I just want to lie down and win

Chapter 95 The agreed base is not attacking? (4000, please subscribe)

"Don't take the All-Star voting too seriously, we don't rely on it anyway."

The results of the first round of the All-Star voting were announced. Although the Pistons had many players on the list, only Da Ben and Huo Song were expected to enter the All-Star Game as starters.

Big Ben had the support of many fans last year, not only the fans in the East, but also the fans in the West.

The inside players in the East are generally not good enough. The popular small forwards Carter and Hill are absent due to injuries. McGrady only cares about scoring points, and his reputation is bad.

Therefore, even if Daben ran as a power forward this time, he would still be the Eastern Conference forward with the most votes.

As a Chinese player, Huo Song has the support of a special group of fans, and there will be no shortage of All-Star votes.

Not to mention, Daben doesn't play center, and the center in the east is much weaker than the center in the west. Huo Song has been in the limelight recently, and it's not unreasonable to get the most votes at the center position.

Hamilton and Billups also know what's going on, but they can't even squeeze in the top 6 Eastern Conference guards, which makes people very anxious.

Although the All-Star voting can only determine the starting roster, some league coaches will also refer to the opinions of fans.

Many teams don't have all-star players.

Their head coach usually feels that since no one on the team can get in, then his ticket doesn't mean much.

Anyway, it is to choose stars from other teams to enter the All-Stars, just choose whatever you want.

If someone offered them a basket of fruit, what should they choose?It's so much easier!
"We need better performance, and the next game may be an opportunity." Big Ben encouraged Hamilton and Billups.

The next game is the Pistons playing the Nets at home.

Although the Pistons won last time, they should not underestimate a strong opponent like the Nets.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. If the Pistons want to be recognized by more people and achieve a better record, they must take one step at a time and steadily take down opponents like the Nets.

Fighting tough battles is a test of the strength of the team, as well as the ability of the leading players to lead the team.

After Huo Song, the second head of the team, took office, he spent most of his time abusing food, and he was only one of the Pacers when he really played a strong team.

Of course, Hamilton and Billups also need a record to prove themselves.

They need such an opportunity to deepen the understanding of the head coaches of the league's teams.

Only strong teams will be studied by the coaches of each team and understood by the head coaches of each team.

The results of the first round of voting for the All-Stars were released, which made Hamilton and Billups depressed for a while, but it also made them more self-disciplined for a while.

While the status of the team has declined, the burden on them is also much lighter.

Now Huo Song and Da Ben are attacking and defending one after another, and they are performing extremely well. If it were someone else, the whole thing would be to think about being happy, just lying down and winning.

Hamilton and Billups will also relax, but for the upcoming All-Star weekend, the two have doubled their time to train and improve themselves.

The time came to December 12, when the New Jersey Nets once again visited the Palace of Auburn Hills.

In the jump ball stage, Huo Song didn't find the right rhythm and lost the jump ball to Jason Collins.

Fortunately, the Pistons returned to defense relatively quickly. At first, the Nets couldn't stand the Pistons defense. In the end, they had to hand it over to Corey Kiddles to try a single.

Kidders made a three-pointer in the middle of the shot. This time he tried to step back for a three-pointer, but was interfered by Hamilton and failed to score the ball.

Because of the three-point shot from the outside, the basketball bounced farther away, Huo Song and Da Ben were still on the blue bottom, and Kenyon Martin, who was stuck outside, picked up an offensive rebound instead.

However, Martin's offensive skills are relatively rough. Da Ben stood still and raised his hands high. Martin slammed forward, ready to fight and then shot a layup, but Da Ben fell to the ground and made an offensive foul.

The ball was exchanged, and the Pistons played a positional battle after advancing halftime.

The Nets' defense is not bad, but Kidders is a bit thin.Billups passed the ball to Hamilton, allowing him to single Kiddles.

Kidders was not in time to defend against Hamilton, and as soon as he rushed forward, he was shot by Hamilton with a mid-range shot.

I thought it would be a good start, but Hamilton felt like this once.

Next, the Nets relied on Kidd to break through the basket, pick and roll the ball to Martin, and Martin dunked to recover 2 points.

Billups felt that Hamilton had an advantage in the matchup, so he continued to pass the ball to Hamilton, but Hamilton did not score.

Although the middle distance is the guy Hamilton eats, his hit rate is usually less than 5%, so it's just a strike, but it's nothing.

After the Pistons' offensive round, Billups still looked for opportunities to try to play a few for Hamilton.

After all, when the Nets play the Pistons, there are more inside shots.

If it's just outside shooting, it's basically aimed at sending rebounds.

It is also because Huo Song and Daben are under a lot of pressure to defend inside. The Pistons play more outside lines.

After all, at the critical moment of the second half, it still depends on Huo Song's efforts!

However, as Hamilton made three consecutive irons, the Pistons fell behind by 3 points, and Huo Song had to release early, with full firepower.

Soon, the point difference was recovered to 1 point.

Kidd suddenly made an emergency stop mid-range while holding the ball, but fortunately he didn't score and the point difference didn't widen.

But in a blink of an eye, Billups was a little out of tune, and he was in trouble again.

Billups missed a three-pointer, and the Pistons missed the chance to overtake the score.

Not long after, Kidders suddenly hit a three-pointer from the outside, and the score was pulled to 4 points again.

Larry Brown didn't think it was a big problem. It's impossible for the Nets to kill the game with a three-pointer, right?
It was not until Kidd scored another goal with a small throw, widening the point difference to 6 points, that a timeout was called.

A three-pointer is scored, but the inside line cannot be scored casually.

Hamilton and Billups didn't feel good on the outside, and Larry Brown could only draw tactics for Huo Song, so that Huo Song could lead the team to turn defeat into victory.

In the last 2 minutes of the first quarter, everyone in the audience knew that Huo Song was going to attack with the ball, and the Nets knew it too, but the problem was that they couldn't stop it at all.

The Nets' interior defense is actually okay, but there is a problem with the height.

Huo Song played Martin singles, holding high and hitting high, without any pressure.To hit Collins, just rely on your strength to hit back slowly.

If Huo Song starts playing with the ball in a low position, the Nets still have a chance to resist, but Huo Song initiates from a high position, which cannot be prevented.

Huo Song was double-teamed in the high post and passed the ball to Prince on the weak side. Prince would drive the ball to the basket and kill.

At the same time, Huo Song cuts to the basket, Prince is pinched, and the ball will pass to Huo Song.

"Huo Song's strength is really trustworthy. In just 2 minutes, the point difference was reduced to 1 point."

"In the first quarter, the Pistons' outside touch was really bad!

I can't imagine that in the next three quarters, the outside line of the Pistons can be worse than this?

Once the outside feel warms up, and relying on Huo Song's stable performance on the offensive end, the possibility of the Pistons winning is still relatively high. "

The second quarter started quickly, but the Pistons still haven't recovered their outside shooting touch.

In the second quarter, there were no goals for three consecutive rounds. When Billups asked Huo Song to play a pick-and-roll, he accidentally dribbled the ball to his instep, and Kidd stole the ball.

In just a few rounds, the Pistons were in a state of defeat.

The Nets scored consecutively and missed a goal, which suddenly widened the point difference to 7 points.

Larry Brown had no choice but to call a timeout, but the content of the timeout and the tactics after the timeout can be guessed by the Nets.

The Nets couldn't stop Huo Song in the first quarter, but not necessarily in the second quarter.

It is known that the Pistons have no touch on the outside, so why not send more people into the inside?

"It's too difficult. Today's game is too difficult. No one in the Pistons can help Huo Song. Da Ben didn't make a layup. Huo Song wants to play five!"

"When the starting offense fails, Coach Larry Brown should think of other ways, should he come off the bench and play?"

"Without Huo Song, the second quarter might have collapsed!"

The chain reaction of not being able to shoot from the outside is that the inside is also struggling.

Huo Song's internal offensive ability is already very strong, but two fists are no match for four hands.

In the past, Huo Song could hit more than 6% of his hits, but today he can maintain a 5% hit rate.

Although there are many free throws, Huo Song consumes a lot of energy.

Before the second quarter was over, my face and neck were covered with sweat.

In order to avoid being consumed to death, Huo Song kept distributing the ball to his teammates.

But under the defense of Martin, Big Ben made only two shots at the basket and missed both.

Not to mention the outside line, even Hamilton didn't dare to shoot when he received the ball. He only dared to kill at the basket, or rushed first to create shooting opportunities for other teammates.

That's it, please find Huo Song little by little, and don't give Huo Song any chance to breathe.

Huo Song could only bite the bullet, scored 13 goals in 6 shots in a single quarter, and made 7 of 4 free throws, barely scoring 16 points.

Even so, the Pistons scored 21 points in the second quarter.

No one else can digest the ball, Huo Song's physical strength is exhausted, and the score is falling behind. The situation is very unfavorable for the Pistons.

After the halftime break, the third quarter kicked off quickly.

But Huo Song didn't come up at first, but continued to rest for a while.

In order to keep Huo Song until the critical moment, Larry Brown could only let Okur play a few games.

Because the Pistons needed someone to score at the rim, Okur couldn't play the way he was good at and struggled.

On the Nets side, Jefferson kept hitting the basket, flying into the sky and escaping from the ground, and his expressive power exploded.

Relying on Okur and Daben, the Pistons did not hit the basket, and occasionally scored two points and one point. It was extremely difficult to increase the score.

When Huo Song returned to the court and scored two consecutive rounds, the Pistons were considered alive.

The point difference has narrowed to 7 points, and with a little more effort, the point difference can be reduced to less than 5 points.

However, at this moment, Kidd, who is usually as strong as Kobe, suddenly came out.

"Jason Kidd hit a three-pointer, and the point difference was opened to 10 points again!"

"Oh my god, this three-pointer is too deadly. The Pistons just stopped the defeat, and now they are pulled away again."

"The Pistons needed a second person to come forward. Huo Song fought alone, and it was really hard."

"Richard played the same as Shi today, but he will definitely find his touch in the future. He can help Huo Song share the pressure."

When others can't stand up, the commentator can only expect Hamilton to stand up.

The score is behind, counting on Billups is not enough.

If you waste the ball again, the Pistons will be knocked down with a sap, and they will not be able to stand up at all.

At this time, taking two points is more certain than taking three points, and it can also mobilize the enthusiasm of the team.

After all, scoring two points in a row is more certain than hitting three points in a row.

As long as the team keeps scoring, it feels hopeful even down to the last second.

"Go in, it's unbelievable, Huo Song hit a three-pointer! The Pistons actually made a three-pointer by Huo Song!"

Huo Song saw that the point difference was a bit big, and the Nets' defensive strategy against the Pistons was loose on the outside and tight on the inside.

At this time, even though Huo Song has removed Wiggins' shooting bag, he can still try to shoot a three-pointer and make a cold shot!

Anyway, I missed the shot, and I didn't blame Huo Song.

The three quarters were not over yet, and Huo Song had already scored 25 points, not including the previous three-pointer. Huo Song scored two-fifths of the Pistons' points. Huo Songlang made a three-pointer, which was nothing.

But this time, wealth and wealth are in danger, and Huo Song scored a three-pointer to help the Pistons survive.

Unexpectedly, Kidd's touch came, and he made a three-pointer directly outside the three-point line in the next round.

"Answer Ball!" Responded with a three-pointer, and still scored two three-pointers in a row, which made the Pistons quite depressed.

After finally narrowing the point gap, Kidd returned a three-pointer. Before Huo Song made a three-pointer stealing the chicken, it was tantamount to a wasted shot.

Next, Huo Song continued to pick and roll with the ball in a high position and make shooting moves.

Prince ran down the low post, and Huo Song passed the ball, but Kidd predicted it.

Huo Song's pass was not low, and he even made a three-pointer just now. It stands to reason that the Nets would rather let Huo Song pass the ball and let the rest of the Pistons score two points at the basket than give Huo Song another pass. A chance to shoot a three-pointer.

But Kidd came out out of nowhere and stole the ball. Taking advantage of Huo Song and Prince's reaction, he immediately dribbled the ball and launched a fast break.

When Huo Song turned around and chased after him, it was already too late.

At this time, Kidd played like a god, and there was no one under the basket, but as a shooter, he believed that he could put the ball into the basket all the time.

Chasing three points!

After Kidd took the shot, he seemed to realize that the ball could be scored, so he returned to the defense directly, walking cleanly and handsomely.

Kidd crossed the middle circle and returned to the backcourt. Huo Song and others crossed the middle circle and rushed to the backcourt. At this time, the ball had just entered the basket.

in!

Kidd hit three consecutive three-pointers.

One second Huo Song was extremely hot, sweating profusely, and the next second his back felt chilly, as if he was in an ice cellar.

"What the hell, what a mess! Did you agree to attack?"

Huo Song was beaten so badly before, so it was against O'Neill.

This time, Kidd walked the dog back and forth, and watched Kidd play bravely, it really felt special in my heart.

In the traditional basketball era, someone can hit three three-pointers in a row, which is really no different from witnessing a miracle.

The Pistons fans at the scene were in great pain, but no one shouted or booed. They could only silently stand up from their seats and watch for a while.

The point difference was too big, and Huo Song's physical strength was also failing. Thinking of going to Atlanta at night, Huo Song had nothing to worry about and continued to play on the court.

Perhaps Huo Song's attitude was wrong, but Huo Song himself knew how much he weighed.

Without the support of small assistants and without the endurance of physical strength, Huo Song could not be as fierce as before.

In other words, unless other teammates stand up, the game is irreversible.

"I lost. I still wanted to win." Huo Song, who sat on the bench for most of the fourth quarter, said with some melancholy.

Da Ben patted Huo Song on the shoulder: "It's because we didn't do well enough.

In the regular season, when we encounter opponents who are close in strength, we cannot always win, but we cannot always lose.

Don't think too much, tomorrow will be fine. "

"Well, I just feel that I can grow up and become stronger sooner. I hope I can do more things for the team."

Although Huo Song gave up early, he was still a little bit reconciled to losing the game.

With a towel on his head, Hamilton was a little frustrated: "I played too badly. If I made one or two more goals, the result of the game might be different."

"Come on, losing a game is not unacceptable."

Huo Song and the others couldn't believe it when they heard this, but based on their reputation, it was indeed from Larry Brown.

Is the sun coming out west?
