Wang Jun only scored 2 points and grabbed 6 rebounds. ←

Both sides appeared on the bench in the second quarter and continued to fight for defense.

Kittles felt average and missed the two shots.

Jefferson scored 4 points in the first quarter, but he couldn't find any sense of being on the bench. He couldn't find any chance to score under the Pistons' defense of Tianluodi Net. He also took a big hat from the substitute center Campbell, which was very shameless.

Elden Campbell is 213cm tall and weighs 127 kilograms. He is 36 years old and has started to gain weight. He can only make a meat shield inside.

He relies on experience to defend. If Jefferson relies on cover to get rid of shooting or break through, he will definitely not be able to keep up. Jefferson wants to rush into the inside to dunk and create the best five balls.

It was only after more than two minutes that the Nets scored for the first time. Fortunately, the Pistons also had weak offense and were competing for the iron.

After the starter was replaced, this situation did not change. All the players became blacksmiths. Martin and Aaron scored a total of 8 points in the inside, and the other 4 points were Kidd's mid-range shot after pick-and-roll.

The Nets were in scoring drought with three and a half minutes left before the game, and they didn't score a single point until the end.

Wang Jun kept running, his opponent followed closely, and Kidd didn't pass the ball. He had no chance to attack even if he wanted to be strong, and he had no place to use his strength.

If the ball is not in your own hands, you can only worry. This is the biggest difference between a role player and a core player. It is a torture for a player with the strongest score.

Wang Jun scored more points than Jefferson and Kittles in his first season, and he had a tendency to become the third leader, but he was not satisfied with this. His possession rate was too low.

At the end of the half, the Nets fell behind 28-37.

Wang Jun scored no points and grabbed two more rebounds. He scored 2 points and 8 rebounds in the half.

It seems that 9 points behind, but for the two-time Eastern Conference champion Nets, 28 points in the first half, is too ugly. Last season, the Pistons were still the team they swept away by them.

The two teams scored only 65 points in the first half, setting a record of the lowest first half in the NBA playoffs.

The previous record was 66 points in the third game of the Spurs vs. Nets last season. The lowest score of the two teams in the second half of the NBA playoffs was 60 points.

It's the Nets again, breaking this record for two consecutive seasons is really depressing.

Barkley also talked about this. "It was precisely because the Nets won the ball through defense for two consecutive seasons that the Pistons hired Larry Brown to train in vocational education, traded Rashid in the mid-term, and strictly guarded the defense. More and more teams in the league attach importance to defense, and the game has become even worse than "When Ah Dai Meets Agua".

Smith smiled and said, "The Nets have Jefferson and Martin. They often scored in the top five goals, which is not ugly, right?"

Barkley was stunned for a moment and changed his words: "I apologize to the Nets. They just defended well and still scored beautiful goals. The real ugly thing to play is the Pistons and the Spurs. It's too ugly. Fortunately, the Spurs have been eliminated."

If Spurs fans watch live TV, they will definitely be disgusted by Barkley's "big mouth" and they can't do anything to him.

During the halftime break, Lawrence emphasized more cooperation and continued to fight for defense.

At the beginning of the second half, the Nets scored 6 points in a row.

First, Martin scored a mid-range shot against Billups, and then Collins made a free throw, and Wang Jun got rid of it with cover and caught the ball and made a three-pointer. The Nets tied the score to 34-37.

Unfortunately, this is just a return to the Nets, and the Pistons have strengthened their defense against the outside.

Kidd, Jefferson and Martin broke through and attacked after pick-and-roll. They made a continuous iron shot and failed to score a single point within 5 minutes.

The Pistons also widened the score difference to 15 points with a 12-0 attack wave.

Lawrence made a mistake in substitution, so he chose to let Wang Jun rest. He replaced Kittles, who was in a sluggish state, and tried to open up the situation with the veteran's playoff experience.

Kittles is used to attracting defense from the outside and being a role player. He has been a substitute for most of this season, and he has lost his energy and will only add icing on the cake and cannot turn the tide.

Without a good chance of making a phone call, Kittles passed the ball again and again, and the situation did not change at all.

After three quarters, the Nets only scored 43 to 57.

Entering the final quarter, Wang Jun was followed very tightly and didn't receive a few passes.

In the past, he could use physical strength to drag down his opponent, but today this move is useless.

Relying on the "scoring tactic", the Nets narrowed the gap to 9 points at most, and the Pistons substitute guard Lynch Hunter's three-pointer and layup widened the gap again.

The Nets' shooting percentage is very low, and Lawrence doesn't know how to adjust.

At the last moment, seeing his teammates hitting irons continuously, Wang Jun really wanted to shout "pass" at Kidd.

He felt that he had a one-on-one match against Hamilton and jumped in case of interference, and his shooting percentage might not be as low as the team is now.

When he arrived at the frontcourt, Wang Jun leaned against Hamilton and directly asked for the ball. Kidd did not pass and cooperated. Wang Jun wanted to speak several times, but finally held back.

If Kidd thinks the attack is reasonable, the chance of passing it to Wang Jun is relatively high, and he will pass it without calling it.

On the contrary, Kidd would only be unhappy and think that the basketball philosophy was not in harmony.

The rookie shouted to pass the ball to the boss, and the media would think it was a performance of grabbing the boss. Kobe endured it for three seasons before he started shouting in the Lakers.

Wang Jun had to work harder to find opportunities until the end of the game.

64 to 78, the Nets lost their home advantage and were disgraced in front of the audience.

Wang Jun made a three-pointer in the fourth quarter, made a foul with one empty cut, and made both free throws.

He made 3 of 9 shots in the game, 2 of 6 three-pointers and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 10 points, 13 rebounds and 1 assist.

Hamilton scored 15 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists, and his performance was not bad.

Kidd made 4 of 13 shots, 1 of 5 three-pointers, no free throws, and scored 9 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists.

Martin scored 14 points and 5 rebounds, and Kittles scored 11 points.

The net team scored in total three of them in double digits, and none of them scored 15+, so it would be strange if they could win.

The Nets can reflect on their failures in this game one day, and the second game between the two sides will be played at home on the 22nd.

At the press conference, Pistons coach Larry Brown was very calm and did not look down on the Nets because of his first victory.

"I think everyone on the team should be aware of the severity of this series. Home advantage is very important, and winning this game is a good start, and 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 in their second home court. Relying on their good performance away, the Pistons still beat their opponent 4-1 easily. The Nets are stronger opponents, and the Pistons do not want to give their opponents any chance to counterattack.

The Nets are under greater pressure. If they lose their second home court, the situation will be very bad.

Lawrence said calmly: "We had some problems with the offense today, and the shooting percentage is very low. I think the players will adjust. This is just the first game, and I firmly believe that the Nets will advance to the finals."

The reporter asked: "How do you evaluate the opponent's defense?"

"We are very tough, we are not bad either. Don't forget that the Pistons only scored 78 points."

Xu Xuejiao interviewed Wang Jun and asked: "Are you satisfied with your performance today?"

"I'm very dissatisfied. If the team wins, my data will almost be fine. If the game loses, the data will be meaningless."

Xu Xuejiao asked: "How do you think the next game should be adjusted?"
