Xie Hou played the whole first quarter.

After three minutes of rest, I was forced to come up by the Celtics' fanatical second team, and I played the rest of the quarter.

However, Xie Hou played 21 minutes in the first half and the situation of the game did not improve.

The Celtics' offensive system is more mature than imagined. Doug Rivers is an underrated coach who can play anything no matter what card he is given.

Originally, the Celtics wanted to form a iron-blooded army with a traditional eastern style.

Garnett couldn't come, and when Stoudemire came, they immediately changed their strategy and turned the Celtics into a gorgeous offensive performance team that was biased towards the Western Conference.

Defensive wins the championship, this sentence has been circulating in the 1960s.

But the Phoenix Suns and Dallas Mavericks in the past two years have at least proved that offense can allow the team to play a good record. As long as the offense is maintained, excellent offensive teams can at least have the prospect of the semi-finals of the playoffs.

The Celtics worked in this direction and then found that they were in a surprise relationship.

They insist on convincing people with “truth”;

The three points of “Jesus” are forever fatal;

The "Little Overlord" is willing to become a blue-collar worker in the system. After giving up part of the ball and strengthening defense, the team officially set off.

Rajon Rondo, Kendrick Perkins, Deronti West, James Percy, PJ Brown, Eddie House, Brian Scara Bryan... One of the most distinctive features of this team is that the bench is free of waste. No one can stand up and play.

In the difficult first half, the Bostonian showed his muscles to the Pacers with her pure strength.

58 to 40

At the end of the half, the Celtics had an 18-point lead.

Speaking of the team's performance, Rivers calmly said: "It is not the time to be complacent. The Pacers are affected by injuries and are not in a state of disarray, but they are still strong because the strongest man is still in the team. As long as he picks up the ball, everyone will be worried about being afraid."

Rivers' words can taste different flavors after savoring them.

"Is Doug hinting about something? 'When he picks up the ball, everyone will be worried about being scared'. Even he thinks that the Pacers' method is unreasonable now." McGuinness was anxious to see Xie Hou fight with the Celtics to the death, and even Claire didn't let it go. "I don't know what they are still stubborn."

Leonard looked at this incident in reverse: "Looking at it from another perspective, if the Pacers still don't hand the ball to Arthur, it means they still have the strength to do it."

"There is another possibility, that is, they decided to go to the end on a wrong path." McGuinness's dissatisfaction with the Pacers' lineup arrangement was heartfelt. "I don't understand why Coach Claire took Arthur's ball rights? Did he really think that the three flags above the Banker Life Stadium were obtained through team and selflessness? Forget it, without Arthur, there was no side!"

Leonard smiled bitterly and reminded: "George, have you forgotten the flag we won together?"

"That's what it counts?"

"Of course! It is also important to remember history."

"Okay, I'm wrong."

McGuinness’s resentment is actually the resentment of the majority of fans.

He did not allow Xie Hou to play the best position and even greatly reduced his ball rights. Fans were more used to seeing him grab most of the ball rights alone than Xie Hou's teammates.

For this reason, the pressure Claire is unimaginable to ordinary people. If you want to continue along this path and fail in the end, all the responsibility will be on the head coach, that is, him.

At that time, Xie Hou, who was determined to play as a power forward, would not admit any responsibility, and the price Claire had to pay for this would not be compensated by leading the team to win three "world championship flags".

Claire's arrangement had no doubt about the impact on the game. He drew an "X" to the blank tactical board.

"Our tactics so far have failed!"

“As of the first half, we were not a good team, or even a team that seemed to have won the championship!”

"You once had a great temperament, but it disappeared! The Bostonians broke through Indiana and showed their power on your territory, and you were indifferent and let them do it, which is a shame!" Crane shouted, "The champion will never be slaughtered!"

After all, Claire couldn't withstand the pressure from the outside world. He shouted to Xie Hou: "Arthur, it's time to take your responsibility!"

"In the second half, you will be the starting guard!"

"Who is our power forward?"

Claire's hesitation for a few seconds showed the Pacers' biggest dilemma at this moment.

"Andre!" said Claire, "he can play power forward!"

"If Andre was our power forward, our goal loss speed would probably be faster than the scoring speed, and we would not be able to fill the gap of 18 points." Xie Hou looked at Brachi, "Sorry Andre, this is the fact."

Blachi responded numbly: "That's right..."

"Coach, the sun has set." Xie Hou's voice was soft, and he didn't argue anything.

Such a tone does not seem to affect the head coach's prestige, but he is indeed doing something that will seriously weaken the coach's prestige.

"But it will always break dawn," Xie Hou said. "If we give up at this time, our previous efforts will be wasted. The coaching staff's more than a dozen meetings, my determination and the enthusiasm of others will be shattered, just for the success or failure of a game? Besides, we haven't lost yet, and we still have a chance in the second half."

Claire's face kept changing in the not-bright dressing room.

Even the most brilliant actor in the world cannot interpret Claire's expression that constantly changes in just a dozen seconds.

He made the decision to let Xie Hou play the fourth position.

He guided Xie Hou here. Now, he couldn't withstand the pressure from the outside world and wanted to return to the same. Unfortunately, things were no longer something he could control.

The Pacers are not his team, not his team, but the Simon Brothers. But the Simon Brothers do not care about internal affairs, so as long as he waits for a day and as long as he is still the "King Arthur" known to the world, the Pacers are his team.

His never interferes with the team's affairs does not mean that he is not able to do so.

He never contradicts Claire, which does not mean that he does not have this weight.

"FXXX!" Claire whispered heavily.

"OK!" Claire demarcated Xie Hou's position, "In the second half, Arthur continued to play the fourth position, Jeff, control your foul, Theo, I hope you understand who is our core! We are 18 points behind, and we have to fight in every round. Now no one believes that we are the champion contenders. The prestige we have played in the past four years has been turned into powder, and all confidence has been broken - now, let's reshape it!"

After hearing Claire's motivation, the team members rushed out of the locker room with chicken blood.

Only Claire, who stood there helplessly, looked weak and helpless.

"I thought coaching Arthur was an easy thing, obviously, I was wrong." Chief Point Thibodeau quipped.

"You are right, but not 100% correct." Claire exhaled gently, "It's easy to coach Arthur. This sentence is 95% correct. The 5% error is that when what I want to do conflicts with what he wants to do, I have to obey his will until he fails, or... witness his success."

Thibodeau comforted: "There is a Chinese saying, "Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger" (Chinese). It means that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger. Fortunately, Arthur is a docile king and a good king."

Claire has no power to do with what is about to happen and what is bound to happen all the time.

He took the baggage thrown by Thibodeau and joked: "For the outside world, he is a fierce and ruthless tiger."

"Of course, Dallasians, San Antonios, Detroits... Oh my God, fans all over the world have seen how cruel he is." The two of them said, and the whispers that were originally complaining that "serving super giants is not easy" actually turned into a "blame thanks meeting" again.

Due to the dispute in the locker room, the Pacers only had three minutes left to warm up after returning to the court.

Many people are recalling what happened in the locker room, and many people have never seen such an argument.

Most players, as long as they are not the kind of manic that is easily out of control, will not have the chance to argue with the head coach in their careers. In other words, most people do not have the courage or qualifications.

That is the star's privilege.

Although Xie Hou's tone was gentle, and the conversation with Claire remained stable and "convinced with reason" tone, it was a quarrel. He disobeyed Claire's order in public and did something that greatly disappointed the head coach's prestige.

This head coach has been carrying him and defending him everywhere since he entered the NBA, and he will be touted by him in every press conference.

"Do you think I've gone through some of it?"

During the warm-up, Xie Hou asked Papalucas.

"I'm imagining you to the old man (Abersovsky)." Papalucas said lightly.

Thinking of that scene, Xie Hou's back felt cold.

He really dared not do such a thing to the "old man", just like he would never have a quarrel with his parents.

Some people will always be placed in the highest position and cannot be offended.

He offended Claire, but he did not regret it. If he didn't do it now, he would do it in the future. He had already expressed his ideas in private before, and now he has expressed his attitude in public again. Both sides have no way out. Claire will bear much more pressure than him. Who said he was the head coach?

The players are fighting to the death on the court, and it is appropriate for the coaching staff to bear some pressure.
