The Warriors and the Pistons played a positional battle without impatience, and the two sides only had a 4-point gap, and the outcome was unpredictable.

Kwame? After Brown left the court, the Warriors could no longer implement the "shark slashing tactic".

Jason? Mark Hill just signed a four-year, $20 million contract with the Pistons. However, his playing time has been significantly shortened this season, averaging just 17 minutes per game. Pistons coach Curry's way of employing people is also incomprehensible, since he was given a big contract, why should he be made on the bench, and Makhill is very efficient, but he is too short in the No. 4 position.

The problem for both teams is the same, the lack of an interior line that can attack in the low post. Needless to say, a group of blue-collar Warriors, Pistons Rashid? Wallace doesn't do it now.

Wallace averaged 12 per game last season. 7 points 6. 6 rebounds 1. 8 assists 1. 2 steals 1. The data of 7 blocks, replacing the injured Garnett, was selected as an Eastern Conference All-Star, which shows how scarce the league is to shoot good interior lines. When Wallace retired, it was difficult for the Pistons to retain their position as the Eastern powerhouse.

Zhou Xuan led the half, and Turiaf and Biedrins pulled together to cover on the perimeter. When the Pistons come out inside, they can break through in a dislocation, and if they don't come out, they can shoot. Zhou Xuan passed the ball to Jackson and asked him to block the attack, Zhou Xuan was not as good as Jackson in terms of offensive ability. After the pick-and-roll, Jackson made a 60-degree jumper on the left side and hit before Wallace blocked. 85 to 87.

Curry called another timeout, and the Warriors went on a 16-2 run, which he had called a timeout before, but it still couldn't contain the Warriors' offense.

Thinking that the Warriors are now in a state of incomplete lineup, Margeti and Ellis are injured and resting, Zach? Randolph is about to join, and Curry feels a little discouraged. Originally, the Pistons brought in Iverson in the hope of strengthening the offense and impacting the championship, but they didn't just want to rely on Iverson to pull the box office and vacate the salary next season. Now that they are fighting the remnants of the warriors so hard, how can they attack the championship?

How to strengthen the defense? Curry could only think of one way, and that was to replace Iverson, who was the most obvious defensive weakness on the floor. As long as he stays on the field, Zhou Xuan will keep using his point as a breakthrough. Iverson's misplacement can't prevent anyone on the Warriors' court, and Zhou Xuan belongs to the kind of person who resolutely doesn't shoot when he is in a good position. On the offensive end, Iverson only attacked on his own, which did not help the team.

The Pistons made substitutions, and Iverson sat on the bench depressed, his mood can be imagined.

The Warriors also opted for substitutions, with Turyaf resting and Wright on. Turyaf has already committed five fouls and still needs his defense when it matters most.

The game restarted, the two sides were deadlocked, both began to compress the defense, and the shooting percentage dropped sharply. Without Billups, who is good at shooting three-pointers, the Pistons' outside shooting ability has decreased a lot. The Warriors took Belinelli, and the only substitutes with good shots were Morrow and Watson, so it would be risky to let them play, and it would be risky to defend Hamilton.

Nelson Sr. is not the kind of person who would rather lose than ensure a quick offense, and there were "big bamboo poles" Bradley and Nowitzki in the Mavericks back then, and they also knew how to control the rhythm of positional offense.

The Pistons finally scored, and after blocking the pick-and-roll, Wallace hit a mid-range shot, and immediately the Warriors Jackson misplaced Mark Hill for a jumper to return the color. The scores of the two sides alternated, and the Pistons took a five-point lead, and the Warriors immediately caught up.

One minute after entering the worst minute, the Warriors fell behind 100-102, and the Pistons still had the ball, and the situation was more favorable. Starkey broke through and couldn't make a shot, and the rebound was picked up by Wright and handed to Jackson.

After the dislocation, Zhou Xuan immediately went to the fast attack, Jackson made a long pass to him in the backcourt, Zhou Xuan was Wallace in front of him, he glanced to the left, dribbled the ball under the crotch of his left hand to the right hand, rushed past Wallace by speed, and at the same time pulled the ball and jumped into the basket, and made a quick layup, Wallace is experienced and has no fouls, otherwise he may be beaten to 2+1.

This is Zhou Xuan's personal 8th point, not scoring much, but he handed out 11 assists.

102 to 102.

This ball was Staki's inability to defend after bursting into the basket, giving Zhou Xuan a chance to break quickly, and Stucky played very badly during this time and didn't score a point. Still, Curry didn't have the idea of letting Iverson play, allowing the players to continue to adjust themselves.

With 42 seconds left, Hamilton missed a pull-up jumper and the rebound was won by Biedrins. Entering a critical moment, the Pistons players have lost their vitality.

The veteran Wallace is tired, he has been playing for nearly 40 minutes. Usually veterans strictly limit their playing time to ensure efficiency, and Garnett's playing time has been reduced to 32 minutes. Wallace is getting slower and slower and has become a ticking time bomb on the defensive end. But Curry hasn't made any substitutions yet, and his on-the-spot adaptability is debatable.

Nelson Sr. didn't call a timeout either, as long as they controlled the time, they still had a chance to attack.

Zhou Xuan quickly dribbled through the half and passed to Jackson with 33 seconds left on the clock. Jackson broke through on the screen, Mark Hill switched defenses, and Wallace carried Biedrins under the basket.

If Biedrins can pull in to help his outside teammates cover at this point, he might be able to create an open space where Wallace can't run. But Biedrins is standing on the inside to grab rebounds, lacking enough awareness, and the average ball quotient makes him only a blue-collar worker.

Jackson couldn't get away from Mark Hill and passed to Azubuuk, who missed a jumper with Hamilton's interference and the rebound was picked up by Starkey.

Although the ball didn't go in, the Warriors did a good job of controlling the tempo, and after taking the rebound, the Pistons had 27 offensive time left. 8 seconds, and by the time the Pistons offense is finished, the Warriors have at least a few seconds left to complete an offense.

Starkey takes the ball in the backcourt, his rhythm is much more chaotic than Zhou Xuan, in the case of a draw, if it is an experienced point guard, he will try to use 24 seconds to complete the attack, strive to ensure the success rate, and then leave a few seconds for the opponent to attack, and win after defense.

However, Starkey passed the half at full speed, as if he was going to rush to reincarnate. He broke through without covering on the periphery, leaning on Zhou Xuan with his body to lead inside, until he reached the low post, and Wallace and Mark Hill had just run past half the court.

Zhou Xuan knew that Starkey should want to play this key ball. He also thought of the two most likely ways to attack Starkey, one was to turn to the middle and rely on his height advantage to shoot with one hand, and the other was to use his technique to shake him off the baseline and turn around for a jumper. Because of the lack of strength, the back defense is his weakness, Starkey has no need to rely on skills, and he must not be very sure of turning and jumping, so nine out of nine are turning to the middle.

Zhou Xuan made up his mind.

Starki leaned on Zhou Xuan with his back to him, his right foot was the axis, his left foot took a step to his left side, shook his shoulder slightly, and then turned to the middle and threw it with one hand. He is 196CM tall, coupled with smooth feints, I firmly believe that Zhou Xuan cannot defend this attack, and this is in the low post, using a shooting method that he is also good at.

But after jumping, Starkey found that Zhou Xuan was already in the air!

When Starki made a feint, Zhou Xuan took a step back, not to shake, but to leave himself an acceleration distance that could jump with all his strength, and when Starkey turned around, Zhou Xuan took a step forward and jumped with all his strength.

Starkey is holding the ball with one hand, wanting to change the action to pass, there is no teammate around him to answer, at this moment he panicked, wanted to avoid Zhou Xuan, his body subconsciously wanted to lean back, Zhou Xuan is leaning forward, not waiting for Starkey to jump to the highest point, his right hand pressed on the basketball, and pressed down with all his might!

The basketball was covered, Starkey lost his balance, and sat on the ground with his ass after landing, and Azubuuk, who was returning to defense, picked up the basketball and held it in his arms.

The audience was stunned, and then there were crazy cheers, and at the critical moment, Zhou Xuan, who was regarded as a defensive weakness, actually gave Starkey a big hat, which was his first block since entering the NBA, which was of great significance.

Starkey got up from the ground in embarrassment, and still couldn't believe it, he had to get back to defense quickly, there was no dead ball, and the Pistons couldn't call a timeout.

"It's so handsome." Liu Yang shouted.

"It's so fierce, I thought it was going to be scored." Zheng Bin also shouted.

"Shut up, the last one is attacked." Jia Tao, an international student, shouted.

Old Nelson stood up excitedly, he wasn't going to call a timeout, he completely trusted the players. Azubuke controlled the basketball and passed to Zhou Xuan, who took half the court and passed to Jackson. The final offense was given to the most experienced man on the court, and Jackson now has 19 points, the most for the Warriors.

The players all pulled away, and there were 22 seconds left for the Warriors to attack, which was plenty of time. Jackson can use up the last time to make a big shot.

In the last 5 seconds, Jackson moved, but couldn't shake off Prince, and 4 seconds passed to Azubuke on the left, and Leitra went out to help Azubuuk block Hamilton.

Three seconds later, Azubuk broke through from the left with the ball.

Zhou Xuan's mind was thinking quickly, he knew that Mark Hill would change defenses, and this big forward was very fast and physical, Azubuke was very sad to pass him, and he was not sure of the shot to Wright, and the worst thing was probably the ending of Azubuike's forced jump shot, and it was difficult to guarantee the shooting rate. At this time, Starki's attention was attracted by Azubuuk, and he turned his head to look.

At this glance, Zhou Xuan activated, and shook off Starki from a position close to the bottom corner. Biedrins just pulled out in order to help Azubuk pull out the breakthrough space, and saw Zhou Xuan's movement. He immediately took up his position, covering off the ball to block Starkey who was chasing from behind.

In 2 seconds, Zhou Xuan completely shook off Starki and cut to the basket, Azubuk was already up at this time, and Mark Hill also jumped up, ready to block. Azubuuk's vision was not blocked, and he clearly saw Zhou Xuan who was running. He changed his mind in an instant and threw the ball hard with both hands towards the baseline.

Zhou Xuan caught the basketball steadily, he originally just wanted to run to try his luck, and he didn't expect Azubuk to pass, but Azubuuk saw him.

"I have to throw in!" Zhou Xuan shouted in his heart. He knew that Wallace was next to him and was not thrown away, but he would not be fouled at this time, so he didn't have to worry about jumping up and being seriously injured, and the frontal shot could be blocked.

In 1 second, Zhou Xuan jumped up in one step, took the ball and didn't shoot head-on, the air lever dodged Wallace who jumped up on the side and blocked, glided to the other side of the basket, and threw the ball with his right backhand when he was about to land.

He didn't have time to look back, the final whistle had already sounded, and the basketball fell gently into the basket after hitting the board.

The referee announced that the goal was valid, 104-102, the Oracle Arena was boiling instantly, that is, after the first victory over the Hornets, Zhou Xuan shot again, and the whistle layup killed the Pistons!
