Chapter 311 Copper Wall and Iron Wall
After the second round of the playoffs, there are actually not many secrets to talk about. Everyone knows how many pounds the other party has. This kind of frontal impact is pure strength. The opportunistic method is unreliable.
Four duels, if you can really sneak up, can you still sneak up four times in a row? Is it true that the teams that enter the semi-finals are all decorations? At least he has played 82 games in the regular season, and he knows who is the bottom line.
Although there may be one or two uncertainties, like Robert Horley's big heart killer, most of the confrontations are still limited to conventional weapons.
If your main lineup doesn't even have the ability to drag it to the decisive moment, what other tricks are there?
Just like the Raptors, there are still several pitchers ready, but they don't give these pitchers any decent opportunities to kill? The Celtics' animals come up and beat you. You can't take care of yourself. Do you still want to kill? In the fourth quarter, it took more than ten points to kill your grandma in less than a few minutes!
This kind of thing is left to those teams that can fight to the last minute, but whether they can succeed or not depends on luck, but the strength of both sides must be fought first.
Rivers knows how difficult the Pistons are. Although his opponent is Sanders, not Larry Brown's old demon, according to the current Pistons team, it is really difficult for the Celtics to win.
So Rivers doesn't plan to bury any foreshadowing. To deal with this kind of playoff team that will not make mistakes easily, you can only calm down and fight with your opponents little by little to see who will not lose his rhythm.
There is no cover, and there is no coincidence. The five starters thrown directly by Rivers are the strongest lineup. Pierce, Jefferson, Chen Feng, Spreville and Garondo, that posture is about to fight.
"Remember, don't think about what kind of Eastern Conference semi-finals this is, and don't think that if you win the opponent, you can make it to the finals. Think of it as Toronto and beat the guys opposite you!"
Walking out of the locker room and watching the Pistons' debut ceremony provoke the crazy shouts of the fans in the field, Rivers was not affected by anything. Instead, he gave an order to the guys under him. Go up and attack me fiercely!
"Head, what you said is easy. Those guys are the top names in the east, and this is still other people's territory. As a man, you have to keep a low profile, and you can't inform them loudly before hitting people."
"Black boxing should be done quietly, otherwise the effect will be much worse." Rivers has nothing to say about this slippery guy around him. Any game will not make him nervous.
Since killing the Raptors, the wild boy has been holding his strength. Now he bumps into the piston head-on, as if he has fulfilled his wish. Everyone else will be nervous, but this boy will never.
Even in the locker room, Chen Feng belongs to the kind of fierce role of waiting to fight with others. He expects such a small battle outside to frustle this animal. Isn't that bullshit!
You should know that before coming to Detroit, when Auerbach came to see the training, others were pretending to be respectful. Even Pierce did not dare to be lazy, but this boy dared to go over and hook up with the bishop. At that time, Rivers' cold sweat was all along his forehead. Flowing.
What kind of guy is this guy who has this courage? He is not big or small with the cardinal? But Chen Feng himself doesn't feel that it's a matter at all, so don't measure this animal with normal people's thinking!
Even the loud shouts outside echoed in his ears, and Chen Feng could still deal with it calmly. For him, this roar to his opponent was like a stimulant, crazily stimulating his adrenal glands.
In the semi-finals, the fierce opponent, all this is what Chen Feng longs for. The confrontation with Bosh is far from making Chen Feng feel excited. Only a stronger confrontation can make him burst out a stronger fighting spirit!
Rivers beside Chen Feng can also feel that the wild boy's tight muscles are beating wild energy that can burst out at any time. When this beast is released, it is designated as a very lethal weapon.
The Celtics' tactics have been ready for a long time. Before playing, what Rivers can explain is to let these wild guys relax and wrestle with the eastern boss.
Chen Feng and Jefferson's task is very simple. It is to hold the basket, hold the ball on the opponent's inside line, prevent the opponent's pass, cut and disassembly from playing too easily, and create trouble for the Pistons as much as possible.
Rondo and Billups are at a downside no matter what they look at, so the task given to him is to ensure the connection between the internal and external lines, cut in appropriately, and disrupt the opponent's defense.
The playoff experience of these three little guys is relatively weak. As for Pierce and Sprewell, there is no need to worry about Rivers, especially the latter, which is completely an old-fashioned style.
Originally, the insider Xibodu was more inclined to Weber to start. Whether it is partnering with Jefferson or Chen Feng, Weber can be competent, and in this noisy environment, his performance will be more stable.
In fact, Rivers planned to do so at the beginning, but finally gave up. The Pistons' strength is defense, and there are many coolos in the inside. Weber will face a strong impact when he starts.
Instead of letting a veteran charge into the battle, it's better to let Jefferson and Chen Feng carry it on the inside. The two little boy's physique is strong enough, hand-to-hand combat and so on. They are not afraid at all.
As for Weber, let him find the opponent's gap in the rotation time, and use his dexterity and overall view to instigate the attack of the whole team. This is the ability that Rivers needs him most.
At the beginning of the game, Rivers is more inclined to fight with the Pistons' bayonet. This is the opponent's home court, but why not play the opponent?
If you play for 48 minutes according to the Pistons' style, the only one who will be killed in the end can be the Celtics, and it is not the habit of Rivers to compete with a strong opponent.
Anyway, it has been encountered, so play harder and let the boss of the East also see the fierceness of the Celtics. Losing here last time does not mean that it will still be the same result this time.
At least Rivers and his wild guys didn't come to lose and kill the Raptors. They had the ambition to break through the second round, but Rivers didn't want to predict the result for the time being.
The Celtics can already be regarded as the elite. At least the strongest lineup of this season has been set out. How is the effect? We have to wait for the next 48 minutes to see.
Compared with the relaxed mentality of the Celtics, Sanders, who plays at home, is much more cautious. Before the start of the playoffs, this guy said that he didn't want to bump into the Celtics too early.
Sanders is not a cunning role, but the pressure on him to take over the Pistons is the glory left by his predecessor. If he wants to erase Larry Brown's influence in Detroit, he can only hope for the championship.
But Ben Wallace's departure and the aging of the player structure have awakened Sanders. Although the Pistons' competitiveness is still there, he is a little confused about whether he can go back to the finals to fight.
If it goes well on the way to promotion in the East, maybe it will achieve the hope of the finals.
In the late regular season, Sanders has been wondering whether he is going to meet the Heat. As a result, in the last seven or eight rounds, those Miami people are really cheating, that is, all kinds of losses.
As a result, the Pistons failed to collide with the Heat in the downturn. Instead, they met the most difficult opponent. A team like the Pistons did not want to be entangled with the Celtics.
The collision of the regular season has proved that these Bostonians are a group of screaming beasts. They almost overturned in the ditch at home. Sanders has not forgotten Chen Feng's impact on them.
If you meet this group of animals crawling out of the ruins so early, as long as you have brains, you can know what these guys want, and the Pistons have to pay if they want to win.
The fight with the Celtics is definitely not in line with Sanders' expectations at the beginning of the season. At least he doesn't want to spend a lot of energy in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Don't forget that the opponents in the East also have the Cavaliers and the Bulls.
Even if the Celtics are eliminated, this attrition will definitely hurt the Pistons, but by this time, Sanders has no choice but to complain about the poor power of the Heat.
However, compared with the lineup of both sides, Sanders' mood can still be stabilized. At least this is at home. More than 10,000 fans are shouting for themselves, and there is also an experienced player under him.
The Celtics are elite, and Sanders is basically the main force. At home, the Pistons don't want to usher in a door. We must be cautious when dealing with these Boston lunatics.
Who knows what the bald boy will go crazy this time? Maybe it's a big trouble. Sanders doesn't want to hear the boos of home fans, so this guy has always been very careful.
Even when he led by a 3:0 score in the first round, Sanders did not dare to be sloppy against the magic team that lost morale, and has been playing with the opponent with the full main lineup.
This time is no exception. Rashid Wallace, Dale Davis, Prince, Hamilton, Billups, all five starters, especially in the inside, focusing on two big men.
He is in the Eastern District with the Celtics and has a fierce experience of fighting. Sanders knows too well where the opponent's offensive focus is. He can risk Rashid Wallace to entangle with Chen Feng, but he is afraid that this boy will go crazy like the first confrontation and disturb the defense system of the whole Pistons. In that case, it's better to restrain the boy at the beginning, make him have no energy, and minimize the lethality.
No matter what others think, from the beginning of the game, Sanders has prepared the hardest copper wall for Chen Feng and the Celtics. The Detroit tradition will continue here...
(Okay, the second chapter is atonement, and it will continue tomorrow... Pray that my AC Milan can win the game at night... It can't really be a trap. At least it's the Red and Black Army. At least I've liked you for almost ten years! Don't play like this!)
