Chapter 597. Chapter 597. The New Legion of Bad Boys
Randolph ran out excitedly and gave Liu Xiu a high five to celebrate, and Liu Xiu was also very excited.
Tough battle, or butcher is better.
This ball Raheem can't do it, Yao Ming's frame protection + Big Ben's sweeping mid-to-close defense, Raheem just got down on the ground.
Also, the talent 'giant killer' can really be used in this way!
The first time the 'Giant Killer' was triggered in the last fight, I didn't know what the bonus was, so naturally I couldn't prepare in advance.
But this time is different, offensive or defensive, he has thought of some ways to use this talent.
Back in the backcourt, Liu Xiu glanced at his old teammates Dale Davis and Kevin Cato on the opposite bench, two 211 cm inside substitutes!
Dale Davis was previously acquired by the Pistons from the Pacers.
Cato joined the Pistons with a basic salary after the Christmas War. He played 23 games with the Hornets before, averaging 14 minutes per game, scoring 3.6 points, 4 rebounds and 1.3 blocks. His salary this season is only partially guaranteed, and he will be waived before January. No need to pay the salary from January, the homeless Hornets waived him before Christmas, he voluntarily applied to join the Pistons, and the general manager of the Pistons, who has been working hard to improve the height of the inside, naturally signed him cheerfully Down.
Liu Xiu felt that Joe Dumars was really a good man.
It was the turn of the Pistons to attack. Billups went to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Carter. Carter singled out Ray Allen. After passing the ball, Billups cut in from the left side, borrowed Ben-Wallace's pick-and-roll from the wing to throw off the outlaw lunatic, ran back to the left side of the top arc to receive the ball, and met Liu Xiu who came over and made a three-pointer...
hit!
5 to 4, the Pistons lead by 1 point!
Liu Xiu saw the ball falling into the frame and clapped his hands—it was a beautiful team attack, with a brisk rhythm, clear running positions, and clear passing intentions... After two months of running-in, the Pistons' offensive system has completely entered Phillips - Sanders mode.
"Detroit Pistons, 26 wins and 4 losses, averaging 101.5 points per game, conceding 92.1 points per game, shooting 46.1% from the field, limiting opponents to 42.4% from the field..."
Liu Xiu took another look at the Pistons' latest team stats. They are almost invincible, but it's normal. During their 15-game winning streak, they naturally look invincible. It was the same when they started with 14 wins and 2 losses.
If you want to slam defense like last time and beat the Pistons with key shots, it seems impossible!
After advancing halfway, Liu Xiu gestured to his teammates to call for tactics.
Even knowing this was the case, Randolph still showed a trace of dissatisfaction on his face, but he glanced at Ben Wallace and Yao Ming... He felt that his dissatisfaction was not with his teammates, but that he was too weak to beat This pair of super twin towers.
Kwame Brown accepted the call, ran out to block Prince for Liu Xiu, followed by Ben Wallace, and Prince formed a strong pick-and-roll pinch circle, and sternly put the pick-and-roll back Liu Xiu, who broke through, took a step outside the free throw line. Suddenly, Prince's eyes widened, and Liu Xiu didn't have the ball in his hand!
Looking back, Kwame Brown in the top arc raised the ball above his head and threw it behind his head.
Ray Allen catches the ball around the top arc and makes a three-pointer...
Prince turned to cover when he saw Kwame Brown lift the ball, but was a beat late.
Ray Allen hit a three-pointer, 7 to 5, and the Trail Blazers regained a 2-point lead!
Ray Allen patted Kwame Brown's butt as he retreated.
Small has small benefits!
Although Kwame Brown's small hands affect blocking shots, steals, and eating cakes, he has an advantage in developing shooting and passing compared to those jumping male centers with big hands. Although the progress of passing and shooting is slow, there is anyway!
After several rounds of trials, both sides unanimously increased the intensity of the game.
The offensive end played more patiently and made decisions more decisively, and the defensive end increased confrontation and strengthened cooperation.
The Trail Blazers are the same as the last time they played against each other. Liu Xiu and Ray Allen's super backcourt opened waves; Carter also needs to undertake part of the task in the three-pointer for mid-range and short-range work.
In the opening stage, Ray Allen and Billups had good long-range shots. Even if the offense of the two teams strengthened their defense, they could not prevent the other side from scoring efficiently.
In the next few minutes, the two teams shot very well. At 6 minutes and 55 seconds, the Pistons and Trail Blazers at home scored 11 to 10, 16 to 17 behind the Trail Blazers by 1 point. Official pause phase.
The game was played back and forth, very intense, the fans at the scene were also very excited, and the players played very well.
It is precisely because of the close play that the game has become more uncertain after entering the official timeout and the rotation stage.
The official timeout came back, and both teams adjusted their lineups and tactics.
The Trail Blazers sent a combination of Payton, Liu Xiu, outlaws, Randolph, and Mourning.
The Pistons sent a combination of Lynch Hunter, Billups, Prince, Ben Wallace, and Dale Davis.
It took Pistons coach Philip Sanders a month to come up with a double point guard combination to deal with Liu Xiu + Payton!
Both Lynch Hunter and Billups are good defensively, and Lynch Hunter is very familiar with the guard combination of Liu Xiu and Payton, which has provided Philip Sanders with a lot of defensive ideas.
After the game restarted, the Pistons, relying on excellent defensive cooperation, abruptly blocked the Blazers' ferocious offense in the first half, preventing the Blazers from scoring in sports in 3 minutes, and only relying on Randolph's tip-up to cause a loss. Foul two free throws scored two points.
During this period, the Pistons scored 8 points and played an 8-2 climax!
24 to 19, the Pistons overtook the Trail Blazers by 5 points!
When it was the Trail Blazers' turn to attack, Liu Xiu took a deep breath on the way to advance and calmed down his mind.
Don't panic at this time!
There are 2 minutes left, it is not that there is no chance to turn the situation around, if it is messed up, the opponent may open up a bigger gap.
Tried team offense and pick-and-roll singles, but it didn’t work. Not only Lynch Hunter, the outside opponent, is familiar with them, but Dell Davis, the inside opponent, is also their former teammate. It's not easy... When Liu Xiu came to the top arc, he sorted out the choices he could make, and came up with what he thought was the best choice, and it was also the easiest choice.
Facing Prince's defense, Liu Xiu used his body to change direction!
Prince defended very seriously, but Liu Xiuhuang gave him a gap for a moment. Liu Xiu had a good sense of rhythm, seized the opportunity, stepped up to withstand Prince's lateral movement, and forced a breakthrough!
The timing of Ben Wallace's supplementary defense was just right, forcing Liu Xiu to grab the ball and perform a European step. When Liu Xiu's second European step landed, Dale Davis blocked in front of Liu Xiu!
Ben Wallace dared to fight aggressively because Dale Davis was behind him.
There are only a handful of players in the league that can match Yao Ming's frame protection strength. Dale Davis' frame protection strength is definitely a few notches behind Yao Ming's, but his flexible footwork is more suitable for close-range defense!
However, Liu Xiu had guessed this situation a long time ago. When Dale Davis blocked him, Liu Xiu took off against the supplementary defense!
"Talent: Giant Killer Trigger, Host Bounce +3, Bullet Speed +3, Layup +3..."
Liu Xiu confronted Dale Davis in the air, and used her explosive bounce to pull the bar in the air to avoid Dale Davis' interference, and threw the ball out...
The ball flew out and hit the backboard and bounced into the frame!
The fans near the bottom line let out an 'oh' and exclaimed again and again.
That warden, in such a situation, just scored a goal to help the Trail Blazers stop the bleeding!
Dale Davis clapped hands with Ben Wallace helplessly. He knew that Ben Wallace was reassuring him that the ball was well defended, and he also felt that he did a good job defending this time. .
But the opponent just threw the ball in, purely based on personal ability!
Fairy Ball!
The Pistons players involuntarily felt a sense of helplessness, while the Trail Blazers players who felt depressed in the past 3 minutes were very excited!
When it came time for the Pistons to attack, Dale Davis caught the ball from a high position and scored at the basket, and Prince made a pie-in-the-loop throw.
Looking back, Randolph made an iron shot, but Mourning grabbed the offensive rebound and smashed the ball into the basket to score 2+1, 24 to 26, and the Trail Blazers narrowed the point difference to two points!
It was the Pistons offense again, and Billups singled Payton with a two-point shot, but Payton fouled and went to the free throw line.
Morris Cheeks on the sidelines sighed, but then laughed.
He was going to call a timeout to replace the flying mouse just now, but he saw that Liu Xiu was actively trying to serve and advance, so he let Liu Xiu give it a go. As a result, Liu Xiuzhen scored and led his teammates to play a wave of 5-2. The point difference narrowed to two points. Although Payton failed to defend the ball against Billups, the original goal of substituting to withstand the impact of the Pistons and prevent the Pistons from continuing to widen the point difference has been achieved. 4 points behind is 4 points behind...
At this moment, after the first free throw, Billups made the second free throw!
The stability of free throws is comparable to Steve Nash's Billups free throws. It is quite rare. His teammates did not expect that Billups, who was so smooth in the first free throw, would hit the neck of the basket in the second free throw, and the ball popped out No one is rushing!
Even the two players under the basket of the Trail Blazers did not react and did not get stuck.
But there is one person who is very focused... As one of the top three free throw shooters in the league, Billups knew it was bad when he took the shot. After the ball hit the basket, he pressed it quickly. Someone stepped into the middle of the road faster than him...
Liu Xiu grabbed the defensive rebound and counterattacked!
Billups quickly moved up, but Liu Xiu turned around and carried him away. He was so flustered that he failed to take on the role of the first wave of defense, and Liu Xiu started smoothly!
'Talent: Flying Squirrel Trigger!Speed +3 on the way to counterattack! '
Liu Xiu sprinted like lightning, overtook Lynch Hunter when he rushed to the opposite three-point line, went straight to the basket, ignored Prince under the basket, grabbed the ball from the free throw line and took three big steps, a reasonable step outside the collision zone Taking off...Prince chose to step aside, and Liu Xiu slammed the ball into the basket hard!
