Chapter 351 Boston Scum Group
During the summer transfer period in previous years, whether there are big-name stars to test the water or not, it can basically be lingering until the opening day of the training camp, but this year, the lineup is basically finalized early.
So the two or three teams have not agreed on the intention to trade. Most of the teams have basically built the framework for the new season. At most, it depends on how well the players can run into each other.
Anyway, if the running-in is good, it is fortunate. If the running-in is not good, it is the sinking of the ship. The current NBA is like this. Either one step up to the sky, or just fall into the eighteenth floor of hell. The polarization is really a little serious.
But the running-in period of a team is always determined by the real game. Although you hold a good player in your hand, if you can't run in place all the time, it must be worse than holding a bad card.
Now Rivers is in such a mood. Others are envious and jealous, but he himself is at a loss.
As predicted by the outside world, the player configuration of the Celtics is not so bloated now, but everyone who can stay is basically a battle. Er, in fact, there are also one or two left to play soy sauce.
For example..., Scarla Bryan, such as Eddie House, but you can't ask the Celtics to pull out any one of them. Then you can't let other teams get along this season.
In fact, Angie is quite kind. Although he robbed people fiercely in the transfer market, at least this guy didn't catch it all, and he still left a way for others to live. Well, in fact, it's really kind.
The main reason is that Boston's boss is not so generous. If he can bear the salary burden of 100 million US dollars per season, it is estimated that Angie is really in the mood to put a row of ruthless people on the bench who have the potential to enter the All-Star.
But now the equipment of the Celtics is also luxurious, not to mention unprecedented. Anyway, if someone wants to copy it, at least they have to prepare cash to pay luxury tax, otherwise it will be useless.
The energy of the small Celtic group alone is enough to make the strong in the East jealous and hate, Cassel, Ronda, Tony Allen, Ray Allen, Spreville, Hardaway, and Novak.
This lineup is not to mention scary. Anyway, if you throw it in front of anyone, I guess the other party will feel a little trembling. The most important thing is that these guys are too practical, and they are absolutely experienced!
Needless to say, Kassel can fight in the playoffs like an animal in the Rockets in the rookie season.
When he was with the Rockets, he won the championship. Speaking of this experience, I'm afraid Kassel is the richest on the Celtics' side. What's more, he and the Clippers reached the Western Conference semi-finals last season.
And the stag, the Clippers, even if it is a star-filled place, this guy can also rely on his alien face, and the fast or slow hand, but it is an extremely accurate mid-range shot to kill everywhere.
But if it comes to a big heart, it is estimated that Kassel is definitely the number one person. He may not be as rebellious as Robert Horry, but at the critical moment, the designation will not be soft, and it can also ensure a super hit rate.
Rivers needs such an old man like a sea god needle, especially when the game shows a sticky state, an accurate shot can often disrupt the opponent's foot, and then make the opponent collapse.
Well, this old guy is really easy to use, and he is quite familiar with Rondo. This is probably because the faces of the two people are really similar, and they may come from the same planet.
However, if Rondo can stay with Kassel for two more years, he will definitely benefit a lot. Even Thibodu himself said that if it is really better to teach, maybe Kassel's practical experience is more suitable for teaching others.
Especially in the game, this is obviously not just an old ruffian who can play on the court.
It also found a guiding light for the future point guard core of the Celtics. If the old guy can really stay in Boston as an assistant coach after retiring, Cedar Du will definitely find the most suitable partner.
With these two guys controlling the rhythm, there is a strong defensive Tony Allen behind, and an Eddie House who can stand up and contribute at any time on the bench. This guard line is also reliable.
Sprewell's old bones may have weakened scoring ability, but the defensive strength has been increasing.
Especially in last season's playoffs, this old guy is not frighte when he meets anyone. This is the barrier that the Celtics have not crossed the Pistons. Otherwise, if he really enters the Eastern Conference finals, can the little emperor of the Cavaliers be so relaxed?
Maybe you can't stand the solid little emperor, but you absolutely shouldn't think that Sprewell can't deal with that kind of muscular man. Uncle Bao is actually a little trembling when he meets a bandit like Sprewell.
After all, Uncle Bao is a yin at most, but that old madman is really kicking. How can he be black? How can he do it?
Now the defense outside the Celtics is a little infected by this old madman, all like a loser.
After the second round of the Pistons, Hamilton was seriously injured and retired. Do you dare to say that it was not the black hands of these animals?
Even the Pistons know how black these crazy people in Boston are. Can others escape?
There is no need to be melancholy in defense now, and the old guy with this ticket is quite skilled.
As for the attack, there is also the old "pence" Hardaway. Maybe this guy is not as sharp as he was young, but as long as he can stay healthy and be a bench bandit or something, it is probably not a problem.
Don't forget that there are also Ray Allen and Nowak in terms of scoring. In the past, Rivers was relatively melancholy. The area of attack firepower on the periphery was not large enough. Now there is no need to think about this problem. The three-point gun is absolutely fierce!
Ray Allen goes without saying. With him on the periphery, basically the shooting point outside the three-point line, this guy can be round. At least this guy also has a chance to surpass a big bug recorded by Reggie Miller!
In fact, even Novak, who was about to be abandoned by the Rockets, also performed all the way last season, especially in the playoffs, the extremely accurate three-pointer from the outside, which made the Pistons very embarrassed.
Although his breakthrough ability is average, as long as the inside line can suppress the opponent, Novak's ability to find opportunities on the periphery is still very strong, and with Rondo, an ammunition distributor, are you afraid that there is no shooting space?
Anyway, the configuration of the defender line is really luxurious enough. It can be protruding, can be thrown, and there are also medium-range fire. Pierce's all-round configuration can basically be placed in any position to play a role.
In addition, in addition to the three-pointer, Ray Allen is no less than the technique of holding the ball. Although he is not as sharp as Kobe or Iverson, at the critical moment, as long as he is given space, he can really get in.
Although this kind of partner may not be as popular as Iverson and Anthony, it is better in stability.
Pierce rarely has big ups and downs, and Ray Allen's stability is reflected in the shooting.
As long as you give space, give him a chance, and let him take action, this guy really dares to throw one into one. Occasionally, there is an explosive period, that is, the moment of 40+. With this kind of scoring combination, in that team, you have to provide it.
However, Rivers has not yet planned to move out his tactical focus. After all, you can't defeat your playoff opponents by shooting alone. Only face-to-face fighting can you curb your opponent within control as much as possible.
Inside, this is definitely the top priority, and the advantage that can be won in the inside fight last season is that the team can always enter the second round of the East District. This advantage is that Rivers will not only not give up, but also strengthen!
Maybe the Celtics' internal height has no advantage. Chen Feng is less than two or ten meters, and Perkins is also half-tall but not short. Skara Bryan is soy sauce, and only Webb and Garnett's height meets the standard.
Lattlieff and Jefferson, but the Celtics strengthened the inside strength. Their confrontation ability must be more fierce than last season. Garnett with Chen Feng, this Nima, is two animals!
Not to mention the embarrassment of Garnett always playing in the Western Playoffs, it depends on the staffing of the Timberwolves who has always been half dead. Only when Garnett is here can they have a chance to enter the stage of the playoffs.
The man who can wrestle with Duncan is not so good. Garnett's role in the inside line is obvious to all. At least in a one-on-one situation, even Shi Buddha scratched his head when he meets this one.
When the Wolf King left this time, it is estimated that the Timberwolves will definitely sink for two or three years. Even if the latecomers have the ability to integrate the team and establish their own leadership, they will have to have a transition time.
From this, it can also be seen that the existence of Garnett is also the fundamental reason why Angie finally made up her mind to trade. It is really worth gambling with such a fierce guy in the team.
In addition to Perkins, Webb, Little Fat Glen Davis, James Posey, and Skara Bryan and Scott Pollard squatted on the bench. Isn't this lineup thick?
The main reason is that the core is strong. Garnett and Chen Feng are the kind of inside players who are very desperate to defend and ferocious to attack, and the role of Weber and Perkins is one attack and one defense, which also complements each other.
Now that the Celtics are armed to the teeth, Rivers no longer has to worry about how to arrange troops. The guy under him can take it out to fight for a while. This kind of happiness is really rare.
Last season, Rivers had a headache for the team members. Even if there are three or four people watching this season, he can still piece together a lineup to kill the opponent, which also increases his confidence.
It's just that in the eyes of others, such a group of animals gathered together, er, it looks like a group of scum, Boston scum group, it seems that the name is a little worthy of the name...
