Chapter 93 (92) New Piston?
"Although we won the last game, we are still behind. Please have a clear understanding of this." At the regular pre-match mobilization meeting, Tomjanovich said: "In this game, the Pistons can afford to lose, but we can't afford to lose. Everyone must do their best, do every detail well, and fight every ball."

"The turning point of the last game was in the third quarter. When the point difference was chased to 4 points, Chauncey went on the court to use the pick-and-roll to shoot three-pointers or score outside shooters. He quickly opened up the point difference. After the Pistons chased points were eliminated, they no longer constituted a real threat." At this time, only Wang Yuanfei was able to interject in the entire Rockets.

"So should we try to play more three-point tactics?" Tang Shuai nodded, but still politely rejected the proposal: "We will try to do this, but since we won the last game, the starting lineup will not be adjusted."

Yuan Fei also nodded in agreement.It is a sound choice not to make major changes just after winning the game, and there is no problem from the perspective of sports law.

On June 6, Toyota Center Arena ushered in a long-lost game.Many home fans played the slogan "game18". If the Rockets win this game, the Pistons will completely lose the initiative.Larry Brown certainly didn't want to see such a result, and he made corresponding adjustments.

The game started, and Yao Ming won again with a jump ball. After Billups got the ball, he failed to find a good opportunity under the pressure of Bodi Loga.

"At the beginning, the athletes' physical fitness was very good, and their defensive strength was particularly high." Barkley explained: "This time is a test for the offense of both players."

Chauncey didn't have a good passing route and could only give it to Gerrard on the outside, who missed a strong three-pointer.But the alert Chauncey stole an offensive rebound between the two Wallaces and handed it over to McGrady on the outside to reorganize the offense.

McGrady lucked to the right wing and turned to back singles against Prince. He turned back and crossed the baseline to cut in, and Da Ben surrounded him.Yao Ming hurriedly pulled back, intending to create space for McGrady to pass the ball.This pull did not help on the line, and was still blocked by Da Ben, but it interfered with Bodi Loga who was in front.He moved two steps in the direction of Yao Ming to try to cut off a possible pass from McGrady, but Billups ran back and missed the opportunity.

McGrady scored the ball to Billups on the outside, Bodi Loga failed to keep up in time, Chauncey made a three-pointer and scored! The Rockets scored the first goal 0 to 3!

Under the tight defense of the Rockets, the Pistons didn't get any good opportunities.Seeing that there was not much time left, Bodillo stepped up his three-point shot and hit the net 3:3.

"What an answerball!" Kenny Smith also praised.

The Rockets still relied on pick-and-roll offenses. After the Pistons insisted on switching defenses, Okur became a single player with the ball. Although the white magician can be called the tallest and strongest point guard in the league, he is still far behind the Turks in terms of physique.Okur's shot caused a foul and made two free throws.

Bodi Loga's breakthrough forced the Rockets to shrink their defense, and then they were assigned to Hamilton who was open on the outside. The latter made a three-pointer and hit 6:5, and the Pistons took the lead.

"It's rare for the Pistons to even score 2 three-pointers." Yuan Fei said in surprise, "But it doesn't matter, Hamilton's three-pointers are not accurate, and it's nothing to score once in a while."

Yao Ming missed inside singles, and Da Ben protected the rebound.Back from the attack, Bodi Loga hit the Rockets again and failed to gain a foothold, but missed a layup under Okur's interference.Daben succeeded in grabbing the rebound, and made another dunk and hit 8:5.

"No, the Pistons' pace is too fast." Yuan Fei finally found out that there was a problem. "According to their previous style of play, Bodi Loga must have slowly controlled the ball, and the others ran without the ball to find an opportunity. Now they just rush up and play. So their success rate of attacking is very high. We only successfully entered the position with the first ball and defended well, and we were all caught off guard!"

The Rockets on the field didn't realize this, and Billups was also excited, dribbling the ball to speed up and pass the two of them, and then rushed to the basket and stuffed it to Yao Ming.Yao Ming easily made a small throw.

"Speed ​​up and return to defense!" Tang Shuai reminded loudly from the sidelines.

Only then did the rocket generals react and quickly ran to a defensive position.On another look, Bodi Loga dribbled the ball unhurriedly and handed it to Rashid for a single.Okur defended well, but Rasheed turned around and made a jumper, and still made a steady 10:7.

"De Young's reaction is really fast, he is really a defender that makes me satisfied." Larry Brown thought to himself.He was also a star when he was young. He was selected to the All-Star team of the ABA League three times and was also elected as the MVP of the ABA All-Star Game.When he was young, he was known for his calm playing and sharp passing. He once contributed 23 assists in a single game.After becoming a coach, he successively coached Reggie Miller, Allen Iverson and other star guards.But the successor he was most satisfied with was this black Sailor who hadn't been in contact for a long time. "I had already calculated that the team pushed the rhythm at the beginning, and the Rockets were caught off guard. I didn't expect Tomjanovich to react so quickly, and soon discovered that our rhythm was different from the previous games. And De Young was even better. He adjusted the rhythm without my command. In the final analysis, our team's ability to be fast or slow also depends on De Young's super control ability."

Yao Mingqiang hit the basket and caused Da Ben's foul, making 2 of 1 free throws.

The Pistons accelerated their advancement again, but the Rockets players were very focused and quickly returned to their defensive positions.Seeing that there was no chance, Bodi Loga still suppressed the rhythm and organized.After several rounds of passing, the ball was handed over to Prince.He pulls up a long mid-range shot, and McGrady's defense is in place and almost seals his face. Prince missed the ball.

McGrady dashed from left to right, reached the three-second zone and attracted three double-teams, and was assigned to Okur from the outside line. Okur then turned to Billups in the bottom corner, and there was a large open space within four meters that was unguarded.Chauncey calmly aimed and shot, the ball scored! 10:11 The Rockets overtook the score.

"How did this ball create such a big open space?" Barkley wondered.

"It's McGrady's personal ability that is too terrifying. Although he hasn't scored a point in this game, his offense with the ball completely disrupted the Pistons' defensive formation." Smith gave a reasonable explanation.

Bodi Loga also used his personal ability to create a good opportunity for his teammates. After his European step passed Gerrard to attract Yao Ming to fill in, he was successfully assigned to the low-post big Ben.Big Ben made a field goal, 12:11.

The Rockets showed no sign of weakness, McGrady hit a jumper, and the scores of the two sides rose alternately at 12:13.

Big Ben served the ball and made a long pass, and Rashid ran over to receive a pass from Bodi Loga and directly attacked the basket and hit the basket.The Pistons played another unexpected fast break.

Tang Shuai finally called a timeout, ready to make substitutions and adjustments.

Larry Brown laughed. He had basically figured out Lao Tang's substitution routines in the previous games.The substitutions at this time are basically Jefferson, Turkoglu, or Bosh.Yao Mai will always be the next one to rest.Houston's bench is good, but the Pistons have already seen through your cards, so just make moves!
