"Tracy, this isn't the first time I've told you today, I need you to luck the ball, you need to lead your teammates"

On the bench of the Boston Celtics in the North Shore Garden, the head coach of the Boston Celtics Zhuang Fei looked at the boss of his team Maddie helplessly and said coldly, and at this time, the other Boston Celtics players were a little down their heads and did not dare to look at Zhuang Fei, although Zhuang Fei did not train them now, but this group of Celtics players did not dare to show other looks, and this time Zhuang Fei's angry protagonist, the team's boss Maddie, stood in front of Zhuang Fei with his head down, his hands clenched into fists, The boss of the Boston Celtics seems to be a little depressed now, he is really unhappy in this game, and it can even be said that he is completely different from the brain-like players of the previous Boston Celtics this year, which is the most important reason why the Boston Celtics staged a hard battle in this game.

At the beginning of this game, the Boston Celtics fell into a hard battle, the 76ers played very active in this game, and it was completely impossible to see that this was a team that was almost one-sided in the pre-game prediction that there was no hope for it, compared with the active and brave 76ers, the Boston Celtics in today's game were a little abnormal, at the end of the first quarter of the game, the Boston Celtics actually fell behind by five points at 22-27 on their home court, although after entering the second quarter of the rotation in this game, The Boston Celtics quickly caught up with the score, but even so, the Boston Celtics still trailed the 76ers by five points at halftime, 46-51.

Maddy's attack today is very strong, it can be said that he was completely angered by Ragabel, who was opposite him, the 76ers' former Wake Forest University disciple of Zhuang Fei successfully angered Jordan last season, and also successfully defended Jordan in the first two games, Jordan has been playing here enjoying the game since his comeback, and he was able to force the Jordan god who had been enjoying the game to almost fight with him on the court. It can be said that since Ragabel left Wake Forest and came to the 76ers, this player has been developed quite well by Larry Brown.

Even Jordan, who has always been indifferent, is very difficult to maintain his mentality when he encounters the 76ers defender, and today's game is conceivable for Maddy.

When the game was officially suspended in the first quarter, Zhuang Fei specially instructed Maddie to keep calm, in fact, Maddie did a very good job for a period of time after that, in Maddie's opinion, Zhuang Fei's words must be listened to, but it is a pity that when the game continued, in the face of Ragabel's provocation, the swingman of the forward guard was not calm again, it can be that the leading player of the Boston Celtics completely fell into the trap of Ragabel in this game, and even couldn't extricate himself, Even if he knew that this was a trap, even if Zhuang Fei repeatedly reminded him that it was a trap, this guy would still involuntarily step in, and even at halftime in this game, Zhuang Fei even didn't say a word in the locker room of the Boston Celtics team for the first time, but let all the players of the Boston Celtics stay quietly, and then slowly calm down.

Maddie is the brain and leader of the team, when Maddie is impatient in this game, the Boston Celtics will naturally be impatient, in this case, Maddie alone actually determines the rhythm and style of this team's game, for the Celtics, even if Zhuang Fei says more in the locker room at this time, as long as the execution has not arrived, then it is useless to say more, so Zhuang Fei is to let these Celtics players who were worn by Maddie calm down.

It's just that Zhuang Fei was extremely disappointed that Maddie, who had cooled down all the halftime breaks, also took the Celtics to play a few good games after the start of the third quarter, but soon, Maddie fell into the trash talk and trap compiled by Ragabel again, and naturally, the Boston Celtics game was difficult again.

This is also the game only after three minutes of play in the third quarter, Zhuang Fei hurriedly shouted a timeout, directly under the gaze of more than 20,000 Celtics fans at the North Shore Garden Arena and scolded the Celtics players, after entering the NB, Zhuang Fei basically did not do such a thing on the side of the court, although now the game between the Boston Celtics and the 76ers has not yet reached the critical moment of separating the winner and loser, but this game is played at this time Zhuang Fei does not want these players to continue like this, Especially I don't want my team's leading players to go on like this again.

"Coach, I know, I will find myself again in the next game" After being reprimanded by Zhuang Fei, Maddie, who had been keeping her head down, slowly raised her head and then looked at Zhuang Fei with a serious face and said, but after Zhuang Fei took a deep look at his disciple, he shook his head, because in Zhuang Fei's eyes, the eyes of the current Celtic master player are still full of anger, and his hands are clenched tightly, even his chest is undulating abnormally, Obviously, this player still has a strong anger in his heart, but he is just pressed under Zhuang Fei's reprimand.

"Tracy, you haven't understood yet, you watch this game from the bench first, first see how your teammates perform, I hope you can control your personal emotions after watching it" Finally, Zhuang Fei glanced at Maddy, and when he said this decision, the other Celtics players, including Maddy, looked at Zhuang Fei in surprise. It's just that Zhuang Fei's attitude was extremely resolute at this time, and after Zhuang Fei made this decision, the short timeout was over, and when these Boston Celtics players came on the court, Arenas replaced Maddie.

was replaced by the head coach directly after playing 3 minutes in the third quarter, not to mention that it is difficult to accept a superstar like Maddie, even the average main player must be extremely unhappy when encountering such a thing, so Maddie's current mood is conceivable, the Boston Celtics leader player is really too aggrieved in this game, and the flames that were stimulated by Ragabel on the court can't be vented, and now he is directly thrown aside by his most respected head coach. The face of the Celtics leader who is now sitting on the bench is extremely embarrassed, if it weren't for Zhuang Fei standing in front of him, the Boston Celtics small forward might really drop something, but even if the small forward doesn't have too much aggressive initiative, but in such an atmosphere, the emotions of other Celtics players on the Boston Celtics bench are also affected by Maddy's current mood.

As a team leader player, many times his personal emotions are the emotions of a team, just like when the Lakers were very young, they have always been a slow and lazy team because of Ao Fat, and the Spurs have always been an extremely cautious team because of Duncan, and even Zhuang Fei's Timberwolves, also because of Garnett and Pierce, so it has always been an extremely resilient team, even when the Timberwolves are extremely immature, they can force a Spurs appointment to a desperate situation. It's just that compared to such a leader, Maddie has not been doing very well now, and perhaps it should be said that it has never been better.

Zhuang Fei is not against a player having his own personality and character, players like Carter, Duncan and Garnett and Pierce are players with extremely prominent personalities, compared to the NBA, not everyone is a player like Nash, but for Zhuang Fei, the most unbearable thing for him is that the player is forced to increase the team because of his own personal emotions, just like Maddie now, he is very uncomfortable with Ragabel's provocation in this game, he needs to vent, he needs to find it back in Ragabel, There is nothing wrong with this, if it is just that, Zhuang Fei not only will not think that Maddie is doing something wrong, but can even think that the Boston Celtics player is very responsible.

It's just that Maddie did something wrong, not to take the interests of the Boston Celtics to satisfy his own pleasure, he beat Ragabel on the court, but this is definitely a disservice to the Celtics, just like last year's playoff Wizards lost two games in a row in the face of the 76ers, Jordan was also blinded by hatred at the time and sacrificed the interests of the Wizards to satisfy his own duel with Ragapel, but in the Wizards, no one can care about Jordan or pour cold water on Jordan, So I can only wait for when Jordan will cool down by himself. Luckily for the Wizards, Jordan was able to return to normal after only two game defeats.

As for Maddie, Zhuang Fei won't give him a few games to go crazy, D'Antoni doesn't dare to do anything to Jordan, but Zhuang Fei can do something to Maddie now.

"Tracy, if you can't calm yourself down, you don't have to play this game again" Finally, Zhuang Fei glanced at Maddie, who was still resentful on the bench, and said coldly, then looked at the court again.

And when Zhuang Fei finished saying this, Maddie's face changed again, and finally took a deep breath again, it seems that this player is extremely concerned about Zhuang Fei's words, at least for every word Zhuang Fei said, he believes that this coach is true to his word, so in order to be able to find Ragabel on the court again, the small forward finally put away the evil gas just now, when Maddie put away his evil anger, The substitute players of the Boston Celtics on the bench were also obviously relieved, and there was no longer the extremely tense atmosphere just now

"What a surprising decision, Coach Z actually replaced the tactical core of the team? Is it rare that this player did something wrong on the pitch? I think Maddie did a good job in this game, he reminds me of Shaq in the finals last season, when Shaq performed the same as this guy against Olajuwon, if I remember correctly, Coach Z and Phil Jackson played a triangle attack, although Maddie had more individual offense in this game, but it can be regarded as a tactical requirement."

Barkley, who was on the commentary bench, saw Maddie sitting on the bench after the timeout, and said with some puzzlement, for the former legendary player, although he may not have much tactical cultivation, but he still understands the triangle offense of the old rival Bulls, for this legendary player, the triangle offense is to put the ball in the hands of players like Jordan and Ao Fat and let them solve the problem by themselves. This would have been a tactic that completely encouraged individual offense. So he didn't agree with Zhuang Fei's substitution, as for the Boston Celtics' backwardness in this game, he was more willing to believe that it was because of the poor performance of other players, Maddie had scored 25 points on 10-of-19 shooting in a little more than two quarters in this game, which can be said to be extremely good. This is also the reason why he mentioned Ao Fat when talking about Maddie, because Ao Fat was the same as Maddie in the finals last year, but at that time, Ao Fat beat Olajuwon, and it was the Grizzlies who won in the end.

Maybe that's where this tactical contradiction lies, like you said, he's very similar to Shaq's Finals last season, when Coach Z wouldn't allow the Celtics to have the same result as the Lakers last season," Kenny Smith said with some thought after hearing Barkley's doubts, and the former Rockets legend also didn't understand this extremely contradictory tactic.

"It's obviously a selfish tactic, but in the end it is really confusing to ask the players who implement this tactic not to be selfish, no wonder Michael was so painful at the beginning" In the end, Barkley also sighed and focused on the game again.

Zhuang Fei's decision to replace Maddie is very abrupt, at least for the 76ers' head coach Collins, the 76ers' head coach was a little worried after seeing Maddie go off the court, if he could, he didn't mind Maddie being powerful against his team, as long as the team could win, but after Zhuang Fei changed the formation, it was obvious that everything needed to start over, and he didn't know what the Boston Celtics could do in the future.

Just when everyone was about to see that the Celtics were attacking and defending this time without Maddy, the 76ers player Iverson on the court took the ball at the top of the arc, and a big cross shook off James Posey and went to the basket, and soon the Celtics' defense was compressed by Iverson, but to everyone's surprise, the 76ers did not attack directly as before, and the player immediately threw the ball out when he came to the free throw line and was about to be surrounded. And Ragabel, who was ambushed on the right foot, hit a three-point shot directly after receiving a pass from Iverson.

To the surprise of everyone in the audience, the player actually shook his head and made a strange move to the Boston Celtics bench after shooting three points, and at this time, Maddy, who was on the bench, was already cooling down a little and his mood was hot again.

"Tracy, sit back"

Just when Maddie wanted to get up and go to the court to kill, in Zhuang Fei's cold tone, the Celtics' leading player could only sit back again after gritting his teeth and glancing at Ragabel a few times.

It's just that at this time, the Celtics' leading player has completely lost the intention of trying to stabilize his mood just now, and the Celtics' leading player can now breathe fire in his eyes, and he has been staring at the 76ers defender on the court. It's just that at this time, Zhuang Fei didn't care about the team's leading player after scolding Maddie, because now Zhuang Fei has completely focused his attention on the court. It has proven to be a game that was not as simple as it was predicted.

"Now it seems that the Boston Celtics and the 76ers are still a little difficult to distinguish on the court, after Ragabel shot that three-point just now, the 76ers stretched the difference to 8 points, but what is surprising is that after Maddy got off the court, the Celtics were not too chaotic, and even began to slowly chase the score again, especially the Chinese big man, no one in the 76ers could restrain him, and similarly, no one could stop Jermaine" When Ragabel shot that bottom three-point game restarted, Celtic quickly took control of the initiative on the court, and after Arenas replaced Maddie, the Celtics looked actually stronger. This also surprised Barkley a little.

"Maybe Coach Z is right, when you have a group of teammates like this, you need to do more than just one person with the ball, the Boston Celtics players are very good, they are very reassuring," Kenny Smith said after listening to Barkley's words.

And at this time, when the first official timeout in the second half of the game, the Celtics, who had been suppressed by the 76ers, chased back the eight-point difference within four minutes after Maddy left the game, which also relieved the more than 20,000 Celtics fans who had been worried about the game.

It's just that at this time, it is obvious that Celtics fans are relieved, but 76ers head coach Collins is worried.

"Now it seems that there is a real gap between the two teams, maybe Iverson should need a stronger performance now"

During the first official timeout of the second half, Barkley said with some meaning as he watched the 76ers players go off the court.

At this time, Maddie, who was on the bench, looked at the Celtics players coming down from the court and was a little embarrassed.

He was slapped in the face by his own teammates. (To be continued)
