While the Celtics defeated the Golden State Warriors, who are the first in the West, at home, the Cavaliers unexpectedly lost to the Hawks at home, so that the Celtics temporarily topped the Eastern Conference with a half-court advantage, and it is also the top of the league!

This game made the players' hearts more energetic, and the team set their sights on this year's championship, everyone's hearts were full of desire and expectation, and the unified goal also made all the players extremely united!

After beating the Warriors at home, the team will go on a six-day, three-game road trip, with back-to-back games against the Detroit Pistons on the second day of the game!

The Pistons are currently in ninth place in the East, but the Motor City Legion, which has Andre Drummond and Reggie Jackson, is not so easy to deal with. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Detroit Pistons, a team in the central division of the NBA Eastern Conference, in the 2003-04 season at the beginning of the 21st century, under the command of coach Larry Brown, led the five-member iron-blooded team of Chauncey Billups, Richard Hamilton, Tysha Ann Princes, Rasheed Wallace, and Ben Wallace to defeat the Lakers with a luxurious F4 squad 4-1 in the finals and return to the championship team.

This season, under the leadership of head coach Stan Van Gundy, the Pistons are back, they have welcomed the return of Reggie Jackson this season, and they are bound to return to the playoffs in the new season, although they are now only ranked ninth in the East, but the tenacious and resilient Motor City will hold on to the end, who can guarantee that they will not be able to make the playoffs this season!

In this game, Stevens warned everyone not to be careless before the game, so he let the players rest freely, and did not arrange any more training on the day of his arrival in Detroit. Because it is a back-to-back battle, physical strength is more important.

The starting lineup for this game for the Pistons is:

Center: Andre Drummond, 2.11m;

Power forward: Tobias Harris, 2.06m;

Small forward: Marcus Morris, 2.06m;

Shooting guard: Kentavius Caldwell Pope, 1.96m;

Organizational Guard: Reggie Jackson, 1.91m.

At the beginning of this game, with the home court advantage, the Pistons launched a rare onslaught at the beginning, trying to use the impact to drag down the Celtics in the fourth quarter of the last game with the Warriors, but the effect was not good.

The Pistons, who originally had Jackson and Drummond in the combination of one inside and one outside, met Paul and Horford, who also had better players in the playmaking guard and center positions, so the tactics of using them as the offensive core were suppressed by the Celtics everywhere.

On the contrary, Ye Hai, which has become the most stable point of the Green Army's scoring output, seems to be at ease when facing Marcus Morris, although it is 5cm higher than Ye Hai, but whether it is speed, bounce or strength, Morris is fully inferior.

In the first quarter of the game, the Celtics, who were playing back-to-back games, took an 11-point lead and ended the first quarter 31-20.

With the team's recent successes and momentum, even the players on the bench are playing hard!

Knowing that this game was a back-to-back game, he played a 9-0 with Zeller, Olynyk, Crowder, Green, and Smart's bench lineup working harder on the court, and at the beginning of the second quarter, relying on the excellent performance of Olynyk and Claude, he played a 9-0 and directly extended the lead to 20 points!

Although Stan Van Gundy immediately called a timeout, he still couldn't stop the Celtics' offense!

"The spirit of this player looks completely different from last season, could it be that Paul's arrival has changed the face of this team?" Van Gundy thought to himself, but what he didn't know was that it was Ye Hai, a Chinese small forward who had just been drafted this season, who had a subtle impact on this team!

Seeing the rise of the substitute players and the team's dominance on the field, Stevens simply let the substitutes continue to play and let the main players rest more. Even in this game, Jerebko and Bentil, who rarely played before, were fielded!

These two interior players are even more combative as soon as they get on the court, although the skills are slightly rough, but the Pistons inside line is turned upside down, especially Bentier, who grabbed rebounds in the front court in a row, making the Pistons players more and more depressed!

At this time, Pistons fans can't help but miss their former iron-blooded interior line - the double Wallace combination, if there is any Wallace on the inside, a player like Ander Bentier is presumptuous!

But these are just the wishful thinking of Pistons fans themselves, and when Bentil exaggerated his sixth offensive rebound of the game, Stevens seems to have discovered a new continent, which is the team's own rebounding monster - Ben Bentyre!

By the midway point of the third quarter of the second half, the Celtics had led the Pistons by as many as 26 points! There is no suspense about the outcome of the victory!

Van Gundy replaced all the main players, and when he saw that his team's second team had no upper hand over the Celtics' team consisting of the second and third teams, he couldn't help but make up his mind that he had to have a showdown with the team's owner, Tom Gores, and that he had to get himself a superstar, preferring two or three good role players to his team, and that he had to get another player who could be the cornerstone of the championship in addition to Jackson and Drummond.

This point, he completely learned from the current Celtics, the Celtics, who were only hovering in the fourth or fifth place in the East last year, directly won the best record in the league after exchanging Paul with a backcourt combination, which made Van Gundy have to envy!

In the inconsequential fourth quarter, in stark contrast to the listlessness of the Pistons players playing at home, the Celtics' bench players still maintained their fighting spirit and energy, widening the margin to 30 points in one fell swoop!

At this time, the Pistons fans quit, and the current Pistons team no longer has the iron and tenacious spirit of the previous Bad Boys or the Pistons team under Larry Brown, and they have shouted the slogan "We want Big Ben" to vent their dissatisfaction, and even began to turn against each other and cheer for the wonderful goals of the Celtics!

At the end of the game, the score was 120-92, and the Celtics still bloodied Motor City in the second game of a back-to-back.

Stan Van Gundy shook his head, knowing that his team still had a long way to go!

After beating the Pistons, the team will have a day off before moving on to the Minnesota Timberwolves on the road!

The Timberwolves are not a powerhouse in the West right now, and while there are a lot of talented players, they haven't yet lived up to their talent in terms of record.

However, this game has attracted the attention of Chinese fans, because the Timberwolves also have a Chinese player, power forward Xu Zhibin, nicknamed the "Wolf King", who is waiting for the arrival of Ye Hai and the Celtics! (To be continued.) )
