Chapter Ninety-Eight: Changing Scenes
Auburn Hills Palace.
Pistons fans looked disappointed.
After 48 minutes of fierce battle, he still lost the game in the end. His home court was thrilling by the 76ers.
The 76ers' players were in a frenzy of celebration.
Including Wang Mingming, the moment before the goal tensed the nerves, and after the goal, the emotions were vented a lot, ran into the field, and surrounded the protagonist on the field.
Paul Millsap.
The 22-year-old player, tonight, redeemed the team and became a hero of the city.
"He's so good!"
The king will not hesitate to praise tomorrow.
In the press conference after the game, he expressed his trust and love for his disciples, "Paul is an outstanding team player, but his individual ability is beyond doubt. He has grown into a star-like player, a reliable offensive and defensive pillar for the team. ”
A real goal to fame.
After this match, Paul Millsap's name was praised by various media outlets.
The player who completed the aerial shootout drew too much attention, and with the entire class of '06 without a superstar, Paul Millsap has the potential to be a leader.
People say that the 76ers have made a good business, and Millsap is the most valuable asset.
As a result of the 76ers' other excellent operations, as well as exchanging draft picks with the Hawks, the 76ers entered the Eastern Conference playoffs, the draft pick depreciated, and the Hawks were third from the bottom in the East, and may even get the top pick.
Wang Tomorrow has proven to be a superstar at training young players, also known as a boon for the 76ers.
Some people in the industry know that the reason for all this is Wang Mingming.
Including trading Chris Webb, swapping draft picks, and picking Safrosa and Millsap, judging from the details, the history of Wang Ming's ascension to the throne is simply a complete history of conspiracy.
There are also those who feel unwilling for Cheeks, who is famous, but the team was a little slow at the beginning of the season, but he didn't expect to be caught up by Wang tomorrow.
But it is estimated that in the end, Chris Webb was bought out, and the Pistons picked up an All-Star interior for nothing, which Wang would never have imagined tomorrow.
Fortunately, the first game was won.......
.......
No one would dare to comment that the 76ers would lose easily.
ESPN also remained silent, and a few people stood up to judge, shaking their heads and shaking their heads.
"It's hard to say, it's hard to say........ The strength of the two teams is balanced, and the outcome is unpredictable......."
In the G2 game of the Eastern Conference finals, the Pistons played an excellent offense.
One of those points was that Hamilton also started hitting three-pointers.
Hamilton is a retro shooting guard with an incomparably accurate mid-range shot, but his career three-point shooting percentage is not particularly high, only 35 percent shooting, and he doesn't shoot much, like this season he averaged 19.8 points per game and only averaged 1.7 three-point shots per game.
That's well below the number of shots taken by a group of 76ers three-point shooters.
But in the G2 game, Hamilton made four three-pointers and hit seven three-pointers from the outside with Billups.
The Pistons blossomed inside and outside, scoring 99 points in the game.
The 76ers scored a total of 90 points.
The two teams were still scorching in the first half, and were pulled away by the Pistons in the third quarter, after which the 76ers set off a counterattack, once narrowing the gap to only 2 points.
The two sides drew 1-1, and the 76ers had home-court advantage.
......
Back at the Wajovia Center, Wang will hold a coaching staff meeting tomorrow.
The main problem is how to further solve the offensive problem of the 76ers.
After two games, the first and second games, the 76ers did not play the style they should have played this season at all.
The 76ers are characterized by breaking, three-point shooting, and defensive turnaround....... However, in these two games, it was inevitable to enter the rhythm of the Pistons, play positions, and stay up.
"The high pick-and-roll is not very efficient for the Pistons' offense, they are very pressive against the ball carrier, and they are also very good at defending after blocking."
Wang tomorrow took out the video footage of the first two games and gave instructions: "You first look at the blocking of Iverson and Al Harrington. ”
"The quality of Al's pick-and-roll is not very good, and Iverson will have a hard time getting rid of Billups' entanglement, but Al's ability to open up space is very strong, and once he blocks and picks, Rasheed Wallace will definitely pounce outside the three-point line and not give Al an easy three-point shot. Then there's the pick-and-roll ....... of Iverson and Dyrem Porter."
"If you don't block and dismantle, then you have to play alone." Wang Mingming pointed out a few more problems in singles.
But singles, as everyone knows, is not too efficient.
"I think the main thing is that the passing line is too obvious, and the Pistons can quickly rotate the defense based on our passes, like Kyle Korver, who has the ball in hand and the defenders are already in front of them." Randy Ayes offers his opinion.
Wang Ming nodded, the Pistons' rotation defensive speed is the top three in the league, and a large part of the strong defense is because all the players are fast and have outstanding awareness.
"The competition for rebounds in the frontcourt is not active enough, and the impact of hitting the basket is lacking." Moshe Malone suggested that if there were more frontcourt rebounds, there would be more opportunities for secondary offense: "Chris Webb is old, Rashid's rebounding ability is average, and we should play to that advantage. ”
Jim Sr. thought for a moment and put forward a suggestion to continue to strengthen the mid-range pressing: "In the last game, although the Pistons hit a lot of three-pointers, this is not their norm, we did a very good job in the mid-range defense, which is something we deserve recognition and praise, so in the next game, this aspect of defense cannot be discarded, and we must continue to play our advantage in this area." ”
Wang stood up tomorrow, and in front of the big TV in the conference room, the video of the game continued to be played.
He paced back and forth, pondering the tactical countermeasures for the G3 battle.
.......
May 27th.
Philadelphia.
Wachovia Center Arena.
The G3 battle of the Eastern Conference Finals is highly anticipated.
During this period of time, the NBA is one of the hottest games in the United States, and there are also a large number of basketball fans around the world.
CCTV5 sent two groups of people to focus on the East and West finals respectively.
Zhang Weiping, who was in charge of the east final, went out of the scene before the game.
"Audience friends, audience friends, I'm in the Philadelphia Center Arena, and behind me are the Philadelphia 76ers and Detroit Pistons who are about to play, and after the two teams were tied 1-1, today will be the third game of their meeting."
During the warm-up training, the fans entered.
In the entire arena, there are only sporadic Pistons fans.
For the most part, it was the 76ers fans wearing white home jerseys.
The noisy voices of the crowd gathered together.
"The Pistons are so fierce, and they are all killed by us away, this time we win again, and the finals are expected!"
"Hopefully Allen will score 40 points and lead the team to victory!"
"Coach Wang tomorrow is very calm, this is already his regular demeanor, and he really has the demeanor of a general."
