Super Lord of the Rings

Chapter 681 [Fear of cows, good luck]

When he first entered the league, Wang Jun was the bitter master of the Pistons. His style of play was similar to that of Hamilton, and he could bully Hamilton with strength. After Wang Jun joined the Bulls, he eliminated the Pistons in the playoffs for two consecutive years.

Before the game started, the Pistons management led by Joe Dumars felt the pressure first. As long as they are eliminated by the Bulls for the third time in a row, this team must disintegrate in the summer, and it will not end well if it continues like this.

Bulls players have an absolute advantage psychologically. Before Chandler and Barnes returned, the Bulls easily defeated the Pistons 100 to 85 in the first game.

After the game, the Chinese media joked that the Pistons suffered from "cowfear", and their substitutes could not score except for McDyess. The mid-term joining of veteran Ratliff did not make the Pistons stronger inside, and they are still a group of blue-collar workers.

On the other hand, the Celtics and Cavaliers played extremely ugly, and the Celtics won 76 to 72 at home.

Of the Big Three, only Garnett played normally, scoring 28 points and 8 rebounds. Pierce made only 2 of 14 shots and missed free throws, scoring 4 points. Ray Allen was even worse, scoring no points.

If it weren't for the veteran Cassel who scored 13 points and played super-level, the Celtics would probably be kneeling at home.

James was in trouble under strict defense. He only made 2 of 18 shots, scored 12 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists. He made 10 turnovers and almost hit a quadruple double.

There was no suspense in the second game between the Bulls and the Pistons, and the role players stood up.

Lewis scored 20 points and 6 rebounds, made three three-pointers, and evacuated the inside very well. Calderon made 5 of 8 three-pointers and scored 22 points and 8 assists. Just looking at the data, he is not inferior to Billups.

Wang Jun scored 31 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists. There is always a way to attract double teams. The Bulls beat the Pistons 108-90.

The Pistons relied on a four-man team to attack, but they still couldn't break through the Bulls' defense. Every year the Bulls use the same tactics against the Pistons. 122 compresses the defense and holds the basket. Strictly prevent Billups and Rasheed from shooting three-pointers, and let others shoot.

As long as the shot is missed, Wang Jun's counterattack is an opportunity, and the Pistons' zone defense can't fall. The Bulls missed the offense, did not grab offensive rebounds at all, and defended quickly to ensure that the zone defense was in position.

The Celtics beat the Cavaliers 93-78 at home, also leading 2-0. The third battle between the two teams will be held in Cleveland on the 11th.

This time the Big Three played normally, scoring double digits. The Cavaliers shot only 35.6% against the opponent's impregnable defense. James made just 6 of 24 shots from the field. Scored 21 points, 6 assists and 7 turnovers.

In this series, James is the man who will become the "King of Mistakes".

The media couldn't praise James even if they wanted to, the performance was too bad. Pierce, Tony Allen, and Garnett defended him very successfully.

The third game between the Bulls and Pistons is held in Detroit.

The morale of the Pistons at home is like a rainbow, and they have lost year after year, and the fans have not abandoned them.

In the opening game, the Pistons changed their previous style of play and opened up the space, allowing Mark Hill to attack the basket with an empty cut.

Mark Hill is 201m tall. He was selected in the first round because of his super physical fitness. He has great strength. Jumping ability and speed are also good.

As soon as he rushed up, Hill and Lewis couldn't stop him. He made two shots in the opening game and gave David Lee a big cap.

Billups also played Calderon. Look for opportunities on the outside, make an emergency stop and jump shot with one step. Calderon has always had problems with single defense, and the defense against breakthroughs is very bad.

The two teams tied for 27 in the first quarter. In the second quarter, the Bulls' shooting percentage dropped sharply. Hill restructured the lineup, allowing Watson and David Lee to lead the bench. Average performance.

Novak's entry into the playoffs is like a different person, defending the colander. Offensively, he averaged only 10 minutes per game, scored 2.7 points and 0.8 rebounds, and averaged 1.5 shots per game. At first glance, 57.1% of the three-pointers are invincible, but in fact they only shoot one three-pointer in a game.

Many players are regular season players and cannot fight tough battles. Novak is one, and so is Watson, who couldn't even play 70% of the level in training.

After Duhon came back, Watson could only be the third substitute. He played about 8 minutes, scored 3.2 points and 1 assist, and shot 34%, but it was better than the veteran guard Brevin Knight who did not make the roster.

The offensive rhythm of the two teams was very slow. The Bulls collectively misfired from the outside and only made 1 of 8 three-pointers. How could the Pistons miss such a good opportunity and quickly opened the score.

With 2 minutes and 25 seconds left in this section, Stuckey made two free throws, he assisted Prince to score a dunk, and Rashid also made a three-pointer. After the Pistons scored 7 points in a row, they led by 14 points.

Wang Jun increased the number of breakthroughs, singled out Prince and scored a layup, assisted David Lee to score in the shot, narrowed the gap slightly, and fell behind 40-50 in the first half.

The Bulls started to show off in the second half. Wang Jun continuously attracted double-teams to break through the ball and assisted Lewis to hit three-pointers. In the second half, Calderon also made two three-pointers. In addition, Wang Jun countered with a three-pointer. , In this quarter, the Bulls made 7 of 8 three-pointers and reversed the disadvantage in one fell swoop.

Prince is recognized as a master of flank defense, and his interference shots and chasing caps are obvious to all. He is not without flaws, his body is thin and his ability to resist is poor. The players who deflated him the most during the regular season were James, Pierce, Wang Jun, Anthony, Wade and several other players.

Relying on his own skills combined with crab steps, Wang Jun singled out Prince and firmly gained the upper hand.

It's a pity that one person's strength is limited after all, and the Bulls' current lineup is only average.

Even if Wang Jun is fine now and trembles like a madman, and his body shakes again and again, there will be no star who can't help but be deeply impressed by his personality charm, and can't help but want to accept his head and worship, and join the Bulls as a junior assistant he.

The NBA trading rules determine that he will be surrounded by this group of people in the playoffs, and he is the only one who is good at attacking with the ball.

In the final quarter, Wang Jun continued to be double-teamed, and his teammates began to fight. Billups and Hamilton scored consecutive points and overtook the score again. The Bulls lost their miracle in the third quarter. They missed all the first 5 three-pointers in this quarter, and the Pistons returned a wave of 7-0.

Not only "teammate ba", Wang Jun also fell into scoring difficulties under the iron-walled defense of the Pistons. He was double-teamed as soon as he broke through, and he would even be double-teamed by three people when he broke through the penalty area. hand.

From 7 minutes and 14 seconds left in this section, Wang Jun failed to make a goal in more than 5 minutes. He didn't make another three-pointer until the end of the game. The Bulls still fell behind 91 to 98.

The Pistons made 2 of 4 free throws at the critical moment, giving the Bulls a chance, but Wang Jun missed a three-pointer. With 18.6 seconds left, the Bulls began to adopt foul tactics. After Billups made two free throws, the Pistons led by 7 points. Lewis still missed a three-pointer and the Bulls lost.

This game greatly stimulated the morale of the Pistons and gave them hope. As a result, I was happy only one night, and the Pistons officially broke the news that Billups missed the fourth game due to injury.

Billups strained his right hamstring during the game and will be out for at least a week.

Luck is also a part of strength. Although the Pistons rookie Rodney Stuckey who replaced Billups has performed well recently, his tactical effect is much worse.

After all, Billups is a veteran who has played hundreds of playoff games, while Stuckey is just a rookie who entered the playoffs for the first time. He is not good at shooting three-pointers, and the Bulls' 122 zone defense is even more difficult to break.

The Bulls unceremoniously won 104 to 89, won the match point away, and led 3 to 1.
