Chapter 165 Pulling the Piston
Chapter 165: Pull the piston
Originally, if Trek White could correct his mentality and compete head-on with Wu Feng, he would not have been abused so badly. ""Net.com.com, but before the game started, he had a timid mentality, and then his ending for this game would have been destined.
In the third quarter, the Pistons, who played away, took the lead. McGrady's outstanding performance in the first half won him the opportunity to start in the second half, and he also brought great help to the Pistons on the court.
Although he can no longer score like he was at his peak, he can now use his experience and passes to help the team win.
With McGrady's support, the Pistons' offense was getting better and better, and the offensive efficiency suddenly improved greatly. However, the Pistons' defense was not very good. While scoring points, they failed to stop the Magic from scoring points.
Maddy's pass from the baseline, Techelon Prince easily received the pass.
Gerald Wallace's defensive loss allowed Techelle Prince to easily run out of the open position, and a mid-range jump shot made the ball into the net.
The match between the two sides is still going on, and the intensity of the second half is even greater than that of the first half.
Techelon Prince's pass mistake was cut off by Gerald Wallace. Wu Feng, who was ambushed near the center line, had already started the game.
In the Magic's fast attack system, Wu Feng and Gerald Wallace are the two sharpest sharp knives. Wu Feng's speed and explosive power are naturally the first candidates for fast attack.
Vince Carter's speed is now only upstream, with many defenders in the league above him. Therefore, in the fast break, he can only be placed in the third choice.
"Swish", a beautiful three-step layup, Wu Feng completed this fast attack counterattack.
Since it has now entered the third quarter of fierce confrontation, Wu Feng has minimized the relatively physically consumed dunks, but used layups to complete the attack.
Although the layup was not as good as dunks, fans were also very excited to see the Magic's smooth attack.
After being snatched two offensive rebounds by the Magic, Pistons head coach John Custer realized that Greg Monroe was obviously defensive to death by the Magic.
The Magic seemed to be addicted to playing fast breaks, and the pace of the game was getting faster and faster.
The passive trend of the Pistons is becoming more and more obvious. Although the Pistons have narrowed the gap to less than 15 points, the scoring during this period mainly relies on the players' personal singles ability and rarely plays effective cooperation.
Especially Techelon Prince's three-point shot, the ball stumbled on the ring a few times before he got into the ring. "".com
Such a goal made John Custer frown slightly. He was not satisfied with the goal just now. The Magic's rigorous defense made the Pistons' passes fail.
Time passed little by little, and as the 24-second offensive deadline arrived, Texan Prince had no choice but to make a strong shot from outside the three-point line.
Gerald Wallace had already noticed Techelle Prince's running position. While Greg Monroe split the ball, he had quickly pounced on Techelle Prince.
But Gerald Wallace was one step late after all, and the basketball flew out by rubbing his fingertips.
But within five seconds, the Magic returned one of the Pistons.
Gerald Wallace's breakthrough pass was assisted by Vince Carter, who received the ball at the bottom line, and scored a three-pointer.
"Swish", the beautiful hollow ball, Vince Carter waved his right fist heavily.
Gerald Wallace is not only a scorer and rebounder, but also a passer. Although he does not have the vision of a defender, his passes are outstanding in the small forward position.
Moreover, if Gerald Wallace, known as the "Desperate Saburo", is really scary.
The Magic lost the score difference to fifteen points, and Pistons head coach John Custer had to call a timeout.
From beginning to end, the Magic always took the initiative in the game. The pace of the game was very fast, and the Pistons could only chase the Magic's butt and hit it.
After the timeout, the game continues.
When the Pistons' bench was in turmoil, Techelen Prince's right-wing three-point shot made a little stable with the uneasy morale.
At the critical moment, Techelon Prince finally reflected the value of core players.
Although there are players like Richard Hamilton, Ben Wallace and Ben Gordon in the team, in fact, since Chauncey Billups left, Techelon Prince has become the backbone of the team.
The Little Prince was selected by the Detroit Pistons in the 23rd pick in the first round in 2002, and he has only played for the Pistons team in his career.
He can make a splash and has solid low-post offensive skills, and his natural growth arm can often attack cities and villages when the team cannot open up.
Moreover, defense is Taychen Prince's special ability, with outstanding blocking and stealing ability, and excellent defense awareness. Although he is thin, he does not suffer any loss in confrontation. ("" website 7*)
He once successfully defended his current teammate McGrady in the first round of the playoffs with a total score of 2-0, helping the team achieve a big comeback.
What's more, being selected for the second team of the best defensive team for four consecutive years is the greatest affirmation of his defense.
For John Custer, who was planning to substitution, this three-pointer was equivalent to a heart-warming agent, which dispelled his impulse to substitution.
However, in today's game, several outside players of the Magic took turns to attack the Pistons' inside line, especially for Wu Feng's breakthrough, the Pistons could not stop it.
Wu Feng made another breakthrough. After attracting two Pistons defensive players to double-team, Wu Feng quickly divided the ball into Vince Carter at the top of the arc.
"Swish", Vince Carter once again scored a three-pointer.
This is his fifth three-pointer in this game, and so far, his three-pointer has been five-for-seven.
John Custer was already anxious on the sidelines and he never dared to be careless about the Magic's game.
John Custer did his homework before the game started, but he never expected that Vince Carter would explode today. What he had even more headache was that even though he knew that Vince Carter was hot, he did not dare to double-team him easily.
Wu Feng's frequent breakthroughs, Gerald Wallace's several cold three-pointers, and Dwight Howard also made two second attacks. All four of them have the ability to average scores of more than 15 games, and the consequences of letting anyone go is unimaginable.
At this time, the initiative on the field had almost completely fallen into the hands of the Magic.
71:53, the Magic have already led the Pistons by 18 points.
After a timeout, everyone was surprised to find that Wu Feng was not among the players.
It seems that the lead in a big score has made Stan Van Gundy feel more relaxed. He also took this opportunity to replace Wu Feng with a break. After all, continuous breakthroughs are a huge test for Wu Feng's physical strength.
However, many people believe that the Magic's substitution this time is not very wise. The Magic can lead the opponent with a big score. Although Vince Carter's sudden raid is an important reason, the main reason is Wu Feng. It is his frequent breakthroughs that attracted most of the attention of the Pistons. The Pistons' defense line is shrinking to the inside line as much as possible, so that Vince Carter can get more opportunities to make mobile phones.
Although the Magic led the way with a big score, both sides were not one-sided on the court. The main problem of the Pistons was that they were on the offense.
Taichyan Prince, who had performed well before, suddenly fell into the quagmire of fouls. Just six minutes after the third quarter, he suffered four fouls and had to sit on the bench in depressed manner.
The Magic's wisest way now is to take advantage of Techelle Prince sitting on the bench and expand his advantage in the score. After all, Techelle Prince's fate will be a big blow to the Pistons, both offensively and defensively.
The Magic can take advantage of this opportunity to expand the gap to more than 20 before the end of the third quarter.
jj Redick replaced Vince Carter, and Chris Duhong also came up. Such an outside combination has dropped by at least a level.
John Custer is also a very experienced coach. The changes on the field are difficult to escape his eyes. The Magic's outside offense slowed down, and the inside offense was particularly important. Taking advantage of a chance to die, Greg Monroe quickly replaced the court.
The court is always changing rapidly, lacking the threat of breakthrough, and the Pistons' defensive ability is reflected again. There are no obvious defensive loopholes in the current five positions of the Pistons.
The Magic missed three consecutive shots, allowing the Pistons to take the opportunity to score a 8:2 little **, all of which were Greg Monroe scored from the inside.
Stan Van Gundy had to request a timeout, but after the timeout, Wu Feng was still sitting on the bench.
"Drip", the referee blew a whistle.
Greg Monroe pushed Brandon Bass in anger, and his move was called by the referee for a technical foul.
The Magic's current tactics are very simple, which is to limit Greg Monroe's possession of the ball in the inside. Once the ball reaches Greg Monroe's hands, at least two players will come forward to double-team. As long as the ball in Greg Monroe's hands is lifted to his chest, someone will immediately step forward and hug him.
Although his movements were not rude, he would not forget to hold Greg Monroe's arm holding the ball, so that he would not even have a chance to shoot.
So, when Brandon Bass hugged Greg Monroe and gave him no chance to take action, the 20-year-old big man got angry.
But his irrationality also brought him punishment.
jj Redick walked onto the free throw line and converted this technical foul free throw into 1 point.
Greg Monroe was very angry. The Magic strengthened his defense against him. It was already very difficult to catch the ball in the inside. The ball was either destroyed or interfered by the Magic's foul tactics.
His condition has just improved, and Greg Monroe's current offense is very strong. He cannot catch the ball safely in the inside, so he took the initiative to pull to the high position.
After leaving Greg Monroe at the basket, his deterrence was reduced by at least half. Greg Monroe had a certain ability to shoot mid-range shots, but compared to his offensive ability at the basket, his mid-range shots naturally could not relieve near-thirst.
Brandon Bass' performance was very positive and his strong body made Greg Monroe go out of the inside, making it difficult for him to return to the basket.
Without Techelon Prince and Greg Monroe, the Pistons were in trouble on both offense and defense. After the "Maskman" Hamilton shone in the first quarter, the next three quarters were completely silent.
Big Ben is in no state in this game. He has no offense and has no defense, and he is simply a soy sauce.
At the end of the third quarter, the Magic had already led by up to 25 points.
After entering the fourth quarter, the Magic all replaced the substitute lineup, without a main player. But even so, the Pistons failed to narrow the gap to within 15 points.
In the end, the Magic easily defeated the Pistons at their home court 103:86.
When the moment of the game came, the fans of the audience stood up and celebrated.
Although Stan Van Gundy planned to let Wu Feng play for more time, after seeing Wu Feng return from the court, he no longer had the intention of fighting before, and he understood that Wu Feng had already settled his previous grudges.
Stan Van Gundy also knew that Wu Feng's old rival was Trek White. Wu Feng scored 0 points in the match against Trek White, and made the opponent make several mistakes, several fouls and several blacksmiths. This is already a great shame.
Moreover, the Magic have basically held the victory in their hands. So Stan Van Gundy no longer let Wu Feng appear, and Wu Feng was not dissatisfied with Stan Van Gundy's decision.
In this game, Wu Feng only played 25 minutes, scoring 16 points, 10 assists, 5 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks. In terms of turnovers, Wu Feng controlled it very well today, and never once. What is even more amazing is that Wu Feng's shooting percentage is also very high, making six shots of eight, 75%.
In other words, Wu Feng won the battle with Trek White today in the battle of his old enemy.
From today on, Treko White is no longer the arch rival Wu Feng wants to compete. Because the strength of the two is not at the same level.
Vince Carter, who was out of luck today, scored the highest score in the game, 33 points. This score was also Carter's score high this season, and his high shooting percentage also satisfied Stan Van Gundy.
In addition to 33 points, Vince Carter also grabbed 8 rebounds.
Carter's cousin McGrady also performed very well in today's game. 13 points and 10 assists, and this double-double was also the first time he scored this season.
In the eyes of many fans, the reason why the two brothers performed well in this game may be because of the secret competition between the two brothers!
