From today on is the king

Chapter 369 367. Don't Know What to Do Now!

Amidst the cheers of the fans at the scene, Ben Wallace won the jump ball and the Pistons went first.

"Winning a jump ball is like Chinese New Year." Liu Mang said disdainfully.

Emmanuel laughed dryly on the sidelines. If the Pistons fans heard it, they would probably be pissed off.

This is not to blame for the Pistons fans. They have not won in the second round for too long. Since Jordan crossed the last hurdle of the Pistons in 1990-1991, the Pistons have never recovered. It's the semi-finals, and they have to be happy when they return to the home court.

The Pistons' starting lineup is Atkins, Joan Barry, Chris Williams, Clifford Robinson, Ben Wallace, unchanged from the previous two games.

The Hawks' starting lineup has also not changed.

After Atkins advances, Clifford Robinson pulls to the corner, Ben Wallace pulls out for an off-ball pick-and-roll for Jon Barry, and Chris Williams drops low for the ball.

This tactic is a bit weird. Coach Carlisle has always been good at using some weird tactics, such as Barea defending James, but Muhammad has to go out to defend Clifford Robinson's three-pointer, and Ratliff also has to go out to delay Joan Barry after the pick-and-roll. Chris Williams really has a perfect low-post single.

Atkins lobbed the ball to Chris Williams, and Raheem pressed up fiercely to defend. Chris Williams wanted the position too close to the basket, and there was no one else under the basket.

This is really unstoppable!After scoring, the Pistons retreated immediately, Raheem picked up the ball and sent it to Jason Terry, the Eagles attacked, and Jason Terry advanced.

Popovich is one of them, and Carlisle is definitely one of them. Dean Grove is completely emptied, Jon Barry retreats to the free throw line, ready to double-team Raheem or Jason Terry, Atkins follows Jason Terry, Chris Williams follows Raheem, Clifford Robinson and Ben Wallace stick to the basket.

This defense...Jason Terry feels familiar!The opponent's defense doesn't need pick-and-rolls and running positions at all, and no matter who the pick-and-roll is with, there is an extra Joan Barry who can make up the defense at the first time, and then immediately form a double-team.

The main reason is that there is no one in front of Dean Grove!
Jason Terry passed to Dean Grove immediately.

Dean Grove was a little confused by this big gap!After hesitating for a moment, I still voted.

"bang"

Strike it!

Sometimes the accuracy of shooting is very important to determination and focus. Dean Grove's hesitation made his already inaccurate three-pointers even more inaccurate.

Ben Wallace, who was sticking to the basket, overwhelmed everyone to grab a defensive rebound and continued to press the rhythm.

Still the same tactics, still the same Chris Williams singles.

Chris Williams has good low post ability, but he probably specially practiced this aspect of play in the past two days, and hit another hook with a turn around.

The Pistons played very slowly. Fourteen or fifteen seconds had passed by the time Chris Williams received the ball, but when the ball reached Chris Williams, he almost turned around and hooked after receiving the ball. This slow-fast rhythm change made it difficult for the Eagles' defense to adapt.

It was the Eagles offense again, and the Pistons' defense was still the same, only revealing Dean Grove's gap, and then 5 defenses and 4, forcing the Eagles to hand the ball to Dean Grove.

Jason Terry had no choice but to pass it to Dean Grove immediately.

The last time he missed a shot, Dean Grove was under a lot of pressure, but now the ball came again, he had to shoot, but he didn't dare to shoot, he became more and more indecisive, and finally almost made a three-point shot, and the ball fell directly into Clifford Robinson's hands.

At this time, the Pistons had a perfect chance to counterattack, but they didn't play, but slowly passed to Atkins, and Atkins pressed the speed again and crossed halftime with a nearly 8-second violation.

Still the same style of play, the same tactics, Chris Williams received the ball with 24 seconds left in the 10-second shot clock, this time Muhammad couldn't hold back, rushed back to the inside to help defend, Chris Williams immediately split to the right corner, Clifford's Robinson caught the ball and made a three-pointer...

Miss!Raheem received the defensive rebound, and the Pistons did not rush to grab the rebound, and immediately returned to defense.

Although they didn't make a shot, the small-scale cooperation of the Pistons was a success, but they didn't make a shot.

The Eagles continue to be pressured in positional battles, and with Ben Wallace on the court, the rhythm can't get up!
Jason Terry did not pass to Dean Grove when he advanced this time, but chose to break through!
Atkins couldn't stop Jason Terry's breakthrough, but when Jon Barry came up to double-team, the two could defend together, and the Pistons have always been confrontational and have many small moves, and they will lose the ball in the double-team!Jason Terry immediately passed to Raheem. Raheem received the ball and wanted to rush inside. Atkins rushed up immediately. Chris Williams tried his best to resist Raheem. Atkins wanted to steal from the bottom lane.

At this time Raheem withdrew, Atkins immediately followed Jason Terry who ran out of the three-point line, and Chris Williams stayed at the free throw line and did not go out.

Raheem doesn't know what to do in the middle distance!

Suddenly, Joan Barry came over immediately to double-team, Jason Terry was blocked from outside the three-point line, and it was useless to rush in because he was too short to make an empty cut. There were four insiders under the basket, and the space under the basket was blocked!
Liu Mang looked at the defense of the Pistons and Raheem's helpless mid-range shot, and immediately thought of the way the Mavericks dealt with the Heat in the 2011 Finals. They used the wonderful defense to strangle the two main scorers of the Eagles!

The current Dean Grove is like James who didn’t have the ball in Wade’s hand in the 2011 Finals. Standing outside the three-point line, he can’t make three-pointers.

Not only that, Raheem has become a Wade-like role in his youth, without a long-term shot, he is completely at a loss!

　There should be at least two more chapters, wait a minute.
