Chapter 262 Bet
In fact, Rivers did not bet all the treasures on Chen Feng. After all, the Lakers are feeling hot, and it is not easy to stop the opponent now. His substitution even looks a little risky.
Even the DJs at the scene said with a little gloating that the Bostonians finally couldn't stand it and were ready to adjust their lineup, but such a substitution was really a little idiot.
In fact, this is what most people think, including the Boston fans in front of the TV are also worried. After all, it is the territory of a sworncomer. It is inevitable to be ridiculed, but this substitution is indeed a little reckless.
Celtics fans will not blame their team's coach's decision, but if they lose, they will not refuse the right to curse. This substitution really looks a little risky.
If it weren't for the old resentment between the two sides, perhaps many Boston fans are thinking that Rivers is strategically giving up the game to save physical strength for the next game.
However, no one will deliberately choose to lose in such a game. From the toughness left over from the Auerbach era, it is absolutely impossible for Boston to bow down like this in the face of the Lakers.
Even if Rivers has this idea, he will never dare to do so, otherwise he will wait to be kicked in the ass by the old guy Auerbach. There has never been a war between Los Angeles and Boston.
Even Auerbach will never choose to be a coward when playing against the Lakers. Even if he loses the game, he has to fight until the last minute. No one will choose to retreat at this time.
It's just that Rivers replaced Pierce and others at this critical moment, which does look a bit like suicide.
Originally, he made an adjustment when the other party was in the lead, and it still weakened his offensive firepower. This is not a very wise choice. At least from the perspective of others, this is undoubtedly a suicide.
Everyone knows how crazy the home atmosphere of the Staples Arena can make the Lakers crazy. Once it can't be contained, the Celtics may be waiting for a collapse, and it is likely to be within a few minutes.
Although the current performance of the Lakers is not as brilliant as in the three consecutive championships, you must beware of the momentary madness of these guys in Los Angeles, otherwise you will suffer.
What's more, the Celtics are still lagging behind their opponents in the score, and they rashly choose to change and adjust. If they are defeated by a wave of fierce impact from their opponents, it will not be so easy to turn over the next two quarters.
Although the basketball game depends on strength, the difference between the level of the NBA is not obvious. Once it is restrained by the opponent, it may be **. If you are pressed, you can't turn over, and no one dares to be careless.
Even when the league leader like the Mavericks meets the Knicks or the Bucks, he does not dare to relax easily. Otherwise, the thing that capsized in the sewer can often happen, which is not a rare thing.
Especially when Kobe is in a good hand, ordinary people will not be so adventurous, but Rivers's choice does make many people confused, except for the Celtic bandits who know why.
This is not how superstitious Rivers that Chen Feng's personal ability can solve everything. He just heard a fierceness from the words Chen Feng said. At this time, he wanted to gamble.
From the beginning of the game, whether it is the Lakers or the Celtics, the starting lineup on both sides may rest for less than five minutes, and most of the time they are on the court.
Phil Jackson doesn't want to adjust easily. Similarly, Rivers did not dare to replace people, so the two sides are so deadlocked, but if they continue to die, the person who suffers at the loss must be on the Celtic side.
After all, this is a game at the home court of the Lakers. In addition, the two sides continue to fight in the boos of the fans and the noisy atmosphere at the scene, which really makes the Bostonians a little angry.
And this is only the beginning of the Celtics' Western away trip, and the next two games are also fierce battles. If you are squeezed out by your opponent in Los Angeles, you don't have to think about the two fierce fights behind.
So at this time, Rivers can only take a risk. Even if there is a risk of collapse, he has to adjust his lineup. In order to maintain the impact in the next two quarters, he has to gamble if he doesn't want to gamble.
It seems a little impetuous to replace Pierce, but Rivers also hopes that this adjustment can narrowly win.
It is mainly Kobe's fierce attack and Phil Jackson's old strategy, which makes the Celtics play very passively. So the current score is still relatively dead, and Rivers still has a little confidence.
"I'll give you time and opportunity, but you have to bite this damn score for me. I don't want to see the crash." This is the last sentence Rivers whispered to Chen Feng before playing.
It's not that Rivers can't believe Chen Feng's ability, but in such an adventurous situation, he has to tell the wild boy that now that his arrangement is taking risks, he doesn't want to see a bad situation.
"Head, I'm going to get down and climb back on the floor. I don't want to lose such a big person in front of this group of Los Angeles people, so I can only do this group of grandchildren. Look at it."
Chen Feng really doesn't seem to care when he talks about this. He doesn't seem to have considered that Rivers's behavior is taking risks, which makes the fat Rivers really doubt whether he has made a wrong decision.
Rivers's adjustment was a little unexpected by Phil Jackson. The resourceful Zen master didn't expect that the chubby guy would make his own decision first, and adjust so many people at once.
In fact, Phil Jackson really thought a little too much. Rivers just wanted to replace Pierce and Jefferson for a rest at the beginning. As a result, he thought about it. Anyway, he bet. It's better to bet a little bigger.
The main reason is that Sprewell has fouled three times, and there are still more than two quarters left in the game. If this guy is sent off when he is struggling later, it will be a big trouble for the Celtics. Instead of this, it's better to replace it together, let Tony Allen go for a while, and give Sprewell a time to rest and adjust. Between.
It can't be said that he expects that a 36-year-old man can still lock up Kobe, but as long as he can create some trouble for the other party, Rivers is willing to do it, not to mention that he hopes to start working hard in the next two quarters.
Replace the three main starting players at once. This is not because the Celtics' bench is thick enough, but because Rivers has to fight for it, whether he wants to or not, even if it's a little risky.
He asked Chen Feng to dominate the attack on the court. In addition, Weber, an old man who can respond and attack at a low level on the inside, was his helper, leaving Rondo specially to deliver shells to the inside attack.
Rondo should have been replaced, but considering that the chemical reaction between West and Chen Feng is not so intense, it's better to leave Rdo and let him and Chen Feng make trouble for each other.
Moreover, Rondo's physical reserve is far better than those rookies in the new league. After half of the season, the little guy is getting more and more energetic, and the ballless running on the court is more accurate and sophisticated.
Except for the fact that his shooting skills have not improved at all, Rondo has done everything a rookie point guard can do, especially in terms of physical fitness, which can be a benchmark, and even those old fried dough sticks are not as good as him.
Of course, the most animal in the whole Celtics is still the bald-headed boy. Rondo is an iron lung that can't be undead, but he is a little worried when he meets Chen Feng, because that guy has to have special exercises every day.
If Rondo is an animal, then Chen Feng is at least the sum of the two animals, especially if he hasn't played a game for a month in the middle. The boy's physical reserve is even more fierce than at the beginning of the season.
Rivers dared to let the two of them continue to run on the field, that is, to see the super physical strength of these two guys.
As for Tony Allen's role in playing is to entangle with Kobe Bryant. Rivers doesn't expect a person who can end Kobe's attack, but at least let that guy play a little awkwardly.
As for Szebiak, this guy's peripheral firepower coverage is to open up more space for the insider. As for his scoring efficiency, Rivers really doesn't expect much.
It can be arranged like this, that is to make the offensive space under the basket more, and to provide the wild boy and Weber more opportunities to dodge. It's up to them to bite the score in these five minutes.
Rivers bet is thorough enough. Although it is very risky, if he can withstand the Lakers' counterattack, the Celtics will have a greater opportunity to seize the opponent in the entanglement of the last two quarters.
"At least keep Kobe and others on the field for a few more minutes. If you can keep them on the field to finish this quarter of the game, then the boy's task will be completed successfully." Rivers whispered.
Sebodeau was also a little nervous about looking at the confrontation that was about to start again. He also knew that if he and Rivers's adjustment plan was defeated by Phil Jackson, the game might be completely out of control. Even if they switch people immediately, it may not have any effect. It is.
Not afraid of losing, but losing victory in front of the old enemy is a very annoying thing. The next time will be nearly 300 seconds. For the Celtics, it can be said to be the speed of life and death.
Both Thibodeau and Rivers are not sure that they can win, but they hope that Chen Feng's fierceness can really play out and keep the Lakers' starting lineup on the field for as much time as possible.
Rivers bet that Phil Jackson would not see the Celtics change in order to be safe. He also immediately adjusted his main lineup, and he would observe before making a decision.
If the Lakers had a chance to defeat the Celtics, they would not easily let go of this opportunity.
What the coaches are fighting for is the psychological battle. This is the home of the Lakers, and this is their territory. In the crazy shouts of the fans, even the "Zen master" may lose their usual calm style.
The four-point lead is not stable. After all, the Celtics' recent offensive momentum is so strong that Phil Jackson has to consider whether the opponent's counterattack after accumulating strength in the second half will turn the situation around.
Therefore, both Rivers and Thibodeau are betting that Phil Jackson is reluctant to give up such a good lead. He will take advantage of the opportunity of the Celtics' rotation to let the team continue to expand the score.
After all, the players of the Celtics on the field are not the main force now. If Kobe's current fierce state can be used to kill his opponent, even a "Zen master" will not be able to resist this kind of **.
Of course, this gambling is a little dangerous. Once the players on the court can't stand it, it will be all ruined. Rivers and Siberdu are not in their hearts, but this situation makes them decide to gamble.
Anyway, it's not good to drag on. It's better to fight. If it's done, not only is the Lakers difficult to play in the later game, but the initiative is likely to begin to be controlled by itself in a few minutes.
"I hope what the boy said can really do it." Rivers could only comfort himself in this way.
"It shouldn't be too bad, and Chris, we still take the initiative in the inside confrontation."
Although Xibodu is a little uncertain about what kind of scene will happen, he still uses his usual calm analysis ability to carefully measure the gap between the two sides, replacing Weber in the inside line, in order to find an opportunity for Chen Feng to take the initiative to attack, and with Weber sitting under the basket, the offensive efficiency can also be higher. Some.
"It seems that the boss is still worried about the practical role of you, the little guy, that's why he is so worried."
Looking at Rivers and Siberdo's whispering on the sidelines, Weber, who is already an old Fried Tiao in the NBA, of course, knows what his coach is worried about. The boy around him is the key now.
"It is said that the older the world is, the more timid he is. The boss has only been a coach for a few years. Why is he so timid? I can't. If it's the old guy Red, he must be jumping up and playing with his opponent!"
Thanks to Rivers for not hearing Chen Feng's words, otherwise the chubby guy would really immediately jump high and roar with this wild boy, "I'm a normal person!" Can you compare with the cardinal?"
When Weber heard such an answer, he was speechless. In addition to saying that the one in front of him was an animal, he also had to say that an old man like Auerbach, the whole NBA, only came out in 50 years.
And these two guys were still in Boston, and they came together. In addition, an old fox like Takanien was stirring up trouble next to him. This is really a group of people and a group, and they are all evil.
Now Rivers can rely on the fierceness of this little demon. He can only pray that this boy can really be fierce, drag the Lakers guys on the field and add some chips to this gambling.
Can you drag Phil Jackson into such a war of attrition? Rivers can only do his best to follow his fate. I hope this ** is big enough to make the Zen master move his heart...
