Shi Lei finally walked into the locker room, and there were already some people in the locker room at this time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was still early before the start of the game, everyone had not changed their clothes, and they were discussing things of interest to each other, as soon as Shi Lei came in, his new outfit naturally caused another wave of topics.

After a while, the rest of the team walked in one after another, and Rivers followed suit, standing in the middle of the locker room.

As soon as Rivers stopped here, the Celtics players closed their mouths and waited for the head coach's pre-game arrangement.

'Billups is injured and that's good news for us, but guys, we shouldn't let our guard down and think we won today. We've fought against them, and I don't think I need to tell you how difficult they are.

Logically speaking, we have three 'superstars', and there are good enough players in each position, but everyone, don't forget the Los Angeles Lakers, they were more 'expensive' than us, but the Pistons beat them to win the championship.

So, boys, I need you to give it your all today, I need you to win today, use your attack, your defense to tell your opponents that this is where they end! ”

After Rivers' speech, the players agreed one after another and gave Rivers a firm answer, which made Rivers smile with satisfaction.

Time passed slowly, and it was almost game time, and the Celtic players came to the players' tunnel. TD North Shore Gardens has now become the home of the Devils, with fans shouting desperately and cheerleaders on the pitch.

Suddenly, the cheerleading beauties receded like a tide, the Pistons began to appear, and the DJ had a feeble mechanical broadcast the names of the players, and contrary to him, the fans in the stadium booed each of them loudly.

As the last player of the Pistons walked out of the tunnel of the players, all the voices on the court were cut off, even the overhead lights of the court were turned off, and the big screen began to show the wonderful goal shots of the players, and then with these shots, the DJ on the scene was shouting the names of the Celtics players.

Every Celtic player came out on the pitch and was greeted with enthusiastic cheers, which reached their peak when Pierce's name was pronounced at the end.

The swarthy players' tunnel slowly walked out, and cheers were heard all around. The arena is boiling, and after a few years of silence, TD North Shore Gardens are finally coming back to life, and they are finally stepping on the floor of the Eastern Conference Finals once again.

The game started, the main players began to appear, Shi Lei also sat down on the bench, this is a game that needs to be observed by him, with the increase of game experience, the accumulation of court knowledge, the Spurs and the Pistons, in Shi Lei's mind more and more unfathomable.

Garnett in the center circle and Rashid. Wallace scrambles for the ball, facing the old rival who is also the "big four", Garnett once again points the ball to the side of the Celtics, and Rondo runs over to get the basketball.

Today, Rondo's task is heavier than ever, because today he is no longer facing those weak defenders like West and Bibby, but Chauncey. Billups, such a Finals MVP-level point guard.

Although the point guard is injured, it's not something Rondo can take a peek at.

Rondo was pushing fast today, but when he passed the Pistons' half, he found that the Pistons' defense was tightly organized.

Through this defense, Shi Lei discovered the difference between the Pistons and the Spurs, the core of the Spurs' defense is Duncan on the inside and Bowen on the outside, but the Pistons rely more on the whole and pay more attention to physical contact.

Not giving the Celtics players a chance to move freely at all, the players of the two teams quickly blended together, especially on the inside, and now that the game has just begun, Garnett and Rashid on the inside. Wallace wrestled together.

Wallace is not as talented as Garnett, this is not the point, the point is that he is more different from Garnett in terms of attitude, at this time Wallace's body has been a little out of shape, and his body is full of fat.

That's an advantage in some ways, such as the fat on his body in the grappling, which makes Garnett uncomfortable, but Wallace is not so lucky when it comes to fighting for rebounds.

This season could be Ray. Allen's worst season was due to the shrinking data of the "Big Three", as well as the reason for his feel. In the absence of a place to receive the ball from Garnett, Ray Ray. Allen jumps wide from the outside.

Root. After Wallace left, the Pistons' steel interior line weakened a lot, and the Pistons didn't find the right person to continue guarding their interior line. Antonio. McDyce couldn't hold up the sky, and Rashid was a man who played by talent, so Garnett, whose bounce was still at an astonishing level, grabbed the rebound smoothly.

In every team that plays against the Celtics, Garnett is their first defensive target, but Antonio after the injury, and the lazy Rashid moved too slowly, and after the failure to fight for rebounds, before they could gain a foothold, Garnett had already jumped up and put the basketball in the basket.

Shooting is a matter of feel and tactics, Ray. Allen's work ethic is absolutely not a problem, he is also proficient in running without the ball, and he closely follows Hamilton, and his defense makes the Pistons' offense, which has serious problems, slow down all of a sudden.

Playing with injuries still took its toll on Billups, making his strong body no longer a weapon he could rely on to defeat his opponents, and under the younger Rondo's defense, Billups no longer pushed inside, but stood at the top of the arc looking for a passing opportunity.

Hamilton ran over the baseline and a sudden counterrun interspersed with an inside run to get rid of Ray. Allen got the basketball, received the ball and raised his hand to shoot, the Celtics defense immediately rotated the next moment, Hamilton saw that the defense arrived, and then passed the ball to Prince.

Hamilton's pass was well grasped, but it was definitely not because of how much passing talent he had, but because of the tacit understanding, which was cultivated by them over the years.

Prince received the ball and pushed it further, and Garnett pulled it out from under the basket, jumped up and interfered with the opponent's shot, and quickly turned back to the inside.

But Garnett protected the rebound!

"They're sluggish on the inside!"

On the sidelines, Shi Lei noted the first shortcomings of the elderly piston. (To be continued.) )
