U1S1......

The adjective "cheap skin" (Note (1)) is really suitable for Su Feng's opinion to describe the current Raptors.

Because after his own voice went down, the spirit of these people was immediately different......

Thesis: The importance of doing a good job of ideological work is for a team to maintain its combat effectiveness.

In the third quarter of the game, the Raptors, who were woken up by the Pistons, gradually began to grasp the initiative in this G1 battle.

Of course, there are also factors that the physical fitness of the piston has begun to have problems.

After all, the battle of life and death with the Heat was only the day before yesterday, and today he ran a full half with the Raptors at a gallop, even if everyone in this Pistons team looks like a god tonight, it is normal for people to have poor waist strength.

On the court, in the third quarter of the game, under the leadership of Su Feng, the Raptors, who started from defense, continuously pulled the difference between the two teams to double digits through defensive counterattacks.

At this time, TNT TV, Smith also sighed: "Although the Pistons played a pretty good first half tonight, but against a top team like the Raptors, even if you only make one mistake, that mistake is likely to be fatal." ”

As we all know, the weak team plays the strong team, and if the weak team can't reduce the turnovers, then the strong team will continue to snowball through their higher lower limit.

And tonight, when the physical fitness is obviously inferior to the Raptors, in the face of the Raptors' undiminished defense, how can it be as simple as climbing to the sky if the Pistons want to achieve zero mistakes?

However, just when the Raptors fans at the scene and in front of the TV were sighing "We are too strong", a scene that happened in the second half of the third quarter of this game made Su Feng vigilant again.

Because of the center arena of the route, after noticing that the team's general trend was gone tonight, Carlisle made a decision that was extremely wise in Su Feng's opinion.

That is:

"Tactical retreat".

At the end of the third quarter with 2 minutes left in this G1 game, Carlisle took the initiative to replace Hill and Hughes and other main players, and only kept Starkerhouse on the court.

As a result, after Stackhouse failed to replicate his magical touch in the second quarter, the Raptors' lead quickly extended to 19 points after the third quarter.

In the final quarter of the game, the Pistons, who started with an all-tool human lineup, were hit by the Raptors at the beginning of the fourth quarter with a wave of 9-0 small climax.

"It looks like the Pistons aren't going to make any more bets in this G1 game.

After removing all of the team's main players, Coach Rick Carlisle chose to give up this G1 match. TNT TV, Smith said.

"Although we often say that in a best-of-seven series, losing one or two games is not a big deal.

But isn't it a pity to give up this G1 battle like this? On the other hand, Derek chimed in.

I have to say that under the premise that the Pistons players are in good shape tonight, it can be seen that the physical fitness of the Pistons players is not enough to compete with the Raptors who have entered serious mode......

In Su Feng's opinion, Rick Carlisle is not an ordinary person.

In Su Feng's previous life, when many fans reviewed the year of Nowitzki's "single-core championship", they often only saw Nowitzki's willpower like steel and the state of reverse growth.

But he forgot that Carlisle, who was behind Nowitzki at the time, laid a net for James and Wade.

If you know enough about the Mavericks' team history, then you know what kind of mess General Johnson left Carlisle behind.

In the NBA, a league of bastards, although there are many bastard coaches, there will also be excellent coaches like Carlisle.

And if you follow Smith's commentary just now, then in Su Feng's eyes, this Pistons are not giving up their bets on this G1 battle.

They just put their chips on the next series.

And this, in the fourth quarter of the game, when the camera showed the Pistons players, Su Feng found the clue.

Because unlike the average team that is more or less disappointed after a loss......

In the fourth quarter of the game, when Carlisle removed Stackhouse, the only main player, the Pistons' players, led by Hill, and even their water cooler tool, did not show obvious loss in their expressions.

On the contrary, from the micro-expressions of the Pistons players at that time, Su Feng read an emotion called "We seem to really be able to fight this Raptors".

"It's going to be a tough series."

In the last quarter of the game, Su Feng, who had returned to the bench to rest, looked at tonight's scoreboard and sighed silently.

……

In the end, relying on the excellent performance in the second half, the Raptors successfully reaped their start in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

The final score of the game was 99-118.

In the whole game, Su Feng shot 11 of 21, including 3 of 6 three-pointers and 7 of 8 free throws, and scored a Raptors-high 32 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.

Carter finished with 17 points in the second half, contributing a team-high 24 points and five rebounds.

Big Ben grabbed 18 rebounds, including nine from the frontcourt.

On the Pistons' side, Hill contributed 24 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists.

Stackhouse shot 6-of-13 from three-point range, plus free throws and two points, to score a Pistons-high 27 points.

After the game, in an interview, Su Feng was asked the most by reporters about the ownership of the major NBA awards in the 9900 season, which will be announced in a few days.

In this regard, although he was still thinking about how to win the Eastern Conference semifinals steadily, Su Feng did not forget to stimulate the shark that was swimming in the Los Angeles sewers.

"I've said it many times before, I don't care who the MVP goes to.

Because right now, for me and my team, the championship is our only pursuit.

In my opinion, at a time like this, it would be foolish to go to the trouble of getting people to vote for me. In an interview, Su Feng said.

And in the Raptors' locker room, listening to Su Feng's answer, if the reporters remember correctly, a day ago, that is, last night, in Los Angeles, it seemed that a man named O'Neal was howling for the experts to give him the ticket......

Hiss ————!

Hong Kong Zhen, it's really not that the reporters want to bring rhythm, but after interviewing Su Feng, they found that Su Feng can bring rhythm better than them!

Because of Su Feng's remarks just now, you said he wasn't scolding O'Neill?

Who will believe this?

"Su ...... Don't you really need us to pass you more balls in the game? ”

In the locker room, after the interview in the locker room, looking at Su Feng, who had a calm face and was about to rub his back with Big Ben, Carter asked curiously.

In Carter's view, now is the critical moment to decide the ownership of the regular season MVP, so he originally thought that Su Feng would pull everyone to accompany him to the sewer like in the regular season......

However......

As he spent more and more time with Su Feng, Carter found that he really couldn't understand the rabbit in front of him more and more.

"Vince, how many times have I told you, I'm a team player." Patting Carter on the shoulder, Su Feng said seriously.

Carter: "......"

In fact, in Su Feng's opinion, Carter's worries about himself were completely superfluous.

Because with the Raptors already 74-8, Su Feng knows very well that Stern will never let the regular season MVP fall behind others.

Moreover, it's 2000, and no one really thinks that they did badly in the first round of this year's playoffs, right?

What kind of international joke, just the Knicks's game intensity that only plays a few minutes per game and surrenders, even if you replace Su Feng with Westbrook, it will be ......

Emmmmm......

Let's change the subject!

According to the schedule, the G2 game of the series between the Raptors and the Pistons will start on the 8th.

Compared with the G1 battle won by the Raptors, Su Feng believes that this prepared piston will definitely cause more trouble for the Raptors.......

……

On the 8th, at the center arena of the route, after the mutual testing of the G1 battle, as soon as the G2 battle came up, the Raptors fell into a bitter battle.

Judging from the lineups of both teams, the Raptors are certainly the more dominant side, but as we all know, basketball is not a sport where the strength of the roster alone can determine the outcome of the game.

Otherwise, how many championships do the Knicks have to win as an All-Star starter?

Because the Pistons can play against the Raptors at every position, coupled with Carlisle's targeted tactics, many of the Raptors' advantages cannot be fully played when facing the Pistons.

For example, the Raptors' speed and rotation offense.

With a small-to-small Pistons, after adapting to the G1 battle, in the first quarter of the game, they successfully and effectively limited the Raptors' defensive counterattack by quickly retreating and man-marking.

Although the Raptors' two wings have strong single-handedness, Carlisle successfully passed a simple math problem to relieve the pressure on the Pistons when dealing with the Raptors' singles.

That is, no matter how efficient Su Feng and Carter are, the Raptors can only score by one of them every round.

In other words, as long as the Pistons can play their offense well and ensure that they can keep up with the Raptors' scoring rhythm when Su Feng and Carter are on a rampage, then they can play back and forth with the Raptors.

In Su Feng's previous life, when many fans saw the lineup of the four-star Warriors, they all thought that the Warriors should win the opponent by 20 or 30 points per game, and then not lose a game until they won the championship.

But in fact, if Kerr still insists on letting Durant play alone in the future round of the Warriors, and does not find a way to return the ball to Curry, plus Paul is not injured, then it is really unknown whether the Warriors can step through the mosaic.

To put it bluntly, just looking at the lineup, that Warriors team can simply hammer a mosaic in every way.

But because there is only one basketball, if the Warriors can't play the linkage between stars, then all they can rely on is Durant's single ceiling.

And once Durant's singles can't be stabilized at a certain time, then they can easily be pushed back by Mosaic.

That was the case in the first quarter of the Pistons-Raptors.

In the playoffs, in order to avoid mistakes, it is common sense to give the ball to the star as much as possible.

Therefore, it is not so much that the Raptors are actively pursuing a single strategy to find stars, but rather that from the beginning of the G1 game, they have fallen into the trap of a V-man battle prepared for them by Carlisle.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, it doesn't matter if Davis is stuck.

Because the real coach of the Raptors, when he returned to the bench to rest after the first quarter of the game, he successfully found inspiration through a "MVP mascot" sitting on the side of the Raptors.

At that time, Stephen Curry was seen waving his little fist and constantly complaining to his younger brother Seth Curry that the Raptors had become a team that would only give the ball to "Uncle Melon".

Hearing this, Su Feng, who originally wanted to take advantage of Dell Curry's inattention, turned around to clean up this damn bear child, but under the inspiration of Stephen Curry, he saw the key to opening this series correctly.

In the second quarter of the game, at the Center Arena of the Route, Raptors fans were desperately expecting Su Feng to win this real man battle between him and Hill to help the team extend its lead......

The Raptors' change of formation is coming.

Unlike previous games, Daben, who was supposed to take the bench with Su Feng in the second quarter of the game, was pressed on the bench by Davis.

And it was O'Neill Jr. who replaced him in the C position.

In addition, Su Feng's position in the second quarter of the game was also moved to the power forward.

As for the small forward position, it is Maddie who will take the position.

The scoring guards and point guards are Curry Sr. and Nash respectively.

Tonight, after the first quarter of the game between the two teams, many experts in North America believed that the Raptors should find a way to play the same defense as they did in the second half of the G1 game.

After all, the defensive counterattack is what the Raptors have relied on to survive for the past two years.

Therefore, whether it was discussing with his Wolong and Phoenix Chicks, or when thinking about how the Raptors should change their formation to avoid being led by the Pistons by the nose, Davis did not consider abandoning Big Ben.

And in the same way, because he has been playing a bit well recently, Su Feng has not thought about this aspect.

It's just that Curry's words and the idea of the future warriors to the end successfully inspired Su Feng.

That's ......

Why should we think like Van Gundy?

Why don't we look for other ways to make up for our strengths?

In this series, because the Pistons have a roster that can keep up with the speed of the Raptors, after they adopt the strategy of letting go of big money, they are one of the few teams in the league that can force the Raptors to chisel them with singles.

But now, after the Raptors abandoned Big Ben, the situation is completely different.

Perhaps, such a Raptor, in terms of defense, will drop a lot.

However, please don't doubt the offensive ability of this Raptors team under the guidance of Steve Nash.

As soon as the game came up in the second quarter, Hill, who insisted on it even though Su Feng did not stop, took the lead for the Pistons through a jump layup, and then turned around, O'Neal Jr. hit a three-pointer for the Raptors in the top arc through a high block.

Immediately after, Starkerhouse missed a jumper, and the Pistons quickly stepped back.

And at the moment when the Pistons just set up their defensive formation, Nash used an imaginative pass to directly penetrate the entire Pistons' defense.

In the restricted area, Maddy, who received a pass from Nash, easily hit a layup.

29 to 34.

In the center of the route, after the Raptors played two consecutive smooth offenses that are rare in this series, Carlisle suddenly felt a chill on the bench of the Pistons.

Because the question given to him by Davis is obviously a bit out of the ordinary......

No......

Why do you dare to abandon the big book?

And why can you put out such a strong roster when you abandon an All-Star?

Unlike that warrior team of the future.

Because Su Feng's talent in organization is limited, when the basketball is handed to him, most of the time, Su Feng thinks about how he can end the offense.

But what is in common with the future Warriors team having an imaginative MVP point guard......

Sorry, we also have an MVP-caliber point guard.

In addition, O'Neal Jr., Su Feng, Maddy, and Curry Sr. all have a certain ability to hit outside, so all of a sudden, under the mobilization of Nash, the entire Raptors' offense became active.

In the NBA, although it is a truth in many people's minds that defense wins championships, in Su Feng's view, it is just because the offensive firepower of those offensive teams is not strong enough.

Because, offense is the best defense!

In basketball, you can score less than whom, but at the same time, you can also score more than whom?

On the court, with the sudden wave of Raptors, the center arena of the route suddenly cheered!

The water is splashing and the waves are choppy!

There is no doubt that tonight's Raptors, with the help of this piston, have once again ushered in evolution!

……

PS: I'm sorry, my blood pressure was very high yesterday and the day before yesterday, and after I went to the hospital for an examination, I also found out various high blood sugar ...... Anyway, under the doctor's various professional terms, I always feel that my life is short...... (It's not miserable, it's purely anxious about his solid weight of 190 pounds)

Let's take a chapter first, please bear with me a little more in the past few days, because in the past two days, Qiao will indeed faint suddenly from time to time, and her waist is a little unbearable, so she can't sit for a long time.

PS2: Note (1): Cheap skin, local dialect, depending on the context to determine the praise and disapproval, here refers to the Raptors players do not scold the bad habit of inflating.
