Forward to the basket

The series of battles in the playoffs are still going on, but those peak moments have nothing to do with the Celtics. Losing to the Pistons in the second round means that this season's game is completely over.

Regardless of how those Celtics supporters complain about the damn injury, come sooner or later, and insist on bothering Boston before the tiebreaker begins, anyway, this group of animals can only wait for the holidays to start.

Even if they were unconvinced by the defeat, they had to accept the result that could not be changed for a long time, and they had to stand up straight when they were beaten.

Losing to the leader of the Eastern Conference was not a shameful thing, and it forced the opponent into a corner and gave them a hard beating. Although they lost in the end, the Detroit fans felt their livers tremble a little when they saw these guys.

Even the Pistons won against the Celtics in the end, but when these Bostonians left the field, the surrounding boos and taunts almost disappeared, and the sturdy blue-collar workers also subconsciously shut their mouths.

It's not that these guys have learned to be well-behaved, but that they should know how to respect when facing such a fierce opponent.

The game was lost, but when those ruthless Boston bandits left Detroit, they took away a fierce and vicious wind. Pistons fans are praying that they will not run into these animals next season.

Otherwise, you really don't know what kind of method they will use to get revenge. Detroit's Auburn went to the palace, but he couldn't bear the toss of these guys. This time, it was enough to make people feel chilling.

Even Sanders was a little relieved after the game, he didn't even think about where his future would be, but for this round of confrontation, he can win this round of confrontation, which is simply God's favor.

When the game went to the sixth game, seeing his opponent come back again, Sanders felt so desperate that he wanted to commit suicide. He really didn't know if he still had the courage to stand on the sidelines and command the next decisive battle.

The footsteps of Suo Xing's gang of Boston animals stopped, and the final winner was the Pistons. Sanders could still continue to lead the team in the Eastern Conference finals as the head coach of the Pistons.

But what makes Detroit Pistons supporters sad and melancholy is that they finally crossed the hell gate of the Celtics. As a result, they couldn't continue to appear in the Eastern Conference Finals with three starters.

Rasheed Wallace will have at least three to four weeks of truce, and this is a conservative estimate. Originally, this old guy has been feeling physically exhausted since he was entangled in six confrontations with Chen Feng.

It turned out that this injury was completely caused by fatigue. If a 30+ old guy wants to play with an injury, unless he is crazy, the Pistons team doctor will not take this risk.

And Rasheed Wallace didn't dream of that, and "Roaring God" has to get old now.

Anyway, Rashid has already said goodbye to the playoffs in advance, and Davis' injury is also very sad. Without such a blue-collar coolie who can do dirty work, the defense at the basket will definitely be affected .

In particular, the absence of Davis basically declared that the Pistons' rebounding was out of control. Without these two high points to support the basket, the defensive strength of the Pistons would almost certainly drop to a notch.

Even if there are Prince and Billups on the periphery, there is a famous saying on the basketball court, "I can teach you everything except height." In the battle for the basket, you have no height. Even if you have nothing, even if you are the second generation of Iverson, it is useless, that one-third of an acre of land is the world of big guys.

Compared with the absence of these two, Hamilton's move to hang up the exemption card made the supporters of the Pistons even more worried. They all said that they knew that Detroit's defense was strong, but on offense, there were not many scoring methods to rely on.

Billups' passing, Hamilton's air-cut running, plus Rashid's shooting at the basket and in the middle and long distances, occasionally Prince can dunk two, and McDyess can have a shot. CIC.

In addition to these, the Pistons can rely on not many scoring methods. At least among the Eastern Conference powerhouses, they rely on tough defense and the cooperation of two guards, mainly Hamilton's shooting.

Suddenly there is one less scorer who can contribute 20+ per game. This gap cannot be filled by a few more bench players. What's more, the Pistons have never had many good offensive players, let alone mass production.

When the news of Hamilton's truce for at least three months came, Sanders' first action was to slap himself on the forehead. It is estimated that this guy would rather have his leg broken than hear the bad news.

But the fact is right in front of the Pistons, you really can't bear it, anyway, Hamilton is on hiatus.

As a result, they desperately killed the Celtics in the seventh game, but looking back, well, the defensive framework inside was basically abolished, and they also lost one of the most stable scoring points by the way.

Over there, the Celtics went on vacation with the feeling of being defeated. The Pistons have to bring a group of old and weak soldiers to continue to fight against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Even they themselves are not optimistic about the ending. stand up.

Some fans of the Pistons even made pessimistic predictions on the forum message boards before the start of the Eastern Conference finals. As long as the team is not swept out, it is considered a victory, and it is already considered luck to reach the finals.

There are also those who refute this voice, but it is obviously not as strong as usual. It can be seen that these guys also understand that even the old-fashioned Pistons have exhausted all their energy to kill the tough Celtics.

If you still expect this group of tired old guys to move on, it is really a wishful thinking that has not woken up.

Now Mike Brown must be happy in his heart. He thought that if he stumbles into the Eastern Conference Finals and meets the Pistons or Celtics, the Cavaliers' chances of winning may be really limited.

At least Mike Brown will not naively think that he can lead the team to easily defeat the Pistons, or the Celtics who have embarrassed the Cavaliers this season. None of these two opponents is a fuel-efficient lamp.

But looking at the current state, the Celtics, a dark horse, failed to break through the interception of the Pistons, but the Pistons, who had worked so hard, paid a heavy price for this, losing half of their main lineup.

Mike Brown is not qualified to comment on the ability of that guy Sanders, but now facing such an incomplete Pistons, if the Cavaliers still can't break through, then he should really suspend himself to thank the world, even Cleveland's The media even swears that they will definitely reach the finals this time!

"If you still can't get in, then it can only be said that the little emperor's imperial army is really weak." Murphy pursed his lips and envied the good luck of his colleagues in Cleveland, while viciously praying that the Cavaliers would capsize in the ditch.

If there hadn't been a fight between the Celtics and the Pistons, maybe the Cavaliers would not have had such a chance to pick up the leak. It would be like walking around Panjiayuan and suddenly finding a blue and white official kiln porcelain from Yuan Dynasty.

How lucky it is to meet this opportunity that makes people laugh. In contrast, the Spurs and Jazz over there have to fight to the end. Six or seven games.

Although the Spurs are stronger as a whole, the Jazz team trained by old Sloan is not so easy to deal with. I dare not say that they can overthrow the Spurs, but at least he can make **Vich rack his brains.

The fight between the old guys will be filled with the wisdom of fighting in the playoffs for many years. Rivers and Thibodeau did not choose to take a vacation, but went to the west for a walk. It is estimated that they are learning on the spot to enrich themselves.

After the tempering of this season, and with Auerbach's advice from the side, Rivers is not the kind of depraved person who enjoys life with an annual salary of 500 million as the outside world says. He has far more plans than he has now.

Now that they can make it to the second round of the Eastern Conference, can't they hope to go one step further?And over there, the action that Angie has been planning for half a season has started quietly, and Rivers is also a little bit eager to move.

It's okay to watch the battle of wits between two old fritters, which is more helpful than watching beautiful women in swimsuits on the beach. Rivers is not a young man in his twenties, compared with a girl with outstanding measurements , it is obvious that the attraction of the championship is stronger, so why not take advantage of these old guys?

As for Thibodeau, who has always been rigorous, he is more likely to mix a little bit of his own experience from the rigorous style of Vivić and Sloan. As the former defensive coach of the Rockets, he now has more to bear.

The Celtics' offensive firepower this season is indeed strong enough, and they can reach the top five in the league in offensive efficiency. This is not a little bit fierce. Many commentators have said that their offense is extremely fierce.

But on the other hand, the defense of these guys is obviously going to drop a level. In terms of defensive efficiency, they can barely be regarded as the middle reaches of the league, which puts a lot of pressure on Thibodeau.

Anyway, when this guy was in the Rockets, he also allowed the team to limit the opponent's scoring to rank in the top five in the league for three or four consecutive years.

If a team's offense is gorgeous enough, and then the defense is a little stronger, is there any flaw?It is said that the playoffs rely on defense, and if you come back next time, you can't continue to attack like this to the end.

Looking at how the Suns were knocked out by the Spurs, you can understand that in the playoffs, defense is the main theme. If Thibodeau wants to build a defensive system that belongs to the Celtics, he must prepare early.

It's okay to go and see **vic and Sloan, two old fritters who rely on overall tactics to make a living. No matter how you say it, there will be some gains. The season is not over yet, and some people's preparations have already started.

As busy as Thibodeau and Rivers, Angie is probably the only one left. The team can fight the Pistons in the second round for seven games before losing. For Angie, he is the fate of the non-staff behind the scenes. .

No one would praise him, at most some people would say that this guy is very lucky to be able to pick Chen Feng and Rondo in the draft, two vigorous figures who can be used to make a difference.

But more people are still looking at the players and the coaches, and those who can think about the team manager for nothing, maybe apart from the fans who want to scold the street, there are only those competitors in the same industry.

Angie did not expect to be as domineering as Auerbach in the position of team manager, but he always has a little pursuit of his own. If he can get the best manager award, he will not refuse it.

In any case, this is where he became famous in the NBA, so that the team can leave its own mark, and Angie will naturally spare no effort to recruit people. Webber and Sprewell are also inseparable from him. <, I guess no one would have guessed that the fans and management of the 76ers now, watching Webber's performance in the playoffs, wonder if they have regretted it.

And those team managers who waited to see the joke after the Celtics signed Sprewell are also embarrassed now. Angie is obviously spending a small amount of money to do big things.

In addition, after the end of the season, the two old guys made it clear that the contract with the team can continue next season, especially Sprewell, who is fully confident to play for another two years.

Webber was even more talkative. The progress of the team made him feel that coming to Boston was the right thing to do. It might even allow him to touch the championship for the first time. How could he choose to leave at this time.

Angie can't give these veterans a high salary, but the temptation of a championship is enough to make these old guys willing to stay with a basic salary. When he is about to retire, honor may be more important than money.

Otherwise, Payton and the others wouldn't be wandering around looking for someone to hold their thighs. Anyway, he was also the boss of the Supersonics back then, but at the end of his career, he could only be a wandering prodigal.

Sprewell is 36 years old. He has already passed the age when he is fine and can wander around. When Angie could find him, he was able to return to the NBA to prove that he was not old.

Especially to prove to those guys who are trying to laugh at themselves that they want to stay away from the NBA, that old lunatic who dared to strangle the coach's neck has not faltered, and can still make a living in this league!

But after more than half a season of running-in, the sturdy Celtics are just like the original Knicks team. temperament.

This is simply too much for Sprewell's appetite. This old guy is a master who is not afraid of trouble. With such an environment like a fish in water, are you afraid that he will not play with his life?

In the second half of the regular season, on the back line, there was such an old guy who was in charge of defense. Regardless of whether he was old or not, he really dared to play sex at critical moments. Even Chen Feng admired this guy's ruthlessness.

Accompanied by such a partner, Rondo's defensive ferocity has risen by more than one level, and that slickness is obviously much more deceitful than the previous Chunliang.

The help these two old guys can bring to the team is definitely worth Angie's continued sincerity and new contracts to keep them. Of course, the more important thing is the team's results, which can make people see hope.

This time he stumbled in front of the Pistons, and Sprewell had already said that the next time we meet again, this account will sooner or later recover face, and Weber didn't even envy the Pistons to reach the Eastern Conference Finals again.

"Maybe next time, we will stand in that position." For the future, old guys like Webber and Sprewell seem more confident.

I am used to seeing the ups and downs in the NBA, and the mood of these veterans also fluctuates accordingly, but when I am approaching the end of my career, such things as how much money I can make are becoming less and less important.

Angie is not the kind of team manager who is soft-hearted, not to mention that the current personnel structure of the team does not allow him to have any kind thoughts. Anyone who can be kept will try his best to keep it. If it is useless, he will be removed from the team immediately.

Although the summer transfer market has not yet opened, and the new NBA draft is still far away, but for the Celtics, and for Angie, the big steward, there are some things that should be done in advance.

There will definitely be a few big fish swimming into the transfer market this summer. It doesn't require Angie to have any skill, but these news have already spread more or less throughout the league.

The transfer market is bound to be a melee this time, but any team that is a bit pursuing must consider improving the team's combat effectiveness at this time. It is definitely rare to have so many big fish testing the waters.

As long as he is a serious team manager, he will have the idea of ​​​​taking these big fish, but in the end, whoever can succeed depends on their own methods. Angie is also one of these people who are ready to catch fish.

And he may have put the bait earlier than most of them, but the nba transfer is always full of variables, even if you start first, you may not be the final winner.

However, with such a strong performance from the Celtics, Angie can also have more confidence than others when he puts the bait. The potential stocks of the Celtics can always give people some hope for the future.

But those flirtations in the middle of the season can only be carried out quietly now. Before the transfer market opens, no one wants to be cleaned up by the rules of the league.

And after fighting for a season, those big fish in the transfer market have to calm down and think about how to choose their future path. After all, this may be the last big contract for many people.

In addition, those big names who are already close to 30+ have to consider whether they want to find a few teammates who are similar, and get a championship ring as an honor. This will also affect the final choice.

In a summer when big fish are entering the market, and in a year that is not considered a draft year, Angie is busy with things this summer, and he probably won't have time to go to the beach to see the beauties' new bikinis.

With an old monster like Auerbach sitting in Boston, the management and leaders of the Celtics are acting consciously and preparing for next season in their own ways.

For others, the Celtics have been eliminated, and everything this season has nothing to do with them, but for Rivers and the others, this is just a small setback before they come back.

At the beginning, Auerbach was won by Mikan of the Lakers, but in the end it was the old guy who smiled the most.

The current loser will scare everyone when he may come back next season...

A group of guys who plan after the future, with wisdom and ambition...
