When Milicic faced off against McDyess, he still remembered his fear of him at the beginning of his rebirth. Many times, a person's performance depends on the adjustment of his mentality. In fact, Milicic's ability in his previous life was not bad.
When he plays well, he can easily get 20+10, but when he plays poorly, he even feels like a high school student.
In the past, Milicic often did not read the defense at all during the game. He turned around and hooked the ball very irritably without looking at the distance between the defender and himself and the basket. Sometimes he was too eager for success and moved too quickly.
It is not sufficient, so the skills are not put into good use. When facing peers or people with much lower abilities than oneself, one does not need to read the game, but when facing some opponents who are even stronger than oneself, one does not need to read the game.
You can't just rely on talent to succeed.
Now Milicic can face anyone except those top insiders very calmly. Now he is facing McDyess, squeezing him with his body while lowering his center of gravity and dribbling with his left hand to break through.
, McDyess tried his best to control his pace and follow Milicic, and also tried to push Milicic with force to make him dribble slower.
Milicic suddenly turned around and hooked out. McDyess subconsciously jumped up to block the shot, but before turning around, Milicic had already passed the ball with his right hand while holding the ball with both hands. The hook with his left hand was just an action.
, because Milicic's body is relatively large, it blocks the view of some players on the court, so when Milicic made a hook move and McDyess jumped to block the shot, everyone was stunned. Only those who caught the ball
Tony Allen knew what was going on. He slipped the baseline to disrupt the Pistons' defense. He didn't expect the ball to reach him, but he was the fastest to react. He quickly completed a layup directly under the basket.
this attack.
Even the spectators on the sidelines did not see what was going on with this goal. After the ball went into the dead ball, the players on the two teams were surprisingly unified. The Pistons players did not serve quickly to start the attack, and the Celtics players did not
There was no rush to return to defense. Everyone was watching the slow-motion replay of the previous goal on the big screen above the arena, and even the referee was following along.
In the slow motion, Milicic's whole body movements are all in preparation for the hook, all done in one go, except for a slight flick of his wrist with his right hand in the middle. The ball is blocked by his own body and passes from McDyess the moment he jumps.
The ball was passed under the crotch. If it was a goal earlier or later, it would have been a mistake. It was simply wonderful. After seeing this goal clearly, all the Auburn Hills fans actually cheered for Milicic.
Come.
The commentators on the sidelines were saying: "Dakko's assist just now has transformed basketball into an art form. There is no doubt that he is a genius and he deserves his pick. If there is another draft,
Chances are, maybe he will become the No. 1 pick."
In fact, it is easier for post players to do more assists. Post players who like to pass the ball and have that kind of skills and awareness can always average about 5 assists per game. When Brad Miller was old and in the Bulls
There will still always be a stroke of genius, the inside field of vision is relatively wide, and the ability to control the running route of the whole team is stronger when serving as the axis.
In fact, Milicic's passing skills in his previous life were also very good. He also had such vision, but he was always unable to handle the ball correctly due to his impatience. His basketball IQ was not as high as it seemed on the surface.
People say he is as brainless as Swift. Mainly because he is white and looks very smart.
After his rebirth, his calmness in handling the ball was something he never had before. Many players entered the league in their teens and twenties, and their mentality was far inferior to Milicic who was struggling in China.
In this game, Milicic played more like Nash later, focusing on passing, but no one dared to ignore his offense. Once Milicic was pulled out, the entire Pistons defense could not tighten up too much.
There are big men in a team who can shoot three-pointers, which is very effective in disrupting the opponent's defensive arrangement. For example, when the Jazz faced the Rockets in the playoffs, the Rockets' defense was due to Okur's three-pointers and Boozer.
Er's mid-range shooting was disrupted, coupled with Deron and Boozer's pick-and-roll cooperation and the steady contributions of Kirilenko and Halprin, the Rockets were finally defeated.
The current Pistons are very uncomfortable with Milicic's offensive method. Although the Pistons players are definitely capable of cracking it, they are not that fast. At least there is no particularly suitable candidate in Larry Brown's mind.
It would not be good if we insist on letting Milicic shoot from the outside. This season, Milicic shot a total of 41 three-pointers, hitting 19 of them, with a three-point shooting rate of close to 50%. Although he
All of his shots are open, and the shots are not fast, but leaving him alone is not an option, especially since the Celtics' point guard this time is no longer Gary Payton, but a three-pointer.
The ball was accurately directed by Derek Fisher, which made it impossible for the Pistons to resolutely defend the zone defense they were good at.
During this period, Larry Brown tried to use Prince to defend Milicic in a misplaced position. Milicic was indeed contained, but Pierce performed well. It must be said that the Pistons' depth is no longer as good as
In the year when he won the championship, the departure of Okur, Mike James and others still had an impact on him, and also paved the way for the Pistons to be unable to defend the title.
In the final stage of the game, the Pistons implemented a 14-zone defense and launched a wave of offensive climax, but it started too late. In the end, the Celtics still won the game 101-95.
Milicic had 17 rebounds, 7 assists, 5 blocks and 2 steals in the game. He did not make any shot in the game to help the Celtics win the defending championship. This was also the first time Milicic did not score in a game this season.
, no one thought that Milicic would use such a method to give the Pistons a fierce counterattack.
The defeat in this game was not the fault of the players, but that Larry Brown fell behind in the contest with Rivers. The weaknesses of the academic's stubbornness and poor adaptability were completely exposed in this game.
Come out, this also gives more inspiration to teams who want to beat the Pistons.
Milicic entered the Palace of Auburn Hills in tears, but left here with a smile on his face. The most glorious period of the Pistons has passed, and the excitement of Boston has just begun. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster
