367. I dont know what to do!

Amid the cheers of fans at the scene, Ben Wallace won the jump ball and the Pistons attacked first.

"Winning a jump ball is like the New Year." Liu Mang said disdainfully.

Emmanuor laughed dryly on the side. If Pistons fans heard it, they would probably be angry to death.

This is not a pity to the Pistons fans. They have not won the second round for too long. Since Jordan crossed the Pistons' final obstacle in 1990-1991, the Pistons have never recovered. Although they can occasionally make it to the playoffs in the past ten years, even if they chose Grant Hill, who was the All-Star vote champion in his first rookie season in history, they have almost never won the first round. They almost all entered the first round of the playoffs and were swept. They have not seen the team play in the semi-finals at home for ten years. They have not been able to make them happy when they return to home.

The Pistons' lineup is Atkins, Joan Barry, Chris Williams, Clifford Robinson, Ben Wallace, and there is no change in the previous two games.

The Hawks' lineup has not changed.

After Atkins advanced, Clifford Robinson pulled to the bottom corner, Ben Wallace pulled out to give Joan Barry a pick-and-roll, and Chris Williams fell to the low post to ask for the ball.

This tactic is a bit strange. Coach Carlisle has always been good at using some weird tactics, such as Barria defending James, but Mohammed must pull out to defend Clifford Robinson's three-pointer, Ratliff also has to delay Joan Barry after the pick-and-roll, and Chris Williams really has the perfect opportunity to play Raheem alone in a low post.

Atkins hung the ball to Chris Williams, and Raheem pushed hard to defend. Chris Williams wanted too close to the basket, and there was no one else at the basket, and the space was extremely open. Following Raheem's oppressive force, a small hook shot and hit the board.

This is really unpredictable! After the score is in, the Pistons immediately retreated, Raheem picked up the ball and sent it to Jason Terry. The Hawks attacked, and Jason Terry advanced.

To talk about who would make a more "absolute" defense, Popovich is one of them, and Carlisle is definitely the best among them. Dean Grove was completely empty, and Joan Barry retreated to the free throw line and was ready to double-team Raheem or Jason Terry at any time. Atkins followed Jason Terry, Chris Williams followed Raheem, Clifford Robinson and Ben Wallace were holding the basket.

This defense... Jason Terry feels familiar! The opponent's defense does not require pick-and-roll and running at all. And no matter who pick-and-roll with him, there is an extra Joan Barry who can make up for the defense as soon as possible, and then form double-teams immediately.

Mainly there is no one in front of Dean Grove!

Jason Terry immediately passed to Dean Grove.

Dean Grove was a little confused about this big gap! He hesitated for a moment, but he still voted.

"Clang"

Iron-smash!

Sometimes it is important to shoot accurately, determination and focus. Dean Grove's hesitation makes his three-pointer that was not accurate.

Ben Wallace, who was guarding the basket, beat everyone to grab the defensive rebound and continued to suppress the rhythm.

The same tactics are still the same, and the same Chris Williams plays singles.

Chris Williams was originally good at low posts. In the past two days, he probably practiced this style of play, and another turn-around hook hit.

The Pistons played very slowly. It was fourteen or five seconds after Chris Williams received the ball, but when the ball reached Chris Williams, he almost turned around and hooked when he received the ball. This slow and fast rhythm change made it difficult for the Hawks' defense to adapt.

It was the Hawks' offense again, and the Pistons' defense still exposed Dean Grove's gap, and then 5-defying 4-defying, forcing the Hawks to hand the ball to Dean Grove.

Jason Terry had no choice but to pass it to Dean Grove immediately.

Dean Grove missed the last shot, but now the ball is coming again, he has to stop shooting, but he dare not shoot, and becomes even more undecisive. He almost made a three-pointer shot, and the ball fell directly into Clifford Robinson's hands.

At this time, the Pistons had a perfect counterattack opportunity, but they did not play, but slowly passed it to Atkins. Atkins pressed his speed and passed halfway through the violation in nearly 8 seconds.

It still has the same style of play and the same tactics. Chris Williams received the ball with 10 seconds left in the 24-second offensive time. This time Mohammed couldn't hold back and rushed back to the inside to assist in defense. Chris Williams immediately reached the right corner, and Clifford's Robinson received the ball and took a three-pointer...

Missed it! Rahim received the defensive rebound, and the Pistons did not go to grab the rebound, so they returned to defend immediately.

Although he did not make a shot, the Pistons' small-scale cooperation was successful, but he just didn't make a shot.

The Hawks continued to be pushed into the positional battle, and Ben Wallace was present, so the pace couldn't be faster!

Jason Terry did not pass it to Dean Grove this time, but chose to make a breakthrough!

Atkins could not stop Jason Terry's breakthrough, but Joan Barry came up to double-team, so the two of them could defend themselves together. Moreover, the Pistons have always been fighting against big and small moves, and they would concede the ball in the double-team! Jason Terry immediately passed to Raheem, and Raheem wanted to break into the inside when he received the ball. Atkins rushed up immediately, Chris Williams held Raheem to his death, and Atkins wanted to steal from the bottom lane, but Raheem was forced to take two steps and retreat outside the free throw line.

At this time, Raheem withdrew, and Atkins immediately followed Jason Terry, who was outside the three-point line, and Chris Williams stayed at the free throw line and did not go out.

Rahim didn't know what to do at mid-distance!

Suddenly, Joan Barry came over to double-team immediately, Jason Terry was defended from outside the three-point line, and rushing in was too short and it was useless to cut in the air. There were four inside lines under the basket, and the space under the basket was blocked!

Liu Mang looked at the Pistons' defense and watched Rahim's helpless mid-range shooting. The Mavericks' method of dealing with the Heat in the 2011 Finals immediately popped up in his mind, and strangled the two main players of the Hawks to death with their weird defense!

Dean Grove is now like James who didn't have the ball when Wade took the ball in the 2011 Finals. He stood outside the three-point line, but three-pointers were not good. Moreover, he was so far behind James. He couldn't even know how far he had the ball in his hand. The Pistons forced a 5-to-4-on-4-on-the-date end!

Not only that, Rahim became a role like Wade in his youth, without mid-range shots, and was completely at a loss!
Chapter completed!
