I just want to lie down and win

Chapter 88 Turn defeat into victory, evenly split? (The first update, please subscribe!)

In the third quarter of the game, Yao Ming was still able to maintain an extremely efficient shooting rate of 4 of 3 shots.

But the playing time is even less than the previous two quarters.

After the first half of the game, Billups and Hamilton got back the defense they had.

Now it's the turn of Francis, Mobley, and Jackson to strike the iron in turn.

When Mosaic needed Yao Ming the most, Van Gundy Jr. did not blindly fuck Yao Ming, but actively dispatched Kevin Cato for a period of playing time.

Needless to say, Campbell is in a mediocre state today, and Ben is a little lost after Yao Ming is off the court. He doesn't know how to deal with such a small role as Cato.

Ever since, the little guy saved the world, and Mosaic relied on Cato to make 3 of 3 shots in the third quarter to stabilize the situation.

Until the fourth quarter, Mosaic still had a 5-point lead.

"Come on, this is just a mosaic, not the Lakers! We shouldn't lose to other Western teams!"

Before playing in the fourth quarter, Larry Brown kept clapping his hands to motivate the players.

The Pistons players naturally wanted to win the game. At the critical moment of the fourth quarter, it was time to go all out!

Ever since, the starting lineup all played.Mosaic also responded in this way.

After winning the first three quarters, it is impossible to sit back and watch the fourth quarter lose the game, right?

As soon as the fourth quarter came up, Huo Song and Billups picked and rolled on the weak side, and first shot a mid-range shot to make Yao Ming move as much as possible.

Originally, mid-range shots were not what Huo Song wanted to shoot. Huo Song wanted to keep his shooting percentage and stabilize his scoring average.

However, when sitting on the bench in the third quarter, Larry Brown asked Huo Song to shoot a few mid-range shots after he came on the court, stretching the space and restraining Yao Ming's defense.

Huo Song followed suit after playing, and today's hand feeling is just a coincidence.

When Yao Ming's footsteps were too slow to prevent him, Huo Song made a mid-range shot and directly scored 2 points.

After Yao Ming saw Huo Song making a mid-range shot, he didn't care too much about missing defense, but took the initiative to run to Huo Song and ask: "I've seen your video before, and I know you can shoot.

Why have you been playing under the basket for the past half month?
Centers can also have mid-range, and you're playing well this time. "

After all, Yao Ming is Huo Song's senior, and as a compatriot, he also works overseas, so he should care about Huo Song.

Huo Song didn't hide Yao Ming's thoughts, he was by Yao Ming's side when he retreated, and revealed to Yao Ming: "Coach Larry Brown thought my previous style of play was too jumpy and too soft.

Some time ago, I made a three-chapter agreement with me to limit the number of shots I took, hoping that I could hit the basket as much as possible.

The recent training results are still good, and only when I meet Brother Yao, I have to force out my middle distance. "

"Haha, this is good, Coach Larry Brown should care about you.

When I first came to Mosaic, coach Tomjanovich asked me to do the same.

He told me to dunk as much as I could, and asked me to yell twice after dunking.

Gradually, I got the feeling of playing, and then I had the right to choose the attack method independently.

I believe that you will soon be able to decide for yourself how to play on the court. "

Yao Ming told Huo Song with his own experience, hoping that Huo Song can be like him, step by step, gradually gain a foothold in the NBA and grow rapidly.

Huo Song nodded in agreement.

Not long after, the two met again under the basket.

Yao Ming pretended to hit Huo Song with his back, but in fact he performed the Shanghai dance and slipped to the bottom line.

Daben was paying attention to defending Yao Ming at the basket, and when he saw Yao Ming coming out from the baseline, he immediately stepped forward to make up defense.

Yao Ming held the ball in both hands to break the pressure. Huo Song turned around and hit the ball high again.

Huo Song immediately picked up the ball and retreated to the bottom line, and Prince immediately rushed forward.

In the first half, Mosaic didn't pay attention to preventing the Pistons from switching. Could it still be so leaky in the fourth quarter?Obviously impossible.

Prince got the ball in the frontcourt, but Francis and Jackson had rushed back to the backcourt.

Prince continued to kill to the basket, and through physical confrontation, he almost scored a 1-on-2 goal.

Fortunately, Billups followed up behind Prince. Taking advantage of Francis and Jackson's attention on Prince, Billups took off the offensive rebound and passed the ball immediately.

Hamilton caught the ball and made an open shot, and made a steady mid-range shot.

As the point difference between the two teams approached, Francis was a little anxious, and rushed directly to the basket with the explosive bag.

But the lonely hero didn't make it, but instead played the role that Kobe often played.

The basket was defended by Big Ben, Francis was interfered with the layup, and it was just a shot.

Yao Ming played two under the basket, wanted to grab an offensive rebound and then made a tip-up to score, but he couldn't beat four with two punches.

Huo Song and Big Ben will let Yao Ming pick up the rebounds when they are grabbing the offensive rebounds, but they will not let Yao Ming get the offensive rebounds when he has the opportunity to grab the offensive rebounds.

Relying on Huo Song and Yao Ming's competition at the basket, Da Ben grabbed the defensive rebound.

Big Ben passed the ball outside, and the Pistons continued their fast break.

Because the point difference was only 3 points, this time Billups made a cold shot in an attempt to tie the score.The result was that the Pistons returned the ball they had just acquired.

Of course, regardless of whether the Pistons win or lose, Yao Ming can only run back and forth.

Since Mosaic still took the lead, after protecting the defensive rebound, Mosaic was not in a hurry to make a fast break.

Good steel is used wisely. After his teammates are in position, Francis passes the ball to Mobley, and first let other teammates look for opportunities on the outside.

Instead of continuing to hold the ball to the basket, or passing the ball to Yao Ming again, let Yao Ming solve everything in singles.

When Hamilton saw Mobley holding the ball, he immediately stepped forward to guard against it, and Mobley was forced to stop the ball.

At this moment, Prince suddenly defended against Jackson, double-teamed Mobley, and used his long arms to interfere with Mobley's shot or pass.

Mobley looked left and right, but couldn't find his teammates to respond. The little Van Gundy on the sidelines may have been dumbfounded, and forgot to call a timeout to help Mobley out.

Seeing this, Prince first failed to steal with one hand, then rushed forward and hugged the ball in his arms.

Mobley found that the ball was taken away abruptly, and wanted to ask the referee for a foul.

The referee didn't answer.

Instead, Prince made a fast break and went straight to the basket to kill.

A successful layup and another two points.

The point difference narrowed to 1 point, and Van Gundy Jr. had to call a timeout and rearrange the defense.

After the timeout ended, Mosaic could only adopt the tactic of handing the ball to Yao Ming to open up the point difference first.

Yao Ming singled Huo Song again, but Huo Song was still unable to defend.

Huo Song rushed to serve again, but saw that the Mosaic outside players had learned from experience and were returning to defense with a long memory, so Huo Song passed the ball to Billups in the middle circle instead of running to the front Field Prince.

Yao Ming trotted along, and the Pistons had to hurry to the frontcourt.

Taking advantage of the absence of a big center under the basket, Billups immediately passed the ball to Huo Song at the top arc.

After Huo Song received the ball, he immediately started a tank-style breakthrough.

Jackson tentatively reached out his hand to stop Huo Song, saw Huo Song change direction ahead of time, and passed him. In the end, he could only watch Huo Song rush into the basket for a dunk.

The point difference couldn't be widened, and Mosaic was under pressure that the game might be reversed, so he could only let Yao Ming, the team's most efficient scorer, take a shot.

But Yao Ming is a human being, not a robot.

The previous few times I beat Huo Song, it was when I was physically strong.

Now in the fourth quarter, I played for 3 minutes. Apart from running back and forth, I was on the way back and forth, and I also had to play low singles, get stuck at the basket, and grab rebounds. Who can bear this?

Yao Ming caught the ball and hit Huo Song with his back. This time, Shanghai Dance couldn't move forward, so Huo Song found the opportunity directly.

Huo Song's arms were longer than Yao Ming's. Yao Ming paused in back hitting and dribbled higher, so Huo Song stretched out his hand and caught it.

Immediately afterwards, Huo Song dribbled the ball by himself and made a fast break.

Yao Ming followed Huo Song to eat ashes, and he couldn't run when he reached the middle circle, and Huo Song had already reached the free throw line.

Francis wanted to foul Huo Song when Huo Song ran to the middle circle, but he didn't touch Huo Song's clothes, and was passed by Huo Song with a sharp change of direction.

When Jackson fouled Huo Song, Huo Song had already entered the three-point line and made a small throw.

The small throw was not scored, and two free throws were still unavoidable.

Duang——

The first penalty was missed, but the second penalty was adjusted.

Huo Song wiped his hands again, spit out a little more, and moistened his fingertips.

Then make a move, and the result is in!

74 to 74, the Pistons finally tied the score with Huo Song making 2 of 1 free throws.

Now the mosaic players on the field are a little anxious.

After Yao Ming took the position, he actively fought with Huo Song, grabbed half of his body and was ready to catch the ball.

Francis passed the ball to Yao Ming, but Billups broke the ball out of bounds halfway.

The situation on the field is already clear at a glance, who can Mosaic rely on to score at the critical moment?Who else but Yao Ming?
The Pistons pay more attention to the ball passed to Yao Ming, it is easy for Mosaic to make mistakes.

Francis knew that this would not work. After serving from the sideline, he broke through with the ball and created opportunities for Yao Ming under the basket.

But the defensive system of the Pistons is not easy. After playing a game, Francis, who played almost 37 minutes, was not as fast as the first half.

Prince stopped Francis, and then Big Ben came out to defend.

Francis circled the baseline and had to come out of the corner to pass the ball to Mobley on the outside.

With little time left on the shot, Mobley caught the pot and could barely make a shot.

The result was just an iron, and the rebound that bounced to the outside line was snatched by Prince again.

In order to avoid continuing to lose points, Jackson fouled Prince who was on the fast break early.

Billups served from the sideline and Hamilton made a run, but it was only a cover.

Huo Song ran back under the basket and changed positions with Daben. Daben blocked Yao Ming. At this time, Billups also passed the ball.

It turned out that the Pistons' cooperation with the sideline ball this time was to directly hoist the ball to the basket to create an alley-oop opportunity for Huo Song.

Yao Ming saw Huo Song dunking the ball in the alley-oop, his eyes were full of envy.

Yao Ming couldn't help sighing: "Xiao Huo, your body is really good."

"Haha Brother Yao, aren't you?" Yao Ming envied Huo Song's running and jumping ability, why didn't Huo Song envy Yao Ming's incomprehensible static talent and extremely soft touch?
Huo Song was not satisfied with only back shots and throws in his arsenal. He tried to learn the hook some time ago, but found that he was still unable to master it.

The hook feel is too demanding, especially with a big hand like Huo Song, I feel like I can't learn it at all.

Fortunately, even without the hook, Huo Song's ability to score at the basket is still very strong, at least there is no problem with abuse.

In particular, Huo Song's body is still top-notch.

At critical moments, body is more important than technique.

Physical strength is a part of the body, and now Yao Ming's physical strength is a bit weak.

If Van Gundy Jr. realized this, he could put Yao Ming off the court to rest for a while, but he didn't, so Yao Ming stayed on the court, which actually slowed down the team's speed.

In the Mosaic offensive round, the ball was handed over to Mobley, but Mobley was still looking for Yao Ming.

Prince made a ball to Mobley, but he missed the ball and accidentally fouled.

But the problem is not big, the number of fouls has not been accumulated, and Mosaic serves from the sideline.

With the shot clock running out, it was Francis' turn to catch the pot and force a shot.

After the sound of Duang, Yao Ming could only be forced to take off to grab a rebound.

Big Ben was sentenced to a rebounding foul because he was too fiercely stuck with Yao Ming.

The number of fouls by the Pistons still hasn't arrived, and Mosaic can only serve from the baseline and reorganize the offense.

This time, Jackson finally scored 2 points with a catch-and-shoot jumper, breaking the deadlock of not being able to score in a short period of time.

But turning around, the Pistons used fast to play slow, bullying Yao Ming to run a long pass and play a fast break.

Five-on-four in the frontcourt, sudden points and then sudden points, Huo Song, who was cutting to the basket, made another alley-oop and dunked the ball into the basket.

"The helicopter took off, Huo Song's bounce was too shocking, and Huo Song's hands were too powerful! How can the air relay be so easy?"

"It's so wonderful, Huo Song is simply indescribably strong, this goal is really indescribably wonderful!"

Neither the live commentary nor the live fans could keep calm.

One after another air performances, it is easy for fans to mutiny.

The mosaic fans who boasted to Huo Song in the first quarter also had to envy Huo Song's talent at this time and admit Huo Song's strength.

Of course, some Mosaic fans did not follow suit.

The Pistons offense is full of vitality, but the Mosaic offense can be called constipation.

Mosaic finally suppressed the No. [-] Pistons in the Eastern Conference, which surprised Mosaic fans, but in the fourth quarter, everything changed.

This made the fans panic and uneasy. Could it be that the game is in the same mood, and it will turn bad again?

In other words, relying on Huo Song's two alley-oop dunks, the enthusiasm of the Pistons players on the field was completely mobilized.

Mosaic had to pay attention to this point of Huo Song, to prevent Huo Song from completing homework in the air again and scoring easily.

Huo Song enjoys more defense, and other Pistons players will be freed from strict defense.

Relying on expert running without the ball, Hamilton got an open shot, received the ball, took off, shot, all in one go, and made a mid-range shot.

After a stalemate for six or seven minutes, the point difference was finally pulled to more than 7 points.

For other teams, in the last three or four minutes, there is still a possibility of turning defeat into victory.

But Mosaic is not so good. Little Van Gundy is prone to illness at critical moments and doesn't know how to adapt.

Yao Ming obviously couldn't play in the fourth quarter, but he was still left on the court.

The usual protection of Yao Ming's playing time is now empty.

Of course, the reason for this situation is that the point difference has been maintained at around 5 points.

This was the case until the last minute of the game.

Little Van Gundy pinned his hopes on Yao Ming, believing that Yao Ming has the ability to lead the team to break through the predicament.

The result is still not working.

89 to 83, it seems that the difference between the two teams is not big, but Mosaic just can't catch up with the difference.

Relying on the layout of the first three quarters and the efforts in the fourth quarter, the Pistons finally defeated the Mosaic team.

Although Huo Song was blown up during the matchup against Yao Ming, Huo Song had the last laugh at the end of the Chinese Derby.

Huo Song's performance in the fourth quarter was obviously better than Yao Ming's, and he was able to deflate Yao Ming. Huo Song also vented all the stagnation accumulated in the first three quarters.

And judging from the overall data, Yao Ming made 19 of 10 shots and 6 of 4 free throws, which was 24 points.

霍嵩10投8中，罚球7投5中，同样拿下了21分。

It seemed that they were evenly divided, and there was even an illusion that Huo Song had the upper hand.

They are also playing the center position. Just looking at the data comparison of the two, it seems that Yao Ming can't defend Huo Song at all. On the contrary, Yao Ming's shooting rate is not as high as before.

Of course Huo Song knew that the data was for the fans to see, and he was still far behind Yao Ming.

However, data is greater than strength, which has always been the characteristic of Huo Song's playing.

Huo Song, as the No. [-] pick, also needs to maintain such characteristics, and then strive for steady progress, a little bit of progress, to become even better.

When Huo Song's strength can really match the gorgeous statistics, it also shows that Huo Song has the strength to truly be the head and second head of a team.
