Diaw's defense is not as strong as Laga Bell's, and his offense is not as good as Laga Bell's three-point shooting range, but Diaw is better in all-around. He can cover, shoot in the basket, and can also coordinate passes to add a ball-holding point.
Can maximize the flexibility of the Suns' run-and-gun offense.
"Positional warfare is still about diamond tactics.
Nash went to the left and played a pick-and-roll tactic with Marion. After getting rid of Billups, Prince switched defense.
Although it was misplaced to hit Prince, Nash's small advantage over the big one was not big. He passed the ball to Diaw, who pushed with both hands and passed the basketball to Su Bei, who was running towards the side with the ball.
Lifting the ball and feinting a shot, Hamilton was sent flying into the sky.
Su Bei dribbled the ball, got to the basket, went straight to Huanglong, and used a short-range jump shot to send the basketball into the basket with McDyess's defense..."
Swish——!
The gap between the two sides is only 5 points.
Subsequently, as the Pistons attacked, Billups continued to bet on whether there were bullets in his three-point pistol...
After letting the bullet fly for a while, there was a clang, but it still missed.
"The Suns counterattacked very quickly. Faced with Billups' pressure, Nash used a back pass and passed it to Diaw. Diaw continued to take two steps, and he passed the ball..."
Su Bei and Marion rushed back to the frontcourt like two sharp blades, and Stoudemire's stride in the middle also rushed back.
"Su Bei received the basketball and drove the ball forward. Hamilton is really good at running. He stood in front of Su Bei, fighting and retreating...
Huh?
Su Bei made a shot, got up from the ball, and hit an unreasonable chasing three-pointer with his hand. Hamilton jumped out and made a defensive move, but it was already too late..."
Swish——!
Su Bei's three-pointer returned.
After scoring 5 points in a row, plus the 7 points in the first quarter, Subei has already scored 12 points.
If you say that Hamilton is the Pistons' defensive flaw, Su Bei's scoring performance can only be regarded as passable.
There is only a 2-point gap between the two sides.
Pistons head coach Sanderson also made personnel adjustments, sending Carlos Delfino and Rasheed onto the court.
At this time, the Pistons' lineup became Rasheed, Prince, Delfino, Hamilton, and Billups.
"The Pistons will push the little prince to the power forward position, which can increase the speed a lot.
The Pistons' perimeter defense will decline, but as a member of the golden generation of the Argento men's basketball team, Delfino's defensive strength is a bit weak, but he will not become the kind of perimeter that can be stabbed by thousands of people..."
Are you polite?
Why don't you just read Nash's ID number? What if he gets stabbed by thousands of people?
Have you eaten your rice?
Not to mention, the Pistons' lineup of one senior and four juniors is used to deal with the Suns' one senior and four juniors. As far as the lineup is concerned, it is indeed very thoughtful. The height advantage will be reduced a bit, but in terms of speed, it is not afraid of competing with the Suns in track and field.
.
Off the court, D'Antoni's face was calm. He was not afraid of copying the Suns' small lineup.
The lineup can be similar, but to be authentic, it has to be the Suns.
On the court, the Pistons don't think too much. Their adjustments are simply to prevent the Suns from playing the offensive offense they are good at. Moreover, their adjustments in this way will not have much impact on the team's offense.
If Wang Feng is half of the Chinese music industry, Billups and Hamilton together are half of the Pistons' offense.
Billups continued to use his strong physique to teach Nash how to behave. After attracting Su Bei's attack, he immediately passed the ball calmly and assisted Hamilton to catch the ball and make a jump shot...
Swish——!
"The king of mid-range shots still dared to leave the ball open. The Suns' defense was so wrong.
It's hard for Hamilton to kill a team with his offensive shots, but he can still easily beat the Suns.
However, Nash couldn't withstand Billups, and Subei's help defense had no choice.
Billups and Hamilton are two bottles of poison, they just choose how to die."
The gap between the two sides was widened by the Pistons by another 4 points.
On the court, the Suns entered the round.
Nash's speed increase was indeed limited.
Billups' defense is not weak. As long as his teammates don't hold him back, it would be a dream for Nash to get out of his hands.
"It's a positional battle again. When playing against the Pistons, the scene won't be very nice. They always like to slow down the speed and then engage in hand-to-hand combat with their opponents. It's not a hand-to-hand fight between men and women, and there's no visual beauty.
It was unrealistic for Nash to challenge Billups alone, so he asked for another cover tactic. Stoudemire pulled out and just got rid of Billups, Nash suddenly made a pull-up three-point jumper..."
Bang-dang——!
Nash struck the iron.
Diaw rushed to get the rebound and made a no-look pass.
In the three-point corner on the right, Su Bei caught the ball, raised it up, and made a three-point shooting gesture. Hamilton rushed over and jumped up suddenly two or three steps away from Su Bei.
"Su Bei collected the ball, waited for Hamilton to pass by, then twisted his waist, jumped up, stayed in the air, raised his hand and made an elegant three-pointer..."
"Su Bei's three-point shooting was too calm and elegant. If this operation was said to be a public punishment for Hamilton, no one would refute it.
The arc drawn by the basketball is as beautiful as the full moon..."
Bang-dang——!
The basketball entered the basket and jumped out again.
this!
Outside the court, there were bursts of laughter and boos.
Su Bei failed to catch this ball.
If you don't commit suicide, you won't die. It's still too wasteful.
If he copied Kevin Martin's work and ran into Hamilton, wouldn't he have made three free throws?
Why should you bet that your shooting pistol has bullets? Now that the pistol is empty, are you dumbfounded?
Surprised or not, unexpected or not?
Billups rushed into the paint, already acting as a doctor, just pretending to grab rebounds. He didn't expect that Larry Brown's "correct basketball" would not deceive him, and there was no possibility of hitting 100% of his shots.
Shooting from the outside is just so unreliable.
With a sudden force under his feet, Billups grabbed the rebound in the air, but as soon as it landed, before he could be happy, a stinging pain came from his left leg.
Oops!
There's a good chance I'm injured.
No.
Not a possibility, but a certainty.
He raised his left leg with a ferocious look on his face, not forgetting to remind his teammates to call a timeout.
"The Pistons called a timeout, something seemed to have happened!
Billups may have strained when he was fighting for rebounds.
This is not worth the loss. The Pistons give up their height advantage inside and let Billups, who usually averages only 3 rebounds per game, rush inside to grab rebounds, which will increase the player's probability of injury.
Of course, this was unexpected, and injuries are also part of the game.
Billups can still move slightly, it's probably just a minor injury.
This may be the good news among the bad news for the Pistons.
There are still three weeks until the playoffs. Compared with reimbursement for the season, a minor injury such as a few days or a week or two of rest is also a blessing for the Pistons..."
Go to hell!
Are these words of comfort?
Can't help but get hurt?
It really doesn’t work, the inertia of history is still quite strong.
In his previous life in Jiangsu Province, Billups played almost all regular games in season after season, one in 80 games and the other in 81 games.
However, he only played 70 games this season and injuries found him, which is why his three-point shooting declined severely.
Billups was briefly checked by the team doctor on the sidelines and was able to move around on his own.
However, the playoffs are approaching, and the Pistons are unlikely to take risks and let Billups continue to play.
Coach Sanders replaced Billups with his 2002 second-round pick, 1.93-meter-tall combo guard Rona Murray.
Without Billups, half of the Pistons' offense would be lost, with only Hamilton left, and he couldn't handle it at all.
Next, Su Bei no longer left Hamilton open and followed him to defend, and his teammates also always assisted in defense.
Ronald Murray's ability to organize and pass is not at the same level as Billups.
Without Billups's organization and passing, Hamilton's special skills of running, catching, running and shooting were completely eliminated.
Although, as the Pistons' top offensive scorer, his teammates will give him the ball, but in terms of comfort level, Billups' passing wave is more comfortable.
Then, Hamilton's shooting began to show off.
Even when he is in a hurry, he has to hold the ball and attack by himself. All of the above are offensive attacks that he is not good at. It's a damn thing if he can shoot well.
Of course, it doesn't matter to the Pistons if they don't perform well offensively. After all, they win games defensively.
However, without Billups, who is both offensive and defensive, the Pistons' defense also has problems. Nash can't beat Billups one-on-one, but there is still no problem in taking out Ronald Murray.
Buzz——!
As the buzzer sounds, the red light lights up, and the game is over.
According to the score, the Suns defeated the Pistons with an 11-point advantage, extending their winning streak to 4 games.
Nash had 4 assists and 4 rebounds, which is quite adequate at the MVP level.
Stoudemire's rebounding data is not that domineering. After all, the opponent's defensive intensity is different, but it is acceptable.
Su Bei scored 23 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, and his performance was really average.
After all, the opponent is Hamilton, and the Pistons' defense is flawless. It is reasonable to score high points. The current 23 points are indeed just passable.
Are you saying that Su Bei only gets an annual salary of 810,000, or that the Heat paid half of it and is just a role player? What else do you want?
Oh, that's disturbing.
Subei's performance is extraordinary.
Hamilton scored 29 points, but the efficiency was not high. Rasheed scored 20 points, Webber scored 17 points, and the remaining players failed to score in double figures. Without Billups' output on both offense and defense, the Pistons lost.
