Chapter 422 Running all the way

Killing the Cavaliers in a face-to-face fight is definitely a disaster for the Clevelanders.

But for the Celtics, it's just a regular season confrontation. As for what the reporters said about the battle of the eastern boss after the game, Rivers didn't give any response, and he just knew something.

"Mike must be in big trouble." Although he didn't say anything to those reporters, in private, Rivers was still very unkind to divine the future for Mike Brown.

For the old partner's gloating attitude, Thibodeau said that he was very helpless, but he was indeed right. If he lost the game, he always had to find someone to take responsibility. The coach was naturally the first to take the brunt.

At the core of the team like the Little Emperor, even if someone wants to blame him, they have to consider the future of the team.

After all, the coach of the team can be changed at will, but there are only so many stars in the whole league. If you really throw out the absolute non-sale product like the little emperor for trading, then can you guarantee that the exchange will be easy to use?

It is estimated that the Gilbert brothers, the owner of the Cavaliers, also understand this point, so as long as the little emperor approves the transaction himself, they will find a way to deal with it, in order to keep this box office guarantee.

Don't say that people can be replaced. Just like the little emperor and Kobe, if you want to change it, those fans don't agree. Even if you are the boss of the team, do you really dare to challenge those fans?

If they are unhappy, they won't watch the game. In a medium-sized city like Cleveland, there is no signboard star like a box office guarantee. Who will pay attention to them? This is not Los Angeles or New York.

Therefore, when the team is in trouble, it is either to choose a large-scale deal to exchange blood, or to vent its anger on the coach. Mike Brown will not be dismissed, but the future will definitely be very sad.

The most important thing is that the little emperor is very unhappy about losing to the Celtics, especially to Chen Feng. Even if Mike Brown has always complimented the little emperor's greatness in front of the media, these verbal things are ultimately unreliable.

Great? Then why did you lose? And did you lose so awkwardly? In fact, many voices in the league are questioning why the little emperor's data is so beautiful, but the Cavaliers are still said by many people as a team that lacks core competitiveness? Is it just because of some defects in their lineup?

Don't say anything about the scoring ability of the inside line, or the unstable performance of the outside pitcher. If these things can find a reason, then every team can find a reason, not just the Cavaliers.

You are the leader of the team. If you can't lead the team to a suitable height, it is your responsibility. Just like Master Joe, if you don't win the championship, you will also be severely criticized by the media and fans.

It's just that whether the little emperor's mind can be as tough as Master Qiao's. I guess he still needs to observe it.

The little emperor has been criticized, so even if Mike Brown can explain it for him, he can't change much after all. I don't expect the little emperor at this time to stand up and help his coach block any criticism.

Coach, this position is a very bitter role in the NBA league. If the team's performance is in addition to problems, it is your responsibility, and after winning, those players are also cheered.

Even the team owner is more comfortable than the coach. How many people do you think are going to spray Kuban? After the Mavericks were blacked, how many people scolded "Little General" Johnson? This is the cruel gap.

Mike Brown can sit firmly on the fishing platform with the Cleveland Cavaliers, which is really the master-servant relationship between him and the little emperor. Of course, he is definitely not the master or a servant, and no one has broken it.

But at the end of the game, his tactical arrangement can only be to let the little emperor decide how to play by himself, which is also known as "James is the executor on the court, and he can judge the situation more accurately."

This is obviously a typical example of taking off your pants and farting. If you need to think about everything yourself, why do you still need a coach? What do you want to do with the final tactical arrangement? Do they exist to call for a pause?

Then where do you compare with a tactical board? Na Popovich and Phil Jackson are really lying down, and the existence of those famous handsome men has become worthless.

It can only be said that Mike Brown's control over the team is not strong. In front of the little emperor, he can't command at will. The only thing he can do is to appease him and give him enough encouragement.

Like the "Zen Master", Popovich, and even the old Nelson guys, are typical.

Master Joe and Kobe are strong enough, but most of the time, they still need to bow down.

This is a role of prestige. If you can't suppress your players as a coach, what else can you do? Of course, it's not that kind of simple and rude rebuke, but that you really have the ability to control them.

Otherwise, it is possible to have a conflict like Sprewell and Calessimo, and another choke incident.

In fact, Rivers has done a great job on this point. This fat man doesn't look fierce.

But when Garnett's guys are going to obey him, you should feel his ability.

You don't need to be strong, you just need to make all the players feel that you can take them to win!

Just a season ago, the Celtics' record was only the bottom of the Atlantic Division. At that time, Rivers was also scolded by various reporters in the newspaper, as if he didn't die, and it was not over.

At the beginning, almost everyone thought that Rivers brought the Celtics to the bottom. He was definitely a blame. Many people were talking about his annual salary, which was almost a popular word.

It seems that with an annual salary of 5 million, if you can't bring the Celtics to the first place in the league, it will be Ling Chi's fault, and everyone automatically ignores the lineup and status of the green shirts.

At that time, not to mention Rivers leading the team, even if Auerbach's old guy came out of the mountain again, I'm afraid it would be such a result. This is a problem caused by strength, not a crime of war.

But when Rondo, Chen Feng, after these guys entered the team, the rising speed of the green shirts made people pay attention to it. In the east, there was such a group of fierce animals overnight.

Now these guys have turned into beasts, ranking first in the league, with a deterrent similar to nuclear weapons in the East. I'm afraid no one can imagine that they were at the bottom of the East more than a season ago.

As for the comparison between Rivers and Mike Brown, it is meaningless. One is the winner and the other is the loser. The winner is leading the team to a crazy record, while the loser is in an awkward situation.

The Cavaliers will not fire a coach so easily, but the internal rumors also prove Rivers' speculation that Mike Brown's trouble is indeed not small. If there is no result this season, he will be useless.

If you can reach the finals last season, if you don't go further this season, this guy's designation will be a tragedy.

Er, one step further, God bless that guy. If the Cavaliers are looking forward to the championship now, it would be easier for Mike Brown to look through his phone book and find a next one to take over.

Although in the post-match interview, Mike Brown still insisted that the Cavaliers are very competitive. They can play a good result in the playoffs, and it is not difficult to repeat the glory of last season.

In fact, I'm afraid he doesn't believe it. Last season, they bumped into the Pistons that had been exhausted with the Celtics. Do they still have this luck this season?

Do you expect the Pistons to continue to be a shield? Er, maybe they really think so, but the reality is really a little cruel. The Celtics swept the Detroit Pistons on the road two days later.

The score may not be very different, 92: 82, but this is the game won when Garnett and Pierce are absent at the same time. The tough temperament of the Green Shirts is revealed in Detroit.

For the murderers who can fight against customers in the car city, it is estimated that everyone has to weigh their strength, especially their lineup is not complete, but the pace of the game has never been out of their control.

When such a team is walking horizontally in the east, you really don't expect anyone to help you consume their firepower, and these guys still firmly hold the home advantage of the playoffs.

God, the North Shore Garden Arena is still solid so far. Who can guarantee to win there?

And in the playoffs, it is obvious that whoever is more ruthless has the advantage. The Celtics are now famous in the whole league. Whoever meets this group of animals in the playoffs is definitely a disaster.

On this point, I'm afraid no one will doubt that the lesson of last season has been big enough, and now it is in such a hot state to catch up with these guys. If you meet again, it is almost impossible for you to retreat completely.

Pistons, Cavaliers, these teams that can play in the East are probably considering how to avoid the Celtics before the Eastern Conference finals. It's best to meet later.

Fighting with them in advance is definitely like looking for a dead end, and their home advantage is too obvious!

Your sister, I haven't lost this season. I don't know if these guys will break this golden body in the second half.

But who dares to throw this initiative into the hands of those animals? Unless you want to die, the Celtics' tough achievements are so unreachable that their opponents are really heartbroken.

Not to mention that these Boston guys will lose their home advantage, according to the current state, they are likely to be the first to lock in the playoffs. The Eastern team is undoubtedly a dream to catch up with their record.

Even the strong teams in the west have no chance to leave the Celtics behind. Those outlaws are crazy. If you really fight to the end, you'd better have enough courage to support them.

If the former eastern part was a mess, then now there is an order that belongs to the green shirts.

Although the Pistons' results in the previous few seasons were the most stable, but in the years when the Detroiters dominated, they did not have absolute dominance in the East. At least the Knights and the Heat could challenge them.

Especially the Heat team after owning Wade, they fought very fiercely with the Pistons in several playoffs. Even if they can get through the test, the Pistons will lose soldiers, and their state is also very miserable.

After the Bulls' youth storm blew, the situation in the East became more and more chaotic. In the past few seasons, the Nets and the 76ers often came out to disrupt the situation, and the East has never had its own order.

This situation may have been formed after the end of the bulls' dynasty era. The battle for hegemony, the melee, and the chaos in the east are more disorderly than the Lakers in the west, the Spurs and the Mavericks.

But now all this has become a thing of the past. No matter whether those guys are willing to accept such a reality, there is no way to change the unique situation of the Celts in the east.

The Pistons are declining, and it is a great achievement that they can keep the top four.

Even the Detroit fans themselves have acquiesced to this helpless fact. They just hope to keep a place in the playoffs. Perhaps their only experience left in the playoffs can play a role.

And the Cavaliers are trying to be the boss of the East, but after fighting with the Celtics, the Clevelands also shut up and talk about those attempts. They are at least a little self-aknowledged about what can be coveted, and there are some things that you can do, not just want to do. It really depends on your ability. OK.

The Celtics are crazy breakthroughs in the whole league. What's more, in the east, these guys are even more energetic to be the leaders in the east. Who dares to stop them? Unless you really think you have that ability.

Otherwise, don't be a poor cannon fodder. The little emperor doesn't work. Can you deal with these guys?

And Rivers and his Celtics also seemed to be ready to cut off the idea of those coveted people in advance.

So, after dealing with the Cavaliers and the Pistons, their winning streak continued. Just before the New Year, these animals finished the Pacers at 105:89 at home.

The three giants jointly scored 68 points, and Chen Feng also contributed 15 points and 19 rebounds under the basket. The Pacers' resistance did not last long. Under the wild bombardment, they had no choice but to surrender.

Then the Celtics slaughtered the Wizards with a 110-98 victory, and this was done in the case of the rotation of the Big Three. Rondo and Chen Feng teamed up to score 58 points, and Novak soared 7 of the three-pointers.

When Perkins can score 20 points, you can't expect the rest of the Celtics to feel cold. The Grizzlies, who just lost Gasol, suffered such a time**.

However, the Grizzlies only lost 85:93 away from home, and the score difference was not big, but thanks to the Celtics playing back-to-back, their impact was slightly dragged down by physical strength.

Counting the battle of the Cavaliers before the New Year, the Celtics won all five consecutive games, consolidating their first place in the league. Now the second-ranked Mavericks and the Spurs, who followed, are very helpless.

All the initiative is in their own hands, and the green shirts are crazy all the way...
