Chapter 126: The piston is dying, and the magic is standing

Billups controlled the ball to the front court and did not rush to attack.

He's a person, if he is allowed to play fast attack, he may not be able to. -- In the draft, he was drafted by the Celtics, who were eager to revive, and the head coach at the time was Rick Pitino, a man who advocated fast offense and free play.

Be the absolute core of the team and have the right to handle anything on the field.

If it's Steve Nash and Jason Kidd, it's absolutely ecstatic.

But Billups faced the "temptation of power", lost himself, wanted to play on the field but didn't want to play by himself, thought he could pass the ball, and felt that he could actually shoot the ball......

The hat of "Parallel Traders" was soon put on his head with his poor performance.

He then moved to the Timberwolves, where he got consistent playing time and had a mentor, Terrell Brandon.

It's a two-time All-Star.

Following in the footsteps of this old man, Billups gradually found a balance between individual offense and organizing a tandem team.

It has also formed a style of play that is now its own.

A "panacea" No. 1 position that has both offense and defense, binds the team, and can play with and without the ball.

It may not be too explosive to score, but if you want to overwhelm Billups' team in terms of the pace of the game, it will be almost impossible.

Right now, for example, the Magic team is going to get on the ground.

Billups immediately pressed the tempo and directed the team to run and land without arrogance or impatience.

With 14 seconds left, he handed the ball away.

Hamilton went around a Pistons-designed tactical cover on the right side, received the ball smoothly, and the shooting feint failed to fool Bogans before moving the ball on.

Following his butt and moving beyond the three-point line, Prince catches the ball, throws the ball in a "trebuchet" shooting stance.

Turkoglu was a step too late and watched the ball fall into the basket.

8-5!

Stylistically, Tekoglu's worst defensive is Prince's off-the-ball wing.

He prefers the romance of fist-to-flesh.

The Magic still didn't have the brains to hit Turkoglu, and the "Turkish agent" noticed that Rashid Wallace on the other side didn't make up for it in time.

As for McDyce, he was already pulled outside the three-point line by Lewis, and the two of them "grinded tofu".

As he walked inside with Prince, he turned around, took a step inside, and completed the crackling button with one hand.

The posture is a bit like the "old man lake skylight".

But it's a good goal.

7-8.

Returning to the defensive end again, the Magic's entire perimeter is getting used to the Pistons' offensive rhythm.

This is also one of the more obvious shortcomings of Billups.

He can quickly find the most suitable attacking style according to the team's daily training routine.

But it's only in these sets.

It's a bit reluctant to expect him to deliver whimsical, imaginative passes.

Seeing that there were no good chances, Billups didn't stick to the ball either, and quickly handed it to Rashid Wallace, who took a high shot to receive the ball on the left.

The Pistons have two players on the bonding team, like the Magic......

Billups can't, and "Roaring Heavenly Venerable".

Against Howard, observing his teammate's movements, Hamilton was in front of him, and as soon as Hamilton got in front of him, he quickly hit the ball to the ground and gave it to the front with great precision.

"The Mask Man" made a mediocre air-cut layup.

has been with "Boss Joe" for two years, although he has not practiced the ability to hold the ball, he can cut the basket or something, which is a piece of cake.

It's just that the ball has just been served on the table, and the ball has just left the hand.

A Tigger appeared out of thin air, slapped the ball away, and lifted the table.

Here it comes!

Howard's iconic "volleyball hat".

Director Zhang said "Hey", "This Howard!" ”

Hamilton also felt like he was playing basketball against the Hulk.

This monster!

Turkoglu took the ball from Howard's fan, controlled it twice, and didn't rush to the fast attack, but ......

Observe!

When he saw that the person running in front was Li Wan, his little hand shook, and the ball "fluttered" in front of Li Wan's eyes, so he took it, ran forward two steps, and completed the crackling buckle with one hand.

9-8!

The score is overtaken.

When Li Wan returned to defense, he pointed at Tekoglu from a distance.

"Point forwards" are probably tall, have long arms, great strength, good vision, and generally have a very good ability to pass long distances.

The Turks are no exception.

Seeing the opposite side more and more comfortable expanding the margin to five points, Pistons head coach Philip Saunders called a timeout at 8:15 of the first quarter.

But he didn't make any adjustments, just swept his eyes over each starter and said a word; "I think you can feel that this team is not the same as last year. It's time to show our attitude and show them why we've made it to the Eastern Conference Finals 5 times in a row! ”

Although the Pistons have nothing to do with Sanders, he can pick Larry Brown's "peaches", and naturally he has his ability.

The head coach of the Timberwolves in the 03~04 season is him.

When he came to Detroit, he quickly gained the trust of the players.

Later, Dumas dismantled the "Five Tigers of the Commoners" and took him out first, and then began to vigorously rectify them.

It can be seen that at this time, his weight in the team.

If he is a woman, I am afraid that the bank cards of the "Civilian Five Tigers" will be in his hands at this time.

In the first round of the restart, everyone on the Magic team could feel that the Pistons' entire offense was more fluid than it had just been.

At the end of the first quarter, the Pistons successfully erased the score difference.

28 to 28.

Looking at the score, Li Wan had to admit that this Pistons team was really difficult to play.

Just now, the Magic team was already on the rise, but after a timeout, the offensive momentum was immediately contained, and the defense was also pierced by the Pistons' offense.

However, also because the intensity of the opponent is here, the first quarter is tied and acceptable.

Li Wan had 4 points and 2 assists.

Only 2 shots.

That dunk on the breakaway dunk not only scared Rashid, but also made the entire Pistons defense need to keep an eye on him at all times.

In this case, Li Wan's focus is on containment.

Since the Pistons are not a one-shot opponent, he must save his fitness for more critical times.

In the CCTV-5 studio, Sun Zhengping looked at the Pistons team that had caught up with the score again, and instructed Zhang: "What do you think the Magic team should pay attention to next?" ”

Director Zhang cleared his throat and said, "I think so!" The biggest problem that the Magic team needs to solve right now is the problem of switching offense and defense! Why? You see the opponent banging, bangbangbangbang, easy to play easy basket, timing, spaergy......"

Sun Zhengping pretended to understand Yazi at first.

When he got to the back, he really stopped Bengbu and interrupted: "Okay, let's take a look at the winning audience in the first section!" ”

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Magic had an Arroyo on the bench, the only one on the Pistons bench who could make a move...... It's Rodney Starkey.

Yes, it was the same Starkey who confidently replied "Of course it's me" when asked "who is the best rookie between you and Lee Wan" in the preseason.

From the moment he entered the regular season, he gradually disappeared from the media view.

When it comes to the playoffs, no one even remembers.

At this moment, when he came on the court, the reporters on the sidelines remembered, oh, this little newcomer seems to be in the same class as Li Wan, and he also had some scolding battles in the preseason.

But that's all, no reporter wants to use this as a gimmick.

With Li Wan's current fame......

Unless Starkey kowtows to recognize him as his father, otherwise, it is impossible to have a "rival play" with Li Wan.

Li Wan also remembered at this time:

Oh, and Starkey is on this team too.

To say that he is really in conflict with this team, from the newcomer Starkey to the old man Wallace have contradictions with him.

Now think about the time when Wallace suddenly opened fire on himself......

Could it be to help his little brother vent his evil anger?

Well......

With the style of Hualaishi, it is really not impossible.

But whatever!

That's it!

After a year of training, Starkey has made some progress, and in any case, he is the person who was later won by the Pistons for two years, and the potential must be a little.

It's that in the face of Arroyo, he is somewhat immature. The Magic snatched a two-point advantage in the bench rotation.

It's not easy, the Magic bench isn't very good, and it's rare to score during the bench rotation to do it in this game against the Pistons.

When Starkey came off the court, he was glared at by Sanders fiercely.

The main force is back on the field.

The ball belongs to the Pistons.

Billups controlled the ball to the frontcourt, Hamilton cut to the basket on the right side and flicked it to the left, and Billups scored two points and dropped the knife.

He has the ability to pass and assist, averaging 4.2 assists per game in the regular season.

It's just that......

In the regular season, Hamilton usually lays up and finishes by himself.

This pass was completely Howard's volleyball cap in the first quarter that impressed him.

The score difference was tied again.

30 to 30.

The Magic still played in the first quarter, with Turkoglu holding the ball and giving cards to Li Wan on the wing at the top of the arc, and Li Wan broke through the basket to Howard.

"Warcraft" turned his head and was about to buckle, but Hua Laishi actually covered the ball face to face.

This guy's arm span is much longer than Howard thought.

The ball fell into Billups's hand, Yu Guang glanced at it, and immediately held the ball to face Li Wan and forced a breakthrough.

Billups is a rare "magic ball play" in this era, and he can be understood as the James Harden style of this era.

The main style of play with the ball is based on breaking through and shooting outside the three-point line.

However, he didn't bring out his characteristics at all in this game. His figure is relatively strong compared to others in the No. 1 position, but when he meets Li Wan, who has a height and arm span of the No. 3 position and is not weak against him, it is a little unsightly.

Unable to get rid of it, Billups turned around with Lewan, turned his head and threw the ball outside the right three-point line that he had just glimpsed in the afterglow, and it was Prince with a long arm.

The trebuchet smashed the ball into the basket steadily.

2 three-pointers!

That's not what a player averaging 36.4 percent from three-point range should be.

You can see how easy it was for Tekoglu to throw tonight.

The Pistons took a three-point lead.

Tekoglu shook his head helplessly.

Turning around and slamming into Prince hard, "The Little Prince" showed his ball quotient and immediately fell to the ground when he noticed that he was about to hit hard.

Tekoglu offensive foul!

This foul immediately stimulated the nerves of the fans at the scene, and the cheers filled the entire stadium in an instant.

Prince was pulled up by his teammates.

The big screen on the scene gave a close-up.

As if the protagonist was in focus, there was no expression on Prince's face, as if he had done nothing, and the cheers of the audience were not because of him.

This is the Pistons' "Civilian Five" Prince.

Synonymous with modesty and low profile......

So......

During All-Star Weekend, it's not for nothing that the "Pistons Five" left you alone to repair your car in the "Motor City"!

You're jumping around twice!

Look at Hua Laishi, still put that call!

No one noticed that Li Wan took advantage of this gap and didn't know what to say to Bogans next to him, who looked stunned and nodded stunned.

Obviously, what Li Wan said to him again, something that was not within his comprehension.

But because it was Li Wan who said it, he did it.

The Pistons attacked, and as Billups signaled, the Pistons ran in an orderly manner.

The ball shifted to McDyce's hand, and just as he was about to make a shot, Bogans next to him ran over and slapped him to ruin his shot.

McDyce: ???

He could feel that Bogans was coming for the foul.

Don't ask, it's the innate instinct of those of them who don't shoot free throws.

He also ......

That's right!

What Li Wan said to Bogans is to pay attention to McDyes, if he gets the ball, he will foul!

"Wheat Chopping Tactics"!

It's coming!

It's a strange thing that McDeis, who has some shooting ability, doesn't shoot very well from the free-throw line, averaging 67.4% per game in his career and only 63.5% this season......

Such a guy is too suitable to pull out and "cut twice" at such a time!

The strength of the Pistons was a bit unexpected by Li Wan.

After such an offensive and defensive performance in the first quarter, the second quarter was able to increase the intensity at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and in these two rounds, the Magic team did not score a point, but let the opposite side score 5 points.

Stan Van Gundy didn't adjust, and Li Wan had to do it himself...... Calling someone to "chop wheat" to give Stan Van Gundy some ideas.

McDyce is also really face-giving.

If you dare to "cut me", I will dare not enter.

Both free throws bounced off the frame......

Howard collected the rebound.

Director Zhang gave a high evaluation: "The Magic team earned this foul!" ”

Stan Van Gundy also had a thoughtful look on his face.

He vaguely seemed to have some tactic in mind!

Once again, the Magic were on the offensive end.

Li Wan's off-ball running began to cut the bottom line.

This action is a signal in the daily training of the Magic team, which means that Li Wan wants to come out and end this shot.

Stan Van Gundy has also stressed that once the team situation does not open, give the ball to Li Wan.

The Magic had failed to make it on three offenses before, and now, that was the moment.

Tekoglu and the rest of the Magic team should also immediately cover the cover, pass the ball.

Billups was smart enough to run around the inside circle of the three-point line, which eliminated the possibility of Lee Wan cutting to the basket.

Li Wan simply stood outside the three-point line on the right side.

At this time, the buffs on his body are: a strong heart badge that increases the effect by 4%, and a +3% status of "The Little Prince of Reverse Blues".

With his three-point shooting ability of 64 and two buffs, he barely reached 69 points, almost a 70-point starter, which is not bad.

Therefore, after receiving the ball, he did not hesitate at all and pulled up the ball.

The ball came up with Chopin's "Nocturne" on the basket, but it eventually fell into the basket.

It's dangerous!

But in!

The score is tied.

When Lewis came back to the defense, he said if he could give me a chance.

This time he wanted to chop the "wheat".

After all, this is his counterpoint.

Li Wan disagreed.

Sorry, you're at the heart of the offense!

Bogandhi nodded approvingly, stretched out his hand and pointed at him, the core should have the core of Yazi!

McDyce showed up at his shooting point with a bit of luck, and Bogans was faster than Cao Cao, rushing in front of him and slapping him again.

"Smack!"

Needless to say, it's crispy!

The key is that it's full of spicy flavor!

Bogans slapped twice, and McDice's hand holding the ball was shaking.

"Boom!"

Another sound of iron.

Stan Van Gundy also seemed to come to his senses, and after McDyce made the first free throw, he immediately took Bogans, who had committed two fouls, off the court and replaced him with Kenyon Doolin.

This player is not well-known, but he has a lot of experience as a veteran...... Well, he just came up to chop "wheat"!

McDyce is angry.

Take two deep breaths before taking a shot.

"Huh!"

Entered!

After missing his fourth free throw in a row and missing all three of his first three shots, McDice hit his fourth free throw.

A heavy sigh of relief.

There were also cheers of encouragement.

Everyone knows how difficult it is to miss the first three penalties and the fourth to miss.

Let's just say that Anderson of the Magic team in the last era, with a 70% free throw shooting rate, there were four consecutive free throw misses.

Not to mention that McDyce's free-throw shooting percentage is only around 63%.

Sun Zhengping said: "This Rashid Wallace is really a big heart! ”

Director Zhang didn't think about it: "Yes! ”

Yu Jia: "???? ”

Li Wan dribbled to the front court this time, and the flank asked to pull away.

If he doesn't score in the last attack, he may still play without the ball to find his form.

But now that you're in, you just have to be confident!

Billups was afraid of his breakthrough, and he didn't stick close, but this old fox was really experienced, Li Wan deceived him many times with his eyes, and this guy didn't move, just staring at him like this.

If you can't deceive, then don't deceive!

Li Wan simply let Howard come up to block and dismantle, hold the ball and exert force, and successfully bypassed, although there is still one step away from the free throw line, Li Wan does not plan to continue to break through, but shoots two points long.

When he fought Menglong, he tested it, and this can also activate the "Classical Zhongtou Art" badge.

The first two badges lit up, and Li Wan's own mid-range shooting ability of 71 came to about 75.

Rashid Wallace didn't expect Li Wan to be so decisive, and the interference formed by the pounce made the "classical art of pitching" badge easily ignored.

Solid mid-range hits.

The Magic overtook the score and led by 1 point!

"Hey, man, you've got to come up again and hurry up...... I'm not saying you can stop me! ”

"I mean, that's what people say...... Oh. That number 36 worked hard enough! ”

Li Wan shouted at Hua Laishi to retreat.

There was a little bit of silence at the scene, and it seemed that his voice was a little bit louder.

Starkey, who was sitting on the bench of the Pistons, had a complicated expression, in the preseason, he was still the object of media comparison, and after a season, he couldn't even see Li Wan's heels.

On the field, who is "Roaring Tianzun"? Can people point their noses at and scold like that? The appearance suddenly became irritable.

As a manager who knows him very well, Sanders did not hesitate at all and immediately called a timeout.

The game was stopped by Li Wan!

He scored 5 points in a row, and when he got off the court, he asked his teammates to take the initiative to lean over and high-five him.

Stan Van Gundy's white chubby face also had a smile on his face.

Fragrant!

It's so fragrant!

This newcomer is fantastic!

Director Zhang was also in the studio, summarizing the few rounds before the pause: "Anyway, it's right to give the ball to Li Wan." The Pistons can't stop him at all! ”

Obviously, Li Wanzheng is gradually joining the "reasonable package" guided by Zhang.

This time, however, his analysis was fairly unbiased.

Because......

The Pistons' coaching staff really couldn't find a way to limit Lee.

Before the start of the series, because of Li Wan's outstanding performance in the first round, his breakthrough was the focus of the Pistons coaching team.

It can also be seen from the round just now that after Li Wan bypassed the block, Rashid Wallace did not post it at the first time.

is afraid that Li Wan will suddenly accelerate and give Rashid in one step.

He's mobile, but he's not so good that he's racing against defenders.

The jump shot after blocking and dismantling was not common in the past when Li Wan scored with the ball......

But in this round, he did score with this trick.

So here's the problem......

Next, how to defend Li Wan!

Which area to focus on!

Scratching his head, Sanders turned his head to look at Starkey.

Everyone is a rookie in the class of '07.

You're still ranked higher in the draft than him.

Why is he so tricky!

You can't even play a rotation time?

Starkey pretended to arrange the towel, avoiding the hot look.

At the same time, I felt a little aggrieved: they couldn't prevent it, and finally blamed me, right?

The Pistons had to concentrate more defensive attention on him, and the rest of the Magic team, who had slowed down, took advantage of the opportunity to regain their touch and form.

The first half ended.

Tekoglu and others continued to exert force.

The Magic went into the second half with a 48-42, six-point lead.

Li Wan scored a total of 12 points in the first half, which was the same as Turkoglou and the highest score on the Magic side in the first half.

But Turkoglu knows very well that in terms of contribution, he is definitely not as good as Li Wan.

Because of Li Wan's 12 points, at least 8 points were scored when the Magic team needed someone to step up and score, and more often, he was contained.

In addition, Billups did not play well in the face of him, only scored 6 points at the end of the first half, although he handed out 5 assists, he can be the second most scorer in the Pistons regular season, averaging 17 points per game, if he does not stand up, it is somewhat unrealistic to expect Hamilton, who averages 17.3 points per game, to shoot the opposite side to death.

Billups also knew he didn't play well in the first half.

But Li Wan, who has long hands and feet, does limit his play a little......

There is another problem......

The guy apparently studied his scouting reports, specifically staring at his breakaways and three-pointers.

In the second half, should you try to try more mid-range?

A little tangled frowned, his individual scoring ability was average, and it was basically impossible for him to shoot a ball like Jr-Smith.

The reason why he has been able to stand up at critical moments has been repeated.

It relies on a mid-range jumper that is usually easy not to shoot.

When opponents get used to his breakaways and three-pointers, he can be a perfect surprise with a mid-range approach.

But it's just a surprise.

If you use it too much, it won't have such a good effect!

To use, or not to use, this is a question......

Sanders was also frowning as he looked at Billups' scoring stats in the first half, and he wanted the assistant coach next to him to go to Billups and ask him if he had eaten the wrong thing today.

This is obviously out of state!

"What kind of defense do the newcomers have in China!"

Sanders felt that the key to the Pistons' backward problem was found to be Billups, and he decided to wait a little bit to go in and ask Billups to step up his individual offense.

Let's open him up first.

Then bloom more!

Perfect!

Sanders wanted to applaud his ingenuity, and the assistant coach handed over a scouting report......

In fact, when Li Wan was in the NCAA, he was famous for his defensive ability.

In the regular season, some teams also tried to open up the situation from his point, but they were all stopped by him and called people to stop them.

This newcomer is especially good at calling people to defend! - Yes, that's the level of research in the playoffs, because a lot of stars can't limit themselves to the usual tactics, and can only come up with some ways to get used to it.

Sanders looked at Li Wan's scouting report......

It's not the first time he's seen it either......

But every time all eyes were on his offensive stats.

Also, a guy with 52 points in a single game, how can it be possible if he doesn't think about how to limit his shots?

At this point, he kind of found out.

Co-author......

This kid is all-powerful!

What a fucking baby!

Why can't I meet such a super newcomer?

Give him to me, I won't win?

"Cheer me up, those bitches across the street are shitting on our heads!"

Before returning to the court, Sanders rushed into the locker room and cursed.

He didn't say anything tactical changes.

Just yelled a few times!

But he knows that sometimes, for the Pistons, it works a lot more than tactical adjustments!

Stan Van Gundy is also banging on the tactical board and yelling:

"Guys, if we can lead in the first half, then we can continue to lead in the second half!"

"Remember, we didn't come to Detroit from Orlando, 1,400 kilometers away, to buy a car, we didn't want anything but victory!"

A bowl of "chicken soup" was served, and everyone on the Magic team returned to the court with enthusiasm.

We're really different!

It was at the end of the first half, and the thoughts that flashed through the minds of these guys as they watched the lead in the game.

The team that swept them 4-0 last year is six points behind after half-time tonight!

If we can do it in the first half, as the coach said, we can do it in the second half!

In the first round of the third quarter, Howard slapped McDyce with another volleyball hat.

I'm still showing off my shots!

This is not a red-light district, the inside line of the Magic team, it is forbidden to have nothing to do!

If you have the ability, just buckle one on my head!

Howard's excited shouts attracted Tecoglou's attention, and he gave Howard a rare ball to the inside, a flexible turn, and the "monster" in the excited state staged a basket turn that satisfied Ewing.

It's fast, it's fast, it's crisp!

Although it's not a hook shot, it's an inside line......

Who can detain and hook hands!

As long as the turn is beautiful enough, the hook hand can be practiced slowly.

8 points difference!

The atmosphere was somewhat dreary.

When the Pistons players returned, the more than 18,000 Detroiters who came to the arena tonight were cheering.

As soon as the results came up, it was the Magic team who scored first.

Some fans are already complaining.

Sanders heard it very clearly, but in the dressing room, he returned to the sidelines, but confidently put his hands around his chest and just watched.

He still has a lot of confidence in the guys on the field.

Again, the teams that have reached the Eastern Conference Finals five times in a row in the past are not so easy to collapse.

Their resilience......

It's more than anyone thinks!

Hamilton tried to make a shot from beyond the three-point line to chase the score.

The ball popped up with a "clang", Rasheed Wallace destroyed the rebound from behind "Warcraft", Howard watched the ball bounce back from the rebound again, and McDyce took the rebound against Lewis, and hit the second offense.

It's time to get started!

Sanders was keenly aware of the change.

Sure enough, when Turkoglu broke through on the flank with the ball again, Prince no longer let him advance easily as he did at the beginning, even if he still couldn't withstand it, but Turkoglou pushed more slowly to the inside, and each step forward, the amount of power required to expend more power.

"Smack!"

Focusing on advancing with the ball, Turkoglou didn't notice Hamilton's 'black hand'. - He just paid attention to Prince's long arm, this guy is really long!

"The Masked Man" slapped the ball off and made a successful steal.

The Pistons' fast break.

The Magic team defended quickly, and Wallace, who took the ball at the top of the arc and was ready to "deal cards", watched Hamilton go around to the basket and immediately gave the ball.

The Magic team's No. 2 and No. 4 positions successfully connected and completed the score.

Recovered another 2 points.

The difference is only 4 points.

The whining turned into cheers in an instant.

That's right!

This is the iron-blooded piston they are familiar with!

Stan Van Gundy looked at the Magic team that fell into passivity again on the court, and subconsciously glanced at Li Wan, in his opinion, this "sharp knife" had to come out to save the field again.

Li Wan also thought so, this round to the frontcourt, immediately called for blocking, mid-distance shooting, in the shouts of Director Zhang's "have", missed!

Hua Laishi, who pounced on him, said disdainfully: "Call, why don't you scream?" Do you think luck will always be on your side? Basketball doesn't lie! ”

The Pistons counterattacked very quickly, and another offense went smoothly, leaving the margin of two points remaining.

The atmosphere of the scene was more active, this wave of sudden 6-0 woke up the little Caesar Arena, and when Li Wan went to the front court with the ball, they kept shouting:

"Defend!"

"Defend!"

"Defend!"

Li Wan continued to shoot on his own, and Billups had been guarding him for so long, and it seemed that he had mastered some of his habits. Li Wan shouted to block and dismantle, but he still couldn't get the shooting space, so he simply buried his head and rushed inside.

"There it is!"

Director Zhang shouted.

Li Wan made a layup under the interference of Hua Laishi and missed the ......

Finish Liao finish Liao finish Liao ~

If Stan Van Gundy were Chinese, he would definitely have the sound of an ambulance in his head.

"Sharp knife platoon" Li Wan couldn't stand up.

He didn't know who else to count on......

Could Li Wan be blamed?

A newcomer has already stood up twice, you can't expect him to stand up every time, right?

Then he should add another zero to his annual salary.

"Phew!"

Stan Van Gundy sighed subconsciously, and a smashing basket on the court stopped the cheers and interrupted his sighs.

Second deduction!

From "Superman" Howard!

McDice just looked at the ball that was about to fly into his hand, was grabbed by Howard, and then smashed into the basket with both hands.

"Howard jumped so high!"

Director Sun used the most simple words to express his shock at Howard's bounce.

It's like praising a beauty, brewing for a long time, and finally sighing like "she's really beautiful", which can also make people feel how beautiful this woman is!

Of course......

It can also be understood that looking at this violent buckle like a tiger, I wanted to chant poems and give Warcraft, but Wei Ping has no culture, and his sentence is really high in the world.

The Magic stretched the deficit to four points again.

Howard happily returned to the defense.

The Pistons' side was unaffected, and with each other's cooperation, Prince hit another three-pointer!

He's a real god tonight!

So far, he's shot 3-of-5 from three-point range......

Li Wan no longer tried to shoot on his own, he felt that now was not the time to show the "Mamba spirit", Howard was obviously open, and Li Wan tried to find an opportunity to cooperate with him.

This is where the experience of the Pistons comes in.

They saw through Li Wan's intentions and cut off Li Wan's connection with Howard.

With a flick of his long arm, Li Wan turned his head to find Tekoglu.

The Turk "bent his bow" and responded to Prince's three-pointer.

"Hey, it's really in, this is the first one tonight, right?" Director Zhang saw Turkoglu score three points and turned his head to ask Sun Zhengping.

Sun Zhengping didn't look at the statistics, and nodded directly: "That's right!" ”

"During this time, Li Wan's hand is not very good, but he can still contain it, this opportunity is Li Wan's containment!" Zhang instructed, "The ball still has to be given to Li Wan, it is reasonable to play like this, otherwise it will be a blind fight, and the Pistons will seize the opportunity and may overtake the score." ”

Once again, the game was deadlocked.

Until the end of the third quarter, the Magic still led by four points.

However, this stalemate and the reason for maintaining the lead are different from the first half, the first half relied on Li Wan twice, and this time in the third quarter, it relied on the play of Tekoglu and a few of them!

Li Wan was very slow in the third quarter.

Out of 6 shots, one went in.

But Tekoglu and a few of them were happy.

In the first half, the Magic team led by 6 points, and although they were very happy, they also felt a little ashamed, because at the critical moment, it was Li Wan who stood up to save the team.

The three cores of them have been playing in the league for more than ten years together, but they didn't perform as well as a rookie in the playoffs, and they almost broke their thighs.

During the pause in the first half, Li Wan sat there wiping his sweat, and they sat next to him like pins and needles, and they didn't dare to look him in the eyes.

Right now......

They can finally sit on the bench with Li Wan and drink Gatorade without any burden.

Dude is helping now!

Stan Van Gundy pulled Lee Wan to the side before the start of the fourth quarter to talk to him and told him not to put too much pressure on him, and that victory is everyone's responsibility on this team.

And voila!

Look at the art of speaking after being kicked out of Miami!

High emotional intelligence: Winning is everyone's responsibility on this team.

Low EQ: Don't shoot too much, pass the ball more!

Li Wan never spoke back to the manager, especially when he knew that Stan Van Gundy was a very stubborn manager.

Moreover, from his point of view, it is not wrong, Li Wan is not in good shape, and it is indeed reasonable to let other people who are in good shape.

But what he didn't know was ......

Li Wanyou hangs!

He has already scored 7 goals, and he has conceded even more, about a dozen, and whether the ball goes in or not, the "Nerve Knife" badge is about to light up.

It's not that he doesn't trust his teammates and wants to be strong.

Judging from the situation in the first half of this game, Tekoglu's gang still needs a transformation, and their abilities should not have reached their respective peaks, take Howard as an example, so far there is no dunk, can this be the peak Howard?

The man who claims to be able to trade for LeBron alone......

It's not just that.

The opposite Pistons don't know that they have increased the intensity of the confrontation a few times, and looking at their appearance, it is estimated that they will have to increase the intensity in the fourth quarter.

Relying on the ability of these "incomplete people" alone, I am afraid it will be difficult to maintain this slight score difference to the end.

He should have to step up and save the team once.

So......

It's one thing to say yes, it's another to do it.

Scumbag......

How can any answer be sincere?

Stan Van Gundy couldn't be happier with Leewan's attitude!

I used to just see him outside.

Now that they have been working together for a while, Van Gundy has found that Li Wan is a good and obedient person......

But the needle doesn't poke!

"Bang dang!"

The "obedient" Li Wan missed a mid-range jumper when he came on the court.

Fortunately, Howard grabbed the offensive rebound and completed the second offense.

Stan Van Gundy: ......

First of all, rule out the possibility that Li Wan will not listen to him.

Because Li Wan is really obedient.

Be polite and hygienic......

That's probably what I'm talking about?

Well......

That's my problem!

When Stan Van Gundy was "self-reflecting," the Pistons went on offense.

Billups and Hamilton crossed a run from beyond the three-point line, and Billups, who faked the ball, deceived Leewan

Bogans switched defenses and ran over the latter to force his way in.

The ball was given to the bottom corner, and McDyce hit the shot with ease.

It's smoother!

Back on the defensive end, Li Wan carried the ball to the scene, and everyone on the opposite side kept a distance of about ten centimeters from his defender, sticking very close.

Obviously, the defense is going to be toughened again.

Turkoglu held the ball, and after scoring that three-pointer in the third quarter, Prince had to get closer.

As a result, the breakthrough of the "Turkish agents" became irresistible again.

If Prince wants to resist Turkoglou, the premise is to stand firm, and he doesn't have the time to move so closely.

The formation was broken, the ball was thrown to the outside, and Li Wan took it and threw it.

Stan Van Gundy's body shook a little as the ball was shot.

Director Zhang was extremely confident: "There is!" ”

Yu Jia watched the ball pop up again, couldn't help but glance at him, and said in his heart: "What else?" You've had 9 times, and you've only scored 1, so there's really no more. ”

He felt that it was mainly Director Zhang who shouted no......

Wallace yelled for the rebound, and stealthily pushed Howard before jumping, successfully protecting the rebound.

Howard, who was played a shady trick, was very upset and kept complaining to the referee.

Seeing that the referee ignored him, he still had the intention of walking over.

This kid's temper is coming up again, but at such a critical moment......

Li Wan hurriedly pulled him and dragged him back desperately.

It's still late......

Billups on the opposite side scored quickly.

The score difference is tied......

Stan Van Gundy hurriedly called a timeout and shouted at Howard first: "You don't have to win with the referee's whistle!" ”

took Li Wan aside again and talked alone for a while.

This time, his meaning is much more straightforward, let Li Wanduo break through the ball, and give full play to the advantages of the breakthrough.

Li Wan nodded without hesitation.

Stan Van Gundy thinks it's okay now.

"Wait a minute, I'll attract the referee's attention, you rip off his pants!"

Li Wan looked at Howard, who still felt angry, and gave him a move.

Howard's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Li Wan deliberately commanded loudly to attract everyone's attention, and approached Billups, so that all the referees had to pay attention to his side, and the three referees on the field stood on the corner, near the middle line on the left and right sides, and one in the bottom corner on the right side.

That is, the left side is empty.

Howard took Wallace to the left without a trace, paying attention to the eyes of the referees on both sides, and when he was sure that they were all looking at Li Wan, he directly moved and pulled Wallace's shorts to the ground.

Looking at the white flowers......

A strange excitement suddenly appeared in my heart.

Well?

I'm rough!

When Wallace felt someone take off his pants, they had already been taken off.

Quickly pulled it up, turned his head to find the initiator, looked angry, and reached out to grab Howard's collar.

Li Wan broke through the basket at this time and brought his eyes over, and when the referees' eyes noticed Wallace and Howard, Wallace happened to grab Howard's collar.

In view of the name of "Roaring Heavenly Venerable".

All three referees blew their whistles almost simultaneously.

Without even watching the replay, a technical foul was given.

Hua Laishi excitedly rushed to one of the referees: "He picked my pants, didn't you see him picking my pants?" ”

The referee gave him a cold look: "Are you going to eat another technical foul?" ”

"You ......"

Who is Wallace?

The King of Tricks!

As soon as he heard this, he was about to run away, and the other four people of the Pistons hurriedly ran to grab him.

"Winning games is more important than anything else!"

When Billups shouted this sentence in front of him, his mind cleared.

Right!

Can't let the Magic win!

That's the main thing!

can make "Roaring Tianzun" calm all of a sudden, which shows how much he wants to defeat the Magic team!

That bitch newcomer!

And those guys are defeated!

There was absolutely no way he would let this gang step on him......

Li Wan felt a little pity, thinking that this time he could send Rashid Wallace away.

I didn't expect to just eat a technical foul......

Fortunately, a technical foul can also get a free throw opportunity.

Most importantly, Howard's anger went out.

Look at him, how white the big white teeth are!

This wave is not a loss.

As for Howard's pants, what should he do if he was seen by the referee......

Li Wan remembered that Artest took off Pierce's pants at that time, and the referee did not blow the foul...... Apparently it is possible to think that it was accidentally dropped.

Intense exercise!

It's normal to take off your pants!

Li Wan took the free throw and threw the ball in steadily.

Howard came for the first time, and after this round, he liked Li Wan even more, and he felt that he and Li Wan could become an "OK" combination in Orlando!

Li Wan didn't know that he had helped Howard out his breath, this guy actually wanted him to be "Pippen", otherwise he would have to sigh: In these years, it is difficult to be a good person!

It was still the offensive round of the Magic team, Li Wan shouted to block the demolition, and Howard quickly stepped forward with a resolute attitude that he had never seen before and made a very good quality pick-and-roll.

Li Wan bypassed the cover and made a quick shot.

"Bang dang!"

Damn!

Haven't you tuned the whole feel of the free throw just now?

There's another person who scolds "special" in his heart, Stan Van Gundy.

No......

Why did this guy vote again?

Let him pass the ball more, didn't he hear it?

Wallace protected the rebound and glared at Howard coldly.

Howard replied with a grin: "It's so white!" ”

The provocative tone made Hua Laishi almost can't help but run away again.

Luckily, Billups came to him in time to ask for the ball, which brought his attention back to the court.

Wow, isn't it okay yet!

Such annoying words were of course taught to Howard by Li Wan, but Billups could always appease this guy with a word.

The one who can persuade Rashid Wallace......

That's too little!

No wonder Billups left after that, and when Allen Iverson came, the rest of the team didn't pass the ball to Iverson and collectively messed up!

That's what Billups said!

However, if you want to say that this "Mr. Key" does have a hand in winning the hearts of his teammates.

The only season of Carmelo Anthony's career when he played "reasonable ball" and didn't value as much individual data was when he worked with Billups, and that year they reached the Western Conference Finals.

Well......

That is, next year.

"Let's score this goal!"

Billups went up front and made a rare opening to focus his team's attention.

Li Wan knew that this was mainly for Rashid Wallace.

This guy is indeed the "brain" of the Pistons.

When and what way to get his teammates into the game, he really knows too well!

The Pistons, who refocused on both offensive and defensive ends, successfully completed the offense, and the score was more than 1 point.

The cheers of the scene exploded like thunder on a summer night.

"Defend!"

"Defend!"

"Defend!"

The shouts are louder!

The Detroit people feel that from now on, the balance of victory will completely tip in favor of the Pistons.

Stan Van Gundy looked at Li Wan with a somewhat complicated expression.

This kid's feelings are a "double-edged sword"!

"Coach Anzay" believes that the Magic team's lead in the first half is indeed the credit of Li Wan; But the score is now overtaken in the second half, which is also caused by Li Wan's miss......

Actually, these balls, if Li Wan doesn't shoot, it is also unknown how many others can score.

But Stan Van Gundy wouldn't think so.

He felt that Li Wan's attitude was casual.

It's all Phil Jackson's fault!

Like his former teacher, he couldn't get used to this old man pretending to be a ghost, and Li Wan had obviously contracted a lot of bad court habits during his time.

Otherwise, he would have been stronger!

He felt that he needed to show the side of Yan Shi!

In this way, it is also for the good of this kid!

On the field, Li Wan didn't know about the change in the attitude of "Coach Anxi", of course, he would not be surprised that there was indeed a reason why he couldn't win the championship.

He found an opportunity to pass the ball inside, Howard got up but was pulled out, Wallace slapped the ball off his hand, Li Wan grabbed the ball first, and quickly shot the basket.

Miss!

Howard shouted and threw the offensive rebound down.

But his whole body was already surrounded.

"Pause, pause!"

Seeing that he was about to scramble for the ball, Li Wan immediately called a timeout.

Struggled to keep the ball.

Stan Van Gundy asked Li Wan to pass the ball again, and his expression was already very ugly.

Li Wan still nodded obediently.

Stan Van Gundy: ......

This means that you will admit it, and you will do it again next time, right?

This Chinese rookie's mouth, a deceitful ghost!

Stan Van Gundy didn't believe a word, anyway, he had already decided, as long as Li Wan still took action himself, he would scold!

Before Li Wan came on the court, he looked at his teammates, one by one, and the faces that had just been wiped with a white towel had only one word: tired!

The effect of the Pistons' gradual increase in the intensity of the confrontation is evident.

This kind of "boiled frog" style of slow "heating" will only make people feel more and more suffocating.

If this timeout returns to the court and the Pistons continue to increase their intensity and fight with their lives, perhaps the Magic will have to back down.

That's the old way of learning.

Li Wan also kept shooting just in case this situation occurred.

OK......

He caught up!

Li Wan said in a voice that only they could hear: "Guys, you have worked hard during this time, next, leave it to me!" ”

The three of them were slightly stunned.

But as far as Li Wan's data of 13 shots and 2 shots in the second half, they were more or less unconvinced......

But none of them said. The main Stan Van Gundy just pulled Li Wan aside to assign the task, and they thought that Stan Van Gundy gave Li Wan "unlimited firing rights".

In terms of his status as a "sharp knife platoon......

This actually makes sense.

That's why Li Wan didn't say it in front of Stan Van Gundy.

Otherwise, this fat man is not in a hurry?

Howard serves on the sidelines.

The opposing side really increased the intensity of the confrontation, and it became a little difficult to connect the balls.

Li Wan finally found an opportunity to catch the ball, used explosiveness to hold the ball to break through, and successfully forced Billups back when he reached the three-point line.

Without waiting for his teammates to finish running, Li Wan suddenly changed direction to the right side, plus a sideways move.

Pull it up and vote!

So far in this game, there has been no blocking, and Li Wan basically can't shoot from the middle distance.

Therefore, this shot was not expected by Billups.

On the badge wall, four badges are lit up at the same time.

It is the color of confidence!

Li Wanguo made a decisive move!

Stan Van Gundy couldn't hold back any longer: "F......"

Before he could shout the following words, the ball slipped into the basket steadily.

Pregnant!

Stan Van Gundy's tongue probably hasn't been so fast in his life, and as the ball goes into the basket, his pronunciation changes: "Fun! ”

β€œgood!”

"Lee!"

"Beautiful!"

"Well done!"

β€œnice!”

To disguise the weirdness of his first word pronunciation, Stan Van Gundy utters interjections in succession.

Li Wan nodded at him with a smile, and shouted back to the defense: "Come on, let these bitches on the other side see our attitude!" ”

The Magic regained the lead.

Li Wan's words ignited the desire of the gang to win.

The heart that wants to win was also hot before.

But now......

Burning!

"Phew!"

"Phew!"

"Phew!"

At the critical moment when the bayonet was red, Billups forced a breakthrough against Li Wan, and it was not easy to suddenly, but he finally forced a high-level jump shot.

Pregnant!

"Two points, from Mr. Key, Chauncey-Billups!

!

”

The commentary was high-pitched, but it was drowned out in the shouting of the audience.

More than 10,000 fans cheered for the team with their loud screams.

Li Wan calmly went to the front court and commanded Tekoglu to receive the ball.

Suddenly a forward breakthrough, in the confrontation with Billups, came to the free throw line, faced Wallace's supplementary defense, mid-range ......

YY

Again!

That's not a big empty seat!

can add the "nerve knife" badge, Li Wan's mid-range shooting ability has come to 82, plus 5% ignorance interference.

Almost 85 points of ability!

It's full again......

Maybe Rashid Wallace will have to pounce in front of him to interfere with the ball!

"I've already said it, save faster, otherwise it's so easy to get in, the audience will think I'm undefended!"

In Li Wan's scolding, the point difference once again became the Magic team lead.

Stan Van Gundy looked at Li Wan, who had hit twice in a row, with a dumbfounded expression.

Li Wan didn't give Billups a chance to break through this time, and stuck him to death.

Billups, who was moving all the way, simply passed the ball inside.

Wallace scored again with a "straight arm shot"!

Looking back, Li Wan still attacked on his own, and the Magic team stretched the entire defense line very wide.

Let Li Wan deal with Billups alone.

Stan Van Gundy's mind came up with his explanation for Li Wan, and he opened his mouth, but he couldn't spit out a word.

At the same time, another thought gradually occupied his mind......

It seems that now, it would be better to leave everything to Li Wan to solve!

"Huh!"

Li Wan withstood a defense that was one position worse than Loops and scored the ball!

It's in again!

"Rashid, where's your defense?"

Shh

Li Wan's shouting made Hua Laishi grit his teeth, and in the next round, he took the initiative and actively asked for the ball, but at this time, Li Wan smiled: "You may have forgotten something!" ”

Billups was thinking about how to create space for Wallace, and Li Wan's words made him stunned.

"Both!"

Then the referee blew the whistle again.

Lewis fouled McDyes!

Although he didn't have the ball in his hands, he had accumulated five fouls on both sides, and every subsequent foul had to be executed with a free throw.

"Chopping wheat" tactics......

Is it?

Not again?

Billups looked at Li Wan's expression of no surprise, obviously this was what Li Wan reminded him to forget.

As soon as he returned to the defense, Li Wan signaled to Lewis.

That's what he told Lewis at half-time.

Originally, Lewis had forgotten it, but when he saw Li Wan's gesture, he suddenly remembered.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

McDyce didn't feel very good in the first half, and at this moment, he was even more stressed at such a crucial moment in the game. The two penalties were not unexpected, and they both popped up in the frame.

Howard protected the rebound and quickly threw the ball captain into Li Wan's hand.

Li Wan attacked quickly, Billups and Hamilton quickly moved closer to him, and carried out "fishing nets" near the high position, but Li Wan didn't look at it before he reached the three-point line, and shot directly at three points.

At this time, although the "era of traditional centers" has gradually passed, throwing three points during the fast break is indeed not like a normal person's choice.

They didn't expect Li Wan's shot.

There was no interference at all, and he watched in a daze as Li Wan threw this three-point shot.

"Huh!"

Li Wan could even hear the ball scraping against the Nets.

Because the shouting that had just been left unattended at the scene stopped!

The Magic lead by four points.

Sanders called a timeout.

Howard excitedly signaled to Li Wan and had a passionate collision.

Although 4 points are not insurance.

But Li Wan is obviously soaring!

After this timeout, 9 points in a row!

Especially when Li Wan said those words to them before he came on the court.

It even made the Magic team think this guy was incredible.

Anyway, Tekoglu looked at Li Wan with shock in his eyes.

You know, this guy only scored 2 goals in the first dozen shots!

This guy ......

Is the heart really made of iron?

It's really possible!

After all, the badges provided by the four badges, although Li Wan's overall ability has been pulled to the "half-step all-star level", and the CIC has reached the top of the all-stars, but the psychological changes have not helped immune.

Li Wan needs to face the consequences of not making in......

But he still shot 4 of 4!

"You may have forgotten that Lao Tzu is a nerve knife!"

Li Wan stretched out two fingers and made a "salute" to the Pistons' bench.

One by one, the Pistons, especially Hua Laishi, looked ugly, but at this time, they were speechless.

They have a very serious problem to solve.

McDyce's free throw problem!

This problem is actually very easy to solve, as long as you change to the fourth position.

But......

Another No. 4 spot commonly used by the Pistons is Jason Markhill, who shoots 63.2% from the free-throw line, which is 1% higher than McDyes, but he barely played much in this game, and his hand is not necessarily hotter than McDyes.

The latter has been beaten a few times.

Stan Van Gundy also didn't know what to say, but he did understand why Phil Jackson would let Li Wan shoot so freely.

Because any restriction may prevent a miracle from happening.

For Li Wan......

As a head coach, there's only one thing you have to do......

That is, believe!

Believe in the man's ability to work miracles.

Looks like it's ......

He hasn't disappointed yet......

Well......

Stan Van Gundy didn't feel guilty for no reason, and really wanted to pull Li Wan to the small room and apologize to him: "Li Wan, there were a lot of people outside just now, and the coach knelt down for you, it's the coach who is wrong, and the coach apologizes to you......"

At the end of the pause, the Magic team continued to use the "wheat chopping tactic", which combined with Li Wan's "nerve knife", was simply a magic weapon to widen the difference.

Thanks to McDyce, it's good to have you in the game.

But the other side also reacted, and cut it, you cut McDyes, I cut Howard.

Little Caesar's Arena sounded the "Iron Symphony".

McDyce faced Howard, and when it came to free throws, he was really half-hearted.

The two sides are cut to the end......

The leading Magic team won the game by 5 points.

88 to 83!

The "Motor City" was captured!

At the end of the game, everyone on the Magic team almost clenched their fists and yelled.

The team that swept them last year and gave them nightmarish feelings has finally fallen at their feet.

Although, there are still three more wins to eliminate them!

Although, this first race proved that this was destined to be a tough series......

Can......

They are mentally prepared for the need for seven games to win against the Pistons!

To fight!

That's the battle!

Sanders looked at the score and gritted his teeth secretly, if he had reacted earlier, it would have been good to "cut Huo".

However, there is no one on the Pistons bench, and if it is really against the "cut", any one of the "Pistons Four Tigers" will get into foul trouble, and the combat effectiveness of this team will be greatly reduced.

This is also the reason why he didn't want to use "chopping Huo" at all.

Billups patted Wallace and told him not to look at it.

"Roaring Tianzun" has been staring at Li Wan and the people of the Magic team fiercely after the game.

In this game, he was a little aggrieved.

was taken off his pants again, he was scolded by his nose again, and then he lost the game in such a cowardly manner, the helplessness that he couldn't use was really bad.

But soon, he was even worse......

The reporter on the spot handed the microphone to Li Wan, the man who stood up to save the magic team several times tonight, faced the camera, word by word:

"The piston is dying, the magic is standing!"

"It's time to change the position of the person in the east!"
