Chapter 103 [Position and Slashing Shark]
The Warriors began to compress the defense and put Starkey on the basket.
The biggest problem for this potential star is poor shooting, and Iverson's three-point shooting is not very reliable. Stephen? Jackson interfering with Rashid on the periphery? Wallace shoots, leaving two interior players under the basket, ensuring interior defense and rebounding control.
Hamilton missed a jumper with Azubuuk and the rebound was picked up by Turiaf.
Zhou Xuan retreated to get the ball, and he was not in a hurry to attack quickly. In the third quarter, he picked up the pace according to the coach's arrangement, but his teammates didn't feel good and the strong burst effect was not good, so he had to make adjustments.
Waiting for his teammates to settle down, Jackson borrowed Turiaf to cover the air cut, Zhou Xuan passed the ball to Jackson, and Prince changed defenses. Jackson passed to Turyaf in turn. The latter misplaced easily squeezed Hamilton away and scored with a basket under the basket. 73 to 85.
The Pistons found a feeling in a fast pace, so Zhou Xuan lowered the tempo to play the position, the purpose was to make the opponent's already familiar offense unable to play, and now the opponent's interior line has obvious weaknesses.
Zhou Xuan didn't have an assist in this ball, but his thinking was very clear. A good point guard, some of the roles are intangible. If Jackson and Turiaf don't play this block, Zhou Xuan won't score easily if he passes directly to the inside.
The Pistons attacked, Iverson broke through by covering and missed a pull-up jump shot before Biedrins switched defenses, and the rebound was picked up by Turiaf.
The Warriors players came down quickly, Azubuike had a single chance against Starkey in the frontcourt, and Zhou Xuan didn't pass the ball. This kind of long passing from the backcourt is particularly prone to mistakes, and Starkey is no less quality than Azubuike, despite being a point guard.
After halftime, Zhou Xuan relied on Turyaf to cover and break through from the left side. Wallace defended it, and at this time he was not as resolute as before in blocking the breakthrough route, because Zhou Xuan rarely shot, and most of the shots chose to divide the ball to give his teammates the opportunity to attack in a misplaced manner.
Old Nelson had already specially explained to Zhou Xuan, if he wanted to make a bold breakthrough against Wallace, he paused slightly and attracted Wallace to take a step back, taking this opportunity, he suddenly accelerated past Wallace, and Iverson bypassed Turyaf and didn't have time to catch up. On the other side, Prince carried Biderlins, and noticed that it was too late for Zhou Xuan to make up for the defense when he broke through.
Zhou Xuan took three steps from the left side and scored a basketball with his left hand, 75-85.
Since he couldn't shoot accurately today, he had to try to use layups to score points and ensure efficiency.
The Warriors scored, and the Pistons couldn't launch a fast break, so they could only fall into the positional battle, Starkey was entangled by Azubuike, Iverson ran the position, and got the ball away from Zhou Xuan through the off-ball cover, and in the face of Biedrins, he shook a step away and missed the jumper, and the rebound was picked up by Jackson.
The Pistons' rebounding ability is terrible, and Prince is more of a small forward, and he can't be expected to play like a rebounding champion all the time. The Warriors are still positional battles, and Zhou Xuan passed half the court and handed it to Jackson.
Jackson relied on Biedrins to cover from the side, and after switching positions to Prince, he distributed the ball to the perimeter, Azubuuk relied on Turiaf to cover the middle to receive the ball, and the jumper missed, but Biedrins went to the basket first, won the frontcourt rebound, and dunked the basketball with both hands. 77 to 85.
The gap between the two sides quickly narrowed to 8 points. Pistons head coach Michael? Curry hurriedly requested a timeout, and the Warriors had found a way to deal with them. It's no longer possible to play fast, and the Warriors' compression defense has also taken a toll on them.
Curry replaced Starkey, who shot poorly, for Kwame? Brown, arranging a two-block tactic to remove the interior line, allowing Iverson and Hamilton to strengthen the breakthrough.
The change worked, and the game restarted with Hamilton making a mid-range shot from a cover run. 77 to 87.
Jackson shot the iron, and under Kwame's defense, Turiaf suddenly became the Lakers' marginal substitute back then, and he could only defend and run back. Prince won the rebound and launched a fast break, and Iverson received the ball and broke through, causing Zhou Xuan to foul.
The Pistons took the throw-in, Hamilton just wanted to break through by covering, and Azubuuk drew another foul.
The Pistons continued to serve, this time passing to Prince, Jackson blocked in front of him in time, determined not to let the Pistons break through, and after a few passes, Iverson missed a pull-up jumper, and the rebound was obtained by Biedrins.
In the battle of the warriors' position, Zhou Xuan broke through against Wallace by covering. He received the ball and pulled it to the right perimeter, just one step inside the three-point line, pulling Wallace as far outside as he could.
At this time, Zhou Xuan had already thought of all possibilities, Bidrins did not have the ability to shoot, but he could grab rebounds and was very fast. He'll be able to get inside as soon as he's picked up, and Iverson is quick and will get around to defend. Wallace certainly won't be on the periphery, he has to be in the low post with Kabidelins. At this time, direct shooting is the best choice, Iverson is 183CM, it takes time to jump, it is difficult to block him, and it is very likely to grab the rebound if he does not enter his teammates.
Wallace was really jealous of Bidrins' rebounding ability, and just blocked it and dropped back inside, allowing Iverson to chase down from the side. Wallace and Zhou Xuan were two steps away, and Zhou Xuan immediately jumped and shot. Iverson came around from the side and jumped up with all his might, but he was a little slower and hit the board at a 45-degree angle. 79 to 87.
"Beautiful, Stephen started to work in the fourth quarter of Sunday, and the margin narrowed to eight points." Announcer Stanley shouted.
Hank said: "It was Wallace who couldn't change the defense again, and he threw the ball very easily. ”
It seems that it is easy to leak people in defense, but in fact, everything is in Zhou Xuan's control, and Bidrins's ability to involve defense is also intangible, if his teammate is a person with poor rebounding ability, Wallace will definitely not make Zhou Xuan so comfortable.
The piston still strengthens the breakthrough. Iverson's speed is very fast, against slower guards, Zhou Xuan can bypass the cover to chase the defense, but Iverson can't, as long as the opponent is slow to change defenses, he will immediately stop and jump shots, and it is not good to get too close, he can break through with the ball inside. During his time with the 76ers, he made an astonishing number of free throws and was among the best in the league in foul making. This season's form has declined, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse.
Biderins was a little slower to switch defenses and quickly pulled Iverson for another foul, and if he ran up for a layup, he would have made a free throw. Nelson Sr. was very clear that he could let Iverson shoot but not let him burst into the basket, and he is now the Pistons' man with the most shots, but his shooting percentage is low, shooting 7-of-19 so far. If it weren't for the Pistons' fast-break fast-break up-to-speed in the third quarter, his shooting percentage would have been lower.
The throw-in was sent out, Kwame screened, Hamilton received the ball and misplaced it for Turiaf and passed it to Prince, who was misplaced against Chou Xuan.
In the face of Zhou Xuan's close interference, Prince's pull-out jumper was also missed. At the peak of the Pistons, the starting four were selected as Eastern Conference All-Stars, and the only one who was not selected was Prince. Some people say that he is an All-Star pearl and complains about him, but his ability to hold the ball and attack is really flattering, only the fixed-point shooting is reliable, or on the premise that no one interferes in front of him.
Biedrins won the rebound, and the Warriors were on a fast break under the misalignment, and Zhou Xuan received the ball and passed it to Jackson, who in turn handed it to Azubuk. Iverson defended alone, Azubuke received the ball and played high, took three steps to get the ball, and forced a layup but did not score, but caused Iverson to foul.
The enthusiasm of the fans in the stadium was aroused, cheering on the home team, and after Azubuike hit both free throws, 81-87, the two sides were only six points apart.
Iverson and Wallace teamed up for a pick-and-roll and then passed to Wallace on the perimeter. Zhou Xuan misplaced the defense, and if Wallace hit another three-pointer at this time, it would greatly boost morale. As soon as he saw his opponent receive the ball, he hurriedly pulled a foul without waiting for Wallace to turn around. Wallace didn't make a shot and couldn't get to the free throw line.
The Warriors' foul tactics did curb the Pistons' breakout, and they didn't let them score in the athletic battle for several rounds in a row, and over time, the feeling could be cold.
The more depressed thing for the Pistons was still to come, as soon as the throw-in was issued, Iverson just took a step to dribble the ball, the referee's whistle sounded, and the inside no-ball foul was blown, and Turiaf warmly hugged his old teammate Kwame? Brown.
It was the Warriors' fifth foul of the quarter, and Kwame was sent to the free-throw line. Turiaf knows very well that against Kwame he has to make free throws!
Kwame made a joke two years ago. The Lakers' opponent also happens to be the Pistons.
At the timeout of the game, Kwame said to Kobe, "I don't have anyone to defend myself. ”
Bryant said, "yes, I know. You'll be free again, Kwamei, for Rashid completely ignores you. ”
Kwame went on to say: "If I'm no longer defended, don't pass the ball to me. ”
Kobe Bryant was shocked: "Huh? ”
Kwame repeated: "Don't pass the ball to me. ”
"Why don't I pass it on to you?"
"I'm nervous," Kwame replied. "If I get the ball and they foul me and I don't score."
Kobe Bryant was mad and he found Phil? Jackson said, "Hey, Phil, replace him." ”
But Jackson said, "No, let him figure it out on his own." "That's how the Lakers lost.
Since then, Kwame has had a phobia of free throws. He lived up to expectations, missing both free throws to the boos of the home fans and getting the rebound to Biedrins.
The Warriors attacked, Jackson couldn't score a jumper, the rebound was grabbed by Kwame, he didn't have time to pass, Biedrins under the basket fouled again, the referee whistle blew, and Kwame made free throws.
The Pistons, whether they are players or coaches, are a little speechless. Nelson Sr. invented a lot of things on the pitch, and the "shark hacking tactic" was the most controversial invention. Now they have chopped up Kwame and it has been very effective.
As soon as the "parallel import" hit the free throw line, he became stupid, missed two free throws, and the rebound was obtained by Biedrins.
No substitutions were made without a dead ball, and Brown had to stay on the pitch. Zhou Xuan broke through by covering, the experienced Wallace chose to foul, and Mark Hill on the sidelines replaced Kwame.
The ball was sent, the Warriors played an empty cut match, Zhou Xuan saw the opportunity, a ground-hitting pass was sent to the bottom line, Wallace turned too slowly, Zhou Xuan knew this very well, so he passed the ball behind him, and Azubuuk received the ball on the bottom line and scored a backhand basketball. 83 to 87.
At key moments, Iverson showed that he was not like a point guard.
What the Pistons need is to stabilize the situation and play a success rate, but he quickly passed the halfcourt and singled Zhou Xuan, wanting to help the team with his personal ability.
Although he is a veteran, Iverson's style of play has never changed, and he is used to opening it first, attracting the bag and then passing to assist his teammates. In this game, the Warriors have been defending him alone, and Zhou Xuan is expressionless no matter whether he is behind or playing the climax of chasing points, which makes Iverson feel very uncomfortable.
Zhou Xuan did a very good job of defending the breakthrough, blocking the breakthrough route, Iverson took a few step-back jumpers and missed, and the rebound was confiscated by the Warriors.
The offense finally caused the displeasure of Pistons coach Curry......
