The Hawks have self-confidence and want to see the moves, while the Pistons, as the weakers, keep returning the moves, fighting and fighting, and the two sides are actually evenly matched!

After the start of the second quarter of the game, Jason Terry started the main offense, Liu Mang was the deputy, Korver and Persson alternately came up as the pitcher, and the Pistons relied on steady defense to break up the Hawks' team cooperation, so that Liu Mang and Jason Terry and Maddy, who came up in the second half of the second quarter, entered the single mode, and then used the offensive ability of Billups, Hamilton and Bosh to support the offensive end, and brought out Delfino's three-point and air cuts and Ben Wallace's ability to eat cakes under the basket.

Billups's steady and steady characteristics of bringing waves, seeking stability in the waves; Hamilton's precise mid-range shooting skills, and even catch-and-turn mid-range shooting techniques; Bosh's mid-to-long range throw; Delfino's air cuts and three-pointers; Ben Wallace's rebounding and physicality were all exploited by Coach Sanders!

At halftime, the two teams played an unexpectedly high game, with the Hawks scoring 63 points on 23-of-42 shooting, 6-of-13 three-pointers and 11-of-13 free throws.

The Pistons scored 64 points on 24-of-44 shooting, 3-of-10 three-pointers, and 8-of-14 free throws!

The two teams are evenly matched! And the Eagles are still a little weak!

Liu Mang had 25 points in the half, Maddy 11, Jason Terry 9, Kwame Brown 4, Mourning 4, Iguodala 2, Prince 2, Rasheed Wallace and Persson each scored a three-pointer.

On the Pistons' side, Hamilton scored 20 points in the half, Bosh 16 points, Billups 13 points and 5 assists, the others combined for 15 points, and the three Arrows combined for 49 points!

The Eagles went into halftime with a point down.

……

Liu Mang had scored 25 points on 8-of-14 shooting in the half, but the Pistons still clung to the score, if Liu Mang hadn't made two consecutive three-pointers in the last two minutes of the second quarter, it was really hard to say which side was ahead!

Liu Mang felt the progress of this Pistons team!

This Pistons team, although it does not have the same oppressive defensive intensity as the Pistons team in the original time and space, but the offensive end is much better.

Liu Mang feels that this lineup is more suitable for Billups than the iron-blooded lineup built by Larry Brown.

Bosh is younger and more impactful than Rasheed Wallace, who originally came to the Pistons, and Rasheed Wallace's offensive performance at his peak is not as good as Bosh this season.

The original Pistons Five Tigers, Rashid Wallace completely degraded on the offensive end of the Pistons, the two defensive giants of the Pistons team are very powerful, but the defense is more than enough and the offense is insufficient, and Bosh is different, he is only in the second grade, his body and physical fitness are similar to Garnett, he met Sanders, the head coach who trained Garnett, and got the opportunity to fully display his talents, and Ben Wallace formed a strong interior combination of one offense and one defense.

Delfino is a little worse defensively, more passionate than Prince, Ben Wallace and Hamilton are in their prime, a year younger than when Coach Sanders took over in the original '05-06 season, especially Ben Wallace, who has not yet reached the precipice of 31.

In the original 05-06 season, the Pistons' Ben Wallace had a serious decline on the defensive end, and the defensive end dropped from the best defensive efficiency of 9.6 and 9.1 in the history of the 03-04 season and 04-05 season to 6.4 defensive efficiency in the 05-06 season.

In the original time and space, the Pistons in the 04-05 season were 54 wins, and in the 05-06 season, when the records of other teams declined, the Pistons bucked the trend and won 64 wins, but the lineup did not change, and the improvement brought by Coach Sanders is obvious.

Tactics are difficult to play, Liu Mang and Maddie have tried to organize offensive distribution, but the Pistons side of the defense and cutting coordination is very good, the Hawks can also organize the offense, and the scoring is much more scattered than the Pistons' side, the Pistons team has seven people on the court, two have not scored a point, and the scoring efficiency of the Hawks to organize the offense is not as high as that of a single score......

Looking at Bosh's 16 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists in the half, it is like a defense, rebounding poor man's version of the scoring strengthened version of Eastern Garnett, Liu Mang feels that he has poached Rashid Wallace, but it seems to have dug a hole!

Poaching Rashid Wallace forced the Pistons to pick a power forward, but instead helped the current coach Sanders find the most suitable player.

Last season, Larry Brown didn't pay attention to Bosh, Bosh came out of a strong team, and this season he met Coach Sanders and took off all of a sudden, and he was rated higher than James, Wade, Milicic, and Anthony in the Eastern Conference finals!

Dig a pit for yourself, then dig it, just don't jump yourself, let others jump, Liu Mang feels more and more motivated, more oppressive than imagined, this sense of oppression Liu Mang only played the Lakers in the finals last season, and he felt this sense of oppression again in the playoffs this season, and he was even more excited.

A little hungry, Liu Mang shouted: "Andre, bring me some bread and Gatorade, I'm hungry!" ”

"Okay......" Iguodala staggered to the staff to get bread and energy drinks.

The coaching staff here on the Eagles side is starting to lose their hair again, it's too hard to play!

Coach Kruger is in a hurry!

At halftime, the opponent played more and more fiercely, Billups's offensive mobilization was at his fingertips, and it seemed that 5 assists in the half were not much, but his type of player was not directly passing the ball to his teammates to score, but controlling the rhythm.

It's a lot like Kidd and Payton, it's in the same vein.

Coach Kruger was having a headache, and when he heard that Liu Mang was still thinking about eating at this time! The fire came at once: "Ace! Come over to me and figure out something! ”

Liu Mang immediately ran over and responded, "How coach?" ”

"Do you have any solutions for dealing with the Pistons?" Coach Kruger glared at Liu Mang and said.

"Uh......" Liu Mang leaned into Coach Kruger's ear and said something.

When Coach Kruger heard this, he suddenly felt so stupid that he had neglected the simplest things......

……

……

Coming back from halftime, the Hawks sent a combination of Liu Mang, Iguodala, Maddy, Josh Smith, and Kwame Brown.

On the Pistons' side, Billups and Hamilton continued to play, and second-year draft pick Ronald Dudley played at small forward, with an interior combination of Derrick Coleman and Ben Wallace on the line.

The third quarter began, with the Pistons attacking first.

Billups came up and tried to shoot a three-pointer to make his own threat, but unfortunately he didn't go in.

The Pistons retreated very quickly, Liu Mang did not rush after grabbing the defensive rebound, stabilized, controlled the ball and advanced to the frontcourt.

Hamilton felt frightened with Maddie, afraid that Liu Mang would pass the ball to Maddie.

Dudley, who averaged 10 minutes per game in the regular season, was drafted in the '03 draft and shot okay, and his defense was really bad, otherwise he wouldn't have averaged 6.2 points per game in 10 minutes per game in his rookie year and was given up by the Bulls.

Billups, for his part, was also nervous and ready to pinch Maddie at any time, and of course, Liu Mang would be the best if he played alone.

Liu Mang crossed the center line, advanced to a distance of more than one meter or two meters from the free throw line, and suddenly began to accelerate!

"Ding...... Strongest first step triggers at level 5, burst speed +5......"

The space required for the use of the strongest first step outside line is at least one step or more, and now at this time, it is time for Liu Mang to think that the critical moment!

Liu Mang suddenly accelerated, and Billupsla didn't have time, and Liu Mang suddenly rushed into the inside line from the left!

The defensive discipline of the Pistons is even better than that of the Bulls, and it immediately shrank, although Dudley's defensive ability is not good, but he can still stay in the NBA, relying on being positive, it is not easy to lose the draft, and he came up to block Liu Mang, who is obviously eight centimeters shorter than him but much stronger than him, and Billups also caught up from behind.

Liu Mang immediately passed the ball to Iguodala on the left sideline, and after Iguodala received the ball, he didn't shoot three points, and also chose to rush inside.

Hamilton quickly let go of Maddie and made up for Iguodala, blocking Iguodala in the left midrange, Iguodala then distributed the ball to Maddy, and Maddy received the ball or chose to rush inside......

Ben Wallace was attracted to the right side of the three-second zone when Liu Mang burst in, Coleman was attracted to the left three-second zone when Iguodala broke through, and Maddie got a big gap and rushed directly to the basket!

Coleman turned around and could only hug Maddie, who grabbed the ball with one hand and threw it to the basket, unfortunately not going in, but got two free throws!

Maddie walked to the free-throw line and made 1 of 2 free throws...... However, it also tied the score, 64 draws!

Seeing the Hawks' style of play, Coach Sanders on the Pistons bench had his heart pounding!

The coaching staff on the Hawks' side had a headache at one point, and the Pistons' side had even more headaches!

Coach Sanders has done everything he can to make a fairly effective adjustment to the team's offense, scoring one more point than the Hawks at halftime, but their starting lineup, Billups and Hamilton and Ben Wallace all played the entire half in the first half, and only the young Bosh and Delfino rested for four minutes, fitness was a big problem.

After the start of the second half of the game, the Eagles adopted Liu Mang's idea on their side, more than people!

Since the Pistons didn't win the championship in 04, there were a lot fewer people hugging their thighs, and their bench lineup was quite miserable, and even Coleman was an important part of their interior bench.

The Eagles replaced five players with strong impact, and rushed inside one by one, just to create damage!

Then, just as Coach Sanders feared most when his heart pounded, the Hawks began to slam into the basket!

Let's not talk about the offensive efficiency, mainly when Bosh is not there, the pace of interior defense is slow!

After 3 minutes of play in the third quarter, although the score was not overtaken by the Hawks, the Pistons and the Hawks were tied at 70, however, Ben Wallace was forced to carry a foul!

And it's only been 3 minutes, and the Pistons have already reached four fouls! Next, in addition to offensive fouls, the Pistons can make free throws for any foul on the defensive end! Coach Sanders was forced to call a timeout.

Encountering a rogue team like the Eagles, Coach Sanders's face that looked like a gangster godfather became even more gloomy, and he angrily scolded the brain gate coach opposite for being shameless! With such despicable means.

There is no way, there are people, and Coach Sanders can only replace the best five players under his hands, Billups, Hamilton, Delfino, Bosh, Ben Wallace five players on the field.

The Hawks started the regular rotation again, Liu Mang continued to be on the court, Maddy, Persson, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown came on the court, and fought hard with the Pistons starting lineup.

The team that can play 63 wins by starting the team is also the Pistons, and the Hawks still have Jason Terry and Mourning, Persson, Muhammad and several Mesozoic players and veterans on the bench, and the young players can also play well in the regular season.

When the Pistons played a new match, the Hawks didn't have the advantage and played the third quarter with the Pistons.

At the end of the third quarter, the Hawks trailed the Pistons by one point at 92-93.

……

……

"We're going to hold on! The opponent's physical fitness is not as good as ours, we just need to hold on, and when the opponent's physical fitness declines, we can take away the game in a wave! Ace, you and Tracy have to be more pressing defensively......" Mike Woodson was yelling at the defense.

After the third quarter, to Liu Mang's expectations, the opponent played really well!

Liu Mang scored 38 points in the third quarter, but he still couldn't pull the score away, and even moved the sky because of Hamilton's empty three-point shot, and the shooting rate fell behind by one point with a three-point shot!

Billups had 26 points and nine assists in the third quarter, Hamilton had 31 points in the third quarter, and Delfino's nine points in the third quarter played a key role......

The Pistons are so hard to beat!

……

After the break, the Hawks reverted back to the starting lineup, and it was time for the decisive moment, Liu Mang brought Jason Terry, Maddy, Rasheed Wallace, and Mourning, who played the best today, on the court.

Kwame Brown was put on the bench at a critical moment and was a little depressed, but the biggest takeaway from his two-year Wizards career was that he was "good at waiting", and he honestly sat on the bench to watch Mourning's play.

Mourning has 8 points, 9 rebounds and 4 blocks today, and he has contributed a lot to the third energy saving to limit Bosh.

The Pistons, for their part, continued to field the starting lineup, with Billups, Hamilton, Delfino, Bosh and Ben Wallace continuing to play.

The fourth quarter began, with the Hawks taking the lead.

Jason Terry came up and singled Delfino and relied on his speed to break through to the three-point line, forcing the Pistons to make up defense.

At this time, Liu Mang and Maddie ran to the left three-point line as fast as possible after blocking and dismantling in the high position, Jason Terry immediately crossed over, received a pass from Jason Terry, and Liu Mang received the ball and shot three points!

"Ding...... Quick Shot Master Level 5 trigger, this shot ignores running interference......"

When Liu Mang shot, the discomfort of shooting immediately after the speed of the 100-meter sprint disappeared, and the point guard hit the three-point shot steadily!

95-92, the Hawks continued to tie the score with the Pistons.

41 points! As soon as Liu Mang came up in the fourth quarter, he scored three points and won the sixth playoff game of his career 40+!

However, then it came to the Pistons offense, and Billups came up and scored another three-pointer, bringing his personal score to 29 points!

The Pistons began to launch a ferocious counterattack, which was Lang!

The key is that the Pistons' shooting is really accurate today, Hamilton and Billups combined for 57 points in the third quarter, and Liu Mang and Maddy combined for only 56 points!

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the two continued today's good hand and scored consecutive points.

Liu Mang, Jason Terry, and Maddy worked together to fight against the Pistons' ferocious and abnormal offensive performance today, because they didn't expect the opponent's tactics to change so much, Rao is Mike Woodson, who is regarded as the league's best defensive assistant coach, can't think of a good solution, so he can only hold on.

In fact, at this time, the physical fitness gap between the two teams has begun to show, not that the physical fitness of the Pistons team has begun to decline at this time, but that Coach Sanders has to start fighting! The extreme change in the style of play shows the fact that the physical fitness of the Pistons is like that of the Hawks!

It's not that the Pistons players can't start and play the whole game, but this is a series! Pull a whole body! Exhausted from the first game, that's okay.

Therefore, the Pistons played a wave of onslaught in the fourth quarter, and the defensive end became much simpler, and the two teams scored back and forth to lead.

In the sixth minute of the fourth quarter, the Hawks led the Pistons by 1 point 104-103, and seeing that it was about to enter the official timeout, Coach Krueger waited for the Pistons to call a timeout, but he didn't expect that at this time, Billups went crazy!

Billups continued to face Liu Mang's defense and forced two three-pointers!

It's not that Liu Mang didn't defend well, but Billups Leng just wasted two three-pointers when he was stuck to death and had no rhythm, and he personally played a wave of 6-0, and the Pistons won 109-104, and suddenly opened the difference to the largest 5-point difference in the game!

Coach Kruger hurriedly called a timeout, but he didn't expect that they were beaten to a timeout at this time!

Liu Mang watched that he had more than 5 minutes left in the game and had 46 points, but Billups actually caught up, surpassing Hamilton's 37 points and scoring 40 points, 14 points in the first quarter of Billups, more fierce than his 8 points in the first half of the quarter!

……

"Don't rush! Don't panic! Coach Krueger said loudly, the scene was too noisy, just because after Billups made the first three-pointer, Jason Terry rushed to shoot a three-pointer, this guy was on time, and he was also pitted when he pitted, giving the other party a chance to open up to a 5-point difference.

Coach Kruger looked at the players and decided to let the unconscious kid solve the problem: "Ace, go up, throw the ball in!" ”

Liu Mang was thinking about how to defend against Billups, when he suddenly heard such a simple and crude tactical arrangement, he was stunned, but he also figured it out.

The opponent is attacking and playing violently today, why don't you just go back on your side?

Coach Kruger's simple and direct tactical arrangement also stunned the other players, the opponent is leading by 5 points, and his own side is still wavering?

Even the old players are suspicious, is the Pistons really that strong? Can you beat them to this? Although they pay lip service to the Pistons, the time and concentration of preparation for this series are no worse than those of the Pistons!

Are the Pistons really going to rise?

The reason why Coach Sanders wanted to win the first game was to completely establish their psychological advantage and make the Eagles doubt themselves.

Seeing that his teammates were a little confused by Billups's two three-pointers, and obviously felt that the morale of his teammates was a little depressed, Liu Mang clapped his hands and attracted the attention of his teammates.

Seeing his teammates looking at him, Liu Mang's power turned on: "Okay, it's time to win, have you forgotten that you have the strongest scorer who is invincible and has no friends?" ”

Liu Mang's voice seemed to have magical power, and it amused his teammates all of a sudden, you pretended to be so forced, you deserve to have no friends!
