Chapter 313 Siege and annihilate!
Many people know that the collision between the Celtics and the Pistons will not be so simple. Two teams with extremely tough styles will fight in the Eastern Conference semifinals. In any case, it will not be a calm situation.
Moreover, both teams swept their opponents in the first round, and then rested for a long time. Now there is no problem in physical fitness. If you play seven games, you can completely support it.
More people will still think that this is a confrontation between who makes fewer mistakes, and the Pistons, who have an advantage in this, will not be easily overturned by a novice like the Celtics.
If you really compare the playoff experience, the Pistons must be the Celtics, which is not a little suspense.
Murphy also bet with Xie Miaomiao before the game that this game may be very dull, and the score will not be very high, which is fully in line with the Pistons' playoff performance in recent years, that is, to grind you to death in the battle.
"In the regular season, they lost less than 92 points per game, ranking first in the Eastern Conference. Only the defense of the Spurs can compare with them. When you meet this group of guys, if you want to score more than 100 points, it is simply a difficult problem."
"And once they enter the playoffs, their defensive strength will be improved by a level. Looking at what happened to the Magic team, you can know that these guys are fully capable of strangling any team's attack."
Although Murphy doesn't want to advocate anything for his opponent, the data is there. The second place in the defensive efficiency of the regular season league. In the first four games of the playoffs, he averaged less than 90 points per game. With this result, no matter who encounters the Pistons, it will have a headache. Even if it's the Spurs, I guess they don't want to collide with the Pistons. Go up.
Now the Celtics are unavoidable. Can you take a piece of meat from this group of Detroit people? Murphy doesn't dare to make an easy decision.
But at least he dares to say that this game is not good, so NBA officials really hate to see the final showdown like the Pistons hitting the Spurs again, but the strength of these two teams is a fact.
"This is the strength of the playoffs. Look at them and you will know why there is a saying that they win the championship by defense. It must be difficult for the Celtics to play away games."
Murphy's view is more intuitive. Although he is a Celtic supporter, he still has a clear understanding of the strength of the Pistons now. Those Detroiters are really strong.
However, Xie Miaomiao sat on the sidelines. What she observed was not how strong the Pistons was, nor how the Celtics played. Here, it was just to see Chen Feng's performance, and the purpose was quite simple.
This is completely my subjective opinion. In some aspects, Xie Miaomiao is more like a fan than a reporter who should be neutral, but she has always had no feelings for this kind of thing.
It seems more like an accident to be able to inadvertently discover such a fierce guy as Chen Feng and achieve such achievements so far, but Xie Miaomiao is unconditional support for Chen Feng.
Because a little guy who has no one to take care of him and can survive alone in the United States with his own hands will not be easily defeated by anyone. No one can do it. Xie Miaomiao has no doubt about this.
And the rookie season can reach the Eastern Conference semi-finals. No matter who you tell, this result is quite a face-reate thing. What's more, this boy is also one of the key factors for the Celtics to sweep the Raptors.
The Rockets have been out. Now more Chinese reporters are gathered in the east to see Chen Feng's performance, and this boy is very competitive. He not only broke through the first round, but also picked out the best rookie of the season.
How much market consideration there is in it is not a question that Xie Miaomiao should speculate, but it is undeniable that Chen Feng's advantage is quite obvious compared with Rondo, Roy, or other competitors.
With an average of 15.2 points, 8.1 rebounds and 2 blocks per game, this data is definitely a potential inside pillar, and even Jefferson's performance in rebounds and blocks is far inferior to Chen Feng.
Don't forget that the boy was also banned by the league because of his PK with O'Neill. Otherwise, this data may be more dazzling, at least in scoring and rebounding, his upward trend is very obvious.
Even many picky commentators have made it clear in their columns that the best rookie of this season may be the least controversial. Although Roy and Roundor have performed well, they are obviously at a disadvantage compared with Chen Feng.
"A good insider will take into account both scoring and defense, and Chen Feng's election shows that he has such ability, and his data on blocking is even the fourth place on the statistical list."
He has sent more than 30 blocks in a season and entered the top five of this list as a rookie, which is probably unexpected by many people, and his block is not the kind that costs more points.
Everyone knows why the Celtics have risen fiercely this season. The efficiency of the insider's attack and defense has increased, which is the fundamental reason, and the dominance of the paint area is revealed in that boy.
"The inside player may be the slowest position for Chengcai, but the appearance of Chen Feng allows us to look forward to the summer draft. Maybe there will be more surprises there, but in any case, congratulations to him."
No matter how fair the reports are, at least the best rookie has fallen into Chen Feng's pocket, which no one can take away, and no one can erase this guy's contribution for the whole season.
Even if this boy often makes people feel a headache, his grades are grades, and no one will deny Chen Feng's excellence.
Of course, Xie Miaomiao is happy to see this situation continue to ferment, as she said after Chen Feng got the best rookie, "This is just the beginning. Anyway, you can always bring more surprises to others."
After a season of tracking reports, the pure revolutionary friendship between Xie Miaomiao and Chen Feng is now, so she can be said to have a thorough understanding of the boy's temper.
Best rookie? Rookie MVP? None of this matters, just like what the boy said, these are all obtained with his hands. The championship, only the trophy, is what he longs for most.
"To do it, you have to get the best. The rest is just to add some color. It's dispensable. Kill all the opponents and win the championship. That's the goal. And as you said, this is just the beginning. There's really nothing to show off, because what I want is obviously more than this. I'm greedy. . "
Thinking about what Chen Feng said after holding the best rookie trophy, Xie Miaomiao can feel that this boy will never easily bow down to Chen Chen here and admit defeat? Have you really seen that boy bow his head and admit his cowardice?
"The little ** I'm optimistic about will not be defeated so easily, and the Pistons can't do it!" Although Xie Miaomiao didn't say so much to Murphy, she still clenched her little fist and added strength to Chen Feng.
Chen Feng didn't hear Xie Miaomiao's cheering, but this game was really a little surprising.
Now, Xie Miaomiao really doesn't mind looking at the expression of his peers around him, because the game has started less than six minutes, the score on the field is already 20:17, and the Celtics are temporarily 3 points ahead of their opponents.
But one thing that cannot be ignored is that the offensive rhythm of the two sides is far from the slow procrastination expected before the game. Although it is also a hand-to-hand fight, it is also a battle with a bayonet, but the scoring efficiency is very high.
Especially in the minute after the opening of the Celtics, they attacked the Pistons three times in a row. Not only did they not let the opponent score, but they also made two steals in a row, and instantly hit the opponent with a 6-0 start**.
I guess Sanders was a little stunned at that time. This guy had been talking about it before the opening. He must keep the team steady and not be disturbed by the opponent's charge.
This is really what you are afraid of. When you want to stabilize, you often lose your rhythm, and the impact of the Celtics really rushes the Pistons' defense.
Chen Feng's first air relay was scary enough. As a result, this guy then pulled a basket with a more exaggerated hand across Rondo, and also flew Billups out of the bottom line.
And this is still the end. As soon as the Pistons made steady progress, Rashid Wallace, who had just pulled to the vicinity of the three-point line and was preparing to block and dismantle for Billups, was accidentally attacked by Chen Feng.
Originally, Rondo had been stuck behind Wallace, and Billups also deftly divided the ball to him sideways. If this guy could have received the basketball smoothly, it must have been a high-level counterattack.
But as soon as Billups' pass was sent out, Wallace stretched out a big hand and stabbed the basketball out, and then the Celtics' quick counterattack.
When Rondo scored the basket under the basket, Billups, who was chasing behind him, had not even rushed into the three-point line. It can be imagined how embarrassing the Pistons were by the interception.
Wallace is too familiar with that big hand, but at this moment, he also seemed a little helpless. This time, the break came too suddenly, and the boy who took the ball was really too hard.
The whole person flew out almost in parallel, and then poked the basketball with his fingertips, without giving Wallace any chance to remedy it. It was such a fierce role that suddenly killed, which caused the Pistons' mistakes.
The Pistons have not been so embarrassed for a long time, but this time, the Celtics' attack did give them a strong suppression at the beginning, which was a fierce attack.
There is no avoidance, just like two locomotives seeing each other head-on, but no one intends to avoid the impact. They hit each other fiercely and started first, showing a very strong lethality.
Even the more than 10,000 tough Pistons fans at the scene, at this time, there were only a few roars left, and most people looked a little worried and watched the score refreshed again.
Maybe the game that swept the Magic team in the first round was a little too smooth. The Pistons, which control the rhythm from beginning to end, have not encountered such a powerful challenge for a long time, so the fans seem a little uncomfortable.
Anyway, these are all the territory of the eastern bosses. How can those Boston hillbils dare to be wild here? But that's what those guys did, and the three axes came up and cut them very beautifully!
Even the TNT broadcast, which was ready to yawn on the sidelines, was rarely cheering for the Pistons' game. Kenny Smith joked, "This is the first time I feel that Detroit's playoffs can be so quiet, and I even wonder if this is a Eastern Conference semi-final. . "
Barkley has never had any scruples. Even in the territory of the Pistons, he dares to open his mouth and talk endlessly. What's more, the minute just now really made him feel very happy.
"I bet that Rashid must be full of anger now. It's not just him, but the whole Pistons may be like this. Looking at Sanders' expression, I can feel this guy's depression."
Barkley, who is never afraid of big things, is a guy who likes to see other people's bad luck. He watched Rashid and Sanders eat in front of Chen Feng. How could he not laugh.
You know, before arriving in Detroit, this guy bet with Smith and Miller around him that he bet a thousand dollars on the Celtics to win one point away.
This is not unfounded confidence, but Barkley knew what the boy was thinking from the first day when he met him. Especially after killing the Raptors without bloodshed, how could the bald boy be willing to stop in the Eastern Conference semi-finals? As long as there is a chance, he will charge without scruples. .
Just like the scene just now, what Billups, what the finals MVP, what "Roaring Tianzun", as long as it is the opponent in front of him, the boy will kick it away.
And after that minute of little **, the Celtics' attack was always at their own pace and was not choked by the Pistons. The strangulation between the two sides was completely mixed together.
The Pistons also had a rare high shooting rate, especially in the middle and long-distance shots. They were only three points behind, relying on two three points from Billups and Hamilton's three middle shots.
The Detroit people's blocking and dismantling cooperation is very accurate, covering, running, and taking action. Everything seems to be very proficient. Both Billups and Hamilton are very proactive.
Even the three-pointer that he just hit, Billups deliberately circled along the three-point line. After slipping out of the bottom line to catch the ball, he hit it accurately near the bottom corner. Rondo chased for a long time and failed to interfere.
And Hamilton's several mid-range shots were also the shooting opportunities found after frequent blocking. The efficiency shown by the two of them was not inferior to the Lakers at the beginning.
Even after two mistakes at the beginning of the game, Billups has already played offensiveness that has not been shown in the regular season. The two single-on-one attacks on Rho are unreserved suppression, using his footsteps and running position to gain points very accurately. The characteristics of the big-hearted player are vividly displayed, which is completely an MVP. Style.
Even the reporters on the sidelines said that Billups had not taken the initiative to take the responsibility for scoring for a long time. It can be seen that this guy also aroused a fierce sense of counterattack after the opening.
The roars that were extinguished at Auburn Hill Palace Stadium began to recover because of the outbreak of these two guys, but on the score, the Pistons were still in a passive state of catching up.
From the experience of Barkley's old deep-fried dough sticks, it can also be seen that the Pistons play very awkwardly. At least this is not the rhythm they are good at. Even if it is a hand-to-hand battle under the basket, they have not taken any advantage.
Wallace met such a stingy guy as Chen Feng. It was very difficult to play. Although he was not suppressed, he only scored two points and two rebounds in one shot. This data is much worse than the first round.
Wallace can play well when he meets a big guy like Howard, but when he meets such a cunning and fierce wild boy, Barkley can imagine how bored Wallace is now.
"Roaring Tianzun" is not roaring now. In the first six minutes of confrontation, he suffered a foul. Although he also hit Chen Feng face to face, Chen Feng was not polite to him. Chasing him was a counterattack. The two guys collided with him, which was as fierce as the beginning of the season, but the gap was disappearing. Lost.
Wallace still has a slight advantage in experience, but in the face of such a fierce guy as Chen Feng, he really feels very stressed. If the "big stupid clock" doesn't leave, he will definitely have to do this tiring work.
But now let him face the impact of Chen Feng, Rashid Wallace can no longer be like at the beginning of the season.
Not to mention Davis, there is Jefferson taking good care of him. He is a blue-collar and his offensive ability is close to zero. At this time, it is better to expect him to stand up and score. It is better to expect him to grab a few more rebounds.
The inside line was completely suppressed, which was probably not expected by Sanders before the game. He thought that Wallace and Davis could control the defensive and offensive baskets at both ends.
But now he understands that his opponents are no longer those Orlando people. The Celtics' internal firepower is far more fierce than he expected.
Chen Feng has 6 points, 3 rebounds, 1 block and 1 assist, and Jefferson has 4 points, 3 rebounds and 1 block. The scoring data of the two of them accounts for half of the team's score. This efficiency is simply amazing.
Even Miller had to sigh, "The Pistons last season will never lose to any opponent on the inside line, but now it seems that Ben Wallace's departure is definitely a loss."
"If Ben is still there, I don't think the Celtics will play so smoothly. At least in the paint area, they will encounter a lot of resistance, but now, I think it's better to help Rashid pray with Dale."
This is the effect that Rivers wants. Everyone knows that the Pistons' defense system is rock-solid, especially integrated attack and defense, which makes any opponent feel a headache.
In this case, the Celtics have no other choice, just choose the strongest point of the opponent to play! Inside line, paint area! Just tear the gap there! Fight an unavoidable siege and annihilating battle! Control the basket!
is to stick to the opponent's inside line to attack fiercely, not afraid of mistakes, not afraid of lower hit rate, and not afraid of fouls!
It's just a more accurate and a fierce blow! Whether they can defeat the opponent or not, they have to know the pain!
The fierceness of the Celtics has made the tough blue-collar fans in Detroit feel a trace of chill. This is not a cold winter, but it is enough to make them afraid...
(There should be more, well, it's hard to say the specific points. I'll do it as soon as possible, okay?)
