NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 284 285. Head-to-head Confrontation (48)

This sudden scene on the field also made the commentary of this game amazed again and again.

The fans who were watching the game at home were talking about it, and everyone seemed to have discovered something interesting.

The Bobcats' shots after the opening were all shot from a position far outside the three-point line.

At this point, other teams usually choose where to shoot when the time is approaching.

When the Bobcats came up in this game, they did use these positions as a regular means of attack.

This is obviously no longer a surprise, and it can be regarded as madness.

The most frightening thing is that the Bobcats players still hit two three-point shots at this point. This is what shocked everyone.

"Nice job, guys."

Liu Rui made high-fives with the off-field players one by one, although Liu Rui knew that after this timeout, Larry Brown would definitely make defensive adjustments to this offensive method.

And Liu Rui didn't intend to use this method to win the game at all, because it was very unrealistic.

It was just an experiment at the beginning, and Liu Rui found that this method combined with a three-back lineup can indeed make the Bobcats more offensive choices.

Let Liu Rui at least become more aware in his heart.

After returning from the timeout, Larry Brown stood on the sidelines, obviously not looking very good.

With the return, the Pistons still play this way on the offensive end and have not made any changes.

After all, this system of the Pistons has been integrated for several seasons, and there is indeed no room for change.

But on the defensive end, after returning from this timeout, the Pistons obviously defended more outside. Everyone basically became a close defense against the Bobcats.

Resolutely no longer give the Bobcats players the chance to easily shoot three-pointers from the outside. Faced with this situation, Liu Rui obviously had expected it long ago.

The Bobcats still choose to play pick-and-roll on the offensive end. Faced with this kind of defense, the Pistons are very determined to switch defenses, and they are determined not to give the Bobcats an open shot.

The reason why Liu Rui put up a three-back lineup at the beginning is because he expected this situation.

With the Bobcats throwing more and more balls from the outside, the Pistons will definitely choose to close defense.

The Bobcats will not easily give the Bobcats space to shoot outside the three-point line, so when the three guards are on the court at the same time, facing this kind of close defensive pick-and-roll, only when there are enough ball-holding points on the field can they be able to guarantee non-stop balls on the offensive end and play more smoothly.

And once Liu Rui chooses to replace Ariza instead of the three guards, then facing this kind of defense, the Bobcats will no longer be able to play their own advantage, and at the same time, it will definitely make the offense on the field even less smooth.

But when the three guards are on the court at the same time, coupled with the very mobile Wallace, it is very difficult for the Bobcats to get a perfect shot space in the face of the Pistons' defense, but at the very least, the probability has been greatly improved.

In the first quarter of the contest between the two sides, the Bobcats played away with:
21:22
Only one point behind the Pistons.

When the first quarter of the game ended, it also made all the people who supported the Bobcats start to boil.

After all, this result was something no one expected.

Facing the defending champion Pistons, under the premise of such a big gap between the two sides, the Bobcats were able to tie the Pistons after the first quarter.

This has obviously exceeded everyone's expectations.

Facing this game, Liu Rui played all his cards and broke the boat.

Because of Liu Rui, who has widened the lineup rotation, in the first quarter, for an unprecedented time, the main lineup played a very high number of minutes.

Because as long as the five Pistons stay on the field, Liu Rui doesn't dare to split the lineup on the field.

Because apart from this lineup, Liu Rui has analyzed many times before this game, and any lineup will definitely not have any advantage.

So in the first quarter, the main players of the Bobcats kept fighting on the court, which is very rare throughout the season.

After returning from the second quarter, the Pistons also interspersed the starting lineup among the substitutes.

After all, if the Pistons alone are used as substitutes, the Pistons will definitely be a beaten team.

Facing Ben's rest, Jefferson, who came up in the second quarter, began to exert his strength, although McDyess was also a tough guy senior.

But compared with today's Daben, it is obviously indescribable.

Facing McDyess, Jefferson's dazzling footsteps and the final soft finishing touch on his hands finally came in handy.

Scoring two consecutive rounds in the interior also guaranteed the offensive firepower of the Bobcats' bench lineup.

When Larry Brown saw this scene on the field, he also let Da Ben, who had rested for more than two minutes in the first quarter, return to the field early.

After all, in the regular season, each player of the starting five Tigers played more than 36 minutes.

Among them, Hamilton averaged 38 minutes per game in the regular season.

After the playoffs, this playing time has skyrocketed.

Because once the starting lineup rests, the Pistons are simply a team with a big belly.

You can only play on the court with a strong force.

After Ben Wallace returned to the field, Jefferson did not continue to ask for the ball, and challenged Big Ben in the low post.
Instead, he chose to hold the ball in a high position, also because Damon Stoudemire was transferred from the starting lineup, so the entire bench lineup is currently led by Jefferson.

This lineup has been used in the middle of the regular season, but at this time, Jefferson is facing Big Ben instead, which disrupts the original system of this lineup.

However, before the game, Liu Rui also made some arrangements for this point, try to let Jefferson hold the ball in a high position, and House and Karim are like Hamilton, doing pick-and-roll on the court.

Try to look for opportunities, there is really no way, just use the veteran Smith as the end point on the court.

After all, the entire regular season has been raised, and the playoffs are the stage for veteran Smith. What's more, the reason why Liu Rui made such an arrangement is because the Pistons are really not strong on the bench.

Except for an insider McDyess, the others are not enough to watch.

At least in the eyes of veteran Smith, it is not a class at all.

And after Jefferson pulled up to the high position, he also tried his best to shoot from a long distance, so as to avoid muscle collision with Daben as much as possible.

Otherwise, it is really an egg hitting a rock.

Subsequently, after the two sides came up in the second quarter, they had a brief confrontation.

During this period of time, the Bobcats did not fall into a clear disadvantage, and although they did not have an advantage, the score on the court has been in a state of anxiety.

Until Larry Brown replaced all the main players of the Pistons back to the field, even Liu Rui made timely adjustments.

But the Pistons, who are familiar with the offensive methods of the Bobcats, suddenly made it more difficult for the Bobcats to attack...
