On the offensive end, the Pistons are certainly flawed.

After all, Big Ben is still that Big Ben, once he leaves the basket and gives him the ball, he doesn't dare to shoot if he doesn't defend.

But the other four were strong enough.

Rashid has an all-round offensive ability, Prince is an excellent set scorer and 3-and-D player, Hamilton is a master of catch-and-shoot with breakthrough and playmaking skills, and Billups is naturally the offensive core of this team.

Looking at Ye Feng on the other side, Billups, who had always been rare to speak, took the initiative to speak: "Ye, tonight, we will win." And from now on, it will always win. ”

After saying that, Billups himself couldn't help but be stunned and laughed.

Once upon a time, Billups had few shortcomings as one of the best playmakers in the East (after coming to the Pistons).

How can an average rookie point guard be compared to him?

In the first preseason game of the season, Billups thought the same thing when he first met Ye Feng.

At that time, how many times did Billups teach Ye Feng to be a man.

rely on his personal ability to entangle Ye Feng and destroy the fast attack of the Knights; On the offensive end, relying on a strong body to eat Ye Feng alone; Disrupt the rhythm of the leaf wind with your own rhythm......

Billups doesn't like to talk trash, but if he does, he will say, "Rookie, welcome to the NBA!" ”

But the second time we met, it was a regular season.

Billups suddenly found that the tricks he used against Ye Feng had become Ye Feng's tricks.

Ye Feng used another trick to return to himself.

At that time, Billups realized that this rookie was not simple.

Physical fitness is average, but the ball quotient is high, adaptable, fast learner, and positive attitude...... It's true, Ye Feng's progress is too great!

Billups was a little surprised, he had never seen a rookie who improved so quickly.

Everyone else uses season by season to improve, but Ye Feng uses game by game to improve.

In that game, Ye Feng beat the Pistons in the last 0.5 seconds, in front of Billups.

This incident planted roots in Billups's heart, the root of revenge.

However, in the next two games, the Pistons not only did not succeed in revenge, but lost even worse.

This also made Billups's thoughts of revenge deeper and deeper, so much so that he couldn't help but say those words just now.

......

Ye Feng didn't speak, he didn't like to pretend to be like Bird, and then realize the bullshit he blow.

What Ye Feng likes is that after defeating others, he will use reality to fight others.

Also, Ye Feng felt a lot of pressure tonight, and it was difficult to win.

Therefore, Ye Feng was extremely serious and did not intend to give Billups the slightest chance.

Billups felt the pressure of defending on his face, and immediately understood Ye Feng's thoughts in his heart.

With a slight smile, Billups passed the ball away.

That's where Billups is great.

If it is another star, when facing conflicts, they will rise to the challenge, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, and they prefer to go to the tiger mountains. Even if it feels difficult, try it.

But Billups, at all times, will be extremely calm, judge the most reasonable way to play, and then do it.

And now, the Pistons' biggest advantage on the offensive end is Rashid.

Rashid pulls directly to the outside, whether it is facing Ilgoskas or Boozer, he has an absolute advantage.

At this time, you can see Rashid as Odom, who has the ability to threaten three times, can pass, penetrate, and shoot, and there are few people who can defend against such an all-round power forward.

Boozer defended and the defensive attitude was not bad.

During this time, the Cavaliers were in a state of momentum, winning one after another, the team's morale was excellent, and the players' defensive attitude naturally improved greatly.

However, in terms of height, Boozer still suffered.

Rashid holds his hands high and makes a shooting pose.

Whether it's a feint or a real shot, Boozer has to guard against it.

Because if you don't guard against it, Rashid can fake the real thing, and at the end of the fake action, it becomes a real shot.

And with this defense, Boozer immediately lost the opportunity.

Rashid flickered, then put it down in an instant, and broke through.

Eric Williams on one side can only make up for it.

And that allowed Rashid to find a new hole, a bad-looking but very used ground-hitting pass that Prince received in the open space.

Ilgoskas pounced.

Prince then played the ball to Big Ben, who was open on the inside.

This time, there is no one to make up for it.

Big Ben naturally won't be polite, and he will burst out directly, slamming dunk with both hands.

Syllable!

4：0。

And on the offensive end, James forced another shot to miss.

In this way, the first quarter was played to the end, and at 27:18, the Pistons led by 9 points in a single quarter.

In the second quarter, 26:13, he won 13 points in a single quarter.

At 53:31, the Cavaliers scored only 31 points at halftime, trailing by a full 22 points.

"Appalling! This Pistons' defense is too perverted. Even in the era of the Bad Boy Army, the Pistons were just hooligans and played fiercely, but the defense was definitely not that strong. ”

"I think this Pistons team is the best defensive team in NBA history."

"31 points in the half, 62 points in the whole game. It's not a big deal to force your opponent to score to this extent, but it's unimaginable to do it for 8 games in a row! ”

At halftime, the fans, commentators, and media were saying these things among themselves.

It's not against the Cavaliers, but it's true, the Pistons' defense is a little too strong.

The morale of the Cavaliers was a little low, and everyone's faces were not good-looking.

In any case, 31 points at halftime is a shame for an offensive team like the Cavaliers.

Although Ye Feng also felt uncomfortable, he could still bear it in his heart, after all, Ye Feng had long known how high the ceiling of this piston Five Tigers would be.

Suffice it to say, the Pistons seized the times.

The 2003-2004 season was arguably the most ferocious year in NBA history, with the league's average points per game and shooting percentage being extremely low.

And the Pistons defense is based on the trend of history, which can be said to follow the trend of history.

On the inside, the two Wallaces complement each other, with a strong body, maneuverability and flexibility, and can also assist the outside line.

On the outside, Billups, Hamilton, and Prince are all very strong in defense and cooperative.

Billups in the No. 1 position has the body in the No. 2 position, Hamilton in the No. 2 position has the body in the No. 3 position, Prince in the No. 3 position is not too much of a loss in the No. 4 position, and Rashid in the No. 4 position is the height of the No. 5 position

In addition to the center position, the Pistons have improved each position by one level compared to other teams, and physical toughness naturally brings toughness on the defensive end.

Moreover, as a traverser, looking at this piston team from the perspective of the future, Ye Feng can see more.
