Chapter 267: Battle Piston

The center of the Pistons is Drummond. He was the ninth rookie to be drafted by the Pistons in the first round in 2012. It is also a rookie that the Pistons have vigorously cultivated. Even in order to train him, Monroe, whose family had been cultivating for three or four years, was sent away.

Of course, this is also normal, after all, Drummond showed a high level of talent in his first season.

201112 season, Drummond averaged 100 points per game while leading the University of Connecticut with 76 rebounds per game, shooting 538 from the field and averaging 27 blocks per game to rank third in the Great East and 14th in the nation. He had 10 double-doubles in the season, ranking second in school history after Jim Calhoun. He was named to the Great East Division Rookie of the Year team, was named to Naismith's preseason watch list and Waymentysdale watch list, was listed as one of the top rookies in the country, and was named the Great East Conference Player of the Week twice this season.

From this series of data, you can see how much potential this lad has as a young man!

All of his progress in his five years with the Pistons has been evident, and his scouting reports have become more detailed as he has played more and more games, he has a great physical advantage, a combination of height strength, mobility, athleticism and explosiveness, and even a soft shooting touch that is not often found in black big men, and he is also a very creative passer.

Together, these are enough to make him a B on the offensive end.

However, he can also use his feet to complete blocks on the defensive end, and he is the best defender in the box.

And three seasons ago, he was ranked first in the league's top 10 center prediction rankings!

Although his final growth was not as good as experts predicted, he completely grew to a higher level than Monroe, which also made the Pistons' decision to abandon Monroe seem so wise.

Jump balls on both sides.

This time López met his nemesis, because Drummond's height is two meters eleven, and he has a better arm span than López, which completely makes up for the difference of two centimeters in height, and there is no disadvantage at all!

So this ball finally fell into the hands of the Pistons, this is the away side of the Bulls, it is the home of the Pistons, the Pistons have the right to attack first, and the scene naturally erupted into a burst of enthusiastic support!

Smith dribbled to the front court and gave the ball to Reggie Jackson.

A big reason why Reggie Jackson was waived by the Thunder in the first place was because he was a two-way guard.

What is a two-way guard, in simple terms, he needs the ball: he can do the work of a point guard as well as a shooting guard.

In that case, there would be a conflict with the Thunder, and the Thunder head coach would not be able to keep two Westbrooks in the backcourt. The consequence of that would only make the other players unable to touch the ball, not to mention that the Thunder still had a Durant presence at that time.

A ball that can't be played is the main reason why Reggie Jackson left the Thunder!

Thunderbolt Jackson is facing LaVine, who has improved a lot defensively lately. Facing the lightning strike, Jackson actually allowed the latter to not take advantage of anything in a short period of time.

This made Li Ming a little surprised,

You must know that Reggie Jackson can be called "the poor man's version of Westbrook" because his style is very similar to the latter. It is also known for its sharp breakthroughs. But such a player could not break through LaVine's defense, which was unthinkable before.

It can be seen how much progress Lavin has made during this time.

On the other hand, it shows that LaVine is not a defensive striker. It's just that he didn't have a proper mentor for a long time in the past. But now Li Ming's help has made him make enough progress on the defensive end.

Jackson wasn't very impulsive, he didn't find space to attack, and passed the ball to Harris.

It can be seen that his mind is clear and he can know when to attack and when to pass.

Harris gets the ball and faces Poundxter. The latter is a 3-defender, and Harris didn't hesitate in the face of him, and the triple threat posture was posed... In the face of 3 defenders, Harris also dared to attack with the ball on his own.

It's a clear indication that he has a lot of confidence in his attacking prowess, and the threat is in place, with no obvious flaws in his movements or pace.

What is an obvious flaw, it can be summed up in a very simple sentence, that is, the action that allows the other party to guess your intention in an instant is a flaw.

Poundxter obviously didn't expect that there would be such an offensive player in such a bad team, and his eyes became sharp, and he didn't dare to underestimate the guy in front of him anymore.

The shoulders are slightly lowered, which is the standard action of lowering the center of gravity, and lowering the center of gravity is also a manifestation of the defender's ability, because only when the center of gravity is low can the balance be maintained, and the action can be made at any time, even if the attacker's amplitude is large to a certain extent.

Then Pounddexter will not be easily shaken out of his defensive position because of his low center of gravity.

An attacker and a defender, both of each taking a pose that surprised the opponent. , I feel that the other party is not good at stubble. However, Harris didn't pass the ball like Reggie Jackson did, because the 24-second offensive time was almost up, and if he passed the ball again, the next teammate would have it. It doesn't necessarily have such a clear offensive idea as he has, so let her attack on her own!

There was a feint to the left, but Poundexter didn't eat it, and Harris made another feint to the right.

Poundixter still didn't move.

But what the latter didn't expect was that this feint suddenly turned out to be real.

Harris directly shook off Pound Dexter with an arrow step, and the latter did not react this time, and directly scored two points inside!

made a good start for the Pistons, and the audience at the scene also gave Harris extremely strong cheers.

Then it was the Bulls' turn to attack, and Li Ming dribbled to the front court to face Smith. An undrafted pick like him can climb back from the precipice of losing a chance because of a serious and responsible professional attitude.

And the only place where this attitude usually manifests itself is on the defensive.

All the undrafted drafts have become famous by virtue of defense, such as Uncle Bao, who was once famous for being dirty, and became famous by defense as a draft loser.

But not all undrafted picks can be cheeky and do it like Uncle Bao. The reason why Uncle Bao has only one is that he is dirty and cheeky. Uncle Bao has only one.

Smith can't be him, but his defense is really good! Li Ming took a step forward, he took a step back, it was not far from control, it was just right!
