After a two-day break, the two sides moved to the Auburn Hills Palace Arena and will play three games in a row. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe Pistons' mentality at this time is very different from last year's, a year ago they were in high spirits and were bound to finish the Rockets at home. At this time, they were under a lot of pressure, and the Pistons were the more favored side before the game, and when they fell behind 0-2, most people thought that the Rockets would win the championship.

Larry at this time. Brown got good news and bad news, the good news is that Bodiloga is okay and he will be able to compete in the next Finals. The bad news is the opposite, Big Ben will miss the game. Root. Wallace collided with Pulzbilla during a scramble for a rebound in the fourth quarter and stepped on Pulzbilla's foot as he landed. At that time, it was only a slight pain, but when I returned to the locker room, my ankle quickly swollen. According to the team doctor's preliminary diagnosis, Big Ben will be out for at least a week, and at least three games will be absent.

As a result, Brown was forced to promote McDies to the starting lineup, and only the veteran Campbell, who is nearly 37 years old, was left in the main rotation on the inside. As for Daktronics. Milicic, Brown didn't take him seriously at all. The guard line is also not well-staffed, except for the starters Bodiloga and Hamilton, Brown only trusts Hunter (note: the Pistons also have backup guard Carlos in the same period in history. Arroyo, who was previously traded to the Wizards on this plane). In this way, the Pistons' roster has been reduced to a seven-man rotation.

Brown's idea is very simple, the difference between the strength of the others and these 7 people is too big, because the weakness of the substitute leads to the loss of the game is better than simply using the main force. The Pistons have fallen behind 0-2, to the point where they can't afford to lose, and there is no way back if they don't fight at this time.

How afraid the enemy is, how our army fights. When the Rockets learned that Big Ben could not participate in the game before the game, Tang Shuai decisively made an arrangement, focusing on Yao Ming's killing inside line and striving to make more fouls.

The Pistons also knew that the Rockets would play like this, and they could only pin all their hopes on McDyce, hoping that he could fill the void in Big Ben.

In the impression of many new fans, Antonio. McDyce is a calm blue-collar who has a fairly stable mid-range shot, simple, hardworking, able to grab rebounds, and willing to be a substitute. But some long-time fans know that he used to be a star of the house.

In the 95-96 season, McDyes, who had just entered the league, handed in a beautiful answer sheet of 16+9 every 36 minutes, which is rare among rookies. Three years later, the 24-year-old McDeyes is already a star with an average of 21.2+10.7+2.3 per game, he can run and jump, and he is good at staging violent dunks flying above the basket, which is somewhat similar to the current Stoudemire. In 2001, he averaged 20+12 per game and was selected as an All-Star, but the next serious knee injury almost ruined his career. He could no longer fly, lost his speed and explosiveness, and he was just 27 years old.

Now that he's made home in Detroit, he's getting used to his new style of play, his new position, his new life. He used to fly 60 centimeters above the basket to play, but now he stands on the floor and plays. The Pistons may have taken a fancy to his qualities, simple, strong, and the same strength engraved in the bones as the people of the Motor City.

As the Pistons expected, the Rockets' first offense after the opening was handed over to Yao Ming. McDece decisively stepped forward to wrap the bag, and Yao Ming gave the vacant Bosh. Bosh misses a shot.

On the Pistons' side, Bodiloga slowly handles the ball. Hamilton was interspersed with runs, and he used McDyce's solid body as a cover to run out of space. And Billups, who was chasing him, chased too quickly to avoid cover, and bumped into McDyce solidly. The impact was not light, and Chauncey almost had Venus in his eyes. Hamilton received the ball and made an easy jumper, and the home team scored first 0:2.

"Mask guy, you didn't fight badly!" Billups said viciously at Hamilton. He kept his composure and still hoisted the ball to Yao Ming, and this time Yao Ming found an opportunity to turn and hook the board to hit.

Hamilton repeated his old trick and found Rashid as cover. This time, Chaunsei came prepared and took advantage of his (relatively) thin stature to get through the cover. Hamilton pulled out to catch the ball and found that he didn't get rid of the defense, and he jumped up a little impatiently and used a similar inside action, and a half-hook and half-tossed shot missed.

Bosh pulled out to catch the ball from beyond the three-point line, and McDyce knew Bosh had a good long-range shot and followed. Bosh saw that he had a chance to take a small hanging pass to Yao Ming in the three-second zone, and the latter easily threw the ball into the ball and caused a foul on Rashid, and there were also free throws, 5:2.

Rashid singled Bosh in the low post on the left flank and fired a standard turn-over, straight-arm jumper into the net. It sparked bursts of applause from the fans.

Bosh was naturally not convinced, took the initiative to participate in the attack, and stepped forward to help Billups block the dismantling. Chauncy took advantage of the opportunity to break through Bodiloga's defense, and Bosh cut in. Chauncey was also quick to get the ball in an instant, and stuffed it into Bosh through the gap between McDyce and Bodiloga. Bosh had already penetrated into the enemy line and jumped high to dunk, but McDice pulled him down and fouled!

Bosh made both free throws, 7-4.

Brown was a little anxious and loudly reminded the two interior players not to foul easily.

Hamilton catches the ball on the run and takes a quick shot that misses. But McDyce struggled to pull the rebound out, and it happened to fall into Bodiloga's hands. Dejan passed Hamilton again, and shot a jumper in exactly the same position as the previous goal, and the ball went in!

After a few rounds, both sides showed their magic and killed inseparable. But as the fouls increased, Brown's face became more and more ugly. Finally, halfway through the first quarter, Rashid committed two fouls, and Brown did not hesitate to send the veteran Campbell.

Campbell is already older, and his legs and feet can no longer keep up with the younger players. Billups accelerated past Bodiologa and wanted to go to the basket, but the experienced McDece gently moved a step sideways and happened to form a bag with Bodiloga. Chauncy walked the baseline and cut into the basket and found that the angle was not good, and wanted to pass to Yao Ming but was destroyed by Campbell out of the bottom line, and the Rocket's frontcourt baseline served.

The ball went to Bosh and he missed a jumper. Bosh was dissatisfied and motioned for McDice to fight, but the referee ignored him. After all, this is Detroit's home stadium, so you have to give the home team fans some face.

Reid was a little upset, this time he was being targeted by Prince, and he didn't get a chance to make a move. Defensively, he was also impatient, rushing to break the ball but was whistled for a foul by a beater.

"Michael is not in form, the last game was over-explosive, and this time it can't be so godly." Yuanfei hinted at Tang Shuai's substitution. Lao Tang understood and immediately adjusted, Reed and Bosh went down, and Tekoglu and Wang Zhizhi appeared.

Wang Zhizhi held back for a long time, because it was difficult for him to prevent Rashid's singles, so he was pressed to the bench by Tang Shuai. Now that Rashid is plagued by fouls, it's time for him to play. Sure enough, as soon as he came up, Dazhi hit three points to help the team widen the difference.

Yao Ming also played and caused Campbell's foul. By the end of the first quarter, the Rockets ended with a five-point lead at 23:18. The Pistons' three interior players are carrying five fouls, and if they continue to play like this, their rotation will be very difficult in the second half, and the team is already in a deep quagmire.
