Chapter 148: Fight the Pistons Again
"Citizens of Motor City, do you miss your Sir Charles?"
Coincidentally, it was Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith who served as the live commentators today.
As soon as the game began, Barkley had an incredibly narcissistic opening statement.
"I think people will miss pork chops more than flying pigs."
Smith smiled.
Barkley is not angry, after all, the two have a big mouth, and the other is their usual mode of commentary.
"Kenny, let's talk about what this game is going to look like today."
Barkley asked.
"Of course, it's still up to the Cavaliers to score in the end, and I think a lot of fans should buy chips for the spinach station. Personally, I don't think it's hard for the Cavaliers to score 65 points, 75 points is almost impossible. In the preseason, didn't the Cavaliers score 79 points in the first game against the Pistons? That was after the Pistons released a full quarter and a half. ”
"Charles, what do you think?"
Kenny asked with a smile.
"I'm afraid I don't want to comment so early!"
Barkley hesitated for a moment, then said suddenly.
"Huh? What do you mean? ”
Smith asked, puzzled, that this was not a pre-game scenario for the two.
"Because I think the Cavaliers are likely to play beyond everyone's expectations."
Barkley replied.
"You mean the Cavaliers can't even score 65 points? Charles, I know there is a big gap between the two teams, but it's too much of an exaggeration to not get 65 points. In the last game against the Hornets, the Cavaliers were in such poor shape that they scored 68 points. ”
Smith thought it was Barkley who was very unfavorable to the Cavaliers.
"Nope! Kenny, on the contrary, I don't think the Cavaliers will be frozen, but I think the Cavaliers will get far more points than the last game! ”
Barkley spoke astonishingly.
Smith directly shook the head, in fact, not only him, almost all fans misunderstood what Barkley meant.
After all, in most people's minds, the Cavaliers will be pressed to the ground by the pistons.
To win, that's impossible, it's all about how many points you can score.
This statement of Barkley is amazing!
"Then let's wait and see."
Smith didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only watch the game first.
In the jump ball session, Big Ben had the advantage, and the Pistons got the opportunity to attack first.
This is not an amazing thing, after all, Big Ben's bullet speed is super fast, even if he and Yao Ming jump balls are equal, it is not difficult to win big.
Billups advanced with the ball, and when he got to the frontcourt, the Pistons immediately put the whole team in position.
Campbell was stuck under the basket with tonnage, Prince dropped to the corner three-point line, Big Ben was hovering on either side of the paint, and Hamilton was pulling the Cavaliers' defensive lineup with his runs.
Billups stands alone at the top of the arc, leading the whole situation and controlling the situation.
Using the back-to-back covers of Big Ben and Prince, Hamilton managed to get rid of Davis, and Billups's pass was immediately on point, and he was able to catch the ball and shoot, which was Hamilton's forte.
Swish!
Hit a mid-range shot, 2-0, and Hamilton opened the scoring for the Pistons.
Offense and defense switched, and Ye Feng advanced with the ball.
When I got to the front, I began to observe the situation.
Prince defended Davis, Hamilton followed Capono, and the two were basically targeted.
Big Ben defends James, the two are about the same height, and their physical fitness is top-notch. In terms of strength, James is very strong, but in front of Big Ben, he is a slightly stronger child.
"Everyone knows that I am born with divine powers, and no one is convinced. But when I met Marlon and Big Ben, I still had to retreat. Big Ben's strength is so strong that even O'Neal can resist it, and the current James is simply not enough to see in front of him. ”
Barkley said something about James' vulnerability.
And it's just a physical gap, as a four-time best defensive player, Big Ben is not only physical, but also experienced and technical.
James walked outside the three-point line and tried to pull Big Ben out, but Big Ben was unmoved. Knowing James' three-point shooting percentage, Big Ben directly put James outside.
Shoot threes? Feel free to do so!
As for James wanting to rush to the basket, Big Ben blocked directly in front of him, like a city wall, firmly defending against the invaders. Fighting for power, speed, and bounce? Big Ben is not afraid.
At this moment, Ye Feng suddenly felt that the defensive intensity of the Pistons was even stronger than in the preseason, and it was not the same at all.
But fortunately, the Cavaliers still have Ilgoskas, and Ye Feng passed the ball directly to Ilgoskas.
Big is still very dominant, playing big Ben has an inexplicable height, and playing Campbell has footsteps.
Turning in a row, after deceiving Campbell to the basket, he directly hooked sideways.
Swish!
The hook hand was also hit, and the score was tied 2:2.
It was the Pistons' turn to attack again, and it was the same routine, with the whole team covering for Hamilton.
Davis still can't keep up with Hamilton, and James can only come out to make up for it.
But even if James was very quick to cover Hamilton's eyes, Hamilton still sent a two-point shot to the basket.
Swish!
James shook his head helplessly, Hamilton tonight is a little unstoppable.
4:2。
The Cavaliers attacked, James was still looked at by Big Ben very deadly, Ye Feng still sent the ball to Big Hand, and he was not convinced, and relied on his footsteps to hit Campbell again.
4:4。
In the first 3 minutes, the two teams were tied 8-8, and all the points came from Yamato Hamilton, and these 3 minutes became a performance moment for the two.
"The Cavaliers exceeded everyone's expectations tonight!"
"Nope! The game has just begun, and Larry Brown won't be happy with the team's interior defense. ”
Barkley and Smith discussed.
As soon as he finished speaking, Larry Brown called a timeout.
Replace Campbell and bring on Oku, the same pace as in preseason.
But on the Cavaliers' side, there is no Boozer and no Darius, which is very embarrassing.
But Paul adjusted.
Replacing Capono, under the Pistons' defensive system, Capono has no chance at all, and it is useless to stay on the court.
Replace Meme, put James on the perimeter, let him keep an eye on Hamilton, and can't let Hamilton play like this anymore.
However, just after the change, Hamilton hit a three-pointer in front of James.
The score became 11-8, and Hamilton alone took all of the Pistons' scores.
What's more serious is that this guy has averaged less than one three-point shot per game this season, but he made a three-pointer at the beginning of this game and scored.
"This guy feels too hot tonight!"
"More than 3 minutes and 11 minutes, which translates to 48 minutes, is uh, it's still not counted, it's too much! What the hell is Hamilton trying to do tonight? ”
Barkley was shocked.
"James, defend, a little tougher, a little tighter!"
Paul shouted loudly from the sidelines, no way, you can't count on Davis, you can only rely on James.
