Chapter 158 Foul Tactics
Looking at the big fat man opposite, Wallace actually found it interesting in his heart. After all, as a person who often eats T, seeing the rookie on the other side eat T first, he actually felt a pity that something of his own was robbed.

Perhaps it was this kind of regret that made him not even roar in this game, and naturally he didn't eat a T.

And this time against Li Chengming, he just asked his teammates to help him pull away, and he was going to start pretending... to play singles.

Well, it's really just pretending, because Li Chengming was waiting in line, but he passed the ball directly, and then took advantage of the situation to cover with a single block. Billups came down from the top of the arc and used the screen to go around and faced Li Chengming who was changing defense.

Li Chengming retreated and defended, but Billups swayed him away with a fake change of direction. The difference in size and agility was too great. With the center of gravity shifted, Li Chengming would only be a foul if he stretched out his hand. Lewis came over in time to defend Prince in the bottom corner was missed again. After receiving the ball, Prince swayed Howard and turned around to kill the basket and dunk with one arm to score two points.

Billups added nothing statistically, but he created the ball and even took away the defense at the rim when Prince drove.

The fact that Billups is easily overlooked may be due to his unpretentious style of play. Except for "sudden arrows", he is basically stable, but he has both offensive and defensive organizations, and he can be regarded as a hexagonal player.

Although he may only have 4 or 5 assists in a game, it is his specialty to take away the defense and thread the needle through breakthroughs. It is more reasonable and practical than throwing the blame for others directly after dribbling for 20 seconds.

What to do with such good data, winning is the last word.

Just like what's the use of the Nuggets' two guns scoring explosively on the field, can the fans be satisfied just by entering the playoffs? Believe it or not, I can take the Nuggets to the Western Conference Finals by replacing Iverson?

"Billups made an offensive choice very calmly. The Magic's defense was easily torn apart. Li Chengming came up. The Magic had problems defending the pick-and-roll, and the Pistons were very calm. In the end, it will be up to Prince to end it.” Xu Jicheng couldn’t help but lament the Pistons’ style of play and system, which is very organized layer by layer.

Such tactical cooperation is actually rare in most NBA teams.

Many teams have an absolute strong point and they want to maximize the advantage of this point, so sometimes they play relatively simple. For example, the Magic team is often led by Li Chengming or Howard. Lineup, and as long as James is on the court for the Cavaliers, it is basically giving him misplaced singles or sudden points.

Also on the Nuggets side, the ball is directly handed over to the two guns. Although it seems to be no problem, it is indeed efficient in scoring, but if other players only have a single function left, the offensive end will not get much benefit. Data, on the contrary, requires them to do a lot of dirty work on the defensive end that cannot get data. Will this also reduce the enthusiasm for the game?

Therefore, in the past NBA championships, there was basically no team with a single core. Since the new century, OK has been dual-core, and the triangle offense also allows role players to participate in it and dominate the ball. Although the Spurs have super giants, But like the Pistons, it's team basketball. As for the Heat, although Wade's light is shining, the efforts of those veterans who are eager for championships cannot be ignored.

Of course, the Magic also have tactical cooperation, but it is relatively simple.

On the offensive end, Li Chengming finally played a positive role this time. After the high pick-and-roll, he caught the ball and passed it past the defender to the ground and passed it to Turkoglu on the other side. Seeing Li Chengming block a through ball and pass it to Howard in seconds, Howard catches the ball and turns around and dunks.

Afterwards, the two teams hit each other. The Pistons made a pass error, and the Magic responded with a mistake. Li Chengming received a pass from Lewis and the butter hand went out of bounds.

At this point in the game, it is foreseeable that the efficiency of both sides will drop. However, Li Chengming was not in a good state throughout the game today, which made him very annoyed. He gritted his teeth and beat his palm angrily before preparing to return to defense. .

Director Zhang and others in the commentary seat smiled, and then Yang Jian said: "Li Chengming is also very upset about his performance today. As a very energetic young player, he will definitely not be willing to be on the court. It works. But his role after playing this time is still there, and the collocation of this lineup can also cover up his deficiencies on the defensive end."

Director Zhang said: "Currently, the Pistons are still leading by 1 point. In the past period, the offensive efficiency of both sides was not high, and the score increased very slowly. Someone on both sides needs to stand up."

The first to stand out was Hamilton of the Pistons. He was the first scoring point of the Pistons and the first offensive choice of the Pistons' tactics, including some unreasonable shots. slipped.

But this time, after he came out of the screen in the paint and received the pass, he made a fake shot and then broke down. Li Chengming, who was the closest, hurried forward when he saw this, trying to stand still and make a foul. Unfortunately, the speed It was still a bit slower and did not explain clearly, and finally blocked the foul.

The key is that the ball hit the front of the basket after the shot, and it bounced back and scored.

"In the last minute of the game, Hamilton stood up. The goal was scored and there was an extra penalty. If the extra penalty is also hit, the Pistons will lead by 1 points. Will the game be settled?"

In this ball, Li Chengming's defensive weakness was fully exposed. Hamilton's dribbling was average, but his speed and reaction were very fast, and Li Chengming himself did not form a good defensive position. On the other hand, he was also a little bit caught by the referee today. aim at the meaning.

This can actually be seen by those who watch the game more, so the home fans began to boo the referee again, and Hamilton also booed him when he walked to the free throw line.

But it didn't matter, and the penalty was also hit. 110:106, a 4-point gap, with the last 39 seconds left in the game, the Magic called a timeout.

Yang Jian said: "At this time, it depends on what choice the Magic will make. The safest way is to quickly make two points and then find a way to foul, and then continue to repeat this style of play. You have to bet on the opponent's free throws. But since Daben left After that, the Pistons didn't have a particularly bad free throw lineup in this roster..."

In fact, both Mark Hill and McDyess only made more than [-]% of their free throws, but they both accumulated five fouls before and were taken off the field. Currently, apart from the championship four-man team, Galvez is also on the field. • Hayes, primarily a sizeable forward defender who is too short to face Turkoglu or Lewis.

In addition to the guard duo, the other three strikers also have free throws above 75%, and the risk of foul tactics is still relatively high.

Back from the timeout, the Magic's lineup has not changed. Turkoglu holds the ball on the flank, Howard pulls out to pick and roll, and Li Chengming also mentions the high position to form a double block.

But it was Lewis who finally completed the finale!
"A 3-pointer, a fatal blow from Lewis. The Magic's tactic is very beautiful this time. Howard rushed inside immediately after the screen to attract most of the defensive attention. Turkoglu also used the cover of Lee Cheng-ming. The team focused on these two points, but ignored Lewis on the other side."

Director Zhang smiled and said: "Li Chengming's pass was also very subtle. Everyone thought it was a hand-off to Turkoglu. Unexpectedly, the ball was still in his hand, and he turned around and gave him a chance to open up. Lewis, Lewis caught it -- it's definitely a game of intelligence."

Yang Jiandao: "In addition, Li Chengming's palms are large and his wingspan is long enough, allowing him to fend off defenders and firmly control the ball with one hand."

Although Li Chengming's one-handed ball is not as chic as Gangzhu and Tracy, practicality is the most important thing.

With a one-point difference, the Magic's attack was completed quickly enough, with 26 seconds left. The Pistons naturally wanted to control the time, but the Magic still fouled directly after halftime.

The Magic, through the press in the backcourt, fouled Billups at the moment when he handed the ball to Hayes, who came up to respond safely, and sent him to the free throw line.

Now it's up to the guy to miss at least one free throw so the foul is worth it.
