The strength of the top four teams in the East and West this season is not weak, but the only team to take a 3-0 lead is the 76ers, their overall strength is still much stronger than the Nets, although none of the three consecutive wins are all-round crushing, but for them to win the game, the final point difference does not need to be too concerned.

Rao is so, and many experts say that the 76ers are not as dominant as last season, which also makes the 76ers players feel a lot of pressure. However, head coach Ford was calm in an interview, telling reporters: "People who say we don't have the power to dominate probably forget that we're 3-0 up now and probably sweep the opposition. Of course, we haven't won too many times every time, and the Nets are a very strong team, so I don't think we should be too us. ”

The speaker had no intention of listening, but after seeing the video of Ford's interview, Brown felt a little helpless. Although the West is also playing inextricably, it is still the top two Spurs and Kings who take the lead, and the Pistons are the only team that is ranked higher but behind their opponents.

Brown's mood also affected the Pistons' players, who were very slow to heat up in Game 4 and were quickly robbed by the Raptors from the start. The state of the players made Brown angry, he called the first timeout less than four minutes into the game, and the old coach did not set up any tactics, just scolded everyone with hatred.

In the face of Brown's rant, the Pistons players all had a look of shame on their faces, and their poor performance really needed to be criticized harshly. In the space of 3:47, they hit just one open goal and allowed their opponents to score 15 points, which was not the first time they started the game by double digits, but this time they were in average form.

The head coach's criticism seemed to have an effect, and once the game restarted, the Pistons went on an 8-0 run to chase the margin to single digits. In this 8-0 wave, everyone except Prince scored and showed their team spirit. However, Wilkens did not call a timeout, and he did not believe that the Pistons could continue the pursuit.

But Wilkens misguessed this time, and as Hamilton and Thomas hit back-to-back three-pointers, the Pistons quickly tied the score in two or three offensive rounds, forcing Wilkens to call a timeout. In an effort to regain the advantage, Wilkens asked others to cover for Maddie and Carter, believing the duo could lead the team to victory.

However, the Raptors did not spend much energy on the defensive end while improving their offensive firepower, which also made them unable to pull the score away. So it makes sense that defensive teams are more advantageous in the playoffs, and teams with a balanced offense and defense are more popular because they can limit your offense without delaying yourself from scoring on the offensive end.

At the end of the first quarter, the two sides unsurprisingly tied the score at 32, which was acceptable for both the Pistons and the Raptors. Although the fans in the stadium were not satisfied with the Raptors' failure to gain an advantage, they also knew that the Raptors had done a good job and did not score more than their opponents because they were not very good at defense.

Surprisingly, the two sides were also inextricably contested in the second quarter, and every time one side played a small high, the other side always returned the favor, and neither of them wanted to lose the game. For the higher-ranked Pistons, 1-2 is shameful enough, and 1-3 doesn't once again slap the face in the face? The Raptors, on the other hand, want to get a match point, which is a good way for them to boost their morale, and they never think they are worse than other teams.

The result was that the Raptors only led by two points at halftime, and they relied on Carter's late whistle shot, otherwise the two sides would have been on the same starting line at the start of the second half.

After Brown and Wilkens battled at halftime, the battle broke out again in the third quarter. The Pistons had no awareness of playing away at all, and they quickly sacrificed an extremely physically demanding full-court press, caught the Raptors off guard, and after three consecutive turnovers, the Pistons relied on counterattacking layups to directly overtake the score.

The Raptors players reacted quickly after a brief period of confusion, and Maddy took the lead to score back-to-back points, creating plenty of opportunities for his teammates while attracting the defense. The two sides played almost in a hurry, often Maddie hit a three-pointer on this side, and Hamilton responded with a mid-range shot, and each wanted to suppress the other on the court. Probably the only ones who benefit are the fans, so the game can be quite exciting.

However, what made Brown feel a big headache was that in the middle of the fourth quarter, the Raptors suddenly broke out, to be precise, Maddy, he burst inside and outside to score consecutive points, and instantly helped the team play a wave of 9-0 small climax to pull the score away. What made him even more frown was that the Raptors players seemed to think that it was time for a decisive battle, and that they had suddenly become desperate on the defensive end, not at all afraid of the personal fouls they were carrying on their backs, and as long as the Pistons players received the ball, they would have to face their mad dog-like defense.

The Raptors' defense has not been strong all along, but I didn't expect them to have such a fierce side, and they were a little panicked. The Raptors took the opportunity to hit back-to-back three-pointers to pull the score away and never allowed the Pistons to save the game. In the end, the Pistons could only reluctantly accept the fact that they lost the second game on the road, and the big score became 1-3.

Of course, in the history of the NBA, there are many teams that fell behind 1-3 in the playoffs but finally won three consecutive games to reverse, but the strength of the Raptors is not weak, and grabbing the match point boosts their morale, although the next fifth game will be moved to Auburn Hills Palace, but the Pistons are not sure enough to beat the Raptors and continue their hopes of qualifying.

Chang Wei felt a little helpless, this is the first time he has such a feeling since he entered the NBA, you must know that since he joined the 76ers in the beginning of the season, he has helped the team win the championship for two consecutive years, but this time it seems that he can't even enter the Eastern Conference Finals and is going home, from Chang Wei's personal point of view, he is still a little unhappy. But this is also something that can't be helped, who makes the overall strength of the Pistons not enough to compete with the opponent now?
