Chapter 116: Away Blow Up

The Cavaliers' two home games 2:0 only saved their home advantage for the Cavaliers, which is completely natural. If the Cavaliers want to take a break earlier and sweep the game, the next two games will be even more difficult. Detroit's Auburn Hill Palace can be regarded as one of the NBA's home courts.

What's different from other devil's home courts is that it's not high and will not cause players to have altitude sickness, but it's far away. The only stadium is not in the city center. Players who play away often have to take a bus for two hours after getting off the plane to feel the stadium.

Next year, this stadium will be the last year to become the Pistons home stadium. Although the Pistons fans are very enthusiastic, the remote home stadium still makes the market neither storm nor popular. The 0-08 seasons are the peak period of the Pistons. Every year, it reaches the Eastern Conference Finals and has not been able to mention the Pistons' box office. This has brought the relocation of the stadium on the agenda, but the Cavaliers seem to be unable to enjoy it.

"Damn Auburn Mountain Palace, I swear, this is definitely the last time I have been here this season." JR Smith, who was lying on the bus, complained depressedly. Due to the weather, the Cavaliers' transfer was to fly to other cities and then transfer to the car. Now when he arrived in Detroit, he had to go to Auburn Mountain Palace. For the thorny head of JR Smith, he had long wanted to get angry.

James said with a smile: "Want to be here for the last time? It's very simple. I'll shoot all those damn threes to me in the next two games. That's what you have to do. Believe me, not only do we don't have to come to Detroit again, but you'll also let them not take the plane to Cleveland again, and they will thank you."

In the two sweeps and the Cavaliers' mission, they still insisted on the tactics of the second game. Since they were able to win more than 0 points last time, why should we make changes?

Lin Sen once again acted as the anti-explosive pack, but this time the task was far from as simple as expected.

The opposite side was still firing a gun from the outside, and Lin Sen immediately stuck to the inside and pushed his body directly towards Drummond's waist.

There was no change from the previous game. The only difference was that Lin Sen heard a crisp whistle this time.

A rebound foul was made. Less than a minute after the game started, Lin Sen got his first foul.

Obviously, the Cavaliers were a little overwhelmed by the big win in the last game, and they forgot to risk $25,000 in post-match press conference to express their anger.

They forgot that this place is called Auburn Hill Palace instead of Speed ​​Loan Center, which is the home court of the Pistons.

All of this gave a completely different penalty standard today. Lin Sen's first foul was obviously given.

As a rookie, Lin Sen can rely on his skills to gain offensive and defensive experience far exceeding his actual age, but he has no experience reading the referee's standards.

Similarly, sophomore head coach Blatt didn't think of this.

Another whistle sounded, and Lin Sen took his second foul in the third minute of the game.

This was a little uncomfortable. Lin Sen, the core of the "new tactic" carrying the explosive pack, did detonate the explosive pack, but he exploded before he rushed to Drummond. In the fifth minute of the first quarter, Lin Sen ended up again sadly.

In just this short game, Lin Sen has already ended in two unconventional rotations. Drummond's body and ability do have the possibility of being selected into the best team.

Without Lin Sen's rim protection in the first quarter, all the Cavaliers were rim protectionists, so they naturally did not take it so seriously to defend outside the three-point line. The consequence was that the Pistons had a three-point rain away. The Pistons seemed very familiar with their own baskets and the shooting rate was very good. Even if they failed, Drummond, the overlord of the penalty area, would do his best to win the frontcourt board.

Mozgov's knee injury relapsed, substitute Linson was Fry, but he and Drummond stood together, and the latter was obviously as big as two of him. Grab the board? This is even more unrealistic than Linson's presence.

The Cavaliers lost five frontcourt boards in the first quarter, giving the Pistons five more offensive opportunities, three of which were obtained by Drummond, and all of these three opportunities were eventually converted into scoring.

It is still useless to replace TT. TT is good at grabbing rebounds, and he often has a lot of offensive rebounds, but his way of grabbing the board is not reliable for defensive rebounds.

As soon as the second quarter came, Drummond, who had been resting for a few minutes in the first quarter, was very physically strong. He faced Lin Sen, who had just returned to the court, so he naturally wanted to teach Lin Sen a lesson.

The Cavaliers' outside line was very defensive. The Pistons led the lead in the first quarter, and five of the frontcourt boards made an indelible contribution. Similarly, the Pistons made 7 of 14 shots in the first quarter were also an important reason.

Blatt emphasized one thing during the break between the quarters: not only to curb the Pistons' three-point shooting percentage, but also to curb the opponent's three-point shooting number, so that the opponent dares to make three-pointers crazy. So for the Cavaliers, the defense outside the three-point line will be a failure.

Reggie Jackson couldn't find a phone call, and similarly, his teammates didn't have a chance. They didn't have many leads, and every game is very important for the Pistons who want to protect the away game.

He was not obsessed with having three points, and directly accelerated around the pick-and-roll and hit the basket. He had a headache facing Lin Sen's defense. This guy ran fast, had long hands, and had good jumps. More importantly, he bounced very quickly and had a huge coverage.

If you want to talk about weakness, it means physical weakness. You are weak, but the problem is even lighter than him. What does this weakness have to do with it?

European steps, with a high-difficulty throwing shot. Facing Lin Sen, Reggie Jackson spent much more energy than he imagined, and the probability of this kind of fairy ball is also extremely low, otherwise it would not be called fairy ball.

The basketball bounced on the basket twice before bounced out. Just as the Pistons fans were scolding their own basket, Drummond emerged from the sky and grabbed the offensive rebound and made a dunk directly.

Lin Sen's face, who became the background board, was gloomy. He helped him to jump the first time, facing Drummond, who jumped first. No matter how fast he bounced, he would not be able to catch up with this huge gap. When he wanted to make a little bad intention, he suddenly remembered that he had already committed two fouls, and now the second quarter has just started.
