Chapter 151: Heads-up upgrade
The game continues, and the Pistons attack.
Billups singled Ye Feng, or used his body to force the shot after eating.
But this time, Billups ran out of luck on the first two occasions and missed shots.
"It seems that Billups feels really bad today, except for the first two good luck, and now he is not lucky."
Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
The Cavaliers attacked, and Paul began to arrange for James to organize.
After all, James organized, Ye Feng could rely on three-point shots to pull away the defense; Ye Feng organized, James's positioning is a little embarrassing, and he is helpless without the ability to shoot in the middle and long range.
And Hamilton didn't make a shot for two minutes, which also allowed James to relax a little more on the defensive end and put more energy into the offensive end.
This is a strategy to maximize the Knight's attack power.
As soon as James got the ball, Prince pressed up, Big Ben and Hamilton were also on guard at any time, at least three people were paying attention to James, and there was no one else in this "treatment".
However, although Prince's defense is good, it is still difficult to defend James.
Prince can rely on his 206 cm height and anti-sky arm span to interfere with James' shooting, but he can't stop James' breakthrough and passing.
After all, James in his rookie season was more than 111 kilograms, which was 13 kilograms heavier than Prince, who was 98 kilograms, and it was completely two physiques.
Ferociously smashing inside, disrupting the Pistons' defensive formation, and then passing the ball out, this is James' favorite breakaway shot.
Although Big Ben can make up for the defense, once he comes out, Oku can't hold the basket a little.
James passed the ball inside at this time, and Big Z could eat Oku alone.
If someone else hits Big Z inside, James can pass it to Ye Feng and Davis again.
The point is, Davis still feels very good today, and coupled with the steady leaf wind, it makes the Pistons miserable.
This is also the reason why the Pistons want to get Rasheed Wallace, one is to enhance the interior offensive ability, and the other is to help Big Ben guard the basket, so that Big Ben can go out to make up for the defense at will. There are not many such all-round power forward leagues, and only Rashid's annual salary does not exceed 10 million, and the Pistons can eat it.
Without Rashid Wallace's Pistons Five Tigers, the defensive system is still not complete.
Davis and Ye Feng fired continuously on the outside, coupled with Big Z wreaking havoc on the inside, which seemed to tear apart the Pistons' defensive system at once.
Billups, on the other hand, didn't have a good hand tonight, except for two dribbles in the opening game, and then missed three consecutive shots.
Eight minutes into the game, the Cavaliers actually overtook the score and led 21:20.
"The Pistons had a problem defending tonight. actually let the Cavaliers score 21 points in 8 minutes, which is completely abnormal! ”
"And Billups didn't feel good, which caused problems for the Pistons' offense."
In short, the Cavaliers are ahead of the Pistons, which is something that no one expected before the game.
Larry Brown called another timeout and scolded the Pistons, but there were no substitutions.
After coming up, it was Hamilton who stepped up again.
Billups didn't feel good, and Hamilton took the flag from his hand. After a change from his previous catch-and-shoot shots, Hamilton suddenly began to break through.
Caught off guard, James was directly fouled twice and was replaced by Paul.
Hamilton hit three of his four free throws to take the Pistons back up.
The game continued, Davis on the Cavaliers' side was the main attacker, Davis felt good, and scored in a row.
On the other side, Hamilton, who had already scored 14 points, broke through consecutive points to help his teammates score and continue to maintain the lead.
"Hamilton is crazy tonight! It felt like a different person. ”
That's right, at the end of the first quarter, Hamilton scored 14 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists, almost single-handedly supporting the Pistons' offense.
When Billups didn't play well, Hamilton stepped up and took over the attack.
At the end of the first quarter, at 32:28, both teams played super high scores.
On the Cavaliers' side, James didn't even shoot and only had 4 assists, Davis had 10 points, Ilgoskas had 6 points, Ye Feng had 7 points, and Mime had 5 points.
Both sides scored high and the game was exciting, but the fans were in an uproar.
"Is this still the Detroit Pistons?"
You must know that starting with Isaiah Thomas's Bad Boy Army, the Pistons have dominated the East with a tough defense.
Back then, they almost demolished Jordan, the god of basketball, and abolished Big Bird Bird.
When Isaiah Thomas was healthy, they overwhelmed the two NBA legends.
One Bill Lambier defense made the whole league tremble.
(Ranbir is the dirtiest player in NBA history, and Bird doesn't dare to go to the basket when he sees Ranbir standing inside.) When he retired, many players in the league threw parties to celebrate the villain's departure. Isaiah Thomas, the team boss, said the whole team had to listen to him alone, a white man, in the locker room. The unruly Rodman was beaten by Ranbier, and he became Ranbier's apprentice, grabbing rebounds and faking falls were all taught by Ranbier. Bird and the Magician did not dare to resist him, and only Barkley dared to fight him. According to statistics from a reporter from the United States, Ranbier has maliciously attacked as many as 257 players in his career, and the key is that after the attack, Ranbier looked calm, like a nobody. Isaiah Thomas is the boss of the team, and Ranbier is the king of Detroit! )
In recent years, the Pistons have limited opponents' average to less than 90 points for several seasons.
But tonight's team, is it still the Pistons?
Before the start of the second quarter, everyone saw Larry Brown standing on the bench and roaring, scolding everyone.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Pistons started the Tigers.
This is also Larry Brown's habit, when he is not satisfied, he likes to the main players to the death and use them to the death.
At the beginning, Hamilton and Billups frequently attacked the inside, causing fouls on Big Z one after another, forcing Paul to replace Big Z.
As soon as Big Z got off the court, the Cavaliers' interior offense was directly destroyed.
And without the lack of interior offense, the outside offense will inevitably be taken care of, and James, Davis and Ye Feng are targeted very badly.
On the contrary, on the Pistons' side, Hamilton was still hot, shooting 4 of 5 in the second quarter, scoring 8 points, and scoring 22 points at halftime.
Billups didn't feel good, but he connected his teammates, and the veteran Campbell was unbeatable under his guidance.
In the second quarter, the score of the two teams was 22-15, and the Pistons showed their defensive system perfectly.
At halftime, the score was 54:43.
"This is the Pistons!"
"James only got 1 shot in the half, and only scored 4 points with 2 free throws, and the Pistons' defense is too strong!"
"The difference in strength between the two teams is too big, and the Pistons have won!"
Many fans sighed.
In the second half, the Pistons continued to perform like this, and the Cavaliers certainly didn't score 85 points, and the fans who bought the bet were very excited to win.
