Chapter 318 Network

The Pistons will not be captured. Even if Sanders dares to do this, Rivers will not easily cut the knife.

At least he is the boss of the East. The hundred-legged insects die but not stiff. What's more, the Detroit Pistons are still alive now. It's not so easy to completely overturn them. If they can't be done well, they will be bitten.

The strong style of the Detroit people has been branded since the time of Chuck Daly. It's not so easy to conquer. What's more, this is the opponent's home court. It can take away a victory, which can be regarded as the completion of the task.

So before the start of the second Eastern Conference semifinals, Rivers warned every team member during the rest period, "Winning the first game does not mean that you have reached the Eastern Conference Finals. This is just the beginning."

"If you want to relax your nerves, then your opponent will have a chance to kick your buttocks hard."

"You guys, you'd better take your heart back. Don't always think about the female reporters in low-cut clothes at the door. If those guys have sex with you, I promise to go to the newspaper the next day."

All that should be said is that Rivers knows what kind of stuff these wild kids are. If he doesn't tighten the reins for them, it won't take long for his tail to go up to the sky.

Especially recently, many people have been holding the Celtics and saying that they are the representatives of the new generation of the NBA. They have the capital to overturn the strong teams and will definitely step on the Pistons to reach the Eastern Conference finals and even the finals.

This kind of praise is not surprising. Everyone knows the potential of Celtic teammates, but now this potential is in the transition period. No one is sure whether it can mature quickly, so Rivers does not want his players to forget who they are because of this kind of praise. The Celtics are not first-class now. Team.

"Head, it seems that you... Alas, it's quite a tricky to finish the work. I'm sorry." Although Rivers's words are to beat these wild guys, he can't help but be teased by these guys.

In fact, there is no need to say more about Siberdu and Rivers. With Pierce and Chen Feng leading the lead, not many people will praise the people on the side of the accident. The same group of people said two weeks ago that the Celtics would be swept out. Those reporters are the most unscrupulous existence, so don't care what they are nagging about. What?

As for those female reporters or hosts who wear low-cut clothes and wander outside, they are more like a group of flesh and blood waiting for big fish to get hooked. If you don't want to cause trouble, you'd better stay away from these dangerous goods.

And the media has repeatedly aimed the fire at the Pistons, which is not good for Boston. If you don't find fault, it's hard. Rivers is not arrogant enough to think that his team is perfect.

The cattle of the Celtics have been together for less than a season. Like Weber and Sprewell, they joined in the later stage. Now the team can play so smoothly by relying on a kind of momentum.

Once the game doesn't go well, maybe a lot of things will be exposed, but the time left for Rivers is only for these 82 regular season games to be adjusted. Others will think it's enough, but Rivers knows that it's much worse.

The first game was already very thrilling. In the second half of the third quarter, when the score was pulled closer, Rivers' heart kept beating wildly. He was really afraid of the group of kids. Once he couldn't stand it, it was over.

Fortunately, Chen Feng and Pierce lost their temper in time, and the Pistons' counterattack did not work, but no one could guarantee that the next game would be so smooth, and it was when the other side was already alert.

It can't be said how relaxed or careless the Pistons played in the first game, but it is undeniable that they were indeed a little confused by the Celtics in the opening stage.

Even Billups made several fatal mistakes. If it hadn't been so hard at the beginning, it was estimated that the game would not have played so smoothly in the later stage, and the Pistons would not have been in a passive catch-up situation all the time.

You can make a sneak attack this time, so the next time the other party will tighten his nerves from the beginning and will not make mistakes.

At least Bloops will not make people sneak attack easily, and looking at his confrontation with Rondo in the next few quarters, you can see that this guy is so hot that he can mess up Rondo. This is the deterrent of the old world.

Two away games have won one, which is a problem that I had considered before coming to Detroit. If two cities can be connected, I believe no one can refuse, and Rivers will not.

But it is impossible for the Pistons to accept their fate like this. For the Detroiters who have experienced failure, the counterattack is certain, and the strength will be surprising. Rivers is very clear about this.

So he will always remind his players not to take it lightly. The series is not over yet, and everything is still unknown. You just won a beginning, not all.

If you want to reach the Eastern Conference finals, you have to really defeat the Pistons, not a single, but a continuous blow, so that these tough Detroiters will die more thoroughly in the head-to-head impact.

But Rivers can only make all the preparations now, waiting for the Pistons to fight back at any time. The Celtics can only make every effort to ensure that they retreat in Detroit.

"The lineup remains the same, but in some details, you can master the scale by yourself. In the last game, almost all of our starting lineup is in danger of being sent off. This problem can't be repeated again. If you commit a foul, it is also worthwhile."

When summarizing the last game, Rivers analyzed with Siebodeau and the coaching staff that if the foul can be controlled and the strength of the confrontation can be maintained, the pressure of the Celtics on the defensive end will be much less.

In the last game, the opponent continuously chased points, that is, because there were too many fouls, the Pistons were frequently put on the free throw line.

The Pistons are not a team that lives on attack. The degree of expertise of these guys in free throws is amazing. In 23 free throws and 21 free throws, almost all free throws have been converted into points. Who can stand it!

Rivers didn't want to take a long time to pull the score away, and then the other side made a breakthrough. Even if he couldn't score, the free throw alone was enough to give him a headache.

The defensive actions of those wild guys must be more regular. Although they can't be restricted from showing their fierce side, Rivers also needs these guys to know when to start, instead of being fierce.

Compared with Sanders' need to change, or need to motivate the team's morale, the Celtics only need to keep this offensive posture, and can continue to deal with the opponent in the second game.

The five starting players remain unchanged. This is Rivers' decision. Since the first game is not bad, there is no need to set up any ecstasy with the opponent. Strange soldiers can't be found by looking for it.

Instead of seeking change, it's better to be steady, slowly test with the other party, and slowly move. There are not so many strong teams that can enter the playoffs that will be directly killed by a stick, at least a set of combination punches.

In many cases, the team's fight with the team depends on stable performance. Rivers' first round-and-the-scenes battle is beautiful enough, but the same tactics can't work every time. If the Pistons want to be considered Saints, it's not bronze but also gold-level. If you use too much, it may not be effective. It is.

Therefore, the starting lineup remains unchanged, and the tactics remain unchanged, that is, to put pressure on the opponent on the court to force the Pistons' tactics to be simple and direct, not to give them too many opportunities for double-blocking or counter-running.

Compared with the Celtics, Sanders' starting list is still slightly adjusted. Davis, who occupied the center position in the first game, did not continue to start, replaced by McDys, and the rest remained unchanged.

Reducing the height of the inside line and replacing it with a more agile insider, Sanders' adjustment still seems to be inclined to attack. After all, McDace' mid-s mid-s throw level is much higher than that of Davis, who is a blue-collar.

But at this time, he couldn't withstand Chen Feng's invasion under the basket, and threw a blue-collar cooly on the bench. Sanders's formation puzzled many people, including Rivers, who was also thinking about what he was going to do.

"Without Davis, the height of the inside line has not dropped much, but the protection of the rebound ball has been weakened. It seems that Rashid will retreat to the basket. He and McDace compete for the rebound, but the strength of the confrontation is still slightly lower than when there was Davis. Does Sanders want to compete for the scoring ability of the inside line? ? "

In fact, not only Rivers is a little confused, but even Thibodeau, who has always been used to analyzing tactics, is a little puzzled. Although McDace's comprehensive ability is better than Davis, he is not a pure blue-collar after all.

If you want to do dirty work, you have to be more suitable for a strong and confrontational guy like Davis. It's better to expect Rashid to shoot more accurately than to expect Rashid to do this.

Others are guessing what Sanders' adjustment is going to do, but the guy knows exactly why he did it.

"Remember what was requested in the training. The other party didn't make any adjustments. The last time they caught us off guard, so now you have to fight back this lesson for them."

Before playing, Sanders whispered to the starting main players of the Pistons to explain the task. After a short break for two days, this guy was thinking about how to limit the impact of the Celtics. Now, he began to try.

Rivers is still wondering what Sanders' adjustment is for, but the Pistons have been quietly doing it after the opening. When the whistle of the game blows, in the shouts of Detroit fans, the Eastern boss began to attack. Although the Celtics took the lead in the jump again, Pierce also shot smoothly. The first ball in this game, but the Pistons' counterattack speed is far higher than Rivers' pre-match estimate. Those Pistons players who often attack are slow, but unexpectedly hit a chasing fast attack three points.

Billups pushed forward quickly under the cover of Hamilton. Before Rando could interfere with him, this guy opened fire outside the three-point line. Almost at the same time the Celtics retreat, the ball had already penetrated into the basket. This fast counterattack. The way of playing is not their usual habit at all.

But it is undeniable that after a round of attack and defense, the Pistons have led by one point. Rivers just frowned at this abnormal play and didn't say much, but a kind of uneasiness was fermenting.

A few seconds later, Thibodeau heard Rivers curse in a low voice, "FUCK! That guy used to have that idea! Damn it! That boy is going to be in trouble! This is really damned!"

Siberdu was still thinking about the change of the Pistons, but Rivers had a premonition of trouble. He saw a net, which was opening and covering Chen Feng...
