At the end of the first quarter, during the break, Larry did not use his usual harsh tactics, but whispered to his players: "The Knicks are different from us, the Knicks have capital to squander, you don't, and you have forgotten how we got to this court." ”

"Ben, you are an undrafted rookie, it is with your endless efforts, it is with a clear positioning again, to bring yourself to the height of the league's top defensive players now, but you forget that your projection ability is very poor, and your blocking and rebounding also need the help of your teammates, not you alone, especially against two of the league's top interior players like the Knicks, especially when facing the Knicks! You've forgotten how you got to where you are in this game. ”

"You also forget your season average, and the 12 points in the last game, and that's because your runs and some luck played a role in it."

Ben opened his mouth at this statement, but did not continue to defend anything.

"Chauncey, you have also forgotten how you came through the first half of the season, how you were abandoned by those teams? Your shooting is also inconsistent right now, the breakthrough depends on your body and your own rhythm, and all your offensive methods are easily limited! ”

"You used your mind, your spirit, your body that doesn't get hurt easily to get to where you are today, but in the first quarter of the game, I just saw a reckless young man fighting, is that your style?"

Chauncy was even more silent when he heard this, but his palm couldn't help but clench into a fist.

"Hamilton, since you have been a teammate with Gong Feng for a year, you should know that when he defends with all his might, it is not to defend the action after receiving the ball, but to defend the route that may be passed to you according to your habits, do you know that this is different from the past games, when other people defend you?"

"Ray Allen can get a salary of 13 million, but you, who are a shooter with him, can only get about 9 million after his rookie season, so where do you think he is higher than you? Is it just physical fitness? ”

"Think about it, don't run blindly, use your brain to think about how Gong Feng thinks about you, so that you will make more progress!"

"Prince, how do you think you're second to Maddie after playing a game? But if you're second in Maddie, why would you have such a low draft ranking? ”

"If you don't understand this question, don't think too much about irrelevance, do your own thing, you have your strengths, and you don't need to learn from others!"

"Rashid, it seems that the one who is least qualified to say yours is me, as a core member of the Trail Blazers, you also played the Lakers, so how did you lose back then? Haven't you thought about that? ”

Speaking of this, Brown said with a little emotion: "All you have is your present, there is no rookie among you who got FMVP in his rookie season, not a qualified individual core, and the star who built the team for you, you will not be able to become a Malone who grabbed the regular season MVP from Jordan in the future, and none of you have ever won the best rookie, what you can have is a good teammate who can shield you from the wind and rain!" ”

"You only have each other, because the goal of the team was not to make you an All-Star, but to make you a championship team!" Speaking of which, Brown could no longer suppress the restlessness in his heart.

"Yes, I admit that in the last game, you played very well, but that's not the norm for the Pistons, your norm is to play on the basis of good defense, that's the foundation of you as a strong team!"

"And in this game, your first quarter of the game is a set of ****, or that kind of smelly ****, you forget the basis of your survival in this league, you think of yourself as a famous All-Star, but you just need to rely on each other to get successful civilian players!"

"What you're going to do is challenge this future All-Star team in front of you, and they can sacrifice each other's stats, the ball that each other can have, and share more of the ball for the sake of their team to win, so what about you? What can you do? ”

"If you are a college student, a student who has not entered the league, I will encourage you to play well, but for you professional players, I don't need to say this, it's just that your performance in the first quarter is really disappointing to me!"

Larry used this break to establish his authority again, and also stimulated the momentum that players should have, just like Larry said, any person on the Pistons team is not the strongest after they come out, but as long as the Pistons are five together, it is not any team in the league, and they can easily beat them.

Even if you lose, you have to pull off a layer of the enemy's skin, and if you don't have this kind of awareness, don't think about making a name for yourself in this alliance.

Watching the Pistons players come out of the bench in silence, the bench players led by Hill and Jay were the most shocked in the first batch.

"Wow, doesn't it have this effect without resting? Or is it hatred with me, or is it against you? Looking at the Pistons' expressions, which were obviously completely different from the performance in the first quarter, Jay couldn't help but ask.

"Jay, don't underestimate them, they are really strong now, grab the rhythm, this is what we have to do, play harder, don't underestimate us, how strong your scoring ability is, now is the beginning of the real test...... Don't worry, I'm not fighting for the ball on the bench, put your heart in balance, you are still our main scorer! ”

Hearing this, Jay licked his lips and nodded quietly.

Seeing Jay like this, Hill nodded but couldn't help but think about the future of the team, but thinking that Jay was a rookie in 02, Hill smiled a little quietly, at least next season you don't have to think about this kind of thing.

The Pistons' main players are not iron men either, and Larry Brown let the team's main players play at the beginning of the second quarter just to consider the emotions of the players, and also want to make this time to catch up with the team's scores.

But just like Nelson Sr. said, the Knicks' bench is really extravagant enough, and the bench lineup composed of Cott, Bosh, Hill, Jay and Gerrard is not something that the Pistons can easily limit, and more importantly, the Knicks' bench playing time is limited...... In other words, the two teams just went head-to-head at the beginning.

Neither team took advantage of anything at the beginning of the second quarter, and Hill deliberately suppressed the tempo, using his organizational skills to play everything the Knicks should have, and every offense would be passed to any player, and all players were not in a hurry, just playing the most assured offense.

Larry saw such a performance from the Knicks' bench, so he could only let the main team play for three minutes and immediately come down, replace the substitute players, strengthen the team's breakthrough ability, and it is best to make the scene chaotic.

But one thing Larry forgot was Jay's speed and projection ability, which is a good player who likes to fight, and with Hill, the Knicks have not been on the main team in the second quarter, and they have already stretched the score to more than 16 points.

It is already very difficult for a team like the Pistons to fill their holes, without players with strong explosive power, and without players with particularly outstanding counterattack ability, especially after facing the Knicks with a balanced offense and defense.

Although the main team of the Pistons played very hard after coming on the court in the third quarter, which put the Knicks' main team in trouble, the Pistons could not let the Knicks not score points, and the Pistons could not score more points in the face of the Knicks' defense.

In other words, the main team of the Pistons is at full strength, and the main team of the Knicks is not much different without special play, but the bench lineup of the Pistons is too different from the Knicks, and there is no player in the main team who can lead the bench lineup to score steadily.

In the final analysis, the Pistons are a more civilian team than the Wizards who won the championship that year. It's just that the chemistry they have when they work together is so great that even Larry Brown is a little caught off guard. (To be continued.) )
