Chapter 267: The Great Z of the Prophet
This is Big Ben, no matter how silent he is off the field, once he is on the field, he is a passionate player.
Ilgoskas here is slightly worse, too gentle on and off the field, which is also the character of most white players.
Syllable!
It's a pity that the height gap is there, and Big Ben still hasn't won against Ilgoskas in the jump ball.
Big Z's big palm rolled back, and the ball entered the Cavaliers' formation.
Ye Feng caught the ball, stabilized it, and began to advance.
While advancing, Ye Feng observed the lineup of the Pistons, thinking about the difference between the five tigers of this piston and the previous four tigers.
Why is it that just one more Rasheed Wallace will make a qualitative change in this team?
Needless to say, Rasheed Wallace's ability is that before coming to the Pistons, he was selected as an All-Star and known as an all-around power forward.
On the offensive end, he can hit the three-point line from under the basket. Able to play baskets, can organize, can break through, can shoot from a distance......
Defensively, he can move from the inside to the outside. Big defense small, hard resistance center, anti-blocking and dismantling, supplementary defense, and co-defense......
Rashid is even more versatile than Garnett, after all, Garnett can't carry a big center, and his three-point shot is not so accurate.
As for the shortcomings, it may be that Rashid is so versatile that he can do everything, but none of them have reached the point of reaching the top, and he is always one level below the highest level.
Of course, even if it's one level lower, it's still higher than the league average.
The addition of Rashid gives the Pistons more options on the offensive end and fewer holes on the defensive end.
But Ye Feng still didn't feel that this was all the changes he brought.
There must be some change that Ye Feng can't see, maybe it's the legendary chemical reaction.
Before Rashid arrived, Big Ben's position was unclear, swinging between the center and power forward positions.
But now, the Pistons have a lineup in place, with Rashid playing power forward and Big Ben playing center.
The 206-centimeter center of the book looks a little inappropriate, but it works very well.
When it comes to real defense, Big Ben is a big forward and defends Boozer. Rashid is deployed as a big center forward to defend Ilgoskas.
As soon as Big Z landed, he immediately began to ask for the ball.
As a gentle, reserved person, Big Z rarely does this.
But as soon as he met the piston, he was a little excited and excited, perhaps because of the collision and friction that had happened here before.
Ilgoskas singled Rashid, and the two weighed about the same, Rashid was 104 kilograms, and Big Z was 108 kilograms. In terms of height, Ilgoskas is a full 10 centimeters taller than Rashid at 211 centimeters.
Seriously, Ilgoskas should have an advantage.
But he pushed it a few times, but he didn't push Rashid.
Rashid is very light, but he looks strong, and in fact the strength is also very good, and he is very stable in the lower game.
It's a bit like Duncan, maybe it's the legendary weight of bones.
And precisely, the weakest thing in Ilgoskas is the lower handicap, and his excessively high height makes his lower set very unstable and his strength is very insufficient.
So, by strength, Ilgoskas has no advantage.
Big Z also seems to have expected it, and it was just a test to top it twice just now.
As soon as you find that you can't move, you immediately change your thinking and rely on your steps to find opportunities.
As a European center, the basic skills of Big Z are still in place, not to mention the level of Big Dream, but it is also decent.
But after continuous walking, I found that I couldn't get rid of Rashid at all.
Rashid is very flexible, coupled with extremely rich defensive experience and accurate judgment, Big Z's pace can't find a chance.
Failing two times in a row with common sense, Big Z was a little anxious, seeing that time was passing, the rest of the Pistons shrank over, and they could only force their shots by relying on their height.
However, due to Rashid's interference, the ball bounced out of the frame and did not go in.
Bang!
Big Ben grabbed the rebound, switched offense and defense, and Billups quickly attacked with the ball.
Just because the Pistons have a strong defense doesn't mean they're weak offensively, and although they have fewer offensive rounds per game, their defense turns to offense extremely fast.
Previously, there were also veteran big center Campbell and European interior Oku to drag the rhythm.
Now, the Pistons Five Tigers pushed to the Cavaliers' half court in an instant, catching the Cavaliers off guard.
Billups passes to Rashid, who then passes to Prince, who goes straight to the basket and scores an easy layup.
2:0。
The Cavaliers, who grabbed the ball for the first time, conceded two points first.
The whole Cavaliers team was a little confused.
"Seriously, the responsibility for the goal is on Ilgoskas. He's been on the ball for too long, and he's not actually as offensive as he thought he would be. ”
Kenny Smith explained.
"That's right, in the past, Big Z had an advantage, playing Big Ben had absolute height, and Campbell had a foot advantage. But for Rashid, the advantage of Big Z is small. ”
Rarely, Barkley agrees with Smith.
Of course, Ye Feng also realized this, Rashid made up for the biggest loophole of the Pistons, that is, he couldn't prevent the shortcomings of the big center.
In fact, when there was no Rashid, the Pistons' interior line was exploded by O'Neal, Yao Ming, and Big Z.
But after Rashid came, O'Neal, Yao Ming, and Big Z were never so comfortable again, at least they were greatly restricted.
You eat Rashid alone, and the big instinct assists in defense.
You can eat a lot of money alone, and Rashid can help defend it.
After all, the double Wallace's ability to supplement and defend is extremely good.
After that, the Cavaliers also tried to get Ilgoskas to play Big Ben again, but as soon as Rashid leaned here, Ilgoskas's offensive point was immediately strangled.
Seeing this, Ye Feng no longer admits death and fights on the inside, but finds a way to break through from the outside.
This ball, Ye Feng handed it to James, and then organized others to pull it apart and give James space to play alone.
As soon as James got the ball, Prince immediately pounced like a big octopus.
It has to be said that the Pistons have a tradition of training defense.
Prince, the former "little prince", is also very tough on the offensive end.
The Pistons have only been in for less than two seasons, and the offensive end is basically only fixed-point shooting, and other offensive capabilities have been fully degraded.
But defensively, Prince has grown.
With a height of 206 centimeters, an ultra-long arm span, fast movement speed, and an aggressive defensive attitude, he has become a defensive elite for the Pistons, and his defensive ability is significantly higher than that of Hamilton and Billups.
This season, those super small forwards in the league, in addition to being afraid of Artest, are most afraid of Prince.
When they saw these two people, everyone's faces changed greatly.
But James is James, and what sets him apart from the rest of the league's small forwards is his inexplicable body.
He's not afraid of Artest's brutal aggressive defense, nor is he afraid of Prince's octopus-style sticky defense.
Prince alone really can't stand James.
However, the Pistons' defense does not rely on one person, but on a system of five people.
There are harassments from Billups and Hamilton on the outside, and Big Ben and Rashid on the inside, who are good at big and small.
James rushed to the basket, but was forced by the Pistons' team to completely deform his whole movement, and he could only rely on his physical fitness to force his shot.
Bang!
Unfortunately, James didn't have that much luck tonight and couldn't score that goal.
Immediately, the piston defense turned to attack.
This time, the Cavaliers were prepared and didn't let the Pistons play into a fast break.
Seeing this, the old Billups immediately stopped and stabilized his rhythm.
