Chapter 327 On the Edge of the Cliff
The competition between the Pistons and the Celtics has learned from the first two games. Everyone knows how important the opening stage is to each other. As long as the opening of the first quarter is not good, the game will be basically ruined.
These guys are all fierce roles that must compete for an inch of land. Both sides are like this. If they really get on the bar, it will be the same as the last quarter of the second game. The players on both sides will risk their lives and then fight once.
That kind of scene designation will be thrilling, but this is definitely not the big scene that the coaches of the two sides want to see.
No matter who it is, as long as the opening is a little lax, the subsequent game process will be very awkward, and the teams that are suppressed at the beginning are losers in the end, and there is no exception for the time being.
That's why Sanders repeatedly stressed before the start of the game that he must hold on in the opening stage and strive to hold his opponent firmly in the inside confrontation like the second game, and then use his rich experience to hit them crazily. It is best to beat the Celtics' gas at home in the first quarter. Potential.
Especially when he saw the opponent's crazy entrance ceremony, Sanders absolutely didn't want to see his opponent go crazy in Boston, which was a little broken. It's really not good news for the visiting team.
Saunders knew that the away game here was not easy to play before he came to Boston, but he didn't expect that the fans here were more crazy than the blue-collar workers in Detroit. They didn't look good for the Pistons players.
"Detroit people, this will be your hell!" Seeing fans holding such a sign, Sanders knew what it would be like to greet him. There is absolutely no such thing as hospitality here.
Boston fans have always had such revenge. What kind of experience did the team have on the road? It's not that these guys haven't seen it, so it's such a provocation to welcome the Pistons in the North Shore Garden.
Even the fans on both sides of the player's channel even leaned out, intimidated and roared loudly, and demonstrated with the Pistons' group of guys in a threatening tone, and the guards also regarded them as if they had not seen it.
There is no way. Who makes the Pistons' away game full of unfriendly actions? Therefore, the Celtics' loyal supporters also want to show these guys the fiercest side of Boston fans.
The Pistons have experienced a lot of battles, but in the face of such crazy fans and players who are about to explode with adrenaline, as long as you are a little vigilant, you will know how dangerous it is to make your opponent crazy here.
Sanders is not fully sure that he can kill a crazy Celtic team, so suppression is a must.
If you can contain the Celtics at the beginning, then whether this is Boston's home or not, the final result may be to follow the rhythm of the Pistons. Sanders absolutely has this confidence.
And he has even made a deduction before the game. If he can play the beginning of the last game, he will never let the embarrassing situation of being chased by the opponent in the last quarter again. He will continue the victory until the end of the game.
It can be said that Sanders didn't have much rest before he came to Boston. He had almost predicted the worst and best situation, and the idea of the game kept repeating in his mind.
But the reality is always a little different from what you think. In fact, there are not too many mistakes in Sanders' pre-match considerations. He adopted the safest way, trying to copy the opening mode of the last game, using force grabbing, oppressing the opponent's attack, and then starting to destroy the Celtics. Attack conversion, so as to defeat the opponent's confidence.
If Billups can continue to put pressure on Rondo, and then the inside blockade keeps Chen Feng to death, then the final result of this game may really follow the rhythm of the Pistons as Sanders expected.
Especially after seeing Rivers adjust the lineup, Sanders' confidence is actually stronger.
If it is really as he wants, the Celtics' collapse may be the same as the first three quarters of the second game. It will become a little defeated on the court and lose the usual sharpness, but this guy's carefully planned idea has been beaten back by the Celtics before it is really implemented. That's it!
Rivers also knows how to release the killing first in the opening stage, and this is his doorstep, and there is no reason for the opponent to take the lead, so this guy spent three days running in the new set of tactics. After the tactical adjustment, the Celtics did not give the Pistons any opportunity to adapt. Will.
According to Thibodeau's words, it is to give the Pistons a stuffy stick with his head covered. No matter whether they can kill these Detroiters, they will be stunned first, and the Celtics are indeed very fierce!
They attacked head-on and didn't wait for their opponents to suppress themselves. They chose to take the first time, and the fierce and abnormal scoring frenzy drowned the Pistons' strangulation attempts. It was really not given them a chance.
The Celtics' attack has no sense of sluggishness. As long as the opportunity comes out, these guys dare to shoot. No matter who holds the ball, if there is a space, they can shoot without any restrictions.
This was arranged by Riverster before the game. What he asked for was to disperse the offensive point. As long as the opportunity comes out, he will throw me to death! It doesn't matter if you don't enter, but you have to have a chance at every point and dare to take action!
In the last game, the opening attack was too concentrated in the inside line, so he once lost the initiative of attack. Rivers was not a fool, so he knew how to change it.
This is also the main reason why the score gap has widened when Sanders wants to pause.
The Celtics' offensive firepower is really too strong! More aggressive means caught the Pistons off guard. These guys were bombarded by their opponents without even making a minimum of resistance.
At least Sanders has been stunned by the fierce offensive wave of the Celtics. He called the pause more than thinking about how to adjust his tactical arrangements and personnel, but to calm himself down.
How are the team members feeling? Sanders can't take care of it now. His brain is extremely confused at this moment.
The gap of 15 points has broken the nerves of the pistons. Although most of their main players have also gone through two rounds in the finals, it is really difficult to calm down in the face of the completely crazy Celtics.
Don't say that there are more than 10,000 fans roaring in the North Bank Garden, and even a few commentators at the scene are screaming at the same time. It's really crazy. This kind of hot attack stimulates everyone.
Barkley almost stood on the table and cheered for the Celtics' multi-point attack. Those guys really did a good job! The shouts of the fans are not unreasonable. This kind of attack is crazy!
The other two hosts were a little restrained, but Kenny Smith was still not stingy with his words of appreciation, while Miller spread out his hands, saying that all this was too crazy. Of course, the old guy absolutely didn't mind seeing the Pistons die. Who let these guys be eliminated in the season when he was about to retire. He.
The Pistons' defense is not indestructible, but it has never been so **, but in Boston, in this stadium carrying the Celtics' honor, they are facing a group of scoring lunatics!
Chen Feng's pass to Nowak activated the offensive wave of the whole team. Although he did not score, the 7 assists in the first quarter were enough to explain the problem. Who would have thought that this guy started to fight back in this way?
I guess even if it's Phil Jackson's old-fashioned guy, I'm afraid he didn't expect such a variable. Even if Sanders had entangled Prince with Novak after the pause, it would not weaken the Celtics' firepower at all, especially when Novak went down to rest and Pierce came up. After.
There is no need for any fixed routine, because the situation has been too open. Chen Feng's pass involves the whole Pistons' defensive center of gravity constantly swinging. He dares not defend against this guy's singles. Now he has to guard against his cold pass. Even if Prince wants to hit, he has to consider Pierce's existence. In.
And Chen Feng and Pierce don't have to rely on passing the ball to maintain the offensive line. This guy pulls out to block people, which can still cause big trouble for the Pistons. His extremely tough physique is not for nothing!
McDes' small physique is compared with him, but it's not enough to look at all. I really can't hold it!
Compared with Novak's three-point expertise, Pierce's mid-range and long-range shots have a front sight, but Rivers needs Novak to open the opponent's defensive width. When the guy disrupted the Pistons' defense with five three-pointers in a single quarter, Pierce will naturally take over and start again! This guy opened fire inside and outside and broke through Prince continuously, which was completely different from the previous confrontation. Now Pierce can fight as he wants.
Prince, this is two difficulties, can't you? Who dares to play the singles calmly after Pierce holds the ball? I guess no one in the NBA has the courage to do this. But don't let it go? Do you really think that McDance can withstand Chen Feng?
It would have been terrible to have Chen Feng pulled out to block and dismantle it. As a result, Pierce, a rather unkind guy, could still hold the ball and hit the basket with a single in addition to shooting, and the animal was still very fierce!
With the defense, McDys, in the face of such a person as Pierce **, if he can't get stuck in the position first, he is likely to be taken advantage of by that guy, and a clever acceleration can get into the basket.
Prince tried to defend several times, but he was firmly stuck in the periphery by Chen Feng. With his strong muscles, Prince frowned and bumped into such a big guy. It is estimated that anyone would feel chest tightness.
Pierce was really not soft. He was replaced, and then made a hot appearance of 10 points in a single quarter.
According to Chen Feng's words, "This guy is holding it on the bench, and his wife is on the sidelines, so she has to show her masculinity? So this guy started to go crazy after he came on the stage!"
In fact, that's right. Originally, it was no problem for Pierce to follow the command and squat on the sidelines and wait for the opportunity, but this guy's ability is there. He's just waiting for the opportunity. Rivers used Novak to open a gap. He didn't expect Sanders to not see the cooperation between Chen Feng and Novak. What's the weakness? Just wait for the Sanders guy to see that the difference may have been opened long ago.
And Pierce came on the court to make his opponent more afraid. In these short three days, Chen Feng did not have a god-like growth speed, but this tactic is on his side, always keeping a strong point of scoring!
Novak's three-pointer is temporarily turned off, but the replaced Pierce will be more difficult to deal with. The former is to expand the opponent's defense, and the latter is to take advantage of the opponent's mood of suffering from gains and losses, and attack this!
Weber took advantage of the fire and took advantage of his flexible footsteps on the flanks to single-handed out Rashid Wallace. He resolutely cut in without any hesitation. The fire at a medium distance simply made the other party a little careless.
If it's really a face-to-face fight, Webb may not be able to eat Rashid Wallace now, but this kind of attack that pulls the opponent out of the basket will definitely make the other party worry a lot. Then can Webb be polite to you?
This old guy is also a personal spirit. He looked at the weakness of the Pistons, that is, he scored. Every time this guy shoots well, he will make Sanders a little depressed on the sidelines. After all, three months ago, Weber has always been his favorite player. Now seeing the opponent's counterattack, I guess no one will accept it. It is.
With a hit rate of as high as 65%, this amazing offensive efficiency simply makes the Pistons at a loss. At the end of the first two quarters, those loyal fans who stayed in Detroit to watch the national live broadcast are a little want to smash the TV.
Maybe Sanders will think that this is thanks to the game played in Detroit, otherwise, he may be smashed by the hamburgers thrown over now, and the scolding of those fans is enough to embarrass him.
59:41, no one can imagine that this is a game played by the Pistons. They even scored only 19 points in the first quarter, while the Celtics' fire net grabbed 34 points fiercely, which was astonishing.
It's messy. Everything is messy. Sanders has loosened his tie. He even feels that such a formal dress is about to suffocate him. This damn game is out of his control!
Sometimes, once the confrontation between the two sides on the field and the decline between each other is formed, no matter how much experience you have, it will be in vain. It's time for you to collapse, but you can't avoid it. What's more, the other side still exerts pressure.
The Pistons' stress resistance is second to none in the East, but in the face of the desperate impact of a group of crazy people, even if you have won the NBA championship, what can you do? It's not that I'm going to be suppressed by the savages of the Celtics. In Boston, in the North Shore Garden, those guys are the masters!
The halftime break gave Sanders a chance to adjust, but the Pistons' counterattack in the third and fourth quarters also brought the gap that had widened to 22 points at most a little closer, that's all.
You can't say that these old guys are not killing themselves. Rashid even desperately grabbed three front-court rebounds in the third quarter, but they have to face a group of psychopaths who are even crazier than themselves.
It is still a statistical statistic of only 8 points, but Chen Feng's 9 assists and 21 rebounds have become a permanent pain for the Pistons. Who knows that this evil bastard will have this nerve!
9 assists! His sister, if this guy gets another assist and two more points, it is simply an incomparable triple-double record! Especially rebounding, this guy has been at a disadvantage for Rashid.
21 rebounds! Damn, the Pistons have only 31 rebounds together! This animal is simply using his big hands to abuse the two opponents of Rashid and McDes.
Especially McDace, Although Chen Feng did not take the initiative to cut points, the defensive pressure always made the veteran dare not take it lightly. He must always beware of Chen Feng's wild assault.
"His mother's, the last time these two guys thought of me as a sandwich biscuit. Shouldn't I fight back? This is less. If it weren't for a little more fouls, I would have to grab at least 30!"
Pierce was angry on the sidelines, and Chen Feng was too melancholy because he was caught by his opponent's defense in the last game. Therefore, he finally seized the opportunity. How could he not die?
A guy who doesn't score crazily can still bring fatal damage to the Pistons. No one expected that the Detroit people fell like this. Just because of the variables brought by a guy, he fell so completely!
108:91, this is the final result. Everyone is waiting for the Pistons to teach the Celtics a profound lesson on the road, but the reality is like this. Whether those Detroiters accept it or not, the score can't be changed. Sanders' face can be seen after the game. This guy knows this damn thing. How bad the result is. As for the Pistons, they left the stadium without saying a word without any expression on their faces.
Everyone knows that Sanders is going to be in trouble. As for what kind of big trouble it is, it is estimated that it is a matter for the management of the Pistons to discuss behind closed doors, but first of all, they have to know the fact that they have fallen 1:2 in the second round of the Eastern Conference with the Celtics. After that.
Will there be a 1:3 situation? No one can give an answer. At least the Pistons don't know whether the next game will return to normal, but this damn game has indeed made them a little embarrassed.
No one thought that such a game that should have been fought to the end, but it made a stunning change at the beginning. Rivers' gambling was bold enough, but Sanders became a foil again.
I believe that the Pistons management, who looked extremely bad when they left the field, will definitely give this successor, Old Brown, a profound warning. Now Detroit has stood on the edge of the cliff and can't retreat.
If Sanders can't lead the team out of trouble in the next game in Boston, then waiting for him is not just a dismissal letter, but it is estimated that Detroit fans will have other ways to express their anger!
What the current Pistons smell is definitely a dangerous smell of being embattled on all sides...
