Chapter 303 The Head of the Atlantic Ocean
Three consecutive wins will not satisfy the appetite of Rivers and his wild children. Kill the Knicks, beat the Eagles, and step on the supersonic. The opponent is not very powerful, but they can provide enough wins.
The Celtics' desire for victory is simply outrageous. No matter which team appears in front of them, these guys dare to open their mouths and take a bite and tear off a piece of meat.
Get more wins, put more pressure on the leading team in front of you, and force those guys to make mistakes. Even if you can't wait for the opportunity to surpass the other side, you will make those high-ranking guys feel scared.
Rivers requires everyone to cheer up. At the end of the regular season, he always maintains a strong oppressive situation, increases the burden on all potential opponents, and makes their nerves tense to a limit. In the past, it was people who put pressure on the Celtics, but now, feng shui also has to take turns. It is.
If the rise of the Celtics at the beginning of the season has shocked many people, the mid-term attack and the current strong plunder have long left an indelible impression on more people.
"It's a group of crazy guys. They are fierce, tough, and unscrupulous. The main purpose is to attack the opponent's confidence. As long as you meet these guys, you'd better start praying to God immediately. If there is a miracle, maybe you can be saved. Otherwise, there is only endless torture waiting for you. . "
This is a paragraph written by a New York basketball commentator in his column. He thinks it is really appropriate to comment on the Celtics' evil performance this season.
This is the deep memory left by the Celtics on others. Any stadium that has been ravaged by them will not forget that there is a group of crazy people from Boston here fiercely in the short term.
Anyway, with a month left until the end of the season, most of the media will give a very accurate answer. No matter what the game is later, the biggest dark horse of the season must be the Celtics.
There is not to say how much progress other teams have made. The fierce rise of Boston has completely disrupted the inherent pattern of the East in recent seasons. Last year, it was still outside the playoffs, and this season has reached the top five!
No one can give an accurate prediction of how far they can go in the playoffs, but no one doubts that these Bostonians will lose their temper in the playoffs. As for who can stop them, it is still unknown.
From the bottom to the rise, it took less than a season for these guys. Who dares to ignore these big guys from Boston now? Unless you are alive.
It can't be said that all the strong Eastern teams now regard the Celtics as a threat to win the championship, but they are paying attention to such a potential force, and no one knows what kind of momentum these guys can burst out.
Even after securing a place in the playoffs, the Pistons' coach Sanders said publicly that if he had to choose a playoff opponent, he definitely hoped to avoid the Celtics before the final.
"If we still want to re-enter the finals, it's better not to meet a fierce opponent in the second round. The impact of the Celtics is a huge impact on any team."
"If I can choose an opponent, I hope to be the last to meet the Celtics. It is absolutely very dangerous to face an opponent who is not sure what trouble it can cause you."
This is not what Sanders is putting on smoke bombs. If possible, he really hopes that the later he meets the Celtics, the better. It is really difficult for ordinary people to stop the destructive power created by those little crazy people.
Even if it is the first in the East like the Pistons, if you meet a group of unreasonable crazy people, you will probably have a headache. If you have a choice, it's better to let these guys harm others and don't spoil yourself.
For the tickets for the playoffs, Rivers and the Celtics are now taking it step by step. If you think too much, you will often seem a little shrunk, and you may not be able to let go of your opponent.
Anyway, it has become a big dark horse in the regular season. These guys are now happy to hit any possible victory, so that they can go further in the eastern ranking, and no one will take the initiative to stop.
However, when there are only about ten games left in the game, teams such as the Pistons, the Cavaliers and the Bulls have locked a ticket in advance. The only change may be the position in the playoffs.
But last year's championship, the Heat, is not so lucky. They are only one step ahead of the Celtics now. If they are not careful, they are likely to be overtaken by Boston's cattle.
And not only did the strong rise of Boston bring an impact to the last championship, but even the Raptors are now following behind, like a predator, staring at Miami, which has been in trouble recently.
Those who have been champions all have the idea of defending their titles, but there are really few teams that fluctuate so much as the Heat. After all, their winning team has not changed much, and most of them have chosen to stay in the team.
But it is such a lineup, but it is a mess this season. The main reasons are O'Neal and injury and suspension, as well as Wade's two injuries, plus the negative slack of several veterans in the team.
After winning the championship and having a ring, some people's enthusiasm has disappeared. For example, Peyton and Walker, the competitive level of these veterans has shown a downward trend, which is not under Riley's control.
Winning the championship is already a success and fame for these old guys. If you don't do it, you have to risk your best to fight with a group of little wild people to the end. It is estimated that only a beneficial person like Mo Ning can still be conscientious.
Without a sense of ambition, it is natural for the Heat's level to slide down. Its free fall also gives the Celtics and latecomers a kind of driving force to surpass.
The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach. This is all very rare. Not only if you were the champion last year, you may only be in the middle position in the eastern competition this season.
At present, the three have locked the tickets for the playoffs, and the Heat has to worry about being surpassed by the latecomers. I have to say that no matter how strong you were before, no one can escape this natural law when there will be a weak day.
Even a calculating old deep-fried dough stick like Pat Riley can't create a miracle every season to defend the championship. Now this sentence is more like an irony for the Heat.
Of course, in the playoffs, experience and background cannot be ignored. No one dares to assert that this heat enters the playoffs as a supporting role. The old man's energy in the playoffs must not be underestimated.
What Rivers needs to consider now is not to kill the Heat, the roadblock in front of him, but to completely suppress the Nets and the Raptors that can bring him an impact in the Atlantic Division.
The 76ers have completely fallen, leaving the core Iverson and buying out Webb. The team announced early in the middle of the season that their goal is the summer draft.
Although there is Iguodala, the core of the newcomer, their strength is at most a mess. If they are not at the bottom of the East, it is already lucky. It can only be said that the Bucks and the Knicks play worse than them.
The Nets and the 76ers have been at the top of the Atlantic Division for several seasons, and now one of their competitors has fallen out of schedule, and the rest of the New Jersey Nets have become a little lingering.
The seventh in the East, this is the current situation of the Nets. Although the gap between them and the Raptors is not big, they still retain the opportunity to overtake in the regular season with more than a dozen games left.
But for New Jersey fans who have reached the finals twice, the team they used to be proud of has become a hero, and the Nets led by Kidd are gradually losing their edge.
However, compared with the momentum of the previous seasons, the current fall is predictable. The player structure has not been adjusted in place, the boss is reluctant to spend money and invest, and the manager is even more unreliable.
It is not easy for such a team that has never had a big star to continue to join. It is not easy to maintain its competitiveness in the East. You can only say that Kidd is really awesome. He can drag the Nets to maintain a strong strength in the Atlantic Division, but no matter how tough they are, they can't resist continuous consumption. This season's The Nets have finally exhausted their potential. It is the greatest success to get tickets for the playoffs.
In the face of the two-way attack of the Celtics and the Raptors, Old Kidd can't stand it. He can only a little unwillingness to abdicate in advance. The ownership of the Atlantic Division of this season is no longer what he can decide. In the competition with the two new generations, the Nets only won two games at the beginning of the season, and the rest are all Defeat.
The old king of the Atlantic Division abdicated, leaving behind a chair, and the contenders are the Celtics and the Raptors. The rankings are comparable. Compared with the results, they are all a little thick and thin.
At the beginning of the season, the Raptors were once reduced to the laughing stock of the league because they selected a quite smuggled champion, but a month later, the impact of these guys broke out, and even rushed to the top four.
Chris Bosh's outbreak began to sprint fiercely with the Raptors. If it weren't for the weakness in the later stage, these guys might have ranked higher than the Celtics now and have a better chance to become the new dark horse.
But he didn't do it. Chris Bosh is really fierce, and the average data of 23+10 per game is also eye-catching, but this guy is unlucky and unlucky to meet an animal that is tougher than himself.
There is always a little nemesis on the basketball court. If this thing really exists, then Chris Bosh's nemesis may really be the bald boy who rises in Boston.
Four games! Four full games! That's really all kinds of **. The first three games are fine. It can be said that the pretext is the running-in period or the other party's state is hot.
But the last game was really after the Celtics' consecutive games, and the Raptors basically greeted these guys who had just won three consecutive victories at home with ease.
But with the advantage of the home court, the Raptors were also beaten up. In the first quarter, they wanted to take advantage of the tiredness of the Celtics' continuous battles and rushed up.
As a result, the Raptors had not yet begun to charge. The Celtics' cattle had already taken the lead in swinging the big stick. 11:0, less than three minutes after the opening, they slapped their heads.
Michelle, the head coach of the Raptors, really wants to yell at Rivers, "Nima, this is our home court, okay? Can you not always be like this! There is no reason for this mother!"
Tianli, that's a divine thing. If someone prevents the Celtics from being a predator now, then Rivers absolutely doesn't mind killing even the old man of God, and the one who blocks me will die! This is the creed of these animals!
Michelle was very tragic. She thought she could win back a city at home, but the result was still that she died before she won. She was the shame of being swept by her opponent 4-0 throughout the season. There is no hope to regain face this season.
However, it must be Chris Bosh who is worse than Michelle. Originally, in the first four or five games, this guy's data had averaged 28+10 per game. As a result, as soon as he met Chen Feng, he was immediately beaten back to his original form.
15 points and 6 rebounds, which is Chris Bosh's contribution to the whole game, and he got the result after playing for 43 minutes, which is only two more points and three fewer rebounds than Perkins' data.
Just like in the pre-season, after a season of baptism, Chris Bosh has become more comprehensive, but Chen Feng has also become more livestock.
Only face-to-face confrontation can you feel the pressure. Chris Bosh was trying to get rid of such a wolf-like guy as Chen Feng and give himself a sense of oppression throughout the game.
It appears beside you all the time, and then every time you see each other, you will be ruthlessly hit. What kind of hard life is this? Look at Chris Bosh and you will know.
In the first five times, he was blocked twice, twice was disturbed, and once three times were not touched. Looking at the aggriety shape of her main core on the court, Michelle really wanted to change it directly for Chris Bosh at that time.
But except that guy, really no one can continue to stand under the basket and shoulder the impact of Chen Feng. The main reason is that no one can suppress Chen Feng's offensive desire.
Throughout the season, Chris Bosh, even if he met a big guy like O'Neill, he was not so aggrieved. Throughout the game, he was pressed, his attack was intercepted, and his defense was blown.
If you can, Chris Bosh really wants to hold Chen Feng's thigh and cry, "Your sister, I'm not such a bully. It's almost a season. Can't you let me do it once!"
Chris Bosh's aggrieved little appearance was like a devastated little daughter-in-law. After the game, Chen Feng was a little unbearable. "Actually, I really don't have a holiday with him, to be honest!"
In the face of such a response, Murphy and Xie Miaomiao, who came to interview, were speechless. There was no holiday. Well, did you just ** each other like this? Everyone can see that Chris Bosh doesn't even want to touch the edge of the three-second zone in the fourth quarter. As long as he holds the ball, he immediately chooses a mid-range jump shot and doesn't cut in at all.
This is not a safer mid-range jump shot. The main reason is that Chris Bosh is really a little afraid of being fanned by Chen Feng. It's quite humiliating to block, but what's more humiliating is definitely to fan with the ball.
The four blocks were all given to the same person. No matter how strong Chris Bosh's nerves are, it is estimated that he can't withstand such destruction. It's hard enough for this miserable baby to keep playing for more than 40 minutes.
It really makes people want to die. One ** is a season, and no one can stand it. Chris Bosh met Chen Feng's four confrontations, and the score basically did not exceed 20, let alone rebounds.
Not only him, but in fact, the Raptors are like this. They are in the same Atlantic Division. They have to bump into each other four times in a season. As a result, the four confrontations are completely defeated.
It's really not a chance at all. Rivers said on the training ground before the start of the season that the Celtics' goal this season is to regain the top position in the Atlantic Division.
The championship is in the future. The first step is to cut off the competitors in the same zone, so that these guys know who is the boss of the Atlantic Division!
Boston came back, starting from conquering the Atlantic Division! They won't give up the position of the division boss to anyone easily. The Nets can't do it, nor can the Raptors. Everyone has to stand aside!
Although the Celtics are competing for the fourth place with the Heat in the Eastern Division, these fierce guys have become the masters in the Atlantic Division.
against other opponents in the same area, four-win Raptors and 76ers, continuous slaughter of the Knicks, only the Nets can take a victory from them, and the rest of the games are won by these animals.
Conquer the East! It starts from conquering the Atlantic Division at your feet and winning the first place in the division. Will the tickets for the playoffs be far away?
The wildness of Boston is bound to sweep the whole east...
(Alas, the Spurs are really rich in that kind of key killer. Who would have thought that the last three-point kill was Danny Green! Lakers, you can be more careful. You let Gasol throw three points in less than 9 seconds, which is too unreliable!!!)
