Chapter 688 Winning streak
After winning the very chaotic Nets, the Celtics ushered in the challenge of the Pistons on March 3.

The Pistons this season are still a disappointing team.

The arrival of Josh Smith did not bring the due improvement to this once iron-blooded team. The record was basically the same as last season, and the team's condition did not improve much.

In view of this situation, many Detroit fans and the media said that this team has long since lost the shadow of those years when it won the championship, and it is completely a team that eats and waits to die.

Regarding these words from the outside world, the Pistons management is also very headache.

They can't figure it out at all. Over the years, they have been trying to return to the way they should be, but things always backfire, and the road ahead is very difficult.

and so.

They decided to change teams again.

As for who to take the knife.

Given that the team only made some changes in the summer, the next victim may only be team coach Maurice Cheeks.

It is said that they have already begun to contact the big player among the former coaches, Jeff Van Gundy's brother, Stan Van Gundy who once led the Heat to a very good record.

They firmly believe that as long as the veteran coach can join, they are bound to complete a gorgeous turn.

of course.

At this stage, they must try to play every game well, after all, the regular season of this season has not yet finished.

That night.

The Celtics are still very well attended at home and the fans are very relaxed and waiting to enjoy the game.

When the two teams came to the arena, a seemingly intense match was declared to have begun.

The first quarter of the game.

The two teams were more or less trying to test each other, but the Celtics were even better and won this quarter with a score of 26:22.

In the first quarter of the game, the tit-for-tat confrontation between Qin Tao and Josh Smith became an exciting point on the court.

Everyone knows that Josh Smith has gradually focused on playing small forwards at this stage.

But with the Celtics playing their small ball game again, he must return to his familiar position, power forward.

In order to contain him, Qin Tao would naturally choose this position.

So the two entered a counterpoint state from the very beginning.

Their battle completely stimulated the emotions of the fans at the scene.

Josh Smith is shorter and faster, and his impact is also extraordinary.

Qin Tao is taller and more powerful, with unquestionable explosive power and dominance.

that's it.

When Josh Smith completed a few dunks with the help of his teammates, Qin Tao was often able to use a more violent style of play to destroy the Pistons' inside line.

After the first quarter was over, the two competed for a verdict.

Under Qin Tao's attack, Josh Smith not only fouled three times, but also because of Qin Tao's communication with his teammates, he didn't score a single point in the last 6 minutes.

then.

When the second quarter started, Coach Cheeks didn't seem to be planning to play small balls with the Celtics, but directly sent the team's twin towers, Andre Drummond and Greg Gates. Ro.

Their lineup will put tremendous pressure on the Celtics just inside.

Because Qin Tao was not present, it was really difficult to guard against Humphries and Salinger only with the combination of Humphries and Salinger.

of course.

The two of them are much stronger than the Pistons due to their size and mobility.

Therefore, when the Pistons were playing dominant positions, Humphries and Salinger were not to be outdone, and used their strengths to match up with the Twin Towers.

Don't say it.

After the main battlefield appeared on the inside, the two sides played really well.

Even though outside players have been reduced to a foil, their offense and defense are still very exciting.

So at the end of halftime, Qin Tao and other main players basically didn't play much, allowing the Pistons to take a 22:20 lead.

natural.

After losing this quarter, the Celtics still hold a 4-point lead.

After the intermission, the second half of the game became more intense.

have to say.

In the locker room, it seemed that Cheeks or Josh Smith did something. They showed a strong aggressiveness at the beginning of the third quarter, which was not at all like a fish belly. look.

And Qin Tao is naturally not to be outdone, especially when all the main players are on the stage, the cohesion and impact are really very strong.

So after the two teams start fighting, you can see a very passionate scene.

Qin Tao is like a dragon crossing the river inside, no matter whether it is Drummond or Monroe, no one can stop his footsteps.

On the Pistons side is Josh Smith.

Maybe Cheeks talked to him and started the second half at small forward.

have to say.

There is really some gap between Jeff Green and him. He can't stand up to the former flying general at all, so that Smith has brought a strong wind to the Pistons with dunks in a short time.

but.

The two sides played fiercely, but what the stars should do on the court was revealed in the second half of the third quarter.

Because the Pistons only had Josh Smith as their explosive point, Qin Tao asked his teammates to start the team mode at an appropriate time.

Thus.

The Pistons suddenly discovered that it seemed to be very difficult to score.

When they realized it later and decided not to play inside, but to focus on the outside, the performances of Brandon Jennings and Will Bynum seemed somewhat weak.

The last section.

They were a pair of small assaulters, firing shots from the outside line one after another, and scored a lot of points in a short time.

But the Pistons are bursting from the outside, but the Celtics will not sit and watch you.

then.

When the Celtics played a team and gradually suppressed the pair of small men, the Pistons suddenly fell into a stagnation.

finally.

With Qin Tao's powerful dunk, he scored his No. 20 six points in the game. Even if there is more than a minute left in the game, it can be said that the final conclusion has been reached.

Because the Pistons played beautifully, but the [-]-point difference was so dazzling.

By the end of the game, the Celtics, with their stars and teamwork, looked very lively and won another victory for them with a 112-100 score.

after the game.

When the two sides went to the media meeting, the on-site media directly threw heavy questions to the Celtics.

ask.

Will their goals this season improve a bit, and do a good job of competing with the Eastern Conference for some Eastern Conference championships.

Is Qin Tao ready for the East Finals?

Has Stevens made a series of arrangements for the Eastern Conference finals!
Is the team ready to hit the championship!

Qin Tao and Stevens' answers to these somewhat exaggerated questions are very interesting.

One of them left us with more than half of the task for this season.

The other is to stay, the goal of any team in the league will be the trophy that symbolizes the highest honor!
