9 July 2003.

The NBA Summer League has officially begun.

Due to time constraints, 6 teams played at the same time in three stadiums.

The Cavaliers' first game was against the NBA giants Detroit Pistons.

The year before, the Pistons had the second-best record in the East.

Last year, the Pistons had the best record in the East.

This year, if history doesn't change, the Pistons will have five Tigers to win the championship.

Speaking of the Pistons, Ye Feng suddenly remembered something.

His NBA template seems to be Richard Hamilton, the "mask man" of the Pistons' Five Tigers, the Pistons' scoring champion.

That's interesting!

The current Pistons already have an offensive core composed of "Mask Man" Richard Hamilton and "Mr Big" (Mr. Big Heart) Chauncey Billups, as well as the defensive core of "Big Ben" Ben Wallace.

"Little Prince" Prince was also drafted by the Pistons in last year's draft.

Just wait for the mid-season trade to "roar" Rasheed Wallace, and the Pistons five Tigers will be alive.

Of course, Hamilton couldn't have come to a low-level game like summer league, but second-year rookie "The Little Prince" Prince appeared.

With 3.3 points + 1.1 rebounds + 0.6 assists in his rookie season, Prince is not yet a little prince later, just a weak sophomore rookie.

In order to keep his job with the Pistons, he applied for the summer league himself.

"Summer League has officially begun!"

Kenny Smith, a gold medal commentator from TNT, said.

"Let's introduce the starters of both teams!"

Smith's partner, Charles Buckley, said.

Hearing Buckley's voice, Ye Feng couldn't help but laugh.

This Barkley, but the topic of the NBA, is also very famous in China, and he is a friend of the Chinese.

The NBA's famous donkey butt kissing incident is dominated by Barkley and Yao Ming.

Pistons starting lineup:

Center: Campbell

Power forward: Melius

Small forward: "The Little Prince" Prince

Shooting guard: Barton

Point guard: Korver

When it was the Cavaliers' turn to start, head assistant coach Stephen Silas stood aside and said, "Jeraney, Thornton, Jason, Lukey, you four starters." ”

All four of them were members of Group A, and it was clear that the victory in the intra-team competition gave them a lot of points.

From this point of view, the starting point guard should be Ye Feng.

The Jelani and the others were already waving towards Ye Feng, and Ye Feng was also moving his body and preparing to play.

However, everyone only heard Stephen say: "The starting point guard, Nixon, and you will be the main attacker, and the tactics will revolve around Nixon." ”

“What？ Coach, you actually let a fool with 4 points and 8 turnovers start and let him take the lead? It's not fair, this position should belong to the leaf! ”

The outspoken Thornton had an outburst at that time.

"Are you not convinced by my decision? Then you can roll back! ”

Stephen said coldly.

“......”

Thornton withered all of a sudden, Stephen was the boss of this team after all, and it was up to him to decide whether everyone went or stayed.

"It's okay, Thornton, fight well. If you play well, I will naturally have a chance to be a substitute. ”

Ye Feng patted Thornton's shoulder and said.

Thornton stood up for him, and he naturally couldn't watch Thornton suffer.

Although he was unhappy, Ye Feng endured it.

If you are not a starter, you are not a starter, as long as you have the opportunity to play, Ye Feng believes that she can always play a result.

"Well, okay! I still like to play with you, you need to hurry up. ”

Thornton also accepted Stephen's arrangement.

But when he looked at Nixon, he was even more upset.

"Boy, your own level should be counted, get off the court early, and change the leaves!"

"What kind of thing are you, Lao Tzu is a player from the NCAA, what are you arrogant about here as a poor African?"

But Nixon is not easy to mess with, not to mention being designated by the coach as the tactical core, how can he be scolded by Thornton.

"Enough, play well!"

Ye Feng persuaded him, if he had infighting and a fight before going on the field, it would really be a joke.

"What are you, worthy of commanding me? Asians, be your cold bench. ”

Unfortunately, Nickerson didn't appreciate it.

At this moment, not only Thornton, but even Jason Capono and the others looked at Nickerson with their eyes changed.

Ye Feng's heart jumped, it's over, this game is going to be yellow.

Honk~

The whistle blew and the game officially began.

Commentators Charles Buckley and Kenny Smith also started the discussion.

"Hey, Kenny, I've got poker, let's play cards." Barkley suggested.

Smith was stunned for 5 seconds before he reacted: "Playing cards? ”

This is an explanation, okay, even if you are not interested, you can't play cards.

"It's not that I want to play cards, it's just that this game is too boring and I don't have any interest at all." Barkley explained.

"Oh."

Smith laughed, he finally understood what Barkley meant.

"Since Charles said so, let's let him analyze the outcome of this game."

“OK。” Barkley naturally agreed, and that was what he meant.

"As we all know, the Pistons are known as the league's No. 1 defensive team, and their core Princes has been playing in this atmosphere for a year, so tonight's Pistons will definitely be defense-oriented."

"As for the Cavaliers, the core should be their second-round pick Jason Capo, but as far as I know, Capono is a spot shooter and doesn't have the ability to attack with the ball. In this way, I doubt the offensive ability of the entire Cavaliers. ”

"A team with defensive expertise meets a team with a weak offense. I can guarantee that neither side will score more than 90 points. Is this kind of competition really interesting? ”

Barkley explained in detail.

"Hey, Charles, in that case, let's take a gamble. I'm betting that one team will score more than 90, can you take it? ”

Smith suggested.

"Of course, I don't dare."

Barkley gladly relented.

"Oh? So confident, don't forget that you only kissed a donkey's butt last season! ”

Smith's expertise is revealed.

"Hey! Kenny, can you please stop mentioning that. Well, whoever loses this time, next time he will wear Victoria's Secret underwear to explain the game. ”

Barkley said bitterly, holding his head.

At this moment, it amused the fans at the scene and in front of the TV, and also attracted everyone's attention.

The game may not be pretty, but if you can see Barkley and Smith wearing underwear to commentate, it will be worth it.

"This is the ability to explain, and it instantly aroused everyone's interest."

Ye Feng looked at the commentary room at the height and sighed.

on the field.

The center forwards of both teams jumped the ball, and Gerani took the lead.

The Cavaliers get their first offense.

But as soon as Luji got the ball, he found that the Pistons guard pounced.

One-on-one man-to-man defence throughout the game.

Oh my God, the Pistons actually had such a high-intensity defensive strategy when they came up.

"Pass the ball to Nexon!"

The head assistant coach yelled from the bench.

Luke hesitated, reluctantly handing the ball to Nickerson.

"Look at me, rookie!"

Nixon, however, was in high spirits and launched an attack with the ball in his hands.

A breakthrough, smoothly hit the basket, forced a layup.

Syllable!

However, a large hand suddenly appeared and fanned the ball straight away.

"Rookie, welcome to the NBA!"

Prince said with the big finger he had just blocked pointing at Nickson.

Simple one-on-one defense? How is it possible, the Pistons are the most defensive team in the league.

And this scene has also become a microcosm of the whole game.
