When the Pistons fall behind, they have to step up their offense, because even if they improve their defense, they will never be able to catch up if they don't do it on the offensive end. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

And their head coach Philip Saunders is actually more offensive than Larry Brown, defense is what the Pistons live by, and their change this season is offense.

However, this kind of thing often does not go towards expectations, perhaps because the Pistons always can't take care of offense and defense, which is why they played seven games with the Cavaliers and almost said goodbye.

And the current Knicks are undoubtedly more powerful than the Knights.

The Pistons' first offense in the fourth quarter was a double screen, and Hamilton received the ball to complete the shot.

Lehi's response to the other party was to go straight in and hit a 2+1.

With the physical exhaustion of both sides, the Pistons' interior line is no longer a no-fly zone, and although the two Wallaces are strong in defense on the inside, they will be a little slower when they are tired.

As long as there is a gap, it is an opportunity for a player like Lehi.

After all the main forces of both sides returned, Lehi chose to switch defenses with his teammates and go all out to deal with Hamilton.

Lehi is more physical, and the key to dealing with a master of running off the ball like Hamilton is concentration.

It just so happened that Lehi was also top in this regard, and Hamilton didn't feel so good for the rest of the day.

However, the quality of the Pistons' coverage is really high, and even if Lehi is fully attached to Hamilton, he will always slam into the opponent's muscle club.

In this case, the best defensive method should be to rotate between defensive players, but with the Knicks' defensive skills, it is not possible to do a seamless rotation, so Hamilton will not be limited at all.

So, for Hamilton, it still needs Lehi's single defense ability.

Fortunately, Lehi is also very familiar with the Pistons' cover routine, not only has he played against them, but he also often encounters it when the Knicks are training inside, after all, Larry Brown also likes this routine very much.

After a few bumps, Lehi had a memory of how the Pistons were changing now.

When he encounters cover, he can get rid of it as quickly as possible, and the Pistons' pass can't get to the ball every time, and the rest of the Knicks team is not a decoration, knowing that the Pistons' pass to Hamilton is the first choice, they will also cause trouble.

At 5 minutes and 15 seconds, Hamilton shot iron under Lehi's interference, the Knicks quickly counterattacked, and Lehi scored a layup.

3 minutes and 57 seconds, Crawford, who had just been substituted, steals and attacks, the Knicks break fast in the third line, Crawford hit 2 points, and the Knicks lead to 9 points.

After entering the 2-point game, the Pistons began to try three-pointers, but Rasheed Wallace missed a three-point shot, and as a big man on the inside, he had a lot of range of movement, and now he is also feeling fatigued.

Then the Pistons tried foul play, Marbury hit one of two free throws, and Billups hit a quick three-pointer to help the Pistons close the gap to four points, and they saw hope again.

Lehi hit both free throws, Billups missed another three-pointer, and the Knicks won their first Eastern Conference Finals on the road 92-86.

Li Hai had 25 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, and although he scored moderately compared to the previous games, his excellent organizational skills were shown again.

The Knicks were able to enter the Eastern Conference Finals, and the outside world generally thought that the weakness of the Heat's small forward gave them a chance, but when they met the Pistons, the Knicks no longer had this advantage, and they were likely to have problems with the old Pistons.

But in fact, the Pistons can't limit the Cavaliers perfectly, so they can't limit the Knicks well, and the Knicks' attack power is stronger than the Cavaliers.

As a result, the media, which had previously been conclusive, began to ridicule the Pistons' basketball as outdated.

And in the West, the Suns reversed the Mavericks, and the limelight was all stolen by the small character Berese Dior, and the Frenchman became the hero of the team.

The Knicks didn't have any heroes, they played at the level they were supposed to play and they won the game.

In the second game two days later, the Knicks had a problem with their outside hand, lost by 3 points, and the score of the two sides became 1:1.

The Western Mavericks and Suns also played 1-1, with the difference that Josh Howard, who was injured in the first game, came out with an injury, and the Mavericks showed that they were better than their opponents.

Back at home, the Knicks felt much better, and fatigue seemed to be swept away.

They were full of fighting spirit, but previous defeats also made them more cautious.

Amid the cheers of the home crowd, Lehi was unceremonious and put out enough firepower in the first quarter.

The same is true of Billups, who changed his normal behavior to offense first, and Hamilton became the Pistons' double gun, and the Knicks at home except for Lehi strengthened his offense, but the rest did not change, and he still insisted on combining inside and outside.

The first quarter was the best time for both sides, and they both played their own tactics, and by the end of the day, the Knicks had only a two-point lead.

The Pistons increased the playing time of their bench players in Game 2, and after winning that game, they felt that the change in tactics worked, and the game still increased the number of rotations.

The idea of letting the main players rest a little more in the game and adjust their strength for the final moment of the decisive battle is good, but the Pistons' bench is too far from the main team.

The previous game was not so much a substitute as it was a problem with the Knicks themselves.

Because their bench players didn't even get 10 combined, if they can't help the team, they don't know if the few minutes of rest they have for the main team are worth it.

So it was a different story when they couldn't score on the bench in this game.

Crawford scored five points in a row and extended the lead with a rotational lineup.

By the time the Pistons reinstated their starting lineup, the gap between the two sides had reached double digits.

The Pistons' scoring explosiveness is not good, and it is extremely difficult to catch up with a team like the Knicks who are very familiar with them, once they fall behind to double digits.

Billups was originally the playmaker of the team, the big heart of the critical moment, but now he had to put the organization in second place, trying to use his attacking power to pull the score back.

But the Knicks won't give the Pistons this opportunity, and on the offensive end, they played several sets of blocking and pick-and-roll tactics completely, making it difficult for the Pistons to guard.

At 49:38, at the end of the first half, the Knicks led by 11 points.

The Pistons didn't play both offensively and defensively, and they were a little overwhelmed on the Knicks' home court. (To be continued.) )
