Chapter 126
Billups took the ball to the frontcourt and didn't rush to attack.
He is a man, if he is asked to play fast break, he may not be able to. ——In the draft, he was selected by the Celtics who were eager to revive. The head coach at the time was Rick Pitino, who advocated fast offense and free play.
Become the absolute core of the team and have the right to handle everything on the field independently.
If it's Steve Nash and Jason Kidd, absolutely ecstatic.
But Billups lost himself in the face of the "temptation of power". He wanted to play on the field but didn't want to play by himself. He thought he could pass the ball, but he also felt that he could actually shoot the ball...
The hat of "parallel importer" was soon worn on his head with his poor performance.
He later went to the Timberwolves, where he got steady playing time and had a mentor and friend, Trier Brandon.
This is a traditional No. [-] with two All-Star appearances.
Following behind this old arena, Billups gradually found a balance in personal offense and organizing teams.
It has also formed a style of play that is now self-contained.
A "one-size-fits-all" No. [-] position that combines offense and defense, bonds the team, and can play with or without the ball.
It may not have very good scoring explosive power, but if you want to suppress Billups' team in the rhythm of the game, it is almost impossible.
Just like now, the Magic are going to start.
Billups immediately pressed the rhythm, and commanded the team to move and place without arrogance or rashness.
The attack time was delayed until 14 seconds left before he handed over the ball.
Hamilton circled a tactical cover specially formulated for him by the Pistons on the right side, received the ball smoothly, and failed to deceive Bogans with his shooting fakes, so he continued to transfer the ball.
Following behind his ass, Prince moved beyond the three-point line to catch the ball, "catapult" shooting posture, and threw the ball.
Turkoglu was one step too late and watched the ball fall into the basket.
8-5!
In terms of style, what Turkoglu is least good at defending is Prince's off-ball wing.
He prefers fist-to-flesh romance.
The Magic still had no brains to hit Turkoglu. The "Turkish agent" noticed that Rasheed Wallace on the opposite side didn't make it up in time this time.
As for McDyess, he was pulled beyond the three-point line by Lewis, and the two went to "grind tofu".
He walked inside against Prince, then turned around immediately, took a step in, and completed the dunk with one hand.
The posture is a bit like "the old man pastes the skylight".
But it's a good goal.
7-8.
Returning to the defensive end again, the Magic's entire perimeter is getting more and more adapted to the Pistons' offensive rhythm.
This is also a relatively obvious shortcoming of Billups.
He can quickly find the most suitable offensive method according to the team's daily training routine.
But only in these few sets.
It's a bit of a stretch to expect him to send unconstrained and imaginative passes.
Seeing that there were no good opportunities, Billups didn't stick to the ball, and quickly handed it to Rasheed Wallace who took the ball from the high post on the left.
The Pistons glue the team together like the Magic, with two...
Billups can't do it, and there is "Roaring Tianzun".
Standing against Howard, observing the running position of his teammates, as soon as the air-cut Hamilton came in front of him, he quickly hit the ball on the ground and gave it very accurately to the front.
"Mask Man" made an unremarkable empty cut layup.
I have been with "Boss Joe" for two years. Although I haven't developed the ability to hold the ball, it's a piece of cake to cut layups or anything.
It was just served on the table and the ball just left the hand.
A "Tigger" appeared out of thin air, slapped the ball away, and turned the table over.
coming!
Howard's iconic "volleyball cap".
Director Zhang said "Ouch": "This Howard!"
Hamilton also felt like he was playing basketball with the Hulk.
This monster!
Turkoglu took the ball from Howard's fan and controlled it twice. He didn't rush to break fast, but...
Observed!
When he saw that the person running in the front was Li Wan, he shook his little hand, and the ball fell in front of Li Wan's eyes. He just held it like this, ran two steps forward, and completed the split with one hand.
9-8!
The score overtakes.
When Li Wan returned to the defense, he pointed at Turkoglu from a distance.
"Positioning forwards" are probably tall, long arms, strong, good vision, and generally have a very good super long-distance passing ability.
Turks are no exception.
Seeing that the opposite side expanded the point difference to 5 points more and more freely, at 8 minutes and 15 seconds into the first quarter, Pistons head coach Philip Sanders called a timeout.
But he didn't make any adjustments, just glanced at each starter, and said lightly; "I think you should be able to feel that this team is different from last year. It's time to show our attitude , let them see why we made it to the Eastern Conference Finals 5 times in a row!"
Although the Pistons have nothing to do with Sanders, but he can pick Larry Brown's "peach", so naturally he has his ability.
He was the head coach of the Timberwolves in the 03-04 season.
When he came to Detroit, he also quickly gained the trust of the players.
Later, Dumas dismantled the "Five Civilian Tigers" and took him out first, and then began to vigorously rectify them.
It can be seen that at this time, his weight in the team.
If he was a woman, he might have all the bank cards of the "Five Tigers of Common People" in his hand by now.
In the first round of the resumption of the game, everyone on the Magic team could feel that the entire offense of the Pistons was smoother than before.
At the end of the first quarter, the Pistons successfully evened the score difference.
28:28.
Looking at the score, Li Wande admitted that the Pistons are indeed difficult to play.
Just now the Magic had already started their momentum, but when they came back from a timeout, their offensive momentum was immediately contained, and at the same time, the defensive end was also pierced by the Pistons' offense.
However, also because of the strength of the opponent here, a tie in the first quarter is acceptable.
Li Wan scored 4 points and 2 assists.
Only shot 2 times.
The flying dunk not only scared Rasheed, but also made the entire Pistons defense need to keep paying attention to him.
In this case, Li Wan simply focused on containment.
Since the Pistons are not an opponent that can be killed with a stick, he must keep his physical fitness at a more critical time.
In the cctv-5 studio, Sun Zhengping looked at the Pistons who were catching up again, and directed to Zhang: "What do you think the Magic should pay attention to next?"
Director Zhang cleared his throat, and said, "I think so! The most important problem for the Magic team to solve now is the problem of offensive and defensive transitions! Why? Look at the opponent, bang bang bang, easily playing easy basket, timing, spacing, energy..."
At first Sun Zhengping pretended to understand Yazi.
In the back, Bengbu was really stuck, and interrupted: "Okay, let's take a look at the award-winning audience in the first quarter!"
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Magic still had Arroyo on their bench, and the only player on the Pistons' bench... was Rodney Stuckey.
Yes, that's the Stuckey who confidently answered "Of course me" when asked "Who is the best rookie between you and Li Wan" in the preseason.
Since entering the regular season, he has gradually disappeared from the media field of vision.
No one thought of it until the playoffs.
It was at this moment when he was on the court that the reporters on the sidelines remembered, oh, this young rookie seems to be in the same class as Li Wan, and had some scolding battles in the preseason.
But that's all, no reporter wants to use this as a gimmick.
With Li Wan's current fame...
Unless Stucky kowtows to recognize him as his father, otherwise, it is impossible to have "rival scenes" with Li Wan.
Li Wan also remembered at this time:
Oh, and Stuckey is on this team too.
To say that he is really against this team, from the rookie Stuckey to the old Wallace have conflicts with him.
Now think about Wallace suddenly firing at himself...
Could it be that he wanted to help his little brother vent his anger?
Ok……
With Wallace's style, it's really not impossible.
But what about him!
Done!
After a year of experience, Stuckey has made some progress. After all, he is the one who was promoted by the Pistons for two years, and he must have some potential.
It's that facing Arroyo, he is somewhat immature.The Magic grabbed a 2-point advantage in the substitute rotation stage.
This is actually not easy. The strength of the Magic's bench is not good. They rarely score during the bench rotation, but they did it in this game against the Pistons.
Sanders gave Starkey a hard look as he stepped off the field.
The main force returned to the field.
The ball belongs to the Pistons.
Billups took control of the ball to the frontcourt, Hamilton made an air cut to the basket on the right and then threw it to the left. Billups made two long breaks.
He is capable of passing assists, averaging 4.2 assists per game in the regular season.
only……
Usually at times like this in the regular season, Hamilton lays up by himself and ends the shot.
This pass, it was Howard's volleyball cap in the first quarter that impressed him.
The point difference was tied again.
30:30.
The Magic still played in the first quarter. Turkoglu held the ball to organize, and the top of the arc was dealt to Li Wan on the wing. Li Wan broke through and scored Howard.
"Warcraft" turned his head and was about to dunk, but Wallace blocked the ball face to face.
This guy's wingspan is much longer than Howard thought.
The ball fell into the hands of Billups, glanced at it from the corner of the eye, and immediately held the ball to face Li Wan and forced a breakthrough.
Billups is a rare "magic ball style" in this era, and he can be understood as the James Harden style of this era.
The main style of play with the ball is based on breakthroughs and shooting outside the three-point line.
However, in this game, he did not bring out his characteristics at all.His figure is considered stronger compared to the others in position 3, but it is not enough to meet Li Wan, who is tall and has a wingspan of [-] and is not weak in confrontation.
Unable to get rid of it, Billups turned around next to Li Wan, turned his head and threw the ball beyond the right three-point line that he had just glimpsed out of the corner of his eye, and Prince's long arm flicked again.
The "catapult" smashed the ball into the basket steadily.
2 three-pointers!
That's not how a player who shoots 36.4 percent from [-]-point range should perform.
It can be seen that Turkoglu made it easier for him to vote tonight.
The Pistons led by 3 points.
Turkoglu shook his head helplessly.
Turning around, he slammed into Prince fiercely. The "little prince" showed his golf intelligence, and when he noticed that he was going to be fierce, he immediately fell to the ground.
Turkoglu offensive foul!
This foul immediately stimulated the nerves of the fans on the scene, and cheers filled the entire arena in an instant.
Prince was pulled up by his teammates.
The big screen at the scene gave a close-up shot.
Focusing like the protagonist, Prince didn't have any expression on his face, as if he didn't do anything, and the cheers at the scene were not because of him.
This is Prince, the Pistons' "Fifth Five Civilian General".
Synonymous with modesty...
so……
During the All-Star Weekend, there is a reason why the "Five Pistons" stayed alone in the "Motor City" to repair cars!
Anyway, you jumped up and down twice!
Look at Wallace, he's still screaming!
No one noticed that Li Wan took advantage of this gap to say something to Bogans next to him. The latter nodded blankly with a look of astonishment.
Apparently what Li Wan said to him again was beyond his comprehension.
But because Li Wan said it, he did it.
The Pistons are attacking, and according to Billups' instructions, the Pistons' running positions are methodical.
The ball was transferred to McDyess, and just about to make a shot, Bogans next to him ran over and slapped him to destroy his shooting action.
McDyess: ???
He could feel that Bogans was here for the foul.
Don't ask, it's their innate intuition for those who are not good at free throws.
he still……
You guessed it right!
What Li Wan told Bogans was to pay attention to McDyess, if he gets the ball, he will foul!
"Wheat Chopping Tactic"!
It is coming!
This is a very strange thing. McDyess, who has a certain shooting ability, is not very good at free throws. He averaged 67.4% per game in his career, and only 63.5% this season...
Such a guy is too suitable to be pulled out to "cut two knives" at this time!
The strength of the Pistons was somewhat beyond Li Wan's expectations.
After the offensive and defensive performance in the first quarter, the second quarter actually increased the strength on both ends of the offense and defense. In these two rounds, the Magic did not score a point, but instead allowed the opponent to score 5 points.
Stan Van Gundy didn't make adjustments, so Li Wan could only do it himself...calling someone to "chop the wheat" to provide Stan Van Gundy with some ideas.
McDyess is also really giving face.
If you dare to "cut me", I dare not enter.
Both free throws bounced off the frame...
Howard received the rebound.
Director Zhang gave a very high evaluation: "The Magic team made money with this foul!"
Stan Van Gundy also had a thoughtful look on his face.
He vaguely seemed to have thought of some tactics!
The Magic's offensive end again.
Li Wan's off-ball movement began to slip to the baseline.
This action is a signal in the daily training of the Magic, which means that Li Wan wants to come out and end this shot.
Stan Van Gundy also emphasized that once the team's situation is not opened, give the ball to Li Wan.
The Magic had failed to make any three offenses before, and now, that's the moment.
Turkoglu and the rest of the Magic should immediately cover the screen and pass the ball.
Billups cleverly ran around the inner circle of the three-point line, which prevented the possibility of Li Wankong cutting and attacking the basket.
Li Wan simply stood outside the three-point line on the right.
At this time, the buffs on him are: the badge of strong heart that increases the effect by 4%, and the +3% status of "Little Prince of Reverse Melancholy".
With his 64 three-point shooting ability and two buffs, he barely reached 69 points, which is almost a starting level of 70 points, which is not bad.
Therefore, after catching the ball, he did not hesitate at all, and pulled up the ball.
The ball played a Chopin's "Nocturne" on the basket, and finally fell into the basket.
Very dangerous!
But in!
The score is tied.
When Lewis returned to defense, he asked if he could give me a chance.
This time he wanted to chop "wheat".
After all, this is his counterpoint.
Li Wan disagreed.
Sorry, you are the core of the offense!
Bogandi nodded in agreement, and pointed at him, the core should have a core sub!
With some luck, McDyess appeared at his shooting spot, and Bogans, who was faster than Cao Cao, rushed in front of him and slapped him again.
"Snapped!"
Needless to say, the degree of crispness!
The key is full of spicy taste!
Bogans slapped twice, and McDyess' hand holding the ball was shaking.
"Boom!"
There was another iron strike.
Stan Van Gundy also seemed to be enlightened. After McDyess made the first free throw, he immediately took off Bogans who had fouled twice and replaced him with Kenyon Dooling.
Although this player is not well-known, but as a veteran he has a wealth of experience... well, he came up to cut the "wheat"!
McDyess was furious.
Take two deep breaths, then shoot the ball.
"Shh!"
in!
For the fourth consecutive free throw, McDyess hit the fourth free throw after missing all the first three shots.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
There were also cheers of encouragement.
Everyone knows how difficult it is to miss the first three free throws and hit the fourth free throw.
For example, Anderson of the Magic in the last era, with a 70% free throw percentage, missed four consecutive free throws.
Not to mention that McDyess is only shooting about 63 percent from the free throw line.
Sun Zhengping said: "This Rasheed Wallace has such a big heart!"
Director Zhang didn't even think about it: "Yes!"
Yu Jia: "????"
Li Wan dribbled the ball to the frontcourt this time, and the flank asked to pull away.
If he missed the last attack, he may still play off the ball to find his status.
But since you entered, you might as well be more confident!
Billups was afraid of his breakthrough, and it wasn't too close, but this old fox was really experienced. Li Wan tricked him many times with his eyes, and this guy didn't move, just staring at him like that.
If you can't cheat, then don't cheat!
Li Wan simply asked Howard to come up with a pick-and-roll, hold the ball and exert force, and successfully bypassed it. Although there was still one step away from the free throw line, Li Wan did not intend to continue to break through, but made a two-point shot.
When he was playing against the Raptors, he tested it, which can also activate the "classical CIC art" badge.
The front two badges were on, and Li Wan's CIC ability of 71 came to around 75.
Rasheed Wallace did not expect Li Wan to make such a decisive move, and the interference caused by his pounce made it easy to ignore the "Classical CIC Art" badge.
Steady hit in the middle distance.
The Magic overtook the score and led by 1 point!
"Hey man, you gotta come up faster...I'm not saying you can guard me!"
"I mean, so that people will say... oh. That number 36 is hard enough!"
Li Wanchao shouted to Wallace to retreat.
There was a little silence at the scene, and it seemed that his voice was a little bit louder.
Stuckey, who was sitting on the bench of the Pistons, had a complicated expression. During the preseason, he and Li Wan were still being compared by the media. After one season, he couldn't even see Li Wan's heels.
On the field, who is "Roaring Tianzun"?Can people point their noses and scold like that?The appearance suddenly became irritable.
As a head coach who knows him very well, Sanders didn't hesitate at all and immediately called a timeout.
The game was stopped by Li Wan!
He scored 5 points in a row, and when he was off the court, he asked his teammates to come over and give him a high five.
Stan Van Gundy also had a flattering smile on his chubby face.
Fragrant!
So delicious!
This new guy is great!
Director Zhang was also in the studio, summarizing the few rounds before the timeout: "In short, it's right to give the ball to Li Wan. The Pistons can't defend him at all!"
Obviously, Li Wan is gradually joining the "reasonable package" directed by Zhang.
But this time, his analysis was fairly impartial.
because……
The coaching staff of the Pistons really couldn't find a way to limit Li Wan.
Before the start of the series, because of Li Wan's outstanding performance in the first round, his breakthrough was the focus of the Pistons coaching team.
It can also be seen from the round just now that after Li Wan bypassed the pick-and-roll, Rasheed Wallace did not post it immediately.
He was afraid that Li Wan would speed up suddenly and pass Rashid in one step.
His mobility is good, but not so good that he can race against defenders.
The jump shot after the pick-and-roll was not common in the past when Li Wan scored with the ball...
But this round, he did score the goal with this trick.
Then the problem is coming...
Next, how to defend Li Wan!
Which aspect to focus on!
Scratching his head, Sanders turned to look at Starkey.
Everyone is a rookie in 07.
You still rank higher than him in the draft.
Why is he so troublesome!
You can't even beat a rotation time?
Starkey pretended to straighten the towels, avoiding the burning stare.
At the same time, I felt a little wronged: They couldn't guard against it, so they blamed me in the end, right?
The Pistons had to focus more defensive attention on him, and the rest of the Magic, who had recovered, took this opportunity to regain their touch and form.
The first half is over.
Turkoglu and others continued to exert force.
The Magic entered the second half with a 48-42, 6-point lead.
Li Wan scored a total of 12 points in the first half, tied with Turkoglu, and was the highest score by the Magic in the first half.
But Turkoglu is very clear that in terms of contribution, he is definitely not as good as Li Wan.
Because of Li Wan's 12 points, at least 8 points were scored when the Magic needed someone to stand up and score. Other times, he was holding back.
In addition, Billups did not play well against him. At the end of the first half, he only scored 6 points. Although he sent 5 assists, he was the second most scored by the Pistons in the regular season, averaging 17 points per game. If he doesn't stand up, it is somewhat unrealistic to expect Hamilton, who averaged 17.3 points per game, to shoot the opponent to death.
Billups also knew he didn't play well in the first half.
But Li Wan, with his long arms and legs, does limit his performance a bit...
Another question...
This guy obviously studied his scouting reports, focusing on his drives and three-pointers.
Should we try to try more middle distance in the second half?
He frowned in confusion. His personal scoring ability was mediocre, and it was basically impossible for him to shoot JR-Smith's kind of ball.
The reason why he can stand up at critical moments every time.
Relying on the mid-range jumper that is usually not easy to shoot.
When opponents get used to his breakthroughs and three-pointers, he suddenly hits the middle distance, which can perfectly achieve the effect of surprise.
But it was also a surprise.
If you use it too much, it won't work as well!
To use, or not to use, that is the question...
Sanders looked at Billups' scoring data in the first half and frowned. He really wanted the assistant next to him to visit Billups and ask him if he ate something wrong today.
This is obviously out of state!
"What kind of defense does the Huaxia rookie have!"
Sanders felt that the key to the problem of the Pistons' lagging behind was found on Billups. He decided to go in later and asked Billups to strengthen his personal offense.
Let him open this point first.
Then bloom more!
perfect!
Sanders wanted to applaud his ingenuity, and the assistant handed over a scouting report...
In fact, when Li Wan was in the NCAA, he was famous for his defensive ability.
In the regular season, some teams also wanted to open the situation from his point of view, but they were all blocked by him.
This rookie is especially good at calling people to defend! ——Yes, this is the degree of research in the playoffs, because many stars can't limit themselves with common tactics, and can only come up with some ways and methods aimed at getting used to it.
Sanders looked at Li Wan's scouting report...
It's not the first time he's seen...
But each time the eyes were on his offensive stats.
Also, how can a guy with 52 points in a single game not think about how to limit his shots?
At this moment, he also found out.
co-authored...
This kid is omnipotent!
What a fucking baby!
Why can't I meet such a super rookie?
Give him to me, I don't win?
"Come on, cheer me up, those whores over there are riding on us and shitting!"
Sanders stormed into the locker room and cursed before returning to the court.
He didn't say anything about tactical changes.
Just yelled a few times!
But he knows that sometimes, for the Pistons, this is much more useful than tactical adjustments!
Stan Van Gundy is also banging on the tactical board and shouting:
"Guys, if we lead in the first half, then we can lead in the second half!"
"Remember, we came to Detroit from Orlando, 1400 kilometers away, not to buy a car. We want nothing but victory!"
After a bowl of "chicken soup", everyone in the Magic team returned to the court with enthusiasm.
We really are different!
This was the thought that flashed through the minds of these guys watching the leading game at the end of the first half.
This team, which swept them 4-0 last year, fell behind by 6 points after halftime tonight!
Since we can do it in the first half, as the coach said, we can do the same in the second half!
In the first round of the third quarter, Howard slapped McDyess with another volleyball cap.
And put it in front of my eyes to show off my shots!
This is not a red-light district, the inside line of the Magic team, it is forbidden to have nothing to do!
If you have the ability, just buckle one on my head!
Howard's excited shouts attracted Turkoglu's attention. He gave Howard a rare point to the inside. With a flexible turn, the "Warcraft" in an excited state staged a basket that satisfied Ewing. Turn around.
The speed is fast, and the shot is crisp!
Even though it wasn't a hook shot, but inside...
Who can hook it!
As long as the turn around is beautiful enough, the hook can be practiced slowly.
8 points difference!
The atmosphere at the scene was somewhat dull.
When the Pistons players came back just now, more than 8000 Detroiters who came to the arena tonight also specially sent cheers.
As soon as the result came up, the Magic scored first again.
Some fans have already complained.
Sanders could hear it clearly, but after yelling in the locker room, when he returned to the sidelines, he put his arms around his chest confidently and just watched.
He still has confidence in the guys on the court.
Again, the teams that have reached the Eastern Conference Finals for 5 consecutive times in the past did not collapse so easily.
Their resilience...
It was more than everyone thought!
Hamilton tried a shot from outside the three-point line, trying to chase points.
The ball pops out with a bang, and Rasheed Wallace destroys the backboard from behind the "Warcraft". .
It's time to start!
Sanders keenly sensed a change.
Sure enough, when Turkoglu broke through again with the ball on the flank, Prince no longer allowed him to advance easily as he did at the beginning. Taking a step forward requires more power to be consumed.
"Snapped!"
Turkoglu, who focused on advancing with the ball, did not notice Hamilton's "black hand". ——He was just paying attention to Prince's long arms, this guy is really long!
"Mask Man" slapped the ball away and successfully completed the steal.
The Pistons' fast break.
The Magic returned to the defense very quickly. Wallace, who was ready to "deal" the ball at the top of the arc, watched Hamilton go around the basket and gave the ball immediately.
The Pistons successfully connected at the [-]nd and [-]th positions and scored.
And recovered 2 points.
This point difference is only 4 points left.
Complaints turned into cheers in an instant.
Yeah!
This is the Jagged Piston they are familiar with!
Stan Van Gundy watched the Magic team fall into passive again on the field, and subconsciously glanced at Li Wan. In his opinion, this "sharp knife" had to come out to save the field again.
Li Wan thought the same way. This round came to the frontcourt, he immediately called for a pick-and-roll, and made a mid-range shot. Amid Director Zhang's shout of "Yes", he missed!
Wallace, who rushed forward, said disdainfully: "Scream, why don't you scream? Do you think luck will always be on your side? Basketball doesn't lie!"
The Pistons' counterattack was very fast, and another attack was successfully completed, with only two points left.
The atmosphere at the scene became more active. This sudden wave of 6-0 woke up the Little Caesars Arena. When Li Wan took the ball and went to the frontcourt, they kept shouting:
"Defense!"
"Defense!"
"Defense!"
Li Wan continued to attack by himself, and Billups had guarded him for so long, and it seemed that he had mastered some of his habits.Li Wan called for a pick-and-roll, but still couldn't get the shooting space, so he simply buried his head and rushed inside.
"Have it!"
Director Zhang shouted.
Under Wallace's interference, Li Wan made a layup and missed...
Liao, Liao, Liao~
If Stan Van Gundy were Chinese, he would definitely have the sound of an ambulance in his head.
"Sharp Knife Platoon" Li Wan couldn't stand up either.
He didn't know who else to count on...
Could it be Li Wan's fault?
A newcomer has already stood up twice, so you can't expect him to stand up every time, right?
Then his annual salary should be followed by a zero.
"Bah!"
Stan Van Gundy sighed subconsciously, and a slamming basket on the court stopped the cheers and his sigh.
Second charge!
From "Superman" Howard!
McDyess just looked at the ball that was about to fly into his hands, was caught by Howard, and then grabbed it with both hands and smashed into the basket.
"Howard jumps so high!"
Director Sun used the simplest words to express his shock at Howard's jump.
It's like when complimenting a beautiful woman, it has been brewing for a long time, and finally exclaimed "she is so beautiful", which can also make people feel how beautiful this woman is!
Of course……
It can also be understood as, seeing this slam dunk as fierce as a tiger, I wanted to write a poem as a gift to the monster, but Wei Ping is uneducated, and one sentence is really popular in the world.
The Magic opened the point difference to 4 points again.
Howard cheerfully returned to the defense.
The Pistons were not affected. They cooperated with each other and Prince made another three-pointer!
He is really amazing tonight!
So far, 5 of 3 three-pointers...
Li Wan no longer tried to shoot by himself, he felt that now is not the time to show the "Mamba Mentality", Howard obviously opened up, and Li Wan tried to find opportunities to cooperate with him.
This time reflects how experienced the Pistons are.
They saw through Li Wan's intentions and cut off the connection between Li Wan and Howard.
With a flick of his long arm, Li Wan turned to look for Turkoglu.
The Turks "bent their bows" and responded to Prince's three-pointer just now.
"Hey, it really made a shot. Is this the first one tonight?" When Director Zhang saw Turkoglu make a three-pointer, he turned to ask Sun Zhengping.
Sun Zhengping didn't look at the statistics, and nodded directly: "That's right!"
"During this period of time, Li Wan's hand feeling is not very good, but he can still be restrained. This opportunity was created by Li Wan's restraint!" Zhang guided, "The ball still has to be given to Li Wan, so it is reasonable to play this way, otherwise Just playing blindly, bang bang bang, the Pistons seized the opportunity and might have overtaken the score."
The game was deadlocked again.
Until the end of the third quarter, the Magic still led by 4 points.
But this time the stalemate and the reason for maintaining the lead were different from the first half. Li Wan was relied on twice in the first half. This time in the third quarter, it was thanks to Turkoglu and the others!
Li Wan was in the third quarter, very slow.
Out of 6 shots, he made one.
But Turkoglu and the others were very happy.
In the first half, the Magic led by 6 points. Although they were very happy, they also felt a little embarrassed, because at the critical moment, it was Li Wan who stood up to save the team.
Their three cores have played together in the league for more than ten years, but their performance in the playoffs was not as good as that of a rookie, and their thighs were almost broken.
During the break in the first half, Li Wan sat there wiping his sweat, and they sat next to each other like pins and needles, not daring to look him in the eye.
just now……
They could finally sit on the bench with Li Wan and drink Gatorade without any burden.
Dude is doing his best now!
Before the start of the fourth quarter, Stan Van Gundy took Li Wan to the side to have a heart-to-heart talk, telling him not to put too much pressure on him. Winning is the responsibility of everyone on this team.
Check it out!
Look at the art of talking after getting kicked out of Miami!
High emotional intelligence: Victory is the responsibility of everyone on this team.
Low EQ: Don't shoot the other shit, pass the ball more!
Li Wan never talks back to the head coach, especially since he knows that Stan Van Gundy is a very stubborn head coach.
Moreover, from his point of view, it is true that Li Wan's state is not good, and it is indeed reasonable to let others be in a good state.
But what he doesn't know is...
Li Wan is dead!
He has already scored 7 goals, and missed more shots, about a dozen. Regardless of whether the next goal is scored or not, the "nervous knife" badge is about to light up.
It's not that he doesn't trust his teammates and wants to stand out.
Judging from the situation in the first half of this game, Turkoglu and his group still need a transformation. Their abilities should not have reached their respective peaks. Take Howard as an example. Up to now, there has not been a single dunk. Could it be the pinnacle Howard?
The man who claims to be able to replace LeBron alone...
It's not just this skill.
The Pistons on the opposite side have already increased the intensity of the confrontation several times. Looking at their appearance, it is estimated that the fourth quarter will have to increase the intensity.
Relying on the abilities of these "imperfect people" alone, it may be difficult to maintain this slight difference to the end.
He should have to step up and save the team once.
and so……
Promise is one thing, how to do it is another.
What a scumbag...
How could any answer be sincere?
Stan Van Gundy is very satisfied with Li Wan's attitude!
I used to just watch him gossip outside.
After working together for a while now, Van Gundy found that Li Wan is a good and obedient person...
But the needle does not poke!
"Dangdang!"
The "obedient" Li Wan missed a mid-range jumper when he played.
Fortunately, Howard grabbed the offensive rebound and completed the second offense.
Stan Van Gundy: ...
First rule out the possibility that Li Wan didn't listen to him.
Because Li Wan is really obedient.
Be polite and hygienic...
Is that probably what I said too connotatively?
Ok……
That's my problem!
Pistons attack as Stan Van Gundy "reflects on himself."
Billups and Hamilton crossed positions outside the three-point line. Billups, who made a false pass, tricked Li Wan and Bogans into switching defenses, crushing the latter and forcing a pass.
The ball was given to the bottom corner, and McDyess easily hit the shot.
Coordination is smoother!
Back on the defensive end, Li Wan took the ball to the scene, and everyone on the opposite side kept a distance of about ten centimeters from their defenders, sticking very close.
Obviously, the defense has to be stepped up again.
Turkoglu held the ball, and Prince had to get closer after he hit that [-]-pointer in the third quarter.
In this way, the breakthrough of the "Turkish agent" became irresistible again.
If Prince wants to resist Turkoglu, the prerequisite is to stand firm and move so close, there is no time for this.
The formation was broken, the ball was thrown to the outside line, and Li Wan caught it and shot.
Stan Van Gundy shuddered as the ball was released.
Director Zhang is extremely confident: "Yes!"
Seeing the ball popping out again, Yu Jia couldn't help but glanced at him, thinking: "What else? You've scored 9 times and only scored 1. It's amazing."
He thinks it's mainly because Director Zhang called out...
Wallace yelled for the rebound, and before jumping up, he gave Howard a covert push and successfully protected the rebound.
Howard, who was tricked, was very upset and kept complaining to the referee.
Seeing that the referee ignored him, he still wanted to walk over.
This kid's temper has come up again, but at such a critical moment...
Li Wan quickly gave him a hand, dragging him back to defend desperately.
still too late...
Opposite Billups made a fast break.
Evening...
Stan Van Gundy hurriedly called a timeout, and first shouted at Howard: "You don't win by the referee's whistle!"
He took Li Wan aside and talked for a while alone.
This time his meaning was much more straightforward, allowing Li Wanduo to break through the ball and give full play to the advantage of breakthrough.
Li Wan nodded without hesitation.
Stan Van Gundy thought it was okay.
"Get on the court later, I attracted the referee's attention, you took his pants off!"
Li Wan looked at Howard, who still felt brooding, and gave him a move.
Howard's eyes lit up when he heard that.
Li Wan commanded loudly on purpose to attract everyone's attention, and approached Billups so that all referees must pay attention to his side. The corners of the three referees on the field are respectively, near the center line on the left and right sides, and one on the right side bottom corner.
In other words, the left side is emptied.
Howard unobtrusively led Wallace to the left, paid attention to the eyes of the referees on both sides, and when he was sure that they were all looking at Li Wan, he moved directly and yanked Wallace's shorts.
Looking at the white flowers...
A strange excitement suddenly surged in my heart.
Ok?
I'm rough!
When Wallace felt someone take off his pants, the pants had already been taken off.
He quickly pulled it up, turned his head and went to find the instigator, with an exasperated expression on his face, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Howard's collar.
At this time, Li Wan broke through the basket and brought his gaze over. When the referees noticed Wallace and Howard, Wallace happened to be grabbing Howard's collar.
In view of the name of "Roaring Tianzun".
The three referees blew their whistles almost simultaneously.
Didn't even watch the replay and called a technical foul.
Wallace rushed to one of the referees excitedly: "He took off my pants, didn't you see that he took off my pants?"
The referee gave him a cold look: "Are you going to take another technical foul?"
"you……"
Who is Wallace?
The king of technical offenders!
As soon as he heard this, he was about to run away, and the other four members of the Pistons rushed to stop him.
"Winning the game is more important than anything else!"
When Billups yelled that sentence in front of him, his mind cleared.
Correct!
Can't let the Magic win!
This is the main thing!
It can make "Roaring Tianzun" calm down all of a sudden, which shows how much he wants to defeat the Magic!
That new bitch!
And those defeated underlings!
It is absolutely impossible for him to let this group of people step on him...
Li Wan felt a little pity, and thought that this could send Rasheed Wallace away.
Unexpectedly, it was just a technical foul...
Fortunately, a technical foul can also get a free throw.
Most importantly, Howard's resentment went out.
Look at him, how white his big teeth are!
This wave is not a loss.
As for Howard taking off Wallace's pants, what should he do if the referee sees him...
Li Wan remembered that Artest took off Pierce's pants, but the referee didn't call a foul...Obviously it was possible that he thought it was accidentally dropped.
Intense exercise!
It's normal to take off your pants!
Li Wan executed the free throw and made the ball steadily.
Howard rushed over immediately. After this round, he liked Li Wan even more. He felt that he and Li Wan could become an "OK" combination in Orlando!
Li Wan didn't know that he was helping Howard, this guy actually wanted him to be "Pippen", otherwise he had to sigh: It's hard to be a good person these days!
It was still the Magic's offensive round. Li Wan called for a pick-and-roll. Howard stepped forward quickly with a firm attitude that he had never seen before, and made a very good pick-and-roll.
Li Wan bypassed the screen and made a quick shot.
"Dangdang!"
special!
Didn't the free throw just now adjust the whole feel?
Another person who scolded "fuck" in his heart was Stan Van Gundy.
no……
Why did this guy vote again?
Let him pass the ball more, didn't he hear?
Wallace protected the rebound and stared coldly at Howard.
Howard replied with a smile: "It's really white!"
The light tone made Wallace almost unbearable to run away again.
Luckily, Billups came to him in time to ask for the ball, bringing his attention back to the court.
Wow, not good enough!
Of course Li Wan taught Howard such annoying words, but Billups can always comfort this guy with one word.
Whoever can persuade Rasheed Wallace...
But too little!
No wonder Billups left after that, and when Allen Iverson came in, the rest of the Hangman United team didn't pass the ball to Iverson, and they collectively performed poorly!
This is really listening to Billups!
However, if you want to say that this "Mr. Key" really has a skill in winning the hearts of his teammates.
Carmelo Anthony played a "reasonable ball" in the only season of his career, and he didn't pay much attention to personal data. It was when he cooperated with Billups, and they reached the Western Conference Finals that year.
Ok……
That is next year.
"Let's score this goal!"
Billups went to the frontcourt and rarely opened his mouth to focus his teammates' attention.
Li Wan knew that this was mainly for Rasheed Wallace.
This guy really is the "brain" of the Pistons.
He really knows when and how to get his teammates involved in the game!
The Pistons, which refocused on both ends of the offense and defense, successfully completed the offense, leading the score by 1 point.
The cheers at the scene exploded like thunder on a summer night.
"Defense!"
"Defense!"
"Defense!"
The shouts are louder!
Detroit people feel that from now on, the balance of victory will completely fall to the Pistons.
Stan Van Gundy looked at Li Wan with a complicated expression.
This kid's feelings are a "double-edged sword"!
"Coach Anxi" believed that Li Wan was indeed responsible for the Magic's lead in the first half; but the overtake in the second half was also due to Li Wan's missed shot...
In fact, if Li Wan didn't take these shots, it's still unknown how many others would score.
But Stan Van Gundy doesn't think so.
He felt that Li Wan's attitude was loose.
Blame Phil Jackson!
Like his former teacher, he couldn't get used to this old man who pretended to be a ghost. During the time Li Wan was in his hands, he had obviously picked up a lot of bad court habits.
Otherwise, he must be stronger!
He felt that he had to show his strict teacher side!
In this way, it is also for the good of this kid!
On the field, Li Wan didn't know about the change in "Coach Anxi's" attitude. Of course, he wouldn't be surprised. There was indeed a reason for not winning the championship.
He found the right opportunity to pass the ball inside, but Howard got up but was taken out, Wallace slapped the ball off his hand, Li Wan got the ball first, and quickly made a shot under the basket.
Miss!
Howard yelled to put down the offensive rebound.
But his whole body has been surrounded.
"Pause, pause!"
Seeing that the ball was about to scrimmage, Li Wan immediately called a timeout.
It took a lot of hard work to keep the ball.
Stan Van Gundy asked Li Wan to pass the ball again, and his expression was already very ugly.
Li Wan still nodded obediently.
Stan Van Gundy: ...
This means admit it once you say it, and commit the crime again next time, right?
The mouth of this Chinese rookie is a deceiving ghost!
Stan Van Gundy didn't believe a word of it anymore. Anyway, he had already decided that as long as Li Wan made the move himself, he would scold him!
Before Li Wan went on the field, he looked around at his teammates. One by one, there was only one word on the faces that had just been wiped with a white towel: Tired!
The effect of the Pistons gradually increasing the intensity of confrontation appeared.
This slow "heating" of "boiling frogs in warm water" will only make people feel more and more suffocating.
If this timeout returns to the court and the Pistons continue to increase their confrontational intensity and fight with their lives, maybe the Magic will have to back down.
This is the experienced experience.
Li Wan just kept taking shots just in case this happened.
fine……
He caught up!
Li Wan said in a voice that only they could hear: "Guys, you have worked hard during this time, and then, leave it to me!"
The three of them were slightly taken aback.
But regarding Li Wan's 13 of 2 shots in the second half, they were more or less unconvinced...
But none of them said anything.The main thing is that Stan Van Gundy pulled Li Wan aside to assign tasks just now. They thought that Stan Van Gundy gave Li Wan "unlimited firing rights".
As far as his status as "Sharp Knife Patrol"...
This is actually quite reasonable.
That's why Li Wan didn't say it in front of Stan Van Gundy.
Otherwise, the fat man is not in a hurry?
Howard serves from the sidelines.
Sure enough, the opposite side increased the intensity of confrontation, and it became a little difficult to connect the ball.
Li Wan finally found an opportunity to catch the ball, used his explosive power to break through with the ball, and successfully pushed back Billups when he reached the three-point line.
Before his teammates finished running, Li Wan suddenly changed direction to the right, and then moved sideways.
Pull up and cast!
So far in this game, without a pick-and-roll, Li Wan basically doesn't know how to make mid-range shots.
Therefore, Billups did not expect this shot.
On the badge wall, four badges light up at the same time.
It is the color of confidence!
Li Wanguo made a decisive move!
Stan Van Gundy couldn't take it anymore: "F..."
Before he could say the following words, the ball went into the basket steadily.
Got it!
Stan Van Gundy probably never rolled his tongue so fast in his life, changing his pronunciation as the ball went in: "fun!"
"Good!"
"plum!"
"Pretty!"
"Good job!"
"Nice!"
To cover up his odd pronunciation of the first word, Stan Van Gundy uttered a series of exclamations.
Li Wan nodded to him with a smile, and shouted back to the defense: "Come on, let the bitches on the opposite side see our attitude!"
The Magic regained the lead.
Li Wan's words ignited the group's desire to win.
The heart that wanted to win was also very hot before.
but now……
Burning!
"Bah!"
"Bah!"
"Bah!"
At the critical moment when the bayonet became popular, Billups forced a breakthrough against Li Wan, and the breakthrough was not easy, at least he forced a high jumper opportunity.
Got it!
"Two points from Mr. Clutch, Chauncey - Billups!!!"
The commentary was high-pitched, but it was drowned in the loud shouts of the audience.
More than 1 fans in the audience cheered for the team with their loud screams.
Li Wan calmly went to the frontcourt and directed Turkoglu to catch the ball.
Suddenly a forward breakthrough, in the confrontation with Billups, came to the free throw line, facing Wallace's supplementary defense, mid-range...
Come on!
This is not such a big vacancy!
But with the "Nervous Knife" badge, Li Wan's mid-range shooting ability has reached 82, plus 5% ignoring interference.
Almost 85 points of ability!
It's full again...
This ball may have Rasheed Wallace jumping in front of him to interfere!
"I've already said, jump faster, otherwise the audience will think I'm unguarded if it's so easy!"
Under Li Wan's cursing, the point difference became the lead of the Magic team again.
Stan Van Gundy looked dumbfounded looking at Li Wan who had hit twice in a row.
Li Wan didn't give Billups another chance to break through this time, and stuck him to death.
Billups, who moved sideways all the way, simply passed the ball to the inside.
Wallace scored again with a "straight-arm shot"!
Looking back, Li Wan still attacked by himself, and the Magic pulled the entire defense wide.
Let Li Wan deal with Billups alone.
Stan Van Gundy's explanation to Li Wan appeared in his mind, he opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.
At the same time, another thought gradually occupied his mind...
It seems that now, it would be better to leave everything to Li Wan!
"Shh!"
Li Wan scored the ball against Billups' defense which was one size behind!
In again!
"Rashid, where's your supplementary defense?"
whispering sound!
Li Wan's yelling made Wallace grit his teeth. In the next round, he took the initiative to ask for the ball, but at this moment, Li Wan laughed: "You may have forgotten something!"
Billups was thinking about how to create room for Wallace to shoot, but Li Wan's words caught him by surprise.
"beep!"
Then the referee blew his whistle again.
Lewis fouled McDyess!
Although he doesn't have the ball in his hands, he has accumulated 5 fouls on both sides, and every subsequent foul will require a free throw.
"Chop the Wheat" Tactic...
?
Again?
Billups looked at Li Wan's unsurprised expression, obviously this is what Li Wan reminded him to forget.
As soon as he returned to defense, Li Wan signaled to Lewis.
This is what he told Lewis during the half-time break.
Originally, Lewis had forgotten all about it, but when he saw Li Wan's gesture, he immediately remembered it.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
McDyess didn't feel very good in the first half, and now, at such a critical moment of the game, he was even more stressed.The two free throws were unsurprising, and both went out of the box.
Howard protected the rebound and quickly threw the ball into Li Wan's hands.
Li Wan made a fast break, and Billups and Hamilton quickly approached him, and made a "fishing net" near the high position. Unexpectedly, Li Wan didn't even look before the three-point line, and directly shot a three-pointer.
At this time, although the "traditional center era" has gradually passed, throwing three-pointers during the fast break is really not like a normal person's choice.
They didn't expect Li Wan's move.
There was no interference at all, and he watched Li Wan make the three-pointer in a daze.
"Shh!"
Li Wan could even hear the sound of the ball rubbing against the net.
Because the shouts that had been silent at the scene just now stopped!
The Magic led by 4 points.
Sanders reluctantly called a timeout.
Howard excitedly gestured to Li Wan, and there was a passionate confrontation.
Although 4 points is not safe.
But Li Wan obviously went crazy!
After this timeout, he scored 9 points in a row!
Especially when Li Wan said those words to them before playing.
It made the Magic team feel that this guy was incredible.
Anyway, Turkoglu looked at Li Wan with shock.
You know, this guy only scored 2 goals in the first dozen shots!
This guy……
Is the heart really made of iron?
It's possible!
After all, the badges provided by the four badges have brought Li Wan's overall ability to the "half-step All-Star level", and CIC has reached the top of the All-Stars, but the psychological changes did not help immunity.
Li Wan needs to face the consequences of not investing in...
But he still made 4 of 4 shots!
"You guys might have forgotten, I'm a crazy knife!"
Li Wan stretched out two fingers and said "salute" towards the Pistons' bench.
Everyone on the Pistons team, especially Wallace, looked so ugly, but at this time, they were all speechless.
They have a very serious problem to solve.
McDyess' free throw problem!
This problem is actually very easy to solve, just change to the fourth position and go up.
but……
Another 63.2th position commonly used by the Pistons is Jason Mark Hill, who made 1% of his free throws. Although he was [-]% higher than McDyess, he hardly played in this game. His hands are not necessarily better than Mike's. Days hot.
The latter hit the iron a few times at least.
Stan Van Gundy also didn't know what to say, but he understood why Phil Jackson let Li Wan shoot as he wanted.
Because of any restrictions, it is possible to prevent miracles from happening.
For Li Wan...
As a head coach, there is only one thing to do...
That is, believe it!
Believe in this person's ability to perform miracles.
It seems that until now...
He has yet to disappoint...
Ok……
Stan Van Gundy felt guilty for no reason, and really wanted to drag Li Wan to the small room and apologize to him: "Li Wan, there were so many people outside just now, the coach knelt down for you, the coach was wrong, the coach apologized to you... "
After the timeout ended, the Magic continued to adopt the "chopping wheat tactic". This tactic combined with Li Wan's "nervous knife" was simply a magical weapon to widen the point difference.
Thanks McDyess, it was great to have you in the game.
But the other side also reacted, facing the cut, you cut McDyess, I cut Howard.
The "Symphony of Blacksmithing" sounded in the Little Caesars Arena.
McDyess faced Howard, and he was really half-hearted in the matter of free throws.
Both sides cut to the end...
The leading Magic team successfully won the game with a 5-point advantage.
88 is better than 83!
"Motor City" has been captured!
Everyone on the Magic team clenched their fists and roared fiercely at the end of the game.
This team that swept them last year and gave them a nightmare feeling finally fell at their feet.
Although, there are three more games to be won before they can be eliminated!
Although, this first game proves that this is destined to be a tough series...
Can……
They are already mentally prepared to need 7 games to beat the Pistons!
If you want to fight!
Then fight!
Sanders looked at the score and gritted his teeth secretly. If he had reacted earlier, he would have "cut Huo".
However, the Pistons didn't have many people on the bench. If any of the "Pistons Four Tigers" got into foul trouble because of "cutting", the team's combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced.
This is also the reason why he didn't want to use "Chop Huo" at all.
Billups patted Wallace to look away.
"Roaring Tianzun" has been staring fiercely at Li Wan and the Magic team after the game.
In this game, he was a little frustrated.
Being taken off his pants again, being pointed at his nose and scolded, and then losing the game so uselessly, that feeling of helplessness that cannot be exerted is really too bad.
But soon, he got even worse...
The reporter on the sidelines handed the microphone in front of Li Wan. The man who stood up to save the Magic team several times tonight, faced the camera and said every word:
"The Pistons will die, the Magic will die!"
"It's time to change the position of the speaker in the east!"
Today 1, all together, this week is about 5 words of updates.
