Chapter 337 Victory over the Pistons

The game started in the second quarter, and both sides made a small rotation.

In fact, the substitution styles of Larry Brown and D'Antoni are not much different.

Larry Brown likes to use the Pistons to death, prefers veterans, and doesn't trust rookies as substitutes.

D'Antoni also rotates with 7 people, and he can hardly train rookies.

As for Marion, Stoudemire, and Joe Johnson, they are all combat power left by their predecessors.

Both Nash and Richardson joined the Suns after they were famous.

In the second quarter, the Pistons' offense still did not improve.

Hamilton's touch is not on the line, but more about choosing pass assists.

Big Ben and Prince were replaced, they didn't play much time, and their contributions were very limited.

Billups and Rasheed took over the Pistons' offense.

Billups started to shoot three-pointers coldly. Seeing that the three-pointer shooting rate was not high, he immediately used his strong physique to bully Nash, carried Nash's body, rushed to the inside, and launched an attack from close range.

Such a simple and direct style of play is actually very efficient, almost hitting Nash one by one.

If the Suns flank, Billups will hand the ball to Hamilton.

That is to say, Hamilton's lack of touch, missed shots one after another, and changed the pass to assist, which allowed the Pistons to play a good offense.

If the Pistons' outside offense is not strong, Billups will pass the ball to Rasheed.

Rasheed single-handedly played Marion very reliably, even though Marion adapted to Rasheed's offensive rhythm.

Billups can also calmly change tactics to deal with it, for example, holding the ball in the middle and Rasheed playing pick-and-roll cooperation.

Nash is a defensive loophole. With strong offense and weak defense, he can only become a defensive loophole for the Suns.

Rashid is a team-based team, who can organize, pass, shoot, and screen. He has a very comprehensive style of play and has good shooting skills.

Rasheed and Billups played a pick-and-roll, allowing Rasheed to dislocate and single out Nash. With such a targeted attack, even if the Suns assist in defense, Rasheed can also support the pass.

Fortunately, Antonio McDyess and Carlos Arroyo came off the bench, and they didn't feel good.

In addition, Hamilton, the first scorer of the Pistons, is not going well in offense.

In the second quarter, even if the Pistons found the Suns' defensive weakness and kept attacking, they still only scored 25 points.

The Suns' outside offensive firepower began to pick up.

Richardson felt hot, made 4 of 4 shots in a single quarter, 2 of 2 three-pointers, scored 10 points and 1 rebound efficiently, and stubbornly counterattacked from the outside.

As Richardson's offensive threat soared, Stoudemire's offensive space in the interior increased.

That is to say, Joe Johnson and Marion's hands were too bad, so the Suns' offensive firepower did not go berserk.

However, relying on the offensive firepower of Stoudemire and Richardson inside and outside, the Suns still scored 28 points.

At the end of the first half, the Phoenix Suns led the Detroit Pistons by 52 points 49 to 3 and entered the locker room to rest.

Back in the second half of the game, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

The game started in the third quarter, and the situation on the field changed suddenly. The offense of the Pistons was very sharp, as if they were enlightened, and they played an offensive offensive that everyone was a soldier and multi-point blossomed.

Rashid made 4 of 4 shots and blasted the inside of the Suns. Hamilton made 4 of 3 shots and also hit a three-pointer.

The five tigers of the Pistons showed their power collectively, and the Suns were on the verge of faltering offensively, retreating steadily.

Billups, Ben Wallace, and Prince can also score points, scoring 29 points in a single quarter.

Not bad for a defensive team.

In addition to being sharp offensively, the Pistons are also very stable defensively. They have strengthened the strength of the defense and overwhelmed the offense of the Suns.

The outside team composed of Marion, Joe Johnson, and Richardson misfired, and the three only scored 3 points.

Relying on Nash and Stoudemire's pick-and-roll cooperation, they continue to attack. Although the offensive efficiency is not high, at least it will not make the Suns' offense too ugly.

The Suns, which can be called the most offensive firepower in the league, were suppressed by the suffocating defense of the Pistons and scored only 16 points in the third quarter.

Relying on their efforts in the third quarter, the Pistons turned away and led the Suns by 78 points 68 to 10, entering the final decisive battle of the fourth quarter.

The fourth quarter started, the Suns fought back, and Stoudemire began to exert his strength. He shot well on offense, scored frequently, and blocked shots on defense, showing his physical talent.

Lead the Suns to play a multi-point blooming, and the offensive tide of the whole people is soldiers.

Then Nash and Marion took over the offensive banner, played half a quarter in the fourth quarter, hit a wave of 23 to 10 shock waves, overtook the score, and directly stopped the Pistons.

The offensive firepower of the Pistons was directly misfired. Billups, Hamilton, Rasheed, Prince, and Arroyo, who was on the bench, fell to freezing point, making people doubt their lives.

The Suns' offensive firepower is very stable. Although they don't take many three-pointers, they hit a high percentage of two-pointers, which made the Pistons' iron-blooded defense stumble.

Larry Brown is a down-to-earth defensive coach. Now that the Pistons' shooting percentage is sinking like diving, he has not withdrawn.

It can only call a timeout to interrupt the offensive rhythm of the Suns. At the same time, it emphasizes the correct way of playing basketball and strengthens the defensive strength.

As for offense?He has no suggested arrangements, and almost all of them are handed over to the stars to solve the battle.

Back from the timeout, Billups dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, did not rush to attack, and patiently organized support.

Hamilton ran back, threw off Joe Johnson's defense, and cut into the inside.

There was a loud bang!
Billups hit the ground and passed the ball to Hamilton.

Hamilton immediately lifted the ball over the top and made a two-point jump shot.

Seeing Joe Johnson rushing over, Hamilton slammed directly into Joe Johnson's arms, and then threw the basketball in his hand to the basket.

beep! !

The whistle in the referee's mouth sounded, and Joe Johnson was called for a thug foul. Hamilton got two free throws.

At the free throw line, Hamilton made two free throws against the boos of the home fans.

Bring the scores of both sides closer to one point.

However, Nash stood up at this time, dribbled to the frontcourt, and took advantage of Billups's weakness in lateral movement.

With a step down and a cross step to change direction, he immediately shortened his body and used his feet to break through to the inside. In the restricted area full of people, Nash did not find a suitable opportunity to make a move.

Relying on his superb dribbling skills, he directly hit the bottom line.

Snapped!
Just when the Pistons thought that Nash would dribble out, Nash came up with an unconstrained back-to-back hit.

After the basketball hit the floor, it bounced and flew to the left corner. Marion pulled the ball beyond the three-point line, caught the ball without stopping for half a point, and used his awkward shooting posture against Rasheed's defense to shoot a three-pointer .

Swish! !

Although Marion's shooting posture is not good-looking, it is very lethal when it is accurate.

With Marion's precise three-pointer, the Suns opened the score to 4 points.

The Pistons' offense was still not smooth, Rasheed missed a mid-range shot, Ben Wallace took off the rebound and passed the ball to Hamilton who entered through an air cut.

After catching the ball and making a forced shot, Hamilton played very resolutely, but Stoudemire knocked Hamilton to the ground with the ball directly.

Even if he pays for a foul and sends Hamilton to the free throw line for a free throw, Stoudemire will not let the Pistons easily score a sports ball.

Although Hamilton made free throws at the free throw line and scored two free throws steadily, the Suns' offense was also unsolvable.

Nash played directly with Stoudemire in the pick-and-roll.

Subsequently, Nash assigned the basketball to Stoudemire's hands.

Facing the pincer attack from the Pistons, Stoudemire played very strongly, catching the ball and pulling it up directly, opening his hand to make a two-pointer.

Swish!
Stoudemire scored two points domineeringly, and continued to maintain the pressure on the Pistons.

Immediately afterwards, the Pistons shot back, and Billups and Prince made consecutive shots and scored 4 points in a row.

However, Nash played the demeanor of a superstar, assisted Stoudemire in two consecutive shots, and also used his housekeeping skills to make a sudden three-pointer, accurately hit the key three-pointer, and steadily won the score. lead.

Control the rhythm and wind direction of the game.

The Pistons had no choice but to shoot a three-pointer. Rasheed showed the scoring ability with a three-point range, but the time left for the Pistons was running out.

At the end of the game, the Phoenix Suns reversed at home and defeated the Detroit Pistons. While ending their opponent's 8-game winning streak, they also won a wave of 4 consecutive victories.
