Chapter 67: Want to run away? No way!

Thomas suddenly made such a change of trick, which made Rivers scratch his head a little. He didn't expect the "Smiling Assassin" to do such a move, and he actually had three big men, including Marbury and Richardson.

"Now that's how you count it, there are at least three guys on the Knicks who can throw three-pointers."

In fact, it is not surprising to the NBA that Fry is more than two meters tall and can shoot from the outside. After all, Igoskas of the Cavaliers and Oku of the Jazz are all such players.

But the problem with Rivers scratching his head now is not Fry's height and range, but Thomas actually played so well, throwing two rebounds in the inside, and then all three-point guns were all on the outside.

A guy like Richardson has a nerve knife that can kill even when he feels like a hand, not to mention Marbury. In this game, his hands are the hottest, and he has to be defended by three-pointers and breakthroughs.

As for Fry, he just made two consecutive three-pointers, which was forcing the Celtics to expand their defense.

From Fry's appearance to his two goals, it was only about a minute in total. Although there was not much time, Rivers had already planned to make adjustments, otherwise the momentum he had just risen would be defeated again.

If Chen Feng hadn't come, Rivers really didn't know when the Celtics would be passively beaten. Fortunately, the kid's explosion would have destroyed the Knicks' arrogance.

Although Fry's two long shots and Marbury's breakthrough just now have kept the Knicks' lead at six points, anyone can see that they have lost the sharpness of the first quarter.

Especially Chen Feng's mocking at the crowd of fans all over the court. Although the response from New York fans was even greater booing, even such a hot atmosphere could not continue to help the Knicks' offensive.

It can be said that it was Chen Feng's head-on moment that brought the Knicks' previous violent attack to abruptly.

Moreover, this guy frequently put pressure on the opponent's inside line in the following offenses, which also made the Knicks spend some of their energy on defense, otherwise they would be afraid of being beaten up by that kid.

It is because of Chen Feng's strength in the inside and Rondo's threading needles on the outside that the Celtics' disadvantage situation in the first quarter was turned back bit by bit.

The score is still behind now, but compared with the previous state of being more than ten points behind, the Celtics now put more pressure on the opponent, otherwise Thomas would not have changed his moves suddenly.

The Knicks' sudden change in playing style gave Rivers a headache, but the dough guy had already made plans. He was just thinking about whether to fight firepower with the opponent or defense?

However, Szebiak is definitely going to be replaced. This guy has always been a typical representative of strong offense and weak defense. Moreover, Fry also took advantage of the height difference between the two and played singles continuously on the outside.

Rivers didn't plan to let Fry continue to rage on the outside, no matter what, he would have to put out this guy's firepower point, but who should come up to guard this big guy now?

In addition to being a little disadvantageous in height, it should be no problem to keep an eye on that guy with his defensive ability alone, but Rivers does not intend to use the strongest firepower point to play against the opponent.

"Ayer, you replace Szebiak, and you will leave that big guy who loves the first three-pointer."

After thinking about it for a while, Rivers still chose to let Jefferson play. After all, this guy has a good defensive ability, and Jefferson's height and big physique can make Fry feel uncomfortable.

"Okay, I'll stare at that guy." Jefferson's answer was still so simple and straightforward.

"The inside remains unchanged, Chen Feng and Kendrick continue to stay in the room, don't let Curry and the white man have the opportunity to control the rebound. They want to shoot three-pointers from the outside, and no one can grab the rebound is the deadliest, unless their three-point shooting percentage can always be maintained at more than 50%.

50%? Of course it is impossible, unless these guys are all God leaning over. Even the Suns, which use gunfire as their magic weapon, do not have such terrifying three-point ability, let alone the Knicks.

Originally, Rivers planned to start counterattacking when the opponent's shooting percentage began to decline, but now that Thomas wants to turn the situation around, Rivers must suppress the opponent's idea.

So after careful consideration, Rivers lined up a lineup that was against the opponent.

Pierce and Jefferson were back on the court, but Rondo and Chen Feng were both on the court, including Perkins. Although they replaced Szebiak's offensive point, their firepower was not weakened.

Even Thibodeau could feel that such a weird personnel combination would likely increase the Celtics' offensive firepower, and the reason lies in the two novices.

Needless to say, Pierce's ability is, Jefferson, one of the best forward and guard swingers in the league, has no need to deliberately translate the data to explain anything.

But the biggest surprise to Thibodeau and Rivers is probably the two first-grade novices. Starting from the first game against the Hornets, the speed of these two boys adapting to the NBA shocked everyone.

Rondo's performance in point guard is outrageous, and in defense, this guy can perform without being at a disadvantage against a top offensive player like Marbury.

In terms of assists, this kid is more stable and accurate, with a very small turnover rate and doesn't look like a novice at all.

Of course, besides Rondo, the other wild boy is the biggest discovery of the Celtics.

Although there was Auerbach's recommendation, Rivers was a little suspicious of him before taking over Chen Feng, believing that this kid is just a good personal ability and it will take more time to integrate into the team.

Facts have proved that the Cardinal's vision is indeed fierce enough. The boy has adapted to the NBA rhythm in almost no time. Not only that, he has become a catalyst for the team.

In the last game, this guy made West leave the court depressedly, and then Paul watched the team massacred by the Celtics with a frustration. It can be said that Chen Feng's appearance was the most important turning point in that game.

If someone says it's because of luck, then Thibodeau would definitely not think it would be luck in this game. The boy almost reversed the one-sided situation on the court alone.

The tyrannical slam dunk and the fierce inside attack, the Knicks' wild offensive tide was stopped by this kid, and his big hands seemed like the solidest dam.

The Celtics began to speed up the score, which started after Chen Feng's tyrannical slam dunk.

So even if Pierce and Jefferson returned to the court, Rivers did not let the two kids come down.

He needs Rondo's calmness, and even more so the impetus of that kid Chen Feng, it is best to defeat the other party!

"Six points, a small gap. We were still more than ten points behind a few minutes ago. Now they are more nervous than us. So, don't care too much, and fight according to your habits!"

After making the substitution adjustment, Rivers didn't say much. The running-in between players depends on the game to find the feeling. As the coach who controls the situation, he cannot really play on the court.

After explaining the tactics, Rivers could only wait and see if it could be executed and whether it could curb the Knicks' somewhat crazy outside projection.

However, he didn't notice that when Jefferson and Chen Feng walked into the venue together, they were still thinking about how to stare at Fry, but Chen Feng grabbed him.

"Hey, man, wait and see that guy, you go into the inside." Chen Feng said to Jefferson in a very low voice. The guy's face was full of strange expressions at this moment.

"Take..." Jefferson just wanted to tell Chen Feng that this was the tactic arranged by the head coach.

"Your movement speed is not as fast as mine, so it's more appropriate for me to stare at that guy. You also saw that this guy had a good running position just now. If you have the physical strength, it's better to rush into the inside and score."

Chen Feng interrupted Jefferson's words. He knew that it was arranged by Rivers, but Chen Feng now had his own thoughts.

Although Fry's ability to fight is not as good as Jefferson, this guy's running position is a bit erratic. If Jefferson stares at him, most of his physical fitness will be consumed on the move.

This is a bit of a loss. If you have physical fitness, it is better to go directly to the inside to carry Curry or David Lee to play. There is no need to compete with a pitcher on the outside.

Moreover, Chen Feng just wanted to stare at the guy who ignored him. Just as Rondo said, he was going to bite Fry to death, let him know that it was really difficult to shoot a three-pointer in front of him.

"If the boss knows, we will both suffer." Jefferson could understand how serious the charge was.

If Rivers was furious, maybe he and Chen Feng would suffer. Although the boy's proposal was quite tempting, no one would be willing to be a pure defender on the outside.

Especially Jefferson is already in the contract year now. If he can continue his strong performance in scoring, the next contract may be a maximum salary, and even if it is not, it will not be much worse.

But when Rivers arranged the tactics just now, a guy like Jefferson who has always been silly can't really give some advice to the head coach.

But if Jefferson could change his mission, he would be happy, so Chen Feng's proposal made him a little moved.

"It's okay. Anyway, the boss always prepares to kill me with a gun. You can pretend that you don't know anything, just say that I pushed you away. At worst, the boss will come to me if he has any problems."

Chen Feng grinned at Jefferson, making Rondo and Jefferson, who heard the plan next to him, feel helpless, because the kid doesn't seem to take this seriously at all.

Yes, this kid can take Rivers' lessons as a warning. This is not to say that he has any privileges, but simply because Chen Feng is shameless and brave.

"Okay, man, good luck, I hope that guy won't throw a three-pointer in front of you, or you and I will be miserable." After weighing the trade-offs, Jefferson chose to compromise.

There was no way, Jefferson knew that even if he didn't agree, the kid would take the initiative to guard Fry. Instead of that, it would be better to sell Chen Feng alone now.

"Hehe, it's okay, I'm just waiting to fight him to the death." Chen Feng's expression at this moment seemed to Rondo, how cheap it was.

At first, no one noticed the deal between Jefferson and Chen Feng, but when the Knicks reached outside the three-point line, Fry discovered that the madman had actually been in front of him to guard the situation.

"Man, don't think about running away this time. Go to the ends of the world, and I will follow you!" Although Fry didn't fully understand what the guy in front of him was doing.

However, the bald boy's strange smile made him feel a little chilled...

Want to run? No way, a prey that has been targeted, still want to run away? That's really a dream!

(I'm late today. I'll come back later. I'll wait for me later. I'll wait for me for a while. Anyway, I'll not go to bed so early when I watch football today... Don't worry)
