Chapter 106: Rebounding scramble
Drummond was mentally prepared and that didn't mean that after the timeout, he continued to play Brandon Buss in singles, this time without success, and continued next time until the singles were successful.
If he does, then Stan Van Gundy's timeout won't make any sense.
He was freed from the pressure of the team's main point of attack and returned to the role he is most accustomed to.
Since Greg Monroe left Detroit, Drummond seems to have been freed from a lot of shackles this season, and he has become more relaxed and more engaged in the game.
The fact that he won the Eastern Conference Player of the Week two weeks before the start of the season is the best proof of this.
Monroe left Milwaukee to sign a three-year, $50 million contract with the Bucks. The former Piston Twin Towers were left with only Drummond alone.
In this way, Drummond's data explosion also seems normal.
Even, now he is not only a tactical core, but also a team leader.
However, although he is a leader, he is subject to his personal ability. A lot of times he's not the end point of the team's offensive tactics. So he rarely takes the ball from the team's offense.
This is the kind of teammate that many stars like and want to work with.
The timeout ends and the game continues.
The score was 44-36, and the Pistons were currently behind.
The Pistons took the lead in attacking.
Reggie Jackson holds the ball at the top of the arc and faces Clarkson's defense.
Jackson was drafted by the Thunder with the 24th pick in 2011 and began his NBA career.
He's an excellent two-way guard who can get lethal on his first move, get away from defenders with easy access to a change of direction, and score on layups even against extremely tough defenses.
It's a pity that there is Russell Westbrook in the Thunder, and Jackson can only be a backup for Westbrook.
His style of play is somewhat similar to Westbrook's, and he is nicknamed the poor man's version of Westbrook. But his ambitions don't stop there, and earlier this year, after learning that he was traded to the Pistons by the Thunder, he wrote on Twitter: "I shed tears of joy. ”
Because Jackson is confident in his abilities, it's a pity that the Thunder can't give him a stage to play.
In the 50 games he played in the Thunder last season, he averaged 28 minutes per game, but he was able to deliver 12.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 0.8 steals.
After being traded to the Pistons, he started all the remaining 27 games last season, averaging 32.2 minutes per game, averaging 17.6 points, 9.2 assists and 4.6 rebounds per game!
Last season, Chris Paul's average per game stats were: 34.8 minutes per game, contributing 19.1 points, 10.2 assists and 4.6 rebounds.
After Jackson came to the Pistons last season, his stats were about the same as those of St. Paul, the league's top point guard!
Although the data cannot fully represent the individual ability of the player, it is absolutely impossible to brush up the outstanding data without ability. It can be seen that Jackson's ability is indeed very strong.
No wonder after leaving the thunder that could not survive, he would "shed tears of joy".
He came to the Pistons, not only because he had more playing time, but also because he became the tactical core and had more balls.
You have to have the ball in your hand to get the data.
Reggie Jackson, who already seems to have the demeanor of a star, is also indifferent in the face of Clarkson's active defense as a sophomore rookie.
Dribble the ball with your right hand and make gestures with your left hand to direct your teammates to run.
After seeing Jackson's gesture, the Pistons began to move.
Ulson-Iyasova mentioned asking for the ball in the high post, and Jackson made an upward pass feint that tricked Clarkson into reaching out to intercept it, and then Jackson hit the ball to Iyasova.
After the pass, Jackson took Clarkson away, and it looked like the Pistons were ready to let Iasova single.
But how could the Pistons' tactics be singles all the time?
Yi Feng felt a little strange.
Then he noticed that Pope, who he was marking, was starting to run aggressively and wanted to get rid of him as a defender.
Yi Feng immediately raised his vigilance and chased after Pop closely.
But Pope, a guy who eats by his hands, is not bad at running skills. He seemed to be brainless and pierced into the pile of people on the inside, but some of them slipped out like a swimming fish.
And if that's all, the more flexible and fast Yifeng can definitely keep up with it.
But Drummond got in the way.
As soon as his teammate Pope passed by him, he immediately shifted his position to block the chasing Yi Feng from behind.
Pope took the opportunity to run to the bottom left corner, opening his hand for the ball as he ran.
At this time, Iasova, who seemed to be playing alone with the ball in a high position, was actually a high position response point.
At this time, Bryant and Marcus Morris were on the other side, and Clarkson was also taken to the side by Jackson, who was able to make up for Brandon Buss, who was only entangled with Drummond in the penalty area.
Buzz may not be tall, but as an interior lineman, he is not known for his speed of movement.
When Iyasova passed the ball into the hands of Pope, who was standing just outside the three-point line in the corner, he was still more than two meters away from Pope.
In the end, Pope made a quick shot and Buss was able to interfere with minimal interference.
Fortunately, perhaps because Pope didn't touch the ball for a long time and didn't feel like it was throwing, the ball he threw didn't hit.
The basketball bounces out of the hoop.
And the only people who are competing for rebounds under the basket are Yi Feng and Drummond.
Yi Feng was blocked by Drummond, allowing Pop to slip into the bottom corner and get an open shot.
Although he bypassed Drummond, it was too late, and Pope had already made a three-point shot.
Where there is a shot, there is a possibility of a rebound!
Yi Feng subconsciously stuck in position, ready to compete for possible rebounds.
As he bypassed Drummond, he stumbled to a better rebounding position.
But the tonnage and static strength of the two are too different, and as soon as Drummond exerts his strength, Yi Feng is pushed and slid down to the basket.
At this time, Yi Feng really can't take root under his feet!
Pope's three-pointer exploded, and the rebound bounced to Yi Feng and Drummond.
Rub -
The two jumped at the same time, and they also touched the basketball at the same time!
Both of them just pointed to the ball with their fingers and did not fully control the ball. The orange basketball was spotted high into the air.
After the two of them landed, they instantly bounced up again, almost reaching the same starting height as just now!
It's the same time to touch the ball again!
Once again, the basketball was taken off.
The third jump after landing!
Yi Feng's squat this time was more serious and he had a longer accumulation, although he jumped a little later than Drummond, but after the jump, he instantly surpassed Drummond and got the ball faster than him!
Yi Feng was overjoyed, turned the ball to his side, and quickly controlled the ball after landing.
There was some joy on his face, although the rebound was difficult to grab, but in the end it fell into his hands! (To be continued.) )
