367. I dont know what to do!
With the fans cheering, Ben Wallace won the jump ball and the Pistons took the lead.
"Winning a jump ball is like celebrating the New Year." Liu Mang said disdainfully.
Emmanuel laughed dryly on the sidelines. If Pistons fans heard it, they would probably be pissed to death.
This is not to blame the Pistons fans, they have not won in the second round for too long. Since Jordan crossed the final obstacle of the Pistons in 1990-1991, the Pistons have never recovered, although they have occasionally scored in the past ten years.
In the playoffs, even if they selected Grant Hill, who was the All-Star vote-winner in his first rookie season, he almost never won in the first round. He almost always got eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.
They were swept. They haven't seen the team play in the conference semifinals at home in ten years. They can't be happy when they return to their home court.
The Pistons' lineup of Atkins, Jon Barry, Chris Williams, Clifford Robinson, and Ben Wallace remains unchanged from the first two games.
The Eagles' lineup has not changed either.
After Atkins advanced, Clifford Robinson pulled to the bottom corner, Ben Wallace pulled out to give Jon Barry a ball-free pick-and-roll, and Chris Williams dropped to the low post to get the ball.
This tactic is a bit strange. Coach Carlisle has always been good at using some weird tactics, such as Barea to defend James, but Muhammad had to be pulled out to defend Clifford Robinson's three-pointer, and Ratliff also had to go out to delay the pick-and-roll.
Jon Barry and Chris Williams really had a perfect opportunity to beat Raheem in the low post.
Atkins lobbed the ball to Chris Williams, and Raheem pressed hard to defend. The position Chris Williams wanted was too close to the basket. There was no one else under the basket, and the space was extremely open.
Following the force of Raheem's pressure, he hit the board with a small hook that turned around.
This is really unstoppable! After scoring, the Pistons retreated immediately. Raheem picked up the ball and sent it to Jason Terry. The Eagles attacked and Jason Terry advanced.
When it comes to who can play a more "absolute" defense, Popovich is one of them, and Carlisle is definitely the best among them. Dean Grove was completely left open, and Jon Barry retreated to the free throw line.
Ready to double-team Raheem or Jason Terry at any time, Atkins follows Jason Terry, Chris Williams follows Raheem, Clifford Robinson and Ben Wallace stick to the line
Basket.
This defense... Jason Terry feels familiar! The opponent's defense does not require pick-and-rolls and running positions at all, and no matter who is pick-and-roll, there is an extra Jon Barry who can cover the defense immediately, and then immediately
Form a trap.
The main reason is that there is no one in front of Dean Grove!
Jason Terry immediately passed to Dean Grove.
With such a big gap, Dean Grove was a little confused! After hesitating, he still shot.
"哐"
Blacksmithing!
Sometimes the accuracy of shooting depends on determination and concentration. Dean Grove's hesitation made his already inaccurate three-pointer even more inaccurate.
Ben Wallace, who was guarding the basket, overwhelmed everyone to grab the defensive rebound and continued to control the rhythm.
It's still the same tactics, it's still the same Chris Williams singles.
Chris Williams is already good in the low post. He probably practiced this aspect of play in the past two days, and he hit another turning hook.
The Pistons played at a very slow pace. By the time Chris Williams received the ball, fourteen or five seconds had passed, but when the ball was in Chris Williams' hands, he almost turned around and hooked the ball.
, this slow-to-fast rhythm change makes it difficult for the Eagles' defense to adapt.
When it came to the Hawks' offense again, the Pistons' defense still only exposed Dean Grove's gap, and then defended 5-for-4, forcing the Hawks to hand the ball to Dean Grove.
Jason Terry had no choice but to pass the ball to Dean Grove immediately.
The last time he missed the shot, Dean Grove was under a lot of pressure, but now the ball came again, and he had to shoot, but he didn't dare to shoot. He became even more undecisive and almost missed the shot in the end.
The ball fell directly to Clifford Robinson.
At this time, the Pistons had a perfect chance to counterattack, but they did not fight. Instead, they slowly passed the ball to Atkins. Atkins pressed the speed and passed the halftime with almost an 8-second violation.
It's still the same play style and tactics. Chris Williams received the ball with 10 seconds left in the 24-second attack time. This time Muhammad couldn't hold back and rushed back inside to help defend. Chris -
Williams immediately moved to the right corner, and Clifford's Robinson took the ball and shot a three-pointer...
Missed! Raheem collected the defensive rebound, and the Pistons immediately returned to defense without rushing for the rebound.
Although the shot was not made, the Pistons' small-scale cooperation was successful, but the shot was not made.
The Eagles continue to be trapped in a positional battle. With Ben Wallace on the court, the pace can't pick up!
Jason Terry advanced this time and did not pass to Dean Grove, but chose to break through!
Atkins couldn't stop Jason Terry's breakthrough, but Jon Barry came up to double-team, and the two of them were easy to defend together. Moreover, the Pistons have always faced big confrontations and made many small moves. They would lose the ball when the two double-teamed!
Jason Terry immediately passed the ball to Raheem. Raheem received the ball and wanted to rush inside. Atkins immediately rushed forward. Chris Williams fought hard to resist Raheem. Atkin
Si tried to steal the ball from the bottom lane, but Rahim was forced to take two steps back to get beyond the free throw line.
At this time, Raheem exited, and Atkins immediately followed Jason Terry who ran out of the three-point line. Chris Williams stayed at the free throw line and did not go out.
Raheem doesn’t know what to do in the mid-range!
Suddenly, Joan Barry came over to double-team, and Jason Terry was blocked from outside the three-point line. He was too short to rush in and cut through the air, but it was useless. There were four inside players under the basket, and the space under the basket was blocked!
Liu Mang looked at the Pistons' defense and Rahim's helpless mid-range shot. His mind immediately thought of the Mavericks' method against the Heat in the 2011 Finals. He used his bizarre defense to score against the two main players of the Hawks.
Kill with your hands!
The current Dean Grove is like James without the ball when Wade was in possession of the ball in the 2011 Finals. He stood outside the three-point line and couldn't make three-pointers. Moreover, he was infinitely worse than James.
Far away, there was nothing he could do with the ball in his hands. The Pistons forced a 5-on-4 look on the defensive end!
Chapter completed!
