It took more than 9 minutes and they only scored 12 points. Liu Mang felt that the Pistons were simply crazy. If this crazy team got together with a crazy head coach, it would be a shame. Fortunately, it was the Pistons.

The team owner and a South Coast greaser had been at odds for a long time. They had become incompatible in the late 1980s. Otherwise, if they had gotten together, Stern would have hired a murderer.

The Pistons were chased and hit by Raheem. Coach Carlisle was thinking about the stability of the offense. This offensive rhythm is so disgusting. The stronger the opponent, the slower the rhythm. He emphasized that defense is correct, but if the Pistons do not attack

In terms of stability, they can't beat the Hawks because their offense is so miserable. There are only two players on the team who average double figures in points per game, and the Hawks have three after all.

And although the Pistons are second in the league in rebounding protection, second only to the Lakers, the Hawks are first in the league in backcourt rebounds. Having more backcourt rebounds means they can play a lot of fast breaks. The rookie came up and forced

The pace is getting faster, and if you really have to bear it all, it will be difficult to win.

Michael Curry controlled the ball near the three-point line and passed the ball to Chris Williams in the top corner of the left three-second zone. Michael Curry quickly moved towards the bottom corner and passed it to Stack Howe in the bottom corner.

Si used the screen, Stackhouse used Michael Curry's screen to escape Liu Mang and came out. Chris Williams passed the ball to a 45-degree angle, and Stackhouse received the ball and shot a three-pointer...

This tactic of the Pistons was very successful. Stackhouse caught the ball and shot in an open position, but failed to make a shot. Although Ben Wallace failed to grab an offensive rebound from the Hawks' frontcourt trio, he relied on

The ball bounced and clicked in the air, delaying the Eagles' defensive counterattack.

Drag the rhythm to death! The closer you get to the peak, the more powerful the dragging power of the Big Ben field will be.

The Hawks had no choice but to play half-court position. Liu Mang pushed forward and had to fight against the Pistons' half-court defense. The Pistons restricted Rahim's catch. Jason Terry made a few blind moves when he picked up the ball. Chucky Ah

Tekins' speed and strength are not intimidating to Jason Terry. Although the opponent in the inside does not have a height advantage, Ben Wallace is too intimidating in the inside and cannot hit him. Even the pick-and-roll he tried before did not work.

Then fight hard!

Liu Mang faced Stackhouse and started dribbling in singles. The effect of the third level of ball control master was obvious. Liu Mang continued to dribble under his hips, wearing down Stackhouse's patience.

"Come on, steal me. I'm really bad at handling the ball. Do you want to steal one? I'll give it to you. You seemed to have averaged 30 points per game last season. How many points do you have this year? It's really pitiful. You lost three points.

A score of one, oh, by the way, your math is not very good, I will teach you math, you have to start with addition and subtraction..."

Liu Mang's mouth was like a barrage of cannonballs. Stackhouse had long known from the circle of top scorers that this rookie was getting more and more trash-talking. He had been holding back, telling him to give him steals and mocking him for his frequent steals on defense.

Coach Carlisle scolded him for losing his position, but he endured it. He also endured the ridicule, and his score dropped by nearly ten points. He also endured it, until he mocked him for math, and he couldn't bear it anymore!

You Chinese are so amazing at mathematics! You damn profiteer! As for why Stackhouse called Liu Mang a profiteer, it all started from the last time he met a Chinese businessman...

Stackhouse couldn't bear it anymore and made an Iverson-style tackle!

But Stackhouse's stealing ability and pressing power cannot really be compared with Iverson. Iverson has received a lot of votes in the best defensive player voting in the past few years. Liu Mang changed his direction and got away.

The opponent accelerates the breakthrough in one step!

Stackhouse is not slow either, with an ability value of 84 and a speed of 89. He immediately started to rush back after losing position... He overshot again!

Liu Mang stopped suddenly and retreated! He completely threw Stackhouse away by more than a meter! Stackhouse tried to turn around and defend himself, but he couldn't control his center of gravity and fell to the ground!

After Liu Mang withdrew, he took action with a sniper!

Perfect timing to take action! The sharpshooter triggered and the three-pointer hit the target!

Loud boos immediately erupted from the scene. I don't know if they were booing Stackhouse, who had already played almost half of the season, or because he couldn't integrate into the defense like other teammates, or they were booing Liu Mang. It was probably a combination of both.

But it's different for non-Pistons fans in front of the TV. American fans are more aggressive and can shout loudly in front of the TV!

Get rid of harm for the people!

Just like many playoff teams that have no obvious advantage over the Pacers when they encounter the Pacers, all teams in the league, especially the strong teams, are tortured to tears by the opponent's damn defense when they encounter the Pistons. Fans can see this

Everyone was grinding their teeth. Liu Mang's ball hit the opponent's player directly. To non-Pistons fans, it looked like he was just doing harm to the people!

15 to 8, the score difference came to 7 points! Coach Carlisle couldn't help but call a timeout!

…

Needless to say, coach Kruger didn't realize that his team really had some innate advantages when meeting the Pistons.

When Rahim is on the court, the opponent's inside line is bound to build a defense like an iron barrel to guard against Rahim. Then, if there is a defender with strong singles ability and high accuracy in strong shots on the outside line, it will suddenly become easy to play.

too much.

Jason Terry averages 21 points per game, but he is not very suitable for this role. He is good at strong shots, but Liu Mang cannot complete singles like this. He holds the ball and either shoots directly, or organizes offense and dribbles.

Not as good as Liu Mang in singles.

But Jason Terry, Raheem, and Liu Mang complement each other almost perfectly! One is holding the ball on the outside and playing alone, one is catching the ball and shooting, and the other is playing in mid-range and short range.

Of course, this is the reason why the Pistons have a system but don't have two top defensive perimeters.

But at this stage, the Eagles are really not afraid of the Pistons with their three eaglets playing together!

The Eagles continue to emphasize scoring, and the defense has been integrated into their bones. Moreover, the opponent's players are really bad at attacking inside. Chris Williams is the only frontcourt player who averages double figures in points per game, and Stackhouse is the only one on the outside.

, although there are also Chucky Atkins and Clifford Robinson who can average double figures per game, but if they cannot perform well, it means nothing.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Coach Carlisle is very tired.

Such a talented lineup, but they just couldn't play the balanced offensive and defensive game they wanted.

After playing for more than 10 minutes, the opponent only scored 15 points. This was an excellent defense. This shows that the Pistons' defensive tactics against the Hawks really worked. The Hawks averaged 104 points per game this season. With the recent start,

The Cavaliers' tactics, which have become popular, rank third in the league in points per game, second only to the Dallas Mavericks' 106 points and the Sacramento Kings' 105.2 points, and higher than the Lakers' average of 103 points per game.

The Hawks only scored 15 points at the end of the single quarter, and the Pistons' defense was really outstanding.

But they can't open their own offense!

Most of this has nothing to do with the Eagles' defense. It's just that the rhythm is too slow. Some transitional balls can be hit, but the rhythm is slowed down and you can't hit them even if you want to.

When the opponent's rookie who was good at transitioning between offense and defense came up, the opponent started to gain momentum, and his side suddenly fell into a passive position!

Success Ben Wallace, defeat Ben Wallace, Coach Carlisle was able to lead the team to this position in his rookie coaching season, largely due to the league's third-ranked team built around Ben Wallace.

The defense is good, but the offense that ranks 21st in the league is a bit miserable. The Spurs' offensive efficiency is still ranked 11th in the league, and their defensive efficiency is about the same.

Coach Carlisle gritted his teeth and replaced Ben Wallace with Serbian technical and fast power forward Kelce Lobulaka.

The 1980s was indeed a golden period for European and South American players. They defeated the American team many times. Starting from 1992, the magician, Larry Bird, and Michael Jordan of the 1980s took action.

Recover the rivers and mountains.

But during that period, it was not just Sabonis who was invincible. It would not be easy for him alone to win even if he faced the American team composed of NCAA players. There were many high-quality players in Europe at that time, but it was a pity that due to political factors and

Due to the war, most of them had no chance to come to the NBA.

Kelce Robraca was drafted by the SuperSonics in 1997 at the age of 19. He only entered the NBA this year and was sent to the Pistons by the SuperSonics before he even started playing.

It's a bit hard to say that they are Serbian, but not all Serbians are Serbian.

Roblaka is a Bosnian, that is, a native of the former Yugoslavia. The civil strife did not end until 2000, and he came to the NBA this year.

Although he is 2.11 meters tall, Robraca is fast and has good skills. Unfortunately, he was regarded as a European genius at the time. He is now 24 years old and has missed the best years to tap his potential. Now that he has come to the NBA, he can only

Be a substitute.

As a substitute post, he averages 6 points and 4 rebounds per game. He can also shoot three-pointers and hold the ball. He is the type of post that Coach Carlisle likes.

…

After the timeout, except for Chris Crawford who replaced Raheem, the other four players on the Eagles side remained unchanged.

The Pistons didn't make many substitutions, with Jon Barry replacing Michael Curry and Rob Braca replacing Ben Wallace.

But after the Pistons came up, their style completely changed!

With Ben Wallace, and without Ben Wallace, the Pistons are completely two teams!

The Pistons quickly attacked and caught the Hawks off guard. Stackhouse quickly advanced with the ball and broke through directly. The Hawks were not on a stable footing and double-teamed too hastily. After Robbac came out for a pick-and-roll without the ball, he ran back and got an opening.

At the same time, Stackhouse passed the ball, and Roblaca hit a small floater high against Chris Crawford who came over to defend and scored two points.

Fighting faster?

The Eagles hit back immediately!

In a situation like the Pistons where there are still players who are not in the right position in the middle of the road, although they have scored the ball, they will definitely not be able to form a system if they want to return to defense!

Liu Mang and Jason Terry, the vanguard troops dispatched, the cavalry company charged!

…

…

After the Pistons put in a lineup that could score, they picked up the tempo and their scoring efficiency suddenly became high. Moreover, the Hawks did not expect that the Pistons would suddenly change their style. They made a mistake on the defensive end and were suddenly scored by the opponent.

.

After the first quarter, the Eagles led the Pistons by 5 points, 20-15.

Neither team played so happily, and at the end of the first quarter, the Pistons launched a sudden offensive shock wave, which shocked the Eagles. Fortunately, the Eagles also scored 5 points in a row and continued to maintain their lead.

Score advantage.

Coach Kruger began to think about whether to continue to increase the speed and increase scoring efficiency, or to do the opposite? Take the initiative to slow down the rhythm and then increase the speed?

This is considered in two aspects. Continue to increase the speed and use the experience advantage of playing fast to defeat the opponent. This method has a high success rate, but if the opponent's offensive shots are accurate, they may be chased by the opponent to counterattack. It is effective, but unstable.

.

The second strategy is to take the initiative and control the rhythm changes in your own hands, but it also has disadvantages. The point guard Langbi may not be able to adapt to the too slow rhythm. After all, he is still a rookie...

In this case, coach Kruger simply called Liu Mang over.
