Four hundred and seventieth chapters die to the end
Updated: 2013-05-12
Maybe no one knows what Sanders feels now, but Rashid Wallace is definitely in the same mood as him. Since he saw the boy who grinned at him in front of him, he knew that nothing would be good.
Rashid Wallace himself didn't know how many times he had run into Chen Feng on the court, but the only thing he had never forgotten was that every time he met this bald boy, nothing good happened to him.
From the first meeting last season, whenever you want to bump into Chen Feng, it must be a life-long collision and constant small movements. That kid is tough and looks like he is the inside player in the 1990s!
It can be called "Roaring Heavenly Lord". In addition to applying for more technical fouls, Rashid Wallace is also a well-known insider hardliner in the league.
When he was able to block O'Neal's rampage with Big Ben, he directly killed the Lakers' F4 combination, thanks to Rashid Wallace showing his tough style on the inside and outside.
Even Malone couldn't stand his singles. You can imagine how fierce Rashid Wallace was.
But since you met Chen Feng, this matter seemed to have changed. You are tough, I'll go, that kid is even tougher than you. If you want to take advantage of your experience, that kid may be even more sinister than you.
This is simply too fatal, mainly because you don’t know what to do with such a good guy. Rashid Wallace wanted to put his "roaring at the Heavenly Lord" posture, but he didn’t like this!
This made Rashid Wallace so depressed that he was extremely depressed. As a result, the current situation left a big shadow on him. After appearing, he still watched Chen Feng grin at this side.
That inexplicable smile is even more terrifying than meeting a lone wolf when walking in the middle of the night. No matter how you look at the white teeth, there is a cold smell inside, which makes you feel a deep sense of vigilance.
Otherwise, it is said that the older an animal can feel the danger, and the same goes for humans. The older the animal, the more sensitive it is.
Often, this keen feeling can make him know what he is facing. Rashid Wallace is not old, but he has been in this league for many years, and his sense of smell is always sensitive enough.
While Sanders was still thinking about Rivers' intention to change the formation, the five guys on the Pistons' field had already felt that the atmosphere on the Celtics was wrong, especially Rashid Wallace and Billups.
This time Rashid Wallace did not run to the middle to jump the ball, but instead went to McDace, but even they themselves knew very well that no one in the Pistons planned to cause any trouble for Chen Feng in this link.
That kid is so good at jumping. The old guys of the Pistons are not his opponents at all. Who can fight with him for nothing?
Therefore, no one is willing to touch that nail. The jumping part is basically abandoned. In fact, it is not just the Pistons. Except for the "Warcraft" of the Magic team and the spirit of competing with that kid, the other teams are almost avoiding such humiliating links and not competing with the madman.
McDace also knew what his task was, at most it was to harass him and then prevent his opponent from launching a fast attack during the jump ball stage, that's all.
But this time McDace's harassment did not delay Chen Feng's absolute advantage. The boy successfully gave the racket to Pierce, but the Green Shirts' lightning offensive was not launched immediately.
Pierce, who held the ball in his hand, moved forward slowly. Even with Prince's harassment, he firmly controlled the ball. While stabilizing the rhythm, he was still calling his opponent to run.
It was until the three-point line that Pierce passed the basketball to Cassel under Garnett's cover. The old guy met Billups face to face.
No hurry, no rush, control the ball steadily, use your body as a cover, push Billups to the periphery, and prevent him from having the chance to intercept the ball or harass him. An old guy like Kassel cannot play fast attacks, but he can afford to waste time.
Billups is definitely strong among the defenders, so when he stalemates with ordinary point guards, he can always put a lot of pressure on the opponent. Rondo was curbed because there was a gap in confrontation.
Rivers saw this, so in this positional battle, Rondo did not let Rondo appear, but chose to use Kassel to deal with Billups and fight against him physically, which was exactly what the old guy was not afraid of.
Although Bilups' physique was 8 kilograms heavier than Kassel, he was also 1.91 meters tall, so he was not sure to eat the "alien" who was more experienced than his experience.
It's stable, but it doesn't mean that the Celtics' offense is so stagnant. Even if Cassel's speed is not as fast as before, his experienced pass can still keep the entire team running very quickly.
Kassel held the ball in his hand and did not rush to enter. He just hovered around the three-point line, looking for an offensive opportunity.
The old guy withstood Billups. Kassel used Pierce to pull him from the side, seized a gap, and directly hit the ground and distributed the ball to Garnett, who had already cut to the three-second zone.
Passing and running, all of this was just right, Billups didn't have time to interfere, and similarly, McDace, the inside, didn't have time to stop Garnett from holding the ball comfortably in the dangerous area.
The collision between the shoulders, Garnett cut in a crushing manner against Mike Dyce, who was obviously thinner than him. Before the opponent's hands could block the angle, the "Wolf King" had already taken action.
McDace wanted to cover Garnett's offense, but his height was a bit different, and Garnett had an advantage in physical confrontation when cutting in, so this kind of shooting could not be blocked.
Rashid Wallace wanted to help there, but he was stuck behind Chen Feng and could not move at all.
Holding the ball, cutting in, and pressing the opponent's lightweight game. The Celtics' first offense was not as fast as a storm. Garnett chose to cut in and take action at the 20th second.
But this kind of offense really makes the Pistons feel a little different. They had all confronted the Celtics head-on in the playoffs last season and the regular season this season, but the Celtics played at that time at that time!
At that time, the Celtics relied on impact to take advantage. Rondo delivered accurate passes in the backcourt, Pierce and Ray Allen were in the outer position in front, and Garnett and Chen Feng were in the inside.
The offensive routine of holding the ball with one person and four points is the main way for the Celtics to sweep the league in the regular season. Many people say that such an offense depends on the player's personal ability and is very unsolvable.
That's true. Even Rivers himself said that when this lineup appears in the regular season, it must be to use Rondo to connect the abilities of several people, and then launch an attack, and fight fiercely!
Use offense to suppress the opponent, and then use each person's offensive threat to cause trouble for the opponent's defense.
This offensive posture, which is like a tide, will definitely put a lot of defensive pressure on the opponent, but this is limited to the regular season, where Rivers is very clear about the difference between the regular season and the playoffs.
The offensive method that can destroy the opponent in the regular season is not necessarily useful in the playoffs such as the tip-to-head match against Mai Mang. Both sides will pay attention to defense, especially at the Eastern Conference Finals.
Everyone knows that in the playoffs, defense is emphasized. In such a confrontation, what efficiency can your offense be like the wind be? Rivers is not good at such crazy gambling.
He is not an outlaw like Old Nelson. He will insist on attacking no matter what kind of game he is in!
Therefore, since the Celtics defeated the Hawks, they have been adjusting their tactical arrangements. This kind of tempering has been unfolded in the second half of the regular season, but Rivers has not taken it out for special use.
But by now, when you meet the Pistons, there is nothing to hide. What you are fighting for is efficiency. There is no need to pursue any beautiful scenes at this time. What Rivers wants is that the team can control the situation.
It is better to reduce the speed than to defeat the opponent in positional battles, so you can not attack, but you should make fewer mistakes when choosing the offensive timing and let the opponent seize the opportunity to launch a fast attack counterattack.
What Rivers wants is Garnett's attack just now. He does not pursue speed, but he must make good use of the opportunity when the opportunity comes out. He is not afraid that the pace of the game will be a bit slow, but he must maintain high efficiency.
Pursuing physical confrontation, paying attention to the interweaving and running of the entire team, using mutual covers, launching attacks when you are most confident, so that the opponent's physical energy can be consumed as much as possible in this height of physical confrontation.
Rivers is not afraid of attrition. He has too much personnel reserves to do such things. Now, he has pointed the tip of the bayonet at Sanders, approaching inch by inch, giving his opponent a strong sense of oppression.
The offense can be so meticulous and the defense must be so tight. The Celtics will not leave too many opportunities to use for their opponents in positional battles, and will always put pressure on the opponent in physical confrontation.
The Pistons are no longer young. How long can they last in such high confrontation may be the issue Sanders needs to consider. Rivers is just accelerating the emergence of this situation now.
"When they played against the Magic team, their overall physical condition was showing a downward trend. So, how long can they last now? I think this kind of close-knit fight will definitely make those old guys suffer."
Rivers whispered with Thibodeau on the sidelines, and at this moment, the score on the field had reached 12:8.
The Celtics' leading advantage does not seem obvious, and even the opponent's offense may advance faster, but Rivers' eyes look sharper.
What he wants is not temporary gains and losses, but ultimate victory. Such a confrontation is like a quagmire, covering the Pistons' heads.
(The Lord Sir is leaving too. Oh, it's a little sad. Time is passing. How much passion can we fans who have watched the ball and chatted? Cherish every day because we are old...)
