The first game of the victory over the Pacers was a cheer for the entire Pistons, and while that doesn't mean they can win the series 100 percent, it still has a big morale boost. However, under Brown's suppression, everyone quickly put away their excitement and began to prepare for the next game, and now they are far from saying that they will definitely win the second game.

Before Game 2, Chang Wei was undoubtedly the busiest member of the coaching staff, watching and analyzing the Pacers' game footage with other assistant coaches, as well as keeping an eye on the players' recovery work. Maybe some coaches will let the players rest more at this time, but Chang Wei never cares about this, he believes that the Pistons players can hold up.

But there are many things that are unpredictable during the game, such as the sudden coldness of the hand......

As soon as the second game began, Brown was so scorched that he couldn't believe that this group of guys who were playing crazy on the field were his players. With the exception of Thomas and Big Ben, who each scored two points on a second offense after grabbing a rebound, the rest of the Pistons shot 0-of-6 from the field in 5:41 and were given a 16-4 run by the Pacers.

In the last game, the Pistons shot 47.1% from the field, which is already a pretty good statistic in the playoffs. Chang Wei also felt a little helpless, on the morning of the game, everyone was able to maintain a fairly high shooting rate during training, and most of the day passed and they directly became weak chickens? It doesn't make sense! But this kind of unreasonable thing often happens on the basketball court.

In addition to poor shooting, the Pistons' limited offense was largely due to the Pacers' good outside defense in this game, and Carlisle even pressed Miller to the bench in order to ensure defensive intensity, just to avoid him being physically exhausted again. Originally, the Pistons' shooting feel was very average, and the breakthrough ability of their players on the court was quite average, so they naturally couldn't come to the basket to score, let alone attract defenses and open up space for teammates.

As a last resort, Brown replaced Hamilton with Wade, and his purpose was clear, which was to strengthen his ability to break through. As the strongest catch-and-shoot player in the league, Hamilton's hand in this game was very average, and he has not scored until now, and he has been covered by the opponent once. He felt a little helpless about Brown's decision, but it was indeed because he did not play his due role in the game, and the coach wanted to improve his offensive ability, and it was also his duty to replace him with Wade.

Wade can be said to be a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, although he has been tempered by 90 official games, but the bravery and arrogance in his bones have not faded. After coming on the court, he naturally took over the offensive banner of the Pistons, and made consecutive breakthroughs and layups to help the Pistons solve their urgent needs. The rest of the Pistons, led by Wade, began to slowly recover, but they still trailed by a full 10 points at 25-35 at the end of the first quarter, which made Brown's face look like it was going to rain.

To be on the safe side, Brown didn't replace Wade in the second quarter, but let him continue to lead the bench lineup on the court. However, today's main hand seems to have been contagious to the bench, Crawford also missed consecutive shots, but fortunately, there was still Haywood under the basket and the opponent to fight for offensive rebounds. Dio has consciously turned into a high-pitch playmaker after missing two shots, hoping to help the team in another way.

This made Brown feel very helpless, and he turned his head and asked, "Chang, why do you say that in some games, players suddenly feel nothing?" They didn't encounter any strict defenses! It made me feel like all the previous shooting drills were in vain. ”

Chang Wei smiled and said: "Coach, many things on the field cannot be explained by science, which is why a strong team is not 100% able to defeat a weak team in a certain game. And now our situation is not as bad as we thought, with Dwayne's breakthrough, at least we can continue to increase our points, but it is not as smooth as before......"

Seeing that Brown still looked worried, Chang Wei's expression became serious, he was silent for a while, and whispered: "Dwayne is a rookie I am optimistic about, I believe in his strength, if you give him unlimited firing rights, I think he can make more contributions." Brown nodded, stood up and walked to the sideline, muttered a few words to Wade who ran over, and patted him on the shoulder before sitting back in his seat and saying, "Let's hope he won't let us down......"

Brown's instruction to Wade was simple: he was to take over the offense completely, and the others were responsible for helping him pull the space. Such instructions undoubtedly freed Wade, who made consecutive shots inside and out, helping the Pistons to close the score little by little. Looking at his galloping on the court, Chang Wei felt very relieved, although with Wade's current strength and experience, it is difficult to replicate his amazing performance when he won the championship for the first time in his previous life, but this sharp sword is slowly blooming with dazzling light. Of course, it is important that Brown accepted Chang Wei's suggestion, otherwise he doesn't like to use rookies, and he doesn't know when Wade will come out.

Wade didn't get off the rest in the entire second quarter, and he scored 14 points and five assists in a single quarter, helping the Pistons close the gap to three points at halftime, which was almost negligible. His outstanding performance also boosted the morale of the Pistons, and Brown smiled from ear to ear, which can be regarded as saving the whole team, Brown can't imagine if the Pacers continue to expand the score, the Pistons can still hold their home court, fortunately he still has Wade.

Despite this, Brown has no intention of replacing Hamilton as the team's starting point guard for the time being. In his opinion, Hamilton is a system player who can play an important role in the Pistons' tactical system, and Wade can score on his own, and he is better suited to shoot recklessly in rotation time, which will not destroy the chemistry that the team has built. But if Chang Wei is asked, he definitely supports Wade to become the new core player of the Pistons, his ability and potential are enough for him to sit in this position, but if it is just as a super sixth man, as long as Wade has no opinion, then no problem, anyway, he is still very young and has a long career, who knows what will happen in the future?
