Chapter 250 [Devil's home court, qualification issue]
Wang Jun flew to Detroit that night and played two away games with the team.m Lewen Mobile Network
The goal of the Nets is to win at least one game, so that they will have a slight advantage when they return to the home court. After the big victory, some media changed their minds and began to be optimistic about the Nets' advancement.
The Nets will not look down on their opponents, and it is hard to say what method Brown will find to deal with it. The Pistons are not a team that will sit and wait for death. They have super cohesion and teamwork.
The Western Conference Finals are also in progress.
The Lakers beat the Timberwolves 97-88 in the first game and got a good start.
O'Neal made 9 of 11 free throws, unstoppable scored the highest 27 points and 18 rebounds in the game. Old Malone also performed well, scoring 17 points and 11 rebounds, and successfully defended Garnett.
Garnett had only 16 points and 10 rebounds in the game. With such a performance, the Timberwolves could not win at all.
The Timberwolves, the second battle held on the 23rd, was hit again, and Barkley became a super crow's mouth.
Barkley commented on this game. When the player appeared, Sam Kassel's shot appeared on the screen. He pretended to be surprised and joked: "Cassel has appeared. I want to call home quickly and ask if my family is scared by him."
Maybe he thought this was too much, and then Barkley said: "Actually, he is quite handsome, but he will never be on the cover of the magazine "Gentleman Quarterly".
Less than a minute after the game started, Kassel left the field after an old buttock injury relapsed, and all those who supported the Timberwolves were afraid.
If Kassel is seriously injured and cannot play next time, the Timberwolves' point guard is only one marginal man left. How can he play with the star-studded Lakers?
In this game, the Timberwolves players tried their best. Garnett scored 24 points and 11 rebounds, Spreville scored 17 points and 8 assists, Szebiak scored 16 points and 7 assists, and Martin, who replaced Kassel, also scored 15 points and 6 assists.
The Timberwolves, who played at home, defeated the Lakers 89-71 and tied the Western Conference Finals 1-1.
Funny thing is that after the game, media revealed that the reason why Kassel was injured was the "Cassel dance steps" in the seventh game against the Kings.
Kassel often twists his body and dances when the game is intense. When he or his teammates have wonderful performances, he usually bends his knees, sags his arms and holds something larger with his hands. Everyone knows what this means.
Because of its indecent movements, the "Cassel Dance Steps" became famous.
Kassel made a shot in the corner in the seventh game of the Western Conference Semi-Finals with the Kings, and then he began to dance Kassel's steps. It was then that he suffered a little avulsion fracture on his hip, which was purely causing trouble for himself.
On the 24th, the Nets and Pistons match began.
This season, Detroit fans are the most fanatical fans in the United States.
Before the game started, Big Ben, who was wearing a blast in the big screen of the stadium, held a sledgehammer on his face, smashed the away team's logo to pieces.
Black DJ Mason was very rhyming before the game, and shouted out the name of the home team star at the top of his lungs.
"Changxi-Billups!"
"Ben,Ben,Ben,Ben-Wallace."
His voice caused the home fans to shake their bodies and get goosebumps.
Well, Chinese fans actually don’t have that morale, just like the feeling of “stupid… Wallace”.
The appearance of celebrities such as singer Kidlock, Bob Seger and boxing star Tommy Hearns adds icing on the cake to the Auburn Hills Palace.
It is recognized that the Pistons' home atmosphere is far better than the Nets.
There are few celebrities watching the game at home for the Nets, and celebrities in New York support the Knicks. Wang Jun knows celebrities, but Theron never goes to the home for the game to support him.
Flames are everywhere in the Auburn Mountain Palace. This bandit mountain king-like territory is the famous home court of the devil.
However, when the game was played, the Pistons' score was still pitifully low.
Zhang Heli sighed: "The entire Pistons team is like a big book. They have first-class defense and third-class offense. They rely on defense to compete with others to win."
From this point of view, Da Ben is indeed the soul of the team.
"This is what the Pistons are good at." Yu Jia smiled and said: "Lary Brown does not value Mirisic, but he has dug up an important piece, which is Prince. His defense is really great."
Prince played well, but Wang Jun was unlucky. He couldn't attack, and the opponent who was targeting him could not play.
The Pistons mainly arranged their matchup in this game. Kittles' appearance also relieved Hamilton's pressure and did not have to withstand the impact of Wang Jun and Jefferson.
The net team's ball rights are in Kidd's hands. Wang Jun cannot get rid of the defense, so the ball will not be passed. This is a headache for him.
It's pure team basketball, and it's hard for players to play data.
In the second quarter, Wang Jun brought a substitute, and the Pistons let Darwin Hamm take the lead in defense. Collis replaced the defense after the pick-and-roll. The two strong men of height were not afraid of confrontation, and the speed of switching defense was not slow.
Rucios' organizational ability is not as good as Kidd, and he cannot lead the entire team, and both sides have a mess of offense.
As a famous coach, it is impossible for Brown to have no tricks. A simple adjustment can make up for the weakness of defense.
There must be a big man to interfere with Wang Jun. It doesn’t matter if you prevent Jefferson from shooting. If you enter the inside, you will be on the defense.
The Pistons point guard is Mike James, who is good at holding the ball. He plays singles after pick-and-roll, attracting defense passes and Oku's shots, and others who can make the ball outside. If you can enter, you can enter, and you can't fight for defense.
In the first half, the Nets led by 3 points 40-37.
Wang Jun scored 5 points and 4 rebounds, and he played very depressedly.
In the second half, Lawrence arranged a small ball tactic, and Rodney played the No. 4 position in order to add a bottom corner three-point shooting point to open up space.
This became a double-edged sword. Martin defended the middle and prepared to make a fast break, allowing Wang Jun and Rodney to defend the low post together, and they were too short to protect the basket.
Rashid Wallace, who played two games, scored three times and overtook Wang Jun.
During the positional offense, Rashid also played pick-and-roll with Billups, and received the ball and made two mid-range shots against Kidd.
In the last minute, Rashid gave Hamilton a side screen and cut in the gap, and misplaced against Jefferson and forced a basketball shot.
He scored 12 points in a single quarter, ensuring the Pistons' offensive firepower and at the same time resisting the opponent's impact on the defensive end.
57 to 63, the Nets fell behind and entered the fourth quarter.
The net team's positional battle is in the hands of Jefferson, Kidd and Martin, and Wang Jun is waiting for opportunities on the outside.
No matter what you do, the company or the team, you have to be qualified.
The Nets Trident and Kittles are players with relatively high qualifications. At critical moments, such players are more likely to gain the trust of the coaching staff.
The same is true for Wang Jun’s friend Kaman to play as a substitute in the Clippers. The training is gradual. The management must consider the psychology of other players. If it is not done well, it will cause internal conflicts.
There are usually two situations when new players are in charge. The team is bad and the team is rebuilt.
At critical moments, the coach did not arrange tactics for Wang Jun, not deliberately suppressing them, but something that most teams would do, and they dare not take risks.
If Wang Jun takes the most shots and is very low in efficiency, loses the game and his teammates are dissatisfied, the problem will be more serious than letting the core shoot and lose.
Unfortunately, Jefferson, Kidd and Kitels had a bad shooting touch, and Martin's approach to cutting the pick-and-roll in the empty space was also studied thoroughly by his opponents.
78 to 85, the Nets lost the away game, with a total score of 1 to 2.
