Chapter 127 The Gap

The crazy Mavericks showed the tough style of their boss in the West, just like the toughness in the bones of the Texans. Even in the away game, they suppressed the Celtics with firepower.

Especially in the case of the opponent's crazy counterattack in the second quarter, the Dallas people never collapsed.

It may be the atmosphere of the entire stadium that made these Dallas people explode. Amidst the boos, they chose to fight hand-to-hand.

With fierceness to fierceness, after Johnson was slammed by Rivers' combination punch, the guy also responded with his own fierce counterattack.

There was no backing down, no flinching, it was just the tip of the needle against the wheat awn. The horns of the mad cows directly poked into the hinterland of the Celtics, stirring vigorously.

And the Celtics have exploded here, otherwise they wouldn't start with four fouls.

Perkins was sent off for six fouls in the fourth quarter of the game. It is conceivable how fierce the Celtics are fighting.

Chen Feng also received five fouls, but this guy failed to continue his fierce offensive style in the last few minutes to save the entire team. This depressed feeling made him stay silent after he left the field.

But the collective assault of such a group of Dallas Mad Bulls did catch the Celtics by surprise, and Rivers' timeout and adjustments failed to save the precarious situation.

All the adjustments made by the pair of Thibodeau and Rivers were trampled by the offense of the mad cows.

The system and tactics, at the end of the third quarter and the first 8 minutes of the fourth quarter, were all floating clouds. Both sides of the Mavericks and Celtics were like red-eyed fighters. .

Here Terry made a super long-range three-pointer, and Pierce dared to cut directly with the ball. Facing Howard's block, it was a fierce dunk.

Not to mention the pair of Dirk Nowitzki and Chen Feng have been completely connected inside, often when Dirk Nowitzki's mid-range shot fell into the basket, Chen Feng used the opportunity of chasing and counterattacking to slam dunk vigorously.

Although Diop and Dampier were entangled with Diop and Dampier in the back, Chen Feng was still able to make waves at the basket.

It's just that the lack of strength failed to narrow the point difference between the two teams. Even if the Boston fans kept roaring in the stands, it didn't help the team at all.

The media, live dj, including Kenny Smith and Miller are feeling the madness of the Mavericks.

"This kind of offense is the wealth left by the old Nelson to the Mavericks. When they are forced to retreat to the corner, they can often burst out with this fierce temperament, but compared with before, it is still a little weaker. Maybe the Mavericks can only play in the old Nelson is the kind of old madman who can play the best form."

When Murphy watched the Mavericks' offensive tide that year, he seemed to recall how fierce the Mavericks led by old Nelson were. As for now, Johnson was just copying the past.

Great teams are built over time, and when the Celtics attempted a comeback in the fourth quarter, the depth of the Mavericks' bench stifled that possibility.

This is also the backhand that Johnson has already prepared for. As long as the rotation rhythm is entered, it will be the time for the Mavericks to come back. The bench lineups of the two teams are indeed too different.

This has nothing to do with the background of the team, but after several years of tossing, the Celtics were too messed up by Pitino. Even if Auerbach returns, even with Angie's management, it will not help.

The Celtics need enough time to make up for the missed time, and the composition of a team also needs to rely on accumulation. The strength of the Mavericks can only be achieved through years of accumulation.

Although the trading of Nash and Finley was controversial at the beginning, the facts have proved that it is more appropriate to build a team with the Germans as the core.

Although Nash won the MVP trophy for two consecutive years, the Mavericks were able to reach the finals, but the Suns could only wear a gorgeous hat and watch others win the trophy.

This is not an afterthought, but just a different position. The German is more suitable to take root in the Mavericks, and Nash is also the absolute core leader who is most suitable for the Suns.

It's just that compared with these two teams, the Celtics still need enough time to make up the gap.

The Mavericks have passed that stage, at least now it seems that their lineup is strong enough to give these guys the confidence to reach the finals.

Assisting a group of fierce go-getters can make the Mavericks reach the finals last season and make them proud of the Western Conference now. This is all in exchange for years of trading.

If the Celtics want to recover completely, apart from being able to pick a beast like Chen Feng, they also have to consider that they have to get rid of the bad assets inside the team little by little.

For example, things like Ogwakandi and Ratliff cannot be regarded as the cornerstone of future team reconstruction after all, but Angie, who stopped to watch from the sidelines, still doesn't know how to adjust.

But Ogwakandi and Ratliff have proven old and frail with what they've shown on the court.

At least they couldn't show Chen Feng's fierceness and Jefferson's stability. Compared with these juniors, these two were already considered old guys.

Ogwokandi, in particular, has completely confirmed his nickname as a parallel importer. In the last few minutes of this game, he replaced Perkins who had left the field with six fouls, and the result was zero points and rebounds.

Ratliff was a little better than Ogwakandy, but the guy only scored two points, got two rebounds, and a non-essential block.

That's because when Barea attacked inside, Ratliff could only slap his big slap in the face of a small man who was only 1.8 meters high.

Two semi-disabled big men, this is the evaluation given by Murphy and Xie Miaomiao. Although it seems a bit harsh, it is definitely accurate enough. Those two guys are like spectators.

No effort, no motivation, just like two old people waiting to retire at any time, idling around, waiting for the referee to blow the whistle for the end of the game.

Even if the teammates around them are desperate, even if the fans are shouting, they can no longer arouse their excitement.

Perhaps Angie and the bosses of the management will start to think about the future of these non-performing assets when they see this scene.

"Even if they buy out their contracts, these guys should be let go! Their existence has seriously affected the team's combat effectiveness, even worse than that red-haired Scarabrian!"

This is the evaluation of many Boston fans to Ogwakandi and Ratliff. Not only the fans reacted this way, but even the media reporters also gave objective suggestions.

It's just that whether this kind of suggestion and evaluation can touch Angie is still unknown. After all, that guy is the manager of the team and he has the right to make decisions.

Simply, the Celtics still have time. This season has only just begun. Even if they want to trade away the old, weak, sick and disabled, they still have two or three months to do something.

Compared with the Celtics, the Mavericks' bench firepower is so much that it is outrageous!

Barea, Stackhouse, Buckner, George, such a group of substitutes, meeting guys like Tony Allen and Scalabrian completely continued the suppression on the scene.

Especially in terms of offense, Stackhouse, as always, played the characteristics of his nerve knife, and the little Barea's breakthrough ability is as flexible as a groundhog.

He is not tall, and he is slithering around. There is no peace for the troubled Celtics.

What's more, the Mavericks also have Harris, who has been completely overwhelmed. That guy scored 20 points in the last two quarters by himself.

Harris relied on his own outstanding performance to wipe out the entire Celtics bench.

Rivers used to let Chen Feng stand up from the bench and play, but after the kid entered the starting roster, he increased the team's offensive firepower, but also weakened the strength of the bench players.

Once a substitute player is needed to provide fire support, the Celtics will be stretched, especially when Pierce and Chen Feng are in a stalemate with their opponents.

The bench lineup was completely weak, but on the Mavericks side, it was just a group of mad cows running wildly.

The bench score of the two teams was 35:19. Johnson's team completed the reversal by relying on this alone. The two teams competed in the starting lineup.

Even in terms of scoring efficiency and ability to control the scene, the Celtics are slightly higher here, but in terms of the ability of substitute players, the Celtics are completely blown by the Mavericks.

Neither Perkins nor Ratliff, who came off the bench later, could contain the opponent's offense.

Similarly, when Ratliff, Perkins, and Ogwakandi replaced Chen Feng and Jefferson, their offensive efficiency also plummeted, and their offensive advantage inside was instantly overwhelmed by their opponents.

Without a sharp inside attack, the outside scoring ability is not at the same level as the opponent's. The Celtics want to counterattack, but they definitely have more than enough energy.

Especially after Chen Feng was replaced, the Celtics scored only a pitiful six points inside. This was Jefferson's redemption by using his post-up singles.

Diop was also thrown onto the field by Johnson after Chen Feng left the field. This guy finally didn't have to be suppressed by that wild boy, and he also grabbed six rebounds along the way.

Dampier can score four points in the fourth quarter. Nothing is impossible in this world. The Mavericks can make goals no matter how they shoot, even if it is an accident.

The Mavericks, who were completely insane, could make any ball, especially Nowitzki on the offensive end, who was trying his best to attack Chen Feng's defensive side.

It's just that Nowitzki didn't get much advantage. In the direct confrontation with Chen Feng, he just fought half a catty.

But compared with the performance of the whole team, Nowitzki's slight lag at this point will not affect the operation of the whole team.

According to Johnson's words, let the two of them explode together or sink together. Anyway, I rely on other people to score to attack the Celtics.

Regardless of whether the kid took the initiative to post it or not, Nowitzki would take the initiative to find trouble. This kind of energy for confrontation almost drove Rivers a little crazy on the sidelines.

Nowitzki didn't make many fouls, so he was able to stick to his position, especially by taking advantage of the space left by Chen Feng to score 8 points on Ratliff's head with a golden rooster independent shooting posture.

This wave of charge directly established the final result. Even if the Green Shirts pursued vigorously, they could not recover the disadvantage.

Nowitzki himself was on the court for 43 minutes, and this guy bombarded the audience with 35 points.

In addition to scoring, the German also contributed 10 rebounds, more than half of which were obtained in the last two quarters, almost all of which were defensive rebounds.

It was because of Nowitzki's entanglement with Chen Feng at the basket that the Mavericks finally no longer had a headache for that guy's toughness.

In addition, the German also contributed a block, which was at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and directly slapped Chen Feng's forced layup.

Although 1 minute later Chen Feng washed away the depression of being blocked with a straightforward head-on two-handed dunk, but that blocked shot made the score stretched to 12 points.

Since then, the Celtics have been trying to reduce the score to single digits, but they tried hard for a quarter, but failed. When Chen Feng himself was off the field, he didn't say a word, and walked into the locker room with a cold face. It can be seen that this guy really cares about the failure of such a positive dialogue.

The Germans are crazy. Similarly, although the Celtics lost, Chen Feng's performance is also worthy of the adjective crazy.

28 points, 16 rebounds, 4 blocked shots and 3 assists. If you only look at personal statistics, maybe Chen Feng is not much better than Nowitzki, but the storm this guy created is shocking enough.

"The gap still exists, but he gave us hope." This is what Murphy wrote at the end of the article.

Indeed, compared to Dirk Nowitzki, a famous power forward, Chen Feng still seemed a bit immature. In terms of experience and on-the-spot coping, he was a little worse than his opponent.

But it's just such a boy who has just entered the NBA threshold for a few days, but in the second and third quarters, he carried the Celtics in a wild pursuit.

He almost single-handedly blasted the Mavericks inside. If Johnson hadn't resorted to the double-team tactics of Nowitzki and others, it is estimated that Diop would have been beaten to tears by him.

Lost, the Celtics lost at home, and the score of 111:99 was finally fixed on the scoreboard of the North Shore Garden Arena.

But there was a stubborn bald boy who made the Mavericks remember this moment with his fierceness.

There is a gap, but that is not a natural moat, that fierce guy will not let himself fall hard in a certain place continuously...
