Chapter 226 The Collapse of Supersonic
In the first half, the Pistons ended up leading the SuperSonics by nine points by virtue of their overall advantage.
At halftime, the locker room on the SuperSonics side was a little silent, as if they didn't know what else to say, or what to say, until the break was about to end, their head coach didn't say a word, and then our tactics were to block and cover, around Ray Allen and Lashad Lewis to coordinate tactically.
Although this is the same as not saying it, but after all, it is also a tactical cooperation, if you keep silent, maybe you will lose your identity as a head coach, the SuperSonics team has experienced two consecutive defeats, if this one loses again, his head coach position does not belong to him.
There was a moment of silence on the Pistons' side, and then Osborne quickly took the lead and said, "Head coach, I think we can break them down in the third quarter. ”
Osborne said this, which can be regarded as a brick throw, head coach Larry Brown was noncommittal, but then he really began to lay out the next tactics, "We don't have many people to use, but our integrity and strength are still far above the supersound." So then we don't have to worry, just pinch the two points of Ray Allen and Rashad Lewis, the rest of you are free, this is our defensive tactics and then our offensive tactics, this game we have an advantage on the inside, you can throw three-pointers, it doesn't matter if you don't score, as long as we control the rebound. ”
Larry Brown didn't seem to say anything too new, he just emphasized the Pistons' baseline strategy against the SuperSonics.
After Larry Brown finished speaking, he didn't say anything more, and the whole crew took the stage majestically, and Osborne felt that hitting the supersonic was the only good way for the Pistons to play, but whether it can succeed depends on his own feel and the state of his teammates.
In the second half, the supersonic team began a counterattack, first of all, Ray Allen opened the team's first three-point shot, which stunned everyone who knew him, you must know that Ray Allen has always been able to dunk it, and if it can't be deducted, he has to dunk it to create conditions, and today he actually tried to shoot three points, which is really incredible, and what is even more incredible is that he hit this three-point shot steadily.
Osborne didn't expect the marksman to start trying three-point shooting early, Osborne secretly thought to himself, will this ball be a turning point in Ray Allen's career, but Osborne immediately denied it, the three-point shot is not good, you must have three-point talent, otherwise how can you know that the three-point shot is good, but not everyone can shoot three-pointers, which is why even the basketball god Michael Jordan can't practice the three-point shot.
So he can also hit key threes whenever the team needs to, but the shooting percentage in regulation time can't be seen directly.
Osborne also ran through the team's pick-and-roll positions, and the SuperSonics defenders couldn't keep up with him at all, and Osborne had a good hand, after he received a pass from Chaunsibilups, Osborne didn't hesitate to shoot, although he didn't score, but center Memetoku grabbed the offensive rebound, and then he pressed the Supersonic center under him with a dunk.
Then Ray Allen wanted to fight back, he still wanted to respond to the humiliation of the Pistons by dunking, although the ball was not directly humiliating him, but he had to set an example as the boss of the team, he broke through Chaunsibilups's shot all the way into the Pistons restricted area, at this time Daco Milicic and Memet Oku came to block him, but he was fearless, jumped up directly, and then thought about the action, at this time Ray Allen had been pressed by Daco Milicic, so he changed his action, Turn a dunk into a pick-and-roll.
He used his strong waist and abdominal strength to forcibly change his pick-up action, but his arm stretched out, but his body was sandwiched by Dacomilisic and Memiteoku, there was no way he had to subconsciously make a pick-and-roll action, and then his small body was knocked away, and his ball went in.
Osborne saw clearly from the outside, Ray Allen's ball was super difficult, and this ball was not a regular way of playing at all, he scored the basketball with his superior basketball feeling.
The referee then gave Dacomilisic a foul and Ray Alenga made a penalty.
The pain in Ray Allen's body still did not dissipate, and he endured the pain to score the free throw.
Unfortunately, Ray Allen's performance also became the supersonics' swan song for this game.
Larry Brown didn't expect that the two men on the inside couldn't guard Ray Allen, and he was very dissatisfied with Dacomilisic's performance, so he pressed Dacomilisic to the bench and replaced Elden Campbell.
After that, the Pistons' defensive rating was upgraded to a level, and the Pistons' offense was more fluid, Chauncey Billups took the whole team on a fancy tactical tour, and then Osborn's shots were repeatedly hit, and Richard Hamilton's defense was also repeatedly successful, and Rashad Lewis of defense was not wanted.
The offensive and defensive levels of the Pistons have been raised by one level, and the supersonic side immediately can't bear it, and the supersonic team at this time has changed from the pas de deux of Ray Allen and Rashad Lewis to the solo dance of Ray Allen, and Ray Allen tried his best but still couldn't resist the overall crushing of the Pistons.
Osborne's instantaneous scoring ability was on full display with the SuperSonics.
In the third quarter of the game, the Pistons will collectively exert their strength, directly destroying the will of the SuperSonics team, although Ray Allen still has the heart to resist, but he has the intention to kill the thief and has no power to return to the sky, so he can only watch his team being beaten by the Pistons.
At the end of the third quarter, the Pistons led the SuperSonics by 12 points, 72-60. Don't look at the point difference is not particularly large, but this is also the mercy of the Pistons, otherwise the Pistons would have led the SuperSonics by more than 20 points.
So even the most combative team boss Ray Allen has no motivation, he watched himself being beaten, and he was really beaten, no matter how he chased, the Pistons could always control the score above 10 points.
This made them very devastated, not knowing what to do next, whether to surrender and admit defeat to avoid any unacceptable score gap, or continue to resist and find a glimmer of hope of narrowing the score, they did not even dare to have the idea of victory. (To be continued.) )
