"It was so easy to win!"
"The main thing is that the data looks good!"
"Yes, the advantage of short rotation is that the data is more concentrated."
On March 3, the Pistons sat on the field and easily repelled the Bulls without any effort.
In this game, Larry Brown played three and a half quarters with a 7-man short rotation of double Wallace, Billups, Hamilton, Prince, Huo Song, and Mike James.
Originally, I wanted to use this rotation lineup to play the entire game, because the Bulls lost too fast and too badly, and had to withdraw the main force in the second half of the fourth quarter to save the Bulls some face.
The playoff lineup is not something that can be tried in one day. In the following regular season games, Larry Brown is still lining up to find a more suitable substitute for the playoffs.
On November 3, the Pistons played against the 14ers at home.
This time Iverson barely dragged his injury back, but the 75ers' performance was still poor, and the Pistons' defense was visible to the naked eye, getting better and better.
In the first quarter, it was still the starting lineup of Double Wallace, Billups, Hamilton, and Prince.
After playing for 6 minutes, Big Ben and Hamilton went off to rest first, and Huo Song and Collis Williams came up to replace them for a while.
This lineup is almost the top five of the current death. Except for Billups who is in possession of the ball, everyone else is over 2 meters tall.
Although Huo Song and Rasheed Wallace cannot replace the role of the big team's defensive core, the Pistons' single defense is relatively tough.
The inside line can also fight against many lineups without a height difference.
Actually, Huo Song wanted to tell Larry Brown that he was about to have a DPOY-level defense.
Maybe the game experience is not as rich as Daben, but the blessing of the defensive package will definitely have a considerable bonus to Huo Song's defense.
Once a big man like Huo Song has a pretty good defense ability, and Huo Song's own athletic ability is not bad, it will definitely be a nightmare for most players.
Back to the game again, Iverson, who played with an injury, really wanted to win the game, but the injury has not healed quickly, facing the double-teaming of Collis and Prince on the outside, the tried-and-tested breakthrough is not so efficient.
Injuries have really had a great impact on the stars. Even if Iverson breaks into the inside, it is useless to miss the shot.
Relying on Iverson to strike the iron, wasting a lot of possessions.
Huo Song led the team to launch a fierce attack in the second half of the first quarter.
The current 75 people are like a terminally ill old man. Huo Song holds the ball and plays inside singles, playing O'Neal-level dominance.
However, Prince and Collis held the ball from the outside and broke into the inside, and basically no one could guard against it.
Iverson didn't defend in the first place, and after Larry Brown left for the 75ers, the defensive habits of the players became worse and worse.
This may also be due to the team's unsatisfactory record.
After the first quarter, 18 to 33, the Pistons have led by 15 points.
At the beginning of the second quarter, with the return of Hamilton and Big Ben, the Pistons also strengthened the inside defense and outside offense.
Although holding the ball is not Hamilton's strong point, as a defender, Hamilton does not know how to hold the ball.
At least things like dribbling across the half court are still very simple.
And once Hamilton handed the ball to Collis from the top arc, the next step is to go to the basket and run through the two bottom corners.
At first glance, the space under the basket has become narrower, but in fact, Huo Song and the outside line have more space to shoot.
Because we must always pay attention to this point of Hamilton, sometimes Huo Song can find an open shot from the outside, or an opportunity to eat a cake from the inside.
As the playoffs approached, Huo Song's three-pointer was taken out again.
Regarding the three-pointer from the corner, Larry Brown took the initiative to ask Huo Song to mention it.
Playing in the NBA, weapons that are not commonly used will slowly rust.
Only by maintaining it at all times can it come in handy at critical moments.
When Huo Song just entered the league and shot three-pointers, he was a softie.
But after playing a huge threat in the paint, it's okay to shoot one or two open three-pointers a game.
Just like the Pistons bad boys before, no one would question Lambiel's three-point shooting.
Once Huo Song occasionally shot a cold arrow, he opened the score with a three-pointer.
Then the opponents of the Pistons will try their best to target this point, make defensive arrangements, and disperse defensive energy.
Larry Brown thought about playing superstar basketball in the Pistons. If he was given an O'Neal, he would definitely do it.
But when I think that the team facing the Western Conference in the finals is very likely to be the Lakers, they will face O'Neal at that time.
Larry Brown felt that Huo Song's corner three-pointer was really needed as an offensive supplement.
In the last two games, with the permission of Larry Brown, Huo Song slowly found his way.
However, I haven't found the feel yet.
After this season, Huo Song's evolutionary direction is to play inside, strengthen his muscles, and strengthen his confrontation.
It's normal to have a drop in shooting ability.
Huo Song's shooting percentage has not declined. On the one hand, after the arrival of Rasheed Wallace, Huo Song's playing time has been reduced.
In this way, Huo Song can have more energy on the offensive end.
And leading the team to play in the second team will make it easier to meet opponents.
In addition, Huo Song did not shoot mid-range shots frequently, but shot more at the basket, so his shooting percentage would naturally not decline.
In other words, Huo Song actually still has a lot of room for evolution.
O'Neal can only hit the basket, Huo Song can hit the bottom corner from the bottom corner, and then hit the basket from the bottom corner.
O'Neal sits at the basket and is difficult to guard.
Karl Malone can defend it, but after all, he is old, injured, and not tall enough.
Huo Song's face-up breakthrough has a high chance of passing Karl Malone, and then he can hit a dozen even against O'Neal with the small throw that has been practiced.
As for the corner three-pointer, even if Karl Malone is defending face to face, Huo Song can pull up and shoot directly.
But the premise is the hit rate.
After all, the three-pointer is farther and more difficult to score.
Huo Song can't practice a three-pointer with a relatively high degree of confidence, so it's better to hit Karl Malone from inside and shoot from close range.
Of course, in such a situation, one must be careful to guard against Karl Malone's small moves.
"20 to 26 in the second quarter, I can say that, the 75ers are basically hopeless."
"Yes, the Pistons' defense is suffocating!"
The Pistons play a seven-man rotation, and may face the problem of physical weakness in the second half, but they played compactly and well in the first half.
Even if the 75ers regained their touch in the second quarter, it was a bit like tearing the Pistons' defense.
But in the end it was still restricted by the piston, and the piston continued to widen the difference.
The situation in the second half was similar, and the Pistons players who returned from the intermission still had physical strength.
Relying on intentionally lowering the tempo, slowly grinding out positional battles, and slowly wearing down the patience and morale of the 75ers, the Pistons quickly used defense again and achieved effective results.
The 75ers scored less than 20 points in a single quarter again. The Pistons relied on Rasheed Wallace and Prince to attack the third quarter and scored 24 points in a single quarter.
Help the Pistons to widen the point difference to 20 points.
Just imagine, the 75ers only scored 20 points in the first three quarters at most. Now that the point difference has been widened to such a large extent, is it necessary to continue playing?
After defeating the 75ers, the Pistons once again entered training for the playoffs.
It wasn't until March 3 that he moved to New Jersey to find trouble with the Nets.
On March 3, the battle between No. 18 in the East and No. [-] in the East officially started.
In the jump ball stage, Rasheed Wallace did not jump half a beat slower and lost the jump ball to Jason Collins.
But this is not a problem. The Pistons returned to the defense relatively quickly. Kidd used the pick-and-roll to enter the inside line.
After receiving the ball, Kidders immediately shot a mid-range jumper and scored the ball directly.
In the offensive round of the Pistons, they advanced to halftime and played positional warfare as usual.
Billups passed the ball to Prince for a single on Richard Jefferson.
Then Prince quickly broke into the inside, but suddenly passed the ball to Hamilton, and Hamilton caught the ball and shot immediately.
Kiedels was not able to defend against Hamilton in time, and was hit by a mid-range shot by Hamilton as soon as he took off.
"2+1!"
The referee signaled a foul by the thug, Hamilton made another penalty and the Pistons overtook the score.
Next, the Nets continued to attack by Kidd breaking through the perimeter.
Immediately afterwards, the inside line picked and rolled with Kenyon Martin, looking for an opportunity to feed Martin.
But Kidd's intention to pass the ball to Martin was seen through by Rasheed Wallace. As soon as Kidd passed the ball, Rasheed Wallace quickly intercepted the ball and passed the ball to the outside. Billups.
Prince went down quickly with Billups, and the Pistons scored another 2 points by relying on Prince's dunk.
It was the Nets' turn to attack, and Kidd once again broke through and entered the inside
But such a simple tactic has not played a big role in the Pistons.
Big Ben's defense made Kidd a little bit deflated, and Kidd passed the ball to the outside.
There was only a bang, and Jefferson's mid-range shot seemed to be aimed at sending a rebound.
Rasheed Wallace hit two at the basket and relied on his height advantage to hold the defensive rebound.
The Pistons had another fast break opportunity, but didn't do so.
Play positional warfare and create offensive opportunities for the inside.
Prince held the ball in a high pick-and-roll and went to the basket. Daben took advantage of the inside and helped the Pistons continue to expand their 2-point advantage.
Just when the Nets were in a scoring shortage, Kidd reached the inside with the ball and made an emergency stop to make a mid-range shot, but the effect of the Nets' shooting with the ball was the same as that of catching and shooting.
This time the Pistons actively launched a fast break, and seeing that the advantage is not small, they made another wave.
Billups made a three-pointer and actually made it!
The point difference was widened all of a sudden, and Nets coach Lawrence Frank could only call a timeout to slow down.
However, after the timeout passed, Huo Song was replaced on the court ahead of time, and the outside line of the Pistons did not change much.
But as the inside height increased, Martin's inside offense was basically abolished.
The Pistons relied on a single eye, singles inside, and their scores rose steadily.
The Nets can only expect outside shooters to open up and open up the offensive space.
Otherwise, we can only sit and wait.
At the end of the first quarter, Kiedles suddenly hit a three-pointer from the outside, which saved the situation a little.
But after the first quarter, 23 to 16, the Pistons still led by 7 points.
"The Pistons' defense is getting more and more annoying!"
As one of the biggest opponents in the East, the Nets naturally have research on the Pistons.
The first half of the regular season was okay. It's not that the Nets haven't won the Pistons.
But with the arrival of Rasheed Wallace, the inside line of the Pistons is really like a fortress.
The Pistons are basically two All-Star players present on the court. Regardless of offense, defense alone is a big headache.
Now the Pistons are playing more and more smoothly on the inside, and their outside influence has declined. However, because the shooting space has been opened up, the defensive strength has declined slightly, and the offensive ability has also shown an upward trend.
And without the burden of being an All-Star, Hamilton and Billups will become more rational and more team-based in their offensive choices.
A team with strength and ideals is like this.
Seeing an opportunity to realize their dreams, the starting players will work hard and cooperate with everyone to achieve their goals as much as possible.
After the inter-section break, Daben played again, and Huo Song played with Daben for half a quarter.
With Collis and Mike James entering the rotation, the Pistons' outside offensive firepower has dropped slightly, mainly relying on or one person to attack and lead the team forward.
But everyone puts their energy into the defensive end. How the Nets score and how to score effectively has become a long-standing problem.
When Huo Song came off the court to rest, the score of the two sides in the second quarter was 13 to 9, and the Nets were widened by 4 points.
With Rasheed Wallace back on the court, the Pistons are maintaining a good offensive efficiency inside.
When Billups and Hamilton returned in the third quarter, the Pistons' outside offense also opened up.
In less than three quarters, the point difference was successfully opened to 20 points.
The Nets, like the teams the Pistons had encountered before, felt cold when being defended, and then watched the point difference stretch to the point of no return.
Of course, the reason for the Pistons' success is defense.
Defense really wins championships!
The Pistons lineup can make Kobe an undercover super defensive lineup in the finals.
In the usual regular season teams, there is no breakthrough strongman of Iverson's level on the outside, so it must be impossible to tear apart the defense and obtain more efficient and stable scoring.
And this season's Iverson just happened to have a new injury and an old one, and he couldn't perform very well.
This also means that the defensive system of the Pistons can kill most teams in the league, and then stabilize the abuse.
After defeating the Nets, the Pistons returned to Detroit overnight.
On March 3, although it was back-to-back, it was against the Nuggets who had just played against each other not long ago.
The Pistons are not afraid of a team like the Nuggets that wins from the outside.
The previous fights have proved that the Nuggets are nothing but a dish in front of the Pistons.
Because the big book has been playing relatively old recently, Larry Brown suddenly changed the rotation today in order to reduce the use of the big book and reduce consumption.
Huo Song will replace Da Ben in the starting game.
This also means that Huo Song will land in the Palace of Auburn Hills as the "big master" of the starting lineup.
Perhaps because of his excitement, Huo Song regained the opportunity to jump the ball for the team, but he didn't grasp it.
The chance of the first attack fell to Nuggets, but Huo Song knew that the victory would still be won by him.
