NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 165 Between the Powerful

After the Pistons' substitutes were killed, they also fought hard. As the top team in the East, they also began to shamelessly increase the playing time of the main players, a bit like this is the taste of the playoffs.

Losing doesn't mean you can't lose, but losing to the Suns is just uncomfortable. Could it be that they can't even do the Suns without Stoudemire? It seems a bit unreasonable.

But the main attack of the Pistons is just like that, it's just two or three grades better than the substitutes.

The Suns didn't follow suit, they had many soldiers and generals, D'Antoni took on the demeanor of a famous coach, and the main force had enough rest.

The Suns' bench can really compete with the Pistons' main force for a period of time, which may have been unimaginable last season, but a young team like the Suns is constantly growing, and last season was not the ultimate in their strength.

If it weren't for Stoudemire's surgery, the Suns would be a super strong team this season, which can overwhelm the rest of the league.

Generally, super teams have to wait for their own internal collapse. For example, after Russell and Stoudemire are both signed to big contracts, the team’s salaries cannot support so many people, so they can only send some away. If it is like football, the rest of the league I will study with the prince for a long time.

After fighting with the Suns' bench lineup, the Pistons players were a little confused.

It's unscientific. Last season's champions played back and forth with their main players. Why is it downgraded now? Could it be that their strength has dropped so much, but they won the previous game again.

When the main force of the Suns returned in the final quarter, the Pistons suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.

Fortunately, coach Sanders is not Larry Brown. He immediately changed his tactics and allowed the team to increase the outside offense.

In fact, the Pistons' lineup is really suitable for inside offense. Daben is a fan of confidence, but he just can't attack, and Rashid is actually an inside line that he wants to pull out.

Larry Brown was determined not to make three-pointers before, and winning a championship was a blind cat and a dead mouse.

Now that Larry Brown has gone to the Knicks for bad money, the Pistons' offense is better.

However, the Pistons lineup is a bit outdated, and it takes some luck to break out of the East.

After the Pistons moved their attack outward, in addition to Billups hitting Russell, Hamilton also started to shoot from the three-point line.

It is impossible for a player like Hamilton to have no shooting ability. Larry Brown didn't let them shoot from beyond the three-point line and they degenerated. If the coach is changed, the shooting rate will definitely increase.

There is also Rashid, although he is a bit convulsive outside the three-point line, but he is tall and has long arms, and he can also shoot against the defense, which is more convenient than outside players.

In the future, many big players will be able to shoot three-pointers. In addition to increasing tactical flexibility, it is actually easier for big players to shoot than small players. Generally speaking, basketball is still a game for big players.

After the Pistons changed their style of play, they immediately felt it. Rasheed made two three-pointers, and the score was caught up.

Russell was also a little surprised, he had never seen such a Piston.

The key point is that the Pistons players feel really good today. First, Billups made a small explosion, and then Rashid came to the magic ball at a critical moment. As a first-tier team in the league, the Pistons are still not easy to play.

Russell also reminded his teammates to try to defend as much as possible. The Pistons should not be afraid of playing inside, but they must not let them shoot three-pointers completely. Three-pointers can kill people at critical moments.

On the side of the sun, the offense naturally cannot be left behind.

After Russell went up, he immediately scored a super long-range three-pointer.

The ultra-long-range three-pointer is not a secret weapon, but a trick to deter other teams.

No matter what opponent they face, if they want to defend against Russell's ultra-long distance, the defensive system must be changed.

Now only Russell shoots like this, so they have to use an unfamiliar defensive system, and it is easy for the Suns to seize the opportunity to play various exquisite coordination.

Now Russell came up with full firepower, which also caused a lot of trouble for the Pistons' defense.

As long as the defense is expanded, there will be more opportunities to find loopholes, and Russell can send instant passes at any time.

As a result, the two teams turned into an offensive battle in the final quarter, scoring hundreds of points in half the time.

The Pistons feel really good this time, but the Suns have rested for a few days, and the three-point line is not so accurate.

"Billups passed in seconds, Hamilton's catcher went up and down, and the Suns' defense was just a little bit slower. Today, Billups' assist efficiency can be said to be as good as Russell's."

"Russell actually increased his personal shots. His breakthrough was blocked this time. It can be seen that Russell has not improved much in this regard. As a defender, his speed is only average, but... he turned around and leaned back. He was very determined and hit again. Russell is already the leading scorer on both teams."

"The Suns made a mistake, the Pistons predicted the Suns' pass, Rasheed made a long-arm steal... a beautiful pass, and the Pistons also played a fast break."

"The game has come to the last 2 minutes, Russell made a long pass to Gerrard, and the latter used a dunk to help the Suns gain a 4-point lead."

"The time is running out, the Pistons have to hit the ball. Billups is dribbling, Rasheed comes to the pick-and-roll, the two of them are also very dangerous in the pick-and-roll, and Hamilton is still running without the ball.  … Great, Billups also hit a three-pointer directly."

"Russell controlled the time, and the Suns led by 1 point. The Pistons did not intend to use foul tactics. Even if the Suns used up all the attacking time, they still had an offensive opportunity. What they had to do was to defend the ball."

"It's rare that Russell didn't call a screen. He let his teammates pull away. He was going to singles."

"Billups looked serious, and his concentration was very concentrated. In the last few seconds of the offensive clock, Russell moved, and he was about to break through with a cross step. Billups predicted well and blocked Russell's position firmly. "

"Russell turned around and looked like he was being punched. Billups was full of confidence. His strength is very good among defenders. Russell leaned twice and didn't move, but he turned and fell back again. The shot...was a fake! When Billups didn't fall for it, it was a very good defense, Russell's rhythm was broken. Incredible, Russell broke the rhythm and just shot without jumping..."

"It's a bit of a big player... Nowitzki's taste, but this ball was scored. The real superstar, this is the performance of the MVP, Billups is very upset."

"The Pistons came back from a timeout, and it was their last play, and they had to shoot a [-]. The Suns defended very well, and the Pistons didn't have any chances, and the clock was running out... What happened, how did they pass the ball to the In Daben's hand, Daben was also stunned, and shot the ball according to the trend, but he didn't make a hit, it was a mistake!"

"The Suns and the Pistons, in the new season's strong duel, the Suns played well at the last moment and had the last laugh. With a three-point gap, the Pistons' undefeated gold is regrettably broken."
