After the pause, "Zhiduoxing" Brown was also dumbfounded. The Rockets www.biquge.info changed to an unconventional lineup of one big and four small, and the players on the court became Oku, Tekoglu, Maddy, Reed and Billups.
Brown hasn't figured out how Tang Shuai's ball is arranged, and the Rockets have already taught him to be a man with bloody reality. Several pitchers pulled away in a wide range, Maddie made a sudden pass, and Reed scored an empty three-pointer to score 14:16!
Of course, there are pros and cons, and the shooting ability of the Rockets has gone up, and the ability to protect the rebounds has decreased. Bodiloga missed a jumper under Maddy's defense, but Big Ben grabbed the rebound and made it 16-all.
Billups assisted Oku for a big two-pointer, and Bodiroga also assisted Rashid for a layup and drew a foul on Turkoglou, but missed the free throw.
Here the Rockets attacked back and Maddie hit another three-pointer, hollow into the net, 18:21.
"Don't let the Rockets shoot three-pointers easily!" Bodiloga shouted on the field, and he was also a little anxious.
Rashid rolled over and hit a jumper, and Oku protected the rebound.
The Pistons strengthened the blocking of the outside of the Rockets, but Maddy broke through and dunked easily, 18:23.
Brown finally understood that the Rockets were going to completely open up space, and they came up with a strong shooting lineup that forced the defensive system that the Pistons relied on to make a name for themselves to expose weaknesses.
The Pistons, Spurs, and Pacers are the top three defensive teams in the league, but they are still different. The Pacers rely more on stars, with the inside big gate Xiao Ao and the outside big lock Atay, the individual ability of these two supports the team's defensive system; The Spurs' defense is more intelligent and strategic, they often block the middle to break through and release opponents' jumpers or break the baseline (in the end, this is a relatively inefficient offensive method), and then hand it over to the defensive guru Duncan to solve the problem within the three-second zone; The Pistons are the strongest overall defensive team, and the double Wallace is very mobile, and they often use this feature to strengthen the pressure on the ball, put the outside line to break through, and contain the opponent with the strong defense of the double Wallace.
The first few Maddy breakaways were not very effective, not because of Prince's excellent footwork, but because the two Wallaces were in place early on. And this time? The Rockets' three-point shooter opened up a wide space, and the Pistons' help defense was not so easy.
At the timeout just now, Tang Shuai arranged it like this: "Bodiloga deserves to be the world's top point guard, and the team he controls is really relaxed. In the face of the Pistons' shifting speed, we have to hit the opponent with a three-point shot. When they expand their defense and pull out to defend threes, that's when Tracy shows his personal ability. ”
The Pistons faltered a bit, and Hamilton shot again and didn't go in. Maddie grabbed the rebound and went straight to the basket. Although the Pistons players were not slow to retreat, they were too far away under the control of the Rockets' many shooters and failed to defend the ball.
At the end of the first quarter, the Rockets extended their lead to seven points at 22:29. The team made an astonishing 5-of-8 three-point shot, which was quite efficient. The Pistons relied entirely on excellent rebounding to keep up with their opponents, and Big Ben grabbed five frontcourt rebounds in a single quarter.
"The opposing head coach deserves to be a famous coach!" Larry. Brown and Tomjanovich felt sorry for each other. The series has reached the sixth game, and both sides can still continue to come up with new tactics and keep playing their cards.
In the second quarter, the Rockets became more and more aggressive, simply replacing Wang Zhizhi, who shot better, while the Pistons sent in backup point guard Lynch. Hunter.
"Hunter anti-Maddie? That's too big a height gap, isn't it? Even Yuanfei was puzzled when he saw the situation on the field. Hunter is only 188cm, and although the defense is very hard, the innate conditions are difficult to make up.
This time Maddy fell into a trap, and he was cut off by Hunter on a breakaway with the ball, and the Pistons played a fast break.
"The opponent is so short of you, go back and eat him!" The old captain Olajuwon couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but complain off the field.
Old Brown smiled slightly, Maddie's technique had already been seen through by him. Maddie does have a good back-to-back fight, but he relies more on shaking and speed to play, and rarely uses physical confrontation. If Kobe Bryant's back play is a hard fight, Maddie is a slippery and rolling hit, and there are not many shots after physical confrontation. And Hunter, although his physical condition is mediocre, is indeed the most fierce defensive and serious player in the Pistons.
Now that the problem has been pushed in front of Lao Tang, do you want to trust Maddie to solve the problem by herself, or solve it through personnel adjustments. Lao Tang finally chose to believe Maddie first and let him play 2 more balls to see.
Hamilton also grabbed a rebound and drew a foul on Billups, making two free throws to close the gap to two points.
Maddie couldn't bear it, pulled out a three-point shot, and hit!
Larry. Brown's face changed, and what he feared most happened, and Maddie began to ignore the defense and shoot all kinds of shots. If Maddie throws away, he can't stop at all, he still remembers the 35.13 minutes of the Spurs! Hunter can't do anything about this head-on jumper.
It was still the calm Bodi Loga, who shook off Maddie and hit a two-point shot from a small angle, and stabilized his position a little.
Reed receives a pass from Maddie and makes a shooting pose again. He had already made two shots and two hits before, and he was still in a state of no missing shots.
Hamilton rushed to pounce, his outstretched finger slightly grazed the ball from Reed's shot, and the iron missed!
Reid glared at Hamilton, a scene from years ago in his mind.
In 1999, Reed, who had not yet joined the NBA, led Ohio State to the NCAA Final Four against Hamilton's University of Connecticut. After a hard-fought battle, Reid scored 15+8, both of which were the highest in the team. But Hamilton scored a game-high 24 points, leading UConn to a six-point narrow victory to reach the finals.
In the final, UConn went one step further and defeated Brand's Duke University to win the championship. A few months later, Brand, who had a strong performance, was selected by the Chicago Bulls as the No. 1 pick of the season, and Hamilton was also selected by the Wizards with a seventh-place finish. Reed, on the other hand, is determined to play in the collegiate league for another year and challenge for the championship again. But dreams are always beautiful and fragile, and in 2000 Ohio State University did even worse, stopping in the round of 32. The poor record also affected Reed's draft pick, which led to him being selected by the Rockets in the second round.
"It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Today is the time for me to avenge the elimination of the year! Reed gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
The ball bounced far away and happened to be picked up by Wang Zhizhi. Reed reacted quickly, saw Dazhi get the ball, and had already run to the bottom corner of the other side. Hamilton had just reacted and failed to keep up in time.
Reid catches the ball and shoots in the open space. The shot is fast, but the movement is very steady.
This cloud-piercing arrow broke the parity, and the difference was once again extended to 6 points.
