Doon opted to crouch in the bottom corner to create better scoring opportunities for the likes of Byron Davis.

However, on the Pistons' side, Hamilton also came early, playing half a quarter in the first quarter, shooting 4 of 5, and scoring 8 points on jump shots alone.

In fact, this has something to do with Doon, it stands to reason that Doon plays the second position and should defend Hamilton.

However, in order to save Doane's physical strength, the Bulls stood on the flanks on the defensive end, and generally focused on assisting defense.

Doon's defense is fine, but it's more about breaking, and it's the ball carrier who assists the defense, rather than a player like Hamilton who runs without the ball and catches the ball.

And because Billups, the big-hearted point guard, needed to be restricted, the Bulls sent Roel Deng to lead the defense.

In this way, the only person who can defend Hamilton on the Bulls' side is Byron Davis.

Byron Davis's defense against the ball is actually okay, but after all, he is a little too short, and he can't defend Hamilton, a two-meter-tall striker who wears shoes, so naturally he can't defend it all.

And tonight, Hamilton's hand was really good, and Billups was also able to use the pick-and-roll to attack from mid-range or beyond the three-point line.

The two guns on the outside of the piston were thrown, and the offensive firepower was naturally not bad.

However, the Bulls are not in too much of a hurry.

The Bulls' transition offense, as well as local four-on-three breakouts and passes, are also effective.

It is precisely because of this that even if the Pistons shoot from the outside, the point difference still cannot be opened, basically around four or five points.

By the time the first quarter was more than eight minutes into the game, Big Ben was out of the game, and Doon began to reach for the ball in the high post.

Seeing this, the Pistons players on the court immediately pinched Doon without the ball, making Doon unable to receive the ball.

And Tyson Chandler, who was originally going to cover for Doon, immediately made a cover for Byron Davis.

At the same time, the vacated Rohr Deng also quickly cut to the basket.

Antonio McDice, who came off the bench, was not as good as Ben, while Rasheed Wallace had to guard against Tyson Chandler and Josh Smith.

Antonio McDice had just faced Byron Davis, who passed the ball to Roel Deng, who had already rushed to the basket.

Roaring Tianzun chose to make up for the defense and jumped to block, but Luo Er Deng still scored the ball with excellent physical fitness.

The only good news for the Pistons of the round was that the referees didn't blow the whistle.

That doesn't mean the Pistons can breathe a sigh of relief, though.

You know, Billups and Hamilton had a good hand before, and the Pistons didn't extend their advantage.

Now that Big Ben is out of the game, the quality of the Pistons' interior defense has declined significantly.

The other four Pistons and Tigers played on the court for more than eight minutes, and they will all be replaced immediately.

If the bulls take advantage of this opportunity and blow the horn of counterattack, then the consequences will be unimaginable.

There is no doubt that for the Pistons, the next interior defense will be a more serious problem.

Normally, Doon runs from low post to high post, and the Pistons should be more on the perimeter.

However, Larry Brown has emphasized that Doon can't catch the ball and can't score, so the Pistons players can only choose to defend Doane at the expense of other defenses.

The Bulls' starting lineup is primarily focused on Doon, with others being better at scoring under the basket.

Big Ben's downplay is equivalent to lifting the seal on the offense of the other Bulls players.

And Byron Davis, as a point guard, also knows how to connect the team and help other teammates score better under the basket.

However, Byron Davis did not perform very well at the end of the first quarter because Hamilton was too good to run, and he consumed a lot in the first quarter.

In the Bulls plan, Doon was wrapped up in the high post, and Byron Davis should carry the offensive banner.

However, due to physical problems, Byron Davis at the end of the first quarter failed to play to the satisfaction of Scott Skeys.

So in the last two minutes of the first quarter, Ben Gordon replaced Byron Davis.

Without a qualified passer, the Bulls' spur and pass combinations are not as fluid.

However, Ben Gordon was okay tonight, hitting a three-pointer as soon as he came up.

Seeing this, Scott Skeyles then switched to Andres Nocioni to increase his outside shooting ability and open the score with a three-pointer.

By the end of the first quarter, the score was 26-28, and the Bulls had a two-point lead.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Pistons relied on Prince and Big Ben to lead the team, and Doon on the Bulls' side continued to play with the second team after playing the first quarter.

Seeing Doon continue to play, Larry Brown secretly said in his heart: "It's broken! ”

Looking at this battle, how can Larry Brown not know that Doon deliberately squatted in the bottom corner in the first quarter and deliberately stood guard at the top of the arc, just to save enough physical strength, and wanted to find an opportunity to travel off-peak and attack the substitute lineup!

was also worried that Doon would stand up and score and suddenly pull the difference apart, Larry Brown immediately reminded the Pistons players on the court: "Don't let Doon catch the ball, stare him to death for me!" ”

The Pistons players heard it, and so did Doon.

Dunn scoffed at this: "Lao Tzu runs without the ball, how can you prevent it?" ”

Doon didn't ask for the ball high because the high post would definitely be trapped.

If you want to shoot at the beginning of the second quarter, you have to play without the ball!

With Ben Gordon and Andres Nocioni's projections becoming more and more solid, the Pistons must not be able to ignore them easily.

And with the outside shooter helping Doon open up space, Doon has more room to run.

From now on, it is no longer limited to running from the outside, you can also cut to the basket in the air, or run to the sides with the help of cover, catch the ball and then kill the basket.

Because Dio was also in the roster at the beginning of the second quarter, he was able to pass the ball to Doon, who ran without the ball, by holding the ball at the top of the arc in the high post.

Dwan brought this group of bench bandits on the field, and he must be able to play an effect.

The Pistons think they know enough about the Bulls, but they are certainly unfamiliar with this set of offensive tactics and playing styles that are common with small balls but are relatively rare today.

Sure enough, after three minutes of the second quarter, the margin was stretched to seven points, and Larry Brown hurriedly called a timeout.

"Doon, this guy, pick on our soft underbelly!" Larry Brown sighed.

Although Big Ben only committed two fouls at this time, Doon's intention to catch the ball and attack the basket and make fouls was too obvious after Doon ran without the ball.

Doon played like this, obviously wanting to punish Daben.

As soon as Big Ben goes, Doon can continue to smoke in the bottom corner, or stand high and let the other teammates charge in front, and then retain his strength to close the game at a critical moment.

"Richard, if Doon continues to run without the ball, then you have to defend alone.

If Doon gets the ball in the high post, Tyshawn you just need to limit Doon as much as possible.

We don't have any more defensive resources to limit Doon, he's too hard to play smart!

Unless the Bulls are cornered by us, Doane won't play with the ball, and then it doesn't mean much to us to wrap up his bag.

Now if we want to beat the Bulls, we need to score more points in addition to being aggressive on the defensive end.

Doon is strong, but his teammates aren't strong enough! I believe we are the better team! ”

Larry Brown has had to acknowledge Doon's influence on the court, while also making sure that Doon is playing more experienced and mature.

However, Larry Brown firmly believes that the Bulls, which the Pistons could beat on their team last year, can still do this year.

However, there must be some adjustment in strategy.

Last year, it was enough to rely on defense alone, and this year we need to see the performance of the Pistons players on the offensive end!

The Bulls are a team with 73 wins, the highest team strength ceiling in the league.

Larry Brown knows that it's because of Doon, because Doon was too consistent in the regular season.

And in the regular season, Doon can play a lot of games like he did in the first quarter tonight, and let his teammates play first.

Doon is in good shape, because Doon has matured and become very calm!

Like a professional killer, you know when to exert your strength and when to lead the team to close the game.

Now, Larry Brown must break Doon's peace of mind and make Doon anxious.

And only when the Pistons open up on the offensive end and the point difference slowly widens, Doane will be in a hurry! The CBA teammates who are anxious about him, why are they so dish, they are not reliable at all.

Only when Doon couldn't help but attack with the ball, consumed a lot of physical strength, and barely maintained the score, did the Pistons have a chance to rely on defense and defend Doon as well.

"Chuck is right, it's hard to keep Michael, but it's not hard to stop the Chicago Bulls!"

Larry Brown recalled the trick Chuck Daley gave him a few days ago, if he didn't choose to be a bad offender against Doon, then treat Doon as Jordan......
