After getting rid of the shadow of the curse, both Turkoglu and Lewis were finally able to show their strength. After Adrian scored 6 points in a row, the offensive power was handed over to the Detroit Pistons.
Hamilton ran out of the open space. The basketball in Billups' hands was immediately passed to Hamilton's hands. Hamilton caught the ball and shot. Although Bogans had tried hard to keep up with Hamilton, he was still left behind by Hamilton's erratic movement.
Open, a step too slow, and can only watch Hamilton take off and shoot.
However, Hamilton, who had just started the game, had not warmed up yet. This extremely fast catch-and-shoot shot hit the edge of the basket and missed. The ball fell into the hands of Turkoglu, who grabbed it.
The rebound immediately swung toward the frontcourt, and Adrian had already dropped the ball quickly. Prince and Billups worked together to block it. Adrian was not sure of a breakthrough, so he slowed down to be on the safe side.
After crossing the center line in one step, he observed the situation and handed the basketball to Lewis.
Lewis tried it, but Prince was so entangled that Lewis could not find a good opportunity to attack. At this time, Adrian had already started running, slipping from the right baseline to the left baseline. Kwame Brown stood firm for Adrian.
Ann made a supporting pick-and-roll. Kwame Brown's hasty pick-and-roll was not able to completely block Billups' pursuit route. It just detoured. Billups had already bypassed Kwame Brown's pick-and-roll, but
This was enough for Adrian to get one and a half steps away from Billups.
Rashad Lewis immediately thrust the basketball in his hand toward Adrian.[
Prince could only let go of Lewis and pounce on Adrian. At the moment Prince pounced on him, Adrian caught the basketball with a non-stop backhand and passed the basketball back to Lewis's hands.
Rashard Lewis also did not choose to take action because Hamilton had already rushed towards him. Although Hamilton's height made it difficult to defend himself, Lewis still chose to pass the ball because after a tactical move, Turkoglu had already
In a completely empty position.
Turkoglu received the basketball, and Lewis's passing ability was not very good. Turkoglu still needs to adjust when he received the basketball, but he has enough free time, because now he is in a completely open space, and the distance is
Billups, his nearest opponent, is also nearly two steps away.
Taking a serious look at the basket, Turkoglu threw the basketball lightly.
Three point hit!
Adrian followed up by hitting a mid-range shot, and then after clearing the defense at the basket, he lobbed it back to Kwame Brown, who was left open at the basket. Kwame Brown jumped up and dunked with both hands!
13:0!
The Orlando Magic ushered in the best opening situation. Sanders immediately replaced Rasheed Wallace. Now the technical foul on Rasheed Wallace is no longer important. No matter how they continue to fight, the Pistons today
There is no need to play the game. The important thing now is to stabilize the Pistons' defense and slow down the rhythm of the game to the rhythm that the Pistons are used to. Interrupt the Magic's offensive rhythm and make their offense chaotic.
stand up.
The Pistons have not scored for the time being, which does not matter to Sanders. The Pistons have never relied on scoring. As long as the team's defense can be stabilized, the game can be dragged back to the Pistons with muscle and iron-blooded defense.
The team is getting used to the rhythm.
As long as he can control the rhythm, Sanders is confident that he will use the Pistons' iron blood and defense to strangle the Magic.
After Rasheed Wallace came on the court, the Pistons finally broke the 0-score mark, but this time the score had little to do with Rasheed Wallace. In the Magic's half, the Pistons passed the ball back and forth.
Holding the basketball, Prince finally stepped on the three-point line and hit a two-pointer when 24 seconds were almost up.
When Adrian once again took possession of the ball and headed forward, he encountered a lot of resistance. Billups stared at him from the center line. Delayed by Billups, he came to the three-point line.
By this time, more than ten seconds of attack time had passed.
"Is this trying to slow down our offense?"
The slower the offensive pace, the better it is for the Pistons, because they are more accustomed to this slow offensive pace. This is how they have played since the days of Larry Brown, using a slow pace to drag their opponents into muscle combat.
In the quagmire, and then in this quagmire fight, he relied on his rich experience to defeat his opponent.
Adrian didn't do much research on the Pistons, but Stan Van Gundy did a very thorough research on the Pistons. Stan Van Gundy was already familiar with the Pistons' customary style of play and usual methods. Therefore, at this moment, Stan Van Gundy has already
Indicated to Van Weaver to get up and warm up, he was about to make a substitution.
No one else had any good opportunities. Adrian held the ball and observed it. Finally, he waved his hand and signaled his teammates to pull away and decided to play singles.
Against Billups alone, Adrian still has some advantages.
His back was bumped back a few times. Although Billups couldn't withstand Adrian's strength and was knocked away, in the next moment, Billups, who was knocked away, had reattached himself to Adrian, and the Pistons
The team does not produce soft bones, and Larry Brown's iron-blooded style has been imprinted on the bones of this Pistons.
From top to bottom, this Pistons team is notoriously tough. It is simply impossible to make the Pistons players shrink back during physical confrontation.[
Turning around, taking a step forward, Adrian jumped back slightly, opened the distance between him and Billups, and then jumped high. Although there was a huge gap in height, Billups still stretched out his arms tenaciously.
Trying to interfere with Adrian's shooting vision.
Adrian missed the shot and the basketball missed the frame. Marcin Gortat forced his way past Maxis and grabbed the offensive rebound. But after grabbing the rebound, Gortat was hit by
Maxis and Wallace were double-teamed, and there was no chance to take action. Lewis ran to the outside to connect. Gortat passed the basketball in a hurry. Prince had no chance to defend. In Lewis Basketball
Before taking action, he slapped Lewis down from the air.
This foul was so serious that Lewis fell from the sky like a kite with a broken string. Adrian quickly went up to help him, which prevented Lewis from falling to the ground.
"Huh!" Prince came up to apologize with an apologetic look on his face, but Lewis snorted coldly. Without looking at Prince's outstretched hand, he walked directly to the free throw line and prepared to take a free throw. Prince did not
Not caring, he shrugged his shoulders and ran to both sides of the three-second zone to grab rebounds.
Rashad Lewis made one of two free throws, and Stan Van Gundy also completed the substitution, replacing Turkoglu with Van Weaver.
Van Weaver is not a good team player in any aspect. He plays too independently, has too narrow vision, and his understanding of tactics is too weak. However, Van Weaver also has his strengths.
, that is, his ability to fight is particularly good. It is wishful thinking to let him integrate into the team and play tactical offense, but if you let him disrupt the tactics on the court, it is what he is good at. The only thing to worry about is
What's strange is that while he disrupts the opponent's tactics, he often disrupts his own tactics as well.
Therefore, you must be very careful when using Van Weaver. Let him have playing time. After all, it is really inappropriate not to let such a good "chaos" player play. But his playing time cannot be too much.
Long, because it is a double-edged sword, hurting others and hurting yourself even more.
But now, Van Weaver is very suitable to play.
Since the Pistons are deliberately trying to slow down the tempo on the court, and the Magic... Although the Magic have Adrian, a super point guard, the Magic are not very good at controlling the tempo. After all, controlling the tempo
, it cannot be achieved with just one point guard, it must be the cooperation of the entire team.
When it comes to rhythm, the Magic will definitely not be able to compete with the Pistons, so let Van Wever, an attacker with no rhythm, come on the court and completely disrupt the rhythm.
Van Weaver's appearance did have the effect that Stan Van Gundy expected. This talented forward and guard swingman has no tactics and rhythm in his head. Once he gets the ball, his only option is to hit the basket.
There are no teammates in his eyes at all.
If Van Weaver faced a top defensive player with excellent individual defense ability, he would probably be completely frozen by the opponent with his style of play. But the Pistons' main players at shooting guard are
It's Hamilton, who can be said to be the weakest link in the Pistons' overall defense.
The reason why Hamilton was originally sent from the Wizards to the Pistons was because of his "bad defense." After coming to the Pistons to receive the influence and education of Larry Brown, Hamilton's defense has improved, but only to the extent that it is not holding him back.
That’s all.
All in all, his defense is still not very good, not to mention that his main task in the Pistons has never been defense, but offense. He uses his erratic running position and precise catch-and-shoot to hit the opponent's basket. In the Pistons,
The team's overall defense stifled the opponent while using its own shooting to help the Pistons gain a score advantage.
Van Wever's crazy offensive momentum completely disrupted the Pistons' slowing down rhythm. Both offense and defense were very confusing, because you can't predict Van Weaver with normal thinking.
What will Weaver do next? Seeing that the Pistons were somewhat at a loss on the court, Stan Van Gundy was satisfied and replaced Van Weaver.
As long as it works, if Weaver plays for too long, the Magic's rhythm will be completely messed up. (To be continued.)
