The 76ers did put a lot of pressure on the Pistons in the first half of the second game between the two teams, especially in the second quarter, which only allowed the opponent to score 13 points in a single quarter.

But the price of tough defense is extreme fitness.

Although he successfully prevented the opponent's shooting percentage to 5 of 19 in a single quarter, he didn't go that high on his own side.

Although the 76ers made three more shots than their opponents in the second quarter, they only hit one more shot.

There were even back-to-back missed baskets in a single offensive round.

And Raja Bell missed three consecutive open three-pointers.

Chasing Hamilton used up almost all of his energy, and you could feel a noticeable deformation in his movements in the first half alone.

At halftime, 37-34

Even if it was pressed like this, the visitors were only three points ahead.

A number of professional media people have questioned Larry Brown's pre-match chest assurance.

At

the beginning of the second half, Carlisle first made a bold innovation in the use of personnel, directly pressing starting center Clifford Robinson to the bench and bringing Prince and Oku on the court at the same time.

Big Ben returned to the fourth position to mark Van Horn and Oku to defend Haywood.

As a result, Van Horn's strong play on the inside has become more difficult, and even scoring is a huge drain on itself.

He was not known for his defense, and he instantly became the first point targeted by the Pistons ball carriers.

Billups frequently beckoned his teammates to come forward to block and dismantle, and Big Ben blocked and dismantled with him three times in a row, and the effect was very good.

Rayong and Iverson's breakthrough, Carlisle also thought of an idea.

It is to delay as much as possible at the upline station, and then let Big Ben take off at any time in the paint area to defend, and then arrange Hamilton and Prince to slide back and forth to defend at the two bottom lines to maximize interference.

It worked really well, and Iverson and Rayong also started to make mistakes.

In particular, Rayong, who played the Eastern Conference finals for the first time, was a little immature when handling the ball, and there was a situation where the basket was handed out of bounds.

It's still a little tight, and the nerve in my brain wants to win so much that my movements are stiffer than before.

The tailwind game is okay, once it is overtaken by the other party, it will be more urgent, and the more urgent it is, the more wrong, this is a dead loop.

During a timeout, Iverson again had an altercation with Larry Brown.

Brown wants the opposition to give up some of the ball and learn to play around the line like Hamilton did.

Iverson, on the other hand, believes that his biggest advantage is the impact when holding the ball, and is obviously very resistant to the tactics arranged by the coach to catch and throw.

The two got up one after another, chanting words in their mouths, although they were blocked in the middle by the teaching assistant, this scene was still clearly filmed by the camera on the sidelines.

There were even good things in the media that photographed Iverson's lip shape.

"I know, I know you can't do it, you can't come up with a way to deal with it, I know, go home and take your grandson!" "

You will only erase the enthusiasm and creativity of the players, you are not suitable for leading the team, you go and lead the Go team, you are needed there, maybe you will bring a lot of trouble to those robots." These

are the exact words that Iverson spewed at Larry Brown.

This...... Although there is a suspicion of disrespect, but if you think about it, it seems that it can't be justified.

Speaking from the heart, it's still very objective.

The Pistons took advantage of this opportunity to blast a 16-4 attack wave again in the second half of the quarter, opening up the difference in one fell swoop.

53-64, at the end of the third quarter, the Pistons at home led by 11 points.

Billups hit two three-pointers on 6-of-8 shooting in the quarter, and that was still 14 points without making free throws.

Not only did he get points on his own, but he also connected the team.

After rushing into the opponent's encirclement twice, the three-point assists of Prince and Oku were very impressive.

By the way, this big guy from the Pistons is going to fucking throw threes.

Larry Brown, you're going to be flexible, and if Haywood can't do it, he'll go down and get Coleman up.

Use Van Horn to play Oku, and Coleman to deal with Big Ben, who lacks the ability to attack independently.

As a result, Big Ben's advantage in basketball will also be greatly reduced, and Coleman's fat ass is enough to push the opponent away from the best zone.

You can't expect Rayong to rush in from the outside to grab rebounds after defending the arrows on the opposite side.

There should be a few more horses, to defend the inferior horses with the stuck position.

Billups and Hamilton were picked up after a three-minute break in the fourth quarter.

Iverson also came along, but Spinner was plagued by fouls tonight and sat off the court.

A tired Haywood was still on the court, Coleman was still on

? What was the reason for that?

Haywood was again targeted by the opposition, and Billups hit a step-back jumper in front of Haywood.

Iverson immediately turned to look in the direction of the coach and made a substitution gesture, but Larry Brown turned his head away.

Iverson could only rush on his own, and after a simple block with Rayong, he quickly completed a step-back shot.

missed, Haywood jumped off the basket and grabbed the rebound and fouled.

Pushing people, there is an obvious action of pushing people.

Big Ben was directly pushed out of the bottom line by the other party, Heywood was tired, and he was already starting to react a little slowly.

We've played 31 minutes tonight.

Such a big guy is defensive, and he doesn't have the ability to jump shots, so he runs back and forth, which is weird and tiring.

The key is that this Oku is also very good at running, and he will always appear outside the three-point line, which makes him very uncomfortable.

Rayong relied on his individual defensive ability to successfully defend Hamilton once, causing the opponent's attack to violate for 24 seconds.

At the same time, on the offensive end, he took the initiative to switch to Big Ben's side and used his footsteps to make a basket and step to the basket.

Although one player went 7-0, the Pistons' Billups and Oku hit three-pointers again.

The 76ers are still mired.

Defensively there was really a problem, and even the fans on the sidelines knew that the usually inconspicuous Oku was the best killer tonight.

He can pull the opponent's big man out, and a few of his own small men can rush in for a layup.

If Haywood had hesitated a little, a hand-raising would have been a heart-piercing three-pointer.

With the hard support of Iverson and Rayong, although the difference was chased to 5 points with 47 seconds left in the game.

But in retrospect, Billups again drew a foul on Haywood on the inside and made two free throws.

The Pistons didn't give the other team another chance and won the game in one go.

In the end, the score was fixed at 83-91

The Philadelphia 76ers lost two games in a row, and Rayong and Iverson combined for 46 points, 13 assists and 6 steals in this game, but they couldn't stand the double-double of five people on the opposite side.

Billups, the game's highest scorer, scored just 21 points, Hamilton and Prince each scored 14 points, and it is worth mentioning that the Turkish Oku who came off the bench performed well, shooting 6-of-9, including 4-of-5 from beyond the three-point line, and scored 16 points efficiently.

A center played 27 minutes without a single free throw,

shooting and killing the 76ers from the outside.

Oku became the biggest discovery of the Pistons in this round of the series, and what about

the 76ers?What did the 76ers find in this round?What did they dig up?
