Chapter Seventy-Four: Invincible (II)
The Pistons Five Tigers are exactly the following lineup.
Chauncey Billups (point guard), Richard Hamilton (shooting guard), Tyshawn Prince (small forward), Rasheed Wallace (power forward), Ben Wallace (center).
Billups and Hamilton are two outside firepower points, plus a five-man bucket defense, which is simply not too strong.
It's no wonder that Milicic, who is a big spot, doesn't even get playing time here.
The game begins.
For the Heat, who just beat the Spurs, the Pistons seem to take it very seriously.
After all, if they want to win the championship, they are likely to have to cross the last hurdle of the Spurs, and now it is time to use the Heat to simulate the strength of the opponent.
From the very beginning, the Pistons showed their strong offensive and defensive capabilities.
Billups and Hamilton, the two major physical monsters, are constantly running with the Heat players, and the two big Wallaces on the interior are also constantly blocking and dismantling.
No matter how Wade and Liu Hao chase the defense, there will always be a time when they are blocked.
However, the Heat's offense is also difficult to defend.
The Pistons' iron-clad lineup is difficult to break through, but Liu Hao has the outside ability they are most afraid of, and with Wade's strong breakthrough, they can also find opportunities.
Billups defended Liu Hao, and other players took the initiative to pull away and let Liu Hao play alone.
Now Liu Hao also has a feeling that everyone is misplaced, and this kind of opening up the space and hitting Billups who is shorter than himself is simply a piece of cake!
Bang Dang——!
This goal was a successful hit.
Thankfully, Odom was brave enough to get an offensive rebound over the heads of the two Wallaces.
Liu Hao's eyes were fast, and he rushed into the inner line in an instant.
Odom understood and showed a behind-the-head pass on the Pistons' inside, and Liu Hao caught the ball and threw it!
Then Wade also stood up, I heard that it is difficult for you to break through, I want to try!
Lightning-fast breakthroughs even the Pistons Five have to be afraid of, which also makes the defensive pressure on other players less.
Wade broke through, and although the route was blocked most of the time, he always found a place to get the ball out.
As a result, Liu Hao and Butler were able to fire frequently.
The piston outside gate Prince even directly opposed Liu Hao, trying to lock this yellow-skinned kid.
Don't look at Prince's skinny figure, his defensive ability is obvious even in the league.
In Liu Hao's previous life, the Pistons were able to beat the Lakers, and Prince played an important role in Kobe's restrictions.
can lock Kobe Bryant, naturally Liu Hao can't do anything about him now, but Liu Hao still has a way to create opportunities for his teammates.
You only need to summon Odom to come out to block and dismantle, and for this almost all-round big man, the Pistons are also very important.
After the blocking, Rashid Wallace didn't dare to let go of Odom completely, so Liu Hao was given enough time to break through.
Even if Prince can immediately make up for the defense, Liu Hao has already entered the interior line.
The most solid barrier on the piston's inside line, Ben Wallace immediately blocked Liu Hao's way.
Big Ben's defense is like a wall, and just looking at it makes Liu Hao feel suffocated.
However, Chandler has long been prepared in the rear, and Liu Hao's purpose is this.
This one must be another good one!
However, smack!
The pass was intercepted by Big Ben!!
Liu Hao then remembered that there were rumors that Ben Wallace was not a big man as he seemed on the surface, but in fact, his real height was only about the same as Jordan.
Nima is terrified when she thinks about it!
This man is actually the height of a small forward, no wonder he is so flexible!
After stealing Liu Hao, Big Ben immediately made a long pass to Billups, who combined with Hamilton's fast break to score two more points.
Coming back, under Riley's instructions, Liu Hao and Wade swapped places.
This is also a big play for the Heat, because Liu Hao and Wade are both two-way guards, and letting them switch infinitely can confuse the opponent's defense.
Sure enough, Wade broke through Billups, and with the help of Butler's blocking, Liu Hao received the ball in the open space, and Hamilton immediately made up for it.
Although it is not easy to play Hamilton, it is still easier than playing Prince, especially Liu Hao's style of play, and the small one always has to suffer a loss.
Hamilton was blocked by Liu Haoge, and suddenly, Liu Hao suddenly turned around and broke through.
It's still a big book, but Liu Hao's speed has risen, and it's impossible to stop!
In the face of Daben, Liu Hao directly used the semi-finished [Ginobili Serpentine Step].
This kind of weird pace will be reacted to for a moment by anyone, and Big Ben is no exception.
However, the latter immediately reacted and jumped to give Liu Hao a big hat.
This goal is mainly caused by Liu Hao's poor skills, and Daben's defensive ability is too good.
Fortunately, Liu Hao had expected this situation for a long time, and the ball was thrown high.
Bang Dang——!
Chandler jumped up in the air and slammed the dunk!
I have to say that the Pistons' interior defense is too strong, which greatly limits the Heat's play.
So then the Heat pulled Odom out directly, allowing the latter to swim on the outside and bring out Rashid Wallace to weaken the interior defense.
At this time, the Heat's third tactic came, letting Odom act as a point guard, and Butler to implement the block, and liberate Liu Hao and Wade at the same time.
The title of "Left Hand Magician" was not given for nothing, and Odom only needed a single block to tear a hole in the opposing defense and find his teammates accurately.
For a while, the Heat set off a wave of offensive small ** in the Pistons' iron bucket array.
At the end of the first quarter, the Heat actually led the Pistons by one point at 27:26!
It's an incredible thing, and the 27 points per game is far more than the Pistons' average points conceded in a single quarter.
Like the Spurs, the Pistons' desire to win is extremely high, even in the preseason.
This also made the audience very happy, this game is worth it!
In the second quarter, the Pistons took out Rashid Wallace and Hamilton.
The Heat, on the other hand, took Wade and Butler and replaced them with Wang Zhizhi and Alston.
Haslem, Odom and Wang Zhizhi are the three major interior lineups, it seems that the Heat want to fight with the Pistons for defense!
No one could have imagined that such a big man as Wang Zhizhi would come up to attack.
On the offensive end, Odom has taken on the role of small forward, and he has enough quality to do so.
As soon as Wang Zhizhi came up, he ran to the outside, and Big Ben had a question mark on his face, this person is really strange, does he want to attract himself out when he runs outside like this?
No way!
Hmmm——!
Dazhi hit a three-point shot as soon as he came up, Daben was stunned, and there is this kind of operation!?
In fact, Dazhi's three-point shooting has always been very accurate, but at that time, the league rarely allowed the inside to shoot three-point play.
This season, thanks to Riley's ability to change and improve his own play, he tried to shoot three-pointers, but he didn't expect it to be effective!
On the next ball, Dazhi still operated the same way.
Ben Wallace thought to himself: it can't be done, the ball just now should be lucky, this ball will definitely not ......
Hmmm——!
I'm Nima, Big Ben can see it now, this yellow-skinned center is not simple.
"Wang, you voted well!"
Chandler smiled heartily that Wang Zhizhi's play can make the Pistons' defense biased to the outside, so he will feel good himself.
Dazhi, who doesn't know how long it has been since he has been praised by others, showed a firm smile, and sure enough, the efforts in the offseason were rewarded, and at this moment his heart was as excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.
Back in the past, Chandler played against Big Ben on the defensive end, and Dazhi's opponent was Pistons bench forward Memet Oku.
Oku is good both offensively and defensively and is an important member of the Pistons bench.
But today Dazhi has started to go crazy, first capping Oku on the defensive end, and then grabbing offensive rebounds on his head.
In just a few minutes, Dazhi scored 6 points, 3 boards, 1 assist and 1 block.
Riley, who was in the coach's seat, couldn't help but smile and said, his vision was really right, Wang was a good substitute choice!
At this time, it is time for Liu Hao, the outside line, to exert his might.
Without Hamilton's strict defense, Liu Hao immediately turned over and leaned back to teach the Pistons to be a backup guard.
Even if it is exchanged for Prince, it is useless, Liu Hao passed Odom to score frequently, and even led the Pistons by 10 points at 56:46 at the end of the second quarter!
At the end of the game, the Heat won 112-105 against the Pistons.
Liu Hao played 18 minutes individually, scoring 12 points on 5-of-11 shooting, 2-of-3 three-pointers, plus 2 rebounds and 5 assists.
Dazhi came off the bench and performed well, playing 20 minutes, shooting 5-of-8, 2-of-2 from three-point range, and 1-of-2 from the free-throw line to score 13 points, plus 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block.
Rookie Wade also played well, playing 19 minutes, shooting 4-of-9 and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line to score 10 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.
Winning first against the Spurs and then slashing the Pistons, the Heat, who have won five consecutive preseason wins, are invincible and have set off a frenzy in the East.
The Heat in the new season is bound to reach a new level!
