Chapter 242 Severe situation

"Everyone should know that our opponent in the next round will be the Chicago Bulls. This is a strong opponent. The situation we are facing is very severe." The day after the end of the first round, Rick Pitino said In the arena, he said to the Celtics very seriously.

"The Bulls have won two consecutive championships. Their goal is definitely to win three consecutive championships. For us, our only chance is that the Bulls underestimate the enemy, so we must try our best to play every game well. Every position of the Bulls, you guys I have prepared documents for the places that need attention, and you can take a look." With that, assistant coach Doc Rivers distributed a pile of paper documents in his hand.

Jonny is still very familiar with the Bulls. He probably read the document. What Jonny needs to pay attention to is Michael Jordan's offense on the one hand, and Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan's defense on him on the other. Jonny felt that this document was a bit of nonsense. Who didn't know to be wary of Michael Jordan, and who didn't know that the Bulls' two perimeter cores are very good in single defense?

So Johnny just took a rough look and was not interested.

But Jonny is quite worried about his teammates. Can Derek Coleman shoulder the burden of sharing Jonny's offensive pressure?Johnny has no confidence. Derek Coleman has to face Dennis Rodman's defense. You must know that this is not the regular season. In the playoffs, Dennis Rodman's defense will not be so careless.So what Derek Coleman is about to face will be a more difficult dilemma to face in the first round.

As for the other players, they won't play a big role in the game against the Bulls, and Jonny won't put his hopes on these players.

Johnny was a little helpless. It seemed that the predicament he was going to face this season was much more serious than last season. Last season, Jonny had teammates like Anfernee Hardaway and Dennis Scott to help him. The Walters, the only one Jonny can rely on is actually Derek Coleman.

Or Big Ben and Bruce Bowen can also be regarded as help, but facing a team like the Bulls, defenders like Bruce Bowen and Big Ben are not very useful. After all, they cannot let a player like Michael Jordan completely lose their status.And if they can't do that, the Celtics don't need them much.

In the morning, the Celtics chose a tactics meeting, and in the afternoon they began to practice specific tactics, such as the triangle tactics against the Bulls, and conducted special training on rotation defense, hosted by Doc Rivers.

The role of Doc Rivers joining the Celtics is revealed here. The Celtics do not have a complete defensive system, and it is not appropriate to make too many changes to the defense because they are preparing for the playoffs.And small adjustments like this in defense can show that Doc Rivers' skills are coming. At least Jonny feels that after such an improvement, the Celtics' overall defense is indeed a little more compact.

The afternoon training ended quickly, but after the training, Rick Pitino came to the arena again.

"Don't go back, everyone. Let's hold a meeting tonight and watch the video of the Bulls' first-round game. You go to the restaurant for dinner first, and come here to gather after dinner."

Obviously, the opponent in the next round made Rick Pitino attach great importance to it, and he was going to plan for every position of the Bulls overnight.

The Jonnys turned around and went to the team's restaurant on the second floor of the arena. After eating a very unpalatable nutritious meal, they hurried back to the first floor and entered the video room.In the video room, Rick Pitino and several other assistant coaches have adjusted the video recorder, and you can see the game video by inserting the video tape.The video room is a place where the coaches often come to. Jonny has played for the Celtics for a season, and it is the first time he has entered the video room.

Soon, the teammates had a good meal and came to the video room. Rick Pitino made a few requests and started the video.

"The game has already started. After the opening, we can see that the Bulls scored first. Let's take a look at their first goal." Because it is a self-recorded game video, there is no commentator's voice.And Rick Pitino also chose to explain the game himself, and he will explain every representative goal of the Bulls in detail.

And the first goal is a very representative goal.

"We can see that it's Scottie Pippen with the ball, he walks in, and with the help of Luke Longley's huge body, he shakes off Larry Johnson, and then he makes a little match with Michael Jordan, and finally puts the The ball went to Michael Jordan, and Michael Jordan, unstoppable, dunked."

"Actually, this is the triangle tactic. From this series of cooperation, what we can do is to keep an eye on our own people just like our previous arrangement. Our advantage is actually man-to-man defense. In this regard, we cannot Throw it."

Time passed quickly, and the Celtics watched the first game of the first round of the Bulls in the blink of an eye. Of course, Rick Pitino chose to fast-forward in some links, otherwise he could only watch one game in one night. games.

As soon as the second game started, some of the Celtics players in the audience couldn't help but let out exclamations.

"Wow! Why is the bull so strong?"

"It's completely unstoppable! How do you fight!?"

It turned out that at the beginning of the second game, the Bulls played a 25:6 super attack wave, which directly made the game lose suspense from the very beginning.In fact, the first game between the Bulls and the Knicks was still very intense, but the second game became a one-sided game.The Bulls seem to have entered the playoffs, and the game lost suspense at the beginning of the game.

Although the Celtics also played such a performance against the Hornets, everyone knows how dehydrated they are.First of all, the Hornets' defense is far inferior to that of the Knicks. Secondly, the Celtics can play such a wave of offense because of Jonny's full play.But the Bulls are different. In this wave of 25:6, Michael Jordan didn't exert much effort!

The gap can be described as huge. In the playoffs, every team has upgraded its offense and defense, and the Bulls are the best among them.The regular season only won games in the early 60s. For the Bulls, this is the lowest in three seasons. This also confuses many people, making many people think that the Bulls are dying. Our chance has come!
But in fact, Michael Jordan was hiding his clumsiness, and Scott Pippen was also hiding his clumsiness. In the playoffs, they immediately showed their fangs and exploded with unbelievable strength.

This bull is indeed very powerful.

Jonny in the crowd narrowed his eyes, the situation is very serious!
