basketball never sleeps

Chapter 168 If they could play on the same team (22)

Before the start of the Eastern Conference Finals, the lively atmosphere in the home team's locker room at the American Airlines Center changed from the usual lively atmosphere. Everyone was just quietly waiting for the game time to arrive.

Da Fan was pacing back and forth in the locker room, pursed his lips, and stared. It was obvious that he wanted to say something, but it was his first time leading a team to the Eastern Conference Finals and he didn't know how to speak.

From time to time, he turned his attention to Ao Pang and Mo Wen, two people with championship experience, but one of the two brothers was listening to music with headphones, and the other was chewing gum with his eyes closed, and neither of them had the intention to stand up.

Mainly because neither of them felt it was necessary.

This is already the fifth time for Ao Pang to do something like this in the regional finals, and Mo Wen, I haven’t counted. According to the random probability of the dungeon space, I think we have to play once every 3 to 5 days.

There is no need to say too much to boost morale. As long as you are not deaf and can hear the cheers of the fans on the sidelines, there is no chance of slacking off.

If you have this time, you might as well rest more.

Anyway, they did everything they could arrange and prepare.

Moreover, apart from physical strength, there is actually nothing to prepare for fighting the Pistons.

Mo Wen ran around the waist of the court twice, and the distance between him and Prince made other Pistons players consider switching defenses.

"Are there fewer people? That's right, just these five people, right? Three sophomores in the second team, plus two inside players who have performed well in the second half of the regular season. Hey, if they can be on the same team

If we play here, the league will probably come to an end."

"Yeah, you can see the unity between them during the All-Stars, but when it comes to the best, I always feel like there's someone missing..." Kenny Smith echoed.

If you go now, you might as well have a passionate exchange with this old man, which is boring.

As far as the data from the first two rounds is concerned, the overall shooting percentage of the participating teams has reached the peak in eight years, and the boring defensive battles of previous years seem to be a thing of the past.

And Miami beach girls say underwear is actually not that necessary.

The Pistons' tactics haven't changed much since they won the championship last year.

Heat starting lineup: Wade, Mo Wen, Rasul, Haslem, O'Neal;

It is only a three-day rest period, and the injuries of O'Neal and Wade will only be treated. It is not impossible for the injuries to recur or worsen in subsequent games.

Anthony, who had just finished flying the leaves at home, looked at the picture in a daze, and listening to the explanation, he always felt that something was not quite right.

The full-court press and rim-shrinking zone defense that were so common in the past have become much less common.

Billups saw that he couldn't play fast break, so he dribbled the ball leisurely across the half court and observed the position of a wave of Heat players.

Facing Wade's defense, he didn't call it a screen. He directly changed his hands in both directions, shook his hands twice, stepped on the cross step, and then rushed to the inside.

It’s the same meal. Eating with your boss and eating with your brothers definitely don’t feel the same.

After being teammates for a year and being opponents for several games, many things can actually be expressed without words.

Back to the game, with the DJ shouting, players from both teams came to the court one after another.

In the middle circle, after the referee's whistle, Rashid easily picked the basketball in front of O'Pang, who had a lot of leg injuries.

In the TNT studio, Buckley nodded with satisfaction.

This arrangement is the result of the Heat's internal discussions. Wade still has an injury on his leg and cannot serve as an attacker for a long time as usual.

"Tacit cooperation, beautiful dunk! It's hard to believe that the Heat's first goal came from Mo's alley-oop dunk.

He wanted to talk to Catherine about relieving his mood in life, but his gentle "eldest" sister Ruth looked too closely.

Although the Heat's record against the Pistons in the regular season is 3 wins and 1 loss.

"Hey, there are a lot of familiar people on the sidelines today - LeBron, Milicic, and Chris Bosh. Do these two of the best players in the 2003 class have a good relationship?"

Even eight teams such as the Suns, Mavericks, Spurs, SuperSonics, Nets, and Bulls have scored more points in the playoffs than in the regular season.

One season is enough time for the coaches of each team to study and understand the secret of the Pistons' success.

Wade, who was focused, reacted very quickly, found the right angle, and threw the ball into the sky above Mo Wen's path.

Mo Wen is very aware of the current strength of this Piston.

However, Billups was not very satisfied after scoring, but shook his head regretfully. He was not pretending, because he had heard that Wade was injured before, so his goal was actually a verification.

Summer has already entered in Miami in May, and the cool-dressed cheerleaders used their hot dance moves to ignite the heat in the hearts of the fans in advance.

Without leaving much time for the Pistons players to hesitate, Mo Wen seized the few gaps in the Pistons' formation, cut in, and reached out to Wade for the ball.

Wait until he sends the piston off, then go there and appreciate his expression, that will be exciting.

They can also easily sweep Green Kai, which has four star players, in 4 games. This lineup, which is strong in offense and weak in defense, has scored less than 80 points in a single game twice.

Prince's bamboo pole shape and double-door refrigerator shoulders give him an excellent coverage advantage in single defense, but it also makes it difficult for him to squeeze through the pick-and-roll smoothly.

Due to the changes in NH rules, this year's playoffs have become quite intense.

2:0.

Turning around, the Pistons players had surprised looks on their faces when they saw the Heat's offensive lineup.

After several passes, Rashid faced Haslem's resistance from the mid-range and threw the ball in without changing his expression due to his height and arm length advantage.

The Pistons were still the same as last year, lowering their own score and that of their opponents by 4 points after entering the playoffs.

Heat fans also cooperated with their cheers and applause.

Most teams in the NBA have a policy that prohibits cheerleaders from wearing underwear to ensure appearance.

Later, CCTV also knew how to put a vase and raise a leg. Now in the national service, you can only see a few old men in the commentary room chatting about popular science.

The Heat's ball handler actually changed from Mo Wen to Wade.

During the warm-up, Mo Wen looked at his old teammates one by one. Except for Prince, who had a paralyzed face and showed no reaction, everyone else gave Mo Wen a malicious smile.

Wade, who was played by Mo Wen every day, naturally would not be fooled by such a low-level trick. After he put Billups inside the three-point line, he quickly challenged him and forced him to pass the ball to other players.

teammate.

If the rules didn't allow it, the Heat would have even wanted to let the Pistons serve the ball directly, so that O'Brien could get into position earlier and save a few steps.

Mo Wen's off-the-ball ability won't go into too much detail. With his rich experience, he can seize loopholes, run in space, and catch the ball and shoot. These are all simple things.

What's more, the current status of the two teams is also very different.

In fact, it would be good to let Wade deal the cards in a high position and occasionally use two to maintain deterrence.

Haha, I just said that, like Steve, Mo will not hold back when he hits his old club. Look at the previous games where he didn’t buckle any open space. Look at today, even the three Pistons are surrounding him.

Come here and he still wants to dunk, that’s what a man is!”

They can defend the 76ers, who have the "four shooting guards" + "four power forwards" combination of Iverson and Webber, and average less than 90 points per game.

Mo Wen was so busy that he treated the team's tactics class as rest time in the first two days.

Pistons starting lineup: Billups, Hamilton, Prince, Ben, Rasheed;

Prince is tall and has long arms. In theory, as long as he cannot get rid of him through speed and strength, he will always have to face his defensive cover.

Before the Pistons could figure out what the Heat were selling, Mo Wen, like Hamilton, moved without the ball and started running with Prince.

But the problem is that there is no absolutely perfect defense in this world.

Good times are still ahead of us.

But among the audience in the front row, three trendy men attracted everyone's attention.

It can be seen that the league intends to introduce the offensive trend of the regular season into the playoffs.

At this time, in the eyes of most experts, offense is the answer to this version.

However, if the whistle blowing scale is different, this kind of victory or defeat does not have much reference value.

Unfortunately, due to issues with the broadcast agreement (non-event content cannot be broadcast), domestic fans will not be able to see this scene.

Before the game, Mo Wen thought about whether to go to the visiting team's locker room to say hello to his old brothers, but after thinking about it, it was still the Larry Brown version there, so he didn't go.

The Heat, who had already expected a shrinking formation, quickly completed their defensive positioning.

There are also various data that seem to prove that the era of offense has arrived.

Until he accidentally saw his own figure in the makeup mirror held by the female companion next to him.

It's a pity that Wade hasn't been hurt enough to bully just anyone.

However, if you focus on the Pistons, it is not difficult to find that the tough defense has not left.

With the deep sleep mechanism of the dungeon space, he wouldn't have to exert much physical energy, it was mainly due to mental fatigue.

Bang!

2:2.

Mo Wen does have some bold ideas, but now is obviously not the time to put them into practice.

But understanding is one thing, being able to break it is another.

He grabbed the mirror and looked at himself, then looked at the three people sitting side by side in the audience and the two people fighting on the court on the TV.

Scratching your head.

After a little thought - calm analysis - a sudden realization dawned.

Probably, it seems, as if, he is isolated?

Mission accomplished, I can go to bed at 3 o'clock today, with tears in my eyes
