Standing pretty old

Chapter 612 The first day of the playoffs: down to top

Being able to be so lively in the game can only show that the Hawks' overall mentality is relaxed and they are crushing the Pistons in terms of strength.

As for how Woodson concocted Er Niu and Jiong Jisen after the game, that's another matter.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Aaron Afflalo, the senior of Erniu UCLA, once scored 4 points in a row, almost leading the Pistons to a wave of counterattack.

But the Hawks' bench isn't a vegetarian either.

First, Zaza Pachulia hit a mid-range shot from the high post, and then Dragic sent consecutive assists on the offensive end, helping Ronald Murray and Steve Novak hit 3 points, and again The scores of the two teams were opened.

Dragic, who played in the playoffs for the first time, has no stage fright at all.

Physical fitness can be exercised, and basketball skills can also be cultivated, but the superstar temperament that dares to play is often an innate thing.

And Dragic in the counterattack showed a super giant demeanor.

After assisting his teammates many times, he hit a three-pointer himself, and continued to rush to the basket to end the offense.

Due to the relationship between position, style of play and team status, Dragic's sense of existence is too low in the selection of the best rookie.

He was not even selected for this year's All-Star Rookie Game, but this only proves that there are too many excellent guards in the 08 class, not that the claw machine has no strength.

Hawks starter Mike Bibby complained in front of the media: "The league always ignores those capable but relatively low-key players! No, I'm not talking about me, but our first-year rookie Goran Dragic .”

Ruan Erniu and Jiong Jisen, who were waiting anxiously off the court, returned to the court.

囧囧sen's hand feeling declined slightly, and he missed two three-pointers, but Ruan Erniu at the basket was very active, and made a tip-up to score points after successfully grabbing offensive rebounds many times.

At 18:35, the game in the second quarter was coming to an end. Only halftime had passed, and the game was over.

40:69, when the Detroiters let their opponents score nearly 70 points in the halftime in the playoffs, it fully proves that their proud defensive system is on the verge of collapse.

Looking at the relaxed expressions of the Eagles, most people can even tell that the Atlanta people are not doing their best.

The Pistons, a powerhouse in the East, are like a mirror, reflecting the growth of the Hawks.

In the regular season last year, the two teams were still facing each other, and even their defensive styles seemed to be in the same line.

To some extent, it feels like Wukong meets a six-eared macaque. After all, Woodson was an assistant coach under Larry Brown.

In the playoffs, the young eagle has evolved, and "Wukong" is destined to beat "Liu Er" to death with a single blow, but at this time, it is not clear who is Wu Kong and who is Liu Er.

Until this season, the script has been transferred from "Journey to the West" to "The Legend of Journey to the West", and the Eagles have changed into a high-cold version of Wukong. Say: "I haven't exerted any strength, and you will fall!"

Well, the metaphor is enough to talk (ignoring) (ignoring), but it is a certainty that the Eagles beat the Pistons.

The intermission ended quickly, and the Detroit people who hadn't given up launched the most violent counterattack in the second half.

Rodney Stuckey, as the second-year pick that the team wanted to cultivate, also did his best in the game.

He either used a screen or held the ball directly to hit the basket. While scoring a layup, he caused fouls inside the Eagles.

But even with such a desperate style of play, it came a little later.

With a big lead, Woodson learned from Phil Jackson.

Obviously, the opponent had a lot of success and chased for nearly 10 points in a row, but he didn't mean to call a timeout at all.

It seems that this is not a playoff game that is about promotion at all, but a preseason game that can be squandered at will.

The generals of the Hawks did not live up to the trust of the head coach.

Ruan Erniu and Jon Jonsen quickly led the team to gain a firm foothold in the second half after the initial discomfort.

囧囧森 and Er Niu have staged classic cooperation many times, and the combination that Atlanta fans affectionately call "JR Connection" (the initials of 囧囧森 and Er Niu's surnames) once again shines in the Philips Center.

Ruan Erniu made a high screen, and Jiongsen drove the ball into the penalty area. After attracting double-teams, he threw the ball high. Ruan Erniu went in from the outside. smashed in.

Ruan Erniu held the ball in a high position, and Jiongsen used the pick-and-roll of the lunar eclipse to cut to the basket. Jonson couldn't help but performed a tomahawk-style dunk when no one was watching on the inside.

At 20:24, this is already the best quarter for the Pistons, but the total score of the three quarters at 60:93 will not change, and they will enter the final quarter with a huge disadvantage of 33 points.

In order to increase the viewing experience of the game, Steve Javi even deliberately sentenced several penalties in favor of the Pistons.

This is also a common trick of the league referees. Even so, the Pistons did not look like they were coming back to life.

This is not a posture that a team with championship background and fine tradition should show.It can be said that the impact of losing Billups on the Pistons is far from being as simple as a decline in record.

In the last quarter of the game, Woodson also dared to think and do it, and he was the same as Ji Jisen.The Hawks twins continued to start the game without a combined 3-minute break in the third quarter.

Under the joint efforts of these two killers, the Eagles quickly opened the score to more than 40 points.

Woodson looked at the rest of the game, and in the end it wasn't too much.

After a dead ball, he replaced Er Niu and Jiong Jisen together, leaving only two main players, Salmons and Eclipse.

Bibby, who had been resting off the court for a long time, threw the towel to Er Niu and Jiong Jiongsen. As the oldest middle-aged starter, Bibby naturally needed more rest.

Being able to play healthy basketball in the playoffs is not the treatment that the main players of ordinary teams can enjoy.

Even at the end of the game, when the Pistons faced the Hawks as a pure substitute, they did not recover enough points to save face.

19:30, this is the score comparison between the two teams in the final quarter.

It wasn't until the playoffs of the 08-09 season that the Pistons finally shed the last layer of prestige in the Eastern Conference and completely fell at the feet of the Hawks.

79:123, a huge disadvantage of 44 points. Such a point difference may not be ranked among the top five playoff tragedies in NBA history, but it should be no problem to rank in the top ten.

What is even more frightening is that anyone who has watched the game understands that the Hawks have beaten their opponents out of temper before they have shown their best strength.

If the Pistons fail to make changes in the subsequent series, it can be said that the trend of this series has been determined.

The Hawks played a historic disaster, but the headlines of the day did not belong to them.

After all, it should be a matter of course for the league's No. [-] to hit No. [-] in the Eastern Conference. No one will be surprised. At most, everyone will be disappointed by the weakness of the Pistons.

The big news of the league appeared in the other three games, Cavaliers VS Bulls, Blazers VS Rockets, Spurs VS Mavericks.

Among them, the result of the battle between the Blazers and the Rockets, objectively, should be considered reasonable.

At 108:81, the Rockets in the away game defeated the Trail Blazers in the home game by a big score.

Except for Brandon Roy, under the care of Artest and Battier, barely made 23 of 10 shots, 1 of 1 free throw, and scored 21+2+2, which is considered impressive. There is no second person who can share the burden for the Yellow Mamba.

As the second player, Aldridge performed particularly badly, only 12 of 3 shots, and scored 7+3+2.

As for the Rockets, Dayao played a career highlight, making 9 of 9 shots and 6 of 6 free throws. He miraculously scored 100 points and 24 rebounds with a 9% shooting rate.

And the little black bean Aaron Brooks also showed his super attacking level when facing Steve Blake's defense.

他全场17投10中，3分球8投5中，罚球2罚2中，拿下了27分，7助攻，4篮板。

Well, let alone the Blazers can't stop such a rocket, even if the Lakers and Spurs come, they have to weigh it carefully.

If it is reasonable for the Blazers to lose to the Rockets, the Cavaliers VS Bulls, Spurs VS Mavericks games were completely beyond everyone's expectations.

And these three battles of focus have a common feature, the next defeats the upper!
