was "stolen" by Yi Feng for a goal, and Drummond was resentful.

If Yi Feng forced a layup head-on, it would have been forgotten, but he "insidiously" deceived himself with a feint!

Drummond's two big hands slapped the basketball, and the muffled sound of "bang" startled Reggie Jackson, who came to receive the baseline serve.

Is this guy trying to destroy public property?

Jackson's face couldn't help but climb a few black lines.

Offense and defense are out of position.

The Pistons pressed the whole team, and the Lakers made a regional joint defense "2-3" formation.

Scott's "2-3" zone defense is to strengthen the defensive ability under the basket and protect the backcourt rebounds.

He put Hibbert, Randall, and the super-mobile Yi Feng in the low position, with Hibbert and Randall defending against Drummond and Yi Feng waiting for an opportunity to help defend the block.

Of course, if Drummond passes the ball to a teammate who is open on the outside, he will also have to test Yifeng to make up for it.

is so desperate to call Yi Feng, Scott is also helpless.

Unfortunately, the team's interior line is too weak!

At first, I thought that Hibbert was taking advantage of a second-round draft pick, but I found out that it was not the case when I used it. Now Hibbert may still have that draft pick.

The Pistons' offense is still the main offense under the basket.

Despite Hibbert's efforts, he could not resist Drummond.

With defeat and retreat, Drummond was almost under the basket.

Randle hurriedly surrounded him, and the head coach ordered him not to dunk easily, even if he couldn't stop it, he had to block it!

Drummond turned halfway and found that the road ahead was blocked.

At this time, it was impossible to stop, he couldn't control his body anymore.

So he didn't care about it, and ran straight into Randall.

Beep beep -

The referee's whistle blew.

Randle was awarded a defensive blocking foul.

Although he stood outside of the reasonable collision zone, he did not have a clean foot, and when he had a physical slash with Drummond, he did not stand on his feet.

Since the Lakers had not yet accumulated fouls to the point where they could make free throws, the Pistons were given the right to serve one out-of-bounds.

The Pistons' offense is business as usual.

But this time, Hibbert didn't do it.

He knew that he was defending from behind, and he would definitely not be able to withstand Drummond. So he chose to defend around the front.

Forward defense is a defensive technique in basketball that interferes with the opponent's reception in the low post in advance, and is mainly used to defend interior players with very strong individual ability.

Defending around the front is suitable for defenders who are nimble, physically coordinated, and explosive, and at the same time is a devastating way to defend defenders who are slow moving, have rough technique, and have a low basketball IQ.

There are advantages to defending around the front, but the disadvantages are equally fatal. Choosing to go around the front means that you give up the protection of the backcourt rebound. If you don't break the opponent's pass, then your defender receives the ball and faces an empty basket.

And choosing to defend around the front means that your skills are not as good as others, and there is no other way than to kill the enemy with one move and lose eight hundred by yourself.

Therefore, many players would rather choose to be blown up than choose to defend around the front.

Such an admission that they are a rookie choice will make them feel very embarrassed.

However, Hibbert resolutely chose to go around the front to defend.

From last season's All-Star to this season's "Gao Yuanyuan", who knows how much pressure Hibbert has undergone?

Everyone's eyes were on Yi Feng, and he seemed to have become the center of the whole world. Hibbert, who stayed by Yi Feng's side to play, inexplicably received more attention and was under greater pressure from public opinion.

He has even been dubbed "the fastest degenerate man in NBA history".

Hibbert, who is taller, opted to go around the front, making it much harder for the Pistons players to pass the ball to Drummond.

It's a pity that Hibbert now doesn't have the footsteps and explosiveness he once had, and Drummond's movement is not as sluggish as his big outward.

Reggie Jackson dropped the ball high and still passed it to Drummond.

As a result, Hibbert's defense around the front failed.

Fortunately, Randle made up for it in time, so that Drummond did not have a chance to dunk directly.

Randle's height is not enough on the inside, but his strength does not suffer. Although Drummond is the Hercules of the basket, his power is more reflected on the defensive end.

Facing Randle, who was much shorter than him, Drummond pressed Randle's layup hard, and actually came out of the basket!

Drummond, who was unhappy, quickly bounced up for the second time, and pressed Randle to make a rebound.

Drummond's offense, the real most threatening is his secondary offense, either a rebound or a dunk.

This is due to his keen rebounding sense, strong positioning ability, and secondary bounce ability that is extremely inconsistent with his bear-like body.

So a lot of the time, he has more rebounding stats than scoring stats in a game. The name of the rebounding machine is not in vain.

After Drummond scored a layup, the score was rewritten to 11:5, and the Lakers still fell behind at home.

The Lakers attacked, and after Yi Feng broke through Pope, he made a pull-up jump shot, rewriting the score to 11:7 and helping the team to bite the score.

However, looking back, the Lakers' interior defense is still the same, and Drummond is still able to wreak havoc on the inside. Hibbert's circle didn't work, and after receiving the ball, Drummond hit Randle and dunked!

At 13:7, the score looked a little anxious, but the situation was not like this.

Of the Pistons' total of 13 points, Drummond alone contributed 10 points! And Yi Feng took care of all the Lakers' scores.

The two teams had the same number of offensive rounds, but the Pistons scored more points than the Lakers because they were more efficient offensively under the basket, and the whole situation seemed to be completely controlled by the Pistons.

It looks like Pistons head coach Stan Van Gundy's strategy of showing his ace from the start has succeeded, and the Lakers have really eaten their hand.

Randall was the first to get irritable.

He ran directly to the outside to ask Clarkson for the ball, and his eyes were about to breathe fire, and Clarkson didn't dare not give it.

Ulson Iyasova is a typical European player with good fundamentals and a high basketball IQ. But there are also many shortcomings in the corresponding, the most obvious is that their physical fitness is not comparable to that of the black and hard Yankees.

As the saying goes, life is like a play, and it all depends on acting skills.

It's the same with playing in the NBA, without excellent acting skills, many European players don't dare to land in the NBA.

Among a group of acting masters, the most typical representative is Anderson Vallejo, who is known as the "Brazilian actor". His fake fall performance is simply brilliant and fascinating.

Ulson Iyasova also watched "The Self-cultivation of Actors" in private and practiced good acting skills. And he loves to use his brain, and he doesn't want those heads to be black and hard with muscles.

Randall's impatience was so impatient that Iasova couldn't see it.

He taught the fledgling Randle a lesson, and at the same time took away the tuition, an offensive foul!

Offensive foul!

Randall was a little confused, holding the ball and pointing at himself, and pointing at Iyasova, who fell to the ground with a painful expression. His lips trembled, and he was excited but speechless.

The referee was selfless and unmoved, insisting on his decision.

One defensive foul, one offensive foul, Randle picked up two fouls in the first quarter, and Scott had to take him off the court and replace him with Larry Nance Jr.

With a defensive foul on Drummond and an offensive foul on Iyasova, the Pistons' interior made Randle suffer in just half a quarter.

And Hibbert is also uncomfortable, he has always been against Drummond, and he has been hit by Drummond many times.

The gap between the internal strength of the two teams is really obvious.

And Xiao Nansi, who has just been replaced, is only a rookie, and he is powerless to change the situation of the battle.

For the first four or five decades of the NBA, it was always the world of interior players. Even now, it is the one who has the inside line who has the world, and he who controls the rebound controls the game.

And in terms of offense, the further you go to the basket, the higher the shooting percentage. This is also the reason why interior players have a higher shooting percentage than outside players.

It's just that super centers are scarce these days, and talented outside players are gushing out. As a result, the outside players gradually control the court, while the inside players can only passively become more and more functional.

A player like Drummond can rank at the top of the big guys, or even the best of the best, in today's era when good interior lines are scarce. However, the only things he can really call good are rebounding and defense.

Offensive ability, except for the secondary offense brought by rebounding ability, is not worth mentioning. Especially the shooting ability, it's just bad.

But it's such a Drummond that the Lakers can't do anything about it.

Their inner line is short and short, thin and thin, slow and slow, and tender and tender, and they are simply powerless to compete with Drummond. Hibbert, who was in the fifth position, was blown up today.

For most of the first quarter, it was Drummond who acted on the inside, and the Lakers' interior became a powerful passerby and trick to foil him.

In the last minute of the first quarter, the two sides switched to the bench.

With Nick Young's buzzer-beating shot deflected wide of the basket, the first quarter ended with the Lakers trailing by five points at home at 28-23.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the two teams continued to send their bench lineups on the court.

Louis Williams burst out and scored eight straight points in three minutes to lead the team to overtake the score.

When the main lineups of both sides returned in the second quarter, the Lakers temporarily led by two points at 38:26.

The Lakers, on their side, did not let Hibbert continue to play. Replacing Hibbert as the No. 5 spot is Brandon Buss.

The height difference between Brandon Bass and Drummond is more than 10 centimeters. But these two people have to be opposed!

Seeing Scott's line-up, the fans at the Staples Center Arena thought he was crazy.

The on-site commentator had a discussion about the lineup sent by Scott. They agreed that Scott was a dumb move.

Brandon Buss is a short inside lineman, plays hard, and has a fierce and iron-blooded feel.

But will he be able to keep Drummond at bay?

Many fans have such questions in their hearts, and they are a little apprehensive to watch the game go on.

Scott stood on the sidelines, holding his hands on his chest, extremely calm and confident.

Through the observation of the time of the first quarter, coupled with the information collected by the team, Scott already had an idea of how to deal with Drummond.

In the first quarter, Drummond was fierce under the basket, almost calling the wind and rain. However, that's just the appearance.

On the defensive end, his performance was impeccable, and his rebounding ability was perfect.

Of these two things, Scott has no way to limit Drummond for the time being.

But on the offensive end, Drummond showed flaws. Then he scored 14 points in a single quarter, but he was just a paper tiger!

Scott found that Drummond's offensive skills could simply be described as rough. In previous games, he rarely took the initiative to attack with the ball to avoid this defect.

His shooting ability is even worse, and his free throw shooting percentage last season was only 38.9%!

Outrageously low!

This is simply not the shooting ability that a professional basketball player should have!

So as soon as he left the box, Drummond's threat plummeted.

And judging from the fact that he scored 14 points in the first quarter, it was only because the Lakers' interior defense was too poor.

Because Drummond is such a trick back and forth, and he eats hard inside for a long time, and there is no technical content at all.

Of those 14 points, 10 were scored by him through a layup or dunk, and on one occasion he was lucky enough to score a stumbling hook. The last two points were scored in six free throws.

Therefore, Scott's solution is simple, which is to use a short and stout interior player like Brandon Buss to kill Drummond's bottom line and prevent him from taking a step into the box.

In this way, the exertion of his abilities can be suppressed to the greatest extent. Zhuang Shen, who is far away from the forbidden area, is not terrible.

The game continues.

The Pistons' offense is still the same old routine, allowing Drummond to single inside.

The Lakers, on the other hand, let Brandon Buss defend Drummond alone.

Stan Van Gundy, who watched this scene, thought to himself, Byron Scott is so confident in his arrangement?

After Drummond got the ball, he turned his head to look at Buzz, who was defending him, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, this ball is there!

With 14 points in the first quarter, Drummond was already happy that he might be able to set his own personal scoring record at the Staples Center tonight!

It's nice to have such a great stadium to witness your record.

Drummond's heart was filled with joy, and the dribble began to dig in.

However, the force coming from behind him surprised him a little.

Bass, a short inside line, has a lower center of gravity than the average inside line, and the lower plate is more stable, and he can stand on the pile. Compared to "Gao Yuanyuan" Hibbert, who was easily "pushed down", Bass's defense against Drummond was obviously better.

Drummond is an offensive rough guy, and his long-lasting skills are not good, and the back and forth in singles is a back-to-back shot. Now he can't push Bass, he panicked in his heart, and he didn't dare to turn around, for fear that he wouldn't be able to control the ball.

This is a clear lack of confidence in their own offense.

Even if he has exploded by 14 points in the first quarter, even if he still thinks that he will break his scoring record tonight.

IN TERMS OF HEIGHT, BASS IS 203CM, WHILE DRUMMOND IS 213CM; In terms of weight, Bath is 113 kilograms and Drummond is 127 kilograms. Drummond's physical advantage is too great.

But because of his rough offensive skills, he can't fully exploit his physical strengths.

Just like a strong basketball beginner who can't even dribble steadily, how can he break through a gray-bearded old man?

What's more, this uncle may also be called Uncle Drew, who is pretending to be a master. (To be continued.) )
