Chapter 314 Unexpectedly
The Celtics' toughness is well known this season. After more than 20 years of silence, these guys have finally turned over. A draft has been completely changed. As an opponent, the Pistons don't like this feeling.
They also swept their opponents in the first round, but before hitting them in the second round, more people still bet on the Pistons, thinking that these guys could defend their Eastern boss's throne with the results in the semi-finals.
Both the media and the institutions of the gambling company voted for the Pistons.
The former champion, most of the champion members, mature team structure, stable performance, plus their thirst for honor, after all, some of them are about to leave Detroit.
Before leaving, let's go to the finals and win the championship again. I believe this is the desire of most people, and the Pistons also have this strength. I believe there are few teams that can compete with.
In terms of the odds of winning the championship, the Pistons may not have much advantage, but everyone knows that in the playoffs, the chances of winning between the Spurs and the Pistons are far greater than those of the popular Knights and the Bulls.
It is estimated that the Suns can be sharper than them, but I'm afraid no one can easily make a conclusion about how much a team that is stronger in attack than defense. At least the odds of Phoenix are not much higher than that of the Pistons.
At least before the start of the game, no one will think that the Celtics will have a chance to reach the Eastern Conference Finals or the Finals.
The young beast represents danger. Similarly, it also represents immaturity. In the playoffs, if you want to go further, you need to have enough experience to support, but the Celtics are very lacking.
But these guys who look young and a little immature can make the craziest attack. Everyone knows that these beasts in Boston have impact, but no one can think that they will rush so fiercely.
If Barkley says at the beginning of the first quarter that the Celtics will definitely win, then many people will choose to bet with him, and then the bet is still for Barkley to kiss the donkey's ass in public.
Of course, if Kenny Smith wants to hurt Barkley, he should not miss such an opportunity.
But Kenny is sometimes kind. This kind of kindness often brings you some benefits. For example, you don't have to kiss the donkey's ass just like Barkley because of such a bet.
Kenny Smith didn't make that kind of bet with Barkley, but he still lost a breakfast to the fat bald man, because the final score was fixed on the big screen, which was really an unexpected result.
"Well, well, I'm already thinking about how to go home and explain to my wife why I'm going out for breakfast with this bald guy around me, and it's very likely that he will swipe my credit card."
For such a result, Kenny Smith can only comfort himself with a taunting tone and helplessness, because he knows that Barkley will never eat very thrifty because he has breakfast, and he, the unlucky man, pays for money. The unpersonal bald man, will definitely eat a lot. Dun.
But spending some money to plug that guy's big mouth is a good way to clean his ears.
Because the game is over, Barkley's broken mouth is always nagging endlessly. Whether he is with Smith or Miller, he is boasting about the wise prediction just now.
Before the first quarter is over, this guy said that the Pistons are at home tonight, but it is likely that they will turn over the boat in the ditch. I didn't expect that this dead bald head, who rarely wins at the gambling table, really has a little potential. Just like his prediction, the Pistons really lost the ratio. Race!
No one may have thought of this result. After all, in the previous first round, the control ability shown by the Detroiters was comparable to the seven games of the Spurs finals.
But such a team that was favored by countless people before the game really fell, and there was no resistance.
34:28, the score in the first quarter was actually normal. After a period of stalemate, in the last two minutes, there was something wrong with the Pistons' attack, and they failed to score for more than a minute.
But the Celtics also took advantage of this time to win a 2+1 by Pierce' strong attack on the inside, and then Chen Feng took a position under the basket, held Wallace behind his back, and threw a small hook on the left.
Then Billups threw another three-pointer in under cover. Although he was 6 points behind in the first quarter, everything did not seem to be out of the original track, and the Pistons still had three quarters to turn over.
And the Celtics don't suppress the Pistons' attack. On the defensive end, they also have loopholes, but these guys' offensive efficiency is very high, which makes Detroit fans very bored.
Some of the attacks that could have been defended were inexplicably scored by the Celtics, especially the bald boy in the No. 99 uniform, who was simply a demon.
Every time there is a problem with the Celtics' attack, the guy can stand up on the inside line at the right time, either grabbing the missed ball and reorganizing the outside, or destroying the piston's attack on the defensive end.
Anyway, as long as the Celtics' attack is not successful, this guy will try to mess up the rhythm of the Pistons. The difference in the first quarter is so little bit worn out.
Detroit's supporters don't believe that this good luck can always be with the Celtics. They are all waiting to see the Pistons' counterattack. It's better to defeat the Bostonians and the damn bald boy.
At least after the game, when Barkley put his arms around Chen Feng's shoulder and chatted, he grinned at the little guy, "You don't know how many Detroit fans are cursing you right behind me."
"I dare say that except for Jordan, Detroiters have not hated anyone so much for a long time. You are definitely the most unwelcome visitor in the city now, but this feeling is really exciting!"
It is estimated that when Barkley said this, he remembered more about the era when he was a villain in the NBA, but Chen Feng only shrugged his shoulders and didn't feel much glory for such a statement.
"Anyway, no matter how much scolding it is, it won't affect the result. If they could scold me, they would have done it long ago, but that guy Rashid said at least a dozen FUCK when he was in opposition to me."
"It can be seen that the old guy is really a little hot, otherwise he would not have been kicked into the locker room because of two technical fouls in the fourth quarter. To be honest, if he doesn't go down, he still has to play this game."
When Chen Feng was with Barkley, he talked more nonsense and didn't want to communicate more with reporters, but this absolutely did not prevent him from chatting with his old friends.
Although I almost started a PK with Barkley in Las Vegas, now, the combination of these two old and young animals is more like a dangerous combination, but one guy has retired.
Takanian even said that if Barkley does not retire and put the two of them together, it will be a disaster for the NBA, because the mouths of these two guys are very harmful to others.
For example, Chen Feng joked that Lashed was the case. Originally, "Roaring Tianzun" was very angry, but after the game, he had to be choreographed behind by such two loveless guys.
Compared with Chen Feng in the whole game, Rashid estimated that he would rather be talked about behind his back than be suppressed in a face-to-face confrontation, and he was the one who suffered a loss in this confrontation.
In the first quarter, the Celtics led by 6 points. Before the start of the second quarter, Sanders urged on the sidelines to make the inside defense tougher and try to suppress Chen Feng and Jefferson.
As a result, Sanders didn't wait for his players to hit the tactical intention. Instead, it was Rivers who changed his moves first. He decisively replaced Jefferson with Weber, but the competition for the inside line did not decrease at all.
Originally, he was replaced by a solid guy and a veteran. He thought it was a defensive man, but Sanders' idea soon proved to be wrong. After Weber came up, he awakened the full-scale attack of the Celtics.
In the first quarter, Jefferson is going to beat Davis, three out of five shots, plus two free throws. The effect is actually good, but the trouble caused by this hand-to-hand fight is fouls and physical energy consumption.
But after Weber came up, his sway offensive rhythm completely brought the inside line to life. Davis couldn't stop Weber, who had accumulated energy for a long time. What's more, Chen Feng's release was the most terrible.
In the first quarter, there was a face-to-face attack between Chen Feng and Rashid, but as soon as Weber came up, this routine was immediately replaced by a high pass cut, and it was also based on Weber at the top of the three-second zone.
Weber's passing skills are super first-class among big guys. Even Rondo sometimes can't make this old guy so smooth, and Weber has a height, holding the ball in a high position, and has an innate advantage.
Taking the initiative and taking the lead in making changes, Rivers finally had an addiction, that is, holding other people's noses.
Sanders became a tragic supporting role this time. Even at his doorstep, he was disrupted by Rivers' continuous substitution.
Webb came on the court, which brought more trouble to Rashid Wallace's defense. Originally, Chen Feng's strong hit gave him a headache, but this time it was more appropriate. The guy could run and fight.
Originally, the boy's mobility was strong. At first, Wallace could slightly control his attack route with his arm span. By this encounter, Chen Feng did not care about that kind of interference at all.
Chen Feng's arm span is not at a loss. Coupled with his mobility and super bouncing skills, it is a mobile turret that can be activated at any time and can enter the basket at any time.
This makes Wallace have no way. In addition, Weber's scoring ability is not weak, and Jefferson can rotate. In addition, Perkins is on standby at any time, and the internal pressure of the Pistons has more than doubled.
In particular, the direct passing of the inside and inside between Weber and Chen Feng is even more lethal. This variant of the twin-tower tactic is a set of means that Riverster intended to polish at the end of the season.
He hasn't appeared in the regular season. Even if he met the Raptors in the first round, Rivers was not willing to take it out. He just gave the Pistons a little "surprise".
This treasure is the right bet. Weber is in a very good state. He played 23 minutes and sent 7 assists, and he also scored 12 points under the staring of Davis, plus 5 rebounds and 1 block.
The old guy's 7 assists, 5 are direct passes to Chen Feng, and his pass is not that kind of simple conveying. What he catches is the opportunity for Chen Feng to cut in. It can almost be said that people arrive, the ball arrives.
This kind of attack is completely unpreventable. You can only look around and be full of anger. It was because of this that Wallace couldn't keep his temper in the fourth quarter and shouted at the referee for a long time.
As a result, the guy was also directly struck out because of this. Two technical fouls kicked back directly back into the locker room. As for the reaction after the game, it is estimated that in addition to the fine, he has to be criticized by many reporters.
But Chen Feng himself knew that if he had looked at the opponent's charge several times under the basket.
I guess he can't stand his temper, not to mention the "Roaring Tianzun" whose temper is already very hot.
And the Celtics' peripheral firepower points are also blooming everywhere. The inner line is pressed enough to death, and the outer line can find opportunities. Novak's second quarter is also replaced. There are Rondo transporting ammunition everywhere, and the Celtics are all kinds of bombings.
The 6 points difference in the first quarter were not yet recovered. As a result, 4 points were left by the opponent in the second quarter. As soon as the first two quarters were played, they had lost 10 points, which had completely disrupted Sanders' tactical adjustment rhythm.
Although they began to chase little by little with their strong defensive skills in the third quarter, the Celtics, which have completely gone crazy, are really difficult to contain, and their feel is also shocking.
In the face of Hamilton's defense, Novak still fired continuously on the outside line, throwing five three-pointers in the whole game, and Pierce took 25 points, which made Prince in the opposite position unable to see the characteristics of the defensive expert at all.
However, compared with these, Chen Feng left the most impression on those Pistons fans. He played for 43 minutes, 26 points, 16 rebounds and 3 blocks. This statistic is almost the sum of the Pistons' internal contributions.
But the most surprising thing is the distribution of Chen Feng's scores, with 8 points in the first quarter and 6 points in the remaining three quarters.
Whenever there is a key ball to deal with, as long as Pierce can't open the situation, Chen Feng can cut a channel for the Celtics inside, that is, he made three of the three shots after the opening of the fourth quarter, so that the situation that had just tilted towards the Pistons was immediately reversed, so Barkley said that with this boy, he could Win!
Just like no one could have thought that the Mavericks in the West would lose to the Golden State Warriors, on the first day of the second round, the Eastern boss was knocked down by the Celtics.
Many people are even thinking, "Is it that the Black Eight Legend in the West has just come to an end, and the East will come out again?"
This is a completely unexpected result, but for the more than 10,000 live audience watching the game, what they feel is definitely not the gap in strength between the two sides.
Those big guys from Boston brought not only a fierce charge, but also a fierce temperament. Is it an accident? Maybe it was an accident, but they won.
Maybe this night will be talked about by many people, but there is more feeling. The silent Celtics have come back, and they are planning to wipe their swords with the blood of the eastern boss!
Accident? Those Boston bandits who have been used to knife-and-beaten enemies this season, but they don't feel that way...
(Well, it's not too late today. Let's praise myself. Well, I feel good about myself. You can criticize me. If you don't go to work on weekends recently, you are watching football. If you have nothing to do, you can join the group and talk together. I find that the time to chat is far more than the time of typing. What's wrong with this? T_T, in fact, it's all the bad guys in the group who hooked up with me, really!)
