Chapter 245 Eastern Conference Finals: Hamilton who couldn't get the ball, Yao who was bypassed
The first game of the Eastern Conference Finals!
The starting lineup of both parties:
Detroit Pistons: PG: Chauncey Billups, SG: Richard Hamilton, SF: Tyshaun Prince, PF: Rasheed Wallace, C: Ben Wallace
Philadelphia 76ers: PG: Andre Miller, SG: Allen Iverson, SF: Han Mo, PF: Wang Zhizhi, C: Yao Ming.
This year's Detroit Pistons did not have the training of Larry Brown, so their defensive efficiency has not reached the league's only level. With the defensive instincts of this team, the defensive efficiency ranks fifth in the league, which is naturally excellent.
And because of Rick Carlisle's addition to offensive attributes, the Detroit Pistons' offense is not as stagnant as in the previous life. On the contrary, although there are no gorgeous offensive superstars, only Billups' passing ability and Hamilton With a smooth running position, the Pistons' offensive efficiency this season is also among the top six in the league, which can be described as a balanced offense and defense!
But the team with the most balanced offense and defense depends on the Philadelphia 76ers!
Second in the offensive league, second only to the Kings!
No. [-] in the defensive league, stand out from the crowd!
Larry Brown didn't arrange any special tactics against the Pistons, it was the simplest man-to-man!
One by one, go and hug the five piston tigers to death!
And that's enough!
Han Mo has been entangled with Chauncey Billups from the very beginning of the game. As the engine of this civilian team, whether Chauncey Billups can get off to a good start is very important!
Compared with the big names that Han Mo defended all the way, Billups' quality is obviously far from enough!
Richard Hamilton originally thought that his old enemy Han Mo would be defending him, but unexpectedly it was Allen Iverson who was half a head shorter than him!
This almost made him laugh out loud!
Hamilton felt that his chance to explode had come!
However, after running a section of the race, Hamilton found that something was a little wrong!
Originally, Allen Iverson went to defend Hamilton, which was a steady profit for the Pistons. Hamilton said that he could not run to death. Using Iverson to defend Hamilton would consume a lot of energy, even if Iverson could completely defend against Hamilton. , That is also profitable for the Pistons!
However, Iverson followed Hamilton for three rounds and stopped running!
Because Hamilton couldn't catch the ball at all!
Richard Hamilton gritted his teeth angrily:
"How did Billups pass the ball today? I ran five open spots, and it's not bad if he can pass one! If you play like this, I'll run a yarn!"
"One-on-one against Han Mo? Do you have the ability?"
While Billups was singled out with Han Mo one by one, he felt so miserable!
"Who said I don't pass the ball? I can't pass the ball either!"
Han Mo completely blocked Billups' passing route, just let him go to shoot!
"Vote, vote boldly!" Han Mo grinned, "If you are capable, vote us to death today!"
Is Chauncey Billups a bad shooter?
That's definitely not bad!
In this year's playoffs, Chauncey Billups averaged 38.9 points per game with 35.1% field goal percentage and 16.7% three-point field goal percentage!
Among the defenders in the playoffs, they are already above average!
But can he really kill the 76ers?
That's obviously a challenge!
In terms of Billups' firepower output, it is not a problem for him to score 20+ points in one or two playoff games, but let him explode and score 40 points, or even 50 points to win the playoffs with a single core. Tournament-level confrontation!
Not to mention the 76ers, he has never done it against any playoff opponent!
It's not that I don't want to do it, it's that I really don't have the ability!
The level of scoring ability is far from enough!
With Billups' pass route blocked, the Pistons quickly lost 80:89 in their first game!
The second game was still the same. Although Carlisle no longer concentrated the ball in the hands of Billups alone, and let Prince, Hamilton, and Billups take turns to hold the ball, the result was similar!
Han Mo is like a fire extinguisher, wherever there is a fire, no matter who has just felt it, Han Mo immediately goes forward to put it out!
Whenever the Pistons' offense went smoothly in one round, Han Mo immediately used Bill Russell's ability to assist defense!
One defense two!
One against three!
No ambiguity!
The 76ers made the whole team of the Pistons understand a truth, what is called true defense to win the championship!
In the next few games, Allen Iverson continued to do something similar to the regular season: like Hamilton, his legs never stopped running continuously on the offensive end!
Continuous cut without the ball, bounce outside, catch the ball and score!
Allen Iverson: A real off-ball master!
Richard Hamilton: An off-ball shooter who can't get the ball!
But it was not Iverson who really defeated the Detroit Pistons on the offensive end, but Yao Ming!
Big Ben, who was the league's first team defense this season: Before Ben Wallace played against Yao Ming, he didn't take this yellow man seriously at all!
In the regular season matchup, the real right to shoot is still concentrated on Iverson!
Yao Ming didn't have many chances in the face of Big Ben's defense.
Facing Yao Ming in the playoffs, Ben Wallace still followed suit!
Continue to defend around the front!
But the difference is that Yao Ming revealed his bloodthirsty side at this time: "Didn't you go around the front defense? Then after I received the ball, wouldn't you just lose your position?"
In his previous life, Yao Ming was really afraid of going around and defending!
One is because Yao Ming was overweight at the time, and his speed was almost at the bottom of the center position. Most centers can rely on their own moving speed and jumping height to hinder Yao Ming from receiving the ball.
The second reason is that at that time, all members of the Rockets' outside pass level were very hip, even if Yao Ming could squeeze out opportunities to catch the ball while defending around the front.Which of the Rockets' guards can pass the ball to Yao Ming?
Yao Ming once recalled that in his Rockets career, the best pass he ever received was from Mark Jackson in the last year of his career.
And Andre Miller is obviously no worse than Mark Jackson at the end of his career in terms of passing ability!
Although his passes are not gorgeous, they can always be delivered to Yao Ming at the most appropriate time!
Go around and defend Yao Ming?
In this case, it is no different from no one defending Yao Ming!
Yao Ming easily received the open pass and made a series of cruel dunks!
When Ben Wallace still wants to make up, he can only come as a background board!
Buckle Ben Wallace not only ached in his muscles, but also in his heart.
As the best defensive player ever, Han Mo ranked No.2 in the best defensive player ranking for two consecutive times after entering the league!
He really couldn't guard against this big yellow man!
When the Pistons were helped by Yao Ming with a 36+13 crit to help the 76ers make another victory, the Pistons gave Yao Ming the highest treatment that O'Neal can enjoy:
Double Wallace combo!
One in front and one in back, double-teamed Yao Ming!
This is obviously a new challenge for Yao Ming. The difficulty for Yao Ming to score in the face of double Wallace has increased exponentially!
But Wang Zhizhi was released again!
