Chapter 173 Set out in doubt
The NBA's schedule is always so tight. No matter which team has any big deal, whether they haven't read the running-in period or not, it is just going step by step, and it doesn't give anyone a chance to breathe at all.
The Celtics deal is still fermented in the Boston media, but Rivers has to take this group of new players and his original lineup, which is the first game after the lineup is replenished.
The three newly joined guys only had time to practice with the team for two days, so they had to go to Memphis with them.
Although there were three new faces at once, the whole lineup of the Celtics did not look so bloated.
The main reason is that Rivers and Angie's movements are also fast enough. If they sign the contract here, they will directly cut off Ogwokandi. Although this is a helpless move, it can at least save more than a million salary space.
The most important thing is that Rivers doesn't want to see such a hard-working guy waste time on his team's bench and bring that negative emotions to the team.
And Ratliff also asked them to send the injury list. The old guy had no problem with this decision.
Although it doesn't look luxurious to throw a guy with an annual salary of 10 million on the bench, Rivers also said frankly, "If he can't be tougher, I might as well play with Scarabryon."
A ten-thousand-year-old substitute and a former block king are actually not comparable, but in terms of the two people's attitude towards the game, Skara Bryan can definitely throw Latlev a few blocks away.
The red-haired Scarla Bryan is a vicious dog under Rivers. This guy's offensive ability is mediocre and his defensive consciousness is average, but he has one advantage, that is, he can do whatever he does.
No conditions, no bargaining, but whenever he needs this guy to play for a few minutes, whether he is facing a big man like O'Neill or a tough guy like Wallace, he dares to kowtow to the other party to the end.
In the away game with the Pistons, this guy even flew out of the bottom line to save the ball, rushing for this desperate spirit. Rivers was also willing to let this guy stay on the bench, even guarding the water dispenser.
Ogvokandi has gone far away, and Ratliff has no chance to play for the time being. Angie has delegated Powell to the development league. These moves are all to make room for the new players.
In fact, whether these guys can successfully integrate into the team, Rivers and Angie had no idea before, but it has only been two days, at least on the training ground, they have become one.
Needless to say, Weber's temperament is not particularly easy-going, but he is definitely not as a big-name star, and he and Pierce are old acquaintances, and there is no gap between them.
Not to mention Novak, he is a rookie, and he has to do chores to help others carry a pair of shoes or something. Although this guy is quite tall, he is by no means that kind of tough personality and rarely annoying.
The only thing that worries Rivers may be Spreeville. After all, this guy has a good reputation. Even if Auerbach is oppressing him, he can't help making waves in the team.
In fact, the reason why Rivers and Angelie are worried is also very simple. Spreville is a madman. There is nothing to say. What's wrong is that there is also a wild boy on the Celtic side.
Although Chen Feng is a junior compared with Sprewell, this boy's tough attitude has never taken anyone. If the two gunpowder barrels touch each other, it won't explode?
But this scene that made Rivers collapse did not happen, and the two crazy people came together.
Well, what kind of world is this!? When Rivers saw Chen Feng and Sprewell hooking together, he was a little short-circuited.
Indeed, no one can understand how these two psychopaths get together, and looking at that posture, it means a little late to meet each other, right? Only ghosts know what's going on!
Pierce's explanation of this strange phenomenon is only one sentence, "The madman meets the madman. The two of them are on the channel and are ready to go crazy together."
Rondo's words were more straightforward, "That guy is very happy that someone can finally do evil with him."
But it was only later that Rivers realized that Sprewell was a modification maniac who loved motorcycles, and the wild boy had a beautiful car modification technology when he was still on the street.
There's nothing I can do. At the beginning, the heavy truck that Chen Feng's father bought was a second-hand truck. There was always something wrong with it. Moreover, his father also had the skill of repairing cars. When Chen Feng was next to him, he was already a skilled person. Later, he made long-distance transportation by himself, and he had to deal with cars, so he practiced his skills. It is.
And it's common to drive racing in Texas. Characters with a little craftsmanship like Chen Feng will always change other people's motorcycles. Over time, there will naturally be more.
Especially when Sprewell saw Chen Feng parked in the heavy truck outside the stadium, the fierce feeling made this revilable guy find that he could talk with Chen Feng.
It was originally a pair of gunpowder barrels, but it turned out that they were all right because of this opportunity, which made Rivers and Angie feel that God, this old guy is so fucking amazing!
However, there are no contradictions within the team, which does not mean that there is no strangeness between them. The running-in thing has to be achieved by the game, and what Rivers needs is time.
"If they had played the previous 20 games, maybe we have finished running in by now."
Looking at the sudden increase of players in his hand, Rivers told Angie with emotion that he really hoped to integrate these guys into the team's system immediately, and then let these animals kill everywhere.
"Oc's it, man, don't complain about those things that have passed. I can find so many helpers for you. I have spent a lot of brain cells. Now I can only pray that these guys meet your wishes."
Although Sprewell did not make any fierce crazy deeds after joining the team, how much help he and Webb can provide to the Celtics has become a question that many people doubt.
One is a 33-year-old insider, and the other is 36 years old. Can these two old guys still gain a foothold in the NBA? Many people are very un optimistic about this.
Weber can be bought out by the 76ers, which is a good thing in itself. If he is in good condition, the Philadelphians will never do this kind of loss-making business. After all, it is more than 20 million!
Although he has played more than a dozen games in the regular season, Weber's average score does not look too bad, but many media have also said that old injuries will be the key to restrict Weber's performance.
And an excellent insider will inevitably start to decline after the age of 33, and O'Neal is not spared, which is estimated to be the exception of Jabbar's immortality.
Weber just stepped on this hurdle. Although many team managers want to recruit him, they also know that there is still a lot of risk behind this contract.
Now that the Celtics have signed the contract, everyone is waiting to see if these Bostonians have made a loss-making deal.
Compared with Weber, not to mention Spreeville, the age of 36 is no longer young, and he is idle at home for a year. How much is left now?
Many people think that Anjihua's two million, in addition to making the media and reporters pay attention to Boston, the madman signed is not a bomb, but also a decoration.
"Latrell has been away for a year, and his condition may not be able to return to the strength of the game in the short term. The Celtics' gambling is actually very risky."
This is a report from a Boston reporter. Although he also supports the Celtics, Angie's two deals do make many people take a wait-and-see attitude.
Some are waiting to watch the fun, and some are worried about the team, such as Murphy, a loyal supporter, who hopes that these two old guys can rejuvenate in Boston.
Although it is still unclear, sitting on the flight to Memphis, Murphy began to plan a lineup for Rivers, and Xie Miaomiao, a colleague, said that he was quite helpless.
That's how the Celtics were suspected of going on their way, and after arriving in Memphis, Rivers said to everyone, "Use your hands to defeat those doubts!"
This is not only for Weber and his new players, but also for others.
In the previous games, in addition to the away victory over the Bulls, the Celtics can be said to be a losing streak, losing to the Jazz, the Bucks and the Magic, and the ranking also dropped one place.
The pursuers, walkers and wizards behind him have made Rivers feel pressure. If he continues to lose a few more games, he is not only afraid of the decline in the ranking, but also the loss of the team's cohesion.
Although there are a few more veterans now, the Celtics as a whole still tend to be younger. Once they start to collapse, no one may be able to save that decline.
Rivers hasn't forgotten the lesson of last season. He doesn't want the team to continue to sink. This is his team. He needs to take these fierce guys to a bloody road!
So now Rivers is going to talk to these little animals in Memphis! They want to stop this downward trend! Isn't no one optimistic about our future? Then speak with the facts!
Starting from the soft persimmon of the grizzly bear, the head coach of the Grizzlies, Flatello, must not know these words of the Grizzlies. If he knew, he would definitely jump to curse.
Because compared with the Celtics, his sad head coach is on the verge of being fired, but Fletello's unlucky experience will not let the bandits put down their butcher knives.
Just like Chen Feng's inhumane guy, he is waiting to wrestle with his sister-in-law.
I hope God can bless poor Flette and the Spaniard who has just recovered.
