Chapter 134 Future Opponent

Thanks to Eva Meteor for the reward. Why is your registration still unchanged?

------------segmentation----

Edison and Rachel were fighting on the court, and the sweat of the two people filled every corner of the bedroom, living room and bathroom. On the other side, the 76ers and Pistons were also breathing heavily, fighting hand-to-hand, and the arena was "squeaking."

"The sound is endless.

As Edison said before, the 76ers' failure to take a 3-0 lead before Billups came back was their biggest mistake. When Billups came back, even though Rasheed Wallace was missing, Mike

Dais can take over his position, and the Pistons' lineup is relatively neat.

The Pistons are different from other teams. They do not rely on stars to drive the team forward, but rely on the cooperation of the whole team. The entire team is like a rigorous machine, and everyone is a part in the machine. Big

The original is the main shaft, Wallace is the flywheel, Prince is the track, Hamilton is the valve, Billups is the transmission rod, and the substitutes are the gears.

Although it is said that the team comes first and everyone is equal, in fact, the importance is divided into levels. In defense, Ben is the core. Without him, the Pistons' defensive rotation may still be excellent, but it is not iron-blooded and hard enough. In offense, compared with

Lupus is the core.

In fact, there are only two people in the Pistons' lineup who can create offensive opportunities on their own. One is the roaring God Wallace, and the other is Billups. However, Wallace's assist ability is not good, and generally the Pistons do not need him to create opportunities unless

It's because other people can't play anymore, so give him the ball and let him play in isolation. Billups is the controller of the Pistons' offense. He is a calm version of Deron Prince. He is the one who makes the three-pointer.

The sudden points attracted double-teams and passed out, and Hamilton's mid-range shot also relied on his timely distribution of the ball. So without Billups, the Pistons' offense was just a showpiece. Although the pick-and-roll screen and other things were still done well, but

It lacks the efficiency of recruiting blood.

As for the 76ers, although Iverson once again won the regular season scoring title, he and Webber still did not fit together perfectly.

Iverson's long-range shooting ability is not good, and the main means of scoring is breakthrough, so Webber hits the ball, Iverson cannot make long shots, and Webber occupies a lot of space in the penalty area, which to a certain extent gives Iverson

The breakthrough increases the difficulty.

On the contrary, the two people lead the team separately. Whether it is Webber's mysterious passing as the central axis or Iverson's lightning-fast points, they can create a lot of opportunities for Luol Deng and Korver on the outside.

The effect produced by Iverson and Webber is 1+1<2, so after Billups came back, the 76ers began to gradually become unable to bear it.

First, they were counterattacked by the Pistons 86-94 at home and tied the score to 2-2. Then they were beaten again at Auburn Hills and lost another game 99-90. The Pistons won the battle of Tianwangshan and won the championship.

point.

Because the Pistons had an overall advantage in the previous two games, overwhelming the 76ers, so even though it was an away game, public opinion believed that this game would bring an end to the series.

After finishing his personal affairs, Edison and his fat shadow assistant Thibodeau also appeared in the stands of this game. No matter how good the TV broadcast is, some important details on the field will be missed. Only close observation can understand it more intuitively.

The entire process of the game.

However, at this time, the physical fitness of the Pistons generals has begun to have problems. If the 76ers can take advantage of this, there may not be no hope.

There are no adjustments to the starting lineups of the two teams today. The 76ers team Iverson and Luol Deng partnered in the backcourt, power forward Webber, small forward Korver, center Samuel Dalembert. The Pistons team Hamilton,

Billups, Prinz and Ben Wallace are immovable, Tianzun is still suspended, and McDyess will replace him...

In the opening stage of the first quarter, the 76ers played very proactively at home. The word "fight" was written on almost every 76ers player's face. Shortly after Webb opened the scoring with a layup, Korver hit a three-pointer.

Helped the 76ers get a good start 7-3.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Prince Prince was in good condition today. He first hit 5 consecutive points to help the Pistons take the lead quickly, and then with 4 minutes and 03 seconds left in the first quarter, he received another pass from Billup.

After Si's free throw, he dribbled the ball for a layup and caused Luo Deng to block and foul. After an extra penalty, the Pistons continued to lead 24-20. Billups then hit a three-pointer to help the Pistons expand their lead.

to 10 minutes.

"It seems that the 76ers are out of luck in this game. The Pistons were confused for a while but immediately stabilized their position. Their defense is still so perfect, completely blocking the 76ers' offensive line." Thibodeau nodded secretly while watching the Pistons' defense.

.

"The winner will not be determined so easily. I think Iverson will explode in this game." Edison gave a different answer.

"Why?"

"First of all, do you feel that Iverson's aura is particularly strong today? He has completely suppressed Webber and completely taken over the team. Moreover, McDyess is not in good condition today. He was slow to help defend and cover several times.

, His legs feel like they have added weight. This is just the beginning, and if it comes to the second half, he will definitely be worse. At that time, Iverson can take the path from the 3-point line from the weak side wing to the basket."

As soon as he finished speaking, Iverson, just like Edison said, accelerated past Billups at the wing three-point line, and then went to the basket for a layup. The Pistons failed to score in the last attack, and the 76ers led 24-24.

The first quarter ended with 8 points behind 32.

After the start of the second quarter, the 76ers completely controlled the rhythm, and Iverson ushered in the first outbreak of the game. He first provided two consecutive assists and a breakthrough layup, helping the team quickly narrow the point difference to 5

Within 10 points. When there were 4 points left in the second quarter, he received an assist from Green and made a jump shot, scoring a game-high 17 points. At this time, the 76ers were only 4 points behind the visiting team 42-46. However, Ben Zhonghua

Rice unexpectedly scored 11 points and had 7 rebounds in the first half. His scoring explosion helped the Pistons stabilize the situation and always lead the opponent.

Near the end of the second quarter, Iverson hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer to help the 76ers close the score, and ended the first half trailing only 3 points, 51-54.

The Pistons had 4 players score in double figures in the first half alone, perfectly embodying the essence of team basketball. Printz led the way with 15 points, Ben Wallace had 11 points and 7 rebounds, and McDyess had 10 points.

Hamilton had 10 points and 7 assists, and Billups had 6 points.

The 76ers played a typical star style, with Iverson putting on a lone hero performance. The "Answer" scored a first-half high of 17 points and 6 assists, and was the team's top scorer many times.

Key shots were made at dangerous moments. Weber also scored 10 points, and Samuel Dalembert, the top scorer, only had 8 points.

After the start of the third quarter, Edison's prediction began to come true, the Pistons' physical fitness began to collapse, and McDyess could no longer jump.

Iverson is not a soft-hearted guy. He will attack you if you can't do it, helping the 76ers take the opportunity to achieve a lead. The Pistons were not willing to take the lead. Billup was the only starter who failed to score in double figures in the first half.

Si soon scored 5 points in a row to help the Pistons maintain their lead.

But when the game entered the third quarter with 5 minutes and 02 seconds left, the 76ers successfully narrowed the point difference 70-72 to 2 points.

At this time, Iverson once again detonated the audience.

After Prince received the ball from Billups, he faced Korver's backhand and had no chance to attack, so he planned to pass the ball back to Billups. But Iverson was like a cheetah squatting on his prey.

Just like that, he suddenly appeared on the flight path of the basketball and hit the ball.

But Prince's pass was very powerful. After Iverson hit it, it did not fly towards the Pistons' half, but flew out diagonally...

Billups and Iverson would definitely not be able to compete for speed, but Billups was very smart. He kept blocking Iverson with his shoulder, preventing him from running, and waiting for the ball to go out of bounds.

But Iverson is known as the "Indomitable Fighter", and now it is a game that determines life and death, so naturally he will not give up. So after the ball flew out of the court, Billups stopped, but he did not stop, but continued to chase after it.

. After catching up with the ball, he twisted his body and hit the ball into Billups' legs, saving the ball. However, he fell hard into the audience.

Although this ball is not as visually impactful as Rodman flying parallel to the ground to save the ball, Iverson's desire for victory in this ball infected everyone present, and the home fans went crazy.

applauded him for this save.

"The 76ers are sure to win." Edison concluded early after watching the ball. "The team leader takes the lead and fights hard. How dare the rest of the team not fight? The morale of the 76ers has been completely boosted. The Pistons are out of business."

Sure enough, 1 minute later, Rogers and Iverson counterattacked and scored 4 points in a row. The 76ers successfully led the Pistons by 2 points.

However, the Pistons are a team that has experienced the baptism of the finals. Until the last 4 seconds of the third quarter, Ben Wallace dunked under the basket to regain 2 points. The Pistons still trailed the 76ers by 2 points, 78-80, entering the third quarter.

Four sections.

In the last quarter of the game, the two teams entered a fierce state. Big Ben Wallace continued his heroic performance in the first three quarters and quickly scored the visiting team's highest 23 points and set a personal record high by the way, helping the Pistons only win 86-87.

1 point behind the home team.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Webb, who had been completely covered by Iverson's light in the previous three quarters, finally began to show his fangs.

Because McDyess really couldn't hold it anymore. Although he wanted to guard against Webber, his movements could no longer keep up with his thoughts. Every time, he kept looking at where he should go, but there was no way. Webber continued to

The high jump shot scored his 15th point of the day and helped the 76ers widen the point difference to 96-89 with 5 minutes and 57 seconds left in the game.

After this ball, Larry Brown quickly applied for a timeout.

Edison and Thibodeau looked at the Pistons' layout carefully. At this time, the team must have used their ability to press the bottom of the box and no longer hide it. It is very valuable for reference.

"What kind of play do you think Brown will arrange?" Thibodeau asked Edison.

"I don't know. But if it were me, I wouldn't arrange a long shot, but hit it towards the basket to ensure that the ball will definitely go in."

Sure enough, after the timeout, the Pistons made Billups, who had the strongest physical strength, force the ball toward the basket. Unfortunately, due to the interference of Samuel Dalembert, the ball did not go in.

After changing the ball, Iverson received a pass from Weber and made a jump shot, scoring a game-high 35 points.

As Hamilton missed another jump shot, Larry Brown replaced all the main players with 4 minutes left in the game. However, 76ers head coach Jimmy O'Brien still let the main players play for one minute and replaced them with substitutes.

, the remaining 3 minutes were completely reduced to garbage time.

Iverson played 45 minutes in Game 6. He made 15 of 26 shots and 5 of 6 free throws. He scored a game-high 37 points and 15 assists to achieve a double-double.

Among them, 15 assists were only one away from his personal single-game assist record. Webber had 19 points and 6 rebounds, Samuel Dalembert had 14 points and 10 rebounds, Luol Deng had 13 points, and came off the bench.

Rogers also scored 15 points. Only small forward Korver had 9 points and 5 fouls and his performance was sluggish.

"Big Ben" Wallace of the Pistons made 11 of 17 shots today and 7 of 9 free throws. He scored a career-high 29 points and 16 rebounds in a single game.

Rice's life. His previous highest record of 22 points dates back to a regular season game against the Hornets on December 4 last year. In addition, Hamilton had 14 points and 12 assists, Billups had 15 points, and Prinz

19 points, and McDyess, who replaced the Roaring God, also scored 15 points. Unfortunately, the other four bench players performed abnormally and only scored 2 points in total, which was shocking.

In the end, the 76ers staged a comeback at home with a score of 115-104, seizing the match point.

However, what impressed Edison most in this game was not Iverson's outburst, but Larry Brown's decisive decision. In such a crucial game like the playoff match point, he dared to make strategic moves in order to save his energy.

Giving up, Edison asked himself that he couldn't do this.

"I hope Iverson can break out again in the next game, kill the Pistons and join us."
