Basketball: Starting from the Rodman template

The entire Pistons team played very smoothly.

Tomjanovich is a coach who is used to giving the ball to the players themselves. What he is better at doing is guiding the players.

However, because the Pistons have been trained by Rick Carlisle and Larry Brown, the entire offensive and defensive tactics are already in place. As a "champion coach", Tomjanovich can still feel this easily, so Since he took office, the Pistons' offensive and defensive arrangements have continued as before. However, after his training, the players' consciousness has increased, and the Pistons' current cooperation is also very proactive and positive.

To put it simply, they are a real team!

In such a team, no one will say, "My performance is fine, my win-loss value is plus 7, I controlled my mistakes, this is what I care about most!"

When the team loses, their first reaction is whether they did better.

And when the team wins, they will always give the opponent the biggest shout of praise immediately.

In this team, there may be very few people who will produce extremely exaggerated and comprehensive personal data, but they support each other and will not travel at staggered times just to produce better data for themselves.

Supporting each other and becoming stronger together is the reason why the "Five Tigers" overturned the Lakers' "F4" in the summer.

This is also the reason why they are still strong.

It is not an easy task to defeat such a team.

So before the game started, Stan Van Gundy emphasized to the team: "This will be a long 48 minutes. Fight this like a war!"

Woody still pulled to the outside to catch the ball.

There is no problem with the Pistons' "double" mobility inside. Even if Woody does move to the outside to catch the ball, he will not be able to cause direct and effective damage like he did against the Cavaliers.

But the problem is that when Woody pulls outside the three-point line to catch the ball, its effect is not only to directly turn the matchup into a mismatch, it also has another effect.

That is to allow Shaquille O'Neal to form a 1v1 singles space inside.

Just like now...

"Bah!"

With a loud shout, Shaquille O'Neal turned around with all his strength and dunked, completing a strong kill under the basket. Ben Wallace raised his hands high, but helplessly watched Shaquille O'Neal dunk over his head.

Wow, you do this to me, right?

Ben Wallace moves closer to Woody and gives him a hard spank.

His biggest nemesis in this league is Shaquille O'Neal, who is tall and strong and takes up all the advantages at the basket. This is not something that can be filled with enthusiasm. This is a "natural gap." .

It is also this gap that makes Ben Wallace become the "Defensive Player of the Season" at most, but cannot go further.

Although this is better than most players in the NBA, there is still a gap between them and the top players, right?
This is also the reason why the Pistons have not offered Ben Wallace an "annual salary of tens of millions" to renew his contract.

Ben Wallace is a dedicated professional player, but professional players also have to live!
The role of "Madman" in any system is not as good as that of Ben Wallace, but his annual salary is high...

Ben Wallace became the Pistons' breakthrough point, which made Rasheed Wallace change.When he needs to defend out, he needs to consider whether he should make up for it in time.

"Roaring King" experienced Tim Duncan's struggle when guarding Woody.

Fortunately, tonight's game had just started, and Woody's touch was average. When he tried to take a step, Woody tried to take a mid-range shot and missed, which made the situation not seem so urgent.

In addition, the Pistons' "double guns" in the backcourt also performed very well tonight. They quickly entered their own state and scored fiercely.

At 6 minutes and 13 seconds of the first quarter, the Pistons had already taken a 4-point lead at their home court.

For the Pistons, this lead is already huge.

Because it is still difficult for other teams to score on them.

So far this season, they are allowing just 85.8 points per game.

It is the team that has conceded the fewest points in the NBA.

Even the Suns, the most capable team this season, failed to score more than [-] points in a single game against them.

The same is true. Once the Pistons' offensive state is better than usual at night, this team will become more difficult to deal with.

Stan Van Gundy called a timeout and called Wade in front of him, smiling more cordially than usual.

Wade just didn't download the "National Anti-Fraud APP", otherwise, he would have had to ring the phone like crazy at this time.

"Man, this is your stage now. Your recent performance has been outstanding, but the media doesn't pay enough attention to you. It's time for them to pay more attention to your existence!" At this moment, Stan Van Gundy, dressed as a witch The black cloak can be played immediately, and it will not feel inconsistent at all.

Of course, what is different from the past is that this time Stan Van Gundy told the actual situation, and he did not lie.

Wade is indeed the "key to victory" for the Heat to win tonight.

Especially after Woody has pulled Rasheed Wallace inside to a high position, Wade's breakthrough will inevitably increase the pressure on the Pistons inside.

and so……

Go ahead, Wade, no one in the world doesn’t recognize you!
In the name of Dwyane!
A series of slogans directly made Wade's big cheeks swell.

After the timeout, he burst out with ferocious aggression when he returned to the court. Especially after getting the ball, he did not hesitate at all when facing Hamilton. He bullied him with the ball and confronted Hamilton.

The Pistons' overall defense is impregnable, but from a local perspective, Hamilton is their breakthrough.

Like all players who focus on shooting, Hamilton is also thin at the second position. Otherwise, why would Stan Van Gundy think this is Wade's time?
Wade successfully rushed to the free throw line during the confrontation.

There is one thing that Stan Van Gundy has not discovered. Under the light of Woody, Wade, who has trained hard, is now more and more confident in hitting the basket, combined with his speed and explosive power, as well as his understanding of footwork. , after entering the basket, Wade's grasp of when to lay up is already at the league's first level.

Seeing Ben Wallace's delay in coming up, Wade guessed that he wanted to wait for Wade to get closer to the basket and take the next step, and then defend him when there was no change. He simply jumped up first, gliding and dunking to complete the score.

By this time, even Ben Wallace, who was fully mobile, could no longer defend him.

"Bah!"

Successful dunk.

Wade immediately looked towards Stan Van Gundy on the sidelines.

Seeing him explode as soon as he came on the field, Stan Van Gundy was actually a little confused at first. He thought Wade would be easy to play at this time, but he never expected that this guy would explode like this.

But when Wade looked at him, he just smiled slightly and pointed at Wade on the court with a "I'll tell you what" look on his face, much like his asshole master Pat Riley.But this also made Wade feel "fatherly love."

At this moment, Stan Van Gundy and Pat Riley were completely integrated in his heart.

Wade's performance officially started after this "split dunk".

Stan Van Gundy looked at it and smiled happily.

Wade finally became a better player as he expected and completed his second transformation. Now, in the eyes of Stan Van Gundy, he is already a guy who can solve more problems.

In terms of strength, he is already at the All-Star level.As for whether he can finally make the All-Stars this season, it depends on the media's attention.

Stan Van Gundy feels a little aggrieved for Wade on this point, because his two current teammates have received too much attention.

Anyone would dim around these two.

He wondered if he could praise Wade more harshly in the future.

After all, this is a star trained by him!
What he didn't know was that Pat Riley, who was watching the game thousands of miles away in Miami, thought the same thing.

In his opinion, Wade is completely the star he trained.

It will definitely become another masterpiece of his in the future...

Relying on Wade's performance, the situation on the court suddenly changed. The Heat were no longer lagging behind and taking a beating. Instead, they successfully overtook the deficit at the end of the first quarter and entered the game with a 28-point lead, 25-3. Come to the second quarter.

Entering the second quarter of the game, the Pistons still didn't find a good way to restrict Wade.

Ben Wallace, who mainly serves as the core of defense, is now "too busy to take care of himself", and the other "double Ben" is now also placed in a high position, unable to move. Once these two are restricted, the Pistons' defense will immediately lose control. It couldn't be more solid.

At least Wade will be difficult to limit.

In the second quarter, he once again scored 8 points in a single quarter. In addition to the 7 points in the first quarter, Wade scored 15 points alone in the first half, shining throughout the game.

The commentators of the major TV stations were also a little surprised. None of them expected that the most shining person in this game was Wade.

50 to 44, the Heat's halftime lead reached 6 points.

As can be seen from their scoring, they cracked the Pistons' defense very well.

It's just that the Pistons also showed their resilience at this time.

At the beginning of the third quarter, even though Wade's performance was still very good, the point difference could no longer be widened.

Tomjanovich only made some arrangements on the offensive end. He gave more offensive opportunities to Hamilton and asked his teammates to keep giving him the ball.

Hamilton is also in his own system, showing his ability as the "King of Mid-range Shooters" and constantly hitting shots.

He was already feeling very good tonight, and now he felt even better.

However, the real killer move only began to appear in the fourth quarter.

Dwyane Wade, who has been active on the court as the team's main attacker since the second half of the first quarter, began to decline in offensive efficiency.

The reason for the decline...

One is that Prince figured out his offensive habits and began to defend better.

One more reason...

In the process of chasing Hamilton, a lot of physical energy was consumed!
This is an oversight by Stan Van Gundy. The Heat did not have any problems on the main defensive end tonight. He has always focused on the offensive end. Once Wade's offense struggles, he needs to immediately change the Heat's offensive method. .

In the final analysis, he still doesn't trust Wade enough.

He is guilty!
So much so that Tomjanovich's strategy of increasing Hamilton's shot share and using off-ball running to consume Wade was a huge success.

"This guy just comes to the stadium to run long distances!"

In Los Angeles, Kobe Bryant, who had no game tonight, was watching the game. Seeing Hamilton gradually gaining an advantage in the matchup, he couldn't help but curse.

To this day, he has not forgiven Hamilton.

His performance in the finals is hard to describe. In addition to the "double book" defense for him and his own strong desire to play singles, it was in the process of chasing Hamilton that a lot of physical energy was lost.

Basically, the NBA's superstars are "physical monsters," but that doesn't mean they won't get tired.

It's that their physical fitness recovers faster, coupled with reasonable distribution on the court and the understanding of "stealing breaks", allowing them to fight continuously until the end of the game.

But Hamilton's running without the ball is, to a certain extent, destroying the defender's resting habits on the court.

One round and two rounds may not reveal anything, but as time goes by, the problem will inevitably become bigger.

Otherwise, Kobe wouldn't have said such an angry thing as wanting to break Hamilton's leg.

As for Hamilton himself, who was born into a marathon family, this method is his normal rhythm.

You may have been tired and vomited, but he only felt slightly sweaty.

Wade's big trouble was solved in this way.

The Heat's offense entered a brief stagnation stage.

In the last 5 minutes of the game, the Pistons successfully narrowed the point difference to 1 point.

The whole situation instantly became more tense.

Wade was replaced at this time. This guy was too tired and would not have much effect on the court.

Stan Van Gundy got Jones.

The ball was given to Woody at this time.

Woody was limited a little in this game, but not by Rasheed Wallace.

But by his own touch.

The way "Roaring King" defended him was no different from Tim Duncan, but at that time Woody could hit the mid-range shot. Tonight, he has not made any mid-range shots yet.

All 14 points scored, all came from scoring under the basket.

But after getting the ball this time, looking at Rasheed Wallace who was not ready to defend him, he decisively took a mid-range shot. The ball flew straight to the basket and then fell straight in.

in!

Woody, who had not scored a single mid-range goal in the game, completed the goal at this most critical moment, when the team needed someone to step up and score the most!
What is a "key son"!

And this is one of the essential qualities to become a "super giant"!

The score difference was 3 points. For the Pistons, Rasheed Wallace went up to the high post and found Billups outside the three-point line on the wing.

"Mr. Key" caught the ball and took a decisive shot. The ball flew straight out and fell into the basket.

tie!

After three and a half quarters in which each team led the way, the score difference between the two teams returned to the starting line again. (End of chapter)
