From today on is the king

Chapter 184.
It took more than 9 minutes to score 12 points. Liu Mang felt that the Pistons were crazy. If this crazy team got together with a crazy head coach, it would be a comfort. Fortunately, the owner of the Pistons had a long-standing feud with a certain oily man on the south coast, and they were already at odds in the late 80s. Otherwise, if they really got together, Stern would hire murderers.

The Pistons were chased by Raheem. Coach Carlisle was thinking about the stability of the offense. This offensive rhythm is disgusting. The stronger the opponent, the slower the pace. He emphasized that the defense is correct, but if the Pistons do not have offensive stability, they will have no way to beat the Eagles, because their offense is too miserable. The entire team has only two averages in double figures per game, and the Hawks have three.

And although the Pistons are second in the league in rebound protection, second only to the Lakers, the Eagles are first in the league in backcourt rebounds. Having more backcourt rebounds means they can play a lot of fast breaks.

Michael Curry controlled the ball near the three-point line and passed the ball to Chris Williams in the top corner of the left three-second zone. Michael Curry quickly moved towards the bottom corner and set a screen for Stackhouse in the bottom corner.

This tactic of the Pistons was very successful. Stackhouse caught the ball and made an open shot, but he missed the shot. Although Ben Wallace failed to grab an offensive rebound from the Eagles' frontcourt trio, he bounced the ball in the air and blocked the Eagles' defensive counterattack.

Drag the rhythm to death!The closer you get to the peak, the stronger the tempo-dragging power in the Big Ben field.

The Eagles had no choice but to play half-court. Liu Mang advanced and had to hit the Pistons' half-court defense. The Pistons restricted Raheem's catch.

Then hit hard!
Liu Mang started dribbling singles against Stackhouse, and the effect of the third level of ball control master was obvious. Liu Mang dribbled continuously under the crotch, killing Stackhouse's patience.

"Come on, steal me. I'm really not good at handling the ball. Do you want to steal one? I'll give you this ball. You seem to have averaged 30 points per game last season. How many points are you scoring this year? It's pathetic. You lost a third of your points.

Liu Mang's mouth was like a cannonball. Stackhouse had learned from the circle of top scorers that this rookie's trash talk was getting more and more serious. He had been holding back, saying that he was sent to steals to taunt him.

You Chinese are amazing at mathematics!You bloody profiteer!As for why Stackhouse scolded Liu Mang as a profiteer, it all started when he met a Chinese businessman last time...

Stackhouse couldn't bear it anymore, Iverson made a rush!
But Stackhouse's stealing ability and stealing oppression can't be compared with Iverson. Iverson has won a lot of votes in the best defensive player voting in the past few years.
Stackhouse's speed is not slow either, with an ability value of 84 and a speed of 89. After losing his position, he immediately starts to rush back...over the top again!

Liu Mang stopped abruptly and took a step back!It completely threw Stackhouse away by more than one meter!Stackhouse wanted to turn around and defend back, but he couldn't control his center of gravity at all, and fell to the ground!

After Liu Mang withdrew, he shot with a sniper!
Perfect timing!The sharpshooter triggers, and the three-pointer hits hollow!
Immediately there was loud booing at the scene, and I don't know whether it was booing Stackhouse, who has played almost half of the season or not being able to integrate into the defense like other teammates, or booing Liu Mang, probably both.

But the non-Pistons fans in front of the TV are different. American fans tend to rant occasionally, and they can yell loudly in front of the TV!

Eliminate harm for the people!
Just like many playoff teams that have no obvious advantage over the Pacers, all the teams in the league, especially the strong teams, are tortured by the opponent's damn defense and want to cry when they encounter the Pistons.
15 to 8, the point difference came to 7 points!Coach Carlisle couldn't help calling a timeout!

……

Needless to say, Coach Kruger didn't realize that when he met the Pistons, he really had a certain inherent advantage.

When Raheem is on the court, the opponent's interior will inevitably build a defense like an iron barrel to defend against Raheem, so if there is a guard with strong singles ability and strong shooting accuracy on the outside, it will suddenly become much easier to play.

Jason Terry averages 21 points per game, but he is not so suitable for this role. He is good at strong shots, but he can't complete singles like Liu Mang. He either shoots directly with the ball, or organizes an offense.

But Jason Terry, Raheem, and Liu Mang, the three of them complement each other almost perfectly!An outside ball-handling singles eagle, a catch wave throwing eagle, and a short-range singles eagle.

Of course, this is why the Pistons' system has but not two top defensive perimeters.

But at this stage, the three eaglets of the Eagles are playing together, so they are really not afraid of the Pistons!

The Eagles continue to emphasize scoring, the defense has been integrated into the bones, and the opponent's offensive players are really bad inside. Just Chris Williams is a frontcourt player who averages double figures per game, and Stackhouse is an outsider.

Coach Carlisle is very tired.

Such a good talent lineup, but just can't play the desired offensive and defensive balance game.

After playing for more than 10 minutes, the opponent only scored 15 points. This is an excellent defense. This shows that the Pistons' defensive tactics against the Hawks really worked. The Hawks averaged 104 points per game this season. Relying on the cavalry tactics that have become popular recently, they ranked third in the league in points per game, second only to the Dallas Mavericks' 106 points and the Sacramento Kings' 105.2 points, which is higher than the Lakers' average of 103 points per game.

The Eagles only scored 15 points at the end of a single quarter, and the Pistons' defense is really good.

But they can't open their own attack!

Most of this has nothing to do with the Eagles' defense. It's just that the rhythm is too slow. Some transitional balls can be played, but the rhythm has slowed down, and they don't have to play if they want to.

And after the opponent's rookie who is good at transitioning from offense to defense came up, the opponent started to gain momentum, and his side suddenly fell into a passive position!

Success is Ben Wallace, defeat is Ben Wallace, coach Carlisle can lead the team to this position in the rookie coaching season, largely relying on the league's third defense built around Ben Wallace, but the league's 21st-ranked offense is a bit miserable. The Spurs' offensive efficiency is still No. 11 in the league, and their defensive efficiency is almost the same.

Coach Carlisle gritted his teeth and replaced Ben Wallace with Serbia's skilled and fast power forward Kyles Lobraka.

The 80s was indeed a golden age for European and South American players. They killed the US team many times. Since 1992, the magician, Larry Bird, and Michael Jordan of the 80s took the three magic shots to regain the country.

But it wasn’t just Sabonis who was invincible at that time. Even if he faced an American team composed of NCAA players, it would not be easy for him to win. There were many high-quality players in Europe at that time. Unfortunately, due to political factors and war chaos, most of them did not have the opportunity to come to the NBA.

Kels Robraka was selected by the Sonics at the age of 97 in 19. He just entered the NBA this year and was sent to the Pistons by the Sonics before he played.

It is a Serb, but not all Serbs are Serbs, which is a bit of a mouthful.

Rob Braka is a Bosnian, that is, the former Yugoslavs. The civil unrest did not end until 2000. He came to the NBA this year.

Although he is 24 meters tall, Robraka is fast and has good skills. Unfortunately, he was regarded as a European genius at the time. He is now [-] years old and missed the best years of tapping his potential. Now he can only play as a substitute in the NBA.

As a substitute insider, he averages 6 points and 4 rebounds per game, can shoot three-pointers, and can hold the ball. It is the type of insider that coach Carlisle likes.

……

After the timeout, the Eagles have not changed except for Chris Crawford who replaced Raheem.

The Pistons didn't change many people, but Jon Barry replaced Michael Curry, and Rob Laka replaced Ben Wallace.

But after the Pistons came up, their style completely changed!

With Ben Wallace, and without Ben Wallace, the Pistons are completely two teams!

The Pistons quickly attacked and caught the Eagles by surprise. Stackhouse held the ball quickly and then broke through directly. The Eagles were not stable and double-teamed too hastily.

Hit fast?
The Eagles counterattacked immediately!
The Pistons still have their own players who are not in a good position halfway. Although the goal is scored, it is absolutely impossible to form a system if they want to return to defense!
Liu Mang and Jason Terry, the vanguard dispatched, the cavalry company charged!

……

……

After the Pistons switched to a scoring lineup, they picked up the tempo and their scoring efficiency immediately increased. Moreover, the Eagles did not expect the Pistons to change their style all of a sudden.

After the first quarter, the Eagles led the Pistons by 20 points 15-5.

Both teams didn't play so happily, and at the end of the first quarter, the Pistons played a wave of offensive shock waves suddenly, which scared the Eagles. Fortunately, the Eagles also scored 5 points in a row and continued to maintain the score advantage.

Coach Kruger began to think, continue to increase speed and enhance scoring efficiency, or do the opposite?Take the initiative to pull the rhythm back to the slow rhythm, and then speed up?
This is considered in two aspects. Continue to speed up and use the experience advantage of playing fast to defeat the opponent. This method has a high success rate, but if the opponent's offensive shot is also accurate, the opponent may be chased and counterattacked by the opponent. It is effective, but unstable.

The second strategy is to control the initiative, control the rhythm changes in his own hands, but there are also disadvantages. His own Langbi point guard may not be able to adapt to the too slow rhythm. After all, he is still a rookie...

That being the case, Coach Kruger simply called Liu Mang over.

"Coach, I'm here, what's the matter!" Liu Mang asked.

"Ace, I give you two choices. The first is to continue to play in your style. The second is to slow down the tempo and let the opponent change to a slow-paced lineup. You can speed up and choose one." Coach Kruger is still so straightforward. If you can't decide by yourself, let someone else decide.

Generally speaking, college coaches are more flexible and have many excellent ideas, but their decision-making ability is average.

This is like Mr. Li, a legendary superstar in ancient China. There was an excellent coach Fang. Coach Fang had a lot of ideas and a lot of ideas, but he had too many choices and didn’t know which one to use. Therefore, an assistant coach with excellent judgment ability, Coach Du, helped him make decisions, and then Mr. Li implemented them.

To change an example, just like the future Celtics coach Stevens, as a college coach, most of the players on all teams are about the same except for occasional talented players in college. To reflect the strength of the team, you have to be flexible in tactics. Strong assistants helped Stevens a lot.

There are only three assistant coaches for the Eagles, one in charge of defense, one in charge of shooting coaches, and one in charge of scouting report research and tactical analysis. There is no condition for the Celtics to have a lot of money.

That being the case, Coach Kruger asked Liu Mang directly, simply and simply!
"Let's play at a slow pace. That Jim Carrey is also very fast. Don't let them take the opportunity to overtake you." Liu Mang is not talking casually. The most special thing about Coach Carlisle is not that he can build an extremely balanced team, but that he can play a bunch of players who are regarded as scum by others. After 2011, everyone thought that they would die after winning the championship. Being able to make it to the playoffs with a bunch of drinking fountains, and just reaching the seventh game with the Spurs, of course, there were old drivers and old Carter as the Poseidon needles in those years were also one of the key reasons, but those two old guys are almost 40, and the decisive factor is still the coach.

Just over a minute ago, the Pistons came up except for Stackhouse, and few of them knew their names except Pistons fans. They played three beautiful offenses in a daze, which is enough to prove that this coach who has studied sports at Virginia Tech for two years has attainments in using role players.

Okay, Coach Kruger didn't think much of it, and used the second strategy... Wait, Jim Carrey?Coach Kruger looked at Coach Carlisle, not to mention, he really looks like that weirdo in disguise!

This brat!Coach Kruger looked around. Luckily, there was no one else. He randomly gave a nickname to a star-level new coach, and the nickname was a Hollywood superstar who won the Golden Globe Award twice and won the MTV Best Actor a dozen times. He had to be criticized again!
After the inter-section rest, the two sides began to rotate.

Sure enough, even if a rookie coach has an excellent resume in college or as a teaching assistant, even if he enters the NBA very brightly, and is regarded as the first or second favorite of the best coach, he will still have the urge of a rookie.

Coach Kruger of the Eagles always has a lot of ideas and loves to make things happen.

Coach Carlisle's performance in this regard is that when he sees an opportunity, he wants to do it!
Coach Carlisle, who had tasted the sweetness in the last minute of the first quarter, did not replace Ben Wallace at the beginning of the second quarter. Instead, he continued to switch to an offensive lineup, replacing Dana Barros and Joan Barry in the backcourt.

Dana Barros, winner of the Most Improved Award for the Celtics in the 90s, was also selected as an All-Star substitute in the same year. That year was his peak, and he averaged 20 points and 7.5 assists per game. Cannon is his strongest tactic. These two can shoot three-pointers. Coach Carlisle actually prefers this kind of back line. As for defense, it is enough to rely on active rotation. Whether a coach can do it is basically from "young" to old. Coach Carlisle has always had this ability.

The small forward continues to play Stackhouse. Although coach Carlisle doesn't like Stackhouse's inefficient scoring, the Pistons really lack assaulters, just like the Hawks may completely change into a team without Liu Mang. Before the Pistons have no better candidates for a while, Coach Carlisle must use this inefficient scorer with a shooting percentage of just 40.00%.

Inside the Pistons sent a combination of Chris Williams and Rob Laka.

The Pistons still want to play fast!
But when Coach Carlisle saw the Eagles' roster, he didn't know if he should say it or not!

Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Raheem, Muhammad, Ratliff!
The Eagles are going to play positional warfare!
