Forward to the basket

The schedule will not be changed arbitrarily because of Sanders' melancholy, and the second game will still be staged on time. It is also at the North Shore Garden Arena in Boston, and those crazy Celtics fans are still welcoming the Pistons.

The lineup that Rivers offered has not changed at all, and the Celtics' tactical thinking is still dead.

In the first game, the Pistons were pushed into a dead corner. Now Rivers requires the players to punch continuously, trying to beat the Detroit people to the ground in one breath, and let the opponent leave with a score of zero to two.

This time Rivers did not expect to be able to sweep, but at home, he must ensure that he does not lose points and that the Detroiters cannot steal a victory. This is Rivers' request. Facing the imposing Celtics, The only way Sanders can think of is to reduce fouls, reduce turnovers, and don't let opponents attack to the basket easily.

This is easy to say, but how difficult is it to do it?It's not that those teams didn't understand where they lost, but if you can see it, you can defend it?This is not playing nb's game. [

However, Sanders currently has only a few players at his disposal. It is basically impossible for him to make major changes. At most, he can find a way in terms of coordination and offensive focus, but this is impossible to solve the problem.

The inside line must ensure the pinch defense against the ball holder, but facing Garnett and Chen Feng, who do you want to pinch?

Garnett?Come on, if you want to keep an eye on this guy, then McDyess probably has to run all over the field, at least to defend to the three-point line to be safe. Don't forget, the range of "Wolf King" is also very far.

You have to give him a chance, this guy even dares to let go and shoot a three-pointer directly. Facing such an insider, if you want to stick to him to death, then you can only fight alone and follow him from beginning to end, never leaving.

But if McDyess followed, Chen Feng and Rasheed Wallace would be left on the inside. Now this problem is the most annoying to Sanders, who is going to keep an eye on that fierce bald boy! ?

Still counting on Rasheed Wallace to top it?Not to mention whether this matter is reliable or not, the main problem is that Rasheed Wallace himself has made it clear that he really cannot withstand Chen Feng's strong attack from the inside.

You seldom see "Roaring God" admitting cowardice, but on this issue, Rasheed Wallace doesn't talk so much useless, can't bear it, just can't bear it, he doesn't need to be there Hold on to the end.

If this was in 04, when his physical strength and experience were at their peak, and with "Big Ben" as his partner, Rasheed Wallace would dare to say that Chen Feng would be killed, but now, even he himself No confidence.

It’s not that a one-on-one duel is doomed to failure, but facing the Celtics’ interspersed running, Rasheed Wallace and McDyess can’t form a good protection, and they have to be very passive every time Go one against one.

Originally, the combination of Garnett and Feng Chen alone was enough to defy the sky, but now they have to deal with the two guys' frontal attack with the ball. Obviously, this is a disadvantage for the defense. It has something to do with personal ability or something.

Rasheed Wallace can't take advantage of his footwork now, and in a frontal confrontation, it is difficult to withstand Chen Feng's brutal impact. Even if he has experience, he can't resist such crazy energy .

The weakness of the inside is not only reflected in the defense. Now the Pistons' inside offense can only rely on Rasheed Wallace's outside shots. After all, this old guy has a height advantage and can shoot three-pointers.

And McDyess's mid-range is also his housekeeping skill. Even if the man in front of him is Garnett, his step-back jumper can still have a certain degree of accuracy, and he can more or less contribute a certain amount of points.

But in terms of rebounding statistics, this combination of the Pistons is doomed to failure. Facing the two pairs of long arms of Garnett and Chen Feng, it doesn't mean that if you want to fight hard, you can get rebounds into your arms. inner.

With these two gibbons rooted in the paint, if you want to compete with the rebounds, it's really self-defeating.

The Pistons no longer have a full-time blue-collar like "Big Ben", and the only ones who can compete for rebound control are Rasheed Wallace and McDyess, and Billups can occasionally go inside to help.

With such a lineup, trying to block the Celtics' rebounding plunder is undoubtedly a dream.

Counting from the first day of the Eastern Conference playoffs, after nine games, the Celtics have not lost many opponents in terms of rebounds, and they have never lost to anyone. The same is true against the Pistons.

They won the first game with a statistic of 52:28. This is not because of how accurate the Celtics' shots are. The main reason is that there are two animals in the paint. Can't live. [

The rebounding out of control has seriously affected the offensive efficiency of the Pistons. The second attack is contained and the counterattack speed is delayed. Even at the basket, you must always guard against the Celtics' counterattack after competing for rebounds.

No one wants to mention offensive rebounds anymore, but now even backcourt rebounds cannot be protected.

This made Sanders' team very passive. It can be said that the Pistons are about to throw away the offense and defense inside. Even the reporters who watched the game can see the feeling of being restrained.

Even if Rasheed Wallace has the confidence to continue fighting Chen Feng, who will take care of Garnett?Don't forget, these two guys are not fighting on their own, their cooperation in the paint is quite sharp!

In the last game, Garnett had at least three or four offenses through Chen Feng's cover and transition. The complementary relationship between them was also the main reason why Rasheed Wallace and McDyess had such a headache.

But this is the solution, you can't guard against it, you can't bear it, you can only watch them wreak havoc without scruple.

Even if Sanders wants to break his head, it is impossible to make up for this gap. Short boards are short boards and cannot grow.

The loss of the inside line can no longer be avoided, so the outside line is the only offensive point the Pistons can count on now.

But the Celtics have too many players that can be used there, and they have enough manpower on the perimeter to compete with the Pistons. Sanders knows this well, but he has no solution.

There are many opponents, and everyone can fight. What can you do in the face of such an opponent?Sanders can only try to change the tactical arrangement, even he abandoned the consistent starting lineup in the opening stage.

Rasheed Wallace made his debut, but he was not paired with McDyess. The Pistons played inside, and he was the only one. The rest were Billups, Hamilton, Prince and Stuckey.

One big and four small, this is the change Sanders made. Since the two insiders can't support the opponent, it is better to add a guard who can hold the ball and break through on the outside. Perhaps, this can break the unfavorable situation.

This is the change Sanders made after two days of silence. He doesn't know if it will be effective, but at this time, he can only fight and do his best. In Boston, Sanders can only struggle as much as possible.

Rivers saw the changes of the Pistons, but before going on the court, he just told the players to calm down and deal with it. As for the adjustment of the opponent's back line, Rivers just asked to shoot, not to let go.

"You can let the opponent open fire from the perimeter, but you must block their breakthrough, especially don't let them use the breakthrough to cause damage. Kevin, you and Chen Feng, don't passively foul when intercepting the breakthrough."

What Rivers is thinking about now is not how the opponent uses shots to snatch points, but that he doesn't want Sanders to seize the opportunity to use the defender's breakthrough to create so-called fouls on Garnett and Chen Feng.

But obviously Rivers was over-concerned. At the beginning of the game, the Pistons' offense was really fierce, especially Stuckey, who made his debut. As soon as the Celtics' first offense succeeded, he launched a counterattack. .

When Pierce made a precise shot, as soon as Billups served the ball, Stuckey, who was catching the ball, started running all the way. He didn't even consider whether his teammates could keep up with this rhythm.

Anyway, this guy just rushed towards the Celtics half court. His posture was obviously to make a close contact with the basket. Seeing the impact speed when he threw away Posey, it was as fast as lightning. !

The biggest advantage of a small player is his starting speed and his low center of gravity, and these two advantages can be perfectly displayed on Stuckey. Although he is not tall, he is extremely fast and jumps fiercely , after getting rid of Posey's entanglement, he cut into the three-second zone almost without any pause, and dunked directly.

If the basketball in Stuckey's hands can be smashed into the basket fiercely, then his active attack is a very perfect chasing and counterattack, which is the kind of fast charge that the Pistons rarely saw in the last game.

But that's just an assumption, Stuckey's air leap is beautiful, and the guy's vertical jump is high enough. [

But the two big hands that flew over behind him directly patted the basketball that had just escaped Stucky's palm into the gap between the basket and the backboard, and the orange basketball was just stuck in the middle.

Two hands, two hands of different colors, if you are slapped so viciously by one person behind you, it is quite a tragedy, but if you are blocked by two people at the same time, then you are really a big tragedy!

Nima, is it necessary to do this!But an attempted slam dunk!Do you need the two of you to seal it?

Starkey really wanted to roar, but who would he dare to stare at?Of the two in front of me, one is famously ruthless in Minnesota, and the other is like a landlord in Boston, which is quite domineering.

Yell at them?Let me go, Stucky is really no different from courting death. He yelled at Garnett and Feng Chen. This is no longer enough to say that you have courage. In addition to courage, you also need to not be afraid of death.

Otherwise, the next time you get into the paint, it might not be basketball that gets stuck on it.

Think about it, even a little emperor with a physique can be knocked down, but Stucky, with his small arms and legs, can still withstand that kind of blow?If he was insured with a huge sum of money, he wouldn't mind giving it a try.

When such a scene played out three times in a row in the first quarter, Sanders could only sigh secretly on the sidelines. His first and fourth juniors not only had no effect, but also accelerated the death of the Pistons.

The first quarter, 30:19, in such a situation, do you still expect a comeback! ?
