Chapter 378 Sweeping the Eastern League
Twelve consecutive wins, and it is the top of the Pistons to the top of the Eastern boss. It is estimated that no one can predict such a tough start before the season. If there is, the guy is either a time-traveler or a magic stick.
Even Murphy, a well-informed old man like him, was also surprised by the Celtics' performance. "They are so crazy that they are even crazier than Larry Bird's guys at the beginning. This winning streak is too sudden!"
All of a sudden? In fact, for outsiders, it's really a little sudden. After all, the Celtics have just made a big deal in the summer, and many people think that it will take at least two months to match the lineup.
But what about these guys? Two months? What? They have been quite sharp in the pre-season!
Who would have thought that the Celtics could play so smoothly and naturally after changing half of the main lineup, including those professional critics who also said that they had miscalculated. In the face of this high efficiency, they could only be speechless.
There are many things to say and make a lot of mistakes. Now you'd better shut up consciously when it's a prediction about the Celtics.
Otherwise, it's really ** naked slap in the face, and it hurts very much. Those guys who say that the team is unstable inside, now look at this extremely tough record. Can your sister's uneasy team play it?
If so, it's better to make all the teams uneasy. Then the league game is good. Those Boston animals are fierce and fierce, and then they are still so powerful that people can't look directly at them.
As the head coach of the Pistons, Sanders, said after the game, "We lost, that's the truth."
"This guy is very single. He loses simply and admits it." Rivers doesn't mind commenting on the opponent he has just conquered. After all, Sanders has been very tenacious in the whole game.
This is a completely different feeling in the past season, especially when the two sides are in a stalemate. The Pistons can always bite the score, which is really inseparable from Sanders' deployment. I guess no one can deny this.
After the game, the Detroit media also said that they thought it was a big defeat, but Sanders' calmness and strategy allowed the Pistons to avoid a tragedy on their doorstep. The guy's on-the-spot command ability is worthy of recognition.
Although the senior management of the Pistons did not make any comment on Sanders' coaching level, everyone can see that in a short period of time, Sanders' position is still stable, at least he doesn't have to worry about being fired by the team the next morning.
I don't know if this is a blessing in disguise, but while the Detroit media affirms Sanders, it is also worried about the future of the Pistons. The gains and losses of a game are not terrible. What's terrible is that they are really weakening.
And it's still the kind of continuous weakness. Whether you are willing to admit that at this time, it exists so objectively. Even if you roar, you can't change anything. The Pistons are actually in this situation now.
It is a favorite to win the championship in the East for several consecutive seasons. Even if these Detroiters don't play well, no one dares to underestimate them. This is the foundation laid by the Pistons in the East.
You can kill the Lakers to win the championship and fight seven games with the Spurs, but when all this is on the table, that is the confidence that you can control the situation in the East in the future, the Pistons, it does have this kind of energy.
But now that they are old, it is useless to deny this. A fight with the Celtics has made people see the old age of the Pistons, and they have never taken the initiative in the whole game.
Even the local media in Detroit admitted after the game that there was no suspense about their loss. From the beginning of the first quarter, the rhythm was in the hands of the Celtics, and all they could do was resist desperately.
From Starky's charge to the last moment, Billups and Hamilton desperately ran, took action and attacked.
When these usually invisible scenes begin to appear in front of you, the supporters of the Detroit Pistons feel not excitement, but a kind of unwillingness from the bottom of their hearts, or even a little despair.
For several years, they have never been so desperate, but after bumping into the Celtic green bandits.
This feeling begins to spread, and then begins to drown out many people's thoughts, invading your heart little by little. It is a kind of footsteps from the pursuers, which will remind you of the existence of a knife behind you at this moment.
This feeling existed last season, not only from the Bulls and Cavaliers, but also from the playoffs, the Celtics began to have this terrible feeling that they will never forget.
And this season, the feeling of being afraid that others will grab their seats after weakness makes Detroit fans, like looking at a lonely old lion king, lose their territory in a head-to-head confrontation, and then be confused.
They don't know if Detroit can stand up again, how long will it take, like the more than ten years when they lost the rogue army and sank? This sense of fear has actually been permeated in the new season.
But the more you are afraid of something, the more those things will stick to you like a shadow, and then make you feel suffocated and feel that you are deeply trapped in it. The Pistons' struggle in the game is exactly like this.
They are unwilling to fail and want to resist, but in the fierce offensive firepower of the Celtics, all their experience and skills cannot play their due role. The Detroiters can only watch the team fail.
And it is also the kind of failure that is trampled under the feet of the opponent and can never look up. Their lonely old lion king will finally come to the day of withdraw from the stage. Their opponent is a group of crazy beasts!
When the Pistons are defeated, the fans may not believe it all or are unwilling.
But most people can still keep calm, because they also know that they are unwilling and can't change the result.
If you lose, you will lose. Even if you find 10,000 reasons and excuses, you can't cover up the final score.
The Pistons dragged down the top throne in the East, but the Celtics left Detroit very quietly. There was no cheering or celebration. These guys were just as when they came, a little flamboyant but not arrogant.
Although they could slap out the blocks and slam dunk wildly on the court, a group of green-shirted bandits quietly slipped on the court. They didn't even care what the reporters were asking.
Isn't it worth celebrating to kill the boss in the east? Don't forget, they were eliminated from the playoffs by their opponents last season. How can this be a revenge? Shouldn't they be in the opponent's home court?
In the face of such doubts, no one on the Celtics stood up to explain, but Xie Miaomiao and Murphy, who followed the team to the next away game, knew some inside stories, but they certainly would not tell anyone.
"There's nothing to celebrate. It's not that you won the Eastern Conference Finals or the finals. It's just a regular season. If you win, you win. It doesn't matter who the opponent is. This is just the beginning."
In the face of further questions, Chen Feng just left such a sentence. In fact, not only does he think so, but the rest of the people are almost the same, especially the role of Rivers, and he will not be complacent because of a victory in the regular season.
The Celtics are not plotting the position of the boss of the Eastern Division of the regular season, or they are not only plotting this, but also playing the foundation in the playoffs, and the final battlefield is the main thing.
How can you be a boss in the regular season? What can you do to be the first in the league? If you admit your coward in the playoffs, the results of the previous 82 games will be invalidated. Whether you admit it or not, it will be the same.
Just like the Mavericks last season, what happened to the regular season boss? Don't you still get beaten like a dead dog by the Warriors? It has become an honor for the Warriors to write a stroke in the history of the team. I'm afraid even the history of the NBA will leave such a stroke, and the Mavericks are destined to be that background.
So, Rivers and his team will not make the same mistake. At least they will not hold the position of the eastern boss without killing the last threshold. In that case, it will be a complete tragedy.
Now the Celtics are plotting the finals. Isn't it not only Chen Feng and Pierce what they think. Isn't Garnett and Ray Allen, who just joined this season, also aiming for this goal?
Since everyone's goals are the same, the current victory is just a beginning. There is no need to be complacent about it. Whether it's a winning streak or taking the Pistons, this is just the Celtics' departure!
Although there is no celebration and publicity, the Celtics took the Pistons to the top of the Eastern Conference, which really made Boston excited, especially those loyal fans who are looking forward to the team's shame, which are even more crazy!
"MYGOD! We killed the piston! We have revenge! We are the boss of the East!" This crazy argument can be seen everywhere on the official website of the Celtics. It's definitely a crazy night.
And many media that were originally ready to stand in a neutral position to look at the Celtics' new season record have also changed their tone and have always believed that the Celtics are an important candidate for the championship this season.
At least in the battle of the Eastern Conference, no one can stop these guys. Even the Pistons have fallen. Do you still expect the Heat, the Bulls or the Cavaliers to stand up? Overturn them to the ground?
Maybe now we can expect someone to end their winning streak. We have to look at the Western Conference. In the east, these animals not only despise the heroes, but also bring enough deterrence to make people afraid to move.
The Celtics' winning streak is still continuing, and they are still using such a strong performance to bring devastating changes to the pattern of the Eastern League. Now who dares to say that these future Bostonians who gamble can't bring miracles?
Know the Pistons. If these guys will sweep the Eastern Conference now, I'm afraid not many people will be surprised.
This is the respect brought by strong strength, and the Celtics are becoming terrible...
