Chapter 226 Old Piston
Shi Lei finally walked into the locker room. At this time, some people had already entered the locker room.

It was still early before the start of the game, everyone hadn't changed their clothes yet, and they were discussing interesting things with each other. As soon as Shi Lei came in, his new outfit naturally caused another wave of hot topics.

After a while, the rest of the team members also came in one after another, followed by Rivers. He stood in the middle of the locker room.

As soon as Rivers stopped here, the Celtics players shut their mouths in unison, waiting for the head coach's pre-match arrangements.

"Billups got hurt, which is good news for us, but guys, we shouldn't let our guard down and think we're going to win today. We played them, how tough they are, I think I don't need to tell you guys.

Logically speaking, we have three 'superstars', and there are enough good players in each position, but everyone, don't forget that the Los Angeles Lakers were more 'expensive' than us, but the Pistons just defeated them. to the championship.

So, boys, I need you to go all out today, I need you to win today, use your offense, your defense to tell your opponents that this is their end! "

After Rivers finished his speech, the team members promised and gave Rivers a firm answer, which made Rivers smile in satisfaction.

Time passed slowly, and it was almost time for the game, and the Celtics players all came to the player tunnel. TD North Shore Garden has now become the devil's home stadium, the fans are shouting desperately, and the cheerleaders on the field are also performing hard.

Suddenly, the beauties of the cheerleaders receded like a tide, and the Pistons players began to appear on the stage. The DJ limply mechanically announced the names of the players. hiss.

As the last player of the Pistons came out of the player tunnel, all the sounds on the court stopped immediately, even the overhead lights of the court were extinguished, and the players' wonderful goal shots began to be shown on the big screen. Then in conjunction with these shots, the DJ on the scene was shouting the names of the Celtics players.

Every Celtic player came out, and they were greeted with warm cheers. When the last Pierce's name was read out, that kind of cheer reached its peak.

Slowly walking out of the dark tunnel, surrounded by cheers.This arena is boiling. After a few years of silence, TD North Shore Garden has finally regained its vitality. They finally stepped into the floor of the Eastern Conference Finals once again.

The game started, the main players began to appear on the field, and Shi Lei also sat down on the bench. This was a game that he needed to focus on observing. With the increase of game experience and the accumulation of court knowledge, the Spurs and Pistons, in Shi Lei's My mind became more and more unpredictable.

Garnett scrambled for the ball with Rasheed Wallace in the middle circle. Facing his old opponents who are also the "four power forwards", Garnett once again pointed the ball to the side of the Celtics. Rondo ran Got the basketball in the past.

The task on Rondo today is heavier than before, because today he is no longer facing weak guards like West and Bibby, but Chauncey Billups, such a finals MVP level guard.

Although the point guard is injured, this is not something that Rondo can sneak a peek at.

Rondo's advancing speed was very fast today, but when he passed the Pistons' halfcourt, he found that the Pistons' defense had been tightly organized.

Through this defense, Shi Lei discovered the difference between the Pistons and the Spurs. The core of the Spurs' defense was Duncan on the inside and Bowen on the outside, while the Pistons relied more on the overall body and paid more attention to physical contact.

Not giving the Celtics players any chance to move freely, the players of the two teams quickly blended together, especially on the inside. Now that the game has just started, Garnett and Lacie on the inside De Wallace wrestled together.

Wallace is not as talented as Garnett. This is not the point. The point is that he is far behind Garnett in attitude. At this time, Wallace's body is already out of shape, and his body is full of fat.

This is an advantage in some ways, such as in the dogfight, the fat on his body makes Garnett very uncomfortable, but when it comes to rebounding, Wallace is not so lucky.

This season may be Ray Allen's worst season. There are reasons for the "Big Three" to share the shrinking data, and there are also reasons for his touch.When Garnett couldn't find a place to catch the ball, Ray Allen jumped outside.

After Ben Wallace left, the steel interior of the Pistons weakened a lot, and the Pistons did not find a suitable person to continue guarding their interior.Antonio McDyess couldn't support the sky, and Rashid is a player who relies on talent, so Garnett, whose jumping ability is still at an amazing level, successfully grabbed the rebound.

Every team that played against the Celtics, Garnett was their first defensive target, but after the injury, Antonio and the lazy Rasheed moved too slowly. After failing to grab rebounds, they still Without getting a foothold, Garnett jumped up and put the basketball into the basket.

Shooting is a matter of touch and tactics. Ray Allen has absolutely no problem with his professional ethics. He is also proficient in running off the ball. Following Hamilton, his defense slows down the Pistons' offense, which has serious problems. down.

Playing with injuries still has an impact on Billups, making his strong body no longer the weapon he can rely on to defeat his opponents. Under the defense of the younger Rondo, Billups no longer goes inside Instead, he stood at the top of the arc looking for an opportunity to pass the ball.

Hamilton ran across the baseline, and suddenly ran back through the inside to get rid of Ray. Allen got the basketball, caught the ball and raised his hand to shoot. The Celtics' defense immediately turned around in the next moment. Hamilton saw the defense arrived, and then Passed the ball to Prince.

Hamilton's pass is well grasped, but it is definitely not because of his passing talent, but a tacit understanding, which is a tacit understanding cultivated between them over the years.

Prince took the ball and pushed it one step further, and Garnett pulled out from the basket, jumped up and interfered with the opponent's shot, then quickly turned around and returned to the inside.

But Garnett protected the rebound!

"Their inside lines are slow!"

On the sidelines, Shi Lei noted down the first shortcoming of this old Pistons.
