Chapter 227 Fighting Pistons Again
With the whistle of the referee, the game officially began.
Tony Batty deserves to be a big center forward. He is a head taller than Ben and easily jumps to the ball.
Blake handed the ball directly to Chen Mo, and ran towards the corner three-pointer by himself.
Well, as a dribble point guard, that's basically what Blake does.
However, he followed Chen Mo's advice, and while working hard on corner three-pointers, he also strengthened his confrontation and defense.
It can be said that although Mo Williams can score better, the head coach is more willing to use Blake.
Chen Mo had heard Stan Van Gundy sigh more than once, why can't the two become one?
As soon as he got the ball, Prince had already posted it. Everyone was afraid of Chen Mo's three-pointer.
Chen Mo is not the point guard of the national team, he can't even dribble past half court.
As soon as Prince came up to press, Chen Mo accelerated and passed directly, that is to say, there were still people around, otherwise he would just throw a three-pointer.
It was just an attempt just now, and it is naturally impossible for Prince to keep playing defense like this all the time.
The position one step away from Chen Mo ensures that Chen Mo can't easily shoot a three-pointer, that's all.
However, during this period of time, Chen Mo's style of play has changed.
In addition to running off the ball to catch and shoot, he has increased the ball, especially playing pick-and-rolls with the inside.
Tony Batty didn't even need Chen Mo to greet him, and he came up to play the pick-and-roll immediately.
Moreover, his thick body is enough to keep Prince behind.
At the moment of the pick-and-roll, Chen Mo made a breakthrough with the ball, and Da Ben defended him immediately, with quick steps.
As the best pick-and-roll insider in the NBA, Ben has an advantage when defending pick-and-rolls.
Facing Da Ben, Chen Mo did not choose to continue to break through, but chose to make a move.
That's right, Big Ben's movement speed gives him a great advantage in defending pick-and-rolls, but at the same time, his lack of height makes it difficult for him to defend against pick-and-rolls.
Don't look at Da Ben's tall hairstyle, but he is really standing with Chen Mo, the height of the two is almost the same.
Coupled with the wingspan and bounce, Chen Mo's shot was not disturbed too much.
"Shh!"
2:0
The Pistons attacked, and Billups dribbled the ball across the half court steadily. Even if he had the opportunity to play a fast break, he turned a blind eye.
Rasheed Wallace made an inside position, and Billups passed the ball at the first time.
It can be seen that in just a few games, Rasheed Wallace has gained the trust of the team.
He observed his opponent first and saw that no one was planning to double-team, so he prepared to attack.
Compared with the previous situation where the inside defense was weak and the offense was weak, today's Pistons also have a strong inside.
Grant defends Rasheed Wallace alone. As the strongest defender in the Heat, he is still very confident.
It's a pity that roaring Tianzun is really not so easy to guard against.
I saw Rasheed Wallace leaning against Grant lightly, without even squeezing in, he turned around and shot.
Although the nickname of Roaring Tianzun is very domineering, it seems to have an unrivaled domineering.
In fact, this one is also fighting and retreating.
He doesn't like confrontation when attacking, and Rasheed Wallace basically shoots from the outside.
The only troublesome thing is his weird shooting action.
Unlike conventional shooting moves, Rasheed Wallace's straight-arm shots have a very high release point.
Coupled with his very good height and wingspan in the fourth position, few people can seal him.
As long as he doesn't meet a scout like Garnett, Rasheed can basically eat all kinds of tricks.
No, Grant tried his best to block it, but his physical condition did not allow it, so he couldn't reach it at all.
It wasn't just that he was in a hurry, he rushed forward too much and directly reached Rashid's arm.
"Di!"
Rasheed Wallace lost his focus and threw the basketball. At the same time, the referee's whistle sounded.
The only good news is that the goal was missed.
But a foul was sent at the beginning, which is not good news for Grant and the Heat.
Rashid made two free throws. After the free throw, he still roared, which is worthy of roaring Tianzun.
"what!"
He had just finished roaring on his side, and Da Ben on the other side also roared angrily, which directly confused Chen Mo.
What are you shouting for?I'm still roaring like a dragon!
The combination of these two people is really the second general, at least in terms of momentum.
The Heat attacked, and Chen Mo continued to use the pick-and-roll to break through. This time, Da Ben stepped up.
Chen Mo was not in a hurry, and patiently observed his teammates. Eddie Jones got rid of it and ran to the middle distance.
The pass immediately caught up, and before Hamilton caught up, Eddie Jones made a steady two-pointer.
4:2
Billups obviously deliberately suppressed the rhythm, patiently waiting for everyone to get in position, and then passed the ball to the inside.
It was still Rasheed playing singles, but this time Grant was smarter, and Rasheed missed the middle distance.
Tony Batty grabbed the rebound, and Billups rushed to grab the ball in the first place.
The pressing is just an appearance, the real purpose is to prevent Tony Batty from playing the ball at the first time and delay the Heat's offensive and defensive transition.
I have to say that it was very effective. Tony Barty protected the ball at the first time, but failed to pass the ball in time.
Chen Mo didn't blindly play pick-and-rolls, such a single offense would only make it too easy for the opponent to defend.
He simply handed over the ball and let Eddie Jones organize the offense. As for him, he was running without the ball.
However, Prince's defense was not bad, and Chen Mo couldn't get out of the open space immediately.
Eddie Jones simply came by himself, but unfortunately, there was no middle distance either.
The two sides played slowly round after round, and neither of them could break the score.
Still the same, the Pistons' offensive explosiveness is not good enough, and it is difficult to suddenly open the score.
Similarly, relying on the top defense, opponents can't easily score points on them.
Chen Mo just got a chance by running and hit a three-pointer. Larry Brown immediately called a timeout.
During the timeout, even the Heat could hear Larry Brown roaring and roaring.
After the timeout, when Prince was defending Chen Mo, he wanted to hang on him directly.
It was through such desperate and entangled defense that made Chen Mo feel uncomfortable.
While defending firmly, Hamilton and Rashid were also leveling the score little by little.
Moreover, Grant, who fouled early, simply encountered a foul crisis and made 6 fouls in the opening 3 minutes.
Van Gundy also had a problem. He didn't replace Grant when he committed 2 fouls, but a 3 foul came immediately after.
No way, the Heat had no choice but to push Haslem up, and there was no one left.
It's just that Haslem's single-defense ability is good, but he is obviously inexperienced in assisting defense and supplementary defense.
Hamilton and Billups hit two strikes one after another, and the score was overtaken directly.
16:18
At 10 minutes and 25 seconds into the first quarter, when Chen Mo took a break, the Heat trailed by two points.
