Chapter 179 I let you fly!
The Celtics' winning streak may not be a strange thing in the eyes of those strong teams. Who has not yet a record of winning streak? The Bulls were able to play a 72-10 win at the beginning!
They only had four consecutive victories. In addition to their average opponent's strength, these guys won these four games not so easy. Putting aside the Grizzlies' collapse, the other three games were entangled until the last quarter.
At least the things reflected in the data give others the impression that it is. After all, NBA has several games a day, and not many people focus on the Celtics.
However, for competitors in the same region, the Celtics' fierce sprint 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, no matter who becomes stronger in this area, it has nothing to do with them.
At least this season, the Phillies have decided to play the game to the end. After leaving two generals, no one can stand this matter. What Chicks has to do now is to prepare for a Jedi counterattack next season.
As for whether the Phillies can successfully counterattack, it depends on what they can do in the summer. However, after changing to Iverson and buying out Webber, few people are optimistic about the recovery next season.
New York is determined to make some small waves, but Dolan's sucker is now holding a checkbook and cannot sign a good player. Now most people really dare not rush to the muddy waters of the New York Knicks easily.
In addition, the secret battle between Marbury and Thomas is still going on, but it has basically been made public. These two guys are almost always squirting each other with an AK47 pair.
The Raptors' performance has been very stable recently, but this also means that they are playing a little tepid. They win what should be won, and they lose what should be lost. The results are stable, but there is a lack of burst points.
But for a guy like Michelle who was almost fired by the team at the beginning of the season, stability is now overwhelming! He doesn’t want to continue living a nervous life. Being able to make the playoffs is victory!
It can be said that the Atlantic Division has always performed in the past twenty games in the first game, but from the Celtics' fierceness, everyone's rhythm seems to be a bit messy.
Even the Nets, which have always performed stably, seem to have been influenced by the Celtics. They have unexpectedly won and lost in their last three games. This rise and fall is definitely not a good sign.
I originally thought that the Celtics who had traded would adjust for a while, at least they would need a running-in period between players, but those guys seemed to have skipped this running-in at all.
Skip completely, including the game against the Grizzlies, these guys seem to be flawless in this four-game winning streak, whether it is Spreville or Nowak.
It can be used without any rusty period of running-in. The result after such a transaction is not something that other competitors in the same region are happy to see.
Especially the old guy Spreville, I thought this troublemaker could bring trouble to Boston, but now I see that Angie spent two million dollars to get a big bargain!
Not only Frank was a little surprised, but the reporters who were waiting to watch jokes or watching the fun were also a little embarrassed. They originally thought that Spreville would never be able to play basketball honestly.
But facts proved that they were not only wrong, but also outrageously wrong. The old guy was not only playing basketball seriously, but also playing very hard, even more fierce than some good guys.
In four games, he averaged 13 points and 5 assists per game. This data doesn't look eye-catching, but in the eyes of New Jersey Nets head coach Frank, this kind of old-fashioned guy is the most terrifying existence.
Just like Kidd, the core leader of the Nets, an old guy like Spreville is the older he is, the more valuable he is. It’s not that guy has no talent, but his bad temper limits his achievements.
However, now with Rivers, a head coach who dares to let him go, ordinary people can't do anything to this crazy person who is famous in the NBA.
Especially in defense, although Spreville's scoring contributions were not much and his shots were limited, he was so fierce when he met the opponent's small forward or defender one-on-one.
The old guy only has four times intercepted the ball, but the fierceness of pressing close to the body, coupled with his slipperyness when defending the pick-and-roll, the opponent's small forward is often entangled by him.
In addition, there are two evil stars in the Celtics' inside line, which is completely unavailable. In their four-game winning streak, how many times did the opponent enter the inside line and then be slapped to death.
Even if you can't kill the film, you can still be frightened and dare not force yourself. At this time, you are either double-teamed or intercepted by Rondo or Spreville behind you.
Moreover, Rivers insisted on high-intensity confrontation in these games, including in personnel rotation, he required the players to be able to grit their teeth and curb their opponents on the defensive end.
As for offense, there were two animals who played hard on the inside, and Pierce and Szebiak were put on the outside, and Novak was allowed to go upstairs and stroll. Such an internal and external combination is really unbearable for ordinary teams.
Although Novak's role is not so outstanding, this guy's shooting percentage has really surprised many people.
A guy who was lingering at the bottom of the league in Houston was almost thrown into the Development League. As a result, after changing places, this kid became a very stable scoring point.
When a man moves to live, a tree moves to die, Nowak's performance once again proves the wisdom of this sentence. He is now like a fish in water in Boston, and Rivers can completely let this kid play the basketball he is best at.
When he turned around and looked at the guy who was exchanged to Houston, Ryan Gomez hadn't even gotten a minute of playing time. With McGrady there, he could only sit on the bench for the time being.
Looking at the different performances of these two guys, I really don’t know what the Rockets general manager Morey, who is known as the wise, would feel. Anyway, in the eyes of others, Houston has suffered a huge loss.
Others are not in the mood to know whether Frank loses or not, but he already feels a little bit of a crisis. Although the Nets are still the boss in the Atlantic Division, Boston's ruthlessness makes Frank feel pressure.
Although the Nets are no longer the team that has reached the finals in a few years, the personnel change here has taken away the original vigor and vitality, Frank himself also knows that it is difficult to reappear.
But Frank is still sure to lead this team to set off a bloody storm in the Eastern Conference playoffs. No matter who encounters the Nets, he has to consider the abilities of this team.
There are Carter, Kidd, Richard Jefferson and Eddie House. No matter how you look at this lineup, it is extremely competitive. Ordinary teams can't get any advantage when they meet them.
Although his current opponent in the same zone is very good, in Frank's eyes, his team is still capable of stopping these Bostonians.
"Don't hesitate, even if this is at their home court, I ask you to defeat the other party!"
Frank usually talks very little, so this guy may have communicated more with Kidd, but under the fierce pursuit of the Celtics, he was very rare to mobilize before the game.
This is not only because of two recent defeats, but also because Frank hopes to defeat his opponent away, so that they maintain a double kill against the Celtics in the collision at the beginning of the season.
Once they bump into the playoffs, this psychological advantage goes without saying. Frank definitely doesn't want a recovering opponent to step on his head so smoothly!
Frank received a loud response, with veterans like Kidd and Carter, and the Nets were confident even when they were away.
However, their confidence that they are used to being the boss of the Atlantic Division was hit at the beginning.
Originally, Frank's little abacus was also very good. He had watched the Celtics' recent games, so he knew that these guys' offensive firepower was the most fierce inside, except Pierce.
So he rarely got two big men, Kelstic and Jason Collins. Both guys are two meters tall and thirteen meters tall. They are considered to be a pure coolie-type large barrier in the inside.
Frank didn't expect these two guys to make any special contribution on the offensive end. He just needed to lock the Celtics' inside firepower at the basket with these two big men.
The scoring task was handed over to Carter and Richard Jefferson, and Kidd's threading needles and had the experience of defeating the Celtics at home for the first time. Frank hoped that Kidd would continue to block 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 stick it up. Although Kidd tried to get rid of the entanglement, his speed was slowed down.
But Frank is not worried about having a vanguard like Carter who takes the ball and attacks. He believes that the Canadian Flyingman has enough ways to deal with Tony Allen who faces him.
Yes, Carter has the ability to get rid of it, and he did it, the Canadian Flyingman shook away Tony Allen's entanglement with a realistic fake move and rushed straight to the basket.
The movements of kicking the ground, flying in the air, opening the bow, and Carter were all so smooth that it was intoxicating. This guy seemed to have regained his original style as a slam dunk king, from assault to flying in the air, without any pause.
Beautiful! Frank really wanted to applaud such a breakthrough, but before he could squeeze out his throat, he was forced to hold it back.
"Damn it!" Frank swears on the sidelines very rarely, and the cheer just now turned into a curse from him.
There is no way to do this. If you don’t scold me, Frank might have been suffocated to death, because he was watching Carter who was flying into the air on the sidelines by a very savage guy!
After landing, the guy still yelled wildly, "I let you fly! How do you go up! How do you fuck you down!"
(The second update is not black Carter, I like him very much, but after the Raptors left, Carter couldn't fly anymore. Damn injuries, alas, I'm very pitiful.)
