God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 461
Defeating the Pacers in the first game made the entire Pistons team rejoice. Although this does not mean that they can win this round of the series 100%, it still has a big boost to morale.However, under Brown's suppression, everyone quickly put away their excitement and began to prepare for the next game. Now they are far from saying that they will definitely win the second game.

Before the second game, Chang Wei was undoubtedly the busiest person on the coaching staff. In addition to watching and analyzing the Pacers game video with other assistant coaches, he also paid attention to the recovery training of the players.Maybe some coaches will let the players rest more at this time, but Chang Wei never cares about this. He believes that the Pistons players can hold on.

But there are indeed many things that are unpredictable during the game, such as the sudden coldness of the hand...

At the beginning of the second game, Brown was stunned. He couldn't believe that these guys who were crazy on the court were his players.Except for Thomas and Big Ben who scored 2 points in the second offense after grabbing the offensive rebound, the other players of the Pistons made 5 of 41 shots in 6 minutes and 0 seconds, and the Pacers made a 16-4 start.

In the last game, the Pistons shot 47.1% from the field. This is already a very good statistic in the playoffs. No one expected that they would hit the iron continuously at the beginning of this game. It seems that they left their shooting touch in the training hall inside.Chang Wei also felt a little helpless. On the morning of the game, everyone was able to maintain a fairly high shooting percentage during training. After most of the day, they became weak chickens?It doesn't make sense!But such unreasonable things often happen on the basketball court.

In addition to poor shooting, the Pistons' offensive limitations are largely due to the Pacers' perimeter defense in this game. Carlisle even put Miller on the bench in order to ensure defensive strength. He was exhausted again.Originally, the Pistons' shooting touch is very average, and their players' breakthrough ability is quite average. Naturally, they can't come to the basket to score, and they can't attract defenses and open up space for teammates.

As a last resort, Brown replaced Hamilton with Wade. His purpose was very clear, which was to strengthen his ability to break through.As the strongest catch-and-shoot player in the league, Hamilton's touch in this game is very average. He hasn't scored yet and was blocked by the opponent once.He felt a little helpless about Brown's decision, but it was indeed because he did not play his due role in the game. The coach wanted to improve his offensive ability, and it was reasonable to replace him with Wade.

Wade can be said that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. Although he has been honed in 90 official games, the bravery and arrogance in his bones still have not faded.After playing, he naturally took over the offensive banner of the Pistons, and made consecutive breakthrough layups to help the Pistons solve their urgent needs.Driven by Wade, other players in the Pistons began to slowly recover, but at the end of the first quarter, they were still 25 points behind 35 to 10, which made Brown's face look like it was going to rain.

To be on the safe side, Brown did not replace Wade in the second quarter, but let him continue to lead the bench lineup on the court. In terms of offense alone, Brown still believes in his own gang of bench gangsters.However, the feeling of the main player today seems to have spread to the bench. Crawford also missed consecutive shots. Fortunately, Haywood was still fighting for offensive rebounds under the basket.After missing two shots, Diaw has consciously turned into a high post support point, hoping to help the team in another way.

This made Brown feel very helpless. He turned his head and asked: "Chang, why do you say that players suddenly lose their hands in some games? They didn't encounter strict defense either! This made me feel that the previous shooting training was a waste of effort." .”

Chang Wei smiled and said: "Coach, there are many things on the field that cannot be explained by science, which is why the strong team can't beat the weak team 100% in a certain game. And our current situation is not as expected It’s so bad, with Dwayne’s breakthrough, at least we can continue to increase points, but it’s not as smooth as before..."

Seeing that Brown still looked worried, Chang Wei's expression became serious. He was silent for a while, and whispered: "Dwayne is my favorite rookie. I believe in his strength. If he is given unlimited firepower , I think he can make more contributions.” Brown nodded, stood up and walked to the sidelines, muttered something to Wade who was running over, and patted him on the shoulder before returning to his seat and said, "I hope he won't let us down..."

Brown's instruction to Wade was simple, that is, he should completely take over the offense, and the others would help him stretch the floor.Such instructions undoubtedly liberated Wade. He scored consecutive points from inside and outside, helping the Pistons get closer to the score.Seeing him galloping across the field, Chang Wei felt very gratified. Although it is still difficult for Wade to replicate his amazing performance when he won the championship for the first time in his previous life with his current strength and experience, this sharp sword is slowly blooming. Dazzling light.Of course, it is very important that Brown accepted Chang Wei's suggestion, otherwise, with his habit of not using rookies, he does not know when Wade will be able to make his debut.

Wade did not rest throughout the second quarter. He scored 14 points and 5 assists in a single quarter. At the end of the half, he helped the Pistons narrow the point difference to 3 points, which is almost negligible.His outstanding performance also boosted the morale of the Pistons, and Brown laughed from ear to ear. This can be regarded as saving the entire team. Brown can't imagine if the Pacers continue to expand the score, whether the Pistons can hold themselves Fortunately, he still has Wade.

But despite this, Brown has no intention of letting Wade replace Hamilton as the team's starting shooting guard.In his view, Hamilton is a system player who can play an important role in the Pistons' tactical system, while Wade can score alone, and he is more suitable for unscrupulous shots during the rotation time, so that it will not destroy the team. chemical reaction.But if you let Chang Wei say it, he definitely supports Wade to become the new core player of the Pistons. His ability and potential are enough for him to sit in this position, but if it is only as a super sixth man, as long as Wade has no objections, That's no problem, anyway, he is still very young, he still has a long career, who knows what will happen in the future?
