Chapter 774: Goal is the answer
The half ended, 56 to 46.
The 76ers were 10 points behind. Except for Mo Mengchen, the Pistons performed at an average firepower point, and even Hill only scored 10 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists.
Mo Mengchen scored 24 points and 5 assists in the first half. On the one hand, he forced Iverson into a one-on-one challenge, and on the other hand, it made it difficult for the 76ers to combine the internal and external lines.
"Actually, we all know what the right way is."
Morris Chicks seems to be trying to help Larry Brown coach: "As long as you pass the ball to TD, the problem will be solved."
"The problem is that they can't leave Ai and let TD solve it alone." His partner said the problem that had troubled Brownho for the time.
This is the disadvantage of having two superstars. Not every head coach allows superstars to be in their own position like a Zen master.
Even if a Zen master encounters a different personality like ok and is unwilling to be a small guy, it will be difficult.
The audience at Wells Fargo Center is very puzzled by the team's performance. There are superstars inside and outside, so why can't they play the dominance of the Lakers?
After the 15-minute intermission, rumors spread that 76 people had friction in the lounge.
“Ai and Larry had an unsuccessful exchange.”
"Larry believes that Ai should give up part of his ball rights."
“This matter has not been confirmed yet.”
The staff were talking, and the players had returned to the court. As the Pistons' offense started, Hill made a V-shaped attack and passed the ball to Houston, who made a three-pointer.
59 to 46
The score difference reached 13 points.
Mo Mengchen retreated, and he also heard about the news from the locker room of 76 people. He could not confirm the authenticity of the news.
Brown has been through a long battle. Although he is irritable, his temper is not that fierce to rookies and coolies, and to core players like Iverson who have proved himself or are unshakable.
This is just the first game in the Eastern Conference Finals. Even if Iverson loses due to too many attacks, what can I do?
In a series of seven games and four wins, one game cannot determine the result.
Thinking about this section, Mo Mengchen concluded that this was just fake news, or processed half-true and half-false news.
In the first goal of the second half, Iverson passed the ball to Duncan, as if to break the rumors that came out of the lounge.
If he really had a conflict with Brown, with his personality, he would not implement any of Brown's tactics, nor would he listen to Brown's words and give the ball to Duncan.
His choice to give the ball to Duncan, which actually clarified the conflict indirectly.
Duncan was not discouraged because of the delay in coming the ball. In the first attack in the second half, he first turned around and walked to the bottom line. Rashid was not a good person. He had already expected that he would do this. The center of gravity moved and stuck Shifo's forward line. This road was blocked, and there was something else. Shifo did not put the ball away, which gave him more possibilities for his offense. The ball landed for the third time. Duncan turned around and stepped into the center with his roaring body. He started to shoot and shook the sensitive Rashid. Finally, when he landed, he forced himself to smash the ball into the basket.
"nice!" Iverson excitedly clapped Duncan and smashed the rumors again.
Hill said: "If these two people can work together, it's really hard to do."
It's well said, but isn't this nonsense?
Even two mobs, as long as they work together, they can burst out unimaginable power, let alone the two superstars at their peak?
Momonchen did not continue to hold the ball, which made Laga Bell relieved.
The 20 points in the first half proved that the 76ers could not defend him at all. In this slow-paced game, he allowed his opponent to score so many points with a shooting rate of nearly 70%, and the defense effect was not much better than air.
The reason why Mo Mengchen passed the ball is very simple. No matter why Iverson passed the ball, he was already awake, and it would not be meaningful to stimulate him by relying on a one-on-one challenge.
Although Mo Mengchen is in good condition, he doesn't want to fight against two. Iverson wants to activate Duncan, and he has to activate Hill.
This is why Hill got a lot of balls at the start of the third quarter.
He stood at the position where Mo Mengchen was usually in the arc. This is a position where he could look at the half-field, and with his height, he could do this more easily than the defender.
Then, Hill made a gesture: Maze pick-and-roll.
Ben Wallace still cannot understand the mystery of the maze pick-and-roll. He has a lot more tricks than last season's finals.
The maze pick-and-roll is mainly used to target O'Neals who move slowly and cannot prevent pick-and-roll - they were originally born to deal with O'Neal - 7 Strictly speaking, the 76ers are the nemesis of the maze pick-and-roll.
Duncan and Ratliff, two top defenders, blocked shots and moved quickly. They were able to be at ease in the prosperous era of center forwards, power forwards and small balls.
But there is nothing in the world that has stopped moving forward but has never been eliminated.
The same is true for tactics. The maze tactics is a tactical system designed by Westfar himself. He designed the tactical body, and then through the study of the coaching staff, the tactics have undergone countless changes in all sizes.
The center needs to remember 50 pick-and-roll and cover methods, and 75 power forwards. The ball holders are the most troublesome. They need to remember the tactical moves in all positions, pick-and-roll routes and changes in each place. According to Westfal, there are 300 changes in the maze tactics in total, but Momonchen claims that his notes have as many as 400 tactical changes in the maze tactics, and this number is still increasing.
Hill is known as the Wizards. The maze tactics he masters are actually only one-third, far less than Mo Mengchen. Now that he wants to drive this tactic, the most important thing is not to bully the opponent's movement speed inside the inside, but to confuse their attention.
In an instant, Duncan's judgment was wrong, and Ratliff did not read the defense. Hill penetrated the 76ers' steel fortress and scored a one-handed dunk.
61 to 48
Duncan looked back at Hill. He didn't look shocked, but felt novel.
Obviously, he remembered the routine just now.
The tactical changes just now must not be used anymore.
The 76ers took the initiative to defend against the pistons, and in turn, the same thing would happen to themselves.
The amazing defensive pressure oppresses people's hearts like a phantom. Iverson saw that Duncan still had no chance after passing the ball, immediately took the ball and changed backwards and leaned back sharply. This is his signature method. Ai, who is at his peak, uses such an offense without any pressure.
It is impossible to maintain high efficiency with a difficult offense. This shot looks good, but in fact it completely deviates from the channel. Duncan quickly judges the rebound and takes off the offensive rebound. He pushes Rashid with his elbow and kicks his feet together, as if he wants to break the basket.
50 to 61
"This is td!"
"He led the Celtics to fight the Pistons alone!"
Then we swept out 4-0.
Mo Mengchen picked up the ball and threw it to Rashid. He rubbed his stomach, where Duncan just pushed it.
That action looked dirty, but in fact it was just a regular action in the inside line. The collision in the penalty area was much more intense than the outside line. Various dirty actions emerged one after another with the referee's acquiescence, and even people like Duncan were no exception.
Good kids who don’t know how to play dirty can’t survive inside.
Rashid responded angrily to Duncan, which was a straight-arm jump shot from the free throw line.
He was too angry, and the ball was a little stronger than usual, and the ball turned around the basket and bounced out.
This was Iverson's favorite rhythm, Duncan took the defensive rebound and sent the ball straight away.
Iverson drove at full speed and fought back.
52 to 61
"The difference is chasing to single digits!"
Mo Mengchen stopped standing obediently this time. He deliberately came to Hill's side and stopped suddenly.
Devil Mountain took advantage of his pick-and-roll to break through and break into the dangerous three-point line.
Ratliff happened to appear, and his former teammate jumped into the air with him at this moment, and his scary long arms made Devil Mountain pass the ball backwards.
Mo Mengchen caught the pass and passed it to Houston on the left.
Houston took the ball and turned again, and it was Rashid again in the bottom corner.
He made three-pointers at his worst three-pointer.
"What is the bank password for 76ers?" Rashid muttered, and three points fell into the pocket.
He punched the air heavily and shouted loudly: "The goal is the answer!"
64 to 52
Chapter completed!
