Chapter 392 Whose Blood Flows with Madness?

Curry's taunting effect was outstanding, but in fact even if he didn't say it, all the Pistons' offensive and defensive tactics still focused on Li Shengli, and with the roar of the Palace of Auburn Hills, the game finally began.

During the midfield jump ball, Li Shengli still gave the Mavericks a chance to attack. Pistons center Miller just tiptoed and ran away. This detail did not attract everyone's attention. The Mavericks pressed into the frontcourt. , Kidd organized the offense with the ball from the outside.

Speaking of which, Kidd's level as a point guard is getting better and better. This is the result of half a season. The cooperation between Shan Shuo and Li Shengli has also formed an initial tacit understanding. The offense of the Mavericks' regular lineup is very simple, especially When playing against non-core teams, that is...try every means to find a suitable opportunity to give the ball to Li Shengli as the focus of the first attack.

Of course, it's not just the Mavericks, but also typical core teams such as the Magic, Spurs, Rockets, and Knicks. This simple tactic can maximize the attack power and deterrence of the super center. Either the opponent double-teams or their own Distribute the ball to the strong side to hit the weak side, or the opponent chooses to defend alone, waiting to be exploded.

The problem goes back to the beginning.

Kidd's pass to Li Shengli requires the right timing, but the Pistons, the core team in the league, are also clear in their basic tactics, so the defense at the beginning has a clear focus. Miller went around crazily to defend Li Shengli, and the defense of others was in place. He also always relies on the connection between Kidd and Li Shengli to create steals.

Can forward defense be useful?

Unfortunately, Miller's detour was really useful, because Li Shengli was surprised to find that...this fat Miller gained a lot of weight while riding the horse. He was so fat that he was surprised. The weight of the tonnage directly replaced part of the strength to fight, even if It was okay for him to want to squeeze Fat Miller away, but it was obviously inappropriate to waste him like this.

Fat Miller, didn’t you lose weight?

Why are you still losing weight and getting fatter? I guess there are really few people in the league who can compete with this product now that they are really fighting for tonnage, right?

Li Shengli was speechless. You must know that Miller's height is only 206, but now it seems that this guy is estimated to have reached 320 pounds, which is about 145 kilograms. He is the densest player now, but he still looks at it. When it comes to muscles, the whole horse is fat. If you have to describe the image of this guy, it would be... a fat head, big ears, and a fat belly.

It’s true that gaining weight can improve resistance, but if you gain such weight while riding a horse, will you be able to run and jump high? Even if you jump, can your ankles and knees bear it? !

Too much is too much, Fat Miller is quite undisciplined, and the bitter consequence is that he can't jump too high, and even the latest extreme height data can't even touch the basket. He can only watch Kidd's bold lob pass. There was nothing he could do about Li Shengli's face-to-basket shooting, allowing the Mavericks to score the first goal.

…

Offense and defense change sides.

The Pistons' offense has no bright spots. Because of Fat Miller, the entire team is a model of positional warfare. Positional warfare is just a nice way of saying it, but a bad thing is that it moves too slowly.

"Going in, be careful Hill!"

"Don't mess around, keep an eye on your own people!"

"Leave this to me."

Jones shouted from the outside, and Grant Hill, who was facing him, had already broken through the first blockade and headed inside. The Mavericks generals completed the exchange in an instant, and Li Shengli jumped out to cover the defense.

In past games, few people dared to hit the penalty area with Li Shengli in it. Although Hill was fast, he was also flustered when he saw Li Shengli. It was just that he had a plan in mind when he started the ball, and he made a layup. It quickly turned into a pass, passing from Li Shengli's waist to Fat Miller, who shot the ball without tiptoeing, just like a free throw.

This horse riding is... a stance output?

Li Shengli was really speechless, because Fat Miller didn't move at all from the time when the offense was established to Hill's breakthrough. He didn't even bother to jump in the mid-range shot, and he actually scored it.

What about defense?

Why not make up for it?

Isn't this a one-size-fits-all approach?

Several people glanced at their teammate Terry Davis at the fourth position, but Terry could not be blamed for this. After all, the distance between him and Terry Mills was far away, and it was too late to make up for the defense. .

…

As for the mutual attacks in the first quarter, I can only say that it was... very weird.

When the Mavericks attacked, the Pistons did not adopt a double-team strategy for Li Shengli, or a soft double-team. They gave the front to Fat Miller's weight, and Terry Mills behind him acted as the last line of defense, preventing Li Shengli from getting close to the basket. , just let him make the shot.

Do you want to try my hand?

Since Li Shengli was annoyed by Phil Jackson's impromptu slashing tactics against the Bulls, in addition to physical training and other things, the focus has been on strengthening shooting practice. Before arriving in Detroit to prepare for the game, he only practiced shooting, which made this The field felt very hot, hitting 8 of 10 in the first quarter.

Taking 10 shots in a single quarter is an exaggeration, as is 8 of 10 in a single quarter. It has to be said that Pistons head coach Don Cheney made a miscalculation, and letting Li Shengli go was the biggest mistake.

Fortunately...the Mavericks' offense was brutal, but the Pistons' offense did not collapse.

Unlike the Mavericks' offense, which relied heavily on Li Shengli, the Pistons' scoring data was very average. What must be said is that Hill's performance was too eye-catching and became the Pistons' offensive organizer. He first used pick-and-rolls to attack the penalty area. As long as Li Shengli made up The defense chooses to distribute the ball quickly, but the distribution ball is always stuck at the last moment of the shot, either allowing Fat Miller to output from the stance, or allowing Dumas from the outside to take the shot.

It's impossible not to defend. Kidd can't match Hill's aggressiveness, but this guy also has the ability to assist, which is more troublesome. Terry Mills on the other side has a long distance, allowing the Mavericks to It's difficult for Terry Davis to participate in interior defense.

…

At 33:28 in the first quarter, the reason is that Li Shengli is too stable. Although Fat Miller cannot participate in the rebounding competition, this guy relies on his weight to block positions and create opportunities for his teammates. This data does not lose to the Mavericks. .

In the second quarter, the tactics of both sides still did not change significantly. The Mavericks were leading and there was no need to change the formation. The Pistons' tactics also produced the expected results. The only difficulty was to suppress Li Shengli, so Tang Che in the second quarter Ni had no choice but to double-team.

However... the effect of the Pistons' double-teaming was not satisfactory, and it only moved the Mavericks' shooting point to other positions. Not only Curry, but also Kidd, who had been neglecting offense, also became more powerful and became the two muskets on the outside of the Mavericks. , once again suppressed the opponent, making the score in the second quarter 25:22.

Leading by 8 points at halftime is not a big advantage, but it is true that the Mavericks have been suppressing the Pistons, but the hostility inherited from the city of Detroit finally broke out in the second half, not only the fans of the Palace of Auburn Hills, but also the Pistons players present. , even the referee team of this game had problems.

The outside line moved several times to pick and roll, and illegal screens were not called. I won’t mention this because it is controversial, and the physical combat inside has become more and more uncivilized, especially the confrontation at the fourth position. The Pistons’ Terry Mills offense actually arrived. The level of direct upper leg kick.

Do the Pistons really want to win?

That’s obviously true!

To be honest, it's hard to define the referee's black whistle. Unless it's too much and continuous black calls, you can always find an excuse to make excuses. And the Pistons' home referees are not that stupid. The scale has expanded to an exaggerated degree.

To say black is not black.

After all, the referee had the same penalty for the Mavericks, but what was embarrassing was... The Dallas Mavericks, which had been silent for a long time, did not have a trace of madness in its blood. The whole scene was like the Mavericks being bullied by the Pistons. Same.

…

It’s okay for Curry to face off against Dumas. After all, Dumars is a really good guy. It’s okay for Li Shengli to face off against Miller. Even if Don Cheney asks Miller to do it, Miller will have to think about himself, but the other three This location... is really a bit miserable.

First, Jones faced off against Hill.

When the scale of the whistle was exaggerated, Jones was beaten to pieces and was completely unable to defend Hill.

Then there's the matchup between Kidd and Alan Houston.

Kidd's defensive awareness is very good, but he can't stand up to his lack of game experience due to his rookie status. When the scale of the whistle was exaggerated, his whole body hurt when he was fouled by Alan Houston. If it weren't for Hill, a competitor, he wouldn't even think about it. Lying on the floor and calling for a stretcher.

The worst thing is Terry Davis.

He faced off against Terry Mills of the Pistons. Although they were both called Terry, Terry Davis of the Mavericks was really not tough enough. He was kicked twice in the legs by Mills. This situation also made Mills became more and more arrogant, his hands and feet were unclean, and his mouth became unclean.
