Chapter 570 Don't Know if I'm Sensitive to Eggs Today?
"Ben, where's your rebound?" Larry Brown growled from the sidelines.
Rebounds, for the defensive team, this is life, but all 6 rebounds, the Pistons only grabbed 1, which made him want to kill Da Ben.
"The Hammer's defense is really strong, with 8 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. Both blocks got the ball. In less than half a quarter, they grabbed 8 balls. The solar leads so much, all thanks to His defense." Yu Jia praised.
"Today, the Hammer's offensive rebounds were good. 4 offensive rebounds out of 5 rebounds. The second offense scored 3 times, and 1 earned an assist. The efficiency is not to mention, super high!" Zhang Lili praised.
Speaking of this, he said again: "But I feel that the rest of the Suns have not fully adapted to the rhythm of the finals and have not completely let go. At this time, I think it is better to let Payton go up and play first to control the rhythm of the team. The best. Don't look at the lead now, but this is the performance of the Hammers. Once his efficiency drops, the Pistons can catch up immediately."
On the TNT live broadcast, Barkley said: "I think Hammer's rebounding skills can be compared with Rodman's. His prediction of the rebound point has allowed him to average 20 rebounds per game this season. And in the last season, it reached 23. From the anger of coach Labrilant, we can know how serious the damage of the Hammer's rebounds to the Pistons is."
"No, judging from the prediction, he is not as good as Rodman." Kenny Smith disagreed.
"Oh, Rodman averaged 13.1 rebounds per game in the regular season of his career, and his highest season was 18.7 rebounds, while his average in the playoffs was only 9.9 rebounds per game, and his highest season was 16 rebounds per game, but in that playoffs He only played 3 games, the Hammer has surpassed him in these statistics?" Barkley said.
"Iron Hammer's rebounds are doing a good job of predicting now, but you have to notice that the number of times he gets stuck in advance is not as many as Rodman. Sometimes, he still relies on faster speed, and he does not The talent to watch the ball, come and grab the rebound."
Smith explained.
"But what you said surprised me even more. Does it mean that he will still improve? Once his ability to predict goes further, will he grab an average of 30 rebounds per game?"
Barkley said in surprise.
Kenny Smith shrugged and said helplessly, "I don't really want to believe it, but it is indeed possible."
"That's terrifying. With an average of 20 rebounds per game, the Suns have already achieved the No. 1 record in the league. With an average of 30 rebounds per game, how much will he do?"
Barkley also smiled helplessly.
"I even think that once he averages 30 rebounds per game, he'll dominate the league."
Kenny Smith also smiled wryly.
At this time, a few more rounds were played on the court, and the time reached the 9th minute of the first quarter.
The defensive strength of the two sides is very high, and the shooting percentage of outside shots is not very high. The Pistons are at 35%, and the Suns have tighter hands, only 32%.
But Li Ba still controlled the rebounds and grabbed 4 rebounds again. With his rebounds, the Suns had an advantage in shots and kept the point difference from closing.
At 12:21, the Suns led by 9 points.
Larry Brown called a timeout again.
Rebounds are still a problem he needs to solve. A total of 20 rebounds, the Suns took 13, and the Pistons only had 7.
But the situation improved slightly in the next few minutes. Big Ben and Rashid jointly grabbed 3 backcourt rebounds, which only allowed the Suns to play a second offense, which was not bad.
However, the overall situation still made him very dissatisfied. It didn't matter if he scored less, but he actually allowed the Suns to score 21 points in 9 minutes, which was a straight 30 in a single quarter.
In fact, he also knows well that the Pistons this season are no longer comparable to the Pistons that won the championship last year.
In the regular season, the points conceded this season was 89.5 points, compared to 84.3 last season, which is a full 5.2 points more.
In the playoffs, this season is currently 85.6, and last season was 80.7, which is also nearly 5 points more.
This means that the Pistons' defense is not as good as last season.
Among them is a statistic, the opponent's shooting percentage, this season is 43.2%, and last season, it was 39.2%.
He also knows some reasons why the team is declining, because some people are slacking off.
And he himself is one of them, because his contract ends this year, and he wants to leave the Pistons.
He has already won the championship with the Pistons. He thinks this is the pinnacle of this civilian lineup. He has no expectations in the Pistons. Since he wants to leave, the management requirements for the team will naturally be lowered.
Of course, he will definitely not admit this.
"Another problem, the defense against Battier and Posey, especially Marion, it's not in place, you don't isolate them, they can still pass the ball, they can still shoot. Now they don't shoot high , once improved, what will happen?"
Larry Brown gave a serious warning to this issue, and asked Rasheed Wallace and Hamilton and Prince to strengthen their defense and strip Marion and the other three from the game.
Li Ba stood in front of the bench with his hips crossed, looked at his teammates, and asked directly, "Are you still nervous?"
He didn't wait for other people's answers, and said directly: "We are ahead, why are you nervous about PI? The Pistons don't dare to go inside, they all shoot outside. I'm bored inside, there's nothing to be nervous about. They also As far as that strength is concerned, if we fight defense, whether it is single defense or assist defense, are we afraid of them? Fight offense, we have two All-Stars Marbury and Marion, are they qualified to fight us?"
The timeout ended, Payton and Joe Johnson came on, and Marbury and Posey went off to rest.
"Sean, look over to Joe and help defend in time." Frank told Battier before going on the field.
Joe Johnson's defense still can't satisfy him, but his offensive ability is something the team can't give up. Since entering the bench, Joe Johnson has taken the most shots from the bench and has become the team's sixth man. The scoring is also averaging around 18 points per game. His scoring is very important, and the defense can only let others make up for it.
There were no substitutions for the Pistons. Larry Brown was the most cautious in his life. He cherished his reputation. He would not use substitutes easily, and he did not trust rookies, especially in the finals.
The timeout ends and the Pistons attack.
In the middle, Billups advanced with a special ball in the backcourt, and Payton defended in front.
"Come on, Caijier, let me teach you how to defend."
"I heard you like sex? This hobby is not very good."
Payton's non-stop trash talking gave Billups a headache.
If you say that he is also a master of trash talk, his standard for trash talk is ugly, only when it is ugly can it cause lethality to the opponent.
But, Shet, why do you keep mentioning eggs? I'm so sensitive to this word today, don't you know?
