I just want to lie down and win

Chapter 130 64 wins, the playoffs are about to start! (4000, please subscribe)

The Pacers couldn't really feel how strong Huo Song's defense was at first.

But in just 5 minutes, he went inside four times, was interfered by Huo Song twice, missed a shot, was blocked by Huo Song again, and only once went inside with difficulty, which was enough for Huo Song's defense ability.

Although the defense is accidental, but the repeated successful defense means that Huo Song's ability to assist in defense has indeed improved.

With a strong defensive team like the Pistons and a DPOY-level player like Daben, it's not surprising that Huo Song's defense of this level is approaching the end of the regular season.

With Huo Song's defensive deterrence on the court, the Pacers' morale plummeted, and they began to gradually reduce their inside offense. Even Jr. O'Neal began to use shooting to solve the game.

The jump shooting team usually cannot beat the defensive team.

After playing 4 minutes in the second quarter, Big Ben returned to the court early.

Huo Song gave up the position of assisting defense. In this way, although the defensive deterrence decreased, Huo Song could also be lazy on the court and rest for a while.

In the shadow of a famous tree, Ben's defense is still so strong. After Ben came on the field, although the height of the Pistons inside dropped, the Pacers actually had fewer people to kill inside and score inside.

Huo Song hid under the basket to take a few breaths with peace of mind, and then used the little stamina he had just accumulated on the offensive end.

That is to say, Carlisle didn't dare to let O'Neal guard him, otherwise Huo Song's shooting percentage could not have been kept above 70%.

More than 9 minutes into the second quarter, Huo Song had already played more than 15 minutes, so he was replaced off the court to rest.

而在这15分钟的时间里，霍嵩11投8中，罚球4投3中，已然拿下19分6篮板2助攻2盖帽的数据。

If he played the whole game, it would not be difficult for Huo Song to score 30+10.

Under Huo Song's outstanding performance, after the first half, the Pistons led the Pacers by 17 points, basically winning the game.

There is one thing to say, today's Pacers are indeed not in a good state.

A little tempered by the Pistons defense, it was also because the team was not in good shape. Halfway through the third quarter, Carlisle saw that the situation was not going well, and Ming Jin withdrew.

After a timeout, the Pacers removed all the main players and let pure substitutes play for the next game.

Larry Brown hesitated for a while, and the point difference widened to 30 points before removing the starters, and Huo Song didn't get a chance to play again.

It can only be said that sometimes there is a fixed rest time, and after a short rest, you have to lie down and win.

It was also because of the clocking in of the two quarters that Huo Song failed to score more than 20 points, and even his relatively stable double-double was gone.

62 to 82, after the whole game, the Pistons won a brilliant victory.

Even if the Pacers don't surrender early, the Pistons can basically win by a dozen or twenty points.

Although it is not as exaggerated as the number one in the East beat the second in the East and directly beat the number two in the East to score 30 points, the foundation laid in the current period is enough to win in the later period.

It can only be said that it is not unreasonable for defense to win the championship.

In the last few games of the regular season, the level of bayonet fighting is close to the playoffs.

It's not that the Pacers don't want to fight the Pistons, but there is nothing they can do.

After repelling a strong enemy like the Pacers, the Pistons have become more confident about the upcoming playoffs.

This season, the Pacers have a high winning percentage against strong teams in the East and West, and they can even win against the Lakers.

The Pistons can gain a huge advantage in the defensive battle that the Pacers are best at, and even win it steadily in less than three quarters. This ability to abuse a strong team like the Pacers as a dish is even too surprising.

The Pistons players themselves were quite surprised when they saw this scene.

"I know everybody was happy and excited after beating the Pacers, but I would say it's the way it should be.

After a season of hard training and running-in, we have reached this level.

We are more united and hardworking than all teams in the league. This is our achievement.

But such results do not represent everything, and our real results have not yet been harvested.

If you want to vent your joy and excitement, then save it until after the finals!

Of course, if you don't discipline yourself for an hour or two now, it's not unacceptable to me. "

After playing the Pacers, Larry Brown was also very happy, but he still had to say what he had to say, and he still had to warn the players.

It's not the time for the Pistons to go up and down. The finals are not over yet. Who knows what will happen in the future.

The Pistons are basically all black players. After listening to Larry Brown, it can be indulged for hours only.

Although the indulgence is over, the boring training is still repeated, but it is time to act recklessly, and I still have to come.

Ever since, the Pistons players fled Detroit overnight and went to the surrounding cities in style.

In the afternoon of the second day, although all the players were present and were still training, it was obvious that many players were absent-minded and looked listless.

Even Huo Song is no different.

Huo Song also went to Los Angeles, if the mountain is not over, I will go there!Some things are not negotiable.

The regular season is almost over, and the team's record is no longer particularly important.

A little relaxation is beneficial to physical and mental health, and it is a combination of work and rest.

I have to say, it's quite refreshing to release the pressure.

It was also because of this that a new regular season started not long after Huo Song and other Piston players returned to Detroit.

On April 4, the Pistons played against the Magic at home.

The Magic are attacking the No. [-] pick, and McGrady was also taken away by the Magic because of his lack of cooperation.

It's unbelievable to say, but during the recent period, it is indeed Tyronn Lue who is leading the Magic to play.

After all, the point guard of the championship team has assisted O'Neal, Kobe and Jordan. Now with his deep qualifications, it is not impossible to play with a group of rotten sweet potatoes and rotten birds in the absence of McGrady and Hill.

And the team can't build a team with a big center as the core, then it can only rely on the point guard to sort out the offense and connect the team.

In this way, Tyronn Lue, who is good at assisting superstars, accidentally became the only star of the Magic at the moment.

It can only be said that good luck tricks people.Oh no, times make heroes.

Tyronn Lue played pretty well this time.

全场下来，16投9中，三分4投2中，罚球2投1中，拿下了21分5助攻2篮板。

He is the highest scoring player on the Magic team.

However, the Magic were abused by the Pistons for 18 points, and it was useless for Tyronn Lue to score 20 points alone.

At most, it's just to participate in the post-match interview and have more topics to talk about.

After defeating the Magic, the Pistons ushered in a three-day holiday.

The next game is against the Raptors on April 4. The Raptors are basically cold this season, and they have not made the playoffs for two consecutive seasons. Carter is also ready to find a way.

There are only a few years in the peak period of a player. It is impossible to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman during the peak period, help the team train rookies, and then wait for his peak to no longer be traded by the team.

In the game between the Raptors and the Pistons, Carter is a little bit healthier.

I didn't see Carter dunk a basket in the whole game, and he even hit the inside with the ball, and he only hit the basket three times.

Because Huo Song came off the bench, he didn't encounter Carter holding the ball to kill the inside line. Watching Carter make three-pointers and mid-range shots, I always feel a little regretful.

What if Carter put a death grip on him, and then he made a big hot pot instead, covering Carter from the sky, how good would it be?
With 26 points, 15 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks, Huo Song played all four quarters today and finally achieved a good number.

霍嵩的26分是全场最高分，猛龙虽然有不少人得分上双，但最高是卡特的20投6中，三分6投1中，罚球6投4中的17分。

Carter now has a three-pointer, but it is not accurate enough. It is obvious that he is good at shooting and loves to shoot.

Facing the Pistons, he didn't dare to play inside, and he couldn't make outside shots, but he still shot wildly. As a result, he became a war criminal for the Raptors' loss.

Before the game started, although everyone knew that the Raptors were not the opponents of the Pistons.

However, who would have thought that in the first half, the Raptors played well against the Pistons. Although the point difference was opened by 10 points, it did not reach the level of 15 points.

Even after the third quarter, the Pistons almost opened the point difference to 20 points, which is not safe enough. The main force of the Pistons played more than half of the quarter in the fourth quarter.

However, the Raptors are indeed not strong enough. They have players who can play, but they lack a master who can turn the tide.

Carter no longer cares about it, and his style of play is changing. In the end, he can't play well, but it's normal.

After all, even if Carter is still the same Carter two or three years ago, it is not an easy task to efficiently score 20+ and 30+ in front of the current Pistons.

After repelling the Raptors, the Pistons will finally play away games, and they will play back-to-back away games.

Fortunately, this situation has been experienced a lot, and the Pistons players have already adapted.

And this time the opponent is not strong, but the distance is a bit far away.

The night after the Raptors game, the Pistons got on the plane.

The next stop was Orlando, where the Pistons slept in the sky that night.

Most of the players didn't sleep very well. After getting off the plane and rushing to the hotel, everyone had a good night's sleep before they began to adjust their state.

Also because of lack of time, this time the away games were back-to-back, and the Pistons players did not train in advance.

That is to say, playing the Magic, the Pistons can do this. If it is another team, it may capsize in the gutter.

The Pistons want to keep the winning streak, and the Magic want to lose games.

The two teams hit it off, so the next game played outrageously.

Both teams were sleepwalking in the first quarter, and their relationship was like chickens pecking at each other. After the whole quarter, the two sides played a 22-23 game. The Magic took advantage of the home court and led the Pistons by 1 point.

The Pistons are relatively the strongest team in the East, and the players' self-regulation ability is still very strong, let alone the experience of playing back-to-back.

In the second quarter, the Magic breathed a sigh of relief.

The Pistons scored 35 points in a single quarter, and the Magic players didn't need to act, and the game could easily lose to the Pistons.

After the first half, the main players of the Pistons don't have to act anymore. They clock in in two quarters and take an early rest.

Relying on his explosive performance in the second quarter, Huo Song had already scored 17 points in the first half. Although he was still a little bit interesting, he also came off the field early.

Huo Song knew very well that after this match, there will be back-to-back matches next.

The opponents are the Wizards and the Raptors, neither of which is a strong team, but the problem lies in the schedule, physical strength, and the playoffs after the game.

After tonight's game, Huo Song will follow the team back to Detroit, and then fly to Toronto to play back-to-back away games. Such a schedule is indeed torture.

At this time, Larry Brown has not decided whether to rest the last regular season game against the Raptors. Like today, the workload of getting off work after the first half is quite good.

Huo Song originally wanted to lie down and win. He was still leveling up in the first half of the regular season, so there was nothing wrong with working hard to improve.

In the second half of the regular season, Rasheed Wallace came, the Pistons won the championship with a complete lineup of five tigers, and Huo Song himself won the All-Star MVP, and it was time to retire after success and relegated to the second line.

If you don't lie down now, it's amazing.

Being able to lie down comfortably, Huo Song would naturally not refuse.

91 to 87, relying on the efforts of the substitute players, the Pistons defeated the Magic by 4 points and continued to maintain their winning streak.

If this continues, the Pistons are likely to end all regular season schedules with a record of 64 wins and 18 losses.

Judging from previous years, the strength of the 60-win team is indeed not trivial. They are among the best teams in the playoffs, and they are very likely to win the championship.

Whether it's for a good record or for the possibility of winning the championship.

The Pistons want to continue their winning streak and achieve such an excellent record.

So, after defeating the Magic, the Pistons flew back to Detroit overnight.

It is definitely more comfortable to go home and rest.

It is also wise to go back to Detroit and wait for the Wizards to challenge, recharge your batteries for a day, ensure a winning streak and record in the regular season.

The Wizards don't have much more wins than the Magic this season.

It is also a bad team, and the Pistons are lucky to meet them at the last moment.

Playing at home, the Pistons players are inherently more motivated.

After a day of rest, the state of the Pistons players has almost adjusted back.

Playing in the first quarter, there are indeed some sequelae, and there are some mistakes on the defensive end.

But the Wizards didn't defend much. The Pistons scored 27 points casually, leading by nearly 10 points in a single quarter.

In the second quarter, under the leadership of Huo Song, the Pistons hit a 16-4 climax, and the Wizards were directly taken away by a wave.

Considering that there will be back-to-back tomorrow, and there are four or five days before the playoffs, Larry Brown is going to rest the main players now instead of giving up the next back-to-back away game.

Of course, even if the main players clock in in two quarters, the Pistons still have many players who can play.

It's just that luck was not very good. As an important rotation for the Pistons, Collis Williams just got injured when he brought a substitute in the third quarter.

The playoffs are about to start, and if it doesn't hurt early, it won't hurt late. Just getting hurt at this juncture really makes the Pistons a little speechless.

In fact, everyone is also a little lucky.

Larry Brown trained in advance, prepared the playoff rotation lineup, and prepared to protect the main players in advance.

The last 10 games of the regular season are basically three quarters.

Of course, the schedule is still beneficial to the Pistons.

If it weren't for so many tank teams, the Pistons wouldn't have won such an easy series of victories.

On April 4, the last back-to-back away game of the Pistons this season, the Pistons were a guest in Toronto against the Raptors.

This is the second time the Pistons have played against the Raptors in the past week. The Raptors are not strong now. For teams that cannot make the playoffs, it is meaningless to struggle.

The Pistons easily defeated the Raptors and won again.

After defeating the Raptors, the Pistons' regular season this season has come to an end.

This also means that Huo Song's journey to the playoffs for the first time is about to begin.
