After the start of the second half, the Pistons took the lead.

This group of Pistons players has rich experience, and everyone knows that this cannot continue. If the Hawks continue to have an advantage in the third quarter, the pressure will increase.

The interior is in a disadvantageous situation, and the backcourt combination of Billups and Hamilton takes on more offensive tasks.

In order to prevent Paul from being beaten hard by Billups while sitting down with his big butt, Joe Johnson could not keep up with Hamilton in off-ball defense; Ke Yan kept using Paul to fight Hamilton, and Joe Johnson was misaligned to defend Billups.

This arrangement reduces the pressure on the Eagles' defensive end, but it is ultimately a misplaced defense. The Eagles start from Hamilton's point to open up the situation, whether it is a mid-range jumper from the "14 open run tactic" or holding the ball in an emergency

In isolation, Hamilton can send the ball to the basket. He takes more responsibility on the offensive end, and other Pistons players can contribute more on the defensive end. The Pistons began to slowly eat away at the Hawks' lead.

Although the Pistons' five Tigers are often mentioned together, if we analyze them separately, Billups won the MVP; Ben is the most recognized player and is known as the "king-level" blue-collar; Rashid Ward

Rais took the most money from the Pistons; Hamilton's personal accolades were relatively modest.

However, in the past four seasons, Hamilton has always been the Pistons' scoring leader, and his contribution to the team is not just about scoring!

"Defend with all your might to defend, and attack with due diligence." For a team-based team like the Pistons, if there is no movement and interspersion to create local opportunities to play more and play less, then the lack of personal ability at each point will be instantly apparent. It's like

A lake of clear water has no flow or waves. It seems calm, but over time it becomes a stagnant water. And Hamilton, who is running, is the pebble that causes ripples. The clear water of the Pistons lake has fluctuations, thus accumulating small streams.

Accepting hundreds of rivers, they become rivers and seas, and the flowing water does not rot.

Hamilton played the entire third quarter and scored 15 points in a single quarter, helping the team narrow the point difference to 6 points at the end of the third quarter. 80:74

"Sean, in the last quarter of the game, I need you to contribute more on the offensive end. The Pistons are not an opponent that we can easily win according to conventional tactics. All the advantages of the matchup must be used. Their defensive focus is on

For kg and Joe, once you can get the ball in a comfortable position, don't be soft on Hamilton! After all, he is so much shorter than you!"

"Joe, I need you to move more without the ball to involve their defense! I know this is difficult, but we have no retreat!"

"Chris, don't be timid when it's time to break through! You are not only the future of the team, but also our leader. We need you to cross the threshold of Billups, just like Jordan crossed Isaiah."

Thomas does that!”

"Boris, be tougher! The pressure on kg is already great, you must help him share more responsibilities!"

From the "vulnerable" Nets to the rock-solid Pistons, Ke Yan's "difficulty preparation" was somewhat inadequate. Fortunately, the current score is 80:74, leading by 6 points, and the advantage is mine!

As soon as the fourth quarter started, neither side did any testing, and the main players just came on the scene and got started!

Facing Prince's defense, Joe Johnson directly dropped to the low post with his back, held the ball and hit it hard twice, then suddenly turned around and made a fadeaway jumper. 82:74

In the first three quarters of the game, Prince's long arms clearly restricted Joe Johnson's defense. The latter took 13 shots and hit 6 goals, which was not very efficient. In handling this ball, Joe Johnson's backwards

The amplitude was larger and the shooting point was lower. Prince was a little careless.

When the Pistons attacked, Billups set up a high pick-and-roll with Rasheed Wallace after halftime, using the space he originally had to break through to the basket. Even though Garnett was very fast and basically didn't lose his position when guarding the pick-and-roll,

Billups was determined to attack the basket.

Diaw moved in in time to help protect the frame. McDyess missed the baseline. Billups jumped to pass the ball and passed the ball to McDyess. The latter made a mid-range shot!

When the Hawks attacked, Garnett took the initiative to drop down low. McDyess chose to go forward and defend, raising his hands above his head and swinging back and forth, trying to prevent Joe Johnson from lobbing the ball to Garnett.

".

"The forward defense is a great test of the passing skills of the defenders. Under this kind of defense, the passer can only risk sending it to Garnett through a lob, but the Eagles have no shortage of good passes.

hand.

Diaw took the initiative to pull out, but Rashid Valais did not dare to follow, otherwise the inside line would be left to Garnett.

Rasheed Wallis refused to follow, Diaw caught the ball, pointed to a position towards Garnett, and then walked to the baseline, forcing McDyess to let go of Garnett, come to help defend, and randomly passed the ball with an "inverted triangle"

, Garnett caught the ball comfortably, went straight to the basket, and scored a dunk! 84:76.

"Oh my God, what happened to the Pistons' defense? They were humiliated like this by Diaw. Diaw really pointed to that area and told the Pistons, I want to pass the ball here. The Pistons were stunned to let Garnett relax in this position.

Get the ball and hit the basket!" Meteor Rain found it a bit incredible. This scene was similar to when Bird pretended to say, "I'm going to kill you here."

The Pistons' offense was still steady. Hamilton passed through the baseline. The Eagles players in front of him tried their best to defend, but they were still disrupted by the "walls" of the Pistons. As soon as they reached an open space, the ball was passed sideways.

This is the most comfortable way for Hamilton to get the ball. He catches the ball, turns his body sideways, and raises his hand to pick the ball. Everything is as perfect as training.

Looking at Paul who had just caught up to him, Hamilton smiled disdainfully, ignored his opponent's expression, turned around and ran towards his own half.

The Eagles attacked, Paul controlled the ball, Joe Johnson ran towards the corner, Prince stared at him without giving an inch, Joe Johnson suddenly ran back again, he quickly caught up, but bumped into Diaw, instinctively

He continued to chase Joe Johnson who was receiving the ball, but saw Joe Johnson silently pass the ball back to Diaw, who made the same choice as Garnett and smashed the ball into the basket! 86

:78

The Eagles players, as if they had made a promise, will finish the offense with a dunk whenever they have the chance!

The Hawks had many offensive routines and the coordination was very beautiful; as for the Pistons, they watched the Hawks put down the ball for 21 seconds and destroyed the ball out of the baseline. As a result, Billups hit the ball on Battier's back and then jumped onto the court.

The inside ball and mid-range shot were successful, bringing the score back to 6 points!

The two sides were in a back-and-forth stalemate until the last two minutes. The Eagles barely maintained their lead, leading by 5 points at 103:98.

The Eagles attacked with the most "safe" offensive method. Paul and Garnett played a pick-and-roll. After finding the gap, they passed the ball to Garnett. Rasheed Wallace promptly assisted in defense. Garnett used

He hit his shoulder hard twice and forced a shot, but Wallace interfered by jumping and the ball missed the basket without any surprise.

The rebound was protected by Prince who was on the side. Prince was the Pistons' main force in fast breaks. He picked off the backboard and immediately sprinted straight to the frontcourt with his long legs!

When most people have a physical crisis, the "pig rush" may be a good offensive method. The Eagles can't stop Prince, so Joe Johnson can only use a foul to send Prince to the free throw line.

Come and get a chance to breathe.

"Boom!" At the critical moment, Prince missed the first free throw, and the fans cheered in unison!

"Yes!" Ke Yan also waved his fist in celebration on the sidelines. At this time, every point is crucial!

Prince's second free throw was also inaccurate. However, before the Eagles fans could cheer, the tall and long-armed Wallace unexpectedly "picked melons from the back of the head" behind Diaw, grabbed the offensive rebound, and then wiped the board to score.

!103:100,

"It's okay, it's okay, hit them back!" No matter how dissatisfied Ke Yan was, he would not show it at this time. He kept encouraging the players to adjust their mentality and play well in the next offensive round.

However, compared to the stability of their mentality, the Pistons are obviously stronger than the Hawks. Paul and Garnett's high pick-and-roll route was a bit dead, and Billups stole the ball. Paul immediately fouled and sent Billups to the free throw line.

!

"Paul! This is a completely unnecessary foul! Billups's speed is not so easy to launch a fast break counterattack!" Meteor Rain said with crazy emotion.

No matter how mature he appears, in the final analysis, this is only Paul's second year in the league. At the most critical moment, Paul exposed his immature side!

Everyone knows Billups' big heart. After steadily hitting two free throws, the point difference was only 1 point. 103:102

“Ke Yan hasn’t called a timeout yet?

.

.

He didn’t yell. He chose to believe in the players on the field." Zhang Liang said with emotion.

Falling into position, Garnett continued to move up to pick and roll for Paul. Of course, it was more of a formality than a pick and roll.

During the entire pick-and-roll process, before Billups could touch Garnett's body, Garnett suddenly accelerated towards the basket and began to run counterattack.

Seeing Garnett's move of feinting a shot, Paul tacitly used a hit pass to Garnett's hand through the gap in the crowd.

The latter only took one dribble after receiving the ball. Faced with Rasheed Wallace's defense, he almost took off forcefully and completed the confrontation with Wallace in the air.

The referee's whistle sounded and Hualaishi committed a foul!

But this wave of offense was not over yet. After the collision, Garnett leaned back and locked his eyes on the basket, holding the ball steadily with one hand.

"Whoa!" said a crisp voice. Garnett sat on the floor, making a fist with one hand, enjoying the cheers of the fans in the audience!

If the extra free throws are made and the Eagles lead by 4 points with 40 seconds remaining, the Eagles' chance of winning is over 90%.

Time seemed to freeze in the entire Phillips Center. It was not until the sound of the basketball passing through the net sounded again that everyone's hanging hearts were settled.

Sanders called a timeout to arrange the final tactics, and Ke Yan replaced Milicic on the court to strengthen the defense.

After setting up, guiding the ball, and starting to run, within a few moments, the Pistons still insisted on playing a mobile positional battle.

Paul put his hand on Hamilton's waist, and Hamilton, as if he couldn't see him, walked slowly at the high position of the Eagles half court. The two of them walked side by side like friends.

Suddenly starting, Hamilton, like an agile rabbit, went around Billups on the outside, jumped sideways between Billups and Joe Johnson, who was guarding him, and immediately hit Paul who was pursuing him hard.

He shook it off fiercely, squeezed into the inside again, then surrounded the three-second zone, started from the baseline, reversed a circle, came to Prince who was holding the ball, stretched out his hand and almost snatched the ball from his hand, and quickly took action.

,hit!106:104

The goal was beautiful, but there were 23 seconds left in the game. In other words, the Pistons had no other way. They had to steal the ball from the Eagles and hit the ball quickly; otherwise, they would foul immediately and have a "penalty shootout" with the Eagles.

.

The Hawks have two players, Paul and Joe Johnson, who shoot nearly 90% of their free throws. This is Ke Yan's capital to fight opponents in a penalty shootout in times of crisis. The Pistons have the big heart of Billups and the stable player of Hamilton.

The scorer is not bad, but the problem is that the Eagles are in the lead and they are the banker!

Flip Saunders on the sidelines was confused and could only hope that the players would steal the ball, otherwise it would be very difficult.

However, Ke Yan did not intend to fight a penalty shootout with them. Facing the Pistons' half-court pressure defense, Diaw directly threw the ball to Battier, who everyone thought could not catch the ball, and the receiving position was already in

Near the center line.

.

.

Battier ran forward, and Prince hurried behind him, but still couldn't stop Battier before he sent the ball into the basket! Watching Battier hit this shot.

The clinching layup.108:104

Strictly speaking, with Prince's subsequent defensive actions, there was no problem in chasing him for a foul, but the referee was a little softer.

The Pistons insisted on not giving up, and Hamilton continued to find shooting opportunities through off-the-ball movements and constant screens from his teammates, shooting from outside the three-point line.

"Boom!"

This wonderful sound of iron announced the victory of the Eagles!

Although the Pistons continued to foul and sent Garnett to the free throw line to brush up his statistics, setting his game data at 34 points, 12 rebounds and 3 blocks; although Billups subsequently hit a three-pointer; the Hawks won

The result cannot be changed.

110:107! After a hard battle, the Eagles won the first victory of this series!

After the game, the players from both sides did not shake hands. This is a common practice in the playoffs. Unless they are particularly good friends, they will only hug and greet each other at the end of the series.

Ke Yan sat on the sidelines for a long time before slowly calming down his emotions. The last time he directed a game so fiercely was the series between the Lakers and the Spurs two years ago. Unknowingly, two years have passed!

In the post-match interview, media reporters asked Keyan to comment on this match.

"This should be the most exciting playoff game so far, right? We are very close to the Pistons in terms of strength, and both of us have the possibility of winning. I don't want to say that we have a better grasp of the details of key goals, because

Looking at the second half alone, we were even the losing side. The Pistons' tenacity exceeded my imagination. This is just the beginning of a series, and we still have a lot of work to do!" Ke Yan said seriously.

"The Cavaliers are about to face the Heat. Which team do you think can break through?"

"The impact of Wade's injury is still quite big. Maybe the Cavaliers have a better chance? But I really.

.

.

." Ke Yan made a "you know" expression and immediately amused the reporters at the scene.

Ke Yan hates playing with the Cavaliers, everyone on earth knows it!

"I think Philip has the same opinion as me. You can also ask him." Finally, Ke Yan added.

.

.

.

.

After the game ended and he returned home, Ke Yan's only thought was to have a good sleep.

After directing this game, Ke Yan was exhausted physically and mentally. He needed a long sleep to restore his energy. He slept for a full 12 hours!

It was while he was sleeping that the NBA officially announced the candidates for the best coach of the season. Sam Mitchell of the Men's Dragons defeated Ke Yan and Avery Johnson and was successfully elected as the best coach of the 0607 season.

.

Sam Mitchell personally invested in the rebuilding of the Men's Dragons, helping the team win the division championship even though they were not expected to win, and re-enter the playoffs, which is a well-deserved honor.

Huaxia fans lamented for Ke Yan. They felt that Ke Yan's performance in leading the team to 68 wins and setting a record in the history of the Eagles was not bad! Moreover, the Menglong team ranked fourth because of the conference championship. The actual record was only ranked sixth in the Eastern Conference! More or less

A little bit hydrated?

However, it is an unspoken rule that the best coach will not be re-elected. If you want to win the award for the second time, you will naturally have to make a greater improvement compared to the first time, such as 73 wins. And the award is really not just awarded to strong teams.

Yes, sometimes you have to make some balance.

Anyway, Ke Yan feels that if DPOY is not given to Garnett, he will not be able to win the best coach. The probability of Garnett winning the MVP is constantly increasing!
