Chapter 139: Promotion in sight

Date:2014-02-20

The Pistons trailed by three points with one minute left in the final game of the game, which was not good, so the Pistons would likely lose to the Cavaliers again in Detroit, and the Cavaliers would have a 3-1 lead

Billups controls the ball and slowly moves forward, the more you can't rush at this time, otherwise there will be a fatal mistake, Billups, as a veteran who has been in the NBA for so many years, certainly understands this reason

Billups didn't rush to attack after passing the half court with the ball this time, but first asked for a block and then gave the ball to McDice outside the three-point line in the process of lateral movement, McDies gave the ball to Murray Murray laterally and did not dare to shoot after receiving the ball, but hung the ball to Webber on the inside, Webber leaned on Gooden's back, although Gooden is that kind of soft inside, but it does not mean that he has no power, so Weber is difficult to rely on strength to eat Gooden alone

Webb leaned on it and then pretended to turn around and then put away the ball and jumped out, but Gooden did not lose his defensive position, so this ball Gooden went all out to interfere I don't know if Webber himself had a bad hand or Gooden's interference had an effect, Webb didn't throw the ball

Chen Jiyuan went to the card position when he saw Weber's shot, and tried his best to put Rashid? Wallace squeezed out of the best rebounding spot, and now is the moment of truth, and a single rebound could make the difference between a team's victory and defeat Rashid? Wallace certainly won't sit still, Rashid? Wallace is also trying his best to grab the position, but it is difficult for Rashid Wallace, who suffers in this regard, to succeed Chen Jiyuan is strong and active in grabbing rebounds, which is all the trick to becoming the rebounding king

When the basketball popped out of the hoop, Chen Jiyuan grabbed Rashid? Wallace before, successfully received this rebound, the time of the game is only the last 40 seconds, as long as the Cavaliers score this ball, then it is basically a stable victory, once that happens, the Pistons must carry out foul tactics, but the Cavaliers do not have Howard Chen Jiyuan's free throws, but they are very accurate, even more accurate than James, and the Cavaliers do not have obvious free throws to cut, so the Pistons' hope of victory is still very small

Chen Jiyuan gave the ball to James, and James slowly dribbled the ball through the half, now there is no need to make any fast attack, stability is the most important thing now

James was dragging his feet for time, and the Pistons didn't risk a bag or a steal or anything, and successfully defending the ball was the right choice for the Pistons

When there were only the last 7 seconds left in the offensive time, James finally moved, without any cover and blocking, James directly added a sudden addition, and passed the right side of McDyce, and Rashid? Wallace had to step forward to make up for the defense, although he knew that doing so was likely to give Chen Jiyuan a chance, but now he couldn't control so much, and he could only hope that James couldn't see it

But Rashid? Wallace's fantasy is beautiful, reality is cruel, James a high toss, the ball high past Rashid? Wallace's arm, when James' ball was tossed, Rashid? Wallace already knew in his heart that it was going to be bad, but there was no way to stop it, on the other side, Chen Jiyuan pulled up dryly, and after receiving the ball, it was a fierce and powerful heavy dunk 96:91

The Cavaliers had a five-point lead with only 23 seconds left in the clock

The Pistons are going to take a timeout, and at this time we must arrange our tactics well, Brown did not make substitutions during this timeout, and there is no difference in defensive tactics, or the possibility of man-marking Murray and McDyce is smaller, but it is not completely ruled out, so let Alexander and Hughes defend, and James defends the most important Billups interior defense There is no change, but Brown warned Chen Jiyuan, don't jump lightly, the Pistons are old guys with rich experience, Once you jump, the opponent will either make you foul or dodge your block to get an easy shot, and Chen Jiyuan nodded in understanding

After the timeout, players from both sides were on the field

Everyone knows the Pistons' tactic, which is to shoot a ball first, and then quickly make a foul play

Webb serves the sideline, on the run, Rashid? Wallace gave Billups cover with his life, so that Billups ran out of the gap Finally, with the help of double cover, Billups successfully got rid of James's defense, Billups received the ball without a trace of hesitation, directly outside three-point shot, James also rushed forward to interfere, but it was a lot slower However, although James did not interfere, Billups's three-point shot still did not hit the ball and popped out of the frame, because it was three points, the ball jumped far, and the rebound was grabbed by Webb, Webber also wanted to pass to Billups who was running, but James followed Billups on the side, sticking very close, Webber had no good passing opportunity, so he had to give up and give the ball to Murray, Murray didn't think much after receiving the ball, and the three points were thrown directly Unfortunately, it still didn't go in

This rebound, Chen Jiyuan didn't let him lose it, Chen Jiyuan jumped up, and firmly held the ball in his arms Rashid? Wallace had no choice but to foul Chen Jiyuan and send Chen Jiyuan to the free throw line

When Chen Jiyuan came to the free throw line, the audience was full of boos, deafening boos

However, Chen Jiyuan was not affected by this, and after calming down his mood, Chen Jiyuan still scored 98:91 in both free throws

With only 11 seconds left in the game, the Pistons trailed by seven points

There is no timeout for the Pistons now, no way, after the baseline ball was sent, Billups ran to the half court under Hughes's trouble, a hasty three-point shot, and missed again, the Pistons were completely hopeless in this game After this three-point failure, the Pistons also gave up the game, and the Cavaliers successfully double-killed the Pistons in Detroit

In the fourth game, the score was 98:91, and the Cavaliers were thrilling away from home, and James's table was very good today, scoring 33 points, and also had 11 assists and 6 rebounds, while Chen Jiyuan also scored 30 points, 16 rebounds and 5 assists, and Gibson was ejected

For the Pistons, Hamilton scored 22 points, but the injury is the key issue, Billups' play was still solid, and his double-double of 21 points and 12 assists couldn't help the team get a victory, and Prince was sent off for only 4 points, Rashid? Wallace scored 23 points and 10 boards, which was also remarkable

Now that the Cavaliers are leading the Pistons 3:1, the whole team is very happy, except for Gibson, now Gibson also knows that he regrets it, for the loss of control in the game, Gibson also feels impulsive, and he is very worried about whether he will be suspended

The next day, a report was written in the Cleveland newspaper -- "The Two Kings Score 63 Points, and the Cavaliers Are in Sight."
