NBA Tyrant

Chapter 94

The Celtics played 11 players tonight, and 8 of them scored in double figures, which can be said to be a soldier for everyone, every time the Magic team chased the score.

There are always people who stand up to suppress the Magic's counterattack momentum and stabilize or even expand the score advantage for the team.

Of course, there is a bit of a deliberate arrangement by Johnny, especially when Howard is on the rise with a small lineup.

Howard was always substituted for a break on several occasions.

Johnny took the initiative to stifle the climax of the Magic player's counterattack.

Then let Francis lead the team to practice new tactics while still lagging behind.

The commentary and fans at the scene did not understand Johnny's mysterious operation, and even the impulsive home fans because Johnny had no brains to replace Howard.

Condolences to Johnny's female family on the sidelines, trash talk squirts out without money.

Of course, he was invited to tea by the home security guards.

To say that Pierce's performance tonight can only be said to be anticlimactic, with a mediocre shooting percentage of 9-of-21 from the field.

Except for the humiliating block in the first quarter by Howard, the rookie champion, which sparked his form.

5-of-8 in the first quarter, a strong response to Howard's provocation, and then the state cooled down, and in the second quarter, Hill defended 0-of-4, and in the second half, he only had a 4-of-9 score.

With 24 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, the performance was decent.

What really made it so easy for Celtic to win was that their bench players played very efficiently tonight.

Al Jefferson was 7-of-13 and Banks was 7-of-13, and the two combined to lead the way and contribute 38 points in their bench time.

On the other hand, the Magic team only scored 35 points by scoring all the bench players combined.

Coupled with the fact that Francis's offensive performance was very sluggish by Payton's defense, Hill's scoring performance was also unsatisfactory because he focused on defending Pierce.

Howard, the big killer,

was forced to put away his fangs for most of the game, mainly as the brain on the court, distributing the ball on the outside, and only 12 shots, as the core of the team, it was so low that even Turkoglu was inferior.

In the home team's locker room, Johnny briefly summarized the game to everyone on the Magic team, asking everyone not to care about winning or losing a game and relaxing.

However, both Francis and Nelson were unhappy.

Francis, because he didn't like Pierce's arrogance, wanted to teach Pierce how to win the game, but now not only lost, but also lost miserably.

Coupled with the clash with Celtic in the game, I am now extremely unbalanced.

Nelson's words, mainly from the moment he was stealed, sprayed a whole field of trash talk with Payton on the court.

As long as they are aligned, the mouths of the two will not stop, and the spittle stars that spew out seem to turn into sharp swords, and they will slash each other under the sword.

Howard took a change of clothes, got up from his closet, looked at the two with black faces, patted them, and signaled to take a shower first, after all, there will be media reporters who will come into the locker room for interviews.

Howard, who walked to the bathroom, was not at peace in his heart.

[The coach's approach is really unnecessary, as long as you are in the top eight in the East, no matter whether your record is dazzling or not, it will definitely be studied by the opponent.

[Moreover, suddenly rotating multiple people in the game and disrupting the lineup, it is easy to make the lineup combination that has formed a tacit understanding become overwhelming, and in the end, if it is because of the new tactical play, the original system of play that has played well is lost, it is really picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons, and the gains outweigh the losses!]

After the Celtics' press conference, Rivers brought Pierce and Jefferson to attend.

"Coach Rivers, what deployment did you make before the game to let you defeat the league's No. 1 Magic team tonight?"

"Hehe! Actually, it's very simple, we just let Howard fall into a personal offense to achieve the goal of consuming

Howard, everyone knows Howard's strength and the Magic's style of play, and then we have this year's No. 15 pick, Jefferson, who is the same age as Howard, he is underrated, and he has completed the task I gave him perfectly,

I don't think he was weaker than the champion Howard tonight, and he made me realize that Howard is not without flaws, and I think I should think about how to develop him!haha!"

Rivers was very happy to have a big win against his old club, the Magic.

"Coach Rivers, do you have any comments or what you would like to say to Coach Johnny, who took over your position, for changing the Magic team you coached last year from a fish-belly team to the current No. 1 coaching level in the league?"

Rivers, who was still smiling, heard this piercing question, his smile disappeared instantly, and he glanced up at the reporter who asked the question.

Rivers has a saying in his heart, I don't know if I should talk about it or not.

[FK!U!Do you mean that my coaching level is not as good as this rookie coach named Johnny?Please, have you watched tonight's game, I!! defeated the Magic team he coached!understand?]

"Ahem! Coach Johnny can bring the Magic team to its current position, and the coaching level is naturally needless to say, but he is obviously too young and a little impetuous

He was in a hurry, messed up, the lineup began to mix and match at will, the team's style of play became disorganized, I know he wants to adjust his tactics to change the situation on the field, but as a coach, he should learn how to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, and he should learn

to be steady when he is young, like when I am chasing the score, I still believe in the players on the field, let them stabilize the situation according to the familiar tactics that are set

In this regard, if there's something he doesn't understand, I'd love to share my experience with him, well, that's what I want to say to him!"

Rivers' implication was that Johnny should learn from his lessons and learn more from himself.

If it weren't for Howard's phenomenal dominance in the previous game, the Magic team would not have been able to play the current results, and Johnny still has a lot to learn!]

"Pierce! Before the game, you said that the strength of the Magic team is not as strong as you imagined, and it can't put pressure on you, you can take the Celtics to defeat the Magic, and you are not optimistic about Howard's strength

Now, you beat the Magic by a big margin, and you suppressed Howard with only 12 shots, and only scored 20 points, far below his average of 32 points per game, how did you do that?"

"I said, the Magic and Howard are both touted, everyone overestimates them, like the coach said, when Howard falls into an individual offense and can't play a star-studded system

, Howard's role will become very small, look at his face when he faced our Jefferson, 3 in the first quarter 0, tsk, this is already very indicative of Howard's strength.

Although he scored a few goals on Jefferson's head in the final quarter of the game, the outcome was decided at that time, and Jefferson did not seriously defend him again to allow Howard to score.

Otherwise, Howard's stats would be even more ugly than the current one, and it is estimated that he will not even get 15 points

, and the title of tyrant is not suitable for him, at least in front of my 'truth', he will not be able to match the dominance of this title

! Our Jefferson is the hero of the night, and he has restrained Howard! His performance makes me even think, oh! Is Jefferson more suitable than Howard to be the champion? haha!".

Winning the game and letting Howard not play well, Pierce naturally had to pretend to be a good one.

"Jefferson, you are the only interior player who can really limit Howard at the moment, what do you think

of Howard, the champion of the same year?" "Oh! His strength, footwork and low-post singles are good

, but that's just like that for me! I can limit him, he can't guard me!" Jefferson himself actually knows in his heart that Howard's strength is definitely at the level of an interior hegemon, but in the face of the media, as an opponent, he naturally can't admit it.

Remembering that in the final minutes, although he started to score a few goals in the matchup, Howard quickly became familiar with his offensive tactics.

Howard adjusted his defense, and the next 6 balls allowed him to not score a single goal, and he defended 3 of 9 in a single quarter, making Jefferson's offensive efficiency extremely low.

And Howard is unbeatable on the offensive end, and Jefferson knows he can't defend at all.

But in front of the coach and the team boss, Jefferson naturally can't be cowardly, lest he tear down their platform for himself.

If the two people that a team can't mess with are offended, then how can they mix in the team in the future.

The story is not over here, and a commentator on the other side writes directly on ESPN.

The headline at the beginning is striking, "Magic, a seriously overrated team".

The article harshly criticized Johnny, a rookie coach, for being inexperienced and immature enough to arrange the lineup when the team was behind.

said that the Magic team lost their weapons, and when they encountered a style of play that could restrain Howard, they could only stupidly use immature tactics and lineups to adjust.

Doing so is like a person with a weapon who puts away his weapon and wants to fight with the gangster with his bare hands when facing a gangster.

Howard was the Magic's big killer, but Howard disappeared like stealth in the game.

Then, the article said that Francis's strength level is not worthy of the All-Star level at all, and his shooting rate is less than 40% many times this season, and his ability to lead the team in games has not been ideal.

Then he mentioned Hill and the team's bench and role players, saying that Hill's glass man attribute can be injured at any time, and other players lack scoring stability, etc., and criticized the top and bottom of the Magic team.

Finally, when it comes to Howard, it is said that Howard will only play with his body, and when he encounters a strong and flexible inside, Howard's slender lower set will be targeted and restrained.

In short, the Magic team is incompetent to the head coach, and the players and core strength are average, and the current results are all obtained by luck.

At the bottom, the name of the writer of the article is A-Smith, who has not yet opened his own column and is still just an ordinary commentator.

The next day, many of the media that had previously touted the Magic team also began to look down on the Magic, accusing Francis and the head coach of being incompetent.

In order to attract attention, some media even said that Howard was not worthy of the status of champion, and the champion in '04 should be given to Jefferson!

Because Jefferson restricted Okafor and Howard one after another.

When Howard learned these remarks, his face turned grim.

[Rivers and Pierce, the two big mouths, are really a match! In the original world, there was no shortage of slaps in the face, and this A Smith was also a big mouth!].
