Forward to the basket

In any case, Riley can be considered experienced in the NBA. Whether in terms of experience or personal ability, the gap between him and Rivers cannot be measured by a few championship rings .

If only to compare the abilities of two people, it is estimated that this is a standard joke to others.

No matter how hard Rivers works, his time in the NBA is still short. What he can accumulate is completely incomparable with a coach with a thousand victories. This comparison is not at the same level at all.

On-the-spot experience, commanding ability, these aspects of Rivers are juniors, regardless of whether it is a bit discouraging to say it, but this is the fact and nothing has to be changed.

Of course, Riley will definitely not say this to the outside world, because it will appear that he is relying on his old age, he only needs to rely on his results, one is the defending champion, and the other is a veteran team that has just come out of the downturn. The Celtics are ahead, but compared to recent results, the Heat are at least a few blocks away from Boston, and Riley's coaching level is also a few blocks away from Rivers.

Regarding this point, even Rivers himself admitted that he said very low-key before the game that he was completely incomparable with Riley. If it was a hard comparison, he would also be the loser.

As for whether the gap is there, it has nothing to do with whether Rivers will raise his hands and surrender.

That guy who looks like a meaty and honest person is definitely not so easy to provoke if he starts to be ruthless, not to mention that what this guy says and what he actually does can never be really synchronized.

Anyway, there is nothing wrong with showing that you respect the old and love the young in front of the media reporters. When it comes to the competition, everyone will rely on their own abilities. No one will give up the victory just because you are a senior.

That's what Rivers did, what he had to say, what he said, what he needed to do, and he didn't sit still, like now, he didn't let Riley have any easy time.

It was such a seemingly asymmetrical game, but because of Rivers' desperate situation, it turned into a speechless chaotic battle. This situation may not even have been imagined by Riley before the game.

Not to mention Riley, even Rivers himself didn't think it would be like this, it's messed up, it's him who messed up!

It's just a mess, there is no tit-for-tat tactical arrangement, it's just that both sides are fighting for the players' personal abilities, tactics?What kind of bullshit tactics are there to return him after he is beaten like this!

Anyway, Riley doesn't have much chance to use his wise brain and full of tactical thinking. If he wants to fight or not, he has to follow the rhythm of the Celtics.

This kind of feeling of being led by the nose is quite bad, and as the defending champion being dragged away like this, you can't expect Riley and his group of champion members to not be angry.

Pat Riley never thought that the game against the Celtics at home would be so difficult. Even if you maintain the lead, even if you only have an advantage of one or two points, you can provoke the opponent to fight you to the end.

The entire third quarter of the game was fought for 1 minutes in this fast-out-of-control rhythm, and the Heat's lead was reduced from six points to two points. The Celtics' counterattack was indeed fierce.

There is only one minute left in the game, but now the Heat fans are already panicking, even this is even more scary than the third game of last year's finals. This damn game makes everyone very nervous.

The Heat were forced to play at the pace of the Celtics, or in other words, they were dragged into a quagmire by the Bostonians. All agility and talent were all dead, and only hand-to-hand combat remained.

Anyway, the Celtics just keep their defenses firm, and then fight you a little bit. Even if they fail to score, these guys will show off their strength in front of you. tough.

Can't get inside?Can't kill the basket?It doesn't matter, because even if you can't play a one-stop attack directly, as long as the basketball collapses into the Heat's paint area, there will be a group of tough guys competing for the opportunity to charge again. This kind of unreasonable and violent style of play , has filled a whole section of the game.

These fierce Bostonians don't care whose territory it's in, they're used to playing wild, and they don't care about hearing the non-threatening boos?Even if there is, they will forcefully cut off that voice!

The fans of the Heat have learned to behave well now. They dare not cheer easily, because their shouts have been cut off by the bandits of the Celtics several times. It was really cut off abruptly. .

Originally, he opened his mouth wide and wanted to yell, but before he could make a sound, the situation on the court over there was reversed. It is estimated that few people want to enjoy this embarrassing situation again.

Even the DJ at the scene forgot who he should speak for. He could only follow the situation on the court to explain in the tense atmosphere of the game, completely ignoring the key issue of who is the home team.

Not only him, but even the fans and players at the scene have almost blurred the boundaries between home and away. This game was too fierce. Everyone's attention was only on the hot confrontation on the field.

Some people even forgot to take the time to look at the score, because you really couldn't bear to take your eyes off the game. The hot confrontation and fierce fighting made people feel a little suffocated.

For a moment, Riley even had an illusion, he really wanted to know, is this the regular season or the playoffs?Why would those Bostonians make an ordinary regular season so intense.

It was not only fierce, it could be said to be full of gunpowder. In the third quarter, just in the [-] minutes of the third quarter, the Celtics had nine fouls, and all of them were at the basket!

The number of fouls in the previous two quarters combined was not as much as this one. From this, one can imagine how fierce and intense this damn game was played in these twelve minutes.

If it’s just Jefferson and Perkins who fouled, it’s fine, but even Pierce and Rondo ran to the basket to join in the fun, which made Riley a little bit unbearable, and he kept complaining to the referee .

This is not some coaching experience, nor is Riley using his reputation as a coach of thousands of wins to interfere with the referee's law enforcement standards. It's just that this old guy really can't stand the Celtics' tough style of play.

What is this doing?Riley really wanted to ask someone, he really started to doubt, did he kill Rivers in his previous life?Or is there any deep hatred between each other that cannot be solved?

Could it be that I am Hitler and this guy is Stalin?Do you have to be so stubborn?Riley is really angry now but has no place to vent it, because he doesn't know how to complain about it.

Therefore, he can't do anything other than find the referee to express his dissatisfaction, unless he is now dizzy and scolds Rivers, but what can this change?Can that fierce competition be stopped?

If possible, Riley would probably not hesitate to do so, because this game is almost out of the control of two people. They are the head coaches, which is true, but the decision-making power is not in their hands.

Those ten guys who are fighting on the field are the focus of everyone's attention. Only they can finally decide where this damn game will go, win?Then you really have to ask God that old guy.

It's no wonder that Riley is so hot, after all, no one can bear such an extremely messy scene.

This game has completely lost the sense of smoothness it should have. The old man Stein will definitely not like this kind of game, because it has nothing but toughness, fouls, and frequent hand-to-hand combat.

Everyone even has an illusion that such a game should have appeared in the early 90s, because at that time, people were used to using their strong muscles to fight anyone hand-to-hand, as long as he could see it.

There is no aesthetically pleasing offense, and even Wade has to lay down and try to control the basketball in his hands.

The Celtics have done even better. Pierce has been lying on the floor and fighting for the ball at least twice in this quarter. Now the team leader like him has completely put down his body and started to play tough. .

This is probably the main reason why Rivers let Pierce continue to be the soul of the team. This guy will not start to lower his requirements just because he is the boss. He will only fight harder on the court.

Even Auerbach said that the current Celtics need a stable and experienced helmsman who can play the role of a leader in the locker room and lead the entire team forward.

Although Pierce is not the kind of guy who is absolutely tough and very controlling, the professionalism he showed on the court is enough for Rivers to trust him, and he did not do badly.

Even if it was Chen Feng who was a thorn in the side that ordinary people couldn't subdue, it was because he was the boss and rarely caused trouble in the team. This was not because of fear, but because everyone could see that Pierce was very caring.

To fight to the end with the defending champions like the Heat, everyone needs a backbone. In addition to tactics, they also need such a spiritual leader on the court. At least with him, there will be a clear signal that every Everyone has to work hard, and the boss is working hard, are you still planning to stay by the side and stay out of it?

Therefore, when Pierce began to lie on the floor and fight for every ball, Rivers would not worry about who else would be lazy around him. Those wild boys would definitely fight for every ball with their lives.

Not only did they fight hard enough, but when they fouled, these guys also had a scramble for the first place. Even Pierce and Rondo had already reached the basket and blocked their opponents fiercely.

When Rondo dared to volley and drag Haslem to the floor, you have to understand one thing, that is, the Celtics must have gone mad collectively, otherwise they would not have acted so fiercely .

And those fouls are indeed the reason why Riley is so angry, and it's no wonder the old guy is so violent.

After all, he was standing on the sidelines, watching Haslem being thrown onto the floor by Rondo's slap. Before more than ten seconds had passed, the guy who was fighting for the rebound was sent flying by Chen Feng again. up.

The most terrible thing is that the referee didn't think it was a foul, he didn't blow the whistle on Chen Feng, which made Riley a little bit calm, even if he is such an old guy who usually looks like a gentleman, he also started to attack the referee Yelling, I can only say that the referee didn't care too much about him, otherwise he would have committed a technical foul.

However, Riley's yelling did not change anything, and the fierce defense that should have appeared still appeared on the court.

What happened to O'Neill over there was no luck at all. Two red palm prints had been left on his originally thick arm, which were all caused by Chen Feng. Those two blocked shots were ruthless enough. of.

That kid is really good at attacking, even if he can't cover the ball, he still has to slap the opponent with lingering fear.

Even if he was facing a fierce opponent like O'Neill, that kid would dare to fight head-on and ruthlessly when he met head-on. This kind of ruthless style made Riley complain on the sidelines.

"Technical foul!", Riley has said this to the referee more than once, but the response he got was a verbal warning from the referee. After all, the referee doesn't care whether you are a Qiansheng coach or not.

What they need is relative independence. There is nothing wrong with Chen Feng's fouls, and he blows up everything that should be blown up, but his strikes were aimed at blocking shots, and he didn't deliberately hurt anyone, so Riley's appeal was useless.

Even though O'Neill's arm was slapped, these referees still maintained this attitude.

This makes Riley very upset. After all, this is his home court, they are playing at the door of their home, and the opponent's defensive scale is so big, he has no reason not to protest for the players.

But Riley's protest couldn't change the order on the scene. The game was still a mess. The Heat didn't want this kind of chaos, but the Celtics just dragged them to fight with themselves in a mess.

This makes Riley, who has been calm all the time, completely unable to sit still. There is one minute left in the third quarter, and he doesn't want any reversal of this damn game.

Riley didn't even care about the style of his usual suit and leather shoes. Although the back of his hair didn't feel messy, he definitely couldn't look chic when he was so angry.

As for the Armani suit, it is not as spotless as it was at the beginning. Riley has already unbuttoned it, and just stood on the sidelines, yelling at the players on the field.

It is estimated that the most annoying reason for Riley is not because the opponent played so unscrupulously on his own territory, but because the bald boy once again became a big problem for the Heat.

Rivers dared to arrange so many big men and powerful guards under the basket to guard the paint area. Not only did he cause trouble for O'Neal, but he also didn't forget to try his best to hold the score from further expansion.

Originally, Riley ambushed the pitchers on the outside to break this deadlock, but what the old guy didn't expect was that Rivers dared to hit such a limit because he had a good card in his hand.

Rivers never expected to use Chen Feng to completely limit the Heat's perimeter, but as he himself said, once the beast starts to surge, all kinds of possibilities will appear.

For example...he was able to slap Kapono's hand so fiercely and fiercely. This is really not a joke. Riley's side can be so angry because of this, that old guy is going to die of fire.

In fact, Kapono has always shot very steadily. Although his athletic ability is not strong, he is just a very pure spot-up shooter, but this guy's three-pointers are still very reliable.

But it was such a three-point shooter who was valued by Riley, who was frightened by a fierce guy. Kapono told the truth, this game is still unplayable!

Have you ever seen a big guy who is more than two meters tall and jumps on you for nothing?It's fine for that guy to pounce, and every time he pounces over, he still waved his big slap horizontally and vertically to block it!

Originally, the experience of being blocked once was enough to cast Kapono's shadow for a long time, but Payton was a little annoyed at being entangled there, and he could only find space for Kapono to pass the ball.

This time it's great, Kapono finally got a shooting opportunity that he didn't usually have. Similarly, he instantly turned into a master of hatred. Chen Feng, such a big boss, kept his eyes on him.

This made Kapono feel melancholy. He had already moved around frequently enough, but he still couldn't get rid of the lunatic who followed him everywhere. Every time he got the ball, there was a large shadow over there.

It's not that Kapono has never tried a rush shot, but he made two shots with the same result. Either he was reached by Chen Feng's fingertips, or because the shot was too hasty, the basketball tragically knocked out of the basket.

Anyway, in the first 5 minutes of the third quarter, he had at least six shots, but he didn't make a single shot. In the second quarter, the feeling of making three out of three shots was completely gone.

Not to mention that his hands were cold, but his heart was trembling violently. Anyway, even Riley was a little desperate after a few minutes, and he could only replace this frightened guy from the field.

But as soon as Walker's unreliable guy came on the court, Riley regretted it a bit, although he told Walker thousands of times on the sidelines that he must keep running and don't wait for the ball to catch the ball.

But who can really make a run for a guy who's sworn to be a spot-up shooter?Even if other people's big slaps have already slapped him in front of his eyes, this guy can still strike so calmly.

Of course, when he watched the basketball being blown away, his eyes were also very calm, except for a little dazed.

Walker was still in a daze, he didn't even turn around to chase the basketball, but Chen Feng had already started it, and Rondo grabbed the first spot of the basketball and got the ball, his center of gravity was gone, but this It didn't take long for him to throw the ball vigorously, and then fell heavily into the crowd.

Payton didn't even have time to block his pass, and the thrown basketball was thrown in a straight line towards the Heat's half court, where there was only Haslem returning to defense, and a wild and windy big guy. With both hands firmly grasping the basketball, stepping on the line of the three-second zone, Chen Feng is soaring through a person!

"Prevent him!" This was Riley's last roar, but his voice failed to instill any true energy into Haslem, making the guy instantly tall or domineering and blowing Chen Feng away.

Haslem's defensive speed is fast enough, but his retreat can only be a background in the end, a background that raises his hands under the basket but can only look up at the opponent's background, which is unlucky but harmonious.

When Chen Feng desperately dragged the basket and ravaged the heart of the Miami people, the first thing this tough guy did after he landed was not to beat his chest and growl, but to roar at Riley.

"You bastard, shut up! Did you see that! I've evened the score!"

Fierce, wild, and extremely ferocious, perhaps this moment is the one that can shake Riley's tough heart the most.
