God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 417 The Road Trip
After getting the "Cardinal's Tactical Board", Chang Wei did not use this item immediately, but began to read the description of the item carefully.Sure enough, the +2 defensive score of all players is accompanied by the head coach, that is to say, if it is used by Brown and he changes jobs to coach other teams, then the +2 buff of all Pistons players will disappear directly.However, the 30% increase in the effect of defensive training can only be used for one season. Even if Brown leaves in the future, there will be no second time.

For Chang Wei, the most critical question is, do I need to use this prop for Brown now?
In all fairness, the Pistons have every chance of winning the championship this season. The reason why they had to wait until the 03-04 season in their previous life was largely because they needed Roaring Tianzun to join.But now that there is Thomas in the team, he can completely replace Rasheed Wallace, which means that this Pistons can now be compared with the championship team in the previous life.

But now that the season has been going on for a while, it seems a bit of a disadvantage to start using the 30% increase in defensive training effects, and Chang Wei has full confidence in the players. Now that they can beat the 76ers, let them train step by step for a period of time. Maybe it can also beat other top teams?This effect looks a bit tasteless.

After pondering for a long time, Chang Wei finally decided to use this prop for Brown. Even if the Pistons cannot win the championship this season, their defensive growth will not regress, and they will only become stronger next season.If the team still needs to continue to add players at that time, it is not too late to formulate targeted training plans for them, they just need not to hold back.

Now Chang Wei's system has not yet opened a section about the head coach, so after using the "Cardinal's Tactic Board", there is no other movement except for the system prompting that the props have been used successfully.But this did not bother Chang Wei. He clicked on the information panel of the Pistons players one by one. When he saw the word +2 behind each player's defensive rating, he couldn't help laughing.

I don't know how the Pistons will perform next time they face the league's top teams?Everyone's defensive ability +2 means that the team's overall level has improved by more than one grade. It seems that the Pistons should maintain a relatively high winning percentage for the rest of the season, and beat the 76ers by the end of the regular season Ranking first in the Eastern Conference is not necessarily impossible.

All the Pistons players didn't know that Chang Wei used such a prop, but they all found that it was easier for them to understand the coach's arrangement during defensive training, and they could naturally run to the right position on the field.This transformation surprised Brown, who seemed to have even more confidence in his concept of winning defensively.

After defeating the 76ers, the Pistons failed to return to Detroit. This was just the beginning of a wave of 7 consecutive away.What makes Brown feel a lot of pressure is that the remaining 6 away opponents of the Pistons are not good, including the Spurs, Suns, Nets, and Raptors, which are temporarily ranked in the top eight teams in the east and west. He is still interested in the game on December 12. They will go to Houston to play against the Rockets. At that time, he can go and get close to Yao Ming, the greatest Chinese star in the future.

However, the match against the Rockets was the penultimate game of their 7 consecutive away games. Before that, the Pistons had to play against strong enemies.Faced with such a schedule, Chang Wei could only secretly scold the official league staff responsible for arranging the schedule. How can there be such a weird 7 consecutive players?It’s okay to play away games consecutively, it’s fine to give us a few weak teams, most of them are strong teams, wouldn’t it be exhausting?
Complaints are complaints, the entire Pistons team still has to keep running around in various cities.After leaving Philadelphia, they first detoured to Toronto to face the Raptors led by the twin stars of Tracy McGrady and Carter.After another season, the duo grew sharper, with Hamilton and Prince feeling the pressure when they matched up.Relatively speaking, Prince is still better. Under his defense, McGrady only shot 42.1% of the field and scored only 18 points and 6 rebounds. Although Carter scored 29 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists. Quasi-triple-double, but the Raptors were still beaten by Billups 1.2 seconds before the end of the game, and had to swallow the bitter fruit of failure at home. The gap between them and the Pistons was also narrowed to 2 wins.

Consecutive defeat of the top two in the Eastern Conference made the Pistons full of confidence, but they suffered a blow in New York. The Nets led by Kidd actually played with ease under their defense.In fact, the most important thing is Kidd. The Pistons' defense can't restrain his unrestrained passing at all, often blocking this side, but the opponent scores in another position.In the end, the Pistons lost 97 to 105. This game also made them realize that their defense is not impeccable.

But the defeat didn't end there, and the Pistons suffered another defeat in San Antonio, and this time they beat them the way they do best.Under the skillful defense of the Spurs, only Hamilton and Thomas scored in double figures for the Pistons. The highest score of the others was Billups' 9 points. The team only scored a poor 72 points, and the shooting percentage was less than 40. %.Although the Spurs only scored 85 points, they won this defensive battle.

In fact, many fans left the field in the middle of the game. Of course, this is not because the home team is too far ahead or behind, but mainly because this game is full of muscle confrontation, rebounding and passing mistakes. Watching.Chang Wei was also a little drowsy watching from the sidelines. He finally understood why the ratings of the Spurs and Pistons in the finals in his previous life hit a record low. If every game was played like this, it is estimated that few fans would have the patience to stay on TV. machine front.

Although suffered a two-game losing streak, these two defeats are of great value to the Pistons players.Against the Nets, they knew that their defense still had a lot of room for improvement, and against the Spurs gave them a general impression of the level of top defense.There is no need for Brown to say that every player begins to spend more energy and time in defensive training. They know that their offense cannot reach the top level of the league, so let defense become a nightmare for every opponent!
The Suns sadly became the target of the Pistons. Although they have a starting lineup like Marbury, Hardaway, Stoudemire and Marion, and also scored 101 points in the game against the Pistons, their shooting percentage But it was as low as 32.1%, and the high score was completely exchanged for more shots.

piston?Sorry, the Suns' defense can't restrain them at all. They scored a season-high 110 points when five players were in double figures. It seems that hard training is still effective, and this game is a proof.
