Chapter 62 Bench Bandit

"Keep an eye on Pierce. He is the soul of the Celtics. I don't want to see this guy play the first game in Madison. Remember, you are playing at home. Don't let it be full of boos! I don't think anyone wants to accept the three-game losing streak at the beginning. We will win this game!"

Thomas didn't know how many people could listen to his words before the game. He didn't want to admit it, but he knew very well that none of the big players in front of him could be willing to control him.

But he is the head coach. Even if he wants to support the scene, he has to be tougher in the locker room.

If you want to talk about the result of Thomas's motivation, it is estimated that a well-sighted person can understand it. Now Thomas is suffering desperately, and even his assistant shakes his head helplessly.

As for the reaction of the players, it can be said to be a little cold. Thomas's stubborn personality has almost offended the whole locker room. Now everyone is just not tearing their faces.

Marbury, Francis, Richardson, Channing Fry, Eddie Curry and Thomas have sent out the strongest lineup at hand. It is not enough to describe his situation now. Even if he is confident that he can sharpen a strong team, time is not waiting for him now.

The atmosphere of Madison Garden Square is still hot. As the oldest basketball hall in the league, even in the metropolis of New York, Madison Square Garden can show a little uniqueness.

Those stars on the sidelines will usually sit in the first row, with tickets of tens of thousands of dollars each. For them, it is not expensive, and the appearance rate here is not much lower than that of Fifth Avenue.

Compaion with these stars, there are more ordinary people in the stadium who can come in for more than ten dollars. They are also the most staunch supporters of the New York Knicks, of course, just for the team.

What the fans are shouting at this moment is not cheering and encouragement, but more a mockery of Thomas.

"Isiah! You idiot! Idiot! You can't build a championship with 100 million US dollars! You are wasting our lives! Why don't you get out of New York? Damn it!"

This crazy shouting is endless. The losing streak from the preseason has worn out the patience of the Knicks fans. Losing to the Bobcats is just a catalyst. The fans' anger began to gather crazily, and then it broke out in an instant. Thomas now doesn't even dare to show a little expression on his face.

The players didn't hear the boos from themselves, but Thomas, the head coach, has almost become a thousand words. I don't know how Dolan will feel when he sees this scene in front of him.

To make his home fans so annoying, Thomas is the ultimate. It is not the Knicks players who saved Thomas from this awkward atmosphere, but the Green Shirts who came to the door.

Although New York fans are dissatisfied with Thomas's coaching ability, they can still be consistent when they meet the visiting team that is looking for trouble.

After all, this is their territory, and there is no room for others to be wild here! Dude, this is Madison!

So when the Celtics came out, the deafening boos began to fill the Garden Arena. The Knicks may not have been the original Iron Blood Army for a long time, but the fans in New York are still **.

"This is New York, this is Madison. Everything here is very crazy, since half a century ago." Pierce turned his head and said to his teammates around him before he went out of the player channel. Compared with those novices, he is too familiar with such an away trip.

In the same region, the same enthusiastic fans, even if the Knicks have been weak in recent years, no one will deny the fanatical atmosphere of Madison Square Arena. Playing here is definitely a challenge, and it is also a kind of enjoyment. You can experience the pleasure of conquering the holy place of basketball.

"Calm down, just as I said to you in the locker room, the away game is like this. Don't be disturbed by boos and other things. Keep calm to play well."

Siberdu said seriously to the novices, Rondo and Chen Feng, that as an assistant coach, he must ensure that these novices can adapt to the away atmosphere as soon as possible, especially in a frenzied place like Madison Square. It really needs enough courage and calmness to adapt to such a venue.

"Tom, don't worry about me. I know what I should do. This atmosphere is actually nothing." Rondo waved his hand to indicate that Cibao himself had no problem. Although this was the first away game in the NBA, Rondo had at least been in the NCAA. Some college home games are also very fanatical.

Although the scene was not so hot, Rondo's calmness was no different from his feeling when he organized the attack on the court.

It is estimated that the only one who can touch his nerves now is nothing but Chen Feng.

"Don't look at me, boss. Even he, an alien, is fine. You don't have to think about my problem. There is absolutely no New York street here. Rock Park is sometimes more like a battlefield than this."

Although the crazy boos outside never stopped, Chen Feng didn't seem to hear it at all.

At this moment, the expression on his face has not changed. It seems that he has been used to such an atmosphere for a long time, and there is absolutely nothing to make a fuss.

Xibodu looked at the two novices in front of him and sighed in his heart, "I really don't know if it's lucky or unfortunate. I can get two such a rough guys in a draft. Now I really doubt if they know what nervousness is. It's really a freak every year. There are a lot this year."

With the shocking boos, a group of bandits killed from Boston appeared in Madison.

"Pierce, Jefferson, West, Szebiak, Perkins, you starters, remember the tactical arrangement I told you in the locker room. If the other side loses two games in a row, it will definitely attack in the opening stage. You must bite them desperately in the score. Don't relax, cut off the connection between them, and let They fight separately! The Knicks don't have a qualified tactical system. I believe you can do better things that even the Bobcats can do, right? Guys!"

Rivers ignored the boos in the stadium. He has long been used to such an atmosphere. Now he just seriously tells everyone to resolutely implement tactical arrangements before the start of the game.

In response to Rivers, it was also the roar of a group of big guys. Although it was away, it was still impossible to stop the roar of a group of animals, even after they roared, there was a bigger boo.

Rivers' tactics have not changed much, similar to the first game, but Pierce still smelled a little difference from Rivers' starting lineup. Although Rutlief was on the injury list because of the collision of the previous game, Ogvo Kandi's current physical condition is actually okay.

But Rivers did not choose this big man to enter the starting lineup. He would rather line up the two strong guys, Perkins and Jefferson, to guard the inside line than Ogwokandy, who is more dominant in height. This is undoubtedly what Rivers is telling others with his actions that if he is not in good condition, he can only make a cold bench.

It doesn't matter whether you are a former champion or a block king. As long as you don't perform well, don't plan to play. In order to wash away the shame of last season, Rivers has obviously been fierce this season.

Pierce and they see this level, but Siberdu can see more far-reaching. Ogwokandi was coldly treated by Rivers, Rutlief was not there, and Jefferson and Perkins were thrown up.

Now the only big men sitting on the bench are Gomez, Scala Bryan and Chen Feng.

Not to mention Scala Bryan. The whole is a ten-thousand-year-old water dispenser care. Gomez's level is also ups and downs. It's not easy to break out occasionally. Don't expect him to be strong all the time.

"Dogg, don't you want that boy and Ronto to enter the second lineup immediately?"

When the five starting players had stepped into the center of the field and waited for the game to start, Thibodeau asked his partner in a low voice.

"We can't play a season by starting. Besides, their performance in the first game is not bad, isn't it? Therefore, instead of using those players who have lost their competitiveness, I might as well take a risk. At least these two kids have the courage to see the red with their opponents' bayonets and will not be timidly retreat.

When Rivers finished this sentence, he turned his head and looked at his partner beside him. Thibodeau can only face him with a wry smile now. "Dogg, all I can say is that you are two people compared with last season."

"Now when you think about things, you are full of aggression, and there is a lot of gambling. It is basically the same feeling as the steady style of last season. I really don't know what makes you have such a big change."

Although the change in coaching style is not impossible, Siebodeau can't accept the rapid change of Rivers for a while. It seems that the old man has started this change since the pre-season.

"In fact, there is nothing wrong with it. The boss also said that sometimes I'm too bored. Being a coach, being radical is not a bad thing at all, right? Anyway, I feel that it is much better than last season's deadness.

I don't know whether Rivers's words were explaining to Siberdu or arguing with himself, but when he finished these words, he subconsciously glanced at Chen Feng, who was pulling Rondo and Scala Bryan saying something.

"Change? Maybe it's because of that guy. He dares to fight unscrupulously. Why have I lost the courage when I was a player? Anyway, no one is optimistic about the Celtics now. It's better to let go!"

Bloody, Rivers needs the team to be full of this bloody courage now. It may be a good idea to throw two bench bandits at the beginning of the rotation.

The simple Rivers also showed a less kind smile for the first time...

(The second update, pray for the blessing of my friend's family. I won't say anything else. The post at the top of the comment area, every 50th floor, I will add a chapter. Say it again, this is not an April Fool's Day joke!)
