I just want to lie down and win

Chapter 90 It's a big break! (4000, please subscribe)

The team leader is very important to a team.

Just from the perspective of the team's salary space, once the championship team that pays the luxury tax reduces the salary of the team leader, the team's salary is at the level of most lottery teams.

And a playoff-level team lacks a team leader, and the team's combat effectiveness can also be regarded as an instant drop to the level of a lottery team.

Normally, that's true.

But occasionally there are exceptions.

After all, they are all NBA-level players. A team with stars just has a higher minimum and is more stable at critical moments.

A team can only send 5 players to the field at the same time. As long as the opponent is undercover, the team may win even if it lacks a master.

Moreover, in many competitions, it is not enough to rely on paper strength alone.

The team's tactical restraint, team chemistry, player talent, and player status all have a great impact on whether the team can win.

Don't you see, the 73-win Warriors defeated countless strong teams, but lost to the Lakers and Timberwolves, who were extremely high in the lottery at the time?
What do the Lakers have?Kobe, who is about to retire, and D'Angelo Russell, the second pick who just entered the league.

What about the Timberwolves?Two top picks, Andrew Wiggins and Karl-Anthony Towns.

The talent of the players is the key to the team defeating the strong with the weak and turning decay into magic.

Right now, 75 players are coming to the Palace of Auburn Hills to challenge the Pistons. The youngest and most talented No. [-] pick, Allen Iverson, is sitting on the bench due to injuries.

In terms of talent, the Pistons have Huo Song as the No. [-] pick and Billups as the No. [-] pick. Except for Daben, the starters are all first-round picks.

In terms of strength, the Pistons are the strongest team in the Eastern Conference, but the 75ers are about to drop out of the playoffs.

No matter how you look at it, the 75 people who came here this time are sending food from thousands of miles away.

If someone asks, is it possible for the Pistons to lose?

There is definitely a possibility, but the probability is extremely small.

Another occasion, this is the flying dragon riding on the face, just ask, how to lose?
At the beginning of the game, after Huo Song beat 75ers center Samuel Dalembert with a jump ball in the middle, Iverson frowned on the sidelines.

The first attack of the Pistons was similar to the past. Huo Song ran outside first to pick and roll with Billups.

Although Huo Song is the No. [-] pick, he is still only a rookie, and the status of the team is still in the stage of talking about the younger brother, not the emperor.

The 75ers will not spend a lot of time dealing with Huo Song, unless Huo Song is in a particularly good state today.

In short, impossible at the beginning of the game.

As a result, Huo Song will pick and roll and catch the ball as usual, rush to the basket, or make a small throw on the move, or an alley-oop, or a dunk with a dribble.

Huo Song has many offensive methods, and the method of attack depends on how the opponent defends.

Then, just as Samuel Dalembert was getting ready to block Huo Song at the basket, Billups passed the ball to Kenny Thomas' back.

Eric Snow, who was originally following Billups, immediately ran two steps forward when he saw this, and picked up the ball on the ground.

"Chauncey was too relaxed and made a small mistake when he came up."

"This kind of mistake should not be. Although the opponent is not very strong, this kind of mistake can be avoided with a little attention."

"Actually, it's okay, it's not about dribbling and dribbling, and being copied by 75 players.

Pass turnovers are also normal.

Chauncey's assist-to-turnover ratio is one of the better ones among the league's starting point guards. "

It is impossible to be objective in the commentary. Some point out problems, some guide and discredit, and of course some defend players.

The Pistons' home commentary is basically biased towards the home team, but they make mistakes as soon as they come up, which is still something to say.

Sitting in the commentary seat, it is impossible to be blind, right?

It is said that after Billups made a mistake and lost the ball, Snow picked up the ball and immediately counterattacked.

Because the Pistons didn't expect this to happen, the speed of returning to defense was obviously a bit slower.

In the end, Snow made a fast break and easily scored 2 points by relying on transition.

Only then did Iverson on the sidelines widen his eyebrows.

But then, Billups passed the ball to Hamilton who ran out of the weak side corner through the cover of Huo Song.

Hamilton caught the ball and shot from mid-range, and immediately scored two points to tie the score.

After Iverson missed the game due to injury, the 75ers had to start the team's sixth man, Aaron McGee.

McGee has excellent offense and defense, can break through, throw three-pointers, and pass the ball.

As Iverson's substitute, not only can he play with Iverson at the same time, help Iverson wipe his ass on the defensive end, but also lead the second team to bite the score.

But I have to say that the team's sixth man is the core of the team's second team. McGee has always played with the ball, so he is more experienced in defending the ball. There is no doubt that there is a lack of defense without the ball. experienced.

In addition, McGee's speed is not fast, whether it is defending against small men who are good at breakthroughs, or defending against long-distance runners, it is a bit difficult.

Seeing McGee being walked by Hamilton, but not having the proper defensive effect, Iverson frowned again.

But it didn't take long for Iverson to smile.

"It turned out to be a paper tiger!"

After Hamilton made a mid-range shot, the Pistons allowed Huo Song to score two more goals under the basket.

In the first 3 minutes, the Pistons have always been in the lead. Because the 75ers were strictly defended by the Pistons during offense, their shooting rate was very high.

The 75ers didn't have much advantage in hitting the basket. After being blocked by Big Ben, the 75ers' idea of ​​playing inside also died down.

Unexpectedly, after more than 3 minutes, Billups made another mistake when passing the ball.

The 75ers successfully tied the difference by relying on switching.

And then, the Pistons starters seemed to be infected by some kind of virus, making mistakes one after another, and for three consecutive offensive rounds, they gave the ball to the 75ers in vain, and the 75ers scored 4 points by relying on transition.

When this happened, the 75 players and uniform team members who followed the team here were all elated and beaming.

As for the Pistons, Larry Brown scolded on the sidelines first, and then called a timeout angrily.

At the same time as the timeout, Billups, the culprit, was taken down first, and Hunter got the chance to play a lot earlier.

However, after changing to a playmaker, the Pistons made repeated mistakes, and the situation of being out of state did not improve.

On the contrary, because Hunter played less with the team's starters and lacked chemical reaction, he couldn't pass the ball to someone who could put the ball into the basket.

In the end, Hunter could only play duo with Huo Song, a slightly more familiar person.

在霍嵩5投4中，罚球4投3中砍下11分之后，75人主教练喊了暂停，然后75人内线就对霍嵩施加严密的联防和包夹。

Huo Song tried to cooperate with Daben and handed the ball to Daben, but Daben seemed to be out of shape today.

After the slam dunk, Da Ben and Huo Song smiled awkwardly: "Why don't you do it! I'm better at defense."

It was only then that Huo Song realized that there was something wrong with Da Ben's legs today, and he seemed to be unable to jump.

Ever since, when Huo Song was facing a double-team, he could only pass the ball back to Hunter behind him.

Hunter took the occasional shot and mostly passed the ball to someone else.

No one passed back to him, he just stood on the outside, and there was no shooting threat.

It just so happened that other people were more determined, so it was better to hand over the foul to Huo Song than to waste the ball.

So Hunter also kept pushing Huo Song.

Larry Brown saw the situation on the field and realized the team's problems, but the timeouts were limited, so he couldn't call timeouts one after another.

After the first quarter, 24 to 19, the Pistons fell behind by 5 points.

Playing against the 75ers without Iverson, and with their own starting center Huo Song alone, scoring 7 points on 5 of 13 shots, the team is still 5 points behind, which is really unexpected.

In the final analysis, whether it is a turnover or a shooting percentage, it is because of the physical condition of the Pistons players.

Of course, there are also mental problems, but they are still secondary.

At least, the 75ers didn't score that high, and the situation of 30 points in a single quarter still didn't appear.

This proves that the most basic defense of the Pistons is still there.

If it weren't for the defense to limit the 75ers' scoring, the Pistons might have been beaten to a morale collapse in the first quarter alone.

"It's a big break! The Pistons won consecutive victories before and returned to the home court for three days. Now I can't find the feeling of winning!"

"That's right, most of the Pistons players are veterans with rich game experience. We believe they can adjust their status back as soon as possible."

"Yeah, let's get back to the status in the second quarter as soon as possible while the point difference is not widened! Otherwise, we will really capsize in the gutter."

"Before I always said that Huo Song was the most hardworking person in the team's training, but I didn't believe it.

But now it seems that Huo Song is the one who maintains the best condition.

If Huo Song continues to maintain this state in the first quarter, the team's point difference should not be widened. "

During the break during the festival, the commentators pointed out the problems of the team one after another-it's a big break!

If you haven't played a game for a while, you really can't find the feeling of playing a game, and you don't know how to master the rhythm of the game.

But that is usually an interval of ten days and a half months.

In just three days, how could the Pistons players rest?
Don't forget that the team has daily training and in-team training games on days when there are no games.

Obviously, behind the rest of the Pistons, it was too indulgent after returning home.

The excellent record of 18 wins and 3 losses at the beginning made most of the players in the Pistons complacent.

I'm afraid even Joe Dumars and Larry Brown, the two helmsmen of the team, could not have guessed that the team would play such a wonderful performance.

As for the seniors in the team, most of them think that at the beginning of the season, if the team wants to cultivate Huo Song, the No. [-] pick, the team's record will be dragged down, and everyone will play harder. .

In fact, however, this did not happen.

Perhaps it can be said that Huo Song's appearance forced them to lie down and win many games.

In the first season when the Pistons selected Huo Song, they got a rookie bonus, which is still a quasi-All-Star reinforcement.

It is also because of Huo Song's extraordinary performance of averaging 20+10 per game that the Pistons died in peace.

During the two or three days without a game, the Pistons players spent hundreds of millions of dollars per player. Today, their physical condition is suddenly not good.

Everyone saw that the little brother Huo Song was still leading them to win, so they stopped working hard and let's rest for a while!
Anyway, the opponent is the 75ers without Iverson, so what is there to be afraid of?

The strength of the opponent is not strong, they are not in good shape, and it is not wrong to give the ball to someone who can score and lead the team to victory.

But the problem is, Huo Song just came back from Los Angeles.

Huo Song is just relying on his youth and strong capital.

It really made Huo Song play the whole game. Huo Song might have weak legs in the third quarter and couldn't make it to the fourth quarter.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Huo Song didn't take many shots because the number of shots was about the same.

Larry Brown guessed Huo Song's situation, and wanted to tell Huo Song that he could open up the shooting restrictions.

But then I thought about it, the point difference in the game didn't widen, it didn't mean that the Pistons couldn't win without Huo Song.

In addition, it is impossible for the Pistons players to be as strong as the first quarter in every quarter.

Wait until the second quarter, the third quarter, the feel comes back, the shot is wide, and it is still no problem to beat garbage like the 75ers.

Ever since, by the end of the third quarter, the score was really stretched a bit.

74 to 63, after McGee hit a three-pointer at the buzzer, the point difference between the two teams once again expanded to more than 10 points.

"Huo Song, it's time to stand up! The team needs you!

Go ahead, use your abilities, and solve the game.

I will let everyone cooperate with you!

Use all your strength, regardless of the number of shots, I only want one result, and that is to win! "

The fourth quarter is about to start, and Larry Brown can still know that poor hand feeling is not the reason for other players to fight iron.

The only real reliable Pistons player today is Huo Song, the No. [-] pick.

Sometimes talent means something.

"No problem, leave it to me!" Huo Song took a deep breath and stood up from the bench.

In the first three quarters, Huo Song has made 10 shots and scored 17 points.

Huo Song had already had a hunch that the team still needed him to carry at critical moments.

Huo Song is ready to turn the tide, but sometimes it doesn't mean that fighting spirit alone can win the game.

After Huo Song played in the fourth quarter, he suffered an unprecedented challenge.

The defensive pressure that Huo Song enjoys is at the star level, even at the O'Neal level.

As soon as he got the ball, Huo Song was faced with two double teams, sometimes three people under the basket, which made it difficult for Huo Song to make a shot.

By making fouls, Huo Song scored a few more points, but the scoring efficiency ratio was greatly limited.

The house leak happened to be raining overnight. On the side of the 75ers, McGee and Thomas suddenly broke out, no matter how they voted.

It almost made Huo Song think that this match was a one-man fight against nine opponents.

With 5 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Huo Song was a bit out of touch. After missing two free throws in a row, Huo Song, who was soft-handed and soft-footed, asked to rest for a minute or two.

Larry Brown allowed Huo Song's behavior, but Huo Song quickly moved towards the 6-point mark after biting the point difference of around 10 points.

When Huo Song returned to play, with 3 minutes remaining, Huo Song also scored 3 points, which could not help the team much, let alone turn defeat into victory.

In this regard, the Pistons ended their winning streak and added a defeat to their 18 wins and 3 losses.

But Iverson on the sidelines, after discovering that the team won, suddenly became less happy.

As the saying goes, winning is not terrible, and missing someone is embarrassing.

Some time ago, the 75ers always lost. As the head of the team, Iverson will naturally be dissatisfied with the team's performance, and then vent his anger, blame his teammates, and even the head coach.

But after what happened today, Iverson...

I searched for him thousands of times in the crowd, and when I suddenly looked back, the ghost was actually me?
