The 219th broke the deadlock
In the third quarter of the game, except for Osborne, who made two three-pointers, the Pistons made no achievements on the outside, while the Rockets were on the inside.
Da Yao cut down 12 + 6 data in a single quarter in the third quarter, which shows that every rebound of Da Yao is converted into a score, Da Yao's first three quarters of data against the sky has been 24 + 19, and then there is a rebound will be 20 + 20, and according to this trend, it is possible to get 30 + 20 super data.
However, Da Yao also played for three quarters, so he will go to rest next, and the Rockets have also changed a lot, and they are very confident in the final quarter of the game. The head coach also instructed: "We played well in the third quarter, but let's not be proud because we haven't won the final victory yet, so in the next fourth quarter we have to keep working hard until we win completely." ”
And on the Pistons' side, Larry Brown is still nervously arranging tactics, "In the fourth quarter of the game, the center of the Rockets must be defended strictly, and he may take a break in the fourth quarter, so our opportunity will come." In the last quarter, you still played with all your strength on the outside, and you kept a desperate attitude on the inside. We still have a good chance of winning. ”
The fourth quarter of the game began, and this is a decisive time, so you must be cautious, and you must complete the corresponding tactical requirements in each round, and you can't play indiscriminately, that is, you must play the success rate.
The Rockets took the lead in attacking, and at the beginning, Da Yao, who was the biggest threat to the Pistons, really rested below, so this is a good time for the Pistons to establish a point advantage, and the Pistons use a way of forcing the Rockets to pass, and then increase their chance of turnovers, Chauncey Billups clings to Steve Francis, which makes Francis very uncomfortable, he has no room to shoot at all, and he doesn't know which direction to pass, he sees that they are all Pistons defenders, If you're not careful, you can get a steal on your pass, so it's better for him to be careful.
However, his own pressure is also getting bigger and bigger, and there is no way, Francis tries to break through alone, but no matter how he breaks through, he feels that the Pistons are people on the inside, and there is no way to break in.
In desperation, Francis could only change direction left and right, and threw the ball out with a stop-and-go jump shot, but due to the cold feeling, the ball was not thrown, but it was thrown crookedly, at this time, if the Rockets had Da Yao to guard him, he would not be afraid, but the current Rockets have no way to fight against Ben Wallace, who is deliberately revenged.
So the rebound was bagged by Ben Wallace, and then the Pistons played a quick counterattack, led by Chauncey Billups, and then responded by outside players such as Richard Hamilton and Osborne.
Sure enough, the players of the Rockets thought that the Pistons would dunk inside, although the Pistons were fast, but the Rockets' defenders also occupied the position of breaking through the layup, so Chauncey Billups passed the basketball to Osborn, who was already standing outside the three-point line, Osborne received the basketball and made a standard three-point shot, and then Osborne turned around, he believed that his three-point shot would not fail to score this time.
At the moment when he turned around, the basketball really went in cleanly, and this three-point shot also narrowed the gap between the Pistons and the Rockets to 5 points, and the Rockets were also ready to counterattack, or Francis organized the offense, and the others ran to block and cover and run out of the empty space, this time Francis did not do it alone, he carefully observed the defensive distribution of the Pistons, the mobility is very strong, and it is basically a two-three defensive formation, It's no wonder that the Pistons are always able to spare two people to wrap up the ball carrier, so here's the trick.
Thinking of this, Francis also dismissed the possibility of breaking through to the basket, he saw that his teammates couldn't run out of the open space, and he was also a little anxious, and then he pretended to break through, and really broke in, and also attracted Chauncy Billups and Richard Hamilton's bag, at this time Jim Jackson finally had space to shoot, so Francis passed the basketball to Jim Jackson on the outside, Jim Jackson did not hesitate, it was also a standard three-point shot out of his hand, and he also hit accurately.
Jim Jackson, who made a three-pointer, had a passionate chest bump with Francis.
At this time, the Pistons must be powerful, otherwise the situation will be very unfavorable for the Pistons.
So Chauncey Billups couldn't wait any longer, he applied for a timeout, he was going to discuss tactics, try to speed up the pace of the game, the pace was up, the Pistons would have more offensive opportunities, and he was ready to complete the whole offense in only eight seconds.
And he also conveyed his thoughts to all his teammates on the court, "Guys, next we have to speed up the game, we can only play a more efficient offense, in order to complete the overtake in a very short time, then what means can be the most efficient in a short period of time, only three-point shots and free throws, so then we have to desperately shoot three-point shots or tactical fouls." After a while, Osborne and Richard Hamilton looked for opportunities to shoot three-pointers, and Tysha Ann Prince and I executed tactical fouls, and if necessary, we could make a few more aggressive fouls, so Ben grabbed the rebound. Did you all get it? ”
Everyone else replied in unison, "We all understand, let's do it in a moment." ”
After returning from the timeout, Osborne and Richard Hamilton worked very hard to run, and others also volunteered to help them block and cover and create space for shooting, and Chauncey Billups soon tried to create space for Osborne and Hamilton with quick passes.
As it was, the Pistons quickly made open shots with quick passes, and Osborne used his agility and teammates' pick-and-roll screens to get a shot quickly, and he received a pass from Chauncey Billups for a difficult pull-up jumper.
Then the Rockets also counterattacked quickly, and both teams tried to drag each other down with speed, but the Rockets couldn't play any fast basketball due to his center tradition, so the fast-advancing Francis was stabbed off by Chauncey Billups, and Osborne saw this and quickly went down the fast break, and then Osborne received a pass and another three-point chase and didn't go to the Rockets at all.
The Rockets missed several consecutive offenses, and the Pistons seized the opportunity and quickly hit a 15-3 attack wave from the Rockets, and the Pistons also surpassed the Rockets in one fell swoop to regain the initiative in the game.
At this time, the Rockets could no longer hold back, and their head coach also called a long timeout to lay out the last-minute tactics, and by the way, let the Pistons dry and bring their hands down. (To be continued.) )
