Chapter 320 Mechanized Troops
It takes such a big battle to deal with a rookie. It is estimated that before the start of the second game between the Pistons and the Celtics, no one would have thought that Sanders would lock Chen Feng under the basket in such a way.
It is estimated that Chen Feng's first game left a deep impression on the Pistons. Sanders has regarded this boy as the biggest hidden danger, so as soon as he whistled in the second game, he immediately made adjustments in defense.
As long as the Pistons think about it, they can casually weave a huge net with any opponent, covering his range of activities and limiting his ability. If necessary, it is even a stifling state.
Although the defensive strength of the Pistons has declined slightly after Ben Wallace's departure, the structure created by Larry Brown is still there and has not yet collapsed, which is enough for the Pistons to gain a foothold in the NBA.
A cunning guy like Brown may not be able to expect him to attack, but to let this guy's team play a defensive side, he will definitely make most opponents feel a headache for that tough defense.
This is true in the 76ers. There is still no change in the Pistons. That habit has lasted for decades, and Larry Brown can definitely tailor it and reflect the overall role in defense.
Even if the old man has left, what he left for the city of Detroit is also wealth. Although Sanders has been a scourge since he came, that kind of heritage can survive for more or less a few years.
I dare not say that at least among these competitors in the East now, there is no one who is the opponent of the Pistons. Even if these tough guys lose, most of them are unfavorable to attack.
There's nothing I can do. It can only be said that it's because the offensive ability is limited, and I can't blame others. There are really few teams that can achieve a balance between offense and defense. Maybe the Spurs are one. The Pistons are worse than the opponent, and it's just scoring efficiency.
So, when they want to calm down and fight with you little by little defensive skills, and have a life-fighting idea, you must understand what kind of fierce beasts you are facing.
But no one thought that Sanders' target was Chen Feng, not Pierce, who was also crazy in the last game. After all, Chen Feng is still a rookie, and Pierce has been the core of his long-standing fame.
And Pierce's performance in the last game was also crazy, especially in the third quarter, several key goals disrupted the Pistons' defensive rhythm, the Detroiters' pursuit was stifled, and Pierce's contribution accounted for more than half.
No matter who is against the Celtics, Pierce is probably the focus of the defense, but the target Sanders chose this time is obviously to only put the boss of the green shirt in the second place of the focus on defense.
These guys of the Pistons have played jaw-dropping siege tactics. All the defensive focus is following Chen Feng. The only purpose is to cut off the guy from the outside line and completely lock him up.
One of the means of McDais and Rashid Wallace's attack and defense, the most annoying thing is that the peripheral pass can't be handed over to Chen Feng smoothly. Rondo is entangled by Billups and dares not cut in easily.
And Pierce's side also had to cheer up to prevent Prince's harassment. The gibbon-like guy was obviously different from the downturn of the last game. He had been robbed close to him from the beginning of the game, which was very fierce.
This kind of strength of defense may have been encountered by the Lakers at the beginning. O'Neal had this kind of experience of being caught under the basket at that time, but the two Wallaces fought together. The hand-to-hand fight was extremely tragic.
However, everyone knows what kind of existence O'Neill is. Anyway, he is also a player destined to enter the Hall of Fame in the future, and the two Wallace blocked him, which was very hard.
Just like two gray sharks fighting with a great white shark, it is not an equivalent, but sharp teeth can still cause trouble for the other party, and many people will think it is worthwhile for such a siege.
After all, when they collided with the Lakers in the finals, no one would think that the Pistons had the ability to besiege O'Neal. What they could do was to interfere with O'Neal's performance as much as possible, and they didn't expect to really lock him up.
But a few years later, Detroit fans saw this scene and appeared in front of them again, but the person who was stared was replaced by a first-grade rookie, and the person who stared at him also changed from two Wallace to McDace partner Rashid, but the brutality of the hand-to-hand battle did not diminish much, and it was still physical intercourse. Entanglement.
Er, several big arms are entangled together, and there is absolutely no beauty, not to mention the ornamental. The attacking firepower of this bull and the knight is different, and the Pistons and the Celtics are fierce.
The Pistons are going to work hard! Seeing the state of the opening, Rivers can clearly feel this. It's really a very fierce interception and interception. The Pistons can even compete for every goal!
This is completely different from the first game. In the first game, those guys have been trying to control the rhythm, control the direction of the game and strengthen their playing style in the attack, and did not really fight hard.
Even when he was behind, he was doing it at his own pace. The formation was not messy and was still stable. However, the outburst of the Celtics made the opponent very uncomfortable, so he lost in the end.
In this game, the Pistons obviously gave up the idea of controlling the game. Instead, they forced you to make mistakes with strong defense. Even if you want to stabilize in the chaos, you have no chance at all.
The Pistons will not give you the opportunity to stop and adjust the ball control, and they are not one-on-one, but wolf tactics. As long as the Celtics' transfer ball is a little slower, it is a besieged life.
No matter who holds the ball, it's good. As long as you dare to control it, the bag clip and containment will stick to you like a shadow, either forced grabbing or a close hand-to-hand fight. There is only one purpose, that is, to disrupt your rhythm.
Especially at the offensive starter of the Celtics, Rondo has to face the close care of Billups almost all the time. As long as the ball is in his own hand, he will bear the interference and the threat of breaking the ball.
This is simply a two-level confrontation in the last game. Stability has always been Rdo's label, but after all, he is just a freshman in the first grade. In a one-on-one situation, there is still a certain gap with Billups.
When the old man began to fight for his life, the threat that burst out was probably far greater than any confrontation. Billups originally relied on defense to make a steady fortune, but now he is used to deal with Rondo, as if he were going all out.
Otherwise, you can't explain why this guy can fight for the ball with Rho on the floor, and it will also show a very aggressive state. And since the beginning of the game, it has always been such a tough play. Ron can catch the ball, but if you want to control it, want to be sudden, I'm sorry, this won't work in front of Billups. Pass.
I'm afraid that others can't experience this kind of pressure. Only by experiencing it yourself can you know how strong this sense of oppression is. It can't be said that it's hard to move, but at least that kind of interference will make you breathless.
He has faced Nash face-to-face, and has also played against Iverson and others. Although Ron has only entered the league for a season, at least he has secured the Celtics' starting line-up, which is not a pure rookie.
What's more, Rondo's performance on the point guard is not only eye-catching, but at least he can conquer many critics. In the Celtics system, he can also firmly occupy the starting line-up.
But the gap between the regular season and the playoffs is here. You can average ten assists per game in the regular season. Here in the playoffs, it is a serious challenge for you to keep the data without mistakes.
You may encounter opponents who are not as good as your own in the regular season, but the old goblins within the threshold of the playoffs are not so easy to deal with. Old monsters like Billups are never good at it.
If Rondo wants to control the ball, he will be pasted. If he wants to pass the ball, he will be disturbed. Anyway, as long as he holds the ball in his hand, Billups will do everything he can to make Ron unable to pass the threatening ball.
Especially for the interception of the inside line, Billups may let Rondo create opportunities for Pierce and Spreville, but as long as this boy wants to deliver shells to Chen Feng, he will resolutely block all angles.
If you want to pass, you can. If you want to send a beautiful score to Chen Feng steadily, you have to prevent Billups from reaching out to break the ball. Rondo also tries to disrupt the opponent's defense with a breakthrough, but the effect is not good.
Especially in the first three or four minutes after the opening, Rondo saw that the passing route was often locked by the opponent, so he tried to cut in from the bottom line on both sides by using blocking or cover in the entanglement with Billups.
But compared with the Pistons, the Celtics are not experts in covering, and Hamilton and Billups have been together for a long time, and the complement between each other is quite timely.
Rando cut in with the ball. As a result, as soon as he asked Jefferson to help him block Billups, Hamilton over there followed. As soon as the speed dropped, Billops' pursuit over there was immediately killed.
There were two areas surrounded between the three-second zone and the three-point line by the opponent after the breakthrough, both for this reason, and these two rounds finally caused Rondo's mistakes, and the Pistons took the opportunity to fight back twice.
Once it was Billups' own straight-line dragon layup, and once it was Hamilton's empty-cut basket after receiving Billups' pass. When the Celtics tried to tear open the piston defense line, they were hit by the opponent's mistake to hit a quick counterattack. This kind of attack has the highest success rate and consumes the most physical energy. Less.
The first game was that the Celtics were far ahead in this statistic. Now, the Pistons have used their strong defense to pinch the Celtics' veins and attack its weakness again and again.
In less than six minutes, the Celtics made a total of four mistakes. This bad situation is almost unimaginable at ordinary times, but it is now in front of Rivers and must be solved urgently.
18:12, although the score gap is not big, the aggressive momentum shown by the Pistons simply gave Rivers a headache, and the fans on the sidelines began to roar crazily.
In the first game, these guys were already bored, so after the game started, seeing the team's such a hot and wild oppressive defense, more than 10,000 old men were tumbling and shouting crazily.
Even the cheerleaders on the sidelines kept waving the flower balls in their hands and began to encourage the players of the Pistons with cheering with the fans who waved their arms and roared at the Celtics.
"Fuck, the defense of those guys is like playing with their lives. Now even this group of factory girls are also joining in the fun. Is it really him!" Looking at the cheerleaders who are still at the level of factory girls, Chen Feng can only express his anger in such words. For more than six minutes, he didn't get a point, and even had only two rebounds. One.
Rivers called a pause, which only made these guys breathe a sigh of relief. The Pistons were too fierce. If they paused, it was likely to be pulled out a bigger gap in the score, which was probably the worst result.
After playing for only six minutes, Chen Feng did not feel tired, but the anger in his heart lingered.
Even the Pistons' cheerleading team's performance can make him feel a little irritable, that's why he said that.
Usually, Chen Feng makes others angry. Today, it is a retribution. This half of the game may be the most annoying and depressing six minutes since he entered the NBA. How to play and how not.
In the face of the bag clip, the first way to think of it should be to divide the ball out, but Chen Feng rarely considers such a problem when playing on the street. When he is on the street or alone, he is obviously a floating cloud.
Even if by the end of the regular season, Chen Feng's average assists less than three times per game, it is mostly because of this guy's fast attack after grabbing the rebound in the backcourt, giving Rondo a chance to fight back.
He really did most of the cover at the high level of the inside line, but the passing response after the position was obviously not a few times.
Sanders also saw that Chen Feng played very frequently on the inside. Occasionally, most of the cooperation was to receive the pass given to him by Weber and Jefferson, and then attacked the basket. After receiving the ball, this guy rarely launched a low response under the basket. Even if it was a pass, it was mostly for Pierce, who wandered in the periphery looking for an opportunity to shoot. Or Novak, who is waiting for a three-point chance in the vacant position, is really pitiful compared with making the ball for Jefferson.
There have been two times, both because Rashid has returned to defense, and Jefferson did not seize the opportunity to score.
In the first six minutes, Chen Feng didn't get a point. Jefferson only contributed two points and two rebounds, and also made a mistake, that is, Rashid retreated. Then Jefferson wanted to give the ball to Chen Feng under the basket, but before the ball could be shot, he was slapped by Hamilton behind him. Go.
This is not that there is no call between Chen Feng and Jefferson. The main reason is that the boy's ability to work alone is too strong. Often when the ball reaches his hand, it is already the end of the attack, and there is rarely a transfer.
The result was such a less obvious loophole, which made Sanders seize the opportunity and began to create obstacles for Chen Feng on the inside. When Chen Feng wanted to pass the ball several times, he found that his route had been blocked.
Chen Feng himself is not a big man who has the habit of using a pass to tear open the opponent's defense. As a result, such a big net covering him over him was forced to hold him.
You should not only pay attention to the front of McDyce, but also guard against Rashid's blocking, and once it is wrapped, MacDace's hand is very fast. Chen Feng held the ball twice and was almost cut off by the opponent.
This level of bag defense, in cooperation with the harassment of Billups and others, even if Chen Feng uses the extremely sharp knife, he can't stand so many layers of blocking and interception. This highly targeted defense method is really annoying, and the piston's tough defense system, once activated, will see the power in it. Force.
Whether it is in the regular season or the last round of the Bloody Raptors, Chen Feng has never played such a depressing game. It's not that he can beat McDes, but the Pistons didn't give him this opportunity to exert his strength.
One around the front and the other top defense. Unless Chen Feng can open the defense of two people without exerting force, this is a huge net that will firmly entang him and make him unable to move.
Jefferson, who was emptied over there, had a chance, but the sharpness of the Pistons' trap digging is here. They will force the Celtics to move the ball out of the most dangerous areas in defense, and they have been causing trouble for Chen Feng, so that he can't send help to the emptied Jefferson inward way. Attack.
Occasionally, one or two to prevent misalignment can also let Rashid interfere. I don't expect to succeed every time, but as long as it can give Jefferson a little pressure, this is the completion of the defensive task.
The dilemma of the inside line made Rivers frown, but now we can only hope that the opponent's oppressive defense can slow down and make these stunned guys breathe a sigh of relief. Otherwise, even Rivers does not know what will happen. After all, Chen Feng's attack has been contained so fiercely, which is a little beyond the prediction before the game. Let alone Rivers, I guess the audience on the sidelines, the media, and even the big-mouthed commentators didn't expect this.
Rivers is not God. Even if he has been in the NBA for several years, he will not be able to solve the problems around him at any time like Einstein. This damn game has been out of his control from the beginning.
Sanders wants to lock the Celtics' inner attack like this, not to turn them off, but to reduce the threat to the lowest point, continuous replenishment, and the combination of internal and external lines. This is more like a cruel strangulation battle. Every attack point of the Celtics is in the whirlpool of being entangled and strangled. Medium.
The Pistons are now like an unmiscable machine, using their tight cooperation to tighten the rope on the Celtics' neck little by little, which is a suffocating feeling.
Detroit's mechanized troops are showing their iron-blooded side, ruthlessly erasing the Celtics' **. The feeling of coldness to the bone is eroding the confidence of Boston fans...
(Well, how should I evaluate the Pacers' game against the Lakers? The Iron March... All right... Throwing Kobe's free throw, the Lakers only have 30 free throws and 12 hits? Do you dare to be more inaccurate? If you can't score a free throw, what else can you do? Is Los Angeles going to become a steel mill? Your sister, they have all turned into iron workers. Can they still do it? Brother, please be more professional. At least learn from Kobe, three pairs! 40 points, 10 rebounds and 10 mistakes...)
