Chapter 364 The Unexpected X Factor

"This victory... seems a bit unbelievable?"

At the press conference at the end of the game, this was the first sentence that Bobcats coach Stotts said to reporters with a smile. At the same time, this was Stotts’ summary of this game. At the beginning, there was no way to start. After Zhan En broke out, the game seemed to suddenly become easier. Whether it was offense or defense, the Bobcats players seemed to wake up suddenly, and everything became orderly again. Lost in Gaotian After that, Jann suddenly took over the banner of the Bobcats and led the Bobcats to win the first Eastern Conference semifinals victory in team history.

This is very surprising. Even the bystanders feel that it is inexplicable for the Bobcats to win, not to mention the mood of the Pistons involved. Seeing that the first game could have been successfully won, they did not expect that the Bobcats were in what they thought was the worst. It is too unrealistic for someone to suddenly stand up on the back line where there may be an accident.

You must know that the Pistons' defense is strong on the back line. Whether it is Hamilton or Billups, they are one of the best defenders in the league. Zhan En should be firmly held in their hands, but in fact, there was not much difference from what they expected at the beginning of the game. Sun Yue scored 3 points and 3 assists in the first quarter. En scored 5 points and 2 assists in the first half of the quarter. Just when they thought it was stable, Jann, who had been neglected all the time, stood up with the ball and tore the Pistons' self-defense in a way that made all of them and Pistons fans feel familiar. Think impenetrable defense.

The entire defense of the Pistons failed to stop him. Everyone in the Pistons felt a kind of humiliation, the shame of being defeated by their opponents in their proudest and most familiar way!

They thought that among the young Bobcats, Yi Jianlian, who penetrated many insiders in the league, would stand up. After all, he was the most likely "X" factor in terms of personal performance and big heart, so They also carefully prepared a trap for Yi Jianlian, just waiting for him to step in and then their Pistons will accept the victory of this game.

However, no one thought that the thin guy, who looked like a soy sauce guy in the Bobcats' starting lineup, could kill them in a way that no one could even imagine, challenging the Pistons alone. The whole team, this sounds like a joke, but there are indeed people who can do it. The last one who did it was called LeBron James, and the last one was called Tim Duncan. The incomparable James rushed to the front, smashed one tripping rope after another set by the Pistons, and went straight to the basket, but this man named John Jann used a completely different method from the previous two.

He doesn't have the physical condition of Duncan and LeBron, but his dexterity, like a dancing elf, shuttling among the tall piston tough guys, no one can predict what he will do next. , whether he wants to pass the ball or layup, this kind of weird and changeable energy is a headache and helpless offense for everyone in the Pistons. The most uncomfortable thing is that the Pistons may be the team that is most familiar with this kind of player, because their team history The greatest player is now the enhanced version of Jann.

They know very well that a player who has entered this state is almost undefensible. The only way to defeat him is to have a player of the same level or stronger to attack. The more they want to rely on the team's overall defense The harder it is to suppress him, after all, there are flaws everywhere in his eyes, and as long as he sees a flaw, this flaw will become the breakthrough point of this attack.

There is no doubt that after the first game between the Bobcats and the Pistons, Jann became the focus of the United States, not only because Americans like this kind of lone hero game, but also because the boss of the Bobcats is Gao Tian, ​​but Now someone suddenly became the first person among the Bobcats to challenge Gao Tian. Even if it was just a game, it was enough to make all the media feel a little different atmosphere. Bobcats, or Gao Tian, What will happen to their next game?

If there is really someone in the Bobcats who can outperform Gao Tian in a round of the series, is he qualified to be Gao Tian's challenger, or the next core of the Bobcats?

This is very interesting, but at the same time it will also lead to a series of new problems, but it is a bit premature to talk about this now, after all, Zhan En just showed a brilliant performance, if it is not because it is in the In the playoffs and facing the defensive Pistons, no one will pay too much attention to Jann, who only played one game.

Fans who had been paying attention to the Celtics and Cavaliers, the two enemies in the East, began to focus part of their attention on the Bobcats and Pistons series. Originally, everyone thought that this would be a series full of fouls and defenses. game, but many people really did not expect that there would be a player like Zhan En. This really surprised them, so this also invisibly put a lot of pressure on the Bobcats.

"Philip, do we really pay more attention to that Janend in this game?"

The assistant coach of the Pistons is a little worried. He knows that although Sanders has formulated the tactics of this game before the game, he is really worried because the tactics of the Pistons in this game are almost the same as the previous game. In other places, even Jann Sanders, who played well in the last game, didn't pay much attention to it. What he said most was still focusing on Gao Tian's defense.

He has repeated this sentence countless times. They also know how much impact Gao Tian will have on the Pistons' defense, but they still can't figure out why Sanders is in a situation where Gao Tian is obviously in a bad state. Still chose Billups to single-handedly defend Zhan En, and for Gao Tian to continue and resolutely flank at the beginning of the game, isn't this the same as continuing to let Zhan En play singles?

The last game has proved that he has the ability to kill the Pistons, and he did exactly that. It is really unwise to continue to give him the breakthrough environment like the last game, let alone him Even if the players are dissatisfied, the best thing about the Pistons is their discipline. Even if they are dissatisfied, they will not say it directly, and they will continue to do what the head coach asks.

"The starting lineups of both sides in this game still haven't changed at all, and Billups is still defending the matchup. It seems that the Pistons didn't choose to change their defense against Jann because of Jann's sudden explosion in the last game. , It will be interesting, does Sanders believe in the Pistons players or does he think that Jann can't break the Pistons' defense again by himself?"

"This makes people look forward to what kind of way Jann will face the Pistons. Will Stotts use Jann like the last game?"
