Chapter 247 Boston Brush Team
In fact, it was not only the Pistons who fell in Boston. From the end of the All-Star Game, the fierceness played by the Celtics began to spread in the Eastern Division.
Rivers said that they had to fight hard, and then these guys really began to fight. In addition to defeating the Pistons, the eastern boss, at home, they also had a four-game winning streak.
Two away and two masters, this schedule is actually not very favorable. One of them is still back-to-back, but the animals in Boston have maintained a high level of performance in four games and won their opponents in a row.
In the back-to-back game, they won two victories in a row in the Sacramento Kings and the Bobcats in 30 hours, and both games were won by big scores.
In the game against the king, the score has been rewritten to 59:40 before the second quarter is over.
The last two quarters once widened the gap to 30 points. If Rivers hadn't been replaced by a substitute player in the fourth quarter, it was estimated that the Sacramento Kings would have ushered in the worst defeat of the season. However, even so, the loyal fans of the Kings have also begun to scold. It is.
Only Kevin Martin scored more than 20 points, and the team's second scoring point turned out to be Brad Miller, who pulled to the outside line and threw three three three-pointers, but this guy only scored 11 points.
Kenny Thomas, Mike Bibi, Sharif Abd al-Rahim, such as a star, can't find a guy who can score a double.
With this sluggish offensive state, it is obviously incomparable to the Celtics' livestock.
The Boston bandits, even Scarla Bryan, scored 10 points and 3 rebounds, and the team scored seven double points, but the team's highest statistics were the 27 points scored by Pierce.
Disperse the scoring points and fire everywhere. This is Rivers' arrangement before the start of the game. Originally, he was supposed to play a back-to-back game, so he scattered the attack in order to save a little physical strength.
However, such dispersion can be regarded as activating the Celtics' offensive points, but anyone who can play, the shooting feels a little against the sky. The basketball is all kinds of nets.
Even Rondo scored 11 points. In addition to breaking through, he also threw two three-pointers for the first time. Even Rivers couldn't help shouting when he saw this scene.
A guy who doesn't shoot much at all is starting to lose his temper. Can you still expect these animals in Boston not to rage? How can it be? Such a lot of flowers really caught the Kings off guard.
Before the start of the game, the Kings were still thinking about the confrontation between the Celtics and the Pistons. They were worried that they would meet these Boston bandits at home and fall into a hand-to-hand battle.
The result was good. The hand-to-hand defense did not meet. As a result, they ushered in a stormy wave of attack. Less than three minutes after the opening, the Celtics fiercely scored 13 points, a perfect start.
It must be a perfect start for the Celtics, but for the Kings, it is a disaster.
Originally at home, these guys just came up and wanted to rush to try to disrupt the Celtics' defensive position and then control the rhythm.
But before the Kings' group of guys made a beautiful attack, the Celtics' raid has begun, especially a long-distance delivery sent to Pierce after Rondo's opening jump.
That was the jump ball that Chen Feng pulled out when facing Brad Miller. Rondo grabbed the basketball before Biby, and then shook the ball almost without observation.
Pierce, who has killed the Kings' basket, received a pass and dodged under a beautiful basket, so that the strong Artest did not have a chance to get stuck, and took the opportunity to have a backhand layup.
It was an attack less than five seconds after the start of the game, and then returned to Bibby's possession and was cut off by Ron. Pierce blocked a relay station and hit it casually. Under the basket, Jefferson attacked again against Kenny Thomas.
However, the smoothness of the offensive end is not the biggest headache for the Kings. Boston's toughness on the defensive end is the key to completely killing the opponent's possibility of winning.
In the team's first five attacks, Chen Feng only attracted Miller and Thomas's bag by holding the ball on the weak side. The rest of the time, he was more like an excessive person, and he did not take action at all in the first three minutes.
But this does not affect Chen Feng's attention on the court, because this guy really does everything on the defensive end, just like what Takanien told him during the special training in Las Vegas.
"Don't try to make yourself independent from your team's defensive system. Remember, you have to integrate into it, or you have to let the whole team's defense, based on you, start running, which is crucial."
Chen Feng is not the kind of player from a professional background, so defense has always been one of his weaknesses. Especially in the face of players at the level of Nowitzki and Stadmeier, he can only try to blow up each other.
Maybe it's a good way to attack and attack, but when it comes to the key game, you can easily tear the opponent apart at this point, so the whole team will be very passive.
So during the special training, in addition to letting the boy figure out some defensive things by himself, he paid great attention to letting Chen Feng think about how to integrate his talent with the team.
Although that's not easy, Takanian is also very clear that if he can't solve this problem, Chen Feng will definitely encounter his own bottleneck soon. After all, you can't expect to explode with your opponents every game.
When it comes to the playoffs, a player who can only attack but not defend is bound to be weakened. The playoffs rely on defense to win the championship. This is the truth, not a casual joke.
In the past, Chen Feng fought too many times on the defensive end. This boy always relied on his animal-like talent to kill his opponent, but this method also has the fatal defect of messing up the whole defensive level.
Siberdu and Takanian are actually trying to integrate Chen Feng's ability into the whole team's defensive system. They are even trying to create a defensive trap with this boy as the center.
It's just that this method is in the trial stage. There is no need to question Chen Feng's talent, and his basketball IQ is very high. Many things are transparent, but this boy's experience is still lacking.
But Siberdeau and Rivers dared to do it, so when they met the Kings this time, Brad Miller was the biggest victim. He was forced to go out and throw three points, because in the inside attack, he shook Jeffson twice to prepare for a singles, but he was pushed away by the same slap. That's it!
Especially in the second singles, Bibby shook Rondo and gave a very beautiful pass, almost where Brad Miller could catch the ball and turn around and face the basket directly. Jefferson actually wanted to get stuck in the position, but the position was a little awkward and he couldn't stand it. Miller took the opportunity to wipe it in, and then raised the ball with one hand just to dunk it.
As a result, before Brad Miller really buckled one, he saw a big slap coming up against him. He repeated the previous encounter again and directly lifted the unlucky man with a slap.
That's really a suspenseful confrontation. Whether it's the timing or the explosive power, Miller's side is an absolute disadvantage, and these two fierce blocks made Miller a little scared.
This guy didn't even intend to stay under the basket later, but pulled it to the outside line to throw three points.
Although he also scored three goals, on the inside line, he shot a middle distance in a high position, but whenever he wanted to get close to the basket, he must be stopped by Jefferson and Chen Feng.
In fact, the Celtics are obviously not as strong as the previous confrontation with the Pistons, but the blockade on the inside line is very fierce. Rebounding and inside control do not give the opponent a chance at all.
Especially Chen Feng's deterrent power under the basket is simply an animal-level existence. Although this guy is not completely able to run into a complete system now, the trap around him has been born.
As Thibodeau said on the sidelines, "This boy is very smart, so he knows how to take advantage of his advantage. He knows how to dig a hole for his opponent." Then, someone was buried...
In fact, this is the effect that Rivers and Siberdu need. They can't expect Chen Feng, a hairy boy, to become the backbone of defense in an instant, but they need the tough consciousness of this little animal.
It can accurately pounce in place and block the opponent's basket attack, which is the most important. The remaining problems can be slowly run-in, and you can't be in a hurry.
Anyway, no matter how other competitors play, at least the Celtics have started at high speed.
Less than 30 hours after killing the Kings, they killed the Bobcats with a score of 100:78 on the territory of Master Qiao. The fierce attack stunned the other side.
And this is not the end. After two consecutive away victories, these guys also played very fiercely at home. The 76ers were ** by them again, and this time they really trampled the other side to death.
Not only is there no competitiveness in this region, but even the 76ers have made it clear that their team is preparing to rebuild, and this season's playoffs are no longer expected.
This is ready to be ruined. Although they are unwilling, after losing the game at the North Shore Garden Arena, the 76ers also have to recognize the fact that with the strong rise of the Celtics, they can only choose to retreat.
And another unlucky team is the Trail Blazers. They had expected Roy to show his recent good form in the game, but the Celtics' fierce attack made them coward.
In four consecutive games, at least five more people can score double in each game, averaging 15 points per game. This tough data is helping the Celtics start sprinting.
Chen Feng's average score per game has soared to more than 15 points, and his rebounds are close to 10. This double-double data is almost unique in the rookie data list.
Even Rivers himself said that these little brushes are crazily plundering victory...
