Chapter 201 Catastrophic Night
Whether before or after the game, even when the rhythm of the game was disrupted and they had to adjust their emotions in the fourth quarter, Pat Riley did not show a surprised expression.
Because in the eyes of this old man, everything is controllable, even when the Celtics launched a counterattack in the third quarter, Riley believed that the direction of the game would eventually be in the palm of his hand.
Although Riley spoke with anger at the end of the third quarter, it was just his way to motivate the players. He just hoped that that way would make the players understand what they should do.
All this is just Riley's means. After nearly 30 years in the NBA, this little trick can also reflect the due effect in Riley's hands.
There is no accident, no miracle. At least in the eyes of this winning coach, he can control his opponent and let the Heat show the demeanor of the defending champion. It may be a little repetitive, but the final winner must be him.
Riley has never doubted this. Just as he can control the team, the old guy's heart is strong enough to always believe that the game will always go as he wants, and the Heat will eventually win.
Anyway, at the end of this damn game, no one knows whether the Heat will win, but Riley has only one feeling now, that is, everything he originally controlled seems to have collapsed at this moment.
It used to be a confident "divine operator", but now it may be the first time that I feel a little doubtful of my judgment.
In the first five minutes of the fourth quarter, it seemed that everything on the court was under control, but at that moment, the feeling of mastering others had slipped away from Riley's strong heart.
Rivers wanted to stand on the sidelines and stamped his feet to curse, but now Riley can feel that he is no longer scolding. He really wants to grab a microphone and spit out all the swear words he can!
Because of this damn game, it was completely out of control in the second just now! Even Riley can only be a bystander! This bad feeling simply made Riley a little violent and impulsive!
Except for the time when he led the Heat to be overshadowed by the Knicks, Riley, who had already learned self-cultivation, was rarely so excited, but now he even has the idea of buying an AK47 immediately.
And it's definitely the kind full of magazines. Riley dares to promise anyone, and he will definitely shoot immediately.
Damn it! What is this going on! The players of the Heat can hear Riley roaring when he pulled off his tie on the sidelines, but most people still choose to pretend to be deaf. After all, no one wants to provoke Riley.
Including the fans sitting not far behind, you can also hear Riley, who has always been flaunting gentlemanly, swearing. They may be a little surprised, but now it is obvious that this is no longer the point.
However, only Riley's low roar can be heard by himself, but Rivers has nothing to worry about. He almost roared at the referee. The action of his teeth and claws was like a fight.
It is not only the coach of the two teams who are so excited. The players on the sidelines and on the court are also pointing at each other's noses and swearing each other. Several referees are definitely the most guilty at this time.
A group of strong and strong men are making noise on and off the court. Several referees who are obviously one size smaller compare with them. This is really disproportionate. Do you want to drag these guys? That's really difficult.
It's not that the referee is not good, but this is a fairy fight. Can ordinary people pull it away? What's more, this is just a peripheral battle. Just now, the three referees pulled the master away in addition to the strength of eating milk.
Do you know why Riley is so emotional? The reason is very simple, because the old man wanted to deceive others. As a result, he dug a hole, and the first one to bury was his own people.
And he is also the big guy he relies on most now. At the moment when the conflict broke out on the spot, Riley could feel his big back standing up! Don't blame him for being so violent on the sidelines.
If you finish the fourth quarter according to Riley's script, the process should obviously be like this, that is, Payton is causing trouble for Ron at both ends of the attack and defense, paralyzing the Celtics' central nervous system.
If Riley hadn't taken into account the first-grade rookie Ron before the start of the game, he would not have been allowed to ignore the little man in the No. 9 team uniform after the three quarters.
Whether it's Eddie Jones, Wade or Peyton, no matter who they are against Rondo, there is no guarantee that they will have a 100% upper hand. It may be Wade's breakthrough that can beat the opponent alone.
Rondo's defense is not very strong, but this guy's defensive area is indeed large enough, and this guy's greatest advantage is stability. That kind of calmness is simply a little speechless.
Peyton is old enough. He has been in the NBA for more than ten years, and he has been the boss in the supersonics. Even in the F4 period of the Lakers and the two years of the Heat, he is not the absolute core, but indispensable.
Anyway, this is also the person who can attack and defend against Jordan at the beginning. In the finals, he can also cause a lot of trouble for Joe. In the point guard, Peyton is very strong in terms of data and ability.
However, that was the peak of the past. Now Peyton, who is getting old, relies on his rich experience to play, especially on the defensive end. Few people can eat him.
But when Peyton met such a freak like Rondo this time, he was also a little helpless, because no matter how much he teased the "ET" with rubbish words, the other party did not respond, let alone be furious.
At the beginning, Master Joe couldn't stand Peyton's garbage attack, but Ron's side could not be moved, which forced Peyton to make a dark move in the end and began to work on the small actions of confrontation.
As Rivers saw, Rondo was almost overshadowed by Peyton's black hand at least twice.
Riley needs the opponent to be angry. It's better to lose that calm rhythm. If he can make Rundo's side chaotic, the Celtics' offensive firepower will definitely be weakened a lot.
Although this trick is a little out of the table, it works for a victory-only guy like Riley.
Peyton's side is flirting with Rondo's anger. This is just Riley's first arrangement, and his next big pit was dug for Chen Feng.
Maybe Riley doesn't want to admit that these two first-year rookies have caused him so much trouble, but you can see from his layout that in addition to Pierce, these two kids are the biggest scourge.
Compared with Rondo's calmness, Chen Feng's burst attack is more difficult for Riley to strangle. Especially after reading Chen Feng's data statistics in the first three sections, Riley can't wait to get rid of this boy's idea.
"If it hadn't been for that guy, the game wouldn't have been so difficult." It's not that Riley wants to raise Chen Feng a little, but that the data and reality are reminding him that the boy is a standard disaster.
Especially Chen Feng's lethality on the inside line. Although the boy has committed four fouls, he has also made Haslem and Olney carry three fouls, and Mo Ning has also committed four fouls.
So compared with the order to tell Peyton to pester and pester Ron, Riley's task to O'Neal and Haslem was more direct, which was to get Chen Feng off as soon as possible and let him go back to the locker room.
Experience, this is the biggest wealth of the Heat and the key to Riley's tactical adjustment. Although the two guys are very fierce, Riley believes that his veterans can do better.
Especially when others are insidious, those old guys are quite measured. Anyway, they have been in this league for so long, and they have eaten everything.
And Riley also prepared a backhand to deal with Chen Feng. He originally planned to throw Mo Ning on the field and join hands with O'Neal to block the basket with the last six or seven minutes left in the game.
If it weren't for Mo Ning's body, he still couldn't fight a protracted war. It is estimated that as soon as the third or fourth quarter comes, Riley intends to arrange it like this, but it may not be effective to stick to the last six or seven minutes.
Even Riley is already imagining that when such two tough guys sit under the basket at the same time, and there is fierce confrontation and harassment around Chen Feng, will the boy collapse?
This was originally Riley's last arrangement to lock Chen Feng. According to his idea, it was absolutely foolproof.
But Peyton has not yet achieved a result. Mo Ning is still waiting to listen to the coach's final tactical arrangement around Riley. At such a jux, an extremely strong conflict broke out under the basket.
Everything happened so suddenly. Rivers here was still wondering whether it was time to call a pause, and Riley was still considering whether to replace Mo Ning. As a result, their movements were slow.
Or, the outbreak under the basket came too suddenly, fast and stunned, and the toughness also made me speechless, because it was definitely two very strong guys, the most direct confrontation.
Let O'Neill make a trick. In fact, he has always been a big shark who is often tricked. He is not very used to this dirty work, so most of the time Haslem is stumbling Chen Feng, and he is deterred by the side.
But when Riley made this calculation, he must not know what kind of special training Auerbach had arranged for the boy, and how many tricks Takanian had given to the boy.
I don't know how much he has prepared for Chen Feng just from the video of Bill Lambir's animal. What's more, the boy is quite cunning. The greasy habit from the street has always made him more vigilant than others.
As soon as Haslem started, Chen Feng was already alert. He played under the basket twice in a row, and the other side failed to take advantage of it. Haslem was abducted by Chen Feng with his elbow.
The source of this conflict is here. Originally, Pierce was ready to serve the sideline ball. Chen Feng was wrestling with O'Neal, and Haslem was also interfering. In addition, Perkins and Jefferson, several big guys were crowded together. Body friction was naturally indispensable, and Haslem stared at Chen intentionally or unintentionally. Front.
This is all Riley's arrangement, but the old guy obviously ignored a problem. Chen Feng is a first-year rookie. He is not experienced enough, but when did that stunned young man really suffer losses?
Even if he meets O'Neill, he dares to fight fiercely and hard. Do you still expect him to be hacked by Haslem's tricks? As for the idea of flirting with him with fouls, I think too much about it.
When he fought hard with Wallace, Chen Feng was not afraid of being sent off, but whatever he knew, he would go all the way to the dark. Now that he meets the heat, he also has this attitude.
As a result, Chen Feng over there was overcast Haslem when he was stuck. In fact, it was not serious. When grabbing the position, his shoulder touched his shoulder and hit him. However, ordinary people can't stand Chen Feng's animal-like impact. Even Haslem, who has a good physique **, can't stand it. .
There is no service yet, and the basket here is a little messy. Although there is no foul, the strong physical contact has made the area near the paint area a battlefield of hand-to-hand combat.
Originally, O'Neal was used to running rampant in the NBA. Haslem here also wanted to give him a favorable position. His younger brother was overshadowed, and he, as the leader, naturally had to stand up.
After opening Jefferson with his huge buttocks, O'Neill roared at Chen Feng very fiercely, "Kid, get out of here! This is not your kitchen. Don't die in front of me!"
O'Neal is also so angry because he is really unhappy in this game. If he is in peacetime, this guy always likes to play with treasure, and he won't have such a violent temper.
Especially when he is old, O'Neill doesn't have many conflicts with others. Many people even say that the shark has lost its teeth and can't bite.
However, only O'Neal himself knows that he can't bite people to death, but sometimes he doesn't necessarily need to use his teeth to solve problems. Sometimes a strong body and fierce intimidation are also a weapon.
Just like now, when O'Neill sees Haslem suffer a loss, he naturally has to stand up and has to show a strong attitude. Anyway, O'Neill has to overwhelm Chen Feng.
Seeing that Chen Feng didn't reply, O'Neill said again, "Kid, you still have a lot to learn!"
O'Neal's original meaning is to warn Chen Feng after getting stuck in the position. Don't be too rampant, you little guy. I haven't retired yet. This is not your world. Learn from me!
As a result, O'Neill waited for a response not to give in, but a response to ignite the gunpowder barrel, "What to learn? How can you only lie on Cindy Crawford for 20 minutes? It also includes the time to take off clothes.
You can say that a man picks up a lot of beautiful women, but if you say that this guy is despised by the woman because of something, he will definitely touch the most annoying pain of that man.
It turned out that O'Neill was a very normal man, so what Riley was waiting for was not Chen Feng to foul too much because of his hot temper, but his most important insider pillar swung his fist under the basket.
When the huge fist turned to Chen Feng, everything was out of control...
This is definitely a disastrous night for Pat Riley. Everything is terrible!
