In the second quarter of the game, the Pistons played some bench players, center Antonio McDyce, power forward Daco Milicic, small forward Morris Evans, scoring guard Carlos Delfino, and point guard Carlos Arroyo. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This worries Osborne even more, as their bench played very well in the last game, but that was relative to the Bobcats, and this game they are coming up against the Hawks' bench or even a pseudo-starting lineup, so Osborne is worried that the Pistons' bench will collapse.
You must know that the Hawks' bench lineup is also not to be underestimated, including Josh Childes, Marvin Williams, Salimsstaudemier, Royer Evi, the reason why they performed poorly was just because there was no opportunity to perform, and Joe Johnson and Josh Smith were still on the court, so Larry Brown was indeed a little too big this time in the second quarter.
The second quarter of the game started in Osborne's worries, and the Hawks' offense was very crisp in the first round, with Marvin Williams assisting Josh Smith to take off, and Josh Smith shook off Morris Evans' defense and scored a two-point shot directly on the head of Antonio McDyes.
Osborne saw that the future Eagle King Josh Smith has also begun to play his potential, the offense is still so sharp, the Pistons' offense is relatively timely, Carlos Arroyo is also concocted, he assisted Daco Milicic, the two came to a signature open dunk, and the two of them interacted more.
Looking back, Joe Johnson, the boss of the Hawks on the Hawks' side, couldn't help but be lonely, he wanted to pass the basketball, and then passed Carlos De Fierno, and scored a goal easily, the intention of this offense was very obvious, but the Pistons players couldn't prevent Joe Johnson.
At this time, Pistons bench player Dacomilisic stepped up, he received a pass from Carlos Arroyo, shook off Josh Childris with two consecutive baskets, and easily put the basketball into the basket.
Seeing that Osborne's worries did not appear, both teams scored according to their own technical characteristics, and both teams also showed that no one could guard anyone, the Pistons side was the cooperation of Daco Milicic and Carlos Arroyo, and the Hawks side was the performance of Joe Johnson and Josh Smith, both showed their respective technical levels.
Larry Brown is already very satisfied to see that the bench players can play at such a level, after all, he just wants to give the Pistons starting lineup a break, but the bench lineup can be regarded as giving Larry Brown a new understanding, and he knows that the star star Daco Milicic who he has always looked down on has also improved a lot.
Osborne was also a little surprised by the fact that the substitute team could have such a performance, he originally thought that it was an accident that he performed so well in the last game, but now it seems that he is indeed looking away.
Still, he was worried, because he had always trusted his instincts.
In the second quarter of the game, both teams performed well, playing at a very high level, and the scores of the two teams alternated leads, such a game also allowed fans and spectators to see a wonderful offensive battle, they did not expect that the game in which both teams were substitute lineups could be so good.
At halftime, the Pistons still maintained their lead, leading the Hawks by one point at 53:52, which shows that the offensive level of the two teams in the second quarter of the game is basically not conceded.
In the Pistons locker room, Larry Brown praised the players on the Pistons bench lineup, Larry Brown said: "I am very encouraged by your performance, and I hope you can continue to maintain this level in the future, as long as you can always maintain this level, I believe that no team can beat the Pistons, then I will set the task of the second half of the game." ”
Osborne listened to Larry Brown's instructions on the side, he felt that Larry Brown was indeed a little overconfident, but he had no reason to object to his arrangement, after all, he was not the head coach himself, and he did not play, so it was not good to give opinions on specific tasks, after all, he had no basis.
Larry Brown finished arranging the tactics, and the break was almost over, the Pistons did not put the original starting five together in the third quarter of the game, and the Pistons lineup did a mix in the third quarter, the point guard was Carlos Arroyo, the scoring guard was Richard Hamilton, small forward Tysha Amprins, power forward Daco Milicic, the center was Antonio McDyes, and in the fourth quarter, Larry Brown was Jean-Chauncee Billups, Rashid Wallace, Ben Wallace, and drove the rest of the bench lineup, This has to be said to be a bold attempt, and the specific effect still depends on the data speech.
Anyway, Osborne doesn't think it's very reliable, after all, he gave up his advantages in this way, and just made two sets of lineups that seemed reasonable, and the result was likely to be that he couldn't play his strength.
At the beginning of the third quarter, the Pistons took the lead in attacking, point guard Carlos Arroyo broke through with the ball, he relied on his speed, passed Tyronn Lue, and then he handed the basketball to Dacomillisic again, Dacomilisic also continued to play his strength, shook off the Hawks center Zhazapachulia who came over to block, and easily scored a two-point shot.
The Pistons took a three-point lead, but their lead didn't last long, and then Joe Johnson began his personal performance, he was not afraid of Richard Hamilton's defense, and shot a long-range three-pointer directly against the defense, Joe Johnson still relied on his own individual ability to score, but the Pistons really lacked this kind of player, because Osborne did not play, so no one in the Pistons team could match Joe Johnson.
The Pistons had no choice, Richard Hamilton also tried a three-point shot, but unfortunately his shooting hand today was very bad, and the rebound was also grabbed by Zazapachulia, and then the Hawks launched a wonderful defensive counterattack, Tyronn Lue broke through with the ball, and after taking the basketball through the middle circle, he passed the basketball to Josh Smith in front, Josh Smith as a transfer station, he did not attack by himself, but threw the basketball to the top of Joe Johnson's head, Joe Johnson also lived up to Josh Smith's pass, and as soon as he jumped to the basketball, he hit a dunk as the Hawks finally overtook the score and took the lead.
Seeing this, Larry Brown called a short timeout, he wanted to disrupt the Hawks' offensive touch, and also gave the Pistons another instruction by the way, and Osborne saw that there was clearly some dissonance in such a mixed lineup.
