I just want to lie down and win

Chapter 128 Heroes Are Useless! (4000, please subscribe)

On March 3, the Pistons sat at home to meet the Clippers' challenge.

And this is also the first time Huo Song has played with a big defense bag.

Although the wing singles training with Rasheed Wallace started two days ago, it made Daben a little uncomfortable and made Rasheed Wallace miserable.

However, Huo Song's defensive ability has improved. The other players of the team and the head coach Larry Brown are not very clear, and the opponents of the Pistons are not aware that Huo Song has greatly improved on the defensive end.

Huo Song is going to use the last few games of this season's regular season to gradually establish his reputation on the defensive end.

And Huo Song himself has to slowly find a sense of defense on the court.

After all, it was basically a single defense before, but now that there is a big defensive package, you can also try to assist defense.

And when playing with Daben, Huo Song should also pay attention not to collide with Daben, and make such low-level mistakes as a traffic accident when he just landed in the regular season.

Closer to home, the Pistons have no pressure to beat the Clippers.

Although Chris Kaman returned from injury and the Clippers' internal strength has increased, the Pistons are best at interior defense.

Coincidentally, Captain Brand is also short, and Big Ben likes to guard against Brand.

After more than 7 minutes in the first quarter, the Pistons have already led by 6 points.

At this time, the inside situation of the Clippers: the head player Brand made 5 of 2 shots, only scored 4 points, and did not even make a free throw.

Under the defense of Rasheed Wallace, Kaman could not play high and strong advantages, and the touch of the white inside players was also defeated by Rasheed Wallace's small moves.

He only hit 3 of 1 shots, and although there were 2 free throws, he only hit [-] goal.

Although the scoring efficiency does not look low, the lack of shot production and the inability to receive the ball by Rasheed Wallace's defense is a good example of how successful Rasheed Wallace's defense is.

Huo Song came on to replace Big Ben, and Rasheed Wallace switched to the fourth position.

Everything is the same as before, the difference is that the inside line of the Clippers is more difficult to play.

As soon as Huo Song came up, he performed well on the offensive end. He directly hit Kaman in the low post, reached the basket with his footsteps, and scored a dunk.

When it was the Clippers' turn to attack, Corey Maggette used the pick-and-roll to get inside, and Huo Song and Rasheed Wallace came out together.

Although there were flaws in the basket, Huo Song's help defense was a bit redundant.

However, Maggette is too short, less than 2 meters tall, and he is at a disadvantage in today's NBA, where the interior is still relatively fierce.

Rasheed Wallace blocked in front of him, Maggette hesitated, then turned around, without the idea of ​​passing the ball to the basket, mainly because he did not have the vision of passing the ball.

The ball was passed to the outside Doug Overton, who continued to hold the ball to the basket to kill.

Then Huo Song just retreated to the inside line and came out to help defend again.

Doug Overton attempted a layup with a European step. He didn't want Huo Song to cover the layup ball with one hand. He blocked the ball, grabbed it, and launched a fast break.

Encountered this kind of opportunity to switch, Huo Song did not hesitate at all.

If you hesitate, you will lose. Huo Song dribbled the ball quickly, started half-step inside the three-point line, and directly glided and dunked in three steps, surprising everyone with his skills.

"What a great dunk, great performance.

Although I didn't see clearly how Huo Song blocked the ball, I did see how Huo Song dunked the ball clearly.

This body, this talent, the sky is not the limit of Huo Song at all. "

"That's right, although the sky is already overcrowded, Huo Song is qualified to squeeze into it.

Next season, Huo Song can try to participate in the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest.

I believe that with Huo Song's talent, the fans will definitely support him! "

The on-site commentator once again praised Huo Song's physical talent and athletic ability. The Pistons fans did not notice that Huo Song's defensive end had evolved, but were immersed in the surprise of Huo Song's explosive dunk.

Huo Song noticed the reaction from the audience. Although most of the fans were praising him, exclaiming and applauding him, Huo Song was not very happy.

It's like when I was in school, I got [-] points in the school test and went home, but each of my parents found out that he got [-] points in the test.

Jinyi walks at night, no one pays attention, which is very depressing.

For the rest of the first quarter, Huo Song continued to strictly guard the basket.

Because he knew that Rasheed Wallace would be the first to save when the Clippers' outside players entered the interior, Huo Song was not so active in assisting defense.

Huo Song chose to wipe Rasheed Wallace's ass more.

It turned out that Rasheed Wallace's defense was too good.

Perhaps it is also because the Clippers' outside players are too short.

The Clippers' outside players have average shooting ability and can only kill inside with the ball. Once Rasheed Wallace came out of defense, he was blocked by a wall.

The Clippers' outside players couldn't get in, so they could only run to the outside again, either throwing the pot or taking the pot to shoot.

Huo Song grabbed three defensive rebounds in the first quarter, but he only got one of those blocks and steals at the beginning.

Entering the second quarter, Huo Song still wants to show his defensive ability.

It's a pity that the situation is similar to the first quarter, and the hero is useless.

The Clippers are also really stupid outside. They can't shoot, they can't break through, they don't know how to hoist the ball inside, and try to play a dozen.

Kaman wasn't there at the beginning of the second quarter. It was indeed a big risk for Brad, a short power forward, to face the Pistons in the paint.

Therefore, the Clippers did not play like this.

Huo Song could only put his sword back into its sheath, and save the defense at the defensive level for the next game.

78 to 93, the Pistons easily won the game.

In fact, the Pistons built a huge advantage in the first half, with 23 points.

Larry Brown saw that the game was basically done, so he resorted to a rotation lineup.

Of course, it's not that none of the main players are on.

In the third quarter, the Pistons relied on Hamilton and Billups to lead the team to play for 5 minutes, and continued to maintain the point difference at about 25 points.

Seeing that the situation is okay, all the main players were removed in advance before the end of the third quarter, and the main players stayed on the field to rest.

After playing the Clippers, although the Pistons can rest for two days, the next game will still be played at home, and the Pistons players will be a little more relaxed.

But the daily training tasks are not light at all.

Huo Song and other main players, in addition to special training, also play a training game every day.

Of course, there is not much playing time in training games, and each time I play 15 to 20 minutes, the main purpose is to maintain my state and ensure tactical execution.

The intensity of confrontation in team training is not high, and basically there will be no injuries.

However, for Huo Song, it was more than an hour a day missing the opportunity to practice singles with Rasheed Wallace on the flank.

With Huo Song and Rasheed Wallace's wing singles training, Larry Brown noticed that Huo Song's defensive quality had improved.

Perhaps it wasn't Larry Brown who discovered it, but an assistant coach in Larry Brown's coaching staff, but it also gave Huo Song a late happiness.

Larry Brown could lick people, and Huo Song was very comfortable being praised by Larry Brown.

Larry Brown also understood the reason why Huo Song left the big book and went to Rasheed Wallace.

Huo Song not only wants to defend O'Neal, but also wants to beat O'Neal on the offensive end.

Can Huo Song really do it?Larry Brown didn't really believe it, but Larry Brown also expected that Huo Song could occasionally take advantage of one or two rounds in the offense and defense against O'Neal.

And this is a good thing for the Pistons.

The Lakers F4 combination, there are too many people who can play and attack.

It may not be the best choice for the Pistons to double-team O'Neal with two insiders.

If there is a double-team, there will be a leak. If a Kobe is leaked and the Pistons are killed by Kobe, how wronged should it be?

In order to limit O'Neal's preparations for a season, he was beaten to death by Kobe!
This is definitely not possible. The Pistons beat the Lakers. A better tactic is man-to-man.

If most of the time during the game is man-to-man, there is still a chance that the other points will be strangled.

Occasionally one or two people stand up, it has little impact on the Pistons, as long as it is not an OK combination.

Consuming O'Neal through occasional double-teaming and switching defenses, even if Huo Song and the two Wallaces were blown up when facing O'Neal, it was better than O'Neal leading the other three in F4 and blowing up the Pistons.

It takes physical strength to play inside. Even if O'Neal can play 6 games with one play, he will definitely not be tough in the 7th game.

This is also the reason why Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Olajuwon always have excellent opponents, but they can't always lead the team to win consecutive championships.

Even No.1 in active duty has ways to be restricted.

Even if the inside players are physical monsters, they will be limited due to physical fitness.

Closer to home, the time will soon come to April 4.

The Heat arrive at the Palace of Auburn Hills to challenge the Pistons.

It's really interesting to say that Huo Song's two good brothers, Wade and James, both have the opportunity to lead the team to the playoffs this season.

Like the Cavaliers, the Heat played poorly in the first half, and it seemed that they were going for the lottery.

But in the second half, as the rookies grew up and continued to exert their strength, they played better and better.

The team's record also shows the possibility of reaching the playoffs.

Recently, the Heat have won a lot of balls, except that the Pacers have never played, and they are as strong as the Mavericks and were also beaten by the Heat.

If the Heat want to make the playoffs and achieve results, then the Pistons must face and solve their opponents.

And if the Heat want to make the playoffs, winning today's game is also crucial.

At the beginning of the game, Rasheed Wallace helped the Pistons jump the ball.

As soon as he came up, Hamilton ran without the ball, caught the ball and made a mid-range shot.

Wade wanted to help the Heat return the ball, so he took the ball to kill the inside line, but he was blocked by Da Ben as soon as he entered.

Wade suddenly stopped on his crotch, Xiao Da Da wanted to shake Da Ben, and then choose the opportunity to make a move.

But maybe he forgot how he played with the Pistons before.

Prince chased from behind, and Wade just got a crotch, and the ball was taken away.

Playing a weak team is completely different from playing a strong team. The Heat have been able to win in the recent period because they played more against weak teams.

The strong teams have a tight defense and are connected as one. There is no time for you to go inside and show another wave of operations.

Pass the ball without a mobile phone opportunity, and continue to go to the basket with confidence. This is a reasonable way to play against a strong team.

Wade was also just playing, and he didn't get used to it all at once.

When he found out that the ball was lost, he quickly returned to defense, but just after running to the midfield, he saw Billups receive a pass from Prince, raise a knife and land a chasing three-pointer.

Eddie Jones ran back to the backcourt, but as soon as he ran into the basket, he looked back and was shot through by Billups.

0 to 5, the Pistons led directly by 5 points at the start.

However, the game usually called a timeout before it came up. Van Gundy continued to let the players on the field play by themselves, and he really couldn't bear to use the timeout again.

However, the Heat are not a strong team after all.

Even as a starter, he didn't adapt to how to play with the Pistons for a while.

Caron Butler rushed to the basket and tried to hit with his body, but was blocked by Big Ben and destroyed the ball.

Caron Butler asked the referee for a foul and signaled Big Ben to beat him, but the referee ignored him.

The bottom line referee saw very clearly that Big Ben didn't hit his hand at all, it was because he didn't hold the ball firmly and the ball was knocked off.

The Pistons hit another counterattack, relying on five-on-four, Rasheed Wallace scored 2 points for an empty catch at the basket.

Without Huo Song playing at all, the Pistons in the first quarter relied on Billups' excellent touch and Rasheed Wallace's advantage in interior offense to beat the Heat to nothing.

Of course, Huo Song definitely got playing time in the first quarter.

"Dwyane, why don't you attack? Isn't it because you are afraid when you see me?"

When Huo Song came on the court, he went to stimulate Wade a bit.

Prior to this, Van Gundy had already used up two timeouts. One was to emphasize defense, especially when he was converted by the Pistons after a mistake.

The other is that Wade, as the team's point guard, made three turnovers before the end of the first quarter. This is too inappropriate.

Although Wade was not removed by Van Gundy, as a starting player, he was heavily criticized by the head coach. Wade hesitated after playing.

More often, it seems that they are worried about problems, so they give the ball to teammates in advance.

A Wade who dare not attack, is he still Wade?
Such a dribbling guard is useless.

Huo Song stimulated Wade, not to help Wade break out of the predicament.

I just want to use this opportunity to verify whether his footsteps and supplementary defense can prevent Wade from rushing to the basket.

If it can, it is not impossible for the Pistons to win three consecutive championships.

Even if the NO Handcheck rule is introduced, it can limit Wade's offense.

And an O'Neal in his late peak is just an All-Star center with a slightly stronger offensive end.

"Hawthorn, I'm naturally not afraid of you, but if we want to win, I won't be fooled. The team is the way to win!" Wade said soberly.

Wade's performance in the first quarter was not good enough. He made 2 of 1 shots and his shooting percentage looked okay, but he made 3 turnovers and was directly scored 7 points by the Pistons.

Relying on Brian Grant's 4 of 3 shots, the Heat temporarily maintained the situation and did not widen the point difference too much.

Therefore, when Wade knew that he didn't have a basket and it was difficult to break through the Pistons, he naturally wouldn't be stunned. He kept going to the basket to die and became the sixth man of the Pistons.

In this regard, Huo Song can only express regret.

Then he kept asking for the ball angrily, tyrannizing Brian Grant in the low post, and quickly expanded the point difference to 10 points away.

After the first quarter, with the help of Huo Song, the Pistons have established an 11-point lead.

In the second quarter, Huo Song wanted to continue to beat the dog in the water, while the Heat hadn't adapted to how to play with them, and continued to expand their advantage.

Unexpectedly, Prince suddenly erupted at this time.

Well, the Heat's insiders are all paying attention to Huo Song, so they have the energy to continue to pay attention to Prince.

Relying on breakthroughs and emergency stops in the middle distance, Prince made 4 of 4 shots and scored 8 points in a row, directly forcing Van Gundy's timeout.

But after the timeout, although the defense was better, the Heat still couldn't guard Prince, let alone Huo Song who regained control of the ball.

"Dwyane, aren't you ready to make a move?"

"I want to win!"
