Doc on Pierce: 'He was a monster'
http://tinyurl.com/89kmfm6
Celtics coach Doc Rivers praised his captain Paul Pierce for carrying a
monumental load in Boston's 87-80 win over the Hawks in Game 2 Tuesday night
in Atlanta. Pierce scored 36 points and hauled down 14 rebounds in 44 minutes
to pick up the slack for the suspended Rajon Rondo.
"He was a monster," Rivers said of Pierce. "He was great. His leadership, his
intensity. In the third, I thought he was getting tired. We had him scoring
and guarding Joe Johnson, and I just thought that was too much of a load for
us to win the game at the end of the game. That's why we went smaller. So,
Marquis and [Pietrus] could guard him, and Paul could kind of get rest
defensively so he would have some energy offensively. But his leadership was
absolutely terrific."
*河流形容PP的好表現簡直像怪物一樣！非常了不起，在在顯現了他的領導能力和強度。
PP肩負了得分與防守Joe Johnson的任務，疲累在所難免，Marquis和Pietrus能更多
擔待些的話，PP才能有時間喘息一下，PP的領導在這場比賽顯得太重要了。
Rivers credited the team with picking up the slack for the suspended Rondo
early on. Pierce scored Boston's first nine points and hit his first four
shots.
"I told our guys it was just a team win," Rivers said. "You can pick out so
many different little things that every single guy on the floor did for us.
That's how you grind out wins. That's who we are.
*河流告訴球員這是團隊的勝利，球場上每個球員為球隊付出的，所有人都清楚感受到，
那就是我們為什麼要如此努力，那就是我們。
"This team has done it all year. We've won games without Rondo, without Paul.
This is a tough-minded basketball team. I do think having the veterans like
Keyon and Marquis and Sasha allows for that. We knew paul Paul had to get
going early. You could see our first seven plays, it was Paul Pierce left,
right, center. Obviously, it's a make-miss league and the ball had to go in.
I thought after that, didn't know if we'd win or lose, I knew we had a shot."
Pierce also pulled off some on-court dramatics when he "Tebowed" after a made
free throw late in the fourth quarter.
"I didn't know he did," Rivers said. "You caught me off guard. I didn't see
it. I missed it but if he did it, that's terrific. I wish he hadn't done it
but I haven't seen it."
*河流表示：「我居然沒看到PP的沉思祈禱.............」
