I just want to lie down and win

Chapter 92 Attacking the core, the second leader of the team! (4000, please subscribe!)
If you make a mistake, you will be punished!

After losing two consecutive games that should not have been lost, after the Pistons returned to Detroit, Larry Brown immediately took Hamilton.

In Larry Brown's view, behind Billups is Hamilton supporting him.

Injuring ten fingers is worse than breaking one. The inner ghosts in the Pistons need to be resolved, and the first to bear the brunt is Hamilton, the team leader.

In a video room meeting the next day, Larry Brown beat around the bush: "We should have been on a winning streak.

But why did the last two games end up being regrettably lost?
I thought about it day and night, repeatedly looking for the reason, and finally found it.

Everyone here and I are responsible! "

"I shouldn't limit Huo Song's shots.

I have a strict training plan for Huo Song.

I used to think that Huo Song was not mature enough and needed more training.

He is the No. [-] pick, and the team cannot waste his talent.

But not long ago, I discovered that the team won so many victories before, not because the team was already strong.

It was Huo Song's talent and vitality that drove this team!
Huo Song's great contribution on the field is the main reason for the team's many victories.

I overestimated everyone and underestimated Huo Song's influence on the game.

Therefore, after discovering the problem, I have to adjust and correct my own deficiencies. "

Larry Brown used Huo Song to point fingers at Huai Huai, scolding that the original Pistons players were not as mature as Huo Song, a rookie.

In the video room, the players were ridiculed so sarcastically that they sat upright on the surface, but they definitely didn't feel that comfortable in their hearts.

But Larry Brown doesn't care what other people feel. In his territory, he must first say that he is comfortable.

"In order to increase the regular season winning percentage and strengthen the team, I decided to make the following adjustments.

The first is to open up and increase Huo Song's shot limit. Huo Song will be trained as the core of the team's offense.

I will redesign tactics for him, and I still hope that everyone can actively cooperate and train actively.

I know that the next period of time will be harder for everyone.

But for the playoffs and for the finals, I hope everyone can contribute to the team. "

"Secondly, Ben Wallace's strength is obvious to all.

As the team's only All-Star player, we must respect it.

We are a defensive team, and defense is the most important part of the team.

Therefore, I decided that Ben Wallace, as the core of the team's defense, will bear most of the responsibility for the team to win the game. "

Everyone thought that Huo Song would be directly promoted to the head of the team, but it wasn't.

Larry Brown established Big Ben as the head of the Pistons.

Indeed, according to Larry Brown, the Pistons are basically an All-Star player, and Ben is the core of the team's defense. If he is not the head of the team, who else can he be?

As for the original team's offensive core - Hamilton, judging from the average points per game this season, it is indeed not as good as Huo Song's performance, and his performance is stable.

Therefore, the core of the Pistons' offense changed, and Larry Brown supported Huo Song as the team's second leader.

At least at this stage, Huo Song has this ability, let alone Huo Song still has great potential.

Who knows if Huo Song will evolve into a young O'Neal after this season?

You know, the young sharks played the newly returned Michael Jordan out of the playoffs.

If Jordan still leads the Bulls to win the championship after his comeback in 95, then the legendary color of Jordan will be even more incredible.

But it happened to meet another dominant superstar, and he was still in a stage where his physical condition had not yet adjusted.

Only then did Jordan kneel down to the truth, unlike the myths and legends, when he returned to the league, he killed the Quartet and became invincible in the world.

Closer to home, Larry Brown improved the team status of Big Ben and Huo Song, and suppressed Hamilton and the small group of Billups, which caused Hamilton to suffer and Billups to die.

But the meeting is not over yet.

Larry Brown continued: "The team will build a championship team with Ben Wallace and Huo Song as the core.

Because the current lineup is relatively complete and everyone has a good chemical reaction when playing, the player lineup will not be adjusted for the time being.

But Joe Dumars has communicated with me that if I need it, we can also trade future draft picks and make appropriate reinforcements.

This also means that, except for Ben Wallace and Huo Song, other players may be replaced. "

Threat, threat of Chiyiguoyiguo!
Larry Brown in front of the players, put him in this annoying way.

But I have to say, the effect is really good.

Hamilton was pushed down from the position of the team leader by Larry Brown. He still had resentment at first, but now he dare not fart.

Billups is even more frightened!
If someone on the team is going to be traded, there is no need to guess, it must be Billups with a criminal record.

As for the other players on the team, after the meeting, everyone was panicked and frightened.

Obviously, they just returned to Detroit today, and they had to play back-to-back home games in the evening, but after the meeting, everyone was in the training ground, all obedient and hardworking, like rookies who had just entered the league.

After an afternoon of training, although Larry Brown has not reformed the team and rearranged tactics, he is very satisfied with everyone's training results.

Time soon came to the evening, and the Sonics were a guest at the Palace of Auburn Hills.

Since the Sonics exchanged players with the Bucks and Gary Payton left the Sonics, the Sonics did not have the strength to advance to the playoffs.

Having said that, the Sonics are also a fringe team in the playoffs in the West where there are so many strong players.

Basically, there is a 50% winning rate every year, but every time it is close, and then it is blocked from entering the playoffs.

In the West, the Supersonics are a doormat, but every time they are a guest in the East, the Supersonics can bring back several victories.

Recently, the Supersonics have won consecutive victories in the Eastern Conference. They happened to encounter problems with the team and have fallen to the third-ranked Pistons in the Eastern Conference.

The Sonics, led by Rashard Lewis, also have ambitions to beat the Pistons.

At the beginning of the game, Supersonics center Jerome James seemed to want to prove himself in front of Huo Song, the No. [-] pick, and wanted to beat Huo Song in the jump ball.

It's a pity that Huo Song is still superior.

Jerome James tried his best, but he was not as talented as Huo Song, and jumped lightly.

Billups advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, but Huo Song did not go to the sideline to play a pick-and-roll with Billups as usual.

After being promoted to the core of the team's offense, Huo Song will first let the other offensive points of the team try their hand. When everyone is really out of shape and unable to score, then Huo Song will stand up and score for the team.

Speaking of Hamilton's relegation to the team's second offensive point, the loss must be somewhat lost, but the points that should be scored still need to be scored, and the All-Stars that should be won must be won.

Without the pressure of the offensive core, Hamilton ran out of position, received the ball, took off directly, and instantly made a quick, accurate and ruthless mid-range shot.

The basketball went into the net, and the fans in the audience burst into loud cheers.

Hamilton was addicted to it, and subconsciously made a celebration action to interact with the fans, and at the same time, to motivate himself.

If you don't work hard, you will be traded!
Staying in the Pistons to be the third head, but there is the possibility of an All-Star, Eastern Conference champion, and Finals champion.

Although Hamilton is unhappy with Larry Brown, the situation is still very clear how to choose.

"Give me the ball, I'm in good shape today." When returning to defense, Hamilton took the initiative to find Billups.

Billups gave Hamilton a meaningful look.

Against a half-bad team like the Sonics, with the pure strength of the Pistons, they can basically win.

Billups also knows that Huo Song has a good defensive ability on the offensive end, so he also wants to perform in this game.

After all, if he doesn't work with Larry Brown, if he doesn't perform better, he is the most likely person on the team to be traded.

Now the attributes of Billups' big heart at critical moments and the positioning of the team's brain are not very clear. There are at least five or six point guards in the league who perform similarly to Billups.

Billups himself knows that his position in the Pistons is not irreplaceable.

Therefore, Billups needs the ball more than Hamilton.

However, after all, Hamilton was implicated by Billups, and even the status of the team's leader was lost.

Besides, it is not clear whether Hamilton is the third leader of the team now.

Billups thought that Hamilton had sacrificed too much for him, so he naturally wanted to save his brother at this time.

Ever since, Billups simply didn't make any shots. Except for a few shots for Prince, the rest of the ball was basically handed over to Hamilton.

Relying on Hamilton's offense and the team's defense, the Pistons had a big advantage in the first quarter.

More than 4 minutes into the first quarter, when Supersonics coach Nate McMillan was forced to call a timeout, the score on the court was already 7 to 14, and the Pistons led by a full 7 points.

After returning from the timeout, the Sonics increased their defense against Hamilton.

As the core of the team's offense, Huo Song stepped forward to work.

Before the Supersonics came, it was not clear that the core of the Pistons' offense had changed.

The focus of defense is still Hamilton and Billups on the outside.

Although Huo Song averaged 20 points per game, the Pistons usually scored 90 points in the games they won.

Therefore, this point of Huo Song is not really a point that needs to be paid attention to.

As long as the internal and external connections of the Pistons are cut off, Huo Song can't kill the game like O'Neal just by hitting the basket.

To put it simply, Huo Song has not yet reached the level of an inside star who really needs to be specially targeted.

It was also due to the information asymmetry of the Supersonics, before they had time to understand the situation of the Pistons, the whole team was violently beaten by Huo Song at the basket alone, and they were caught off guard.

Huo Song first made a wonderful performance of 3-of-3 shooting. After a timeout, he relied on Billups and Prince to share some offensive pressure and continued the previous violent state.

After the first quarter, even though Huo Song didn't make a shot in the first 4 minutes, he still made 9 of 6 shots, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 16 points in a single quarter.

Under Huo Song's leadership, the Pistons beat the Supersonics in a single quarter 34-16.

Until the second quarter, the Supersonics were still a little dizzy and didn't know how to deal with Huo Song.

Nate McMillan was full of thoughts: "Why did Huo Song suddenly explode? Why am I so unlucky? You can't last the whole game in this state, right?"

It is indeed impossible for Huo Song to continue this state for a whole game, offense is more difficult than defense.

Now Huo Song has more tasks on the offensive end, but the defensive end has to maintain the previous level, and the physical exertion is also very large.

However, playing another half quarter in the second quarter, there is still such physical strength.

After one and a half quarters, Huo Song made 12 of 8 shots and 5 of 4 free throws, scoring 20 points.

Basically, it is possible to score 30 points by playing piecemeal and casually in the third quarter.

If the state is good enough, the physical fitness is still left, and the Sonics can survive, Huo Song may be able to break the career scoring record again and play a single game of 40+ for the first time.

But the chances of that happening today are not great.

Maybe it's because of the adjustment of mentality, maybe it's because training has cultivated a good competitive state, or maybe it's because I feel really good today.

Whether it is Hamilton or Billups, the hit rate is very high today.

Lian Prince, when he and Huo Song were on the court at the same time, used Huo Song to attract part of the defense at the basket, and repeatedly scored at the basket.

When all the starters are playing their due role, it is very difficult for the team to lose the game.

The Pistons completed a 78-45 brutal slaughter against the Sonics in just three quarters.

Seeing that the team was beating dizzily, and even he himself was dizzy, SuperSonics head coach Nate McMillan had to give Larry Brumby a signal before the end of the three quarters, expressing his willingness to surrender early.

Sure enough, in the fourth quarter, the two teams had a tacit understanding and did not send any starters.

这样一来，霍嵩三节18投11中，罚球7投5中，只拿到了27分8篮板就提前下班。

Huo Song, who didn't get 30+10, didn't think it was a pity. He was the core of the team's offense for the first time, and he was able to help the team get the bottom line without pulling his own hips, which made Huo Song very happy.

Not to mention, this is still a home game.

What could be happier than scoring a high score and leading the team to defeat the opponent?
If there is, it may be to score higher points and prove one's own strength on a higher stage of competition.

The Pistons cleared the haze of two consecutive losses with a big victory.

Huo Song has a higher and more stable position in the Pistons. If he wants to get better data, he is no longer limited by the number of shots.

Everything is moving in a good direction.

Also gratifying, the Pistons are still five days away from their next regular-season game.

This period of time is just right for the Pistons to adjust their previous tactics and re-tailor a tactic that is more suitable for Huo Song and Daben.

And the other puzzle players, the role players, have had time to rediscover their place on the team.

In other words, the Pistons made and completed the team adjustment at the most appropriate time.
