"Can you get in?" In the cheers of the audience, after watching the basketball thrown by Chauncey Billups fall into the net, Meng Xu turned his head and glanced at Chauncy Billups who had begun to retreat, in this defense just now, Meng Xu did not have any misposition, nor did he show the slightest flaw, and he covered Chauncey Billups to death throughout the whole process, but even so, Chauncy Billups still threw the basketball very resolutely, and also threw it in.

Billups's goal just now reminded Meng Xu of the Lakers' Kobe Bryant, this kind of offensive method regardless of whether there is a chance or not, and no matter who the defender in front of him is, is Kobe Bryant's favorite offensive method, basically every time Meng Xu and Kobe Bryant have a duel, as long as Meng Xu defends Kobe, Kobe will ignore Meng Xu's performance of various difficult shots, so when Billups leaned back to almost the limit under Meng Xu's almost tight defense before throwing the basketball in his hand, Meng Xu immediately thought of Kobe Bryant.

"Chaunse, well done." When Billups slowly retreated, Richard Hamilton, who was closest to him, stretched out his palm and high-fived him to celebrate, Billups's shot just now was undoubtedly very morale-boosting, this three-point shot, compared to a dunk, is not inferior, and the Pistons, who are in adversity, are in great need of this kind of offense that can boost the morale of the whole team.

"Richard, we can't afford to lose this game today no matter what." After high-fives with Richard Hamilton, Chauncey Billups and Richard Hamilton encouraged each other, and perhaps in Billups's opinion, only Hamilton could help him now.

In the first two games of the series, Meng Xu scored 60 points in one game and 52 points in one game, so in the third game of the series, Philip Saunders arranged Hamilton to defend Meng Xu, and at the same time let Billups cooperate with the bag, although the Pistons still lost that game, Meng Xu almost cut the double 20 data, but on the whole, Hamilton and Billups' defense of Meng Xu is still remarkable, At least it's a lot stronger than Peja Stojakovic, but I don't know what kind of considerations head coach Philip Saunders has, today let Peja Stojakovic defend Meng Xu, watching Meng Xu's rising score, Hamilton is also anxious, so after communicating with Billups, Hamilton decided to take on the task of defending Meng Xu again.

Hamilton's physical fitness is not as good as Meng Xu, and compared with Peja Stojakovic, it is also half a pound to eight taels, but Hamilton's defensive awareness and defensive experience far surpass Peja Stojakovic, coupled with his tireless running and attitude of not knowing what to give up, making Hamilton's defense not to be the top in the league, but also above the first-class level.

Hamilton is very familiar with Meng Xu, and Meng Xu is also very familiar with Hamilton, so when Meng Xu holds the ball on the offensive end, Hamilton tries his best to entangle with Meng Xu, Hamilton knows that even if he is working hard, it is impossible to completely block Meng Xu, so when Hamilton defends Meng Xu, he always pays attention to the weak side, even if he must leave a gap, he must leave the gap to the side where his teammates can make up for him.

This time the attack was like this, Hamilton just blocked Meng Xu's route to the left side of the court, but behind Hamilton's excellent prediction, it was to completely abandon the defense on the right side, so Meng Xu took this opportunity to break through with a back turn to get rid of Hamilton's defense before Billups's replacement arrived.

After breaking through Hamilton's defense, Meng Xu directly crashed into Billups who rushed over to fill the position, and after Hamilton and Billups were broken through by Meng Xu one after another, Ben Wallace, who was originally entangled with NN Hilario on the edge of the paint area, quickly made up for Meng Xu, and at the same time, Rashid Wallace on the other side also began to retreat to the basket.

Facing Ben Wallace's block, Meng Xu made an emergency stop and turned around and shook Ben Wallace, while on the other side, Rashid Wallace had not yet retreated in place, and Meng Xu was already hanging on the basket.

The Auburn Hills Palace Arena, which was still shouting in unison for defense just now, was instantly silenced after Meng Xu had been violently deducted by several people, and the little momentum that had just been driven by Billups seemed to be suppressed by Meng Xu again.

"This is Meng Xu, this is the first person in the league, in today's game, it doesn't look easy for the Pistons to turn over."

From the beginning of the game, the Pacers led the Pistons in the score, not only that, but the Pacers also firmly controlled the situation on the court, the Pistons just had a little improvement, and they would be counterattacked immediately, this round just now is a microcosm of the whole game, although Billups scored 3 points, Meng Xu only returned a 2 points, the Pistons still took advantage, but in terms of momentum, the Pistons were still pressed by the Pacers, a game is not only about strength, luck and momentum, are all important factors that can affect the outcome of a game, the strength is not good, the momentum is still at a disadvantage, and there is basically no hope of winning.

65-58, at the end of the third quarter, the Pacers still maintained a 7-point lead on the road, and the head coach Philip Saunders, who was supposed to take the tactical board to arrange tactics and adjust the lineup, was standing on the sidelines at the moment, looking at the players who had been sitting on the bench without saying a word, Philip Saunders didn't know what to say, and he didn't know what to arrange, throughout the third quarter, these Pistons players on the court, especially the team's two guards, Completely ignoring the tactics and strategies he laid out at halftime.

"Let's keep up with the tactics and lineup for the third quarter." After being silent for a long time, seeing that the timeout was about to come, Philip Saunders said a sentence with great difficulty, the basic meaning of this sentence is that you can do whatever you want, and you don't listen to me anyway, so let you go.

Philip Saunders is now in a heavy mood, after leaving the Timberwolves who coached for 10 seasons, Philip Saunders took over the Pistons who reached the Finals last season, at the beginning of coaching the Pistons, Philip Saunders very much hoped to make a career in the Pistons, and the 58-24 record in the regular season also proved that Philip Saunders did a good job, and the excellent regular season record also allowed Philip Saunders to gain the trust of the team's management and most of the players.

But after entering the playoffs, Philip Saunders' life is not as good as day by day, the first round of the playoffs Pistons almost fell at the feet of the Cavaliers, and the second round of the playoffs will face the doom of being swept by the Pacers, which is undoubtedly unacceptable for the Pistons who aim to win the championship, it can be seen from the attitude of these players that they have lost their trust, what is the end of a head coach who has lost the trust of his players, Philip Saunders, who has been fired by the Timberwolves once, is very clear.
