Chapter 963: The Counterattack Completed in a Flash

In the first quarter, 76ers resisted with all their might, but the pistons had obvious advantages.

36 to 21

The gap was 15 points in the first quarter.

However, after all, the 76ers have two superstars. Although they are not as well matched as OK, they are far more united than OK. When they are in a hurry, they will fight for victory.

Duncan played the first quarter and then the second quarter because his offense was more stable than Iverson.

After Iverson came to an end, the 76ers' attack was all counted on Shi Buddha alone, and there was no way to replace him in the middle.

Thanks to Duncan, he scored six fouls in the Pistons' inside in the half.

These include Curry's three offenders, Rashid's two offenders and Magloire's one offender.

At his peak, Duncan was undoubtedly the number one inside in the Eastern Conference. Facing the Pistons inside group, he acted like the Sharks in the Finals a few years ago. Even if he encountered double-teams, as long as he was not a brutal attack of more than three people, he could use his good basic skills to find the best offensive method.

Under his leadership, the 76ers not only did not allow the Pistons to further expand the gap, but instead narrowed the gap to single digits.

58 to 49

Duncan scored 22 points and 8 rebounds in the first half, which was obtained at the cost of playing the full half.

At the end of the midfield, Duncan was interviewed by reporters and showed sufficient confidence in whether the second half could continue his performance in the first half: "The Pistons are strong. As chasers, we will stop them from creating history at the Wells Fargo Center at all costs. Please rest assured that we will fight until the last moment."

This is the power of superstars.

Duncan alone offset the advantages of the Pistons' inside group. At the same time, through the explosion-making attack of the inside, Princeton of the Pistons also had problems. The pressure on the outside increased, and the Pistons' shooter did not have enough shooting space and had to break through to the basket.

Once they rush into the basket, the iron barrel formation built by Duncan and Teelon Hill will not make the opponent feel better.

Judging from the performance in the second quarter, Duncan led 76ers to suppress the Pistons and was aggressive.

In response to Duncan's outbreak, Westfal made a key deployment in the intermission room: "We can no longer let Tim Duncan kick our ass so unscrupulously!"

It's very simple to do this. Just don't be beaten by him anymore.

But Duncan's current state is quite impressive. It is unrealistic to expect Curry and the others to suddenly wake up and engage in the same level of inside offense and defense as Duncan.

"From now on, don't let Duncan get a single chance at a low post. Even if he is short of AI, he must implement double-teams to the end!" Westfal made up his mind and would rather be shot by the outside line without blooming iron trees than let Duncan attack comfortably in a low post.

Westfar should have done so long ago.

The right way to empty the outside line in Philadelphia and double-team the inside line.

Why do you say that? Because the 76ers averaged 9 three-point shots and hit 3 goals so far this season.

What is this concept?

Michael Reed averaged 18 points per game this season, making 3 of 7 three-pointers, and hit at least 3 three-pointers in each game.

Reed's three-point shooting alone is worth the 76ers team.

Therefore, it is a very correct decision to emptie the 76ers' outside line and guard against Duncan to the death.

In the second half, the 76ers kicked off first.

Buckner dribbled through half the game, and Iverson and Duncan pulled the edge with the other three, thinking they were ready to play a triangle attack.

AD and the two stood on the weak side, and Buckner transferred the ball to Iverson's hands.

Duncan hurried Curry at low post, making him unable to move. He was comfortable to reach the offensive position, and Iverson hung the ball over again.

The intentions of 76 people are clear.

They also want to follow the example of the Lakers and have a multiple-choice question with two bottles of poison.

But the problem is that except for O'Neal, the other four starting players in the Lakers all had three-pointers. With the 76ers, Iverson, who has the greatest three-point threat, is often disturbed due to his insufficient height and has an average shooting percentage.

Duncan just got the ball, and Mo Mengchen decisively double-teamed in.

This decision makes people feel that the person he has let go is Ben Simmons, not Allen Iverson, who averages 1 three-pointer per game.

When Duncan saw that this was okay? He just got the ball and his teammates didn't even look good at the position, Mo Mengchen gave up on Iverson in front of him and came to double-team.

Nothing to say, just pass the ball.

Mo Mengchen quickly retracted, and Iverson shot three-pointers against the interference.

52 to 58

Iverson's touch made the scene feel jubilant.

"These are two bottles of poisons belonging to PHI!" Chicks said excitedly, "It seems that we have finally found the right way to play, there is hope! There is hope for this game!"

If you want to make your opponent desperate, you must first give him hope.

The 76ers' offense depends entirely on superstars, and the Pistons also have two superstars who can solve problems by themselves, but in most cases, they will choose to integrate into the team.

Iverson just made a three-pointer, and Momonchen called the scalpel tactic from the outside.

Princetonized scalpel tactics are rich and diverse. When Hill ran out of the forty-five degrees on the left, this was his favorite three-pointer. The opponent also knew that Buckner beside him flew over without regard for Ginobili's position.

Watching his defense get closer and closer, Hill's face has no unnecessary expression, but just transfers the ball to the unguarded Ginobili in front of him.

Argentine Demon Sword made a three-pointer.

61 to 52

"I will continue to double-team later. You can calculate the time and turn around." Mo Mengchen approached and said to Hill.

The Pistons' strong defense is not only because they have extremely strong individual defense, but also because of joint defense.

At first, they were also a running and bombing team with poor defense. They came year after year, and their opponents were constantly changing, so they had to adjust in a targeted manner.

Over the past five years, they have met many opponents, and their characteristics are different, which has enabled them to develop a variety of defensive routines.

The routine of oppressing the inside and forcing them to pass the ball will eventually go a little - targeted emptying.

The 76 people with ice saga players were even more empty.

Buckner dribbled over again, with the same routine, and even the position did not change. Even elementary school students knew that the same routine could not be used twice in the same way.

I just started using the left side, why didn’t I hit the right side this time? Although the effects are similar, it’s always not a bad thing to have more novel ideas.

Iverson received the ball and hung it to Duncan.

He was about to provoke Mo Mengchen, but unexpectedly, the opponent was completely in a position that had already hit an open three-pointer and ignored him and chased the ball towards Duncan.

"I will make you pay!" Iverson roared.

After Duncan got the ball, he immediately passed it back. During their passing and returning pass, Hill gave up Buckner and headed straight for Iverson's place.

Iverson got the ball, but he didn't have a big open position like before. The person who got the big open position was Buckner. Mo Mengchen should have turned to him, but he showed a negative defensive attitude and looked careless, as if it was no big deal to get the open position by the opponent.

Iverson passed the ball.

This season, Buckner, who scored 0.7 goals from the outside, shot 0.2 goals, carried the hope of the whole city and gave the Pistons an open three-pointer arrow.

"Bang!"

The sound of irons proved that the Pistons' strategy worked. Curry squeezed Duncan away and slapped the rebound at Mo Mengchen. The Pistons' counterattack began.

Iverson chased after him in a furious manner.

Mo Mengchen glanced back from the corner of his eyes. With his speed, although he could not completely throw Iverson away, he could also ensure that he could not catch up.

However, just a counterattack is not enough to hurt Iverson, the arrogant guy.

Momonchen slowed down and Iverson caught up.

"AI'm catching up!" Chicks' voice was loud.

Mo Mengchen and Iverson jumped up together. Their height and weight were not the same level, and one was declining, while the other was at the peak of their careers.

They jumped to the highest point at the same time, but Iverson's body could not withstand Momonchen's impact at all.

Mo Mengchen knocked away Iverson, grabbed the ball with his right hand, and smashed it with all his strength at the basket.

"Beep!"

The melodious whistle sounded so beautiful at this moment.

Holding the basketball's right hand, he drew a dazzling orange light in the air, and dunked the ball into the basket with a bang. With a loud bang, Iverson screamed and fell from the air.

As for Mo Mengchen, he always put protecting himself first, grasping the basket tightly, swaying in the void and looking down at his defeated opponent.

"From this perspective, you don't even have 170 cm." Mo Mengchen said sarcastically.

Iverson looked up with hatred, gritted his teeth tightly, and said in a voice that only he and Mo Mengchen could hear: "I will never give up."

As a winner, you must accept the shameless words of the defeated opponents.

It is not to show your broad mind, but you are very clear that these tough words will not affect the results and the competition between you.

Mo Mengchen fell down, without saying a word, turned around and walked to the free throw line.

In response to Iverson's trash talk, he closed his eyes and threw a penalty.

64 to 52

The rapid change of heaven and hell was unexpectedly unexpected at the scene.

The 76ers once grabbed the score difference to 6 points. In a blink of an eye, the Pistons made a 6-0 offensive, so they were 12 points behind.

Letting Duncan attack is still the core key to the 76ers' offensive end, but the Pistons' targeting is becoming more and more vivid.

At the beginning, it was just a small plot between Mo Mengchen and Hill, and others later joined the encirclement and suppression battle.

Except for Iverson, anyone else who wanted to shoot three points, the Pistons raised their hands to show their welcome.

What's even more exaggerated is that the Pistons use defense to prevent the level of whoever they want to drop an open three-pointer.

It was Buckner just now, and now it is Kenny Thomas, the swinger who has never made a three-pointer this season, has a three-pointer at the top of the arc and the Pistons' counterattack, and it was completed in an instant.

66 to 52
