The Point Guard is Here

Four hundred and seven: Milicic came in handy

Before heading to Detroit, Fan Xi went to meet Jennifer for a while, and of course they shared everything without hiding anything.

Then, I went to visit Cindy Crawford. Although Crawford's belly has not yet protruded significantly, she already enjoys the feeling of being a mother very much.

Fan Xi chatted with her for a long time, and a long memory spread between the two. Although she and Fan Xi are not as sensational as Jennifer, nor as twists and turns as Kate Winslet, they are not even as high-profile as the young girls.

But all the time, Fan Xi can always get some quiet strength from her.

She is like a puddle of clear water, which can always wash away the tiredness on Fan Xi's body.

Fan Xi sometimes thinks that it is indeed the best arrangement for her first child to be born to Xin Di.

I hope he's a boy, so that he can take care of Mommy instead of Dad. Fan Xi said affectionately while holding Cindy's hand when parting.

Cindy Crawford's eyes misted.

The Palace of Auburn Hills is the most terrifying devil away game in the league today. The home win rate here ranks first in the league, and it is even more difficult to deal with than Salt Lake City back then.

After experiencing a two-game losing streak at the Madison Garden Arena, the Pistons returned to Detroit to try their best. According to local media reports in Michigan, it was said that Larry Brown made the team run wildly on the first day of his return to the home court. Speed ​​up.

Obviously, being killed by running and bombing by Fan Xie in two consecutive games made the top coach feel ashamed.

However, he really couldn't find a good way to contain the Knicks.

Ben Wallace has no offensive ability, and Rasheed Wallace has no real sense of suppression of Jackson and even Grant Hill, although he is a power forward.

The weak offensive strength inside makes them somewhat passive. Most importantly, Vanheede can also play post-ups deep into the paint on the offensive end, if... the Knicks' running and bombing fall into position.

Fanhee was a bug that caused Larry Brown a headache. Deep down in Larry Brown's heart, he even regarded Fanhee as a terrifying existence like Shaq O'Neal.

When he led the Sixers to the finals, he was helpless against O'Neal.

Now, he has no effective way to deal with Fan Xi.

Billups is already a strong representative of the guards, but when Van Heedy stuck the Flounder in the paint area, Billups had no chance to rebound. He was like being riding an elephant. The donkey on the crotch... Although it is very stubborn, it is useless.

And once the Pistons flank Vanhee, Vanhee will pass the ball out immediately, and although his teammates are a little older, they really work.

On the tactical end, the Pistons were passive in the fourth quarter.

This passive kills them.

twice.

Larry Brown was full of pathos. He mobilized and shouted before the game started, and even said that tonight is the moment of life and death.

The Pistons are filled with an atmosphere of underdogs winning.

When the game started at the Palace of Auburn Hills.

Knicks players have been booed and cursed from the very first second of their debut.

But Fan Xi talked and laughed happily, and the players standing with him were veterans who had experienced many battles. They won't be intimidated. If they are rookies, seeing this kind of scene is very likely to perform abnormally.

We, the workers, still have power.

Fan Xi even laughed and joked with Sprewell.

Tonight, the Knicks' starting lineup is: Fanhee, Sprewell, Grant Hill, Ratliff, Mutombo.

The Knicks used double centers, and both of them are great shot-blockers and veterans on the defensive end.

Originally, the Knicks coaching staff did not plan to start Uncle Mu, but Uncle Mu said that today might be his birthday.

This may be very spiritual.

In theory, Uncle Mu could point to any day on the calendar and call it his birthday, because even scientists have no way of identifying the exact time when a tree was planted.

beep!

The whistle sounded.

Relying on his height and wingspan, Uncle Mu beat Ben Wallace in the jump ball, and Fan Xie got the ball.

He still has the impact as usual, and his shock wave is few in the league today.

His strength and explosive power are not weaker than James at the peak. Although his speed is a little bit worse, his ball handling ability is not comparable to that of James. He can dribble and change directions like flying close to the ground.

Fan Xi rushed into the paint area very quickly.

The Pistons took a new approach to defense, with Larry Brown being an unkind guy who forced players to make quick rotations, increased physicality on Van Heed, and kept Van Heed out of a comfortable offense. Even if he died, Fan Xi's face would still be splashed with blood.

Fan Xi really felt a greater degree of confrontation. Although this confrontation would not change his actions, it would increase his physical exhaustion.

Van Heede finished a beautiful pull-up on Ben Wallace in the paint, and put the basketball into the basket with his left hand.

This is a beautiful goal.

He staggered a little when he landed, but Ben Wallace reached out and grabbed Fan Xi's waist.

This action shows sportsmanship.

The presenter on TV said there was going to be an ethics award for Ben Wallace.

Artest in front of the TV was so angry that he wanted to kill, he didn't believe that Ben Wallace was a moral role model. Artest was pushed more than ten meters away by Ben Wallace in the Palace of Auburn Hills battle.

He was just so nice to Fan Xi.

Artest muttered in front of the TV.

This is a truth.

Ben Wallace did, he was only so good to Fanhee.

The cruelty of the game has not changed in the slightest because of Ben Wallace's support. Wallace is still fierce on the defensive end. When covering for his teammates, he will also covertly show his elbow to warn the defenders not to rush in.

The rhythm of the first quarter was as usual.

The Pistons still hold the advantage, and relied on the home court advantage to expand the point difference to 6 points.

The same was true in the second quarter, where they built a 12-point halftime advantage.

And successfully suppressed the Knicks' scoring to 36 points.

This is equivalent to two-thirds of usual.

However, after entering the third quarter, the man who made the palace of Auburn Hills resentful came forward, and Reggie Miller finally found his touch after his energy was sluggish in the first half.

Hit three-pointers in a row, even if Prince stretched his hand to his face.

Reggie Miller made the Palace of Auburn Hills howl with his grim three-pointer.

After the third quarter, the Pistons' lead was reduced to 3 points.

This plunged the Palace of Auburn Hills into panic, and the panic on the bench was even more undisguised. Larry Brown panicked.

Because, next, the Knicks will inevitably enter the run-and-gun mode.

When the Knicks enter the running and bombing, what should the Pistons do? follow along?

Larry Brown thought so.

Pistons players do the same.

However, the results were dismal.

The Knicks let Miller hit a super-large three-pointer from the outside in the first round, tying the score.

When the Pistons' tempo unnaturally accelerated, their disadvantage became more obvious.

The Knicks extended their lead by 5 points in 3 minutes.

At this time, Larry Brown had to ask for a timeout, his eyes full of despair.

He is going to make the last wave of counterattack, if it doesn't work, then...

The tenacious Larry Brown thought of giving up.

But before giving up, he slapped the tactical board to force the players: Is there no one who can stand up and pat his chest at this time to ensure that the Knicks can hurt the Knicks in the penalty area while running fast? Don't we even have one such talent? Are they all gone?

he is very angry.

At this time, a palm stretched out. Then a poor English said timidly: I want to go on stage and have a try.

Larry Brown turned around, and he saw Milicic sitting at the end of the bench.

Milicic is a talented boy, his age is a little younger than LeBron James, he has a very good reputation in Europe, and everyone thinks that he will become the new roof of the world.

This is why Dumars of the Pistons gave up Carmelo Anthony, who led the team to win the NCAA championship and set a record in his freshman season.

However, after one season, Milicic has only a handful of opportunities. As long as he makes a slight mistake on the court, Larry Brown will abuse him head-on.

This caused the European genius to become depressed and confident. He no longer looked forward to playing, and Larry Brown no longer trusted him. They were so stalemate.

Milicic has also changed from a high-profile to an embarrassing parallel import.

Until the Knicks played a running and bombing offensive in the Eastern Conference Finals.

After the first game, Milicic wanted to talk.

He's from Europe, he's fast, he's got the footwork, he's got the floor space, he's the height of a full-size center, and he's got the flexibility to imagine David Robinson.

In fact, the famous head coach and fast-break enthusiast Don Nelson wrote in his scouting report: He is 2.16 meters tall and weighs about 111 kilograms. Playing the role of point guard on the court), the explosive power inside is very strong, and he has also developed a unique skill of three-pointers. At that time, his template was Wolf King Garnett or Nowitzki.

However, in the Pistons, he was asked to practice defense in the penalty area to adapt to the Pistons' style of play.

He was very uncomfortable, like a quality-educated genius being crammed.

Larry Brown's stubbornness killed him.

(In fact, even though Milicic spent his entire career in blue-collar jobs that had nothing to do with his scouting reports, he still spent ten years in the NBA and took more than $50 million.)

Larry Brown glanced at Milicic in surprise, he didn't expect this rookie to stand up at this time.

His natural stubbornness made him subconsciously refuse outrageously. At this moment, Rasheed Wallace said: Let this kid try it, that's what he did in Europe, and running and bombing came from Europe. style of play.

We couldn't be worse off than we are now.

Rasheed Wallace's words were decisive.

Larry Brown agreed to play him, with Rasheed Wallace watching over him.

beep!

The whistle sounded.

When Milicic walked on the court, there was even some uproar when Auburn went to the Palace Arena. Because in past games, Milicic has been affectionately called the essence of human celebration... He will only play when the victory is already guaranteed.

Now, he came up so early, does it mean that the Pistons are about to surrender?

Fan Xi squinted his eyes and watched Milicic enter the field.

Milicic is a young kid, and he's younger than James. He joined the league at the age of 18.

Fan Xi paid attention to him very early. He became famous in Europe at a very young age. He is the hope of the entire European basketball.

However, after entering the league, the development was not satisfactory.

Rasheed Wallace is a good man, and when Billups passed him the basketball, he feinted and passed it to Milicic.

Milicic received the basketball and made a quick layup.

But I don't know if it was nervous or something, but at 216, he failed to make a layup under the interference of Stephen Jackson.

Larry Brown scolded angrily, but before he finished scolding, Milicic picked up the rebound and completed the attack with a dunk.

The difference in height is too obvious.

Stephen Jackson and Ben Wallace are strictly about the same height, and Ben Wallace will not attack at all, as long as he can withstand him.

Milicic has the ability to attack. Moreover, now he has not been completely taught by Larry Brown.

(Academic head coaches in the United States have very rough management of foreign centers. In his early years, Yao Huang did not just stand alone in the penalty area. Later, Van Gundy made him gain weight and let him fight in the penalty area. He is a model of success. Undoubtedly a typical failure, he was also asked to increase confrontation, and was also asked to do a good job in blue-collar work, not allowing a little bit of mistakes and mistakes.)

After Milicic scored a goal, he immediately ran towards the half with his head depressed... His running speed was extremely fast, like a running elk.

If it is the past, his speed is completely useless.

The Pistons don't need a center that runs so fast. In Larry Brown's perception, the center should stay in the penalty area.

It should be steady and heavy.

Now, he squinted his eyes with a strange expression.

Fan Xi quickly arrived at the frontcourt and went deep into the penalty area.

At this time, Milicic has opened his arms to form a certain interference.

Fan Xi hesitated a little, and he passed to Jackson, hoping that Jackson would get back the field.

This is what Fan Xi has always done.

However, hesitation is an opportunity missed.

Moreover, Milicic slapped Jackson's layup out of bounds.

The Palace of Auburn Hills was seething.

Milicic's one offense and one defense ignited the long-awaited expectations of Pistons fans.

The No. 2 pick with high hopes before the draft finally showed its due demeanor before people were completely disappointed.

He came close to saving the Pistons.

Larry Brown was overjoyed.

He was shaking all over.

Smart and wise, he has figured it out.

However, he was surprised: the Knicks' run-and-gun tactics were disintegrated like this? This little guy Milicic actually has two brushes?

Larry Brown was filled with joy.

Ben Wallace next to him said to him: Boss, in fact, if you had taught him in accordance with his aptitude earlier, maybe we would have won three consecutive victories.

In the past, Jack always taught us that we should give full play to the strengths of our talents. Jermaine and I were both trained by him. Perhaps, you can let Milicic go to the New York Knicks to study with him for two years...

Ben Wallace is blunt.

But Larry Brown gave him a blank look. Now, he is not willing to let Milicic go to New York.

At least for this round of playoffs, Milicic has come in handy.
