Chapter 145: A strong rebound

Walking into the visiting locker room, everyone's faces were not very good, the team was blown up by the Celtics in all directions in the second quarter, this is not the fault of any one on the team, but everyone's reason, under the Celtics' sharp and purposeful offense and defense, the Kings are obviously powerless.

Coach Westphale sat silently on the side of the locker room, looking at his expression was obviously thinking something, for the big three of the Green Army who are full of firepower and in full form, conventional tactics obviously can't contain them, the three were the top superstars in the entire league at their peak, and now even if they are only half of the strength at their peak, all three of them will be a nightmare for all teams. Coupled with Rondo, a super point guard who is entering his prime, and a group of fierce role players who have been infected under the iron spirit of the Green Army, the Kings, who trailed by nearly 20 points at halftime, were obviously unlucky in the second half.

Coach Westafal can see that Tyrek led the team to a good record when the team's three main players were absent, and at the same time played his own historical personal data, and now the team's dependence on Tyrek is too great, once Tyrek falls into the opponent's strict defense, the team's offense is almost paralyzed. At the same time, Cousins has never found the feeling of the beginning of the season after returning to the court, and this game also did not play a star-level performance on the inside, not to mention the comparison with Garnett, and at most played the performance of Buss in the first half.

Coach Westphaal stood up, clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, bring up some energy, this is the first game of our eastern tour, don't be crippled by the opponent in the first game!" There are 3 Hall of Fame veterans on the other side, but they're so far worse than we are this season, and we don't have to be afraid of them when so many teams have beaten them! 3 old guys with an average age of nearly 36 years old, don't tell me you can't beat them! In the second quarter, the Celtics' targeted tactical system was completely beaten to the north, are you really weaker than them?! Show your fighting spirit and peel off a layer of skin from your opponent even if you lose! ”

At this time, what Coach Westfal can do is to boost the morale of the team, as long as the team rotates normally, Tyrek and Cousins can show containment at the same time, they are no worse than the Celtics, as the so-called boxing is afraid of less strength, after all, no matter how strong the Big Three of the Green Army are, they have reached the end of their careers......

Tyrek knew that he didn't play well in the second quarter, in the face of the Celtics' targeted defense, coupled with the strong impression left by the Green Army's Big Three in Tyreco's heart, Tyrek played a little decisively, and in the face of the Celtics with a glorious history, the mentality was a little weak, and the confrontation on the mental level on the court was also quite crucial.

The head coach spared no effort to motivate them, and as the leader of the team, Tyrek naturally had to lead by example, he stood in front of his teammates and said solemnly: "Brothers, I didn't play resolutely enough in the second quarter, I have a lot of responsibility to be pulled away, let's fight again in the second half!" We must make the playoffs this season, although we are now in 3rd place in the West, but the season is still long, our advantage is not obvious, there is no game we can give up! Although we are now 17 points behind, I believe that we are not without opportunities, in the second half Garnett and their three historical figures who are more than 10 years older than us will inevitably have problems with physical strength, form and so on, even if they have been strong, age is always an unavoidable weakness...... In the third quarter, play our strength! ”

"That's right! 3 fossil-level old guys, what can't be beaten, the game will not end until 48 minutes, I don't believe I can't prevent Paul, who is 12 years older than me. Pierce! I'm going to kill him! Jimmy was the first to respond, and he seemed very unconvinced that Pierce was scoring consecutive points on his head, and the only defense he could play at the moment was that he couldn't accept a twilight veteran.

"Tyrek is right, fight in the second half!"

"We are now the third in the West, and we can't look down on ourselves!"

"They were 17 points ahead of us at half and we will be able to come back in the second half!"

Everyone responded one after another, and it was clear that the morale of the team was mobilized.

As the second half of the game was about to begin and everyone was ready to return to the court, Terry stopped Cousins and said, "DeMarcus, you're the No. 1 center in the league of the future!" Bring out some of your real skills, or I'll think you're the opposite of Brandon. The standard of Bath ......"

With that, Terek patted Cousins on the shoulder and walked away.

"I'll be Brandon. Bass's level, Tyrek, don't underestimate Uncle Ben......" The arrogant Cousins didn't play well, but he couldn't stand being looked down on in person.

"Okay crowds, the game came back after halftime, the team led the visiting Kings by 17 points in the first half, the team had a clear advantage, and everyone watched the game easily in the second half...... "Tom. Heinsohn is clearly confident in the quality of the team.

"As Tom said, at the North Shore Garden Arena, with a 17-point lead at halftime, the Kings obviously had a hard time making waves, but let's see how they played in the second half......

However, at the beginning of the third quarter, the situation was not as optimistic as Heinsohn expected, and the Green Army Big Three was really as the Kings envisioned, which may be due to physical fitness, or it may be due to the poor continuity of the state due to age, and the performance in the third quarter did not continue to be strong in the second quarter, and the Celtics also began to replace the Big Three to give them a certain amount of rest. Bradley, Michael. Petrus came on one after another.

Bradley, now in his second year of career, has already earned a place with the Celtics, successfully entering the regular rotation, making good shots and being efficient, while his defense has also shown the Celtics the value of developing him.

French flyer Petrus joined the Celtics with a base salary, although the strength has degraded a lot now, but the convulsive three-point shot and fierce defense can still add some strength to the Celtics' bench lineup.

The second team of the Celtics is mainly defensive, and defense is indeed more important when the score is leading, but the Celtics' benches are obviously still far behind the Big Three in terms of ability, and the decline in offensive ability has also greatly reduced the defensive pressure on the Kings, and the Kings led by Tyrek are also giving the Celtics a heavy blow with a ferocious offensive at this moment!
