"Even though we won the last game, we are still the side behind us, so please be aware of that. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 At the regular pre-game kick-off meeting, Tomjanovic said: "In this game, the Pistons can afford to lose, we can't afford to lose. Everyone has to do their best, do every detail well, and fight every ball. ”

"The turning point in the last game was in the third quarter, when the point difference was chased to 4 points, Chauncey went on the court to continuously use the block to shoot three points or score points to the outside shooter, and soon opened the difference, and after the Pistons' wave of chasing points was destroyed, there was no real threat." At this time, only Wang Yuanfei was the only one who could interject in the entire rocket team.

"So we're going to try to play more threes?" Tang Shuai nodded, but still politely rejected the proposal: "We will try to do this, but since we won the last game, the starting lineup will not be adjusted." ”

Yuanfei also nodded in agreement. It's a safe choice to just win and not make big changes, and it's okay from the point of view of the rules of movement.

On June 18, the Toyota Center Arena ushered in a long-awaited competition. Many home fans played the slogan "GAME7", and if the Rockets won this game, the Pistons would completely lose the initiative. Larry. Brown certainly didn't want to see such an outcome, and he adjusted accordingly.

The game got underway, Yao Ming jumped the ball again to win, Billups won the ball and couldn't find a good opportunity under pressure from Bodiloga, and Gerrard stepped up to block and was replaced by the alert Hamilton.

"The athletes at the beginning of the game were very physical, and the defensive intensity was very high." Ross Barkley explained: "It's a test for both players to attack. ”

Chauncey didn't have a good passing route and had to go to Gerrard on the perimeter, who missed a three-point shot. But Chauncey, who was alert, stole a frontcourt rebound between the two Wallaces and handed it to Maddie from the perimeter to reorganize the offense.

Maddie dribbled to the right wing and turned to a back-to-back single to Prince, who turned his back and crossed to the baseline to cut in, and Big Ben surrounded and stepped forward. Yao Ming hurriedly pulled back, intending to create space for Maddie to pass the ball. This pull did not help much on the way to the line, and was still blocked by Big Ben, but interfered with Bodi Loga in front. He moved two steps in Yao's direction to cut out Maddie's possible pass, only to have Billups run back for a chance.

Maddie gave the ball to Billups on the outside, Bodiloga couldn't keep up in time, Chauncey made a three-point shot, and the ball went in! 0-3 Rockets win the first goal!

Under the tight defense of the Rockets' players, the Pistons didn't get any good chances. Seeing that there was not much time left, Bodillo strengthened his three-point shooting and hollowed into the net to tie 3:3.

"What an answerball!" Kenny. Smith complimented as well.

The Rockets still relied on pick-and-roll offense, and the Pistons insisted on switching defenses and turned into Oku's ball-handling single Bodi Loga, and although the White Magic is arguably the tallest and strongest point guard in the league, it is still far from the Turk's physique. Oku drew a foul and made two free throws.

Bodiloga's breakaway forced the Rockets to shrink their defense, and then they were assigned to Hamilton, who hit a 6-5 three-point shot to put the Pistons in the lead.

"It's really rare for the Pistons to come up and actually shoot two three-pointers in a row and score." Yuan Fei was surprised: "But it doesn't matter, Hamilton's three-point shot is not accurate, and occasionally scoring a goal is nothing." ”

Yao Ming missed the inside single, and Daben protected the rebound. After attacking, it was Bodi Loga who hit the Rockets and had an unstable foothold, but missed a layup under Oku's interference. Big Ben rushed to grab the rebound and hit 8:5.

"No, the Pistons are too fast-paced." Yuanfei finally found out that there was a problem, "According to their previous style of play, this ball must be Bodi Loga slowly controlling the ball, and the others are running without the ball to find opportunities." Now it's just rushing up and fighting. So the success rate of their attack is particularly high, only the first goal of our first successfully entered the position to defend well, and the back were caught off guard! ”

The Rockets players on the court were still unaware of this, and Billups was also very popular, dribbling and speeding past two people, and hitting the basket to Yao Ming. Yao Ming easily hit a small toss.

"Speed up the defense!" Tang Shuai reminded loudly on the sidelines.

Only then did the rocket generals react and hurriedly ran to the defensive position. Looking again, Bodiloga dribbled unhurriedly and handed it to Rashid for a single. Oku defended well, but Rashid made a turnaround jumper and still hit a solid 10-7 shot.

'Dejan reacted really quickly and was really a defender who made me happy.' Larry. Brown thought to himself. He was also a star in his youth, having been named to the ABA League All-Star team three times and was also named the MVP of the ABA All-Star Game. As a young man, he was known for his calm play and sharp passing, once contributing 23 assists in a single game. After becoming a coach, he coached Reggie Brown. Miller, Allen. Iverson and other superstar defenders. But the heir to the mantle that satisfies him the most is this Serbian black man who has not been in contact for a long time. "I had already calculated that the team would start with a rhythm and be caught off guard by the Rockets. I didn't expect Tomjanovic to react so quickly and soon noticed that our rhythm was different from the previous games. Dejan was even better, adjusting the pace on his own without me directing. In the final analysis, our team's ability to be fast or slow also depends on Dejan's super control ability. ”

Yao Mingqiang hit the basket and caused a foul on Big Ben, making 1 of 2 free throws.

The Pistons picked up the pace again, but the Rockets were focused and quickly returned to the defensive position. Seeing that there was no chance, Bodi Loga still pressed down the rhythm and organized. After a few rounds of passing, the ball was passed into Prince's hands. He pulled up a long shot, Maddie defended it and almost sealed it in his face, and Prince missed the shot.

Maddie rushed left and right, and in the three-second zone, he attracted a three-man bag and distributed it to the outside Oku, who then turned to Billups in the bottom corner, and the big unguarded space within four meters was open. Chauncey calmly aims and shoots, and the ball goes in! At 10:11, the Rockets overtook the score.

"How did this ball create such a big space?" Barkley wondered.

"It's all McGrady's individual ability that is terrifying, and although he hasn't scored a point in this game, his ball-handling offense completely disrupts the Pistons' defensive formation." Smith gave a reasonable explanation.

Bodiloga also used his individual ability to create good opportunities for his team-mates, and his European step was flicked past Steven Gerrard to draw Yao Ming to fill in and settle into the hands of Ben in the low post. Big Ben makes a shot, 12-11.

The Rockets showed no weakness, Maddie hit a pull-out jumper, and the scores of the two sides rose alternately at 12:13.

Big Ben served a long pass, and Rashid ran over to receive a pass from Bodiloga and hit the basket directly. The Pistons hit another surprise break.

Tang Shuai finally called a timeout and was ready to make substitution adjustments.

Larry. Brown smiled, and he basically figured out Lao Tang's substitution routines in the first few games. The substitution at this time is basically Jefferson, or Tekoglu, or Bosh. Yao Mai will always rest alone. Houston's bench is good, but the Pistons have already seen through your hands, so feel free to make a move!
