During halftime, the Nets were also discussing the Pistons' second-half tactics!

Tactics are a very important part of basketball games.

Having some superstar players can enrich a team's tactics. For example, Wei Guo can play positions 1 through 5, and he is a top player in the league at every position. This is why outsiders believe that Gentry is the happiest head coach in the league.

But...

They all misunderstood Gentry.

Gentry's greatest happiness was that with Wei Guo around, he didn't need to make any tactical arrangements!

......

The second half began, and the Nets remained calm and observed the situation.

The Pistons took the first attack!

Rasheed found himself in open space, Billups passed the ball to Rasheed, and then Hamilton moved to the weak side, raising his hand to signal Rasheed to pass!

"really..."

Gentry laughed, "Even when Rasheed has an open shot, he doesn't dare to shoot!"

Ben Wallace and Rasheed's offensive abilities were already average. The Nets left them open, and Mourning stayed under the basket, letting them shoot as long as they weren't in the paint. This was a huge blow to their confidence, and by the second half, neither of them had the courage to even take a shot.

Jefferson was guarding Billups, but he gave Billups a step away!

Billups has a chance to receive the ball, and once he does, Jefferson will closely guard him and prevent him from shooting!

The Pistons' offense was struggling...

Billups received the ball and hastily took a shot, but missed!

Wei Guo grabbed the defensive rebound, and Stockton had already run to midcourt. Wei Guo passed the ball to Stockton, who then took control of the game's tempo!

Hamilton and Rashid flanked the defender!

Gentry said, "Wei-ge guessed right again, the Pistons are starting to double-team Wei-ge!"

Brown's tactics were clear: since the Nets were leaving Ben Wallace and Rasheed open, he would have two players double-team Wei Guo to limit his scoring. If other Nets players scored, Brown would accept it.

Mourning and Stockton executed a pick-and-roll!

Mourning received a pass from Stockton and took a mid-range shot.

"Whoosh!!!"

The basketball swished through the net!

59:43!!

The Nets are already leading by 16 points. If the Nets extend their lead to more than 20 points, the Pistons will be in danger.

These next two attacks are crucial!

"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

Scott clapped his hands and shouted, reminding the players that this defensive play was extremely important!

The Nets retreated quickly on defense. More than ten seconds into the 24-second shot clock, the Pistons still couldn't find a shot. Hamilton passed the ball to Anthony, who took the ball and went one-on-one. Wei Guo and Jefferson switched on defense. Anthony's big butt was against Wei Guo, but he was not as strong as Wei Guo and could only use some footwork to try to get rid of him!

But...

The defense of Weiguo is truly excellent!

With only 3 seconds left, Anthony couldn't find a chance to shoot and had to pass the ball out!

Ben Wallace catches the ball!!!

Big book: (#￣～￣#)

To create space for Anthony to isolate and score, Ben Wallace moved out to the three-point line, and he was the only one on the Pistons with a wide-open shot!

"what's on your mind!"

Brown yelled, "Shoot now!"

Ben Wallace had no way out; if he didn't shoot, it would be a 24-second violation, so he had to take the shot!

An outrageous three-pointer...

The ball bounced off the top of the rim, and Wei Guo easily grabbed the defensive rebound!

"well..."

Brown sighed.

However, the Pistons still have a chance because their greatest strength is defense. The Nets players have already run up the frontcourt, and only Wei Guo is slowly dribbling the ball.

Brown panicked!

"Wei Guo is going to shoot a super long three-pointer!"

Brown yelled, "Double him up last time, don't let him shoot!"

Brown understands Wei Guo well. If Wei Guo dribbles slowly, it means he's preparing to shoot a long-range three-pointer. Brown's reminder was timely, and Hamilton backed down Wei Guo with a quick movement.

Wei Guo suddenly accelerated as he pushed the ball forward, sending it a short distance. Hamilton was secretly pleased, thinking it was a good opportunity to steal the ball. He moved to the left and reached out to try to intercept it!

He was fooled...

Wei Guo pulled the ball back with a backhand, incredibly fast!

Sam God!

With no defender in front of him, Wei Guo pulled up for a three-pointer, two steps away from the three-point line!

"Whoosh!!!"

The basketball swished through the net!

62:43!!

The reason Wei Guo scored this time wasn't through technology, but through sheer skill!

Personal ability...

Brown had already warned him, and Hamilton had run back to defend, but Wei Guo still managed to score.

Francis shrugged and said, "19 points... Knowing Wei Ge as I do, the point difference in this game will definitely be over 20 points."

"You seem to be gloating a little."

Iverson hummed.

"That's true... haha, it's better for two people to lose than for one to lose!"

Francis and Iverson were betting on the point difference. Francis would win if the score was within 10 points, and Iverson would win if it was between 10 and 20 points. Francis no longer had a chance to win, and now he hoped that Iverson would lose with him.

Brother Wei isn't short of money...

He might forget about the bet after winning the game.

......

Brown called a timeout, and the game, which seemed certain to be won, was now in full swing.

Before the match...

The Pistons are widely favored and are expected to win the series 4-1.

If they lose this game, the tide will turn dramatically. The next game will be at the Nets' home court, and if the Nets, with home-court advantage, win again, the series will be 3-2, and the balance of power will tip in their favor.

Brown doesn't want to lose, especially not when the Nets are short-handed!

Ben was still blaming himself for missing the three-pointer. It was one thing for him to miss, but right after he shot the three-pointer, Wei Guo immediately responded with an even longer three-pointer, which was quite embarrassing.

He remained silent.

Brown waited for Ben Wallace and Rasheed, "If the Nets leave you two open again, you should attack the paint. If you can't score, fight for the offensive rebound. You're an All-Star player, can you stand the Nets humiliating you like this?"

This was a provocation tactic, and Brown had no other choice but to do it.

The Pistons are trailing by too much and can't stop Wei Guo. What they need to do now is to attack, not defend. If Ben Wallace and Rasheed still can't put that damn ball in the basket, Brown will have to put Prince and Okur on the court to add two more scoring options for the Pistons and try to catch up in the score!

"Coach, please trust us one more time!"

......

Timeout over, Pistons on offense!

Ben Wallace was left wide open in the mid-range, and Anthony passed the ball to him. After receiving the ball, Wallace stepped to the basket, and Mourning immediately positioned himself under the basket!

Big Ben crashed into Mourning...

Mourning took a step back, which was within the fair zone, and Ben was pushing against Mourning's force before getting up.

"Bang!!!"

Mourning scores with a powerful two-handed dunk!
