Here comes the first update, asking for votes again, please give me some face!!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After playing again, the momentum of the Boston Celtics was completely different. Pierce also warned himself in his heart: Darko has already done a great job, you must do better than him. The same goes for other players.
, a newcomer like Milicic can become more and more courageous when facing the defending champion Detroit Pistons, so why should he belittle himself and hesitate to move forward?
No one talks about Billups' unreasonable shooting, no one talks about Hamilton's engine-like legs and machine-like shooting, no one talks about Prince's defensive coverage, and no one talks about Prince's defensive coverage.
Talk about Rasheed Wallace's unstoppable straight-arm shooting and three-point range...
No matter what you do, stopping complaining is the beginning of success.
The temporarily interrupted game resumed without interrupting the game due to player injuries or conflicts on the field. This is rare in NBA games, but no one would complain about the referee until many years later when some sports reporters regarded it as
When the anecdotes were written, the audience who witnessed it would say: "There is no reason, it's just that that goal was so exciting. It was from that goal that I became a fan of Darko..."
A wonderful dunk can set off a climax on the court for a period of time, but it cannot really determine the game. Larry Brown just reminded the players to calm down. Sure enough, Billups was still slow after returning to the court.
Dribbling the ball forward, no matter what Payton said in front of him, he seemed not to hear it.
Billups held the ball and made a fake shot. Payton was really scared by Billups' shot and rushed to block the shot. At this moment, Billups lowered his body to face Payton.
Falling body, when Payton's hand hit Billups' arm, the referee sounded the whistle for a foul at the right time, but Billups did not stop his action. He jumped to the highest point after taking off
, slightly adjusted his arm, and quickly threw the ball.
Here Payton was still regretting his lack of calm just now, but over there he heard a "swish" sound, Billups' shot hit directly, and the whole audience was silent. The Pistons needed to boost their morale the most.
When a four-point shot came, not only was the advantage of Milicic's wonderful dunk completely gone, but if Billups had made a free throw, the Pistons would have overtaken the Celtics by 2 points.
Billups, who shot 89% from free throws, would not let go of such an opportunity, and he made the free throws steadily.
There are no flashy moves or provocative words, just such a silent transfer of pressure to the opponent. This is the scary thing about the Finals MVP.
Billups raised his head at Payton after making a free throw. This provocative move made Payton furious. If he were three to four years younger, he would definitely hit Billups on the head.
Score a few goals to regain this face, but now Payton is no longer the boss of the Sonics. He is just a middle-class veteran who has bounced around various teams. He has more than enough ambition but not enough energy. No matter how he ranks the point guard
, at least in the two years after the year the Pistons won the championship, Billups was the best point guard in the league, and there was no one.
Rivers could see Payton's helplessness and quickly replaced Banks on the court. Aging in competitive sports is something that no one can resist. If a big man gets old, he can still rely on his tonnage and experience in the paint.
If a small man can make some contributions to the team, it will be even more fatal for a small man to lose his flexibility.
Banks, who controls the ball on the court, is just waiting for a jump shot or a breakthrough point on the offensive end. In the frontcourt, Rivers trusts the internal and external connections of Pierce and Milicic more. In Rivers' view, these two
An individual may create a dynasty like O'Neal and Kobe Bryant.
After Pierce received the ball, Prince came to defend him. Prince is 2.06 meters tall, but his wingspan has reached 2.20 meters that many centers dream of. This makes many people feel uncomfortable when facing his defense.
He will be extremely uncomfortable when playing. Although Pierce has scored more than 20 points in the first half, Pierce's shooting percentage is really not very high, only 39%. High scoring is based on high shots.
Pierce had always hoped to get rid of this situation. He needed to make several attacks to release himself. At this time, he held the ball with one hand and made a gesture with the other hand. The team's 1-4 was opened. He wanted to single out Prince.
Personal ability is strong.
The Pistons obviously won't use zone defense to stop Pierce's isolation, because they are too confident in Prince's defensive ability. His help defense often makes the inside center overwhelmed, and his one-on-one defensive ability is even more difficult.
It's amazing that James was sniped by the Pistons several times in later generations, and it was also thanks to Prince's defense.
After opening up the space, Pierce lowered his center of gravity, and the basketball moved lower and lower, even to the point where the ball bounced to about the height of his ankle. Every move he made might be a fake move, and Prince did not dare to be careless at all.
, here Pierce is dribbling the ball in his hand and still saying: "You are like an ape, this is a basketball court, there are no bananas, do you still want to guard me?"
Prince has been being attacked with trash talk by Pierce this game, but he never seemed to hear it. No one can shake his will in defense. He will not be provoked to take risky steals. He just
Like a big octopus, it keeps its prey firmly within control.
Seeing that Prince didn't respond, Pierce suddenly moved his weight to the right. When Prince followed suit, Pierce's right wrist flicked, and the ball passed under his crotch and returned to the control of his left hand.
When Prince changed his center of gravity again, he also changed his appearance again. Just when Prince was completely dodged, Pierce suddenly and unexpectedly took half a step back and shot a slightly backward jumper. Although the previous action was done in one go,
But Pierce had no time to aim at the basket. The ball hit the side of the basket, hit the backboard, and gradually fell.
Eight arms under the backboard were scrambling for the rebound. Milicic jumped the highest, but his position was not good. He moved up, then landed and jumped again. Although Milicic, who is 2.16 meters tall,
He is taller than the other three, but his bullet speed is the best, which even the smallest Ben Wallace cannot compare with.
In the end, Milicic jumped up to grab the rebound before several people could fully take off, and quickly passed it to the outside. After receiving the ball, Pierce did not waste the opportunity and hit a mid-range shot.
The two sides were tied again, and the game was still stalemate.
