"As you should know, our next opponent in the next round is the Chicago Bulls, which is a strong opponent and we are facing a very serious situation." The day after the first round, Rick Pitino was in the arena and spoke very seriously to the Celtics.

"The Bulls have won two in a row, they are definitely aiming for three in a row, and for us, our only chance is that the Bulls are underwhelming, so we have to try to play every game. Every position of the bull, where you need to pay attention, I have prepared the documents for you to see. With that, assistant coach Doug Rivers handed out a pile of paper papers in his hand.

For the Bulls, Jonny is still very familiar, he probably took a look at this document, Jonny needs to pay attention to, on the one hand, Michael Jordan's offense, on the other hand, Scott Pippen and Michael Jordan's defense against him, but Jonny feels that this document is a bit of nonsense, who doesn't know to beware of Michael Jordan, who doesn't know that the Bulls' two outside core single defense is very good?

So Jonny just looked at it roughly and wasn't interested.

However, Jonny is quite worried about his teammates, and can Derrick Coleman shoulder the burden of sharing the pressure on Jonny's offensive end? Jonny doesn't have much confidence, Derrick Coleman has to face Dennis Rodman's defense, you know, this is not the regular season, in the playoffs, Dennis Rodman's defense will not be so careless. So what Derrick Coleman is about to face will be a more difficult dilemma to face in the first round.

As for the other players, they won't play much against the Bulls, and Jonny won't put his hopes on these players.

Jonny was a little helpless, it seemed that the predicament he had to face this season was much worse than last season. Last season, Jonny was surrounded by teammates such as Anfernee Hardaway and Dennis Scott, and when he switched to the Celtics, Jonny could rely on Derrick Coleman.

Or Big Ben and Bruce Bowen are also considered helps, but against a team like the Bulls, defenders of the level of Bruce Bowen and Big Ben. It's not very useful, after all, they can't make a player like Michael Jordan completely lose his form. And if they can't do that, then the Celtics don't need them much.

In the morning, the Celtics chose a tactical meeting, and in the afternoon began to practice specific tactics, such as the triangle tactics against the Bulls, and conducted a special training on rotational defense, hosted by Doug Rivers.

The role of Doug Rivers joining the Celtics is evident, and the Celtics do not have a complete defensive system. Because of the preparation for the playoffs, it is not appropriate to make too many changes to the defense. And a small adjustment in defense like this can be seen that Doug Rivers' skills are coming, at least Jonny feels that after such an improvement, the Celtics' overall defense is indeed a little tighter.

The afternoon training was over quickly, but after the session, Rick Pitino was back in the arena.

"Don't go back yet. We'll have a meeting in the evening and watch the video of the first round of the Bulls. You go to the restaurant to eat first, and then come here to meet after eating. ”

Obviously, the opponent in the next round made Rick Pitino also pay great attention to it, and he was ready to arrange every position of the Bulls overnight.

Jonny turned around and went to the team's cafeteria on the second floor of the arena, ate a very unpalatable nutritious meal, and hurried back to the first floor. Entered the video room. In the video room, Rick Pitino and several other assistant coaches had set up the video recorder and inserted the tape to see the game footage. The video room is where coaches often come and Johnny has been in the video studio for the first time after playing a season with the Celtics.

Soon. The teammates also came to the video room, and Rick Pitino said a few requests and began the recording.

"The game has started and we can see after the opening that the Bulls are the first to score, so let's take a look at their first shot." Because it was a self-recorded video of the game, there was no commentator's voice. And Rick Pitino also chose to personally explain the game, and he wanted to explain every representative goal of the Bulls in detail.

And the first goal was a very representative goal.

"We can see that it was Scott Pippen who got the ball, and he went inside, and with the help of Luke Langley's huge body, he shook off Larry Johnson, and then he did a little bit of a match with Michael Jordan and finally gave the ball to Michael Jordan, and Michael Jordan made a dunk that he couldn't stop."

"Actually, this is a triangular tactic, from this series of cooperation, what we can do, just like our previous arrangement, is to keep an eye on our own people. Our advantage is also mark-to-man defense, which we can't throw. ”

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the Celtics have finished watching the first game of the first round of the Bulls, of course, in some links, Rick Pitino chose to fast-forward, otherwise he can only watch one game at most in one night.

And at the beginning of the second game, some of the Celtic players in the audience couldn't help but exclaim.

"Wow! How can a bull be so strong? ”

"I can't prevent it at all! How does this hit!? ”

It turned out that at the beginning of the second game, the Bulls played a wave of 25:6 super attacks, which directly made the game lose suspense from the beginning. In fact, the first game between the Bulls and the Knicks was still very intense, and the second game became a one-sided game. The Bulls were in playoff form, and the game was out of suspense from the start.

Although the Celtics played this kind of performance against the Hornets, everyone knows how much water it can play like that. First of all, the Hornets' defense is far inferior to that of the Knicks, and secondly, the Celtics can play such an offensive wave, relying on Jonny's full play. And the Bulls are different, this wave of 25:6, Michael Jordan didn't make much effort!

The gap is huge, and by the playoffs, every team has upgraded their offense and defense, and the Bulls are the best of the bunch. Only won in the early 60s in the regular season, which is the lowest for the Bulls in three seasons, which also confuses many people and makes many people think that the Bulls are not good, and our chance has come!

But in fact, Michael Jordan was hiding his clumsiness, and Scott Pippen was also hiding his clumsy, and in the playoffs, they immediately showed their fangs and burst out with unbelievable strength.

This bull is indeed very strong.

Jonny of the crowd narrowed his eyes, the situation was very grim! (To be continued......)
