Chapter 524 Enhanced Attack and Defense
In the first game, the Pistons won hard, only 5 points against the Heat, which was still won by 58 points when Osborne scored 58 points, which shows how difficult the game was, the Heat's Dwyane Wade scored 46 points, O'Neal scored 25 points, and the other players also did not play well, otherwise it is unknown who will win and who will lose.

After the first meeting in the Eastern Conference finals, Pistons head coach Larry Brown also recognized the strength of the Heat, and it is really not a team that can be taken away by a wave, after all, this team has two superstars, and the difficult win in the first game made Larry Brown take this series more seriously, and take Dwyane Wade's impact on the Pistons more seriously, and O'Neal's destruction of the Pistons.
Because Larry Brown defeated O'Neal at the end of his peak and Kobe Bryant who was on the rise, he thinks that no matter how good the Heat team is, it will not be stronger than the Lakers' OK combination, but in the current view, this Heat team is far more reasonable and stronger than the Lakers team of the F4 combination.
Then Larry Brown began to think seriously about how to deal with the Heat's alternative version of the Lakers.
The Pistons' super defense can keep the Lakers' Kobe Bryant from hitting iron repeatedly, but now the Pistons' defense has little effect on Dwyane Wade, and Dwyane Wade's breakthrough hurts the Pistons' interior players a lot, Ben Wallace has been beaten by Dwyane Wade many times to 2+1, and O'Neal also seems to have burst out in the second spring of the Heat, and has regained the 6 success of the year.
Larry Brown believes that only a zone defense can be more effective in limiting Dwyanwade's break, and it is a good option for Shaquille O'Neal to cut the shark if necessary, but he didn't use it that way in the first game because he believed in Osborne's score, and O'Neal's free throws were pretty good today, at least half of them were made.
After thinking about this, Larry Brown didn't continue to think about it, no matter how much he thought about it, it would be useless if he couldn't play the strength of his team, so he called the defensive players together to study how to defend and limit Dwyane Wade's scoring and who would execute the shark slashing tactic when, as for why not study the Pistons offense, it was because the Pistons' offense never let him down, or Osborne never let him down, so he directly ignored the offense and turned to focus on defensive issues.
After two days of emergency running-in, there has been no obvious change in the Pistons' defense, but the effect is still there, at least the Pistons' blocking and dismantling cover has a lot of tacit understanding.
The second game is still played at the Auburn Hills Palace Arena, this time the temperament of the Heat team has become a little different, it seems that he has done a lot of homework when he goes back, Dwyane Wade also thinks that he does not have the strength of long-range shooting, but his breakthrough seems to be difficult for the Pistons to bear, so he has also practiced mid-range shooting and breakthrough in the past few days to make himself more deterrent.
Osborne was amazed at his teammates' defensive training in the past two days, Larry Brown didn't even call him, and Osborne's three-point shooting practice has not been put down for the past two days, and he is still heating up.
At the beginning of the first quarter of the game, Ben Wallace and Shaquill O'Neal competed for the ball, both of them were the bounce height of a cigarette, so Ben Wallace's chance of grabbing the basketball was much higher, Ben Wallace also lived up to expectations and jumped successfully, Osborne received an assist from Chauncey Billups, and Osborne did not hesitate to use a three-point shot to open the way again.
Dwyane Wade then wanted to launch a fast-break to open the scoring for the Heat, but Pistons players Richard Hamilton and Chauncey Billups and Rasheed Wallace all stood in positions according to the left, center and right to wait for Dwyane Wade's impact.
Dwyane Wade saw that the Pistons were in a neat formation, but he didn't have time to think, he went directly into the Pistons' iron bucket formation, and then Richard Hamilton, Chauncey Billups immediately wrapped up, and Rashid Wallace was also ready to block Dwyane Wade behind them or directly push Wade to the ground.
Dwyane Wade didn't want to make a fake move and then shoot backwards and jumpers, Richard Hamilton and Chauncey Billups both jumped up to defend, but unfortunately the superstar's offense never depends on how good the opponent's defense is, but on his own state, so to speak, the only player who can defend against the superstar is himself.
Dwyane Wade had a good hand on the first shot and he hit the ball directly, but even then Dwyanwade only got a two-pointer, and Chauncey Billups came back and assisted Rasheed Wallace to make a two-pointer and also colored.
Next, the Heat's offense was tightly encircled by the Pistons, Eddie Jones got the ball and was about to make a move, Osborne also reached out in time to poke Eddie Jones' ball off, and then Chauncey Billups cooperated with Richard Hamilton all the way down the fast break, and the Pistons led the Heat by 5 points.
Then no matter which player of the Heat team attacked, the Pistons players were waiting for the Heat to attack in a fixed area, thanks to the fact that few of the Heat players were projection players, otherwise the Pistons' regional joint defense, the bucket formation would be meaningless.
Dwyane Wade hit a wall everywhere in the Pistons' interior, every offense is not easy, and his pass to Shaquille O'Neal is always broken, so that the Heat's offense is very sluggish, the Pistons rely on Osborne to keep throwing three-pointers, while the Heat are gradually falling behind in Dwyane Wade's continuous offensive misses.
Osborne threw three-pointers frantically with the help of teammates in the first quarter, and Dwyane Wade played crazy iron under the Pistons' crazy defense, and Shaquween O'Neal was often stealed, so the Pistons had an absolute advantage in the first quarter, and at the end of the first quarter, the Pistons led the Heat by 13 points at 33:20, of which Osborne alone scored 19 points.
Dwyane Wade scored a measly 5 points on 2-of-9 shooting in the first quarter, while Shaquille O'Neal was a bit better with 7 points and 4 rebounds, and their stats combined were not as good as Osborne's.
Osborne's three-point offense and the Pistons' strengthened version of the defense directly laid the foundation for the victory of this game, and the Heat couldn't do it if they wanted to pack Osborne, because Osborne always hid behind his teammates to shoot, and Osborne's coquettish running made it difficult for Eddie Jones and Dwyanne to try to contain him, especially Osborne's running and the Pistons' blocking and covering together, coupled with Osborne's excellent touch, the Pistons' lead over the Heat was also predictable.
