Chapter 472 Sanders' melancholy (3)
Updated: 2013-05-10
In the home game, nearly 20,000 crazy supporters were on the sidelines to support them. Such a Celtics is extremely terrifying, especially when they are in a well-equipped and physically in good condition, these guys will perform very fiercely, not to mention that these beasts have been waiting for almost a week.
This is the same as the beasts that are about to exit the gate. They have been hungry for too long, so they will be very cruel.
A group of unfilled animals is definitely the most dangerous. These Celtic guys are in this state now.
Even Sanders could feel how difficult it is to deal with those animals wearing green uniforms.
Sanders had known the difficulty of conquering North Shore Garden Arena, but it was already in the Eastern Conference Finals, and no one was willing to surrender. Even if he knew that this bone was very difficult to chew, the Pistons had to open his mouth and bite it fiercely, trying to tear off a piece of meat with his sharp teeth.
Even if there is a danger of breaking the front teeth, these guys have to bite their hands to death. At least they have to play a fierce enough posture at the Celtics' home court so that these Bostonians can clearly know that they don't want to deal with the Pistons so easily. Detroit is the former champion, and the courage of that city will never disappear!
After all, the Pistons have not been long since they won the championship in 2004. Their championship background is still there, and they have two championship experiences in the early 1990s, which is better than the Celtics.
Well, I have been doing better in the past twenty years. If I really compete for historical heritage, most people can't beat Boston.
So, even if the shouts in the North Shore Garden Arena were already shaking, the Pistons guys could maintain enough calm, at least they could not see any emotional fluctuations on the surface.
This may be the mentality that a team that has been through the battlefield should have, rather than the impetuousness of the Cleveland people. When the little emperor and his Cavaliers deal with such a scene, they always feel that those guys have less confidence and more unknown anxiety. This is the gap, and Cleveland can't make up for it in the short term.
The main reason is that teams that have never won the championship always make people feel that they have less inertia to win.
Sanders has mobilized the most advantageous resources as much as possible, but he has fought with the Magic for six games before, which has had some impact on the Pistons. After all, most of the old guys in this team are there.
At this moment, except for the five major players that can be used in Sanders, there are not many players on the bench who can be used. The old guy Lindsey Hunter is the first choice for rotation, which makes Sanders very helpless.
But even if you are envious, jealous and hateful at this time, it is useless. After all, the depth of the Celtics' bench lineup is so cruel. It was the result of Anji's two years of planning and running around for a summer. It was finally easy to deal with so many practical old guys. This is not something you can envy.
Boston has been trying so hard in the past season, isn’t it just this moment? They just want to pile up the main lineup and bench bandits, and then launch an extremely fierce attack on their competitors. Now it’s just that they are already well-established and show you all these trump cards.
This is a strategic deterrent effect. It will let you see that you have such a deep bench lineup and such a strong and fierce main lineup, so that your opponents dare not easily rotate personnel.
Once the Celtics seize the opportunity, the score may be pulled away in just a few minutes.
In the first two rounds of games against the Hawks and the Cavaliers, except for the opponent who was overwhelmed by the lineup, the most important thing is that after the rotation started, the Celtics' bench lineup has quite strong offensive ability.
The Hawks' defeat was mostly attributed to Weber and Cassel's efficient offense after they came on the court.
Although these old guys are just waiting for opportunities on the bench, their experience and stability can create efficient killing, which often allows the opponent to kill a fierce attack before he recovers!
The Clevelanders had also wailed like this, saying that they were killed by the Celtics' substitute lineup, otherwise the Little Emperor would not have leaked rumors after the game and required the team to add available bench players.
No matter what conditions can be exchanged, it must be effective. The little emperor has been fed up with the hardship of fighting alone.
Although this is not explicitly stated, everyone knows that you must not fight a war of attrition with the Celtics, because you really can't guarantee to kill the opponent. Maybe the opponent hasn't done anything yet, and you'll have already died first.
Of course, Sanders knew how thick the opponent's bench lineup was, but the situation in Detroit was like this, and he couldn't change it. He could defeat the Magic team's entanglement by using the main lineup to fight to the death.
Now that he meets the Celtics, it's still away. Sanders has already estimated the difficulty of these two games, but the lineup he can still rely on the inherent five tiger players.
Billups, Hamilton, Rashid Wallace, Prince and McDyce, this is the strongest lineup that Sanders can do now. Whether he can withstand Boston's crushing depends on the performance of these five tiger generals. At least in this level of competition, the Pistons also have the ability to fight with Boston.
"Control the rhythm and don't play with the opponent's offensive frequency. This is their home court. After the game, these guys will definitely attack fiercely. Therefore, the first few minutes are the key. They cannot be suppressed. They must protect the backcourt rebounds on defense, don't give them a chance to attack twice, and don't easily disrupt the defensive position by their interlude and running. You have all watched the opponent's previous game video. You should know how to do it, maintain our advantage, slow down their offensive pace, and slow down everything!"
"In defense, we must use fierce physical confrontation to force them to make mistakes, and then use these mistakes to fight fast attacks. They will definitely attack tactics at the beginning and want to use speed to disrupt our position. But this stage is when they make the most mistakes, so we must defend well and make good use of these mistakes!"
Before the players finally made their debut, Sanders kept reminding them that such a game is often the most deadly at the start, especially at home in Boston. Don’t be beaten to death by a wave of offense like the Cavaliers! If you don’t want to accept a tragic defeat, then you have to fight to the death from the opening stage!
This is the corresponding tactics that Sanders adopted after watching the Celtics game video for a few days, but after the Pistons' guys appeared, Sanders widened his eyes on the sidelines. It was not because he saw how popular the Celtics' appearance was, but because he found that what he said just now was nonsense!
What! What is that guy Rivers doing!? Why did he choose Kassel in the point guard? Why didn't that guy let Ray Allen on the roster? Instead, he put Percy, the defensive hero on the roster! Change the formation!? God, is that guy a lunatic?? He dares to change the formation at this time!
Sanders really felt that his mind was confused at this moment. He really didn't understand what Rivers was thinking. Isn't such a game worthy of this guy's usual lineup?
Didn’t it mean that stability overwhelms everything? Is this his just Rivers’ stability!? He just wants to do this?
Rondo sat on the bench, and so was Ray Allen! The five people in this main lineup changed two at once! Crazy, that guy Rivers was absolutely crazy! He replaced two fixed main players in such a game. Does this guy think that such a lineup can win!? Sanders was already a little confused!
If possible, Sanders really wants to get into Rivers' mind now. What is this crazy guy trying to do? Is it because of conflict? I haven't heard of any internal strife in the Celtics recently! Why is this? All kinds of weird thoughts began to fill Sanders' head.
The lineup that Rivers lined up has now collapsed Sanders. He really didn't understand what the opponent wanted to do, why there was a core organization and an offensive expert!
Is this your sister showing off nakedly? Or can such a strange lineup disrupt the Pistons' team? But, if there wasn't a broadcast camera pointing at Sanders at this time, this guy really wanted to grab the hair that wasn't too much. Damn, this really makes people unable to understand what he is going to do!
Crazy, completely crazy, Sanders found that his arrangement seemed to be completely useless, because the Celtics lineup was not continuing the attack style that the Celtics had previously used.
These lunatics are more like fighting against the Pistons who are not allowed to fight. Percy and Kassel are not speed players, but their focus is on strengthening defense!
Strengthen defense? What are you doing! The first thing that guy Rivers considers in home games is defense!
That guy didn't plan to fight in the opening stage like he did when he killed the Hawks and the Cavaliers, but wanted to fight a war of attrition with the Pistons!
Rivers doesn't know what Sanders is thinking now, but after he and Thibodeau knew who the opponent in the Eastern Conference Finals, they had already finalized the tactical arrangements. And the team has been making such preparations over the past week. Otherwise, why did the Celtics have to conduct a closed training, that was not for fun.
What is the foundation of the Pistons' survival? Rivers already understood after learning the lessons from last season.
The opponent's defensive formation and strength are the advantages that the Detroits have been in the playoffs for so long.
Moreover, facing the Celtics' fierce offensive posture in the first two rounds of the playoffs, the Pistons would definitely not be idiot to give the Celtics this opportunity. Those guys have experience, so they will try their best to defend as much as possible. Especially after watching the sixth game of the Pistons and Magic, Rivers was even more sure of this situation. The Pistons were waiting for their opponents to attack and then use their experience to deal with the opponent to the end.
The Detroits are not as strong as they were a few years ago, but they have experience and know how to kill their opponents. They want to use the Celtics' tide attack to make a fuss.
These guys want to cause trouble for the Celtics just like the way they catch the Magic's loopholes.
Rivers would not let such a situation happen at the North Shore Garden Arena. Since the opponent wants to play defense, let’s play with them! See who is more fierce and tough!
