Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Devil's Home (Three Watches, Seeking Data)
"This blocking tactic is good, and it can also be used against the Spurs, I didn't expect this little guy to be a tactical genius!" Watching Jiang Yang and Da Ben use simple blocking and dismantling tactics to compete with the main force with the substitutes, Larry Brown is also observing the situation on the court, this guy called Jiang Yang is really powerful.
Under the leadership of Jiang Yang, almost every point on the bench can blossom and attack!
It's not just Big Ben, Hunt, Delfino, and even the big bug Milicic who can play a good game.
The big bug's offensive ability is absolutely outrageous, otherwise it would be impossible to fool the general manager of the Pistons.
Although his attitude is very bad, he will still attack when he has the opportunity.
Jiang Yang's assists are rising, and this tactic is very much in line with Larry Brown's more flowering academic central idea, and Jiang Yang's gorgeous style of play also makes Larry Brown's eyes shine. Although Larry Brown doesn't like to play games too flashy, there are flashy and practical tactics, so why not play? That's what he thinks.
In the end, the bench team still lost to the main team, but the difference between the dozen and twenty points that Larry Brown originally thought did not appear, and the final score was 57-52 in the half-hour training game, and the bench team only lost by five points.
And this is basically because Delfino and Milicic can't defend, if the quality of their defense goes up, then it is really not possible to win or lose, of course, this is also the reason why they only played 30 minutes.
The Pistons are notoriously slow to heat up, and in the first fifteen minutes, those main players were basically unable to find the north.
What they really do is the last quarter of every game, and if the practice game is like a regular game, then the Pistons' benches are estimated to lose by more than 30 points, after all, there are still 18 minutes left to play.
But even so, Jiang Yang's performance has been praised by all the players, Jiang Yang has brushed 11 assists in the past half an hour, which shows that Jiang Yang is still very persistent about data, especially in assists.
"Okay, good play, the next step is to adapt to the training, let's get ready for tomorrow's game!" Seeing that the time was almost up, Larry Brown stopped the game, after all, it was just a training match within the team, so he didn't have to worry too much.
However, after the training match, Jiang Yang's status in the team has improved in a straight line, as mentioned above, the players' meals are divided into three, six, nine and so on, Jiang Yang is now directly promoted to the same meal as the main force, that is to say, the two meals in the stadium are made by a professional chef for Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang, who has been far away from the big pot of rice, eats delicious food, and is really full of emotion.
In the blink of an eye, the next day arrived, and at 7:30 p.m., the Auburn Hills Palace was already crowded with fans who had come to watch the game.
Although the global ratings of this year's finals have been low to a certain extent, in San Antonio and Detroit, there is no problem with that ticket, because fans in these two places have long been accustomed to the style of play of both teams.
They all know that their team is playing ugly, so there is no hope that they can play a good game.
For them, as long as they can win the race, it is better than anything else, and the whole Auburn Hills is full of private cars parked outside.
This is also another benefit of Detroit, because this is the Motor City, the car is sold directly here, free of freight and taxes in other states, so the car here is the cheapest in the world, taking Ford in the United States as an example, the same level of car, if it sells for 300,000 RMB in China (China plus 40% tariff), it sells for 20,000 US dollars in other states in the United States, and 15,000 US dollars in Detroit, and basically people with stable jobs, the monthly income is definitely 3,000 US dollars after tax.
In addition, the price is not expensive, and there are free admission to public places (zoos, museums, amusement parks, all municipal public enterprises are free of charge), save a little use, and a new car will be available in about seven months.
So there are a lot of private cars in Detroit, so it's called Motor City, and there's no problem at all.
With the cheers of the audience, the fourth game between the Spurs and the Pistons officially began.
However, to Jiang Yang's surprise, the Spurs showed some signs of collapse from the beginning of the game.
Under the suffocating defense of the Pistons, they had a full seven turnovers in the first quarter, and let the opponent complete many fast breaks, especially after Jiang Yang came on the court, this guy took advantage of the opponent's mistakes and made many fast breaks.
The players of the Pistons team are usual, and they can't fly a few times in a whole game, but today, they flew as many as six times in the first quarter, and there were three times instigated by Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang came on the court in the last three minutes of the first quarter, and Jiang Yang brushed 3 assists plus 1 rebound in three minutes, although he did not score, but it allowed the Pistons to directly lead the Spurs 23-17 by as many as 6 points, and in the cheers of the audience, the second quarter of the game began.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Jiang Yang hit a three-pointer to help the Pistons stretch the score to 9 points.
Po Povich had to send Bowen over to find trouble with Jiang Yang, but Jiang Yang still had that routine, he didn't attack anymore, he was entangled with Bowen, and the two of them collided badly in the last game, so in this game, there were some flashes.
But even so, Jiang Yang successfully contained Bowen's defense, so that Billups or Hamilton had a very ample opportunity to attack, and when the opponent's Ginobili came on the court, Jiang Yang went to rest.
The sixth man, that's what it means, with three minutes left in the first half, the Spurs' mistakes have reached as many as ten times, and the Pistons took advantage of this to score a total of 18 points, and Duncan, the core of the Spurs, is not very stable, and the previous shooting rate was definitely more than 60% of the turn and jump shot at a 45-degree angle, and he missed many times today.
The Pistons were given a lot of chances, and the second quarter ended with the Pistons winning by nine more points 28-19 in the first quarter.
At halftime, the Pistons had extended their lead to as many as 15 points, and in the halftime interview, Po Povich even faced the camera and said that this was the most ugly half game he had ever seen, and the Spurs played really badly.
The Spurs, who only scored 36 points in the half, all the players felt very breathless, but what can be done, who told them not to be angry, on the other hand, the Pistons side was much better, and all the players were smiling.
Larry Brown also had a rare laugh, and if nothing else, they won the game.
"Jiang, you and Ben don't use that blocking tactic in the second half." After thinking about it in the locker room, Larry Brown said to Jiang Yang, how could Jiang Yang not guess what this old man was thinking, he must have wanted to use this tactic until the critical time, this tactic was the Jazz's signature tactic at the beginning, the cooperation of Stockton and Malone.
But now Jiang Yang uses this block, although it comes from them, but it is not the same as theirs.
Big Ben's offensive ability can't be compared to Ma Long, and Jiang Yang is naturally not the god who ranks first on the assist list.
So this tactic has changed somewhat, what the big book has to do is fly, and the initiative is in Jiang Yang's hands.
At the beginning of the second half, the Pistons used a suffocating defense, coupled with a variety of offense, so that the game once again presented a one-sided situation, Duncan, Ginobili, Parker, no matter who it was, could not find the north.
At the beginning of the third quarter, the Spurs still wanted to fight back, but by the end of the third quarter, the Spurs had actually collapsed, and the score in the third quarter was 21-23, and it seemed that the Spurs had not given up lightly.
But in the fourth quarter, after Jiang Yang directly instigated an 8-0 small **, the Spurs completely collapsed.
At the end of the game, the Pistons used their unusually gorgeous offense to beat the Spurs 28-14 in the final quarter, with a total score of 102-71, a 31-point gap, and a bloody Spurs, the Spurs scored 36 points in the first half and 35 points in the second half.
And the Pistons also relied on the devilish cheering of the home court, 2-2, to draw the Spurs, and the two sides prepared for the battle of Tianwang Mountain!
