Chapter 386 Lost streak
At the beginning of the second quarter, both teams performed certain rotations.

D'Antoni chose to replace Lin Bai, Barbosa and Diaw.

Pistons head coach Larry Brown replaced Big Ben and Billups with Arroyo and McDyess.

The second quarter started, and after the five Pistons were broken up, the offensive firepower of the Pistons dropped rapidly.

Without Billups' organization and regulation, under Arroyo's control of the ball, the Pistons, which had pure offensive firepower, showed their true colors.

Arroyo's style of play is a bit gorgeous and unique. When dribbling to the frontcourt, he either directly uses his own speed to attack suddenly, and when he gets to the inside, he stops and shoots a jump shot when he has a chance, or he just shakes the angle and opens his hand. Start shooting.

In terms of team cooperation, there is only pick-and-roll cooperation, but it is to distribute the ball to teammates for star individual singles.

Hamilton plays off the ball, and he needs the assist ability of his teammates very much. However, Arroyo can't give Hamilton a comfortable pass, often because of wrong rhythm or jet lag, which wastes his offensive space without using physical strength. .

Without a wide field of vision, the Pistons' offensive firepower dropped a notch under Arroyo's control of the ball.

Prince's strong play at the basket and Rashid's powerful singles score did not make the Pistons' offensive score too ugly.

Only 22 points were scored in the second quarter, and the offensive efficiency dropped sharply.

In addition to the unsmooth offensive firepower, the Pistons' defense also had many problems.

The defensive system of the Pistons is built on Daben. He is the cornerstone of the Pistons' defense. Although Daben's offense is very ugly, and because of his muscles, his free throw percentage is extremely poor, but he is the best in the league. The best defensive player, he was the best defensive player last season.

With Big Ben in the lineup, the defensive strength of the Pistons is not just a strong individual defense ability at work, but a team's defense.

If Big Ben is not on the court, the Pistons' defensive strength and ability to protect the frame will drop a notch.

In addition, Arroyo is 185cm tall, which is a natural defensive loophole in itself.

When the Pistons' defense had problems, the Suns showed no mercy and attacked the Pistons' problems.

Barbosa dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and began to rush up, using his speed to hit the Pistons' basket frequently, forcing layups one after another.

Audi used his omnipotence as the pivot of the Suns to thread the needle for his teammates, organize support, transfer the basketball to the most threatening place, and make the Suns' offense very organized.

Lin Bai was on the three-point line, bombing the Pistons' basket with precise three-pointers, which made the Pistons lose sight of one another and retreat steadily.

The inside line of the Suns still hasn't opened up the situation, but it is much better than the first quarter.

52 to 52! !
After the first half of the game, the Suns stubbornly pulled the scores of the two sides back to the same starting line, and the two sides fought evenly.

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

The Pistons rotate only 8 people, and even Milicic, the No. 03 pick of the [-] Platinum Generation, has no chance to play. In the past two seasons, with the joining of Larry Brown, the Pistons have not cultivated a single rookie. Five tigers conquer the world.

It is impossible for Larry Brown to use the starting players to play the entire game just after the start of the new season. However, if the Pistons do not play together, the offensive and defensive tactics will not be able to be played. In the third quarter, Hamilton began to exert force.

Using off-ball running skills and teammates' pick-and-roll screens, frequently ran out of the offensive space, caught the ball and made shots, or easily scored layups.

Ruby Pusi's surgical pass has improved the Pistons' offensive firepower a lot.

However, Rasheed's playing time has been reduced, and the Pistons' subsequent offensive firepower is still a bit difficult to open when Daben's offense is almost negligible.

The internal and external offensive combination of the Suns played the offensive firepower of all the people. Although the offensive rhythm of the Pistons was suppressed, it was impossible to continue the strong firepower, and the Pistons were killed by a wave of waves, but the Pistons were still 29. 21, leading the Pistons by 8 points, entering the final decisive battle of the fourth quarter.

The game started in the fourth quarter, both sides did not retain their strength and went all out to win.

The Pistons had the right to attack the ball first. Billups dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and saw Hamilton run back and cut into the inside.

However, Hamilton's offense did not stop. He took Galabelle to the bottom line, crossed from the right to the left, and used the closed-door cover tactics in Daben's inside line to block Galabel's follow-up defense and let Hamilton on the left. ran out of space.

Billups didn't pause for half a point, and immediately passed the ball. Hamilton caught the ball, immediately bent his knees and jumped up, opened his hand for a two-pointer, stopped and shot a mid-range jumper.

Swish! !

There was a clear sound of wiping the net, and Hamilton's two-point jumper made a steady two-pointer.

Afterwards, Nash dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, dribbled continuously, broke through Billups from the middle, hit the three-pointer, took a step to the free throw line, and immediately drew his bow and arrow. cast.

Ben's defensive speed was very fast, but he still couldn't stop Nash's calm shot. The basketball flew over Ben's head, drawing a very high arc.

Bang!
As if the basketball had eyes, it hit the center of the backboard accurately, then got into the basket and scored a two-point throw.

The Suns played very tenaciously on offense, not afraid of the Pistons' desperate counterattack.

However, in order to compete for the top spot in the regular season, the Pistons also showed their strength to play in the finals.

Strengthen the defensive strength and physical confrontation, and siege the Suns inside.

The pick-and-roll cooperation between Nash and Marion was directly prevented from doubting his life, and he missed consecutive shots.

The inside offense did not get space, Thomas couldn't hit the mid-range shot, and the inside offense expanded and fell into a quagmire.

The Suns couldn't open the situation inside and still wanted to attack from the outside. However, the shooting percentage of the Suns players dropped seriously in the fourth quarter.

Nash shot a three-pointer from the middle, was interfered by the defensive Billups, and missed.

Garabel's rhythm in the first three quarters was very good, and his three-point shooting was also eye-catching. However, in the crucial fourth quarter, his three-point shots were frequently missed.

Jones didn't have three-point shooting and mid-range shooting skills. His impact style of play undoubtedly fell into the top defense of the Pistons and couldn't cause any damage at all.

D'Antoni could only try using a substitute player. However, Lin Bai's three-pointer did not open up. Facing Hamilton, who has a similar style of play, he was directly blocked and couldn't even catch the ball. Even if he caught the basketball, he The shot shot will also be interfered by the opponent.

Hamilton's mobility is too strong, and he is also familiar with off-ball running and catch-and-shoot techniques. Lin Bai is defended very painfully.

Dior's offense is not firm, and his scoring ability is average.

Barbosa already knew how to break through to the inside, but with his lightning speed, facing the impregnable defense of the Pistons, he was helpless and couldn't play an offensive effect.

Relying on their strong defense, the Pistons began to counterattack, almost one hit at a time.

Even if you can't fight back, you can grind your position and increase your offensive efficiency.

Billups showed the true qualities of a key player. In the offense, he first faced Nash's defense, and then made a three-point shot with a cold arrow, and hit a three-pointer steadily.

Then, taking advantage of his physical fitness, he forcibly rushed to the free throw line, took a stagger from Nash, calmly drew the bow and set the arrow, shot a two-point jumper, and scored two more points.

On the outside, the Pistons almost beat the Suns, and on the inside, Rasheed did not sit still, and used his flip-back jumper to force two points.

He can also take advantage of his height to overpower Marion. Even if his offense is interrupted and blocked by the top defensive Marion, he can still pass the ball. His offensive body is too comprehensive, and he can even pass the ball. Three-pointers fired.

On offense, full firepower is not enough. On defense, Marion's offense can be frozen, and even Nash's defense can be assisted.

The Pistons showed the terrifying strength of the championship team on both offense and defense. The Suns had no power to parry.

At the end of the game, the Detroit Pistons played a strong offense and defense, mainly against the guest, and beat the Phoenix Suns with a 111-104 advantage of 7 points. They won 5 consecutive victories and firmly led the Suns. Swallowed a 2-game losing streak.
