Chapter 46 Rivers' Ambition

Chen Feng is still a little worried about losing his first game, but Rivers has no feeling. Anyway, he also wants to experiment with tactics and select the players to stay.

If a coach who wants to live in the NBA doesn't even have the ability to withstand failure, he will probably have suffered from depression and committed suicide. After all, the best record of 82 games is just 72 wins.

Would you like to win? Er, unless you have twelve golden saints in your team, there are not many animals that can hold out all eighty-two games, not to mention winning every game.

I guess you have that strength. Stein will find a way to trick you. The NBA doesn't need any invincible team, just like the original Celtic dynasty, which makes many people feel desperate.

Now Rivers is not plotting to win a few beautiful games in the pre-season. He needs applause and shouts from fans, but it is better to put this kind of encouragement in the regular season stage.

Especially after playing a game with the New Jersey Nets, Rivers has more to consider.

"Kid's organizational ability is still the biggest dependence of the Nets, but their inside line is not as strong as when they reached the finals, which is an opportunity for us!"

When facing his coaching team, Rivers never hides his desire to win.

Last season, the Celtics were too weak, so Rivers could only be a left-behind coach.

But in the game with the Nets, Rivers still saw that the opponent's strength began to decline.

In particular, the opponent's coach Frank's current tactical arrangements have not made much progress, and it can even be said that he is a little regressing. His ability to control the team is obviously not as good as before.

After being suppressed by the Nets for several years, it's time for the Celtics to breathe!

"The Nets also have Jefferson, Kidd and Carter, but their inside players really have no deterrent." Siberdeau agreed with Rivers.

The same is true. When Kidd's old partner Martin changed the court, the inside line of the Nets has not been able to find a pillar to rely on. This situation has become more and more serious in the past two seasons.

If it hadn't been for Carter and Jefferson in the team who would have supported the facade for the Nets, it is estimated that Kidd would have been difficult to cook without rice.

"The strength of the Nets has declined significantly, and the transfer turmoil of the 76ers will also affect a lot of things, and there is no conclusion now, so our opportunity has come."

After saying this, Rivers slapped the schedule of the Atlantic Division, the Raptors, the Nets, the 76ers, plus the New York Knicks and the Celtics.

"We haven't won the first place in the Atlantic Division for several years. This season, I hope there will be a qualitative change. When the opponent is weak, the Celtics should rise!"

This is Rivers' determination for the new season. He has been aggrieved for several years. Now the Nets and the 76ers are in trouble at the same time. Why don't they take this opportunity to take back the first place in the division?

The Nets will not have a large-scale personnel deal before the start of the season. Through a pre-season game, it can be seen that the Collins guys can't afford their inner defense strength.

Without Kidd's spicy retracement, Chen Feng alone can completely explode the opponent's inside line.

And the Celtics did not play all the main players in that game. Although the Nets are also training, Kidd and Carter have been playing for more than 25 minutes.

Pierce only played for five minutes, and Perkins and others did not play for more than 15 minutes. If it is to train, maybe the Celtics' approach is more pure, and the Nets still have a bit of a winning mentality.

Although Kidd also has a good offensive hand like Carter around him, the inside line loses the ability to check and balance others. It is always floating on the outside line waiting for the opportunity to open fire, and the lethality will be very limited.

At the beginning, Martin was a standard rough guy, but that big guy's rebounding ability and defensive strength are indeed far better than a group of insiders of the Nets now. At least Martin is strong enough.

The strength of the Nets is not as good as before, so Rivers has the idea of stepping on his opponent.

However, compared with the current situation of the Nets, the team that Rivers has been paying attention to during the summer transfer is probably the Philadelphia 76ers led by Iverson.

The 76ers are strong, and they are stronger than Iverson.

Similarly, they are weak in their dependence on Iverson.

No one will deny Iverson's particularity in the 76ers. Although their head coach Chix has always claimed that the team is playing the overall tactics, no matter who knows that Iverson is the boss.

Even if Philadelphia has been saying that the Iguodala they chose is a small AI and the new generation of power that the team needs to rely on, anyone with eyes can see the gap between Iguodala and Iverson.

Originally, Rivers always thought that if the Celtics wanted to win the first place in the Atlantic Division, the 76ers were a hurdle, and it was not easy to beat Iverson.

But just as Rivers scratched his head a little, the rumor that Iverson and the management fell out and asked for a transfer broke out, although Philadelphia has been denying the rumor.

However, anyone who has been in the league for a long time can smell the smell of gunpowder between Iverson and the management, and Philadelphia just says that they have not negotiated a deal with anyone.

I didn't talk to anyone. Such a tone obviously has a loose meaning. I don't talk about it, but I just haven't found a suitable target or trading chips, instead of never mentioning it.

Such a subtext has never appeared since Iverson's franchise City 76ers, but this time, Philadelphia does not seem to have completely eliminated the possibility of trading, and has vaguely left a living.

"With Iguodala, maybe Chix wants to build his own team, and Iverson has become the biggest obstacle to his tactical ideas, and Iverson is thirty-one years old."

Rivers will not evaluate the way other teams are built. Although it does look a little cruel and ruthless to clean up his former meritorious officials, this is the NBA. There are only deals here, and there is no mercy.

"If Chix really thinks that Iguodala can replace Iverson, I can only say that he is crazy. Even if Iverson is thirty-one years old, he can't replace Iguodala. In addition to being able to jump higher and breaking through at a good speed, that guy doesn't even have many minimum offensive means.

Although Siberdeau is a coach specializing in defense, he also has his own say in evaluating players at the level of Iverson, and in his opinion, the successor chosen by Chix is really unreliable.

Iverson was able to win the top scorer at the beginning, but he didn't just rely on breaking through this unique skill. At least his shooting technique and stability can beat Iguodala's dunk a few blocks.

"I really hope Chix can stick to his own opinion, so that our life will be better."

Rivers is very kind, but if you can watch your competitors have bad luck, why not?

Especially for the two teams in the same division of the Celtics, if their status declines significantly, the Green Shirts will take the lead in winning the playoff tickets and even the ranking of the Eastern Conference.

As for the other two competitors in the same district, the Raptors and the Knicks, Rivers is not so worried.

The chaos of the Knicks has been going on for a long time. Looking at the preseason, this chaos is likely to continue. Even if Dolan's blood change now can't save anything.

If the spirit of a team is gone, it can't come back quickly without changing coaches and players.

What's more, Dolan's vision has always been problematic. Anything he bought at a high price is basically not easy to use.

Now the Knicks have to pay a large amount of luxury tax every season, and then raise a group of people who can't play the ball.

But you really have to admire that Dolan is rich. There is no way to envy and hate him.

As long as the prodigal son is still the boss, the Knicks may keep doing this. Anyway, the players can get benefits, as for the record.

The boss doesn't care. Will the players care?

The Raptors were a little popular after the draft, but after the first preseason, not only was Bagnani hit, but even Michelle was a little unstable.

And the poor record of four consecutive defeats in the pre-season has indeed made many Toronto fans start to be manic, although Michelle can explain to the outside world that the team is training.

But it's a very chaotic scene and tactical arrangement. The Raptors don't look like they are going to turn over.

Whether it was the era when Iverson led the 76ers to advance, or when Kidd took the Nets to the finals, the Atlantic Division has never had such a chaotic stage.

But this kind of chaos made Rivers see the chance for the Celtics to break out of the siege.

"Man, I think this is an opportunity given to God. Although I can't guarantee that I will lead the Celtics to regain the glory of the eight-game winning lap, we must rush to the playoffs!"

"As for how far I can go in the playoffs, but in these games in the pre-season, these kids have given me a lot of confidence. Who dares to say that they will not bring us miracles in the regular season?"

Rivers' clenched fist at this moment has shown his confidence and ambition? In fact, everyone is ambitious, but it needs a suitable soil to germinate and grow.

Now that the Celtics' performance has given Rivers such an opportunity, and the dough fat man has buried such an ambition to rise in the east.

Reshaping the Celtics dynasty? Who said it was a fantasy?

A chubby guy is now preparing to start this journey with his green shirt...
