Chapter 681: Defeat to the Eagles
Because the Pistons' lineup is not casually configured, the starting five Tigers led by Osborne, which is the Pistons' unbreakable lineup system, followed by the starting five Tigers composed of Taysha Angprins instead of Osborne, which is the Pistons' strongest defensive lineup, followed by Carlos Arroyo, Daco Milicic, Kevin Cato, Antonio McDyce, the rotation lineup, their performance can be said to be average, but even so, these fixed lineups are easy to mix.

Once mixed, it is easy to affect their tacit understanding, and there will even be many mistakes, just now the Pistons made some mistakes, such as Carlos Arroyo didn't know who to pass the ball to, under normal circumstances, he passed the basketball to Daco Milicic, but now that it is mixed, he has to pass the basketball to Richard Hamilton, after all, he is the tactical core, and he is also the big brother of the Pistons team for many years.
Larry Brown seemed to notice the situation, but he didn't make adjustments at the timeout, but let the players adapt to the mix-up, after all, Oss can play as good as the starting lineup when he is on the bench, and he also believes that such a lineup can generate immeasurable energy.
He said to his players: "I know that many of your players are not suitable for this kind of lineup, but I still hope that you can accept this change, after all, I will regularly organize this kind of mixed lineup in the future, so that the old can bring the new, so that the Pistons can configure a more diversified lineup, so that the players of the Pistons can also play a different combat effectiveness." ”
Osborne listened to Larry Brown's meaning as if he would normalize this mixed lineup in the future, but at present, it seems that the effect of this is not very good, not only the tactical coordination of the players has problems, but their defense is also useless, after all, Chauncey Billups, Tysha Ann Princes, Richard Hamilton, Rashid Wallace, Ben Wallace These five are the strongest defensive lineup of the Pistons, but now that such a mix, there are holes in the Pistons' defensive lineup.
Osborne didn't say anything against it, after all, Larry Brown obviously regarded such a tactical configuration as the future development direction, and he couldn't tear down the head coach's stage in public, and he could also see that this was Larry Brown's plan for the future of the Pistons, after all, the main players of the Pistons are a little old, especially the defensive players, their bounce power, movement speed, and defensive awareness have shown great signs of decline.
It's just that such a sudden arrangement now makes the team players a little uncomfortable, after all, the tactics they were familiar with no longer exist, and some mistakes are inevitable.
Larry Brown continued to cheer up the Pistons players, let them overcome the difficulties, rise to the occasion, come back from a timeout, and the game continued to start, at this time the Pistons were two points behind, and after returning, Richard Hamilton, as the tactical core of the team, took the initiative to ask for the ball, wanting to make up for the mistake just now, after all, if he hadn't made a hasty shot, maybe the balance between the Pistons and the Hawks would not have been broken.
Richard Hamilton was the tactical core when Osborne was not playing, so it was up to him to finish offensively, after all, his scoring ability was the strongest Pistons player other than Osborne, so he didn't want to cause the Pistons to fall behind because of his mistakes, and he had to make up for it.
After Richard Hamilton got the basketball, Joe Johnson ran over to defend Richard Hamilton, Richard Hamilton also leaned on Joe Johnson with his back, he felt that Joe Johnson's strengths and weaknesses are obvious, Joe Johnson's shortcomings are a player who is strong in offense and weak in defense, his defense is indeed full of flaws, Richard Hamilton passed Joe Johnson in one turn, and then he went directly to the basket and solved the battle with a jump.
In the third quarter, the performance of the two teams was similar, and the defensive ability of the Pistons' newly mixed team lineup was basically equal to nothing, and Richard Hamilton's physical strength was not enough to support him to continue walking, so Richard Hamilton's next offense was also to use a more effortless offensive method to solve the battle, but with such a team configuration, his offensive efficiency could not be played, so the third quarter of the game became as if it was just a single game between Richard Hamilton of the Pistons and Joe Johnson of the Hawks.
Richard Hamilton's off-ball movement was unusable in this lineup, as there were few people who could give him the pick-and-roll cover he needed for off-ball movement, so there were a lot of balls that were reluctant to shoot.
Joe Johnson is different, he is a self-propelled howitzer who can create scoring opportunities by himself without any extra help, so in this comparison, Joe Johnson still has the upper hand.
Therefore, at the end of the third quarter, the Pistons were 85:87 behind the Hawks by two points, and the Pistons are currently in a backward position, but Larry Brown was not discouraged, nor did he give up the ability to mix the team's lineup, after all, the Pistons' performance was not bad, as long as the Pistons could play a wave of attack next, the Pistons would be able to lock up the win.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter of the game, the Pistons led by Chauncey Billups, Rasheed Wallace, and Ben Wallace played, and the Hawks still did not replace the main team, Joe Johnson, and Josh Smith, the two main forces still continued to play on the court.
At the beginning of the final game, Chauncy Billups was the main point guard, and he commanded his teammates' running positions but the other two rookie players couldn't make jokes like this, and there was no way, Chauncy Billups had to interact with Rasheed Wallace, and they could be regarded as supporting the Pistons' scoring in the final quarter.
Both teams played chaotically, only Chauncey Billups and Rasheed Wallace could score on the Pistons' side, while the Hawks also relied on Joe Johnson and Josh Smith to score, Chauncey Billups and Rasheed Wallace scored more decently, while on the Hawks' side, Josh Smith suddenly broke out, he was omnipotent in the last quarter, three-point shooting, breakthrough layups, and air catches and dunks.
As a result, the Pistons were 8 points behind the Hawks, and no matter how much the Pistons tried to catch up, the Hawks' two main scorers still maintained their scoring level.
Chauncee Billups saw this situation and also tried to shoot a three-pointer himself, but his three-point shooting rate was not high due to physical problems, but even so, the Pistons chased the score to the end and was only one point away, and the Pistons still had a chance to shoot a three-point shot, but it was a pity that Richard Hamilton's shooting shot was overtime, and the referee declared the goal invalid, and the Pistons unfortunately lost.
