Chapter 374 Take the Position
Billups, Hamilton, Prince, McDais, Wallace, in the face of the fierce big guys of the Celtics, Sanders did not dare to take it lightly. He was eager to get a stronger starting lineup.
But that's all the foundation of the Pistons. Thanks to the timely return of Billups, it won't make the Pistons' outer line lose a core, but such a lineup does not reassure Sanders.
Last season, such a lineup was also a fight with the Celtics, but what was the result? It was not until the seventh game that I narrowly won the game. Don't forget that there were no Garnett and Ray Allen in the opponent's lineup at that time!
Now with the two tough guys, Sanders can't tell how strong the Celtics can be, but this is the home of the Pistons, and Auburn Hill Palace is not so easy to be captured!
It's not how arrogant Sanders is, but at least it's on his doorstep. If he can't raise his head by his opponent, I guess he will be embarrassed to face so many fans, and he can only calm down and fight desperately.
The Detroit media has no obligation to advocate for the Celtics, but Boston's fierce 11-game winning streak is enough to put pressure on the Pistons fans. Even at home, those guys have the strength to win!
This is not looking for a way out for themselves, but the Pistons fans all know that it is not surprising what the outcome of this game will be. Those Boston animals may really pose a great threat to the Pistons.
Sanders has put his strongest lineup on the court, and he also made it clear to all the players in the locker room, "This is at home, but don't forget how strong your opponents are. Don't be distracted."
In fact, Sanders wants to say, don't underestimate the enemy, but considering the current situation of both sides, the Pistons don't seem to be qualified to say that the other side underestimates the enemy. If you dare to underestimate the enemy, the outcome may be predictable.
Sanders has prepared a lot for the game, and Rivers is not idle. The Pistons are the strongest team to play. The Celtics are also very cautious. Although this is just a regular season, everyone knows what it means.
Not to mention that this is an opportunity to overturn the Eastern boss. For those old players who played seven games with the Pistons last season, this is a good time for them to take revenge. They haven't forgotten that they have lost here.
"If you had been there at that time, we might have reached the finals long ago, instead of just entering the second round, but this season is different," Pierce said before playing.
Indeed, if Chen Feng was in the life-and-death battle last season, it would have been uncertain, but now Pierce is not worried about the result of the game at all. Even if he says it here, the playoffs will be different.
It's not how superstitious Pierce is about Chen Feng's ability, but after being with that boy for a long time, you will always have a fearless feeling. Now Chen Feng brings this kind of confidence to the Celtics.
And this guy has also proved how much vitality he can burst into the team. I'm afraid that no one in Boston will ignore the existence of this bald boy. No, it should be said that the whole league can't.
It's really true. Although his average playing time is less this season, this guy's data can still keep rising steadily, which is a little ferocious. Don't forget that there is also Garnett in the inside line!
But even in front of Garnett, Chen Feng's limelight is not much more popular. Even the "Wolf King" himself said, "That boy is born to be a star who should live under the spotlight. It's simply too dazzling."
Anyway, Garnett is also one of the top masters of the league. This arrogant guy can evaluate Chen Feng in this way. He has proved Chen Feng's ability from one side, and there is no need to prove it.
Last season's results have explained a lot of problems. Can the Celtics go all the way to the second round of the playoffs? Is it just because of two rookies? Without the tough temperament brought by Chen Feng, maybe the Celtics are still wandering in the trough of the east, and Pierce will be regarded as having no leadership ability.
What about now? Eleven consecutive victories have explained too many problems. Don't say that if you don't meet a strong team, the Celtics can complete the sweep like this. So what qualifications do other teams have? Unconvinced? You also win in a row!
Achievements are the key to illustrate. If you can't achieve the Celtics' score, the best way is to shut up. Just like the current Detroit media, they are not sure and will not talk.
And Rivers is now to let the Detroit media never open their mouths again, and the Pistons are destined to be the target that the Celtics can conquer in the East. You can't expect to rely on the schedule to help every time.
If you really want to meet a dead end in the playoffs, it's better to let this collision come earlier. It's better to win. You can't win, and you also know where the gap between the two sides is. Of course, Rivers doesn't plan to lose.
Although this is a home game for the Pistons, Rivers also hopes that they can continue their tough performance last season, so that the fans here will always remember that those animals from Boston really can't be provoked casually.
The most important thing is to let those who raise a sign to the airport to harass them when they have nothing to do know that it's really boring to compete with a group of crazy people, because if you can't knock them down, you will be trampled under these people.
Rivers didn't plan to clean up the fans of the demonstration one by one, but he didn't mind beating the Pistons, so the fat guy also set up the rare main starting lineup recently.
Chen Feng, Garnett, Ray Allen, Pierce, Rondo, especially the insider. Recently, Chen Feng and Garnett haven't started the battle together. These two guys take turns most of the time.
This is also Rivers' tactical arrangement. He needs the idiot team to always put pressure on the opponent in a more than 40-minute game, so Garnett and Chen Feng's two inside blades did not cut out together.
Two knives are deadly, but the single knife is endlessly swielding at you. I'm afraid that any opponent will feel very horrible. After all, Garnet's lethality is obvious to all. As for Chen Feng's animal, er, he has done less evil?
Although the Pistons' tactics are still based on the success rate after staying steady, this season, although they are temporarily in the top position in the East, the average score per game is only about 95, and the loss of points is well controlled.
This is the habit of the Pistons. Although Sanders has focused on giving Starkey a chance this season, he still has to focus his tactical arrangements on defense at the critical moment. This is the lifeblood of the Pistons, and no one dares to lose it.
Since the era of Chuck Daly, the Pistons have been based on tight defense, and it is the same now.
So Rivers doesn't plan to fight with his opponent for better defensive skills. Last season's playoffs, he was going to defeat his opponent, and now it's the same. In this lineup, he is to completely sink his opponent with attack!
Aren't you on guard? Well, you continue, but I have not only increased my defensive strength this season, but also my attack has become sharper! Since Detroit has an iron barrel array, let's see if I can poke you!
The head coaches of the two sides are not going any step, but there is still some interaction between the players of the two sides. After all, they have been in the league for so long. There is no friendship, and there is also a little bit of fate.
For example, old rivals such as Garnet and Rashid have been fighting in the West for several years. Now when it comes to the Eastern Conference, it seems that the two have to fight inexplicable battles. After all, this is also a momentary.
But short greetings can't dilute the atmosphere of the game between the two sides. The fans on the side have begun to make noise. The supporters of the Pistons can't wait to see their team end their opponent's winning streak at home!
This is not envy and hatred, but even the fans have already felt the pressure brought by the Celtics. They really want to get rid of this damn feeling! It's better to kick your opponent into hell!
"Good luck, boy. I don't want to be a loser in this game." Rashid, a rare old man, said a few more words to his opponent Chen Feng before the start of the game.
It can be seen that the old guy has a heart for last season's confrontation. Winning is winning, but the confrontation between him and Chen Feng is obviously the boy's advantage, which makes Rashid a little worried.
"Well, you also said, wish me good luck. Since good luck is on my side, it should be difficult to lose."
Chen Feng shrugged his shoulders. He stood opposite Rashid and looked at the old man with a beard. The two people who were ready to jump the ball consciously closed their mouths, but as Chen Feng said, since good luck is on my side, I'm sorry. Isn't this a place to respect the old and love the young. Lose? Impossible!
You can't show his fierceness by words, but he can prove all this with his hands. Even if you are facing Rashid, if you want to reach the peak, these opponents are bound to be trampled under your feet as a ladder.
Since you can kill your opponent last season, why don't you continue this season? Chen Feng didn't think of any reason to lose to Rashid, even if it was at the home court of the Pistons. He came to take away the victory.
Oh, and kick Detroit down from the throne in the east and make the opponent a role to catch up with you.
As a person who is used to the boss, one day he will know that he will fall, and the latter will take over this position.
This is like the savannah in Africa. When a lion begins to grow old, there will always be latecomers who cove over the status of the king, defeat him, or expel him, and then start a new legend.
That was the era of the new king. Now Chen Feng is facing Rashid. What he longs for is to defeat this former big shot and let the team and himself usher in their own new era. This is the battle for the throne!
The law of the jungle, even if you used to be the boss, you have to face such a cruel fact...
