Center first

Chapter 428 Crazy or provocative?

No matter how crazy the hustle and bustle is before the game, the basketball game will eventually be decided on the court. There is already a bit of hostility between the two cities of Miami and Boston. Their first meeting will come after all. For many spectators This is just an ordinary regular season, but for the two teams, this may be a game for the league's No. [-] spot, at least not on the Celtics side. As an ordinary regular season, Rivers was even more silent before the game. He would not talk to anyone about anything about the game.

However, the Celtics have raised this confrontation to a very high level. They can use the personal time of the Big Three and Rivers to invite Rasheed Wallace to join them this summer. At that glorious moment a season ago, they were not willing to fall behind again in such a fierce Eastern frenzy. They even took the risk of paying the luxury tax to keep most of the main players. Only by maintaining a stable team can they Can have a strong competitiveness, these old guys do, at least for the first seventeen games.

These crazy Celtics did express their desire to dominate the East with a series of victories at the beginning of the season. At least they won the upper hand in the confrontation with the two top teams. The Cavaliers fell off the horse cleanly. This kind of victory will undoubtedly drive the Bostonians into a frenzy, especially the control provided by the four giants, which makes them look forward to the championship again. These Bostonians like to see this kind of In a game of dominance, they prefer to see their biggest competitor in the East fall at their feet.

While that Shark has yet to show up in Cleveland, which leaves doubts for future confrontations, no one will deny that the Celtics completely took the initiative in the first confrontation, especially Rasheed. Wallace and Garnett's ability to control the basket almost locked the Cavaliers' inside offensive footsteps. Even the little emperor's breakthrough footsteps seemed a little weak in front of these two guys, let alone Varejao and The two guys, Big Z, have completely retreated in the matchup. The opponent's failure is his own victory. This also gave hope to those Boston fans who lost to the Magic in the playoffs for the Celtics last season. , these two big men will definitely make that monster bow its head obediently.

And when the Celtics killed their biggest opponent, the Los Angeles Lakers, at their home court, it simply raised Bostonians' expectations for the Celtics to a higher level. They killed last season's championship. In addition to those annoying purple and gold teams, these fans have every reason to believe that their team will win the final championship by defeating all opponents like the previous season. Now I am afraid that this has become the obsession of Bostonians. This is the arrival of another Celtic dynasty, but the giants look a little old.

Rivers can feel how urgent the expectations of the fans are, which has become his motivation to keep moving forward, but another way of saying is that this can also be said to be a powerful invisible pressure. The honor is too dazzling. The greatest team has been born here. Whether he can continue that glory is the biggest test of his personal coaching ability, especially the opponent who is going to kill him now. The decisive battle atmosphere created by public opinion , has already given him a kind of pressure to win the opponent. If he loses, he may be greeted with overwhelming criticism.

No way, this is the attitude of Bostonians towards basketball. All they want is victory. Failure is something that will never be forgiven. The only exception is Auerbach. Other than that, no one will enjoy that kind of worship Respect like a god, because this city has won too many honors, they have had a fatal low period, so when they win a turning point, they will take victory more seriously, and their extravagant hopes for victory will make them A little more greedy, which is one of the main reasons why Rivers chose to shut up before the start of the game. He didn't want anyone to catch him, but he would not stop his preparations. After all, the league ranked No. Yihe's winning streak was too attractive for him to refuse.

Lin Yi, Rivers was sitting in his office watching the video on the TV screen, and kept tapping on the name on his desk. He knew the guy in the Miami Heat who needed to be studied by him the most. Who is it, because of the existence of this big man in the Miami Heat, they were caught off guard by the Heat in the regular season last season, especially in the final stage of the closing battle, this kid almost used offense Defeating Garnett's defense head-on, that may be a confrontation that "Wolf King" Garnett will never forget in his life. Although the kid didn't finish the game, he has already used his big hands to fight for Boston. People were impressed.

I really don’t know if Lin Yi hadn’t been injured and left the field in that game, who else in the entire Celtics team could control this guy’s offensive desire, especially his super controlling desire at the basket, River Now even sometimes suddenly fear, after such a confrontation, whether Garnett's continued downturn is caused by the loss after confronting that kid, after all, in the peak confrontation at the basket, Garnett For the first time, Te was completely at a disadvantage. Except for the tit-for-tat confrontation in the opening stage, he almost passively endured Lin Yi's violent impact.

No one will know what Garnett is thinking in his heart, but everyone can see that after being challenged by Lin Yi and Howard in succession, the wolf king who once roared has gradually become silent, especially in the field of losing and magic. During the team's playoffs, his back looked a little hunched when he left the field with his head down, but this wild guy would not accept the result of failure reconciled, so Garnett invited his own team in the summer That old friend Rasheed Wallace came to Boston, the Wolf King has not given up the desire to win, but he is indeed old, this is undeniable.

Absolute control of rebounding, calm analysis of the situation on the field, restraint of never blindly shooting, and organizational ability of internal and external connections. Watching Lin Yi's game video, Rivers is really jealous of the Filipino and Miami. The Heat, why do they have such a perfect guy, especially the guy's age, he is only 20 years old, he is now like a sponge, absorbing the experience on the basketball court, never stopping to let himself Quick maturing footwork, that's a headache guy, last season was, this season even more so.

The game screens played back and forth on the TV are clips from more than a dozen recent Heat games. Watching Lin Yi criss-crossing the basket, Rivers felt a dull pain on his forehead. The aggressiveness and aggressiveness of that guy His ability is even crazier than last season, especially in rebounding, he has become like a hungry beast, always chasing the orange basketball, as if every lost rebound is a survival Opportunities are ordinary, and his wide palms will always grasp such opportunities tightly, this terrifying guy.

Be sure to firmly control the opponent's inside offense. This may be the arrangement that every team will make before playing against the Miami Heat, but few people or teams will do that as they wish. The big guy with the heat jersey number 34 rarely gives anyone a chance to control himself, he is so smart, so smart that all opponents hate to touch this guy, no one wants to play against such a devilish guy , Now Rivers also feels this way, he really hopes that the kid will choose to sit on the bench again because of the injury, instead of letting himself spend so much brain cells to find a way to prevent him, maybe what he can do is Crowding the rim and keeping that kid from moving.

Maybe who would know how that kid wants to play the game and score?assist?involve?High pick and roll?Damn, why does that kid have so many offensive methods, and he is so skillful in each of them!Now looking at the score-grabbing guy on the TV screen, Rivers' head is already big. Now he can only pray to God to make Lin Yi disappear quickly. He would rather live 20 years less, or even more.

Rivers no longer expects to use "Wolf King" Garnett to completely prevent Lin Yi by himself, because the confrontation between the two of them last season has already explained a lot of things. After all, the Wolf King is old. The elastic legs are also gradually losing their power, but his opponent is still very young, so young that Garnett will be jealous in private. Age and physical reasons do not allow Garnett to carry the opponent alone for 10 minutes. If they don't want Garnett to be too embarrassed, they can only choose to use a double-team defense under the basket. Maybe this is the only way.

Now that the double-teaming tactic has been decided, who will the executor arrange, Garnett and Perkins?Or Garnett to cooperate with others to execute, this is really a headache multiple choice question, Rivers fell into meditation in his office, he is really about to hate that Miami kid now, this may be his For the first time since the start of the regular season, I'm in trouble, and this trouble is because of one person, that big man who is a nightmare at the basket, that damn Miami totem, and that guy who is coming to Boston .

Spoelstra, by contrast, didn't have Rivers' troubles. He didn't even send his team to Boston to get used to the venue in advance. The guy didn't board the plane until the day before the game. After landing, he just arranged for the players to adjust their tired bodies in the hotel gym. As for training with the ball on the basketball court, he didn't plan to arrange it at all, because this cunning Filipino didn't want those Bostonians The booing of the team affected the good mood of myself and the players, and proper relaxation before the game may be more conducive to such a tense atmosphere.

But this guy did not refuse the harassment from the media. He even set aside a special time to face the torture of the Boston media, but this guy's mouth always looks so sharp. For the first time in the interview, he expressed his dissatisfaction very clearly. The desire to win in Boston, and he specifically pointed out that the Miami Heat he led came here not prepared to accept defeat. Since they came, they came here for victory. A possible opponent in the future playoffs, they must first grasp the psychological advantage.

This is a very straightforward and even blatantly provocative behavior. Spoelstra didn't save any face for these Bostonians. He uttered bold words to the camera to win the game, and he didn't care about the eyes of those reporters. Whether it's friendly or not, it doesn't matter how crazy the boos will be in tomorrow's game. Now he just wants to let his opponent understand what the Miami Heat are here for. They are not a tourist group here. They are rushing to kill The Celtics are here, and they must kill them at the opponent's home court. They just want to bring down the league's No. [-] team.

"Okay, now they are under more pressure. If we shout the slogan that we must win the game, they will not be able to afford to lose. After all, this is their territory. They must not be able to afford to lose. Anyway, we It doesn't matter, and I don't care, at most, I will be laughed at by these Bostonians after losing the game, but I don't think you will treat me like that, right?" Spoelstra said to the Bostonians After the provocation was over, he closed the door of the hotel conference room and said to his team members that this guy's shameless face was once again seen by all members of the Heat team.

"Boss, you have to believe that we will." Wade and Lin said almost in unison.

"Uh...you two bastards." At this time, the Filipino realized that he was not the only one who was shameless in this team. This team was very shameless, especially the two guys in front of him. He found that he really didn't have much advantage in making troubles, because no one in this conference room was a kind person. There was no way, who made the Miami Heat team a concentration camp of scum.

The embarrassment of the Filipino filled his room with the laughter of these big men. These big men are very relaxed now. These Miami people do not have the tense atmosphere before the war. Said that those Bostonians are just an opponent, just a hurdle they are going to overcome. If they want to win the championship, they must overcome these obstacles. It's a good idea for the Specials to be No. [-] in the league, isn't it?

Not many Bostonians were interested in what these guys on the Heat thought, but Spoelstra's desire for victory had already made those Bostonians feel uncomfortable, especially after that interview aired. Numerous Celtics diehards began to yell frantically. They must greet the arrogant Filipino with the loudest boos at their home court, and let him know what a hellish Boston is.

The Filipino's remarks about the team's victory have been regarded by these people as the most straightforward declaration of war. They will definitely let this guy know what is called the horror of the Boston Dynasty. The official forum of the Celtics has almost been violent. The fans were packed, and they expressed their anger one after another. They strongly urged Rivers to teach this guy who has just been in the NBA for two years a lesson, and he must let him know how good the Celtics are. He knows what it means to respect history. The Celtic dynasty supported by 17 championship trophies cannot be insulted by you, a country bumpkin. You will get revenge from the entire Boston, and you will pay the price for your frivolous remarks.

Spoelstra didn't have time to deal with such saliva attacks, until he led the team to the TD North Bank Garden Arena for pre-match warm-up, he finally experienced what is called the precipitation of history, because those Crazy Boston fans wore all kinds of retro jerseys, showing the deep heritage of their team, and they roared loudly at the Filipinos with all kinds of sharp voices.

"Is today an old things fair? Why are these people shouting like I stepped on their tails?" Spoelstra didn't care too much about these crazy fans. What he needed was such a crazy scene. The more manic his emotions are, the better news for him, but he will not spare anyone, including those fans, this guy looks at nearly 2 fans, and puts a slap on the corner of his mouth. With a playful smile, he seemed to be looking forward to this welcome scene, and he would continue to irritate these people until they completely lost their minds.

And this guy who was booed did the same. When he followed the players back to the locker room for the first time, the starting five list that this guy shouted out will definitely make those Celtics who are on the verge of breaking out The fans of the team went crazy, this Filipino is really insulting this city that has won 17 championships, because this guy named the starting five: "Lin Yi, Ben Wallace, Bruce Bowen, Raja Bell and Bunch Wells", Wade and Millsap are still placed on the bench by the Filipinos.

"Use your performance to make those guys crazy. Here, on their territory, I want you to be crazy, even contempt, despise their past honor, remember, we will also fight with those great Like a guy, holding a trophy to be worshiped by others, so what we have to do here today is not to respect, but to destroy, and use a former dynasty to ignite our glory for us. I think there is no better thing than this. Seventeen consecutive victories, and they already have seventeen championships, so today will be the end of everything, here, made by you, the dynasty begins to build here, the road to victory is paved with the blood of others, this night , I need your madness!"

Spoelstra stood on the sidelines and thought about what he had just said in the locker room. He enjoyed the wild boos of nearly 2 people, is he arrogant?Yes, what the Miami Heat need is a wild burst.provocative?That's right, what Miami people want is to step on the heads of you former kings and embark on your own championship road! come on! ! !Come on, let's see who is stronger! ! !

(Poor Wade, you better get out of Miami, I've seen you fighting alone all game, the only one who can help you is Chalmers, the lonely Flash... alas... Let's watch the matchup between the Cavaliers and Celtics...)
