Chapter Ninety-Four: Iron-Blooded Confrontation
If the Pistons leave a big foundation in the offseason, the 76ers won't have a chance at all.
But they didn't, and although the added Chris Webber was also very good, he lacked the Pistons' iron and blood, and he looked out of place.
Even so, the Pistons are still the best defensive team in the league.
This season, the Pistons are averaging 96 points per game and defending opponents averaging just 91.8 points per game.
Especially as Prince grows up, the pressure on the outside players increases.
Kyle Korver's mistake became the opening kick-off for the Pistons.
The Pistons attacked, and Billups pushed steadily.
Unhurriedly organizing at the top of the arc, it is still the same blocking and pick-and-roll tactic, changing the direction of the breakthrough, from the front in, holding the ball with the left hand away from the defender.
Being able to dribble with both hands and left hands is an essential operation for top NBA ball handlers.
Iverson struck hard against the tall and strong Billups, who ran inside and made a layup in three steps, before suddenly slowing down.
Tips for the elderly!
Hit the board!
Hit.
Iverson slapped the ball in exasperation, Billups was too chicken thief for this layup, and Jason Kidd had a fight.
Attacking in the frontcourt, the Pistons are still exercising physical confrontation.
Especially Al Harrington, Rasheed Wallace is very close to the ground.
Rashid Wallace and Ben Wallace formed the fastest interior duo in the league back then, especially Ben Wallace, who was the moving golden bell and the most terrifying assistant defender in the league.
Rasheed Wallace can resist and follow, and there are all kinds of small moves, and Al Harington can't get rid of him at all.
Among the Pistons, Hamilton made the most small moves.
Hamilton couldn't be the best defender due to his physical gifts, but he relied on other aspects to make up for it, a small move that harassed Decorwall and saw his running speed drop significantly.
Iverson had to come on his own.
He had a big lead over Billups in terms of speed, and with a cross step, he broke inside.
"呲~"
Both men were rubbing their sneakers against the floor.
Billups raised his arm high to interfere, and Iverson wore a step-back jumper from mid-range!
missed, and the rebound was firmly guarded by Chris Webb.
The commentators who broadcast the game live were amazed by the Pistons' defense, and the weakest defender, Chris Webb, dealt with the 76ers' offensive mission and could only eat cake Daim Porter.
ESPN Chief Basketball Commentator Mike Brin said:
"Now, the Pistons are causing huge problems for the 76ers, just as the 76ers did with the Cavaliers in the last round, and they also set a trap on the defensive end."
"Chris Webber had an unpleasant season with the 76ers, suffered a buyout after arriving with the Hawks, and now comes to the Pistons, but has found a winning feeling, perfectly filling the void left by the Pistons' Big Ben, who are still in the top three in the league."
Iguodala was trapped in Prince's defense, and the 76ers were assigned to Iverson alone.
In several rounds of offense, only Iverson hit a mid-range jumper alone, trailing the Pistons 2-8.
The king called a timeout tomorrow.
........
Over the course of a season, the 76ers' slow start seems to have become the norm.
Iguodala shifted the ball to the right, and Al Harrington held the ball past Rasheed Wallace, stepped back, and shot a three-pointer with a dummy swing.
Rashid's long arm interfered, but he didn't jump.
Harrington had to move again, and finally it was Durham Porter's inside hook, which wasn't his style of offense, and basketball turned out as a matter of course.
Under the basket, Chris Webb, who is in the position of the card, grabbed the backcourt rebound.
There are too many physical confrontations, basically every ball, and the Pistons are looking for confrontations.
Wang Mingming's eyes flashed and he beckoned to Paul Millsap on the bench.
Millsap took off his coat and ran to Wang Mingming.
Wang Mingming hooked Millsap's shoulder, and Millsap lowered his head and followed Wang Mingming's arm to look at the field.
"Paul, look at this game, the Pistons' defensive holes."
Millsap rubbed his eyes, "Where, coach, what a hole in the Pistons' defense!" ”
"Forbidden Zone."
Wang reminded him tomorrow, and then gave instructions: "Look at the Pistons' restricted area, Chris Webb and Rashid Wallace, although Wallace moves quickly, but because he has to defend Al Harrington, he can only be in the high post, and even have to follow the three-point line, and Chris Webb is the only one who really protects the frame." ”
"But Chris Webb's rim protection isn't very good, especially for the small guard's assault and the big inside's down."
"There are two things I want you to do, one is to push Chris Webber away when Allen Iverson forms a breakthrough and kills inside, creating a good space for Allen to shoot; The other thing is that once Allen passes the ball to you and gets the ball, you have to go forward and hit the basket to knock them over with your excellent resistance and impact! ”
"them!" Paul Millsap let out a low roar, his eyes red.
"Go ahead!"
King pats Paul Millsap on the back tomorrow, and it was time for the rotation when Paul Millsap replaced Durham Porter on the field.
Dareham Potter came off the pitch, slightly frustrated.
Against Chris Webber, he thinks he is not at a disadvantage, this is the Eastern Conference Finals, and he wants to perform well, but for some reason, the head coach replaced him.
If it was a day in the past, it would have been Al Harrington coming on.
But he didn't dare to question Wang Mingming's decision, Wang Mingming is now the only voice of the 76ers, and even Iverson has to be obedient to the scheduling he arranged.
Wang Mingming smiled and stretched out his hand and high-fived Daim Potter.
Potter Dareham doesn't have much potential but has improved this season. Although he is not the ideal best center forward, he is able to do some tasks well.
Dareham Potter sat down after a high-five.
Millsap, who is 2.03m tall on the field, plays the No. 5 position.
"Both sides have made a short inside lineup." Mike Brin said with a smile: "Chris Webber is not very tall, only 2.06 meters, in the past both were used as power forwards, and now, both of them play the No. 5 position. It can be seen that 76ers head coach Wang Mingming really trusts Paul Millsap, a rookie player. ”
Millsap was stuck dead behind Chris Webb.
He's going to be more positive than Hellam Porter, Chris Webber frowned, at the beginning of the season, he was still very young when he saw Millsap, but now he is actively looking for a confrontation, this Millsap is full of tendons, and he is more suitable to stay with the Pistons than him.
At this point, Iverson completed a one-on-one breakout.
Although Billups defends well, if Iverson really breaks through, he is also easy to be passed, and it can only be said that the speed of adjustment is very fast, and he can continue to put pressure on Iverson after losing his position.
If there is any more interference in front of him at this time, Iverson will definitely not advance.
But at this time, Millsap suddenly took a step across, detoured in front of Chris Webb, and the referee couldn't see the small angle, raised his arm, and pushed Chris Webb away.
Iversonto made a low-handed layup with no interference.
Hit!
