Lee Cheng hit two in a row, and the Pistons immediately made changes on the defensive end. Hamilton no longer defended Li Cheng, and the person who defended Li Cheng became Prince.

Hamilton has always been the biggest hole in the Pistons' defensive end, and he was asked to defend Li Cheng just now because Li Cheng has not started the mode of strong offense, and has been using off-ball running. Hamilton is also a master of running off the ball, so there should be no problem with his defence. But now it's different, Li Cheng obviously gave up running without the ball, so Hamilton can't prevent Li Cheng.

Billups is really getting older and more demonic, and his strength and experience allow him to completely limit Jack on the defensive end. Will it be inappropriate for the Pacers to fight the Pistons? O'Brien was thinking about it, but then he gave up thinking about it.

If the Pacers had picked up the pace of their offense, they could have died even worse. After all, if they want to fight back big and quickly, they need to have a very strong ability to protect rebounds inside. However, the Pacers' interior protection for rebounds is very poor.

It's true that Kwame Brown is a parallel trade, but that just means that he didn't play the price people expected, not that the kid didn't feel like he was under the basket at all.

He doesn't have confidence on the offensive end, but as long as he clubs on the inside, he's a meat shield that can't be pleasant. His movement on the defensive end and his ability to defend rebounds in the backcourt are the biggest reasons why he has survived in the NBA so far.

Rasheed Wallace has a poor ability to protect rebounds, and his peak season was just eight rebounds. However, Kwame Brown can make up for him, and Brown is still very good at protecting rebounds on the inside.

And sometimes Prince plays the No. 4 position, Wallace plays center, and Prince's ability to rush for rebounds is also very strong. However, in today's situation, the Pistons should not come up with their small lineup.

Because a small lineup means they have to speed up the offensive tempo, and the Pistons have to speed up the offensive tempo, which is exactly what the Pacers can't ask for.

That's when the Pistons began to rotate, even though it was time for the Pacers to chase points. The Pistons shouldn't be in the rotation, but their players are getting older, so what's going to happen next?

The Pacers replaced Jack with Ford, and they decided to speed up the tempo of the offense after Wallace and Billups were gone.

The Pistons can't do anything about the Pacers' rogue way of chasing points, and Wallace and Billups are both nearly 70 years old combined, and they just can't afford to stay on the court for too long.

Youth is the biggest asset, and the Pacers have a very young roster right now, and their impact and athleticism are very strong.

Granger hit a mid-range shot from the bottom corner, and then Hibbert hit a strong shot under the basket. The Pacers went on an 8-0 run.

22-21, the Pacers overtook the score.

Before this game. Larry Bird had a phone call with O'Brien, and Bird asked O'Brien to go to the lineup normally, and this game did not need to think about the development of rookies.

O'Brien knew that Bird had assigned him an assistant, and the task of developing young players should be handed over to the new guy, and a big stone in O'Brien's heart could be regarded as letting go.

After a frantic offensive run from the Pacers, they led the Pistons 31-25 at the end of the first quarter.

Li Cheng and Granger both played the first quarter of the game, and the two of them also combined to contribute 23 points in the first quarter, which made the Pistons speechless for a while.

The Pacers took the lead with the younger twins, and the Pistons' head coach looked at his veterans with some helplessness.

If Billups and Rashid Wallace can be 5 years younger. How could the Pacers be so reckless in taking advantage of the physical advantages of their young players to take the lead at the end of the first quarter.

In the second quarter of the game, the Pistons made a larger area of substitutions, and their lineup must be rotated, otherwise they won't want to play in Youju after entering the playoffs.

The Pistons were replaced with a very promising Starkey. This is a promising star on the Pistons, and the Pistons want this kid to take over Billups' class.

Starkey's physicality is outstanding, and his height of 196 allows him to regularly eat opposing point guards.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Pistons also took advantage of the absence of Li Cheng and Granger. Successive misplaced singles by Starkey succeeded.

Starkey hit three straight shots, and the Pistons' big man Mark Hill also hit two shots to score four points. On the other hand, for the Pacers, only Chanmos hit a three-pointer from the outside. The Pistons went on an 11-3 spurt. In an instant, the score was overtaken again.

The Pacers have made a lot of changes to their roster this summer, but they have so many young players on their roster that their bench depth looks like it's deepened, but in reality their bench is very fragile.

Lee Cheng and Granger only sat on the court for four minutes, and O'Brien had to put the two of them on the court again.

The Pacers' current lineup is still too dependent on the combination of Li Cheng and Granger, and the two of them occupy too much of the Pacers' firepower output. Almost all of the Pacers' tactics revolve around the two of them, and the Pacers' tactics seem very complicated, but Li Cheng and Granger do most of it.

O'Brien can't do anything about it, because the Pacers have too many rookies on the inside, and many tactics can't be fully implemented.

Seeing so many rookies sitting on his bench gave O'Brien a bit of a headache.

Although youth is capital, the Pacers' lineup is too young!

After Lee Cheng and Granger returned to the court, the Pacers instantly regained the advantage on the court. And on the field, Lopez and Ibaka have also found their backbone because of the return of Li Cheng and Granger.

In addition, Li Cheng also took over the possession of the ball by Qian Moss, and this kid was really miserable when he was bullied by Starkey.

Now Chanmos is mainly used as a battery outside the team's three-point line, and Li Chenglai organizes the team.

Lee Sung really has the feeling of being an All-Star in any position, and after he plays point guard, Starkey has nothing to do with his passing. And after Li Cheng came on the court, the Pacers seemed to be complete in an instant, and all the passes and runs were very reasonable.

Two minutes after Li Cheng came on the court, the Pacers took the lead again. And Li Cheng handed out 3 assists during this time. (To be continued......)
