Chapter 196 [Nothing is great]

On the sidelines, Lawrence applauded Wang Jun hard.

He is very satisfied with his tactics. As long as he gives Wang Jun a chance, he is more efficient than Jefferson.

The Pistons attacked and Hamilton was followed again. Today he was the Nets' primary target of defense. Wang Jun and Rodney double-teamed.

After dividing the ball, Kidd made up for the defense of Oku. Oku did not make a strong shot, so he passed the ball to Billups.

Billups made an open three-pointer and returned one.10-4.

When the Nets attacked, Wang Jun did not rely on pick-and-roll and forced Hamilton to slip away from the bottom line.

To deal with Hamilton, he doesn't need to cover without the ball, and his teammates just need to pull it away.

Kidd dribbled the ball and played pick-and-roll from outside the three-point line, and Ben Wallace defended it out.

If he doesn't go out, Kidd will get an open position directly. Countless people criticized Kidd's offense, but his three-pointer was actually pretty good. When he was on the Mavericks, he was more confident in the open position. He averaged nearly 5 three-point shots in the past two seasons, with a shooting percentage of about 35%.

Kidd did not break through, so he leaned his body with the ball and sent the ball from the big side to the low post.

Wang Jun just leaned against Hamilton when the ball came to him and it felt comfortable to catch it. He turned to the bottom line. Oku hurriedly let go of Rodney back to the basket to make up for defense.

Wang Jun saw Oku coming up, moved a step horizontally, and moved the ball to the bottom corner on the left.

He didn't see the gap, but Lawrence arranged for Dronney to stand on the left bottom corner to attract defense. No need to worry about the rest, the person must be there.

Rodney got an open spot and aimed for a jump shot. 13 to 4.

"It's another one. The Nets made 3 of 3 three-pointers at the beginning, and Wang Jun added an assist." Yu Jia said with a smile.

Zhang Heli exclaimed: "The Nets play so smoothly. Rodney's quality is not comparable to Martin, and it is not suitable for pick-and-roll. He cannot quickly cut, but only by looking at the range, he is farther than Martin. He used to rely on three-pointers to make a living."

"The Pistons have only lost 87.1 points per game this season. I think the Nets' score must have exceeded this number. Collins is not going to play. Their defense is weaker and their offense will be much better."

When the Pistons attacked, Hamilton still couldn't run out of the room. Billups passed the ball to Wallace, who cut the ball in the middle. Just as he was about to get stronger under the basket, Kidd fouled again.

Da Ben didn't shoot, so he didn't have free throws and served outside the boundary.

The ball was passed to Oku, who was given to Prince, who could not beat Jefferson.

After several passes back and forth, Billups missed the ball with a cold arrow from the outside, and the rebound was grabbed by Martin.

In the positional battle between the Nets, Jefferson relied on cover to avoid Prince and Kidd passed the ball from close range.

Oku made a defense, and Jefferson took a quick first step. He successfully broke through in the middle and killed the basket.

Wallace made up for defense, but Jefferson did not pass, so he chose to throw high and avoid the block. The ball went out of the basket, and Wallace turned around and got the rebound.

Larry Brown frowned on the sidelines, although he didn't make it. But this opportunity was also good, and the Pistons had time to defend.

The Pistons attacked. The Nets strictly guarded against the periphery and relaxed slightly against Wallace and Prince.

Wallace was empty when he was cut into the basket at the periphery, and he would directly foul if he got close. He was short and it took time to jump to dunk.

This strategy not only prevented the periphery, but also made the Pistons' offensive rhythm intermittent. Wallace was sent to the free throw line for the third time, but he still made one of two free throws. 13 to 5.

The Pistons strengthened their defense against Wang Jun, allowing Oku to defend the middle and Prince's bottom line, curbing Wang Jun's empty cut.

Prince is 206cm tall and has no moisture. He is as tall as Wallace, who has an explosive head, and is good at interfering with shooting.

Seeing Prince thin, Wang Jun tried to attack one of them from behind, but was blocked.

Prince's pick-and-roll speed was also amazing, reminding Wang Jun of Kirilenko and Marion. The three of them had similar body shapes.

Prince currently averages only 11 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game, but his role is much greater than the data shows. Wang Jun can't fight alone, so he can only suppress the shots and wait for opportunities on the outside.

Kidd and Jefferson fought against the offensive banner, followed by cover and took turns to beat Oku, and made a quick stop and jump shot.

Brown was forced to make adjustments, replace Oku, replace Chris Williams, who was 201cm tall, and enhances his mobility. He finally stabilized the situation, but was brought into the ball rhythm by the Nets.

Hamilton, who swore to teach Wang Jun a lesson, made 0 of 4 shots at the beginning, but failed to score a single point.

Wang Jun and Hamilton were close to each other, and he was not stable in the center of gravity when he could run. When Hamilton ran, he ran with him, and his opponent was not too fast.

He really felt that Hamilton was nothing special.

Hamilton's first move was not fast, and he did not have fancy fake moves, and the three-pointer was unreliable; Wang Jun could play without the ball, and could rely on his body to take advantage of the weak No. 2 position, and his shooting distance was even longer.

The other impression Hamilton left on him was that the defensive end was dirty, and if there was no strength, he would make up for it by small movements, lower the center of gravity and press his elbows, and push his knees toward the human leg.

It may be effective against others. Wang Jun is not afraid of this, he does not break through without a frame.

Hamilton was defended in the first quarter, and the Pistons could not open the attack. Prince made 5 shots and only scored 1 goal.

Larry Brown is a famous coach, but he is very stubborn in using people, always fixed the lineup and made appropriate adjustments. What he is good at is not offense, but arranges iron-blooded defense.

Faced with a team like the Nets that have no inside attack, it is possible to let Oku sit on the bench throughout the game and move fast on the people. Anyway, there is no need to worry about the height of the basket.

If Williams is replaced, it is better to go to Milicic.

The second-tier player has the ability to shoot and move very quickly. Today, he will not have any problems with defending the basket. If he can attack with a low post, Rodney and Martin are not tall, they may be very difficult to defend.

However, Brown is a dictator and uses whoever he likes.

No matter how bad Wallace's offense is, he will keep him on the court. The reason is that he is good at defense and full of fighting spirit. But no matter how strong his fighting spirit is, it cannot change the fact that he is emptied on the outside.

Milicic sat on the sidelines in a daze, watching those who he thought were far inferior to him fighting on the court.

If Wang Jun encounters such a thing, he will first communicate with the head coach and fight for playing time. If he really doesn't give him a chance, he will then propose a deal.

The temptation of the second place is still very great. The Mavericks like Milicic very much and lack an inside line. As long as the Pistons are willing to offer a price, they will definitely get one of Walker or Jamison.

Milicic signs a big contract and looks like a slut, just waiting on the bench. This is a real waste of talent and may be ruined.

The Nets led 30-18 in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, Kitels led a substitute and continued to suppress the Pistons, widening the gap to 20 points.

Selke Rebracha of Corinth, Rodney, who had been resting for a while, continued to play and opened up space with Korver.

Three three-pointers attract defense, Rucios can break through with the ball after pick-and-roll, and attack with the misplaced attack.

The Pistons had no substitute who could grab points. Only Chucky Atkins, who was 180cm tall, scored 4 points, and formed a double defender with Sula and had defensive loopholes.

Many home fans are not happy anymore. Milicic has never played. Brown arranged tactics for Atkins like a brain disease. He is not Iverson.

The Pistons coach and players are still running in, but their opponent, the Nets, has finished running in.
