Three hundred and seventieth chapters seize the throne
Updated: 2013-01-16
Billups, Hamilton, Prince, McDyce, Wallace, facing the Celtics' aggressive big guys, Sanders dared not take it lightly. He was eager to line up a stronger starting lineup.
But that's all the foundation of the Pistons. Thanks to Billups' timely comeback, it won't let the Pistons lose a core on the outside, but even such a lineup doesn't make Sanders feel at ease.
This lineup was also fighting the Celtics last season, but what was the result? It wasn’t until the seventh game that it almost won. Don’t forget that Garnett and Ray Allen were not in the opponent’s lineup at that time!
Now with those two tough guys, Sanders can't tell how strong the Celtics can be, but this is at the Pistons' home court, and Auburn Mountain Palace is not so easy to be captured!
This is not how arrogant Sanders is, but at least it is at the door of his own home. If he is beaten by his opponent, he will probably be embarrassed to face so many fans, so he can only calm down and take a desperate attempt.
The Detroit media has no obligation to advocate for the Celtics, but the fierce eleven consecutive victories in Boston are enough to put pressure on the Pistons fans. Even at home, those guys have the strength to win!
This is not looking for a way out for itself, but the fans of the Pistons know that it is not surprising that the ending of this game is. Those Boston animals may really pose a great threat to the Pistons.
Sanders has put his strongest lineup on the court, and he has also told all the players clearly in the locker room, "This is at home, but don't forget how strong your opponent is, don't be distracted."
In fact, Sanders wanted to say, don't underestimate the enemy, but thinking about the current situation between the two sides, the Pistons no longer have the qualifications to say that the other side underestimates the enemy. If you dare to underestimate the enemy, the ending may be predictable.
Sanders has prepared a lot for the game, and Rivers is not idle either. The Pistons are the strongest lineup to play, and the Celtics are also very cautious. Although this is just a regular season game, everyone knows its significance.
Not to mention that this is an opportunity to overturn the boss of the Eastern Conference, just for the old players who fought with the Pistons for seven games last season, this is a good time for them to take revenge. They have never forgotten that they have lost here.
"If you were there at that time, we might have reached the finals long ago, instead of just entering the second round and stopping, but this season is different." Pierce said before appearing.
Indeed, if Chen Feng was there in the life-and-death battle last season, it might be a situation, but now Pierce is not worried about the result of the game at all. Even if he talks about it here, the playoffs will be different.
This is not how superstitious Pierce is about Chen Feng's ability, but after spending a long time with that kid, you will always feel fearless. Now Chen Feng brings this confidence to the Celtics.
And this guy has proved how strong the vitality he can burst into in the team. I'm afraid no one in Boston will ignore the existence of this bald boy. No, it should be said that the entire league cannot.
This is true. Although he has less playing time per game this season, this guy's data can still be stable and improved, which is a bit cruel. Don't forget that Garnett is still there in the inside!
But even in front of Garnett, Chen Feng's limelight was not much better. Even the "Wolf King" himself said, "That kid is born to be a star who should live under the spotlight, which is simply too dazzling."
No matter what, Garnett is one of the top experts in the league. This arrogant guy can evaluate Chen Feng in this way, which has proved Chen Feng's ability from one aspect, and there is no need to prove it.
The results of last season have already shown many problems. Can the Celtics make it to the second round of the playoffs? Is it just because of the two rookies? If it weren't for the tough temperament that Chen Feng brought, maybe the Celtics are still hovering in the lows in the East, and Pierce will be considered to have no leadership ability.
Now? The eleven consecutive victories have already shown too many problems. Don’t say that you haven’t encountered a strong team. Just such a Celtic can complete the sweep. So what qualifications are other teams with nonsense? Don’t accept it? You win in a row!
Results are the key to the explanation. If you can’t achieve the Celtics’ grades, then the best way is to shut up. Just like the Detroit media today, they are unsure and will not speak.
Rivers is now trying to make the Detroit media never open their mouths, and the Pistons are destined to be the goal of the Celtics conquering the East. You can't expect to rely on the schedule to help every time.
If we really want to fight together in the playoffs, it is better to let this collision come earlier, and we can win better. If we can't win, we also know where the gap between the two sides is. Of course, Rivers does not intend to lose.
Although this is playing at the Pistons' home court, Rivers also hopes that they can continue their tough performance last season, so that fans here will always remember that those animals from Boston can't be provoked casually.
The main thing is to let those who just haile the sign at the airport to harass them when they are fine. It is really meaningless to compete with a group of madmen, because if you can't beat them down, you will be stepped on by these people.
Rivers didn't plan to clean up the protesting fans one by one, but he didn't mind beating the Pistons, so this fat guy also lined up the rare starting lineup of all the main players in the near future.
Chen Feng, Garnett, Ray Allen, Pierce, Rondo, especially the inside. Chen Feng and Garnett have not started together recently, and these two guys have been in turns most of the time.
This is also Rivers' tactical arrangement. He needs the idiot team to always put pressure on the opponent in more than 40 minutes of game, so Garnett and Chen Feng did not cut out the two inside blades together.
Two swords are fatal, but one sword is endlessly swung at you. I am afraid that any opponent will feel terrifying. After all, Garnett's lethality is obvious to all. As for the animal Chen Feng, uh, how little he has committed?
Although the Pistons' tactics are still based on the success rate after steady defense, this season, although they are currently in the boss position in the East, they averaged about 95 points per game, and they lost points well.
This is the habit of the Pistons. Although Sanders focuses on giving Starkey and the others this season, he still has to focus on defense at critical moments. This is the lifeblood of the Pistons and no one dares to lose it.
Since Chuck Daley's time, the Pistons' foundation has been tight defense, and now it is the same.
So Rivers didn't plan to compete with his opponent for any defensive skills. He wanted to defeat his opponent in the playoffs last season, and the same is true now. He is on this lineup to completely use offense to sink his opponent!
Aren't you guarding? Well, you guys continue, but this season, not only has my defense intensity increased, but my offense has also become sharper! Since Detroit has set up an iron barrel formation, let's see if I can poke you out!
The head coaches of both sides are not giving in, but the players of both sides still have some interactions. After all, they have been in the league for so long, without friendship, and have a little chance of meeting each other.
For example, old opponents like Garnett and Rashid have been fighting hard in the West for several years. Now in the Eastern Conference, it seems that the two of them still have to fight hard, after all, this is a temporary highlight.
But the brief greetings could not dilute the atmosphere of the game between the two sides against Maimang. The fans on the sidelines had already started to clamor. The supporters of the Pistons were eager to see their team end their opponent's winning streak at home!
This is not envy, jealousy, but even the fans have already felt the pressure brought by the Celtics to this pursuer. They really want to knock out this damn feeling! It is best to kick the opponent into hell!
"Boy, I wish you good luck. I don't want to be a loser in this game." Rashid, the rare old guy who spoke, said a few more words to Chen Feng, before the start of the game.
It can be seen that this old guy has a knot in his confrontation last season, and he won, but the confrontation between him and Chen Feng was obviously the boy who had the advantage, which made Rashid a little bit resentful.
"You said this, I wish me good luck. Since good luck is on my side, it should be difficult to lose."
Chen Feng shrugged his shoulders, and he stood opposite Rashid, looking at the bearded old guy, the two people who were ready to jump the ball, closed their mouths consciously, but as Chen Feng said, since good luck is on my side, I'm sorry, this is not a place to respect the elderly and love the young, lose the game? Impossible!
You cannot express your ruthlessness by words, but he can prove it with his hands. Even if you are facing Rashid, if you want to reach the top, these opponents will inevitably be stepped under your feet and act as a ladder.
Since he could defeat his opponent last season, why didn't he continue this season? Chen Feng could not have any reason to lose to Rashid, even if it was at the Pistons' home court, he came just to take away the victory.
Oh, and also to kick Detroit off the throne in the East and let the opponent become a character chasing him.
Those who are used to being bosses will one day understand that they will fall, and later generations will take over this position.
This is like the African savanna. When a lion begins to grow old, there will always be latecomers who covet the status of the king, defeat him, or expel him, and then start a new legend.
That was the era of the new king. Now that Chen Feng faced Rashid, what he longed to defeat this former big star and let the team and himself usher in a new era of his own. This is the battle to win the position!
The strong prey on the weak, even if you were the boss, you have to face such cruel facts...
