The Pistons will not surrender, and even if Sanders dares to do this, Rivers will not easily make a move.

After all, they are the boss of the East. The centipede is dead but not stiff. Besides, the Detroit Pistons are still alive now. It is not that easy to completely overturn them. If they are not done well, they will be bitten.

The powerful style of the Detroits has been branded since the Chuck Daly era and is not that easy to conquer. Moreover, this is the opponent's home court, and being able to take away a victory is already considered completing the task.

So before the second Eastern Conference semi-finals began, Rivers warned every player during the rest period, "Winning the first game does not mean that you have reached the Eastern Conference finals, this is just the beginning."

"If you want to relax your nerves, then your opponent will have a chance to kick your ass hard."

"You guys, it's better to take your heart back. Don't always think about the female reporters in low-cut clothes at the door. If those guys roll the sheets with you, I promise I'll go to the newspaper the next day."

What we should say is to say, Rivers knows what kind of guys they are. If they don't tighten the reins, it will probably not take long to get their tails up to the sky.

Especially recently, many people have been holding the Celtics and saying that they also praised these guys for being the new generation of NBA. They have the capital to overturn strong teams and will definitely be able to step on the Pistons to enter the Eastern Conference Finals or even the finals.

This kind of praise is no longer a strange thing. Everyone knows the potential of Celtics teammates, but now this potential is in the transition period. No one is sure whether it can mature quickly. Therefore, Rivers doesn't want his players to forget who they are because of this kind of praise. The Celtics are not yet a top-notch team.

"Boss, it seems you...ah, it's quite a scam for you to not finish your finishing work. Let's be sad." Although Rivers said that he was hitting these wild boys, he was inevitably teased by these guys.

In fact, there is no need to say anything more to Thibodeau and Rivers. With Pierce and Chen Feng, there are not many people who will be surprised by how the people around the world are praising them. The same group of people said two weeks ago that the Celtics would be swept out. Those reporters are the most unconventional existences, so don’t care what they are nagging.

As for those female reporters or hosts who are wearing low-cut clothes and swaying outside without any trouble, they are more like a group of flesh and blood waiting for big fish to take the bait. If you don't want to cause trouble, it's best to stay away from these dangerous items.

Moreover, the media pointed the artillery fire at the Pistons in a row, which was no good for Boston. If you don't ask for trouble, it would be a suffocation. Rivers was not so arrogant that he thought his team was perfect.

The Celtics' animals have been together for less than a season. They have joined Weber and Spreeville in the later stages. Now the team can play so smoothly, relying on a kind of motivation.

Once the game is not going well, maybe a lot of things will be exposed, but only the time left for Rivers is only these 82 regular season games to adjust. Others will think that it is enough, but Rivers knows that it is still a lot short of it.

The first game was very thrilling. In the second half of the third quarter, when the score was pulled closer, Rivers' heart kept beating wildly. He was really afraid that the boys under his command would be over if they couldn't hold back.

Fortunately, Chen Feng and Pierce were in a hurry, so the Pistons' counterattack failed, but no one could guarantee that the next game would be so smooth, and it was when the opponent was already alert.

It cannot be said how relaxed or careless the Pistons played in the first game, but one thing is undeniable that they were indeed a little confused by the impact of the Celtics in the opening stage.

Even Billups made several fatal mistakes. If it weren't for being so harsh at the beginning, it would probably not have played so smoothly in the later stage of the game, and the Pistons would not have been in a passive pursuit.

This time you can attack, then the opponent will be nervous from the beginning and will not make mistakes in the next game.

At least Billups won't let anyone attack easily, and by looking at his confrontation with Rondo in the next few quarters, you can tell that this guy's skill is so skillful that he can mess up Rondo. This is the deterrent power of the old world.

Two away games have already won one, which was a question I had considered before coming to Detroit. If I could win two games in a row, I believe no one can refuse, and Rivers would not.

But the Pistons couldn't just accept their fate. The Detroits who experienced the failure had certain counterattacks, and the strength would be surprising. Rivers knew very well about this.

So he will always remind his players not to be careless. The series has not ended yet, and everything is still unknown. You just won the beginning, not all.

If you want to enter the Eastern Conference Finals, you have to really defeat the Pistons. It is not just a game, but a continuous blow, so that these tough Detroiters will die more thoroughly in the head-on impact.

But Rivers can only make all preparations now and wait for the Pistons to counterattack at any time. Only by doing its best can the Celtics ensure that they will escape unscathed in Detroit.

"The lineup remains unchanged, but in some details, we can master the standards by ourselves. In the last game, our starting lineup was almost at risk of being sent off. This question cannot be repeated. If the foul is committed, it is valuable."

When Rivers summed up the last game, he analyzed with Thibodeau and the coaching staff that if the fouls can be controlled and the intensity of the confrontation will be much less pressure on the Celtics on the defensive end.

The opponent chased the score continuously in the last game, which was because of too many fouls, and the Pistons frequently put the free throw line.

The Pistons are not a team that lives on offense. Their specialization in free throws is amazing. They made 21 free throws in 23 free throws, and almost all the free throws were converted into scoring. Who can resist this!

Rivers didn't expect that it took him a long time to pull the score wide, and then the opponent broke through. Even if he didn't score, the free throw alone would be enough to make him feel a headache.

The defensive movements of those wild boys must be more regular. Although they cannot limit their fierceness, Rivers also needs these guys to know when to start, rather than be ruthless.

Compared with Sanders who need to change or motivate the team's morale, the Celtics only need to maintain and always maintain this offensive posture, and then continue to deal with the opponent in the second game.

The five starting main players remain unchanged, this is Rivers' decision. Since the first game was not bad, there is no need to set up a ** formation with the opponent. The surprises can't be found by looking for them.

Instead of seeking change, it is better to be more steadily, test the opponent slowly, and make moves slowly. There are not so many strong teams that can enter the playoffs who will be killed by a blow, at least they have to swing a combination of punches.

In many cases, the team's fighting with the team depends on stable performance. Rivers' first encirclement and annihilation battle was beautiful enough, but the same tactics cannot work every time. If the Pistons were to be considered Saint Seiya, it was not bronze or gold. If one move was used too much, it might not be effective.

Therefore, the starting lineup remains unchanged and the tactics remain unchanged, which means putting pressure on the opponent on the field, forcing the Pistons to play simpler and more straightforwardly, and not giving them too many opportunities to double pick-and-roll or counter-run and cut in.

Compared with the Celtics' unchanged, Sanders' starting lineup has been slightly adjusted. Davis, who occupied the center position in the first game, did not continue to start, replaced by McDyce, and the rest remained unchanged.

Reduce the height of the inside and replace it with a more agile inside, Sanders' adjustment seems to be inclined to attack. After all, McDyce's level of mid-range shots is far higher than that of Davis, who was a blue-collar worker.

But at this time, the basket could not withstand Chen Feng's invasion and threw a blue-collar coolie on the bench. Sanders's change of formation puzzled many people, including Rivers, who were also wondering what he was going to do.

"Didn't play Davis, the height of the inside line has not dropped much, but the protection of the rebound has been weakened. It seems that Rashid will retreat to the basket. He and Mike Dyce are going to compete for rebounds, but the intensity of the confrontation is slightly lower than when he has Davis. Is that guy Sanders trying to compete for the scoring ability of the inside line?"

In fact, not only Rivers is a little confused, but even Thibodeau, who has always been accustomed to analyzing tactics, is a little puzzled. Although McDyce's comprehensive ability is stronger than Davis, he is not a pure blue-collar worker after all.

If you have to do dirty work and tiring work, it is more suitable for Davis's big guy with high physical strength and strong confrontation. It is better to expect Rashide to do this, than to expect his shooting to be more accurate.

Others were speculating about what Sanders was going to do for adjustment, but the guy knew very well why he did it.

"Remember the things that were asked for in training. The other party didn't make any adjustments. The last time they caught us off guard. So, now you have to fight back with this lesson."

Before playing, Sanders whispered to the Pistons' starting players to explain the tasks. After two days of short rest, this guy was considering how to limit the Celtics' impact. Now, he began to try.

Rivers was still speculating on why Sanders' adjustment was for, but the Pistons had already quietly taken action after the opening. When the whistle sounded, the Eastern Conference boss began to attack amid the shouts of Detroit fans. Although the Celtics once again took the lead in the jump ball and Pierce also successfully shot the first ball in the game, the Pistons' counterattack speed was far beyond Rivers' estimate before the game. The Pistons players who often attacked slowly unexpectedly made a fast break three-pointer.

Billups advanced quickly under Hamilton's cover. Before Rondo had time to interfere with him, the guy fired outside the three-point line. Almost as the Celtics retreated and defended, the ball had already penetrated into the basket. This fast counterattack style of chasing and counterattacking was not their usual habit.

But it is undeniable that after one round of offense and defense, the Pistons were already one point ahead. Rivers just frowned at this abnormal style of play and did not say much, but a kind of uneasiness is fermenting.

A few seconds later, Thibodeau heard Rivers curse in a low voice, "**! That guy turned out to be the idea! Hell! That guy is going to be in trouble! He's so damn it!"

Thibodeau was still thinking about the changes of the Pistons, but Rivers had already had a premonition of trouble. He saw a net, which was opening and covering Chen Feng...

(The second update is delivered, yes, it’s not smooth, it’s annoying)
