Chapter 8: The First Counterattack

Collins' tactics are actually very simple, which is to give the ball to the players to deal with, so that the veterans can get the most time to rest, a very simple breakaway ball, and the other players just distance themselves......

I'm afraid no one would have thought that in this game, the Wizards still have a chance to turn the tables.

It was only after this game that Jordan had the heart to strengthen the team to some extent and began to lay out the future.

The Pistons still came up with the main lineup in the second half, Stackhouse, Dana, Clifford Robinson, Michael Curry, Ben. As soon as the third quarter began, Tyrone Lue broke through the inside line, and Hamilton, who assisted the bottom foot, got a three-pointer, and it was this time that Pistons head coach Rick Carlisle called a timeout.

"Defend Hamilton, this guy is the key to their rebound, Dana, I want you to keep an eye on Hamilton all over the court, I don't need you to help defend others, you understand?" As the head coach of such a chaotic team, Carlisle is actually very unsatisfactory, and he is even more dissatisfied with his players.

As a first-time coach this season, Carlisle actually has a very light voice. However, as a championship coach of the Mavericks, a coach that Mark Cuban trusted very much, and a coach of the Pacers at the peak of the early 21st century, Carlisle was very capable even when he was a rookie.

"Stackhouse, I want you to follow Tyrone Lue, defend the space he passes to the inside, unless Kwame leaves the basket to pick him up, then give me and Ben to pinch him, don't give him room to go to the basket......"

It's just that...... Gong Feng wants to thank Carlisle, without this dialogue, where can Gong Feng usher in the outbreak?

The Pistons' offense, the hot Stackhouse faced the defense of the bow peak, but still forced a layup with a breakthrough.

Tyrone Lue also broke through Stackhouse for a layup and also gave the color.

The second Tyrone Lue's breakthrough began to face the basket Ben and Stackhouse two of the bag, after stopping the ball, Tyrone Lue fell into the danger of being cut off, Kwame hurried over to clear the siege, but Robinson has come to help defend, the Pistons' unique chaotic defense at this time allowed Gong Feng to seize the opportunity and get an open three-point opportunity.

It went well, the ball went in, and the Wizards hit their second three-pointer in the second half.

However, the Pistons' chaotic players still felt very hot, and Robinson's inside shot also hit.

In the next round, the low Tyrone Lue did not rush deep into the basket, but after taking a step, he saw that the two people on the defensive line had a tendency to wrap up, and passed directly to Gong Feng, facing the defense of the defenders one step away, Gong Feng did not hesitate, and once again threw the basketball in his hand, and the ball went in.

"The so-called pitcher is the group of people who are most confident in themselves, otherwise it is impossible to be a good pitcher. Because if a pitcher even questions his shot, then the pitcher has nothing to rely on. Don't be bothered by the so-called feel, if the pitcher has other things in mind, it will naturally become uncomfortable, and the drop in hit rate will become very normal. ”

This is what Coach K said to Gong Feng when he let Gong Feng enter the team, which can be regarded as a kind of praise, when Gong Feng was found in the team, the only highlight was his shooting, but I am afraid that Coach K at that time would not have thought that Gong Feng would be so talented in the position of point guard.

As a rookie of the Wizards, or a rookie who entered the starting line in the first game, the pressure on Gong Feng is not small, even the opening three consecutive wins did not get rid of this emotion, Gong Feng's biggest contribution on the court is to make other players play more freely, it can be said that he did not think of himself as a pure shooter again.

In this game against the Pistons, Collins' arrangement in the second half did not have any features worth targeting, but the biggest feature was to free Gong Feng from a playmaking guard and treat Gong Feng as a real shooter. This can be regarded as liberating Gong Feng's three-point ability.

As a student who was admitted to Duke by advanced mathematics, the three-point shooting rate was about six percent higher than the two-point shooting rate in Duke's three-year championship time, and Gong Feng's three-point shooting rate was about six percent higher than that of two-point shooting if someone calculated.

Since the team doesn't need to organize itself now, just throw the ball passed to them, and the bow peak, which is very simple in basketball, will also liberate itself, and the shooting feel seems to become very natural.

The current Pistons team doesn't have Billups, plus the best defense is going to defend Hamilton and Tyrone Lue, and the remaining fringe figure on the championship team naturally can't defend the bow peak that has begun to feel hot.

In the third quarter of the game, Gong Feng shot 8 of 12 three-pointers, and he scored 24 points alone, none of which were two-pointers...... If such a result is discovered by someone who cares, I don't know if there will be new tactics. Six of those assists came from Kwame, and someone seemed to be heading for his first career triple-double...... This time the momentum is even stronger, and the fatigue of back-to-back has long been invisible.

"So I can wit other people...... Ben is too short, he is far worse than me when he leaves the basket, and Lao Tzu can hang him now. "This is Kwamei's feeling after shooting two goals from mid-range, simple people......

At the end of the third quarter, under the attack of Kwamei and Gong Feng, the analogy was pulled to within 10 points......

It's not that the two didn't work hard, but the Pistons' hand didn't drop at all, and the Pistons also scored 25 points in the third quarter.

The two rookies performed well offensively, but the defense was not as good as it could be. However, the guy who also relied on his own feelings, in the end, it was better than luck, today is really a lucky star for Gong Feng, although Carlisle later targeted Gong Feng's strategy, but Collins released a great god at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

For the players of the Pistons, as soon as the propositions of defending the bow peak and defending Jordan appeared, Stackhouse, who was originally defending the bow peak, knew what he was going to do without thinking too much.

Under the supply of the great god and Kwamei, Gong Feng also completely let go, and the feeling of the fourth quarter continued, scoring 40 points in the whole game, including 30 points on three-pointers.

The game was won by the Wizards, and the Pistons' hand did not continue, and the Pistons only scored 11 points in the fourth quarter.

Of course, the happiest thing in this is not Gong Feng, but Kwame Brown, who has taken a step forward in the direction of the little monster, and he finished the game with 14 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists, becoming the youngest three-point winner in history.

This game can be regarded as his luck, he only got an assist at halftime, and he didn't care about it in the next two quarters, just passed the ball in his hand to Gong Feng, and others turned a blind eye and heard it in front of him...... The road of friendship between the two can be described as getting more and more tacit understanding.

In any case, this game has formed a huge influence on the two, and there are enough people who pay attention to Jordan, and the two are riding the east wind......

Wizards = Playoff Team? 》

How far can the Wizards go with a four-game winning streak in the opening game? 》

"A three-pair little monster and a 40-point marksman? 》

……

"How? What do you think of the current Wizards? Is it just about making the playoffs? ”

"How? What else, can the boss still invest in us? Besides, we don't have that space now, the main force has stabilized, substitutes? I'm not the one who can be followed to win the championship. ”

"That's what you said? Okay, I know you don't want to make a big fuss, but there's something we can do, right? White is starting to complain, his position is definitely not in place, his form has become very bad, and we have Heywood who can replace him, his position is something we can move, don't you want to trade him for whom? There is still a lack of tall men in this league. ”

Seeing Jordan's somewhat moved look, Collins continued: "Our salary space has just passed the basic line, we have space to operate, but we have to determine whether to make a small fuss, or really pursue whom, I heard that New York has put all the players on the shelf, as long as the price is right, the fringe players of other teams, in my opinion, are also promising, don't you want to be impressed?" ”
