Chapter 128 Wallace with a broken mentality and the Magic team with all their cards
"Defense!"
"Defense!"
"Defense!"
Just listening to the shouts of the Magic fans in the audience, it is easy to think that this is the last few minutes of the game.
But actually...
This started in less than 3 minutes!
The blushing Magic fans thought the same thing as all the Magic players who were fighting against the Pistons with high intensity!
Treat every minute of this game as if it was the last minute!
In the last game, the Pistons made an effort at the beginning. The high-intensity confrontation and suffocating defense directly stumped the newcomers of the Magic.
And now, the Magic want to give it all back!
How did you beat us last time, so how will we beat you this time!
is it hard?
difficult!
But isn't what the Magic are doing a difficult thing?
Billups and Hamilton crossed positions outside the three-point line, watching the person in front of him change from Li Wan to Bogans, he no longer looked for his teammates, but devoted himself to his personal offense .
Continuous dribbling changed the rhythm, and then, Billups suddenly started, through a breakthrough emergency stop, forced back Bogans, and successfully hit a jumper.
This is the first goal scored by the Pistons in this game.
What is a "big heart"!
Why do you call me "Mr. Key"!
Billups used this ball to prove his ability.
The Magic still had Lee Wan holding the ball, and as he approached the three-point line, Wallace felt Howard behind him getting more and more excited.
"Warcraft"'s lower body strength is not top in the league, at least in front of Yao Ming and O'Neal, his top defense and post-ups at the basket are the "younger brother".
Do not!
"The younger brother of younger brothers"!
Rasheed Wallace's lower body is not as good as the above two, but compared with "Warcraft", he should have a certain advantage.
But at this moment...
He can't stand anymore...
Damn, what's going on!
Did you take the wrong medicine?
He had to fight Howard harder.
But at this time, Li Wan moved!
Because of his mid-range shot, Billups had to keep a closer distance to Li Wan, especially when Li Wan stepped inside the three-point line, he had to get a little closer.
Li Wan seized this gap, exerted a sudden force on his feet, and passed him in one step.
When Wallace reacted, Li Wan had already stepped on the line of the reasonable collision zone and took off.
but……
Wallace is not the only insider of the Pistons!
Next to him, McDyess returned to the defensive shrinking formation in time.
"You really dare to let go!"
If McDyess took a closer look when he rushed over, he would find that Li Wan took the initiative to find a confrontation with him after jumping up, and did not hold the ball high, preparing for a layup or dunk.
This in itself is "bait"!
Li Wan, who jumped in the air, shook his little hand, and the ball flew straight from McDyess's side to Lewis who was ambushing in the bottom corner.
Lao Tzu is the 10th "Mr. Billionaire" in NBA history...
You guys really think I don't exist!
let me go?
The bullet is loaded and pierces Yang with a hundred steps!
The score is 10-2!
Sanders had to call a timeout.
This move once again stimulated the fans at the scene.
Before the start of the game, they shouted excitedly, and as the game started, they continued to use their shouts to convey enthusiasm for the Magic players.
But even they didn't expect that the Magic, which returned to Amway Arena tonight, would play against the Pistons so much!
If you change the uniforms of the two teams in this game, you will find that...
This game is completely copying the opening of the previous game.
The Magic guys...
Grow so fast!
This is what Sanders is thinking at the moment.
The Pistons crushed this team in the last game. He thought that to a certain extent, it should be able to frustrate this team's spirit.
Unexpectedly, these guys are indomitable!
Not only does it not scratch...
The ability to learn is really fast!
So quickly, he learned the high-intensity defense of the Pistons.
Still used it!
Sanders really didn't think wrong about this matter. In the replay yesterday, in addition to pointing out the problems of each player one-on-one, what Stan Van Gundy made the players watch the most was the Pistons' opening defense. .
Everyone knows that whether the defense is good or bad, physical fitness is not fundamental, enthusiasm and energy will make up for these problems to the greatest extent.
Is the overall defense of the Pistons strong?
powerful!
But is it really unbreakable?
not necessarily!
Ben Wallace is the core figure of this team's defense. His departure will have an inevitable impact on the entire defense of the Pistons.
That kind of timely defense by inside players is no longer suffocating in this Pistons team.
Otherwise, even if LeBron broke out, in the fourth quarter of Game [-] of the Eastern Conference finals last season, it would have been impossible for him to break through the inside to score again and again.
However, any team with a top-level frame protection ability on the inside cannot allow a guy who can only break through to play such an offensive power.
Just look at the Spurs in the 07 Finals.
The Pistons are relying more on that energy to go all out!
Whether it's offensive or defensive...
"They have their energy, we have our blood!"
These are the last words Stan Van Gundy said after the resumption yesterday.
In short, just one word: fight!
How ruthless they are, how ruthless the Magic team will be today!
It turns out...
The Pistons will be confused too!
However, it is not yet time to relax.
The game has just started, is an 8-point lead called a lead?
Keep fighting!
The game restarts.
The Pistons once again showed their great adjustment ability.
In the first round, Hamilton went around a tactical screen and completed a mid-range jumper.
4-10!
At the same time, their entire defensive strategy for the Magic has changed.
The defensive method targeted at the characteristics of the Magic's players in the previous game is here again!
And, after another day of training, is becoming more and more proficient!
Lewis made his second [-]-pointer, and McDyess was eating and waiting when he caught the ball.
Successful interference!
Rasheed Wallace got the rebound during the confrontation.
When he realized that the basket was "wrong" tonight, he regained his form and was able to "[-]-[-]" with Howard at the basket again.
Last possession, Howard protected their rebounds, and this round, he also protected the Pistons' rebounds.
Billups quickly counterattacked with the ball, or Hamilton's shot after going around the screen...
Miss!
With the cooperation of Wallace, McDyess grabbed the rebound and scored from close range!
After the Pistons' goal, the Magic's opening lead was also tied by the Pistons.
"Rookie, did you see that? This is the biggest difference between us and you guys. Basketball doesn't lie, and a little trick will eventually be crushed by hard power!"
Wallace started cursing.
Sanders off the court also took a satisfied smile and glanced at Stan Van Gundy on the other side.
did you see?
This is the adjustment ability of the team that has reached the Eastern Conference Finals for 5 consecutive times!
Want to beat us to death with a stick?
I really thought we were weak chickens like the Raptors!
However, what surprised him was that Stan Van Gundy didn't stand on the sidelines and shout loudly as usual.
He remembered that in the last game, Stan Van Gundy was almost screaming out of smoke!
This……
It's kind of weird...
Question: Under what circumstances will a head coach with a fiery coaching style suddenly become quiet.
Sanders thought: Could it be that he has lost confidence?
But in fact, he forgot that there is another possibility.
That is……
tension!
When people are stressed, they often become different from normal.
People who talk less are likely to chatter.
People who talk too much may say "silence is golden".
Stan Van Gundy, for that matter.
He is nervous!
because……
The next performance of the Magic will determine the direction of this game.
Stan Van Gundy never imagined that they could kill the Pistons with one stick!
No team has ever done it, and the Magic can't do it either...
Since one stick can't kill you, let's get a few more sticks!
On the court, Li Wan gave the ball to Turkoglu.
The entire Pistons defense immediately became a 2-1-2 formation.
Because the Turks especially like to give outside players.
They need to maximize the expansion of the defensive formation, and timely defend the Magic players who receive the ball from the outside, especially Li Wan and Lewis.
According to data feedback, they are the most likely…
"Bah!"
The Pistons' attention was being attracted by the running positions of Li Wan and Lewis, and Turkoglu suddenly threw the ball towards the basket.
Stan Van Gundy convinced him that there was no problem above the rim that Howard couldn't solve.
Howard also proved that there is indeed no ball above the basket that he can't catch!
A "Sakuragi Hanamichi" style two-handed catch.
The body also appeared in the air for a short time...
Then just like that, with Rasheed Wallace staring blankly, the ball was smashed into the basket. ——At that time, his attention was also on Li Wan and Lewis, ready to defend at any time.
The temperature at the scene, which had been slightly cooled, rose again!
Just like the fire that Zhuge Liang set off in Shangfanggu, it suddenly caused a cloud of white smoke, which quickly enveloped the entire arena.
"Defense!"
"Defense!"
"Defense!"
The passion for shouting was rekindled.
Especially Li Wan and Howard.
Billups couldn't hold the ball and direct from outside the three-point line at all, because Li Wan was constantly creating confrontation, so he had to focus on Li Wan's two long arms.
At this moment, Billups also found out that Li Wan's length is comparable to that of Prince!
Wallace was still looking ugly.
He put the energetic Howard behind him and barely got stuck.
Can……
He felt something hard against him.
At first, Wallace thought that Howard played with a stick.
Wait for him to react...
He was speechless immediately!
This Nima!
He could feel Howard's enthusiasm and excitement tonight.
but……
What the hell is it to fight hard?
You are so poisonous!
This world is too crazy, Wallace with his back to Howard, doesn't dare poke his ass easily now.
"Dangdang!"
Hamilton missed a mid-range jumper.
Howard, who was standing behind Wallace, turned around when the "CIC King" jumped up, and secretly pushed Wallace away without a trace.
Wallace, who didn't have a big butt, couldn't stand at all. With such a push, he fell out, and Howard easily grabbed the defensive rebound.
Turning around, he gave Wallace a fiery look!
If there was no contact just now, Wallace would definitely think that this was provoking him.
But in the confrontation just now, what he felt made him very clear...
This grandson is not provoking him!
But...
Really want * him!
I*……
Wallace has always been a passionate defender and opponent.
But he really has no foundation!
Also, even if you're flirtatious, does just hitting a ball really get you this excited?
He also didn't know that Howard had just opened the door to a new world.
What is freshness!
Wallace shook his head speechlessly. Sanders next to him looked at him and cursed: "Why are you soft, Rasheed? Be tougher, tougher, your defense is not as hard as your trash talk!"
Li Wan passed by, and when he heard this, he yelled deeply: "It's soft enough, softer than Gary Payton's diarrhea that day!"
He was actually a little bit curious.
At the beginning, although Howard gained the upper hand by relying on the "little trick" on the basket, but soon Li Wan found that Wallace saw the clues and fought Howard again.
But this round, it was obviously weak...
Is it going to die so soon! ?
Should not be!
Although Howard is the "rebounding king" this season, his dominance at the basket should not have reached the level of surpassing the first level.
What Li Wan didn't expect was that Rasheed Wallace looked at him angrily, but didn't speak. His expression seemed to be a bit broken.
This……
What the hell is it?
There were many doubts in his heart, and when he passed halftime, he put it aside, regrouped, and leaned towards Billups with the ball.
In the third game of the series, Li Wan faced Billups with the ball and had already taken the initiative.
His height of 2 meters is already unique in the first position.
Plus that explosiveness.
Billups simply can't keep up with his first step.
This is easy to solve, if nothing happens, take two steps back, and you will naturally be able to react.
However, Li Wan's mid-range shooting ability is good, including the least efficient long two-pointer. As long as there is space, he will shoot without hesitation.
Coupled with his "nervous knife" attribute...
It doesn't make sense to invest in it...
Billups really dare not guard against.
There are too many aspects to pay attention to, can he not be passive?
If the Pistons were comfortable on the defensive end, it had to be McDyess. Here, Li Wan held the ball and broke through to the inside, and he immediately moved to the corner.
This point is Lewis' habitual point.
In the offensive tactics of the Magic, they also habitually hit the ball to the bottom corner.
As long as he guards this bottom corner...
Ok?
McDyess froze for a moment.
Because, Lewis, who was running towards the bottom corner, suddenly stopped, twisted his body and walked out again.
Just got to the 45 degree angle of the flank.
Li Wan, who broke through, passed the ball in this direction ahead of time, as if he knew where he was going.
People arrive at the ball.
McDyess' mobility is not bad in the fourth position.
When Lewis walked out, his body followed subconsciously.
But it was still half a step too late...
In front of him, Liu "Yi" Si made a jump shot and scored a three-pointer!
The point difference once again led to 5 points.
Stan Van Gundy watched the three-pointer go into the frame, and he was also cramping. He squeezed his fist and roared in a hoarse voice, just like the cry of the Loch Ness Monster.
"Back to defense!"
"Back to defense!"
"Faster!"
Seeing the effect of the tactics, Van Gundy returned to normal and began to "roar" again.
The start of the Magic made Wallace feel a sense of crisis.
He desperately suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, and fought with Howard again.
"Roaring Tianzun" believes that there is nothing that cannot be overcome by the desire to win.
Until he heard Howard say "Wuhu" during the confrontation...
He softened again.
"Snapped!"
Howard grabbed the cap with both hands, and the Magic counterattacked again.
Looking at the gradually unfamiliar Magic team formation in front of him, Sanders saw the clues, the Magic team guys...
Restrained their playing habits!
And also took advantage of this to "predict" the Pistons' defense...
Played an easy attack.
Of course, this is not what Stan Van Gundy can think of.
He is a typical "bystander is clear, and the authority is obsessed". Later, when he followed his brother to be a commentator, he analyzed it well and flexibly.
Then when he really put on his clothes, he was dumbfounded again...
However, this at least proves that his brain can turn a corner.
So when Li Wan listened to Stan Van Gundy pointing out other people's problems one by one, he deliberately "whispered" to himself: "The Pistons are too defensive against our offensive habits..."
He does not mean that.
Stan Van Gundy reacted immediately and made slight changes to some of the Magic's tactics, such as Turkoglu's pass to the inside, Lewis' 45-degree three-point shot from the wing...
These are also their commonly used scoring methods and points.
But not as common as other tactics.
Coupled with confusing movement...
For example, Lewis's off-the-ball running position that sank to the bottom as usual but suddenly reversed when he was approaching.
At least for these two rounds, the effect can be clearly seen.
The Magic scored easily twice.
but……
How long can it last?
Sanders noticed the change in the Magic, but he was not in a hurry, just watching.Even at the end of the first quarter, the Magic had a 28-20 lead.
He wasn't in a hurry either.
This level of change is always limited!
With the adaptability of the Pistons, they don't have to wait until the next game. It is estimated that they will be familiar with all the changes of the Magic in the second half.
But there is a premise, that is...
In the second quarter, the Magic continued to play like this!
But what Sanders can think of, will Stan Van Gundy not think of it?
His evaluation of the Pistons' ability to adapt is only two words: Niubi!
So in the middle of the second quarter, he waved his hand, Kenyon Dooling came on the court, and once again resorted to the "chopping tactic". Sanders over there responded not slowly this time, and also used the "chopping tactic" to deal with it. .
How would you describe this period of time on the field?
Tang Seng: Do you know what is called "dangdangdangdang", "dangdangdangdangdangdang" means...
only you~
The only one, in the eyes of Stan Van Gundy, is Howard, and in the eyes of Sanders, it is McDyess.
Only when they get the penalty right, the opponent dare not continue to "slash twice".
To say that these two people are ruthless enough, free throws...
I really can't get in!
The two of them were just like the little blacksmiths from Milan, forging all the iron there.
One was 10 for 3 and the other was 10 for 2.
It was Howard who made one more shot.
What is home field advantage?
In the first half, the two teams finally ended 45-40.
Van Gundy was very satisfied, because they took the advantage of the first half to the second half.
At the same time, it did not allow the opponent enough time to adapt to the changes in the Magic's offensive tactics.This set of tactics can make the Pistons uncomfortable for a while in the second half.
So far, everything is according to the plan, so Van Gundy didn't say much during the intermission, brought out a bowl of "chicken soup", let everyone do it, and didn't disturb everyone's rest.
Outside the Pistons locker room on the other side.
Wallace was chatting with the team's psychiatrist.
When the psychiatrist listened to him, he also had an absurd expression on his face.
Are there really such perverted people in this world?
After seriously thinking about what he had learned and heard, the psychiatrist asked himself and answered in his heart: Yes!
This world is much more perverted than imagined...
What Wallace really wanted to ask was, "How do I avoid distractions from this?"
Since it was discovered that Howard was confronting him with a "stick", it had a great impact on his performance in the first half.
The key point came to him suddenly. In the first game, Howard seemed to be ripping off his pants...
Match what you found today.
A bold idea appeared in his mind:
Is there a possibility that...
He was hilarious at the time, and couldn't help but want to do it!
md!
Thinking of this angle, let alone Wallace, no matter how tough a guy is, he has to soften up, right?
Wallace is just that soft.
The psychiatrist gave him a brief counseling, and taught him a set of simple psychological hint skills.
As for how effective it is...
He is not very clear.
The second half started with huge cheers from the fans.
As soon as it came up, it was the offensive round of the Pistons.
The loud slogan sounded again on the field:
"Defense!"
"Defense!"
"Defense!"
Rasheed Wallace gets stuck at the rim while doing what the therapist taught him.
It's not a stick, it's not a stick!
This is Howard's finger, this is Howard's hand...
No, I dare not fight anymore.
This is the stick, this is the stick!
Howard can't beat me, so he can only play with a stick.
He keeps hinting in his heart that there is still some effect, and he finally dares to face up to "just"!
But he suddenly found out...
How come the tougher he is, the more excited Howard is?
Are you going to be so perverted?
"Dangdang!"
Wallace failed to get stuck, and the Pistons could only shoot from the outside.
The two highest scoring Pistons in the regular season are Hamilton and Billups, one averaging 17.3 points per game and the other averaging 17 points per game.
None reached the All-Star level.
This team does not have a top scorer in the league!
The team averaged 97.5 points per game this season, which is not the bottom three in the league, but also the top five in the league.
And when Wallace was unable to support at a high position, their means of resolving the battle was even more single.
Howard successfully grabbed the rebound again.
The Magic team once again relied on subtle movement adjustments in the frontcourt, which caused discomfort to the Pistons. Li Wan broke through the inside and scored a layup.
The point difference came to 7 points!
"fxxk!"
Sanders called a timeout.
Wallace was so freaking out tonight.
The psychiatrist did not tell Sanders about Wallace. After all, this was just Wallace's unilateral rhetoric. If too many people knew about it, if it got out and Howard handed back a lawyer's letter, they would be the ones who would be unlucky.
"It seems that you can't deal with Howard, Antonio, you can deal with Howard, Rasheed, don't tell me, you can't even deal with Lewis!"
"Then why don't you get ready to sit on the bench!"
Wallace wanted to say, I'm sure I can beat him.that is……
Think about it again, this way, you don't have to match up with that pervert who comes on the court with a stick, and you can play well by yourself.
It defaults!
The game restarts.
Howard, who played very exciting tonight, saw that his matchup was replaced by McDyess, and the excitement at that time came down.
He has faced this person before, he is too soft, he doesn't feel the slightest hand-to-hand combat...
Although he was still actively resisting, the special excitement was gone.
Wallace paid attention to the confrontation between McDyess and Howard.
so close...
Should be able to feel it?
"Shh!"
Billups reproduced the "big heart" of "Mr. Key", and when the Pistons needed to score most, he stood up and scored.
"nice shot!"
Wallace habitually yelled at Billups, and quickly approached McDyess while retreating: "Man, how are you?"
McDyess shook his head slightly, and said with a wry smile: "This guy is really a beast!"
Just a short round can make the matchup feel brutal.
This is "Warcraft" Howard!
What's even more frightening is that this is not the peak period of this man yet!
But that's not what Wallace focuses on:
"anything else?"
"Ah, what else?"
McDyess froze for a moment.
Wallace wanted to ask something else, but Li Wan had already held the ball for halftime.He saw that McDyess was still fighting against Howard, without any hesitation...
Could it be that you didn't feel it?
No!
That stick is quite obvious!
unless……
He thought of another possibility.
His expression was a little more broken.
Damn, you only have feelings for me, right?
"Roaring Tianzun" roared in his heart, and a surge of power slapped Bogans who had broken through.
"Don't challenge the Pistons inside, man, or..."
Before he finished his ruthless words, another figure rushed out, jumped high in front of him, and completed the dunk with one hand!
It's Li Wan!
Bogans was blocked by the ball and fell into his hands. He showed his explosive power while running. Relying on his excellent Achilles tendon, he easily got rid of Billups and completed the attack frame.
"Or what?"
Li Wan turned his head, asked a question, and quickly returned to defense.
Of course, the mouth continued to shout:
"This is the Amway Arena, shut up for me, and shout at Tianzun!"
Thinking of a knife alone can't be hidden.
Now Rasheed - Wallace is such a look.
but……
After he ran halfway through, standing in front of him was that familiar smiling face.
In the defensive round of the Pistons, he can not go to Howard.
But in the offensive round of the Pistons, the person with the initiative became Howard.
Close defense, familiar stick...
no……
Toxic!
Can such a rough and crazy person as Lao Tzu make you so excited?
Rasheed Wallace goes all the way out to the three-point line.
During the support at the top of the arc, he took a peek at Howard in front of him, raised his hand and made a "straight-arm shot" three-pointer.
result……
"Snapped!"
What is Superman!
Howard slapped it off, and quickly chased after the ball after landing. When he got the ball, he was already on the three-point line of the Pistons' defense zone. He only needed to dribble, and he could get to the inside in two strides.
No matter how no dribbling ability.
This kind of ball control is still stable.
Howard staged a "fast break at the fifth position".
Although the final dunk was just a one-handed dunk, the cheers that detonated were no less than any of his previous dunks.
7 points!
The point difference returned to 7 points again!
The Magic held on to the score...
Sanders swapped Wallace and McDyess, and it seemed that it didn't work...
But just when the Magic fans wanted to breathe a sigh of relief.
They discovered something was wrong...
Why is Rasheed Wallace hard again?
Yes!
The Pistons' substitutions are still effective.
Although on the offensive end, Rasheed Wallace needs to continue to face Howard's "strong man lock man" defense.
But when he returned to the defensive end, he no longer had to worry about that stick.
After the mentality gradually calmed down...
Rasheed Wallace announced the return of "Roaring God" with a "volleyball hat".
Then in less than two or three rounds, he stood at a high position and successfully made Li Wan's offensive foul.
After being knocked down, he sat on the ground and watched the referee give the penalty result. After confirming that it was Li Wan's offensive foul, he didn't rush to pay attention to the hand extended to him by his teammates, but first yelled hard!
"No one can shut me up!"
"Rookie, you can't do it either!"
……
Li Wan ignored him, turned his head towards the referee who made the penalty, and said something in Chinese with a smile: "You are such an idiot!"
This can actually call an offensive foul!
You don't need your eyes, you can donate them!
The referee looked at him suspiciously: "What?"
But Li Wan had already ignored him and devoted himself to defense.
Billups is undoubtedly the core "brain" of the entire Pistons team, but if you want to say that the spiritual leader of this team, after Big Ben, it must be Rasheed Wallace.
His roar brought the Pistons back to life.
The Pistons that have reached the Eastern Conference Finals for 5 consecutive years are back!
For the remainder of the third quarter, they showed the Magic, and the fans, what the heck, championship-level adaptability.
With 1 minute and 14 seconds left in the third quarter, some of Lewis's fake moves on the running position could not fool them at all, and Rasheed Wallace cut off Turkoglu's direction Inside pass.
In this wave, the Pistons directly played an 8-2 scoring wave.
They don't score too much themselves, but at the same time, they limit the Magic's scoring even lower.
Before the start of the fourth quarter, the Pistons were only 1 point behind.
And according to the degree of defensive suffocation of the Pistons just now, I am afraid that they can turn behind and take the lead less than 2 minutes before the main force enters the field.
When Rasheed Wallace returned to the court, he looked at Li Wan who was making eye contact with him but did not talk trash, and snorted coldly: "It seems that you also realize that you are going to lose, Pistons, it is not you who can Challenging!"
Li Wan said lightly: "Magic is not something you can underestimate!"
第四节2分14秒，魔术队以67比66领先着1分。两边首发悉数回到场上。
The final battle is coming!
Li Wan, holding the ball, called for Howard's pick-and-roll. As soon as he got around the screen, McDyess over there defended him. Li Wan didn't even think about it, and hit the ball towards the basket.
It happened to hit Howard, who hurried back to the basket.
"Bah!"
Dunk with both hands!
As soon as the main force of the Magic team came back, they ignited the audience with goals of the "five best goals" level.
When McDyess faces Howard, Howard's athletic talent can be displayed to the greatest extent!
Sanders also sees this in his eyes.
"Shrink a little, shrink a little, don't empty the basket."
Sanders gestured to Rasheed Wallace on the field again, asking him to make up the defense in time.
The latter nodded.
Assisted defense is different from top defense. As long as he does not touch the stick, his mentality will not be affected.
For the Pistons, Hamilton always circles the tactical screen, pulls up and shoots after catching the ball.Bogans was too late to interfere and watched the ball fly into the basket.
The game came to the fourth quarter, and Bogans, who ran behind Hamilton for the whole field, was really tired.
But for Hamilton, the game has just begun!
He just finished warming up...
so……
It wasn't for nothing that Kobe wanted to break his leg.
"One more!"
Li Wan held the ball and shouted to urge him to run.
Stan Van Gundy is quiet again.
Yes……
He began to tense up again.
Because the Magic are about to start changing their moves again.
Li Wan held the ball without looking at his teammates. He still called Howard to pick and roll, and he still ran in the same position. While McDyess was pulled away by Howard's back-running basket, Wallace, who listened to the coach, returned to the defense in time. basket.
But in this way...
Didn't Lewis miss it?
Li Wan raised his hand and was about to shake it off.
The Pistons' excellent switching ability showed that Prince made up to the bottom corner, but Li Wan threw the ball to Turkoglu on the high post on the right.
Prince had to go back to defend Turkoglu, and the Turk sent the ball to the bottom corner again.
Lewis made a three-pointer.
The ball crashed into the basket.
Now it's not a 1 point difference, but 4 points!
Lewis tensed up, clenched his fists, and shouted loudly.
This is already his fourth three-pointer in this game.
The audience also shouted loudly, and the voice of "defense" sounded again.
The voices of many fans are already hoarse!
But they are still holding on...
Because they know very well that the Magic players on the court are also supporting.
Look at the gritted Bogans!
He really had contributed all his abilities, his steps were a little staggered, and he almost fell, but he could only watch Hamilton jump up and shoot.
Sometimes, the gap in ability cannot be changed with hard work!
Hamilton took off calmly, and Bogans looked particularly embarrassed when he staggered.
"Snapped!"
but……
As soon as the ball was pulled out of Hamilton's hand, a big hand covered the ball and caught it with a "snap" after it landed.
Big hat, No. 23 from the Magic!
Compared with trivial efforts, talent can change a lot of things!
"Bitch, you've taken too many shots in this position!"
Cursing, Li Wan, who landed on the ground, held the ball and made a fast break, gliding with one hand and smashing dunks!
The ball hit the hoop so loudly that Hamilton's dog could hear it and woof.
Its master is really a dog thing!
Take me as the right amount unit?
Live it!
Well covered!
Wang Wang Wang!
another one!
The point difference came to 6 points...
This is not the most important point, the most important point, Li Wan's predictive block, shows that Hamilton took a bit too many shots tonight.
It's time for someone else to stand up!
"Shh!"
this person……
Billups knows...
It can only be him!
Against Li Wan's shot, when the ball fell to the frame, Rasheed Wallace yelled.
Sanders also nodded slightly, showing a satisfied smile.
You can always trust Chauncey!
Point difference, 3 points!
"Take out our defense!"
The key ball was handed over to Billups, and the cheer was handed over to Wallace.
Li Wan still played the same way, and Billups got stuck early this time, but in this way, Howard resisted him, so he basically didn't have the capital to exert strength instantly.
Li Wan still took one step forward, facing the double-team, and threw the ball to the right again. Turkoglu caught the ball, but this time he didn't pass it, but made a three-pointer himself. Prince couldn't catch up. Turkoglu completes the goal...
Another 6 points.
I*!
There are also changes!
Sanders cursed fiercely, watching the past few rounds.
The overall tactics of the Magic team have changed so much!
No wonder it's been so long, this Chinese newcomer has almost no sense of existence.
Dare to keep your strength and break through the ball in the fourth quarter?
Turkoglu, who takes the ball, can choose to play by himself, or he can choose to make a secondary organization and pass it to a more suitable person.
This would have been nothing.
But Howard's presence at the basket, as well as the scattered positions of Lewis and Turkoglu, pulled the entire Pistons lineup to pieces.
There is no way to form a good defense cooperation with each other.
All stars!
The word popped into Sanders' mind!
In fact, there is one more thing that he didn't observe. In the first three quarters, while the Magic continued to change their formations, they never forgot to keep the players' touch outside the three-point line.
Lewis has scored 4 three-pointers so far.
Turkoglu also entered the third.
Plus one each for Li Wan and Bogans...
The Magic opened early from beyond the arc tonight.
It's just that Van Gundy's constant changes and "cutting wheat tactics" covered up this.
Until this moment, turn out the hole cards.
Even for this Jagged Piston, the defense at this moment has to be dismantled!
Not to mention, God is helping the Magic tonight.
Rasheed Wallace, a guy who could do "46" with Howard, ran to defend Lewis for some reason. Standing in front of Howard was McDyess who directly "boosted"...
This allows Howard, who has no ability to attack the basket with the ball, to play an Olajuwon-like containment effect at the basket.
"Shh!"
This is the magic team's real killer move, and the effect is also very good. A wave of 9-4 scoring tide, the point difference suddenly expanded to more than 8 points.
Billups tried to step up a few more times, but...
With the last 1 minute and 14 seconds, Li Wan scored another three-pointer, and the point difference came to more than 10 points.
The balance of victory in this game completely fell to the Magic.
89 is better than 78!
In the first game back home, the Magic once again took the lead by 11 points.
When the buzzer sounded, the slogan "The Pistons will die, the magic will stand" rang out in unison.
Stan Van Gundy looks at the Orlando crowd embracing on the court.
His expression was not so happy.
A match with all the cards in the hole...
And this is the third game of the series. Thinking about the next 4 games, with the adaptability of the Pistons, it may be difficult for the Magic to eliminate them before they are familiar with this system.
after all……
The connection between Li Wan and Turkoglu has only been practiced for about half a month.
It belongs to the chemical reaction that has just been worked out.
The whole running position is really not complicated...
Therefore, even if he won, Stan Van Gundy still felt that he couldn't be happy.
Another person who is not happy is Bogans.
At the end of the game, when everyone recovered, he was still a little out of breath.
The feeling of running a marathon on the field every day is really uncomfortable.
Li Wan probably knew what kind of uncomfortable feeling it was.
In the 14-15 season, the Cavaliers had a guard who was famous for his defense: Matthew Dellavedova.
He was in charge of defending Curry in the finals, but he couldn't do it in the third game.
He was so dehydrated, his face was pale, and he fainted for a while. The team doctor gave him an emergency infusion, and then sent him to the local hospital for further treatment.
Of course, after the game ended, Curry was a little retched...
But from here, it can be seen how difficult it is to guard against this kind of person who runs around the field.
Bogans is not in such a dangerous state because of the "traditional small ball era" and because Hamilton does not have Curry's agile running position.
But also more or less a little weak legs.
His efforts still paid off.
Hamilton made 17 of 7 shots in this game, and his shooting percentage was 41.2%.
what?
Looks good too?
This kind of All-Star player, the main offensive player of the Pistons, can keep his shooting percentage at the average, which is actually considered a success!
If Bogans can really block Hamilton, then it is impossible for him to have an annual salary of only 244 million.
you get what you pay for.
This product at this price is already worth it!
李万这场的数据是16分8助攻5篮板1盖帽2抢断，数据相比上一场回暖很多，就是投篮命中率还是很低，才38%左右。
Fortunately, tonight his three-point shooting rate was as high as 50%, and he scored 4 out of 2 shots!
And the fourth quarter really depends on Li Wan's breakthrough again and again, so...
What a labor!
He can stretch his hit rate, which is already considered very good.
Anyway, the media didn't blame him.
Besides, they are winners tonight!
Who's going to be there to blame the winning team?
Except for those media reporters who are really biased...
For them, just treat it as a fart!
Including the Orlando fans, seeing that Li Wan still didn't play the explosive performance of the previous round in the third game.
Everyone knows that this is Li Wan's current upper limit.
Nothing to be disappointed with though...
As the team's only assaulter, when the whole team can't start the situation, it all depends on his breakthrough, and he is facing a team like the Pistons. The guards who can play his performance in the league are basically fans. Are you familiar with it?
and so……
Praise is over!
Li Wan is just amazing!
On the other side, Rasheed Wallace, who finished the interview, returned to the hotel and went out again with a sullen head. He met Billups and the others on the road and greeted him, but he ignored him and walked straight away.
Billups is very used to it: "He must think that the loss of this game is his responsibility..."
This is Rasheed Wallace's sense of responsibility to the team!
Billups does know his teammates, too.
Wallace did blame himself for the loss.
He believes that if it wasn't for his mental imbalance in the first half, Sanders would not have changed his formation in the second half and let McDyess defend Howard.
How could Howard have such an effect?
Can……
It was really hard for him to get rid of that tension!
This is an instinctive psychological reaction, and there is nothing he can do about it.
However, in order to win...
After Rasheed Wallace went out, he called a taxi, and the car stopped in front of a bar.
It was a gay bar...
The way to overcome fear is to...
Join the fear!
Wallace felt that as long as he spent enough time with these "deviant" gangs, he would be able to overcome the obstacles in his heart!
It's all about Detroit!
Wallace felt great about himself.
It's just that he didn't notice that just as he walked into the bar, Orlando's paparazzi took pictures of him entering the bar.
And the next day...
"Too depressed to lose?Rasheed Wallace at the *** bar after the game. "
It was the headline on the front page of the sports section of the Orlando Sentinel.
Coupled with this era, the network media has gradually developed.
and so……
It's just a morning, and everyone who follows the Pistons knows that Rasheed Wallace went to the *** bar last night.
When "Roaring Tianzun" knew that he had been photographed...
I want to die a million times!
He was ready to meet the strange eyes of his teammates.
Taking a look at the phone, Sanders also sent him a message.
——I know that you have been a little stressed recently and need to release the pressure...but you still have to pay attention to safety.
gtmd!
Wow!
Wallace's mood suddenly rose.
How can I look like a ****!
Wallace was insane.
However, he didn't explain much, and waited silently for the arrival of the fourth game of the series.
He will explode in silence!
Howard saw Wallace again, his eyes were even hotter.
There are "sparks"!
Wallace went up to meet the "man". He didn't pay much attention to the stick yesterday because he didn't go to the bar in vain!
The Pistons are back at their strongest…
Stan Van Gundy was once again intimidated by the Pistons' defensive adaptability.
Originally, he wanted to say that this set of "one star and four shots" would not last until the end of the series, but in the end, he still underestimated the Pistons.
The team that made it to the Eastern Conference Finals 5 times in a row...
Rich experience is no longer enough to describe their maturity.
Let's just say...
Battle-hardened!
All kinds of opponents have experienced it, so as long as they are given one night, they can find the best tactical response...
In order to avoid the recurrence of the situation in the last round, this round the Pistons mainly focus on defensive three-pointers. If you want two points, then give you two points.
In addition, Rasheed Wallace's "rejuvenation" also made Howard no longer able to play the containment power of the previous game.
When Howard was restricted, Li Wan's breakthrough was naturally also restricted.
Without their connection, coupled with the Pistons' strict defense against deadlocks at the beginning, there is no possibility of "three-point rain" for the Magic!
Moreover, Lewis clearly experienced the "law of conservation of character" in this scene.
He made 7 of 2 shots from beyond the three-point line. Those who made more shots in the last game were all returned to God this time.
that's it……
87 to 79, the traditional powerful Pistons relied on their tenacious defense and amazing tactical adaptability to defeat the Magic and left Orlando with a big score of 2 to 2.
The next game, the fifth game in the series, the "Battle of Tianwang Mountain", will be held at the Pistons' home court - Little Caesars Arena.
The Magic's extra "blood buff" is gone.
Therefore, many media believe that the Magic have reached their limit.
Their drive is fierce, but that's all!
The Detroit media is already posting: "The Pistons will resolve the battle in Game [-]!"
The media in this city are like this.
Not to mention the fans...
The streets and alleys are full of fans wearing Pistons playoff T-shirts and team uniforms.
Do not misunderstand!
They are all Detroiters who can't watch the game live, but they gathered outside the arena, waiting for the result of the game to be announced as soon as possible, and at the same time waiting to see the players of the Magic team leave with their tails between their legs after the game. here.
Especially that newcomer!
It's so hateful!
They must record Li Wan's dejected face when the time comes!
This is the case off the court, let alone on the court!
All the diehard fans shook their bodies excitedly, as well as the support cards in their hands.
No wonder they are so excited!
Judging from the fourth game of the series, the Pistons regained their "iron defense", and when the Magic fell behind, they did not make changes as quickly as they did in the third game.
What does this mean?
This shows that the Magic have no more changes and cards!
Game [-] of the series was all they had going for it.
That's all!
Let's see if you, a rookie, dare to go crazy!
Whether it was the Pistons fans off the field or the Detroiters on the field, they were all extremely hostile to Li Wange!
Listening to the boos, Li Wan warmed up with jump shots one after another.
He wasn't under too much pressure.
No matter what, it will be 2 to 2!
This is far from the worst moment, not even on the edge of a cliff!
As long as they still win this time, they will be the ones leading!
Stan Van Gundy thought so too.
In the locker room, he repeatedly emphasized: "Listen, since we can lead them twice, then we can lead for the third time! The opponent is not a scourge, they are opponents that we have already defeated twice!"
"They are not as invulnerable as they were last season. At least in front of us, they are very likely to kneel for the third time. Not very likely, but they will definitely be defeated by us again!!"
"Come on guys, let's go back to Orlando and end them with a 3-2 score!"
Game [-] of the series is in Orlando...
As long as they finish this game, they can get the "hot blood buff" again!
"In the 90s, coaches would ask their players to defend with the intensity of breaking the opponent's hands and feet. Tonight, it's the same. Show your utmost ruthlessness. This is not a game, this is war!"
Stan Van Gundy's voice was as hoarse as ever, but at this moment his eyes were bulging, and his eyeballs were filled with bloodshot eyes. Accompanied by his low shout, it made people feel like a beast was roaring.
This is ruthless!
The most critical battle, they hope that these guys can risk their lives to fight!
"After an hour and a half, only one team was able to walk out!"
"Either they or us!"
"That must be us!"
"go go go!"
Similarly, on the other side, there was also a roar full of hostility.
The media said that the Pistons could win, and the fans thought that the victory belonged to Detroit, but that was them. Before winning this game, the victory will always be unknown!
Sanders understands this, and the experienced Detroit Pistons players also understand it!
They looked serious and serious. Before going on the court, they checked their jerseys and shoes for the last time, as if they were wiping the "steel guns" in their hands...
So……
come on!
"Ho!"
Two simultaneous roars, one belonging to Howard and one belonging to Rasheed Wallace.
"Warcraft" has never been so desperate to jump the ball.
But he knows that this is called "every ball must be fought"!
Otherwise, Wallace on the opposite side would not have roared like him.
"Snapped!"
Howard was the first to touch the ball.
The ball went to Li Wan's hands.
After being transported to the frontcourt, Li Wan took the ball and rushed to the inside line. Tonight, he must put on a tough attitude first!
The confrontation between Billups and him was much bigger than usual, and it was full of all kinds of small moves.
pushing, pulling...
While doing these little tricks, Billups watched the referee's reaction.
He's testing the defense tonight.
The referee sees...
But it didn't blow!
very good!
His movements intensified.
He wants to take Li Wan to experience the wildness of the 90s.
"Bah!"
But just as he was getting close again, Li Wanfei, the ball holder, suddenly elbowed his approaching chest, and hit him hard.
"Ah~cough!"
Billups gasped in pain.
Whoa, this kid!
Really hard to start!
"Dangdang!"
Li Wan's counterattack was beyond Billups' expectations, but in the end the Pistons defended the ball.
Then it's not in vain!
Watching Rasheed - Wallace protect the rebound, Billups rubbed his chest, he knew it must be swollen!
The Pistons switched offense amid cheers.
Billups dribbled the ball to the front court and looked around. His teammates were basically entangled with the players of the Magic, including Hamilton, and he was no longer so easy to get rid of...
And soon, he didn't have time to pay attention to it.
Because Li Wan also posted up, constantly reaching out to interfere with his dribbling rhythm.More oppressive than ever before!
"Dangdang!"
Under the entangled defense, Billups didn't get the chance to pass the ball, so he simply attacked the frame by himself. Under Li Wan's interference, the ball went out of the frame.
Howard and Wallace confronted each other. The hands of the two kept grabbing the other's hand, but their eyes were fixed on the ball.
When they jumped up, they gave each other a hard push.
Or Howard hit the ball first!
Really damn hard!
Rasheed Wallace cursed inwardly.
Whether it's the stick, or Howard's confrontation just now.
This round deserves this evaluation.
The ball is switched again.
As for the first round after the start of the game, both sides knew that tonight must be a hard fight!
Fourteen thousand today.
