The players on Big Ben's team are better at defense than offense. Big Ben, Prince, and Hunter are all the top defensive players in the NBA. In the next few years, the Pistons faced James from the Cavaliers.
It is Prince who defends James alone, which is enough to illustrate Prince's ability. The veteran Hunter was once called the successor of "Smiling Assassin" Isaiah Thomas. His defense and experience can bring great benefits to the team.
He was a huge help. The Lakers and Pistons won the championship thanks to his piece of the championship puzzle.
Facing such an inside-out defensive line, it is indeed difficult to break through, but after a few rounds, people who didn't understand it all understood it, and I felt like I was playing a one-on-one game with Ben and Milicic.
Milicic was the first to fight with Ben in the paint. Just as McDyess was about to come over to help defend, Ben came up with a GOOUT, which made McDyess feel bad for his good intentions.
But Larry Brown on the sidelines had no intention of stopping these two people. This was far from his usual style of extremely strict discipline requirements.
Milicic received the ball in the three-second zone, and no one guarded Billups' passing route. Rasheed, McDyess and others also wisely retreated to around the three-point line.
Watching these two people fight one another.
Milicic raised the ball to the height of his chest and tested Big Ben's strength with his back. This guy's strength is really genuine and his feet are very solid. Milicic does not have an advantage in strength, but the two
There is a 13 cm height difference in bare feet. This huge gap cannot be made up by hard work. Milicic swayed twice, but Ben did not stumble. Milicic was close enough to the basket and took advantage of the situation.
Hook shot, Ben can't interfere with this kind of ball at all, he can only watch the ball hit.
If the hook technique is close enough to the basket, two people of similar heights will basically be unable to guard against it, let alone Ben and Milicic, who have a big gap in height and wingspan. To deal with the hook, you have to be a defender.
Come over to interfere, or someone else will cover and block shots. In the past, Ben also suffered a lot of such losses when he was defending Yao Ming alone. He was beaten by Yao Ming almost every time.
Although Ben is the four-time Defensive Player of the Year, his defensive prowess does not lie in single defense. He has strong awareness of positioning, rebounding and assisting defense. And the most important thing is that he has an unyielding attitude toward defenders.
Hard work. However, one-on-one defense is indeed not his strong point. A master in one-on-one defense must not lose too much in terms of physical talent. Even a pervert with a physical fitness like Rodman still cannot deal with a super power forward with a perfect physique. Rod
Mann and Pippen's harassment only caused Malone's statistics to drop a bit lower than usual.
Therefore, Ben directly let Milicic enter the three-second zone for single defense, and he suffered a big loss from the beginning. If NBA players are not particularly bad at offense, their offensive shooting percentage will basically be very high in one-on-one situations. Unless they are big players
Ben and Hayes exploded at each other, and it is possible that they can guard each other.
After Milicic scored a goal, he switched to Ben to attack. Ben was at the pinnacle of offensive skills when he was with the Bulls, but he still lacked the means. It was quite difficult for him just from dribbling.
.However, this goal has to be attacked. Milicic took one here. If he doesn't return it, he will be really embarrassed.
Milicic didn't give Ben the chance to get into such a deep position. He pushed him two steps outside the three-second zone. Ben was trying to break through but not make a breakthrough. He wanted to make a mid-range shot but not a mid-range shot. He was anxious.
Sweat was pouring down his long face, and Milicic didn't understand why this big brother bothered to do such a thing.
Here, Hamilton reacted quickly enough. He threw Delfino away and ran to the free throw line, shouting for Ben to get the ball. Ben thought that this embarrassment would be better than being blocked by Milicic.
Quite a few, he passed the ball directly to Hamilton, and Hamilton succeeded in a mid-range shot.
After the ball scored, Rasheed picked up the ball, limped towards Brown, and said: "Larry, I feel some pain in my legs. It's the first day of training. Let's not be so intense, or else -
Stop comparing yourself."
Larry Brown also didn’t want to embarrass Ben too much. It would not be conducive to the unity of the team if this continues. But Ben failed to teach Milicic a lesson this time. From now on, the knot will be deeper, but there is such a thing as team conflicts.
It exists in any team in any league, and it is impossible to completely control it.
In order to calm down Ben's mentality, Larry Brown said to Milicic: "Did you execute the tactics when you attacked just now? Who asked you to open the singles? You must know that you have no such opportunity to attack during the game.
, do you think team training is child’s play?”
Originally, before the Olympics, although Larry Brown criticized Milicic a lot, he was always wrong about the situation and the person. However, the Dream Six Team he brought to the Olympics was defeated by this kid, and the coach's formation was also criticized by media experts.
The criticism was that he had just won the first NBA championship in his life and suffered a big discount.
Human psychology is like this. No matter what considerations you have before, as long as this person hurts you in terms of actual interests, your favorability towards him will naturally decrease.
"But..." Milicic's impression of Brown after his rebirth was that of a rigid but fair old man, but he did not expect that he would be partial in handling this matter.
Big Ben originally had a very detached status in the Pistons, but it was only after Brown took over that he pointed out his leadership status, and many players recognized him as the boss. Hamilton came in exchange for Pistons star Stackhouse, and Lashi
De Wallace is even more of a star player, but none of these people can shake Ben's status in the team because of Brown's instructions.
It can be said that the existence of Big Ben is also an authoritative representative of Brown. If it were Milicic in the past, it would be fine. At this time, Brown had a rift with Milicic. The thought in his heart was that Milicic did not use the Pistons after winning the Olympic gold medal.
In the eyes of these people on the team, they actually challenged their own authority.
Brown doesn't like anyone who challenges his authority. Iverson, Marbury, Francis and others are living examples. Even if you don't do anything to him, he will hate it from the bottom of his heart despite being a character player. Millisi
Qi's defense also made Brown feel like he was talking back.
Brown yelled at Milicic: "Nothing, if you have extra energy, just do 300 push-ups! Go! Now!"
Milicic thought of his disgusting director in his previous life, and never imagined that he could not escape such unfair treatment after reincarnation. He wanted to say something, but Billups stopped him and said not to say any more.
Milicic, who was doing push-ups on the side, had an idea in his mind - get away from the Pistons! And after the seeds of this idea were planted, they grew irresistibly.
