I just want to lie down and win

Chapter 162 Riding on Bowen, suppressing Duncan (4000, please subscribe)

"I didn't expect the Western Conference Finals to end so soon!"

"So our opponent is the Spurs."

"Will it be a defensive battle next?"

The Pistons played the Eastern Conference Finals with the Heat the next day, and the results of the Western Conference Finals have also been announced.

The Spurs also defeated the Suns 4-1 in the Western Conference Finals.

The two teams for the finals have been determined, which means that the finals will start in three days.

马刺打完太阳，时间是6月2日，总决赛G1也就是6月5日开打。

Since this year's division finals were played relatively simply, the opening date of the finals will be slightly earlier.

It was also G1 of the finals at the Palace of Auburn Hills in Detroit, which started on June 6 last year.

This year is a bit early, but the Pistons and Spurs are well prepared.

At the beginning of the jump ball, Huo Song easily defeated the Spurs center Nazr Mohammed and helped the Pistons win the ball first.

Pistons first attack, Marbury singles Parker from the outside, dribbles in rhythm, suddenly casts a cold arrow, directly near the free throw line, and throws a half-block basket.

The Spurs were ready to double-team Huo Song in the paint, but the Pistons asked Marbury to warm up first.

Popovich on the sidelines didn't take it seriously at first. Marbury likes singles, so let him play singles.

A point guard who can't get the ball to his teammates doesn't need to care too much.

The Spurs play team basketball and know that basketball cannot be won by one person alone.

The Spurs are least afraid of a team whose stars can only win by fighting alone.

Speaking of the Spurs' offensive round, Parker held the ball in the top arc, first Bowen came over to make a screen, and then Duncan mentioned the horns, and then made a screen for Parker.

Marbury lost Parker, Prince defended, and Parker took advantage of the opportunity to pass the ball to Duncan who cut inside.

Because Duncan is good at playing high and high, he is not tall enough for Duncan to play, so Huo Song defended from the basket, which was also discussed by the Pistons in advance.

When Duncan saw Huo Song coming, he chose to hit the ground and pass the ball to Muhammad. Da Ben was immediately happy when he saw this.

Sure enough, Duncan didn't choose to play hard, but created opportunities for his teammates.

The Pistons' defensive strategy is still man-to-man.

Although the strongest point of the Spurs is Duncan, other players can score. If they are double-teamed, it may not have any effect, but they will be beaten by the Spurs.

Now that the ball has passed to Muhammad, Daben is indeed not as tall as him, but Daben still has the advantage in terms of tonnage.

Big Ben got stuck and didn't lose his position at all. Muhammad forced Big Ben and was blocked by Big Ben.

As soon as Huo Song turned around, he got a rebound.

Immediately afterwards, the ball was passed to Hamilton, but Ginobili suddenly shot out from the side and almost reached out and took the ball away.

Fortunately, Hamilton dribbled the ball a few times and still controlled the ball.

And Marbury had already run to the midfield, and just turned around, he saw Hamilton pass him the ball.

Soon, Marbury rushed to the basket, and facing Parker's defense was a one-handed dunk with a swinging arm.

Parker was hit by Marbury twice in a row, and his face was a little blue.

Perhaps at this time Parker's mind was filled with Popovich's chattering curses.

The fact is exactly the case, Popovich is furious on the sidelines.

On the Pistons side, Byron Scott had a smile on his face.

Both teams are strong defensive teams, and the Pistons led by 4 points at the start, which is much easier to play.

The Pistons still have home court advantage, so they are more likely to win this game.

It was the Spurs' offensive round again. Although the Spurs are twin towers, they have a taste of the Princeton system.

Duncan continued to support at a high position, and he did a lot of work on screens and moving the ball, but Duncan himself didn't make many shots.

The strongest point of the Spurs' starting lineup is Duncan.

Duncan didn't work hard and wanted to feed his teammates first, which naturally made the Pistons very happy.

The Spurs slowly feed the outside touch, we are not welcome!
As Ginobili hit a mid-range shot, but missed, Huo Song scored a defensive rebound, and the Pistons quickly launched another counterattack.

Huo Song passed the ball to Prince, who quickly crossed the half with the ball.

Marbury made an empty cut from the wing to the basket. In this situation, Parker must not be able to guard against it, and Bowen could only chase Marbury.

Then Parker came to guard Prince, however, Prince was not in a hurry to play to the basket.

While Marbury sank into the bottom corner, Huo Song had also come outside the three-point line in the frontcourt.

Prince passed the ball to Huo Song, who immediately accelerated.

At this time, Duncan and Muhammad were still behind Huo Song, and if they wanted to chase them, it would definitely be too late.

There was no way for the Spurs to guard against the opportunity. Bowen knew the situation was not good and rushed to the basket, but Huo Song took the lead, took off half a step inside the free throw line, directly gliding and dunking, and dunked the ball fiercely.

However, at this time, Bowen pretended not to know that Huo Song had already dunked the ball, and he still swayed under the basket for a while, and did not go to the baseline to serve, nor did he return to the frontcourt immediately.

Huo Song had already paid attention to this, and seeing that Bo Wen didn't leave, well, he took advantage of the opportunity to swing on the basket.

Huo Song swayed forward and sat on Bo Wen's head.

Bo Wen was a little angry, and just as he stretched out his hand to push Huo Song, Huo Song got off the basket.

Bowen reacted quickly, and he stopped when it was time to stop. Otherwise, he should have taken a technical offender directly, which shouldn't have happened.

Huo Song didn't let Bowen step up, but he didn't get fouled either.

However, Huo Song has already led by 6 points, which is a good phenomenon.

It is worth mentioning that, less than 2 minutes into the game, the Spurs seemed to be at a disadvantage, but Popovich just didn't call a timeout.

This makes the Pistons players even more excited.

The Spurs were playing positional warfare again. This time Prince predicted that Duncan was going to catch the ball, and suddenly accelerated from Duncan's side and took the ball away.

Although Parker got the ball back, Marbury continued to entangle, and the ball could only continue to pass.

Bowen received the ball, Hamilton also defended it, and soon Prince came to double-team, Bowen could hardly pass the ball, and finally had an idea, and used the gap in Prince's crotch to pass the ball over. In the hands of Duncan who responded.

Because the attack time was running out, Duncan was a little anxious to get the ball, so he turned around and hooked.

Unexpectedly, Huo Song's magical soldiers descended from the sky, and a thug suddenly covered Duncan.

Duncan hooked this time, but was directly grabbed by Huo Song.

Huo Song dribbled the ball immediately after grabbing the cap. First, he accelerated past Duncan, and then dribbled the ball from the sideline quickly.

The outside players of the Spurs returned to the defense without hiding it, but Huo Song first made a big change of direction and passed Ginobili, followed by a European step layup, and finally took off and tied the ball with Parker.

"2+1! It can be said that Tony Parker has been parasitic on Huo Song, but he can still fly like a space rocket!

The sky is the limit for him.

Very exciting dunk, very exciting offense! "

"Huo Song once again showed his physical talent! Not participating in the slam dunk contest is a loss for the league."

"Facts once again prove that as long as Huo Song rushes forward, no one can guard against Huo Song!"

"David Robinson shouldn't be retiring so soon, he should have a lot of emotion watching Huo Song play now.

We know, yes we know.

The last center to play this way was David Robinson of the Spurs! "

"Perhaps David Robinson at his peak can defend against Huo Song, who dribbles quickly by himself."

The live commentary first crazily praised Huo Song, and then made fun of the Spurs.

Is there no way to win without the admiral?
It is clear that Muhammad cannot make up for the absence of the admiral.

After Huo Song made a free throw, the score came to 0-9, and the Pistons led the Spurs by 9 points. This is something that Popovich, as the head coach of the Spurs, cannot tolerate.

So the first timeout of the game came like this.

Less than 3 minutes, it is relatively early.

After the timeout, the Spurs finally chose to focus on Duncan. Popovich didn't have the patience to wait for outside players to find a good touch.

The Pistons' defense is good both inside and outside. Although Marbury's defense is not as good as Billups', Parker has not been trained yet, and he still doesn't have the ability to single Marbury.

This means that the Spurs have no strong points to play outside.

The Spurs don't want to be pulled away by the Pistons by 10 points at once, and their morale is about to freeze, so they must score some points in sports games.

After Duncan struggled to hit the rim, the game finally got back on track.

A game in which both teams can score is a game, and a one-sided game is actually meaningless.

Having said that, even if the Spurs can score, the Pistons still maintain their lead.

And the advantage has not been reduced because of Duncan's efforts, basically maintained at around 8 points and 9 points.

In order to limit Huo Song's point, the Spurs focused on zone defense. When Huo Song received the ball, he shrank tighter under the basket.

However, Huo Song would run to the corner, and when he made a three-pointer from the corner, he was not merciless at all.

Huo Song was too easy to deal with Bo Wen's rush to the bottom corner, so he took the initiative to bump into Bo Wen before making a move.

No matter whether you score or not, there are three free throws.

The penalty in the finals is relatively strict, but the obvious thugs still have to give whistle.

Besides, this is the home court of the Pistons, which is very important.

After the Spurs suffered a loss, their defense became more rigorous.

Once the defense is more careful, Huo Song attracts the inside and strikers to defend, and then distributes the ball to the outside. The outside is basically open.

Marbury, Hamilton, both have baskets and can score from the outside.

Even Prince can occasionally find an opportunity to cut to the basket.

With 3 minutes left in the first quarter, the score was already 13 to 29, and the point difference was quickly opened to 16 points, which the Spurs absolutely did not expect.

The Spurs' defense is not bad, and it is one of the best defensive teams in the league.

But obviously Huo Song didn't attack inside, how could the point difference be widened so much?
Looking at the statistics, good guy, Huo Song has scored 8 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks in more than 2 minutes.

Is this for 40 points, 20 rebounds, 10 assists and 10 blocks?

It can only be said that Huo Song's influence on the field is getting bigger and bigger!

However, for the Spurs, fortunately, Huo Song is going down now.

Byron Scott replaced Huo Song early and played the second quarter.

Huo Song defended Duncan in the first quarter, and the effect was not bad, but it also consumed a lot of energy.

Huo Song is an inside player, and he doesn't only shoot and score, so he doesn't have that much requirement for the feeling of the opponent.

Therefore, it is not a big problem to be replaced by hot hands now.

As long as his physical strength is good, Huo Song in the second quarter can definitely surprise everyone with his skills and make the Spurs miserable.

After Huo Song left the field, Da Ben had a little difficulty defending against Duncan. Relying on Duncan's strength in the last 3 minutes of the first quarter, the Spurs recovered a little point.

At the end of the first quarter, 19 to 32, the Pistons still lead by 13 points.

After a break, the game quickly entered the second quarter.

The game continued in the second quarter. The Spurs still have Duncan on their side. It seems that they will not go down to rest for a while until the middle of the second quarter.

At present, the Spurs are not small in score, Duncan stays on the court, and the role of offense and defense is very obvious.

However, the Pistons played very simply.

Huo Song is young, and he also got a certain amount of rest just now. Now is the time when he is full of energy and doesn't talk about golf ethics.

In this quarter, Marbury simply acted as a dribbling guard and handed over the ball as soon as halftime passed. Either Prince held the ball or Hamilton held the ball. Occasionally, Huo Song would also attack from the top arc.

Of course, what Huo Song did the most in the second quarter was to challenge Duncan one-on-one.

Huo Song has a good back and can play like a power forward. Even if Muhammad is crouching under the basket, Huo Song can still shoot jumpers.

As Duncan used his physical strength to defend Huo Song, the Spurs had problems on the offensive end again.

In fact, there was such a problem in the first quarter. Duncan didn't score much in the paint, and Muhammad was just a blue-collar player, and the offensive end was a display.

Forward Bowen can only take one shot occasionally, Parker is immature on the outside, Ginobili is at his peak, but without the blessing of the NO Handcheck rule, it is obviously overthinking to break the Pistons' defense and frequently score in the paint.

You know, it was Prince who defended Ginobili.

Prince is not slow, and his hands are long enough.

Ginobili can occasionally draw Prince's fouls, but under the strategy of preventing penetration and not preventing shots, it is impossible for Ginobili to completely get rid of Prince.

Once Ginobili hits the inside, he will be faced with double-teaming from Big Ben and Prince.

It is precisely because of this that the Spurs in this game are forced to rely on jumpers to try their luck a lot of the time.

The Spurs have been lagging behind.

In the past, the Spurs fell behind and needed someone to lead the team out of difficulties. That person must be Duncan, and it can only be Duncan.

Now that Duncan has been exhausted by Huo Song on the offensive end, it must be a dream to continue to beat Huo Song with solid basic skills.

Duncan could succeed in beating Huo Song, but only a little.

Huo Song was defended by Duncan to a shooting rate of only about 50%, and Duncan was also limited by Huo Song to less than 50%.

Compared with Huo Song, Duncan's shooting needs more distance.

Huo Song can attack away from the basket, and Duncan's shooting limit is the corner position, hitting the board at 45 degrees.

Duncan is at the corner, and Hamilton cooperates with Huo Song to double-team Duncan, and Duncan can only hand over the ball.

Duncan failed to make a mid-range shot in the shooting hot spot, so he could only squeeze under the basket with a narrow space.

Duncan was uncomfortable playing, but the Pistons were comfortable.

35 to 58, after the second quarter, the Pistons had taken a 23-point lead in the first half.
