The five hundred and seventy-eighth chapter five up and five down is not arrogant, but tyrannical! 【
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Pistons fielded a mix of backup and starting lineups headed by Atkins, a well-known microwave player in the late 1990s and early 2000s, who was quick and accurate. , Very good at tearing the opponent's defense to get points.
Putting him on is also the team's hope that at the start of the second quarter, they can catch up with the score and not be completely overwhelmed.
Can see the Celtics lineup, Pistons coach George Irving immediately frowned.
The Celtics' starting five tigers all go to rest!
They actually came five up and five down!
Normally, this kind of five-up and five-down lineup rotation occurs only when the game enters garbage time, or when the previous five players played too badly.
The Celtics' players are obviously not bad, and there is only one reason for Bird to do this.
Didn't take your Detroit Pistons for dinner!
George Owen pulled Stackhouse unhappy and said: "Jerry, get ready to play! If they dare to go up and down five times, we will let them see our firepower! Go and get the score back!
He decided to change his rotation and add a leading scorer in response to the Celtics' contempt.
The Celtics players on the court at this time are: Manu Ginobili, Richmond, Lewis, Tony Batty and Mark Blunt!
Manu Ginobili temporarily served as a point guard, he controlled the basketball, and took Atkins through the half court in a hurry.
Atkins is only 178 cm tall. Although he can attack, he is completely unable to defend. In the face of Manu Ginobili at 198 cm, he can hardly form any interference!
The smart Manu Ginobili did not miss the opportunity of this dominant matchup at all. After a few tentative steps, he directly accelerated and entered the inside line!
Facing the inside line from the opponent's defense, Manu Ginobili directly took a strange European step, easily bypassed Mickey Moore, and scored a layup with his left hand!
Manu Ginobili's enchanting steps once again sparked cheers from the fans!
This Argentine can always use his dashing tango to make the big guys extremely excited.
In the Pistons' offensive round, Atkins played to his strengths, called for a screen, took a step and passed Ginobili, and then forced a long 2-point shot with only one move. Unfortunately, he had a bad touch when he just came on the court. This time, the shot fell apart and missed.
Tony Batty grabbed the rebound and threw it directly to Ginobili. Ginobili took the ball without hesitation, took another step forward, and rushed towards the basket.
The Pistons quickly returned to defense, but they couldn't slow down Ginobili's advance. Just when everyone's attention was on Ginobili, thinking that he would take a snake-like pace to break through and score again. Nobili suddenly passed the ball from behind, and threw the basketball toward the diagonal 3-point line with eyes on the back of his head.
There, just in place Lewis!
Lewis grabs the basketball and raises his hand for another 3-point shot!
"Huh 々 々!"
With a crisp sound, the Celtics' backup Gemini completed the connection!
And this is just the beginning!
Although the Pistons immediately replaced Stackhouse, he also managed to score two goals in the face of the obviously immature defense of the Pistons bench.
On the other hand, it's the Mercury offense of the Celtics' backup team!
Ginobili's ball-handling style is to always do things you don't think he can do!
You think he is going to break through, but he just pulls up and shoots. You think he's going to shoot, but he starts to charge, you think he's going to hit the basket, with a 'swoosh', the basketball is gone, and it's flying to the open space beyond the 3-point line!
In addition, Richmond and Lewis were in good form tonight. These two guys also fully grasped Ginobili's wonderful pass and made consecutive shots!
In the first 5 minutes of the second quarter, the Pistons were once again hit with a 15:5 offensive climax.
Not only did they fail to catch up with the Celtics' absence from the starting lineup, but the difference was further widened.
Halfway through the second quarter, Bird waved a big hand, Tony Batty, Mark Blunt rested, Lin Long and Rashid replaced.
The Celtics' offensive firepower has been further enhanced, and even the defense with the basket has been greatly enhanced. Stackhouse, who could have scored a few points just now, immediately declared a misfire, and the Celtics pushed the attack forward. The opportunity was handed to Manu Ginobili, who after a summer of hard training, the stability of dribbling and passing and the ability to control mistakes have greatly increased.
What's more valuable is that after becoming more stable and calm, Ginobili's unrestrained creativity and jumping soul did not disappear because of this!
He's still able to make artful offensive rounds!
Under his leadership, the entire Celtics once again turned into a fast-break team. Lin Long, Rashid, Lewis and others were at ease under his guidance, and everyone scored.
In the face of the Celtic's wave of attacking frenzy, the Pistons had nothing to do, and the point difference was rapidly widened!
And when Gary Payton, Ben Wallace and Steve Jackson came on the stage, the Pistons, who were barely scoring a few points just now, immediately turned their offense into sluggishness!
They couldn't attack the tight iron barrel formation of the Celts, nor could they guard against the surging attacks of the Celts.
This kind of game where both ends of the offense and defense were blown up, naturally, it was completely spent early.
67:39.
At halftime, the Pistons were down (Zhao's) by nearly 30 points!
It can be said that they only played a good half-quarter! Since the Celtics changed their defense and began to focus on tight defense, the Pistons have never been able to play a decent offense.
After the excellent performance of Billups in the first five minutes, he made only 10 of 5 shots in the next quarter and a half, only scored 3 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, and had as many as 3 turnovers!
Billups' first game back to his old club was destined to end with regret and a fiasco.
In the second half of the game, the Pistons gave up the game early, and before the third quarter ended, they replaced the bench and declared their surrender.
In the end, the Celtics beat the visiting Pistons by 32 points, 110:78, to win the opener, and to prove to all the guys in the world who felt the team was falling apart and had no hope of winning this year: we're still here! We are still the number one favorite to win the championship!.
