I just want to lie down and win

Chapter 35

The schedule of the first week of the Pistons preseason is not long, but the changes are not small.

Although it was only two games, through actual combat, the coaching staff and players have discovered some problems that cannot be exposed by training alone.

Under Larry Brown's coaching, even if it's only been more than a week, the Pistons have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Relying on some experienced and more disciplined players, plus a full-featured coaching team brought by Larry Brown.

The Pistons quickly became a disciplined, tactical, offensive and defensive team.

Larry Brown gradually replaced the role of the head star and became the boss of the current Pistons.

All the players of the Pistons work around Larry Brown, whether it is Hamilton who is full of offense, or the big Ben who can only defend, block, and rebound.

Not to mention Huo Song, a rookie who seems to have some talent but is temporarily unusable.

As a part of the team, everyone has to take part in the work and play the roles that the team needs.

Under the design and arrangement of Larry Brown, Huo Song abandoned offense and began to train defense, screen, positioning and other skills.

Fortunately, as the exclusive training partner of the best defensive player Ben Wallace, Huo Song has about three hours of wing singles training time every day.

Huo Song can practice offensive skills with Da Ben during the training period, but in the game, Huo Song can rarely hold the ball, let alone low singles.

Time passed quickly, and it was October 10th in the blink of an eye.

The second week of the preseason started again. Today the Pistons sit at home and welcome the Raptors to challenge.

It is worth mentioning that Chris Bosh is in the same situation as Huo Song. He is obviously a high-ranking rookie, but he has not received much training time for the time being.

Compared with Huo Song who got playing time early in the first quarter, Bosh had to watch Antonio Davis finish the first half, and then he was able to play in the second half.

However, Huo Song and Bosh didn't have much time to face each other, and the time they played together in a game was less than 6 minutes.

As before, Larry Brown made Huo Song's rotation schedule very trivial.

Huo Song didn't have the chance to develop his touch.

If Huo Song wants to ensure scoring, he can only fight for every opportunity to grab offensive rebounds, and if he grabs offensive rebounds, he must desperately complete the finish or cause damage.

Even in the fourth quarter, only two or three balls were actually passed to Huo Song.

If you don't have the ball and want to score, then everything must be nonsense.

After scoring 30 in the first game of the preseason, Huo Song had difficulty scoring in double figures.

Even though this is the Palace of Auburn Hills, even if there are fans cheering for Huo Song, hoping to give Huo Song more opportunities during garbage time, Larry Brown still goes his own way and does not give opportunities.

Huo Song had already prepared for this, but he must not be in such a good mood when encountering such a bad thing.

However, after finishing this game, there is still some good news.

Today, the Pistons played relatively hard. In the garbage time of the second half, the rotation veterans that Larry Brown relied on were also ruled by the Raptors' rotten sweet potatoes and rotten eggs.

In the last home game, relying on Huo Song's vitality, Huo Song's ability, and Huo Song's perseverance, he made a comeback at the critical moment of the fourth quarter.

This time, in order to win the game, Larry Brown let Huo Song, a potential rookie, not cultivate, and eventually lost the game. After the game, Larry Brown naturally received controversy such as not being able to use Huo Song well.

After the game, when the Pistons were summing up the meeting after the start of the game, Joe Dumas rushed to the meeting room to support Huo Song, suggesting that Larry Brown needed to be careful.

Joe Dumars was a nice guy, but he wasn't really temperless.

Huo Song is the one he chose, the big dog still depends on the owner!

As soon as Huo Song scored 30 points, Larry Brown began to suppress Huo Song's offensive talent, and didn't let Huo Song touch the ball?Isn't this a slap in the face?
Don't hit people in the face!Joe Dumars, the general manager of the team, is at least the superior of the head coach of the team, Larry Brown!
If Larry Brown can always lead the team to victory, Joe Dumars will definitely have to stay dormant for a while, swallowing his anger.

But at this moment, Larry Brown's defense failed.Shouldn't Joe Dumars come out immediately and warn Larry Brown not to go too far?
Maybe Larry Brown realizes the problem, or maybe the Pistons really need players who can score in the paint.

On October 10th, in the fourth preseason game of the Pistons, Huo Song's possession of the ball increased a lot.

On this day, the Pistons continued to fight at home against the Celtics, who had already fought one before.

But from the perspective of the lineup, the Pistons are better than the Celtics.

With the end of the first half, the main force of the Pistons led the team to a 6-point lead, and the next game will be easier to play.

Huo Song took a shot in the first half and scored 2 points by dunking from the baseline.

In the third quarter, although Huo Song only played for 4 minutes, he still finished with 2% shooting in just 100 shots.

Next, Huo Song got more playing time in the fourth quarter and had more possessions.

On the one hand, it was passed by his teammates. On the other hand, Huo Song can play relatively independently in garbage time. Whether it is an offensive rebound or a defensive rebound, Huo Song can turn it into an offensive opportunity.

Relying on successive explosions in the fourth quarter, he made 7 of 5 shots, 2 of 1 free throws, and scored 11 points.

Huo Song played less than 20 minutes, but scored 17 points and 7 rebounds, which is a star-level data.

Before the Pistons fans came to watch the game, they were still worried that Huo Song would not be able to score in this game and his efficiency was not high.

When the match was over and they were about to leave, everyone was smiling and full of confidence in Huo Song's future.

Relying on Huo Song's outstanding performance in the fourth quarter, the Pistons beat the Celtics by 11 points and won their third preseason victory.

"Huo Song is definitely a super rookie with great potential!

His talent on the offensive end cannot be ignored!
Larry Brown should develop Huo Song's offensive ability as soon as possible, instead of cultivating Huo Song into the second Ben Wallace!

The distance from the Pistons to win the championship is not an All-Star center!

But a Hakeem Olajuwon, Shaquille O'Neal, Tim Duncan!

Even if Huo Song is not the No. [-] pick, if the Pistons have the No. [-] pick, Huo Song will be the No. [-] pick. "

The next morning, the Detroit Free Press, one of the two most prestigious newspapers in Detroit, wrote so.

Since the end of the draft, Huo Song's name once again entered thousands of households in Detroit.

The next day, the Palace of Auburn Hills welcomed the visiting Heat team again.

Maybe Larry Brown wanted to sing against the media, or maybe he just won a game, which made Larry Brown confident again.

In short, Larry Brown once again let Huo Song do the dirty work, but Huo Song failed to get the corresponding return of the ball.

Encountering such aggrieved things again and again, Huo Song is a human being, so it is inevitable that he will get angry and explode.

It was also a coincidence that Larry Brown suppressed Huo Song and did not allow Huo Song to attack or score. It just so happened that the Pistons were unable to score.
