Chapter Ninety-Nine: Tie

G3 battle begins.

The 76ers opened the cracks.

The 76ers are a slow-heating team, basically every game, the start is average, but the more you play in the back, the better the performance.

This perfect start is really amazing.

11 to 3.

The 76ers feel a little bit like the Pistons last game.

Pistons fans are going crazy.

Originally, I thought that the Eastern Conference Finals would meet the new 76ers and it would be an easy series.

I didn't expect the 76ers to be so difficult, and it was okay to beat the Pistons in the first game, and now I am back at home, and I feel hot.

Wang didn't expect the players to open tomorrow, Iverson, Korver and even Iguodala, all scored.

The pre-match set-up didn't expect the players to feel good.

It was an absolute bonus, as the Pistons were forced to expand their defense and lower their grip on Iverson.

As a result, Iverson got more room to shoot, dazzling the butterflies through the flowers, and fired continuously from medium and long range, and soon led the 76ers to 29-16 and played the best first quarter of this series for the 76ers.

Sanders' face was pale, and the thunder was furious.

"Aside from Iverson, you look at who's on the other side of the audience who has played in the Eastern Conference Finals, and what about you? You've played twice in the finals, but you lost to a group of young people who haven't even touched the floor of the finals? I'm really ashamed of you! ”

Rasheed Wallace muttered to himself, "What, can't you get the young man who is only in his first year as a head coach?" ”

Not all players are as heartless as Rashid, and the rest of the Pistons players are silent.

Their away game turned out to be even more difficult than the 76ers.

On the other hand, Wang Tomorrow is telling his disciples to remind,

"You have to watch out for the Pistons' counterattack, they definitely don't leave room for more than 10 points into the second half."

Second quarter game.

The Pistons fought back strongly.

Accustomed to the scale of away penalties, the old clubs touched the edge of being blown or not, and then relied on their preferred physical confrontation.

It just so happened that the 76ers' shooting percentage from the middle and long range was declining.

The Pistons fought to catch up, relying on Rashid Wallace's excellent performance of 10 points in a single quarter, and before halftime, chased the score to 41-49, trailing the 76ers by eight points.

Wang Tomorrow shook his head, the Pistons are indeed difficult.

If it is a knight who is so far behind, the first thing that comes to mind is definitely to strengthen the offense.

But the Pistons, however, gave full play to their characteristics as a strong defensive team, strengthened their defense at the first time, and slowly, little by little, eroded the leading advantage.

The so-called boxing is afraid of being less strong, and the same is true on the basketball court.

Wang Mingming's basketball philosophy.

When young people play ball, they should run, fly all kinds of air, and crush experience with talent.

Like the Pistons, who are known to be particularly strong defensively, Billups, Prince, and Rasheed Wallace, if they give up everything and use talent to attack, maybe the effect will be better.

Iverson has no problem and can still pick up points on the pitch.

Wang Mingming felt that the real problem was himself, he was not capable enough, he couldn't find a way to really defeat the Pistons, and even came up with it, only talent crushed such a move, he began to consider using a triangle attack.

"There's a forward organization, there's a shooting guard. Should have thought of it sooner! ”

But the players weren't ready!

The 76ers played a season of high-post pick-and-roll and small-ball tactics....... Suddenly change the tactical system, no matter how much you practice before the game, when you get to the field, the players may not really run out, and maybe they will string up the wrong tactics.

This is also a pity in Wang Mingming's heart.

Now, the 76ers can only continue to follow the method of playing for a season and find a way to override the Pistons on the offensive end.

Wang Tomorrow can only borrow some triangle offensive tactics and use them in the game.

The first quarter worked well, but the second didn't.

The clock was fast into the third quarter.

The pistons played high and low.

Hamilton scored back-to-back points as the Pistons tied the score at the end of the third quarter.

The two sides reached a stalemate again, with the score alternating leads.

Iverson scored 27 points, which can be described as an excellent performance, but there is still a certain distance from the supergod, and Wang will not see his explosiveness tomorrow.

"It's alright, Aaron."

Wang patted Iverson on the shoulder tomorrow and communicated with him before he came on the court in the fourth quarter.

"Coach, I want to stay on the pitch, this game is too crucial and we have to win it."

Iverson took the initiative to ask for help, and under Wang Mingming's hand, his playing time was reduced to the beginning of the 3, but he himself was used to the feeling of running all over the court, and he could give everything for the sake of victory.

"Okay, but one thing, you have to trust your teammates more, manage our 76ers' overall offense, learn to read the Pistons' defense on the court, and find ways to beat the Pistons with a more reasonable offense."

"I will." Iverson wiped the sweat from his face, his gaze determined.

The main force of the pistons, the industry hardly rested.

The trio of Billups, Hamilton and Prince all played more than 40 minutes.

The two sides have entered the stage of hand-to-hand combat with bayonets.

The competition of willpower is more important than technique and tactics.

Wang will stand on the sidelines tomorrow and watch the game, and as the head coach, he has that right.

In the final quarter of the game, the ratings rose to a new high.

With the excitement of the first two games, the G3 game came to Philadelphia, and the 76ers vs. Pistons in the United States surpassed the Rockets vs. Spurs held in the West at the same time.

After all, the latter looks like the Texas Civil War no matter how you look at it.

Philadelphia has gained a new group of fans, and it's not just about Allen Iverson.

.......

When playing away, the two teams are inseparable.

In the home game, the two teams are still indistinguishable, and it is difficult for anyone to say clearly about the absolute strength of the field, the winner or the loser.

ESPN didn't dare to comment on Wang Mingming, for fear of hitting himself in the face, it had already hurt enough before.

So he jumped out and attacked the pistons.

"What a stupid operation to let go of Ben Wallace, the team's super center, in the summer because of millions!"

"If Ben Wallace were still in the Pistons, the Pistons wouldn't have to worry about the rim at all, and even the level of the defense would have been greatly improved. But now, even if you win the 76ers, what's the use, in the finals, neither of the two teams in the West, the Pistons, can beat any of them. ”

"Now with the 76ers, who are sixth in the East, the Pistons management has a lot of responsibility."

The Pistons passed the first and second rounds, but they didn't expect to reach the Eastern Conference Finals and be criticized.

It's good to pick up a Chris Webber for nothing, otherwise you might have gone back fishing.

Regardless, the tactical execution shown by both teams in the playoffs has become a textbook template for many NBA teams to learn from.
