Chapter 962 961. Probably the Best Point Guard

Iguodala's free throws were similar to those of James and Wade, and they were all so hard to describe. The free throws were not successful.

Bosh was brave after knowing his shame. The Detroit Big Hammer roared and grabbed the rebound.

Liu Mang immediately attacked the rebound but didn't grab it. He immediately went back to defense. When he went back to defense, he picked his ears. Are the players trained by Coach Sanders so loud?

There was a chance to counterattack, but the Pistons didn't dare to counterattack. When Ben Wallace and Billups were partners, they suppressed the rhythm on the one hand, and on the other hand, the opponent's counterattack was very strong.

After Billups received the ball from Bosh and advanced to the frontcourt, he felt heavy in his heart. In the previous round, the Hawks used Liu Mang's speed to crack their offensive tactics from the source!

He couldn't pass the ball to Bosh who was around the free throw line, and the subsequent tactics couldn't be played!

In this case, Billups, who is very stable in organizing offense, decided not to play such complicated tactics. When he reached the three-point line, he suddenly stopped, grabbed the ball and jumped up, and shot a three-pointer!

Too wasteful!

Even Liu Mang did not expect the opponent to be so wasteful. He rushed over immediately, but it was too late. Billups' three-pointer flew over Liu Mang's head and hit the basket with a "clang".

Not only Liu Mang did not expect the opponent to be so wasteful, but everyone on the Hawks did not expect it. Ben Wallace grabbed the offensive rebound without dribbling after landing!

Mourning came back to his senses and slapped the ball raised by Ben Wallace!

Mourning angrily blocked Ben Wallace!

Bosh actively grabbed the ball, and threw the ball into the basket in another second attack after the second attack.

Mourning had no choice, Bosh softly threw the ball into the basket.

So wasteful!

The fans at the scene saw that Billups' shooting style was even more reckless than Liu Mang and Jason Terry's!

Liu Mang and Jason Terry at least find the rhythm before shooting recklessly, but Billups really shoots raw!

Charles Barkley of T.N.T said that Liu Mang is more suitable to be the ball-control core of the Pistons than Billups. The Pistons players are already used to Billups' style of play, but Billups' shooting is unstable. When replaced by the stable Liu Mang, he can take off.

Although this was Barkley's deliberate words to embarrass Liu Mang and was criticized by Hawks fans, it is really the case now. The reaction of the Pistons' inside players is also fast enough.

Billups retreated immediately after throwing the ball. He is so mature and steady.

"Ding... Characteristics: Triggered by perseverance, mature, stable, and tenacious qualities. No matter what crisis occurs, he will not give up in the face of any powerful opponent. His tenacious character gives him the ability to control the field like a coach, and his calm and steady control ability can compete with all powerful enemies. From Chauncey Billups."

Billups' sudden move almost flashed Liu Mang's waist.

The system's sudden prompt made Liu Mang want to hit someone.

This is called mature, stable, and tenacious qualities?

Then I am the most reasonable player in the world!

Too ridiculous!

After receiving the serve, Liu Mang controlled the rhythm and could not be led astray by Billups.

For the first time, Liu Mang felt that his playing style was so stable and down-to-earth. After reaching the frontcourt, he found that the opponent's defense had also changed.

Billups came to the top arc to defend Liu Mang, Hamilton followed Iguodala to defend the air cut, Delfino defended Jason Terry's receiving the ball and shooting, and Bosh defended Rasheed Wallace's off-ball baseline movement.

Liu Mang arrived at the front court, and Billups immediately followed him.

Liu Mang was followed by Billups, and he wanted to use his strongest first step but had no space to start. He waved to Iguodala to come out and receive the ball, and then Liu Mang stood at a 45-degree angle on the left and asked Iguodala for the ball again.

Billups stuck closely behind Liu Mang, but couldn't push him!

After Liu Mang received the ball, he leaned on Billups, grabbed the ball with one hand, tilted his body forward, and made a gesture to turn around and shoot. Billups immediately pressed forward to prevent Liu Mang from turning over and jumping from a high position.

Liu Mang turned 180 degrees with his left foot as the axis, and at the same time slapped the ball to the left and rear, turned half a circle next to Billups, and rushed into the middle!

Billups had no choice but to defend. The reason why Jordan, Kobe, and Nowitzki's turnaround jump shot or turnaround jump shot after high post is not only accurate, but also because the opponents are afraid of them turning around and cutting in, so they dare not stick so close, so there is enough space for turning. However, Liu Mang's shooting threat is greater than his breakthrough. Billups is not bad at defense, but his defensive judgment is too good, so he always seems to be beaten. Although he is a good defender, the fans have no sense of defense, but he has always received good votes in the best defensive lineup selected by the coach.

Seeing Liu Mang rushing in, Ben Wallace hurried out to block Liu Mang. Liu Mang was very disappointed. Ben Wallace's blocking speed was much faster than other centers, and he couldn't even help with assists.

Not only that, Ben Wallace also blocked Liu Mang's space to pass inside!

At this time, Iguodala made a timely cut when Liu Mang turned around. Mourning, an old man, knew that Liu Mang's perspective was blocked, so he pulled to the right side of the basket to help Iguodala block Hamilton who was chasing him.

Seeing that he was being double-teamed, Liu Mang chose to rush directly into Ben Wallace's arms, not giving Ben Wallace a chance to return to the inside, and threw the ball into the air!

Iguodala rushed into the inside and saw that the ball was passed too high!

The fans also felt that the pass was a little too high, and they felt that they were about to make a mistake. Faced with the trust of the boss, Iguodala took off with all his strength!

Touched the ball!

He couldn't hold it firmly, but Iguodala tried his best to push the ball toward the basket...

With great luck, the ball hit the backboard and bounced into the basket!

When Liu Mang passed out, he felt that it was too powerful, but it actually went in!

Liu Mang breathed a sigh of relief. On the surface, he had an expression of "I expected it all." He ignored Iguodala's high-five of encouragement and turned back to defend.

But... Iguodala was not embarrassed. Mourning thought he was asking for a high-five, so he went up and patted him.

Compared to a guy who keeps shooting after getting the ball, Iguodala, a rookie with a high draft pick, top physical fitness, good skills, and who loves passing and defense more than shooting, is more loved by his teammates and has great popularity. .

21 to 17, the Eagles still lead by 4 points.

But...Billups slowly advanced to the frontcourt. As he advanced, he waited for his teammates to get into position. When he reached the three-point line, he shot directly again!

"Again!"

Liu Mang made a timely defense this time, but Billups quickly shot a three-pointer. Liu Mang's interference only forced Billups to lean back a little, and Billups continued to shoot three-pointers...

I got it this time!

20 to 21, the point difference was narrowed to 1 point by the Pistons!

When the Hawks attacked, Liu Mang handed the ball to Iguodala. Without the ball, he ran to the left side of the free throw line and continued to rely on Billups to ask for the ball. Iguodala immediately passed the ball to Liu Mang, and Liu Mang After receiving the ball, Delfino, who was originally guarding Jason Terry, double-teamed Liu Mang!

good chance! Liu Mang turned around and took off, forcing Billups and Delfino to jump. He passed the ball to Jason Terry in the left corner. Jason Terry received the ball and shot a three-pointer. …

I can't afford to hurt my teammates who are not accurate in single three-pointers in the open three-pointer. It's a perfect three-pointer in a wide open space. Ben Wallace is stuck in position. Hamilton grabs the defensive rebound, protects the ball, and waits for the Eagles to retreat. Behind the defense, pass the ball to Billups.

The Pistons' offensive end suddenly became simpler, which was a signal of the Pistons' offensive changes. After Billups arrived in the frontcourt, Liu Mang didn't dare to give him any space. This guy is too wasteful!

Liu Mang stepped on the three-point line and stuck to Billups. At this time, the Eagles players were preparing to grab rebounds. Suddenly, Billups passed the ball to Hamilton who ran to the left mid-range.

Hamilton failed to completely get rid of Iguodala. The Pistons only ran for 12 seconds this time, but they had already passed the ball to the end point. Hamilton received the ball without hesitation, turned around, and shot from mid-range...

bingo!

22 to 21! The Pistons lead by 1 point!

The Pistons suddenly strengthened their decisiveness in positional shooting, which was so unexpected!

If the regular season match against the Pistons still had a hint of last season's old-fashioned style of play, then in the playoffs, after the Pistons played the 76ers and the Magic twice in a six-game series, they faced the same opponents consecutively. After playing six games, fully adjusting the tactics and making more detailed adjustments to the rhythm, the new Pistons team has truly taken shape!

There is no rigid strategy, but to give full play to Billups' characteristics of playing the right role when he has the right teammates!

This is the real effect of Billups' "Characteristic: Yi Zhong" that Liu Mang's system showed Liu Mang!

It's not like when Billups was forced to be an "offensive coach" when Larry Brown was here. Coach Sanders used the team system to help Billups and let Billups give full play to himself. specialty!

Billups changed the Pistons' rhythm into one he liked, guarding the team's bottom line - while defending, he strengthened his offensive determination, decisiveness in shooting, and used his three-point ability and Hamilton's catching ability Shooting ability.

Billups, like Liu Mang, knows one thing very well. In the playoffs, you can't completely get rid of the defense, so any chance is an opportunity. You must be decisive. The Eagles can also create more opportunities by off-ball offense. , but only three of the Pistons can score, so they must be more decisive!

The Pistons felt very good today. Billups' three-pointer, Hamilton's jump shot that turned around to face the defense, and Bosh's open shot and air cut after Hamilton attracted a double-team were once again successful!

Not to be outdone, the Eagles used Liu Mang's singles to score points. At the end of the first quarter, the two teams were tied at 32!

The Pistons used Bosh's three-pointer to tie the score before the end of the first quarter!
