If you want to choose a home court you least want to go to in NBA, it is estimated that Auburn Hill Palace Stadium in Detroit will definitely be the first choice for many people, because the atmosphere here really makes people feel very awkward.

It’s not that the stadium is so dilapidated, nor that there are too many fierce physical conflicts here.

It's just a feeling, but you can't deny that the existence of Auburn Mountain Palace is a very strong suppression for any opponent who comes to make trouble, and it will make you feel very uncomfortable.

There are no big-name stars sitting on the sidelines to enjoy your performances, no gorgeous nightlife, only high crime rates, this is the current situation in Detroit, although this was once the most arsenal in the United States decades ago.

But you cannot deny that the decline here is like the US economy, sluggish, and the high unemployment rate drives instability. Detroit's population has been reduced by one-third compared to its heyday.

"Auto City", what Detroit is most proud of is the American automobile manufacturing industry over the past century.

The rise and fall of this city is inseparable from cars. The rise of cars, Detroit, the fall of cars, Detroit, and the rise of the Detroit Pistons is also inseparable from those tough blue-collar workers.

And those rough blue-collar workers are also the most unbearable for the away team. A group of fans with strong presence can yell from an hour before the game starts until the game is completely over.

It may not be that crazy during the regular season, but once it reaches the playoffs, no team is willing to play away from Detroit, which often represents an inhuman torture.

Even the old fairies of the Spurs are reluctant to provoke the wild people in Detroit. You can imagine what kind of pressure the Auburn Hill Palace Stadium in Detroit brought to the away team.

This is not the first time the Celtics wild boys have fallen here before, but now they are making a comeback and all they have to do is win.

The away atmosphere is still noisy, but compared to Staples in Los Angeles and Madison Garden in New York, the Auburn Hills Palace Stadium is more vicious, and this is the territory of Detroit blue-collar workers.

"Hi, guys, you guys are not welcome here, get out of here!" If someone takes the lead, there will definitely be someone to echo, and it is not a little voice, but the roar of more than 10,000 people in unison.

This is the most distinctive welcome ceremony in Detroit. More than 10,000 rough men are making demonstration gestures at you. If you dare to fight back, their response may become more fierce.

"You guys are here, just wait for the loss! Just like last time, hurry up and go home to find your mother!"

With such a roar, the Celtics completed a warm-up on the Pistons' territory, but the sound was just an appetizer. When the game started, it would definitely be more fierce than this.

All that is here is blue-collar workers, who are tough, fierce, swearing, and tighten their muscles to demonstrate to you.

Detroit is not Los Angeles, there are no beautiful faces here on the sidelines to smile charmingly at you. Even if there are women, their shouting will probably not be inferior to those men with fierce expressions on their faces.

At the beginning, these guys used this roar to smash the gorgeous impact of the Lakers F4 combination, but now, they are just changing their opponents. In Detroit and at Auburn Hill Palace, the Pistons are the most terrifying.

This away atmosphere is not unique, but for any opponent, if you want to win the away game in Detroit, you must put in more effort because your opponents will be very difficult to defeat.

Most media and critics have also made predictions long ago that although the Celtics showed strong strength when dealing with the Raptors, the Raptors are not Pistons, which is not an equal-level comparison.

Just like Murphy said, "Some teams, in the regular season, can easily make you ignore their existence, but in the playoffs, you must always remember that those guys can bite people."

There is no doubt that the Pistons are such a team. He can follow many teams slowly in the regular season. Even if they are not the number one in the Eastern Conference, as long as they can enter the playoffs, they will immediately change.

Just look at how the Magic were swept. The Raptors' style of playing was completely restrained, but the Pistons killed the Orlando guys, which showed a high intensity that would only be available in the playoffs.

It is already very telling that being able to focus on Howard's nothing and limit Nelson's failure to play. As long as the Pistons enter the playoffs, they are the most terrifying opponents.

Even if the Celtics can sweep the Raptors and encounter such an Eastern boss blocking the road ahead, the prospects are probably not optimistic, and even Murphy maintains a relatively objective attitude.

It was very difficult to reach the Eastern Conference Finals as soon as it recovered. Moreover, when encountering a strong team like the Pistons in the second round, the Celtics wanted to go a step further and it seemed quite stressful.

Even after finally getting the Nets, Mike Brown admitted that the Cavaliers would rather touch the Bulls than meet the Pistons too early. That standard hard bone is definitely not easy to chew.

If you want to compete for the Eastern Conference championship to enter the finals, the later the meeting with the Pistons, the better. At least now the Cavaliers and the Bulls are happy to see the Celtics playing this iron plate.

Rivers knew this, and he also understood that waiting for his confrontation would not be as easy as the first round. The Detroit Pistons are not the Toronto Raptors, and they would not be defeated by the Celtics so easily.

You can trample the Raptors under your feet at will, but when you encounter the Pistons, the Celtics' role is a challenger. Whether you can overthrow this Eastern boss, in addition to your strength, you also need enough luck.

The Celtics management did not put much pressure on the team. It was already considered Rivers' over-complete completion of the task from last season when he was at the bottom of the East.

Being able to sweep the Raptors in the first round was a start for the Celtics to establish their dominance in the Atlantic region. The team's boss Vick Grosbeck has reason to believe that the team is moving forward steadily.

Before the team entered the second round, Vick Grosbeck talked to Angie that the team's transfer transaction next season could be carried out as long as it could be settled, and the shareholders had no objection.

This has shown the boss' attitude. You can give it a try this season. Next season, the team's lineup will be more powerful. As long as Angie is not smart, the Celtics' framework will not disperse.

Auerbach's opinion played a great role in this. According to the old guy, even if you plant a tree, you need to give it time to grow, and the saplings will not become vegetarians in one night.

This relatively relaxed environment is a luxury for any coach, but for the Celtics who have just come out of the ruins, pulling out seedlings to grow is definitely not a good choice.

But Rivers admitted to his defeat before he even met the Pistons. At least four games can be fought, and it is still uncertain who will live and who will die.

"I had already said before coming that the two away games are not about trying to win one. If possible, I don't mind getting them twice." Rivers' opening remarks made a rare joke.

In fact, before the Celtics got the Raptors, this fat guy had studied with Thibodeau. Unless a miracle happened, a showdown between the Celtics and the Pistons was inevitable.

Although the opponent is not the time when Larry Brown entered the Finals twice, the Pistons' rich playoff experience will definitely kill the Celtics in seconds.

There is no chance to compete for experience, and the player's personal ability is the opponent's strategy. This is even more true in terms of technical and tactical system. Even if Sanders is not the old fairy Larry Brown, he will not be defeated.

Even though Sanders has been trying to put his own personal mark on the Pistons, no matter how this guy is doing, the foundation of the championship team is still there, and the overall structure has not changed much, so it is impossible to collapse easily.

Even if this guy loses his fortune, it will probably take two or three seasons to completely break up the Pistons. If this showdown is delayed by two years, Rivers may be sure to be stronger than his opponent.

But now, the Celtics have no good countermeasures besides fighting. Instead of thinking about how to set up an ambush for the opponent, it is better to adjust their state in place.

If everything is at a disadvantage, it is better to let go of your psychological burden and spread it out, only considering what you can perform, without considering the final result.

Rivers was not sure that he could kill the Pistons, the top star in the Eastern Conference, but he could guarantee that even if his opponent wins, he would feel pain. Therefore, during the preparations, he did not create any psychological burden on the players.

Just lightweight, Rivers also said in his last lecture before boarding the plane, "Now, whether it is home or away, if you can play at your own level, it is victory."

In the duel between experts, use less secret moves and dangerous moves. All he has to fight for is strength. Whoever can withstand it is the winner. Rivers doesn’t know if he can overturn his opponent, but he wants to try it.

With the same mentality, the Celtics' livestock can still smile slightly in the face of the roars of more than 10,000 home fans and never smoke.

Afraid of being an egg? You can still be reincarnated by the Nine-Headed Worm? Roar your grandma with a claw! Let you all shut up later!

Rivers' opening remark in the locker room was to relax the wild boys under his command.

"Everyone has seen the atmosphere here. They don't welcome us. The reason is very simple, because these guys are all afraid, afraid to see the final score, and afraid that we will win in the end!"

"When people are afraid, they will roar loudly. You have heard the sounds just now. They are terrified. If possible, I hope this sound can be infinitely amplified, just like their fear. When they realize that their shouts cannot save the team, they will shut up."

"So, when you walk out of the locker room, use your hands to make them afraid and shut up!"

The ups and downs were enough for Rivers, who was usually fat and slapping everyone's emotions at the last moment. He slapped the blackboard hard, like a drumming of war for the army.

"I have only one request! Kill them! Even if this is Detroit, I have to kill those guys!"

"We are already in the semi-finals of the Eastern Conference, but this is definitely not the end. Just like stepping on the Raptors to death, you will kill the Pistons! Use the score to tell them who is the boss of the Eastern Conference!"

Having said that, Rivers no longer has to add fuel to the fire. The wild boys of the Celtics were originally a group of tough madmen, but now their nerves are already excited enough.

"Ma, go up and kill them now!" Even the buttery boys like Pierce and Chen Feng dared to beat the muscles in their chests and roar in a low voice.

For these guys who came out of Boston and were full of wildness, the noise and booing outside were never pressure. The commander ignited the excitement in their bones was an urge to challenge the strong!

And not only challenge the other party, they also have to overturn the opponent to the ground! The boss of the Eastern Conference is amazing? When it comes to dealing with you, I won’t be ruthless.

If you don’t agree? Then come and fight! See who can leave from Auburn Hill Palace with victory and who can advance to the next round!

(The night shift the day before yesterday, three people who were critically ill and needed to be rescued. They worked all night. I got off work yesterday and couldn't stand it anymore. After writing less than a thousand words, I fell asleep on my laptop. I really didn't break it on purpose. In recent days, the weather in Shenyang was very bad, and it was hot and cold. Some elderly people's bodies couldn't stand this. They were seriously ill one after another. The last notification was given, there were many patients, few doctors, and they were exhausted... It was either to make excuses, or to say, well, you can choose to beat me up...t_t)
