Chapter 473: [Refused to be swept]

After playing the Nets, the Bulls flew to Detroit that night to challenge the Pistons back to back.
This was a difficult back-to-back, and the Bulls tactics were not allowed to give up, because they had lost to the Pistons three games, and then lost in the regular season will be swept away.
As a strong team, the Eastern Conference record is second, swept by the opponent is a very embarrassing thing.
The Pistons don't want to lose. They currently have a 49 wins and 11 losses. It is not safe to win 4 more games than the Bulls. 22 games are likely to overtake.
The advantage of the Pistons is that after three days of rest, they are full of energy, but the condition is not very good.
Last game they lost to the Lakers in Los Angeles. Kobe scored 40 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, Odom also had 24 points and 10 rebounds.
The Lakers' winning method is not new. That is to sell Ben Wallace and sandwich Hamilton and Billups.
With the exception of two guards, no one else is good at holding the ball and defending the outside line.
After the Lakers won the game, Barkley made a classic evaluation of the live game. "I think Wang Jun and Kobe are not the tightest in the league. The tightest team in each game is Ben Wallace's teammates."
In order to win the Pistons, Bulls coach Skiles did not arrange a double pick-and-roll for Wang Jun, and did not even let David Lee play, but went to the front line combination of Lor Deng and Nocioni. The center position is Chandler, the periphery Wang Jun, Xin Ritchie.
The Bulls' formation "breeze style", the main defense of long-range shots, want to force the Pistons players to attack inside.
In the first quarter, the Pistons felt hot on the outside. Billups scored two three-pointers with a cold arrow, and the Pistons led 5 points.
In the second quarter, Wang Jun uncharacteristically did not rest, played with Du Hong, Qiong Bari, David Lee, Hayes, and caught the Pistons by surprise.
The two guards can pull apart, Wang Jun and David Lee pick and roll. It's easy to be free.
Hayes is equally critical. Under his defense, veteran McDyess made 1 of 4 shots. In the Pistons' three minutes, only Evans made a three-pointer. Was beaten 11-11 by the Bulls.
When the Pistons returned from the start, they immediately lowered their offensive rhythm and were more patient than the Bulls. After the player missed the shot, four people returned to the defense and organized a defense. Only Ben Wallace was fighting for the frontcourt rebounds.
This is learned from the Nets, they will not sacrifice the overall defense in order to grab the offensive rebound.
Big Ben's rebounding ability is indeed very strong, Skiles knows this, this time he asked the players to give up the fast break, protect the rebound, also rely on position battle and opponent grinding.
The Bulls have many rebounders, and Chandler and David Lee have the best rebounding abilities. Wang Jun and Luo Erdeng are also good at grabbing rebounds. When two or three people shrink into the restricted area, Big Ben simply cannot squeeze in.
At the end of the half, the Bulls led 47 to 41.
In the third quarter, the two teams played more intensely, each ball must fight.
Wang Jun was difficult to shoot under the key care of Prince and Rashid. The teammates did not feel good enough. The Bulls only scored 17 points in this quarter, 64 to 65 behind.
Entering the final quarter, Skiles replaced Chandler and replaced Shanghai Yes. The strikers are Lor Deng and David Lee, and the "killer" comes again.
Skiles could bring the Bulls without Jordan, Pippen, Kukchi, Rodman, Hubble back to the playoffs. It is impossible without two brushes.
In the formation of troops. He will not only arrange the cooperation of the players, but also deliberately expose some flaws, lead his opponent to attack, play psychological warfare, and thus achieve the goal of winning.
Now the Bulls want to attract Rashid to hold the ball and attack the inside. Big Ben went out for pick-and-roll and could wrap two defenders on the perimeter to better prevent shots.
Rashid's pick-and-roll cannot be arbitrarily shorted, at least there will be a chance of a single misplacement, and his range reaches beyond the three-point line.
Even if Rashid is not fooled. Continuing to cover the periphery, Hayes was short. It's better to change the defender than Chandler.
As for the Big Ben attacking Hayes under the basket, Skiles did not consider this possibility at all. Big Ben's offense is not as good as McDyess.
Next, no matter which side of the Pistons attack and pick the pick-and-roll, there will be a quick change of inside players. David Lee's defensive ability in the Bulls' competitive atmosphere has improved a lot compared to when he was in college.
The coach has repeatedly told him that he can't stop it, but he must concentrate on it.
The defender can't pass David Lee in the first step and will be caught immediately, and Ben Wallace will be emptied out. If you hit the other side, the bulls will not be caught and people will stare. Hayes defender is much better.
The Pistons studied the situation of the Bulls before the game, knowing that Hayes is a weakened version of the big book, the defense is very good, not to allow Rashid to go to the basket, Ben Wallace stands inside and waits for opportunities, and David Liding Niu.
The Pistons had no chance to play several pick-and-rolls. Wang Jun switched to Rashid and interfered closely, making it difficult to turn around. Hayes and the defender worked very hard. After shooting a few shots, the advantage went to the Bulls.
Big Ben struggled to grab a rebound in the frontcourt. David Lee was also a master of rebounds. His card pre-judgment is not bad, and his bounce is better than Big Ben. It is not so easy to get.
It was easy to grab it once, and David Lee hit the foul before Big Ben passed the ball and sent him a free throw.
A funny thing happened. Big Ben looked for the referee theory and wanted to explain that this is a pass, not a shot. It should be out of bounds instead of free throws. The referee felt embarrassing for him. Was the free throw so terrible?
For many junior high school players, free throws are also a good thing, but for Big Ben this is a mental torture. Big Ben steadily missed two free throws and David Lee got a rebound.
The Bulls attack, Wang Jun and David Lee pick and roll, take the Ben Wallace side, the big defense comes out, Wang Jun passes the ball in the middle, David Lee holding the ball and attacked Prince foul.
David Lee made two free throws, and his free throw percentage was 75.7%.
David Lee was happy when he returned to defense, and sprayed to Big Ben in the low post. "Man, your free throw is too scum, I will not scum!"
Hearing this, Daben could only be silent, unable to fight back. If he beats David Lee, he will only be worse.
The Pistons could not open the offensive, but Wang Jun started to show his power, counterattacked Rashid one, rushed into the layup and scored. The Bulls fought back in the next round. He fouled Rashid and made two free throws.
Rashid wanted to return another one, relying on height advantage to make a three-point shot, and missed under Wang Jun's interference.
The Bulls counterattacked again, Wang Jun received the ball from the perimeter and played techniques outside the three-point line. UU read books www.uukanshu. com two crotch dribble and then withdrew to take the shot. Rashid didn't dare to pounce too far, didn't cover it, the goal was scored.
The Bulls had been fighting in the position before, and suddenly counterattacked the opponent several times, and the points difference finally widened to double digits.
When the Pistons attacked, Big Ben couldn't get out of the post, and when they went out, they would have a 4 to 5 embarrassment. The one-on-one piston hit rate was not high.
The bench lost too much and the Pistons dared not make substitutions. Prince has been playing with Wang Jun for more than 40 minutes. In addition to Big Ben, the other three main players have also played for a long time.
The Pistons had a rare opportunity for a fast break. Hayes also fouled Big Ben without the ball. The team sent him to the free throw with four fouls. Big Ben missed two free throws.
Sanders reluctantly replaced the big book, replaced McDyess, playing Hayes, David Lee has no advantage. With 1 minute left, the Pistons passing 8 points behind made a mistake, and Hinrich made a single fast layup to secure the victory.
The Bull proved his strength and refused to be swept away!
