NBA: Legendary coach signs with league for 10 years

In the last few seconds of the first quarter,

Larry Brown called another timeout and strengthened his defense against Leonard.

However, after Leonard's increase time ended, Wang Chen let Leonard organize the game and stopped forcing the opponent to play.

As Leonard broke through and passed the ball to Anthony, Anthony gently pushed Prince away and rushed directly into the paint.

Prince was not completely pushed away and chased Anthony for physical confrontation.

Although Prince was not afraid of physical confrontation, he had lost his defensive position. With Anthony's size and strength, he directly crushed Prince and rushed into the paint.

The most foul thing about this melon is that he has the attributes of a peak melon but the speed of a young melon.

As the weight gain accelerates, the speed of a peak melon is not as fast as that of a young melon.

Prince saw that he could not interfere with Anthony, so he planned to foul Anthony in advance and pull him down.

Anthony jumped directly in the face of Prince's defense.

Bang!

After dunking, Anthony lost his balance in the air because he was pulled by Prince and fell to the ground.

Beep.

The referee also blew the whistle, emphasizing that physical confrontation does not mean that it is okay to commit a flagrant foul.

Fortunately, Anthony was as strong as a bull. He got up and moved around, and walked directly to the free throw line.

He completed the free throw.

Nuggets 25:15 Pistons.

Even though Leonard was restricted, the Pistons paid too much attention to Leonard. Anthony was like a beast and made the Pistons' double team pay the price. It would have been no problem for Prince to defend Anthony alone at his peak, but Prince would defend Leonard and Anthony at times.

And even when defending Anthony, he had to double team Leonard at any time. Leonard was always prepared to pass the ball in advance, so it looked like he passed the ball quickly.

Prince was also very frustrated. It was not that he could not defend Anthony, but every time he defended Anthony, he had to defend Anthony from a long distance.

Even if his arms were long, he could not interfere without jumping, but the scene just now appeared when he jumped.

If it weren't for Rasheed Wallace scoring consecutively in the last two rounds, the Pistons would have almost collapsed in the first quarter.

The first quarter ended.

Nuggets 28:19 Pistons.

For the Pistons, if the gap is more than ten points, it will be very difficult to catch up.

During the break in the second quarter, Larry Brown made a change.

But there is no way to deal with Leonard.

If it is a single core, it will be like the previous two games, when the Nuggets did not have Leonard standing out.

Anthony was easily held down by the Pistons.

But now that the Nuggets have changed from a single core to a dual core, it seems very difficult to deal with, especially since Leonard's previous breakthrough ability is top-notch.

This happens to be the weakest point of the Pistons' defense, and the iron bucket formation is not really an iron bucket.

The second quarter of the game was almost a continuation of the first quarter.

Leonard was indeed held down. In the second quarter, Leonard hardly scored under the heavy siege of the Pistons.

But Anthony, a top scorer, opened fire without heavy defense.

Back-to-back, breakthrough, mid-range shot, three-pointer, direct pull-up......

Anthony, who is a kaleidoscope of offense, also has the attributes increased by James' off-court bond, and began to show his power.

Nuggets 51:36 Pistons.

No one expected that the highly anticipated Game 5 would turn out like this.

The 15-point difference is simply an insurmountable gap for the Pistons.

Halftime break. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Pistons locker room.

Larry Brown has been emphasizing defense, but every Pistons player has a solemn face.

They have tried their best, but they just can't defend. What can they do?

""Coach, I think we defended Leonard too much. He didn't show much lethality at all."

At this time, Billups, who had been silent all the time, finally spoke.

In the entire Pistons, only Billups dared to say a few words when Larry Brown was talking.

Although he would be scolded by Larry Brown, Billups really couldn't stand it.

Larry Brown wanted to curse, but he suddenly fell silent.

Because he also had a feeling just now that Leonard didn't seem to be a big threat in this game.

The reason why Leonard seemed to be a big threat was that...It's all because of his defensive strategy.

".Yes, I don’t think there’s any need to cover a lot of balls."

Hamilton suddenly spoke up.

As someone who actually played against Leonard, he had a say.

Although Larry Brown was the coach, he was always watching from the sidelines and had never really experienced the game.

"Change strategy."

Larry Brown had a gloomy face and picked up the tactical board to quickly rewrite it.

The two players' remarks also confirmed what he had been thinking.

On the other side, in the Nuggets locker room

"Camby went outside to warm up and be ready to play in the second half.

Wang Chen suddenly called Camby, who did not play in the first half, and asked him to warm up outside.

Camby was a little confused, but the coach said that he should not miss the opportunity to play.

In a big stage like the finals, if he performs better, he can show his worth at any time.

After Camby walked out, Krasker came over.

"Wang, I think our lineup is pretty good. Leonard and Anderson work well together."

Klask was a little puzzled. Obviously, they were in an advantageous position, so why did Wang Chen take the initiative to change Ji?

Wang Chen smiled mysteriously and did not explain to Krask.

"If he is discovered, it would be good to fight the Pistons on defense with a 15-point advantage."

Wang Chen was just preparing for Larry Brown to see through Leonard.
