Although Pierce usually keeps quiet, this guy is known as a bad guy, otherwise he wouldn't have been stabbed so many times in the bar. And Prince has been looking like this in the past three years in the NBA.
Just like a good student, if it weren't for his occasional impressive three-pointers, steals, and blocks, you wouldn't even remember that he has any style of his own.
Reggie Miller, who was watching the game in the stands, prayed in his heart: "Don't be impulsive! Don't be impulsive!"
Miller came to the scene this time and did not sit in front. Even the cameras did not fully capture him. He was wearing a baseball cap and large sunglasses. The reason why he came to watch the game was entirely out of a feeling of hatred for the Celtics.
Curious, he really wants to see how far this team can go, because in his opinion, the Celtics are a team that may change the pattern of the Eastern Conference in the future. Although they are not mature now, this is not
To prevent them from becoming the strongest team in the future, you must know that their starting lineup has two potential insiders who are not yet 20 years old. This is a wealth that other teams simply do not have.
What Miller remembers most is the Auburn Hills Palace incident this season. Although Artest's move was very big and must have been a flagrant foul, the situation at the time was that the Pacers were already leading by more than 20 points.
, the Pistons had no chance to overtake, and Ben Wallace started to provoke, and things got worse. In fact, the Pacers also went downhill after this incident, and were completely rebuilt after that.
Such a blow should not befall a young team like the Celtics, especially the mentality of the young players is not very stable yet. Lost self-confidence cannot be regained, and they are all on their own rise.
Period, if you encounter such an incident, you are likely to sink.
But what is surprising this time is that the good boy Prince hit Pierce, and the evil guy Pierce actually took the initiative to beat them after seeing Milicic, Jefferson, Tony Allen, Chris Anderson and others rushing towards them.
He stopped him and said: "You guys have to calm down! We basically have the victory in this game in our hands, and we don't want to cause any trouble. I will repay him with basketball just for that elbow. It has nothing to do with you.
Play the ball in your hands!"
Pierce's overall view and leadership ability at this time made Rivers look sideways. When he first took over, he felt that Pierce was still the kind of star player who was a little confused after leaving Anthony Walker. He played with his own likes and dislikes, and even asked for it himself.
He transferred and did not want to continue playing for the Boston Celtics. He was not even ready to be the boss. He wanted to fight for the championship as a second-in-command rather than take on more responsibilities.
But now that he has matured and grown into the leader of a strong team, Pierce has restrained his composure. He knows very well that although Prince looks good, he does not play like other defensive players.
So dirty. But among the Pistons' bad boys, is he really a person who has emerged from the filth without getting dirty? I'm afraid not necessarily, it's just that he looks very good.
Pierce is also a very tempered person, but he suppressed his anger at this time and did not let himself explode, because he knew very well that he was the winning party. No matter what, victory is the first priority, and he is not like he was just now
There was so much enthusiasm when entering the league, and it is no longer the time to be aggressive. This year's Celtics team is the most promising one for Pierce. He has been waiting for so many years and does not want to let the great opportunity pass before him.
Slip by in vain, and after a few more years, I will reach the age of thirty. At that time, my current achievements may not mean anything at all. I may have to wander outside when I am old. This can be clearly seen from Eddie Jones.
.
What Prince just said was what Larry Brown had told him before, and he must try to anger them and disrupt their rhythm. In fact, the Pistons' offensive ability is not strong, with five main players in four games.
The average score is more than ten points. Ben, McDyess and others are all in single digits. Their main way is to fight other people's counterattacks. However, the Celtics' current rhythm is very good, especially when the ball is handed to the inside.
At that time, Milicic had very good ball control ability and would not be easily intercepted. Moreover, Fisher, Eddie Jones, and Pierce on the outside were all veteran players. Counting on them to make some low-level mistakes was like counting on big mistakes.
It would be unrealistic to shoot a three-pointer at the buzzer.
And once a team that has always been offensive enters its own mode, it is almost impossible to defeat, just like the Suns versus the Spurs in the same year. Once the Suns' fast-playing whirlwind enters the mode, then even the Spurs are as persistent as the Spurs.
Even a rock-solid defense won't work.
There is only one minute left in the game. At this time, the Celtics are already leading 100 to 95. Here, the Pistons have the ball. After Billups reaches the frontcourt, he directly shoots a three-pointer half a step away from the three-point line.
The ball, the ball went directly into the basket, 100 to 98, the suspense still continued.
Looking back this time, Fisher controlled the ball in the frontcourt and handed it directly to Pierce. At this time, the competition was the star's ability. When one goal can determine the outcome, no team dares to trap or leak defenses.
At this time, the tactics are difficult to run, and they often rely on the singles ability of the stars.
Pierce dribbled the ball on the outside looking for opportunities, while Milicic came out for a pick-and-roll. A single block separated Prince from behind. Pierce broke into the inside and Ben was squeezing Pierce. At this time, Pierce was between Ben and
When Prince, who was catching up, was about to completely cover himself, he hit the ground and passed the ball. The ball passed under Prince's crotch and reached Milicic's hands.
Milicic's vision was wide open. After running two steps, he jumped directly within one step of the free throw line. At this time, Ben and Rasheed Wallace flew up from the side to block Milicic's dunk.
Milicic held the ball with both hands, as if he was going to hit Larry Brown on the head with a rock. Although his arm was pulled by Ben, he still poured the ball into the basket while losing his balance, and
He grabbed the basket with one hand to prevent himself from falling to the ground. While blocking Milicic, Ben lost his balance due to Milicic's impact and fell directly to the floor.
Milicic grabbed the basket with one hand, looking down at the big book on the ground like a great god in the air, and said: "Now you can see the gap between us, people without talent." (To be continued.
