Forward to the basket

The Pistons were at home for a while, and the person under the most pressure was probably Sanders. After Larry Brown led the team to win the championship, he took over the Pistons. This in itself is a very dangerous challenge.

If you look at Sanders' results alone, although this guy is not outstanding, he has done a good job.

In the two All-Star games in 04 and 06, this guy can be called the leading coach of the West and East respectively, which in itself shows that he has a certain coaching ability. At least in terms of record, he can meet the requirements of many people.

And in 06, he won the honor of the best coach of the month in the Eastern Conference twice. No matter how you say it, he is considered a strong faction. Although he is not as sophisticated as Larry Brown, the results he can achieve are reasonable.

When this guy was brought into Detroit to take over Larry Brown's team, it didn't cause much disturbance, and he also led the team to a good regular season record in last season's games.

It's just that in the Eastern Conference finals, they were defeated by Wade and O'Neal, who were fierce at the time, and failed to make it to the finals, but the process of the game was not too bad, and the Heat would feel lucky after winning.

Generally speaking, after Sanders took over the Pistons, he was more than defensive but not aggressive enough, but the Detroit media has never criticized him, even when Ben Wallace left the team, the Detroit press did not. Put all the problems on the team and the coach, but many people can see that the Pistons are gradually declining.

Age, player status, salary structure, many problems are piled up, and there will be such and such problems. The departure of "Big Ben" is just the beginning.

No matter what kind of team, there is no guarantee that it will be the overlord forever. The Celtics have been silent for a long time after their glory. Therefore, everyone knows that the Pistons will fall from the peak after all, and they can't admit it if they don't want to.

It's just that Detroit fans still hope that Sanders can improve the team's performance a little while the Pistons have not completely disintegrated and the championship team still exists, and it is best to reach the finals again.

But compared with Larry Brown, an old guy who dared to offend Iverson when he became tough, Sanders has been criticized by many people since he coached the Timberwolves. His coaching style is soft.

Especially when shaping the team's style, he pays more attention to scoring. As for what kind of temperament to instill in the team, this guy may rarely take the initiative to do anything, and it is more up to the players to decide.

Minnesota has Wolf King Garnett, so that kind of soft style is not obvious, at least there is a leader who screams. Regarding the coach's personality, there are not many exposed, or even ignored.

After the Pistons, the defense of the team itself is very tough. The part that Sanders needs to improve the team can only be offensive. The defensive system laid down by Larry Brown cannot be easily dismantled.

This guy was once considered a success, with 64 wins in the regular season and the playoff results of reaching the Eastern Conference finals. In his first year of coaching, he can be regarded as an acceptable answer.

But this season's record has declined significantly, especially in the regular season, with only 53 wins and 29 losses. In the competition in the central division, they lost consecutively to the Bulls, Cavaliers, and Pacers, and their division results were only 9 wins and 18 losses.

This is already enough to make Detroit fans feel dissatisfied. They lost 11 more games than last season, and the most obvious thing is the winning percentage at home. They lose all at home.

There were no ups and downs in the away game results, but at home they were beaten by opponents one after another. In this competitive state, Detroit fans must not be able to bear it. If it hadn’t been for the sweep of the Magic in the first round, it is estimated that this dissatisfaction would have erupted long ago, but After all, the volcano will erupt once, and the loss to the Celtics is a flashpoint.

Verbal criticism, if language can evolve into a substantive attack, then Sanders must be pierced by a thousand arrows at this moment. For the first time, this guy feels that life in Detroit is so difficult.

There is a successful predecessor there as a benchmark. No matter what you do, you will compare it with others. This is not something you can reject if you want to or not, but actually exists in people's thinking.

"What we want is not a four-faced Pistons! We are not Phoenix, we are not Dallas! We are not a run-and-gun team! Give us back that championship team!"

In the two days after the Pistons lost the game, such voices became higher and higher. Even the fans were clamoring for Sanders to get out and let his soft-hearted style disappear in Detroit.

If Sanders is like Pat Riley, he may have a way of dealing with crisis public relations, that eloquent "magic fortune teller", even if he is at a disadvantage, he can turn the crisis into safety.

This season, the Heat were eliminated as the defending champions. Riley also had to face a lot of pressure, but this guy can always find a way to excuse himself when facing media questions.

This is the advantage of the old Jianghu, even if the situation is unfavorable, he can still find a chance to pick it out for himself.

Although there were a lot of Miami fans swearing, there were not many who shouted for Riley to leave.

And that old guy also has a lot of methods of retreating to make progress. At worst, he won't be the head coach, but the team manager is still him. It's not easy to find a hapless ghost to succeed him?Just holding one can block bullets for him.

Anyway, he has already won the championship, and Riley's success and retirement can be regarded as what he wished. Moreover, in the matter of trading veterans and taking responsibility, someone still needs to come and take the responsibility, so that old fritters will not become the target of public criticism.

It is estimated that the old guy has such life-saving skills. If he slips away at a critical moment, ordinary people really can't catch him.

However, this kind of skill is not something everyone can master, and it is not that simple to find a successor who can pull hatred.

Pat Riley is like this, and Phil Jackson is the same. I only heard that there is a stalemate between the Lakers management and Kobe, but I have never heard of the "Zen Master" being awkward.

But Sanders was a bit bored by nature. He was dismissed from the Timberwolves because of communication problems with the media and the team's performance began to decline, so he was forced to leave Minnesota.

This time was the same, Sanders didn't say anything after the game, and the media thought that this guy had acquiesced!

Although the management of the Pistons still supports the head coach's achievements in the past two seasons, the fans' defection is definitely a sharp sword, which can hurt many things, such as Sanders' confidence.

If we simply talk about the results of the regular season, Sanders has done a good job. He has been able to bring the Pistons to the position of the leader of the Eastern Conference in the regular season for two consecutive seasons.

But it is a rule for the team to fall from the peak. This does not mean that you can change this state just by on-the-spot command or motivation. After all, if you play one more season, the age and injuries of players will continue to accumulate.

If the Pistons don't change their blood, they will continue to rely on this lineup. Sooner or later, the situation will fall apart. The fans don't consider these issues, but Sanders can only support himself now.

But it is undeniable that in the second round of the Eastern Conference, the home court advantage was lost first, which must be a very passive situation. All Sanders can think about now is how to keep the second game and then win it back in Boston.

Reaching the Eastern Conference finals in the first year, if this season can't even pass the second round, Sanders knows how bad his situation will be. Firing coaches has never been news in the NBA world.

Sanders can take Larry Brown's place, but he also has to deal with a precarious situation, maybe tomorrow, maybe next week, and no one can guarantee anything for a hapless guy.

Anyway, there are precedents of "Little General" Johnson and Van Gundy Jr., and Sanders can also smell the small storm brewing by the management to find a scapegoat. If he really doesn't play well, he must be the first to be taken down.

"That guy Doug is really lucky." Communication with the media was a problem, but when Sanders discussed the tactical arrangements for the game with his coaching team, he talked about Rivers enviously.

There is no performance requirement, and you can take the Celtics to attack any opponent. If you can change it, Sanders really doesn't mind going to Boston to test the waters, rather than suffering here.

"He can only enjoy this season. During the summer transfer period, they will definitely make big moves. Next season, he will also be under a lot of pressure. After the dormancy, Boston is always looking forward to a big explosion."

Although Sanders' assistant coach is also envious of Rivers, who is under no pressure at the moment, he knows better that the hands-off training this season means that the Bostonians are accumulating energy for a wild return.

Give Rivers a season, if there is any decline in his performance next season, then needless to say, the pressure will be crushed by that fat guy.

NBA coaches are like this. The danger of being fired will always surround you. There are not many who can be as indifferent as a "Zen Master". First of all, you must have a perfect report card.

What Sanders lacks now is enough playoff results, especially this season, if he wants to satisfy the wishes of the management and fans, killing the Celtics and approaching the Eastern Conference finals is only the first step.

"Forget it, don't think about the opponent's fate next season. The problem we have to solve is how to keep the next home court advantage. If the Celtics leave with a score of 2:0, I can guarantee that everyone here They're going to be a thorn in the side of Pistons fans, and those guys are going to tear our cars apart."

Although Sanders said these things in a joking tone, the coaching staff knew very well that this was definitely not a joke. If they lost another game, they really wouldn't have to hang out in Detroit.

Most of the fans of the Pistons are burly guys. If you let those blue-collar workers get angry, you can imagine your fate. Sanders' coaching performance is bound to become the main reason for these guys to vent their anger.

The last time the Palace of Auburn Hills hit the headlines was a gang fight. No one wants to see this scene repeated this time. If it is a fan beating a coach, it will be even more lively.

"Well, guys, we haven't been eliminated yet, so we still have a chance, but we have to solve some problems, such as the number 99 of the Celtics. If we can't deal with him, we will all be in trouble."

Sanders interrupted the shuddering fantasies of his coaching staff, and turned the group's attention back to analyzing the game, and Chen Feng's score clips were the most important.

A rookie, a rookie of the season, a beast who can break through the Pistons' interior defense, because of the existence of such a guy, many of Sanders' tactical adjustments have been invisible.

Especially in the rotation of insiders, although Chen Feng committed a lot of fouls, his lethality still brought a lot of trouble to the Pistons. Davis, Wallace, and McDyess who played later, everyone All the guys have suffered, and when it comes to critical moments, you always don't know how this kid will deal with the offense.

This is definitely the question that makes Sanders scratch his head the most. If it is really about comprehensive quality, Rasheed Wallace can have the upper hand in terms of experience and comprehensiveness.

But that little bastard at number 99 doesn't play with you at all, he just beat himself up.

The opponents around you can do whatever they like, he doesn't think about that, and what makes Sanders most helpless is that Chen Feng's offensive methods are not formal at all.

Even though Chen Feng has been training under Tarkanian and Thibodeau for almost a season, but the things he has practiced with Hammond on the streets have almost become a habitual reaction.

Just like when encountering Wallace's defense, Chen Feng's mid-range shots may not be that accurate, but his on-the-spot adaptability and small tricks can always emerge endlessly to cause you trouble.

"It's not considered a top-notch height, and he has strong muscles, but the most troublesome thing about him is probably his control over his body, and the ability to adjust his hand shape before he makes a shot."

The assistant in charge of game analysis seemed a little helpless by the side, because if you look at Chen Feng's offense carefully, you will find that there are some opportunities, and the timing of his shots may not be good, but that guy is always pushing the basketball out. Adjustments have been made before, the shaking of the wrist, and the feeling of the fingertips are excellent.

This is a natural feeling, you can't envy it, and there's nothing you can do about it. Even if Rasheed Wallace bumps into such an opponent, he can only express that he is annoyed, but he can't stop it.

No way, have you ever seen a guy who is almost [-] meters in front of you not playing back-to-back punching, but playing throwing shots while running like a guard?And it's not the only time he did it!

Rasheed Wallace was sent off because the anger was always in his chest, which made this guy really depressed. He blocked the angle several times, but that guy just made unconventional and weird shots .

There are still three or four meters between the basket and you start picking the basket, throwing shots while running, and three-step layups can pull you out of the sky. Wallace really wanted to ask this kid, your sister, you Is it to show off your abs?

But this is unstoppable, and Chen Feng's touch is completely practiced on the street. Back then, Hammond dared to compete with Dr. J's scoring madness, and he didn't even have to worry about his offensive ability.

After all, Chen Feng was taught by him personally. Although it is not a position, the feel is not bad. If the main scoring ability is not effective, no one will take you to play in the street.

Moreover, the confrontation and petty moves on the streets are far more intense than those in the NBA, especially in those places where gang members gather together. If you want to block you, you just have to wrestle and wrestle. Chen Feng's coordination ability is all played out in this way.

This kid was able to level the street basketball court in the southwestern part of Texas, relying on this attack.

Unruly offense, unscrupulous impact, Chen Feng's existence is to give Sanders an invisible pressure, if not for this kid's wanton destruction inside, maybe the Pistons will not lose in the end.

At least Sanders knew very well that without Chen Feng, he would not have hesitated to change his tactics. It was that fierce bald boy who disrupted his arrangements and disrupted the rhythm of the Pistons.

His existence is a deadly threat to the Pistons, which is undeniable, although the kid's mouth and actions are strongly provocative.

But Saunders dare say that no one would not like to have such a player under his command, he can do miracles for you, just like the first game, without him, the Celtics would not be so Sturdy.

If one person can affect a team, Sanders will believe that Chen Feng's appearance is the main driving force for the Celtics, and he can provide too much destructive power.

And you really don't know what earth-shattering thing this kid will do in the next second. This kind of attribute that can explode at any time is really terrifying.

Wallace and Davis are already the strongest force that Sanders can mobilize. If these two guys can't block the inside line, then don't expect McDyess, who is one size smaller, to create any miracles.

"A rookie is not without weaknesses. Find out, and then... enlarge it. If you want to win, you must start by destroying their strongest point. Only by destroying the hidden danger inside can we counterattack successfully."

Sanders patted Chen Feng's name heavily, as if he had found a breakthrough point, and gave orders to all the coaching staff.

If before the first game, Chen Feng was defined as a threatening offensive focus by Sanders, then at this moment, his threatening nature has already surpassed Pierce and Jefferson.

At least in Sanders' mind, the danger of that bald boy No. 99 has reached a peak.

If you don't want to experience the tragic reality of being killed again, then find a way to stop that tough bald head from continuing to wreak havoc, otherwise, the bitter days of the Pistons are still to come.

After the Celtics knocked out a home court advantage for the Pistons, the leader of the Eastern Conference is also in action...
