In the first three minutes, the Bobcats and Pistons were tied at 9-8, and the Pistons even led by one point.

Qiao Hai on the sidelines frowned, and there were Erwin Gentry and Tang Yi standing beside him, and then, they saw Qiao Hai stretch out his hand to make a pause gesture, and directly called a timeout.

Gentry and Tang Yi looked surprised, Qiao Hai turned his head and directly called Danny Granger's name: "Danny, get ready to play." ”

Turning his head again, Qiao Hai shrugged his shoulders to his assistants and expressed helplessness: "No way, even if the opening plan fails, we have to continue, so it's time to make adjustments." ”

At the beginning, Qiao Hai had already said that he would give the regular lineup on the field three minutes to open up his attack.

But the Bobcats' opening offense was very average, and he didn't succeed in opening the offense as Qiao Hai imagined, but even so, Qiao Hai still decided to implement the next series of plans, so he called a timeout in the opening three minutes according to the original plan.

Then, he made a substitution, but this substitution had already changed Qiao Hai's original plan.

Originally, his plan was to bring on Gerard Wallace after three minutes in the first quarter, with the aim of strengthening the defense, and then taking the lead through a wave of rhythm change through the offense that had already opened up, as well as a sudden increase in defensive intensity.

But now, Qiao Hai had to make a compromise.

He chose to replace Danny Granger first to strengthen the Bobcats' offense, and of course, to a certain extent, he also sacrificed the defensive intensity that Qiao Hai had originally planned.

But there is no way, Qiao Hai can only change like this, his goal is to take the lead in the first quarter, if there is no offense, then there is no lead at all.

……

After the substitution, the Bobcats' offensive and defensive intensity has been improved by a level, and on the offensive end, with a three-point threat on both sides, it is impossible for the Pistons to completely cut the Bobcats' strong side offense.

On the defensive end, the Bobcats' infinite rotation of defense, and the three-man cooperation of Steve Francis, Richard Hamilton and Rasheed Wallace on the outside completely can't tear up the space.

The Pistons were limited by the Bobcats both offensively and defensively, and at the end of the first quarter, the Bobcats overtook the score and took a five-point lead at 25:20.

Qiao Hai's plan was successful, and although the 5-point advantage was not big, it was already a good start.

On the commentary seat, Charles Barkley squinted his eyes, he couldn't figure it out at first that Qiao Hai would go to five small in three minutes, but later, five small won the advantage on the field, and Barkley found out that maybe five small is Qiao Hai's real hole card.

The only question is: "The Bobcats' five-small lineup proved ineffective against the Pistons in the regular season because the Pistons' two interior lines could keep up with the speed of the five-small, but now, the Bobcats have an advantage in the playoffs against the Pistons with the help of the five-small, so what kind of changes have they made?" ”

Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith are not quite visible, and McBrin is also completely clueless.

……

In the second quarter, Johi used another regular lineup as a transition, with Perkins re-entering the field, and the outside four were Williams, Michael Reed, Danny Granger and Gerard Wallace.

But the lineup only played just over three minutes, and the Bobcats maintained a five-point lead.

When the Pistons showed signs of regaining the tempo, Qiao Hai called an early timeout again, replaced Perkins with Josh Smith, and put on a five-small lineup.

Then, the plot was the same as in the first quarter, with the Bobcats completely exploding on the defensive end in the second half of the quarter, and the rotating lineup of the defending Pistons was completely unable to score.

In this quarter, the Pistons only scored 16 points in a single quarter, and of course, the Bobcats did not score high in this quarter, scoring only 22 points, because Qiao Hai's lineup on the court was more defensive.

At the end of the second quarter, the Bobcats led the Pistons by 11 points at 47-36 at halftime.

Kenny Smith on the commentary bench immediately thought of the second game between the Bobcats and the Pistons: "This score reminds me of the second game of the Eastern Conference finals, and in that game, the Bobcats also led the Pistons by 11 points at halftime. ”

McBryn, who has always had a good memory, immediately thought about that game and a little different: "Yes, it was the same 11-point lead at halftime, but it was different. ”

"It was the Bobcats' home game, and they had home field advantage and were able to take a double-digit lead, which was surprising but not surprising, but it was amazing, surprising and strange in this game."

"The away Bobcats have never been able to take advantage of this big advantage, so why is this game going on?"

Charles Barkley watched the entire half, especially in the second quarter, Qiao Hai's five-small lineup, which made him think for a long time, and after McBrin and Kenny Smith finished discussing, he had already found the reason why the Bobcats led by 11 points at halftime.

"I've found Qiao Hai's hole cards!" McBrin and Kenny Smith immediately turned their heads to look at Barkley, and Sir Bar took a half-game technical stat and said directly: "Qiao Hai's hole card is his five-small lineup." ”

"But the five-small lineup has been proven to have little effect in the regular season, and in the playoffs against the Pistons, Qiao Hai even abandoned the five-small lineup for a time." Kenny Smith questioned.

Barkley shook his head: "No, Kenny, Qiao Hai's five-small lineup in this game is different. ”

"Not quite the same?"

"That's right, we all think that the focus of the five-small lineup is attack, but in fact, in this game, the Bobcats' five-small lineup is mainly used to defend!"

Charles Barkley is very sure: "Qiao Hai is not going to use this set of five small to open the offense, but to use this set of five small to prevent the attack of the Pistons." ”

Kenny Smith was stunned: "If that's the case, then Qiao Hai has succeeded." ”

McBlin nodded: "That's right, the Pistons only scored 36 points in the half, the Bobcats' defense is too strong, it seems that the five small players are indeed on the court for defense, not offense." ”

……

The three people on the commentary bench realized it later, and in the home team's locker room, Larry Brown had already seen through Qiao Hai's intentions.

But even if he has already seen through it, Larry Brown still can't do anything, because Qiao Hai played a completely unsolvable card, the Pistons' offense was already bad, Ben had almost no offense in the starter, and James Posey only had the ability to shoot the ball in the bottom corner.

Basically, the Piston's offense is a three-person cooperation, and the three-person cooperation of the Bobcat's five small wants to prevent the death of the Pistons, which is too simple and too easy!

In the second half, the Pistons could only break the kettle and replace Carlos Delfino and Morris Evans to strengthen the offense, but such adjustments were only a drop in the bucket.

In the third quarter, the Pistons played an excellent offense and pulled back a two-point difference, but in the fourth quarter, the Bobcats' defense broke out again, and they only scored 17 points against the Pistons.

He led the Pistons by 19 points before the end and won the sixth game directly!
