During the Pistons' half, after settling into a 1-2-2 offensive formation, Hardaway held the ball to the right side of the top arc and fed Stoudemire, who had been pulled to a 45-degree angle on the right side.
At the same time, Marion quickly moved down the middle, and after receiving Stoudemire's pass, he distributed the ball to the left corner.
Ray Allen moved quickly and did not give Bell, who was ambushing in the left corner, a chance to make a move. However, after Bell returned the ball to Iverson at a 45-degree angle on the left, and Iverson returned the ball to Hardaway, At this moment, the Pistons' defense was completely stretched by the Suns.
At this time, as Hardaway guided the ball back to Iverson, Iverson, who was at a 45-degree angle on the left, could either choose to break out or shoot by himself.
Hardaway is tall. When he could stand in a dealer position with overall control, he clearly discovered that by squashing, transferring, squashing, and transferring again, the Suns easily broke the Pistons. Watch the quartet.
On the Suns bench, Wang Shuo smiled and said: "That's why I said the way to break the one-to-one four-man combination is in our usual training sessions."
This season, when the sun sets, Wang Shuo usually emphasizes sharing the ball the most. (Note ①)
Because in essence, no matter how fast the rotation of personnel is or how fast the players fill each other's positions, the one-to-one four-way defense is ultimately a four-person zone defense system.
Therefore, as long as the players on the court can use the correct passing route to stretch the Pistons' defense, with the Suns' tacit understanding, Wang Shuo does not need to worry that the Suns will not be able to break the Pistons in the game. What they learned from the Suns One stare at the four links.
On the court, Iverson broke into the paint and hit a short jump shot.
0 to 2.
Come back and the Pistons attack.
Watching the Sun directly give his side the "cutest height difference" matchup, Billups signaled his teammates to pull away from Prince, and Prince executed the attack on Iver at a 45-degree angle on the left. Sen's single.
Iverson kept harassing Prince with the ball, forcing Prince to never find a good opportunity to pull up.
Prince is tall and has long arms, but unfortunately, he does not have the ability to make hard tackles from the outside at any time.
This has nothing to do with his physical talent, just because his shooting package and technical characteristics do not allow him to do this.
On the stage of the finals, success rate is king.
Except for those top-level pull-up monsters, this style of play is definitely irresponsible to the team.
Therefore, after observing the triple threat posture for two seconds, Prince chose to force Iverson's right hand.
However, as soon as Prince got inside to prepare for a throw, Stoudemire pounced on him.
On the basketball court, due to the limited field of vision of the ball holder, unless he is a top passer, if Prince can pass half of the ball a hundred times, Wang Shuo will be considered superior.
If Wang Shuo remembers correctly, Prince's career average of assists per game is less than 3, and his style and characteristics are similar to those of future Klay Thompson.
When attacking, he mainly plays without the ball, making air cuts, and three-pointers. When defending, he is tall and long-armed. In addition to covering a wide area, he can also defend the opponent's forward offensive core alone.
But since Prince's shooting is far less unsolvable than Clay's, if the Pistons count on him to beat Iverson tonight, it is undoubtedly putting the cart before the horse.
Because this will undoubtedly magnify Prince's shortcomings and affect the team's offensive rhythm.
Under Stoudemire's interference, Prince missed the throw. Stoudemire turned around and grabbed the rebound before Ben.
The Suns attacked, and the Pistons retreated quickly, preventing the Suns from launching a transition attack.
For this ball, Hardaway still held the ball high on the right side.
The only difference is that when Stoudemire reached a 45-degree angle and was about to catch the ball, Stoudemire suddenly turned around and went down. While taking the base away, his movement was also delayed for a moment. At this time, he was going down. Ray Allen went to plug the holes in the team's defense.
Seeing this, Hardaway immediately moved the ball to the bottom corner. After getting the ball, Bell made a decisive three-pointer!
Uh-huh!
0 to 5!
On CCTV, after Bell drained the net with a three-pointer, Coach Zhang said: "Although the three-point shot in the last game was not very good, this time, Bell was as determined as ever when he took the shot!"
Come back and the Pistons attack.
Billups used the "pistol tactic" with the ball.
But at this time, Hardaway's advantage in playing point guard was also reflected.
That is, at about 2 meters tall, he can not only prevent the Pistons' first pick-and-roll by directly switching defenses, but also, excluding the moisture in his hair, he is probably taller than Ben, and can immediately build a relationship with Marion. The second line of defense.
Ray Allen had no chance of running the ball and could only pass the ball back to Billups.
At the critical moment, the hard work of this Pistons can only be completed by Billups and Wallace.
The latter, due to Billups not giving him enough time to open up the space, is likely to be flanked by the Suns' forwards and make a mistake the moment he gets the ball.
So this ball can only be scored by Billups himself.
But Billups also has his weaknesses.
That is what the Suns have repeatedly demonstrated in G1 and G2: assault capability.
Therefore, after Hardaway switched defense and returned to Billups, Billups obviously accelerated his release speed in order to grab the ball.
However, this method of shooting is destined to be impossible to guarantee a hit rate.
when!
Under the basket, Marion took advantage of Michael's position to get the rebound.
On the sidelines, on the Pistons bench, Carlisle and Stotts were ready to apply for a timeout.
Because both Carlisle and Stotts knew that tonight, the Suns not only destroyed all the cards they showed in the G2 game, but also suppressed them on the field.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Looking at Stotts, Carlisle said helplessly: "Terry, although I don't want to admit it, I think...
We really lost a lot tonight in terms of tactics. "
Hearing this, Stotts smiled bitterly and said: "Rick, this is a reality we have to admit. However, we still have our advantages in this series."
Carlisle nodded and said: "In this game, we can only look at our substitutes!"
Just like what Wang Shuo told Barkley before, he is not a god, and it is impossible for him to smooth the lineup gap between the Suns and the Pistons through cheating.
Therefore, Wang Shuo's arrangement for this series has been to find ways to use offense to replace the Pistons' advantage in the lineup by creating a more comfortable output environment for Stoudemire and Iverson.
In the G1 game, he successfully did this.
In this G3, he further liberated the "Domineering" combination by putting Hardaway in the starting lineup.
Although on the surface it seemed that Hardaway only liberated Iverson after coming on the court, in fact, the "killer" of the Suns also liberated Stoudemire.
Because the inside and outside combination of Iverson and Stoudemire has always been that the stronger one is, the other will benefit from it.
On the court, the Suns attacked and the Pistons switched back to man-to-man defense. Because someone had to make up for Iverson's breakthrough that put life and death at risk, Stoudemire also saw the opportunity to fly into the air at the right time and received Iverson's call. Hit the ball after passing the ball!
0 to 7!
Da Ben was exhausted both physically and mentally tonight.
When the Pistons took a timeout, he looked confused at this moment with an Afro hairstyle.
In this year's finals, basically, Ben was either on his way to help defend, or Stoudemire had already gotten the ball into the basket in various ways before his help arrived.
Da Ben was very unconvinced in his heart.
Because if it's Yao Ming's kind, it would be okay if he is beaten into a "little alarm clock" in front of his face in post-up singles...
But with Stoudemire's offensive method...
Why have people been saying since the start of this finals that his best defensive player was "gifted" to him by the league? Did he just get the benefits of the Pistons' defensive system?
In Big Ben's opinion, he is obviously the best defensive player on his own merit? It’s not a “gift” at all!
Can......
Even though I want to roar inside.
But Ben had already lost his temper by Stoudemire.
After this timeout, the Pistons made substitutions, with Okur on and Ben off.
After the timeout, the Pistons were no longer obsessed with finding Iverson, the Suns' absolute defensive weakness.
The Pistons can certainly find ways to attack Iverson through constant pick-and-rolls.
But because this Pistons lacks a blaster, it is destined that they will not be able to hide Iverson on the court like the Spurs did before.
"I'm curious, when did you figure this out?" Mike Brown looked at Wang Shuo on the Suns bench and asked.
Wang Shuo smiled and said, "It was Larry Brown who made me figure this out."
After a pause, Wang Shuo continued: "While I was resting, I looked for Allen's game videos from the 76ers period and watched them, and I found...
Many times, the 76ers can win when Allen is outplayed by opposing offensive players. "
Brown smiled and said: "I understand, our strategy tonight is actually the same as the 76ers back then.
What we have to do is not to block Allen's defensive weakness, but to make up for Allen's defensive weakness by guarding other Pistons. "
Wang Shuo nodded and said: "That's why I decided to start Anfernee because he is the only one in our lineup who can play against Chauncey Billups."
Putting aside all the shortcomings and just looking at defense, Larry Brown is indeed a master.
Previously, what Wang Shuo and others had been thinking about was to use the help of teammates to defend and fill positions to fill Iverson's defensive weaknesses on the court.
However, in fact, as long as one logic is straightened out, the Suns don't have to worry about Iverson's defense in this series.
That is, whether the Pistons get 40 or 50 points from Iverson.
As long as the Suns turn around and use Iverson's scoring and involvement ability to score the same points as the Pistons, the Suns can decisively let go of Iverson's matchup.
Because, for a team with a mature system, when you concentrate resources and change methods to attack a certain defensive weakness of the opponent, your own offensive system cannot be unaffected.
Therefore, the Suns only need to control the other four players on the Pistons court.
And this is why Larry Brown was able to lead the 76ers to the Finals by relying solely on defense.
It's just that in that "Game of the Century", the 76ers' defense couldn't limit "OK" at the same time.
American West Arena, tonight, the Suns fans at the scene were surprised to find...
When Hardaway is on the court, the Suns' offense is not only organized very methodically, but also, when on defense, he can hold down the man who always gives you a fatal blow at critical moments in this year's finals. Pussy.
Facts have proved that cold Excel can only be used as a reference.
Especially when it comes to a specific game.
In the first quarter of this game, just looking at the technical statistics, Hardaway, who shot 0-for-2 from the field, seemed not to have brought much help to the Suns except for 3 assists.
But fans who have watched the game will never think so.
Because during the game, Hardaway's two shots were both due to the Suns' attack being blocked, and he took the initiative to step up and take the ball.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
With the help of "Old Penny", Stoudemire and Iverson can be said to have stirred up the inside of the Pistons in this quarter.
Especially after the Pistons withdrew their capital.
What can Okur use to defend Stoudemire?
The first quarter of the game, American West Arena, 26 to 35.
In the second quarter of the game, both sides made adjustments to their lineups.
The Pistons' second team is: Ben, Robinson, Williams, Ray Allen, and Mike James.
The Suns' second team is: Chandler, Horry Sr., Marion, Barry Sr., and Diaw.
Wang Shuo switched to Marion to lead the Suns' second lineup tonight and placed Diaw at the point guard position.
Although the youth version of Diaw cannot compete with Hardaway in terms of dribbling skills, he is now slender and can still dribble at half-court speed.
Wang Shuo is worried that the Pistons will continue to use the one-to-four combination that was successfully cracked by the Suns tonight in the second lineup.
Therefore, he must put Barry Sr., the most accurate shooter in the Suns, on the court.
Barry Sr. had a three-point shooting rate of close to 40% in his career. In the 2004/05 season, when he was teammates with Yao Ming, his three-point shooting rate was as high as 45.1%, and his shooting level was basically good.
The result was exactly as Wang Shuo expected.
At the beginning of the second quarter, after Ray Allen scored two points on an air cut, the Pistons once again set up a one-to-four combination.
On the basketball court, there are never unsolvable tactics.
The Pistons set up a one-to-four combination at this moment because Carlisle and Stotts wanted to replicate the success they had in the last game against the Suns.
In the G2 game, since the Suns were responsible for leading the second lineup at the time, Stoudemire was in charge, so in order to control Ray Allen, Wang Shuo could only send Bell out.
But tonight, as Wang Shuo further adjusted his staff rotation ideas...
With Marion leading the team, because the Suns can arrange for Marion to face off against Ray Allen, Barry Sr. can get playing time.
With this ball, under Diaw's dispatch, the Suns successfully found Barry Sr. lurking in the left corner.
Uh-huh!
28 to 38!
Come back and the Pistons attack.
Under Marion's close pressing, Ray Allen's output space was obviously affected.
At this time, another weakness of this Pistons was also exposed to the world.
That is, in addition to lacking blasters, they also lack a core ball-handling forward.
Robinson is a standard 3D player at the moment, while Williams is a heavy striker with no 3s but only Ds.
Facing ordinary teams, the Pistons can certainly use Williams' weight to play from behind and attack the opponent's defense.
But facing the Suns with Chandler...
The young James' athletic talent is immeasurable, let alone Williams?
On the Suns' bench, although Wang Shuo had previously said that he was not a god, in Barkley's eyes...
This guy is clearly being modest!
Because tonight...
In Barkley's view, Wang Shuo has used tactical adjustments and personnel rotation to smooth the gap between the Suns and Pistons in the second lineup!
“In this game, we are a side that can take the initiative, so we can naturally take advantage.
Basketball is a turn-based sport, and so is the finals.
Charles, I'm really not the 'coaching god' you call me. "In the second quarter of the game, Wang Shuo said with a helpless smile as he looked at Barkley who was rubbing his shoulders and back.
After hearing this, after rubbing Wang Shuo's legs, Buckley took out his notebook and recorded Wang Shuo's modesty at the moment "exactly."
At American West Arena, tonight they failed to use the second team to recover the point difference. As the game progressed, Carlisle and Stotts looked increasingly ugly.
At halftime, 51 to 65.
After the intermission...
In the third quarter, Ray Allen's two consecutive three-pointers for the Pistons from the outside gave the Pistons fans in front of the TV some hope.
But soon, as Iverson rushed towards the Pistons' interior with explosives on his shoulders again and again amid the cheers of the home fans...
The Pistons fans immediately became dejected shortly after gaining hope.
“In this series, our biggest advantage is Amare’s impact and Allen’s hard-hitting ability.
In a basketball game, no matter how complicated the tactics on the field are, the essence is that as long as I score more points than you, I can beat you.
So sometimes we attack to defend and sometimes we defend to attack. "In the third quarter of the game, Wang Shuo said to the three Barkleys on the Suns bench.
"It was like the second quarter of our game tonight," Barkley laughed.
Wang Shuo nodded and said: "Of course we don't have as many cards as the Pistons in this round of finals.
But as long as we make good use of the cards in our hand, the Pistons are not an opponent we can't defeat. "
On the sidelines, Spoelstra, who was sent to Phoenix to study by Riley, feels that what he has gained this year is even better than what he learned in the previous ten years.
By Wang Shuo's side, what Spoelstra learned the most was how to mix a good hand with a bad hand to defeat the opponent's good hand, and in turn concentrate the good cards in his own hand to fight to the death. Suppress the playable cards in the opponent's hand.
From "a newbie in the poker world" to "a big shot in the poker world", Wang Shuo might not believe it...
In a sense, he indirectly helped Spoelstra avoid more than ten years of detours.
NBA, another supernova in the coaching world is about to rise!
At America West Arena, the Pistons never gave up their resistance tonight.
In this year's finals, during the battle with Wang Shuo, Carlisle and Stotts also absorbed advanced tactical theoretical knowledge and personnel rotation concepts from Wang Shuo.
The reason Carlisle didn't choose to give up was simple, that is, he wanted to give full play to the Pistons' advantages in the lineup.
The Pistons can certainly lose this game.
But no matter what, in the eyes of Carlisle and Stotts, the Suns must pay a certain price.
Faced with this "conspiracy" of the Pistons, Wang Shuo had no choice.
Because basically everyone on this Pistons can shoot three-pointers, except for Ben and Williams.
Therefore, it would be okay if it was a normal game, but on the stage of the finals, Wang Shuo did not want to be nailed to the pillar of shame because of a "crash in the final quarter".
In the end, 101 to 118.
In the G3 game of the finals, the Suns had the last laugh.
In the entire game, Iverson scored a total of 34 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 assists for the Suns.
Stoudemire also scored 26 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 assists.
Marion took on more defensive tasks in this game and didn't score much, only 17 points. However, he grabbed 11 rebounds for the Suns, sent 4 assists, 3 steals, and 2 blocks, but he did it with ice coldness. Excel proved his ubiquity on the court.
Tonight, "Penny", who started the game, made only 1 of 5 shots. Counting free throws, he only scored 4 points, 5 rebounds, and 7 assists.
But after this night, no one dared to question Wang Shuo's decision to put him on the starting list.
Because of this game, Billups, the key figure in the Pistons, only made 3 of 11 shots from the field, including 3 of 9 three-pointers. Counting free throws, he only scored 13 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 assists for the team. .
Previously, when Wang Shuo discussed tactics with everyone, Ray Allen, the Pistons' "No. 2" player who was mentioned many times and repeatedly, still performed stably in this game, making 5 of 9 shots from beyond the three-point line, including free throws and two. points, scoring a total of 24 points for the team.
Although, after adapting in the first two games, the Suns' defensive success rate has been greatly improved when facing various versions of advanced tactics launched by the Pistons players at positions 1, 2, and 5, Wang Shuo still has no way to be on the court. Limit Ray Allen's scoring.
Because Ray Allen, who has completed his transformation at this moment...
Just like in basketball articles, no matter how many times the author writes about the "No. 2 player" and notes and emphasizes that this tactic requires the "No. 2 player" to have a certain shooting ability in order to be launched, it will still be criticized by handsome readers. It's as gorgeous as ignoring it. (Note ②)
In this series, Ray Allen's style is determined. Whenever the camera is on him, it is definitely not good news for the Suns.
On the evening of the 9th, after successfully rewriting the big score of this series to 2-1, Wang Shuo was not blindly optimistic.
Because the Suns are far inferior to this "everyone is a soldier" Pistons in terms of available personnel rotation.
In addition, as Wang Shuo said to Barkley during the game, the Suns were the first to make the move in this G3 game. Therefore, in Wang Shuo's eyes, the Suns still need to be cautious about the next game.
According to the schedule, the fourth game of the finals between the two sides will start on the evening of the 11th.
Since there was only one day of rest, Wang Shuo did not arrange team training on the 10th.
Just on the evening of the 10th, I called the players together and explained to them what the team had not done well enough in the previous three games.
…
On the evening of the 11th, America West Arena.
The fourth game of the finals between the two sides officially kicked off.
Tonight, the Pistons, who could make adjustments to the previous game, took the starting position.
Before the start of the finals, due to the overall strength of the team, Ben was forced to wave towels to his teammates on the sidelines. He never expected...
He has enough physical strength to compete in the finals. His task in this year's finals is still to wave towels to his teammates on the sidelines.
Carlisle and Stotts are not Larry Brown.
No matter how good Ben's defensive ability is or how high his pick-and-roll quality is.
Since the Pistons now need to rely more on offense to open up the situation, taking the big money is a helpless choice that the Pistons have to make.
In addition to winning the big book...
The Pistons also showed a desperate attitude when they came up this night.
During the game, in addition to the tactics they had previously used in games involving players at positions 1, 2, and 5, the Pistons also made extensive use of Double-Drag and the pitching tactics designed by Carlisle for the "2 position." Attack the Suns' defense from the outside.
In this game, in the first quarter alone, the Pistons took 11 three-pointers from the outside.
Although this Pistons doesn't have many attackers.
But as they frequently hit three-pointers from the outside, the Suns' defense is bound to have a vacuum in the core area.
Prince adjusted his thinking this time and no longer forced Iverson in isolation. Instead, he used his air cuts to go to the basket many times and steadily scored points for the Pistons.
That night, on the Suns bench, Wang Shuo had deeply felt the changes he had brought to the world.
Due to his emergence, the theory that offense can win championships has gained absolute upper hand in public opinion in recent years.
Therefore, after the NBA officially canceled the "HC" rule this year, the number of three-point shots taken by each NBA team and the emphasis on three-pointers are completely different from Wang Shuo's memory.
"The Pistons, are they hoping to use a more efficient offense to make up for their lack of hard-hit ability?" Spoelstra asked on the Suns bench.
Wang Shuo nodded and said: "Essentially, that's the case, because as long as your three-pointers are accurate enough, the opponent's interior defense level will inevitably drop accordingly."
"Is there anything we can do about it?" Brown asked.
Wang Shuo said: "This Pistons has very strong tactical execution. Even we can't prevent them from initiating a single tactic in the game.
So our only response is to go out there and hit the shots we need to make. "
Barkley said: "That's what Rick Carlisle and Terry Stotts are for, right?
Since they can't beat us tactically, just put all your chips on the players. The Pistons players who go to the casino can defeat us with a more efficient offense. "
Wang Shuo smiled bitterly and said: "If you want to defeat the strong with the weak, this is indeed the best way, but it is obvious that we are the weaker side in this series!"
Looking at Wang Shuo from the side, Buckley and the other two people always felt that Wang Shuo was in trouble at this moment.
Brother, do you really not know how strong you are?
Obviously, the reason why Carlisle and Stotts made such adjustments in the G4 game was precisely because Wang Shuo had forced them into a desperate situation.
From being dominant before the start of the game to being passive now, because the two of them couldn't find a way to defeat Wang Shuo after exhausting their lifelong learning,...
In the eyes of Carlisle and Stotts, the Pistons can only gamble, bet that the Pistons can take advantage of their range, bet that the Pistons, a group of players who can shoot three-pointers, use the most efficient offensive method on the basketball court to defeat This sun!
"Why do I feel like you're not anxious at all?" On the Suns bench, as the Suns were always lagging behind in the G4 game, Barkley looked at Wang Shuo curiously and asked.
Wang Shuo shook his head and said: "Unless our luck is really bad. Otherwise, we will definitely have the last laugh in this series."
In Wang Shuo's view, the Pistons are certainly brave tonight...
But here comes the problem...
It is impossible for the future pair of "splash brothers" to be accurate in every game.
Is it possible for this Piston to do it?
Perhaps, the Pistons can win one or two wins in this series in this way.
But at this moment, with the Suns leading the Pistons by a big score of 2-1, Wang Shuo didn't think they could win three games in a row in this way.
In the end, in this G4 game, the Pistons narrowly defeated the Suns 118-114.
In the second half of the game, as the touch declined, the Suns, led by Iverson, even took the lead.
But at the critical moment, Ray Allen, who Wang Shuo least wanted to see in this series, appeared frequently in front of him.
Perhaps, the gentleman's sword at this moment is not sharp enough.
But this night, he, who also has a big heart, hit 8 three-pointers, setting a new NBA Finals single-game three-point record.
But after this game...
Carlisle and Stotts were not happy at all.
Because they know very well that when Ray Allen exploded, the Pistons only beat the Suns by 4 points...
What if Ray Allen doesn't explode?
Two days later, on the evening of the 14th, at the American West Arena, Wang Shuo, who switched to the Suns this time, once again changed the alignment of the players on the court.
At the expense of the team's forward defensive capabilities, Wang Shuo specifically sent Marion, the most physically powerful Suns player with top athletic ability, to guard Ray Allen in this game.
With Marion's relentless defense of Ray Allen on the court, the Suns have greatly reduced the number of times Ray Allen appears in game footage.
On the other side, Hardaway also successfully restricted Billups' great sniper.
Compared with 17 of 38 three-pointers in the previous game, the Pistons, who shot 19 three-pointers in the first half of this game, only hit 5 of them.
The Pistons failed to use their advantage in shooting range to open up enough space, and naturally they were unable to maintain their offensive level at the same level as the Suns.
On the court, Stoudemire and Iverson took turns attacking each other, which made the roaring Tianzun miserable without the support of his defense.
On the basketball court, when the opponent has a top breakthrough player, the one who suffers the most is never his own defender, but his own inside line.
Due to the large amount of physical energy and energy consumed on the defensive end, the accuracy of Roaring Tianzun's straight-arm pull-up in this game also dropped a lot.
At America West Arena, on this night, when the score gap between the two sides was the largest, the Suns once led the Pistons by 25 points.
But Carlisle and Stotts still didn't give up.
Because the Pistons can only force the Suns to use their main force to fight them, so that Carlisle and Stotts can preserve the possibility of a comeback after returning to Detroit.
In the end, the finishing score of this game was 98 to 117.
In the whole game, Stoudemire and Iverson scored 67 points together.
However, after the game, when naming names for praise, Wang Shuo believed that the heroes of the team's victory tonight were Marion and Hardaway.
Moreover, Iverson and Stoudemire, the top two contributors to the Suns' win in the eyes of the world, also thought so.
On the basketball court, top tool players like Marion are destined to be unable to gain the same exposure as Iverson and Stoudemire.
After the Tianwangshan battle, the same was true for Hardaway, whose shooting percentage in the finals did not exceed 30%.
Fortunately, as the leader of this team, Iverson will not tell people afterwards that he has never been in a super team.
Because in Iverson's eyes, the Suns, coached by Wang Shuolai and with Stoudemire, Marion and others, are an out-and-out super team!
"I know a lot of people are saying how good I did in this finals.
But I hope you can give more praise to my teammates!
This Suns is not my team alone. If you insist on telling me who the leader of this Suns is...
Then I will definitely tell you that Wang Shuo is the worthy leader of this Sun! "After the G5 game, Iverson, who has established a brotherhood with Stoudemire and Marion this year, said in an interview.
Iverson knows that the reason why he can score unscrupulously on the court is because whenever he is broken through on the court, Marion is there to help defend him.
Iverson also knows that the reason why he can see who can beat whom this year is because whenever his opponent wants to flank him, Stoudemire will always rush to the scene as soon as possible and punish the opponent with a dunk.
In addition, in terms of personality, Stoudemire and Marion also match up well with Iverson.
These three people all belong to the kind of green forest heroes who are very close to each other.
On the field, the three of them fought side by side.
Off the court, the three also hope to maintain this brotherhood, instead of referring to each other as "just colleagues" after retirement.
People may not believe it if you say it.
Iverson, who knows that as long as he wins the championship this year, he will definitely get the biggest piece of cake. Not only does he not want to take all the credit now, he even hopes that his two little brothers can get an extra piece from him.
This year, the judges responsible for selecting the best defensive player were miserable.
Because Iverson wanted to let Marion eat an extra piece of cake, they have become the targets of the most criticism from fans during the finals.
Because now, people are crazy about why they didn't award the best defensive player to Marion, but awarded it to the big guy who did nothing in the Finals.
After the G5 game, the Suns, who had already taken the lead in getting the match point with a 3-2 score in this round of finals, will go to Detroit on the evening of the 16th according to the schedule to start their sixth game with the Pistons. .
Although the next two games will be played at the Palace of Auburn Hills according to the 232 format.
But in Wang Shuo's view, the sun has good news.
That is, since there is only one day between G5 and G6, judging from Wang Shuo's on-the-spot adaptability against Carlisle and Stotts in the first five games of the finals, it will be difficult for the Pistons to defeat the team in just one day. The tactics and personnel rotation have made too many changes.
In other words, as long as the Suns can, like Wang Shuo said, score the goals they should score on the field.
Then they can successfully win the NBA championship this year!
Compared with the previous two times when he led the Wizards to win the championship, Wang Shuo felt that this year was not only extra taxing, but also the year he was most enthusiastic about participating in the finals.
Because compared to the pleasure brought by crushing the lineup during the Wizards period, this year, in addition to player training, Wang Shuo witnessed Stoudemire's growth all the way, he also perfectly demonstrated his ability in tactics and personnel adjustments. Coaching talent.
Of course Wang Shuo doesn't dislike the two championships during the Wizards' era.
However, if he can lead the Suns to win the championship this year, he believes that he will truly prove his coaching ability!
On the 15th, after the battle between the Suns and the Pistons, NBA officials followed usual practice and transported the O'Brien Cup, which symbolizes the highest honor of the NBA team, to Detroit.
In addition, King of the Ring Bill Russell will also attend the next G6 game of the finals in Detroit, as well as the possible G7 game.
And Suns fans who have never tasted a championship...
On the night of the 16th, they will gather inside and outside the American West Arena to cheer for the Suns through the on-site and off-site big screens.
Throughout Phoenix, even if the temperature is 40℃, it is difficult to stop the enthusiasm of Phoenix fans!
Compared with the Suns, who have already got the match point, Pistons fans hope that someone in the Pistons can step forward and drag this series into a tiebreaker!
So far, there have only been three tiebreakers in the NBA Finals.
They were the 1984 Lakers-Kevin battle, the 1988 Finals between the Lakers and the Pistons, and the 1994 "Big Dream" matchup with Ewing.
What's interesting is that in these three tie-breaks, the side with the home field advantage had the last laugh.
Therefore, in the eyes of Pistons fans, as long as the Pistons can drag this series into a tiebreaker, they can turn defeat into victory in this round of finals.
On the 15th, after leading the team to the Motor City, all members of the Suns quickly felt the "enthusiasm" given to them by Detroit fans.
When arriving at the hotel, first some Pistons fans pretending to be Suns fans tried to attack the Suns players. Then, after checking in at the hotel, everyone discovered that all the toilets in this star-rated hotel were broken.
This is the home field advantage in the finals.
But Wang Shuo and the Suns coaching staff, who had already been prepared for this, were not panicked at all.
Because in fact, as early as G1 and G2, Suns players had already experienced the "enthusiasm" of Detroit fans.
It's just that now that the team is in a life-and-death situation, Pistons fans have increased their intensity.
Like the previous G1 and G2, on the 15th, after arriving in Detroit, Wang Shuo not only prohibited the players from ordering takeout, but also prohibited them from consuming any food and sports drinks provided by Detroit.
In addition, little Colangelo, who knew that he had to support Wang Shuo at this time, immediately brought Wang Shuo and the players fresh ingredients flown from Phoenix.
When night fell, the Detroit police were "powerless to stop" Pistons fans from holding concerts outside the hotel. The Suns players took out sound-isolating headphones and earplugs prepared by team staff in advance.
Although not everyone likes to wear sound-isolating headphones or earplugs when sleeping, compared to being so noisy that they can't sleep all night, this is the best result that Wang Shuo and others can achieve.
"Speaking of which, your first two championships were in away games, right?" Barkley said that night as he and Wang Shuo watched the Pistons fans dancing wildly outside the hotel.
"Actually, if possible, I would rather win the championship at home. Otherwise, no one will cheer for you when you win. How boring would it be?" Wang Shuo turned to Barkley and said.
"Are you nervous now?" Barkley, whose hands have been shaking since arriving in Detroit today, asked.
"I'm very nervous." Wang Shuo said with a straight face.
"But I can't tell you're nervous at all," Buckley said.
Wang Shuo smiled and said, "Everyone is nervous in different ways."
After letting out a long sigh and looking at the Pistons fans outside the window, Barkley suddenly sighed: "The NBA is really cruel and ruthless."
Wang Shuo nodded and said, "If someone wins, it means that someone loses.
This is the NBA. There is only one team every year, and a city can laugh to the end. "
Barkley clenched his fist and said, "If you can, tomorrow night, I think I will ignite the cigar for you."
Wang Shuo groaned for a few seconds, and said, "That will be my honor, Charles."
On the eve of the decisive battle, this night, it is destined to be an unusual night.
But with the early morning.
On the sky of Detroit, with the rise of the sun, the official start of the G6 battle also entered the final countdown stage.
Is it the sun, winning the priced?
Still the Pistons, can we drag this round of series into the seven?
On the evening of the 16th, the Palace of Obon.
Answer, it is about to be announced!
