After playing the Nets, the Bulls flew to Detroit that night to challenge the Pistons back-to-back.It was a tough back-to-back that didn't allow the Bulls to give up because they've lost three games to the Pistons and would be swept in the regular season if they lose again.As a strong team, with the second record in the East, it is a shame to be swept by the opponent.The Pistons don't want to lose either, and their current record is 49-11, which is not safe for four more wins than the Bulls.22 games have the potential to be overtaken.The advantage of the Pistons is that they have three days of rest, and they are full of energy, but they are not in very good shape.In their last game, they lost to the Lakers in Los Angeles.Bryant had 40 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, and Odom also had 24 points and 10 rebounds.The Lakers' way to win is not new, that is, to let Ben Wallace go and include Hamilton and Billups.Except for the two guards, no one else is good at attacking with the ball, defending the perimeter, and it is difficult for the Pistons to attack without opening.After the Lakers won, Barkley, who broadcast the game live, made a classic assessment."
I think that Wang Jun and Kobe Bryant are not the tightest in the league, and the most tightly packed in each game is Ben Wallace's teammates."
In order to win the Pistons, Bulls coach Skels did not arrange a double block for Wang Jun, or even let David Lee play, but played the forward combination of Lore Deng and Nocioni, with Chandler at the center position and Wang Jun and Hinrich on the periphery.The Bulls' formation "suddenly changed in style", and the main defense shot from mid-to-long distance wanted to force the Pistons players to go inside to attack.In the first quarter, the Pistons were hot from the outside, and Billups made two three-pointers to give the Pistons a five-point lead.In the second quarter, Wang Jun uncharacteristically did not rest, and played with Du Hong, Joan Barry, David Lee, and Hayes, and hit the Pistons by surprise.The two guards can pull apart, Wang Jun and David Li block and dismantle, and the bag is easy to be empty.Hayes is just as crucial.Under his defense, veteran McDyce shot 1 of 4.The Pistons had only Evans hit a three-pointer in three minutes, and the Bulls went on an 11-3 run to overtake the score.The Pistons immediately reduced the offensive tempo when they came back from the start, and compared patience with the Bulls, and after the players missed the shot, the four returned to the defense to form a joint defense.Ben Wallace was the only one fighting for the rebound.I learned it from the Nets.They don't sacrifice their overall defense for the sake of rebounding in the frontcourt.Big Ben's rebounding ability is indeed very strong, and Skeyles knows this, and this time he asked the players to give up the fast break, protect the rebounding ball, and also rely on positional battles and opponents to grind.The Bulls have a number of rebounding masters, Chandler and David Lee are both leaders in rebounding ability, and Wang Jun and Luoer Deng are also good at grabbing rebounds.Two or three people shrank into the restricted area.Big Ben couldn't squeeze in at all.At halftime, the Bulls led 47-41.In the third quarter, the two teams played more intensely, fighting for every ball.Wang Jun struggled to shoot under the focused care of Prince and Rashid, and his teammates didn't feel good enough, and the Bulls only scored 17 points in the quarter, trailing 64-65.Heading into the final quarter, Skels replaced Chandler for Hayes.The front line is Lore Deng and David Lee, and the "killer feature" is here again.Skyles can bring the Bulls back to the playoffs without Jordan, Pippen, Kukoc, Rodman, and Hubble.It's impossible without two brushes.When arranging the formation, he will not only arrange the players to cooperate, but also deliberately expose some flaws, lead the opponent to attack, and play psychological warfare, so as to achieve the goal of winning.Now the Bulls are trying to lure Rashid to attack the interior with the ball.Big Ben goes out to block and dismantle, and he can wrap up the two guards on the outside to better prevent shooting.Rashid can't just let go of the pick-and-roll, at least creating a misplaced one-on-one opportunity, and his range is beyond the three-point line.Even if Rashid is not fooled and continues to cover on the perimeter, Hayes is short and the effect of switching guards is better than Chandler.As for Big Ben's strong attack on the basket to play Hayes, Skeys didn't consider this possibility at all, and Big Ben's offense with the ball was not as good as McDyes.Next, no matter which side the Pistons attack to block and dismantle, there will be interior players who quickly change defenses, and David Lee's defensive ability has improved a lot in the competitive atmosphere of the Bulls compared to when he was in college.The coach repeatedly told him that he could not prevent it, but he had to concentrate on it.The defender couldn't get past David Lee in the first step, and he was immediately trapped, and Ben Wallace was let go on the perimeter.If you hit the other side, the bull doesn't wrap the clamp and the man marks the man.Hayes defended much better.The Pistons studied the Bulls' situation before the game and knew that Hayes was a weakened version of Big Ben, who was good defensively, and didn't let Rashid go to the basket for offense, and Ben Wallace stood inside waiting for an opportunity, and David Lee topped the bull.The Pistons played a few blocks and dismantled without a chance, Wang Jun switched to defend Rashid, close interference, making it difficult for him to turn around, and Hayes worked very hard with the guard.After a few shots, the advantage went to the Bulls' side.Big Ben worked hard to grab the rebounds in the front court, David Lee is also a rebounding master, the card position prediction is good, and the bounce is better than Big Ben, which is not so easy to get.Finally grabbed it once, but before Big Ben could pass the ball out, David Lee fouled him and sent him a free throw.Funny things happened, Big Ben asked the referee to theorize, wanting to explain that this was a pass, not a shot, and that he should have taken a throw-in instead of a free throw.The referee felt ashamed of him when he heard it, is free throw such a terrible thing For many junior high school players, free throw is also a good thing, but for Big Ben, it is a mental torture.Big Ben's steady two free throws were all off, and David Lee got the rebound.The Bulls attacked, Wang Jun and David Lee blocked and dismantled, went to Ben Wallace's side, Big Ben defended out, Wang Jun crossed the ball to the middle, and David Lee held the ball and attacked and made Prince foul.David Lee hit both free throws and shot 757 from the free-throw line.David Lee was happy when he returned to the defense, and sprayed trash talk to Big Ben in the low position."
Man, your free throws are too scummy, I won't be scumbag" Hearing this, Big Ben could only be silent, unable to fight back.If he beats David Lee strongly, he will only behave more scummy.The Pistons couldn't open the offense, but Wang Jun began to exert his power, counterattacked and hit Rashid one, and broke into the basket to score a layup.The next round, the Bulls fought back, and he drew a foul on Rashid and hit both free throws.Rashid wanted to return one, relying on his height advantage to score three points outside the perimeter, and he was biased under Wang Jun's interference.The Bulls counterattacked again, Wang Jun received the ball outside, played skills outside the three-point line, and retreated to shoot with two crotch dribbles.Rashid didn't dare to save too far and didn't cover it, and the ball went in.The Bulls had been fighting positionally before, and suddenly counterattacked several times to blind the opponent, and the score difference finally widened to double digits.The Pistons attacked, and the big station did not come out of the low position, and there would be an embarrassment of 4 to 5 when they went out, and the one-on-one Piston shooting rate was not high.This bench lost too much, the Pistons did not dare to make substitutions, Prince has been playing with Wang Jun for more than 40 minutes, in addition to Big Ben, the other three main players have also played for a long time.The Pistons had a rare opportunity to break quickly, and Hayes also fouled Big Ben without the ball, and the team sent him to free throws with four fouls, and Big Ben missed two free throws.Sanders reluctantly replaced Big Ben and replaced McDyes, and he had no advantage in beating Hayes and David Lee.With one minute remaining, the Pistons, who were trailing by eight points, missed a pass, and Hinrich made a solo fast-break layup to seal the win.The Bulls proved their strength and refused to be swept s:
