Chapter 20: Rivers' Trust
When people are unlucky, they are unlucky, and after being carried away, Rondo is estimated to recuperate for a period of time after being examined by the team doctor. Originally, Rondo had an upward period this season, and I don't know if there will be any different ending after this unexpected injury.
At the beginning of the second half, the Spurs' offense intensified a lot. Parker also had a lot of room to play after Tony Allen went off the court, hitting back-to-back shots. And the main attacking points on the Celtic side, Ray Allen and Pierce are not in form today.
It's normal for Pierce to be like this, he's afraid of getting hurt by Bowen like Rondo. This year is the year he is most likely to win the championship, and it's still the regular season, and he doesn't want to miss the playoffs because of an injury.
And not to mention Ray Allen, who was hurt by Bowen strongly, and he almost died that time. Now I see Bowen Lei Allen's heart is still a little scared.
Garnett and Duncan are still wrestling, and holding Duncan in tow is the biggest help he can give the team right now.
Replaced centre-forward Fabrizio Oberto put Joe under a lot of pressure. A full-time technical center like Oberto, who has shots and footwork, Joe's defensive superiority is not well reflected. But gradually I got used to it.
The third quarter became a little dull, and this was the Spurs, which were so steady that they had no passion, and the Celtics became passionless.
The third quarter ended with the Spurs leading by eight points at 73-65 heading into the fourth quarter. This simple 8-point Celtics just can't catch up......
Rivers was angry that the team's table was so bad today. "Do you still want to win the championship? Today's opponent may be the opponent of the finals, what should you do if you play the playoffs in this state!! Ray, what about your three points? Paul, where did your breakthrough go? You two are not as good as JOJO, a rookie in how the Big 3 played. ”
Joe couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he heard Rivers' words, Nima wouldn't want me to play against Bowen.
Rivers glanced at Joe and said, "JOJO, YOU'LL PLAY SMALL FORWARD LATER." Ray you go to rest. ”
Lei Allen was replaced without complaints, his performance was indeed very poor. All he could do was remind Joe, "JOJO, watch out for Bowen, he's not the kind of person who talks about the rules." ”
Joe nodded and said, "Knowing Ray, I'll be careful." ”
The fourth quarter of the game was about to begin, and Rivers used an impassioned speech to awaken the confidence of the players.
"Guys, look at the fans here, they all want to see us make history!! Can we give up this game? Are you right about them? So guys, beat the Spurs and let's be a part of history together!! ”
Rivers' speech still played a role, at least the team was able to avoid the dullness just now, and instead replaced it with the determination to win.
And Joe has one more reason to have to win the game.
Special Mission: Rivers' Trust.
Introduction: In the NBA, a good head coach plays even more on the court than an All-Star player. Win this game and earn the trust of Coach Rivers!!
Bonus: Rivers' Follower (When the protagonist joins another team as leader, Coach Rivers can be made the head coach of that team.) )
Punishment: No penalty.
This task is simply drunk, having a system is great, and worrying about the problems of your future team manager, I sent a Rivers to you.
But think about it, in the NBA2k15mc mode, the second season will be Rivers as your head coach. It seems that the triggering of this task is not accidental.
In 1999-00, Doug Rivers' debut season as a coach led a team that many predicted to be at the bottom of the table (four of the five starters did not experience the draft) to a 50 percent win rate (41-41), for which he won the Coach of the Year title and became the fifth head coach in NBA history to win the Reed Auerbach Trophy in his first season in charge.
After winning the award in his first year, Rivers went on to lead the Magic to a winning rate of over 50% and reach the playoffs for three consecutive years, but Grant Hill has been plagued by injuries that have not helped him achieve better results.
In the 2002-03 season, Rivers led the Magic to the playoffs as eighth in the East, meeting the Pistons in the first round. Maddy had 43 points and 7 rebounds in Game 1, 46 points and 5 rebounds in Game 2, 29 points and 7 rebounds in Game 3, 27 points and 9 assists in Game 4, and led the Magic to a 3-1 lead. But then the Magic lost three games in a row and were eliminated.
In the 2003-04 season, Rivers ended his first job as a head coach in the NBA after a poor start of 1-10.
On April 29, 2004, Doug Rivers was named the new head coach of the Celtics, becoming the 16th head coach in Celtics history and the fourth head coach to win the NBA Coach of the Year award.
In 2004-05, in his first season in charge of the Celtics, Rivers led the team to a 45-37 record (54.9 percent win rate) and won the team's first Atlantic title since 1991-92. However, in his first year at the helm of the Celtics, Rivers' coaching style has been questioned, especially by well-known ESPN commentator Bill Simmons.
But the team then missed talent in the draft and never got to a higher stage.
In the 2006-07 season, the Celtics had a 24-58 record and had fallen to the bottom of the East, having recorded an embarrassing 18-game losing streak due to Pierce's injury.
In the 2007-08 season, the team acquired Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen, and Paul Pierce to form the new Big Three. Rivers led Boston to the regular season championship with an 18-3 record at home and an NBA-record 15-3 on the road. Rivers led the Celtics with the Big Three of Garnett, Pierce and Ray Allen all the way to the final 4-2 overall victory over the Los Angeles Lakers led by Kobe and Gasol, the 17th championship in the team's history. It was the first time the Celtics had won a championship since 1986. Rivers won their first championship as head coach despite a record 26 playoff games.
On January 21, 2008, Doug ? Rivers and the Celtics coaching staff were selected to coach the All-Star Eastern Conference. On February 17, 2008, the NBA All-Star Game was held at the New Orleans Coliseum in Louisiana, and Rivers led the East to a 134-128 victory over the West Army.
On February 6, 2011, Doug Rivers was officially elected head coach of the Eastern Stars at the 2011 Los Angeles All-Star Game, the second time in his career.
In April 2011, Doug Rivers won the Celtics' Auerbach Award that season.
In his nine seasons in charge of the Celtics, Rivers won 416 games, the third-highest number of wins in franchise history, behind Cardinal Auerbach and Tom Heinsohn.
Clippers period
In June 2013, the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Clippers reached an agreement. Rivers is heading to the Clippers to coach, and the Green Shirts will be compensated with a first-round pick. Subsequently, Rivers signed a three-year, $21 million contract with the Clippers, and he will not only serve as the team's head coach, but also become a member of the management team as the Clippers' vice president of basketball affairs. However, the league's compensation agreement in this deal prohibits the two teams from making any player trades until the end of the next season.
On August 28, 2014, the Clippers officially announced that they had officially signed head coach Doug Rivers to a five-year contract that would end at the end of the 2018-19 season.
On April 15, 2015, the Clippers won the game on the road to the Suns, and Doug Rivers claimed the 700th victory of his coaching career.
In the 2014-15 season, the Clippers finished third in the West with a 56-26 record, and faced the defending champion Spurs in the first round, and with Paul's last-minute stunner, the Clippers eliminated the Spurs 4-3. The Clippers led the Rockets 3-1 in the first four games of the second round, and the Clippers collapsed in the fifth game, were reversed by 19 points in the sixth game, and lost 113-100 in the seventh game. The Clippers became the ninth team in NBA history to suffer a 3-1 lead and Rivers became the first coach in history to lead his team to a 3-1 lead twice.
Rivers' coaching career has not been brilliant, and his coaching ability has been questioned by many. But in Joe's opinion, those are all, and Rivers' ability is only known if you've been a player with him. And the system is more focused on the defensive side, and the offensive side is not bad. The most important thing is that Rivers believes in his players. Just like in the 14-15 season, when he was in charge of the Clippers, he faced the defending champion Spurs in the first round of the playoffs, and with Chris Paul's last-minute stunner, the Clippers eliminated the Spurs 4-3. He just believed in Paul, but in the end, he still fell in the second round of the playoffs.
Even so, you can't deny Rivers' ability, at least Joe thinks that the most suitable coach for him in the future should be Rivers.
