NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 146 Back to Home
"Stoudemire didn't hit the free throw ... The Pistons started the offense, Rasheed hit his trademark straight arm shot, and the Pistons saw hope."

"The Pistons sent Stoudemire to the free throw line again, and Stoudemire made one of two free throws."

"It's a pity that Billups missed a shot. They will definitely foul Stoudemire. Will the Suns replace Stoudemire?"

"Stoudemire is still on the court, and the Suns chose to trust him."

"It's time to test Stoudemire's free throw again, and the second free throw...hit!"

"The Pistons made quick free throws, and they have no timeout... The Pistons still miss the shot, there is no time... The referee has already blown the whistle, the Suns won the game point away, and they won the battle of Tianwangshan."

Stoudemire's free throw was just average at the last moment, but they still withstood the pressure.

After the game, Stoudemire also had lingering fears, "I really need to strengthen free throws. Fortunately, we still won. This feeling is great, much better than that difficult process."

The direct opportunity for today's victory is Horry's three-pointer, but the premise is Stoudemire's stable performance.

D'Antoni also praised: "He is the center of our offense. We need him to play inside and then create opportunities for the outside. If we don't combine inside and outside, we will be far away from our goal."

Russell thanked Horry after the game. He said: "Our opponent is the defending champion, and they are difficult to deal with. At this time, Robert stood up. He knows how to win the championship."

The Pistons were not discouraged. Their head coach Larry Brown said after the game, "I have been with this group of players for two years. They have never let me down in the game that must be won. They are real men. We'll get back up."

"Everyone is not optimistic about us, only we believe in our competitiveness and believe that we can achieve our goals. Next, you will see our resilience."

In any case, Detroit's game is over, Russell and the others took the lead back to Phoenix.

The team received a hero's welcome, and even though they haven't won a championship, they are already the best team in the hearts of fans.

The young man was naturally greatly encouraged, Stoudemire yelled: "Finally came to our territory, we must let those guys feel it."

Russell couldn't help but said: "You can't relax at home, but it's different for me."

Thinking of the melee fight inside the Pistons, Stoudemire couldn't help but twitched.

Fortunately, the cheers of the home fans can give him motivation. As long as he wins the game, he will have a wonderful holiday immediately.

Both sides only adjusted for one day, which still has a slight advantage for the home team.

Before the game even started, the fans of the Suns put out the biggest decibels.

For the Suns, who have never won a championship, the fans are also full of enthusiasm.

The sound in the stadium can be linked with the sound outside. Pistons players have seen big scenes, but the sun is obviously a special situation.

"Don't care about these, winning is everything." Larry Brown said.

"We are very clear, sir." Billups said seriously.

At least in terms of salary, the Pistons are a civilian team. As the defending champions, none of their players have received tens of millions of annual salary in a season.

The Suns, who are full of rookie contracts, also have Marion's level of more than tens of millions.

So the Pistons players are actually very eager to prove themselves again. If they can defend the title, many of them will have a big next contract. After all, their insiders on the bench can get very good contracts last season.

Of course, their current achievements can also ensure that they get a good contract, but competitive athletes, who doesn't want to be the top batch.

There are so many players in the league who can't even win the championship with big contracts. Why can't they get the best contract, and why they haven't received enough respect after winning the championship.

The Pistons didn't want the game to be over, they wanted to get to the top again and prove that their championship wasn't luck.

So at the beginning of the game, the confrontation between the two sides was very fierce.

To defeat the sixth game, the two teams are too familiar with each other, and the various tactics are very targeted.

However, in order to bite the score, the Pistons paid a greater price.

Because it is already the home court of the Suns, if some of their moves are still so big.See you all at the free throw line then.

Home court advantage Home court advantage, if there is no advantage at home, what will the Suns do to fight for the first place in the league.

Of course, the referees in the finals will not clearly favor whom, but the problem of scale can benefit one side.

The Pistons' defense, without the referee's penalty scale, they will not be so comfortable.

Of course, the Pistons' defense is still very good, but they need to move faster, pounce harder, and naturally consume more.

The score did not open all at once, but the potential advantages were slowly accumulating.

"Everyone pay attention to protect the rebound, this game is ours." Russell said loudly.

The Pistons play very smartly. If the guard delays the win, he will foul directly if he sees that the situation is wrong. In this way, there are no free throws. It doesn't matter if the guard commits one or two fouls, and it can also protect the team inside.

"It's really a team that is good at using the rules, but unfortunately the offense really can't keep up with the times." Russell sneered.

Back at home, the Suns are excited, but Russell will control the tempo.

With him around, the Suns would not be able to mess around, and he is also very familiar with how to beat the Pistons.

Without accidents, the Suns have a winning percentage of more than [-]% at home.

From the current point of view, the hit rate of both sides is normal, so Russell is full of confidence.

However, the Pistons' offense has actually changed a little bit. They secretly started to try three-pointers.

It's a pity that Russell is very sensitive to three-pointers and keeps reminding his teammates to defend.

In this case, Billups relied on hard power to hit Russell.

It seems that Larry Brown is not that stubborn. When the team reaches the edge of a cliff, he has to do something.

It's a pity that the three-pointer doesn't mean that you can have it if you want it. The Suns have spent a whole season practicing and are familiar with the tactics to reach the current level.

Defense is not that simple, likewise, offense is not that simple.

In terms of score, the stalemate has always been there, but the situation is slowly changing after all.

Rasheed Wallace had a little foul problem, and Daben controlled it very well, but Rasheed took care of both inside and outside, and his temper was relatively impatient, so he still couldn't hold back his strike.

This is the opportunity. The Pistons are the best in rebounding, but the lack of height inside will definitely be affected.

McDyess moves slowly, and the Suns have two choices at this time, go to Varejao to increase the height of the inside, or continue to play a small lineup to bully McDyess' mobility.
