Chapter 360 The Presence that cannot be ignored
The speculation of the outside world is not without reason. Although Chen Feng's playing time is not much, his score is indeed compared with the data of the previous season. In the same time, he is nearly 4 points less and 3 fewer.
More often, this boy is not taking root in the inside line as before, but more wandering.
Therefore, the number of shots taken by Chen Feng under the basket has been sharply reduced, but the frontal assault is indeed very fierce.
However, the farther away from the basket, the lower the success rate of the attack is. This is the truth that everyone understands. Chen Feng's attack is no exception. Although his mid-range shooting is much more accurate compared with the previous season, the aggressive attack under the basket is far from being made up for by a few middle shots, and the efficiency is naturally not high. It is.
It's just that in the rebound, Chen Feng's data has an obvious rise, and even a block has been added. In terms of following defense and blocking, he seems to be much more professional than last season.
Especially in the defense after blocking and dismantling, his horizontal interception ability can often force his opponent to cut into the inside line at the first time after successfully blocking and dismantling, and then directly threaten the basket.
After a few games, all the little man who tried to cut into the basket and cause trouble was fiercely intercepted several times by a big guy like Chen Feng. The bald head** that came out of the stabbing was not a little deterrent.
You can only understand how lethal the strong power is until you are hit by this guy once.
Anyway, people who have tried it once will never think about the painful experience again. This defensive strength is even worse than those old guys in Kassel, which is really the fatal consequence of shooting you directly.
For those professionals, this represents that a person's technical and tactical consciousness is taking shape, especially in the selection of filling positions and card positions, which can cause trouble for the opponent's breakthrough and is beneficial to the whole defensive formation.
But fans prefer to see Chen Feng's wild dunks and fierce impact, which are what they enjoy, although the Celtics have never been the kind of showtime performance team.
But there are still more people who like to see the team burst out dazzling **, especially Chen Feng.
With him, the team can play well. With him, the atmosphere of the whole North Shore Garden Arena can be bursting!
However, Rivers doesn't seem to have any plans to give Chen Feng any privileges on the inside line recently. How to play and how to play, and Garnett's mobile phone will be significantly more. The attack under the basket also takes "Wolf King" as the main firepower point.
Chen Feng's scoring data is also a little bland, and even Webb can easily surpass him.
I'm afraid the only thing he can do recently is rebounding. Whether it's offensive rebounds or defensive rebounds, this boy is simply a posture. Whoever dares to grab him is completely looking for death.
In the game with the Nets, Chen Feng grabbed six front-court rebounds under the attack of Kidd and Jefferson, and all of them were converted into points. This kind of lethality under the basket was simply surprising.
Compared with the crazy power of last season's regular season and playoffs, Chen Feng is now silent. Even at the home court in Boston, he rarely shows that kind of violent impact.
Most of the time, Garnett and Pierce dominated the attack, while Chen Feng still stood under the basket more often to block his opponent from cutting into the basket, which led to a straight increase in his average number of fouls per game.
Including Murphy, they are speculating whether this boy followed Rivers' arrangement and began to cover Garnett's main attack, and then he spent more time protecting the penalty area and fulfilling Jefferson's original duties.
Last season, Jefferson spent most of the time covering, and Chen Feng was a commando, and after the fat guy left, it's Garnett's turn to partner with Chen Feng on the inside. Is this division of labor decided?
Not only does Murphy have this kind of question. In fact, Xie Miaomiao, as a full-time reporter who reports on Chen Feng, is also a little uncertain. Is this the arrangement of Rivers or because of Garnett's arrival?
In fact, many media reporters are waiting for the Celtics to break out some contradictions. The battle for new and old players in the position must be the highlight. The main force last season can keep several starts, which is an unknown.
According to Rivers' previous tactical adjustment, everyone is a little confused. Is it mainly new aid? Or is it mainly based on the old team? I can't tell the general idea of the first few games of the preseason.
But many people prefer the former. After all, Garnett and Ray Allen's performance in the pre-season is very eye-catching, and the personal ability of these two old guys is not picky, and they can play the main task.
Especially Garnett's attack firepower on the inside line. Although many Celtic fans still miss Jefferson's fat man, Garnett just joined the team and performed very strongly in the attack.
This guy is already a very hot temper. Once he is successful in attacking on the court, the appearance of looking up to the sky can ignite the whole team, and even drive the whole court.
This kind of wild attack is what Jefferson doesn't have. I'm afraid no one will say that this business is taking the risk. If you exchange a potential stock for such a high-performing stock, you will definitely make a profit.
And Garnett himself is very eager for honor. He accepts the terms of the deal, that is, because he is closer to the championship in Boston. For this goal, this guy will not pretend to be a big name on the court.
In the first few games of the preseason, Garnett played the hardest, scoring, rebounding, making up defense, and even nearly two steals per game. He can show his all-round skills enough.
Now many people tend to be the core of the new starter, probably because of Garnett's hot performance, and Rivers does give him enough space to show, which is undoubtedly a signal.
There are not too many big people in the inside line, but Garnett is a center in the inside line, assisting Chen Feng and Perkins, these tough guys, who can completely resist most of the inside line combinations.
Garnett is flexible enough in the inside line, the range of attack is large enough, and he has been playing in the NBA for many years, rebounding and scoring skills. This advantage in experience makes it difficult to ignore his sense of existence.
Therefore, most people prefer to be attacked by Garnett on the inside, and Chen Feng is a side car. Although the bald boy is very fierce, he is still a sophomore in the NBA.
He hasn't achieved Garnett's achievements in the NBA. If he is allowed to attack and let Garnett be his deputy, this is a surprising scene. I don't think Rivers will make such a stupid decision.
In addition, Chen Feng's data has been in a state of flatness and no bright spots recently, which has made many people have confirmed this view, and this choice seems to be the most stable.
No matter if Rivers wants to win the finals or be the boss in the East District, finding the most stable lineup and playing style is always the first problem he has to solve. Now it seems that he has reached the threshold.
While envying the Celtics' good luck, reporters and critics are also paying attention to what kind of pressure these guys will put on other teams in the regular season.
However, other people's plans do not represent Rivers' ideas, and the pre-season madness may not last until the regular season, but for outside speculation, this guy really doesn't want to reply to anything.
After all, this is a Celtics problem. It has nothing to do with reporters. How to choose tactics is also Rivers' consideration and idea. The rest of the people are bystanders. Only those who participate in it can understand the way. At least Rivers is not naive enough to discuss the team's tactical issues with others. That's the green shirt. The secret of the new season, but for Chen Feng, Rivers can only curl his lips at those who say that Chen Feng will be used as an assistant. I really don't know what kind of idiotic idea can come up with.
Use Chen Feng as an accessory? Well, don't say if Rivers has such an idea, even if it is.
Can the boy be willing to be a green leaf? Is there a one-on-one green leaf with Garnett on the training ground if you have nothing to do? Treating him as an attacking deputy, Rivers asked himself that he was not so tough for the time being.
Regarding the coexistence of Garnett and Chen Feng, Rivers and Thibodeau had considered it before the transaction was completed. Both of them have obvious personal abilities and a large range of activities.
This is completely the template of two power forwards, but one is more flexible and the other is more fierce.
No matter who is the second choice of attack, it is a waste. Rivers is not rich enough to waste all-star players, but at this stage, we focus on Garnett's problem, which makes others speculate too much.
"You have to give people a chance to integrate into the team. What's more, Garnett also needs to find the feeling of attack in the Celtics system. These guys really think too much."
Although Rivers said so, he was also a little hesitant about the use of Garnett and Chen Feng.
After all, one is an old star, and the other is the leader of the new generation. In addition, the personal ability of the two people is very strong. It is indeed a problem who is the main attack under the basket.
But Rivers did not limit the number of shots made by Chen Feng. In the pre-season, the boy didn't play well. He was just looking for a feeling and running in with his new teammates.
And Chen Feng has nothing to respond to the speculation of the outside world. If he really fights for strength, he doesn't mind wrestling with Garnett. Anyway, the two of them have been fighting for a month, and it's not bad this time.
It's just that Garnett holds the ball on the inside line, and Chen Feng wants to start to attack at the middle distance to create greater lethality. There are two equally strong guys, so they will completely defeat the other party!
In the game, observe that the new guy around him is more used to attacking. Chen Feng reduced the number of shots just because it was just a pre-season game, and there was no need to let go of the fight hard.
Is his sense of existence so easy to erase? Then he is not the animal who killed on the streets of New York. He is just waiting for the start of the new season in this running-in...
