Chapter 52 Dominating the First Quarter
Clang!
Ilgauskas received a wonderful pass from James after the breakthrough and completed a wonderful alley-oop, with the whole person hanging on the basket.

With a bang, James broke through with the ball in the middle, and directly used his body to hit Billups who was blocking the offensive line. Then, he made an emergency stop, stepped down and dribbled the ball, dodged the space, left the free throw line, and made a two-point jumper Take the shot and hit two points accurately.

Later, Li didn't let James and Ilgauskas be the only ones. He singled out Hamilton with the ball on the right side. With a cross dribble, he got rid of Hamilton's close entanglement, gained breakthrough space, reached the inside, and made two steps to the basket. , dodged in the air, dodged Ben Wallace's block, and then hooked, the basketball rubbed against the backboard, got into the basket, and with a swish, the net splashed.

Although the Cavaliers struggled to score points, hit consecutive hits, and recovered a lot of points, but at the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers still trailed the Pistons by 23 points 34 to 11.

Hamilton's off-the-ball running skills are too superb. During the whole quarter, he ran with all his strength, especially after Hamilton ran out of the shooting space, the shooting percentage of catches and shots was also quite high, almost as he came. , made 10 of 7 shots in a single quarter, like chopping melons and vegetables, and scored 16 points in a single quarter. It can be said that one person dominated the entire quarter with his off-ball movement, catch and shoot skills, and turned the Cavaliers' defense upside down. .

On the coaching bench of the Cavaliers, Paul Silas's face became more and more gloomy, and the victory was covered with dark clouds, so gloomy that it seemed that water was about to drip.

In order to freeze Hamilton's offensive momentum, Paul Silas tried to let James focus on defense, cut off the connection between Billups and Hamilton, and pressed Billups closely.

Billups is the brain center and pacemaker of the Pistons' offensive organization. As long as Billups is frozen, the Pistons' offense will be paralyzed. However, Billups is very experienced and can reduce mistakes. At the same time, with a fatal blow, he seized many passing gaps, delivered ammunition for Hamilton, and passed many wonderful strikes.

Moreover, both Okur and Spring have the ability to support the pass, especially Okur, who took the initiative to pull out of the three-point line and evacuate the space under the basket, making room for Hamilton to display his off-ball running skills. It simply made the Cavaliers' defense careless and overwhelmed.

Okur has shooting ability, can shoot in the middle and even has a three-point range. He has no shooting space, and he can hold the ball in European steps, break into the inside line to score, shoot from inside and outside, and can pass the ball, which restrains part of the Cavaliers' defensive energy. .

As a result, Paul Silas' tactical idea of ​​​​cutting off Hamilton's receiving route failed.

Since it is impossible to block Hamilton's catch, then he can only resist hard and prevent him from running out of the open space for shooting, right?Anyway, Hamilton does not have the ability to attack with the ball, but it is still very difficult to keep the master-level Hamilton out of space.

Ricky's poor defense was evident in this game. Simple counter-running, sudden changes of direction during the march, using teammates as a wall cover, etc. Ricky struggled to adapt to a running technique, but he couldn't keep up with it. Using another kind of running technique, even if it occasionally blocks the first two, it is simply helpless to face the cover-running tactics.

Paul Silas found that Ricky couldn't stop Hamilton, so he had to put on JR-Bremmer to try, but he was still beaten in the face. Then, he asked James to switch defenses, but he still couldn't defend.

Since Hamilton cannot be defeated by a single defense, other players can only be arranged to assist in defense. Anyway, he will not be given an open shot.

As a result, Hamilton's offense was blocked, but half of the Cavaliers' defensive energy was involved, and the other four points of the Pistons were alive, playing a multi-point offensive situation.

Spring's air-cut layup, Ben Wallace's easy dunk under the basket, and Okur's breakthrough layup and mid-range shot also frequently tested the Cavaliers' defense.

Barkley was dumbfounded, and said loudly in disbelief: "What did I see? I didn't expect that the ordinary off-ball running tactics would be like a scalpel, tearing apart the Cavaliers' defensive formation and directly causing the Cavaliers' defense to lose sight of one another. Out of position frequently, the player Hamilton is really eye-opening!"

Kenny Smith nodded, and then explained: "There is only one basketball on the basketball court, and the distribution of the ball is extremely important.

Hamilton's off-the-ball running skills don't need to occupy a lot of ball possessions. Larry Brown, the famous coach, obviously saw the value of Hamilton's ball, and specially created a set of offensive tactics for him. Own the pattern of this game to break the surface.

But then again, let’s not mention Hamilton’s superb off-the-ball running skills. Shooting with open hands can actually make people feel chilling, and a sentence can't help but emerge in my heart: This ball can be scored! ! "

In the first quarter, Hamilton's off-the-ball running skills and catch-and-shoot skills were simply unbelievable. When the Cavaliers' defense was destroyed like a scalpel, Lin Bai was on the bench with a dignified expression.

Go to the [Basketball Pope Game] page, click on the [Skill Activation Card], and a series of information will be displayed.

【Skill Activation Card】

Grade: Grade A

Origin: Two-dimensional God's Domain (unknown subworld)

【use or not? 】

Without even thinking about it, Lin Bai hurriedly glanced at the information, and directly chose to use the [Skill Activation Card].

Bright heart candy, rainbow fruit, star lottery card, shooting display card.

The patterns of the four objects in front of Lin Bai's eyes kept turning and flickering, one bright and one dark,

Lin Bai's mood was also ups and downs, just like a roller coaster.

The last time I was unlucky, I actually won the Mingxin Candy. This time, let me bring back a big prize! !
Lin Bai roared inwardly, looking forward to better luck in this lottery draw.No need for Mingxin candies, he doesn't mind any other ones!
Lin Bai's eyes were fixed on the patterns of these four items, and he only had one thought in his mind, that is: don't want Mingxin candy, don't want Mingxin candy, don't want Mingxin candy...

"Congratulations to the player, the rainbow fruit has been activated and repaired! Thank you for using it!"

【Rainbow fruit】?
Lin Bai's face was very calm, and his heart was relieved. Seeing the rainbow fruit pattern came into view, Lin Bai clenched his fists excitedly.

【use or not? 】

Lin Bai hesitated for a moment, but suppressed the impulse in his heart, and chose to use it now.

After all, now is the end of the first quarter. If it is used in advance now, how can he see the shooting area when halftime is over and the side is changed to fight again?
For one session, wasting two sessions of skills?This approach is very unwise. Although, the Pistons are now in full swing, if they can't suppress his offense, maybe the Cavaliers will be here at halftime and enter garbage time.

Therefore, the second quarter game is a test. Without skills, we must hold the current score situation and prevent the score gap from widening again, so that the Pistons can establish the victory trend of the game at halftime.

So in the second quarter, how should I adjust it?What lineup should I line up?What kind of tactics to play?
At this time, Lin Bai didn't have the slightest idea.

However, if you want to break the Pistons' defensive position, you can only speed up the offense first, speed up the rhythm, and disrupt the Pistons' defensive formation. If you fight the Pistons' defense, you will have no chance of winning at all.

You know, the Pistons this season have had a phenomenal performance defensively.Of course, the five tigers of the Pistons still lack a roaring god Rasheed Wallace.

However, Okur is equally powerful.

In terms of defense, we can only make trade-offs. First try to defend against Billups and Hamilton. physical strength.

(a runner who can run and shoot)

Hamilton had these text message prompts on his head.

(A calm and cold-blooded organization player)
Heads also appear in these text message prompts.

…………

Approaching the Pistons' bench and checking the Pistons' player information, Lin Bai calmed down. After thinking for a while, he made the list for the second quarter.
