This tactic of shooting three points after the center blocks and dismantles has been successfully cooperated with Sandro many times in training before. At this time, it is naturally handy to use it on the field.
Coach Casey of the Pistons observed the situation on the court, but there was a little drum in his heart.
Although their team is still leading in the score, it basically relies on the individual ability of the players to score, and the Spurs have begun to play tactics one by one. If this situation continues, as long as the individual offensive efficiency of the players on their side declines, then they will inevitably be hit by the Spurs with a wave of offensive climax.
Thinking of this, Casey couldn't help but start banging on the floor with his shoes in leather shoes.
Ivey again opted to hoist the ball to Wiseman. As a rookie who was only selected this year, even as the team's point guard, he basically has no say on the court, and can only follow the wishes of his teammates. That's why Popovich feels that Chang Tiancheng has the temperament of a leader, even if he is paired with a historical superstar on the court, he will play according to his own ideas, and will never be afraid to take command because he is a rookie.
After Wiseman received the ball, he looked back at Sandro who was defending him, and found that he was a head taller than the opponent, so he decisively switched to the face frame mode, made a triple threat from the left side, and then cut into the front of the basket with a big stride, raised his left hand to hold the basketball high, and scored with a hook hand.
At 36:33, the Pistons led by three points.
After Graham received Diop's serve, he dribbled the ball vigorously, but he was a little impatient.
The opponent's interior advantage now seems to be very obvious, if you are beaten like this, the score will not be able to catch up for a while and a half, not to mention that the opponent's interior attack does not seem to consume much physical strength. And the only thing I can rely on now is outside shooting, but how can the shooting rate of outside shooting be better than putting the ball directly under the basket by others.
He tilted his head slightly, focusing on Chang Tiancheng. This rookie, who was selected by the Lakers this year, has only played less than one game in total, why does he look so calm now, is it possible that he hasn't seen the situation on the court clearly?
At this time, Chang Tiancheng also found that Graham was watching him, so he simply stretched out his hand and signaled that Graham could pass the ball over.
Graham was stunned, because Chang Tiancheng's performance in this game was perfect, so he instinctively passed the ball in the direction of Chang Tiancheng.
At this time, Pistons rookie guard Ivey finally seized an opportunity, he was quick to move around Chang Tiancheng, plucked the ball with his fingertips, pushed the ball forward, and completed a steal. Then, he went straight to the fast break and went straight to the Spurs' empty half.
Graham was annoyed, and he wanted to extend his hand to Chang Tiancheng to apologize, but found that Chang Tiancheng had already begun to defend himself.
It was not difficult for Chang Tiancheng, who had steel and iron skills, to catch up with Ivey, but the moment he just stuck to Ivey's side, Ivey suddenly paused, and then jumped directly outside the three-point line, and at the same time leaned his body towards Chang Tiancheng's body, leaning on Chang Tiancheng to make a three-point shot.
"Beep!" the referee's whistle blew, and although Ivey's three-pointer didn't go in, it caused Chang Tiancheng's shooting foul. Since Ivey is the hand outside the three-point line, he can make three free throws.
Chang Tiancheng clapped his hands vigorously, and couldn't help scolding in his heart: "This system really doesn't give me any defensive skills."
In this defense, although Chang Tiancheng relied on his strengthened physical fitness to catch up with Ivey, due to his lack of defensive experience, he was fouled by the opponent for a three-point foul.
"Looks like I'm going to have to work on my defense when I go back in the future. Chang Tiancheng thought in his heart.
Ivey made three free throws to stretch the deficit to six points.
Seeing that the point difference had exceeded the point difference when he was on the court, Chang Tiancheng's heart that had always remained calm was also a little tense, he quickly dribbled the ball through the half, beckoned Diop to make a block and cover for himself, and then shot a three-pointer directly at a step outside the three-point line.
But this time, he didn't receive a prompt from the system to trigger the Marksman's skill.
The basketball smashed into the front of the basket and was easily picked up by Wiseman for a rebound.
The ball came to the Pistons' side again, Ivey took the ball to the Spurs halfcourt, and chose to pass the ball to Wiseman again, and Wiseman's hand in this game was not ordinarily good, seeing that the Spurs still chose to let Sandro defend himself, Wiseman directly chose to make a turn-over back-to-back jumper and score two more points.
At 41:33, the Pistons' lead came to eight points.
Just as Graham received the serve and wanted to continue attacking, the referee's whistle blew again.
The Spurs requested a timeout.
Chang Tiancheng, who walked off the field, asked the staff of the team for a bottle of sports drink and drank it in small sips.
Popovich called the player who had just been on the field to his side: "Boys, what we need to do now is to stay calm and not mess up just because the opponent can keep attacking and finishing. Chang, I can't say that there was a problem with your choice just now, but I think that with your ability, you could have made a better choice at that time.
Chang Tiancheng nodded, he actually knew that the three-point shot just now was indeed a little reluctant, and the system's marksman skill was not triggered, which had never happened in the previous game, which made Chang Tiancheng a little worried about whether there was something wrong with the system. However, just now when he was off the field, he confirmed his body by the way, and it was still the posture that had been strengthened by the system, so it can be seen that the system should still play a role in his body.
But why didn't the skill activate when he shot just now?
Chang Tiancheng was thinking about it, and was pulled back by Popovich's voice.
"Doug, you take Graham for a moment, Sochan for you, you prepare, you for Sandro in a moment.
After saying that, Popovich walked up to Sandro and patted him on the shoulder: "Kid, don't have any emotions, I didn't want to replace you because Wiseman kept scoring goals, but there are other reasons, you have done a good job."
Sandro hurriedly waved his hand: "It's okay coach, I know you must have some clever plan." Besides, as a professional player, it's normal to obey the coach's arrangement.
Popovich nodded in satisfaction, and then moved his gaze to Chang Tiancheng.
