Amid the pre-match turmoil, the first Eastern Conference semi-finals between the Cavaliers and the Pistons will be played at Auburn Hills Palace in Detroit.

With Chen Xiao insisting on playing power forward against the Pistons, after several days of testing against Chen Xiao, Rick Carlisle has completely accepted the setting that Chen Xiao can play a qualified power forward.

In addition to his lack of strong ability to grab the board.

Chen Xiao has all the qualities of a qualified power forward.

The naked height is 2 meters, and the height is 2 meters 03 meters in shoes. This height is indeed not high among the current NBA power forwards, but Chen Xiao's 2.21-meter-2 can make up for this very well.

Chen Xiao looks lean now, but weighs 110 kilograms. This weight is also very good among the power forwards in the NBA.

You know, Chen Xiao’s player, Rashid Wallace, weighed 102 kilograms when he participated in the draft, and now he weighed only less than 105 kilograms.

Of course, Rashid Wallace, like Pierce, is both a practical weapon-shaped body with a large butt, which has a great bonus to the inside.

Although Chen Xiao is very heavy, because his butt is small, it is difficult to fully exert his weight, so there is nothing to do about this.

There are gains and losses. For thin bodies like Chen Xiao and Garnett, they have a little bit of athletic ability, and it is really difficult to fully exert weight.

However, this is on the offensive end and on the defensive end, Chen Xiao's strength and weight will never suffer a loss against Rashid Wallace.

After all, even without a big butt, Chen Xiao weighed 10 pounds, had 95 strength attributes, and had 90 qualities in the battle skills. Plus the 90 card position and 90 blocks. Let's put it this way, Chen Xiao is definitely the top five power forward in the NBA on the defensive end.

As for the offensive end, Chen Xiao can pass the ball, shoot the ball, and play back, so he will not just hook, throw, and footsteps in the basket.

There is really no way to do this, Chen Xiao has never learned it before.

But even without these, Chen Xiao is still very threatening on the offensive end.

Especially Chen Xiao has increased his near-investment attribute to after 95.

So, in Rick Carlisle's eyes, Chen Xiao is really a nearly perfect power forward.

For Carlisle, the perfect player does not exist.

Everyone has shortcomings, as long as Chen Xiao’s shortcomings are compensated by other Cavaliers’ teammates.

So the question is, can Chen Xiao’s shortcomings be compensated by his teammates?

Chen Xiao’s biggest disadvantage of playing power forward is the rebounds, and Chandler has strong ability to grab the board.

Chen Xiao also has problems with his defensive position as a power forward, but Chandler's defensive position and mobile defense are definitely top-notch.

What's more, even if Chen Xiao has problems with his inside defensive position, his speed and explosion are very strong compared to the inside, and he can use speed and explosion to make up for the problem of his defensive position.

In short, after confirming that Chen Xiao could take on the responsibility of the power forward very well, Carlisle felt that the entire team suddenly became clear.

Chandler, Chen Xiao, Dalius Myers, Korver, James.

This is the starting player prepared for the Pistons after Carlisle's test in the past few days.

The reason why Crawford was not used in the starting lineup was still Korver.

That's because Korver is really very useful.

The Cavaliers and Nets played a very touching game this time.

After this round of series, many of these young people from the Cavaliers have grown up.

And the biggest growth is Korver.

Korver has always been a very mature player of the Cavaliers.

Among the Cavaliers' rookies, Korver is the most mature.

He played in college for four years, and Korver, in his junior year, was the highest in the team in terms of scoring, rebounding, assists and steals.

He has no problems with all aspects of his skills, the only problem is his NBA game experience.

Even in the confrontation, he was not that bad. He was 95 kilograms in the draft and had been fighting this season. Now he is 96 kilograms, while Hamilton, who is the same height as him, is only 88 kilograms.

Of course, because Korver is white, his body is much stronger than Hamilton.

Hamilton looks thin, but in fact, the confrontation is very strong.

At this point, Korver is much worse.

Therefore, there is a problem when Korver defends single defense, especially when the opponent has strong back-attack ability.

But Korver's problem on the defensive end was completely fine when playing the Pistons.

The Pistons don't have Carter, nor Kobe.

Korver is active in running, has good height, and has superb shooting skills. He can perform well when facing the piston.

Especially after playing against the Nets, Korver, who has grown up and become more confident, has given Carlisle a lot of expectations.

After all, if anyone in this world knows the Pistons best, then there is no doubt that it is Carlisle.

Most of the people Larry Brown reused at the Pistons, except Rashid, are those people reused by Carlisle.

Too familiar!

After Chen Xiao was sure to play power forward, Carlisle discovered his treasure boy Korver.

You know, before this round of the Nets' series, Carlisle looked down on Korver, who was not very good at defending.

After all, Carlisle is a defensive head coach.

However, what is different from Larry Brown Popovich is that Carlisle is willing to use offensive players. He likes to use defensive players but does not discriminate against offensive players.

This is very important.

After Chen Xiao can confirm playing as a power forward, Chen Xiao's movement and co-defense ability plus Chandler's movement and co-defense ability plus the little wolf king Dalius Myers' co-defense ability, let's say that.

The front line defense is invincible!

As long as your team does not have an offensive center like O'Neal or Yao Ming in the inside, any team that hits the current Cavaliers will have to kneel down!

This is no joke, plus a point guard who is also invincible in defense.

There are only four of Chen Xiao and the others, and there is no problem with bringing a single-proof chicken, Korver.

But the key is that although Korver defends the single one, he is also very good at assisting the defense. After all, his position without the ball is very good and he can follow people.

If he played against the Nets in the last round, the lineups of Diop, Chandler, Dalius Myers, Chen Xiao and James were the strongest joint defense lineups.

So this time the lineup he prepared for the Pistons, Chandler, Chen Xiao, Dalius Myers, Korver and James, is the strongest lineup for assisting defense!

The strongest assisting team is a team like the Pistons that do not have strong offensive capabilities!

On the afternoon of May 5, after the Cavaliers completed the last adaptation training game at Auburn Hills Palace, Chen Xiao once again accepted an interview with reporters from all over the United States.

"Chen, many people say that you said you wanted to play power forward in this game for Wade's anger. After the game against the Pistons begins, you will disappear from Rashid Wallace. Is this the case?"

"I won't disappear from him, I think in the end, he will disappear from me."

"Chan, do you think, in the power forward position, will you make Rashid afraid?"

"Is it strange to make Rashid Wallace afraid? Dwyane did it, and I think I can do as good as Dwyane."

After Chen Xiao finished speaking with a very calm tone, the scene was in an uproar.

Although Chen Xiao's tone was calm, everyone could hear how angry Chen Xiao was now.

Moreover, Chen Xiao characterized Rashid Wallace's elbow to Wade and injuring Wade as fearing Wade, which is quite fresh and refined.

After all, Rashid Wallace said yesterday: "What do you think about the Magic Boy playing power forward? I don't have any opinion, even Duncan, I won't have any opinion."

He wasn't even afraid of Duncan, would he be afraid of Wade?

Chen Xiao's statement not only raised Wade, but also slapped Wallace in the face.

Moreover, the reporters at the scene could not refute Chen Xiao's fresh and refined statement.

It makes a lot of sense indeed.

Wade averaged 28 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 1 block in the first five games against the Pistons, with a shooting percentage of 48%. This is really awesome.

It was entirely due to Wade's credit for saying that the Heat can be 3-2 Pistons.

The Pistons finally let Rashid Wallace kill Wade, isn’t it just that the Pistons are afraid of Wade?

Even if Rashid Wallace wasn't afraid of Wade, at least the Pistons were the ones, Larry Brown was afraid of Wade.

Therefore, Chen Xiao's statement is really to belittle and anger Rashid Wallace.

As for Rashid Wallace's character, the whole world knows that he is really no one is afraid of, but since he has implemented the Pistons and Larry Brown's strategy, he will have to bear such consequences that day.

Chen Xiao put Larry Brown's hat on Rashid Wallace's head, and this terrifying Rashid Wallace was so angry.

When did the Roaring Heavenly Lord be afraid of being someone?

This is a frame-up!

So, after hearing the reporter reposting Chen Xiao's words, Rashid Wallace's face was full of an angry expression.

For some people, name is more important than anything else.

Some people are not afraid of death, just fearing bad reputation.

For Rashid Wallace, framed him as a coward, and putting him in the form of a sinister and cunning villain is much more painful than killing him.

If you want to be strong in your life, when is the kind of insidious villain who will hurt your opponent because you are afraid of your opponent?
