267 The situation reverses

Zhou Yi did not force a breakthrough, but quickly handed the ball to McGrady. Faced with a strong team like the Mavericks, the playing style and tactics must be changed from before. Flexible and changeable passes, active running of outside players, and the requirements for inside players to get a position. The game against the Mavericks is extremely important.

McGrady made a fake move, breaking through the Mavericks' defensive player, making a mid-range jump shot, helping the Pistons turn the score into 90:86, leading by 4 points.

Jason Kidd made a wonderful story about Dirk Nowitzki, who made a jump shot from the Golden Rooster.

After Zhou Yi broke through, the ball was delivered to the bottom line by James Percy in time. The latter's three-pointer missed. Greg Monroe easily took the rebound and leaned against Dirk Nowitzki, and advanced step by step into the three-second zone.

Greg Monroe bent his left elbow slightly, resisted Dirk Nowitzki, widened the distance between the two, and easily jumped and hit a small hook.

After breathing a relaxed breath, Greg Monroe wiped the sweat from his forehead. Unexpectedly, Dirk Nowitzki was always soft and his strength was quite strong. The short distance of two or three steps made him really work. The last little hook felt a little wrong. Fortunately, he was lucky. The ball bounced on the basket a few times, and finally fell into the basket.

Sean Marion pulled out to the outside to block Jason Kidd. Under Zhou Yi's defense, Jason Kidd was not as casual as in previous games, especially when he broke through. He was about to succeed a few times, and Zhou Yi appeared in front of him strangely. After many breakthroughs failed, he could only rely more on the teammates' block.

The Mavericks have a lot of scoring players. Many people used to say that the Mavericks were just those people playing. In fact, this sentence is incorrect. The Mavericks have good substitutes, especially after Dirk Nowitzki was absent, the Mavericks' substitutes had more opportunities to perform. The best ones were naturally Jose Barria and Sean Marion. Several other players also had good efficiency, but their playing time was limited and they could not be seen in the data.

Jason Kidd quickly broke through the middle and entered the three-second zone, but Greg Monroe was already on guard in the inside. Jason Kidd quickly broke through the middle and entered the three-second zone, but Greg Monroe was already on guard in the inside. Seeing that there was no good opportunity to take action, with Jason Kidd's game style, he naturally would not take action so easily. With a light swing of his wrist, the ball quickly flew into Sean Marion's hand. At this time, Greg Monroe had already gone to defend Jason Kidd, and the other Pistons players had no time to make up for the defense. He gently stretched his ape's arms and easily dunked the ball into the basket.

Zhou Yi's long pass from the midfielder was handed over to the inside, and Greg Monroe easily tricked Sean Marion away with a realistic and fake move. The ball was passed into the basket.

Jason Kidd's breakthrough pass, Jason Terry's right-wing three-pointer hit.

A pass mistake by the Pistons, Jason Kidd, Sean Marion, and Jason Terry easily had three-on-two, and finally made a mid-range shot by Jason Kidd.

94:95, the Mavericks overtake the score, and now the Mavericks control the situation on the field.

There was only one minute left in the third quarter, and John Custer called out a timeout.

After the timeout, the Pistons' Zhou Yi was replaced by Will Bynum to rest in case of a better performance in the most intense and important fourth quarter. James Percy replaced James Percy and Ben Gordon replaced McGrady.

For the Mavericks, Jose Barrea replaced Jason Kidd and Ian Massinmi replaced Dirk Nowitzki.

The game continues, the Pistons' ball rights.

Ben Gordon suddenly jumped out of the three-point line, and hit a three-pointer with a "swish".

This three-pointer shot was very sudden. Jason Terry didn't expect that he would dare to take action at such a distance.

In the next minute, the Mavericks played very well, making two shots, and defending the Pistons' two attacks.

At the end of the third quarter, the Pistons temporarily trailed the Mavericks by 3 points at 97:100.

In the third quarter, this important time for the Mavericks, Jason Kidd performed the best. It was under the leadership of Jason Kidd that the Mavericks launched such a fierce counterattack and eventually overtaken the score. Jason Kidd is worthy of being the best organizational guard in the current service. In the third quarter, he made three of five shots, scored 8 points and 5 assists. Zhou Yi made three of six shots, and also scored 8 points, but only gave 4 assists.

In other players, the Mavericks have scored in double digits so far, with the highest score being Jason Kidd's 18 points, while the Pistons have only three players scoring in double digits, and Greg Monroe's 17 points is the highest score in the team.

John Custer had nothing to say about the players' performance on the court. Their performance was definitely top-notch, but the Mavericks' powerful scoring corps found the touch at the beginning of the third quarter, with the inside and outside lines blooming everywhere. The offensive battle set by John Custer during the halftime was also prepared to make the opponent score wildly, but the opponent was allowed to overtake the score in the third quarter, which made him still difficult for him to accept.

After encouraging the players, John Custer reminded his disciples to pay attention to defense. As long as the defense is done well in the last quarter and then the offense is played out, there is still a great hope of winning.

In the last quarter, the Mavericks made adjustments to their lineup. Jose Barrea and Deshen Stevenson replaced Jason Kidd and Sean Marion respectively. Such a change of formation did not weaken the attack power of the Mavericks, and the two new players were also relatively outstanding scorers.

Jose Baria has been Jason Kidd's substitute this season, with 45.9% shooting, and averaging 11.1 points and 3.9 assists per game. He is definitely a main player in other teams. His three-point shooting ability is also good, which can play a big role in critical moments.

Although Deshen Stevenson is not as good as the former, he can average 7.5 points per game, and his 38.7% three-point shooting is definitely a trusted outside shooter.

On the Pistons, Will Bynum replaced McGrady, and John Custer dared not replace the organizational general like Rick Carlisle. The Pistons' starting attack power was originally far inferior to the Mavericks. Now he replaced McGrady and used the two-point guard card. His intention was very obvious, allowing Will Bynum to share the heavy responsibility of Zhou Yi's organization and focus more energy on the offense. After all, after McGrady got out, only Zhou Yi can trust the offense from the outside.

After the start of the fourth quarter, Jose Barrea was responsible for the ball control of the Mavericks. This rookie in 2006 has been valued since he joined the Mavericks. His efficiency is very good, and he has the style of Jason Kidd in handling some key balls. The only shortcomings are that he does not have the agility and weirdness of Jason Kidd's passes. Many of Jason Kidd's wonderful passes are passed from angles that are unimaginable to ordinary people, especially in small angle passes, no one in the league can compare with him, so Jason Kidd is known as the league's number one organizational defender.

Jason Kidd's fate made Zhou Yi more aggressive towards the game. This is Jose Barrea's fourth year in the NBA and has gained some experience in the league. However, when facing him, Zhou Yi is confident that he has the strength to suppress his performance.

Jose Baria quickly brought the ball through the half. He passed the ball through the way he passed the ball. He passed it out just after halftime and scored points. If he didn't have a chance to shoot, the ball would be quickly passed back. At this time, he had more choices under active running position. This is the style of the Mavericks. The ball has been moving rapidly, so it is difficult for the opponent to cut off their passing route. In fast sports battles, the shooting opportunities are also easy to pull out.

After receiving the ball, Deshen Stevenson drove the ball, and a change of direction rushed to the inside quickly. Will Bynum appeared in front of him almost at the same time. Seeing that there was no chance of taking action, Deshen Stevenson did not force at all. One retreated and the other passed the ball in a long pass. The ball passed by a quarter of the court, crossed the heads of two Pistons players and handed it to Jose Barrea at the bottom line of the right wing.

The moment he started to pass the ball, Greg Monroe had already realized the purpose of his pass, and immediately pulled him out to make up for defense. Anyway, Samuel Durhamport in the interior, he only needed to make up for defense, giving Zhou Yi and the others a time to relax, and he could withdraw back to the interior.

At the moment when Greg Monroe came out to defend and make up for defense, Jose Baria glanced lightly at the ball flying over, held the basketball with her right hand, and used a slight force, and the ball quickly flew back in the direction of the coming. Greg Monroe watched the ball fly over his head helplessly. The Mavericks' playing style is flexible and changeable passing. Several players on the court have good passing skills. If there is no shooting opportunity, they will never force it. Anyway, they have to let the ball fall into the hands of an unmanned defender as soon as possible.

Sean Sean Marion jumped up gently and quickly took the ball off. His body bent slightly, and his back was tightly leaning against Samuel Durhamport. He used a little force to slightly widen the distance between the two. He held the ball with his right wrist raised high. Judging from his posture, it was a complete preparation for a hook shot.

Samuel Durhamport did not dare to slack off. After being knocked away, he immediately pressed his body on him again. A force passed through the body that the two were in contact, and actually put pressure on Sean Marion. You must know that the moment the player takes action, the body's defense is the most vulnerable. When he loses his position, the chance of throwing the ball in is much lower than jumping up and defending.

Sean Marion quickly retreated behind his right wrist, and the ball hit the ground and bounced to Brandon Heywood at the right time. At this time, no one was defending him. He shouted, jumped high, and then a very violent dunk came.

Greg Monroe and Zhou Yi looked at each other helplessly. Before they knew it, the Mavericks had mastered the rhythm of the field.

The Pistons served at the bottom line, and Zhou Yi quickly led the ball through the half. Jose Barrea, who defended Zhou Yi, couldn't help feeling a little panicked when he looked at Zhou Yi. He had seen Jason Kid and Zhou Yi's confrontation for so long just now.

Jose Baria asked himself that he did not have the skills of Jason Kidd and did not have as rich experience as he did. In fact, if he maintained a normal mentality, he might not be able to limit Zhou Yi's breakthrough. However, before the two collided, he felt unsure and panicked, and his defensive position was also deformed.

After half a season of test, Zhou Yi has long been different from the past. Jose Barrea's nervous expression fell into his eyes, so he naturally knew it. In fact, with his understanding of Jose Barrea, his defensive strength is definitely not inferior to Jason Kidd. His defense relies more on speed, otherwise he would not be swept out so easily by the Mavericks. Jose Barrea's pace is definitely not slow, and he undoubtedly has a considerable advantage over Jason Kidd in terms of physical strength.

Zhou Yi was not in a hurry to break through. He stood outside the three-point line and controlled the ball in his hand rhythmically. A smile appeared on his face. It felt like he couldn't figure it out in Jose Baria's eyes, especially his dark eyes, staring at his eyes tightly. He really didn't know what he intended. In a panic, he intuition lowered his eyes, completely forgot that it was on the court now, and subconsciously avoided his eyes and looked at the ball in his hand.

Zhou Yi was not proud of this. Taking advantage of the moment when his vision changed, Zhou Yi changed direction and easily broke through Jose Baria. After his first step was activated, Zhou Yi was already very calm. At his own speed, as long as he started, in such a short distance, no one in the league could surpass him.

Zhou Yi was not panicked at all with Sean Marion’s defense. He had already been prepared, supported the ground with his right foot, and quickly turned around on the spot. His body was leaning against Sean Marion’s arms, pushing his hands flat, and the ball flew straight out of the inside line and handed it to Will Bynum, who was unguarded on the right wing. The latter took the ball and jumped, took the knife and fell, and the ball entered the net.

Sean Marion missed the left wing jump shot, and Brandon Haywood took the lead and pushed the ball into the basket.

Zhou Yi made a three-pointer with the arc and entered the net with hollowness.

Greg Monroe made great contributions to this three-pointer. It was him who attracted the Mavericks' defensive players and handed the ball to Zhou Yi, who was unguarded.

Brandon Heywood missed the ball at the basket, and Greg Monroe's right elbow gently pressed against Ian Massinmi's waist. The ball gently landed in his hand. A long pass, Zhou Yi, who had already ambushed in the midfield, made a layup all the way.

Jose Baria used his teammates' cover to get rid of Zhou Yi's defense and directly attacked the Pistons' basket and made a layup.

Greg Monroe received a wonderful pass from Zhou Yi, scoring a dunk, and caused an foul by Ian Masinmi, successfully hitting 2+1.

The Auburn Mountain Palace Arena heard warmly applauded. The Pistons have been passive during this period, so the hearts of the home fans are also hanging. Now they are naturally very happy to see the home team gradually pull the situation back.

Jason Kidd rested for less than four minutes off the court, and the Pistons scored a 11:6 climax, tied the score at 108:108.

This made Rick Carlisle unable to sit still and ran to the sidelines several times to command. Jose Baria's current performance in Zhou Yi has caused a big setback in the team's offense.

Jose Barrea made a pass mistake, Greg Monroe easily intercepted the ball, and a long pass across half the court assisted Will Bynum to make a layup.

Will Bynum's layup helped the Pistons overtake 2 points with 110:108, and the Pistons regained the initiative.

Rick Carlisle quickly sent Jason Kidd back on the court, Dirk Nowitzki replaced Ian Masinmi. John Custer also took the opportunity to change Zhou Yi. Such a fast-paced game made Zhou Yi's physical strength consumed very quickly. For the next game, he temporarily let him rest for a few minutes, and McGrady replaced Zhou Yi on the court.

John Custer's substitution was criticized by most media after the game, believing that this was his biggest trick in this game.

When Rick Carlisle changed to the main lineup again, John Custer replaced his engine, and the rhythm of the entire game returned to the hands of the Mavericks. When John Custer realized his mistake, the Mavericks had already established a great advantage.

John Custer has always focused on the physical strength of the Mavericks. In his opinion, in the last few minutes, the Mavericks showed fatigue. Zhou Yi, who had recovered his strength, would naturally win the game like autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves. But he forgot that the Mavericks' substitute strength is definitely above the Pistons. Some time ago, the injury of the "German Chariot" Dirk Nowitzki indirectly helped the growth of some bench players of the team.

In just three minutes, the Pistons experienced the most embarrassing three minutes since the season.

Under Jason Kidd's threading, the Mavericks fully utilized their offensive firepower, which made the Pistons players very distressed.

Not only did the Pistons not only did their defense poorly, but they couldn't even make their own offensive rhythm, and made continuous mistakes.

15:4, this is the score of both sides in these three minutes. Within three minutes, the Pistons only made two shots. At the critical moment, all the team's shooters failed, and even the free throws were off.
