Chapter 435 Vote Results
Rivers' rotation continues, and the Celtics' record has also begun to fluctuate. Although they played very well in the home game against the Eagles, they still lost on the road.
It's just that even if Rivers meets the Hawks, he didn't think about letting the main players play. The rotation is still the main force and the substitutes are playing, but at least the Atlanta Hawks, who are at home, are also the seventh in the East.
You can't look down on your opponent so much, but Rivers doesn't despise the Eagles, but before the start of the All-Star Game, he should try his best to raise the injured soldiers, and there is no need to play against the other side in all the games.
What's more, there are still some aftermaths from the fatigue of the trip to the west. Rivers doesn't want the fatigue battle to affect the overall situation.
There is often a watershed before and after the All-Star Game. Either the team that is charging fiercely starts to win the game crazily at this stage, or the previously well-ranked team, and the results begin to fluctuate.
This has become a rule. It is said that mid-February is the dividing point of the regular season. One step forward is to enter the playoffs and take a step back, that is, to say goodbye to the efforts of this season. This is the distance between heaven and hell. No one wants their half of the season's efforts to be in vain. At this time, they can only be desperate. It is.
Rivers doesn't want the confidence accumulated in the first half of the season. In this ** period, he was disturbed by the tide of injuries.
Now many teams have begun to worry about the constantly appearing wounded soldiers. Fortunately, the Celtics have not had any serious injuries, but the bodies of a group of old bones are always a little frightening.
Even if the Celtics' team doctor is reliable, Rivers has to find a balance in training and competition.
In fact, there are only a dozen teams, counting the injury list and the players assigned to the Development League.
There are many people that Rivers can use this season. Unlike last season, in addition to the starting lineup, there are only three or four people who can use it. If he really encounters an injury, he is really worried. This season's bench is really awesome.
You need to have experience and practical ability, and you are not weak. A few old guys, not to mention the second spring, at least at both ends of the attack and defense, they can come up with their own set of unique skills after rotation.
Like Kassel at the core of the Clippers, in the Celtics, he can also help the bench lineup stabilize the situation, and Novak and Perkins can contribute their energy on the court.
Now the Celtics are like a machine. All parts are running well, but Rivers doesn't want to wear out the transition. In order to speed up in the playoffs, it is also necessary to give up properly.
It can't be said that Rivers dares to be like Popovich, who dares to use a substitute to compete with his opponent in any game.
But if there are really about ten opponents in the east and west in the round, Rivers still plans to deal with the opponent with the bench lineup. Of course, the game with the Eagles is an exception, mainly because the main players are too tired.
Although there is a rest after returning from the west, the fatigue of continuous fighting does not mean that you can recover in a day or two. In order to be safe, Rivers does not want to take risks, not to mention the bench lineup is also very strong.
From their performance with the Wizards, it can be seen that if these guys let go of their hands and feet, they can also cause a lot of trouble for their opponents. Even some of the top eight teams in the East can't say the final victory or defeat.
The Wizards fell on this. They thought they could take advantage of the tired teacher of the Celtics. As a result, they didn't take advantage of it, and they were still full of money by a group of substitutes.
In the East, the Celtics are a well-deserved leader. Even if Boston is finally squeezed out of the league by its competitors in the West, it is still the boss in the East.
The main reason is that their competitiveness in the Eastern Conference is too fierce, especially against the top eight in the Eastern Conference. They are basically in a second kill state, and there is still room for teams like the Cavaliers and Pistons to struggle.
But it's just a struggle. It's really difficult to wrestle with the Celtics.
The Pistons and Cavaliers, who are chasing behind the Green Shirts, have little hope of smoothing the gap between Boston in their record for the time being. Even they themselves are not looking forward to it, let alone other competitors in the East.
These guys are still busy keeping their position. The gap between the fourth and eighth place may be pulled closer or surpassed by your negligence. Now no one dares to relax easily.
This is the situation in the East. The Celtics have been fierce, and the records of the Cavaliers and Pistons have been relatively stable, but the remaining few playoff seats have been in a fierce battle.
Wizards, Pacers, Eagles, Magic, these teams are fighting desperately to win, afraid that they will fall behind.
So, now Rivers has enough wins, and he can play casually. What's more, he can grind the kids on the bench, which is equivalent to playing the foundation for the playoffs in advance.
You can't rely on a set of lineup to play the world. After the regular season, do you still rely on those five or six people to play the playoffs? Do you really think these guys are robots? No one can stand this situation.
Besides, Glen Davis, Perkins, Tony Allen, Percy, aren't these guys strong?
If Tony Allen hadn't been retained by Angie and Riverster, the team that would have coveted this guy would not be one or two. He can defend, attack, and his scoring ability is not weak. He is definitely a practical player.
Even Rivers said that with Tony Allen, I don't have to worry about any problems in the rotation.
It can also be regarded as the head coach and manager's efforts to retain, which can be regarded as the retention of this practical guy.
As for the late Posey, he is also a tough defensive player. He can keep an eye on the opponent's scoring point. The most important thing is that this guy is very focused on this dirty work of defense.
I'm not afraid that you don't have enough ability, but I'm afraid that you don't pay attention to it. This is what many NBA coaches said when guiding players. This league never lacks talented geniuses, but the dedicated pragmatism is really scarce.
Especially there are not many people who can calm down in defense. In this position of the swinger, more people still tend to attack. Only scoring can they get more money.
Posey is the kind of person who knows what direction he should work hard. Defense is his strongest weapon.
So, even if the Celtics are substitutes, even if they are benches, they are a group of fierce bandits!
Even if Glenn Davis has just entered the league, he can play in a tough state on the field.
Although he is a pure trust, he wanders around a group of fierce people every day and can learn a lot more or less. Moreover, this guy's physical condition is also a strong weapon.
"Big Baby" is a new nickname given to Davis by Boston fans, but this big baby is definitely a heavyweight weapon on the court. Some people even say that this guy is obviously a big shark.
Of course, Davis's personal ability is not comparable to that of O'Neill. Even O'Neal, who is now in his twilight years, his deterrent power under the basket can beat Davis, a backward person.
But as a novice to the league, Davis dares to fight and do it. This is definitely what Rivers value most.
So this guy has been under Rivers recently, and he can play the first lineup and guard the inside line with Perkins.
Garnett and Chen Feng are now watching on the wall. Although Chen Feng shouted that he wanted to play, the team doctor did not nod, and Rivers did not agree. Even if he broke his throat, no one would talk to him.
"You need enough rest, with an average of nearly 45 minutes per game, and there are still more than 30 games left. Do you really want your muscles to be tired? Even if you are in good health, it won't work!"
Rivers is usually easy to talk, but he doesn't want to make any mistakes in the prevention of injuries. If Chen Feng, like YAO Ming, suddenly comes for reimbursement for a season, and there is no place for Firth to cry.
Although this boy is very unreassuring, Rivers and Siberdeau know very well that his inside combination with Garnett is the most stable cornerstone of the Celtics. There are two fierce guys sitting under the basket.
Who dares to kill in? You can dodge the first line, and what about the second line? Do you really think they are decorations?
These two guys joined hands together, averaging nearly six blocks per game. The Celtics' three-second zone has already been banned. Do you want to cut in? You're still worried about whether you can take action after you really get in.
There are two people who are fanned by Chen Feng, and the guys who have been baptized by his big slap, I'm afraid they all have lingering fears, because the madman not only slaps the basketball, but also sometimes gets slapped together.
As he said to the media, "Chen Feng's existence has made the Celtics' basket a terrorist penalty area."
"The league should pay more attention to some defensive actions on the field. Some players are going for the purpose of hurting people! Their behavior should be severely punished and should not be condoned!"
It is estimated that Chen Feng's block this season has caused people to complain, but looking at the situation at present, he must have no intention to change, and he can only become more and more tough and modify the rules of defense? This is a dream.
It may be that the Pistons touched the league when they besieged Joe, so the defending side has now become tied up. Those damn rules are purely for the benefit of the attacking side.
But now it's already full of complaints. Are you still going to kill the defense? The league's attack is really going to flood. Even if the score is very exciting, every game is a battle. Is it really interesting?
I vomit even if I watch too much of this thing! If the live broadcast is every night when Joe plays against Kobe and the Flash bumps into the little emperor, you won't feel bored by watching those people flying around and slam dunk skills?
Why are so many people calling for a few excellent big guys now? That is, because there are too many flying people in the air, and the fans will be tired of it. Therefore, an appropriate change of taste is enough to satisfy them.
At this time, don't expect the league to stand up and say anything. At most, the referee on the court should pay more attention to the movement of Chen Feng, a beast. If there is a conflict, he will definitely not be able to run away, and it must be a heavy penalty.
But now Chen Feng has learned to be smart for a long time. It is definitely unwise to wrestle with O'Neill all over the floor, but if you don't have anything to do, you can still do it. It's not a big deal with a small flaw like a technical foul.
Er, but Falk can't help this boy remove the fierce label now. The number of technical fouls in the league is there. You think he is a kind person. Does anyone believe this?
The Celtics have been fighting like this in the last three games. After returning from the West, rotation and grinding substitutes became the main theme, but they only lost once at home for the Atlanta Hawks.
That's because the opponent's main force played, Joe Johnson, Josh Smith and Stadmeier fought until the fourth quarter, which was a terrible Celtics.
However, the score of the last 95:90 is not so easy. If the Eagles hadn't had a very small ** in the last quarter, the game would have been dragged into overtime.
Or, the worse result is that the Celtics will go to the next city on the road. Fortunately, this did not happen.
The Eagles' luck and strength are superior, but this does not mean that the Celtics, who ushered in the third defeat in the regular season, can be picked up casually, and then encountering the Indiana Pacers is a complete tragedy.
Just in time for Nowak to recover from his injury, and then Hardaway also found the feel, and the walkers were depressed on the spot.
Sitting at home, Hadawei can win a 20-ten game. I don't know how long it has been since he appeared, but when the old man feels hot, the attack of the Green Shirts is smooth and can kill anyone in seconds.
"Amphini! Great pence! He played a beautiful game just like in Orlando!"
With 20 points and 6 assists, Hardaway can take a bench bandit and wave such a fierce knife. The walkers are not too unjust. They may have forgotten how glorious Hardaway was in the league.
Now, the Pacers witnessed the style of "pence" again at the North Shore Garden Arena, and then they were also defeated by the Celtics at 101:89, which was really a loss.
At least the Pacers are the team that has a chance to enter the top eight in the East, but in Boston, they have seen a territory called the devil. In the North Shore Garden, you can't even struggle!
The madness of the fans stimulates the toughness of the players. Even a bench on it is fierce and terrible!
"If we can make it to the playoffs, I hope we won't be the eighth place in the East. The pressure you have to bear when you play in Boston is unimaginable. The crazy fans here will make you feel tremble!"
This is what Joe Johnson said in the post-match interview. This is not timidity, but the fact that the playoffs are very attractive, but when you are the eighth in the East, it will only be your life.
Black Eight Miracles? Do you think this is reliable? If you are not swept away, you should go to church to thank God!
The New York Knicks' life is worse than that of the Pacers. At least the Indiana Pacers still have the hope of hitting the playoffs. Even if they lose one game, they can come back in the next game.
But the Knicks were in a rotten posture at the beginning of the season, and these guys were fooling around.
But it's just fooling around, and it won't make you feel comfortable. It's your turn to play in the North Shore Garden, and it's a meal**.
Just in time for Rondo to play, and then Chen Feng also came back. The Knicks are really dead.
Rdo took 16 assists, and Chen Feng completed at least four air relays on David Lee's head.
As for the 28 points and 15 rebounds he took, it can be ignored. Anyway, this is not the first time. When it comes to the Knicks, the Celtics just step on it to death, step steadily, and have to cover it with a layer of dirt.
The little heart of New York fans seems to have been stepped on by the Celtics' animals wearing spikes.
They have been in pain for a long time and don't know whether to shout out. The rest can only have a helpless expression, plus cursing their team's gang of fools around, holding a large salary, but half dead!
Relying on the substitute bench can also create a situation of two wins and one loss, which really makes competitors feel embarrassed.
Rivers can only hold a seemingly honest face, "This is an accident. It's a good performance of the players."
Accident? What a surprise, sister! Why don't you say that you Celtics are rich in such unscrupulous animals!
However, in the face of the Celtics' desperate temperament, most of the opponents can only say that they are very weak.
God bless, the beginning of the All-Star Game finally allows those teams that are about to hang themselves forced by the Celtics to take a breath. The annual event that began in mid-February finally opened.
No matter how unwilling those big guys who have been looking forward to the All-Star vote are to accept the reality, the final battle for seats or the battle for a few people, only a few people in total can play.
There are four or five hundred people in the league, but there are only 24 people who can get on the All-Star stage, and there are also starting players and substitutes. On average, one person only appears for a few minutes.
Everyone is fighting for the layout. Who cares about the gains and losses in it? There are really a few serious, that is, working hard for the MVP awards of the All-Star Game, but there are really only a few people who can compete for that honor.
However, the disturbance caused by the voting stage did not affect anything after all. Without an absolute signature figure like O'Neill, YAO finally won the throne of the ticket king, but Chen Feng only lost less than 10,000 votes.
"If there is another week, maybe someone will be." Xie Miaomiao seems to be quite dissatisfied with Chen Feng's second place, which makes Murphy, an old man, look melancholy.
The second year! He has only entered the league for the second year! This is the second place in the vote! What else do you want?"
But Murphy also has to say that Chen Feng's boy is really not a little fierce. Now I'm afraid that no one is still wondering whether the ticket is swiped or not.
More people may be quietly waiting for this boy to kill the All-Star, or the moment of the finals...
