Chapter 310 War!

If you want to choose the home court you don't want to go to in the NBA, it is estimated that the Auburn Hill Palace Stadium in Detroit will be the first choice for many people, because the atmosphere here really makes people feel very uncomfortable.

It's not that the stadium is so shabby, and it's not that there are too many fierce physical conflicts here.

It's just a feeling, but you can't deny that the existence of Auburn Hill Palace is a very strong suppression for any opponent who comes to trouble, and it will make you feel very uncomfortable.

There are no big stars sitting on the sidelines to enjoy your performance, no gorgeous nightlife, only a high crime rate. This is the current situation in Detroit, although it used to be the most awesome arsenal in the United States decades ago.

But you can't deny the decline here, just like the U.S. economy, is sluggish, and the high unemployment rate is driven by instability. Detroit's population has also been reduced by one-third compared with its heyday.

"Auto City", Detroit may be most proud of the American auto manufacturing industry in the past hundred years.

The rise and fall of this city are inseparable from cars. The rise of cars, the rise of Detroit, the death of cars, the death of Detroit, and the rise of the Detroit Pistons are also inseparable from those tough blue-collar workers.

And those rough blue-collar workers are also the most difficult for the away team. A group of fans with a strong sense of existence can roar from an hour before the start of the game until the end of the game.

It may not be so crazy in the regular season, but once it reaches the playoffs, it is estimated that no team is willing to play away from Detroit, which often represents an inhuman torture.

Even the old goblins of the Spurs are not willing to provoke the savages in Detroit. You can imagine what kind of pressure Detroit's Auburn Hills Palace Stadium brings to the away team.

About Detroit's away trip, it's not the first time for the Celtics' wild kids. They have been here before, but now they are making a comeback. All they have to do is win.

It is still a noisy away atmosphere, but compared with Staples in Los Angeles and Madison Garden in New York, the noise of Auburn Hills Palace Stadium is more fierce, which belongs to the territory of Detroit blue-collar workers.

"Hey, bastards, you are not welcome here. Get out of here!" If someone takes the lead, someone will definitely echo, and it's not a little voice. It's the roar of more than 10,000 people in unison.

This is the most characteristic welcome ceremony in Detroit. More than 10,000 rough men are making demonstration gestures to you. If you dare to fight back, their response may become more fierce.

"When you come, just wait to lose! Just like last time, go home and find your mother!"

With such a roar, the Celtics warmed up on the Pistons' territory, but this sound is just an appetizer. When the game starts, it will be more fierce than this.

There are only blue-collar workers here. They are tough, fierce, full of dirty words, and demonstrate against you.

Detroit is not Los Angeles. There is no beautiful face here to smile at you. Even if there are women, their shouts may not be inferior to those men with fierce faces.

At the beginning, these guys smashed the gorgeousness of the Lakers F4 combination with this roar, but now, it's just a change of opponent. In Detroit, in Auburn Hill Palace, the Pistons are the most terrible.

This away atmosphere is not unique, but for any opponent, if you want to win the game in Detroit, you have to work harder, because your opponents will be very difficult to beat.

Most of the media and critics have already predicted that although the Celtics have shown strong strength when dealing with the Raptors, the Raptors are not Pistons, which is not an equivalent comparison.

As Murphy said, "Some teams, in the regular season, it is easy for you to ignore his existence, but in the playoffs, you should always remember that those guys will bite."

There is no doubt that the Pistons are such a team. He can follow many teams in the regular season, even if they are not the first in the East. As long as they can enter the playoffs, they will change immediately.

Look at how the Magic team was swept. The Raptors are completely restrained in their playing style, but the Pistons killed the Orlando, which shows a kind of high intensity that will only have in the playoffs.

It is very clear that the Pistons can stare at Howard for nothing and limit Nelson to play. As long as the Pistons enter the playoffs, they are the most terrible opponents.

Even if the Celtics can sweep the Raptors and meet such an eastern boss blocking the way in front of them, it is estimated that the prospect is not optimistic, and even Murphy maintains a relatively objective attitude.

As soon as they recovered, they reached the Eastern Conference Finals, which was very difficult. What's more, in the second round, when they met such a hard-line strong team as the Pistons, the Celtics wanted to go further and looked quite under pressure.

Even Mike Brown admitted after finally finishing the Nets that the Cavaliers would rather touch the Bulls than meet the Pistons too early. That standard hard bone is definitely not easy to nibble.

If you want to compete for the Eastern Conference to reach the finals, meet the Pistons later, the better. At least now the Cavaliers and the Bulls are happy to see the Celtics kick this iron plate.

Rivers knows this, and he also understands that waiting for his duel can't be as easy as the first round. The Detroit Pistons are not the Toronto Raptors, and they will not be so easily defeated by the Celtics.

You can trample the Raptors under your feet at will**, but when you meet the Pistons, the Celtics' role is a challenger. Can you overturn this eastern boss? In addition to strength, you also need enough luck.

The management of the Celtics did not put much pressure on the team to return to the playoffs from being at the bottom of the Eastern Conference last season, which is already considered to be overfulfilled by Rivers.

Being able to sweep the Raptors in the first round is the beginning of the Celtics' dominance in the Atlantic Division. The team's owner, Vic Grossbeck, has reason to believe that the team is making steady progress.

Before the team entered the second round, Vic Grossbeck talked to Angie about the team's transfer deal next season. As long as it can be settled, it can be started. Shareholders have no opinion.

This has shown the boss's attitude. You can let go this season. Next season, the team's lineup will be more integrated. As long as Angie doesn't think about it, the Celtics' framework will not break down.

And Auerbach's opinion plays a big role in this. According to the old man's words, even if you plant a tree, you need to give him time to grow, and the saplings will not become trees in one night.

This relatively loose environment is a luxury for any coach, but for the Celtics who have just come out of the ruins, it is definitely not a good choice to promote.

But Rivers admitted his cowardice before he planned to meet the Pistons. At least he can fight for four games. It is still uncertain who will live and who will die.

"I said before I came here that two away games are not to win one. If possible, I don't mind messing with them twice in a row." Rivers' opening remarks made a rare joke.

In fact, before the Celtics dealt with the Raptors, the fat guy studied with Thiberdeau. Unless there is a miracle, the confrontation between the Celtics and the Pistons is inevitable.

Although the opponent is not the time when Larry Brown reached the finals twice, the Pistons' rich playoff experience can definitely kill the Celtics in seconds.

There is no chance to compete for experience. The player's personal ability is also slightly superior to the other side, not to mention the technical and tactical system. Even if Sanders is not Larry Brown's old goblin, he will not be defeated.

Even if Sanders has been trying to make his own personal mark on the Pistons, no matter how much this guy tosses, the foundation of the champion team is still there, the overall structure has not changed much, and it is impossible to collapse easily.

Even if this guy is defeated, it is estimated that it will take two or three seasons to completely break up the Pistons. If this duel is delayed by two years, Rivers may be sure to be stronger than the opponent.

But now, the Celtics have no good countermeasures except for fighting. Instead of thinking about how to set an ambush for the other party, it is better to adjust their state in place.

Everything is at a disadvantage, so it's better to let go of the psychological burden and fight, only thinking about what you can do, not the final result.

Rivers is not fully sure that he can kill the Pistons, the first name in the East, but he can guarantee that even if his opponent wins, he will feel pain, so during the preparation period, he did not create any psychological burden on the players.

It's about playing lightly. Rivers also said in his last lecture before boarding the plane, "Now whether at home or away, if you can play your own level, it's a victory."

In the duel between masters, the insidious moves are rarely used. What he fights for is only strength. Whoever can withstand it is the winner. Rivers doesn't know if he can overturn his opponent, but he wants to try it.

With the same mentality, the animals of the Celtics can still smile in the face of the roar of more than 10,000 home fans, absolutely not smoking.

Afraid of an egg? It's all the same shoulder and a head. Can you be the reincarnation of the nine-headed worm? You son of a son of a fucker! Let you all shut up later!

Rivers's opening remarks in the locker room are to relax the wild kids under his command.

"Everyone has seen the atmosphere here. They don't welcome us. The reason is very simple, because these guys are afraid to see the final score, afraid that we will win in the end!"

"When people are afraid, they will roar loudly. You have heard the voices just now. They are afraid. If possible, I hope this voice can be infinitely amplified, just like their fear. When they realize that their shouts can't save the team, they will shut up. . "

"So, when you walk out of the locker room, use your hands to make them afraid and shut them up!"

The cadence of the sound was enough to make Rivers, the usually fat guy, mobilize everyone's emotions at the last moment. He slapped the blackboard hard, like a war drum for the army.

"I only have one request! Kill them! Even if this is Detroit, you have to kill those guys!"

"We are already the top four of the Eastern Conference, but this is definitely not the end. Just like stepping on the Raptors, go and kill the Pistons! Tell them by the score, who is the boss of the East!"

That's what has been said. In fact, Rivers no longer needs to add fuel and vinegar. Originally, the Celtics' wild kids were a group of tough lunatics, but now their nerves are excited enough.

"Ma, go up and kill them now!" There are leaders such as Pierce and Chen Feng. Even a creamy boy like Szebiak dares to beat the muscles of his chest and roared in a low voice.

For these wild guys who came out of Boston, the noise and boos outside are never pressure. The command ignites the excitement in their bones, which is an impulse to challenge the strong!

And they not only challenge the opponent, but also want to overturn the opponent to the ground! Is the boss of the East amazing? When it's time to deal with you, I won't be soft.

Don't accept it? Then come and fight! Let's see who can leave the Auburn Palace with victory, and who can advance to the next round!

(The night shift the day before yesterday, three people were critically ill and had to be rescued. They were busy all night. After work yesterday, I really couldn't stand it. When I came back and wrote less than a thousand words, I lay down on the edge of my notebook and fell asleep. I really didn't mean to break it. In recent days, the weather in Shenyang was very bad, sometimes cold and sometimes hot, and some old people's bodies couldn't stand it. Well, one after another, there are serious illness and final notices. There are many patients, fewer doctors, and they are exhausted... It's not to make excuses, but to say, well, you can choose to beat me... T_T)
