The Eagles were confident and wanted to take advantage of the situation, while the Pistons, as the underdog, kept fighting back, and the two sides were evenly matched!

After the start of the second quarter, Jason Terry started the main attack, Liu Mang served as his deputy, and Korver and Persson took turns as shooters. The Pistons relied on steady defense to break up the Eagles' teamwork.

Let Liu Mang, Jason Terry and Tracy McGrady come up in the second half of the second quarter to enter singles mode, and then use Billups, Hamilton, and Bosh's offensive capabilities to support the offensive end and knock out Delfino's three-pointer.

And the cutting ability and Ben Wallace's ability to eat cakes under the basket came into full play.

Billups's ability to lead waves steadily and seek stability in waves; Hamilton's precise mid-range shooting skills, even catching the ball and turning mid-range shooting skills; Bosh's mid-range and long-range shots; Delfino's air cuts and three-pointers; Ben-

Wallace's rebounding and physical fitness were both utilized by Coach Sanders!

After halftime, the two teams played an unexpectedly high-scoring game. The Eagles made 23 of 42 shots, 6 of 13 three-pointers, and 11 of 13 free throws to score 63 points.

The Pistons made 27 of 44 shots, 3 of 10 three-pointers, and 7 of 13 free throws, scoring 64 points!

The two teams played evenly! And the Eagles were slightly at a disadvantage!

Liu Mang scored 25 points at halftime, McGrady 11 points, Jason Terry 9 points, Kwame Brown 4 points, Mourning 2 points, Iguodala 4 points, Prince 2 points, Rasheed Huale.

Shi and Persson each scored a three-pointer.

For the Pistons, Hamilton scored 20 points at halftime, Bosh had 16 points, Billups had 13 points and 5 assists, and the others combined for 15 points. The three Arrow players combined to score 49 points!

The Eagles trailed by one going into halftime.

…

Liu Mang had made 8 of 14 shots at halftime and scored 25 points.

Liu Mang feels the progress of this Pistons team!

Although this Pistons team does not have the oppressive defensive intensity of the Pistons team in the original time and space, the offensive end is much better.

Liu Mang felt that this lineup was more suitable for Billups than the iron-blooded lineup created by Larry Brown.

Bosh is younger and more impactful than Rasheed Wallace, who originally came to the Pistons. Rasheed Wallace's offensive performance in his peak period was not as good as Bosh's this season. Rasheed Wallace

During the Trail Blazers era, he had a higher shooting percentage and was more willing to go inside. His style of play was wild and gorgeous, but he was not that good at this sharp off-ball offensive mode.

The original top five of the Pistons, Rasheed Wallace, completely degenerated on the offensive end of the Pistons. The two defensive players inside the Pistons are very powerful, but they have enough defense and insufficient offense. But Bosh is different. He is only a sophomore and has a small body.

With a similar physical profile to Garnett, he met Sanders, the head coach who trained Garnett, and got a full opportunity to display his talents. He formed a strong inside line with Ben Wallace, one offense and one defense.

combination.

Delfino's defense is a bit worse, and he is more passionate than Prince. Ben Wallace and Hamilton are at their peak, one year younger than when Coach Sanders took over in the original 2005-06 season, especially

Ben Wallace has not yet reached the age of 31 when his career fell off a cliff.

In the original 05-06 season, the Pistons' Ben Wallace suffered a serious decline in defensive efficiency. The defensive efficiency dropped from the historically best 9.6 and 9.1 in the 2003-04 and 2004-05 seasons to 6.4 in the 2005-06 season.

The team's defensive efficiency was driven by the new coach Sanders' reuse of Billups' offensive organization and rhythm, leading to a 64-18 record that ranked first in the league that season, and Billups almost took it away.

Nash's second MVP.

In the original time and space, the Pistons won 54 games in the 2004-05 season. When other teams' records declined in the 2005-06 season, the Pistons bucked the trend and won 64 games, but the lineup remained unchanged. Coach Sanders brought

The progress is obvious.

The tactics are difficult to implement. Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady both tried to organize offense and distribute the ball, but the Pistons defended the ball very well, and the Eagles were also able to organize offense, and their scoring was much more spread out than the Pistons.

Two of the Pistons' seven players on the court failed to score a point, and the Eagles' scoring efficiency in organizing the offense was not as high as that of individual points...

Looking at Bosh's half-time statistics of 16 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, he seemed to be a defensive, rebounding poor version of the scoring-enhanced Eastern Garnett. Liu Mang felt that he had poached Rasheed Wallace. Instead, he seemed to have poached him.

What a pit!

Poaching Rasheed Wallace forced the Pistons to choose a power forward, but instead helped current coach Sanders find the most suitable player.

Last season, Larry Brown didn't pay much attention to Bosh. Bosh came to a strong team and played hard. This season, he took off when he met coach Sanders. He reached the Eastern Conference Finals and received higher evaluations than James, Wade, and Millisi.

Strange, Anthony is taller!

You have dug a hole for yourself, so just dig it. Just don’t jump by yourself. Let others jump. Liu Mang feels more and more motivated. He feels more oppressive than he imagined. This kind of oppressive feeling is Liu Mang.

He had only played against the Lakers in the season finals. He felt this pressure again in the playoffs this season, and he was even more excited.

Feeling a little hungry, Liu Mang called out: "Andre, bring me some bread and Gatorade, I'm hungry!"

"Okay..." Iguodala went to the staff to get bread and energy drinks.

The Eagles' coaching staff is losing their hair again. It's so difficult!

Coach Kruger is worried here!

At halftime, the opponent became more and more aggressive. Billups' offensive maneuvers were at his fingertips. It seemed that his five assists in the half were not many, but a player like him does not directly pass the ball to his teammates to score, but controls the rhythm.

.

This is very similar to Kidd and Payton, they are almost the same strain.

Coach Kruger was having a headache, but when he heard that Liu Mang was doing this, he was still thinking about eating! He suddenly became angry and said, "Ace! Come over here and think of something!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Liu Mang immediately ran over and responded: "How to coach?"

"Do you have any solution for dealing with the Pistons?" Coach Kruger glared at Liu Mang and said.

"Uh..." Liu Mang leaned into Coach Kruger's ear and said something.

When Coach Kruger heard this, he suddenly felt so stupid that he had ignored even the simplest things...

…

…

After the halftime break, the Hawks sent out a combination of Liu Mang, Iguodala, Tracy McGrady, Josh Smith, and Kwame Brown.

For the Pistons, Billups and Hamilton continued to play, second-year undrafted Ronald Dudley moved to the small forward position, and the inside combination of Derrick Coleman and Ben Wallace came on stage.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Pistons attacked first.

Billups came up and tried to shoot a three-pointer to eliminate his threat, but unfortunately he didn't make it.

The Pistons retreated very quickly. Liu Mang did not rush after grabbing the defensive rebound. He held steady and controlled the ball and advanced to the frontcourt.

Hamilton felt terrified as he followed McGrady, fearing that Liu Mang would pass the ball to McGrady.

Dudley, the 2003 undrafted pick who averaged 10 minutes per game in the regular season, was okay in catching and shooting, but his defense was really bad, otherwise he wouldn't have averaged 6.2 points in 10 minutes per game in his rookie year and was given up by the Bulls.

Billups is also very nervous, ready to flank Tracy McGrady at any time. Of course, it would be best if Liu Mang plays in singles.

Liu Mang passed the center line, advanced to a distance of more than one or two meters from the free throw line, and suddenly started to accelerate!

"Ding...the strongest first step is triggered at level 5, with an explosion speed of 5..."

The strongest first step of outside use requires space for at least one step. Now, at this time, it is the critical moment that Liu Mang thinks!

Liu Mang suddenly accelerated, and Billups didn't even have time to pull him away. Liu Mang suddenly rushed into the inside from the left!

The Pistons' defensive discipline is better than that of the Bulls. They immediately shrink. Although Dudley's defensive ability is not good, he can still stay in the NBA because of his positivity. It is not easy for him to be undrafted. He is obviously eight centimeters shorter than him but stronger than him when he comes up to block him.

Liu Mang was much stronger and Billups also chased him from behind.

Liu Mang immediately passed the ball to Iguodala on the left sideline. After Iguodala received the ball, he did not shoot a three-pointer and also chose to rush inside.

Hamilton quickly let go of McGrady and moved toward Iguodala, blocking Iguodala in the middle distance on the left. Iguodala then passed the ball to McGrady. McGrady received the ball and still chose to rush inside...

Ben Wallace was attracted to the right side of the three-second zone when Liu Mang broke in. Coleman was attracted to the left side of the three-second zone when Iguodala broke through. McGrady got a big gap.

, rushed directly to the basket!

Coleman turned back and could only hug McGrady. McGrady grabbed the ball with one hand and threw it to the basket. Unfortunately, he didn't score, but he got two free throws!

McGrady went to the free throw line and made one of two free throws...but it also tied the score at 64!

Seeing the Hawks' style of play, Coach Sanders' heart skipped a beat on the Pistons bench!

The coaching staff of the Eagles had a headache for a while, and the Pistons had an even bigger headache!

Coach Sanders has done his best to make very effective adjustments to the team's offense, and even scored one more point than the Eagles at halftime. However, their lineup, Billups and Hamilton in the first half, Ben-

Wallace played the entire half, and only the young Bosh and Delfino rested for four minutes. Physical fitness is a big problem.

After the second half of the game started, the Eagles adopted Liu Mang's idea and had more people!

Since the Pistons did not win the championship in 2004, there were many fewer supporters. Their substitute lineup was quite miserable. Even Coleman was an important part of their interior substitutes.

The Eagles replaced five players with strong impact, and they rushed inside one by one, just to cause damage!

Next, just like what Coach Sanders feared most when his heart suddenly jumped, the Eagles began to rush to the basket!

Let’s not talk about offensive efficiency. The main thing is that when Bosh is away, the interior defense is slow!

Three minutes into the third quarter, although the score was not overtaken by the Hawks, the Pistons and Hawks were tied at 70, but Ben Wallace was forced to take a foul!

And it was only 3 minutes, and the Pistons had already committed four fouls! Next, in addition to offensive fouls by the Pistons, any fouls committed on the defensive end by the Eagles would be free throws! Coach Sanders was forced to call a timeout.

When encountering a rogue team like the Eagles, Coach Sanders's face, which looked as sinister as a gangster godfather, became even more gloomy. He angrily cursed the opposite coach, Big Brain, for being shameless for using such despicable methods.

There was no other way, they just had people, so Coach Sanders could only replace his five best players, Billups, Hamilton, Delfino, Bosh, and Ben Wallace.

The Hawks started their regular rotation again, with Liu Mang continuing to play, Tracy McGrady, Persson, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown playing, fighting hard against the Pistons lineup.

The only team that can win 63 games is the Pistons. The Hawks also have Jason Terry, Mourning, Persson, Muhammad and several Mesozoic players and veterans on the bench. Young players
