Wang Jun only scored 2 points and grabbed 6 rebounds.In the second quarter, both sides came off the bench and continued to fight defensively.Kittels had a mediocre hand and missed two shots.Jefferson scored 4 points in the first quarter, couldn't find a feeling with the bench, couldn't find a scoring opportunity under the Pistons' Tianluo Nets defense, and ate a big hat from the backup center Campbell, which was very faceless.Elden Campbell is 213 tall, weighs 127 kilograms, is 36 years old this year, and has begun to make fortune, and can only be a meat shield on the inside.He relied on experience to defend, and if Jefferson relied on cover to get rid of the perimeter shooting or break through, he would definitely not be able to keep up, and Jefferson wanted to rush into the interior to dunk and create five good shots, which was self-inflicted.It took more than two minutes for the Nets to score for the first time, but fortunately, the Pistons bench was also weak offensively and played iron.After switching to the starters, the situation didn't change, and all the players became blacksmiths, with Martin and Aaron scoring a total of eight points on the inside, and the other four points coming from Kidd's mid-range shot.With three and a half minutes to go before the game, the Nets fell into a scoring drought and didn't score a point by the end.Wang Jun kept running, the opponent followed very closely, Kidd didn't pass the ball, he didn't have a chance to attack if he wanted to, and he had nowhere to use his strength.If the ball is not in your own hands, you can only do it in a hurry, which is the biggest difference between a role player and a core, and it is a kind of torture for players who are strong in scoring.Wang Jun scored more points in his first season than Jefferson and Kittels, and there is a tendency to become a three-in-command, but he will not be satisfied with this, his possession rate is too low.At halftime, the Nets trailed 28-37.Wang Jun didn't score, grabbed two more rebounds, and had 2 points and 8 rebounds in the half.Trailing by nine points may not seem like much, but 28 points at halftime is too ugly for the two-time Eastern Conference champion Nets.Last season, the Pistons were still the team they swept over.The two teams scored just 65 points in the first half, setting a record for the lowest first-half scoring in NBA playoff history.The previous record was 66 points in Game 3 of the Spurs vs.
Nets finals last season.In the second half of the NBA playoffs, the minimum score for both teams was 60 points.It's the Nets again, and it's really frustrating to break this record for two seasons in a row.Barkley also talked about it.It was the Nets' two consecutive seasons of winning games on defense that stimulated the Pistons to hire Larry Brown as a professional coach and trade Rashid in the middle of the game to defend it tightly.More and more teams in the league are prioritizing defense.The game became more ugly than when Dumb met Agua. ”Smith laughed: "The Nets have Jefferson and Martin.Baccles was stunned for a moment and changed his words: "I apologize to the Nets, they just defend well, and they still have beautiful goals, but the really ugly ones are the Pistons and Spurs, it's too ugly."
Thankfully, Spurs have been eliminated. ”Spurs fans if they watch live TV.will definitely be disgusted by Barkley's "big mouth", and there is nothing to be done about him.At halftime, Lawrence emphasized more cooperation and continued to fight defensively.At the beginning of the second half, the Nets scored six straight points.First, Martin blocked and then made a shot from Billups, then Collins hit a free throw, and Wang Jun got rid of it by covering and hit a three-point shot.The Nets tied the score at 34-37.Unfortunately, this is just a return to the Nets.The Pistons stepped up their defense on the perimeter.Kidd, Jefferson, and Martin broke through the offense after blocking and dismantling, hitting consecutive irons and not scoring a point in 5 minutes.The Pistons also went on a 12-0 run to stretch the margin to 15 points.Lawrence made a mistake in the substitution, so he chose to rest Wang Jun and replace the sluggish Kittels, trying to use the veteran's playoff experience to open up the situation.Kittels is used to attracting defenders on the perimeter and playing role players.He has been a substitute for most of this season, and he has no heart and will only add to the icing on the cake, unable to turn the tide.There were no good shots, and Kittels split the ball again and again, and the situation did not change in the slightest.After three quarters, the Nets only chased the score to 43-57.Entering the final quarter, Wang Jun was followed very closely and did not receive a few passes.In the past, he could rely on his physical strength to drag down his opponents, but today this trick didn't work.Relying on the "cut-to-book tactic", the Nets narrowed the gap to a maximum of 9 points, and Pistons backup guard Lynch Hunter's three-point shots and layups opened the gap again.The Nets shot poorly, and Lawrence didn't know how to adjust.At the last moment, watching his teammates hit the iron continuously, Wang Jun really wanted to shout "pass" at Kidd.He felt that he was single-handedly against Hamilton, and that his shooting percentage might not be as low as the team is now when he jumps when there is interference.To the frontcourt, Wang Jun leaned on Hamilton and directly reached out to ask for the ball, but Kidd did not pass and played cooperatively.Wang Jun wanted to speak several times, but finally held back.If Kidd thinks the offense is reasonable, the probability of scoring by passing to Wang Jun is higher, and he will pass it without calling.Kidd, on the other hand, will only be unhappy and think that basketball ideas are not in harmony.The rookie shouted at the boss to pass the ball, and the media would think it was a performance of grabbing the boss, and Kobe Bryant endured it for three seasons before he started shouting in the Lakers.Wang Jun had to run harder to find opportunities until the end of the game.64-78, the Nets lost their home-court advantage and were swept away in front of the audience.Wang Jun made a three-pointer in the fourth quarter, made a foul in an air cut, and hit both free throws.He shot 3-of-9 from the field, 2-of-6 from three-point range and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line to finish with 10 points, 13 rebounds and one assist.Hamilton had 15 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists, and his performance was not bad.Kidd finished with nine points, seven rebounds and seven assists on 4-of-13 shooting, 1-of-5 three-pointers and no free throws.Martin had 14 points and five rebounds and Kittels had 11 points.The Nets scored a total of three double-doubles, none of whom were 15, so it would be strange to win.The Nets have one day to reflect on their defeat, and the second game between the two sides will be played at the Nets' home court on the 22nd.At the press conference, Pistons coach Larry Brown was calm and did not underestimate the Nets because of the first win."
I think everybody on the team should know how serious this series is," Brown said.Home advantage is very important and winning this game is a good start, it doesn't mean you can relax.We have to hold on to the advantage. ”In the first round of the playoffs, the Pistons lost to the Bucks on their second home court, and relying on their good performance on the road, the Pistons still won 4-1.The Nets are a stronger opponent, and the Pistons don't want to give their opponents any chance to fight back.The pressure is even more on the Nets, and if they lose their second home court, the situation will be very bad.Lawrence calmly said: "We had some problems attacking today, the shooting percentage was low, and I think the players will adjust it.This is just the first game, and I'm confident that the Nets will advance to the finals. ”The reporter asked: "How do you evaluate the opponent's defense" "It's tough, we're not bad, don't forget, the Pistons only scored 78 points." ”Xu Xuejiao interviewed Wang Jun and asked: "Are you satisfied with today's performance?"
If the team wins, it doesn't matter if I have a stat, and if I lose, the stats are meaningless. ”Xu Xuejiao asked: "How do you think you should adjust in the next game?"
"I don't know, how to adjust, the coaching staff will tell me when the time comes."
Whatever I am asked to do, I will try to get it done, as long as I can win. ”:
