Forward to the basket

Many people know that the collision between the Celtics and the Pistons will not be that simple. The two teams with extremely tough styles will fight in the Eastern Conference semifinals. In any case, it will not be a calm situation.

Moreover, the two teams swept their opponents in the first round, and then rested for a long time. Now there is no problem in terms of physical fitness.

More people will still think that this is a confrontation of whoever makes fewer mistakes, and the Pistons have an advantage in this, and they will not be easily overthrown by a rookie like the Celtics.

If you really compare the experience of the playoffs, the Pistons must have blown the Celtics, there is no suspense.

Murphy also made a bet with Xie Miaomiao before the game that the game might be dull and the score would not be very high. This is completely in line with the performance of the Pistons in the playoffs in recent years. kill you.

"They conceded less than 92 points per game during the regular season, ranking first in the Eastern Conference. Only the Spurs' defense can compare with them. If you want to score more than [-] points against this group of guys, it will be a difficulty."

"And once they enter the playoffs, their defensive strength will be upgraded to a higher level. You can see what happened to the Magic. These guys are fully capable of strangling any team's offense."

Although Murphy doesn't want to advocate for his opponents, but the statistics are there. The defensive efficiency of the regular season ranks second in the league. In the first four games of the playoffs, the average conceded points per game is less than 90 points. , Whoever runs into the Pistons will have a headache, even if it is the Spurs, they probably don't want to run into the Pistons.

Now that the Celtics are inevitable, Murphy dare not make a judgment on whether he can bite off a piece of meat from this group of Detroiters if he bites the bullet and pushes forward.

But at least he dared to say that this game is not good to watch, so the NBA officials really hate to see the Pistons vs. Spurs play out again in the Finals, but the strength of these two teams is a fact.

"This is the intensity of the playoffs. Just look at them and you will know why there is such a saying that they rely on defense to win the championship. The Celtics are definitely not good at away games."

Murphy's view is more intuitive. Although he is a fan of the Celtics, he still has a very clear understanding of the current strength of the Pistons. Those Detroiters are indeed very strong.

But Xie Miaomiao was sitting on the sidelines. What she was observing was not how strong the Pistons were, nor how the Celtics were playing. Here, she was just watching Chen Feng's performance. The purpose was quite simple.

This is entirely a personal subjective opinion. In some respects, Xie Miaomiao is more like a fan than a reporter who should be neutral, but she has never felt much about this kind of thing.

It seems more like an accident to discover such a vigorous guy as Chen Feng unintentionally, but Xie Miaomiao has unconditional support for Chen Feng.

Because a little guy who has no one to take care of him and can survive alone in the United States with his own hands will not be easily defeated by anyone, not anyone. Xie Miaomiao has no doubts about this.

Moreover, he was able to reach the Eastern Conference semifinals in his rookie season. No matter who he told about this result, it would be quite a face-saving matter. Besides, this kid was one of the key factors for the Celtics to sweep the Raptors.

The Rockets have already been eliminated, and now more Chinese reporters are gathered in the East, just to watch Chen Feng's performance, and this kid is very competitive, not only passed the first round, but also won the best rookie of the season.

It's not for Xie Miaomiao to speculate on how much market considerations there are, but it is undeniable that compared with Rondo, Roy, or other competitors, Chen Feng has a very obvious advantage.

He averaged 15.2 points, 8.1 rebounds and 2 blocks per game. No matter who you show this statistic to, it is definitely an inside pillar with full potential. Even Jefferson is far inferior to Chen Feng in terms of rebounds and blocks.

Don't forget, that kid was also suspended by the league because of his pk with O'Neal. Otherwise, this statistic might be even more dazzling. At least in terms of scoring and rebounding, his upward trend is very obvious.

Even many picky commentators pointed out in their columns that the best rookie of the season may be the least controversial. Although Roy and Rondo performed well, compared with Chen Feng, they are obviously at a disadvantage.

"A good insider will take both scoring and defense into account, and Chen Feng's election has clearly shown that he has such an ability, and his data in terms of blocked shots has even ranked fourth in the statistical list."

Sending out more than 30 blocks in a season, entering the top five of this kind of list as a rookie, I am afraid that many people would not have thought of it, and his blocks are not Camby's at the cost of more points. .

Everyone knows why the Celtics have risen fiercely this season. The offensive and defensive efficiency of the interior has increased.

"Inside players may be the position with the slowest growth rate, but with Chen Feng's appearance, we can look forward to the summer draft. Maybe there will be more surprises there, but no matter what, congratulations to him."

No matter how many fair evaluations these reports have, at least the best rookie has already fallen into Chen Feng's pocket. No one can take it away, and no one can erase this guy's contribution throughout the season.

Even if this kid often gives people a headache, but grades are grades, no one will deny Chen Feng's excellence.

Xie Miaomiao is of course happy to see this situation continue to ferment, just like she said after Chen Feng won the best rookie, "This is just the beginning, anyway, you can always bring more surprises to others."

After a season of follow-up reports, the relationship between Xie Miaomiao and Chen Feng can be regarded as a pure revolutionary friendship, so she can say that she has a thorough understanding of that kid's temperament.

Rookie of the Year?rookie game mvp?These are not important, as the kid himself said, these are all obtained by chance, the championship, only the trophy, is what he desires most.

"Do it, you have to get the best one, the rest are just to add some color, it's not necessary, kill all opponents, win the championship, this is the goal, and like you said, This is just the beginning, there is really nothing to show off, because what I want is obviously more than this, I am very greedy."

Thinking about what that kid Chen Feng said after holding the best rookie trophy, Xie Miaomiao could feel that this kid would never bow down to Chen Chen easily and admit defeat here again?Have you really seen that kid bow his head and confess?

"The little hunk I'm optimistic about won't be crushed so easily, neither will the Pistons!" Although Xie Miaomiao didn't tell Murphy that much, she still clenched her fists and cheered for Chen Feng. Go hard.

Whether Chen Feng heard Xie Miaomiao's cheering or not is aside, but this match really surprised people.

Now, Xie Miaomiao really doesn't mind looking at the expression of the colleague next to her, because the game started less than 6 minutes ago, and the score on the field was already 20:17, and the Celtics temporarily led the opponent by 3 points .

But one thing that people can't ignore is that the offensive rhythm of both sides is far from the slow and procrastinated one predicted before the game. Although it is also a hand-to-hand fight, it is also a bayonet-like fight, but the scoring efficiency is very high.

Especially in the 1 minute after the opening, the Celtics attacked the Pistons 3 times in a row. Not only did they fail to allow the opponent to score, but they also made two steals in a row, and instantly beat the opponent to a 6:0 opening climax. .

It is estimated that Sanders was a little stunned at the time. This guy had been talking non-stop before the start, and he must keep the team stable and not be disrupted by the opponent's charge.

This is really what you are afraid of. When you want to stabilize, you often lose your rhythm, and the impact of the Celtics really smashed the Pistons' defense to pieces.

Chen Feng's first alley-oop was scary enough, but this guy then made an even more exaggerated attempt to pull the basket with both hands across Rondo, and by the way, even pushed Billups out of the baseline.

And it's still over. When the Pistons made steady progress, Rasheed Wallace, who had just pulled near the three-point line and prepared to play a pick-and-roll for Billups, was accidentally attacked by Chen Feng. Bundle.

Originally, Rondo was already stuck behind Wallace, and Billups also dexterously passed the ball to him sideways. If this guy could receive the basketball smoothly, he must have been a counter-cut from a high position.

But as soon as Billups sent the pass, Wallace stretched out a big hand in a very ghostly way, and stabbed the basketball out, and then the Celtics The team's quick counterattack.

When Rondo went to the basket to pick the basket and scored, Billups, who was chasing behind him, hadn't even rushed into the three-point line. It can be imagined how much the Pistons were messed up by the steal in this cross stab. Embarrassed.

Wallace was very familiar with that big hand, but at this moment, he also seemed a little helpless. This time, the steal came too suddenly, and the kid who stole the ball really worked too hard.

The whole person flew out almost in parallel, and then poked the basketball away with his fingertips, without giving Wallace any chance to make amends. It was such a sudden and ruthless character that caused the Pistons to make a mistake.

The Pistons haven't been in such a mess for a long time, but this time, the Celtics' offense did indeed give them a strong suppression in the opening stage, which was a fierce attack that was impenetrable.

Without any avoidance, it was like two locomotives seeing each other head-on, but neither of them planned to avoid the collision. They just collided so fiercely. The side that started first showed a very powerful lethality.

Even the more than 1 tough Pistons fans on the scene, at this time, there were not many roars left, and most of them looked a little worried as they watched the score be refreshed again.

Perhaps the first-round sweep of the Magic played a bit too smoothly. The Pistons, which controlled the rhythm from beginning to end, have not encountered such a strong challenge for a long time, so the fans seemed a little uncomfortable.

Anyway, this is the territory of the boss in the East, how dare those Boston bumpkins behave wildly here?But that's what those guys did, and the three axes that came up were indeed very beautiful!

Even the tnt broadcast seat, which was ready to yawn on the sidelines, applauded the Pistons game very rarely. Kenny Smith even said jokingly, "This is the first time I feel that Detroit's playoffs It can be so quiet, even I wonder if this is an Eastern Conference semifinal."

That guy Barkley has always had no scruples. Even on the territory of the Pistons, he dared to open his mouth and babble endlessly. What's more, the minute just now really made him feel very happy.

"I bet that guy Rasheed must be suffocating right now, not only him, but the entire Pistons, I can feel the depression on Sanders' face. "

Barkley, who was never afraid of big things, is a guy who likes to see other people's misfortunes. He watched Rasheed and Sanders suffer in front of Chen Feng, how could he not laugh heartily.

You must know that before coming to Detroit, this guy had made a bet with Smith and Miller beside him. He bet a thousand dollars that the Celtics would definitely score a point in the away game.

This is not unreasonable confidence, but Barkley knew what the kid was thinking from the first day he knew him, especially after destroying the Raptors without bloodshed, how could that bald wild boy be willing to stop? In the Eastern Conference semifinals, as long as there is a slight chance, he will charge without scruples.

Just like the scene just now, what Billups, what finals mvp, what "roaring Tianzun", as long as it is an opponent who stands in front of him, that kid will kick away.

And after that 1-minute climax, the Celtics' offense was always following its own rhythm, and was not strangled by the Pistons. The strangle battle between the two sides was completely mixed.

The Pistons also had a rare high shooting percentage, especially mid-range and long-range shots. They were only able to chase the score by 3 points, thanks to Billups' two three-pointers and Hamilton's three mid-range shots. .

The Detroit people's pick-and-roll coordination is very precise, covering, running, shooting, everything is very skillful, both Billups and Hamilton played very proactively.

Even the three-pointer just hit, Billups deliberately circled around the three-point line, slipped out from the baseline to catch the ball, and made an accurate hit near the bottom corner. Rondo chased for a long time, but failed. interfere with.

And Hamilton's several mid-range shots were also found after frequent pick-and-rolls. The efficiency shown by the two of them is not inferior to when they beat the Lakers.

Even after Billups made two mistakes in the opening game, he has already played an aggressiveness that he didn't show in the regular season. He singled out Rondo twice, both of which were unreservedly suppressed, using his footwork and running position, very precise Harvesting points, the traits of a player with a big heart, are vividly displayed, which is completely the demeanor of an MVP.

Even the reporters on the sidelines were saying that it had been a long time since Billups took the initiative to take responsibility for scoring. It could be seen that this guy was also aroused with a fierce sense of counterattack after the opening game.

The roars that were extinguished at the Palace of Auburn Hills began to recover because of the explosion of these two guys, but in terms of score, the Pistons were still in a passive state of catching up.

It can also be seen from the experience of Barkley's old fritters that the Pistons played very awkwardly. At least this is not the kind of rhythm they are good at. Even in hand-to-hand combat at the basket, they did not take advantage of it.

Wallace met Chen Feng, who was so unscrupulous, and played very hard. Although he was not suppressed, he only scored two points and two rebounds on two shots and two rebounds. No matter how you look at the statistics, it was much worse than the first round. .

When he meets a big guy with a physique like Howard, Wallace can play with ease, but when he meets such a cunning and fierce wild boy, Barkley can imagine how depressed Wallace is now.

"Roaring Tianzun" doesn't roar anymore. In the first 6 minutes of confrontation, he got fouled once. Even though he counterattacked Chen Feng face to face, Chen Feng didn't show any kindness to him. Chasing him was just a counterattack. When the two guys collided, it was as intense as it was at the beginning of the season, but the gap was disappearing.

Wallace still had the upper hand in terms of experience, but facing a fierce guy like Chen Feng, he really felt very stressed. If "Big Ben" hadn't left, he would definitely have to do the tiring work.

But now let him face the impact of Chen Feng, it is impossible for Rasheed Wallace to be like the beginning of the season.

Not to mention Davis, with Jefferson taking care of him personally, he was originally a blue-collar with almost zero offensive ability. At this time, expecting him to stand up and score is better than expecting him to grab a few more rebounds.

The inside line was fully suppressed, which Sanders probably didn't expect before the game. He thought that Wallace and Davis could control the basket at both ends of the defense and offense.

But only now did he realize that his opponents were no longer those Orlando people. The Celtics' internal firepower was far more ferocious than he expected.

Chen Feng had 6 points, 3 rebounds, 1 block and 1 assist, and Jefferson had 4 points, 3 rebounds and 1 block. The scoring data of the two of them accounted for half of the Celtics' team. Call it amazing.

Even the guy Miller had to sigh, "Last season, the Pistons would never lose to any opponent in the interior, but now it seems that Ben Wallace's departure is definitely a loss."

"If Ben is still here, I guess the Celtics will never play so smoothly, at least in the paint area, they will encounter a lot of resistance, but now, I think, it is best to help Rasheed and Dell pray."

This is the effect Rivers wants. Everyone knows that the Pistons' defensive system is rock-solid, especially the overall offense and defense, which makes any opponent feel a headache.

That being the case, the Celtics have no other choice but to choose the strongest point of the opponent to fight!Inside, paint!Rip the gap right there!Fight an inevitable battle of encirclement and annihilation!Control the basket!

It is to stick to the opponent's inside line and attack fiercely, not afraid of making mistakes, not afraid of a decrease in hit rate, and not afraid of fouls!

Just take a good look and strike hard!No matter whether you can defeat your opponent or not, you need them to know the pain!

The ferociousness of the Celtics has already made those sturdy blue-collar fans in Detroit feel a little bit of chill. This is not a harsh winter, but it is enough to make them fearful...

(There should be more, um, it’s hard to say the specific points, I’ll do it as soon as possible?)
