Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 547 Save Big King James!
After the All-Star Game, the rematch between the Bobcats and the Celtics became the most anticipated event in the entire NBA.

The Bobcats are undefeated so far this season.

The Celtics also remained undefeated after completing the trade for Leonard. At the same time, after completing the trade for Chris Paul, they defeated their competitors in every game, even against super teams like the Cavaliers and the Heat, they were able to win easily.

On March 3, they defeated the challenging Lakers 1-101 at home.

Kobe's final step-back three-pointer against Leonard's defense missed the buzzer-beater, and the Celtics eventually defeated the Lakers at home.

With this wave of super winning streak, the Celtics have climbed to second place in the Eastern Conference. The Northern Expedition was successful and all they need to do is beat the Bobcats.

It is impossible for the Celtics to become the No. 1 team in the Eastern Conference this season, so for the Celtics, maintaining the second place in the Eastern Conference and defeating the Bobcats in the regular season will be considered a success.

After the Lakers lost to the Celtics on the road, they lost back-to-back to the Bobcats on March 3.

This season, the two encounters between the Lakers and the Bobcats have ended, and the Lakers lost both times against the Bobcats.

At the same time, the Bobcats' strongest opponent in the remaining schedule is the two games against the Celtics.

The Celtics are also considered the only team in the NBA that has a chance to stop the Bobcats from winning all the games.

The Thunder in the West also have one more chance to play against the Bobcats.

But the Thunder's strength is indeed not that stable. Even after the trade for Anthony, it is still not very stable.

It should be said that of the Thunder's big four, Anthony and Westbrook are not such stable players.

These two people are really strong when they are strong, but they are also really bad when they are bad.

It is still in the process of adjustment.

However, if Anthony and Westbrook really perform, no team in the league can stop them.

So, overall, the Thunder still has a chance, but the Celtics definitely have a greater chance.

Therefore, the world's attention is now on the Celtics' home game against the Bobcats on March 3th.

Boston, Celtics training ground. At this time, Celtics players are all training.

Since Paul was traded, the Celtics' training ground has become less intriguing.

After being beaten up by Leonard in the All-Star Game, James has become completely obedient.

The Celtics now have only one boss, and that person is Leonard.

Leonard has a very dull personality, but he has already firmly established himself as the team leader.

It seems that since no one is competing with him for the position, he has naturally secured his position as the boss.

However, among the four superstars, although no one is scheming for the position of team leader, the four are still clearly divided.

Davis and James are on the same side.

Leonard and George train together.

It is incredible that a taciturn person like Leonard would smile from time to time while training with Paul George.

Actually, if you look into it carefully, this is nothing. Even though George was only traded for a month, he and Leonard actually knew each other in high school.

Because of the continuous waves of forced trades on the team, many fans in the league now call Leonard "scheming card" and George "Joe Shouxin". It seems that the character of both of them has been questioned and no longer trusted.

These two people who were not trusted actually had a very good friendship.

Both of them are from California and are of similar age, George was born in 90 and Leonard was born in 91. According to the American youth basketball system, the two actually knew each other in high school.

The two were not in the same team, and the past was nothing. But when the two are in the same team and need to support each other, such a relationship becomes very important.

Soon, the two of them became close friends and good friends who trusted each other.

When fellow villagers met, this time they really shed tears.

Well, actually, when they were not in the same team, the two had a very good relationship and often contacted each other privately.

After all, the two of them often met each other in games from high school to college, and they respected and liked each other. At the same time, both of them were selected by the Pacers.

There are too many tie points.

So, some time ago, the American media gossip network reported that Leonard and his girlfriend Hill Spree, who he had been in love with for more than a year, got married secretly. No one from the Celtics team was invited, but George was invited.

The media took a warm photo of Paul George and Leonard at a private dinner.

In the photo, George hugged his new girlfriend and stood side by side with Leonard, both of them showing bright smiles.

In the photo, Leonard is hugging his girlfriend, who is also his secretly married wife.

Leonard in the photo is smiling very happily and brightly. It is hard to imagine that Leonard, who is usually serious, would have such an expression on his face.

After arriving in Boston, Leonard has become the focus of the media.

Although Boston's attention is not as high as that of the Bobcats and Lakers, it is not comparable to that of the Spurs and Raptors.

In the past, Leonard didn't receive any gossip media attention.

Now that he has come to the Celtics and become the boss of the Celtics, all kinds of gossip media have come to him.

Then, the amazing thing is that the gossip media captured Leonard in private and he loves to laugh.

What’s even more amazing is that when Leonard laughs, most of the time it’s Paul George standing next to him.

This is not only magical to Celtics fans, but also to fans who like Black George and Leonard.

Xinji Ka and Qiao Shouxin can actually become such sincere friends and have such a trusting friendship.

When two such scheming people stand together, shouldn't they shoot each other in the back and stab each other?
No matter what, it is precisely because Leonard and George have such a good off-court friendship, coupled with the fact that the two are very compatible on the court, that the Celtics have finally stabilized completely.

With George's support, Leonard is indeed very comfortable in the Celtics.

James dare not not pass the ball to Leonard on the court, because Paul George can also hold the ball and organize. Although he is not as good as James, he is good enough. He can pass the ball to Leonard alone and play pick-and-roll with Leonard.

With George's support and after completely securing his position as the team leader, other Celtics players are also willing to gather around Leonard.

For example, the team's backup guard Smart decisively chose Leonard and George over James and Davis and Leonard and George.

James really stabbed his brother in the back.

Qiao Shouxin and Xinji Ka stabbed the team in the back.

If you are a Celtics player, of course you would choose someone who backstabs the team instead of someone who backstabs your brother.

He has George in the starting lineup to support him, and Smart in the bench to support him.

Leonard put pressure on James from all angles for 48 minutes. As long as James dared to have other thoughts, Leonard could take action immediately.

With the support of George and Smart, Davis is nothing to be afraid of.

Without the ball, Davis is just a protective color for everyone. He can't do anything except defend.

However, Leonard did not completely suppress James' ball possession and Davis' offensive rights.

Leonard and Paul are still different.

Leonard actually prefers to play dead most of the time, and he is not that obsessed with data.

As long as Leonard handles the critical moment, Leonard is actually willing to give the ball to James and Davis during regular time.

As long as James doesn't have any tricks up his sleeve, Leonard is happy to be a terminator. After all, James' organizational ability is much better than George and Smart's.

With the support of James, the big Pippen, he feels more comfortable playing the role of Jordan.

So, now the Celtics have achieved an incredible dynamic balance.

The team was actually completely stabilized.

This made Danny Ainge and Magic Monty very happy.

Finally, the difficulties the team has encountered in recent months have been resolved.

The Celtics are now a mercenary group formed with one goal in mind.

Asking them to treat each other as brothers is just a dream.

It is not easy for everyone to come together with the same interests.

For example, Randolph, in order to defeat Coach D and get revenge, Randolph actually sacrificed a lot in the Celtics.

This big black bear doesn't care about his playing time, his position in the team, or his statistics. He just wants to defeat Coach D.

You can't expect everyone to be like Randolph.

As long as we can be like James, Davis, Leonard and George, it would be good enough.

For now, it seems that we are still comrades moving forward together, which is very good.

As long as there is this kind of disunity, the Celtics will be strong enough.

"Monty, our team is good in everything except a player who can blast through from a single point."

Are the Celtics perfect now?

In fact, there is no perfection.

The starting lineup of Davis, James, Leonard, George and Jeff Green is strong in defense, but it also exposed a problem when facing the Lakers, that is, their breakthrough ability on the offensive end is slightly lacking.

Now the league does not allow traveling to break through, and James's breakthrough ability has been almost cut by 90%. Without traveling, James cannot beat Monty Williams in one-on-one defense. This is not a joke. James was really humiliated by Monty Williams in one-on-one defense.

So, the breakthrough player for this Celtics team is actually Paul George.

Leonard is also not good at dribbling and breaking through.

Paul George's breakthrough ability is at the top level in the league, which is indeed good.

But we also have to look at who he is compared with. Compared with top players who are good at breaking through defense, such as Wade, Rose, McCaw, Irving, Jordan, Westbrook, Durant, etc., George is at least one level weaker.

And these players are all players of the Celtics' competitors.

This is very upsetting.

The Celtics are indeed a bucket team now, but the shortest part of this bucket is not long enough, making it easy to be targeted.

The Lakers' Popovich was targeted once in a disgusting way.

If the Celtics had not relied on defense to withstand the pursuit of Kobe and other Lakers players in the end, the Celtics would have lost the game.

Therefore, after playing against the Lakers, Magical Monty has been focusing on solving the team's breakthrough and offensive problems.

Davis, Leonard, James and George are definitely the four players who cannot be eliminated.

The only one who could adjust was Jeff Green.

Jeff Green has very reliable three-point and key ball abilities.

He plays a big role next to this group of stars, but if the team needs to break through, he can indeed be substituted.

This is the problem that the team exposed when Paul left.

Because of Paul, the Celtics frantically stockpiled forwards when building the team.

Marvin Williams, Jae Crowder, and Jeff Green are all very good forwards.

However, they all lack lethality.

In fact, after trading Paul away, they saw the problems of the team. The team needed a player with excellent breakthrough ability.

The Celtics also made their final move, but the players in the league with extremely strong lethality now have very high trading value, and those with not so high trading value all have great flaws.

In the end, the Celtics got nothing in return.

The problems after Paul's departure have become the Celtics' Achilles' heel, which makes people feel that there is a sense of karma.

Because the team lacks a key type of player, the role of the head coach becomes extremely important.

"It would be great if James could still walk in the NBA now..."

The assistant's sigh stunned Magical Monty.

Magic Monty looked at the assistant. The assistant felt a little embarrassed being looked at by Magic Monty like that.

"Monty, you know, that's not what I meant. I'm not the kind of clown who wants to break the rules in the hope of gaining an advantage."

Although he did feel that if James of this Celtics team could break through and prevent traveling, then the team would indeed be invincible.

This is beyond doubt and will be invincible without any shortcomings.

James can't walk. Do you know how much James' strength has been reduced?

Without the lethality of the breakthrough, the opponent's defense can stick to him, making James' already unstable shooting even worse.

Without the ability to travel, James's breakthrough and shooting abilities have dropped drastically, leaving him with only good passing and cutting to the basket.

With such a James, it might be a stretch to call him an All-Star.

Because James may not be able to beat any All-Star level forward in a one-on-one match.

"Monty, you don't want to train James to have the ability to break through, do you? He does have the physical talent, but he has wasted his time in the NBA for more than a decade. It's impossible for him to train his ability again."

Monty Williams shook his head.

"No, do you think a breakthrough really requires such strong skills?"

You can't travel. Of course, a breakthrough requires skills, but James has no skills. His change of direction makes people want to laugh.

"I think, maybe, we can try to let LeBron try a breakthrough without technology!"

No technological breakthrough?!
What the hell? !

“Maybe I should thank Coach D. Maybe, LeBron will have a hard time in the future.”

James will never be lazy and put his hands on his hips again.

"Coach, as long as I can become as strong as before, I am not afraid of hard work!!!"

Even if he could go back to the James of 2007, no, even if he could go back to the LeBron James of 2003, he would be willing to do everything to make a comeback!
The current LeBron James is so annoying. The current LeBron James makes some of his thoughts and fantasies so helpless!
He hates the James of the past!

He hates James now even more!

With James' consent, Magical Monty's plan to save King James begins!
