At the end of the first half, fans in the league's First Center Arena couldn't believe the numbers on the scoreboard, with the Pistons leading the 76ers by 11 points, 52-41. Of course, the 76ers didn't try to fall behind at halftime, and trailing by 11 points was just a piece of cake, but what really surprised them was that the team only scored 41 points.

Of course, the head coach Els didn't believe his eyes even more, and his hands were trembling slightly with the statistics, which was completely frightened. In the first half, other people's performances were decent, but Iverson's statistics were a bit spicy, the team's number one star, the Finals MVP only hit 3 goals in 18 crazy shots in the first half, and the score did not reach double digits, while only sending 2 assists, you must know that his average data per game this season is 26+7!

At that moment, Ells did have the idea of pressing Iverson to the bench, but he suddenly thought of what happened to Brown, if he lowered Iverson's ball possession, would he also be fired by the 76ers like his predecessor? Els didn't dare to bet, he thought about it for a long time, and finally only let a long sigh, and continue to let Iverson start the game in the second half!

Brown certainly wouldn't have thought that Els would be so stubborn, his mind was now all on Prince, and when the whistle blew at the end of the first half, he walked into the tunnel and hurried to the visiting locker room, with the rest of the Pistons scrambling to follow, for whom teammates were even more important than the outcome of the game.

To everyone's delight, when they pushed open the door to the locker room, Prince greeted them on the physiotherapy bed, a small piece of white gauze above his left eye was very conspicuous, his face was a little pale, but he was still in good spirits. Brown nodded in satisfaction and asked Thomson, who was packing up his things, "Can TayXia continue to play in the second half?" Judging by his current situation, there doesn't seem to be any symptoms of a concussion, which is good news for the team. ”

Thomson gave Prince an admiring look and said, "He can go on the pitch but from a doctor's point of view, I think he needs a proper rest, if the team has a big advantage......

Before Thomson could finish speaking, Prince interrupted him and said categorically: "Coach, I can continue to play in the second half, rest or something until the game is over, I hope to help the team beat the opponent." ”

Brown shrugged: "Now that the team has regained the lead, since you want to play, let's play!" Bobby is a good wing player, but he's worse than you on the defensive end, and the team's defensive system needs you! Simmons blinked innocently, but he was convinced by Prince's defense.

While Els wasn't a good coach, Brown still had to prevent him from having a flash in the second half, and a top team like the 76ers wasn't a good fit to work on the team's offensive firepower. After a moment's thought, he said, "I was very happy with everyone's defense in the first half, and it was because of your defensive team that I was able to take the lead. But the 76ers are a very offensive team, and I ask you to focus on defense first in the second half and then think about offense when you limit them. ”

The old coach's instructions made Chang Wei next to him smile helplessly, that is, this Pistons did not question his instructions to strengthen defense, and the 76ers would have exploded long ago. Basketball is a sport that comes down to putting the ball in the basket more than anyone else, so the vast majority of players have a heart for scoring when they start participating in the sport, but now these Pistons players put scoring on the back burner, which is not easy for basketball players.

At the beginning of the second half, Iverson looked at Prince, who was standing in front of him expressionlessly, his eyes straightened, he didn't expect this rookie to dare to defend himself after treatment. To his surprise, Prince's eyes were like a pool of water, only calm but not angry, and Iverson, who had always been unruly, began to be a little frightened in his heart.

For an offensive player, having fear in his heart means that he has lost his courage, which can greatly affect his scoring efficiency. Now Iverson is intimidated by Prince's momentum, even if he simply stands in front of him with his center of gravity down, Iverson has the illusion that he can't get past his defense, which is very rare for him.

Els' gamble to continue his winning hopes on Iverson was met head-on from the start, with Prince making two consecutive steals to help extend the lead further. Although Els quickly replaced Iverson with Snow, now that the Pistons' momentum has risen, Snow can't save his teammates who have been defended to the point of losing confidence.

Throughout the third quarter, the 76ers were shrouded in the Pistons' tight defense, shooting only 35.2% from the field and 27.4% from three-point range in a single quarter, and everyone combined for only 15 points. The 15 points was their lowest single-quarter score in recent seasons, and it was a shame for the 76ers management in the box that caused all of this because they abandoned head coach Brown, and even if they regret it now, the reality will never be repeated.

Compared to the 76ers, the Pistons' defense is eye-catching. They still don't have any operations that look extremely gorgeous, just simple blocking, covering, running, shooting, and actually scored 31 points in a single quarter, which is also a big encouragement for them. In the final quarter, the Pistons continued to work hard, forcing Els to switch to the main lineup early with more than 6 minutes left in the game, and the 76ers' total score was just over 80 points.

The home team's poor performance made it a little difficult for 76ers fans to look at it directly, and there were large empty seats in the audience before the game was over, and they chose to leave the court early, not wanting to see the 76ers being completely restricted by the other side. In the end, the 76ers set a humiliating record for the lowest single-game scoring record in the last three seasons on their home court, scoring only 87 points under the Pistons' tight defense, while also allowing the Pistons, who are not good at offense, to score 105 points in one fell swoop.

Of course, the most aggrieved player in the game was undoubtedly Iverson, who didn't play at a normal level under Prince's defense, and only scored a pitiful 13 points on 30 shots, with an outrageously low shooting percentage. However, his dismal data also allowed Chang Wei to successfully complete the task of the system, and the prop of "Cardinal's Tactical Board" was firmly in his bag.
