Chapter 182
Chapter 182
Enemies meet, Ratliff and Ben Wallace come to the middle of the court to jump the ball with red eyes.
Let alone the last time the two received several punches from each other and their faces were disfigured, let’s say that as the best defensive player of the season, Ben Wallace, Mutombo, Ratliff, among the three When the two of them meet each other, they always have to go shopping.
As early as 1998 and 1999, Ratliff was selected to the second team of the All-Defensive Team. Last season, Ratliff was the leader in blocked shots. This year, Ratliff will almost occupy this honor, ranking second in the list of blocked shots. Yes, it is Ben Wallace. Apart from the fact that the two teams are direct competitors, the same is true in terms of personal honor!
The Eagles still sent their regular starting five tigers.
The Pistons also continued to send Chucky Atkins, Michael Curry, Jerry Stockhouse, Clifford Robinson and Ben Wallace.
The lineup of the Pistons, except for the small forward Stackhouse, is all defensive champions with poor scoring ability. Coach Carlisle likes egalitarianism. Hands, he also likes them, but when he doesn't have them, he can also do a good job on the offensive end.
Nearly half a season has passed. The Pistons have perfected their style of play, lineup stability, etc. this season, and their statistics have basically been finalized. They averaged 93 points per game and conceded 90 points per game. They are not bad on offense. On the basis of maintaining the top three defensive efficiency in the league, only the Heat and the Lakers have higher defensive efficiency than the Pistons, and even the Spurs can only rank fourth.
As the whistle blew, Ben Wallace leaped high to win the jump ball over Ratliff, giving the Pistons the lead.
The field of Big Ben enveloped the field, and the tempo of both sides dropped crazily.
Pistons players slowly overwhelmed the audience, and that rhythm was called a slow one.
Stackhouse pushed forward. To be honest, he doesn't like this rhythm. His statistics and performance are far lower than last season, but if he can win, then let's play like this.
By the time Stackhouse got beyond the three-point line, the time had already taken about ten seconds.
If you follow Stackhouse's style of play last season, just rush in and let him shoot 3721 directly, but not now, if he makes wild shots, he will be put on the bench. Last season, he averaged 42 The minute playing time is third in the league. This season, he only averaged 34 minutes per game. He was forcibly corrected by Coach Carlisle and became a player averaging 20+5+5 per game. His rebounds and assists set new career highs!
Coach Carlisle's Pistons and Larry Brown's Pistons are both defensive teams, but there is still a little difference. Larry Brown likes to defend, but he is also happy to have an Iverson or Hamilton who just catch the ball and do it As a scorer, he said he didn't understand the offensive end, so he let the players fight by themselves.
Coach Carlisle prefers teamwork to play pick-and-rolls, which to a certain extent curbs the rhythm suppression of his own center.
The Pistons started the game with a high post. With 10 seconds left on the shot clock, the Pistons started running. Stackhouse passed the ball to Michael Curry. Michael Curry held the ball at the top of the key. Jerry -Stackhouse quickly slipped the baseline and took Clifford Robinson's off-ball pick-and-roll to take away Muhammad's defense and circled to a 45-degree angle to open up space. The Eagles shifted their attention to the upper line. Chucky Atkin Si turned and rushed towards the basket.
Michael Curry made a counter-tune and threw the ball in. Chucky Atkins took the ball and raised his hand under the basket and made a fake move, which made Ratliff pounce on Chucky Atkins, the little guy. The killer is scary no matter what era it is. Only 180 Chucky Atkins can average only 5 points per game and still sit firmly in the starting position for many years, relying on his ability to tear apart defenses.
Clifford Robinson on the outside followed from behind, Chucky Atkins passed the ball to Clifford Robinson, and Clifford Robinson scored two points with an easy throw.
The Pistons retreated like a tide after scoring a goal, fast and balanced. Clifford Robinson, a 36-year-old veteran, and Ben Wallace, a short center, both run extremely fast and have excellent defensive discipline. Larry Brown took over and laid a solid foundation. If Larry Brown came to the Pistons to win the championship, the credit of Coach Carlisle, the sad predecessor, is indispensable. It took two years to build a perfect defensive system. Others picked up ready-made.
The Eagles came over with the ball, Jason Terry just passed halftime, Michael Curry mentioned that Jason Terry was pressed outside, and Chucky Atkins on this side interfered with Raheem receiving the ball, Jason- There was no way Terry could pass the ball to Raheem as he was used to.
The Pistons suppressed the rhythm of the field intentionally or unintentionally, using various methods to suppress the offensive rhythm of the Eagles by going around the front and switching defenses. As for their own offensive rhythm, it only takes time.
Neither the pick-and-roll nor the running position can create easy scoring for teammates or create space for Raheem to one-on-one. miss.
All you need is to play fast! The rhythm the Hawks want is the exact opposite of what the Pistons are looking for.
Pistons come over, Michael Curry passes to Chucky Atkins, Chucky Atkins takes the ball, looks up, Raheem is already on the defensive, Chucky Atkins Although he is short, he has strong confrontation ability and strength. Raheem sticks up and makes physical contact with Chucky Atkins. Chucky Atkins comes over and collides with Raheem. Chucky -Atkins bumped into Raheem, but he staggered and lost his balance. The meat-and-egg impact of the small steel cannon was enough to meet Raheem, and the time was almost exhausted. Pass it to Stackhall Ratliff took the backcourt rebound and threw it to Jason Terry immediately. Jason Terry counterattacked quickly with the ball and quickly switched offense and defense. With the piston that quickly returns to defense, it rushes up.
This time the Eagles broke through the slow-paced defensive system built by Ben Wallace in the field of Big Ben, but it was still a bit short. He rushed to the inside of the Pistons alone, but he had no teammates to respond, so he had no choice but to withdraw by himself. Come on, wait for your teammates to be in place and then slowly set up positions.
The two teams are exhausted like this!
Most of the players on the two teams are defensive. The Pistons have a double best defensive lineup inside. Ben Wallace is the number one favorite for the best defensive player. Clifford Robinson is 36. Defensive efficiency and role are second only to Duncan, Garnett, and Doug Gristie, and are the favorites of the second team of the best defense. Except for Coach Carlisle, who has been dissatisfied with Stackhouse's defense on the outside, he is a bit weaker. Shorter Chucky Atkins and Michael Curry are both above-average defenders, and they're great in a system built around Ben Wallace.
For the Eagles, Ratliff is the leader in blocked shots, the top three defensive center in the league, Muhammad has excellent defensive awareness and dares to fight hard, and Rahim is also a small forward with excellent offense and defense, even rebounds, blocks, and steals. The tall players in the team have the same iron barrel on the inside, and they are also a little worse on the outside, but it doesn't matter. The Pistons' outside shooting is also not good. If there is Hamilton and Billups, they will take off immediately.
The inside lines of the two teams were made like iron barrels, and no one could penetrate them. Ratliff and Ben Wallace came in one by one, or both sides were slowly grinding.
The fans of the Pistons watched lively, and more than 10 million fans in front of the TV began to doze off, but after spending money, most of them still watched patiently.
Didn't the Eagles still have a wave ratio? If you watch the game, Rahim can't play inside. The highlight of the Eagles is the double waves in the backcourt!
Finally, after playing for more than eight minutes, the two teams drew a score of 10 to 8, and the referee took advantage of a dead ball that finally came and called an official timeout.
In the scene where Coach Kruger was numbly watching Liu Mang take off his training uniform and try his hand without saying hello, the fans in front of the TV finally wept with joy. Except for the Atlanta fans, it was the first time that other people felt that this rookie was so good. Pleasing to the eye!
