Chapter 213: A suffocating defensive battle
The Bobcats relied on tacit cooperation and gave the Pistons a dismissal at the beginning. In the end, when the offensive round was about to take 24 seconds, Billups had no choice but to make a strong three-point shot from the back, and unsurprisingly hit the iron.
Changing the Bobcats to attack, Wade as soon as he got the ball was really like a civet running in the mountains of Charlotte. The change in pace is weird, Rao is Hamilton defensively good, but also a little unbearable.
Wade looked left and right, and the ball landed rhythmically with the swing of his body. The Bobcats players were of course on the move, but it was harder than the Pistons' offense, and none of their players were out of the open space.
Wade could only come by himself, shouted, leaned over, and rushed out with an acceleration. Hamilton was slow and slow, and when he saw that he was about to be thrown off completely, Rashid Wallace stepped forward in time to delay.
There were enemies in front and pursuers behind, Wade habitually glanced at Dazhi and found that he was also blocked by his Pistons teammates on the weak side.
2.11 meters Rasheed Wallace lay in front of 1.93 meters Wade, and Wade, who had no choice, could only go around in a circle and take the ball out of the three-point line.
As soon as he got out of the three-point line, Wade handed the ball to Alston on the other side. Breaking through on the court is the most physically demanding, Wade's continuous acceleration and deceleration are already a little out of breath, and Hu Qingniu stipulates that no player on the team can hold the ball for a long time without passing.
With less than ten seconds left for Alstom, Hu knew it was going to be difficult. Sure enough, although Alston was able to manage not to concede a goal under Billups' dead defense, he still couldn't find any chances. So, Alston also hit a shot to pay tribute to Billups' shot just now.
Greeting each other as soon as the game kicks off was expected by all the fans and expert media. They had come to enjoy this remarkable defensive battle.
However, imagination is beautiful, but reality is ......
At the end of the first quarter, the two sides combined for less than 40 points. Specifically, the Bobcats had 16 points and the Pistons had 18 points.
Gap time, Hu Qingniu looked at the statistics, okay, the Bobcat hit rate of 33%, and the Piston hit rate of 37%. Everyone is half a pound to eight taels, and no one is better than anyone else.
In the middle of the second quarter, in addition to the sound of shoes rubbing against the floor, the sound of a basketball hitting the hoop on the basketball court was the sound of a basketball hitting the hoop.
The dreary atmosphere on the pitch was drowsy, after all, a game and a half were played, and the two sides were still in their early 20s, without any beautiful cooperation. Almost every offense is interrupted by tough defense, and even the scores of the two teams are bumpy, and a large part of it is free throws.
Hu Qingniu doesn't like basketball with such a rhythm, and he also thinks it's too unwatching. But that doesn't stop him from changing the team's strategy, and the Bobcats have fewer tactical options than the Pistons. This is limited by the team's strongest point, the Twin Towers, and the Bobcats' roster is all about the Twin Towers.
Now is the time to be patient, old man Brown has been coaching for more than 20 years, of course, he is a patient person, I saw his old god sitting in his exclusive position, seemingly satisfied with the team's performance, and still nodding his head.
However, Hu Qingniu was very puzzled, are you sure that no one reminded the old man, because in Hu Qingniu's opinion, the old man seemed to be asleep.
The Bobcats sit on the fringes next to Hu Qingniu, and Salmmons and Bell are all on the sidelines, and they are also uncomfortable watching such an intermittent basketball game. As fringe players in the team, they are actually very comfortable and watch every game from the best position on the sidelines. But it's hard to see an ugly game like today, and it's really unpleasant.
At halftime, the score was fixed at 35:39.
In fact, a few minutes before the end of the game, many fans had already left the stadium first.
As the president of the NBA, Stern is a busy man, but today is the day of the Eastern Conference Finals, and although he was not physically present, he also watched the game on television.
When he finished reading the first section, his face was unhappy, and he suddenly became in a bad mood, and he took a bottle of whiskey from the refrigerator. Just when he was drinking with relish, the second quarter of the game began, and I saw the second half, especially the fans on the spot, start to leave the court frequently.
Seeing this, a fire of ignorance and karma rose in Stern's heart.
What kind of game is this, and what tactics are the two coaches, Larry Brown and Hu Qingniu, arranged. This kind of competition drove the audience away, and I worked hard to build a business empire league, but these coaches didn't know how to cherish the current situation at all. Now is a critical period for the globalization of the league, and 10 spectators in the field may be 1 million spectators in the world. “
The more Stern thought about it, the more he couldn't sit still, so he picked up the phone next to him, called his assistant, and went down with a series of instructions.
......
Of course, Hu Qingniu at the game site will definitely not be affected, this guy is still in the locker room to praise the players for their good performance in the first half, just like that.
However, high-intensity defense is not only a physical exertion, but also a test of the player's psychology, in fact, the players are also very tired of such tactics. You let a player fire indefinitely, and he will consciously grit his teeth and persist even if he is tired, because this is an opportunity to perform. But now Hu Qingniu has let the players only defend, and it is the maximum high-intensity defense. The players are tired faster in this state.
In the second half of the game, the tempo became slower as Hu Qing's beef eyes were visible. Alston began to drag his legs forward, everyone's running position was lazy, even Hamilton, who couldn't run, turned on the first gear mode, although he was still running, but the speed had dropped a lot.
The iron played more, and the two sides finally got through the game to the fourth quarter like grinding tofu.
At this time, there were fans who had just woken up and looked at the score, 45:46, why is it still in the second quarter, let's sleep again.
This snail battle lasted until the last minute, and the difference between the two sides was only 2 points. At this time, Mr. Brown, who seemed to have "slept for a long time", finally stood up and went to the sidelines to start directing.
At this time, Hu Qingniu, who yawned, also got up and stood on the sidelines, pretending to command, in fact, he didn't count what he said, and by this time, everyone was too tired to do anything. It's also unrealistic to say anything about speeding up and hitting a few. Hu Qingniu simply let them play on their own.
However, an accident occurred, and 30 seconds before the end, Anthony caught the ball outside the three-point line and hit an early shot. The difference came to 5 points, and after entering the fourth quarter, there was no such a big difference.
In the following games, Wade and Dazhi both tried to shoot three-pointers, but they were too anxious, and they all hit the iron.
In the final half minute, the two sides did not score a goal, and the score was fixed at 60:65, and the Pistons won the first game at home.
