Chapter 480 Winning the First Eastern Conference Finals

The Pacers lost in the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals. The Pistons had a small test and had a practical understanding of the Pacers. The overall strength of the Pacers should not be underestimated, especially their center (Jermaine O'Neal). The key to the player's victory, if this person can be guarded, the Pistons will undoubtedly win.

Except for Jermaine O'Neal, the rest is Reggie Miller. If the Pistons can guard against these two, they should have no problem winning this series.

Despite the defeat in the first game, Coach Brown still has enough confidence in his players and believes that they will be able to bring back the coveted victory for the Motor City.

For the Pistons and Coach Brown, the most important thing right now is to forget about the loss in the last game, devote themselves to training, go all out, strive to win the next game, equalize the total score, and return to the home court for a decisive battle.

Two nights later, the second game of the Eastern Conference Finals was played at the Pacers' home court according to the original schedule. This game was another battle of losing home court advantage. The Pistons were not [-]% sure that they could win the game, but they had enough confidence To win this game, you just need to pay a little price.

The Pacers' home game was still the same as the last game, with a lot of voices, a lively atmosphere, bursts of applause, and extremely lively.

Jermaine O'Neill played a jump ball with Wallace amidst the noise, boiling, screaming and applause. In this game, Wallace was in good condition. After some encouraging jump ball competition, Wallace Overwhelmed Jermaine O'Neill to win the first wave of possession.

The Pistons won the first wave of ball possession. Neal organized the offense with the ball, dribbled across the center line, and made a breakthrough layup. Body collisions, and Neil stares at the referee for a foul after he falls to the ground after wrestling.

The referee didn't give it, but squinted at him.

After being blocked by the Pacers center, Neil's feel and state disappeared instantly, and he shot one after another and hit the iron one after another.

Seeing that Neil was not in good condition, Brown replaced him for a rest and let Hamilton take his place.

After Neal was replaced, the Pistons started a point-chasing counterattack under the leadership of Hamilton.

But the score was behind, coupled with all the hustle and bustle of the away game, the taunts and sneers disturbed people's minds, and they were extremely impetuous. They didn't make any shots, and their shooting percentage was pitifully low. Relying on the tough defense, the tug-of-war was carried out. After the first quarter, the score between the two sides was 12:17, and the Pistons were temporarily behind by five points.

The fans gathered in front of the TV, Louis, Nuana, and Lavender watched the first quarter, and the score was five points behind the Pacers. The score of the two sides also hit a new low. There is a huge disparity, and it still looks like a replica of the last game, but no matter how the situation changes on the field, they still firmly believe that the Pistons have enough strength to bring back a victory from Indiana, and they will definitely not make the total score [-]-[-].

Everyone involved with the Pistons really wants the Pistons to win, and they put their hands together and pray that the Pistons will bring back the fruits of victory.

When Neal was substituted, Coach Brown talked to Neal a lot. He told him that if you feel out of shape and can’t make shots, then try to lead the team to score points in other ways and means. Remember not to force your shots and go head-to-head. Basket, sometimes scoring is as important as assisting.

Two or three minutes into the second quarter, Neal won Brown's trust and returned to the battle in a leather jacket.

Neil, who reappeared, seemed to have listened to Coach Brown's words. He no longer smacked himself on the rampage, but handled every attack with a good golf intelligence.

Under his leadership, the Pistons changed blood again. Although he couldn't make a shot, his teammates still trusted him and were willing to let him handle the ball. However, the more his teammates trusted him, the more pressure he felt. Why did this happen? ?
Because he is always out of form, it is tantamount to making a joke about the rise and fall of a team. The meaning and mission of the team is to create happiness for people. If loyal fans cannot see the hope of winning for a long time, if they want to be happy, then Almost impossible.

Based on this, we must focus on the overall situation and not be willful. Happiness and happiness are often based on happiness.

This is also the reason why Neil repositioned his career after his reappearance.

As the saying goes: "If you meet the strong, you will be strong, and if you meet the weak, you will be weak."

It stands to reason that the Pacers would be blown up if the Pistons were on fire, but the Pacers were not blown up, but instead inspired their resilience and made them indomitable.

In the second quarter, the Pistons performed extremely well on both ends of the offense and defense, but the Pistons were still unable to overtake the score. Instead, in the last attack of the second quarter, Reggie Miller of the Pacers made an emergency stop jump shot. Failed to reduce the score, but was stretched by one point.

The Pistons fans were extremely frustrated. They really didn't understand how the Pistons played against the Five Tigers.

In the first half, the Pistons put in a lot of hardships and efforts on both ends of the offense and defense, but the score was still behind. It is really not a problem to continue playing like this.

Regardless of whether they can win in the end, the Pistons have made up their minds to win.

Returning from the intermission, the Pistons learned the Pacers' defensive tactics, employment tactics, and offensive tactics from the Pacers' last game and this game so far.

This imitation brought all the members of the Pistons back to life and became themselves again, with a wave of [-] to [-], narrowing the point difference to only one point.

The coach of the Pacers saw that the Pistons were going to get up and couldn't let them do things, so he hurriedly called a timeout. He originally wanted to take the opportunity to seize the last attack and increase the score, but who would have thought that Reggie Miller He was slapped by Rasheed's hat and slapped fiercely in Neil's direction. Neil jumped up and passed the ball to Hamilton. Suddenly, the opponent thought that he was really going to break through, and he messed up his position. Hamilton took advantage of his unpreparedness and made a quick and fast fadeaway jump shot. It is gratifying to stand up and share for him, and it is something to be proud of and learn from.

"It's a good thing that we have the guts to equalize the lagging score in this quarter. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be too late in the fourth quarter." After dealing with the complicated matters at the moment, Coach Brown said with a sigh of relief.

In the fourth quarter, Wallace, Rasheed, and Prince strengthened their defense one after another, keeping the restricted area extremely small.

The two teams saw each other for five or six minutes, and it was always difficult to score. They could not sit still and either step forward, or give up and surrender early. It is impossible to give up and surrender.

As the game time dwindles, the two teams play more and more tensely, and both want to win. Who can win?

Through the tug-of-war, Brown found that the Pacers could not overtake them. He called a timeout and asked the players to unite and cooperate to shoot a three-pointer to end the game. He was sentenced to death for a three-pointer.

Originally, the Pacers had a chance to tie the game, but unfortunately the three-pointer was interfered, and they bounced out of the basket. The Pistons came back and sent a two-pointer, which sent them to the eight-second guillotine. Unfortunately, they missed the eight-second chance and had to watch Watch the Pistons take home the win.
