Chapter 500 Three Seconds! Three strikers!
Rivers's coping style was beyond everyone's expectation. No one expected that this ordinary guy would make such a violent choice to fight with the "Zen Master" and fight under the basket! An inch of land must be fought!
Rivers usually gives the impression that he is a relatively quiet guy most of the time. The fat shape will make people feel that this guy is a little harmless, more or less like a good man.
Of course, this is definitely not true. At least in the eyes of the Celtics, Rivers may not usually express his opinions, but once he is in the state of the game, his tough style is actually very obvious.
Not to say that he inherited Auerbach's mantel, but at least Rivers continues the Boston tradition. His team is not so easy to be defeated. The Celtics' strong posture is not casual.
When I met the Pistons last season, not many people were optimistic about the Celtics, but what was the result? Isn't Detroit still forced to win the seventh life-and-death battle? Didn't the Pistons feel palpitated at that time?
At that time, the seventh game was played without Chen Feng. Even so, the Pistons were also suppressed in danger. This is Rivers' coaching style. It was not so magnificent, but extremely tough.
This temperament that penetrates into the bones is the way this fat guy plays. He will not retreat, but will only choose the fierce attack with a bayonet. Are you playing hard with him? Then he plays more than you!
It is said that the Celtics began to rise this season because they traded to Garnett, Ray Allen and an old monster, but they all ignored who was the behind-the-scenes commander of the team.
Not to mention the new generation of Rondo, even after Garnett and others came to the team, the bad-tempered old guy like Sprewell were also used by Rivers. Isn't this an ability?
At the beginning, Spruway was also the number one who was not stingy. It was impossible for ordinary people to subdue him at all, but after arriving in Boston, regardless of whether he was a substitute or could only play for about 20 minutes per game, and there was no complaint.
If this had been placed in Minnesota, those Timberwolves fans would think it was a miracle!
Kassel is also the boss of the Clippers, saying the same role, but in Boston, he still obeys the command of Rivers and does whatever he asks. He can't say a word, full of a good baby image.
It's just that those media don't see this. They care more about the performance of the players. This is the NBA tradition. Few people go to see what the head coach on the sidelines is doing. At most, they can listen to what is roaring.
Of course, they are not listening to tactical arrangements or anything, but care that those coaches are not scolding.
The media can only see players, fans, and disturbances off the court, ignoring the role of the coach in this team. Maybe only a few people such as "Zen Master" have this attention.
Rivers has not yet joined the ranks of famous coaches, and in this league where coaches are obviously at a disadvantage, if you can't have a strong personal style, the media will not pay attention to your role.
Even if the team you lead has won the first place in the league and can sweep three teams in the East, when it comes to the Celtics, Rivers' name is still more regarded as a marginal supporting role.
There is nothing unfair about this. At least Rivers himself feels this way. He knows very well that players are the absolute protagonists on the court. Fans pay to buy tickets to see the stars, not the command of a fat man on the sidelines. They don't understand how to defend the joint defense, and they don't understand how to use the high. Bit.
This is the difference between professional and amateur. The layman is always lively. The doorway of the inside is only known by the inside. There are not so many professionals, coaches, and there is no sense of existence.
But the animals of the Celtics know very well that it is because of the existence of Siberdo and Rivers in the team that they can synthesize this team, and he has only used it for one season!
It took Auerbach two or three years to save the team that has won eight consecutive championships, but Rivers only has only one season to use, but he really tied these guys together!
Chen Feng is definitely a mixed demon king who killed on the street. It is really difficult for ordinary people to tame this beast. Takaniang has done this, but Rivers can also use him freely. This is definitely a kind of ability. Even Angie once said that if he was allowed to coach, he would be directly pissed off by Chen Feng. Of.
Auerbach actually said in the second half of the season, "Dogg has become much more mature now. He knows how to integrate the team and stimulate the maximum ability of the players."
If you can get such a comment from the bishop, Rivers's ability does not need to be questioned by others, and his achievements are there. Even Popovich's senior commanders have not surpassed him, so what else is useless? If you have the ability, you can also win the first place in the league! Or complete a sweep in the playoffs!
Rivers is subtly changing the team's tactical playing style and style, and quietly adjusting the team's state, so that Boston's tough style begins to integrate into everyone's mind.
And at this moment, Rivers' toughness is so fiercely exposed to the field. I'm afraid that the "Zen master"'s thoughts have been counted into other people's bones, but he didn't expect that a novice like Rivers dared to deal with it so boldly!
Compared with the "Zen Master", an old man who has reached the finals several times, Riversnen has almost no experience, but at this time, his counterattack shocked Phil Jackson, the old fox.
Three inside lines! All of them are from power forwards! This is more fierce than the Lakers' three-second zone containment tactics. Rivers directly put the three big guys on the field and fight with you to the end!
How big is there near the three-second area? What kind of scene would it be if there were six big guys over two meters piled up? I'm afraid no one has thought about this before the game, but Rivers dares to play with you like this! He didn't hesitate even before adjusting the tactics, and he put it out simply and directly!
"Hip them! Be beaten!" This is what Rivers said to the boy after dragging Chen Feng. The "Zen master" poses a tough posture, so Boston's response will only be more fierce!
The Lakers really haven't considered such a response, and the "Zen Master" hasn't called a pause, and the game is still going on. This rapidly changing situation can't allow the players to have any different thoughts.
Originally, it had just reached 18:18, and the Lakers wanted to use the defensive inside line to push the opponent's offensive line again, but now the Celtics are not just Chen Feng and Garnett poking on the court.
Webb is not as strong as Perkins, let alone the tonnage of Glenn Davis, but the old man's sharpest weapon is the high response. Who can prevent such a high passer?
Gasol did this job in the inside line of the Lakers. Similarly, Weber came up to connect the inside line at a high level, instead of letting Garnett and Chen Feng fall into a situation of singles.
Rivers has long thought about this hand. He is not playing casually. He has already considered whether the "Zen master" will seal the inside line. Now that it really comes, Weber's existence has a place to play!
There is no Rondo, but Ray Allen's speed with the ball is not slow. What's more, it's a position battle. He only needs to be prepared not to let Fisher break the ball, and he can win more space by relying on his height advantage.
Kobe could have helped to defend, but in the face of Pierce, Peter Pan did not dare to relax. Fisher wanted to use his tricks against Rondo at this time, but he couldn't resist Ray Allen.
Shaking, a seemingly fake shot, made Fisher lose his defensive position, but the "gentleman's sword" did not have a good breakthrough route, and the inside line was a little too crowded at this moment.
He can only choose to play on the periphery, or pass the ball. Fisher's dodge is enough for Ray Allen to give the basketball to Weber accurately.
Chris Weber used to be the best power forward, receiving the ball in his hand, with his back to Odom. Turn around? When Weber's shoulder just shook, Odom was already stuck in advance.
He doesn't want to face such a big guy, and he can make the other party attack comfortably. Although the distance in Weber's hand is not a hundred shots, if you dare to hit the hit rate.
Then Webb is absolutely able to get in! His shooting rate has been stable this season, and Odom dares not relax.
But as soon as Odom's footsteps moved, Weber's next move made the "lama" card position a decoration.
The best insider with the best passing skills and the most creative power forward. This is what many people think of Weber. It may be a little exaggerated, but you can't deny this guy's sense of response. It's really a bug.
Odom now thinks that Weber must be cheating, otherwise he can't convince himself why that guy can accurately give the basketball to the basket without turning back!
NOLOOKPASS, without looking at people passing the ball, Weber really didn't look back at this moment, but he could pass the ball through Odom's side and accurately gave it to Chen Feng, who had slipped from the bottom line to the basket.
You don't know when Chen Feng was in place. Similarly, you don't understand how Weber observed this. Anyway, when the ball arrives, people arrive! The whole cooperation is just right and extremely accurate!
Odom didn't understand how the ball passed, so don't expect him to turn around and block it.
And Bynum was still entangled with Garnett. Originally, he thought Webb would hold the ball and play singles by himself. Both of them were stuck and were ready to fight for control of the rebound. The "Little Shark" wanted to retreat, but it was too late.
Gasol may have been the first to react, but by the time he jumped up to intercept, the fierce bald boy had already risen into the air, and the passive Spaniard looked at a dark shadow and pressed him.
There is no hesitation! Gasol's interception has been completely defeated in mid-air, and the embarrassed Spaniard can only be staggered out of the bottom line by the brutal force.
He sat in the reporter's pile, and under the basket, only Chen Feng's fierce dunk action was still strong, and the basket was also pulled by this guy to make a metal sound.
The animal that grabbed the basket and shook it hard before landing was roaring fiercely at the "Zen master" on the sidelines! Old man! Come on! Try to let your people block me!"
No one could have thought that Weber's pass would be so accurate and strange. He didn't expect that Chen Feng would take the initiative to burn the war to the head of the "Zen Master" after he was successful in the attack.
In Chen Feng's eyes, the old man with white beard is not a good person. He is an opponent, and he is also a calculating guy. Be polite to him!? Chen Feng is not a model model for respecting the old and loving the young!
The fight on the inside line is a fierce blood! Just like now, let your opponent have a sense of timidity that they can't resist! Block the three-second zone! Then let's see if you can do it or not!
Boston's basket has not been attacked yet! Los Angeles! Listen to the roar of Bostonians! Tremble!
Three strikers, break the blockade! Rivers fought back with his fierceness and gave the "Zen master" a difficult problem...
