Forward to the basket

The Celtics' winning streak may not be considered a rare thing in the eyes of those strong teams, but whoever has a winning streak does not have a record?The Bulls were able to play a sky-defying 72 wins and 10 losses!

They have only won four consecutive victories. Apart from the mediocre strength of their opponents, it is not easy for these guys to win these four games. Aside from the Grizzlies crash, the other three games were entangled until the last quarter.

At least that's the impression given to others by what is reflected in the data. After all, there are several games in the NBA every day, and not many people focus on the Celtics.

But for competitors in the same region, the fierce sprint of the Celtics really made the Raptors and the Nets a little confused. They really don't know what that guy Rivers wants to do!

The 76ers seemed very calm at this time. Well, indeed, because these guys are still busy planning how to rebuild, so no matter who becomes stronger in this region, it has nothing to do with them.

At least this season, the Philadelphians are determined to fight to the end, leaving two generals, no one can bear this matter, what Cheeks has to do now is to prepare for the Jedi counterattack next season.

As for whether the Philadelphians can counterattack successfully, it depends on what they can do in the summer, but after replacing Iverson and buying out Webber, few people are optimistic about the recovery next season.

New York really wants to make some small waves, but Dolan, who has taken advantage of it, is holding a checkbook and can't sign good players. Now most people really dare not easily enter the muddy water of the New York Knicks.

In addition, the secret battle between Marbury and Thomas is still going on, but it has basically become public. These two guys are almost carrying a pair of ak47s now.

The results of the Raptors have been very stable recently, but this also means that they have played a bit tepidly. Those who should win win, and those who should lose also lose. The results are stable, but they lack explosive points.

But for a guy like Michelle who was almost fired by the team at the beginning of the season, stability is the most important thing now!He doesn't want to continue to live in fear, and if he can make it to the playoffs, he is a victory!

In the Atlantic Division, it can be said that in the previous twenty games, they have been performing normally, but since the Celtics' hard work, everyone's rhythm seems to be a bit out of order.

Even the Nets, which have always been stable, seem to be affected by the Celtics. In the last three games, they have unexpectedly won one and lost two. This kind of ebb and flow is definitely not a good sign.

I thought that the Celtics after the trade would adjust for a period of time, at least they still need a running-in period between players, but those guys seem to have skipped this kind of running-in at all.

Skipping it completely, counting the game against the Grizzlies, these guys seem to have seamlessly integrated with the team in this wave of four consecutive victories, whether it is Sprewell or Novak.

It can be used as soon as it comes up without any running-in period. The result after such a transaction is not a situation that other competitors in the same district are willing to see.

Especially the old guy Sprewell, who thought that this troublemaker could bring trouble to Boston, but looking at it now, Angie spent 200 million US dollars to pick up a big bargain!

Not only was Frank a little stunned, but the reporters who were waiting to see the jokes or the fun were also a little embarrassed. Originally, they thought that it was absolutely impossible for Sprewell to play honestly.

But the facts proved that they were not only wrong, but also outrageously wrong. The old guy was not only playing seriously, but also playing very hard, even more ferocious than some great boys.

In four games, he averaged 13 points and 5 assists per game. This statistic does not look impressive, but in the eyes of New Jersey Nets head coach Frank, this kind of old fritter-like guy is the most terrifying existence.

Just like Kidd, the core leader of the Nets, an old guy like Sprewell is more valuable the older he is. That guy is not without talent, but his bad temper limits his achievements.

But now that there is a head coach like Rivers who dares to let him do whatever he wants, ordinary people really can't help this well-known neuropathy in the NBA.

Especially on defense, although Sprewell's scoring contribution is not much, and his number of shots is also very limited, but when he encounters the opponent's small forward or guard one-on-one, he is fierce.

According to statistics, this old guy has only four steals, but with his vicious close-to-press and his slickness when defending pick-and-rolls, the opponent's small forward is often entangled by him to death.

In addition, there are two evil stars inside the Celtics team, which is completely debilitating. In their four-game winning streak, how many times have the opponent entered the inside line, and then was slapped directly Shot to death.

Even if you can't shoot to death, it can make you terrified and dare not fight hard. At this time, you will either be double-teamed, or be intercepted by Rondo or Sprewell behind you.

Moreover, Rivers insisted on insisting on high-intensity confrontation in these few games, including in personnel rotation, he required the players to be able to bite the bullet and ruthlessly contain the opponent on the defensive end.

As for the offense, there are two animals playing hard on the inside, Pierce and Szczerbiak are playing on the outside, and Novak is allowed to go up for a stroll. Such a combination of inside and outside, the average team really can't stand it.

Contributing about three three-pointers per game, although Novak's role is not so prominent, this guy's shooting rate is so high, which really surprised many people.

A guy with an annual salary hovering at the bottom of the league was about to be thrown into the development league in Houston. As a result, this kid has become a very stable scoring point after such a change of place.

People move to live, trees move to die, Novak's performance once again proved the wisdom of this sentence, he is now playing in Boston like a fish in water, Rivers can completely let this kid play the basketball he is best at.

Looking back at the guy who was exchanged to Houston, Ryan Gomez hasn't even gotten even a minute of playing time. With McGrady, he can only sit on the bench temporarily.

Looking at the disparate performance of these two guys, I really don't know how the so-called wise Rockets general manager Morey would feel. Anyway, in the eyes of others, this deal is a big loss for Houston.

Frank is not in the mood to know whether others are losing or not, but he already has a sense of crisis. Although the Nets are still the leader in the Atlantic Division, the fierceness of Boston makes Frank feel the pressure.

Although the current Nets are no longer the team that reached the finals in a row in the past few years, the personnel changes here have taken away the original vigor. Frank himself knows that it is difficult to reproduce the glory.

But Frank still has the confidence to lead this team to start a bloodbath in the Eastern Conference playoffs. No matter who meets the Nets, they have to weigh the ability of this team.

With Carter, Kidd, Richard Jefferson and Eddie House, this lineup is extremely competitive no matter how you look at it, and most teams can't get any cheap when they meet them.

Although the current rival Celtics in the same district performed very well, in Frank's eyes, his team still has the ability to stop these Bostonians.

"Don't have any hesitation, even if this is their home court, I ask you to beat each other!"

Frank doesn't usually talk much, and this guy may have more communication with Kidd, but under the fierce pursuit of the Celtics, it is also very rare for him to make a mobilization before the game.

This is not only because of the recent two defeats, but also because Frank hopes to beat his opponent in the away game, so that in the collision at the beginning of the season, they maintained a double kill against the Celtics.

Once they collide in the playoffs, this kind of psychological advantage is self-evident. Frank absolutely does not want a recovering opponent to step on his head so smoothly!

Frank received a resounding response. With veterans like Kidd and Carter in the lineup, the Nets are confident even in away games.

However, their confidence, which is used to being the leader of the Atlantic Division, suffered a blow at the beginning of the game.

Originally, Frank's small calculations were also very good. He had watched the Celtics' recent games, so he knew that the offensive firepower of these guys was the most ferocious inside except for Pierce.

So it is very rare for him to play two big men, Krstic and Jason Collins. Both of these guys are [-] meters tall, and they can be regarded as pure coolie type large barriers in the interior. .

Frank doesn't expect these two guys to make any special contributions on the offensive end. He only needs to lock the Celtics' inside firepower when these two big men are at the basket.

The task of scoring was handed over to Carter and Richard Jefferson. In addition, there was Kidd's go-between. He had the experience of beating the Celtics at home for the first time. Frank hoped that Kidd could continue to seal Rondo.

But what Frank didn't expect was that the Nets successfully jumped the ball. As soon as Kidd controlled the basketball, Rondo took the initiative to post it. Although the old-fashioned Kidd managed to get rid of the entanglement, the speed was slowed down.

But with Carter as a forward attacking with the ball, Frank is not worried. He believes that the Canadian flying man has enough ways to deal with Tony Allen who is facing him.

Yes, Carter has the ability to get rid of it, and he did. The Canadian Flyer swayed away from Tony Allen's entanglement with a realistic fake and went straight to the basket.

Pushing the ground, flying into the air, drawing the bow, Carter's series of movements are smooth and intoxicating. This guy seems to have recovered the demeanor of the original slam dunk king, from the assault to the air, without any pause.

pretty!Frank really wanted to applaud such a breakthrough, but before his words could be squeezed out of his throat, he was choked back abruptly.

"Damn it!", Frank swears very rarely on the sidelines, and the applause just now turned into a curse in the blink of an eye.

There is no way not to do this, if he doesn't scold, Frank may be suffocated to death, because he just stood there and watched Carter, who was soaring into the air, being slapped viciously out of the baseline by an extremely brutal guy!

And that guy yelled as if he still couldn't get enough of it after landing, "I'll let you fly! How can you get up! Just how can you get me down!"

(Second, it’s not Black Carter, I also like him, but after leaving the Raptors, Carter can’t fly anymore, damn the injury, alas, I’m so sorry for him.)
