Chapter 290
The scene is unfavorable, the rhythm is out of control, and the score is behind. D'Antoni's style has not changed, and he still has not carried out a large rotation. Sen got the chance to play.

The Pistons had an eye-popping upset in the finals last season, overturning the Lakers' "F4" superstar combination and attracting everyone's attention. Other teams began to focus on the players in the Pistons lineup.

The Pistons can only focus on the big and let go of the small, and keep important players such as Rasheed Wallace with a big contract. Other players can stay if they can. After going to the Lakers, Sura and Mike James went to the Rockets, leaving only the No. 03 Milicic of the [-] Platinum Generation, and almost no famous substitutes.

In order to retain the complete Pistons Five Tigers, the Pistons paid for the thickness of the bench.

Larry Brown left only the undead Hamilton and Iron Man Prince, and replaced Milicic, Lynch Hunter, and Antonio McDavis.

Big Ben, Rasheed, and Billups sat on the bench to rest. After all, now that the Pistons are leading, the Suns should be anxious.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Suns had the right to attack the ball first, but Nash still couldn't get up to speed. Lynch Xiangzhi, who replaced Billups, followed the same pattern and oppressed Nash.

Although due to the opponent's strength, Nash's opportunity to improve is much easier, but it is not so simple to speed up and run away.

In the positional battle, it was still a diamond tactic. Nash dribbled the ball to the frontcourt without stopping for half a point, directly broke through with the ball in the middle, and played a pick-and-roll with Stoudemire.

Lynch Hunt and Milicic directly double-clamped Nash, and there was a clear snap, and Nash made a ground-hitting pass. The basketball bounced off the floor and fell into Stoudemire's hands. With long legs, he took a step and rushed to the inside line, with a flat river in front of him.

Holding the ball under the basket, he took off step by step, his body stretched in the air, and his right hand smashed the basketball into the basket heavily in the air.

A loud bang!
Tomahawk split button, two points succeeded!

29 to 22! !
As soon as the game started, Nash and Stoudemire played a wonderful match and played a wonderful dunk attack.

In the transition between offense and defense, Lynch enjoys dribbling the ball to the frontcourt, and directly accelerates with a cross change direction. He enters the three-point line and takes one step from the free throw line.

There was a bang and a crisp iron strike.

Lynch Hunter missed a simple offensive shot and bounced out of the frame.

With a height of 213cm, Milicic overwhelmed Stoudemire and grabbed the rebound, but he dribbled and turned around, but the second attack was interrupted by Stoudemire, so he had to split the ball to the outside.

Hamilton deftly got rid of Lin Bai, stepped forward to respond, caught the ball and raised it directly, and shot a jumper.

Bang!
There seems to be a big problem with Hamilton's touch, and his mid-range shooting skills are cooling down.

The basketball still missed and bounced out of the frame.

Stoudemire jumped up from the basket, took off the rebound, landed an unexpected dribble, and then passed the ball to Nash for a quick counterattack.

Jacobson, Marion, and Lin Bai fired three lines and rushed to the frontcourt, speeding up.

Nash dribbled a step, without any extra movement, and directly made a long pass without looking at people while running. The basketball was like a missile in the air, and it accurately found Lin Bai on the right.

Hamilton's speed was not slow either. Lin Bai didn't force a shot, and directly distributed the ball to the inside without stopping.

Marion outflanked from the middle, slapped his horse to catch up, he arrived at the ball, easily caught the ball, took one step to the basket, turned 90 degrees in the air, and poured the basketball in with his hands behind his back, scoring a two-pointer.

29 to 22! !
The Suns played a good offense and defense, scored 4 points in a row, and slowly narrowed the score.

Next, the Suns' offense didn't work either. Nash dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and played a pick-and-roll with Stoudemire.

When the Pistons misplaced and switched defenses, Nash gave Stoudemire the ball. Facing the 188cm tall Lynch Hunter, Stoudemire missed a two-point jumper.

Fortunately, the Pistons' offense was also misfired. Milicic received Lynch Hunter's point, singled out Stoudemire with his back, turned around and shot a jumper, but missed.

Milicic has good physical talent, tall and long arms, flexible feet, outstanding jumping, and a soft touch, full of offensive talent.

However, Larry Brown looked down on Milicic's defense and confrontation, and took Milicic, who was playing power forward, to the center to fight against others.

Milicic has outstanding talent, so why would the No. 03 pick of the [-] Platinum Generation be willing, but it doesn't matter if Milicic is unwilling?Last season, the Serbian team had Rashid, Big Ben, and Okur inside.

He can't compete with these opponents at all, so he can only obediently train his strength and fight against the inside line. He is already far behind the top picks, third picks, and top ten rookies in the same session. He can only work hard and find someone to play at all costs Opportunity, he didn't have the opportunity to pick and choose, he only asked to play as much as possible to prove that he is not the "second place in parallel imports", he just didn't have the opportunity to prove himself.

However, trying to prove yourself on the wrong path is wrong from the beginning, and no matter how hard you try, you will never be right.

Defensively, he has no stature and strength, nor technology and consciousness. How can he resist the opponent's attack if he has no height?

As a result, Milicic became the team's defensive loophole. He could have proved his talent on the offensive end, but he couldn't get into Larry Brown's eyes because he couldn't defend.

If you don't know how to defend, you will have no playing time. If you have poor defense, you will not be reused. There is no tactical arrangement, no right to shoot the ball, and no guarantee of playing time.

Milicic can only prove himself with his weakest defense. As a result, he desperately tried to make up for his defensive problems, but found that he had lost his best offense!
In the 03-04 season, Milicic averaged only 1.8 points and 1.2 rebounds per game, and he didn't play much time. He was named a championship, which can be said to be worth it.

However, this season, Okur is gone, and Milicic still doesn't have enough playing time, and he doesn't show any improvement. The current average data is only 1.9 points and 1.5 rebounds per game, which is simply miserable.

When James, Anthony, Wade, and Bosh of the 03 platinum generation became the cornerstone of a team, and even the head of the ball, Milicic was still worrying about playing time. + data, and he has been mixed for two years as the No. 20 pick, but he is still working hard to break the terrible data of 2 points per game.

However, his efforts seemed to have entered a dead end.

I am good at offense, but the team plays defense. If you want to play, you must prove your defensive ability.

What kind of rule is this?
Soon, due to the poor offense of the Pistons and the Suns desperately chasing points on defense, Milicic played for less than 3 minutes and was replaced again.

Another failed start tonight!
