Chapter 468 Advance Four to One
The Pistons won the third game, and the Pistons have achieved a [-]-[-] lead. For the Bucks, the disparity in strength was huge, but now they are behind in the total score. They really don't know how to play the next game.

Now what the Bucks think is to resolutely win the fourth game. If they can win the fourth game, they may still be able to avoid being eliminated by the Pistons.

In order to prevent the Pistons from winning the match point, the Bucks started a new round of training.

After two days of hard training, the Bucks continued to face the aggressive Pistons at home. There was no change in the starting players of both sides.

The game started as scheduled in a lively atmosphere.

Considering the importance of this game, the Bucks caught the Pistons by surprise at the beginning. Fortunately, coach Brown called a timeout in time to avoid falling behind too much.

Back from the timeout, the Pistons fought steadily to recover the trailing score. After that, they always relied on a kind of tenacity to bite the score. After the first quarter, the Pistons took a 28-27 lead by one point to enter the game. second half.

In the second quarter, the offense and defense of the two teams were extremely fierce and tough. You had one goal and I had another goal, and entered the offensive mode, especially the core of the two teams, Neal and Reed’s offensive. After that, the whole person changed and became extremely powerful, able to rush, pass, shoot, pick and roll, screen, and defend. In double figures, and Reed scored only a disastrous six points.

The fans were extremely tired of Neal's existence, and collectively reminded the Bucks to play five players, and they must try to limit Neal, followed by Hamilton. If Neal cannot be effectively restricted, the Bucks will find it difficult to tie the game. Can be slaughtered.

However, the Bucks are gratified that even though Neal is so invincible, they can still rely on their overall performance to bite the score. Therefore, from the beginning to the present, they do not want to pay a heavy price in defense, especially if there is no way to win. Er, the Bucks coach is very troubled, and he dare not double-team Neil at all. Once double-teamed, the team is very likely to be more passive. The main reason for Neil's tactics.

Because Neal became invincible and became a singles expert, the Bucks coach privately watched and studied the videos of Neal's previous games. He concluded a point through the previous videos and previous materials.

Neal, a player, must not participate in the assist defense. If he is double-teamed and assist defense, his IQ is extremely high. Once he is in a passive situation, he will take the initiative to ask his teammates for help and let his teammates accompany him to tide over the difficulties, and he will choose to pass. Ball, choose to use IQ and golf quotient to solve the current situation.

Players like Neal are terrifying, the most difficult to deal with, double-team defense is not enough, single defense, Kidd can't defend, we can't just sit and wait, we have to deal with Neal like a two-way strategy, and deal with the current situation. This reluctant to spend money, but such a strong team.

After some discussions and arrangements, the Bucks coach finally decided to implement a half-team and half-single defense mode for Neal.

This adjustment has obvious effects. The coaches and players of the Bucks are very aware that this game is very important. They know that this game is very important. A few offensive rebounds or backcourt rebounds, they can win.

The Bucks coach used the right tactics, and the players cooperated well. However, the overall strength is still too bad. Originally, the Bucks performed very well in the first three quarters, but for some reason, it was often the fourth or fourth quarter. It will collapse in the third and fourth quarters, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as an army defeated like a mountain.

In fact, in the fourth game, if the Bucks can always have a kind of tenacity like the first three quarters, can bite the score, and resolutely not give up until the last moment, they will not lose the game, and they will not lose more than ten points in the fourth quarter , directly ruined the victory of the game.

Two consecutive losses at home, in the heart of the Bucks fans, the word desolation is not enough to express the desolation and frustration in their hearts.

Why do you say that?Because of the two-game losing streak at home, they are already one to three behind. If they want to complete a one-to-three reversal like the Pistons did against the Magic last year, it seems that it can only be regarded as a legend in the hearts of fans, and it cannot happen to the Bucks. Even if the deer win the second game, it will be a narrow victory. Although the fans can't say they can play, most fans know that the difference in strength will lead to that kind of narrow victory, and the loss will lead to a big defeat.

Fans have their own little calculations, no matter how others predict winning or losing, there is an unchanging truth in their hearts: Only when the disparity in strength is too large will there be a big victory or a big defeat.

Today's Bucks fans no longer expect anything from the Bucks. They just hope that they don't lose too badly, and they can do their best to win the fifth game, and they will be satisfied.

Three days later, the competition moved from Milwaukee to Detroit. This game was a battle of life and death for the Bucks. If they lost, they would be out. If they won, there was still a glimmer of hope for advancement.

In this high-profile game, the Pistons will never be merciless, because the Magic last season was a practical example. If Tracy McGrady is not proud and complacent and thinks that he will win, the team will win, and the Magic will definitely win. It is possible to become the reappearance of the miracle of the Black Eight, but it is a pity that they lost three games in a row and were abruptly reversed by the Pistons. Therefore, before the Pistons started, Coach Brown repeatedly emphasized to his beloved players.

Even though they are the first to get the match point right now, they must not be careless and cannot follow the path of last year's Magic.

Forewarned is forearmed, without prejudging the waste.

Brown's painstaking emphasis helped the team establish a sense of urgency, so that in the fifth game, the Bucks were pressed by the Pistons and played three quarters. Among them, they won the first quarter by two points and the second quarter by five points. , but in this quarter of the game, both sides spent a lot of money on defense, and both sides scored less than [-] points; in the third quarter, the Bucks fell behind and reached a new high. The lucky quarter for the fans and spectators was the fourth quarter, the only quarter the Bucks won in a single quarter, but it was funny to win. They beat the Pistons by one point in the fourth quarter.

Although both sides played very hard in each game, the Pistons won in the end, not the Bucks. In addition to the overall strength of the team, it is also related to the coach's employment, the confidence and courage of the players.

For the Bucks, being eliminated [-]-[-] is not a shame, because [-]-[-], they have successfully defeated everyone in the league who predicted that they would be swept out.

What they think in their hearts now is the same as all the Pistons.

May those who are out of the game start again in failure, and hope that those who advance will continue to work hard, singing along the way, struggling to touch and win the O'Brien Cup, and realizing what a basketball player thinks and hopes in his heart.
