Chapter 185: You Come and I Come

The Pistons played very smoothly throughout the game.

Tomjanovic is a coach who is used to giving the ball to the players themselves, and what he is better at doing is guiding the players.

However, because the Pistons have been trained by Rick Carlisle and Larry Brown, the tactics of the entire offensive and defensive ends have been very in place, as the "champion coach", this point, Tomjanovic can still feel it very easily, so since he took office, the Pistons' offensive and defensive arrangements have all continued the previous arrangement, but after his adjustment, the players' consciousness has risen, and the Pistons are now very active and active in cooperating with each other.

To put it more simply, they're a real team!

This kind of team doesn't say "I'm playing fine, my win/loss value is plus seven, I control the mistakes, that's what I care about the most!" ”

When a team loses, their first reaction is whether they have done better.

And when the team wins, they will always send the biggest praise to the other party at the first time.

In this team, there may be very few people who play very exaggerated and comprehensive statistics, but they belong to each other's support, and they will not travel in order to play better statistics for themselves.

Supporting each other and being strong together is the reason why the "Civilian Five" overturned the Lakers' "F4" in the summer.

That's why they're still strong.

It's not easy to beat a team like that.

So before the start of the game, Stan Van Gundy stressed to the team: "It's going to be a long 48 minutes, and it's going to be a war!" ”

Woody still pulled to the outside to catch the ball.

There is nothing wrong with the Pistons' ability to move on the inside, and even if Woody does move to the outside to catch the ball, he can't make a direct and effective kill like playing the Cavaliers.

But the problem is that Woody pulls beyond the three-point line to catch the ball, which in itself does not just directly turn the alignment into a misalignment, it also has another effect.

That is to allow Shaq O'Neal to form a 1v1 singles space on the inside.

Like now......

"Phew!"

With a loud shout, Shaq O'Neal turned around with all his strength to complete the strong kill under the basket, Ben Wallace raised his hands high, but watched helplessly as Shaq O'Neal completed the violent dunk on his head.

Wow, that's what you did to me, right?

Ben Wallace approached Woody and gave his ass a hard blow.

His biggest nemesis in this league is Shaq O'Neal, who is tall and strong, and takes all the advantages under the basket, which is not something that can be filled by positivity, this is a "natural gap".

It was this gap that made Ben Wallace the "Defensive Player of the Season" at best, and couldn't go any further.

Although this is better than most players in the NBA, there is always a gap with those top players, isn't it?

This is also the reason why the Pistons have not yet quoted Ben Wallace with a "10 million annual salary" contract extension.

Ben Wallace is a dutiful professional, but a professional has to live!

The "madman" is not as effective as Ben Wallace in any system, but his annual salary is high......

Ben Wallace became the breakthrough for the Pistons, which made Rashid Wallace change. When he needs to prevent it from going out, he needs to consider whether he should make up for it in time.

"Roaring Celestial" experienced Tim Duncan's struggles defending Woody at the time.

Fortunately, tonight's game just started, Woody's hand was average, and when he tried to take a step, Woody tried to shoot from the distance and missed, which made the situation seem less urgent.

In addition, the Pistons' backcourt "double guns" performed very well tonight, and quickly entered their own state, and the scoring momentum was very ferocious.

At 6:13 of the first quarter, the Pistons had a four-point lead on their home court.

For the Pistons, that lead is already huge.

Because it's still hard for other teams to score against them.

So far this season, they have conceded just 85.8 points per game.

The team that conceded the fewest points in the NBA.

Even the Suns, who are the most capable of playing this season, have not been able to score more than 100 points in a single game against them.

And so well, once the Pistons are a little better off offense at night than usual, the team becomes even tougher.

Stan Van Gundy called a timeout and called Wade in front of him, smiling more kindly than usual.

Wade also didn't download the "National Anti-Fraud APP", otherwise, he would have to ring the bell crazy at this time.

"Man, it's your stage, you've been doing well lately, but the media aren't paying enough attention to you, it's time for them to take your presence even more!" At this moment, Stan Van Gundy, wearing the black cloak of a witch, is afraid that he can play immediately, and it will not make people feel out of harmony at all.

Of course, unlike in the past, this time Stan Van Gundy is all about the facts, and he is not lying.

Wade is indeed the "key to victory" for the Heat to win tonight.

Especially after Woody has pulled Rashid Wallace to a high position on the inside, Wade's breakthrough is bound to increase the pressure on the Pistons' interior.

So......

Rush, Wade, no one in the world knows you!

In the name of Dwyan!

A slogan directly shouted Wade's cheeks more and more bulging.

After the pause, when he returned to the field, he broke out with a ferocious aggression, especially after taking the ball, facing Hamilton, he did not hesitate at all, and stepped forward with the ball and confronted Hamilton.

The Pistons' overall defense is solid, but from a local point of view, Hamilton is their point of attack.

Like all projection-oriented players, Hamilton is also skinny at the No. 2 position, or why would Stan Van Gundy think it's Wade's time!

Wade managed to rush to the free throw line in the confrontation.

There is one thing that Stan Van Gundy has not discovered, in the light of Woody, Wade, who has trained hard, is now increasing his grasp of hitting the basket, with his speed and explosiveness, as well as his understanding of footwork, after entering the basket, Wade's grasp of when to go to the basket is already the league's first-line level.

Seeing that Ben Wallace was slow to come up, Wade expected that he wanted to wait for Wade to get closer to the basket and take the next step, and then defend it when there was no change, so he simply jumped up first and glided to complete the score.

By this time, even Ben Wallace, who was full of mobility, could no longer defend himself.

"Phew!"

Violent buckle succeeds.

Wade immediately looked at Stan Van Gundy on the sidelines.

Seeing him blow up as soon as he came on the court, Stan Van Gundy was actually a little confused at first, he thought that Wade would be very good at this time, but he didn't expect this guy to be so explosive.

But when Wade looked at him, he just smiled lightly, stretched out his finger and pointed at Wade on the field, with a look of "I'll just say it", like his bastard master Pat Riley. But it also made Wade feel "fatherly love".

At this moment, Stan Van Gundy and Pat Riley completely merged in his heart.

Wade's performance officially began after this "split".

Stan Van Gundy looked at it with a relieved smile.

Wade has finally become the better player he had hoped, completed his second metamorphosis, and now he is a guy who can solve more problems in Stan Van Gundy's opinion.

In terms of strength, it is already an all-star level.

As for whether this season can be an All-Star in the end, it depends on the attention of the media.

Stan Van Gundy is slightly aggrieved by Wade, who is getting too much attention because of his two teammates now.

Around these two people, anyone will be dimmed.

He wondered if he could praise Wade more harshly in the future.

After all, this is a star cultivated from him!

What he didn't know was that in Miami, thousands of miles away, Pat Riley, who was watching the game, thought the same thing.

In his opinion, Wade is completely the star he has cultivated.

It will definitely become another masterpiece in his hands in the future......

Relying on Wade's play, the situation on the court changed abruptly, and the Heat team was no longer behind and beaten, but successfully overtook the backward score at the end of the first quarter, and entered the second quarter with a 28-25, 3-point lead.

Heading into the second quarter of the game, the Pistons still haven't found a good way to limit Wade.

Ben Wallace, who is mainly the core of the defense, is now "self-sufficient", and the other one of the "double Ben" is now also placed in a high position and cannot move, once these two are restricted, the Pistons' defense will immediately become less solid.

At least Wade will be difficult to restrict.

In the second quarter, he scored 8 points in a single quarter, plus 7 points in the first quarter, and Wade scored 15 points alone in the first half, shining all over the court.

The commentators of major TV stations were also a little surprised, none of them expected that the most shining person in this game was Wade.

At 50-44, the Heat's halftime lead came to six points.

As you can tell from their scoring, they crack the Pistons' defense very well.

It's just that the Pistons have also shown their resilience at this time.

At the beginning of the third quarter, even though Wade's performance was still very good, the point difference could no longer be opened.

Tomjanovic only set up a bit of the offensive end, giving Hamilton more attacking opportunities and asking his team-mates to keep playing the ball for him.

Hamilton is also in his system, showing his strength as a "mid-range shooting king", constantly hitting shots.

He was already feeling very good tonight, and now he is even more powerful.

However, the real killer trick only began to show in the fourth quarter.

Dwyane Wade, who was active on the court as the team's main offensive player from the second half of the first quarter, began to decline in offensive efficiency.

Reasons for the decline......

One is that Prince has figured out his offensive habits and started to play better defensively.

There is another reason......

In the process of chasing Hamilton, a lot of physical energy was consumed!

This is an oversight on the part of Stan Van Gundy, who has had no problems with the Heat on the defensive end tonight, who has always focused on the offensive end, and once Wade struggles with his offense, he needs to immediately change the way the Heat attack.

At the end of the day, he still didn't trust Wade enough.

He is guilty!

So much so that Tomjanovich's strategy of increasing Hamilton's shot percentage and using off-ball runs to consume Wade has been a huge success.

"This guy is here to run a long distance on the field!"

In Los Angeles, Bryant, who didn't play tonight, was watching the game and couldn't help but curse when he saw Hamilton gradually gaining the upper hand in the matchup.

Until now, he has not forgiven Hamilton.

His performance in the finals is indescribable, except for the "double book" for his supplemental defense, and his own strong desire to lose singles, it is in the process of chasing Hamilton that leads to the loss of a lot of physical energy.

The NBA's basically supergiants are "physical monsters", but that doesn't mean they won't get tired.

It's their faster physical recovery, coupled with the proper distribution on the court and the understanding of "stealing breaks", which allows them to fight until the end of the game.

But Hamilton's off-the-ball movement is partly a way to disrupt the defenders' habit of resting on the court.

One round or two rounds may not be noticeable, but over time, the problem will inevitably get bigger.

Otherwise, Kobe Bryant wouldn't have said something as angry as wanting to break Hamilton's leg.

As for Hamilton himself, he was born into a marathon family, and this way is his normal rhythm.

You may have vomited and he was just sweating slightly.

Wade's big trouble was solved.

The Heat's offense went into a brief period of stagnation.

In the final five minutes of the game, the Pistons successfully narrowed the gap to one point.

The whole situation instantly became more tense.

Wade was replaced at this time, this guy is too tired, and no matter how he is on the court, it doesn't make much difference.

Stan Van Gundy took Jones.

The ball was given to Woody at this point.

Woody was slightly limited in this game, but not by Rasheed Wallace.

Rather, it was felt by his own hand.

"Roaring Celestial" defended him in the same way as Tim Duncan, but Woody was able to hit mid-range at the time, and he hadn't made any mid-range shots tonight.

All 14 points were scored from under the basket.

But after getting the ball this time, looking at Rashid Wallace, who was not going to defend himself, he made a decisive mid-range shot, and the ball flew straight to the basket, and then fell straight in.

Entered!

Woody, who had not scored a single mid-distance in the game, scored at this most crucial moment, when the team needed someone to step up and score the most!

What is the "son of the key"!

And this is one of the essential traits to become a "supergiant"!

With a three-point deficit, on the Pistons' side, Rasheed Wallace went up to the high post and found Billups outside the three-point line on the wing.

"Mr. Key" received the ball and shot decisively, and the ball flew straight out and fell into the basket.

Tie!

After three and a half quarters, the difference between the two teams returned to the starting line. (End of chapter)
