Last season, Billups finally got rid of the "parallel scout" name at the Pistons, hitting six hits. In addition, Billups also leads the league in the statistics of goals scored in the final two minutes to equalize or give the team the lead. This earned him the nickname "Mr Big-Shot".

On the offensive end, Billups has an unpretentious style of play, is good at shooting three-pointers and back-to-back shots, has a high ball quotient, is very steady, and although the statistics are not eye-catching, he can be regarded as a first-class guard.

Defensively, Billups has weaknesses and he's a good and bad player defensively.

He defends very well against heavy guards such as Kidd and Payton, and is not afraid of misalignment when encountering pick-and-rolls, and can also fight against swing people. But when it comes to short point guards, he generally can't defend and is easy to get rid of by opponents, because he is not fast enough, and his lateral movement is even a little slow.

During his time with the Timberwolves, the coach often had Billups play shooting guard, and at the Pistons, sometimes the guard was given to Hamilton.

During the timeout, TNT's two commentators predicted how many points Guo Xu would score in this game, and Barkley was optimistic about him for 50+10 in a row.

Smith is more concerned about how many three-pointers he can shoot and whether he will break the record.

"Jason started with three in the opening game today, and he is currently averaging six three-pointers per game, far more than all-time records, and as long as he keeps his attendance and can maintain an average of five three-pointers per game at the end of the regular season, he will become the first player in NBA history to shoot 300 or even more three-pointers in a single season."

Barkley laughed: "Jason has no competition in three-point stats at the moment, others are far from shooting 300, and the coach will not arrange for them to shoot freely from the outside." The Suns are different, and Jason can play however he wants. ”

The timeout ended and the game continued with no substitutions on either side.

Billups hit a pick-and-roll, then hit the ground and passed to the baseline, and Prince cut to catch the ball and scored on the basketball. 12 to 4.

The Suns attacked, Billups and Guo Xu kept their distance, ready to bypass the cover at any time, Guo Xu controlled the ball with his right hand in the half, stretched out two fingers with his left hand, and clenched his fist again, giving his teammates a code.

Xiao Si didn't pull out to cover again, and went to the right side to stand low to attract the defense, Bale went to the bottom right corner, Marion and Joe Johnson pulled away on the left side, and Guo Xu had a lot of space to hold the ball and go heads-up.

Guo Xu dribbled under the crotch and failed to pass Billups, brought to the right side to the horn position, stopped the right hand behind the back to dribble to the left hand, and after retreating, he held the ball in his left hand and approached with his right hand, and Billups also stopped and took a step forward.

Billups has kept up twice in a row, and the pace is already remarkable when he is underdog, and the defensive awareness is outstanding. But Guo Xu's retreat this time was still a feint, and after "worshipping Buddha", he changed direction to the right side and got rid of it by speed, and hit the basket at 45 degrees.

Ben Wallace made up the defense, Guo Xu gave the ball to Xiao Si at close range, and the latter took off in one step and scored with one hand, 14-4.

The Pistons' slow positional battles, constantly looking for misalignments and open opportunities, Hamilton interspersed with running, and Bale was not a vegetarian, and he did not hesitate to run along.

Before the game, the Suns coaching staff focused on telling Bale to follow up and strive to "exchange" with Hamilton. It doesn't matter if Bell is tired, there's Josh Howard off the bench to replace. If Hamilton is off the court, the Pistons' outside strength will drop.

Running out of 24 seconds, the ball was passed back into the hands of Billups, who got rid of it on the left side with an off-ball screen, and forced a layup in the face of Marion's defense, which is not the way he is good at scoring, and he plays with interference.

Joe Johnson grabbed the rebound and passed to Guo Xu, and there was a misalignment on the court.

Guo Xu singled Ben Wallace, and Xiao Si who was fast down formed a 2 to 1, he glanced at Xiao Si in the run, changed direction and passed Big Ben, just took a step and was pulled and sent to the free throw line.

Players have many skills on the court, and the most important thing for a point guard is speed, and Guo Xu's current speed of changing direction in front of the body is often confusing, even if it is Daben.

Driven by the staff, the fans on the sidelines shouted "MVP" neatly to cheer for Guo Xu!

Guo Xu made two free throws steadily, 16-4, and scored his 11th point.

The Pistons attacked, Hamilton received the ball by covering the run, and was blocked by the flank Joe Johnson, Marion picked up the ball and launched a counterattack, and the Suns three went down quickly.

Guo Xu held the ball and looked at Joe Johnson without passing, suddenly accelerated and hit Billups, hit a high board layup to avoid the block, and the ball bounced out of the frame.

Billups picked up the rebound and immediately launched a counterattack, and Campbell relied on his height advantage to force a layup against Marion and caused a foul.

The home fans began to boo loudly again, and the fans under the basket waved glow sticks to distract their opponents, Campbell missed both free throws, and Marion grabbed the defensive rebound.

Most fans generally believe that an athlete's performance is unlikely to be affected by external factors, whether positive or negative. The fact is that although professional players have super strong bodies, most of them are no different from ordinary people in their hearts, they will be nervous, they will be afraid, and they will be affected by off-field factors.

That's why almost all teams have a higher home win rate than away games, and not just because of the referee's home whistle.

Professional leagues need professional fans. Players will be thrilled to be whipped up waving glow sticks to disrupting their opponents' free throws, the home team shouting wildly after scoring a goal, and high-fives in the tunnel of players.

The sun attacked, Guo Xu started the old routine again, first blocking and dismantling in the middle, and the person who changed the defense finally became a big book.

BIG BEN'S ACTUAL HEIGHT IS ONLY 201CM, HIS UPPER BODY STRENGTH IS GOOD, HE DOES NOT SUFFER FROM THE CARD POSITION, AND HE HAS THE FLEXIBILITY OF AN OUTSIDE PLAYER. He can move beyond the three-point line on the defensive end, and is very useful when blocking pick-and-rolls and switching to the perimeter.

Guo Xu was not in a hurry, changed direction to the middle, and gave the ball to Marion, who ran to the left baseline, who received the ball and threw it, Campbell stood far away and did not cover it, and the ball went in.

18 to 4. Guo Xu's third assist.

He created chances with a simple pass, because Marion is more like an outside lineman than Big Ben, and he is also 201cm tall, and he is clearly out of position when he plays a center like Campbell.

Barkley said: "The Pistons don't make substitutions, Campbell doesn't play on both ends of the floor, I really don't know what Brown values about him." ”

Smith laughed: "Maybe it's age, Brown probably thinks it's more important to let the veterans play to their experience than to help the youngsters realize their talents, and I don't think Milicic is a parallel commodity, he just doesn't have a chance to perform." ”

Brown was named ABA Head Coach of the Year three times in 1973, 1975 and 1976; In 1980 and 1988, he led the team to win the NCAA championship twice; In 2001, he led the 76ers to the NBA Finals; In 2002, he was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame without winning a championship; When these intuitive accolades are piled up in front of people, how to evaluate this coach?

Smith gave the answer implicitly, he thinks that Milicic is not a parallel import, so who is the real parallel import of the Pistons?

The Pistons attacked, Billups blocked and broke through the right side to attract Xiao Si to change defense, and Guo Xu bypassed the pursuit from the inside.

Billups looked like he was going to be trapped, and the ball was given to the middle, but Campbell, who was empty, did not shoot, and chose to hold the ball and take it inside.

Guo Xu didn't follow Billups, and took a step sideways to stand in front of the reasonable collision zone, and Campbell bumped into him when he was about to make a strong layup on the second step. Guo Xu's center of gravity deliberately deviated a little backwards and fell to the ground.

The referee blew the whistle and blew the ball to hit the man, and the ball was awarded to the Suns......
