NBA Building Cardinals

286. Chapter 287. Frightening Young People (68)

With Bobcats players on the field non-stop fouls, and soon, the number of fouls in the fourth quarter has reached.

Ben Wallace will get to the free throw line and take the free throw.

Bang~
Watching the first serve.Just throw it away.

Daben also frowned and gritted his teeth a bit. After all, what he hated most on the court was being fouled.

After high-fiving each other with his teammates, Big Ben took a deep breath, accepted the referee's pass, and prepared to make the second free throw.

Bang~
The second free throw was still missed, and Okafor struggled to protect the backcourt rebound.

If the backcourt rebound is lost, then this foul is equivalent to meaningless.

Ben Wallace, who missed two free throws in a row, was also a little annoyed.

But watching the rebound was taken by the Bobcats, he could only quickly return to defense.

"Yes!!"

Seeing that Big Ben missed two free throws on the court, Bickerstaff also clenched his fists off the court, feeling excited.

Because the current score on the court has been maintained in single digits, if Daben's free throw level is not high in the future.

That's good news for the Bobcats, and it's even possible to make a comeback.

The Bobcats, who protected this backcourt rebound, began to organize a new round of offense.

Although in this round of offense, the Pistons did not score, which is equivalent to a direct conversion of the ball.

But the current problem facing the Bobcats is that even if the Pistons cannot score, it is very difficult for the Bobcats to score against the Pistons' defense.

Therefore, this is why Big Ben was clearly targeted on the field, but Larry Brown still did not choose to replace him.

Currently, both Larry Brown and Liu Rui are betting.

Larry Brown is betting that Ben Wallace's free throws can reach a normal level, even if he only hits one of two free throws each time, it's not too bad for the Pistons.

And Liu Rui is betting that Daben's free throws will not reach the 50.00% level.

Because once Big Ben can hit more than 50% of his free throws on the court, then for the Bobcats, this cost-cutting tactic obviously represents a failure.

On the offensive end, Liu Rui still put on a three-back lineup in the fourth quarter, because this is also the smoothest lineup that the Bobcats can currently have on the offensive end.

Facing Billups, Mo Williams dribbled the ball continuously under the crotch, without relying on anyone's pick-and-roll, and directly chose to pull Billups from outside the three-point line.

Bang~
Mo Williams' three-pointer missed the basket, and the rebound was protected by the Pistons.

Xiao Mo, who failed to hit the three-pointer, swung his arm in the air, looking very angry.

Because facing the Pistons' defense, coupled with the physical decline of the Bobcats.

It's hard for the Bobcats to come up with good shots from the perimeter.

Therefore, forcing the players to use their personal abilities to solve the current predicament on the field is also the purpose of Liu Rui's three guards.

After all, every extra ball-holding point means more personal ability on the offensive end on the court.

But obviously, so far, the Bobcats still haven't been able to usher in good news. On the defensive end, the Bobcats still insist on cutting costs.

But in the next few rounds, Ben Wallace also basically maintained the rhythm of making two free throws and one.

This makes the situation on the field more and more unfavorable to the Bobcats, as Kevin Martin misses again in the middle distance at a 45-degree angle on the right.

With only one and a half minutes left on the court, the Bobcats are still 8 points behind the Pistons.

Fouled Daben again, but Daben actually made two free throws this time.

This put the Bobcats directly into a desperate situation.

As the Bobcats missed again on the offensive end, it also declared the complete end of the game.

As the final whistle blew and the game ended, the Bobcats played in Game [-] of the Eastern Conference semifinals with:

78:88
Lost to the Detroit Pistons by 10 points.

The Pistons also ushered in a good start to their Eastern Conference semifinals.

With the complete end of the game, the Pistons fans at home also began to cheer.

Although before this game, most people believed that the Pistons would definitely beat the Bobcats, but seeing the process of this game really made the Pistons fans sweat.

Because the process of the game was not smooth, and was even cornered by the Bobcats at one point.

If in the fourth quarter, Ben Wallace's free throws are off the mark, and the Bobcats' shot happens to make it.

Thinking of this, Pistons fans no longer dare to think about it.

Not to mention the fans watching the game at home, even the head coach of the Pistons, Larry Brown, quietly let out a sigh of relief after the game ended.

Before the start of this round, Larry Brown basically ignored the Bobcats.

Although the Bobcats defeated the Celtics in an upset, but in the eyes of Larry Brown, the Bobcats have never been his opponent.

In the entire East, only the Heat can be called opponents.

But after the start of this game, it was first the continuous shooting of three-pointers from a super long distance, the impact of the three guards on the formation, and then the cost-cutting tactics used later.

This series of changes also made Larry Brown on the sidelines feel nervous.

This has obviously posed a great threat to Larry Brown, who is dedicated to defending his title this season.

After winning this game, I feel very incredible in retrospect.

The Pistons he led actually felt threatened when facing the Bobcats? !
For Larry Brown, Liu Rui didn't have much affection for him.

But after the game, the two simply shook hands and talked.

After all, in a competitive game, if you turn around and leave after the game, it's easy to be thought that you can't afford to lose.

"Really, I thought I already thought highly of you, but after this game, I realized that I still underestimate you. You will definitely become an excellent coach."

Facing such a young Liu Rui, Larry Brown also expressed his praise.

After all, now that he has a championship ring and is leading the team very well, in this league, he has the confidence to say such things to the younger generation.

"Hehe, thank you, then I will lend you a good word."

Instead of hitting the smiling face, Liu Rui briefly chatted with Larry Brown on the sidelines, and Liu Rui was ready to lead the team back to the locker room.

I lost the first game of this round of the series, but this round of the series is far from over.

So next, for Liu Rui, it is imperative to find a way to break the Pistons' defense as much as possible.

With the end of the game, fans who watched the game at home in Charlotte still felt a little bit lost.

Although before the game started, the team was mentally prepared for the loss.

But when the team really loses the game, the fans will inevitably feel a little sad.

Especially during the game, the game was not as one-sided as people imagined.

The Bobcats even caused problems for the Pistons...
