are waiting for the Celtics to have defensive loopholes, Rivers can't take care of it. Compared with these, he cares more about the fight under the basket.

The reason why the Celtics were able to turn the situation around in the first quarter was that they took advantage of the inside competition.

The same was true in the previous games. Once the offensive and defensive rhythm of the inside line is controlled, the whole situation will be reversed immediately. Even if you can't win, you can make your opponent dizzy and dare not underestimate the Celtics.

The inside line is the backbone of the team. The gains and losses under the basket will determine the team's end. In this era when the front guards occupy the mainstream, Rivers' tactical arrangement is a little against the water.

No wonder, after all, not every team has O'Neal, and not every head coach can be as lucky as Rivers to have a wild animal. Therefore, the main inside line depends on character.

Rivers knew very well that Chen Feng was still angry, so when explaining the tactical arrangements in the locker room, he deliberately clicked the boy, "Don't faint your mind because the score is behind."

For a guy with a strong tactical understanding, Rivers has always believed that there is no need to warn him in particular. It's just that Chen Feng is so impatient because of his first confrontation with O'Neal. This guy has never been so calm, but he is a little hairy this night. Restless.

Rivers didn't plan to hold Chen Feng's ear to tell him what to do. This requires the players to understand it by themselves, so he said, don't be confused. It's enough to have this sentence.

Chen Feng is not a fool, and he is not the kind of coward who can be killed by a stick. Although he has just been slapped by O'Neill, the toughness in his bones will not be easily erased.

In fact, there is no need for Rivers to say so much. Chen Feng also knows that he is a little too anxious to play against O'Neal, but in that case, he can't be in a hurry. After all, he is pressed.

Usually, the team's counterattack started from his own side. As a result, this time it was good. He did not become a bridgehead of counterattack, but became the focus of the opponent's counterattack, and this kind of counterattack was also successful because of the presence of O'Neal!

This kind of thing is still rare for Chen Feng. Although he met such a big guy as O'Neill, he was pressed to death, but for the first time, he couldn't help but be angry.

Especially when his attack is not smooth, the sulking breath on his chest is always lingering, just like when he is unable to breathe by the other party's general grid in order to carry O's turn and back.

Therefore, the worse the play is, the more backward the team is. Chen Feng is playing more and more impatient. There are some obviously bad offensive opportunities. He also chooses to play hard, which makes the chaotic rhythm more chaotic.

Moreover, Chen Feng's tough style of play happens to be the type that O'Neill likes. He doesn't have to move his body more and wait under the basket. Like that block, he just needs to be more violent.

After all, Chen Feng is not an invincible King Kong. Even if he is usually a very tough beast, but if you meet a big non-human like O'Neill, no matter how beast you are, it won't work.

On this point, even if Chen Feng is a little unhappy, he has to agree, because in the locker room, he said to Rondo beside him, "Then his big guy is simply a disaster for everyone."

Er, this guy has forgotten how he once rampages on other people's heads. This is also a report, but Chen Feng has always automatically ignored those things.

However, Rivers reminded Chen Feng that the bald boy, who had been depressed for a long time, swept away the dark cloud covering his head. At least, he was much more energetic.

So when this guy walked out of the locker room, the posture of rubbing his hands was similar to that of Mo Ning in the first quarter. Sieberdeau was a little surprised by the boy's recovery speed.

"Don't think about that guy in a normal way of thinking, so if the boy figure it out, it will work more than we said. Now it's good. It seems that he has understood a lot."

Rivers doesn't plan to use any captivity to manage tough guys like Chen Feng, because he also knows that you can't control this kind of player who is too wild.

Therefore, instead of limiting their nature and pinching this guy into a good baby, it's better to let him go. His head coach is next to him and guide the general direction.

It's not how wise Rivers is, but how he talked to Takanian about this. In addition, there is an old man like Auerbach. How can he not understand Chen Feng's temper?

It's better to release him than to limit him. It doesn't matter if you take some risks. What's more, the boy has excellent talent. Rivers believes that under his hands, the wild boy will eventually shine.

Auerbach said this at the beginning, "Don't let those damn rules destroy his right feelings."

Rivers is not as wise as Auerbach, but his biggest advantage is that he can understand when and how to use all the resources that his men can use.

Just like now, that's what he did. Maybe Thibodeau thought the partner was a little crazy, but Rivers thought that his brain was very clear, and he even dared to confront Riley head-on.

Compared with the tactical adjustment of the Celtics, there is no specific action on the Heat's side, but Capono replaces Walker again. Riley needs such a shooter to continue to pose a threat on the periphery.

Although Walker can also throw a three-pointer, this guy is really a little too lazy. He often can only wait on the outside line with his hands. If the ball is passed to him, this guy will throw a three-pointer without moving.

So, now Riley decided to throw Walker on the bench for the time being and let him enjoy his life after becoming a "fat head". As for the future, Riley hasn't thought so much for the time being.

But at least it is certain that Walker is not an indispensable one for the Heat. For Riley, Capono may be more obedient and understands what he should do.

The tactical arrangement will not change much. Riley just wants to take a rotation in terms of the playing personnel. After all, the Heat is still mostly veterans.

Although the physical fitness is relatively abundant now and there is no problem, Riley, a coach who has been immersed in the NBA for many years, also understands that it is usually a real fatigue period after March.

In order to ensure the health of his veteran, he had to prepare early, so that he would not be caught off guard and passively face a wave of injuries, which is the worst situation.

So when the season had just entered the quarter, Riley had begun to prepare for the rainy season.

As for the other positions, Riley didn't make any adjustments. O'Neal continued to stay on the court. Although the old guy is in his thirties, there is no problem with sticking for 30 minutes in terms of physical strength.

What's more, Riley doesn't dare to remove this big guy easily now. After all, the Celtics' internal attack is only temporarily stalled. Who knows when they will make a comeback.

Riley can't afford to lose, but at home, before Christmas, he doesn't want to give a failure to the fans who cheer for the Heat. Besides, he is the head coach of the defending champion. Can he lose so easily?

While leaving O'Neill on the court, Wade played again after a short break in the second quarter, and Peyton also cheered up to replace Eddie Jones. His appearance also liberated Wade.

For most of the second quarter, Wade began to hold the ball at this point, which made Rondo suffer a little loss in defense. After all, the physical condition of the two people is, and it is really difficult to defend against it.

However, Wade held the ball and attacked, the Heat had to open up space for him, and O'Neal's advantage in the inside line could not be played perfectly. Riley adjusted it to alleviate the problem.

Although O'Neill has been emphasizing to the media, "This is Wade's team, not mine." But let a player who is used to being the boss in the team suddenly become the second-in-command, ordinary people certainly can't adapt to it. O'Neill didn't make any division in the team, but Riley also had to guard against these contradictions.

And now it is the advantage of the inside line. Arrange a guy who can pass the ball to O'Neal as a partner in the point guard. I guess the big shark is also not happy. What Riley needs now is also stable.

Take control of the situation in your own hands. Of course, a hot old guy like Riley doesn't want any accidents.

Stable, the more stable the better. He can kill his opponent with a jab little by little. Riley really feels that there is no need to use his strength to wave a heavy punch to solve the problem. The Celtics are not his main target for the time being.

The Spurs, Pistons, Bulls, this is Riley's opponent that needs to pay attention to. As for the Celtics, it is just a team that has just climbed out of the ruins, and it can't get into Riley's eyes for the time being.

Although he was a little embarrassed by his opponent in the first quarter, Riley has not planned to raise his opponent to a point where he is alert. What's more, O'Neal is in good condition now. With such a big guy under the basket, coupled with the feeling of the team's gradual recovery, Riley is confident to lead the team to complete the defense. Crown.

Riley's side is thinking about how to win the game steadily, but Rivers's side is not how to win the game. What he thinks is simpler and more straightforward.

Whether he can win or not is no longer the focus of Rivers' consideration. What he wants to do is actually very simple. He can give full play to the strength of those wild boy and create some trouble for the Heat at the American Airlines Arena.

According to the current strength of the two teams, it must be very difficult for Rivers to overturn his opponent.

In this case, what Fuss thinks there is more and more simple. It's better to beat a bachelor than to survive, show all your strength, and fight with the Heat. The victory or defeat is up to the sky.

At this point, Rivers has no scruples. Even if his tactical adjustment has obvious defensive defects, he has no intention to make any changes. Anyway, he just intends to fight to the end.

Riley really didn't expect Rivers to give himself such a way to deal with it, so as soon as the old guy saw the Celtics' appearance in the third quarter, he was a little shocked.

"Three inside lines!? Is that guy Doug crazy?" Riley really wants to ask Rivers what he thinks, because there are also Walker and Capono, who are good at three-pointers, on the outside of the Heat.

In addition, there is Wade. His three-pointer may not be so accurate, but if there is a gap, it can't be said that it can at least cause a lot of damage, but Rivers seems to be ignoring these.

There were three big guys piled up on the inside line. Such a response made Riley a little speechless. Similarly, it also made Olney, who continued to sit under the basket, feel dizzy, because in front of him, he really became a sea of meat.

As a very qualified insider destroyer, O'Neill really can't stand having so many people around him? Damn it, have you ever seen it wrapped together by three people? What the hell!

Bag? Rivers is not so stupid that he thinks that a simple bag can handle O'Neal, so he has already said in the locker room to assist in defense, but he must ask every time he defends desperately to go around!

O'Neal is two meters and sixteen, more than 300 pounds. His height and strength are naturally his biggest murder weapon, but it is also a trouble. Although the old man's footsteps are agile in the inside line, there is still no good way to deal with the defense around the front. What's more, Rivers around the front, but three large animals together. Come on!

The previous confrontation has always been Chen Feng behind O'Neill. The two are purely fighting for who is more tough. Facts have proved that heavy people definitely have an advantage.

So Rivers did not let Chen Feng continue to be so passive this time. He directly let Perkins, who was also very plump, stand on O'Neal in the back. Rivers did not ask for death prevention, but asked for a slight resistance.

As long as Perkins can withstand it, Jefferson and Chen Feng in front of them can take turns to harass, and the characters of these two guys are defending around the front, so that O'Neal does not have any chance to catch the ball comfortably!

Especially Chen Feng, this boy's height and arm length and strong bouncing ability are simply too beasts.

It would be a pity if such a piece of good steel does not need to be on the blade. Therefore, this guy plays an important task of circumfering the front interference. Anyone who is going to hang the ball to O'Neal will intercept it.

When such a close entanglement that was almost rogue was directly nailed to O'Neill, the big shark that had been shaking its head and tail under the basket began to feel the existence of fishing nets around it.

That's right. According to O'Neal's rich experience, I haven't seen anything about defending around the front and cutting off the passing route? He has been in the NBA for so many years, and I don't know how many people have done this.

But this old guy is still playing well. In today's NBA, he is definitely the number one person in the center position. If he really copes with this kind of scene, it should not be a problem.

But there is an exception to everything. After all, not every team that wants to limit O'Neal has an animal that can bounce up to one meter, and that animal is more than two meters tall, and the arm span...

The most important thing is that the guy has a stubborn character. If he wants to create something evil, ordinary people really can't stop it. The only O'Neill who can stop him is now his prey.

Rivers is now putting on a posture to turn over the inside line. No matter how fierce the attack of the Heat is, he does not intend to retreat. He just fights hard. Even if there are many fouls, he will not change his tactics.

Riley did not immediately change the personnel on the field because of Rivers's move. With Capono, O'Neal and Wade, and Peyton's needle thread, Riley was actually not worried.

It's just that there are so many big men piled up under the basket. If you want O'Neill to continue to play his previous offensive role, it's probably useless. Riley will not be naive enough to think that the current big shark can still pick three. Even if he can, he will not succeed every time. Controlling the basket now it seems that it can only be a task as much as possible. It is.

However, Riley trusts O'Neal's deterrent power in the basket very much. If he is involved in the inside line, it can be able to explode the peripheral firepower, but before his satisfactory calculation is finished, the Heat's attack will be blocked.

As soon as the third quarter of the game started, the Celtics let three people stare at O'Neal under the basket, which was definitely an opportunity in the eyes of an old fox like Peyton, but he did not find the right passing point.

It's not that there is no gap in the periphery, but Pierce followed Wade. Rondo pestered himself. The only empty Capono had a chance to take action, but as soon as Peyton threw the basketball over, Chen Feng rushed out.

As I said, Rivers is not so simple. Even if he intends to take a risk, he will not really let his opponent shoot so unscrupulously without harassment.

Capono is not the kind of person with strong athletic ability. He is a simple pitcher. Therefore, while wrapping O'Neal, once the opponent sends the ball to the outside line, Chen Feng immediately turns into an interceptor missile.

Anyway, the boy's athletic ability is strong enough and his body is abundant. Rivers just threw the peripheral defense to Chen Feng as a guerrilla player. Whether it's blocking or interfering with shooting, he can't make the opponent comfortable anyway.

Capono is definitely not the kind of person with strong singles ability, and Peyton's pass to him is exactly where he is good at. After receiving the ball, this guy didn't make any cover-up at all, just jump-off shooting.

This is really. When people are sleepy, someone sends pillows. As soon as Capono took action, Chen Feng over there had already jumped over with high teeth and claws. At that time, Capono was already stunned.

The guy who was strolling around the three-second area just now actually killed in front of him, and the tough shape made Canobo's little heart tremble violently.

It's useless to shake. After all, basketball has long been out of the control of Capono's fingertips. The only thing he can do now is to listen to the sound of the big slap on the basketball.

Not only the muffled sound, but also a wind brushed Capono's ear. How did the ball throw it out? Chen Feng asked how the ball to return the same way, which was called straight.

You can still say that it was an accident that Capono was blocked. After all, Chen Feng would not be able to block the opponent's shot so beautifully every time, but O'Neal was trapped under the basket, which made Riley frown.

O'Neal's height and weight list can be taken out, which can kill any of the three guys in front of him, but he won't play any one-on-one with him this time, that is, all kinds of around, interference and destruction.

As long as it can make O'Neal feel uncomfortable to take the ball, Chen Feng can even do the matter of flying out to break the ball. You can imagine how hard these animals are.

And Rivers over there has given the order to die. Anyway, he has to block me! Don't retreat!

I can't kill you one-on-one, but I can play with you slowly with human sea tactics! If you can't beat it, you have to drag you to death! When the three big guys grinned at O'Neill, even the big shark couldn't stand it.

So, even if they know that they will foul, these three guys will risk their lives and won't let O'Neal score easily. Even if the defense loses a position, they can use fouls to stop it.

In the past, when Nelson was with the Mavericks, he really used the weakness of O'Neal's inaccurate free throw to "cut the shark", but now Rivers's tactics are more direct. Whether you are accurate or not, I will cut it!

And there is a wild boy staring at O'Neill. If he fouls hard, not to mention the big shark, even if you get him a Tyrannosaurus Rex, he can knock it down for you.

When the live DJs began to complain about the damn game, Riley frowned again.
