Chapter 245 Fierce comeback
What Rivers said on the training ground will naturally not be known by those competitors, but his words are bound to make the little bandits understand that the current Celtics must start to be fierce.
This is a clear attitude. Rivers wants to put all these things on the surface and let his wild kids see clearly how to face the future games.
There are less than 40 games left, no matter whether you have a coveted ambition for the playoffs or the championship, as long as you don't want to be forgotten by others like a puddle of mud, you must work hard at this time.
In fact, no matter who is, he or she will stand firm at this time to meet the opponent's challenge. Rivers is no exception. He will also tell these players to seize every chance to win.
These things are not given to you by others. You can only fight for your own life. If you don't want to be squeezed out of the top eight in the east, you have to dare to fight with anyone. Therefore, what Rivers needs is a warrior.
Now the Celtics are far from strong enough to make their opponents surrender automatically. In fact, at this time, even the Mavericks often capsized in the gutter in some games.
Two days ago, the Mavericks fell on the Pacers' territory. If you compare the strength gap between the two sides, it is obvious that the Dallas people dominate, but the result of the game is that they lose.
And they didn't lose one or two points. They let their opponents hit a 98:88 with their heads on the Pacers' territory. In the end, the whole 10-point gap was quite dazzling.
After losing the game, "Little General" Johnson looked quite ugly. Even later, there was a rumor that the guy scolded fiercely in the locker room for nearly ten minutes.
No one knows what the Mavericks players reacted in the end, but everyone can see that when they walked out of the locker room, the expressions on their faces were cold and strangers were not allowed to enter.
As a team that reached the finals last year and almost touched the final trophy, the Mavericks' strength is naturally stronger than the Pacers.
But this is such a gap. When the Pacers fought hard, they were also wiped out. You can say that the Pacers are lucky, but you can't deny that they are really fierce.
Rivers now needs players to fight fiercely and fiercely like those guys, so that he can't let the opponent overturn himself to the ground and step on other people's heads to enter the playoffs fiercely.
Everyone is playing with their lives, just to see who plays harder. Anyway, February is a standard watershed for those teams who want to break into the playoffs, and they can only advance but not retreat.
Rivers doesn't want to retreat, and as he said, there is no retreat. Anyway, it's already like this. It's better to risk it. If he loses, he may really choose to get out of here immediately.
Even those teams that are ranked in the top ten in the East and the West will seek to find some opportunities at this time. Unless they are at the bottom, they can always find some reasons to fight up.
In fact, even the Milwaukee Bucks and Minnesota Timberwolves have never given up the chance to win. Even for them, the current victory can only save a little dignity.
But it's such an opponent, and you can't take it lightly. When Rivers sits at home in a well-staffed situation, he sent his main force to play and beat the Milwaukee Bucks at the North Shore Garden Arena.
It was really a confrontation without suspense. On the one hand, the main force came out, and on the other hand, the wounded soldiers were full.
Bogert is injured and Reed is injured. Anyway, those who can take the lead are basically on the injury list.
There is nothing he can do as the main coach. It's not that he doesn't want to save the fate of the bottom, but there are only a few players who can play in his hand. He really can put it together. He has to look at God's face.
If the old guy gives them some miracles, he may be able to support two more quarters. Anyway, if they don't give them a chance, they really can't even see a glimmer of light.
This sad fate makes Stotts even have the impulse to quit his job immediately. His team is already the worst record in the East. Now it seems that even if it continues to be rotten, it is nowhere to be rotten.
Only people like Mo Williams can continue to lead the team, but I don't think God knows whether such a player can lead a team.
If you go crazy, you can get more than 30 points. If you are depressed, you dare to get 10 points in a game. It's such an ups and downs, and most of people in individual singles will lead the team. I guess no one has much hope.
Just like this game, Mo Williams played for 43 minutes and scored 31 points, but his team lost 25 points at the North Shore Garden Arena. The whole fourth quarter was garbage time.
In the first three quarters, he also scored 19 points, which is because Rondo did not play, and West is responsible for guarding him. If Rondo comes on the field, this guy may not even get this data.
What would you think if such a situation was in front of you? On the contrary, from Rivers's side, he hopes that the more opponents he has, the better. The threat that a single team can bring is not big.
"What can be exchanged for a point of explosion? It only means that they are such a guy who can kill us now. They can't do anything but let him brush some data.
At this time last year, Rivers watched his opponent** himself, because only Pierce could take the lead alone at that time, and the rest of the people could only act as a spectator.
It's not that Rivers' coaching is not good, but there is no suitable player. He can arrange the lineup and playing style, and no one will execute it. Now Stotts is obviously in this situation.
The Celtics last season had almost the same experience as Milwaukee now. They may have a guy who scored more than 30 or close to 30 in every game.
But most of the final victory belongs to the opponent, because they have nothing except this point. Even if Rivers is dispatching troops, they still can't reverse the embarrassing situation at that time.
Otherwise, Pierce will not have the news that he is leaving, because that guy doesn't want everyone to think that he is a scoring machine, but he can't lead the team to win the game and win.
But now this situation definitely does not exist. Pierce only scored 21 points in this game, but the team won so easily that he didn't even come up in the fourth quarter.
Rivers actually asked Pierce if he needed to make a beautiful data for himself in garbage time, but Pierce refused, and he also said a word.
"Since I don't need to score 30 or 40 points in every game to win, why am I so tired? I was too tired to carry the team alone last season. Now I should take a break.
Players pay attention to the performance of personal data. After all, it represents the chips when signing future contracts, but for Pierce now, those things are far less attractive than the playoffs.
If he can enter the playoffs with these strong little bandits, he doesn't mind being full of firepower at that time and let those blockers fall under his strong scoring ability.
And what Pierce wants to do now is just a quiet game, and then wait for the victory to come, and continue to accumulate energy for the playoffs. Both he and the Celtics need a crazy release process, but before that, they need to accumulate enough madness to be amazing in the playoffs, which is really crazy. Take it!
However, Rivers actually doesn't have to worry that the data is too average, because even if Pierce doesn't brush the data, someone will do this job for him.
Just like Thibodeau beside Rivers, this usually quiet man also held the data statistics after the game, because he found that some people were born with a data brush.
"If you play 25 or 26 games like this, I think it is completely possible for this boy to get the top 20 of the average score per game. Oh, it's not at least the top 15. I bet, really."
Anyone familiar with Siberdu knows that this guy has never been the kind of person who is full of talk. He must have made such a statement after a sufficiently accurate estimate.
"Well, maybe it was an accident, old man. In fact, as you know, this boy's scoring data also has a certain amount of moisture. He played for at least five minutes in the fourth quarter, so this doesn't mean anything."
Although Rivers looked at the statistics and scratched his scalp a little, he still refuted Siberdu's statement, but the strength of the rebuttal was a little small.
"In five minutes, he only got six points, two rebounds and one block, but how to explain the previous 26 points and thirteen rebounds? Don't forget that his total playing time is only 35 minutes!"
"This..." Rivers listened to Sibodu's words and was silent. There was nothing he could do, because someone was really a little crazy in this game, and even seemed a little arbitrary.
Thirty-five minutes, thirty-two points, fifteen rebounds, four blocks and one assist. In the statistics of Siberdeau, there was a fierce guy who completed his first rampage after his comeback.
"Is this guy going to have unlimited right to fire? Even the boss's shots are not as many as you." Siebodeau and Rivers scratched their scalps over there, but Rondo said such a thing to an animal beside him.
"This... is purely a misunderstanding. In fact, if Bogart didn't look at me curled before the game, maybe I wouldn't be so cruel. The main reason is that he has nothing to do!"
Chen Feng is not a fool, so he doesn't plan to grab a position and then be the boss. All this is just because before the game, Bogart dressed like a dog and looked at him impatiently.
Then... The Australian watched Chen Feng hit the basket he was supposed to defend again and again on the bench, and then watched his team's defense being shattered helplessly.
As Chen Feng himself said, this is just a misunderstanding, but such a misunderstanding makes many people start to be vigilant, because they have seen the final result of the game.
This only represents one thing. After more than a month's rest, the fierce guy became more ferocious.
