No solution to misalignment

The piston's iron barrel array is famous. Many people may think that their defense is similar to joint defense, enclosing the space within the paint area like a barrel, but in fact, the iron barrel is just an appropriate description given by the ball judge.

The key is the word "Iron". Since the 1990s, all the champions in the Eastern Conference have been outrageously strong in defense.

The East, which advocates physical confrontation, can always produce defensive teams (alias the ratings killer) that make David Stern and others tingle. The defensive styles of these teams are also different. Although the Pistons' outside line is not as fierce as the previous generation of the Bulls' Second Dynasty, they win in a balanced way. The starting five players have no defensive loopholes, and there are also players who can compete for good combat on the bench.

Their defensive core is confrontation and pressure, especially the pressure on the ball holder.

When Xie Hou had no feel of shooting, he could not use his shot to open up space. Collis Williamson, the tank man who faced him, dared to retreat and fight for space.

In the first half of the first quarter, Xie Hou sought to find ways to stimulate the potential of his teammates in a normal way.

As the team's scoring champion, he has a strong offensive deterrent power with him, but now he is not shooting accurately and has not made a big breakthrough. Williamson is under pressure to defend.

Xie Hou fed O'Neal Jr. continuously.

This guy has expressed his sluggishness against the strong team many times before, but the Pacers still need him to stand up.

Xiao Ao faces big book...

Also, O'Neal is named O'Neal. O'Neal Jr. does not have the tough inside bulldozer attack as strong as O'Neal, so he can only rely on skills.

You know, the small inside lineman like Ben Wallace with a two-meter-long size, he is least afraid of is the skilled center, and the one he is best at dealing with is also the skilled opponent. What he is afraid of is a monster like O'Neal, Garnett, and Duncan who relies on his talent to do whatever he wants. All inside offensive skills are based on the word confrontation.

Xiao Ao's confrontation did not outperform Wallace, and his attack had serious problems.

In the first six minutes of the first quarter, O'Neal Jr. attacked with the ball four times and gained absolute control 5 times, but he took 4 shots and scored only once. Another time he had no confidence in his attack, and was beaten for three seconds before passing the ball.

After seven minutes of the first quarter, Xie Hou inspired his teammates to fail and O'Neal Jr. once again exposed his shortcomings in the face of a strong team's ineffective attack.

Fortunately, the Pacers' own defense is also doing well. Although they are behind, they don't lose much.

In the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals, both sides have already made the game a typical Eastern Conference playoffs.

Within seven minutes, the score was 13 to 9.

The Pistons led by 4 points, and O'Neal Jr. made consecutive misses in the offense. If it weren't for the two assisting monsters, Xie Hou and Kirilianko, actively retreating, and the Pistons' athletic talent was indeed not so meaningful, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Claire has always been a steady coach, good at strategizing and short of adapting to changes. Now the situation forces him to make changes.

Therefore, the walker called out a second pause.

Only 7 minutes after the game, Claire had used up two timeouts.

"Arthur, you don't have to open the situation from the inside, our outside is as outstanding as we do." Claire focused on setting up the three-pointers on the outside.

Although the Pistons do not play in the defense, the Pacers lack a stable shooter. If Miller does not open it, Xie Hou will find it difficult to break through (this is what Claire thinks). Only when the shooter pulls the space, Xie Hou can show off his strength. As now, the pressure on the ball is too strong, and he has to pay attention to the defense, which consumes a lot of physical strength.

After Claire finished setting up the arrangement, he immediately made a substitution adjustment.

O'Neal, who was not attacking, was replaced by Jeff Foster.

A second-team star like Xiao Ao, the team's blocking king and the second attacker, hit a stage like the Eastern Conference Finals. He was replaced in just seven minutes in the first quarter because of his poor performance. It sounds really bad to say it.

Seeing the Pacers' substitution, McGuinness smiled and joked: "It seems that even Coach Claire can't stand Jermaine's 'stable' performance against the strong team."

"I like Jermaine very much, and his assisted defense is crucial to the Pacers."

Usually when we want to blackmail a person, we will adopt the rhetorical method of first promoting and then suppressing.

Bobby Leonard paused, "But Jayme's performance against a strong team is always disappointing, and he really needs to be calm." Leonard Oil is particularly good at this.

Xie Hou found that the Piston had also been replaced.

Prince and Anthony replaced Williamson and Hamilton.

Williamson's figure caused quite a lot of trouble to the walkers. His problem was that his speed was too slow and he was easily passed by one step.

Larry Brown considered it comprehensively, Prince is still suitable.

It would be simple to play Anthony. The few counterattack opportunities given by O'Neal just now were, if Anthony was present, they would definitely be able to play. If those counterattacks were successfully completed, the current score difference would be more than just 4 points.

Hamilton is the second position most suitable for "Larryism". The times are developing, and traditional retro second position like Mask Man will only be fewer and fewer, while tall and talented all-round swing talents like Anthony are the mainstream of the future.

Brown is a scheming person who doesn't care about what basketball will look like in the future. Anthony's performance in the semi-finals made him recognize the rookie's offensive ability (only offensive ability), so now he has a chance.

Xie Hou controlled the ball at the top of the arc, and he saw Miller start from the bottom corner, taking the pick-and-roll and trying to cross the basket.

However, Billups suddenly switched defense with Anthony. He was shorter in size and had extremely rich experience. He first fought against Miller-strong. He knew that he could not stop this god-like shooter from running out of the basket and was only concerned about chasing from behind.

Rashid, standing in the paint area, stretched out his long arm to prevent Xie Hou from passing the ball in the most comfortable position.

Miller had to take a few more steps until he got the ball at the upper right position of the paint area. Billups behind him added defense in an instant, and Rashid also put pressure on him. His ball-holding ability does not allow him to hit the double-handed ball hard. As a non-ball-holding number two position, he cannot pass the ball out in such a situation.

Miller kept dribbling backwards, and he could not get rid of the defense, nor could he find his teammates in the open, so he had to take the risk.

The piston locked him.

"Bang!"

Wallace protected the rebound and handed it to Billups. Anthony had run through half the game. This time, the Pistons' counterattack would be completely different.

The young Anthony was excited about the opportunity he got tonight. He knew that he had finally entered the head coach's sight. He worked so hard that he played games that he was not used to just to get a chance to play.

He wants to prove that even in such a strong team, he can gain a foothold and become the core player that everyone can rely on, just like he did at Syracuse University.

"It's beautifully spread!"

Billups' pass was never fancy, he led the ball with the ball and brought Anthony to the frontcourt, and Kirilenko flew to block the block.

He underestimated the talent of Tanhualang in 03. This air showdown ended with the Russian foul and the dunk of the counterattack.

"Excellent counterattack 21!" Leonard looked at Anthony with envy, "We have Arthur, the Pistons and Cameron, and the two top-notch teams in the Eastern Conference have obtained future superstars who are enough to be core players at the same time!"

Anthony did not concede the free throw because he was too excited. He did not rush to make the free throw, but stabilized his mood first.

Control your breath, aim, stabilize your posture, and take action.

16 to 9

"The Pacers need to think of a way! They have to score!"

Yes, points must be scored.

"That guy looks like a bear." Kirilenko commented on Anthony as he served.

Called "like-headed bear" by the Russians, although it has exaggerated elements, it can also be seen that Anthony's figure is really strong.

There are few rookies who have such a good body at his age.

Xie Hou is thinking about scoring and scoring now.

Although Prince's long arms are good, they are not as visually impactful as Williamson's steel body.

Prince's figure advantage allows him to defend against shots and attacks, and he can still interfere with his arm span if he can't keep up.

When faced with Prince, Xie Hou's back hit will be automatically activated.

At the high position, Xie Hou did something that shocked the audience.

"Arthur beats Tayshaun on his back!"

"The location is too far, it's not a good idea to play back here!"

The commentator was talking about whether this decision was good. Xie Hou's back blasted Prince's defense like a heavy gun that opened fire.

Her extremely strong figure made Xie Hou beat Prince on his back and gave him a sense of being like an adult beating a child.

The moment the Little Prince's defense broke, the Pistons' double Wallace appeared at the same time, but it was difficult for Xie Hou to hold the ball and scored a score.

11 to 16

The Pistons' defense made the Pacers lose their usual calmness, and Xie Hou's misalignment advantage as a ball holder also gave the Pistons a headache.

Let Williamson take the defense and he can pass it in one step.

Let Prince defend, the back attack just now will be the end.

It's really too rough, Brown is worried that Prince will be beaten.

He has a height of 204 cm, a wingspan of 224 cm, a weight of 102 kg, a defender, and a back-to-back like O'Neal (half-praise and half-criticism), and has outstanding athletic ability and outstanding vision.

The above factors are concentrated on one person, which is the current Xie Hou.

He became a nearly unsolvable misaligned attacking machine.

The shock brought by Xie Hou made the piston panic.

The Pacers' coaching staff is not that optimistic. Everyone knows Xie Hou's weaknesses, which are on the surface. However, he is so outstanding that people can forget these things.

But, if you forget, doesn’t it exist?

No, weaknesses still exist and may be exposed at any time.

"It's been 8 minutes, so high intensity, he needs a rest," said Bain Ruth.

Claire nodded slightly. Maybe Xie Hou would cause the Pacers to be beaten, but if Xie Hou was exhausted and beaten by the Pistons, the Pacers who had Xie Hou would have a greater impact on the players.
