After some tentative opening kicks, both sides were very well prepared before the game and could not easily break through the defensive line. Pistons head coach Michael? Curry specially arranged the defense of Zhou Xuan, changed the defense and resolutely blocked his first step, and then compressed the defense, which made Zhou Xuan have no chance to shoot easily.

In the last game against the Timberwolves, his ability to block and pull up the jump shot was vividly displayed, and Curry believes that preventing him from shooting is the key to whether the Pistons can win. Whenever Zhou Xuan scored and assisted a double, the Warriors played very hard and lost one game.

This did make Zhou Xuan a little uncomfortable, he rarely held the ball to score after the start of the new season, and handed the ball to his teammates to play after misplaced. In China, he is mainly offensive with the ball, but the NBA's defensive intensity is completely different, and he has to bear more psychological pressure, the opponent's interior line is tall and fast, and the other people's running rotation speed is much faster, in contrast, not to mention China's high school games, even the CBA is a standing pile style of play.

The Pistons have a very good rhythm on the defensive end, constantly switching between 23 and 32 defenses, if Zhou Xuan is not outstanding, they will defend the periphery, and leave a Kwamei on the inside? Brown grabbed rebounds and blocks.

The Pistons Ken gave Kwame an 8 million contract, and the second year was still a player option, which was to fancy his defense. Kwamei has good physical hardware, very good awareness on the defensive end, is not afraid of confrontation, and his speed is not slow, 1 to 1 can blow him up in the low position, there are few in the league, and they are all types with very solid basic skills.

The offense didn't develop because of Kwame's mentality, and it was a mistake for him to get into the league too early. Kwame's tragedy is also partly due to Jordan, who as the team's management, has little patience for rookies and is too demanding, and the curse of being handpicked by Jordan has always plagued him. In fact, if he had been selected around the tenth pick that year and went to a team that was interested in rebuilding with peace of mind, he would have been better than he is now. For example, playing next to a leader like Duncan, if you have a good big brother, it may be completely different.

In short, he is a kind muscular man who plays hard just to support his younger siblings and make his mother less hard.

A high school student with poor psychological quality who also entered the league too early in order to make money.

A person who was hand-picked by the god of basketball and heard people say all day long: "God can't be wrong, you must be the right champion".

When he was on the same team as Jordan, who was getting older and more perverted, he had a wrist injury, and sometimes he was scolded as a gay person if he couldn't catch the ball steadily.

Later, he was finally traded, and he ran into a Kobe Bryant who even stuck out his tongue and bit his collar to imitate Jordan.

It is impossible to estimate how much psychological pressure Kwamei has endured along the way, and it is normal to become a parallel product.

On the defensive end, Kwame was not watery at all, and Biedrins was stuck by him and couldn't get in the three-second zone, and he couldn't grab rebounds in the frontcourt. It was rare to attack in the low post, turned around and hit the board with one hand, and was slapped down by a big hat from Brown. Don't look at the rough brother Biedrins mixed with a big contract, the low-level one-on-one is really not an opponent for the parallel top player.

The Pistons' offense was very patient, almost all of them were positional advancement, and this offensive rhythm made Iverson very uncomfortable. His specialty is fast-moving singles. In this way, he can't play it, the ball is passed back and forth, and he only shoots after many blocks, and the success rate of other players is not low.

Hamilton scored 8 points in the first quarter, shooting 4-of-6 from the field, and the mid-range shot was textbook-like. Houston is another mid-pitcher after that.

Rashid? Wallace vs. Brandon? Wright also had the upper hand, hitting a three-pointer after a mismatch to score seven points, and halfway through the first quarter, the Warriors replaced him with Turyaf in order to better defend him.

The Warriors ended the first quarter with a 24-25 deficit.

The Pistons' defense is really good, and the obvious defensive weakness is Iverson, who often suppressed opponents to score less than 80 points, which was quite a scary thing. This year, their interior defense is still excellent, but not on the outside. As long as Hamilton and Iverson play together, there will be holes.

In the second quarter, the two sides made substitutions. Warriors Jackson continues to stay on the court with a bench, and now that the Warriors don't have that many people available, he can only suffer if he wants to win. Outside with CJ Watson and Anthony? Moreau. The inside line is a combination of Turyaf and Wright.

The Pistons sent Jason, a black strong man, on the side? Mark Hill, Amir? Johnson and Prince continued to stay on the court to lead the bench play, on the one hand, also to limit Jackson. Aaron on the outside? Rodney with Afflaro and the coaching staff? Starkey.

The Warriors' bench was quickly suppressed, and it was still an old problem, and the offense was not well organized.

The Pistons, who played a small lineup, continued to defend in the zone. The Warriors were too dead in every position, and Jackson used a playful style of playmaking at the top of the arc to break the Pistons' compression defense. Jackson missed three consecutive shots, and Morrow, who shot the most accurate from the outside, couldn't get an open opportunity, and Afflalo followed very closely. The two people on the inside line are basically decorations, and they can only block and dismantle.

The Pistons' offensive focus is also on the outside, Afralo first relied on the cover to run back, hit a three-pointer from the outside, Starkey broke through after three consecutive misalignments, scored two layups, caused a foul on Turiaf, and hit both free throws. Johnson also threw in the mid-range shot. The Pistons bench players are thriving.

The Warriors had only Watson score two points and were sent on an 11-2 run, and Nelson Sr. was forced to make an early substitution, replacing Morrow with Azubuike, who was better defensive, to strengthen the Stucky defense.

Starkey's quality is amazing, not only is he 196CM tall, but he is also strong and fast, he can always form a lot of defensive pressure on the ball, which annoys the opposing point guard. What Curry is looking forward to, he's already starting with Starkey and Hamilton off the bench. But doing so would undoubtedly hurt Hamilton's self-esteem.

It's all because of Iverson, and without him, Curry wouldn't have had a headache. When Iverson came, he had to start and make changes on the defensive end for him.

In fact, the Pistons will not be interested in this big deal, at least intuitively, no one agrees. Wallace bluntly said that he was reluctant to give up Billups, a teammate who has been fighting for many years, and Hamilton did not want Iverson to join, he just got a contract extension this year, and his average points per game are close to 20, thinking that there is no shortage of scoring points in the team, and there is no need for Iverson to grab points every game. The departure of McDyce has made the Pistons' bench bench less defensive, and he is the team's spiritual leader. Now that Iverson, not to mention the spiritual leader, the atmosphere in the locker room has become awkward.

Starkey has also been criticized for wearing the number 3 jersey. It is important to know that Iverson has been wearing the No. 3 jersey since his debut, which seems to have become a symbol of "answer". The league rules that players like Starkey who have not been traded are not allowed to change their jersey numbers for the new season, even if they want to. However, many fans don't know what to say, and they have questioned Starki's character, which is really wronged.

Five minutes later, the Warriors started one after another, and the Pistons also sent Iverson on their side. Although he didn't play well today, he still had to use it, and Hamilton continued to sit on the sidelines to rest.

That's when the Pistons' offense went wrong again. Is it a single or a teamwork? Is it a pick-and-roll offense, or a combination of inside and outside? Starkey is also not a good playmaker, and what he likes to do is rely on interior players to cover breakthroughs, and Iverson is no different.

With the two on the field together, Starkey was destined to miss the ball. And his shooting is not very sure, he doesn't shoot well, and his performance from beyond the three-point line is even worse. Then he can only run in a confused position on the outside, and even if he cuts in, the ball can't be passed in his hand.

The combination of inside and outside is also not good. Wallace's offensive approach at his peak was recognized, but now he is too old to retire after a few years of play, and his lower body strength does not allow him to score high points in the low post, let alone attract the dominance of the bag. After receiving the ball inside, the Warriors will not send someone to cover him, so let him and Biedrins go head-to-head. Last season, his points per game average dropped to 12. 7 points, and the shooting percentage is only 43. 2%。 Judging from the data, his low-level containment is not much stronger than Yi Jianlian.

The Warriors' tight perimeter defense paid off. On the offensive end, the players began to speed up their running, and Zhou Xuan, who was back on the court, cooperated with Wright in blocking and dismantling, constantly relying on misplacement to find offensive opportunities, although the shooting rate was not high, but it could still guarantee the goal and slowly catch up with the score.

What makes Iverson angry is that no matter how he attacks, Zhou Xuan will pass the ball to the person who is out of place with him, and he will attack from him as a breakthrough. Starkey came on the court to be responsible for the organization, and Zhou Xuan also continued to follow Iverson and mix defense.

Back in the 2001 Finals, the Lakers substituted Tyrone? Lew is known for defending Iverson, he is not afraid of the defense of big players, he can rely on speed to break through, but hates the interference and entanglement of small players. Zhou Xuan is doing this, constantly interfering with Iverson without the ball, and he is inseparable.

Starkey's playmaking ability is not comparable to Iverson's, and he can only rely on his teammates' mid-range shots to improve his assist statistics. He soon made a mistake when he cut the ball to Iverson, and Zhou Xuan directly cut off the basketball to play a fast break, assisting Azubuke to score a layup.

After that, Starkey chose the safest approach, giving Iverson less passes, passing through the half-court to the inside, to Prince, or to attack. The Pistons' offense was a different from the first half of the second quarter, which is why they lost recently, the offense lacked coherence and couldn't take advantage of the opponent's shortcomings.

Playing like the Jazz, there is a set of tactics from beginning to end of the season - blocking and attacking the offense! Okula went to the perimeter to empty the inside, Delon and Boozer attacked, and most of the team was beaten by them. In the second quarter, the Warriors were in trouble, and Starkey suddenly stopped making a layup or attacking himself after a pick-and-roll, and let Iverson play the No. 2 position again.

Even Iverson is difficult to ensure efficiency when no one is blocking and dismantling. So far, he has singled Zhou Xuan four times, but he has not been able to break through, and only hit a difficult turning and jumping shot.

At halftime, 49-48, the Warriors took the lead again.
