Chapter 233 Faster Rhythm

After the substitution, the first offense of the Pistons solved Rivers' doubts, and their offensive speed suddenly increased.

The Pistons have never been a high-paced team, and their age is not suitable for fast breaks. Indeed, they did not move fast during this offense, but they just gave people a feeling that they are changing. Fast illusion.In fact, they just speed up the transfer of the basketball.

This is the tactical adjustment Sanders made to the team, he is betting!With the situation in the first quarter, this is already a game that will undoubtedly lose. They can't tear apart the Celtics' defense, and at the same time they can't defend Shi Lei's inside attack, so he has to bet, the bet is a chance .

However, Sanders is not betting blindly, he found the "weakness" of the Celtics.The Celtics' defense is very strong, but what they are strong in is their individual defense ability, not their tactical strength.The Celtics' defensive coach is Thibodeau, a well-known defensive expert in the NBA, but don't forget that the Celtics have just been established for a year. No matter how strong Thibodeau is, it is impossible to create a team in just one year. A defensively flawless defensive team.

In the offense, this strategy of the Pistons has received miraculous effects. After they moved the ball faster, relying on the tacit understanding formed between each other over the years, and the habit of tactical running developed over the years, Kyle quickly The special people's super defense has a flaw.

The single defense ability of the Celtics' proud players is not enough to defend an entire team, and they cooperate seamlessly.

Rasheed got the position from beyond the three-point line.

Rashid is a very talented player, not only his physical talent, but also his scoring talent. When he was young, he was an all-star insider who can play inside and outside. Although he has grown older and has a lazy personality, It caused his physical condition to deteriorate unbelievably, but it only made him lose his once extremely flexible breakthrough ability, but his shooting ability on the outside did not disappear.

Rashid hit the [-]-pointer to close the gap to nine.

Not only has the offense changed, but the Pistons have also changed defensively. In this defense, except for Prince coming out to interfere with Ray Allen, they almost gave up the outside defense, and they will most of the time. Most of the energy is put on the defense of the area inside the free throw line.

Fortunately, in this game, Ray Allen regained his touch.When Shi Lei broke through and was almost double-teamed by three people, he moved the basketball to the outside in time. Ray Allen also hit a three-pointer this time, opening the gap again.

The Pistons have never tried to speed up their offense. This is their first attempt, but they are still in the conference finals.This time, there was a mistake in their cooperation. Hamilton's running position was a little short and he didn't get to the position. The basketball was stopped by Rondo. The Celtics formed a fast break, but Prince simply fouled and sent Rondo to To the free throw line.

After Rondo made two free throws, Shi Lei tried to regain control of the court's rhythm, and began to control Billups' advancement at halftime.The latter immediately passed the basketball, breaking Shi Lei's suppression of their attack speed.

The Pistons began to transfer the ball between the players directly from their own half, advancing layer by layer towards the Celtics' half, like a bowling ball that was always in motion. Knock down and disintegrate one by one.

What happened on the spot left many basketball experts dumbfounded. They realized that their conclusions just now were drawn too early.

"The Pistons, an old car, is full of horsepower. Hasn't Sanders considered the physical strength of his players?"

In order to find excuses for his own conclusions, the issues mentioned by the experts were too advanced. On the sidelines of the court, Rivers did not have the mind to think about the future at this time. He only wanted to solve the current problems of the team.

But he turned around in the same place, and the camera lens placed on him was dizzy, which didn't help him find a solution to the problem.

After halftime, the Pistons surrounded the Celtics' basket, and the "bowling ball" who was knocked down by them stood up again, but like a headless chicken, in the complicated court situation, he couldn't find his own position. defensive goal.

Rondo, who was closest to Hamilton, took the lead to defend him. Ray Allen, who was chasing him, passively shifted his target. Billups, Pulis, and Rasheed formed a fan shape. Shi Lei Indicates powerlessness.

Pulis made an unguarded mid-range shot.

"Rajon, Rajon!"

Rondo began to lose his composure again. He lost his rhythm and took the ball like a fast dribble.

Once the tempo is taken away, the situation on the court will also change. This is the way many teams with point guards are good at winning. Fortunately, Rondo has never been the commander of this team. Shi Lei said loudly The reminder finally suppressed his excitement.

When he came to the halfway line, Shi Lei was about to pass the basketball.The Pistons' defense was very targeted. The Celtics only had Ray Allen as an outside shooting point, which was handed over to Prince, who also had outstanding single-defense ability. The rest of the team strictly guarded the basket and the opponent's outside breakthrough.

This immediately restrained Garnett and Shi Lei who were more threatening.

"How should we attack this time?"

Shi Lei couldn't think of a solution for a while, so he turned his head to Rivers involuntarily.

Rivers was still bowing his head in thought.

After Shi Lei passed the basketball to Ray Allen, he made a pick-and-roll for him.Ray Allen also felt that the team was in trouble at this time. In order to be more stable, he gave up a more gambled three-pointer and took a step forward, but this long-range mid-range shot was still rejected by the basket. Yes, the Pistons, who have a dominant number of people at the basket, protected the rebound.

Rivers called a timeout at this time, and replaced Shi Lei with Pierce. He didn't find a good solution, and the tacit understanding between the players was beyond his power.

After Shi Lei left the field, the Pistons immediately changed to another stance, their offensive methods remained the same, but their defensive range began to expand again during their defense.

Rivers could only continue to make substitutions passively, and Cassel replaced Rondo.

"How is this going to be done?"

On the bench, Shi Lei was seriously thinking about a solution. This had become a habit of his. After he became the "sixth man", he never gave up thinking about the team's dilemma.

Billups hit a three-pointer in front of Cassell's ineffective defense, and the difference between the two sides was reduced to 8 points.
