409 Anti-guest-oriented
After coming to halftime, Jin Feng did not continue to ask for the ball as he did in the previous rounds, at this time the starters Fox were all on the court, and everyone should be involved in the attack, Jin Feng did not think that it was a good thing for him to play alone.
With Randle's pick-and-roll, Fox broke through and rushed to the right side of the free throw line for a one-step pullup jumper.
"Bang!" The ball was slightly off the rails and landed on the basket.
Rebound!
Inside, Randle and Drummond were in hand-to-hand combat, while at the same time, Jin Feng rushed into the basket quickly. jumped up with the help of momentum, and while several interior players were in hand-to-hand combat, Jin Feng took off the rebound.
After seeing Jin Feng take off the rebound, Randle suddenly made a force to jam Drummond, although Randle's position was not too good, and the stuck time was only about 1 second, but this time was enough for Jin Feng.
After landing on the ground, Jin Feng easily put the ball into the basket with a board.
Another 2 points! After only a short time in the opening game, the Kings blasted a wave of 8:2, they were comfortable on the offensive end, forcing Big Van Gundy to urgently call a timeout, no way, he was afraid that he would regret it even more if he didn't call a timeout for a while.
Called a timeout, set up tactics, adjusted the lineup, and the big Van Gundy replaced Bobanoyanvich on the field, along with Bradley.
Obviously, in the opening stage, the Kings' offense obviously showed signs of gaining momentum, and Big Van Gundy quickly sent two defensive elites, one inside and one outside, to the court.
Boban on the inside was really effective, he first hit a mid-range shot on the inside, and then on the defensive end, he blocked an attack from Randle, allowing the Pistons to immediately stabilize the situation.
Seeing that the decision to pause and substitution just now had a good effect, Pistons head coach Big Van Gundy suddenly had an idea about the team's dismissal in this game, that is, to make a fuss on the defensive end.
The Kings are a young team, and the core of the team, China Jin, is a well-known scoring explosive player, which means that if you want to fight with the Kings to attack your own team, you obviously can't fight, then fight defense, and your own team on the defensive end is still okay, Big Van Gundy made up his mind.
………………
The Pistons playing at home may not be able to open up the situation on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, the morale of the players is still high, and after the timeout of Van Gundy, the Pistons' defensive intensity is very strong.
However, the current king has also completely recovered from his senses, whether it is offensive or defensive, playing more disciplined than before the timeout. Even though the Pistons' defensive intensity was high, they couldn't completely limit the Kings' offense.
With the increase in the king's offensive rate, the Pistons' counterattack opportunities have also decreased, and after falling into the positional offense, the shortcomings of the Pistons' congenital lack of offensive explosiveness have also begun to be exposed.
Although the Kings were unable to widen the margin further, the Pistons were also unable to narrow the margin further, and the margin began to hover between 4 and 6 points.
After playing five minutes in the first quarter, Jin Feng was replaced by Shambaught, who had disrupted the battle before Jin Feng as a superstar, with super scoring ability at critical moments, and the role of staying on the court was very large, but when both teams began to fall into the position and grind slowly, for the core of a team like Jin Feng, Jason Kidd preferred to let him rest for a while in case he needed to play at critical moments, and Shambold, who replaced Jin Feng, was also a top 3D player in the league, so at this time, Jason Kidd replaced Jin Feng and replaced Shambaugh, to strengthen the team's positional attack.
At 49:45, the first half of the game ended, and the difference between the two teams was fixed at 4 points.
The Pistons, who are playing at home, have a four-point lead, but ESPN commentator Jeff Van Gundy, who is on the sidelines, believes that the situation is not so favorable for the Pistons.
"The Pistons had a four-point lead, but things weren't too good for them. After all, guys, I need to point out that they're playing at home."
"Well, in such an advantageous situation, although they are four points ahead, we can all see that they are playing very passively on the court."
"Obviously, if the Pistons can't open up the game on the offensive end, if they don't do a little bit less in the next game, they will most likely not be able to hold on to this win, and the final victory of this game will belong to the Kings"
After listening to Jeff Van Gundy's analysis, his partner Mark Jackson immediately asked, "So man, do you think the Kings will overtake in the next game and win the game?"
"No, Mark, you don't quite understand what I mean, it's all up to the Pistons to keep playing at a high level." Jeff Van Gundy immediately shook his head and said, in his opinion, for a team, although they played well on offense before, if they want to win, they still have to rely on a balanced play of the whole court, and for the Pistons who relied on defense to take the lead in the first half, maybe at least they have to play the same level of defense in the second half.
And after hearing Jeff Van Gundy's words, the eyes of the Kings fans in front of the screen suddenly lit up, and they maintained high-intensity defense throughout the second half? It's not easy.
As a direct participant on the court, the Pistons are also very aware of the key to winning or losing this game.
"The Kings aren't scary, they're just a young team, defensively! We've got to put more pressure on us defensively......"
At halftime, after a speech by Van Gundy, the home team's locker room was gritted with their teeth and determined.
Bradley: "I'm going to follow Daron Fox in the second half and won't give him an easy chance to score, definitely not!" ”
Jackson: "Defend!" We have to do better, and if we need to defend high to win, then we did that throughout the second half! ”
Drummond: "I'm going to play more aggressively and I won't give Juliet Srandell another chance to attack the basket easily!" ”
If you don't want to be defeated by the Kings at home, then defend, defend desperately, and at this moment, all the Pistons players have only one thought in their hearts.
So when the second half of the game began, the Kings players on the court and the fans in front of the screen found that the Pistons' defense continued to maintain a high standard.
At first, the Kings also thought that it was impossible to maintain such defensive intensity as the Pistons, and they waited for opportunities while playing steadily, waiting for the Pistons to make mistakes on the defensive end.
However, what the king did not expect was that it would take three minutes, five minutes, eight minutes...... After the start of the second half, the time was decreasing a little, but the Pistons' defensive intensity did not decrease in the slightest.
From the beginning of the second half of the game to the end of the third quarter, the Pistons' defensive intensity maintained a fairly high level.
At 21:21, the two sides tied in this quarter, and the difference between the two teams continued to remain at 4 points after three quarters of the game.
At the beginning of the final quarter of the game, the defensive intensity of the Pistons still showed no signs of weakening at this time, and at this time, even Jin Feng was actively looking for opportunities after the start of the fourth quarter, but he was repeatedly blocked.
On the offensive end, although the overall coordination of the Pistons is not very good, they can still find some offensive opportunities when they play very actively.
The 4-point difference was like a threshold in front of the king, and the 4-point difference remained close to two quarters, but they couldn't cross it.
The game had entered the end of the fourth quarter, and at this time, the veterans Ariza and George Hill finally stepped up, and the two broke through the strong attack at one time, and the Kings scored four points in a row.
With two minutes left on the game time, the Kings finally tied the score at 89-89.
The next two attacks from both sides were unsuccessful, and the game time was only 31 seconds left in the blink of an eye.
The ball was in the hands of the king at this time, and as in most previous games, when the game came to the last moment and it was necessary to perform the last attack, the king habitually handed over this task to Jin Feng.
However, the Pistons are clearly aware of this, and their defense is very targeted, and they sent Bradley, the best defensive perimeter player on the team, to play against Jin Feng.
"Bang!" In the face of Bradley's defense, Jin Feng's three-point shot bounced out of the basket, and the Pistons won the rebound and called a timeout.
"The Pistons' excellent defense continued into the final minute of the game, they managed to block the King's offense, and the Pistons had the last chance to attack, was it a stunner or overtime?"
Mark Jackson paused after saying this, "It's a test of the Pistons' offense, and it's also a test of the Kings' defense." ”
The Pistons made the last attack and replaced them with the most offensive lineup of the game, Blake Griffin, Andre Drummond, Reggie Jackson, Galloway, Bradley.
The Kings also adjusted the lineup accordingly, with two starting interior players Willie Cowleystan and Randle, and on the outside, Fox, Ariza, and Jin Feng, three Kings outside players, played.
The Kings gave the Pistons 10 seconds in their previous round, and after the Pistons sent the ball out, Reggie Jackson held the ball at the top of the arc, and it was Jin Feng who stopped him.
Jin Feng defended Reggie Jackson, Fox went to play against Galloway, who prefers to run, and Ariza played against the experienced Bradley.
Reggie Jackson quickly got the ball into Griffin's hands and was running aggressively.
Although Reggie Jackson put the ball in Griffin's hands, and Griffin did play very well in this game, Jin Feng did not relax his vigilance and still chose to follow Reggie Jackson's side closely.
In terms of the choice of the final offense, except for those who are the top in the league, the outside player is always the best choice for the coach.
Sure enough, after running towards the basket, Reggie Jackson quickly stopped and ran back to rush out of the three-point line.
Reggie received the ball outside the three-point line, Jin Feng also followed closely at this time, and saw Reggie who was holding the ball to shoot the ball, Jin Feng immediately took a step forward, but Jin Feng did not completely pounce.
At this time, the 5-second countdown had just begun, and in Jin Feng's mind, it was unlikely that Reggie Jackson would be so eager to give the king time for the last attack, so the opponent's action could be explained, that is...... Feints!
Jin Feng's prediction was right, after lifting the ball and making a shooting feint, the next moment, Reggie Jackson bent down and dribbled to the left side.
In front of Reggie Jackson, Jin Feng quickly stuck to the defense and blocked Reggie's flank.
"Squeak!"
Obviously, Reggie couldn't break through Jin Feng's defense directly with his body, and seeing that there was little time left for the offense, Reggie Jackson, who rushed into the free throw line, suddenly stopped and jumped.
"Whoosh!"
After seeing Reggie Jackson jump, in front of him, Jin Feng flew into the air with lightning speed, his long arm reached forward, and Jin Feng's huge palm directly touched the basketball that Reggie raised above his head.
"Reggie Jackson shoots the ball, and China Jin is defending ......"
Reggie Jackson also felt the defensive pressure brought by Jin Feng and accelerated his shot, Reggie tried to avoid Jin Feng's block, but still failed to succeed.
"Smack!"
Cover! When the basketball just flew out, Jin Feng's palm fanned over, and although he didn't fan the ball directly, he also swept most of the basketball!
The basketball was less than half in the air before it began to fall and fell to Griffin's position, but by this time, the game time was over!
"Cover! Jin blocked the Pistons' lore shot, overtime! The Kings dragged the game into overtime! Mark Jackson shouted from the commentary box.
On the sidelines, at this time, it was ice and fire, and on the King's bench, the King's players jumped up excitedly, raising their arms and cheering!
On the other side, the Pistons bench players sighed with regret along with many Pistons fans.
At this time, the Pistons fans have completely lost the excitement of the home team's lead before, but they are worried every second, in the last two quarters, the Pistons relied on extremely excellent defense to consume the king, but on the court, the king seems to complete the turnaround at any time, which makes the Pistons fans suffer.
And now, the game is going to enter overtime, which means that the Pistons have to work hard to defend the Kings' attack for 5 minutes, which suddenly makes the Pistons fans extremely worried
"The team has already defended the opponent's time in the fourth quarter, and the overtime will definitely be prevented!" At this time, Pistons fans could only secretly read in their hearts.
On the Kings' bench, Jason Kidd encouraged the Kings' players with similar but completely opposite words.
"The guys on the other side were on the verge of collapse, they defended the whole game seriously, they had tried their best for the first 48 minutes, and they couldn't even run, so next, our chance came!"
"Attack! Seize the start of extra time and go all out! Crush them in one fell swoop! ”
Jason Kidd put his pen on the tactical board and shouted confidently, and his words immediately boosted the morale of the Kings.
Jin Feng's eyes are also bright, Kidd is right, after defending the whole game like this, the morale of the Pistons has been almost worn down at this time, and it can't be compared with before, and the consumption of the physical strength of the Pistons players is also very large.
Especially Drummond, the core of the opponent's defense, he has been playing for 44 minutes in front of him, and has been taking on a lot of defensive tasks in the game, I believe that at this moment, his physical strength has also reached the limit.
So at this time, Jason Kidd's strategy is simple, attack the inside.
"Tick!"
At the referee's whistle, overtime officially began, and Coopers won Drummond with a jumper, and the Kings took the lead in attack.
Koufus, Randle, Jin Feng, Shambaught, George Hill This is the lineup of the Kings on the court at this time, Fox and Jackson played almost the entire quarter in the fourth quarter, so they stayed off the court to rest at this time, as for Jin Feng, he must appear on the court.
Koufus and Randle fell in the low post on both sides, this position is very similar to the last game with the Pelicans, the King played a lot of offensive cooperation, but at this time the King did not cut in, and the ball was directly handed over to Randle Singles!
Randle singled Drummond, a tactic that didn't work very well in the time leading up to this match, after all, Drummond has a strong deterrent on the defensive end.
However, that was when Drummond was full of energy, defending a game, and how much stamina Drummond had left now.
"Porphyry!"
With a heavy back, Randall exerted all his strength at this time, and the result was that Drummond was squeezed back a step!
Randall leaned on again, Drummond retreated, and Drummond, who was already exhausted, couldn't resist Randall who was using all his strength!
At this time, Randle had squeezed to a position close to the three-second zone, turned around, and Randle used his power to completely suppress Drummond, holding the ball with one hand and preparing to attack.
"Tick!" Drummond, who was behind him, tried to make some resistance, but was directly whistled for a foul by the referee.
But even so, it didn't stop Randle's goal, playing the board with one hand, hitting a two-point shot, 2+1!
