Ray Allen showed his gentlemanly demeanor: "I know what Lin said, and I will not respond to it. I will only tell him that his hatred of the Celtics should not affect me."
Media reporters were very disappointed with such a response.
But this is Ray Allen, and everyone knows that's what Ray Allen's style is.
Therefore, more reporters searched for other Celtics players.
Kevin Garnett is the one who has attracted the most attention from reporters. Regarding Lin Yu's harsh words, he only responded to the first paragraph: "I can only say that the one who wins will be the Boston Celtics!"
Regarding Lin Yu's resentment towards the Celtics, Kevin Garnett waved his hand and did not respond.
ESPN's Mark Stein believes: "The reactions of Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen just show that the Celtics were wrong in trading Lin Yu. As foreign stars, they are not willing to
I would like to be involved in a dispute of words."
Neither Ray Allen nor Garnett responded directly to Lin Yu, but several of Lin Yu's old teammates directly responded to Lin Yu's harsh words.
Paul Pierce said: "I'm going to let Lin know that it's easier to win if you work with me."
This is also a harsh word, but Lin Yu believes that this harsh word is clearly aimed at LeBron James, and he can feel James' current anger.
Tony Allen also stood up and responded to Lin Yu, which surprised Lin Yu but was also expected.
"What I must say is that Lin gave me a lot of guidance last season. He helped me grow rapidly. He has resentment towards the Celtics. I can understand it, but I play for the Celtics. Next time
In every game, I will teach him a lesson from the defensive end, and I will let him know that the Celtics with the Big Three are the real favorites to win the championship."
On December 23rd, Eastern Time, the Cavaliers played their last game before the Christmas Day game, against the Charlotte Bobcats.
In their third season as a team, the Bobcats are still in the lottery in the Eastern Conference, but they have made progress in the new season.
Gerald Wallace has gradually grown into a top striker with both offense and defense, but he is good at both offense and defense, and his offense is a little weaker.
Emeka Okafor, whose mind is not on basketball, has not made much progress, but he is still of great help to the Bobcats.
The improvement of Raymond Felton is also very important. Generally speaking, the Bobcats are no longer the worst team in the Eastern Conference. At least this season, the Knicks are much worse than them.
In this game, the Cavaliers easily won, winning two consecutive games before the Christmas game.
After the game, Mike Brown also made a less obvious harsh statement in an interview: "Next, we will win three consecutive victories. I hope there will be no surprises."
Winning three consecutive victories means that the Cavaliers will win against the Celtics.
Before the Christmas game, the Cavaliers will have two days of rest. This can be regarded as a small benefit from the league to those players who need to play during the Christmas holiday.
Only when they have enough rest time can they perform more brilliantly.
Cleveland, the Cavaliers have not yet left for Boston.
Mike Brown had compiled a summary of the last four games, and late at night, he held a coaching staff meeting.
Brendan Malone sits on his right and Phil Handy sits on his left, his right-hand man.
There's also offensive coach Gary Carr, shooting coach Rick Thompson, video editor Marcus Thorne...
"In the past four games, we have not played well because we lost a game with the Magic. Counting the previous losses to the Suns and Mavericks, we have lost three games in December. Of course, this does not mean that
Our record is terrible, on the contrary, our record is excellent, but in the next game, we have to win.”
"Losing games will give us the opportunity to summarize, while winning games can build our confidence. In the past week, I summarized several of the team's playing styles..."
Mike Brown is a coach who values defense. He helped the Cavaliers establish a solid defensive system, but offensively, he has only one set of tactics to give the ball to James and then break through and distribute the ball.
This season, the arrival of Lin Yu and Andre Miller has quickly enriched the Cavaliers' offensive tactics and routines.
"First of all, in the past four games, we can find that Lin and LeBron are cooperating more and more. In addition to our common LeBron breakthrough and passing the ball to Lin in November, in December, Lin's passing and organizing offense
He’s also starting to integrate into the team.”
"The cooperation between him and LeBron is usually Lin holding the ball at the top of the arc, and LeBron running back and forth from the bottom line. This style of play seems simple and crude, but it has won us many opportunities to score easily, so I decided that in the next game
game, increase Lin's ability to hold the ball at the top of the key, and allow his organization and support to be fully utilized."
"Secondly, on the outside, we have three ball-holding points, LeBron, Lin and Andre. This is a major advantage for us. A single LeBron breakthrough point is difficult to guarantee our offensive intensity, so in the next game,
We need to increase Andre's possession time and allow LeBron to appear more on the off-ball end."
The cooperation between Lin Yu and LeBron James allowed Mike Brown to see James' off-ball potential.
But he seemed to have overlooked one thing, and that was whether James was willing to use his off-ball potential. The fact that Lin Yu knew was that James was probably not willing.
In that time and space of the past life, there were always fans who complained about James for watching his teammates attack with his hands on his hips at halftime, and then were criticized for his poor ability without the ball.
James will stand up and refute: "James is very strong without the ball!"
Then posted a lot of animated pictures of James scoring goals without the ball.
From Lin Yu's perspective, he admitted that James has top-notch off-the-ball abilities, but James is a player who is unwilling to play off-the-ball, and his style of play requires the ball in hand.
Therefore, Mike Brown's tactical arrangements and layout seem to be doomed to failure.
But for the Celtics game, Mike Brown's tactical adjustments are still very targeted.
"Now the Celtics, the Big Three, have not yet formed a whole, and their offense is almost all about isolation. So on the defensive end, what we have to do is to guard one-on-one, with Lin going to guard Ray Allen and LeBron.
Guard Paul Pierce, Drew guard Kevin Garnett."
"On the offensive end, we must pay attention. The Celtics' defense has improved very quickly. This season, their defense has formed a system. As far as I know, Jeff Van Gundy's former assistant Tom Thibodeau has played a huge role.
Function, I have watched many Celtics games. Their defense is characterized by extremely fast defense and defense, with almost no opportunities in the mid-range and short-range. The only offense we can open may only be mid-range and long-range or outside the three-point line.
."
"In this case, Lin's role is very huge. In the next game, we must increase Lin's ball rights and shot rights."
