Chapter 73 Detroit Legion

What is championship-level strength? What are the average score and rebounds per game, these are all over the world.

Generally, data flow experts who hold a calculator and squat in front of a bunch of data carefully study how many digits there are behind the decimal point will never understand what championship-level defensive efficiency is.

They will only list a lot of values ​​and pour them into your mind. When you are already feeling confused, they will win. If you ask them to explain, it is really difficult.

Because even they themselves don’t know what they are going to do to make a bunch of data every day, maybe this will make them look very professional? Only then can they know that some people like to show off themselves like this.

Anyone who likes to use data to measure games is called academy to put it nicely, but to put it badly, it is just a talk on paper. In the confrontation of basketball, some things can never be put on paper.

Courage, roar, collision, interference, there are always some subtle things that extend a lot of changes.

Just like the momentum of the championship team, if you don’t really fight them to the death, you will never know what it means. When you understand, you may find that you have been killed by them.

If the strength of a team can be measured using data, then there is no need to defeat the strong with weak.

To compare strength and fame alone, the Lakers' F4 was the most awesome, but what was the final result? It wasn't it that the Pistons' group of blue-collar muscular men were so hard that they could die.

It is okay to use data to fool the common people, but don’t fool the head coaches of those teams.

Because anyone with a discerning eye can see which team is the most threatening, not the ones who play well, but those who look simple and unpretentious will cause you fatal damage.

The Detroit Pistons are recognized as the NBA's blue-collar team. There are no superstars here, only a group of blue-collar workers.

Even Billups and Hamilton are not considered top-notch stars. This is not only about their appearance, but also about how impressive they can't perform.

These guys rarely appear in the best shots of the day, they only speak with defense and scores.

He averaged less than 20 points per game, six or seven assists, four or five rebounds, just looking at the things on paper, maybe you would think that this is just a quasi-first-class star, a bit famous, but not a big name.

If this data can be obtained, many people will probably not be convinced, but if it is on the Pistons, no one will say anything, because this team can give birth to such players.

Rivers knew very well what kind of opponent he was facing, although they were no longer as strong as they were when they defeated the Lakers F4.

But whoever dares to underestimate the Pistons will probably end up being carried out of the Auburn Mountain Palace.

In fact, in the first four games of this season, the Pistons won all the away and two home games, but they have not scored more than 100 points in a game, but they have actually won four wins.

This is efficiency, championship-level efficiency. If you don’t want to look good, it depends on whether the actual effect is powerful or not.

The Celtics are not qualified to underestimate any opponent, let alone such a championship-level opponent. Rivers can feel the sense of oppression that bursts out from his opponent.

Although the one who coaches the Pistons now is no longer the tough Larry Brown, the successor Sanders is just not an idiot.

Without randomly dismantling the structure of the champion team, the Pistons are still the fierce team that can kill all challengers with both hands. They are still the powerful team in the East District to compete for tickets to the finals.

To put it nicely, the Celtics are on the road to revival. To put it bluntly, they are just starting to rebuild and there is no question of arguing with the champion team.

Even Rivers himself said that if we are planning to be the top spot in the Atlantic Division now, then the Pistons are planning to be the level of the NBA championship, and this gap is not a little bit.

This is not a self-deprecating thing, it is just a reflection of the real situation. You can only admit the difference between the two.

Without Pierce, Ratliff, and God-being, Rivers looked at the five animals that were already ready to play on the Pistons, and he could only try it out with all his might.

"The worst result is two consecutive losses, but we still maintain a winning rate of 50%, which is actually not bad," Rivers told Thibodeau when arranging the start.

"You can never get around some games and can only bite the bullet and go on. Unfortunately, we have a different lineup, and it is a bit difficult to take away a victory from here."

Thibodeau was never used to being timid before fighting, so when he said this, he glanced at the Pistons' strong lineup, and then compared it with himself, the Celtics were indeed at a disadvantage.

"Let's watch it. The only thing I'm glad we met was the Pistons, not the Suns, which often play the big game. Even if they lose, they will lose too badly."

Rivers can only comfort himself now. At this time, it is indeed much luckier to meet a team that is mainly defense than to meet a group of offensive madmen.

Even if it is a disadvantage, no one will think about how to give up the game from the beginning, especially with such a tough style as the Celtics, who knows that they are not as good as their opponents, they have to try their best to fight.

Pierce, the team's top scorer, is not there, and even if Szebiak's defense is not good, he has to throw it on the court. But if he meets a madman like Prince who is more powerful than attack, it will definitely be unpleasant.

West's fingers were already ready, and Rivers put him on the starting lineup after thinking about it for a while.

Although Rondo has performed well in recent games, perhaps West's experience can be of some effect when competing with an old man like Billups. Rondo will definitely not be able to compete with the opponent's experience.

Tony Allen also entered the starting lineup, and his role was to entangle Hamilton, a pure pitcher who was used to using running and mid-range shots to solve his opponents. As for whether he could entangle, it would be left to fate.

Jefferson may be the most stable scoring point on the Celtics right now, but when he meets a tough guy like Rashid Wallace, there will probably be a tough confrontation.

As for what Perkins has to deal with, it is probably the easiest thing. Mohammed's scoring ability is not very strong among the big guys. As long as Perkins can withstand him, everything will be fine.

The 5v5 confrontation, whether from personal ability or overall combination, is a disadvantage of the Celtics, not to mention that it is still playing in the Pistons' territory.

The noisy environment around is enough to make people feel upset. If it weren't for the jokes like Chen Feng, maybe the Celtics would be boring before the game started.

However, no matter who comes to Auburn Mountain Palace to play away, he will probably be worried. After all, the fighting atmosphere here is so strong that it is suffocating, and the insults and provocations around him will fill the entire game.

Just like when Rivers entered the field, he saw a few bold guys gesture at the exit to indicate the sign of Wei, Rivers, who was doughy, had no choice but to ignore it.

Because if you want to fight back, the middle fingers waiting for you will definitely be a swinging group, at least more than 10,000. That scene will probably be included in the news reports that night.

Rivers doesn't want to try this feeling, and in Auburn Mountain you have to endure all the noise.

After sitting on the bench, Chen Feng was a little eager to try, but Rivers thought about it and still didn't throw this kid into the starting list.

In addition to the fact that Jefferson's position cannot be easily shaken, Rivers' most feared is that this kid should not cause anything in Auburn Mountain.

This is not New York. If this kid continues to provoke the audience, maybe there will be a few tough guys rushing down to play with him. It will not be solved by a ban and a fine.

At that time, the ban for a season may be light. In order not to have such an accident, Rivers still temporarily plans to hold the kid on the bench and continue to watch the factory girls.

Even if Chen Feng had a depressed expression on his face at this moment, Rivers thought he hadn't seen it. For the sake of the team and his own safety, this kid should have a temporary rest.

Otherwise, if there is an accident and faces a group attack of more than 10,000 people, Rivers will obviously feel that he can't stand it. He really has to consider whether he has a life or leaves Auburn Mountain.

Blue-collar workers often don’t make sense to you, their reason is to have a big fist.

And that wild boy Chen Feng also seems to believe in this principle, so it is not a bad thing to let him take a break for the time being.

Although Rivers has racked his brains to arrange his starting lineup, and he has basically sent all those who can still play, the gap is the gap, not what you can fight just by trying.

It's nothing to do with courage, it's just a disadvantage in strength and will definitely be shown in the game.

There is nothing to be able to take advantage of when fighting a team like the Pistons. It is not impossible to win by luck, but the chance is small.

The Pistons also used the most practical point difference to tell Rivers the truth. Less than five minutes into the game, the score on the field was already a little one-sided.

The cheers erupted in the Auburn Mountain Palace Stadium had drowned out the music played by DJ on the spot. Even when it was paused, the blue-collar workers were not idle. They kept beating their chests and roaring.

Even those factory girls were very tough. The small buckets were shaking their little fat, and the upper circumference trembled a little, which made Chen Feng feel a little nauseous.

This is really too greasy. Chen Feng really admires those tough guys who can still whistle at these girls.

But there is one advantage, that is, Chen Feng finally didn't have to concentrate on looking at the girl. He just sat on the bench on the sidelines, and was still surrounded by the ten-year-old water dispenser guard Scala Brian. After the game started, Chen Feng's eyes were always paying attention to the situation on the field, and he seemed to be so focused.

If New York and Hornets have some emphasis on offenses, Marbury or Paul are their main offensive points, then the Pistons basically have no main offensive players in the first five minutes.

18:8, even if Rivers called for a timeout, the score difference was still in double digits, but only Hamilton scored six points in the starting five-man team of the Pistons.

But everyone took action, even Mohamed scored a goal, Wallace scored four points, Billups threw a three-pointer, and Prince also got a three-pointer.

On the other hand, Jefferson made a mid-range shot with four free throws on the Celtics, and the other goal was a mid-range shot that Szebiak suddenly threw out while crossing the three-point line.

"Gap, this is the gap." Rivers walked back and forth several laps on the sidelines. It was not that he had not told the players that the opponent's tactical style, but this kind of warning would not help much.

With a dispersed offensive point, you can't catch who will take action on the Pistons. Even if West desperately pesters Billups to prevent him from dribbling, the rest of the Pistons can still take over the organization.

What's more, these guys' running positions and pick-and-roll are not only frequent, but also extremely skilled, as if they already have graphics in their minds, and almost everyone will not have any pauses after receiving the ball.

Just like the two three-pointers of Billups and Prince, they were suddenly pulled out of the inside line, and then one blocked the person, and the other seized the opportunity and took a lightning shot.

As for Hamilton's animal, he rarely takes the initiative to hold the ball, just runs all the way.

Then when Tony Allen was as tired as a dog, he sucked the ball and shot it.

"I'll go! This shameless shooting method, damn, is this dog walking? This guy is from a long-distance running!" When Chen Feng saw Hamilton's animal-like running position, he was also shocked.

According to this running method, this guy played a game and was almost like running a marathon.

But Hamilton is accurate, and you can't help it. Unless you foul, you really can't stop him.

Moreover, the Pistons have long been familiar with how to cover Hamilton. It is not that easy to catch him. Even if you want to foul, you may not be able to get him.

"Have these guys read the quotations of ***? This guerrilla warfare is also very easy. With so many crazy fans, this Auburn Mountain is just like the best sea of ​​the People's War!" Seeing the score on the field continue to widen, Chen Feng frowned.

The Pistons are like a well-organized army, using the most stable way of playing to cut the courage of the Celtics. Pulling the score is not the goal, they just want to promote their strength in this way.

Rivers also understood this. If they continued to play like this, they might not have to endure the fourth quarter. The game might enter garbage time early, and it would be almost impossible for them to see a chance to turn the tables.

Unless someone can break the opponent's balance or find a fierce enough offensive firepower for the team.

Otherwise, if you drag on like this, you will have to wait to die. Rivers is also hesitating at this moment, how to activate the team's firepower.

Even if you are not as capable as the other party, you cannot bow your head and admit defeat. Even if you lose, you have to leave here like a man with your head held high, instead of getting out in shame in the boo!

Change, Rivers looked at the bench, maybe there would be a key he was looking for.
