When he first entered the league, Wang Jun was the bitter master of the Pistons, and his playing style was similar to Hamilton, and he could bully Hamilton with strength.After Wang Jun joined the Bulls, he eliminated the Pistons in the playoffs for two consecutive years.Before the game even started, the Pistons management led by Joe Dumas felt the pressure first.As long as they are eliminated by the Bulls for the third time in a row, this team will have to disintegrate in the summer, and it will not end well if it continues like this.The Bulls had an absolute psychological advantage, and before Chandler and Barnes returned, the Bulls easily defeated the Pistons 100-85 in the first game.After the game, the Chinese media laughed that the Pistons suffered from "cow phobia" and that their bench did not score except for McDyes.The mid-term arrival of veteran Latliff did not make the Pistons stronger inside, and they are still a group of blue-collar workers.On the other side, the Celtics and Cavaliers played an ugly game, with the Green Army winning 76-72 at home.Only Garnett of the Big Three played normally, scoring 28 points and eight rebounds.Pierce made only 2 of 14 shots and missed free throws to score 4 points, and Ray Allen was even worse, scoring no points.If it weren't for the veteran Kassel scoring 13 points and playing at a super level, the Green Army would probably be on its knees at home.James struggled under tight defense, scoring 12 points, nine rebounds and nine assists on just 2-of-18 shooting from the field, and he had 10 turnovers and nearly hit a quadruple-double.There was no suspense in Game 2 of the Bulls vs.
Pistons, and the role players stepped up.Lewis had 20 points, six rebounds, and made three three-pointers to clear the interior well.Calderon made 5-of-8 three-pointers and finished with 22 points and eight assists.Just looking at the data, he is not inferior to Loops.Wang Jun had 31 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, and there was always a way to attract the bag.The Bulls beat the Pistons 108-90.The Pistons relied on the four-man offense, but they still couldn't break through the Bulls' defense.Every year the Bulls use the same tactics against the Pistons, 122 to compress the defense and defend the basket.Strictly prevent Billups and Rashid from shooting three-pointers, and let others shoot.As long as the shot doesn't go in, Wang Junyi's counterattack is an opportunity, and the Pistons' joint defense can't be put in place.The Bulls missed the offense and didn't grab the rebound at all.Quick back defense.Ensure that the joint defense is in place.The Celtics beat the Cavaliers 93-78 at home to also take a 2-0 lead.The third match between the two teams will be played in Cleveland on the 11th.This time, the Big Three played normally, and the scores were all in double figures.The Cavaliers shot just 356 from the field under the opponent's impregnable defense.James finished with 21 points and six assists on 6-of-24 shooting, with seven turnovers.This series James is the man who wants to be the "king of turnovers".The media can't praise James if they want to, the performance is too bad.Pierce, Tony Allen, and Garnett have been very successful in defending him.The third game between the Bulls and Pistons was played in Detroit.The Pistons' home morale is like a rainbow, losing year after year.The fans didn't abandon them.In the opening game, the Pistons changed their previous style of play.Opened up space for Mark Hill to cut to the basket.Mark Hill is 201 tall, and he was selected in the first round because of his super physical fitness, he has great strength, bounce power, and speed.As soon as he rushed up, Hill and Lewis couldn't stop it, making two shots and two hits in the opening game, and gave David Lee a big hat.Billups also played Calderón.Look for opportunities on the perimeter and make a stop-and-go jumper.Calderón has always had problems with the single defense.The anti-breakout is terrible.The two teams were tied at 27 in the first quarter, and the Bulls' shooting percentage dropped sharply in the second quarter.Hill returned to the starting lineup, leaving Watson and David Lee on the bench with mediocre performances.Novak made the playoffs like a different person, with a defensive leak and an offensive stand, averaging only 10 minutes per game, 27 points and 08 rebounds, and 15 shots per game.At first glance, 571's three-point shooting is invincible, but in fact, he shoots once a three-point game.A lot of players are regular season players and can't play hard.Novak is one, and so is Watson, who can't even play at 70 percent in training.Watson could only play as the third bench after Dujon's return, playing about 8 minutes, scoring 32 points and 1 assist, shooting 34 from the field, just better than veteran guard Breven Knight, who was not in the squad.The offensive rhythm of the two teams was very slow, and the Bulls were collectively dumb on the outside, shooting only 1 of 8 three-pointers, how could the Pistons miss such a good opportunity and quickly open the score.With 2:25 left in the quarter, Starkey hit both free throws, assisted for a dunk by Prince and Rashid hit a three-pointer in the next round.The Pistons scored seven straight points to take a 14-point lead.Wang Jun made more breakthroughs, singled out Prince to score a layup, and assisted David Lee to score a shot, narrowing the gap slightly, and trailing 40-50 in the first half.The Bulls began to exert their power in the second half, Wang Jun continued to attract the bag to break through the ball, assisted Lewis to hit three points, Calderon also shot two three-pointers in the second half, plus Wang Jun counterattacked the dry pull three-pointer, the Bulls shot 7 of 8 three-pointers in this quarter, reversing the disadvantage in one fell swoop.Prince is a well-known master of wing defense, jamming shots and chasing big hats.He is not without shortcomings, his body is thin and his ability to fight is poor.In the regular season, he was deflated the most times by James, Pierce, Wang Jun, Anthony, Wade and several other players.Wang Jun relied on his own skills combined with crab steps to single-handedly take on Prince and firmly gain the upper hand.It's a pity that the power of one person is limited after all, and the current lineup of the Bulls is just average.Even if Wang Jun is fine now, he trembles like a sheep and his body shakes again and again, no star will be deeply impressed by his personality charm, and he can't help but want to bow down and join the Bulls as a junior brother to assist him.NBA trade rules dictate that in the playoffs, he is surrounded by this group of people, and he is the only one who is good at attacking with the ball.In the last quarter, Wang Jun continued to be trapped, and his teammates began to hit the iron.Billups and Hamilton scored consecutive points to overtake the score again.The Bulls lost the magic of the third quarter, missing all five three-pointers in the quarter, and the Pistons went on a 7-0 run.Not only "teammate CBA", Wang Jun also fell into a scoring dilemma under the impregnable defense of the Pistons, and was caught as soon as he broke through, and even was caught by three people when he broke through the restricted area, and the pull-up layup could not let him dodge several hands.With 7:14 left in the quarter, Wang Jun failed to hit a shot for more than 5 minutes, and he didn't hit another three-pointer until the end of the game, and the Bulls still trailed 91-98.The Pistons hit 2 of 4 free throws at a critical moment, giving the Bulls a chance, but unfortunately Wang Jun missed three points.With 186 seconds left, the Bulls began to foul and Billups hit both free throws to give the Pistons a seven-point lead.Lewis' three-pointer still missed, and the Bulls lost.The game was a huge morale boost for the Pistons and gave them hope.As a result, just one night, the Pistons officially broke the news that Billups would miss Game 4 due to injury.Billups strained his right hamstring during the game and had to rest for at least a week.Luck is also part of the strength, and while Pistons rookie Rodney Starki, who started in place of Billups, has been playing well lately, the tactical effect has been much worse.After all, Billups is a veteran who has played hundreds of playoff games, and Starkey is just a rookie who has made the playoffs for the first time.He's not good at shooting three-pointers, and the Bulls' 122 defense is even harder to break.The Bulls won unceremoniously 104-89 to win match point on the road and take a 3-1 lead.s:
