Chapter 265 It's okay to give you a point
Even if Phil Jackson has been in the NBA for so long, he may not have thought that Rivers, who has just entered the league for a few years, would choose to dig such a deep hole for him on the road.
Rivers has never been the kind of character who looks very shrewd in front of people. No matter what the situation is, this chubby guy has always made people feel that he is a transitioner with insufficientness.
Especially after the Celtics fell sharply last season, after the East didn't even qualify for the playoffs.
Not only are the fans very dissatisfied, the team's results have plummeted, and even Pierce has news that he is leaving. Most people think that if there is no change this season, Rivers is getting closer and closer to getting out of Boston. Many people may think that he can't survive this game. Season.
Before the start of the season, the team's staffing has not been smooth. Except for Rondo and Chen Feng, the Celtics have almost no decent transfer deals. Rivers is also thought by many reporters that he may be one of the candidates who will end classes very early in the new season. Maybe no one will think that this guy can still stay in Boston. Go.
It's just such a guy who quietly brought the Celtics to the top six in the East.
Many people may say that this guy is lucky enough. Boston drew such a potential rookie as Rondo and Chen Feng, and Angie also speculatively dealt with powerful supplements such as Weber and Sprewell.
Anyway, most people focus on what they can see and ignore the role of Rivers in pinching the team. They also forget a very important thing. The tactics are all arranged by the coach.
The addition of the players is only one aspect of the Celtics' recovery. The team that holds a good card in hand but plays extremely badly is not one or two. The Knicks is also a big card, but what's the result? Isn't it rotten to the bone? I didn't see the "Smiling Assassin" Thomas play any tricks on these good cards in his hand.
It's just that Rivers is not so famous, and his entry time is still short, so he is a completely ignored role in the head coach circle, and few people pay attention to this low-key fat man.
"No matter how good the players are, if no one pinch them, they will be scattered. If no one even pays attention to this thing, then I can only say that these guys really don't know basketball." This is Murphy's opinion.
That's true. Few people really notice what the fat man who often stands in the Celtics' rest area and watches the whole game has done, but his players understand and know what the fat man thinks.
In fact, many people have ignored one point. In the fierce wave of points-grabbing offensive of the Celtics on Christmas Eve, it was the tone that Rivers set for the team first. He completely disrupted the situation in the East in this way, so that the strong in the East had to be led by the Celtics, and many strong teams involved They began to be forced to exert their efforts, like the Heat and the Nets, which were all messed up by these Boston bandits.
But few people noticed that this was a ghost behind Rivers, and many people even thought that it was because of such a wild guy as Chen Feng that made the Celtics intermittently go crazy before Christmas.
It is such a fat man who doesn't like to stand in front of people. On the territory of Los Angeles people, he dug a big hole for the Zen master of the old Jianghu. His adventure made the old Jianghu also fall.
Unfortunately, Phil Jackson has never been God. He can't see everything in the world and can't understand why Rivers dares to make such a decision. Anyway, when he reacts, he has fallen into that pit.
Phil Jackson is also a standard person. The confrontation is so difficult that it has touched the nerves of the old guy. He now knows what the Celtics are thinking, but he didn't think that Rivers really dares to be so bold. That guy is really a little too insidious. It is.
The fat, a little simple appearance is absolutely very deceptive. Even Phil Jackson was kept in the dark. He really didn't expect that he was tricked by Rivers like this.
This move is absolutely very gloomy and very dangerous. This is not for the Lakers, but for the Celtics. Rivers' tactical adjustment is definitely walking the tightrope or walking at a height of hundreds of meters without a safety rope. Once the Lakers' attack is smooth, then the Celtics It's almost impossible for the team to play a turnaround in the back. Rivers is completely betting on winning or losing.
And it's still a few minutes. The Celtics want to rebound in the back, but the first thing to take is the risk before the end of the second quarter. They must hold back the Lakers.
Not only to bite the score, but also to hurt the Lakers fiercely, and then let Phil Jackson dare not easily replace the main players to avoid a collapse. This is completely playing a desperate gamble.
If it is really done, the Celtics can not only win the opportunity for the main force to rest and adjust, but also drag the Lakers' main force on the field, and even consume the opponent's physical energy more violently.
Losing is a situation of a thousand miles, but Rivers made such a bet. When everyone thought he was playing with fire, the Celtics surprisingly played the most fierce wave of attacks.
Those animals were even more fierce than when they first opened the game. They didn't give the Lakers any chance to breathe at all. They came up and attacked wildly. Although the loopholes on the defensive end were obvious, these guys just used more fierce attacks as a counterattack to make up for their shortcomings in defense, which was completely a pair of attack. Potential.
Although the Lakers' attack is about ten in the league, so far this season, no team has been so fierce and defenseless against the Lakers at the Staples Arena!
It is estimated that everyone is a little stunned when they see this scene. After all, the Celtics have replaced the three main players of the starting lineup. How can they be so tough? And it not only reversed the previous unfavorable situation, but also dragged the Lakers to fight with them and did not dare to lower the whole speed at all.
Now this is really the Celtics dragging the Lakers to accelerate. If it was Phil Jackson's strategy to control the rhythm before, then now the rhythm like a frenzy has long been under his control.
Everyone thought that after Pierce and they left the field, the Celtics would try their best to slow down the pace of each attack and defense conversion, so that at least they would not be killed by the Lakers' fast attack. Even Phil Jackson arranged the game on the sidelines. During the operation, they all hoped that the team could play faster and strive to mess up the Celtics' rotation, but now it's all the other way around!
As a result, such a scene has never appeared at all, and before the Lakers started violently, the Celtics have accelerated ahead of time, and their impact speed is much more straightforward than that of the Lakers!
This is no longer the Lakers trying to speed up to disrupt the pace of the Celtics, but the Celtics forcing Phil Jackson's team to run desperately. Only in this way can they keep up with their impact.
Now it's not a question of whether the Lakers want to run or not, and they dare not run. They want to stabilize the speed and rhythm, but the bandits who can help Boston are not going to give them this opportunity at all. As long as the Lakers want to control the ball, someone will definitely stick to it and start to steal fiercely. Move.
Rondo has made at least two flying steals, which has made Smash Parker, who has always been in charge of controlling the ball, panicked. In fact, this guy's ball control ability is not weak, but he has never seen such a fierce defense.
Defenders who can sneak out on the streets of New York have a good ball possession, and Smash Parker is no exception, but he has never seen a newcomer who can be more desperate than Rondo, an ET-like guy.
That's true. As long as you are not careful, the ball is a little farther away from the body, and it may be broken by Rondo behind you, and that guy doesn't rely on some very stable card position to defend you at all. He just wants to stick to you fiercely and then force yourself to make mistakes. This kind of defense is not very stable, but it is cruel enough to attack. Spicy!
Ordinary people will never attack so fiercely in the second quarter, but that's what the animals in Boston did, and it was surprisingly fierce, as if the game was over in a few minutes left!
Chen Feng's guys know quite well. At this time, if they don't fight harder and let their opponents be more calm, their situation will be embarrassing. Instead of playing steadily, it's better to play black at both ends of the attack and defense.
In fact, it's not only Rondo's fierce fight. The main battlefield is actually on the fight on the inside line. Kobe's impact in the face of Tony Allen's defense has not stopped, but Chen Feng's strong attack is extremely resolute. Rivers has decentralized power to this boy and let him decide how to attack. Chen Feng really just gives a shot. Climb.
In the previous game, Chen Feng did not monopolize the right to play, but in these five minutes, this guy almost won all the mobile phone games, and only Weber had a mid-range jump shot on the weak side.
Except for Weber's jump shot, all attacks launched on the inside line are almost dominated by Chen Feng.
Whether it is the charge of holding the ball near the three-point line or the singles after receiving Weber's pass on the inside line, this guy has no intention of passing the ball. Anyway, regardless of Bynum's defense or Odom's defense, Chen Feng is a careful defeat of his opponent. In five minutes, this guy won 10 on the inside line of the Lakers. Score!
Rivers and Siberdu clearly knew that Chen Feng had that kind of tough offensive ability, but they didn't expect that this boy would be so wild. No matter what the situation, he dared to fight against his opponent.
Rondo played hard on the defensive end, while Chen Feng played wildly on the offensive side, especially when the boy won the fifth consecutive attack. The tyrannical style made the whole court dumb.
It was Chen Feng who received a pass from Tony Allen near the three-second zone. Bynum was stuck at that time, but before the guy could resist, Chen Feng suddenly shook his back and cut in.
The cutting speed is very fast, the strength is quite large, and before exerting the force, Chen Feng also had a false action, which made Bynum's center of gravity pause for a moment because of hesitation, and this guy lost the opportunity to defend.
After the fake action, what burst out was the fierce power crushing, and Chen Feng stepped into the position first.
This is definitely the most annoying thing for Bynum. In his confrontation with Chen Feng, he can never grab a favorable position. Every time he passively let the other party lead his nose, and then there is no good way to change this reality. This time, he wanted to get stuck in Chen Feng, but he was stuck by Chen Feng. Behind him, the other party just used a simple fake action to deal with this big guy with tall arms!
However, Odom's retreat speed is really not slow. This guy came up almost at the moment when Chen Feng wiped it under the basket. He didn't even consider whether Chen Feng could pass the ball. It was completely a fierce expression to press the opponent under the basket, but the guy he faced was obviously a little more fiercer than himself. Mouth!
Chen Feng really didn't choose to pass the ball, and Odom rushed up quickly. The pass may be broken.
In this case, Chen Feng simply did not pass. Relying on his advantage of starting first, Chen Feng forced to jump between the two people before Odom's frontal interception and Bynum's rear defense.
From wiping Bynum to Chen Feng's jump, it was only two steps away, but Chen Feng's shiny bald head soared up under the bag of the two big guys and grabbed the ball with both hands and hit the basket fiercely.
Chen Feng really didn't think about whether he could be held down by the other party at all. At this time, he could only stuff the basketball into the basket fiercely. The fierce figure was quite violent and wild in the air.
No matter who the two people take out alone, the physique can fight with Chen Feng, but in such a confrontation, the joint blockade between Odom and Bynum was fiercely torn open by Chen Feng!
The trembling of the basket was like a stone thrown into the lake. The shocking ripples began to spread infinitely, and the shouts of the whole Staples Arena really calmed down at this moment.
No one wants to use such silence to render the atmosphere for their swornment, but this explosive offensive scene really stimulated everyone's heart, and even Phil Jackson has frowned.
This is the attitude shown by the Celtics, strong, fierce and desperate, even if it is on other people's territory, even if they are now a rotating lineup, they still dare to be popular with you!
In less than five minutes, five fouls allowed the Lakers to throw six goals, but the score on the court has been tied by these Boston beasts! The atmosphere of the whole Staples Arena is depressing and dull.
This is already a reality. Although it is only five minutes before the end of the second quarter, under this high-speed confrontation, the main players of the Lakers who have played for more than 20 minutes in a row have felt that their running is a little difficult. This is not their physical strength, but this kind of high-intensity confrontation, squeezing physical energy. It is the most ferocious, and they have never had a chance to adjust, and Phil Jackson did not dare to replace him easily.
In fact, when Phil Jackson realizes this, he is already a little reluctant to go. If he chooses to adjust the lineup at this time, there may not be any consequences, because the score has been flattened by the Celtics, and the expansion he envisioned score has long been disrupted. .
The main reason is that the Celtics rushed too fiercely. In less than five minutes of the game, it was a speed rush down. Whether it was attacking or defending, the whole game was pressed to keep an eye on people, and it was completed at high speed.
Do you want to be stable? How could those animals give you this opportunity, especially Chen Feng? They didn't let the inside line of Odom and Bynum jointly defend to take a breath. His attacks were all stormy.
Rivers replaced Weber's role at this time and it was highlighted. There was this guy responding on the flank, and he also had an accurate mid-range shot, which made Odom's defense.
A five-minute strong confrontation, a 16:12 score. It is estimated that no Lakers fan wants to see such a scene. His main force is still at a disadvantage when he plays with someone else's rotation!
Who can stand this? Even Phil Jackson rarely stood on the sidelines, but the old guy left a little late, and the last ten seconds left in the second quarter were over.
Although the Lakers have the last chance to attack, even if they make it, what can they do? The Celtics' gang have been resting for five or six minutes on the sidelines, while the main lineup of the Lakers has been struggling with Chen Feng's animals on the court for so long. The worst thing is that their momentum is suppressed by their opponents!
It was originally a wave of opportunities to kill the opponent, but now it's good. Not only did it fail to kill the opponent, but it was dragged on the court by the Celtics, and the damn score was even! No wonder Phil Jackson frowned at the sidelines. I guess the old hot Zen master didn't expect such a result.
Kobe's attack is still extremely sharp. In front of Tony Allen, the number one killer's score is still unstoppable, but in the last attack of the second quarter, Kobe's shot was hollow into the basket again.
But the Lakers fans didn't have time to cheer for this quasi-kill. The Celtics actually launched a counterattack again with three seconds left. Rondo's accurate delivery through the half-court gave Chen Feng a chance to get a back-hand layup when he cut into the basket at high speed, but Bynum's defense this time was really a little Fierce.
Bynum's big slap slapped him fiercely, but this guy didn't hit the basketball, but Chen Feng's hand. Such an obvious foul not only gave Chen Feng two free throws, but also made Bynum's fourth foul. Although Chen Feng only had two free throws and one hit, it made Phil Jackson not at all. The feeling of relaxation, only one point ahead of the Celtics! But his main center has fouled four times now! How can he play the next game? Do you use Kwame Brown?
Even Bynum can't withstand Chen Feng's impact, and he still expects that the soft egg to withstand it? Phil Jackson is now considering whether his team has to deal with a situation without a center in the next two quarters?
No wonder at the end of the game, Rivers patted Chen Feng on the shoulder and said, "What if we let them lead by one point? We will definitely win this game. It's quite good to beat those guys in Los Angeles. You wild guys are destined to be remembered by these Lakers supporters forever.
A group of animals from Boston tore the confidence of the Lakers supporters fiercely and crazily with their own hands in the five-minute extreme charge. These five minutes are the most gorgeous for them!
So these guys dare to shout at each other, so why don't I give you a point!
