That night, after the Pistons players returned to the hotel, they found Philip Sanders, who was staying up late to study the video, and the final meeting started after the game.

We all watched the 5 rounds of the game together.

Everyone was silent. Philip Sanders leaned on the back of the chair, rubbing the tiger's mouth with his right thumb and index finger, and the team members felt very stressed.

Ben Wallace, who usually talks the least, spoke first: "In fact, we are better than them when we play defense."

Billups shook his head: "But we are not their opponents when we play offense. They have a strong offense and are more continuity than us. Their substitutes are too strong."

"The coach controls the rhythm well, and we may not necessarily lose." Ben Wallace retorted.

"But they have a warden, he is so scary... Yao, I heard that the warden thought his mid-range shot was not good enough. After practicing hard for a few days, he trained mid-range shots until he was as strong as Kobe and Nash. I thought it was just an urban legend, but I didn't expect it to be true."

Yao Ming was named and said with a wry smile: "Yes, after watching him play against the Spurs' Western Conference Finals, I thought he had become more powerful, but I didn't expect him to be so powerful."

"Hey, I thought the first quarter would be our advantageous stage, but their performance in the first quarter was not good. As a result, the Warden made the first quarter the Trail Blazers' advantageous quarter alone, and he locked in the victory after coming up." Billups was depressed.

The teammates sighed in unison.

After reviewing the game, they confirmed that they were behind 4-12 at the beginning, and the game was basically explained, and the subsequent pursuit of points was all useless.

After the players complained, Philip Sanders said: "This is a very troublesome thing. The warden is too strong. However, we determined the reason for the loss of G1, which was that the warden was not defending the warden at the beginning. Let's find a way together. The meeting will be held at 2:00 tomorrow afternoon. We will discuss how to deal with the warden's opening attack. We are just losing one away game now, so don't worry too much. If we can win G2, we may not be able to return to Portland...Okay, the meeting will be over."

The coach spoke, and the team members said goodbye to their room.

It has been working together for almost a season, and the Pistons players are still not used to it.

This coach looks like the kind of person who will sink them to the Detroit River with just a disagreement.

But he was not very fierce when speaking, and he was very concerned about the players, worried that the players were under too much pressure... The Pistons players felt it was unreasonable!

This person shouldn't be like this! Didn't this person be regarded as a godfather by Garnett's bastard?

…

The Pistons players were so much pressure that they wanted to scold the situation. The atmosphere of the Trail Blazers was much easier.

The next afternoon, the Trail Blazers coaching staff held a preparation meeting.

The vice president took the lead in speaking: "We won a very smooth game yesterday, and there were many good things. Last night, they changed the team all over the game. We clearly saw their strength on both ends of offense and defense. We just chose to firmly defend our advantages and not respond much. Although they are very strong and stronger than the Spurs, we still have an advantage. What is the word "back-attack, yes, back-attack."

"Yes, we have the advantage of change," the coach took over the conversation: "We should not be careless in every detail and every small stage in the next game. Everyone saw yesterday's game. After the warden started 12-4, we laid the foundation for the victory. The opponent did his best to fail. There were small giants and flying men on the opposite side, and they also had the same ability. We must pay attention to this...but there is no need to be too much pressure.

If we accidentally lose tomorrow, we will only win one of our three away games and we will be able to come back to play at home..."

The vice president was surprised at first why the coach was speaking so seriously today, and was a little moved. The coach finally grew up... and then he wanted to strangle this guy to death.

I just won the game and actually said such despicable words!

However, such a coach is in line with the players' perception, and some people can't help laughing.

Liu Xiu guessed that the coach's idea should be to understand that the players will not suffer from their confidence because of these two sentences, and they also got a vaccination in advance. If G2 loses and there is still a away game, if the away game is not good, try to win a away game as much as possible...

Compared to last year's finals, Liu Xiu feels more trustworthy.

The coach first became serious and then activated the atmosphere and continued to talk about the serious matter: "The warden's deterrence has been played. Last night, he made 5 of 5 shots in the first round, but was very strict with him, only 5 of 17 shots, but even after his shooting performance dropped to 10 of 22 shots, he broke through the Pistons in the pick-and-roll and double-team. We must make good use of this..."

When it comes to this, Liu Xiu was a little excited.

Just like the coach, he could also feel that his super powerful deterrence has taken shape!

But, he has something that is quite confused. Why doesn’t the Pistons’ legendary first point guard seem to be so powerful?

…

After the meeting, the Trail Blazers conducted targeted preparation training on the tactical changes of the Pistons G1.

The day of the day's rest time passed quickly. On June 11, the second game day of the finals was here.

Liu Xiu's performance in G1 surprised people.

During the publicity period before the start of the finals, the media's evaluation of Liu Xiu has raised the fans' expectations for his performance, but he can still amazed the fans.

Comparing Wade's struggle performance when he met Billups, Carter and Prince's outside combination plus the Twin Towers of the Little Giants and Big Ben, Liu Xiu's performance at the start of the finals was as good as he could.

Stars who play by impact are prone to being defeated when encountering the Pistons. Just look at Artest's tragic situation, but people will not care about the difference between Wade and Liu Xiu's playing style. That is not what fans should understand. What they see is Wade, a supernova who was blown to the sky in the first and second rounds, who met the Pistons' shooting percentage, was less than 40%. Liu Xiu scored 12 points in a row at the beginning to defeat the Pistons...

In addition to Liu Xiu, Yao Ming continued his dominance in the Eastern Conference Finals in the finals, no longer being as tepid as the first and second rounds, and also surprised the fans.

At this time, the fans knew that Yao Ming only played 30 minutes in the first and second rounds, or even less than 30 minutes, for now!

Billups and Kwame Brown received sympathy from fans.

These two were the second defense bosses selected by the coaches. One met the warden and the other met the little giant, and they were hammered to death...

During the World Cup, Chinese sports fans' enthusiasm for watching the NBA Finals has greatly increased, because G1, Liu Xiu and Yao Ming are the main C of their respective teams!
