In the first quarter of the game, Milicic entered the state very quickly. He scored 6 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and a block in the paint. He seemed unstoppable. Larry Brown kept shouting, letting everyone concentrate on defense. , but still scored 28 points by the Celtics in the first quarter. Among them, Pierce, the soul of the Celtics, scored 11 points. Pierce finally proved to himself that he can still play in big games. Played well. The Celtics were very smooth. The team only made two turnovers in the first quarter, and they retreated very quickly. They were not beaten into a fast break by the Pistons. The Pistons only scored 21 points in the first quarter. Only then did Larry Brown really start to pay attention to this game. In his opinion, the Celtics were not among the opponents before. The only ones he could pay attention to were the Heat, Spurs and Suns, but the Celtics The Chinese team is obviously more balanced than these teams, and their age structure is also younger. Their physical strength is not a problem at all, and there are enough people playing, and almost all of them played in the first quarter. On the other hand, it also disrupted the defensive focus of the Pistons players. The partnership of Krstic and Chris Anderson makes the Pistons' double Wallace very uncomfortable. Chris Anderson can be said to have no offensive ability, blue-collar versus blue-collar, and Krstic is more like a poor version of Milley. Xiqi, and this guy prefers to play in the mid-range and does not take the initiative to enter the inside to hit hard. Larry Brown admitted in his heart that Rivers did have some strength, and his reputation was not in vain, but at this time he just believed that the Celtics had the ability to compete with the Pistons, and being able to compete was one thing. It just means that the two teams belong to the same level, but whether they can win is a big question. Larry Brown replaced Billups with Lindsay Hunter and used the interior combination of McDyess and Perkins to defend Milicic and Al Jefferson, leaving Prince and Delph on the court. promise. Delfino is a little envious of Milicic, although he is not left out in the Pistons. But at least he didn't get enough attention. He played less than 20 minutes per game. Although he produced some data, it was not enough. Some people even couldn't call his name. Delfino was not a player in international competitions. A mediocre player, the only thing he lacks is adaptability and experience to the NBA. The Celtics¡¯ lineup also has some adjustments. The combination of Milicic and Al Jefferson is still used inside, and Darrell Wright is replaced at the small forward position. With Pierce off the court, another star outsider is needed in the backcourt, namely Eddie Jones. The point guard used Delonte West. Rivers hopes to rely on this lineup to continue to widen the score gap on the court, and Eddie Jones's appearance can also make up for the vacuum of Pierce's absence to some extent. Delonte West's offensive ability is not weak. Coupled with Darrell Wright's running, jumping and three-point ability, I believe the Pistons' second team may not be able to take advantage. The Pistons started to attack first. Lindsay Hunter was very experienced and slowly moved forward with the ball. He was also observing the defensive position of everyone in the Celtics lineup. West interfered with him and did not Not big, Hunter made a feint and went directly to the three-point line. However, West's legs and feet are faster, and Milicic and Al Jefferson are also ready to defend under the basket at any time, so Hunter slows down the rhythm again. McDyess takes the position over there, and Milicic Taking the initiative to defend behind him, Hunter passed the ball to McDyess. After holding the ball, McDyess leaned against Milicic and said: "Darko, you are different now. It seems that I need to take you seriously." Milicic is also somewhat grateful to McDyess. Back then, McDyess also motivated himself to a certain extent, so Milicic didn't say any trash talk. He just said behind him: "I will defend you with all my strength, be careful!" McDyess used his back muscles Feeling Milicic's center of gravity and strength, he suddenly turned around and turned to the right to break through to the basket. Milicic hurriedly took half a step back. McDyess took half a step back and made a half-volley shot. Milicic was not at a disadvantage when he played against Double Wallace before. He was still a little complacent and did not take McDyess too seriously. But he forgot that this guy was also a member of the Dream Team back then. Although his competitive status is not as good as it used to be, his skills are still there. Many basketball players have those moves deeply imprinted in their brains, entering every part of their muscles. In one reaction, the back hit just now was also McDyess's proud work. Switching to the Celtics' offense, West dribbled the ball back and forth, trying to use his speed to bully the aging Lindsay Hunter. Hunter always felt like he couldn't keep up with him. Just as he continued to stick to the ball, Eddie Jones shouted: "Pass the ball quickly!" But at this time, Lindsay Hunter, who looked like an old lady before, suddenly accelerated and used her left hand toKnocked the ball out of West's hand, rushed over from West's right side, controlled the ball in his own hands, and counterattacked forward with the ball. At this time, no one on the Celtics could return to defense. , Hunter ended the offense with a layup. The Celtics attacked again. Hunter still stood next to West as if he was perfunctory. Darrell Wright, who was serving the ball, didn't pay special attention to it, and West didn't make any deliberate fake moves. After the ball was passed, Hunter rushed out like lightning and stole the ball half a step ahead of West. After Hunter got the ball, he rushed up and finished the offense with a layup. In an instant, the 7-point lead that the Celtics had worked so hard to build in the first quarter was reduced to 1 point. This time the Celtics attacked, West was much more careful. After reaching the frontcourt, he quickly handed the ball to Milicic who was already in position. Milicic held the ball and wanted to use his body to crush Parkin who was defending him. Si, but found that although this guy was nothing else, he was as strong as a bull and couldn't bear it at all. Just when Milicic was hesitating about his style of play, McDyess stretched out his hand to grab the ball from Milicic's hand. Milicic was stunned for a moment when he saw it was McDyess, and then the ball was directly stolen by McDyess. The Pistons once again After a counterattack, Prince dunked and the Pistons took the lead by one point. Seeing this scene, Larry Brown couldn't help but laugh and mutter to himself: "Hate and humiliation can make a person perform beyond normal performance. Suddenly he loses the target of hatred and replaces it with someone he has a good relationship with. I will hesitate. Rivers¡¯ formation is good, but his understanding of human nature is far behind.¡± (To be continued.
