At halftime, Barkley commented: "The Pistons are the best defensive team in the league, averaging 80 points per game in the playoffs, but today, the Nets were more successful defensively. ”

"I think the key factor is that the Nets have two swingmen who are not afraid to fight, who can defend inside and outside," Smith said. The Pistons lack a super scorer, especially an attacker with the ball. ”

The Pistons are called "civilians" mainly because they don't have superstars.

Billups is the best offensive man with the ball, which is Kidd's level.

The best player on the inside is Rasheed Wallace, who is currently averaging less than 15 points per game.

Hamilton, the Pistons' leading scorer, went into the playoffs and went wild, relying on running without the ball. When someone runs after him, his efficiency decreases.

Larry Brown emphasized tactics in the locker room, allowing players to add cover and movement and keep an eye on the defensive end.

He's a stubborn old guy who always believes that if the team plays the right way, everything else will be solved.

Old coaches of his age have some of their own little stubbornness, such as Nelson Sr. and Sloan. Nelson Sr. is okay, Sloan, like Brown, likes a set of tactics and fights endlessly.

In Brown's eyes, constancy helps a team win games.

So, every team he leads will be deeply marked by defense. He believes that when the team is training, the defense is strengthened, so the offensive level will naturally rise.

If you want to be aggressive enough, the physical fitness of the players is the foundation.

Brown has always emphasized physical training. He usually trains more than he plays, but not excessively. Outside of training, he has a good set of recovery methods. There is a guarantee of physical fitness. His team can always stay focused and be as accurate and efficient as they were at the beginning of the game.

The Pistons' offense was simple. is to block and dismantle, and many opponents are dragged down.

The Nets are not an opponent that can be dragged down by physical strength. It's even more of a dream to only block and tear through their defenses.

The lineup on the Nets is mainly anti-blocking, and in order to ensure mobility, Mourning was not allowed to play in the second quarter.

They played their own rhythm, grabbed the rebound and immediately fast-break, regardless of whether there was a defenseman or not, rushed forward and one-on-one with the opponent, and let the Pistons follow.

The Nets have a lot of people who can play, but not everyone of the Pistons can run.

Their problem was in the No.2 and No.3 positions, with Hamilton and Prince coming off alone. Both offense and defense have dropped significantly. It's like a remake of the last game, and the Pistons who couldn't score were the Pistons.

In the third quarter, the Nets did not cut Ben Wallace, and the Pistons of defense frequently hit the iron, scoring only 12 points.

The Nets led 65-49.

In the final quarter, Rodney, who came off the bench, gave the Pistons a heavy blow, and as soon as he came up, he hit a three-pointer in the bottom left corner to extend the margin to 19 points.

Then Jefferson grabbed the rebound in the front court, and the second offense was 2+1. 71 to 49.

The Pistons offense took turns shooting four people from the perimeter, and Big Ben grabbed rebounds inside.

Big Ben ran into Collins who didn't want a data card. No matter how good the strength is, it can't be.

Collins pushed him to the perimeter and let his teammates grab rebounds with others.

Except for Big Ben, the Pistons, including Rashid, are not very good at grabbing rebounds.

Except for Kittels, the Nets' important rotation players are very enthusiastic about grabbing rebounds. Especially Wang Jun. Defensively, he had to grab rebounds and then pass to Kidd to launch a counterattack.

The big defensive position and the fast attack are all very good. Brown kept him on the floor and played for a long time. More than 40 minutes per game.

But with the big book, the piston formation can't be completely stretched.

Zhang Li smiled: "Big Ben must be very depressed today. He was happy to attack the inside net team one-on-one, went out and was empty, it was useless to block the air cut, he couldn't receive the pass, he was finally misplaced, and the opponent would foul. ”

Yu Jia also smiled: "In the regular season, there were not many free throws. It's not that you get a lot of free throws because you don't shoot him, a lot of teams don't cut him, he doesn't threaten offensively. As a star center, he and Yao Ming are really incomparable. ”

Why can't it be compared? If the center of the Nets team was Yao Ming, he would have vomited blood from the Pistons. The efficiency of Daben's one-to-one defense against Yao Ming is always very low.

With 4 minutes left, the game entered garbage time, and Wang Jun and other main players were replaced early to rest and replaced with Korver. Only Jefferson played with a bench.

Mourning also played, did not score, and received warm applause from the fans in the stadium.

The Nets maintained their advantage until the end, winning by 21 points, 87-66.

Wang Jun played 40 minutes and did not score much in the second half, shooting 7 of 15 and 3 of 8 three-pointers, scoring 17 points and 12 rebounds, and winning a double-double in a row.

Five of the Nets scored in double figures, the Pistons had only two Wallace and Hamilton in double figures, and Billups scored just seven points on 3-of-11 shooting.

At the press conference, Lawrence hardened. "In the end, we can win in Detroit, and I firmly believe that the players will play well, and the Pistons are not without weaknesses."

The reporter asked: "Will you continue to let Wang Jun defend the low post?" ”

'It depends, Richard can also defend the low post, both of them are not afraid to fight, and I'm happy with the performance. We played more people than the Pistons, and the players shot better. The Pistons are short of swingmen and pitchers, and as long as we play the rhythm, we're going to win. ”

Lawrence seems to be quite honest on the surface, but he is actually a little cautious.

While saying that the Nets have a lot of players, it also implicitly satirizes Pistons coach Brown.

There has been talk of Milicic in the media throughout the season, and the show has never been able to play. After the Pistons entered the playoffs, Brown was obviously too rigid in his employment.

Then there's the problem of swing people, the Pistons don't have a qualified backup swingman at all, not one. Jo Dumas never seemed to think about strengthening the position.

Pointing it out, it puts pressure on the Pistons, indicating that the Nets are going to start with these weaknesses.

The reporter interviewed Wang Jun and asked: "You grabbed a lot of rebounds in two consecutive games, how did you do it?" In the regular season, your rebounding count is consistent. ”

Wang Jun replied: "Because the coach arranged for the whole team to grab rebounds, we cooperated very well on the defensive end, and if we didn't score the ball, we had to go all out to grab it." There's no secret, just give it your full attention. ”

The reporter asked: "You have played against Ben Wallace many times in the game, how do you feel?" ”

"It feels very good."

American journalists are a little confused by the term, and they don't use it to describe a happy mood.

Wang Jun explained with a smile. "It's just a lot of fun. I'm happy to play against him and show that I can help the team on both ends of the floor. During the regular season, there was very little mention of my defense, but now does anyone think that my defense is good? ”

In fact, against Big Ben, he suffered several elbows, and he was about to be injured internally, so he couldn't show weakness in his mouth.

He hates Big Ben and doesn't want to make the other person comfortable.

He is high-profile, and Big Ben will be embarrassed, and he will definitely be questioned if he can't eat hard all the time.

The reporter asked: "As long as you win against the Pistons, you will reach the Finals in the first season of your career, will you look forward to it?" ”

"I'm just looking forward to winning the next game." Wang Jun thought for a moment and replied.

Ryan Hughes often reminds him to be careful and think more so that he doesn't say things like "I'm already thinking about my next opponent." (To be continued.) )
