Chapter 376 It's not your turn to play counterattack
In five minutes, they won a 21-point bombardment. Even though the Pistons' defense is tenacious enough, they also seem to be a little overwhelmed. Even if Sanders has called a timeout, they can't stabilize their feet.
The Celtics attack is fierce, the Pistons' defense is hard, and they are not only overwhelmed by the opponent in defense, but also because of the opponent's crazy oppression, the Pistons's attack has become no threat.
Only Hamilton received two points from Billups, using his running position and mid-in-place to open the team at two 45-degree angles, and Prince also made an unexpected contribution to a three-pointer.
But such scoring efficiency can really be said to be a drop in the bucket. If it hadn't been for Pulups to eat Rondo twice, causing Ron's foul, he would have made four penalties and three times. I really don't know how big the score difference is.
But the score of 21:10 is fixed on the scoreboard, which looks very dazzling. I'm afraid neither the player nor Sanders would expect to be so embarrassed by a combination punch from the Celtics at home.
But Rivers thought that what he wanted was this effect, but according to his idea, the gap in the score should be even bigger. The hit rate of the animals under him was actually not very high.
It's just that they rushed fiercely, fiercely and fiercely enough, so they also played out some opportunities that were not opportunities, which also made the Pistons have no time to fight at all, so the score seemed a little one-sided.
If they can maintain the hit rate of the previous games, it is estimated that the score difference may be more terrible. Of course, everything can't go well. If it comes according to your idea, is this NBA still your vegetable garden?
Rivers's tough move worked, and looking at the silent stadium, and Sanders' frowns, including the low heads of the Pistons, the Celtics' fierce beating, it was really clever.
Even Thibodeau, the usually unsmiling guy, grinned, "It seems that the guy Sanders is very distressed now. He must want to say why those guys from Boston fight so unruly."
This sentence amused the big guys around him. There's nothing I can do. An honest man plays humor with you coldly, and you can't stand it. What's more, what this guy said is too sinister. He scolds people and doesn't spit out dirty words!
But what Thibodeau said is really true. Sanders is really a little distressed or confused.
The fierce impact of the Celtics made Sanders a little depressed. He had to call for a pause, and he knew very well that he had not figured out how to deal with this emergency.
It's not how incompetent Sanders is, but he really didn't expect that the other party would use such an extreme charge to compete with him. It was completely clear that the carriages and horses fought hard against him, which was even more fierce than the finals!
At this moment, Sanders can ask himself that he still underestimates the danger of his opponent. The guy who has always been chubby and looks lethal, far more aggressive and desperate than he thinks! As for his players, forget it, everyone knows what kind of players the Celtics are.
Rivers's death is likely to be infected by those guys. This group of animals really have no scruples.
Perhaps only those who have experienced it can know Rivers's fierceness. This guy is usually a fat and simple appearance. He is completely different from old Nelson or Sloan. It is rare to see him with a stiff face and not smile, but who says that a fat man can't be powerful. !?
Don't forget where he came from, what team he coached, and what tradition is there!
In the soil of Boston, there has never been any good people. Auerbach has branded the city. Do you really think that these are all good people who respect and abide by the law? At least on the basketball court, they will be very aggressive.
And this is a tradition that has been inherited for nearly 50 years, whether it is a trough or a peak, it has always been like this.
Now Rivers is just inheriting such a habit. His fierceness bursts out like a needle.
It won't make you see blood with a knife, but the kind of calculation like acupuncture, once you want to trap you, you can wait to die.
When you face him, you can know what the brutality of the tiger in his chest is. When he stands at the Auburn Hill Palace at this moment, standing at the opponent's home court, facing the boos of more than 10,000 people, he still dares to show his bayonet!
And he just dared to extend the bayonet to you and didn't care about the reaction of the fans. Even this guy stood on the sidelines and shouted loudly when the players were roaring. Looking at what he meant, he thought it was not cruel enough!
Your sister-in-law is already like this. What else do you want? Killing people can't nod their heads, but what do you think of Rivers's behavior? They all plan to dig other people's ancestral graves. Where on earth did this come from such a great hatred?
There's nothing to do. Rivers hasn't forgotten the lesson of losing the playoffs last season. If he doesn't die, he will definitely be eaten back. He doesn't want that to happen again, so he needs his players to show a more ruthless temperament as much as possible! Anyway, it's also to beat the opponent. Do you really need to keep a hand?
If you can firmly trample your opponent under your feet, don't show any mercy. This is the NBA world, the stage of the law of the jungle. You show mercy. When you get up tomorrow morning, you will be the unlucky guy who has been put on the ground.
Rivers doesn't think he will let go when the pistons have the upper hand, so he doesn't intend to relax.
"Continue to make trouble for your opponent in the attack, and pay attention to the hit rate. We are not the crazy people in Golden State. Old Nelson doesn't care about offensive efficiency, because he is a standard old madman."
"The Warriors are only plotting a place in the playoffs, but what we have to do is to hit the final championship, so don't go wrong with the details and maintain the success rate of the attack when suppressing the opponent."
"Your opponent is the boss of the East, but I think that position should change its name soon."
There is nothing to say about Rivers' tactical arrangement on the sidelines. He will not adjust his personnel or let these animals change their playing style. It's just that he wants to remind these animals. Don't forget what kind of tough role the other party is. Even if he is in the lead, don't relax, continue to put pressure, and completely defeat Detroit. Plug!
This is the top battle in the East. Maybe it is not a Tianwang Mountain battle during the long journey of the regular season. It may be just a competition that will soon be forgotten, but for Rivers, this is an opportunity for the Celtics. If you can't cut it quickly. If the opponent takes it down, there may be endless troubles in the future!
For Rivers and the Celtics, this is the decisive battle, because the last time they lost here.
So, today, no matter whether they are competing for the first place in the East, they will cut off the Pistons here!
Failure should be washed away by victory, which is an eternal rule. The last time they were eliminated from the playoff stage by their opponents, this time they had to make up for this defeat at the opponent's doorstep. Only victory can! Now the Celtics will not accept inexplicable defeats, no matter who the opponent is!
Celtic animals also don't care how they play at the beginning. The lead doesn't mean anything. In this league, there is never a lack of miracle moments, and no matter how big the reversal is, it's not that it hasn't happened. You don't want to be the background of that miracle. The best way is to pinch your opponent's fist. Death!
Rivers did not deliberately remind them of this, but told them that while attacking crazily, they should ensure their hit rate. The impact could not last for 48 minutes, but a stable shot can drag down the opponent, especially at the opponent's home court. They will not be willing to keep the visiting team ahead. State.
Even a tough opponent like the Pistons will not let the fans wait for more than 40 points, looking forward to their turnaround at the last minute. That kind of performance is very beautiful, but it is quite a test of the hearts of the supporters.
The animals of the Celtics know very well what kind of opponent they are facing now. Although the outside world is saying that the Pistons are old, they are no longer the king's division that can defeat the Lakers F4, but the skinny camel is bigger than the horse. These old guys in Detroit are still old and hot. Afraid.
I'm afraid no one doubts this. Otherwise, with the rise of the Bulls, the impact of the Cavaliers, and the Heat sticking to their positions, the Pistons can still guarantee that they will be ranked first in the East for two consecutive seasons. What does this mean? It only shows how terrible their strength is, and their stability is far greater than that of other opponents.
Rivers understands this. Similarly, his team members also know who he is facing.
In the face-to-face confrontation, the Pistons will not make mistakes easily. Even if you are very tough, these guys will be careful to deal with you. As long as you make a mistake, they will narrow the score gap little by little until the turn over. That's how the Los Angeles Lakers were killed by them. Of.
These old guys in Detroit are good at waiting for the right opportunity. They are patient and like good hunters, they can kill with one blow and are always ready to stage a reversal. This is the way the Pistons play. Over the past many years, they have been so calm. That's why Rivers told Team members should be stable! Even if you lead by 11 points, you have to stabilize. The other party has not been completely defeated by you!
Only when they are more stable than their opponents can they be the ones who win in the end, and they have a perfect start. The Pistons are not panicking now, but their rhythm is already chaotic, which is actually rare.
This is not a guess or speculation, but Rivers's observation of Sanders' expression. It is clear what the surprise on this guy's face represents. It's a kind of surprise and a feeling of confusion.
Because Sanders really didn't expect such a start, he thought it would be a stalemate of patience, and there would be no one-sided defeat. I also didn't expect that the fierce impact of the Celtics would make the score reach double digits in five or six minutes, and this pressure will continue to cause him trouble.
However, Sanders' stress resistance will definitely be much stronger than last season, and Rivers does not doubt this.
After all, this guy has also experienced the crisis after class, and also knows that he will be kicked out by the team at any time. People with this experience are not so easily overwhelmed by the current trouble, but he is still a little depressed.
Rivers knows that the guy will seek change and find a way to get the team out of this passivity as soon as possible. After all, this is at the home court of the Pistons. They know how to deal with these troubles, but Rivers also knows what he will do next. Whoever has the lead in this kind of confrontation between top teams will be qualified. Control everything.
He is now waiting for the opponent's move. What kind of change Sanders can make for the team? Rivers is also looking forward to it. If he can kill the Pistons with one stick, he may have a little less sense of achievement to conquer the old king.
This is not that Rivers is exaggerating his ability and the Celtics, but that successive victories have given them courage, especially at the beginning of today, the green shirts are gradually mastering their future trend.
In the past, they were just a challenger, so from this moment on, the roles have been changed. They will watch more opponents make moves at themselves, and then they stand at another height and begin to learn how to make moves!
This is a must-have process, unless you always like the trick of jumping up from the bottom and hitting the boss of the league. Where your buttocks sit, it determines how you want to think.
Although they have not yet overturned the Pistons, this strong impact has made the Celtics switch positions with their opponents. They are leading, while the Detroiters have to consider how to resolve this situation.
"Rodney, you are ready to play. Now you need your ability to break through. Changxi's ankle and old injuries are more suitable for you to attack Rondo on the point guard. That guy fouled twice. I need you to let him return to the bench as soon as possible. Most of the opponent's attacks are initiated by him, so now you have to take this engine. Get rid of it!"
Sanders knew that hesitating or retreating could not save the Pistons, so after thinking about it, he decided to replace Billups, not because the old guy's performance was not good, but because he needed more sprints!
This is like the impact of the Celtics after the opening, and the momentum of the opponent must be suppressed back! If they are allowed to play so freely, the Pistons' confidence will be broken, and there is really no hope.
Maybe Starky is not the best choice, but compared with the old Hunter, this little guy has an obviously stronger impact and scoring ability. Maybe he still lacks some experience, but now he can only choose trust.
The most important thing is that Rdo is a sophomore boy. Stacky's performance in college proves that he has the ability to break through the blockade, and in the face of Rdo, he may really be expected to open a gap in this point.
After all, Billups has fouled the boy twice. Sanders's requirements are not high. As long as he can get rid of Rondo, a guy who brushes assists when he has nothing to do, even if it is a victory, even if the victory is not big.
But if it can disrupt the Celtics' tactical arrangement, it's enough. This is a dangerous move, but wealth is dangerous. Maybe it will give the opponent an unexpected impact. Sanders also has a little expectation.
The staffing of the rest of the positions remains unchanged, and Billups will take a break. For the core of the Pistons, this is not a big deal. He does have an ankle injury. If he really breaks through, it will be really difficult.
The two attacks just now fouled Rondo because he had more experience than Lupus, and also because at home, he took the initiative to find Rondo twice, which made the boy suffer a secret loss in the duel.
If you really want to charge face to face, although Rondo still has a hard time with him now, it is impossible to eat as steadily as last season. After summer, that boy is gradually getting stronger!
Billups missed the ball twice just now. It was because he was disturbed by the boy behind him when he got rid of Rondo, so it was difficult to make a mistake in front of him.
The pressure brought by this kind of face-to-face confrontation is also passed from Rondo to Billups.
Now Billups has not yet slipped from the peak, but he understands that Rondo and the Celtics are starting to chase the already weak piston behind with an extremely strong charging speed, ready to overtake.
This is a very helpless sense of crisis, because you want to change, but you find that you can't do anything. You can only wait passively. Maybe you will be overtakene the Celtics, or you will be the next opponent.
And the speed and strength of the Pistons to the top are weakening. Whether you admit it or not, this is true.
Starky has been waiting for a long time. He understands what kind of big scene this is, which is related to the battle for the top name in the east. This gimmick that has been hyped by the media for half a day alone is enough to attract the attention of many people in this duel.
Few guys who want to stand out in the league stand out in the unknown competition. This kind of big scene is unattainable. What's more, Sanders is going to let Stucky be the main attack now!
The Pistons have never been the kind of team that dominates the world with offense, but Sanders can't expect the defense of the old team to last long. They are no longer the iron wall created by Larry Brown.
He was so embarrassed by the Celtics last season, and now you still expect to defend your opponent? This wave of fierce attack after the opening should be guarded! Instead of letting the opponent lead so much! Do you want to continue?
At least Sanders no longer has that kind of extravagant hope. He is to count on his opponents to make mistakes, but the Celtics are not the youth team of last season now. They do not lack experience, and even they are very specialized in this regard!
There is a group of old monsters sitting on the bench. If you really want to stabilize your position and let Kassel and the others come up, you can make the Celtics' feet chaotic. This is really difficult, and there is no hope at all.
If you want to mess up their tactical arrangements, you might as well grab a little fierce attack and get Rondo down!
The other four attackers are too sharp. Now Sanders can only find trouble with Rondo, and Starky, such a strong and agile little man, is very suitable for this kind of assault.
It's not that he was ordered to be in danger, but Starky replaced Billups on the court, which was indeed a little unexpected.
However, the Pistons fans didn't wait for what they wanted to do with this move. The guy who killed Detroit from East Washington University had already started on the court. Facing Ron, he was murderous.
"I may not be worse than you. I can score, but you can only pass the ball." Stacky didn't say anything in his heart, but he has planned to prove it with practical actions that he is stronger than Rondo!
As soon as the pause ended, the Pistons just sent out the bottom line ball. Starky, who was receiving the ball in his hand, had launched a charge, and Rondo, who intercepted the midfield, did not expect that the guy would be so fast!
A guy who is 1.96 meters tall and weighs 200 pounds starts so fiercely. Even if Rondo is prepared, he may not be able to stop him. Don't forget that Rondo's physique is not so tough.
Even if he gain weight in summer and then strengthen confrontational training, his physical condition can't be changed in a day.
Now Rondo is only 1.85 meters tall, plus a weight of 170 pounds. It is still very difficult for him to meet this impact face to face, and Starky is obviously unintentional!
I thought the Pistons would stabilize after Billups came off the court, but it turned out to be such a stunned charge. Rondo didn't follow him, so he looked at Staki passing by at high speed.
"Beautiful breakthrough! Rodney Starky showed us his tough physical flexibility! His opponent didn't have time to get stuck in his position, OH! God! This guy even has a big windmill dunk!"
The on-site commentary of the Pistons has been bored for a long time, and now we can finally find a chance to vent! He almost didn't shout out! There was nothing I could do. The silence in the first few minutes made Mount Auburn Palace like a cemetery.
Now as soon as Starky came up, he came with a breakthrough windmill dunk. The explosive action directly aroused the cheers and shouts of more than 10,000 people, and the sound boiled in an instant!
"Rodney! Rodney! Detroit! Detroit!" This kind of roar that suddenly broke out after a long time of boredom almost lifted the roof of the new stadium of Auburn Hill Palace.
Even Kenny Smith exclaimed, "Wow, this sound of cheering can't stand it. Detroit's home court is still so hot that Starky ignites the atmosphere of this stadium!"
The outbreak after the silence always looks a little spectacular. Starky's big windmill slam dunk is not very gorgeous, but this guy did ignite the blood of the more than 10,000 old men in Auburn's palace, even those ordinary factory girls on the sidelines. The team also began to kiss and wink at him.
If it weren't for the competition, I guess this boy would have walked over now and hooked his fingers to take away an adult topic that is not suitable for children who can go out with him to do all kinds of earthquakes or all kinds of field wars.
It is undeniable that Sanders can pick this boy from the rookie pile, and he does like his physical fitness and sharp ball style. He may lack some experience, but the aggressiveness is really terrible.
It may not be very successful to break the balance and reuse new players in the attack, but Sanders is really trying to change the current situation of the Pistons, especially the result of this game. He dares not really lose.
However, the impact after Starky came on the court was really fierce, and then this guy really got entangled in Ronor. It was the turn of the Celtics' attack. Rondo tried to get rid of it several times, but it was stopped by Starky on the periphery.
"What the hell!" The expression on Rondo's face is still like ET for ten thousand years, but there is an exclamation point in his heart.
He doesn't remember that he had too much intersection with Staki in college, but when he met him today, he could obviously feel the guy's fiery fighting spirit and the confidence to defeat him.
The height difference is half a head, and the opponent obviously has the upper hand in strength, and the opponent's footsteps and start are very fast.
This is obviously different from the confrontation with Billups and fighting with that old guy. What you need is experience. Rondo is not as experienced as Lupus, but he has Cassell and Spreville as partners, which is always more sophisticated than last season, and Billups is not fast, which can give him the opportunity to react and make up for. Will.
But Starky is definitely not that kind of cunning guy. What he believes in is speed and a tough breakthrough, which makes Rondo, whose height and weight do not have an advantage, feel uncomfortable. This kind of arrogant way of play is very hurtful.
Just like Chen Feng's restraining Rashid Wallace in the opposite position, Rahid is taller than him and more experienced, but when two people are one-on-one, the person who suffers at a loss is definitely not Chen Feng's boy.
Once he meets an opponent who is older than himself, Chen Feng pursues pure physical confrontation. He is a little different in height. He can make up for it by his super jumping power, and the younger the power is, the more it is. The boxing is afraid of being young is the same as applicable in the NBA. The good guy is better than the old guy. That's enough!
But this is also the trouble Rondo encounters now. Starky's power can bring him trouble, and the guy's speed is very fast. Although he is full of loopholes in defense, he can't stand it.
Rondo is really entangled, and he hasn't come out of the confrontation with Billups. Before that kind of adjustment is too late, Starky's charge has come, and the personal robbery is unprecedentedly fierce!
"Oh no!" When Rondo was pushed away by Staki and pushed away the basketball with his hand, he could only exclaim in his heart, but it didn't help. The guy had already shaken him off and rushed to the basket!
It has just been rewritten as a gap of 9 points, and it will be narrowed again? When Starky broke the ball, all Detroit fans were ready to stand up and cheer. They needed to make the atmosphere burst again!
"God-like steal! Starky is accelerating! He's going to dunk!" If all this is as expected, there should be a louder cheer, and then the Pistons begin to reverse!
I'm afraid Starky thought so when he got up in the three-second zone. What he wants is such a big scene. Everything is perfect. If he can lead the team to reverse, he will be successful.
Detroit fans will remember the person who helped the team get out of the desperate situation, and the people in this league will also know that in the car city of Detroit, there is a rookie named Starky, who is very powerful!
It's only one step away. When the basketball was fiercely grasped in his hand by Starky, the moment he hit the basket hard, his heart only thought that the basket trembled, and the net also flew over in the pull of this force.
There are cheers in my ears. If all this is in place, it will be another cheer!
But what Starky heard was not cheering, but a gust of wind. If it can be described, it was a breathtaking wind, followed by a force that could tear him to the floor.
The strong force made Starky's hand no longer have the strength to smash the ball into the basket again. He can only passively and helplessly let the force drag himself down from the air, and the basketball is also firmly nailed to the rebound!
The banging sound can make Starky understand what's going on, but the next second, in addition to the hard floor, there was only one fierce voice that greeted him. "Is this the place where you play reversal? Don't you get beaten at home? What the hell do you see! Once is not enough, do you want to do it again? Dream!"
Play counterattack? Er, Starkey, who is lying on the floor, certainly doesn't understand. Is there a guy who is more arrogant than him and reasonable with him? You can't even do this. Can you still have any hope?
Rondo has passed. It was a beautiful steal. But Starky forgot that the most livestock in the Celtics is definitely not Rondo, but a bare-headed Asian boy. He is the most vicious existence.
In his world, he is the only one who reverses others and wants to reverse him? You'd better think about it...
(Automatic update... I was really confused yesterday, and I'm still wandering at 38.5 degrees today. I'm really overwhelmed. I'm sorry...)
