Just looking at the content of the game, there is nothing surprising about the Celtics' performance.

The stalemate with the Pistons was entirely due to a ruthless force. The whole team fought hard, and no matter who came on the court, they would give their all. This is the reason why they could still keep the lead in the score at the end of the first quarter.

31 to 27

The Celtics lead by 4 points.

Duncan played for ten minutes in the first quarter, and then took two minutes to rest and continued in the second quarter.

On the Pistons side, Westfar sat firmly on the Diaoyutai. Although the Celtics fought fiercely and fiercely, he was not confused. He was not in a hurry at all when he was about to rotate.

There are four main players and one substitute on the Celtics. On the Pistons, there is only Alan Houston on the field, and the other four are Dumas, Davis, Williams and Pollard.

Even if there were four rotations, the pistons did not show any obvious weakness in combat power.

For example, in this round, Dumas faced Dana Barros, the only substitute on the Pistons, and swung faster and passed this opponent with no speed and no body.

You should know that although Dumas is only 191 cm tall, in his early years, he had to gain weight to 86 kilograms in order to cooperate with the Smiling Assassin to play No. 2 position. In his later years, he transformed into No. 1 position. Although his weight has decreased, recently due to Mo Mengchen's rise, his role in the team has been repeatedly weakened, and his weight once exceeded 95 kilograms last season.

This season is his final season, and the team traded Bobby Jackson and Momonchen had no substitute.

No matter what considerations are, the team needs Dumas to maintain good form. Therefore, after hard training during the suspension season, he lost his weight to 89 kilograms, and was in extremely good condition. This season, as a substitute for Mo Mengchen, averaging 10 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists per game.

He is 6 cm shorter than Momonchen, but heavier 4 kilograms. He is really just crushing against a petite defender like Barros.

If it weren't for Duncan's savior appearance, Barros' defense this round would have been broken.

Duncan's assisted defense is indeed a great opportunity to fill the position. It can make people feel endless pressure when they go to that stop without moving. Dumas was in a dilemma and passed the ball to Ricky Davis who cut in.

Davis still has to face Duncan. The thing that he has more advantages than Dumas is that he is young and strong and has a beastly physical fitness.

"Danger!"

Dumas jumped up, looking like he was about to buckle Duncan.

"I'm thinking too much," Mo Mengchen said.

Fortunately, Davis didn't have to dunk Duncan. He had already calculated it in his mind. If it really didn't work, he would hand the ball to Duncan.

Williams got the ball and scored into this complex penalty area with multiple cooperation.

Duncan defended one and three, but eventually failed.

29 to 31

This is the first attack in the second quarter.

"Ricky Davis not only has an extraordinary impact, but also has a selfless heart."

"Yes, I've watched this kid's college game. At that time, he didn't know how to play correctly. He didn't expect that he had just one season to grow up like this."

“He achieved a change from self to team.”

The same words were used to praise Duncan without any sense of incongruity. If Mo Mengchen hadn't really seen Davis' changes, he would have thought that these commentators were stupid. How could he praise the idiot who shot at his own basket in order to win a triple-double?

Mo Mengchen needs to remind himself repeatedly: That was the matter of his previous life.

Not to mention Davis, Mo Mengchen has many differences compared to himself in his previous life - for example, he no longer resists shaking hands with others - the environment can create people.

"He can attack with the ball, and he also has explosive physical fitness. He can pass the ball when he encounters difficulties. I really don't know how he fell to the 18th pick."

Hill is very grateful for the team's pick at the 18th pick.

His ability to sit on the bench this season in the first and second quarters is closely related to Davis' joining.

Davis's ex Don Reed is a good backup, but his potential and plasticity are far worse than Davis.

"Speaking of all, the Pistons' 18th pick is really a tradition." Barkley smiled, "JD is the 18th pick, Mo is the 18th pick, and this guy is the 18th pick."

Mo Mengchen said he could not accept it: "Chuck, do you compare him with me?"

"This is only his first season. You have to put your heart in it, Mo, that's not bad." Barkley said.

Mo Mengchen snorted: "It's far from it."

At this time, Duncan, as the only superstar on the field, his dominance was also shown in the inside.

Williams, who faced him, relied on his ruthlessness and enthusiasm to compete. These positive qualities are not worth mentioning in the face of the gap in talent and huge strength.

Davis noticed that Duncan's offense was very smooth and decided to go to double-team without authorization.

Where could he avoid Duncan's eyes with his actions? As soon as the defense was in place and the double-teaming was not yet ready, Shi Fo passed the ball to the outside line.

The Celtics stunned Davis with a three-pointer.

34 to 29

Williams shouted dissatisfiedly: "Rookie, look forward to your own people!"

"But..."

"No, but! I can handle it!" Williams said angrily.

Dumas was like this and wanted to rely on his body to fight Barros.

In this round, Barros seemed to be desperate and survived to fight Dumas.

In Dumas's opinion, his actions were undoubtedly a moth to the fire. No matter how hard he tried, the weight difference of 30 pounds was all in this way.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Dumas exerts his strength, Barros will definitely be knocked over on the spot.

This seemingly reckless operation also made Dumas unable to help but beat him up. He knew that doing so could defeat his opponent's fighting spirit.

Although he is not as oppressive as Mo Mengchen, if he has the chance to defeat his opponent, he will definitely not miss it.

Dumas hit hard.

"wrong."

Mo Mengchen off the field noticed his opponent's position, and Barros was simply a bait.

Dumas rushed into the inside to make a layup, Duncan appeared as scheduled, giving him a ruthless big hat.

Duncan immediately took off the basketball that failed to touch the basket and threw the ball to Anthony Walker who was conducting a counterattack fast attack like a cannonball.

Walker chased to the frontcourt and dunked with both hands.

He pulled the basket on purpose.

The audience was crazy with excitement.

“fuck    det!”

“fuck    det!!”

Duncan also gently stroked Barros' head in the backcourt to show encouragement. If Barros had not lured Dumas into attacking regardless of his own comfort, his defense would not have been so smooth, and Walker's counterattack would not have been able to start.

On-field score: 36 to 29.

The Celtics fought fiercely and were very smart. Duncan was the core of offense and defense, and Walker was his greatest help. Although others were not talented and had average combat power, they were willing to serve as death.

Westfal turned and walked towards the technical desk and requested a pause.

He asked for a pause after 7 points, which was not his style.

Anyone who knows him knows that unless the players on the field are powerless, Westfal will not interrupt their rhythm.

He is used to letting players play freely.

"Lewis, you replace Jerome," Westfal said. "From now on, we're going to play V-shaped attacks, Lewis, I need you to stand in the bottom corner, as long as they let you empty, you're going to throw the ball in."

"Mo. You replace jd."

Less than three minutes later in the second quarter, Westfal made fine adjustments to the lineup.

It is surprising to change to Lewis. Generally speaking, it is a more reasonable operation to change to Rashid. Isn’t it equivalent to begging Duncan to get the inside of the Pistons?

The inside combination of Lewis and Miller has great advantages and disadvantages.

The big advantage is that both of them can shoot outside the three-point line, and the Pistons can completely set up a formation where all five people stand outside the three-point line. In order to prevent them from shooting three-pointers, it is impossible for the Celtics to stand on the inside, so there will be a large empty area in their inside.

At the same time, the defense of these two people is average and the coordination is powerless.

On the other hand, for the Celtics, because of the existence of these two people, the Pistons' no-fly zone has become a powerful zone - both of them are flying with great strength!

Miller sent the ball to Momonchen.

In the frontcourt, Barros looked nervous.

He would not feel like this when facing others. In the previous two games, Mo Mengchen left a shadow on him.

"Don't be afraid," Mo Mengchen dribbled with his left hand and smiled faintly, "I have no idea about you now."

Maybe this is the most terrifying thing.

Barros didn't know what to do, and Miller's pick-and-roll was in place.

Mo Mengchen asked for his pick-and-roll, and Barros inevitably hit the wall. Then, he could only watch Mo Mengchen pull out the ball in one step within the three-point line.

A long two-pointer shot looks unreasonable.

Except for those swingers who fly and escape, few players will choose to shoot here.

"Swish!"
