"Goals are the answer" was pretty much the Pistons' motto in the first quarter.
In the case of using a 212 frontcourt press for the entire quarter, the Pistons played an offensive efficiency beyond imagination.
In the first quarter, he scored 76 points on the 33ers and only allowed the opponent to score 20 points.
"It's almost a replica of Game 6." Maurice Cheeks said pessimistically, "Will the defeat in Game [-] continue in Game [-]?"
212 The frontcourt press received miraculous effects. Not only did the 76ers not adapt, but they couldn't find a good solution for a while.
Pistons rotate methodically.
In the first quarter, Mo Mengchen, Hill, Houston, Ginobili and Ricky Davis played in turn.
In order to maintain the high intensity on the defensive end, Westphal used an eight-man rotation in the first quarter.
The opening lineup for the second quarter was Hill, Davis, Louis M. Lowe, Jerome Williams and Lewis.
Of the five players on the field, only one Lewis couldn't defend well, and the other four were all vicious tigers capable of beating hundreds of people.
Aaron McGee's offense caused Lowe's foul, and he will go to the free throw line.
No one thought that free throws became the most comfortable way for the 76ers to score.
The high-intensity offense and defense caused their physical strength to decline seriously. The Pistons have changed three or four sets of lineups, and they still rotate with six players. Except for Iverson, the other four starters are all on the court.
Once there is a free throw opportunity, their free throw shooters will always try to delay the time, let themselves and their teammates take a few more breaths, and get a good breath.
There is no rhythm to free throws, but if you actively delay the time, you will not find the usual feeling of free throws.
McGee usually shoots 77% of his free throws. He has a high probability of making two free throws, but now he misses one free throw.
21 is better than 33
When it was the turn of the Pistons to attack, Hill presided over the overall situation, Lore stood at the bottom corner, and Davis was responsible for becoming the second support point on the outside.
"This kid has changed a lot," Barkley said.
He was referring to Davis.Since being reprimanded by Mo Mengchen in the Christmas game, Davis has become a different person. He no longer asks for a starter and speaks a lot less. He only relies on his performance on the field to prove himself.
Whether it's to win the approval of his teammates or his determination to change, there are signs that he is more selfless than ever.
Even a guy like Lore who can't play at all, as long as he is on the court, he will try his best to create opportunities for the opponent.
Give good opportunities to teammates, and leave bad opportunities to yourself.
Hill broke from the wing, drew the defender in front of Davis to him, grabbed the ball with his right hand and threw it out of the three-point line.Davis has the ball, he has a chance to shoot, but he doesn't rush to do it, just looks like he's going to attack, forcing Lowe's defender to rush to help, and then give the ball to the end while the opponent is on the way horn.
At this point, the 76ers' perimeter defense completely collapsed, and Luo Erjing put an end to this perfect cooperation with a three-pointer.
36 is better than 21
"Tonight, every perimeter player in the Pistons scored points." Cheeks glanced at the roster and said suddenly, "No, no, rookie Michael Redd is on the active list tonight, but he hasn't Come out."
Of all the Pistons players, only three wore uniforms, and they were Barkley, Lauderdale and Reed.
Barkley is now in a semi-retired state, and it is not his turn to play in this kind of life-and-death battle; Lauderdale is useful except when he meets O'Neal, and is a mascot at other times; Unfortunately, he still doesn't have enough immediate combat power, his world-renowned shooting skills have not yet been practiced, and his defense can't be used at this time, so he hasn't played tonight until now.
Mo Mengchen doesn't care about Reed as much as he cares about Ricky Davis and others.Because Reed is a strong and self-motivated person, he basically reached his upper limit in his previous life. If it weren't for injuries, his peak period would have lasted longer.
For such a guy, just let him grow savagely, and in the competitive Pistons, he will make greater progress than in his previous life.
Sometimes Mo Mengchen can't help feeling that there is a real gap between people. If every rookie is as worry-free as Reed, he won't have so many worries.
At this time, Davis and Hill led the defense of the 76ers at the same time, forcing Eric Snow to almost make a mistake.
"The guy turned out to be a good player in the end," Barkley said.
"Good player?" Mo Mengchen agreed with Barkley when he watched Davis high-five Hill with regret and put all his energy into the defense of the next round.
Barely.
The 76ers are extremely uncomfortable with the mad dog-like frontcourt pressing of the Pistons. Iverson is not there, and the others are locked up. They can only rely on Duncan.
With Snow's shooting threat, Davis didn't pay attention to him at all. He was like a chicken thief like Mo Mengchen, and he would not leave his position easily unless Duncan launched an attack.
Duncan's offense is not like O'Neal's behemoth.
O'Neal's strength is the ultimate, strength and weight allow him to blast all single defenses; Duncan is the ultimate in skill, relatively speaking, his offense is not as stable as O'Neal's, because he needs considerable rhythm and space, when Davis to Inside double-teaming, passing is the best option.
But who can he pass it on to?
Snow who averaged 0.1 three-pointers per game?
Rather than pass it to him, it is better to take the risk of attacking.
Shi Buddha's selflessness has been praised by many people, but now he has made a choice that is not selfless at all. The cheers at the Wells Fargo Center almost made the retired jerseys on the roof flutter in the wind.
Duncan played 1 and 2, sneaking into the basket with deft feet and hitting cricket.
He not only scored, but also caused Lewis' defensive foul.
Although Davis' flank attack was ferocious, the referee was staring at him, and he didn't dare to make too many moves; Lewis' defense problem was not small. If he didn't make extra moves, he couldn't stop Duncan at all. At the home court of the 76ers, it is impossible for the referee to ignore it.
Duncan made an extra free throw.
24 is better than 36
Lewis' confidence was hit, and his teammates wanted him to find confidence, so they deliberately created outside shooting opportunities for him in the next round.
Tonight, Lewis' shots were as hard to watch as stinking durians.
With an open three-pointer, the 76ers scored a rebound and were about to counterattack, but were fouled by Lore.
Westphal immediately replaced Lewis, gave up the space on the court, and paired Williams with Ben Wallace, only seeking hard defense, not unrestrained offense.
The combination of Williams and Wallace shows that Westphal has given up running and bombing.
The previous five games have also proved that if they have been running unwaveringly, the 76ers can really beat them.
A team that can only play one way is too easy to target.
Mo Mengchen counted the time, Larry Brown had let Iverson rest for 2 minutes, almost.
A 2-minute break doesn't sound like much, but Iverson's average playing time in the playoffs was 40 minutes per game, and during the Eastern Conference Finals it reached an abnormal 44 minutes.
After a game, he may rest for 2 minutes.
As soon as Mo Mengchen thought of this, Iverson stood up from his seat, walked to the sidelines and stood, ready to play.
Seeing Iverson, Westphal immediately called out Mo Mengchen.
"Give him a little more pressure," Westphal said.
Mo Mengchen stood up, took off the towel from his shoulders, threw it on the bench, and faced the audience in the front row with angry, fearful, or anxious expressions. Like Iverson not far away, he stood on the sidelines waiting for the ball to die.
"The aces of both sides are about to play."
"AI and Dor.Mo, the two best defenders of this era."
The Phillies and New Yorkers will always call their ace and Momochen together as the best two guards.
For this reason, the fans of the two places fought a lot.
Penny fans have what Penny fans say, and Iverson fans have what Iverson fans have said.
The amazing thing is that they like to rank their own players and Mo Mengchen as the double pride, but when discussing who is the strongest, they always selectively ignore the latter.
Mo Mengchen was idly leaning against the billboard, if he wasn't worried about the bad influence, he would even want to sit on it.
In tonight's game, their defensive intensity will not stop for a moment.
Based on the score on the field, it will continue to expand, and the suspense of this game will not last until the last moment.
three quarters.Mo Mengchen looked at the score.
As long as three quarters, they will make this game lose suspense.
The Lakers have broken through from the West, but the Pistons are struggling. They need consecutive victories to maintain their confidence.
Is there anything more confident than killing the 76ers with Iverson and Duncan twice in a row?
Williams saw Mo Mengchen standing on the sidelines, determined to foul this round.
Since it is a foul, there must be a systematic foul.
He couldn't waste the limited number of fouls on someone like Snow, who was Jerome Williams?Although not as popular as the big guys in the team, others may not know that there is a tough guy named Jerome in the Pistons, and they should also know that there is an insider nicknamed Trash Dog. Even if you don’t know, just talk about the Pistons The team has a lunatic who likes to bark like a dog, and the fans will think of him immediately.
Trash Dog approached Duncan quietly, and when Duncan launched the first round of back attack, he immediately stuck up, snapped, and hit the opponent's arm heavily.
It was definitely a foul, and Trash Dog raised his hand to acknowledge the foul faster than the referee blew his whistle.
His rough foul made Duncan cry out in pain, covering his hands and breathing heavily.
Shi Buddha glared angrily at Williams who deliberately fouled, but the latter welcomed Mo Mengchen's return like a relative.
The Wells Fargo Center gave the loudest booing of the night to this act of violence.
"Don't be so violent next time, TD is a good man." Mo Mengchen said to him.
"Okay, next time I will definitely break his hand." Williams joked.
The talking and laughing between Mo Mengchen and Williams can easily cause the victim's misunderstanding.
Because Williams fouled, Mo Mengchen got to play.Now that he is still talking happily with Williams, Duncan will undoubtedly put this matter on Mo Mengchen.
The innocent Dor.Mo didn't expect him to carry another big pot for no reason.
