The 76ers who intend to sweep the Pistons in the regular season suffered a major blow.

The Pistons' joint defense and the pinched ball holder tactic caught them off guard. They made mistakes in four consecutive rounds, and the gap was widened to 14 points. Duncan's previous efforts were ruined.

After halftime, the Pistons led 76ers 64 to 50.

Larry Brown was very dissatisfied with the team's performance in the second quarter, which can be seen through the midfield interview.

His face was extremely ugly, like a terminally ill patient, his voice was hoarse and quite angry, indicating that he was not a patient, but was just angry at what had happened.

“We made a lot of unnecessary mistakes!”

"I don't understand why my players have so many low-level pass mistakes. Those mistakes seem to be possible only in low-level leagues!"

"We need to make good use of the half-time break to communicate!" Brown said with a gloomy face, "We will solve this problem!"

Brown is famous for his hot temper. He said he wanted to "communicate" with the players. It is certain that he would not chat in a friendly manner. The players who made mistakes would be scolded by him, especially Iverson and Snow, who were at a loss when facing the Pistons' double-team tactics.

It is understandable that Snow can't handle the double-team, but Iverson can't handle it either?

Brown underestimated the problems caused by his body disadvantages. He was used to Iverson's performance like a giant with a small figure, but Iverson was no longer Iverson in his heyday.

Every petite attack guard has a short peak period, and his physical fitness will decline, and his offensive firepower will decrease.

Duncan's arrival made Iverson not take the No. 2 position, which had severe physical wear and tear in his best years as he did in his previous life.

The existence of the piston and the oppression of the number one position by Momonchen made Brown have to let Iverson play the number one position, which is considered a butterfly effect that is a blessing in disguise.

However, he avoided the consumption of No. 2 but did not avoid the injuries that came to him on his own initiative.

Iverson suffered from serious injuries, and was angry with Brown and repeatedly played with injuries in order to show his toughness and courage. As a result, he usually did not perform too well, and the injury was exacerbated.

During the 15-minute halftime break, it was reported that Brown and Iverson had an "in-depth interaction" with him.

Some staff members said that the chair in the locker room of 76 people was broken.

The news soon reached the interview seat.

"They should now find a way to crack the piston's joint defense and pinch tactics." Meyers expressed dissatisfaction with this dispute that may exist or may not exist. "No matter what happens, we should not choose to quarrel at this time."

Carlesimo stood firmly on Brown's side: "The players are really becoming more and more rampant nowadays. The coach's authority is facing challenges all the time. Players do not know how to respect authority and are always self-centered. If this continues, the atmosphere will become more and more corrupt."

While speaking generously for Brown, Kalesimo couldn't help but remember the mark Sprewell left on his neck.

The discussion in the commentary seat was very hot, but it is hard to say whether this happened.

The halftime break ended soon.

Mo Mengchen and his teammates returned to the field.

In the second half, the Pistons sent the opening starter.

In terms of the 76ers, Iverson did not start and did not even appear on the bench.

Seeing that the double-team was about to get close, Mo Mengchen suddenly removed his strength and turned around to attack in front of the basket. The back-body pace that was hard to practice during the offseason came in handy at this time. Clarkston's center of gravity was turned and his back was disintegrated. The double-team failed to do it, and both of them were all defensive.

"Swish!" Mo Mengchen scored blue above the sky.

66 to 50

Without Iverson, the 76ers' offense is basically filled by Duncan and Coleman.

Clarkston was afraid of the Pistons' double-team and did not dare to quarrel with Mo Mengchen. He did not call the tactics and passed the ball out first.

From this point of view, the purpose of the piston has been achieved.

The core of the double-team ball-holder tactic is not double-teaming, forcing the opponent to make mistakes, but forcing the opponent's engine to fail to function.

It's like Coach Lu knew that Durant would be thrown to death by Durant, but he still had to do that.

Because although Durant's single-handed fight can kill people, once Curry makes a shot, it will be a blink of an eye to take away the game. There is no defender like Curry in the 76ers, and the Pistons mainly use destructive tactics to double-team them.

The ball holder cannot activate the tactics, and the 76ers' offense is only left to the star to fight.

Haplin, who was holding the ball, had to continue passing the ball before he could lift the ball to Duncan.

Rashid's circumference against Duncan, Hill's interference made the 76ers unable to deliver the ball to the most secure person, and the attack could only be initiated by Coleman.

Coleman played Miller in a misplaced position, and the No. 1 pick who was useless in talent was not fast. Dabaishun, who was mediocre in running and jumping, had great experience. He used his pace to hit Miller, and then attracted nearby Rashid to his side and passed the ball to Duncan.

Shi Buddha held the ball, leaned against Rashid with his body, and swung the button with one hand.

"Beep!"

The whistle sounded, Rashid made a defensive foul, and Shifo dunked.

"Rashid, be careful, you have committed three crimes." Mo Mengchen reminded.

"What does that matter?" Rashid said the truth casually, "He can't beat us alone."

Duncan seized the free throw, 53 to 66.

Duncan's free throws have always been at mid-level, with a shooting percentage of only over 60%. When the Celtics and the Pistons reached the Eastern Conference Finals, one of the critical moments of the game was that they lost because they failed to grasp the key free throw.

Duncan's free throws were very good tonight, and he scored all the free throws.

However, as Rashid said, such performance cannot win.

Mo Mengchen continued to fall to the low position, and he became addicted.

"Is it so interesting to play against a small guard from a low post?" Hill strangely passed the ball.

Indeed, this is really interesting.

Mo Mengchen gave up his extra steps, pushed Clarkston out of his back, turned around and took a step back, pulled it away, and threw it away at the speed of bounce. He shot outside the paint area.

68 to 53

"When did the dor.mo's back hitting become so good?"

"These few strokes just now don't look like I can't do anything to do with my back!"

Hill has had similar shocks many times. Whenever he sees Mo Mengchen dunk, he will ask, "Has this guy really experienced 3 ACL tearings on his knee?"

Only when Mo Mengchen dunked the blue and hung it on the basket and landed carefully, he believed that the other party had really had such an experience. Otherwise, with Mo Mengchen's personality, he would definitely not have been hanging on the basket for so long for the sake of the game.
