The process of going to the Palace of Auburn Hills is a rare relaxation for the players. As the only arena among the 30 NBA teams that is far away from the city center, players can rarely see green on the way to the arena, and then

Smell the fresh air belonging to the suburbs.

Of course, all the relaxation is only on the way to the Auburn Temple, and this relaxation will disappear once you enter this arena. As one of the famous Devils home stadiums in the NBA, the fans here are definitely not friendly.

In addition to the Bad Boy Legion that made even basketball god Jordan sigh in admiration, what made this arena world-famous was undoubtedly the vicious gang fight in 2004.

More than three years have passed since the incident, and this group fight is still mentioned by many people. Of course Yang Shuai also knows about this incident, but after all, it has been so long, these incidents will not affect the upcoming game.

Returning to their home court, the Pistons performed even better. In the third game, they led the Celtics by 5 points at the end of the first quarter. But then, the Celtics controlled the rhythm of the court. In the second game, they led the Celtics by 5 points.

In the fourth quarter, under the pressure and defense of the Celtics, the Pistons only scored 13 points. The Celtics seized the opportunity to lead the opponent by 4 points.

In the third quarter, the Pistons' offense finally started, but the Celtics still did not give their opponents a chance. They once again won the opponent by 3 points in a single quarter, extending their lead to 7 points.

Entering the last quarter, the Pistons fought back hard, but they had no chance against the steady Celtics. In the end, the Celtics won the game 95:89 on the road, changing the score to

2:1.

Just one day later, the two teams met again. This time, the Pistons showed their momentum at home. They outscored the Celtics in every quarter. The Celtics lost to the Pistons 84:93 in the away game and were defeated by the opponent.

Evened the total score.

Returning to Boston with a score of 2:2, the Celtics did not let victory slip away in the crucial Tianwangshan battle. They beat their opponents at home with a 14-point advantage and won the match point. At the end of the game, the score stayed

At 88:102, this was the first time the two sides scored more than 100 points in this round. With such high-intensity defense from both sides, it was natural for the Celtics to win.

In Game 6, the venue for the battle between the two sides will again be at the Palace of Auburn Hills. During the pre-game mobilization, Rivers repeatedly emphasized that the fans hope that when they return to Boston from here, they will bring back the news of entering the finals, rather than being dragged into the third round.

News from seven games. In the Western Conference, the news that the Lakers eliminated the Spurs 4:1 was an inspiration to the Celtics players. They can't wait to play against the Lakers. They can't wait to rush to the finals. Of course,

It's not just the Celtics players who hold this idea, the Detroit Pistons players also think so.

After five games of fighting, the two sides have become extremely familiar with each other. It is basically useless to use tricks. What matters is the strength of the team and performance on the spot.

Just like this series, this is destined to be a fierce game. From the first minute, the two teams started to play in a stalemate, and then this state continued to the end of the half.

After the first half, the two teams were tied at 44:44, and the tense atmosphere filled the entire Palace of Auburn Hills.

The game was still close in the first half of the third quarter, but after Yang Shuai and Russell came on the court, the situation began to change dramatically.

When Yang Shuai came on the court in the third quarter, the score between the two teams was 57:57, and the Celtics were still one point behind. Pierce had committed three fouls in the first half and fouled Prince again in this quarter.

After that, Rivers had to take him off the court to rest. Prince's second free throw also hit, 57:58, and the Pistons led by 1 point.

In the Celtics' offense, the ball passed through the hands of Garnett and Ray Allen and then returned to Russell's hands. Garnett stepped forward to cover, and Russell and Garnett made a simple

In the pick-and-roll, Billups took a half-step and shot quickly from mid-range.

The aliens' shots were extremely decisive and the ball scored equally crisply, which made Kenny Smith, the on-site commentator, couldn't help but sigh: "Sam is always a huge help to the team on the bench."

Kenny Smith is indeed one of the most suitable people to express such a sigh. During the Rockets' two consecutive championships in the 1993-94 and 94-95 seasons, Cassell, who had just entered the league, provided sufficient energy for the Rockets on the bench.

Firepower, more than ten years later, when the aliens once again came to a team that was competing for the championship, his role was equally important.

"Hey, Kenny, Sam is indeed very good, but the number one substitute in the Celtics team is not him, but China Yang." Reggie Miller interjected.

"Yes, Yang is the best substitute for the Celtics." Barkley also nodded. From looking down on Yang Shuai at the beginning of the season to being tied to the same boat with Yang Shuai after losing the bet, Charles -

Barkley's mood was really ups and downs, but the more he paid attention to Yang Shuai, the more he discovered that this young man was different.

The ever-present self-confidence, stable defense, and rapidly improving offense. When Barkley realized these things, he regarded Yang Shuai as "one of his own" from his initial reluctance to becoming more and more fond of Yang Shuai.

It was something he didn't expect at the beginning of the season. To express it in one word, things are really unpredictable.

Yang Shuai will not guess how complicated Barkley's mood is at this time. The only thing he is thinking about now is how to help the team in this half quarter. Pierce will not play until the fourth quarter, which means that in the fourth quarter

He will stay on the court for the rest of the three quarters.

Billups dribbled the ball outside the three-point line, and Hamilton was still running non-stop. He was in very good shape in this round of games. In the first five games, he scored more than 20 points. Although Yang Shuai's matchup

The player is Prince, but he has been watching every move of the Pistons' main offensive player.

Ray Allen followed Hamilton, but McDyess's screen slowed Jun Zijian half a step. Hamilton came to the free throw line and prepared to catch the ball, but he did not wait for the ball to arrive.

"Tsk, Young's defensive enthusiasm is something everyone in the league can learn from. The last moment he was standing between Chauncey and Richard, and now, he has moved towards Chaitaian Prince again." Looking at the whole court, he was running across the field.

Kenny Smith sighed sincerely.

Yes, it was Shuai Yang who prevented Billups from passing the ball to Hamilton. When he saw Hamilton was about to throw away Ray Allen, Shuai Yang rushed over quickly. Billups threw a trap and passed the ball to Shuai Yang.

Prince was free. At this time, Yang Shuai, who was only halfway through, quickly turned around and rushed towards Prince. The little prince of Detroit faced Yang Shuai's defensive shot and shot, and the ball hit the basket and bounced out.

, Garnett got the rebound.

"Defending one against two is not an easy job." Although he successfully blocked an attack from the opponent, Yang Shuai had to lament that if he was allowed to defend like this all over the court, he would probably only be able to last for two quarters at most with his advanced physical strength.

time.

At halftime, he calmed down and every cell in Yang Shuai's body became active again. He had been struggling for a long time just now, and now it was the other party's turn to do this.

Yang Shuai started running non-stop, and Prince followed closely behind him, but kept muttering in his heart. Defending Pierce and guarding Yang Shuai are two completely different tasks. Pierce is more accustomed to holding the ball in singles, while Yang Shuai

Just like Ray Allen and Hamilton like to run, Prince prefers to defend Pierce, because defending the ball carrier's offense is his strength, and even supplementary defense and assist defense are his strengths.

But he really hates guarding players without the ball.

There is a gap between Yang Shuai's running skills and Ray Allen and Hamilton, but Prince found that he is better than the two in one thing, and that is that once Yang Shuai starts running, he seems to have no intention of stopping.

After running from the left to the right and being stopped by Prince, Yang Shuai turned around and started running from the right to the left again. Prince was annoyed by the repetition, but the Celtics had another runner.

There is a master Ray Allen, and Yang Shuai's running position seems to always be able to avoid Ray Allen but also take advantage of the cover of his teammates. These are obviously the tacit understanding created during daily training.

When Yang Shuai came out from the left three-point line again, Prince, who was interfered by Perkins, finally lost his position and failed to keep up. Rondo's pass was delivered immediately, he caught the ball and took off, and Yang Shuai took off.

As if he had been prepared for it, he took action decisively and resolutely, without any trace of the fact that he led Prince around the court several times.

"Bang!" The ball hit the inside of the basket and fell cleanly into the basket without touching the basket at all. 62:58, the Celtics led by 4 points.

"Tsk tsk, Reggie, you were right, Yang started to perform." Barkley shouted as excitedly as if he had been shot to death, which made Reggie Miller, who originally liked Yang the most among the three, sigh.

: "Money can really change a lot of things."

The Pistons' offense once again hit the ground running. This time it was McDyess in the paint. Facing Perkins' defense, his shot hit the backboard. Yang Shuai rushed into the paint to get the rebound, and quickly handed it to Cassel.

Rush to the other half.

Yang Shuai, who had rested for a long time, seemed to be particularly energetic. Before his teammates reached half court, he started running again. After receiving a pass from Cassel, Yang Shuai went straight to the basket and passed the ball to

When Garnett followed up, he received the pass and Garnett steadily hit a 2-pointer.

"Sam Cassell shot while running, and the ball bounced out of the basket. Yang rushed to grab the offensive rebound, passed it back to Sam, and took another shot from the mid-range. Yes, the ball went in!"

"Yang, after receiving the ball from Kevin's double team, he had a chance to make a three-pointer. Chauncey pounced on it. Yang moved a step laterally, took a shot, and scored a two-pointer! Well done."

When the Celtics played a wave of 11:5 to widen the point difference to 5 points, Sanders off the court finally couldn't stand anymore and called a timeout. Almost all of the 11 points scored by the Celtics were due to Yang Shuai and

Cassel, this is something he cannot tolerate, because in a real sense these two are only the opponent's fourth and fifth scoring points.
