Chapter 360 The sense of existence that cannot be ignored
Updated: 2013-01-05
The speculation from the outside world is actually not without reason. Although Chen Feng does not play much, his score is indeed nearly 4 points less than last season's data and 3 fewer shots in the same time.
Most of the time, this kid doesn't just take root in the inside line as before, but roam more.
Therefore, Chen Feng's number of shots at the basket dropped sharply, but he was attacking head-on, and he was indeed very fierce.
However, the further away from the basket, the lower the offensive success rate. This is what everyone understands. Chen Feng's offense is no exception. Although his mid-range shooting is much more accurate than last season, the attack with extremely aggressiveness at the basket cannot be compensated by just a few mid-range shots, and the efficiency is naturally not high.
However, in rebounding, Chen Feng's data has increased significantly, and he has also added one block. In terms of performances such as defense and pick-and-roll, he seems much more professional than last season.
Especially in the backup defense after pick-and-roll, his horizontal interception ability often forces the opponent to cut into the inside as soon as possible after the pick-and-roll is successful, and then directly threatens the basket.
After several games, all the little guys who tried to cut into the basket and caused trouble were intercepted by a big guy like Chen Feng several times. The bald man who came out of the thorn was not a little deterrent.
Only when you are knocked away by this guy can you understand how lethal the powerful power is.
Anyway, those who have tried it once will never think of that painful experience again. This defensive intensity is even more ruthless than those old guys Kassel. It is really the fatal consequence of directly slapping you away.
For those professionals, this means that a person's technical and tactical awareness is taking shape, especially in the choice of fill-up and positioning, which can cause trouble for opponents' breakthroughs and is conducive to the entire defensive formation.
But fans would rather see Chen Feng's wild slam dunk and fierce impact. Those things are just for them to enjoy, although the Celtics have never been the kind of showtime performance team.
But there are still more people who like to see the team burst into dazzling passion, especially that boy Chen Feng.
Only with him can the team play a big game, and only with him can the atmosphere of the entire North Shore Garden Arena bursting!
However, Rivers seems to have not planned to leave any privileges for Chen Feng in the inside line recently, how to play, and how to play. Garnett's mobile phones will be significantly more, and the attack at the basket also uses the "Wolf King" as the main firepower point.
Chen Feng's scoring data also seemed a bit dull, and even Weber could easily surpass him.
The only thing he can do recently is rebounding. Whether it is offensive rebounding or defensive rebounding, this kid is simply a stance to cover up the sky. Whoever dares to compete with him is completely looking for death.
In that game against the Nets, Chen Feng snatched six frontcourt rebounds under the attack of Kidd and Jefferson, and all turned into scores. The lethality under the basket was simply surprising.
But compared to the crazy spirit of the regular season and playoffs last season, Chen Feng can now be considered silent. Even at home in Boston, he rarely shows that violent impact.
Most of the time, Garnett and Pierce dominate the offense, while Chen Feng is still standing at the basket to block his opponent's cut to the basket, which has led to his average fouls per game rising sharply.
Murphy, including me, was speculating whether this kid followed Rivers' arrangements and began to cover Garnett's main attack, and then he spent more time protecting the penalty area and fulfilling Jefferson's original duties.
Last season, Jefferson spent most of his time as a cover, and Chen Feng was the assaulter. After the fat guy left, it was Garnett and Chen Feng’s turn to partner in the inside. That’s how the division of labor was decided?
Not only Murphy has this kind of doubt, but Xie Miaomiao, as a full-time reporter who personally reports on Chen Feng, is also a little unsure. Is this the arrangement of Rivers or Garnett because of this?
In fact, many media reporters are waiting for the Celtics to break out in some conflicts. The battle between new and old players in positions is definitely the highlight. Last season's main players were able to retain several starters, which is an unknown number.
According to Rivers' previous tactical adjustments, everyone was a little confused. Should they focus on new players or old teams? There is no general idea in the first few games of the preseason.
But many people prefer the former. After all, Garnett and Ray Allen's performance in the preseason was very eye-catching, and these two old guys had no choice but to take on the task of taking on the main attack.
Especially Garnett's attacking firepower in the inside, although many Celtic fans still miss Jefferson's fat man, but as soon as Garnett joined the team, he performed very strongly in the offense.
This guy was originally a very hot temper. Once he succeeded in the field, his long roaring look could ignite the entire team, and it could even be said to drive the entire court.
This kind of passionate and wild attack is something that Jefferson does not have. Now, no one will say that this deal is taking risks. If you use a potential stock to exchange for such a high-performance stock, you will definitely make a profit without losing money.
Moreover, Garnett is very eager for honor. He accepts the conditions for the transaction, that is, because he is closer to the championship in Boston, this guy will not be able to play a big name on the court for this goal.
In the first few games of the preseason, Garnett played the most, scoring, rebounding, making up defense, and even averaging nearly two steals per game. He showed his all-round skills enough.
Nowadays, many people tend to be the new starter's main core, which may be because of Garnett's hot performance, and Rivers has indeed given him enough room to show off, which is undoubtedly a signal.
There are not many big guys in the inside, but Garnett is the center in the inside, and assisting Chen Feng, Perkins, these tough guys, can completely resist most of the inside combinations.
Garnett is flexible enough in the inside and has a large offensive range. He has played in the NBA for many years, rebounding and scoring. This kind of experience advantage makes it difficult to ignore his presence.
Therefore, most people prefer to have Garnett attacked in the inside and Chen Feng is the sub-car. Although the bald wild boy is very strong, he is still a second-year NBA student after all.
He has not achieved Garnett's achievements in the NBA. If he was asked to attack and Garnett as his deputy, this would be a surprising scene. I guess Rivers would not make such a foolish decision.
In addition, Chen Feng's data has been in a dull and has no highlights recently, so many people have confirmed this view, and this choice seems to be the safest.
No matter whether Rivers wants to compete in the finals or be the boss in the East District, finding the most secure lineup and style of play will always be the primary issue he needs to solve. Now it seems that he has reached the threshold.
While enviing the Celtics' good luck, journalists and critics are also paying attention to what kind of pressure these guys will bring to other teams during the regular season.
However, other people's plans do not represent Rivers' ideas, and the preseason madness may not necessarily continue to the regular season stage, but for outside speculation, this guy really doesn't want to reply anything.
After all, this is a Celtic problem and has nothing to do with reporters. How to choose tactics is also Rivers' consideration and idea. The rest are bystanders. Only those who participate in it can understand the tricks here. At least Rivers is not naive enough to discuss the team's tactical issues with others. That is the secret of the Celtics' new season. However, for that kid Chen Feng, Rivers can only silence his lips for those saying that Chen Feng is to be a supporter. I really don't know what kind of idiotic thought can only be thought of.
Use Chen Feng as an auxiliary product? No, let alone Rivers has this idea, even if it does.
Can that kid be willing to be a green leaf? If you have nothing to do, Lu leaf will play single-handedly fight with Garnett on the training ground? Treat him as an offensive deputy, Rivers asked himself for his thoughts that he was not that tough.
Regarding the issue of coexistence between Garnett and Chen Feng, Rivers and Thibodeau had considered it before the transaction was completed. Both of them had obvious personal abilities in the inside and had a large range of activities.
This is a template for two power forwards, but one is more flexible and the other is more vigorous.
No matter who is regarded as the second choice of offense, it is a waste. Rivers is not rich enough to waste All-Star players, but at this stage, it focuses on Garnett's problem, which has caused others to speculate too much.
"You have to give people a chance to integrate into the team, and Garnett also needs to find the feeling of attacking in the Celtics system. These guys are really thinking too much."
Although Rivers said so, he was a little hesitant when it comes to the use of Garnett and Chen Feng.
After all, one is an old star, and the other is a leader in the new generation. In addition, both of them have strong personal abilities, so it is indeed a problem for who is the main attacker at the basket.
But Rivers did not limit the number of attacks Chen Feng took. The boy who played in the preseason was not so good at playing, and he was completely looking for a feeling and running in with his new teammates.
Chen Feng had nothing to respond to in the face of the speculation from the outside world. If he really competed for strength, he wouldn't mind fighting with Garnett. Anyway, they had already been a month old, and this time it wasn't bad.
It’s just that Garnett took the ball and attacked strongly in the inside, and Chen Feng wanted to start attacking at mid-range to create greater lethality. With two equally powerful guys, that would completely destroy the opponent!
During the game, I observed the newly joined guys around me who were more accustomed to attacking. Chen Feng reduced the number of shots just because it was just a preseason, so there was no need to let go of the tough attack.
His presence is so easy to erase? Then he is not the animal that broke out on the streets of New York. He is just waiting for the start of the new season in this way...
