MTL - Basketball: Start with the Neuroknife-Chapter 128 Wallace with a broken mentality and the Magic team with all their cards
"Defense!"
"Defense!"
"Defense!"
Just listening to the cheers of the Magic fans in the audience, it's easy to think that this is the last few minutes of the game.
But actually…
It's less than 3 minutes to start!
The blushing Magic fans thought the same as the Magic players who fought against the Pistons with high intensity on the court!
Treat every minute of this game as if it were the last minute!
In the last game, the Pistons were just starting out. The high-intensity confrontation coupled with the suffocating defense directly stunned the newcomers of the Magic.
And now, the Magic want to give everything back!
How did you beat us in the last game, then how will we beat you this time!
is it hard?
Disaster!
But what the Magic are doing, isn't it a difficult thing to do?
Billups crossed the three-point line with Hamilton and watched the person in front of him change from Li Wan to Bogans. He no longer looked for his teammates, but threw himself into his personal offense. .
Continuous dribbling changed the rhythm, and then, Billups suddenly started, made a breakthrough and made an emergency stop, forced Bogans back, and successfully hit a jumper.
This was the Pistons' first goal of the game.
What is a "big heart"!
Why call me "Mr. Key"!
Billups proved his ability with this one shot.
The Magic still had Li Wan with the ball, and as he approached the three-point line, Wallace felt that Howard was getting more and more excited behind him.
"Warcraft"'s lower body strength is not the top in the league, at least in front of Yao Ming and O'Neal, his top defense and under-the-basket back play are "younger brother".
Do not!
"The younger brother of the younger brother"!
Rasheed Wallace's lower limbs are not as good as the two above, but he should have a certain advantage over "Warcraft".
Just now...
He can't stand a bit...
I rely on, what's the situation!
Did you take the wrong medicine?
He had to increase his strength to fight Howard.
And at this time, Li Wan moved!
Because of his mid-range shot, Billups had to keep a closer distance with Li Wan, especially when Li Wan stepped into the three-point line, he had to get a little closer.
Li Wan just seized the gap, exerted force under his feet, and gave him one step at a time.
When Wallace reacted, Li Wan had already stepped on the line in the reasonable collision zone and jumped.
but…
The inside line of the Pistons is not just Wallace!
Next to McDyess, he returned to the anti-shrinking formation in time.
"How dare you let it go!"
If McDyess took a serious look when he rushed over, he would have found that Li Wan took the initiative to find a confrontation with him after jumping up, and he did not hold the ball high, preparing for a layup or dunk.
This is "bait" in itself!
Li Wan, who was jumping in the air, shook his small hand, and the ball flew straight from McDyess' side to Lewis, who was ambush in the bottom corner.
The 10th "Mr. Billion Dollar" in Lao Tzu's NBA history...
You really think I don't exist!
let me go, right?
The bullet is loaded, and a hundred paces pass through Yang!
The score is 10-2!
Sanders had to call a timeout.
This move once again stimulated the fans at the scene.
Before the start of the game, they shouted excitedly, and as the game started, they continued to use their shouts to convey enthusiasm to the players of the Magic team.
But even they did not expect that the Magic, who returned to the Amway Arena tonight, would press the Pistons so hard!
If you change the jerseys of the two teams in this game, you will find that…
This game is completely replicating the opening of the previous game.
The magic team...
Growing up so fast!
That's what Sanders is thinking at the moment.
In the last game, the Pistons crushed the team alive. He thought that it should be able to frustrate the spirit of the team to a certain extent.
Unexpectedly, these guys are indomitable!
Not only does it not falter…
The ability to learn is fast!
So quickly, learned the Pistons' high-intensity defense.
Also used it!
Sanders didn't think it was wrong. During the replay yesterday, in addition to pointing out the problems of each player one-on-one, what Stan Van Gundy let the players see the most was the Pistons' starting defense. .
Everyone knows that defense is good or bad, physical fitness is not fundamental, enthusiasm and energy will make up for these problems to the greatest extent.
Are the Pistons defensively strong?
powerful!
But is it really unbreakable?
not necessarily!
Ben Wallace is the core figure of this team's defense, and his departure will have an inevitable impact on the entire defense of the Pistons.
The timely supplementary defense of the inside players, in this Pistons team, can no longer be suffocating.
Otherwise, even if LeBron breaks out, in the fourth quarter of Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals last season, it is impossible for him to break through the interior again and again to complete the score.
Any team with a top-level rim protection ability on the inside would be impossible for a guy who can only break through to play such an attacking power.
Just look at the Spurs in the 2007 Finals.
More of the Pistons are relying on that energy to work hard!
Whether it's on offense or defense...
"They have their energy, we have ours!"
These were the last words Stan Van Gundy said after the recap yesterday.
In short, one word: fight!
How fierce they are, how fierce is the Magic today!
It turns out...
The Pistons will be stunned!
However, it is not yet the time to breathe a sigh of relief.
The game has just started, is an 8-point lead called a lead?
Keep fighting!
The game restarts.
The Pistons once again showed their great ability to adjust.
In the first round, Hamilton took a tactical cover and completed a mid-range jumper.
4-10!
Also changing is their entire defensive strategy for the Magic.
The last set of targeted defensive methods based on the characteristics of the Magic players' playing style, it's here again!
And, after another day of training, is getting more and more proficient!
Lewis made his second 3-pointer, and McDyess was waiting for his meal when he caught the ball.
Successfully interfered!
Rasheed Wallace scored a rebound in the confrontation.
When he learned that tonight's basket was "not right", he regained his form and was able to "five to five" with Howard at the basket again.
Howard protected their rebounds last possession, and this time around, he also protected the Pistons' rebounds.
Billups quickly counterattacked with the ball, or Hamilton's shot after going around the screen...
Miss!
With the cooperation of Wallace, McDyess grabbed the rebound and scored a shot from close range!
After the Pistons' goal, the Magic's lead at the start was also tied by the Pistons.
"Rookie, see? This is the biggest difference between us and you. Basketball doesn't lie, and a little trick will eventually be broken by hard power!"
Wallace began to curse.
Sanders off the court also glanced at Stan Van Gundy on the other side with a satisfied smile.
did you see?
This is the adjustment ability of a team that has reached the Eastern Conference finals 5 times in a row!
Want to kill us with a stick?
I really thought we were weak chickens like Menglong!
However, to his surprise, Stan Van Gundy did not stand on the sidelines and yell as usual.
He remembers the last game, Stan Van Gundy almost screamed smoke!
This…
a bit anomalous...
Q: Under what circumstances does a coach with a hot style of coaching suddenly become quiet.
Sanders thinks: Could it be that he has lost confidence?
But in fact, he forgot that there was another possibility.
That is…
nervous!
When people are nervous, they tend to be different than usual.
People who talk less are likely to chatter.
People who talk a lot may "silence is golden".
Stan Van Gundy, that's it.
He is nervous!
because…
The next performance of the Magic will determine the direction of this game.
Stan Van Gundy never thought they could kill the Pistons with one stick!
No team has done it, and neither can the Magic...
Since you can't kill you with one stick, you can get a few more sticks!
On the field, Li Wan gave the ball to Turkoglu.
The Pistons' entire defense immediately became a 2-1-2 formation.
Because the Turks especially like to give perimeter players.
They need to maximize the expansion of the defensive formation, and timely stick to the Magic players who receive the ball from the outside, especially Li Wan and Lewis.
Data feedback that they are the most likely…
"Bah!"
The Pistons' attention was being attracted by the movement of Li Wan and Lewis, when Turkoglu suddenly threw the ball towards the basket.
Stan Van Gundy convinced him that there was no problem at the rim that Howard couldn't.
Howard also proved that above the basket, there is really no ball that he can't catch!
A "Sakuragi Flower Road" style catches the ball with both hands.
There was also a brief stagnation in the body...
Then he smashed the ball into the basket while Rasheed Wallace stared blankly. - His attention was also on Li Wan and Lewis, ready to make up for defense at any time.
The temperature of the site, which had been slightly cooled, has risen again!
Just like the fire that Zhuge Liang set in the upper valley, a cloud of white smoke suddenly engulfed the entire arena.
"Defense!"
"Defense!"
"Defense!"
The passion for shouting was rekindled.
Especially Li Wan and Howard.
Billups couldn't hold the ball from the three-point line at all, because Li Wan was constantly creating confrontation, so he had to focus on Li Wan's two long arms.
At this moment, Billups can be considered to have discovered that Li Wan's length is comparable to Prince's!
Wallace even looked ugly.
He held the energetic Howard behind him and held his position reluctantly.
Can…
He felt something hard against him.
At first, Wallace thought that Howard played with a stick.
wait for him to react...
He was instantly speechless!
This Nima!
He could feel Howard's enthusiasm and excitement tonight.
But…
What the heck is a confrontation?
You are so poisonous!
The world is too crazy, and Wallace, who has his back to Howard, doesn't dare to pout easily.
"Bang!"
Hamilton misses a mid-range jumper.
When Howard, who was standing behind Wallace, jumped up, he turned around and pushed Wallace out without a trace.
Wallace, who didn't have a big butt, couldn't stand at all. With such a push, he fell out, and Howard easily grabbed the defensive rebound.
He turned his head and gave Wallace a fiery look!
If there is no contact just now, Wallace will definitely think that this is provoking him.
But in the confrontation just now, what he felt, let him know very clearly...
This grandson is not provoking him!
Rather...
Really miss him!
I*…
Wallace has always been a passionate defender and antagonist.
But he really has no love!
Also, even if you are passionate, can you be so excited just by playing a ball?
He also didn't know that Howard had just opened the door to a new world.
What is freshness!
Wallace shook his head speechlessly, and Sanders next to him looked at him and cursed, "What are you soft on, Rasheed? Be tougher, be tougher, your defense is not as tough as your trash talk!"
Li Wan passed by, and when he heard this, he shouted with conviction: "That's soft enough, softer than Gary Payton's diarrhea that day!"
He was actually a little bit curious.
Although Howard had the upper hand with his "little tricks" on the basket at first, Li Wan soon found out that Wallace saw the clue and fought Howard again.
But this round, obviously softened...
Not so soon! ?
Should not be!
Although Howard is the "rebounding king" this season, his dominance of the basket should not have reached the level of the first-order.
What Li Wan didn't expect was that Rasheed Wallace looked at him angrily, but didn't say a word. His expression meant that his mentality was somewhat broken.
This…
what the hell?
With so many doubts in his heart, after halftime, he forgot about it, refocused, and leaned towards Billups with the ball.
In the third game of the series, Li Wan faced Billups with the ball and has taken the initiative.
His height of 2.03 meters was originally unique in the No. 1 position.
Plus that explosiveness.
Billups simply couldn't keep up with his first steps.
This was originally a very easy solution, and if you take two steps back, you will naturally be able to react.
However, Li Wan's mid-range shooting ability is not bad, including the least efficient long two points. As long as there is space, he will shoot without hesitation.
Coupled with his "Neuroknife" attribute...
It's unreasonable to cast and cast...
Billups really dare not guard.
There are too many aspects to pay attention to, can he not be passive?
For the Pistons to say that the defensive end is comfortable, it has to be McDyess. Here, Li Wan broke through with the ball to the inside, and he immediately moved to the bottom corner.
This point is Lewis' habitual point.
Magic's offensive tactics also habitually hit the ball to the bottom corner.
He just needs to guard this bottom corner...
Um?
McDyess froze for a moment.
Because Lewis, who was running towards the bottom corner, suddenly took a step, twisted his body and walked out again.
Just got to the 45-degree angle of the flanks.
Li Wan, who made the breakthrough, passed the ball in this direction in advance, just as he knew where he was going.
People arrive at the ball.
McDyess' mobility isn't bad at the 4.
When Lewis walked out, his body followed suit subconsciously.
But it's still half a step behind...
Liu "Yi" Si made a jumper in front of him and scored a three-pointer!
The lead was once again up to 5 points.
Stan Van Gundy looked at the three-point shot, and it was like a cramp. He squeezed his fist and roared in a hoarse voice, like the cry of the Loch Ness monster.
"Back to defense!"
"Back to defense!"
"Hurry up!"
Van Gundy, who watched the tactical effect returned to normal, began to "roar and filial piety" again.
The start of the Magic team made Wallace feel a sense of crisis.
He desperately suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and fought Howard again.
"Roaring Tianzun" believes that there is nothing that can't be overcome by the heart that wants to win.
Until he heard Howard "Wuhu" in the confrontation...
He was soft again.
"Snapped!"
Howard grabbed the cap with both hands, and the Magic counterattacked again.
Looking at the Magic team's formation, which was gradually unfamiliar in front of him, Sanders saw the clue. The Magic team...
Restrained their play habits!
And also took advantage of this to "prejudge" the Pistons' defense...
Played an easy attack.
It's certainly not what Stan Van Gundy could have imagined.
He is a typical "bystander clear, and the authorities are obsessed", and when he followed his brother to be a commentator, he analyzed it well and made various changes.
Then he was really dumbfounded when he waited for him to go into battle...
However, this at least proves that his brain is turning around.
So when Li Wan listened to Stan Van Gundy's problems with other people, he deliberately "whispered" to himself: "The Pistons are too defensive against our offensive habits..."
He does not mean that.
Stan Van Gundy reacted immediately and made subtle changes to some of the Magic's tactics, such as Turkoglu's pass to the inside, and Lewis' flanking 45-degree three-pointer...
These are also their commonly used scoring methods and points.
But not as common as other tactics.
Plus a confusing move...
It's like Lewis's off-the-ball movement, which was sinking as usual but when he was approaching, he suddenly reversed.
At least these two rounds, the effect can be clearly seen.
The Magic scored twice with ease.
But…
How long can it last?
Sanders noticed the change in the Magic, but he wasn't in a hurry and just watched. Even at the end of the first quarter, the Magic had a 28-20 lead.
He wasn't in a hurry either.
This level of evolution is always limited!
With the Pistons' ability to adapt, they don't have to wait until the next game. It is estimated that they will be familiar with all the Magic's changes in the second half.
But there's a premise to that, which is...
In the second quarter, the Magic continued to play like this!
But what Sanders can think of, can Stan Van Gundy not think of?
He has only two words to evaluate the Pistons' ability to adapt: great!
So in the middle of the second quarter, he waved his hand, Kenyon Doolin came on, and once again resorted to the "cutting wheat tactics". Sanders over there was not slow to respond this time, and he also used the "cutting Huo tactics" to deal with it. .
How would you describe this time on the field?
Tang Seng: Do you know what is called "dangdangdang", "dangdangdangdang" is...
onlyyou~
The only one, in the eyes of Stan Van Gundy, is Howard, and in the eyes of Sanders, is McDyess.
Only when they were fined, would the other side dare not continue to "slash twice".
To say that these two are ruthless enough, free throws...
It's really not going in!
The two of them were just like the little blacksmiths from Milan, and they all worked there.
One was 3-for-10, and another was 2-for-10.
The one who made one more shot was Howard.
What is home field advantage?
In the first half, the two teams ended up 45-40.
Van Gundy was satisfied as they carried the advantage from the first half to the second half.
At the same time, it did not give the opponent enough time to adapt to the changes in the Magic's offensive tactics. This set of tactics can also make the Pistons uncomfortable for a while in the second half.
So far, everything has come according to plan, so Van Gundy didn't say much about the intermission, brought out a bowl of "chicken soup" and let everyone do it, so he didn't disturb everyone's rest.
The Pistons locker room on the other side.
Wallace was chatting with the team's psychiatrist.
When the psychiatrist listened to him, his face was absurd.
Is there really such a perverted person in this world?
After thinking about what he had learned and heard, the psychiatrist asked himself in his heart and answered: Yes!
The world is much more perverted than I imagined...
What Wallace really wanted to ask was, "How do I avoid this distraction?"
Since finding Howard with a "stick" against him, it has had a big impact on his first-half performance.
The key suddenly occurred to him. In the first game, Howard seemed to be pulling his pants...
Combined with what we found today.
A bold thought appeared in his mind:
Is there a possibility that...
He was so excited at the time, he couldn't help but want to do it!
md!
Thinking of this angle, let alone Wallace, no matter how tough a man is, he has to be softer, right?
Wallace is so soft.
The psychiatrist briefly guided him, and then taught him a set of simple psychological suggestion skills.
As for the effect...
He is not very clear.
The second half started with huge cheers from the fans.
First up, it's the Pistons' offensive round.
A loud slogan sounded again on the field:
"Defense!"
"Defense!"
"Defense!"
Rasheed Wallace stuck at the basket while taking out the set taught by the psychiatrist.
This is not a stick, this is not a stick!
This is Howard's finger, this is Howard's hand...
No, let alone fight.
This is the stick, this is the stick!
Howard can't beat me and can only play with a stick.
The constant hints in his heart were still somewhat effective, and he finally dared to be "just" face-to-face!
But he suddenly found...
Why the tougher he is, the more excited Howard is?
Are you going to be so perverted?
"Bang!"
Wallace failed to get stuck, and the Pistons could only shoot from the outside.
The Pistons' two highest scoring regulars were Hamilton and Billups, with one averaging 17.3 points per game and the other averaging 17 points per game.
Not all star level.
This team has no top scorer in the league!
The team averaged 97.5 points per game this season, which is not the bottom three in the league, but also the bottom five in the league.
And when Wallace couldn't support at a high position, their means of solving the battle was even more single.
Howard managed to get the rebound again.
The Magic team in the frontcourt once again relied on a slight movement adjustment, which caused discomfort to the Pistons. Li Wan broke through the inside and completed a layup.
The difference is 7 points!
"fxxk!"
Sanders called a timeout.
Wallace was so out of the ordinary tonight.
The psychiatrist did not tell Sanders about Wallace. After all, this was just Wallace's unilateral rhetoric. If too many people knew about it, if it was spread out, Howard backhanded a lawyer's letter, and they would be unlucky.
"It seems that you can't deal with Howard, Antonio, you can deal with Howard, Rasheed, don't tell me, you can't even deal with Lewis!"
"Then you are ready to sit on the cold bench!"
Wallace wanted to say, I can definitely beat him. that is…
Think about it again, in this way, you don't have to play against the pervert who comes on the court with a stick, and you can play well yourself.
By default!
The game restarts.
Howard, who had a very exciting game tonight, saw that his matchup was replaced by McDyess, and the excitement went down at that time.
This person has confronted him before, it's too soft, and he doesn't feel like a hand-to-hand fight...
Although he was still actively fighting, that special excitement was gone.
Wallace paid attention to the confrontation between McDyess and Howard.
so close...
You should be able to feel it, right?
"Shh!"
Billups reproduced the "big heart" of "Mr. Key" and stood up to score when the Pistons needed it most.
"nice shot!"
Wallace shouted at Billups habitually, and when he was retreating, he quickly approached McDyess: "How is it, buddy?"
McDyess shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly: "This guy is really a beast!"
Just a short round can make the counterpoint feel brutal.
This is "Warcraft" Howard!
What's even more frightening is that this is not the peak period of this man!
But that's not the point of Wallace's attention:
"anything else?"
"Ah, what else?"
McDyess froze for a moment.
Wallace wanted to ask something else, Li Wan had already passed half court with the ball. He saw that McDyess was still fighting against Howard closely, without the slightest hesitation...
Can't you feel it?
No!
That stick is pretty obvious!
unless…
He thought of another possibility.
His expression was a little more broken.
What, it's just me, right?
"Roaring Heavenly Venerate" roared inwardly, a surge of power surged, slapped Bogans who broke through, and slapped him.
"Don't challenge the Pistons in the paint, man, or..."
Before his cruel words were finished, another figure shot out, jumped high in front of him, and completed the buckle with one hand!
It's Li Wan!
The ball that Bogans was capped fell into his hand. He was in the running position and showed explosive power. With his excellent Achilles tendon, he easily got rid of Billups and completed the attacking frame.
"Or what?"
Li Wan turned his head, asked a question, and quickly returned to defense.
Of course, the mouth continued to shout:
"This is the Amway Arena, shut up for Lao Tzu and roar Tianzun!"
Thinking of a knife alone can't be hidden.
Rasheed Wallace now looks like this.
but…
When he ran past half court, standing in front of him was that familiar smiling face.
The Pistons defensive round, he can not go to Howard.
But in the Pistons' offensive round, the person who has the initiative becomes Howard.
Close defense, familiar stick...
no…
Toxic!
Can such a rude man, Lao Tzu, make you so excited?
Rasheed Wallace went all the way out to the three-point line.
In response to the top of the arc, he glanced at Howard in front of him and raised his hand to make a "straight-arm shot" three-pointer.
result…
"Snapped!"
What is superman!
Howard slapped the cover and quickly chased after the ball after landing. When he got the ball, he was already at the three-point line of the Pistons defense. With just a dribble, he could get to the inside in two big steps.
No dribbling ability anyway.
This kind of ball control is still stable.
Howard staged a "five fast break".
Although the final dunk was just a one-handed dunk, the cheers that exploded were no less than any of his previous dunks.
7 points!
The difference is back to 7 points again!
The Magic held on to the score...
Sanders swapped Wallace and McDyess for positions, and it seemed that it didn't work...
But just when Magic fans wanted to breathe a sigh of relief.
But they found something wrong...
Why did Rasheed Wallace get hard again?
Yes!
The Pistons' substitutions are still effective.
Although on the offensive end, Rasheed Wallace needs to continue to face Howard's "strong man lock man" defense.
But when he returned to the defensive end, he no longer had to worry about that stick.
After the mood gradually calmed down...
Rasheed Wallace used a "volleyball cap" to announce the return of "Roaring God".
Then in less than two or three rounds, he stood at a high position and successfully made Li Wan's offensive foul.
After being knocked down, he sat on the ground and watched the referee give the result of the penalty. After confirming that it was Li Wan's offensive foul, he didn't bother to pay attention to his teammate's hand extended to him, but firstly shouted fiercely!
"No one can shut me up!"
"Rookie, you can't do it either!"
…
Li Wan ignored him, turned his head towards the referee who sent the penalty, and said a sentence in Chinese with a smile: "You are such an idiot!"
This can actually call an offensive foul!
You don't need eyes, you can donate it!
The referee looked at him suspiciously: "What?"
But Li Wan ignored him and threw himself into the defense.
Billups is undoubtedly the core "brain" of the entire Pistons team, but to say that the spiritual leader of this team, after Big Ben, must be Rasheed Wallace.
His roar brought the Pistons back to their senses.
The Pistons that made it to the Eastern Conference Finals 5 years in a row are back!
For the rest of the third quarter, they showed the Magic, and the fans at the scene, what is, what, a championship-level adaptability.
With 1 minute and 14 seconds left in the third quarter, Lewis and the others could no longer deceive them with some fake moves, and Rasheed Wallace cut off Turkoglu's direction in a daze. Inside pass.
In this wave, the Pistons directly played an 8-2 scoring tide.
They didn't score much of their own, but again, they limited the Magic even lower.
Before the start of the fourth quarter, the Pistons were only one point behind.
And according to the degree of defensive suffocation of the Pistons just now, I am afraid that less than 2 minutes before the main force comes on the court, they can turn from behind to lead.
When Rasheed Wallace returned to the court, he looked at Li Wan, who made eye contact with him but didn't talk trash, and snorted coldly: "It seems that you also realize that you are going to lose, Pistons, not you can Challenging!"
Li Wandandan said, "Magic is not something you can underestimate!"
With 2 minutes and 14 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, the Magic led by 1 point 67-66. Both starters returned to the field.
The big battle is coming!
Li Wan, who was holding the ball, called Howard's pick-and-roll. As soon as he bypassed the screen, McDyess over there blocked it. Li Wan didn't think about it, and hit the ball towards the basket.
It happened to be in front of Howard who trotted back to the basket.
"Bah!"
Dunk with both hands!
As soon as the main team of the Magic team came back, they ignited the audience with a goal of the "Five Best Balls" level.
When McDyess faces Howard, Howard's athleticism can be maximized!
Sanders sees this too.
"Shrink a little, shrink a little, don't leave the basket empty."
Sanders gestured towards Rasheed Wallace on the field again, asking him to make up for the defense in time.
The latter nodded.
Help defense is different from top defense. As long as he doesn't touch the stick, his mentality will not be affected.
On the Pistons side, Hamilton always goes around tactical screens, picks up and shoots after catching the ball. Bogans arrived late, failed to interfere, and watched the ball fly into the rim.
The game came to the fourth quarter, and Bogans, who ran behind Hamilton for the whole game, was really tired.
But for Hamilton, the race has just begun!
He's just finished warming up...
so…
It's not without reason that Kobe wanted to break his leg.
"One more!"
Li Wan held the ball and shouted to urge him to run.
Stan Van Gundy is quiet again.
Yes…
He started to get nervous again.
Because the Magic are going to start changing again.
Li Wan held the ball and didn't even look at his teammates. He was still called Howard's pick-and-roll, and still the same movement. While McDyess was pulled away by Howard's counter-run, Wallace, who listened to the coach's words, returned to defense in time. under the basket.
But this way...
Didn't Lewis miss it?
Li Wan raised his hand and was about to throw it away.
The Pistons showed their excellent switching ability, and Prince made up the bottom corner, but Li Wan threw the ball to Turkoglu, who was high on the right.
Prince had to go back to defend Turkoglu, and the Turk sent the ball to the bottom corner.
Lewis made a three-pointer.
The ball fell into the basket.
This is not a 1-point difference, but a 4-point difference!
Lewis tensed up, clenched his fists, and shouted loudly.
This was his fourth 3-pointer in this game.
The audience also shouted loudly, and the sound of "defense" sounded again.
Many fans are already hoarse!
But they are still holding on...
Because they know very well that the Magic players on the court are also supporting.
Look at the gritted Bogans!
He has really contributed all his abilities, his steps are a little staggered, and he almost fell, but he can only watch Hamilton jump up and take a shot.
Sometimes, the gap in ability cannot be changed by hard work!
Hamilton took off calmly, and Bogans staggered, looking particularly embarrassed.
"Snapped!"
but…
The ball had just come out of Hamilton's hands when a large hand covered the ball and caught it with a "snap" after landing.
Big hat, No. 23 from the Magic!
Compared with insignificant efforts, talent can change a lot of things!
"Bitch, you've shot too many times in this position!"
Cursing, Li Wan, who landed, held the ball to break fast, and dunked with one hand gliding!
The sound of the ball smashing into the hoop was so loud that Hamilton's dog could hear it, followed by a "wow".
Its owner is really a dog thing!
Take me as a unit of measure, right?
Deserved!
Well covered!
Wang Wang Wang!
another one!
The difference is 6 points...
This is not the most important point, the most important point, Li Wan's predictable block, shows that Hamilton shot a little more tonight.
It's time for someone to stand up!
"Shh!"
this person…
Billups knows...
It can only be him!
Against Li Wan's shot, when the ball fell into the frame, Rasheed Wallace roared along.
Sanders also nodded slightly, showing a satisfied smile.
You can always trust Chauncey!
Point difference, 3 points!
"Bring out our defense!"
The key ball is handed over to Billups, and the cheer is handed to Wallace.
Li Wan still played the same way. Billups got in early this time, but in this way, Howard resisted him, and he basically had no capital to instantly exert his strength.
Li Wan still took one step, faced the double team, and threw the ball to the right again. It was Turkoglu who received the ball, but this time he didn't pass the ball. Instead, he shot a three-pointer himself. Turkoglu completes the goal...
Another 6 points.
I*!
There are also transformations!
Sanders scolded fiercely, and looked down these rounds.
The Magic's overall tactics have changed so much!
No wonder for so long before, this newcomer from China has almost no sense of existence.
Dare to keep your strength and try your best to break the ball in the fourth quarter?
Turkoglu, who has the ball, can choose to play by himself, or he can choose a secondary organization and pass it to a more suitable person.
This would have been nothing.
But Howard's presence at the rim, as well as the scattered positions of Lewis and Turkoglu, will
The Pistons' entire lineup was torn apart.
There is no way to form each other at all, and it is a very good cooperation in defense.
One star!
The word popped into Sanders' mind!
In fact, there is another point. He did not observe that in the first three quarters, while the Magic team kept changing formations, they never forgot to keep the players' touch from beyond the three-point line.
Lewis has made four 3-pointers so far.
Turkoglu also entered the third.
Plus one each of Li Wan and Bogans...
The Magic opened up early from beyond the arc tonight.
It's just that Van Gundy's constant evolutions and "cutting wheat tactics" cover up this.
Until this moment, the hole card is turned over.
Even this iron-blooded piston, the defense at this moment has to be dismantled!
Not to mention, God is helping the Magic tonight.
Rasheed Wallace, the guy who can do "46" with Howard, ran to defend Lewis for some reason. Standing in front of Howard was McDyess who "opened the spring" directly...
This allowed Howard, who did not have the ability to hold the ball under the basket, to play a basket restraint effect similar to Olajuwon.
"Shh!"
This is the Magic's real killer move, and the effect is also very good. After a wave of 9-4 scoring waves, the score gap has suddenly expanded to more than 8 points.
Billups tried to stand up a few more times, but...
With the last 1 minute and 14 seconds, Li Wan scored another three-pointer, and the difference came to more than 10 points.
The balance of victory in this game completely fell to the Magic side.
89 to 78!
In their first game back at home, the Magic once again led by an 11-point deficit.
When the buzzer sounded, the slogan "The piston will die, the magic will stand" sounded uniformly at the scene.
Stan Van Gundy looks at the Magic crowd hugging on the court.
His expression was not so happy.
A game that wiped out all the cards...
And this is the third game of the series. Thinking about the next 4 games, with the Pistons' ability to adapt, it may be difficult for the Magic to eliminate them before they are familiar with this system.
after all…
The connection between Li Wan and Turkoglu has only been practiced for about half a month.
It belongs to the chemical reaction that has just been run-in.
The whole movement is really not complicated...
Therefore, even if he wins, Stan Van Gundy still feels that he is not happy.
Another unhappy person is Bogans.
At the end of the game, when everyone slowed down, he was still a little out of breath.
The feeling of running a marathon on the field every day is really uncomfortable.
Li Wan probably knew what kind of uncomfortable feeling it was.
The Cavaliers in the 2014-15 season had a guard who made a name for himself on defense: Matthew Dellavedova.
He was in charge of guarding Curry in the Finals, and by Game 3, he wouldn't be able to.
Severely dehydrated, his face was pale, and he fainted for a while. The team doctor urgently gave him an infusion, and then he was sent to the local hospital for further treatment.
Of course, at the end of the game, Curry also retched a little...
But from here, you can see how difficult it is to keep up with people who are running around all over the field.
Bogans is not that dangerous because of the "traditional small ball era" and because Hamilton doesn't have the agile movement of Curry.
But also more or less weak legs.
His hard work paid off.
Hamilton made 7 of 17 shots in this game, with a shooting rate of 41.2%!
What?
Looking good too?
This All-Star, the Pistons' main offensive player, can keep his shooting average at an average rate, which is actually a success!
If Bogans can really block Hamilton, it is impossible for him to earn an annual salary of 2.44 million.
you get what you pay for.
For this price, it's already worth it!
Li Wan's data in this game is 16 points, 8 assists, 5 rebounds, 1 block and 2 steals. Compared with the last game, the data has improved a lot, but the shooting percentage is still very low, only about 38%.
Fortunately, his three-point shooting rate was as high as 50% tonight, and he scored 2 of 4 shots!
And the fourth quarter really depends on Li Wan's breakthrough time and time again, then...
How laborious!
He can stretch his hit rate, which is already pretty good.
The media didn't blame him anyway.
Then again, tonight they are the winners!
Who will blame the winning team there?
Except for the really biased media reporters…
For them, just treat it like a fart!
Including the Orlando fans, seeing the third game Li Wan still did not play the explosive performance of the previous round.
We all know that this is Li Wan's current upper limit.
Not too disappointed though...
As the team's only raider, when the whole team couldn't open the situation, it all depended on his breakthroughs, and faced a team like the Pistons. The guards who can play his performance in the league are basically fans. Familiar, right?
so…
Compliment is over!
Lee Wan is amazing!
On the other side, Rasheed Wallace, who had finished the interview, returned to the hotel, and went out alone with his head sullen. On the way, he met Billups and they greeted him, but he ignored it and left.
Billups is quite used to it: "He definitely thinks it's his responsibility to lose this game..."
This is Rasheed Wallace's sense of responsibility to the team!
Billups does know his teammates.
Wallace really blamed himself for the loss.
He believes that if it wasn't for his mental imbalance in the first half, Sanders would not have changed in the second half and let McDyess guard Howard.
How could Howard have such an effect?
Can…
It's really hard for him to get rid of that stress!
This is the instinctive reaction of the mind, and there is nothing he can do about it.
However, in order to win...
Rasheed Wallace called a taxi after he went out, and the car stopped in front of a bar.
That's a **** bar...
The way to overcome fear is to...
Join the fear!
Wallace felt that as long as he stayed with these "bends" long enough, he would be able to overcome the obstacles in his heart!
It's all for Detroit!
Wallace thought he was great.
It's just that he didn't notice that as he walked into the bar, Orlando's paparazzi took a picture of him entering the door.
And the next day...
"Losing is too frustrating? Rasheed Wallace at the *** bar after the game. 》
It was the front page headline in the sports section of the Orlando Sentinel.
Coupled with this era, the network media has gradually developed.
so…
It was only one morning, and everyone who followed the Pistons knew that Rasheed Wallace went to the *** bar last night.
When "Roaring Heavenly Venerate" knew that he had been filmed...
There are billions of people wanting to die!
He's ready for the odd look from his teammates.
Taking a look at the phone, Sanders also sent him a message.
—I know you've been a little stressed lately and need to release the pressure...but still be careful.
gtmd!
Wow!
Wallace's mood suddenly rose.
Where does Laozi look like ***!
Hualai's morale went crazy.
But he didn't explain much, waiting silently for the fourth game of the series.
He's going to explode in silence!
Howard saw Wallace again, his eyes more fiery.
There are "sparks"!
Wallace greeted the "male" and went up to the bar. He didn't go to the bar in vain yesterday, and he didn't care that much about that stick!
The Pistons are back at their best...
Stan Van Gundy was once again intimidated by the Pistons' defensive adaptability.
Originally, he wanted to say that this set of "one-star shooting" won't last until the end of the series, but as a result, he still underestimated the Pistons.
Teams that have reached the Eastern Conference Finals 5 times in a row…
Experience is no longer enough to describe their sophistication.
Let's just say...
Experienced in a hundred battles!
All kinds of opponents have been through it, so just give them one night and they can find the best tactical response…
In order to avoid the situation in the last round from happening again, this round the Pistons mainly focus on defensive three points. If you want two points, then I will give you two points.
In addition, Rasheed Wallace's "rejuvenation" also made Howard unable to play the last game again.
When Howard was restricted, Li Wan's breakthroughs were naturally restricted.
Without their connection, coupled with the Pistons' strict prevention of deadlocks at the beginning, the Magic had no chance of "three-point rain" at all!
Moreover, this time Lewis clearly experienced the "law of conservation of character".
2 of 7 shots from beyond the arc, those who made more shots in the last game, all returned to God this time.
that's it…
87 to 79, the traditional tyrannical Pistons, relying on tenacious defense and amazing tactical adaptability, defeated the Magic and left Orlando with a 2-2 score.
The next game, Game 5 of the series, "The Battle of Tianwang Mountain," will be played at Little Caesars Arena, the home of the Pistons.
Magic's extra "blood buff" is gone.
Therefore, many media believe that the Magic have reached their limit.
Their drive is fierce, but that's about it!
The Detroit media is already publishing: "The Pistons will solve the battle in Game 6!"
The media in the city are like that.
Not to mention the fans...
The streets are full of fans wearing Pistons playoff T-shirts and uniforms.
Do not misunderstand!
They were all Detroiters who couldn't watch the game on the spot, but they gathered outside the arena, waiting for the results of the game to be announced as soon as possible, and at the same time waiting to watch the players of the Magic team. leave here.
Especially the new guy!
It's so hateful!
They must record Li Wan's disheartened face at that time!
This is the case outside the field, not to mention on the field!
All the diehard fans were shaking their bodies excitedly, as well as the support cards in their hands.
No wonder they are so excited!
Judging by Game 4 of the series, the Pistons got their "hardened defense" back, and when the Magic fell behind, they didn't make the quick changes that they did in Game 3.
What does this mean?
This shows that the Magic has no more evolutions and cards!
Game 3 of the series was all their power.
That's it!
How dare you, a rookie, go crazy!
Whether it is the Pistons fans off the field or the Detroit people on the scene, they are all very hostile to Li Wan!
Li Wan listened to the boos and warmed up with jumpers one after another.
He wasn't under too much pressure.
No matter what, it's a 2-2 draw!
This is far from the worst, not even the edge of a cliff!
As long as they win this time, they are still the leader!
Stan Van Gundy thought so too.
In the locker room, he repeatedly emphasized: "Listen, since we can lead them twice, then we can lead the third time! The opponent is not a flood beast, they are the opponents that we have defeated twice! "
"They are not as flawless as they were last season, at least in front of us, they are likely to kneel for the third time, not very likely, they will definitely be defeated by us again!
"
"Come on guys, let's go back to Orlando to finish them off with a 3-2 score!"
Game 6 of the series is in Orlando…
As long as they eat this game, then they can get the "blood buff" again!
"In the 1990s, coaches would ask their players to defend with the intensity of breaking the opponent's hands and feet. Tonight, the same is true, show your utmost ruthlessness. This is not a game, this is a war!"
Stan Van Gundy's voice was hoarse as always, but at this moment his eyes were bulging and bloodshot, and accompanied by his low drink, it made people feel like a beast roaring.
This is ruthlessness!
In the most critical battle, they hope that these guys will risk their lives to fight!
"After an hour and a half, only one team was able to walk out!"
"Either them or us!"
"It must be us!"
"gogogo!"
Similarly, on the other side, there was a roar full of anger.
The media said the Pistons could win, the fans thought the victory belonged to Detroit, but that was them, and the victory was always unknown until the game was won!
Sanders understands this, as do the battle-hardened Detroit Pistons players!
Their appearance is serious and serious. Before playing, they finally checked their jerseys and shoes, as if they were wiping the "steel gun" in their hands...
So…
bring it on!
"Ho!"
Two simultaneous roars, one for Howard and one for Rasheed Wallace.
"Warcraft" has never jumped the ball so desperately.
But he knows that this is called "every ball must be fought"!
Otherwise, the opposite Wallace would not roar like him.
"Snapped!"
The first to touch the ball was Howard.
The ball goes to Li Wan.
When it was transported to the frontcourt, Li Wan rushed to the inside line with the ball. Tonight's tough attitude must be shown first!
Billups' confrontation with him was much bigger than usual and filled with all sorts of little tricks.
Push, pull...
While doing these little gestures, Billups watched the referee's reaction.
He was testing the defensive scale tonight.
The referee saw...
But not blowing!
very good!
His movements intensified.
He wants to take Li Wan and feel the wildness of the 90s.
"Bah!"
But just as he got close again, Li Wanfei, who was holding the ball, suddenly put his elbow on his chest, which was close to him, and gave him a hard blow.
"Ah~ cough!"
Billups lost his voice in pain.
Wow, this kid!
Really hard to start!
"Bang!"
Li Wan's counterattack was beyond Billups' expectations, but in the end the Pistons defended the ball.
Then it won't be in vain!
Watching Rasheed Wallace protect the rebound, Billups rubbed his chest, he knew it was going to be swollen!
The Pistons switched offense amid cheers.
Billups dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, looked around, his teammates were basically entangled with the Magic players, including Hamilton, and his escape was no longer so easy...
And soon, he won't have time to pay attention to these.
Because Li Wan also posted it, he kept reaching out to interfere with his dribbling rhythm. More than ever, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is full of pressure!
"Bang!"
Under the entanglement of defense, Billups did not get the opportunity to pass the ball, so he simply attacked the frame himself. Under the interference of Li Wan, the ball came out of the frame.
Howard and Wallace faced off against each other. The hands of the two of them kept tugging at the other's hand, but their eyes were fixed on the ball.
When they jumped up, they pushed each other hard.
Or Howard touched the ball first!
Really hard!
Rasheed Wallace cursed in his heart.
Whether it's a stick, or Howard's just confrontation.
This round deserves this evaluation.
The ball is converted again.
As far as the first round after the start of the game, both hands know that tonight is bound to be a hard fight!
