Rick Carlisle obviously also knows very well that the Pistons' current style of clinging to the score is not what they are good at. If they continue like this, they are afraid that their state will fluctuate and they will be unable to continue.

Therefore, at 7 minutes and 13 seconds of the second quarter, even though the Pistons were only 3 points behind, he took the lead in calling a timeout.

He needs to make some adjustments in his defensive tactics!

As an imaginary opponent in the playoffs, although it is just an ordinary regular season game, Rick Carlisle still attaches great importance to this game and has specially conducted targeted research.

I also wanted to do this to see how the Wizards would react when faced with targeted defense.

"After taking the lead, others must immediately expand the defense line and make up for it in time!"

After explaining some details, the pause time also ended.

Jerry Stackhouse hit a mid-range shot as soon as he came up, narrowing the point difference to 1 point.

Following this momentum, the entire Pistons team also quickly returned to defense and moved according to tactical requirements.

The moment the ball was given to Michael Jordan.

Jerry Stackhouse and Michael Curry of the Pistons immediately double-teamed Michael Jordan.

Michael Jordan, who originally wanted to start a singles, immediately dropped his shoulders and broke through from Stackhouse's left side.

Michael Curry is to his right.

In this way, he can complete the breakthrough as soon as possible.

But Stackhouse also skillfully pushed him into a blind corner, not giving him a chance to break through to the inside.

Step on the three-point line and walk in.

Stackhouse's physical confrontation forced Michael Jordan to sink all the way.

Michael Curry went around Stackhouse's back and formed a containment again.

Fortunately, at this time, Michael Jordan finally caught a glimpse of a teammate reaching the top of the key.

A crisp straight plug.

Tyronn Lue got the ball, raised his hand and threw it.

Ben Wallace suddenly jumped in front of him and slapped the ball away.

When Hamilton gets the ball again, there is less than 4 seconds left in the attack time.

Take action hastily.

The ball bounced out of the frame.

Clifford Robinson held the rebound firmly in his hands.

In the first round after returning to the court after a timeout, Rick Carlisle's change of formation had a very obvious effect.

Kenny Smith: "Okay, the day that gave Scott a headache has finally arrived..."

The Pistons' changes did not exceed his expectations.

Even expected.

As early as December, the media was constantly emphasizing the problem of the Wizards' lineup: they did not have enough ball-holding points, and there was only one Michael Jordan. Others could not create enough lethality with the ball. If the opponent used double-teaming

Jordan, the Wizards may fall into chaos without anyone directing them...

Now the Pistons are taking the lead in deploying defense against this point.

Judging from this round, the effect is very good.

Michael Jordan was double-teamed and almost gave the Wizards a 24-second violation.

Kenny Smith added another point: "But the mobility of Ben Wallace and Clifford Robinson is also the reason why the Pistons succeeded in double-teaming Michael Jordan!"

Tyronn Lue's shooting opportunity just came out.

But it was destroyed by Da Ben with his mobility...

It is really difficult for other teams' insiders to have such mobility, and the effect may not be as good as it is now!

But even if only the Pistons can produce such a defensive effect, it is enough to give the Wizards a headache.

After all...there's a good chance they'll meet in the playoffs.

The Pistons took advantage in both offense and defense, which allowed them to score again.

The point difference was completely overtaken by the Pistons at this time.

"The guys on the Pistons were in very good offensive form tonight!"

There are still more than 3 minutes left in the second quarter, but the Pistons have already scored 48 points. Based on their state, it is probably no problem to score 55 points in the first half.

Scott didn't change his formation, just stood on the sidelines watching Michael Jordan struggle to cope with the opponent's double team.

Looking at the staggering Michael Jordan, Barkley said: "At this moment, I finally feel that Father Time has left traces on this man!"

Three minutes passed quickly. After falling behind at the beginning, the Pistons successfully completed the reversal through defensive changes and led 54 to 48 by 6 points, ending the first half of the game.

Michael Jordan was at the forefront of returning to the locker room, and Scott caught up with him. The two of them didn't know what they were talking about.

Just when everyone was speculating whether Michael Jordan was dissatisfied with Scott's command, when they returned to the court in the second half, the two men walked to the bench calmly.

Michael Jordan took off his jacket again and the third quarter officially began.

The Pistons still double-team Michael Jordan's defensive style.

But for the Wizards, Jiang Dalin began to move to the high post.

"Is this a pick-and-roll?"

Amid Kenny Smith's speculation, Hamilton bypassed Michael Jordan at this time. Stackhouse, who was double-teaming Michael Jordan, immediately intercepted Hamilton in order to prevent them from passing the ball hand-to-hand.

But in this case, Michael Curry is the only one left in front of Jordan.

Although everyone calls him Michael, this Michael does not have the ability to defend Jordan alone. Jordan took a step to the right and easily hit the mid-range shot.

The score difference is still 4 points.

Barkley: "The Wizards have a lot of changes this round!"

Kenny Smith: "I feel like the Pistons' double-teaming forced out a lot of things from the Wizards that have been useless."

Barkley: "At least in the games so far, the Wizards are indeed using the personal abilities of Michael Jordan, Richard and the Chinese No. 1 pick to solve problems!"

Both of them had expectations in their eyes.

If the Wizards really come up with something different, this game will be great to watch!

And selfishly speaking, Kenny Smith and Barkley didn't want to see the Wizards be defeated by the "double-team Michael Jordan" tactic.

"The tactic of double-teaming could be used as a trump card tactic or even a trump card in the past..."

Michael Jordan repeatedly fell at the feet of the "Bad Boys" back then. The tactics used by the Pistons at that time were essentially "double-team" tactics.

But basketball is always improving.

At present, no tactic can be said to be the "ace tactic" that can cope with all situations.

Changes in defensive tactics can often eliminate their effects through changes in offensive tactics.

Stackhouse was eager to chase points and missed in a hasty shot from mid-range. Jiang Dalin protected the rebound and quickly passed the ball to Michael Jordan.

Jordan rushed towards the Pistons' defensive zone. Looking at it like this, he seemed to be planning to go straight to the fast break.

The Pistons returned to defense faster and faster.

As they set up their formation, Jordan's dribbling speed slowed down again.

Jiang Dalin passed by him, and just when he was about to reach the high post, Michael Jordan, who was slowly walking to the three-point line, suddenly started to take steps.

Jiang Dalin, who was pressing in, immediately stood still at this time.

With a tacit pick-and-roll, Michael Jordan drove to the basket.

Before Michael Curry and Stackhouse formed a double-team, Jordan had already made a layup.

2 points left!

As soon as the second half started, the Wizards went on a 4-0 run!

The Washington fans who were worried about the Wizards' second half in the midfield now all started cheering loudly again.

Barkley: "The elevation of China's No. 1 pick to a high position prevented the Pistons from forming a double-team on Michael Jordan."

"At times like this, Michael Jordan's experience comes through!"

"It seems like this is the strategy the Wizards use to deal with double teams from their opponents!"

"I have to say that Michael Jordan is really old. It is hard to imagine that one day he will agree to use pick-and-roll tactics continuously!"

Barkley once again lamented Michael Jordan's "late hero".

Kenny Smith still remembers the scene where Hamilton just bypassed Michael Jordan: "I'm afraid the Wizards' formation change is not just as simple as Michael Jordan and the big bang pick-and-roll!"

"Slow down, slow down, there is still time, we are still ahead!"

Amid Rick Carlisle's shouts, Stackhouse finally regained his senses, caught the ball again one step ahead of the baseline three-point line, and stuffed the ball inside with a fake shot and a true pass.

Robinson took the ball, turned around and dunked.

As soon as the ball was lifted up, there was a "rainbow" and a huge palm.

"Crack!"

The ball hit the board directly.

However, Ben Wallace grabbed the rebounded ball and completed a one-handed smash in front of Haywood.

Jiang Dalin shook his head slightly.

Michael Jordan pulled his little brother Haywood aside to "educate" him.

Even this backboard cannot be protected.

Why are you so tall?

Kenny Smith said again: "The Pistons' offensive end tonight was really..."

He wanted to say good luck.

But if you think about it carefully, there are no goals that rely on luck.

Finally, he said: "It's really opened!"

After finally gaining some sense of presence on the offensive end, Ben yelled for his teammates to defend when he returned to defense.

His goal really inspired the Pistons...

After all, for a player who averages 7.6 points per game, scoring one point is really inspiring!

The ball is in Michael Jordan's hands again.

Jiang Dalin was still moving to the high post just like before. Stackhouse pressed Jordan in advance. Jordan calmly leaned on him with his shoulder and leaned towards Jiang Dalin.

As long as he waits for Jiang Dalin's pick-and-roll, he will definitely be able to get rid of the matchup immediately.

Stackhouse also knew this in his heart, and the press became more and more fierce.

As a result, Jordan stood up directly and shot a three-pointer. Stackhouse, who did not react, was called a "three-point defensive foul."

The mighty "God of Basketball" also engages in such dirty tricks, right?

he~tui!

Stackhouse cursed.

Michael Jordan chewed his braces and calmly hit three free throws.

The score difference suddenly dropped to 1 point.

Barkley: "The Pistons need to change their formation quickly, otherwise the Wizards can reverse their disadvantage with this move."

Kenny Smith: "Ben has to defend, but in this way, Michael Curry can no longer double-team. But the question is, if Ben comes out, what should China's No. 1 pick do when he cuts?"

There was only Robinson standing inside, and Kenny Smith didn't think he could stop the charging Jiang Dalin!

But if Ben Wallace doesn't guard him, how can Stackhouse continue to pester Michael Jordan in the face of the pick-and-roll?

The change given by Rick Carlisle is to let Michael Curry help Stackhouse defend. Because they are all moving near the high position, even if Jordan passes the ball to Hamilton, Michael Curry can quickly return to defense!

The ball returned from Hamilton's hands to Jordan's hands again.

It looks like there will be another 24-second violation.

Jordan suddenly hit the ground and hit Jiang Dalin, who was in the high post and walking toward the basket.

Ben Wallace stood outside the reasonable collision area at the first opportunity.

But he underestimated Jiang Dalin's speed.

When he stepped on the line of the reasonable collision zone and wanted to take another step forward, Jiang Dalin was already in front of him and jumped high.

It was too late to hide, so Ben Wallace chose to jump on the spot, stretching his arms as far as possible.

But Jiang Dalin's take-off height was obviously more than a head higher than him. His arms pulled the ball back, almost reaching the back of his head, and his whole body almost bent into a bow.

Then he smashed the ball into the basket.

"Boom!"

Ben Wallace heard the explosion.

This is the loud sound produced by the contact between the ball and the basket.

Then, there was another louder sound!

This was the passion of the Wizards fans at the scene ignited by Jiang Dalin's explosive dunk.

"omg!"

The voice of the on-site commentator also split instantly.

His whole expression was like seeing God.

"I have no words to describe what I saw before my eyes!"

"Darling..."

"He always exceeds my expectations time and time again!"

"god!"

Barkley was also shouting excitedly: "At the end of tonight's game, Big Bang may be taken away by the police and charged with first-degree murder. He brutally murdered the Pistons insider, that inspirational man.

, Ben Wallace died in the air!”

There was no celebration when Jiang Dalin returned to defense, but all his teammates on the bench couldn't help but stepped forward and pulled his arm.

Bobby Simmons punches hard.

The expression of disbelief on his face was so distorted that it was almost painful.

Michael Jordan shook his head slightly.

Jiang Dalin once again exceeded his expectations.

Ben Wallace is actually not tall.

But the problem is that Jiang Dalin's slam dunk is exactly like a striker's bombing of the basket!

But he is much stronger and lighter than the average striker!

It's really bloody...

Michael Jordan himself is the "Slam Dunk King" in the "Slam Dunk Contest", and he has also seen top actual dunkers like "Rain Man" Shawn Kemp, but he must say that "Rain Man" was nothing in front of Jiang Dalin.

None.

If Shawn Kemp is the ceiling of "violence", then Jiang Dalin is above the ceiling!

Ben Wallace stood up under the tug of his teammates, as if his mind had only just awakened at this moment...

Stackhouse took the pass from Robinson and dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. He subconsciously glanced at Jiang Dalin's position. He had just witnessed Jiang Dalin's brutality at close range. It was difficult for him at this moment.

Don't pay attention to Jiang Dalin's position.

However, Stackhouse, who had stabilized his mentality, still responded and sent the ball into the basket with a steady mid-range shot.

This made Michael Jordan couldn't help but sigh: This kid still has some improvement!
