Chapter 897 Against the Pistons
December [-]rd.

The Celtics and Pistons are at home in Boston for tonight's game.

At this stage.

The Pistons are at the bottom of the league with a record of 3 wins and 15 losses. The Celtics are just the opposite of them, having achieved an amazing record of [-] wins and [-] losses.

In terms of concept and ability, the two teams are basically the same, and there is basically no such thing as an upset in this game.

But the most indispensable thing in the NBA is "going against the sky". Maybe the Pistons will surprise everyone tonight.

Both sides left the player channel one after another, and the fans naturally greeted the Celtics with the warmest cheers.

The two teams entered the players' benches, talking and laughing, and it seemed that the atmosphere was the same.

This situation is really surprising, at least the Pistons have to be a little dignified, right?
However, considering their current record and the atmosphere in the team, it is understandable that such a situation occurs.

A team at the bottom meets the top team in the league without any pressure.

They can all say there's nothing to worry about, so it's fun to be a bit more relaxed before the game.

In consideration of future games, Brad Stevens made adjustments to the starters.

Although Qin Tao was wearing a training suit, he was also on the roster for this game, but he didn't intend to take it off at all, maybe he wanted to take a rest.

So the starters for the Celtics are center Olynyk, power forward Brandon Bass, small forward Jeff Green, shooting guard Avery Bradley, and point guard Nate Robinson. .

Two generals in the starting lineup chose to take turns, which made the fans laugh.

Not to make fun of the home team's arrangement, but very happy with Stevens' arrangement.

Because there will be 82 games to be played in the regular season, it is even more impossible for players to play every game like a robot.

They will be injured, they will experience a downturn, and they will even affect the game due to off-court factors such as emotions.

With the easy option of taking a break now, why not?

Once the second half of the season starts, there may not be that opportunity to rest.

Don't you see those teams that created a good record at the beginning of the season, why did they pull up in the second half?
so.

No one will criticize anything. After the players have adjusted their state and body, they will perform better later.

Besides, after the start of this season, the goal of the Celtics is to go further.

At least they have to reach the semi-finals, so as to echo their current status.

Therefore, the necessary rest is a very useful arrangement. Only a coach with a real long-term vision will choose to let go of some games.

The Pistons are still their starters.

Center Andre Drummond, power forward Kyle Singler, small forward Josh Smith, shooting guard Kendwell-Pope, and point guard Brandon Jennings.

jump ball.

Whether it's Olynyk or Brandon Bass, I'm sure no one will be Zhuang Shen's opponent.

Zhuang Shen easily got the ball for the team, let go of his feet and ran to the frontcourt.

The pace of the Pistons game was obviously faster, and other players also arrived in the frontcourt one after another with 19 seconds left.

They all took their seats.

Jennings gave the ball to Zhuang Shen immediately, and it was right for the core to play.

Because Celtic does not have Qin Tao now, no one inside can stand up to him.

Although Olynik is thin, he has no intention of retreating at all.

But thinking about his current team status, he should play his life for the current starting status.

But in the end, he couldn't change the result. Zhuang Shen used his tonnage and height to get the first goal for the Pistons with his back.

The reaction of the fans at the scene was very interesting, and they didn't complain about anything, they just showed relaxed smiles.

Because they believe that the Celtics just want to take a break, even if they lose the game, it will have no effect on them.

soon.

When the Celtics launched an offense, their rhythm was obviously much faster than the Pistons!
The five of them quickly advanced to the frontcourt, and the team ran frequently, constantly creating opportunities to score points.

Nate Robinson obviously suppressed his desire to attack, and cooperated with his teammates step by step, without reckless rampage.

coming.

After being easily beaten by Zhuang Shen, Olynyk finally got a chance to respond and fired from outside the three-point line!

But because he had just entered the field, his hand feeling was not enough to kill him with one blow, so he quickly shouted to his teammates.

An accident happened at this time!
Nate didn't know when he rushed over madly, jumped up and snatched the rebound from Zhuang Shensheng.

The scene immediately cheered, Little Tudou is indeed the energy boy.

then.

Wing Jeff Green got a chance, and a breakthrough scored two points for the Celtics.

thereafter.

In the first quarter, the two teams played back and forth. The Pistons did not seem like a bottom team, and the Celtics were not that strong.

However, because the Pistons have Zhuang Shen, they eventually led the Celtics and won the first quarter with a score of 23:20.

Back off the field.

Stevens gave a lot of praise to the performance of this group of players, without any discomfort at all.

Qin Tao looked at Zach LaVine with a smile. The kid couldn't control himself and wanted to recommend himself to play.

Section two.

The two teams began to rotate players one after another, and Zach LaVine finally got his wish.

At the beginning of the game, Zach LaVine couldn't suppress his desire to attack a little bit. He simply hit a decent percentage and got the first ball with his impact.

On the other side, the old players showed their strength. Caron Butler's comprehensive skills made Evan Turner suffer a small loss and get a goal for the Pistons.

correct.

In last month's game, Evan Turner did not play for almost a third of the time due to minor injuries.

The return of this month's game may also be the reason why he was educated by Butler.

Subsequently.

Due to the opponent's upward pressure, the young man's impetuous temper, and his lack of experience, Zach LaVine was in a situation where he had no sense of presence during the second quarter.

However, after the Celtics ended the second quarter, they still had a small victory over the Pistons, pulling back a victory with 21:20.

After returning to the locker room behind by two points, Qin Tao applauded his teammates immediately.

then.

Finding that Zach LaVine was very disappointed, Qin Tao laughed and walked towards him.

If a rookie wants to perform as soon as he plays a game, his talent is really low.

Coupled with their own experience and the intensity of confrontation in the college arena at that time, they will also be in a relatively sluggish stage.

This kind of situation is called "rookie wall", but Zach LaVine has not encountered this thing yet, but he needs to calm himself down, absorb other people's experience, and make himself more mature.
