Forward to the basket

No one else may know how Sanders feels now, but Rasheed Wallace is definitely in the same mood as him. Ever since he saw the kid in front of him grinning at him, he knew that something was going to happen.

Rasheed Wallace himself didn't know that this was the first time he ran into Chen Feng on the field, but the only thing he didn't forget was that every time he ran into this bald boy, nothing good would happen to him.

Counting from the first meeting last season, if they want to collide with Chen Feng, it must be a desperate collision and non-stop small movements. That kid is as tough as an insider in the 90s!

It can be called "Roaring Tianzun". In addition to more technical foul applications, Rasheed Wallace is also an inside hardliner who is well-known throughout the league.

At the beginning, they were able to block O'Neal's raging inside with "Big Ben" and directly kill the F4 combination of the Lakers. This was also thanks to Rasheed Wallace showing his tough style inside and outside. [

Even Malone couldn't handle his singles. It is conceivable how fierce Rasheed Wallace is.

But ever since I met Chen Feng, this thing seems to have changed, you are tough, I will go, that kid is even tougher than you, if you want to take advantage of experience, that kid may be more insidious than you.

This is simply terrible, mainly because you don't know what to do with such a bastard. Rasheed Wallace really wants to put on his "roaring God" posture, but he won't eat it set!

This made Rasheed Wallace even more depressed. As a result, it has left a big shadow on him now, and after he appeared on the stage, he still looked at Chen Feng and bared his teeth. smile.

That inexplicable smile is even scarier than running into a lone wolf while walking in the middle of the night. Those white teeth, no matter how you look at them, have a cold smell inside, which makes you feel a deep sense of vigilance.

Or it is said that the older the animal, the more it can feel the presence of danger, and the same is true for people, the older they are, the more sensitive they are.

And often it is this keen sense that allows him to know what he is facing. Rasheed Wallace is not an old man, but he has also been in this league for many years, and his sense of smell is always sensitive enough. .

While Sanders over there was still thinking about Rivers' intentions to change formation, the five guys on the Pistons field here already felt that the atmosphere on the Celtics side was not right, especially Rasheed Wallace Doctors and Billups.

This time Rasheed Wallace didn't run to the middle to jump the ball, but replaced McDyess, but even they themselves knew very well that no one in the Pistons planned to cause any trouble for Chen Feng in this link.

That kid is so good at jumping, the old guys of the Pistons are not his opponent at all, who can fight this with him without any problems!

Therefore, no one is willing to touch that nail. The jump ball is basically abandoned. In fact, it is not only the Pistons, except for the "Warcraft" of the Magic who has the heart to compete with that kid. , the rest of the teams almost avoided such humiliation and stopped competing with that lunatic.

McDyess also knows what his mission is, at most it is to harass, and then prevent the opponent from launching a fast break during the jump ball, that's all.

But this time McDyess' harassment didn't delay Chen Feng's absolute advantage, the kid still passed the racket to Pierce smoothly, but the Celtics' lightning offensive didn't start immediately.

With the ball in hand, Pierce moved forward unhurriedly. Even if Prince harassed him, he still firmly controlled the ball. While stabilizing the rhythm, he kept calling for the opponent to move.

After pressing down near the three-point line, Pierce passed the basketball to Cassell under the cover of Garnett, and the old guy ran into Billups face to face.

Don't rush, don't get impatient, control the ball steadily, use your body as a cover, put Billups on the outside, and don't let him have the opportunity to steal the ball or harass him. An old guy like Cassell can't play fast break, but Can afford time.

Billups is definitely considered strong among guards, so when he is in a stalemate with ordinary point guards, he can always put a lot of pressure on the opponent. At the beginning, Rondo was contained because of the gap in confrontation.

Rivers also saw this, so in this kind of positional battle, Rondo was not allowed to start, but chose to use Cassel to deal with Billups and fight physically. It is precisely that old guy who is not afraid of.

Don't look at Billups' physique is 8 kg heavier than Cassell, but he is also 1.9 meters tall. He is not sure about the "alien" who is more experienced than himself . [

Steady, but it doesn't mean that the Celtics' offense is so stagnant. Even if Cassel's speed is not as fast as before, his sophisticated passing can still keep the entire team running quickly.

Cassell held the ball in his hands and didn't rush to cut in. He just hovered near the three-point line, looking for offensive opportunities.

The old guy overcame the harassment from Billups, and Cassel took advantage of Pierce's pulling at the side, spotted a gap, and directly hit the ground to pass the ball to Garnett who had already cut to the three-second zone. .

Passing, running, all of these fit together just right, Billups didn't have time to interfere, and McDyess inside didn't have time to prevent Garnett from comfortably holding the ball in the dangerous area.

Shoulder-to-shoulder impact, Garnett made a crushing cut against McDyess, who was obviously thinner than himself. Before the opponent's hands had time to block the angle, "Wolf King" had already shot.

McDyess really wanted to block Garnett's offense, but there was a bit of a gap in height, and Garnett had an advantage in physical confrontation when he cut in. This kind of shot cannot be blocked.

Rasheed Wallace over there wanted to help, but he was firmly stuck behind Chen Feng, unable to move at all.

Holding the ball, cutting in, pressing down on the opponent's light board, the Celtics' first offense was not as swift as a storm. Garnett chose to cut in and shoot after No. 20 seconds.

But this kind of offense really makes the Pistons feel a little different. In the playoffs of last season and the regular season of this season, they have faced the Celtics head-on, but the Celtics at that time were all about speed. !

At that time, the Celtics relied on impact to take advantage. Rondo delivered accurate passes in the backcourt, Pierce and Ray Allen were in position on the perimeter in front, and Garnett and Chen Feng were on the inside.

The offensive routine of one man holding the ball and shooting at four points is the main method for the Celtics to sweep the league in the regular season. Many people say that this kind of offense relies on the personal ability of the players, which is easy to understand.

Indeed, even Rivers himself said that when this starting lineup shows up in the regular season, it must be the ability of several players to link together with Rondo, and then launch an attack, playing fiercely!

Use the offense to overwhelm the opponent, then use everyone's offensive threat to cause trouble for the opponent's defense.

This tide-like offensive posture will definitely put a lot of defensive pressure on the opponent, but this is only in the regular season. Rivers is very clear about the difference between the regular season and the playoffs.

The offensive means that can destroy the opponent in the regular season may not be useful in the playoffs, where the needle-pointed game is like a straw. Both sides will pay attention to defense, especially at the stage of the Eastern Conference Finals.

We all know that defense is emphasized in the playoffs. In this kind of confrontational situation, what efficiency can your windy offense achieve?Rivers is not good at such crazy gambling.

He is not an outlaw like old Nelson, no matter what kind of game he will insist on attacking!

Therefore, the Celtics have been adjusting their tactical arrangements since they killed the Eagles. This kind of tempering has already begun in the second half of the regular season, but Rivers has not used it specifically.

But until now, when we meet the Pistons, there is nothing to hide. The fight is all about efficiency. At this time, there is no need to pursue any beautiful scenes. What Rivers wants is that the team can control the situation.

It is better to slow down the speed than to defeat the opponent in the positional battle. It is not necessary to rush to attack, but in choosing the timing of the attack, make fewer mistakes and let the opponent seize the opportunity to play a fast attack counterattack.

What Rivers wanted was Garnett's offense just now. He didn't pursue speed, but he had to make good use of the moment the opportunity came up. He wasn't afraid that the pace of the game would be a bit slow, but he had to maintain high efficiency.

Pursue physical confrontation, pay attention to the interspersed running of the whole team, use mutual cover, launch an attack at the most certain time, and let the opponent's physical energy be consumed as much as possible in this high-level physical confrontation. [

Rivers is not afraid of a war of attrition. He has too many personnel reserves to do this kind of thing. Now, he has pointed the tip of the bayonet at Sanders, approaching inch by inch, giving the opponent a strong oppression feel.

The offense can be so detailed, and the defense must also be so tight. The Celtics will not leave too many opportunities for the opponent to take advantage of in the positional battle, and always put pressure on the opponent in the physical confrontation.

The cadres of the Pistons are no longer young. How long they can last under such high confrontation may be a question for Sanders to consider. Rivers is just accelerating the emergence of this situation.

"When they played against the Magic, their overall physical condition was showing a downward trend. So, how long can they last now? I think this kind of close-to-hand combat will definitely make those old guys miserable."

Rivers whispered to Thibodeau on the sidelines, and at this moment, the score on the court had reached 12:8.

The lead of the Celtics does not seem to be obvious, and the opponent's offense may even be faster, but Rivers' eyes look sharper.

What he wants is not a momentary gain or loss, but the final victory. This kind of confrontation, like a quagmire, is hanging over the Pistons.

(Sergeante is leaving too. Alas, it’s a bit sad. Time is passing. We fans who used to be able to watch the ball and chat with each other, how much passion do we have left? Cherish every day, because we are getting old ...)
