The Overlord of Basketball: 2K Possession

Chapter 370 Speed ​​Up

The Pistons are definitely one of the strongest teams in the Eastern Conference in recent years, not only because of last year's championship, but also because of their record in recent years.

From the Eastern Conference lore in the 02-03 season, to last year's championship, this record is estimated to be comparable only to the Spurs.

Last year, the Heat were eliminated by the Pistons in 7 games.

The Heat know very well that if they want to rush out of the East, they cannot bypass the Pistons.

Count on other teams?
Don't think about the Bulls for the time being, although O'Neal can guarantee the team's bottom line.

But Wade still needs to grow, and the team also needs to strengthen, so don't think about it in a short time.

As for the Pacers, they had a good chance, but a battle at the Palace of Auburn Hills directly defeated them.

The Pacers are currently unable to protect themselves, and may even be pushed directly to reconstruction at any time.

Therefore, relying on other teams to defeat the Pistons is not as good as the Heat themselves.

Since the Heat lost to the Pistons last year, the idea of ​​​​building the team is also aimed at the Pistons lineup.

Chen Mo moved to shooting guard, naturally to target Hamilton, both of them are good at playing without the ball.

There is also the introduction of Gary Payton, also to limit Billups.

Don't look at Gary Payton's old age, but after all, he still has defensive experience, and he can still target Billups.

After the entire series, Billups and Hamilton were particularly uncomfortable.

No, today Chen Mo and Gary Payton are fighting like chicken blood, constantly targeting them.

Once the series is played back to Detroit, the situation will definitely be reversed.

To be honest, the Heat at that time couldn't compare to what they are now, whether it is spirit or toughness.

Therefore, the Heat have the determination to win from top to bottom, and must resolve the battle today.

"Di!"

Rasheed Wallace's strong attack caused Haslem's foul, and he scored the first point for the Pistons through free throws.

The Heat want to end the series at this point, but obviously, the Pistons are not willing.

From the first quarter, the intensity of the game between the two sides was quite high, and it can be said that an inch of ground was not conceded.

The Heat wanted to open the score, but soon, the Pistons were able to pass the defense and fight back again.

Indeed, the Heat's lineup is somewhat aimed at the Pistons, but the Pistons are the defending champions after all.

It is obviously impossible to completely strangle the players of the Pistons. Whether it is Billups or Hamilton, it is not made of mud.

No, the Heat's substitute came on, Antoine Walker made a strong attack, and the score was about to be opened.

Hamilton immediately stood up and made consecutive mid-range shots, firmly maintaining the point difference.

Chen Mo broke out suddenly and hit three-pointers one after another. Billups on the other side also responded with color.

Even Big Ben came to join in the fun.

First blocked Antoine Walker's layup, then grabbed an offensive rebound and put a layup.

At the end of the first quarter, the Heat led by 23 points with 18:5.

At the end of the half, the score was 48:44, with the Pistons trailing by 4 points.

This is the resilience of the championship. No matter how hard the Heat attack, they always have a way to deal with it.

"Yeah, we played really well, guys, I'm so proud of you.

You know, this is the defending champions, and we've cornered them.

Next, what we need to do is to continue to work hard, and the defending champion will also fall at our feet. "

……

"Great job guys, you defended the first half.

4 points?It's just two goals, we can do it, don't forget, we are champions. "

……

At this point in the game, although the technical and tactical aspects are important, they are no longer the most critical.

After all, by this time, the two sides are already very familiar with each other, and they know every move very clearly.

Pat Riley and Larry Brown are more concerned with spiritual things, especially willpower.

At this time, whoever can persevere and fight more resolutely will have the advantage.

At the beginning of the game, the Pistons took the lead in attacking, and all positions were watched tightly.

Hamilton kept moving around, but he couldn't get rid of Chen Mo.

Billups had to hand the ball to Rasheed Wallace. Facing Haslem, Rasheed Wallace finally felt old.

In desperation, Rasheed Wallace had to return the ball to Billups, and now, the attack time is less than 5 seconds left.

After a little adjustment, Billups shot directly, and Gary Payton had already prepared.

"Di!"

No one knows which will come first, tomorrow or the accident.

Gary Payton may have wanted to do a good job of defending this round too much, and he blocked it a bit too much, and directly touched Billups' hand.

foul!

More than that, the basketball drew a standard parabola in midair and fell steadily into the basket.

"Shh!"

Four points!
You know, the Heat are only leading by 4 points, and Billups tied in one fell swoop.

"Gary, cheer up, this round, we will fight back."

Seeing that Gary Payton was a little frustrated, Chen Mo quickly reminded him that he is an old player and cannot have such a mentality.

"Ok, no problem."

Gary Payton was only slightly frustrated, regretting his defensive action just now.

However, as an old player, he naturally knows what to do and what not to do now.

And Chen Mo also did what he said, facing Daben through the pick-and-roll, and hit a mid-range jumper.

50:48
Rasheed Wallace missed the mid-range, and Brad Miller also failed to score with Big Ben's defense.

The two sides seem to be caught in the rhythm of grinding defense again. To be honest, this is not friendly to the Heat.

Although the Heat have adapted to the Pistons' style of play, they can even win through critical moments.

But the problem is, this is not the Heat's winning mode.

"Gary, we can't drag the tempo down like this, we have to play fast."

"I know, but..."

It's not that Gary Payton doesn't want to play fast, but every time he speeds up, the Pistons will defend desperately.

Even, he has already made two mistakes, just to speed up, leading to a double-team battle with the Pistons.

The Pistons naturally know that they can't let the Heat pick up the rhythm, they just want to grind a little bit.

The competition is so fierce that sometimes the rhythm is very important.

The Heat's ability to adapt to the Pistons' game rhythm does not mean that the Pistons can also adapt to the Heat's rhythm.

"So, I need your help.

Later, I will try to appear in the opposite half, I need you to pass the ball to me. "

That's right, this is Chen Mo's plan.

Since every time he speeds up, he will be watched by the Pistons, so he simply skips this process.

Chen Mo went straight into the Pistons' half. As long as Gary Payton can pass him the ball, there will always be a chance.

"No problem, Chen, you just wait to catch the ball!"

It's a really cool idea, and totally worth trying.
