How terrifying was the 2005-2006 Pistons?

This is a question that is difficult for many to answer.

After the change of coach, the Pistons still retain the defensive philosophy of the old coach Larry Brown's "entangled until the last moment", using accurate positioning and defense again and again, and fouls on the edge of "ferocity" and "brutality" again and again, making the opponent's offense sluggish as constipation.

At the same time, the offensive trend brought by the new coach Philip Sanders has made the Pistons change the routine of "if I don't go well on offense, I will make you attack badly", and let go of a certain amount of freedom on the offensive end, mainly by the backcourt double Billups and Hamilton's wandering attack, coupled with the back heads-up of Rashid Wallace, who roared Tianzun, and the demonic air cut of the maturing little prince Prince.

The Pistons' offense has completely transformed this season, from a defensive team that leads the whole team to a defensive team that is both offensive and defensive.

On the bench, the Pistons, which used the starting five to death in the past, have also made new changes, with McDyes, Evans, Delfino and other players standing out and becoming an important part of supplementing the starting offensive power and contributing a lot of value to the team.

In the original timeline, the Eastern powerhouse, which lost in the Finals last season, turned around and became a dominant team on both offensive and defensive ends, with a 64-18 record in the league.

In the playoffs, the Pistons team also finally reached the Eastern Conference Finals, where they fought six games against the king Heat and finally lost.

Today, the division of kings is about to face the declining aristocratic 76ers in the East, and almost everyone has already set the tone for this game before the game starts:

The 76ers will be crushed in the opening five minutes, completely crushed by the Pistons' aggressive defense and offense, and ultimately lost.

Needless to say, fans and commentators are very supportive of this argument, and even the 76ers themselves have no way to refute it. By any measure, the gap between the two teams is just too big.

How can the 76ers win on the devil's home court of Auburn Hills? Impossible.

And the first five minutes of the game really confirmed this view.

"Aaron!"

On the court, Chris Webb made a trademark behind-the-back pass, and the basketball walked out of the weird line and went straight to Iverson, who cut to the bottom line.

But before the basketball was in place, a slender arm suddenly appeared in the air, and the long arm wrapped around and easily intercepted the basketball.

"Tyshawn, it's beautiful!"

After receiving a return pass after Prince's steal, Pistons brain Billups began to push quickly. After having more offensive initiative this season, this former down-and-out tanhua has been rejuvenated, and the offensive end is no longer as slow as in previous seasons, but chooses fast attack for the first time!

"Oops!"

Iverson secretly shouted that it was not good, and after the opening, he was still the scoring core of the 76ers, hitting 3 of 5 shots, plus free throws, and scored 8 points in less than half a quarter.

But the overall strength of the Pistons is too strong, except for Iverson on the 76ers' side, only Webber relied on a straight arm mid-range shot to score two points, and the team fell behind 10-17!

"Hamilton!"

The long-distance runner Hamilton was fast-paced, and in an instant he had come to the front court, and on the other side, Prince was also fast-paced with long legs and had rushed to the basket.

How will the ball be passed? Was it a basket for Prince? Or Hamilton, who crosses the bottom line and goes out?

The 76ers had only Iverson in place, watching Billups get closer and closer, constantly analyzing.

"I can only gamble!"

Seeing that Billups was about to enter the three-point line, Iverson gritted his teeth and turned around and took a step in the direction of Prince, who was already under the basket.

On the other side, Iguodala also arrived and was only close to blocking the pass to Hamilton, and the 76ers' defense was not too much of a problem!

And that's when Billups's eerie big-picture vision comes into play.

I saw that under Billups's fast attack, he suddenly stopped, stood still outside the three-point line, his body was not completely stable, and he opened his hand to hit a three-point shot.

“BOOM！！！”

With the high-pitched voice of the live DJ, the basketball echoed the net.

Billups chased a three-pointer, and the Pistons scored 20 points in the first quarter!

"Toot!"

76ers coach Cheeks had no choice but to call a timeout, and the game went into an official timeout.

“43.3%……”

Looking at the summary of season data in his hand, Cheeks gritted his teeth and shook his head, and finally raised his head and said to Iverson and Iguodala: "Your choice is right, although Billups has a scary three-point shooting rate, Hamilton's is even more terrifying, averaging 45.8% per game, and there is no problem in letting go of Billups' choice." ”

"But it can't go on like this, their offense is too sharp, the outside defense is too leaky, if we continue to play, we will be directly blown up by one section!"

As he spoke, Cheeks casually glanced at Korver beside him, and the white guy lowered his head a little embarrassed. He knows very well that the outside defensive hole that the coach said is exactly himself.

"Kyle, take a break for the second half of the quarter."

Sure enough, Cheeks thought about it again and again, but still made personnel adjustments, and said: "You have to conserve your strength, whether you can catch up in the next game, your three-point shot is the key." But at the moment, our most important task is not to attack, but to defend! ”

"Chen, Barnes, you two are on the field!"

"Yes!"

Chen Mu and Barnes stood up from the bench and said in unison.

After some tweaks, the 76ers put on a somewhat eccentric lineup.

Iverson is in control, and his backcourt partner is the defensive tough Iguodala. Barnes is placed at the small forward position, who is also a defensive player.

The inside partner is the real ace combination of the 76ers - Chen Mu and Weber.

"Run the offense on the inside axis, and even if the defense breaks the leg, you have to stop them from shooting threes!"

Before going on the field, Cheeks gave such a death order.

“1、2、3…… TEAMWORK！ ”

The players shouted in unison, then walked onto the court, and on the scoreboard, the score was a glaring 10-20, with the 76ers trailing.

In the face of the 76ers' change of formation, Pistons coach Sanders is also very concerned. The lineup of Iverson, Iguodala, and Barnes in the backcourt was apparently designed to prevent the Pistons from shooting three-pointers. But Webb and Chen Mu are both defensive colanders, what is the significance of this lineup?

"Darko, McDyce, you guys replace the twin Wallaces."

After some consideration, Cheeks made a bold rotation and replaced the interior twin towers with two backup interior players who both have some mid-range shooting ability.

"Since you want to play inside attack, I'll play with you to the end......!"

Sanders thought.

When the game restarted, Iverson controlled the ball and went to the front court, and after handing the ball to Webb, he came to the weak side.

"Chen!"

A look at each other, Iverson and Chen Mu seemed to have a heart, and the two quickly blocked and dismantled on the weak side, forcing the Pistons to open up space.

Webber noticed all this, turned the frame and passed the ball horizontally, sending the basketball to Chen Mu's hands.

In front of Chen Mu, the defender is the genius inside Milicic, the new star from Serbia has not been happy in the NBA, but his tall figure, good motor nerves, and the unique delicate feel of a European player are still not to be underestimated.

"Oh? It's on the list......"

In the face of Milicic's defense, Chen Mu smiled slightly, raised his eyes to the basket and said, "You want to explode with me without Rashid?" Coach Sanders is bold enough to ......! ”

"Hmph, rookie, don't think it's great to hit a little bit of data and get the best of the week." Milicic frowned and said viciously: "It's just a draft loser, how much can you do?" You know, I'm a role model! ”

"Bangyan?"

Chen Mu smiled when he heard this: "I think you are just my appetizer~"

While speaking, Chen Mu made a shooting feint, causing Milicic to step forward and rush, and at the moment when his steps changed, Chen Mu had already dribbled sideways sideways.

"Feint!"

By the time Milicic reacted, Chen's trademark mid-range shot had already been shot, and the basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and drilled into the net smoothly.

"Chinese kid ......!"

Milicic was annoyed, and before he came on the court, Coach Sanders told him that he must beware of Chen Mu's mid-range shots. But after all, the game was less, and Milicic's defensive awareness was not in place, and a simple feint was shaken up by Chen Mu, which made him very unwilling.

"Get it back on the offensive end!"

Billups saw the displeasure of his little brother, and after a reminder, he advanced to the front court and handed the ball directly to Milicic for singles.

Chen Mu didn't say a word, his eyes stared directly at the basketball in Milicic's hand, constantly adjusting his pace, leaving no flaws.

Milicic dribbled and tried to advance, but was surprised to find that this Chinese boy was not much different from himself in terms of strength, and when he was stunned, the ball in his hand had been broken.

"Chris is so good!"

Webb was slow on his feet and suffered from injuries and lost his explosive power, but he didn't forget the tackle that he inherited from Divac. After cutting off the ball from Milicic's hand, Webb looked up and saw that a big, yellow-skinned man had rushed to the halfway line, and there was no one around!

"Chen!"

Webb shouted, and sent out a long pass.

"It's an all-round insider!"

Starting with the basketball, there was no discomfort, Chen Mu dribbled forward, and the horse in front of him went straight to the basket.

"Don't think!"

Behind him, Prince was fast, just like the shot that covered Miller back then, and rushed over quickly, wanting to snatch the ball from Chen Mu's hand.

"At this time, it's better to use this trick ......!"

Feeling the footsteps of Prince getting closer and closer, Chen Mu suddenly thought of it, remembering that in the original timeline in the game, he had seen a move made by the old demon guard Kidd, so he simply slowed down his steps and his body suddenly froze.

"...... this kid?!"

Prince didn't expect that Chen Mu, who looked like a stunned young man, would suddenly slow down, his body couldn't be contained, and his right hand, which wanted to steal, had already stretched out and slapped on Chen Mu's left hand.

"Beep!"

The referee on the sidelines naturally did not let go of such an obvious foul, blew the whistle loudly, and then shouted: "Pistons No. 22, obvious offensive path foul!" Two free throws, one throw! ”

“YES！”

Chen Mu stopped, reached out and rubbed his left hand, which was hurt, and turned back to Webber in the backcourt and winked, causing the latter to be stunned, and then laughed out loud.

"Hahahaha...... This Chinese kid is just a rookie, and he has such a basketball IQ! It's amazing! ”
