Chapter 863: Joint defense

Eddie Curry missed the Pistons' expedition because of "illness".
The Pistons were vague about Curry's condition, and the outside world didn't know what was going on with Curry. If it wasn't for the league to put pressure on them, they wouldn't even explain why.
In the end, the team used a "gastroenteritis" to pass by.
The Detroit media was overjoyed: "So, next time we see Eddie again, his posture may be lighter?"
Anyone who has suffered from gastroenteritis knows that this disease is very painful. When the attack occurs, it will basically occupy the bathroom. Loss of appetite and continuous diarrhea will quickly lose weight. A serious illness can lose ten pounds of meat, so Pistons media has this impression.
Although Curry has not yet become a star player, but fans love the house and Ukraine, no matter how hard it is to hate the baby this team picked with the third pick.
Plus Curry's replacement of Miller's starting game changed the Pistons game.
From the day Curry turned to the starter, the Pistons were on the right track. So far this season, he has averaged 11 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 2.4 blocks and 4 bad turnovers and 5 fouls per game.
Six free throws are almost every game he keeps.
But he learns quickly, less and less like a high school student.
Curry's play-free card also made people not expect the Pistons to go away this time, they can win at most 1 win, this is the outside view.
The first away game was Chicago, where the Bulls, the opponent, met a rival and did not need to mobilize. That night, the Pistons half-really rehearsed the tactics and defeated the Bulls.
Miller returned to the starting lineup, playing the season's masterpiece, 17 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, from inside to outside shows that he is an excellent Princeton center.
Then, the Pistons took a special plane overnight and went to the second away game to challenge the Philadelphia 76ers, the strongest opponent before the All-Star weekend.
This season's 76ers changed the team building policy that used Iverson as the absolute core for many years. Duncan became the lead brother. Although Iverson was dissatisfied with this decision, he was not right with people and maintained a harmonious relationship with Duncan. Dissatisfied with Larry Brown who made this decision.
The conflict between Brown and Iverson is getting bigger and bigger. Philadelphia media suspects that some of them will leave the team next season.
At this time, the piston came.
At present, all contradictions must be put on hold.
Wells Fargo Center Arena
Mo Mengchen wholeheartedly warmed up to shoot, not affected by fans.
Even if the fans at the scene interfered with his warm-up, they resorted to various methods, such as screaming, shouting, swearing, and risking being blasted out of the arena by security guards to display beautiful photos of the stars.
All these times have not exerted any influence on Mo Mengchen.
"This is a killer with no emotion."
"Dad, the people here don't have a good taste." Randolph commented on the taste of the fans on the scene. "It's sad to be tempted to take Lisa Ann, a woman with silicone all over her body."
Mo Mengchen threw the ball to Randolph: "Don't show off your knowledge."
"Yes!" Randolph couldn't help but glanced at the scene.
The fan was finally pulled out of the crowd by the security guard because of bad habits, and he retired in the voice of the "RealMan" of most male fans.
After all, the NBA, which is facing the world, is no longer the chaotic era that can pull away the fancy posters to distract the away players’ free throws, and can flood the court to announce the leading team’s championship in advance five seconds before the finals. Too.
It is worth mentioning that these two things were especially common in the 1980s, known as the golden age of the NBA.
After the warm-up, the two sides will start.
The change on the Pistons side is that Miller returned to the starting center position, and the 76ers have changed a lot.
Their starters were Iverson, Snow, Mark Haprin, Derek Coleman and Duncan.
There are three champions in the 1990s in the starting lineup.
In this lineup, Duncan is the center and Coleman averaged 15 points per game as the third attacker.
But the Sixers are currently unable to threaten the No. 1 position in the Eastern Pistons, with a difference of 5 wins between the two teams.
The Pistons do not consider whether they will be caught up by the 76ers. What they should be alert to is the Western Powers, especially the Spurs. The two sides are only 2 wins away. If they are not careful, they may be dismounted from the league.
"The game is about to start."
Rashid and Duncan jumped the ball.
Duncan's prediction was in place and he hit the ball in Rashid's hands.
Iverson moved fast with the ball, Mo Mengchen retreated quickly, and it was basically impossible to start with a surprise attack.
The raid failed and Iverson could only slow down the pace.
He noticed that Mo Mengchen's position was slightly inside, and yes, the Pistons again put on a joint defense.
The joint defense does not work for all teams. If the opponent is a team that can shoot good shots, the joint defense is likely to kill itself, but if the opponent is the 76ers who are not good at shooting three points, or it can be said that they hate three. For a team that scores a ball, that's fine.
Few old coaches who coached in the 1970s will like joint defense. They think it will hurt the player's sense of responsibility, because the core of joint defense is to defend the opponent through the strength of five people. Individual defense is not critical. The key Is collective.
Using collectives will make players dependent on collectives, and thus will not care about personal defense.
The idea is not wrong, but it depends on the situation. For a team like the Pistons, there is Mo Mengchen, and they dare not relax.
The emergence of joint defense is a kind of damage to traditional big men, and it is even more tortured for the elf guard who is a breakthrough like Iverson.
On the left low side, Duncan stuck Miller, the ape arm was open, and he took the initiative to ask for the ball.
Almost as soon as basketball passed to the stone Buddha, Rashid immediately gave up Coleman, who was acting like a turtle, and went to Duncan's position.
Miller's single defense was terrible, but with Rashid, Duncan couldn't help it. He couldn't stay in the pass and couldn't see Coleman's position. Duncan had to dribble the ball from the low left to the three-point line and pass wide to the outside.
Outside, Coleman received a large cross from Duncan and was named by Malone as the champion of "I can be the best player in history with such diligence". He took a step back and made a 3-pointer jump shot.
Coleman was hailed as the No. 1 Buckley when he debuted, because he has a small forward-like offense like Buckley.
Although his later development made him a unique Coleman-this is not to praise him-but his three-pointer is also like his original template Barkley, can shoot but unstable.
This empty 3-pointer fully demonstrates this feature.
The Pistons' defense started to work. Coleman's three-pointer rolled out of the basket. Mo Mengchen grabbed a defensive rebound and struck away Iverson who wanted to get close. He was strong and strong, and reached the frontcourt. After attracting the defenses of Hapling and Snow to the side, they scored the ball outside.
Devil's Mountain keeps up and returns a three-pointer.
The difference is that he voted.

"In comparison, the Pistons are far more disciplined than the 76ers, and they played too messy." Tonight's commentator Joel Meyers shook his head.
His partner is the former NBA coach PJ Callesimo. Since he was strangled by the madman, his coaching career has also entered the twilight period. The madman has been heavily punished. He also has a bad reputation. Sitting on the commentary table and instructing Jiangshan.
"The Pistons' discipline and tactics are textbook-level. Every coach cherishes their games. They have great talents but are willing to do one thing after another." Carlesimo said, "In my opinion Come, that’s why they succeeded."
When Carlesimo's words just fell, Duncan once again suppressed Miller's position, received Iverson's pass, turned around, and roared Tianzun's bag.
Miller gave a high-intensity confrontation, but here is the home of the 76ers, how can the referee watch him make extra moves without being indifferent-do you think you are Dor.Mo?
"Beep!"
The whistle sounds and the ball advances, 2+1.
Duncan turned around without changing his face, beckoning Iverson to pass the ball and then throwing in a penalty.

"Seeing Brad Miller's defense, the Detroit people must have missed Eddie Curry who has suffered gastroenteritis."
"There is no doubt that Brad's defense is too bad!"
Miller hates others to judge his defense~EbookFREE.me~ He knows that it is a shortcoming, he has been changing, but God has given him a limited talent, even if he does his best to defend, he cannot be a good defender.
Under the Pistons system, he can respond to Duncan's offense.
The response ball was quickly played.
In the high field of the front, Mo Mengchen turned to Miller. At the same time, Hill and Ginobili shifted, and Mo Mengchen cut in the middle.
Miller's pass was not flashy. He simply hung the ball high and gave Mo Mengchen to the basket. Coleman's defensive air is majestic but has no deterrent effect. Mo Mengchen does not even disdain fake moves, with a finger, he makes a layup.
5 to 3
Coleman's defense is speechless, Brown really can't believe they even replaced Ratliff with this guy back, although his offense is much stronger than the latter, but hit the playoffs, to fight hard , He may not be easier to use than Ratliff.
Iverson started at full speed, intending to tear the piston's defense.
The Pistons made him feel the power of a joint defense before Iverson joined the dream team to accept the baptism of FIBA ​​joint defense.
Iverson rushed into his pocket. He could see the passer, but he was not sure if there was a trap.
The piston's oppression came closer. He had no choice but to pass, otherwise he would be caught.
"Love is hard to come by!"
Unsurprisingly, Iverson's pass was intercepted by Mo Mengchen.
His offense was all expected by the Pistons, the pass was interrupted, the counterattack was imminent, and the 76ers' back defense could not stop the Pistons from running home.
In an instant, the ball has fallen into his own basket.
