Chapter 71 The Lions of the Motor City

What is the most scolded job in the NBA?referee?Cheerleaders?mascot?Or ground maintenance?

None of the above, because these professions do not attract the curse of all nba team coaches.

Even Stein might not be scolded by everyone, but among the so-called professionals who write the nba schedule, there is no nba head coach who doesn't scold him, and everyone scolds him very hard.

You can't say that the head coaches of the NBA have no self-cultivation. In fact, even a guy who believes in Buddha like Zen Master has complained about how terrible the NBA's schedule is.

There is no way, if you encounter five or six consecutive away games, you will also jump and curse.

In the regular season of the nba, with a total of 1230 games, it is really rare for these guys to make up such a wonderful thing. Often, teams suddenly find that they have to play back to back.

As for the encounters such as consecutive away games, they are all floating clouds, and basically any team has encountered them.

So, don't expect those head coaches to say anything nice for the scheduling experts.

"A group of professionals who claim to have graduated from Harvard University can make such a mess of the schedule. I really don't know if these guys are all from classical literature majors, rather than professional statistical talents!"

But this situation has been going on for many years, almost every time the schedule comes out, there will be people scolding.

The only difference is that the number of scolders will be changed every year. At this time, the schedule organizers are completely using the socialist average system. The unlucky people are definitely not just one family.

"What a fucking schedule! After playing one home game, they have to play three consecutive away games!"

It's no wonder that such a good temper as Rivers will get angry, and playing away games is the worst experience.

Originally, some of the Celtics players suffered from minor injuries and illnesses. In such continuous away games, not to mention the lack of rest, let alone recovery, it would be good if it didn't get worse.

Pierce's old injury broke out in New Jersey, and he had already stopped for one game. However, due to the rush of travel, the next away game had to be suspended. In order not to repeat what happened last season, Rivers could only endure it.

Ratliff remains in Boston recuperating, and Ogwakandi's health isn't much better.

West's finger is fine, but he has to be careful, otherwise Rivers will probably go crazy immediately if the staff is reduced before a team comes. He can't stand the truce with so many patients.

The Celtics are not the Knicks, and they can't afford so many illnesses. Rivers doesn't want to be pulled away by his opponent because of injuries in the early stage. What he wants is the top spot in the division.

Moreover, playing so many away games at the beginning of the season will also have an impact on the team's performance. If one is not careful, morale may fall to the bottom. If that is the case, it cannot be easily recovered.

Originally, one-third of the Celtics players lack experience. If there is no problem with confidence, Rivers doesn't think he can turn the tide like Auerbach.

Fortunately, the Celtics played well in the first two games of this season. Although the start was a bit weak, they all won big against their opponents in the end. The loss was only in the last minute.

But now Rivers looks at the fourth opponent he will face, and it is really not ordinary melancholy.

The Detroit Pistons, although they are no longer the bad boy team built by Chuck Daly.

But in the past few years, many people have experienced the strength of the Pistons. One championship and two finals, even the super luxurious "f4" set of the Lakers at the beginning was also won by the Pistons.

Although the overall strength of the Pistons has weakened to a certain extent after the departure of "Big Ben", everyone knows the strength of those guys. It is only a weakening and cannot shake their foundation.

With Billups, Hamilton, Rasheed Wallace, Prince and McDyess, the Pistons are still the most favorable contenders for the eastern throne, and their strength is not ordinary.

"This damn schedule, meeting them at this time, are we going to usher in a two-game losing streak?"

Although Rivers doesn't want to be so discouraged, but look at his lineup, and then look at the opponent's. This time the game in Detroit, the Celtics will definitely not be easy.

"Can this lineup win against such a strong opponent?" Rivers was also beating drums in his heart.

But he seems to have forgotten that in his team, there are a few guys whose nerves are so thick that it makes people speechless, such as the bald boy who never knows what it feels like to be afraid.

This was Chen Feng's first visit to Detroit. His only memory of this city was probably the famous violent conflict that happened at the Palace of Auburn Hills Stadium on TV.

"By the way, the fans and players here are so vigorous." Recalling the hot scene at that time, even now, Chen Feng can feel a little adrenaline rush.

Of course, in the eyes of people like Thibodeau and Rondo, his excitement is quite speechless.

"This guy may be full of militant cells in his bones." Rondo could only comment on Chen Feng in this way.

However, what Chen Feng said was correct, Detroit, a city with a serious degree of industrialization, had fans who were not as vigorous as usual, but here were all blue-collar workers with rough personalities.

Fans like New York may greet you with loud boos, but most of the time such actions are already at their limit, otherwise when Chen Feng raised his finger, someone would have rushed over.

How can I say that most of the fans in New York are educated and somewhat self-cultivated, especially those celebrities sitting on the sidelines, except of course, except for the weird ones like Spark Lee.

You know, right after that game, this big director was still grinding his mouth on his blog endlessly. He vowed to teach Chen Feng a lesson the next time he meets the Celtics!

However, Chen Feng didn't care about that uncle. According to his own words, with that uncle's small physique, he could really take care of him with a little effort. If necessary, he didn't mind bullying the weak.

But after arriving in Detroit, Thibodeau has already privately warned Chen Feng not to continue to behave like that in New York, otherwise what greeted him would definitely not be boos that sounded a bit noisy, but probably overwhelming drink bottles, or...or It's a bunch of repair tools flying over.

"This is not a joke. Thinking about the conflict that happened here last time, I can only say that the fans here are not the kind of people with a peaceful personality. The temper of blue-collar workers will always have a very violent side."

Facts have proved that what Thibodeau said was not exaggerated at all, and he also said a little less.

"I'm going! Is it so cruel? It has been at least a quarter of an hour since we entered this arena. Why are these guys still spraying so fiercely? Dude, don't these grandchildren know how tired they are?"

I have already played two away games, but whether it is Madison or the Aviation Center Arena, although the fans are not very friendly, compared with Auburn Hills, the atmosphere of those two arenas is simply heaven.

When the Pistons played, there was a roar like a tsunami, but when the visiting team appeared, you could only be greeted with abuse. This is not a joke, it is really overwhelming.

This shit, Chen Feng felt that since he stepped into this Auburn Hills, he could only hear the slobbering attack of tens of thousands of people attacking the Celtics. It has been a quarter of an hour now, but this ferocious saliva The attack still has no weakening trend. You have to say that the workers' brothers are powerful.

And when more than 1 blue-collar workers gathered together, the momentum was really overwhelming.

Thibodeau was a little worried about whether rookies like Rondo and Chen Feng were a little uncomfortable facing such a crazy atmosphere. Even he was a little irritable when facing such a crazy home court.

But after only a few seconds, Thibodeau realized that he was really redundant, because the wild boy didn't use his energy to experience the atmosphere of the away game at all, and what he aimed at was called weird.

"Detroit is indeed a famous Motor City..." Rondo and Pierce really didn't know why Chen Feng felt such emotion in such a hostile atmosphere.

"Nimma, look at those girls in the cheerleaders, are they cheating, the whole **** is a factory girl!"

"I understand why these old men who watch the game are so violent, guarding such a group of miserable girls every day, I guess if it were you, you would have to run here to release the excess energy!"

Chen Feng's understanding expression on Long live's face at this moment really made Xibodu's teeth itch with hatred.

"I'm so ashamed, I will never worry about whether this kid will be nervous in the future! This guy doesn't have that nerve at all!", Thibodeau almost slapped himself, this is really nosy!

Although Chen Feng's words made people around roll their eyes, but also because of his words, most of the oppressive feeling when they first entered Auburn Hills disappeared, and the irritability was also much less.

But Rivers' frown didn't stretch out, because he saw the Pistons head coach Saunders calling the team's giants together for a lecture.

If the NBA teams are beasts, then the beasts in Detroit must be a group of lions.

They are a group of hunting masters who can act collectively. They can tear those unlucky prey fiercely, but what makes Rivers very upset this time is that the Celtics seem to have become prey.

Whether he can escape from the mouths of these powerful lions in Detroit, Rivers is not fully sure this time.

After all, this is a group of fierce guys who have been baptized in the finals. Compared with their sophistication, the Celtics are simply immature and pitiful.

Whether he can pass this level, Rivers has no idea...
