I just want to lie down and win

Chapter 96 Rasheed, are you interested in playing for the Pistons? (4000, please subscribe!)
"Losing a game is not a loss, we just encountered a little setback."

"Losing is lucky and unfortunate.

Unfortunately we lost a game, but luckily we can learn from it.

If there is no way to rely on offense and win the game by touch, then do a good job of defense in a down-to-earth manner.

Only defense is the most stable, and only defense can bring results.

We can do better, we must do better. "

It's not the same as before, Larry Brown yelled and lost his temper in the locker room after losing.

This time Larry Brown just reasoned with everyone sincerely, emphasizing the importance of defense.

Does defense matter?That is of course very important!

Without defense, even a college team can beat the Dream Team.

This has happened more than once in history.

When the Dream Team was just training, everyone didn't cooperate. The stars didn't know who was going to defend. They wanted others to do the dirty work, so they were slapped in the face by a group of young college students.

However, an extremely complete team like the Pistons still needs to emphasize defense and improve defense?

Are you sure there is room for improvement?

Yes, but it's hard to improve.

As for the team, the Pistons have done the best they can.

The rest, can only look at the individual team.

Of course, Larry Brown is also clear about this.

But Larry Brown knows better that every successful defense is mainly due to active defense.

The more motivated and aggressive the defensive players are, the higher the defensive success rate will be.

And stealthy tricks, annoying trash talk, or even inadvertently throwing sweat on the opponent's face can increase the success rate of defense.

Pistons players can actually go a step further in increasing defensive efficiency.

Sometimes defending too honestly and cleanly is not a good thing.

Larry Brown constantly taught the Pistons players to play as the bad guys.

Because I lost to the Nets, and I still want to win the next time I meet, I don't want to taste the bitter taste of failure again.

Pistons players are humbly accepting Larry Brown's teachings, and Huo Song is no exception.

Huo Song's defense mostly depends on his talent, his size, and his opponent's rough skills, so he can't stand him.

But the defensive aggressiveness and small moves are still a bit worse.

In fact, Daben has a lot of defensive tricks, but with Huo Song, he didn't deal with Huo Song like this, so that Huo Song felt that the defense should be clean and won with strength.

When Huo Song understood how to defend properly, the Pistons and his team got on the plane and rushed to Atlanta overnight.

Playing the Eagles is still simple. Even if the Pistons don't feel good, they can still win the basic set with defense.

However, this time it was good. Hamilton and Billups, who had a bad hand yesterday, played harder than the other.

At first, Huo Song asked them to try their hands, but later they felt so good and had a strong desire to attack.

Huo Song felt that such a game was not bad, so he gave up the ball.

It was originally a back-to-back match, and yesterday's physical exertion was a lot. It is also a good thing to be able to touch fish and be lazy.

Ever since, relying on the outstanding performance of Hamilton and Billups, Huo Song clocked in three quarters, made 10 of 7 shots, 4 of 3 free throws, and scored 17 points, as if he had returned to the time when he limited his shots.

Easily defeating the Eagles made Huo Song realize that it is not necessary to give his best in every game.

With the help of teammates, you can play more easily and more steadily.

Playing in the NBA, you need helpers all the time, and the more helpers you have, the better.

Even if someone like Huo Song plays inside, his scoring is usually relatively stable, but if his teammates are in good condition, why not give the ball to his teammates?
There's more than one way to win.

Therefore, this made Huo Song even more looking forward to the brother basketball in a few years.

Time passed quickly, in the blink of an eye, two days passed.

On December 12, the Pistons played at home against the Hornets.

The Hornets are really in good shape this season, starting with 19 wins and 11 losses, ranking fourth in the Eastern Conference.

At the beginning of the game, the Hornets caused some trouble for the Pistons.

Huo Song lost the jump ball to Jamal Magloire. The Hornets went straight to the fast break. .

For the Pistons, Hamilton failed to score the first shot.

After PJ Brown grabbed a defensive rebound, the Hornets made another fast break counterattack.

The Pistons' backcourt players returned to the defense quickly, but David Wesley, like a star, made an unreasonable emergency stop jumper and scored the ball against Hamilton's defense.

In the offensive round of the Pistons, Billups rushed inside and wanted to turn the tide, but the breakthrough route was blocked and he could only pass the ball to Prince.

Prince felt that it was a good opportunity to be in the open position. He made a mid-range shot, but failed to help the Pistons make the ball and recover two points.

Fortunately, the rebound was protected by Huo Song. Huo Song forced a dunk, but was held back by PJ Brown. The dunk turned into a layup. The ball hadn't been made yet, but there were still two free throws.

With Huo Song making two free throws, the Pistons finally scored.

After going through this difficult moment at the beginning, the Pistons finally came alive.

Relying on Baron Davis' two consecutive irons to find a chance to reverse, Hamilton and Billups each scored a goal to overtake the score.

David Wesley relied on his personal ability to hit mid-range shots to chase points, but Billups continued to hit David Wesley on the back, increasing David Wesley's consumption, and successfully put David Wesley Redeem.

The point where the Hornets feel the best is blocked, and it is not so easy for others to score in the Pistons' iron-blooded defensive lineup.

Halfway through the first quarter, the Pistons began to grasp the rhythm of the game and stabilized the point difference at about 5 points.

By the end of the first quarter, the advantage had grown to 7 points.

Because Hamilton was in good condition, Huo Song took the initiative to discuss with Larry Brown during the intermission, and let Hamilton lead the team to play the second quarter.

Larry Brown nodded, and Hamilton also thanked Huo Song for giving him the opportunity and the ball. He led the team to play very well in the second quarter.

Huo Song only played half of the second quarter, maintained his form, and scored in double figures.

Hamilton, on the other hand, played the entire first half and scored 17 points.

The Pistons took an 11-point lead in the first half with Hamilton's main attack.

After halftime, the game in the third quarter is quite important.

As soon as it came up, Billups hit a three-pointer, which made the Hornets mess up.

Immediately afterwards, Huo Song hit two baskets in a row, and the Pistons set off a small climax of 11 to 2.

Just when Huo Song thought he could leave work early, Baron Davis suddenly turned on the button of the gods and hit a key three-pointer, stabilizing the morale of the Hornets that was about to collapse.

Precisely at this time, the outside line of the Pistons felt inaccurate under the active defense of the Hornets.

Baron Davis went to the basket again and managed to score with a small throw. The difference between the two rounds was recovered by 5 points in an instant, which brought a lot of hope to the Hornets.

Huo Song reached out to the basket to single out Jamal Magloire, who would rather foul than let Huo Song score directly.

In the next two free throws, Huo Song only hit one of them. In fact, the other goal looked like it could be scored, but his state declined a little. He bounced a few times on the basket but failed to hit the net.

According to Huo Song's thinking, it may be that the Hornets played too much in the first half and bent the basket.

So in the second half, the Pistons' outside shooting percentage dropped a lot.

Tucao is Tucao, the goal that should be scored still has to be scored.

With Baron Davis hitting another 10-pointer, the difference between the two teams was recovered to about [-] points, which made the Pistons desperate for someone who could score some points in the open game.

There is no doubt that Huo Song will need to sweat next.

The third quarter was less than half a quarter, but Huo Song still had energy.

Sideline pick-and-rolls, breakthroughs with the ball, pretending to make big loops and fouls, but actually making small throws.

At the same time as Huo Song shot, Jamal Magloire still rushed forward. Fortunately, Huo Song's small throw was too high and it was difficult to block the shot. Huo Song scored the ball and received an additional penalty .

Spitting on his fingertips, he dribbled the ball to relax his arm muscles, Huo Song threw the ball according to his free throw rhythm.

Extra penalty hit!

With Huo Song scoring 2 points in a row at 1+3, the point difference on the court was approaching 15 points again.

Baron Davis scored three goals in a row before and scored 8 points. He thinks that he is in a good state and can turn the tide and help the building to collapse.

As a result, he relied too much on three-pointers, shooting three-pointers in a row, missing in a row, and giving the Pistons the ball in a row.

Although the Pistons didn't make the conversion every time, but only grasped one of them, they got another 2 points, and the point difference returned to 15 points.

Overall, after the third quarter, the two teams performed equally well.

The Pistons failed to further widen the point difference, and the Hornets' morale was not broken, but they did not recover the point difference.

The fourth quarter was supposed to be a bayonet fight, but Billups suddenly got hot and hit two consecutive three-pointers, making the game lose suspense in an instant.

The Hornets gritted their teeth and continued to think about chasing points and turning defeat into victory, but the Pistons took it easy and continued to play according to the plan.

In order to ensure the victory of the game, Larry Brown suppressed Huo Song's time on the bench in the fourth quarter.

By the halfway point of the fourth quarter, there was still an 18-point gap in the score, so there was no need for Huo Song to play, and the outcome had already been decided.

But the main players of the Hornets are still on the court, Huo Song can only give up his life to accompany the gentleman, and accidentally scored 30+10.

It stands to reason that Huo Song played a bit too much, and he swiped the data during the garbage time, and he swiped quite aggressively.

But after the game, Baron Davis took the initiative to approach Huo Song: "Can I exchange jerseys with you?"

A while ago, Huo Song had some conflicts with Baron Davis on the court. At that time, Baron Davis was obviously not as polite to Huo Song as he is now.

However, after a while, Baron Davis wanted to call Huo Song brothers and sisters.

Thinking of Jessica, Huo Song said: "I'm committed to you brother!"

"It's my honor. In our Chinese language, it means 'to stick to one's wishes, but not to ask one's ears'.

Byron, you are very strong, you and your team are very strong.

I'm just a rookie, so I should be the one asking you to swap jerseys with me. "

Everyone loves a good word, and Baron Davis was no exception.

"Haha, brother, you are welcome to come to New Orleans as a guest, and then I will show you the style of the Gulf of Mexico!"

Baron Davis traded jerseys with Huo Song, took pictures in front of media reporters, and then hugged.

"When will we meet next time? Is it the All-Star Weekend? I believe we may become teammates before we become rivals." Huo Song said suddenly.

Baron Davis smiled: "Brother, I would like to borrow your good words. I hope you have a pleasant evening, bye, and see you next time."

In this way, Huo Song somehow got another brother with a big beard.

Huo Song said that I keep myself clean and don't want to experience any Gulf of Mexico style at all, but sometimes it is necessary to take care of my brother's face.

It is said that the Hornets just left here, but another strong enemy came to Detroit.

The Portland Trail Blazers had just defeated the Nets and rushed to Detroit in a murderous spirit.

Knowing that Rasheed Wallace was coming, Huo Song not only had no intention of fighting, but wanted to be hospitable.

Huo Song is not from Zaun, and hospitality is what it means.

"Rashid, are you interested in playing for the Pistons?"

Rasheed Wallace didn't know that Huo Song was inviting him sincerely, and thought that Huo Song was talking trash to him.

Therefore, Huo Song didn't have any ideas at all, he just wanted to beat Huo Song in the game.

Now that Rasheed Wallace is still the leader of the Blazers, why did he come to the Pistons?
Come to the Pistons, can he be the boss?
No!

Can I be the second child?
also can not!
"You kid, a rookie, dare to talk trash to me? Go back to your mother Fakri and ask your mother." Roaring Tianzun roared angrily.

Ever since, before the game started, the referee had already paid [-] points of attention, staring at Rasheed Wallace alone.

Last year, Rasheed Wallace threatened the referee Donagher off the court, which made him even more "care" by the referee.

In order to solve Rasheed Wallace's problem, in addition to the penalty of suspension, the league also specially sent veteran referees to stare at Rasheed Wallace alone.

Because of hatred, the other referees in the league blow the Blazers' games, and the Blazers are all at a disadvantage.

With Zach Randolph playing better and better, the Blazers do have the idea of ​​​​changing their masters.

You must know that Randolph is still in the rookie contract, but Rasheed Wallace is the highest paid player in the Trail Blazers.

Before Rasheed Wallace led the team, the future is basically a round trip.

Since you can't achieve results, then change someone to lead the team.

And this also means that Rasheed Wallace is not untradeable.

On the contrary, the Blazers may be able to go further in the West by trading off the All-Star Rasheed Wallace and replacing an All-Star or two or three starting-level players from other teams.

As far as Dohuosong is concerned, once Rasheed Wallace is swept out by the Blazers, the Pistons will hope to dominate the Eastern Conference, defeat the Lakers F4 in the finals, and win the championship.

If Rasheed Wallace is missed, even if Rasheed Wallace doesn't fit in, the Pistons will have an extra All-Star insider in vain.

At that time, playing alternately with Huo Song and Da Ben, the Pistons' inside strength will be very terrifying.

And Rasheed Wallace himself is very mature on both offense and defense, but he lacks the attributes of leading the team.

Presumably, after learning that they can win the championship, some people who don't fit in will become very team members and are willing to cooperate with their teammates.

At that time, Huo Song can sit back and relax and win.
