334: Let’s climb the mountain again(1/3)

At the Palace of Auburn Hills, the fans in the stands were almost breathless.

At this time, G4 of the finals has reached the final moment, and the Pistons are still leading by 2 points.

Prior to this, the total score of the series had become 2-1, with the Suns leading.

Although the Suns are temporarily in the lead, both sides have played very anxiously in the past three games.

In the first game of the Finals, the Pistons gave the Suns a welcome gift, limiting the Suns' score to less than 90 points.

But because the Pistons' own offense was even worse, they only scored 72 points. Therefore, the Suns passed the test in G1 of the series.

Then what are you watching me do? I scored 7 points in this game, 3 points away from reaching double figures. I am asking you if you are afraid.

Rashid only scored 4 points in this game.

So, don't look down on me when the Pistons score low. This kind of inertial thinking is wrong, and you shouldn't look down on others like this.

Even if I can't score any more, no matter how hard I get 1 point in two consecutive games... I won't be like a top-paid point guard in a tiebreaker.

Duncan: No more, no more!

There may not be much difference between losing by 1 point and losing by 54 points. They are both losses anyway.

But there is still a big difference between getting 1 point and not getting 1 point!

It’s really not my turn to take the blame for the first game. It’s just a joke, but my role is not to score.

Only he thinks he is an All-Star scorer.

My defensive performance in the first game was very good, with 2 steals and 3 blocks, locking down every corner.

Without him, the Pistons would not be able to contain the Suns' offense below 90 points.

You know, the Suns are the team with the highest offensive efficiency this season.

There are very few games in which the Suns score less than 90 points this season, and the Pistons can contain the Suns' score below 90 from the very beginning. This defense is considered to be the ultimate.

The ones who should take the blame in the first game were Little Prince and Hamilton. Both of them had poor hands feeling, one shot 4 for 12 and the other 7 for 21.

As soon as Prince and Hamilton shut down, the team's scoring pressure fell on Billups.

Although Billups is a FMVP-level player, his scoring explosiveness is not particularly strong.

The Pistons can't win the game if he scores alone.

Just like that, the Suns won the first game of the series.

Because the point difference was double digits, many people were thinking that the Suns were going to go 4-0 again.

But Li Ang knew very well that although the score difference in this game seemed to be huge, in fact it was not easy to win.

The Pistons actually contained the Suns' offense, but the Suns did not suppress the Pistons tactically.

The Pistons lost just because they couldn't shoot accurately, not because of how good the Suns were.

Therefore, after winning the first game, Li Ang was not as arrogant as before against the Lakers.

When playing against the Lakers, Li Ang was really crazy.

After all, the Lakers have Payton as a safety lock. Payton is here and the position is there, the Lakers can't win!

But the Pistons were different. When he was interviewed after the first game, Li Ang did not pretend to be angry, but said very honestly: "The battle has just begun. I know very well that the brothers who won the championship with me last season

, it’s definitely more than this ability.”

Li Ang knew very well that he couldn't pretend to beep easily in front of the piston. If he pretended to beep easily, he wouldn't know how he would die.

However, not many people took Li Ang's words seriously.

Many Suns fans feel that Li Ang is purely trying to comfort his former club.

Just like what many technicians will say, "It's okay, brother, you may be nervous."

It's just to trick ghosts.

Li Ang is so used to being weird this time around that no one believes him when he speaks seriously.

But Li Ang really didn't lie, he really felt that the Pistons were difficult to deal with.

Sure enough, the Suns overturned in the second game.

In the second game of the series, the Pistons' defense reached its peak, and the Suns didn't even get 80 points!

In the whole game, the Suns scored 79 points.

The Pistons' pressing defense made the V-shaped offense very difficult.

First of all, Nash was badly guarded by Billups.

Under the rules of being able to grab anyone at will, Billups contained Nash's own offensive threat.

Therefore, the Pistons do not need to change their formation to double-team Nash.

Without double-teaming, there would be no openings. Without openings, Nash's passing would not be useful.

The Pistons' pressing defense made it difficult for Nash to pass the ball to his teammates.

The Suns' V-shaped offense encountered real obstacles for the first time.

During the regular season, although the Suns and Pistons also played against each other.

But the Pistons at that time were not a complete Pistons after all. Li Ang said at the time that the reason why the Pistons played so easily with Nash as the core was not only that Nash was really strong, but also because the Pistons lacked Rasheed at the time.

But now, this complete piston will not be killed so easily.

Under the perfect defense of the Pistons, no one on the Suns team except Leon scored more than 15 points in the second game of the series.

Li Ang only scored 21 points.

On the other hand, the Pistons not only did a good job defensively, but their offense finally picked up.

Hamilton scored 24 points and shot 47.8% from the field. Billups scored 20 points and shot 50% from the field.

Even my brother got 15 points.

I get 15 points, which is equivalent to your girlfriend coming to sleep at your house and bringing a best friend with you - it's so cool.

Relying on strong defense and equally excellent offense, the Pistons took away a victory in Arizona, and the total score of the series became a 1-1 tie.

At this point, Suns fans finally believed that Li Ang was not joking!

The piston is really strong.

Li Ang: I have always been a very serious person, I don’t know why you think I’m joking!

This game made the finals really exciting.

Because people don't believe until now that the Pistons are indeed capable of competing with the Suns!

Unlike the Lakers, it looks like there are a lot of people, but in fact each one has more food than the other.

Payton: Even I can’t even carry him!

After this, the series entered Detroit.

Because during this period, the home and away system of the Finals is still 2-3-2. Therefore, after the Suns play two home games, they will play three consecutive away games in Detroit.

Therefore, it is actually very disadvantageous for the Pistons to go to Detroit with a 1-1 score.

Fortunately, the Suns played very well in Game 3. Both Johnson and Nash made many shots against the defense.

No, who doesn't want to play with dumplings and have a meal with sister-in-law?

But even so, this game was very tense. Because the performance of Billups and Hamilton continued to improve, the Pistons played an extremely excellent offensive level.

In the end, the Suns only defeated the Pistons by 6 points.

In the third game of the series, the ratings hit a new high in this year's playoffs.

Leon's revenge, the Pistons' title defense and the anxious game are indeed very attractive.

The Suns improved the series score to 2-1, but Pistons fans were not worried.

After all, they still have two consecutive home games!

Moreover, the Pistons did not lose this game without a chance.

But with fewer magical goals from Van Nash and Johnson, the Pistons might have taken the 2-1 lead.

Therefore, even if they lose, the Pistons still have high morale and are bound to return to Arizona with match point!

Then today came, the fourth game of the series!

The rhythm of this game is similar to that of G3, both sides are playing very anxiously.

The Suns can't break through the Pistons' iron barrel formation, and the Pistons' offense can't directly destroy the Suns.

Li Ang was guarded very hard by Tianzun. Tianzun not only wanted to win the championship, he also wanted to completely defeat Li Ang.

So he was very motivated and played very hard.

Both sides fought fiercely, and the score could not be opened.

The collision between these two teams was like two large meat grinders colliding together.
