NBA: The strongest trash talk

Early the next morning, the Celtic players gathered at the bus and headed to the airport. They will then return to Boston to take on the Detroit Pistons.

At the time of the gathering, the young Celtic players were all tired and looked like they hadn’t woken up, and it was clear that something bad had happened last night.

Stevens can’t do anything about this, this is the player’s private life, as long as it does not affect the game, he has no right to interfere.

Instead, Chen Xu was full of energy, which made Stevens’ eyes shine.

“Learn from Chen! He has a lot of female fans, but others haven’t gone out to play, and yesterday he definitely went back to the hotel to sleep after the game. Stevens wanted to erect Chen Xu’s core as a model.

“Coach, Chen also went out last night, and he is still with a big star!” Jaylen Bulang argued.

“Hmm…. Is it? Stevens was a little embarrassed, so he had to quickly discuss tonight’s game with his assistant.

……

Back at home, Chen Xu also continued to practice diligently, using the morning and afternoon time to shoot 800 three-pointers, and also went to the power room to stay, since he wants to complete the opponent’s star, naturally he must develop comprehensively.

At 7 p.m., the Pistons also arrived at TD North Shore Garden Arena.

The Pistons’ record in recent years has been dismal, and since 2008, they have missed the playoffs for six consecutive years, and there are no stars to win.

It finally made the playoffs in 2015, but was swept 4-0 by James’s Cavaliers in the first round. For the next two years, the Pistons still missed a playoff spot.

Thankfully, the Pistons made a difference in the 2012 draft, selecting Andre Drummond, the highly anticipated NCAA All-Centered Center, in the first round of No. 9.

After coming to the Pistons, Zhuang Shen also grew rapidly, except for his rookie season, he was able to steadily contribute 13+13 star-level center data per game in the rest of the season, and grew into one of the Eastern Conference All-Stars in the Pistons.

Not only that, Zhuang Shen also won the NBA rebounding king with an average of 14.8 rebounds per game in 2015 and 16.0 rebounds per game in 2017.

But the Pistons still missed the playoffs for the next two years, and in the middle of the 2017 season, team manager Brian Wright made up his mind and brought the unhappy All-Star “White Monster” Blake Griffin from the Clippers.

As Griffin, who defeated Harden, Curry, DeRozan and others in 2009, has 24.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 5.4 assists in his rookie season, and is another genius who averaged 20 points per game in his rookie season after James and Cameron in 2003.

This performance also gave the Clippers hope of becoming a powerhouse.

But then Griffin did not give the Clippers a hopeful ending, with Chris Paul, DeAndrew Jordan and other All-Star players in the team, the Clippers have always been regarded as the Western powerhouse, and the limelight once overshadowed the city’s arch-rival Los Angeles Lakers.

But for several years in a row, the Clippers have not been able to break through the second round of the playoffs, and Paul has been ridiculed for not being able to touch the floor of the Western Conference finals.

Unable to bear the team’s owner Steve Ballmer, he also decided to tear the team into the rebuild, trading Griffin to the Pistons in exchange for future draft picks.

Unfortunately, Griffin did not lead the Pistons to the long-lost playoffs in the 2017 season, and this season, the healthy Pistons are also attacking the playoff spot.

Under new coach Dwayne Casey, the Pistons currently have an 18-18 record, seventh in the East and are very likely to squeeze into this year’s playoff spot.

From the beginning of the game, the Pistons continued their usual style, with rigorous movement, high tactical literacy, and continuous singles reversal also had good results.

But the Celtics are obviously better, in terms of tactical literacy, I am afraid that no team in the East can match the Celtics under the tutelage of young coach Stevens.

Especially with the Celtics working together and monolithic, the Pistons’ offense quickly fell into confusion, and after the first quarter, the Pistons trailed by nine points at 22-31.

In the second quarter, the Pistons’ tactics became much simpler, that is, to put the ball in the hands of their current star, Blake Griffin, hoping to use Griffin’s shaft to allow him to pass the ball to help the team defuse the Celtics’ defense.

It is a pity that it is Chen Xu who is eyeing Griffin, or a Chen Xu who must completely overwhelm the opponent’s star!

Since Griffin held the ball, Chen Xu has been staring at him like a ghost, no matter where Griffin appears, Chen Xu can defend in place.

Especially when Griffin is 208 tall and his arm span is not as good as Chen Xu, it is very uncomfortable to be harassed by Chen Xu.

At halftime, under Chen Xu’s defense, Griffin shot 2 of 7 in the second quarter, only scoring 6 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist.

Chen Xu scored 9 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists on 4-of-6 shooting. Fortunately, Reggie Jackson, the Pistons’ third firepoint, played well, and under the defense of Marcus Smart, he hit consecutive 3-pointers, almost dumbling the opponent.

The Pistons, who were once more than 20 points behind, also relied on his excellent performance to narrow the gap of more than 20 points to 13 points and entered the second half.

In the third quarter, the Pistons changed their formation again, using Zhuang Shen as the main point of attack, and Griffin assisted, playing an 11-2 mini-climax to close the score.

After all, Zhuang Shen has solid technology, flexible feet, and Horford, who is relatively taller than 208, is also very advantageous, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is turning over the river and the sea on the Celtics’ inside.

At the end of the third quarter, the Pistons trailed by four points at 82-86. This also allowed the Pistons crowd to see the dawn of victory.

In the fourth quarter, Dwayne Casey made another fatal tactical mistake and reactivated the Griffin Lord. Poor Griffin completely became Chen Xu’s dinner in the fourth quarter.

Trash talk, singles, steals, single defense, take care of Griffin almost doubting life. In the fourth quarter alone, Griffin made four unforced mistakes, which shows how deep the doubts are about life.

The main reason is also because Griffin’s career has been smooth, on the field, except for Duncan, Nowitzki, who are older and more demon type of big forwards, the other teams rarely play back and forth with him. Not to mention harassing him with trash talk all the time.

In the end, Chen Xu fully suppressed Griffin’s 21 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists with 32 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals.

The Celtics also defeated the Pistons 123-112 to win eight straight games!
