God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 413

As two-time champions, most of the 76ers' players know that the Pistons are not an easy team to deal with. Facing such an opponent, the best way is to pursue the success rate and play steadily to help the team gain an advantage.

But Els has been angered by Brown's words before the game. His instructions to the players are to further improve the team's offensive and defensive rhythm, hoping to use the stormy offense to directly overwhelm the Pistons.But this is exactly in Brown's arms. The Pistons will only fear those patient opponents. Fast-paced offense and defense are just a piece of cake for them.

At the beginning of the game, there was a problem with Els' pre-match arrangement. The 76ers' offense was like a tide hitting a dam, and it disappeared invisible before it could destroy the opponent.Because Brown's instruction to the Pistons players is to adopt a full-court press at the beginning of the first round of the game, and strive to directly disrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm in the first half of the first quarter.

Iverson has always been sneering at the pressing of the audience. Almost every time he can rely on his speed and flexibility to get rid of the defender, dribble the ball to the frontcourt alone, and even take advantage of the opponent's unstable foothold. Time to score a layup.However, he miscalculated this time. Billups and Prince in front of him had no special defensive skills, but their arms were like a big net covering Iverson. The latter rushed from left to right. But never found a breakthrough.

Accidentally, the basketball controlled by Iverson was directly stabbed by Prince, which surprised Iverson.However, this may be because he did not notice that Prince's wingspan is comparable to that of a gibbon, so when he thought he could still control the basketball, Prince completed the steal, and then Thomas, who had followed up to the flank, took over. Until the pass hits a three-pointer.

This mistake made Iverson feel very embarrassing, so he was still preparing to advance with the ball for the second time, but what made him both angry and a little panicked was that the Pistons once again resorted to their own full-court press.This time Iverson learned his lesson. Instead of forcing a breakthrough with the dribble, he gave the ball to Dalembert who came back to meet him, which prevented the Pistons from completing the second steal.

However, neither Billups nor Prince showed any expression on their faces. During the previous defensive training, Chang Wei told them very clearly: "It is impossible to rely on defense to keep the opponent from scoring forever, and defense is not every day. One round can have a good effect. In my eyes, the biggest function of defense is to make the opponent fearful!"

From this point of view alone, they have done a very good job. After all, Iverson did not make a hard attack in the second round but chose to pass the ball to his teammates and ran to the frontcourt empty-handed.Although this is the best response to the situation on the field, it has virtually weakened the 76ers' "momentum". In fact, many actions are not right or wrong. In exchange for another one, the consequences will naturally need to be borne by oneself, as long as you don't regret it.

The 76ers obviously won't regret it. After they took control of the ball, they gave the ball to Lewis through continuous conduction, and the latter easily hit a mid-range shot from the elbow area.However, the Pistons did not take this conceded goal to heart at all. It is much more cost-effective for them to seize the opportunity to continue to expand their advantage than to blame themselves for a mere two-pointer.

Compared with the 76ers' offense, the Pistons' offense does not have too many routines, and it can be said to be unpretentious from the scene. Of course, it is ugly to put it bluntly.But the Pistons players have never disliked that their offensive routines are too ugly. For them, as long as they can send the ball into the basket, they can play whatever you want within the rules.

As the field commander of the Pistons, Billups calmly commanded his teammates to run tactics. Daben covered Prince in the paint, trying to create opportunities for the latter to slip to the bottom line for an empty cut layup. Thomas mentioned that The high position is ready to play pick-and-roll with Billups at any time, and the team's scoring leader Hamilton still runs tirelessly like every previous offensive round.

Suddenly, Billups moved because he saw Dalembert and Lynch blocked by Ben at the same time, and Prince was in the middle of the gap on the weak side. Sen's side was thrown near the baseline.If Big Ben is strong enough, this is an excellent scoring opportunity. Prince only needs a simple layup to help the team score another 2 points.

Although Lynch's defensive ability is far inferior to Bell's, he can still see the simple cooperation of the Pistons.When Billups passed the ball over, he also squeezed through Big Ben's tendons, just blocking the route of Prince's air cut. He will never let this look need to continue An easy score for a rookie who puts on weight.

But this is not a big problem for Prince. After receiving the ball, he turned around and turned his back to Lynch, looking like he was going to play directly with his back.Previously, Prince seldom played opponents in low singles, so this time his singles did not make the 76ers more vigilant.The result was that Prince scored 2 points with a bland hook shot, leaving Lynch alone in a daze.

That's right, in most of the previous games, Prince was used by Brown as a wing gate, scoring basically only by catch-and-shoot and second offense, which made the 76ers insufficiently prepared for his low post singles.In fact, before the start of the game, Chang Wei specifically asked Prince for his opinion. After all, this was considered a strange move by the team, and if it was used rashly, it would lose its suddenness.But in order to help the team defeat the defending champion, Prince decided to expose his skills.

The Pistons can use their own style to score points steadily. Even if they shoot hard, the inside combination of Big Ben and Thomas can beat Dalembert and Lewis in rebounding.The 76ers players were forced into a panic by the high-intensity oppressive defense of the Pistons. Only Reid, a big-hearted shooter, can maintain a good shooting percentage. His shooting is currently the only weapon that the 76ers can use to deal with the Pistons. Otherwise, the gap between the two sides would have been widened long ago.

Although the two teams have been chasing after each other, and the maximum point difference has not exceeded 5 points, Brown on the sidelines is still very satisfied.Although Bell was absent due to injury, the 76ers without him are still one of the top teams in the league. However, the Pistons can now rely on their own defense to fight the opponent inextricably. This undoubtedly proves the importance of Brown's team building ideas sex.However, for any team, a high-intensity defense cannot last for too long. This is also an important reason why Els sat on his seat with a livid face but still did not call a timeout. After this time.
