Forward to the basket

A crazy quarter. When someone commented on the game between the Pistons and the Celtics, the [-] minutes in the second quarter were defined by many people in this way. It was indeed a crazy quarter of the game.

From the moment Chen Feng took over the main attack task, this kid made the entire arena his own stage.

Except for the two slam dunks in the first quarter, in the entire second quarter, Chen Feng's shots accounted for almost half of the Celtics' shots, but his offensive shooting percentage was indeed astonishing.

Seven shots, five hits, plus Rashid's two fouls, Chen Feng also got four free throw opportunities, four free throws and three hits. In the entire second quarter, Chen Feng scored [-] points crazily.

After adding the 4 points in the first quarter, Chen Feng scored [-] points in less than [-] minutes.

And not including the six rebounds he picked up, plus a beautiful block at the basket, Mohammad is once again the fateful background man, dribbling and being slapped like a dog .

Many reporters on the sidelines also captured this scene very unkindly, and the TV broadcast camera also lost no time in recording the tragic scene of Muhammad, and the playback was repeated several times in a row.

Of course, the supporters of the Pistons wanted to say that Chen Feng had fouled, but in the replay, the shot was blocked cleanly this time without even touching Mohammed's hand, just nailing the basketball to the basket abruptly.

Then Mohammed didn't let go of his hand, but he was bounced away.

When Muhammad was substituted, the guy just covered his face with a towel.

It is estimated that such a game will become a stain on the old guy's career. Even in his rookie season, he probably never encountered such a blow.

Being beaten like this by a first-year rookie, now Mohamed has absolutely no idea to achieve the results achieved by "Big Ben". He is thankful that he is not booed by the home fans.

With Chen Feng's fierce offensive firepower, it was as if he was challenging the Pistons' defense alone.

Half of his scoring was done under the nose of Rasheed Wallace. It is impossible not to be noticed in such a high-intensity confrontation with such a gorgeous performance.

But just as those people estimated before the game, the Pistons still have the advantage overall.

Although Chen Feng's crazy firepower in the second quarter did make the opponent feel a kind of pressure, but who is stronger or weaker cannot be changed by one person. After all, Chen Feng can't play [-]v[-] every round.

Just as it was impossible for Jordan to handle the Pistons' iron barrel alone, it was impossible for Chen Feng to carry the Celtics on his shoulders to wipe out the strong teams that made it to the Finals twice in a row.

When the intermission ended, the main core of the Pistons all returned to the field.

Although Rivers also threw Jefferson on the court to partner with Chen Feng, the gap is the gap. It doesn't mean that you can come back if you want to. Even Rivers understands that it is really difficult to win.

If it weren't for Chen Feng's madness in the second quarter, the game would have already entered garbage time.

Just relying on the current lineup and the opponent to fight to the end, even if you knock out a head, you can't immediately transform into the Buddha Lord, and Chen Feng can't really put on his underwear and become a superman.

Rondo was free for a whole quarter, but when he met Billups, an old fritter who needed experience and body, his immaturity and thin body became flaws.

Whether it's West playing or Rondo controlling the rhythm, it's hard to die when you run into Billups.

The Celtics team lacks a man who is like a god of the sea. Pierce, who is the only one who can take on this burden, can only sit on the bench helplessly at this moment, watching his teammates and the Pistons fight for their lives.

Maybe things would have been different with Pierce on the court, but right now that's just fantasy.

Moreover, Sanders did not give Rasheed a stage to continue to challenge Chen Feng one-on-one. The crazy fight in the second quarter was not under his control, which made Sanders very annoyed after returning to the locker room.

Especially for the inside defense, of course, it's mainly Mohamed's problem. Although Rashid fought fiercely with Chen Feng, at least this guy has a high scoring efficiency and can guarantee the balance of offense and defense.

But the reason why the Celtics were chasing points in the second quarter was also because of Rashid and Chen Feng's heads-up duel.

However, in order to take care of Rasheed's face, Sanders did not point the finger at him, but this guy replaced all the main players, which is to indirectly tell Rasheed that your duel is over.

Don't think about continuing such crazy performances. Although Rashid's face is not very good-looking, but with old guys like Billups around, he didn't say much. After all, winning the game and winning five consecutive victories is the real thing.

Being chased by the opponent only leads by two points. Such a situation has already made Sanders a little bit on pins and needles.

If it weren't for the two quarters left in the game, it is estimated that Sanders would have already switched to the main force to fight the Celtics, but this rotation still gave the Pistons enough rest time.

After the intermission, Sanders arranged tactics according to the habits of the main players.

There is no one-on-one, only the whole, and the suffocating defensive system. When the Pistons start to play its overall advantage, the Celtics' offensive and defensive ends seem a bit full of loopholes.

Even though Chen Feng scored twice in a row at the beginning of the third quarter, but then he began to face opponents' double-teams when attacking under the basket, and Billups and Prince even made repeated shots to interfere with him.

It is estimated that this kind of treatment is really not something that ordinary people can enjoy, but Chen Feng is obviously regarded as a dangerous person by the Pistons. In order to contain him, double-team defense is a must.

Originally, it was already very difficult to fight Rashid one-on-one. Now he had to be distracted to deal with Billups and Prince's entanglement. From this moment, Chen Feng's offensive firepower was gradually contained.

The most important thing is that the Pistons cut off the connection with Chen Feng from the outside line, Billups suppressed Rondo, and Prince dealt with Tony Allen.

The pass from Rondo and other outsiders could not be handed over to Chen Feng comfortably, which made Chen Feng have to make adjustments after receiving the ball, but once adjusted, the Pistons' double-teams would immediately surround him.

The Pistons' overall tactics were already very sophisticated, and with so many experienced veterans, Chen Feng immediately fell into a one-on-one dilemma if he wanted to set a trap against a newcomer.

Chen Feng could grit his teeth and carry Rashid, but he couldn't withstand the endless harassment of so many people.

It's like playing StarCraft. It was originally one-on-one, but after entering the console, you find out that the other party is completely planning to gang up on you. You really have no other choice but to quit the game.

Chen Feng was dealing with such a situation. Even if he was extremely explosive, he could only pass the ball out as much as possible while being double-teamed by so many people, waiting for his teammates to attack again.

To make matters worse, the Celtics' offensive firepower, starting from the third quarter, was out of order both inside and outside.

Chen Feng mainly attacked the basket, so Jefferson could only stay between the three-point line and the three-second zone, and he ran into Davis who was playing with an injury, and the opponent's height would interfere with his mid-range shots.

The inside line was restrained, and the outside line could not provide fire support. Whether it was Szczerbiak, Tony Allen, or West, they all seemed to have suddenly lost their sights.

The Celtics originally wanted to rely on Jefferson and Chen Feng's strong attack to the basket to start to open up the situation on the outside, but they missed six consecutive three-pointers, which was too demoralizing.

The Pistons also took advantage of the Celtics' continuous offensive failures, relying on Hamilton's erratic positioning and mid-range, coupled with Billups' precise three-pointers with a big heart, they scored consecutive [-] points.

The score, which had already been close, was pulled away again by a small wave of the Pistons. Since then, the Pistons have been firmly controlling the rhythm of the game.

Chen Feng and Jefferson's occasional shocks were nothing more than narrowing the score gap slightly.

But this didn't change the whole situation much. It was the same throughout the third quarter. When the score was extended to 80:65, Rivers made the decision to replace Chen Feng.

At this time, it had been more than 28 minutes since this kid came on the court. During these 28 minutes, Chen Feng was almost spinning continuously. He scored 23 points, nine rebounds and two blocks in the paint by himself.

Although he returned to the bench with such magnificent statistics, Chen Feng did not have a smile on his face.

"Don't be reconciled. The regular season has just started, and your NBA career has just started. One day you will win it back. Look at the relieved expression on the opponent's face. You have already won a lot for yourself."

Seeing Chen Feng's frowning expression, Rivers whispered next to him, he understood the kid's unwillingness to face a disadvantage, and he also hoped that Chen Feng could remember every detail here.

Losing is not terrible, the terrible thing is that you don't know how you lost.

Let this crazy boy remember every detail here, let him remember that facing those teams that are stronger than him, dare to fight, dare to face-to-face with the opponent, you can win a lot.

Maybe you failed badly this time, but there's no guarantee you won't walk away with a victory next time.

Just like what Rashid said after the game when he was interviewed by a Detroit reporter about Chen Feng, "That kid? He played very well, that's all."

He didn't say anything more, but from Rasheed's tone, someone could tell that that night, that bald-headed wild boy left a deep impression on him.

And before Chen Feng left, he also left a sentence for those reporters, "I will come back again, for sure!"

"But the next time I step into the Palace of Auburn Hills, what I want to take away is victory." I didn't say this sentence, but it has already taken root in Chen Feng's heart.

Facing those strong teams, the current Celtics may still look a bit fragile, but no one dares to say what will happen in the future. Who can guarantee that the next time they meet, that kid won't be crazier?

Just like the line in Terminator 2, iwillbeback!

It's just that when he comes back, maybe that bald boy will be as fierce and fearless as the Terminator.
