Chapter 681 [Cow Fear, Good Luck]

When he first entered the league, Wang Jun was the victim of the Pistons. His playing style was similar to Hamilton and he could bully Hamilton with his strength. After Wang Jun joined the Bulls, he eliminated the Pistons in the playoffs for two consecutive years.

Before the game started, the Pistons management led by Choudhumas felt pressure first. As long as the Bulls were eliminated for the third time in a row, the team would have to disintegrate in the summer. If this continues, there will be no good ending.

The Bulls have an absolute psychological advantage. Before Chandler and Barnes made a comeback, the Bulls easily defeated the Pistons 100-85 in their first match.

After the game, Chinese media joked that the Pistons suffered from "cow phobia" and that their substitutes were not scored except for McDace. Veteran Ratree joined the mid-term without making the Pistons' inside stronger, and they were still a group of blue-collar workers.

On the other hand, the Celtics played extremely ugly with the Cavaliers, and the Celtics won 76-72 at home.

Only Garnett performed normally in the Big Three, scoring 28 points and 8 rebounds. Pierce made only 2 of 14 shots and missed free throws, scoring 4 points. Ray Allen was even worse and he didn't score a single point.

If veteran Kassel had not scored 13 points and performed well, the Celtics would have kneeled at home.

James was in trouble under strict prevention. He made only 2 of 18 shots in the game, scoring 12 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists. His mistake reached 10 times and almost scored a four-double.

There was no suspense in the second game between the Bulls and the Pistons, and the role player stood up.

Lewis scored 20 points and 6 rebounds, made three three-pointers, and removed the inside very well. Calderon made 5 of 8 three-pointers, scoring 22 points and 8 assists in the whole game. Just looking at the data, he is not inferior to Billups.

Wang Jun scored 31 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists. There is always a way to attract double-teams. The Bulls defeated the Pistons 108-90.

The Pistons still cannot break through the Bulls' joint defense with a four-man attack. Every year, the Bulls use the same tactics to deal with the Pistons. 122 compression defense and defend the basket. Strictly prevent Billups, Rashid shot three-pointers and let others take action.

As long as you don't shoot, Wang Jun will be an opportunity to counterattack, and the Pistons' joint defense cannot be placed. The Bulls failed to make an offensive attack and did not grab the frontcourt rebounds at all. They will defend quickly to ensure that the joint defense is placed.

The Celtics beat the Cavaliers 93-78 at home and also led 2-0. The third game between the two teams will be played in Cleveland on the 11th.

This time, the Big Three performed normally and scored in double digits. The Cavaliers hit only 35.6% on the opponent's iron wall defense. James made only 6 of 24 shots in the game. He scored 21 points and 6 assists, and made 7 turnovers.

James is going to become the man who "turned-off king" in this series.

The media couldn't praise James, and his performance was too bad. Pierce, Tony Allen and Garnett were very successful in his defense.

The third battle between the Bulls and Pistons was held in Detroit.

The Pistons have a strong morale at home and have lost many years, and the fans have not abandoned them.

The Pistons changed their previous style of play at the beginning and opened up space to let Mark Hill cut into the basket.

Mark Hill is 201m tall, and he can be selected in the first round because of his super physical fitness. He has great strength, jumping power and speed.

As soon as he rushed up, Hill and Lewis couldn't stop him, and made two shots at the beginning, giving David Lee a big hat.

Billups also showed his strength when he beat Calderon. He looked for opportunities on the outside and made a quick stop and jump shot. Calderon always had problems with his single defense, and his defense breakthrough was very bad.

The two teams tied 27 in the first quarter. The Bulls' shooting rate dropped sharply in the second quarter. Hill heavy on the lineup, allowing Watson and David Lee to take the substitute. The performance was average.

Nowak entered the playoffs like a change of individuals, defensive colander. He was on the offensive stand, averaged only 10 minutes per game, scored 2.7 points and 0.8 rebounds, and averaged 1.5 shots per game. At first glance, 57.1% of three-pointers were invincible, but he actually scored three-pointers once in a game.

Many players are regular season players and cannot play tough battles. Nowak is one, and Watson is the same, and he can't even play 70% of his level during training.

After Du Hong's comeback, Watson could only be the third substitute, playing for about 8 minutes, scored 3.2 points and 1 assist, with a shooting percentage of 34%, but it was better than veteran defender Blevinette who was not on the roster.

The two teams played very slowly on the offensive pace. The Bulls collectively silenced the outside, and only made 1 of 8 three-pointers. How could the Pistons miss such a good opportunity and quickly opened the score.

With 2 minutes and 25 seconds left in this quarter, Stucky made both free throws, and he assisted Prince to score a dunk, and Rashid also made a three-pointer. After the Pistons scored 7 points in a row, they led by 14 points.

Wang Jun increased his breakthrough, and he successfully scored a layup with a one-on-one match against Prince, assisting David Lee to score in mid-range shots, narrowing the gap slightly and trailing 40-50 in the first half.

The Bulls began to show their power in the second half. Wang Jun attracted double-team breakthroughs and passed the ball continuously, assisting Lewis to make three-pointers in a row. Calderon also made two three-pointers in the second half. In addition to Wang Jun's three-pointer when he counterattacked, the Bulls made 7 of 8 three-pointers in this quarter, reversing the disadvantage in one fell swoop.

Prince is a recognized wing defense expert, interfering with shooting and chasing with big hats is obvious to all. He is not without shortcomings, his body is weak and his ability to fight against others. The most common players in the regular season are James, Pierce, Wang Jun, Anthony, Wade and other players.

Wang Jun relied on his own technology to combine crab steps and fought Prince alone to gain the upper hand.

Unfortunately, a person's strength is limited after all, while the Bulls' current lineup is only average.

Even if Wang Jun is fine now, he is trembling like an epilepsy, and his body is shaking again and again, no star will be involuntarily impressed by his personality charm. He can't help but want to accept it and join the Bulls as his younger brother to assist him.

The NBA trading rules determine that this group of people is around him in the playoffs, and he is the only one who is good at holding the ball.

In the final quarter, Wang Jun continued to be double-teamed, and his teammates began to miss the iron. Billups and Hamilton scored consecutively and overtook the score again. The Bulls lost the magic of the third quarter, missed all the first 5 three-pointers in this quarter, and the Pistons also made a 7-0 wave.

Not only is he "teammate ba", Wang Jun also fell into a scoring dilemma under the Pistons' iron wall defense. He was double-teamed as soon as he broke through, and even double-teamed by three people after breaking through the penalty area. He couldn't help but dodge several hands with a pull-up layup.

From 7 minutes and 14 seconds left in this quarter, Wang Jun failed to make a goal in more than 5 minutes. He didn't make another three-pointer until the end of the game. The Bulls were still behind 91-98.

The Pistons made 2 of 4 free throws at the critical moment, giving the Bulls a chance, but unfortunately Wang Jun missed the three-pointer. With 18.6 seconds left, the Bulls began to use foul tactics. After Billups made both free throws, the Pistons led by 7 points. Lewis still missed the three-pointer, and the Bulls lost.

This game greatly aroused the morale of the Pistons and gave them hope. As a result, they were happy for only one night, the Pistons official revealed that Billups was absent from the fourth game due to injury.

Billups had to take a rest for at least a week after he strained his right leg hamstring during the game.

Luck is also part of strength. Although Pistons rookie Rodnistaki, who replaced Billups, has performed well recently, his tactical role is much worse.

After all, Billups is a veteran who has played hundreds of playoff games, while Stucky is just a rookie who has made it to the playoffs for the first time. He is not good at shooting three-pointers, and the Bulls' 122-team defense is even more difficult to break.

The Bulls won 104 to 89 without any hesitation, and won the match point away, leading 3 to 1.
