What Rivers said on the training ground will naturally not be known by his competitors, but his words will inevitably make the small bandits under his command understand that the current Celtics must start to get angry.

This is a clear attitude. Rivers wants to put all these things on the surface so that the wild boys under him can see clearly how to face future games.

There are less than forty games left. No matter whether you have a coveted ambition for the playoffs or championships, as long as you don’t want to be forgotten by others like a pool of mud, you must make efforts at this time.

In fact, no matter who it is, he will gain a foothold at this time to meet the opponent's challenge. Rivers is no exception. He will also tell these players to seize every opportunity to win.

These things are not given to you by others, you can only try your best. If you don’t want to be squeezed out of the top eight in the east, you have to dare to fight to the death with anyone. Therefore, what Rivers needs is the warrior.

The Celtics are still far from being strong enough to allow their opponents to surrender automatically. In fact, at this time, even the Mavericks often capsize in the gutters in some games.

Two days ago, the Mavericks fell on the Pacers' territory. If the strength gap between the two sides is obviously the Dallas have the advantage, but the result of the game is that they lose.

And they didn't lose one or two points, they let their opponents press their heads and hit a 98:88 on the Pacers' territory. In the end, the gap of the entire 10 points was quite dazzling.

After losing the game, the "Little General" Johnson looked quite ugly. Even later, rumors came out that the guy scolded him hard in the locker room for nearly ten minutes.

No one knows what the Mavericks players reacted in the end, but anyone can see that when they walked out of the locker room, the expressions on their faces were so cold that no one should enter.

As the team that reached the finals last year and almost got the last trophy, the Mavericks' strength is naturally stronger than the Pacers.

But this gap was also smoothed out when the Pacers made a desperate attempt. You can say that the Pacers are lucky, but you can't deny that they are fighting fiercely.

Rivers now needs players to be as fierce as those guys, so that they can fight fiercely and ruthlessly so that their opponents can not overturn themselves to the ground, and they can step on other people's heads and enter the playoffs fiercely.

Everyone is playing hard, just to see who is playing harder. Anyway, February is a standard watershed for teams that want to enter the playoffs and fight, and they can only advance but not retreat.

Rivers didn't want to retreat, and as he said, he had no choice but to retreat. Anyway, it was already like this, so it would be better to give up. If he lost, he might really choose to get out immediately.

Even those teams that rank outside the top ten in the East and West will seek to find some opportunities at this time. Unless they are at the bottom, they can always find some reasons to fight up.

In fact, even the Milwaukee Bucks and the Minnesota Timberwolves have never given up on the chance to win. Even for them, their current victory can only slightly restore a little dignity.

But even such an opponent, you can't take it lightly. When Rivers was at home with a well-equipped team, he sent all his main players to play and beat the Milwaukee Bucks at the North Shore Garden Arena.

It was a confrontation without any suspense. On one hand, the main force was all out, and on the other hand, the wounded soldiers were everywhere.

Boggart was injured and Reed was injured. Anyway, those who can take the lead are basically on the injury list.

As the head coach, Stotts has no choice. It’s not that he doesn’t want to save his fate at the bottom, but there are only a few who can play ball in his hands. He has to look at God’s face, no matter what he can do.

If the old guy gave them some miracles, he might be able to support two more quarters of the game. Anyway, if he didn't give him a chance, they wouldn't even see a trace of light.

This tragic fate made Stotts even urged to quit his job immediately. His team is already the worst record in the East. Now it seems that even if it continues to be bad, it is no longer too bad.

Only people like Mo Williams can continue to lead the team, but God probably doesn't know whether such a player can lead a team.

If you get crazy, you can score more than 30 points. If you get so weak, you will dare to take ten points in one game. It's just like this. People who are mostly singles will lead the team. I guess no one can expect it.

Just like this game, Mo Williams played for 43 minutes and scored 31 points, but his team lost 25 points at the North Shore Garden Arena, and the fourth quarter was garbage time.

In the first three quarters, he scored 19 points, but because Rondo did not play, West was responsible for guarding him. If Rondo came on the field, this guy would probably not even get this data.

If this situation is in front of you, what would you think? Anyway, Rivers looks at it, he hopes that the more opponents such as this, the better. The threat a team can bring is not great.

"What can a point of explosion bring? It only means that they are just such a guy who can bring us damage. They can't do anything except let him brush some data."

At this time last year, Rivers watched his opponent ravage him like this, because Pierce was the only one who could take the lead at that time, and the rest could only serve as a spectator.

It’s not that Rivers’ coaching is not good, but there are no suitable players. He can line up and play styles, and no one will execute it. Stotts is obviously in this situation now.

The Celtics last season had almost the same experience as Milwaukee now. They may have a guy who scored more than thirty or nearly thirty in each game.

But most of the final victory belongs to the opponent, because they have nothing except this point. Even if Rivers was dispatching troops, they could not reverse the embarrassing situation at that time.

Otherwise Pierce wouldn't have heard of leaving, because that guy didn't want everyone to think that he was a scoring machine, but he couldn't lead the team to win the game and win.

But this situation definitely doesn't exist now. Pierce only scored 21 points in this game, but the team won extremely easily. He never even came in the fourth quarter.

Rivers actually asked Pierce if he needed to get himself a pretty data during garbage time, but Pierce refused, and he also said something.

"Since I don't need to win 30 or 40 in every game to win, why do I still have to play so tired? I was so tired last season when I carried the team alone. Now I should have a rest."

Players all pay attention to the performance of personal data, after all, it represents the bargaining chips when signing a contract in the future, but for Pierce now, those things are far less attractive than the playoffs.

If he could enter the playoffs with these powerful little bandits, he wouldn't mind being able to open up all the firepower at that time, so that those obstacles would fall under his strong scoring ability.

What Pierce has to do now is just to play quietly, and then wait for the victory to arrive and continue to accumulate energy for the playoffs. Both he and the Celtics need a crazy release process, but before that, they need to accumulate enough crazy to make a big splash in the playoffs, which is truly crazy!

But Rivers actually doesn't have to worry about the average data, because even if Pierce doesn't brush the data, someone will do this job for him.

Just like Thibodeau next to Rivers, this man who usually keeps silent also smacks his lips with statistics after the game because he found that some of them are born to be a data brush.

"If I played twenty-five or six games like this, I think this kid is completely likely to score the top 20 in the scoring list. Oh, not at least the top 15, I bet, really."

Anyone who is familiar with Thibodeau knows that this guy has never been the kind of person who is full of train running. He must have made such a speech after a sufficiently accurate estimate.

"Well, maybe this is an accident. Old guy, you know that this kid's scoring data is also a bit damn good. He played for at least five minutes in the fourth quarter, so this doesn't mean anything."

Although Rivers was a little twitching at the statistics, he still refuted Thibodeau's statement, but the intensity of the rebuttal was a little small no matter how hard he looked at it.

"Five minutes, he only scored six points, two rebounds and one block, but how to explain these twenty-six points and thirteen rebounds before, don't forget that his total playing time is only thirty-five minutes!"

"This..." Rivers listened to Thibodeau's words and said nothing, because someone was so crazy that he even seemed a little arbitrary.

Thirty-five minutes, thirty-two points, fifteen rebounds, four blocks and one assist. In the statistics of Thibodeau, a fierce guy completed the first rampage after his comeback.

"Do you guys plan to have unlimited fire power? Even the boss doesn't take more attacks." Thibodeau and Rivers scratched their scalp there, but Rondo said this to a livestock beside him.

"This... is purely a misunderstanding. Actually, if that guy Boggart didn't look at me before the game started, maybe I wouldn't have been so cruel. The main reason is that he is looking for trouble if he has nothing to do!"

Chen Feng is not a fool, so he didn't plan to play the role of grabbing the position and becoming the boss. All this was because before the game, Boggart was dressed in a human-like manner and looked at him impatiently.

Then... the Australian watched Chen Feng attack the basket he should have guarded again and again on the bench, and then watched helplessly as his team's defense was smashed to pieces.

Just as Chen Feng said himself, this was just a misunderstanding, but such a misunderstanding made many people start to be alert because they all saw the final result of the game.

This only represents one thing. After more than a month of rest, the fierce guy became even more cruel.
Chapter completed!
