Chapter 653 Winning the first home game
In the rest area of the Warriors, Wilkens looked at his players with a smile on his face. Thinking of the exciting games played by these guys before, he couldn't help but praise and said: "Boys, your performance is amazing. Fantastic, I think the main Pistons will be very surprised by your performance!"
"Haha, it looks good!"
Payton pointed to the side of the Pistons with a smirk on his face. Not to mention, as he pointed to the Pistons, the rest of the players smiled after seeing their calm expressions!
Before the two teams started the game, the Pistons' defense and the Warriors' offense caused a large number of fans and the media to argue!
Some people say that the Warriors will definitely use their various offenses to completely crush the Pistons, but the other side's rhetoric is a bit interesting!
"Hey, buddy, if you believe those guys, I will tell you very clearly that you are so..."
Barkley said to Bill Lambiel with a smile on his face, whenever he remembered what the other group of people said before, he couldn't help laughing!
"Come on, Charles, don't you need a strong defense here?? Don't you think the Warriors can win the championship just by relying on the offense of the Warriors?? They are just lucky!!"
Lambir said with some disdain, obviously agreeing with the other party's words!
Before the start of the game, although there are still a large number of fans and experts who are not optimistic about the Pistons, many celebrities and some team managers still have great respect for the Pistons!
In the playoffs, the Pistons have proved to everyone that they can enter the finals only with their strong defense!
No matter what outsiders say, even if the Pistons are indeed a bit embarrassing on the offensive end, after all, the playoffs and finals need defense very much!
Now, in the debate between the two kinds of speeches, in the previous quarter and a half of the performance of the Warriors, the first one was absolutely in the limelight, but those who were optimistic about the Pistons suddenly lost their voices!
On the court, when the timeout was over, the fans cheered loudly as the main lineups of both sides appeared on the stage one after another!
All of them know what the Warriors are doing when they win this year's championship. Once the Warriors successfully defend their title this season, is it far from creating a new dynasty?Of course not! !
On the court, Lynch Hunter followed Billups with a stern expression. As a veteran, his keen sense of defense is really beyond the consideration of ordinary young people!
For example, now, when Billups came to the frontcourt, Hunter first pretended to be close to him, and as the former subconsciously evaded, he directly rushed up and ran towards Billups with a sense of bluff. !
As the starting point guard of the Warriors, Billups has obviously adapted to the defensive habits of these players from the 90s under the usual training with Payton!
When he saw Hunter rushing towards him quickly, Billups first turned his body to the latter, and then even as the opponent approached, he gently protected his left arm in front of his right hand holding the ball, and then a With a random nudge, with a momentary gap, his left leg quickly stepped out, blocking the opponent behind him, and then quickly rushed to the inside line!
Billups's seemingly easy passing made the rest of the Pistons react quickly. When the former quickly approached the outside of the penalty area, the extremely fast Hamilton first went to block, and then Billups made a gesture to make a move. Under the action of passing, Lao La directly stood in the middle of the passing route, obviously Hamilton trusted his teammates very much!
And Hamilton's trust was well rewarded. Okur, who was on the right side of the penalty area, stepped out quickly. After delaying Billups' movement, he didn't look at him at all, and then quickly returned to defense. Run to Nowitzki!
Afterwards, with the Pistons chained up one after another, and the defensive connection was very strong, Billups was gradually forced to stop outside the three-second zone!
Seeing the successful defense of the Pistons, Lambiel proudly said to Barkley: "Did you see it? My Sir Charles??"
"Hehe, they are just lucky!"
Even though as a commentator, it seems a little uncomfortable to put his departure firmly aside, but as Lambiel played against the stage from time to time, Barkley still chose his true thoughts in his heart!
On the court, Billups was surrounded by the Pistons, and his teammates had no room to receive his pass. In the end, he had no choice but to force his shot!
"boom!!"
With a muffled sound, Billups' shot ended with a strike, and Rasheed Wallace, who had already locked his position, took the rebound very easily!
After that, as time passed, when the second quarter ended, the Pistons had already recovered the point difference between the two teams in an instant by virtue of their very good defense and close teamwork!
Back in the locker room, the relaxation and freehand expression on the faces of the Warriors players disappeared, replaced by a deep review!
"In this half of the game, we can say that we have played very well!"
Wilkens didn't blame the players, but sent them encouragement with a gentle face!
"Of course, while your performance is good, there is already a hint of complacency in your emotions. Therefore, I hope that you will quickly adjust your state in the second half of the game. I don't want to see a loss. , the fans in the audience didn't want to see it either!"
After Wilkens finished speaking, all the Warriors players fell into deep thought!
In their minds, following the super performance in the previous quarter and a half, they were cautious before the game, and gradually a little bit of arrogance appeared amidst the mediocre performance of the Pistons.
Before, when the Pistons showed their very strong team defense, the Warriors' previously smooth offense was directly greatly affected!
As a top team in the league, they not only need to adjust their emotions and state at all times, but also need to be responsible for their performance at all times!
After the half-time break, with the return of the main players of both sides, an exciting defensive battle was directly presented to all the fans!
On the court, the constant physical contact between the Warriors and the Pistons made the fans around them very clear about what it represented, and there would be bursts of exclamation from time to time!
In a defensive battle, once one side fails to withstand it in the end, it will bring final failure and deep frustration!
In basketball, it can best reflect a player's psychological quality, some are paranoid, some are blind, and some are passionate. When this way of playing is fully utilized, once the team loses the game, the failure The shadow will fall on their heads in an instant. No one is willing to see the result of failure after putting in effort. Obviously, basketball players care more about this!
In the third quarter of the game, the offensive end between the two sides rarely performed very well.
However, with the gradual escalation of the defensive intensity, the fierce scenes of body collisions brought a kind of enthusiasm and excitement to all fans!
When the two sides only scored 20 and 22 points in this quarter, after the whistle sounded, the entire arena burst into loud cheers, which was a wonderful defensive battle for both sides.
"This is the game!!!"
Lambiel swung his arm vigorously. He likes this kind of competition with real knives and guns. He just likes the feeling that he may be trampled underfoot by the opponent at any moment!
"Yes, they played an extremely exciting game!!"
Barkley nodded in agreement. As the super giants of the 90s, they have experienced one game after another!
Now, seeing that the two sides are able to play such an iron-blooded performance, even though Barkley and Lambiel have some differences, they are still obsessed with such a fierce confrontation!
In the rest area, the players on both sides were panting, especially the Pistons!
When they fought fiercely with the Warriors' substitutes before, after experiencing a full quarter of high-intensity confrontation, their physical strength was no longer enough to support them to continue to play with the previous intensity!
However, because there is still a quarter of the game, they can't think of slack. If they want to rest, the easiest way is to defeat the opponent and take a good rest for two or three days. Otherwise, there will be no suspense in the final result. up!
Larry Brown looked at his main players with a frown, watching them keep wiping their sweat, and couldn't help feeling depressed!
The strength of the Warriors' bench, I believe there is no team in the league that is not clear!
Now, with these substitutes showing exceptionally strong attack power, even Larry Brown, who was very confident in his team's defense before, was secretly surprised!
When the intermission was coming to an end, Larry Brown finally made his choice after careful consideration!
"Rashid, I hope that you can recover most of your physical strength as soon as possible within 5 minutes. If you stay on the field in the fourth quarter, then the final decisive battle will definitely make us regret it, so..."
As Larry Brown spoke, he pointed to the team's substitutes one by one, and then applauded them vigorously when the whistle sounded.
Back on the court, both sides put their substitute lineups on the field. In the first 5 minutes of the game, the Warriors players still had a very strong performance on the offensive end. I am afraid that they will directly let the Warriors lead them by at least 10 points in this short period of time!
"drop!!"
Seeing that the time had come for the substitution he had made, Larry Brown decisively called a timeout!
After that, as the two sides sent the main players to play again, the Warriors kept trying to expand the score while leading the Pistons by 5 points!
The Pistons are still maintaining a strong defense, trying every means to quickly recover the score!
When the confrontation between them entered the last 40 seconds, the Pistons finally chased the score to only two points with Hamilton's active running!
"Damn, why did I make such a low-level mistake??"
Larry Brown cursed himself secretly with an angry expression on his face. It was unbelievable to him to think that he had stupidly called all the timeouts!
However, this is the case. Without any timeout, the Warriors entered the final 20 seconds. With a strategic foul, they still lead the Pistons by 3 points!
"drop!!"
In the end, when the whistle sounded for the end of the game, the Warriors relied on the Pistons' continuous fouls at the last moment, which made them finally win the first victory of the finals with 80:77!
