Chapter 421 The flag of the east!
Updated: 2013-04-07
28 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks. No matter what game you take out, it is a pretty answer. The little emperor's personal performance is as tough as usual.
It can even be said that if this is a accurate triple-double score, if it is normal for ordinary people, there will definitely be many Cleveland fans worshipping there. As for the local media, they have already been around for interviews.
But at the end of the game, there was no cheering sound in the Speed Loan Arena, and there was only silence.
With the deadly silence, many people chose to leave before the fourth quarter was over, leaving only empty seats, which may be the first time this season for Speed Loan Stadium.
Even the Cleveland media reporters seemed a little listless at this time, with only a few people going to the little emperor, but they certainly wouldn't ask too many questions about the game.
There is nothing to say about this damn game, especially on such a night, just like the deadly atmosphere in the stadium, no one is willing to mention the process of this game now.
Maybe even the little emperor himself doesn’t want to mention anything more, because in such a bad game, even if you win an extremely beautiful data, it will not be a result in the end? He has become the loser of this confrontation!
Even if he was very unhappy, the little emperor had to accept the result helplessly and face the failure with a quasi-triple-double data. This seems like a kind of irony, cruel and realistic no matter how you look at it.
If this were in normal times, there were always many reporters around the little emperor, and that highly-watched guy also liked to talk, but now, I'm afraid the little emperor himself doesn't have much interest in accepting interviews.
Even a local reporter in Cleveland asked him to say a few more words, the guy also responded to the scene and turned around and left. The headband that helped him cover up his hairline was thrown into the stands after the game.
Maybe that action was just a simple vent, but anyone could see that the little emperor was in a bad mood at the moment.
It can even be said that it is not a little bad, otherwise this guy who likes to talk to reporters when he is fine will not be so depressed, even if he gets a very beautiful data.
If this is done normally, I'm afraid he will definitely be typing his own data statistics and keep watching over there.
But now, these guys from the Cavaliers must not be as interested, and they want to leave here earlier.
On this Christmas night, there is nothing more hot than encountering a failure at your doorstep. Perhaps, in the newspaper the next day, there will be overwhelming criticism coming.
Perhaps only the little emperor can escape this disaster by relying on his own personal performance, but as the absolute leader of the team, it is always inevitable that he is a bit criticized, even if he is the highly-watched darling of Cleveland.
The Cavaliers lost another home record, but no one mentioned this result.
Those fans who left the field early even tore up the tickets in their hands. They thought it was a counterattack, but in the end, the same ended. They should be the first in the league or the first, and there was no change at all.
Those damn Bostonians took away the victory in a swagger. Their fangs left a row of fierce tooth marks on the Cavaliers, watching their opponents accept the failure in blood.
This is a face-to-face battle, and there is no place to take advantage of it. Whether you are happy to accept such a reality or not, you have lost anyway, and the Clevelanders' lament seems to have to continue.
Even though they always thought they should be the best team in the league, reality still gave them a heavy blow. Facing the Celtics' livestock, they were still unlucky losers.
A failure is actually not terrible. If even the Clevelanders themselves lose confidence, no one can save them. This retreat really hits the fans' hearts.
From the beginning of the season to the Christmas game, the Cavaliers' home court was almost the same, not only when they were full of the game.
Moreover, this is the annual Christmas battle, and the ticket price has been hyped up to a sky-high price before the game.
The high-priced tickets of thousands of dollars are not something you can buy just by wanting to buy. This is probably the first time Cleveland has surpassed Los Angeles and New York in this regard, either because of anything else, because they have the little emperor.
The guy who can make huge waves in the East, and they are going to kill the Celtics at home!
But now? The numbers on the scoreboard have explained why this is for those fans who have left.
No one is willing to face a failure at their doorstep, let alone a failure to be crushed by the opponent!
98:81, the score was unbearable for the Cavaliers fans. I really don’t know how many Clevelanders who were supposed to celebrate the festival this night were going to welcome the holiday with a depressed expression.
I hope those guys who spend a lot of money to buy football tickets can recover soon, otherwise, not only will they lose the high ticket price, but also their own good mood for celebrating the holiday.
This bad game, maybe this is the thought in the minds of many Cavaliers fans, their cheers only stirred up waves of sound at the beginning of the first quarter.
Then, the rhythm of the game has nothing to do with the Cavaliers. Even if Mike Brown's roar kept ringing on the sidelines, in the eyes of many people, it seemed more like a dying struggle!
"Every time we substitution or tactical adjustments are expected by our opponents. What does this mean? I can only say that Mike is an idiot. That's it. I hope you can let him see this interview!"
This is when a fan who left the court early walked out of the Quick Loan Stadium, he was stopped by the reporters with an upset look on his face and vented with resentment. It can be seen that he was very annoyed at this moment.
If the reporters didn't let this guy go wisely, they would know if he was going home to get a submachine gun. Of course, the first person this guy wanted to kill was definitely Mike Brown.
Just like what he said, Mike Brown never controlled the rhythm of the entire game. Every time he substitution was replaced, it seemed like he was cooperating with Rivers' personnel adjustments.
If you go to Ilgoskas to increase the height of the inside, Rivers will use the combination of Garnett and Chen Feng to compete with you for flexibility, offense, and fierce momentum of fighting at the basket.
But if Valejo comes up there, Rivers either replace Perkins and fights a pure position to fight the inside line, or re-arranges the tactics of one, one, four, and four.
Anyway, it’s just a steady attitude to take advantage of the opponent. If you substitute people, he will also switch them. And substitutions are not the key point. The main reason is that the Celtics always use the gap in substitutions to widen the score a little.
At the end of the first quarter, they led by eight points, and then at the end of the second quarter, they won one point in a single quarter, three points in the third quarter, and five points in the fourth quarter. This is how the victory accumulates.
Cutting flesh with a soft knife is actually the cruelest, because you can always let your opponent see how you died.
This is just like Lingchi in ancient China. It was really cut off with one knife. Then the guys from the Cavaliers watched the scores bit by bit by bit by bit, but seemed helpless.
Apart from shouting on the sidelines, Mike Brown had no choice at all. The only thing he could count on was the little emperor, but a tough little emperor could not make up for the weakness of others.
Therefore, even if this guy can win a quasi-triple double-double, he can't change the end of the Cavaliers' defeat at home. He scored 15 points in the second quarter, which is just delaying the failure a little longer.
Maybe if this guy doesn't fight so hard, the Cavaliers' failure will come faster and there is no need to be so painful. Even the guy who refuses to admit defeat, lowered his head at the last moment.
Rivers started the second quarter with the intention of giving the little emperor a single and then double-teaming others. Moreover, Chen Feng was taken care of in the inside, even if the little emperor broke into the basket, he might not be able to gain a advantage.
Especially the blockade of others is much easier. If you only fight the little emperor, it will be easy to activate the rest of the Cavaliers. Therefore, Rivers chose to let go and guard the others.
Can you make you shoot from the outside, but want to break through? Your sister, do you really think that the Celtics' defense is vegetarian?
Garnett gave 5 blocks in the whole game, and Chen Feng gave them 4 times. These were simply two animals in the inside line, and even Perkins gave Valejo a big hat to chase him!
19 points, 15 rebounds, 5 blocks and 3 assists, which is Garnett's data, and as many as six people scored in double digits, but none of them were dazzling as that bald boy.
Not only because his slam dunk was too gorgeous, but also because this guy passed the scene of Valaijo and Wallace alone, and has been played by TNT TV more than a dozen times.
The smooth offensive process became the highlight of the entire Christmas game. Even the slam dunk had to stand aside. In addition, Chen Feng's data was really beautiful, with 18 points, 18 rebounds, plus 4 blocks and 4 assists.
This guy and Garnett teamed up to fight in the inside, which is the fundamental reason why the Celtics can defeat the Cavaliers.
Even Rivers said in an interview after the game, "Our inside line is very strong, so on both offense and defense, offensive players have enough choices, either attacking or creating opportunities."
This is true. The Celtics can defeat the Cavaliers because of their flexibility in the inside.
Moreover, when they were supporting and covering others at high positions, they completely destroyed the Clevelanders' defense. Basically, no one of Mike Brown's team could keep up with these guys.
It’s not that the little emperor and his teammates are weak, but the Celtics are playing too flexible. If you block him, these guys will transfer the ball without hesitation and then come in again from the other side.
Especially Chen Feng or Garnett, who hold the ball at a high position, not only can they directly hit the basket, but they can also pull the Cavaliers' inside line away and then let their teammates cut in, posing a threat.
This offensive mode is simply a weakness of the Cavaliers. Running back and forth will mess up the defensive system that Mike Brown has carefully calculated.
Moreover, these guys can even tear the Cavaliers' firepower network on the defensive end. Although Mike Brown has been adjusting, the only one who can really cause damage is the Little Emperor himself.
However, the little emperor's attack could only open up the situation, and then everyone else fell into an endless entanglement, which made the little emperor helpless. Most of the time, he could only rely on himself to score points.
The score was 15 points in a single quarter, and the data was indeed beautiful, but the little emperor's crazy score was just a matter of losing one point in the second quarter. As for the gap in the score, he never narrowed it down at all.
It’s not a skill to stab you to death with one knife. Then take it back and stab it again. This is the cruelest thing. The Celtics are so cruel to destroy the Cavaliers.
However, after the game, someone said in the column, "The Cavaliers lost unjustly. When their eyes were still on the top spot in the East, the Celtics were thinking about the entire league."
"Looking at the match between the Cavaliers and the Western Conference strong teams, you can understand the gap between the two. The Cavaliers are very strong in the East, but in the competition with the Western Conference strong teams, their winning rate has always been less than 50%.
"But how many people have noticed the victory or defeat between the Celtics and the Western Conference strong teams? Those guys have maintained a complete victory! Not to mention the moisture in it, the Bostonians have never let go of the opponent they should win."
"Suns, Spurs, Mavericks, Lakers, who has never lost to the Celtics? The ambitions of those Bostonians have long been placed in front of everyone, but many people are unwilling to admit it."
"But after they got the Cavaliers, the East's opponents have now realized a problem."
"The Bostonians are planning not only the East, their eyes have long been staring at the finals. Can anyone stop them now? Maybe there is still the West, but in the East, it's gone."
"Don't say that there is something wrong with the Cleveland Cavaliers' state, or that Mike Brown's tactical arrangement is a decision that only an idiot can make. If there is a gap, it is a gap. Don't cover up anything."
"No matter what others think, the Celtics are now a big banner in the East! As long as they are there, there will be suspense in the confrontation between the East and the East, rather than the West has always had the advantage."
"I hope these guys in green uniforms can defeat those Western opponents in the playoffs! As for the battle in the East, I can exaggerately say that no one can stop the Celtics!"
This is a passage written by a New York reporter in a column. It may be a bit paranoid, but few people deny his prophecy because too many people have seen that the Green Shirts are really so fierce.
In the east, wherever the Green Shirts' flag goes, there are always tragic scenes of people rushing over and over. Those guys are like a group of locusts, and their powerful destructive power makes everyone frightened.
However, war of words is always the same as both sides work together. Some people compliment, and naturally some people will fight back.
In fact, it is not that no one talked to the little emperor. After losing, Cleveland media were still looking for reasons for their failure, but their fingers were still aimed at some old problems with the Cavaliers.
The lack of offensive ability in the inside line and the instability of the outside world, anyway, the ultimate goal is to shift the focus from the little emperor. It can be seen that although they lost the game, they are not willing to accept it.
"This is just a regular season confrontation. We should leave the suspense of who is the winner until the playoffs. If you lose now, it does not mean that the Cavaliers will lose in the playoffs."
"We played well at the beginning, but we still lacked in on-the-spot response. When the opponent changes moves, we lose the rhythm we deserve, but this kind of experience can be made up for."
“It took Michael Jordan seven years to win his first championship, and I believe LeBron can do that, and he has proven it in previous years.”
I have to say that the Clevelanders were very dissatisfied with the loss, especially those loyal fans, who did not want to accept such a reality. They believed that they could really kill the Celtics and win.
But now there is such a situation. The Clevelanders are screaming and wanting to make a comeback, but in the end they still lost. So after the game, they can only leave their harsh words for the next meeting.
"I took a two-day break at my doorstep and had the advantage of the home court. Then, after losing the game, the Cleveland Cavaliers were still looking for some boring excuses. I believe that only you can do this!"
Although the local media in Cleveland over there were covering up the embarrassment caused by this failure, the reasons they were looking for were a bit nonsense, so Murphy was not polite and he opened fire directly on the column.
"If you are still losers next time, I look forward to a new version of excuses. I hope you can be more careful and don't let us always read the repetitive texts, I'm almost memorizing them."
Murphy's words are as sharp as the Celtics' offense. He was originally Boston's pen, so there is no need to give the Cavaliers any face.
The loser is you, don’t do anything useless! If you are really strong enough, go to the field to solve the problem! See who is stronger!
Didn’t you say you wanted to have another collision in the playoffs? I hope you can! The Celtics are always here to wait for your counterattack! Comeonbaby! Come on, we’re here!
It is undeniable that the confrontation between Boston and Cleveland is now placed in front of everyone so bluntly. This is the competition between the boss of the Eastern Conference, and there is nothing to hide.
The main theme is the bayonet when it turns red. If you don’t accept it, you will come! Whoever wins and loses depends on the final score!
Chapter completed!
