Chapter 415 Anti-suppression

The away game is not easy to play, especially for opponents who are close to their own strength. In terms of competing for the initiative in the playoffs, even if the Celtics are now the top of the league, if they really hit, this game will not be easy to play.

It's just that Rivers didn't expect that the game would be so difficult from the beginning, which was really a little unexpected.

The current tactics and personnel adjustment of the Celtics are very mature, but they are still a little caught off guard by the Cavaliers. Such a crazy attack makes the green shirt defense a little precarious.

Even Smith and Miller are saying, "The Clevelands' attack is crazy. Now the Celtics are in trouble. Maybe they should stop the game for a while. I hope Rivers can find a good way."

It's just that the two of them are just commentary and can't replace the players on the court. Some things can't be replaced by anyone. The Celtics' offensive efficiency is still troubled by the still cold feel.

Ray Allen is very angry, and so is Pierce, including Garnett, who failed to attack. This is really a little weird. You know, the stability of these guys has always been very reassuring.

But in this game of the Quick Loan Arena, in the opening few minutes, I feel that this thing has nothing to do with the Celtics. What they can contribute to the fans is only frequent mistakes and bounce out again and again.

No one can do it in such a situation. Even these guys who have experienced many battles can only spread out their hands.

But the Cavaliers are like possessed by God. No matter how they attack, they can form a strong threat.

Crazy! Totally crazy! The Cavaliers' offensive fire net, starting from the little emperor, extended to the three-point line, and then these guys' shooting hit the Celtics as if they were undefed.

The 9:0 start did not make Rivers call for a timeout immediately. He didn't think that West's shooting would appear again and again. After all, he would throw you 3+1 if he had nothing to do. This is quite unreliable.

But the Cavaliers' offensive fire network seems to have been suddenly ignited, burning, and it is difficult to be extinguished.

Even Rivers and Siberdu didn't expect that the other side could instantly expand the score to 15:3 in five consecutive shots in three minutes, which made Rivers really a little unable to sit still.

The main reason is that the little emperor also speculed a three-pointer at the top of the arc after West played 3+1.

And this is still shot one meter away from the three-point line, but the ball is still accurately smashed into the basket, just like a cruise missile with full accuracy.

Even Miller exclaimed on the sidelines, "My God, the Cavaliers' three-pointer is crazy!"

Three-pointers, three-in-one three shots, and all of them were difficult goals. The little emperor's long-range fire, Szebiak turned around and shot, plus West's strange 3+1.

It seems that all of a sudden, the Cavaliers' attack has improved several levels, which is completely unstoppable.

It's not news that the little emperor scored a three-pointer. After all, this guy's offensive ability has been obvious in these two seasons, but when West finished the 2+1 shot against Rondo again near the three-second zone, Rivers really couldn't calm down, because the Cavaliers' lead has expanded to two. Count it!

In fact, when Pierce hit the Little Emperor's three-pointer, he scored a three-pointer for the Celtics, which also smoothed out the embarrassment of not scoring. He thought this was the beginning of getting on the right track.

But who would have thought that when West over there suddenly attacked the Cavaliers, he staggered from outside the three-point line to the vicinity of the three-second zone. Rondo did not follow, and Garnett was also tripped by Vallejo.

Then as soon as Rondo's side was pasted, West shot. He seemed to be waiting deliberately. As soon as Rondo waved his hand, he raised his hand and shot and scored! Additional penalty! That's how 2+1 is done!

"Reggie, should I say something? Is that guy really intentional? After 3+1, it's 2+1. This... I think I can understand why Rivers pulled off his tie just now.

Kenny Smith's commentary style is to make fun of him, but his words now can't make Rivers smile and then say something. Now Rivers feels extremely stuffy!

As Smith said, just as the referee blew a foul on Rondo, Rivers pulled off his tie, and he even rarely lost his temper in front of the TV broadcast.

In fact, Rivers had such a performance last season. This guy's temper is not as calm as his appearance. If he is really popular, he will not deliberately suppress his emotions.

Just like now, it's light to pull down the tie, and he may have almost shouted with the referee.

Rivers might not be so angry if he was on hold, but the referee's whistle just now completely angered him. Ron's hand did not block him, but West was looking for him with the ball.

Rondo had already reacted at that time, so he did not really fan the ball in West's hand when he could not interfere, and even his hands did not deliberately wave after opening.

But West has been in the league for so long, and he is more familiar with some tricks than Rondo.

It's like how to make an opponent's foul, especially when Rondo loses his defensive position, an unintentional trick, when you can't deny that it really works, and the referee thinks so.

This is the most critical issue. You can make trouble, as long as he is within the rules, that's fine.

The referee really blew the penalty, and West's shot accurately. The free throw was not difficult for him. What's more, this guy feels really good today.

The 3+1 was a coincidence, so this time it was done with the intention. West's attack did create a lot of trouble, which made Rondo very passive and also made Rivers vent his anger at the referee.

But he doesn't want to have a technical foul, or be chased back into the locker room by those referees, so even if he is angry, he can only endure it. This feeling is really bad.

However, Rivers doesn't want the players to lose him as the helm, so he can only compete with himself, especially in such a noisy environment, it is really difficult for you to maintain a calm attitude.

This is a completely passive foul, not only a point, but also Ron has fouled twice! This is the most annoying problem for Rivers! Well, this game has only been played for a few minutes!

Less than five minutes before and after, the Celtics' main point guard had fouled twice, and in the process of the match, West scored 7 points from the top of his head! What's wrong with him?

I'm afraid Rivers wants to ask God. Does the old guy like to see a melee in the east?

Otherwise, he will not make his players feel cold and make the game so awkward!

You know, that West's score is almost half of that scored by the Cavaliers! And his two attacks were completed under Rondo's close pressure! Is your sister's, is Master Qiao possessed? Or did the old man of God come here to join in West's clothes?

"Rhythm! Rhythm! What? It's all messed up! What's that kid, La Jane? He shouldn't have moved!"

In addition to the annoying whispered curses on the sidelines, it was difficult for Rivers to calm his emotions, not only because of the referee's whistle, but also because of Rondo's foul, which made the Celtics very passive now.

There are still more than 40 minutes left in the game. No one knows what will happen later, but now Rivers has to replace his main point guard. Otherwise, he can't guarantee that this guy will continue to make mistakes!

Such a passive substitution, and to let Rondo compress his playing time, is bad news for the Celtics' offensive system, and no wonder Rivers is so annoyed.

The game process explained before the game was disrupted by the opponent, and the Celtics had to change it passively. This is a very bad situation for anyone.

This may not be Rondo's fault. After all, he wants to be more fierce in defense to curb the opponent's offensive momentum, but he didn't expect West to be so lucky today.

Don't say it's not luck. If you ask West to copy the attack just now, he will specify that he can't play it. After two consecutive attacks, he will be punished, which is really scary.

He scored seven points after two shots. Even if Kobe came, I'm afraid he doesn't have this kind of offensive efficiency!?

West can't maintain such a state and feel all the time, but it is undeniable that his attack has indeed caused a lot of trouble for the Celtics, especially after the gap on the spot widened to double digits.

At the beginning of the first quarter, it was only five minutes before the score was like this. Rivers wanted to wait a minute, hoping that his players could stabilize themselves, and then slowly win back the disadvantage.

As a result, before the Celtics recovered, West took advantage of his continuous attack to make Rondo very embarrassed. Now Rivers has to replace Rondo in advance to rest.

According to this situation, Rhodo has no hope to go up in the first quarter. Otherwise, who knows if this boy let himself do three or four fouls because he was in a moment of anxiety!

If that's the case, then there is really no need to play this game. At least it's also a main point guard!

And not only because Ron is going to be replaced, but also because the Celtics were a little depressed by the Cavaliers' charge at the opening stage. In terms of offensive efficiency, they have been passive.

You can say that this is luck, but even if it is due to luck, it is difficult to change the fact that the Celtics are passive. They are indeed suppressed by the Cavaliers in momentum.

The main point guard was calculated by the opponent. If Rivers could continue to be so calm, he would really have practiced, and the team's passive situation had to make him take the lead in calling for a timeout.

Such a choice is very helpless. At least in Rivers's opinion, the Celtics are a little difficult to play. If the opponent's touch is not cooled down, the damn score will be unknown.

Rivers doesn't care much about the winning streak. If he loses, it's just like that. After all, no one can guarantee his province, but if he loses to the Cavaliers and loses like this, he will definitely not accept it.

After all, in addition to a regular season, this is also related to the playoffs. Even at the opponent's doorstep, the Celtics have to win. This is not a task, but a psychological advantage.

Everything needs to be fought in the playoffs, the head coach's tactical arrangements, home and away games, including the psychological confrontation between the two sides.

If you can't take care of it, it may be a hidden danger. Rivers doesn't want the team to have any shortcomings.

The Celtics took the lead in shouting a timeout, no matter what the reason is, at least in the eyes of the Cavaliers' supporters, their strongest opponent is now in a big trouble.

The trouble encountered by the opponent is his own good news. As soon as Rivers motioned, the fans of the Cavaliers over there began to keep buzzing, boos and inverted colors on the sidelines, and there was a wave of attacks.

The little emperor seemed to be cooperating with such a shout, and deliberately waved his hand, followed by a more crazy roar, and a tide of applause, including a roar!

The applause of more than 10,000 people, if it breaks out at the same time, the feeling is still quite scary. For the Cavaliers, it is an encouragement, but for the Celtics, it is an invisible pressure.

Although the game has just begun and there are still more than 40 minutes to go, it is not good news for the opponent to rush like this, so what Rivers has to do now can only be adjusted as soon as possible.

After all, the Celtics are the boss of the league. It's not one or two who want to bring them down. Now, it's just to let these guys calm down and slowly stabilize their floating mood.

Rondo had to be replaced because of two consecutive fouls. This is not that Rivers is angry, but to make Roldo calm down. The game has to continue, and he has to use this boy to play to control the rhythm.

But now, Rondo can only reluctantly return to the cold bench and reluctantly watch his teammates take over his place.

I'm afraid this kind of anger is also the first time to bring trouble to Rondo. Damn it, who caught up with the outbreak of West today? Who would have thought? Maybe only the old man of God can foresee all this.

"Sam, you're ready to play. You have to carry West later. You can't let him continue to play like this. You don't need to care too much. Just keep this point to death. Even if you complete the task and get stuck in his offensive route, I believe you have enough ways. Don't let him Keep scoring! Remember, you must keep an eye on him!"

Rivers pointed to Kassel and gave the task with no room for turning back, and his tone was unquestionable. If Kassel couldn't handle it, he would probably choose to let someone else do the job.

It can be seen that if West continues his performance just now, it is estimated that Rivers may really throw the tactical board to the ground to vent his anger. Even if he does so, he is likely to be sent off.

Rivers has never had any hostility towards his former subordinates, including West, but no one can afford to let a former subordinate fight so crazily.

Rivers is not the kind of person who has to lose face, but such a peak confrontation is lost to a person who has just transferred to the opponent's account. It is estimated that those reporters will definitely make some articles with this thing after the game.

Now, Murphy and Xie Miaomiao on the sidelines have also heard many people talking about why Angie and Rivers let a guy like West go at the beginning. Isn't this guy not as sophisticated as Rondo?

Although there is a little gap in data, West is not useless in terms of the confrontation between the two.

Don't forget that his two attacks just now were completed under Rondo's attention, which is almost equivalent to hitting Angie in the face directly. Such a counterattack is too interesting in the reporter's opinion!

There has never been a shortage of people who watch the bustle, but Rivers has not planned to let others treat himself and Angie as idiots. It is inevitable to stare at West's guy and make him feel as cold as possible.

And if West really goes crazy, then the game will not continue. After all, the Knights' big killer is the little emperor. If you give him one more helper, the Celtics will be more dangerous.

Thick Rivers doesn't want to continue to tear his tie, so West must let Kassel keep an eye on it. He believes that the old guy has enough means to do this.

"Kevin, come down and have a rest. Now, we have to change the focus of the attack. Steve, you are ready to go up immediately. When the game starts again, I ask everyone to run!"

"The opponent's defense is very serious. They obviously put all the defensive focus on the inside line. Kevin and Chen Feng have not won a good offensive opportunity after the opening. Since the Clevelanders think so, we need to completely spread the firepower network of the attack! I want to beat them out!"

"Attack point, I need enough offensive fire point! Outside line, middle distance, as much as possible!"

"Don't they want to shrink, then type out their own feel so that the other party dares not shrink back!"

It should be a necessary choice to replace Rondo, but no one thought that Rivers's next replacement would be to take Garnett together, and the replacement was quite unexpected. He would choose Novak.

However, the subsequent tactical adjustment of Rivers was also tough enough. This guy actually squeezed the main attack point to the periphery, Ray Allen, Novak, and Pierce's three cannons at the same time.

These guys can fire near the three-point line. Similarly, Kassel's shooting skills can also kill, and the old guy's offensive efficiency in recent games also has a 40% shooting rate.

Don't forget that when the Rockets won the championship, Kassel relied on breakthrough and stable shooting technology to stand firm. When he took the Clippers in and out of the West, his shooting was still sharp.

Although he is just a bench player in Boston now, such a bandit-like guy has never been relaxed in shooting, and even his shooting is far more spicy and slippery than before.

It's just that Rivers' arrangement left Chen Feng on the inside of the Celtics, which is a little unstable. After all, if the boy wants to carry Wallace alone, he has to beware of Vallejo's attack. Even if Chen Feng is strong enough, there is no advantage in this situation. Words.

If you really put Chen Feng and Wallace together, one-on-one, maybe the boy can eat steadily.

But if you add a Valejo who wants to play with Chen Feng at any time, this pressure will definitely not be small. After all, the Brazilian is also a good player in the big forward series in the east.

The attack may be very ordinary, but Vallejo's defense is really tough. The main reason is that this boy is black and fierce enough to give his opponent a down. In the face of the defense, whether Chen Feng can resist is the key.

No wonder when Rivers decided to replace Garnett, Siberdu would frown. He was actually worried about whether Chen Feng could take the lead alone. After all, this kind of confrontation is not so easy to fight, it's two-to-one.

"You boy, you must pay attention to protecting the rebounds, not only in the attack, but also in the defensive. I want you to hold it! You can foul. I give you this freedom, but you must let the opponent understand that the basket is your territory. If others want to come in, they have to pay the price. Don't let those guys get close to the basket easily! Now, you must make an absolute penalty area for me under the basket!"

"You are the only big man. I not only ask you to be sure in rebounding, but also play this big and small lineup with flexibility. Don't rush, you need to know how to mobilize your opponents! Constantly interspersed, I need each of you to run and cooperate to pull away the opponent's defense!"

In the first few minutes of the game, the Celtics' attack was not impatient, but Rivers obviously lacked a sharp feeling, just like training, performing every step step by step.

It was too stylized, and there was no fierce momentum in it. As a result, the Cavaliers rushed too hard and interrupted the Celtics' attack.

In the recent game, the Celtics played smoothly, mainly because the personal ability of these guys determines that there will not be too many ups and downs on the scene. When they meet the Magic team, it is just a short adjustment.

Then the Orlandoman lost. It can be said that the recent victory is too smooth, which makes the Celtics and Rivers a little less the sharp feeling of last season. They can win, but they can win and play, which are not so fierce.

Such a process will not make people vigilant, but once you meet an opponent who is playing with you, you are not sharp enough, but the opponent is pretending to die together, and you will definitely suffer.

The hot atmosphere before the game originally made the players of both sides excited, but the Celtics have been playing too comfortably recently, so the tension was not enough. As a result, they were immediately passive by the Cavaliers.

Rivers, who had been observing on the sidelines for a long time, knew what the problem was, so he needed to use his brain on it. Even if he took a little risk, he would let the wildness of the green shirts come out!

In the desperate battle with competitors, there is no need to regard himself as the first in the league. If you should fight, you have to risk your life. Rivers doesn't plan to continue to follow the step by step. He wants to gamble now.

Changing Garnett is taking a risk. After all, the defense of the inside line is empty, and it is impossible to be filled by Chen Feng alone.

Therefore, if the inside line is empty, it is likely to be seized by the opponent, but what Rivers has to do is to make the whole tactics of the Celtics move, and it's better to confuse the Cavaliers!

Your opening charge caught me off guard, so I'm going to give you a head-on blow!

Anyway, it's lagging behind now. Rivers doesn't mind playing the game to a little more extreme. The Celtics can survive from the ruins by relying on a fierceness.

Now, I want to show this fierceness to the Cavaliers fans who are booing themselves.

Hush louder! Maybe in a few minutes, you will take the initiative to close your mouths!

Rivers is completely a risky attitude. Siberdeau may feel a little unsteady, but he also understands what Rivers thinks. In this passive situation, the Celtics must fight back!

After all, this is the home court of the Cavaliers. If it goes on like this, it will be difficult to curb the opponent's momentum, unless you can quickly chase the score in a short time and completely eliminate this atmosphere!

However, the Cavaliers consciously contracted the inside line, crazily cut off the receiving route of Chen Feng and Garnett, and did not let these two guys easily hold the ball near the three-second zone. Naturally, the usual attack could not be played.

Then the Cavaliers took advantage of their hot hands and began to earn points crazily, which made the Celtics very passive.

I have to say that Mike Brown is very lucky. It feels hot to catch up with his players, and their defensive fill is really desperate, so that Chen Feng and Garnett have not found a good offensive opportunity on the inside.

Therefore, the Celtics' several attacks were completed on the periphery. As soon as the hand feels cold, the attack efficiency is poor.

Chen Feng and Garnett pulled to the periphery twice, both of which were blocked for their teammates. In fact, it was more because they were blocked in the inside line and could only choose this way, but now Rivers needs to change this situation.

Rivers put on four guys who can shoot from medium and long distances, which is to break the Cavaliers' defense and make these guys dare not continue to shrink like this, and Chen Feng must move and lead the opponent out!

Can't you cast? Well, I don't lack pitchers. Since you want to play like this, let's do it together! Let's see if your knight's heavy spear is fierce enough, or my green shirt is more tough!

Others say that Rivers is a very stable coach, but no one has ever thought that a person who grew up under the guidance of Auerbach could not have the bandit temperament of a cardinal.

Maybe Rivers can't reach Auerbach's momentum of overlooking the opponent, but if he plays fiercely, it is also like a sharp blade out of the sheath, which can cut the opponent's wounds all over his body.

If you want to push such a guy to the edge of the cliff, then you can really lift it. He may drag you down and jump down. Just like now, Mike Brown may think he has an advantage.

But who knows what will happen in the next second? When Rivers also began to be stingy, that was really terrible. Want to suppress him? How do you know that he won't think about turning this situation around?

As for Chen Feng's pressure, Rivers has also considered it, but he believes that this boy has that wildness. Although he is adventurous, if he wants to completely suppress his opponent's momentum, he can only go a little bit.

Although those media are saying that the Cavaliers are now in the position of pursuers, Rivers knows very well that if you can't suppress their attack at the opponent's home court, the game will be completely unplayable.

After all, home advantage is obvious even in the NBA. Sometimes, the tendency is subconscious, unless those referees want to deliberately show their fairness.

But in Cleveland, Rivers doesn't believe that such a good thing will happen to him. In particular, Rondo's second foul has sounded the alarm for him, and his opponent is not a group of rookies in experience.

If he really fights to the final stage and suffers, it is likely that it will be the Celtics. He dares not gamble on this.

If you don't reverse the situation in the first quarter of the game, the next confrontation will definitely be more difficult to fight. I just hope that Chen Feng can continue to maintain strong control over rebounding under the attack of two people.

"Head, if you don't foul three times, you don't have to replace me. Under the basket, I have the final say. Believe me, I can definitely do it. Don't worry so much. I think you will see the result you want."

Chen Feng suffocated for nearly five minutes, but when Rivers pressed the burden on him, there was only a sense of excitement in his heart, not the kind of suffocation. Now he was just eager to let go immediately.

Just now, the Knights' contracted defense really made him very awkward. The main reason is that Wallace and Vallejo have been desperately pushing Garnett and him out. In addition to the entanglement of the periphery, it is difficult for the ball to comfortably send to the inside line.

I knew that the confrontation in this game was difficult, but Chen Feng didn't expect the problem to be so outrageous.

At the end of the game, Chen Feng still patted Rondo on the shoulder, hoping that his partner could stabilize his mood.

After all, Rondo rarely encounters the stuffy thing of eating two fouls in a row, and the opponent still has two strange consecutive penalties, which directly confuses the Celtics' tactical arrangement.

Rondo's end also had to make Rivers start to change moves in advance, but the risk of changing the array is still to bet on Chen Feng. A 1V2 battle, whether he can win or not will determine a lot of things.

Can you carry two big guys? It's really challenging trouble, but it's not an impossible task, is it...
