Chapter 263: Point Guard Wade

O'Neill's injuries are not serious, they are all external injuries, and the wounds will heal in a week at most, but for the sake of safety, Hu Qingniu still announced that O'Neill would take a truce for two weeks, and this lazy worm can't ask for it anyway.

The Bobcats, who defeated the Lakers, set off for Motor City non-stop, where another battle awaited them.

Neither Larry Brown nor the rest of the Pistons had a say in the spotlight battle. If it was just after the Pistons won the championship, Larry Brown would be willing to talk about Hu Qingniu, a powerful junior. But Larry Brown lost the Olympic gold medal in a conversation with Hu Qingniu in the summer, and now he can no longer comment on him as an elder.

Fans gave the biggest pot for the U.S. men's basketball team losing the Olympic gold medal to Larry Brown, Iverson and Marbury, and at this time it was self-inflicted humiliation for him to say anything, and the best result was to explain to the media after the victory over the Bobcats. If the Pistons can still beat the Bobcats, then fans won't think that Larry Brown is worse than Hu Qingniu, but that it's something within the U.S. lineup.

Oct. 31, Detroit Pistons, Auburn Hills Palace Arena.

The Bobcats are still familiar with this, having been playing the playoffs a few months ago. Fans here are clearly unwelcoming of the Bobcats, who are the Pistons' biggest rivals in the East this season.

At the beginning of the game, Larry Brown didn't get up and came to the technical table to shake hands with him, and Hu Qingniu didn't want to be bored.

O'Neal came to Detroit with the team, because Detroit is also his enemy, and now the scene is a triangular feud, which is really a story of grievances.

Although both arms under the suit are bandaged, O'Neill still sits on the bench and faces the camera. He had just made a big news, and it was the time when he was popular with the camera.

The game begins.

Due to O'Neal's injury, Howard deservedly took the starting position, starting in the second game of his career, which seemed like nothing for the champion. But Howard is on the Bobcats, and he has O'Neal, Sabonis, and Dazhi as three All-Star centers or above. The media's prediction is that he will play as a substitute for one year this season.

Now Dazhi is stable in the No. 4 position, O'Neill is injured, and Sabonis and Hu Qingniu have clearly communicated with him. He said he had no objection to any arrangement, and that he would do everything in his power to help the Bobcats win the championship and would retire after this season. But he doesn't want to return to Lithuania anymore, he wants to stay in Charlotte and join the Bobcats management like Malone and Payton after retiring.

In this way, the Bobcats' starters are, Howard, Dazhi, Josh, Bell, Wade. This lineup is a far cry from last season's Bobcats.

On the other side, the Pistons' lineup is unchanged, Big Ben, Rashid, Anthony, Hamilton, Billups.

Howard and Big Ben jumped the ball, easily got the ball, and really faced Big Ben, Howard may still be a little immature, but in terms of the talent of jumping the ball, Big Ben is not Howard's opponent no matter how tall he is 5 centimeters. Howard was able to jump up and kiss the basket before Hu Qingniu saw him, and after training with the Bobcats Devils this summer, his physical fitness has improved slightly, and even Hu Qingniu can't estimate how high he can jump.

Winning the ball, Wade controlled the tempo at the top of the arc. His position was shifted to point guard, and while his main task was to score, he was getting used to things like controlling the tempo.

Facing Billups, who was one smaller than himself, Wade suddenly jumped high and threw a cannonball-like long flick directly to Dazhi in the bottom corner.

Dazhi was already familiar with Rashid in the face of Rashid, ran out to catch the ball, and decisively tried to shoot a three-point shot, the effect was not bad, and he got the team's first point, 3:0.

Not only at the top of the arc, Wade also tried to do the axis on the inside, singled the opponent's small point guard with his back, in the Bobcats, the most important thing is to guide the big guy on the back, Wade trained with Dazhi and Howard, and stole a lot of low-post singles skills, and some of the steps were used more smoothly than Dazhi, the worst was of course Howard, this guy practiced a move for an afternoon, and forgot it all the next day.

Sitting in the low post can also create enough opportunities for the outside players.

Wade dribbled with his back a few times and moved his ass not far from the basket. Just in time to catch Big Ben's attention, Wade suddenly threw the ball up from under Billups' armpit, and Howard dunked the ball into the basket from the sky.

When Howard and Wade practiced together, they didn't learn the footsteps, but they were self-taught when they caught the ball, and he could put the ball in the basket no matter how Wade threw it or when he threw it.

Wade's hands played very well, Hu Qingniu nodded with satisfaction, this is the feeling that a leader should have on the field, take care of other teammates at the beginning of the game, and after the other teammates open, the whole team will be full of power, and then harvest the game by himself at the last critical moment, that is the perfect leader.

Wade's performance isn't over yet.

After Wade received a pass from his teammates at the top of the arc, he easily passed the defender with an acceleration and tore the defense, Wade hit the basket strongly, and the Pistons immediately surrounded the three of them. This is the old routine of the Pistons last season, Wade is very familiar with it, and he was ready for it, jumping up and splitting the ball, and it was Dazhi in the bottom corner.

Rashid couldn't catch up and could only look at the ball and sigh, Dazhi made a slight adjustment and easily opened his hand to hit a three-point shot.

At this time, the score came to 8:0, and Wade had not yet made a shot.

Larry Brown was dumbfounded, reporters were dumbfounded, and fans were dumbfounded.

The most incredible is Anthony, who met Wade in the playoffs a few months ago, and the opponent is just the same attacker as him, and they are not much different in offensive firepower. But now that it's only been a few months, Wade is already in control on the court, and while he is still positioned as an attacker himself, he can also play a defensive role with ease, and his role with the Pistons is an important but only a small part of the team. Anthony felt like he was just a building block for the team, and Wade's feeling of controlling the team in his hands made Anthony secretly surprised.

Larry Brown quickly called a timeout, though his mind went blank, and his pre-game setup was all in vain as the Bobcats were two teams from last season. What put Wade to break through, break through into the inside line and then pinch the attack, Wade's opening three consecutive assists told him that these strategies are all outdated.

The timeout was only 60 seconds, but Larry Brown didn't know what he could say, but the team started the game down 0-8 and he had to call this timeout because he was Larry Brown and that's his character.

After thinking about it for 20 seconds, the players and Larry Brown looked at each other, and in the end, Larry Brown only said something encouraging to the player and stared at Wade.

After an unnutritious conversation, the game began in a hurry.
