I just want to lie down and win

Chapter 58 The critical moment of the decisive battle!Save Private? (For collection, for follow-up)

After the intermission, the game of the third quarter came soon.

The main players of the Pistons went into battle, and the Kings could only stud directly and replace the entire starting lineup.

Otherwise, it may not be necessary to play the fourth quarter, and the Pistons will take the game away in the third quarter.

However, the status of Hamilton and Billups, who rested for more than half an hour, has not recovered.

Basically the same as the first quarter, Hamilton and Billups hit the iron one after another. You and I will go to Los Angeles in a few days to play against the little blacksmith and accumulate a lot of character.

Looking at the Pistons players who continued to attack on the court, John Hammond off the court was anxious like ants on a hot pot.

Only 4 minutes into the third quarter, the point difference has narrowed to 3 points. John Hammond had to call a timeout to stabilize the morale of the army, and then draw a tactic in an attempt to stabilize the defeat.

However, after a timeout, the tactics were only half successful, and the final opportunity appeared on the big itself.

Big Ben singled Doug Christie in the low post, forming a dislocation advantage.

Fortunately, Big Ben was strong enough this time. In the anticipation of the Pistons, he finally scored a layup and broke the scoring drought.

When things are extreme, they will be reversed, and if they are not extreme, they will come.

After the Pistons' offense started, relying on the defensive enthusiasm brought about by the offense, they then defended against the Kings' two attacks in a row. Now it's the King's turn to fail.

Although the Pistons only scored once, they stabilized the point difference to more than 5 points.

After that, the scores of the two teams lingered and rose alternately, and it was another round of iron-blooded battle.

During the period, John Hammond once wanted to replace Huo Song or Okur to help the team quickly expand its advantage.

But Big Ben and Campbell played well, especially on the defensive end. In order to avoid dampening the enthusiasm of the players and avoid destroying the good defensive effect of the starting lineup, John Hammond finally decided to play a starting lineup to death.

As a result, the Pistons failed to take advantage of the advantage established in the second quarter to win the Kings in one fell swoop in the third quarter.

However, the two teams played evenly in the third quarter, which is not all bad news for the Pistons.

The King had just returned from an away game before, and the King's state was actually not much better than the Pistons.

In today's game, the Kings played the main players in the first three quarters, and the consumption of the main players can be imagined.

On the other hand, for the Pistons, the rotation of the lineup is more frequent and more scientific. Everyone is affected by the away game, and it is not particularly serious. At least the players in the second lineup performed quite well.

Then, John Hammond can send Huo Song to lead the second team up for a while.

As long as the situation is stabilized before the main force enters the field, the overall situation is basically settled.

It is known that the starting lineup of the two teams is basically at the same level, so when the Pistons' starting lineup returns to the field, with the established advantages, the Pistons will probably be able to win this game.

John Hammond's abacus played well, and the second team of the Pistons who reappeared in the fourth quarter played really well.

Huo Song felt that he didn't play fast enough in the second quarter. The coach should have let him play as early as the third quarter, and scored 20 points first.

Now that he is back on the court in the fourth quarter, Huo Song must be able to play with his current physical strength, so in order to maintain the high efficiency before, Huo Song doesn't care about anything else, he just keeps killing the basket.

Anyway, Coach John told him that his task is to cover the first half of the quarter, and John Hammond will choose to use the main lineup at critical moments.

Knowing this situation, Huo Song had no intention of not being reused, but played more easily and without pressure.

It has been proved in the second quarter that this group of rotation players is no worse than the main players of the Kings. As long as they cooperate well and play well on the offensive end, they can even play against the Kings.

At this time, the Pistons still have a 6-point lead. If this is the case, what else is there to worry about?

However, as soon as the king came up, he gave Huo Song and others a little bit of a show.

Tony Masenberg made a turnaround jumper against Okur's defense.

Seeing this, Huo Song was not to be outdone, and asked for the ball from the low post to play Divac in singles.

Although Divac watched Huo Song off the court for a lot of time, he defended Huo Song for a total of three rounds, and he didn't actually accumulate much defensive experience.

Huo Song leaned on Divac's chest as soon as he came up. Divac couldn't bear it and was knocked out of his body. Just don't try to stand still.

Before Tony Masenberg ran to the basket to double-team Huo Song, Huo Song had already turned around and was about to directly dunk Divac.

But Divac's speed of reaching out to block the block was not slow. Huo Song saw that he was not sure about the dunk, so he changed his offensive strategy and took the initiative to reach out and bump into Divac's hand. See if you can hit the board for a layup.

Sure enough, the ball missed, but the whistle blew, which was very in line with Huo Song's psychological expectations.

Making damage at the basket is a skill that inside players must learn.

This is not only a matter of scoring one point by one point, but also through the accumulation of fouls by inside players, through foul troubles affecting the defensive strength and offensive enthusiasm of inside players.

In the fourth quarter, the inside players who made three fouls were completely different from the inside players who made four or five fouls.

Although Divac has not accumulated four fouls yet, this does not prevent Huo Song from finding opportunities to make fouls.

Fouling is a smart player's punishment for a stupid player!
Although Harden's classic one-point shot made the game uglier, it did not prevent Harden from becoming the regular season scoring champion and MVP.

Judging from his performance on the court, Harden, a basketball scientist, is indeed smarter than 99% of NBA players.

It's just that this is a kind of cleverness that doesn't talk about football ethics, and it won't make it to the elegant hall of the playoffs.

Closer to home, although Huo Song's foul this time was not directly aimed at free throws, he missed a layup and missed a 2+1 chance. There are still two free throws to come, which is consolation.

brush--

Huo Song made the first free throw and officially scored 20 points in a single game.

Duang——

I didn't have time to explain to my teammates: "I was indeed beaten just now, so I didn't make the shot!"

Huo Song went straight to the basket.

It's a pity that the king got stuck on both sides of the free throw line, and Huo Song immediately jumped up to grab the rebound after he made a shot.

Huo Song took off from the free throw line with a run-up. The height is enough, but the speed is not enough.

After Doug Christie grabbed the rebound, he launched a fast break. Only Hunter and Williams returned to the defense in time in the backcourt of the Pistons. In the end, the Kings scored more or less.

If Huo Song makes two free throws, even if the Kings make a successful conversion, the point difference will remain the same.

However, because Huo Song lost the variable in his free throw and made a conversion, it made Huo Song inevitably a little emotional.

Ever since, after halftime, Huo Song asked for the ball from the outside.

You must know that in addition to Wiggins' shooting bag, Huo Song also has Wade's dribbling bag!

Huo Song can directly break through and kill the inside line with the ball.

In previous competitions, Huo Song didn't get a decent opportunity to show his abilities in this area.

Because Huo Song is still a rookie, the king's pre-match scout report must not have that detailed understanding of Huo Song.

This time Huo Song launched an attack with the ball from a high position, which was really unexpected for the Kings.

Immediately afterwards, Huo Song strode directly to the basket to kill Doug Christie, who was passed by Huo Song before he could stand still.

Divac made up quickly, but Huo Song turned around and passed the day cleanly.

In the end, Huo Song stepped on the paint with a small toss shot. The basketball went into the net hollow and hit a short shot.

After Huo Song showed a breakthrough with the ball, an old-school coach like Adelman directly called a timeout out of caution.

After the timeout, Huo Song was taken care of by two defensive players and couldn't catch the ball for a while.

Huo Song continued to run outside to catch the ball, but he was double-teamed halfway through the dash. Huo Song wanted to dash, but was called an offensive foul.

Because the score was relatively close, Huo Song didn't dare to be self-willed and tried more. He could only do the job of threatening with the ball, attracting the defense, and creating opportunities for his teammates.

In fact, this is okay. The Kings have three defenses and four defenses. Even if they are in the zone defense position, they are still prone to problems on the defensive end.

And Huo Song didn't mean that if he was the focus of attention, he couldn't score.

In the first half of the fourth quarter, Huo Song made 4 of 2 shots, 4 of 2 free throws, and scored 6 points. The total score of the game has reached 25 points, and he is currently the player with the highest score on the Pistons side.

Under the leadership of Huo Song's outstanding performance, the Pistons continued to temporarily maintain the lead with 77 to 71.

When the two teams are all in the starting lineup, the game is played on and off, and the anxiety and suspense will continue to be maintained.

Until the last 2 minutes, Peja had a sudden burst of power and hit two consecutive three-pointers, which instantly made the Pistons bench players who were cheering up lose their voices.

Huo Song, who pretended to be waving a towel and yelled to cheer up in order to fit in with the group, also had to take off his training jacket again, and was ordered to play in the face of danger.

Pistons head coach John Hammond put his hands on Huo Song, a rookie. Although it sounds outrageous, it is actually not a reliable thing.

Saying there is a way is really no way!
The state of Hamilton and Billups is really not good today.

It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, and the first and second scoring points are both stretched, so I can only expect the sixth person to stand up and do things.

No matter what, today's Huo Song is indeed the only player with 20 points on the Pistons side.

Throughout the audience, Huo Song played with vibrancy.

It can be said that without Huo Song, the Pistons would have been overwhelmed by the Kings long ago.

That being the case, it is not a bad idea for John Hammond to reward Huo Song for the critical moment of 2 minutes.

After Huo Song played, he was quite confident.

"There are 2 minutes left, is there hope for 30 points?"
