I just want to lie down and win

Chapter 100 Swapping jerseys with Pippen, fighting against the Raptors (4000, please subscribe)

The Pistons lost one game, but quickly made up for it elsewhere.

On January 1, the Pistons were a guest in Chicago.

This time the Bulls Twin Towers came back one, and Huo Song played against Eddie Curry, but he had already blown Eddie Curry up in less than half a quarter.

Eddie Curry looked about the same height and build as Huo Song, but he had just returned from injury, and his bones were not strong enough, so he didn't dare to hit hard.

In addition, his pace is not fast, and his defense is average.

Therefore, being played with by Huo Song's sharper footsteps is like a toy.

It has to be said that Huo Song's agility is not bad in the first place. After training with Olajuwon for more than two months, he still has some results.

It's not as sharp as Meng Meng's footsteps, but the number of back movements is getting more and more natural.

Of course, what Huo Song wants most is not to learn the fantasy footsteps, but to get a layup bag or a dunk bag from Olajuwon.

Accessibility doesn't have a separate footwork package, but footwork is included in the offense package.

Huo Song is now only equipped with a Wiggins shooting bag. If he has Olajuwon's rebound or dunk bag, his strength will definitely be improved to a higher level.

However, the main thing that hinders Huo Song from getting his hands on Olajuwon is time.

Huo Song basically maintains the habit of singles training with Daben's wing every day, and in the past three months, Daben's defensive progress has reached 51.7%.

There is no doubt that if Huo Song works hard, he is still expected to have a full defensive package before the playoffs.

At that time, Huo Song will truly integrate offense and defense and become very terrifying.

Although Wiggins' shooting bag has an upper limit on offense and sometimes looks very hip, it also has a lower limit.

In the playoffs, the defensive intensity was strong, and there were not so many free throws.

Huo Song was able to score 16 points steadily by shooting. This is definitely the head player of the team who can take on the tough task.

At other times, rely on air cuts, tip-ups, transitions, and free throws to get a few points. The playoffs averaged 20+10 per game, which is absolutely awesome.

At this time, it is even more terrifying for a tall man with a net height of 213.5 to have a big defense.

Therefore, for Huo Song, the most important thing at this stage is to get Daben and Daben's defense package as soon as possible.

Closer to home, the addition of one more Eddie Curry to the Bulls will not change the status quo of weakness inside.

Huo Song was unstoppable on the inside, and Hamilton also shot from the outside. He made 5 of 5 shots in the first quarter, and Pippen, who came off the bench, was dizzy.

This season Pippen returned to the Bulls for retirement, Pippen did not have the bad temper of the past, but became amiable.

Although the strength is gone, it's okay to brag and lead newcomers.

This time the Bulls smashed the Pistons in the first quarter, and Pippen was also helping coach Scott Skiles to reassure people.

Later, during the intermission, Pippen took the initiative to find Huo Song.

"Excellent boy, do you know who I am?"

"The achievements of the Bull Dynasty, the top [-] superstars, Batman Scottie Pippen." Huo Song reported Pippen's name like a treasure, and Pippen laughed when he heard this.

Then I chatted with Huo Song about some things.

Even if the second quarter started, Pippen still wanted to pester Huo Song.

Seeing this, Larry Brown frowned, and didn't tell Pippen to go away bluntly. Instead, he forced Okur to replace Huo Song to play for a while.

Okur is not as fierce as Huo Song, but his performance is not bad.

The Pistons kept beating the Bulls, but Pippen had a great time chatting with Huo Song.

The second quarter was almost over, and Pippen just wanted to see him.

"I specially prepared a jersey of mine for you."

Huo Song heard the strings and knew the meaning: "Do I have the honor to exchange jerseys with you?"

"That's great, what a good boy!

The Pistons tortured us for a long time.

But I'm retiring soon!

If you have the ability, continue to torture us!Ha ha! "

Pippen's goal was achieved, and then he put on a posture that had nothing to do with himself.

After getting rid of Pippen's entanglement, Huo Song played another 4 minutes in the second quarter, helping the team consolidate the point difference at about 15 points.

However, after halftime and the game entered the third quarter, the situation on the field changed suddenly.

Kirk Hinrich suddenly found his touch and hit two consecutive three-pointers.

Immediately afterwards, Jamal Crawford continued his touch and scored another three-pointer.

The Bulls scored the ball in three consecutive rounds, and the three-pointers rained down, which made the Pistons look dumbfounded.

At this time, Larry Brown was more stubborn again. He stubbornly believed that three-pointers would not kill the game, but he almost overturned.

Fortunately, the Pistons know who can be relied on.

After Billups and Hamilton each missed a shot, everyone was trying their best to pass the ball to Huo Song.

It's not about letting Huo Song fight alone, but breaking through to the basket to create an easier offensive link for Huo Song.

Huo Song lived up to expectations and scored 3 goals in 2 rounds.

Greatly helped the team relieve the pressure.

Although the point difference was narrowed to 3 points in the middle of the third quarter, fortunately, the Pistons stabilized the situation by relying on the efforts of the players on the field.

Immediately afterwards, Billups shot a cloud-piercing arrow, and after making another three-pointer, the Pistons' touch came back.

Hamilton found the feeling of shooting in the first quarter, and even Prince showed his ability to beat the dog in the water and scored two goals in the open space.

In this way, after the third quarter, the Pistons opened up the point difference again, leading the Bulls by 9 points.

The game still looks suspenseful, but the fourth quarter of the Bulls is the most unreliable right now.

The Bulls who lack stars have no players who can really attack at critical moments.

Although Huo Song on the Pistons side does not yet have the ability to make a final decision, Hamilton and Billups can be reliable at critical moments.

This time, Huo Song's performance in the fourth quarter was not bad, after all, the Bulls were not good inside.

Although Huo Song's scoring was limited by making fouls, Huo Song scored 1 point and 1 point, which also made it difficult for the Bulls who were troubled on the offensive end.

After the whole game, Huo Song scored 24 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks.

After the game, Huo Song also ran to the Bulls near the logo of the home team as agreed before, exchanged jerseys with Pippen, and took a group photo.

What Huo Song exchanged was the jersey that he played today, and Pippen was a regular season jersey from the 98 championship season, with Pippen's autograph on it, which is more or less worth a little money, but it is not a bad treatment to Huo Song.

Because of the exchange of jerseys, Pippen also caught Huo Song's heat and was interviewed by the live media.

Of course, Huo Song did not suffer. Pippen praised Huo Song so much that he almost compared Huo Song to the next O'Neal.

When it was Huo Song's turn to accept an on-site interview, Huo Song could only reciprocate and boast about business.

What is the number one small forward in history in my mind? After Jordan left Pippen, he lacked the possibility of continuing to win the championship. Huo Song said such words against his will.

Pippen was naturally very satisfied, and repeatedly praised Huo Song for being sensible and smart.

Huo Song: As long as you are happy.

Anyway, Huo Song won the game, and he was naturally happy to sweep away the haze of losing to the Mavericks at home.

After the trip to Chicago, the Pistons and their team immediately rushed back to Detroit.

The next day, the Toronto Raptors came to challenge.

Although the Pistons are playing at home, they suffer from back-to-back schedules.

At the beginning of the first quarter, Billups shot a three-pointer as soon as he came up. I don't know if his legs were weak and he couldn't jump high enough, or his hands were weak and he didn't use his strength, so he directly shot a three-pointer.

Donyell Marshall at the basket caught the ball, and then the Raptors pushed for a fast break. Carter staged a one-stop fast break, and the death dunk Billups' annual drama.

Billups wants to return one, but the point guard backs the shooting guard, which is a bit stupid.

Billups invited Huo Song to come out for a pick-and-roll, and with the help of a screen and Huo Song to attract part of the defense, Billups shot Carter from a distance.

But this relatively good opportunity to make a phone call did not yield satisfactory results.

Billups hit another iron.

And because Huo Song hadn't made a move, Billups had already made a shot. When he rushed to the basket, Ben was surrounded by the Raptors' strikers, unable to control the offensive rebound.

Huo Song was also a little short, and could only sit back and watch the Raptors steal the defensive rebound.

Fortunately, the Raptors played a fast break this time and were defended by the Pistons.

Immediately after the Pistons played positional battles, Hamilton found a mobile phone opportunity, caught the ball from a mid-range shot, and scored the ball steadily.

The good times didn't last long. The Pistons had just set up their defensive posture when Carter suddenly shot a three-pointer from the outside.

In terms of achievements, Carter seems to be the worst of the four shooting guards.

But when it comes to the contrast between his debut and the end of his career, Carter is definitely the most surprising.

Who would have thought that Carter, a half-human, half-god who is flying to the sky, would be a famous three-point shooter for a long time?
As we all know, before Curry's abnormally accurate three-point shooter appeared, his three-point shooting percentage exceeded 40% in the season, and he could be regarded as a marksman if he averaged more than one three-pointer per game.

And Carter has 5 full seasons, meeting the conditions to become a marksman.

Someone ridiculed Carter, if Carter's physical fitness was poor, he might become the second Ray Allen.

Some people also think that Curry likes to dunk so much, it is hard to say that he has not been influenced by Carter.Even Curry's three-pointers were influenced by Carter to a certain extent.

Closer to home, Carter suddenly made a three-pointer. The Pistons didn't expect it. It felt like he was cut suddenly, and a lot of blood was drained in an instant.

The Pistons wanted to chase points, so Billups and Huo Song immediately picked and rolled. It looked like a repeat of the old trick, but this time it was Huo Song who made the shot.

Huo Song made an alley-oop dunk, but was destroyed by Lonnie Baxter halfway through.

During this period, the Raptors are also playing small ball, or the main striker group.

The speed of double-teaming inside and switching defenses was very fast. Huo Song's footsteps faced a group of strikers, and he couldn't take advantage of it.

Today, a small forward like Lonnie Baxter can start, mainly because of Huo Song's foul.

The Raptors knew that they couldn't defend against Huo Song, but why didn't they try to use the shark-slaying tactics against Huo Song?

Huo Song's free throw shooting percentage is much better than that of O'Neal, but the shooting percentage fluctuating around 70% is not necessarily that good.

In addition, playing ball requires rhythm and touch.

Huo Song occasionally shoots. If Huo Song is destroyed by the Raptors every time he plays a simple ball, to a certain extent, his shooting feel and offensive state will be fragmented.

As for the rest of the Pistons, because they can't touch the ball for a long time and often have to watch their teammates make free throws when attacking, even if they feel good for a while, they will gradually cool down.

And the Raptors have been playing in the icy and snowy environment all year round, and what they are most afraid of is cold hands.

"Donyell Marshall made 4 of 3 shots, the Pistons are in big trouble!"

"Yeah, Vince Carter was 6 for 5, it's no surprise that he was able to play such a good game.

He is an All-Star, he is one of the most shining stars in the league, and he has such strength.

However, Donyell Marshall and Jaylen Rose are shooting well, which puts the Pistons in trouble.

What the Pistons are best at is defense, but now it seems that the defense against the Raptors is not good enough. "

"The back-to-back schedule still has an impact on the Pistons. If you can't get back to the game as soon as possible, maybe you will suffer another loss today."

Insufficient physical savings and poor mental state have a great impact on the Pistons players.

In the first quarter of the game, the Pistons did sleepwalk on the defensive end in individual cases.

During the intermission, Larry Brown emphasized defense with the players in a scolding manner.

However, the status is very hard to say.

Concentration in the game can only last for a while.

When the point difference had just shrunk a little, there was another slack on the field.

Larry Brown had to put on a complete second team, removing all the starters.

At the home court of the Pistons, it is still very simple for the Pistons to form five more players to play.

Recently, the bench players have also played more time, of course, mainly in the garbage time of the fourth quarter.

But there is still a difference between playing with the ball and playing without the ball. Being able to always get the chance to play is a good incentive for bench players.

Under this kind of incentive, most players will play better and better.

After Larry Brown switched to the second team, because the physical problems were not serious, the players were all veterans, and the defense was relatively solid.

In addition to being a bit hot-eyed offensively, Larry Brown is still very satisfied in other aspects.

Relying on the defensive battle on both sides in the second quarter, the point difference between the two teams has not been widened.

After a half-quarter break and halftime self-cultivation, the Pistons starter finally found the game state they played before in the third quarter.

Because many players committed two offenses and three offenses in front, Huo Song finally had some chances to make shots in the third quarter, instead of using the shark-slashing tactic to restrict him.

霍嵩在第三节交出了7投4中，罚球4投2中，单节10分还算令人满意的答卷。

The Pistons and others were tinkering. Billups and Hamilton scored 9 points together, and Prince and Big Ben also contributed 5 points.

Although 24 points in a single quarter is not too much, the Raptors only scored 22 points under the limitation of the Pistons' true defensive level.

However, the Pistons won by 2 points in the third quarter, and did not fully recover the point difference.

Before entering the fourth quarter, the Raptors still had a 3-point advantage.

However, it is precisely this 3-point gap that makes it very hard for the Pistons to chase points.

The Pistons who hit the fourth quarter felt like they were running out of water and running out of fuel.

It is the fatigue accumulated back to back that makes the Pistons starters become weaker and weaker.

At the critical moment, the score was getting closer and closer, even with a difference of only 1 point. The Pistons' starting five could only grit their teeth and keep playing.

"Prince scored with a small throw, sorry, failed to score, and Da Ben made a tip-up at the last second!"

"The score is absolutely tied! The referee blew the whistle. Robert Archibald fouled Ben Wallace when he made a layup. Now Ben Wallace has another chance to add a penalty."

"But, can Ben Wallace really make a free throw? Can this free throw kill the game?"

I thought it would be a perfect tie for overtime, and the Pistons had exactly the same idea.

The last attack only lasted 12 seconds, and the sideline serve was suspended, just to score 2 points and tie the game, and then fight for a wave of overtime.

However, the layup that should have been scored was missed, but Daben suddenly stood up, made a tip-up and scored, and also got a 2+1 chance.

Although Big Ben's free throws are worse than O'Neal, but Big Ben has already created a miracle, so why don't you believe that Big Ben can do it again!
All the fans are looking forward to the fact that Ben can kill the game through free throws.

It's just a pity that Big Ben's free throws were the same as usual.

Because the game time has run out, there is no point in grabbing rebounds.

The game will soon go to overtime.

The Pistons had planned to play overtime before, but it was just a gamble.

With the real entry into overtime, the impact of the back-to-back schedule on the Pistons is reflected again.

In the 5 minutes of overtime, the Pistons only relied on Hamilton to hit a mid-range shot, Huo Song scored another free throw, and no one else could score.

The Raptors weren't much better, but Carter and Alvin Williams each scored a goal, and Jalen Rose also made a free throw.

The Raptors won the game with difficulty by relying on a 2-point difference.

The Pistons had just tasted some sweetness from the Bulls, and in a blink of an eye they were beaten by the Raptors again.
