In Brown's mind, this game is half the story. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

With the lesson of being dominated by Yao Ming in the finals last year, the Pistons vigorously recruited the interior in the offseason. Unexpectedly, new signing Coleman was no longer as brave as he used to be, and he fell out of the rotation early in the regular season and only played 50 minutes in the whole season. However, Brown is not worried about this, after all, the interior lineup is very deep, and there is no problem with rotation.

But Big Ben's injury changed everything. While Rashid and McDice are good defenders, they are nowhere near as athletic as Ben and have limited defensive coverage. Not to mention old Campbell. Despite the fact that Big Ben is only about 2 meters tall, he averages 2.4 blocks per game and is almost everywhere on the defensive end.

In the second quarter, the Rockets continued to slam the inside, and finally a forced layup by Bosh caused a foul on Rashid's beater, and his third foul of the game. After Bosh made two free throws, the margin had widened to 10 points. Brown called a timeout to re-line the interior combination of McDyce and Campbell, whose athleticism and ability to compete with the duo of Wallace were worlds apart, and the Pistons' proud steel defense was about to be dismantled from the inside.

Still Bodi Loga couldn't stand it, and he boldly suggested: "Coach, please let Darko play and try." ”

Brown's face was ugly, and he flatly refused: "Darko is not capable enough to play in the finals, and letting him play is the same as letting Coleman play, both of which are broken out of the penalty area by Yao." ”

"Let him try!" Bodi Loga insisted: "At least he is the closest person to Yao in the whole team!" ”

In the Pistons' player registration data, Prince, McDyce and Big themselves are 6 feet 9 inches tall, Rashid and Coleman are 6 feet 10 inches tall, and Campbell is 6 feet 11 inches, all of which are lower than Milicic's 7 feet (1 foot = 12 inches), and Milicic weighs 250 pounds, which is also more than 240 pounds and ranks first on the team. So Bodi Loga was right, Dako. Milicic is indeed the closest person to Yao Ming in the team.

Bodi Loga's forcible recommendation is also selfish to a certain extent. At the Athens Olympics 10 months ago, the world's No. 1 Serbian and Montenegro men's basketball team suffered an upset loss to the Chinese team, and finally ranked only 11th. Bodiloga's loss to the Great Wall trio of China again in just two months was a big blow to him. What's even more terrifying is that the team has infighting, and compatriots and teammates actually throw fists at each other. Coach Obradovic, who resigned after the Olympics, revealed that Wolves' Jalic, SuperSonic's Radmanovic and other stars were involved in the fight. Bodiloga was completely disheartened by this, and he announced his retirement from the national team after the Olympics. It was because of this imperfect curtain call that Bodiloga, who had a strong sense of responsibility, felt guilty. He often thinks that if he had more leadership and absolute authority in the national team, he might have been able to avoid this infighting. But the past is irretrievable, and he can only look forward.

And now, Pistons' teammate Milicic is a rising star in Serbia and Montenegro, and Bodillo has stepped up his behavior to make a difference, and he also wants to develop Milicic into a truly qualified NBA player and make him a new generation leader of his national team.

Eventually, stubborn old Brown succumbed. Bodi Loga is not as flamboyant and disobedient as Iverson, who he coached. He has a suave and approachable personality, coupled with a very high ball quotient, the coach can say anything. Brown likes this disciple very much in his heart, and he is also deliberately trying to train this disciple to become the leader of the Pistons. Now that the leader has spoken, the coach should always respect that opinion.

Milicic glanced at Big Brother gratefully, but didn't dare say anything. Unlike the battle-hardened Bodiloga, he was just a fledgling shy boy, and he was so afraid of the harsh old Brown that he didn't dare to raise any objections.

"Oh, Milicic is on!" The sharp-eyed Curry spotted the problem first.

"Milicic didn't play a few games in the regular season, can such an important game be played?" Smith questioned: "He's too young after all (Note: Even though Milicic has been in the league for two years, he's only just turned 20 at this time. He was only 17 years old when he scouted the Pistons as a rookie). ”

"I think it's the Pistons trying to strengthen the rim, after all, our players broke through too easily." Yuanfei analyzed: "Although Milicic has played very little time, he has a talent for fear in blocks. The block rate this season is as high as 5.1%, which is higher than Big Ben's 5.0%! ”

"That is, if he continues to improve and get consistent playing time, could he be the next block king in the league?" Tang Shuai asked.

"That's a big possibility. This player is quite talented, but for some reason the development is terrible. It is estimated that the stubborn old Brown does not look down on him. Yuan Fei smiled: "This is not a bad thing for us. ”

Bodiloga patiently controlled the ball and gestured for Milicic to pull out to block it. Milicic hesitated slightly, but followed Big Brother's instructions. Yao Ming was a little hesitant, if he went out with him and hoped that Dazhi would be able to do it? He took two steps forward but didn't fully follow.

Milicic had a solid cover to keep out Jefferson, Bodiloga broke through, and Jefferson rounded the screen to form a front and back wrap with Yao Ming, who was holding in front of him. But Bodillo added a return pass, Milicic received the ball in front of the three-point line, will he shoot the basket?

"Will he shoot a three-pointer?" Tang Shuai was also confused.

"The pre-draft information says yes, but that's Europe. I didn't know that he would shoot the NBA three-point line, he played for 2 years, and only shot 0 of 1 in total. Yuan Fei didn't know exactly how his shooting was, "His draft template is Nowitzki!" ”

"I've heard that the Pistons selected him to miss Anthony and Wade because he hit three three-pointers in a row more than 1 meter from beyond the three-point line in Europe." Curry Road.

Milicic took a deep breath, adjusted, shot, and the ball went in!

"It's really in!" Yao Ming's eyes widened, and he blamed himself for not getting out. It's really because I don't know much about the technical characteristics of this opponent.

"Change the guard!" Dazhi immediately said to him: "I'll defend him in a while, and you will guard against McDyce." ”

Yao Ming nodded. Soon he got the ball in the low post on the left side and had to get a beat for Milicic on the offensive end.

"I was able to beat him last year, but he didn't play much this year, so I don't believe I can improve anywhere!" Yao Ming thought secretly. He made a bold move, a low-handed dribble pretending to go to the baseline to cut in, and suddenly turned around and hooked with his right hand.

He was waiting for a big hand that had been planned for a long time. With a "snap", Yao Ming took a hat. Bodillo Gaddy made the ball forward quickly, and in the middle of the high-speed movement, he turned and dribbled past Jefferson. Billups stepped forward to block the shot, and he pulled it up and shot straight to the basket.

Swipe the net in. With two three-pointers in a row, the Pistons slowed down. (To be continued.) )
