After getting the "Cardinal's Tactical Board", Chang Wei did not use this prop immediately, but carefully began to read the description of the prop. Sure enough, the +2 Defensive Rating for all players is accompanied by the head coach, which means that if it is used by Brown and he switches jobs to coach other teams, then the +2 buff of all Pistons players will disappear directly. However, a 30% increase in defensive training effect can only be used for one season, and even if Brown leaves in the future, there will be no second time.

For Chang Wei, the most critical question is, do you need to use this prop for Brown now?

In all fairness, the Pistons have every chance to win the championship this season, and the reason why they had to wait until the 03-04 season in their previous life was largely because they needed to join Roar Tianzun. But now that Thomas is on the team, he can take the place of Rasheed Wallace, which means that the Pistons can now be compared to the championship team in the previous game.

But now that the season has been going on for a while, it seems a bit of a disadvantage to increase the effectiveness of defensive training by 30% and now that it is only used now, and Chang Wei is full of confidence in the players, since they can beat the 76ers now, and let them train step by step for a while, maybe they can also beat other top teams? This effect looks a bit frivolous.

After pondering for a long time, Chang Wei finally decided to use this prop for Brown, even if the Pistons can't win the championship this season, their growth in defense will not regress, and they will only get stronger next season. If the team needs to continue to add players at that time, it is not too late to develop a targeted training plan for them, they just need not to lag behind.

At present, Chang Wei's system has not opened the section about the head coach, so after using the "Cardinal's Tactical Board", there is no other movement except for the system prompting that the props have been used successfully. But it couldn't help but be difficult for Chang Wei, who opened the Pistons players' dashboard one by one, and couldn't help but laugh when he saw that everyone's defensive rating had a +2 behind it.

I wonder how the Pistons will perform next time they face the top teams in the league? Everyone's defensive ability +2 means that the team's overall level has improved by more than one notch, and it seems that the Pistons should maintain a relatively high win rate for the rest of the season, and it may not be impossible to beat the 76ers to rank first in the East by the end of the regular season.

All of the Pistons players didn't know that Chang Wei used such a prop, but they all found it easier for them to understand the head coach's layout during defensive training, and they were able to run naturally to the right position on the court. The shift surprised Brown, who seemed to have even more confidence in his defensive philosophy.

After beating the 76ers, the Pistons didn't make it back to Detroit, and it was just the beginning of a seven-game losing streak. What makes Brown feel the pressure is that the remaining six away Pistons opponents are not good at stubble, including even the Spurs, Suns, Nets, Raptors and other teams that are temporarily ranked in the top eight in the East and West, but Chang Wei is most interested in the game on December 21, when they will travel to Houston against the Rockets, when he can go to the greatest Chinese star Yao Ming first.

However, the game against the Rockets was their penultimate game in a seven-game losing streak, and the Pistons had to play against tough opponents before that. In the face of such a schedule, Chang Wei can only scold the official staff of the league who is responsible for arranging the schedule, how can there be such a strange 7 consecutive guests? It's okay to play away games in a row, it's good to give us a few weak teams, most of them are strong teams, wouldn't it be tiring?

Complaining is complaining, and the whole Pistons team still has to keep running from city to city. After leaving Philadelphia, they made a detour to Toronto to face the Raptors led by the twin stars of Maddie and Carter. After another season, the pair grew sharper, with Hamilton and Prince feeling the pressure as they faced each other. Prince was still relatively superior, with Maddy shooting only 42.1% from the field and only 18 points and 6 rebounds under his defense, although Carter had a quasi-triple-double of 29 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists, the Raptors were still killed by Billups 1.2 seconds before the end, and had to swallow the bitter fruit of defeat at home, and the gap between them and the Pistons also narrowed to 2 wins.

Back-to-back wins over the top two in the East gave the Pistons plenty of confidence, but they suffered a blow in New York, and Kidd's Nets played with ease under their defense. In fact, the most important thing is Kidd, the Pistons' defense can't limit his whimsical passing at all, often blocking this side, but the opponent scores in another position. In the end, the Pistons lost 97-105, and this game also made them realize that their defense is not invulnerable.

But the defeat didn't end there, and the Pistons suffered another defeat in San Antonio, and this time they beat them in the way they do best. Under the skillful defense of the Spurs, only Hamilton and Thomas scored double-doubles in the whole game, and the others had the highest 9 points for Billups, and the team only scored a measly 72 points in total, shooting less than 40% from the field. Although the Spurs only scored 85 points, they won the defensive battle.

In fact, many fans left the stadium halfway through the game, of course, not because the home team was ahead or behind too much, but mainly because this game full of muscle battles, rebounding and passing errors was really not interesting. Chang Wei was also a little drowsy watching on the sidelines, he finally understood why the ratings of the finals of the Spurs and Pistons in his previous life would hit a record low, if he played like this every game, it is estimated that few fans would have the patience to stay in front of the TV all the time.

Despite a two-game losing streak, those two defeats were valuable for the Pistons players. Against the Nets, they knew they had a lot of room for improvement defensively, while against the Spurs gave them a general impression of the level of top-level defense. Needless to say, every player is starting to spend more energy and time in defensive drills, and they know that their offense can't be up to the top level in the league, so let defense be every opponent's nightmare!

The Suns were sadly the target of the Pistons' flag, and although they had a starting lineup of Marbury, Hardaway, Smalls and Marion, and also scored 101 points against the Pistons, their shooting percentage was a dismal 32.1 percent, and their high scoring was all due to more shots.

Piston? Sorry, the Suns' defense couldn't limit them at all, and they scored a season-high 110 points with five players in double figures, and it seems that hard training is still working, as evidenced by this game.
