Chapter 111: The Bison Who Shocked the Alliance

Halfway point jumps, Herb Williams loses to Bison Dele.

Pistons head coach Collins saw Herb on the court and felt it was a big gift from heaven and immediately made a gesture.

Lynch Hunt did as the coach requested, passed the ball to Grant Hill, Hill dropped the ball to the inside line, and Bison Dele held the ball and singled.

Bison Dele is not actually called Bison Dele now, but Brian Williams. In his previous life, he changed his name to Bisson Deleux in 98, which probably translates to "the bison is gone". According to his own explanation, the name change was "Bison Disappears" to show his respect for Native American and African ancestry.

This kind of name change is very common in the United States, in the 80s, some people in the NBA changed the name to "World Freedom", and Artest, who is familiar to Chinese fans, also changed its name to World, Charity, Peace, and later came to play in China, and he also changed his name to Friends of Panda.

"Bison", who was born at the University of Arizona, has solid interior offensive skills and good rebounding ability, but was trapped by injuries early in his career and failed to play much, and later came to the Nuggets and helped the Nuggets complete the first black eight in NBA history.

In that series, he played only 20 minutes per game as a bench, but he could grab 7.8 rebounds and shoot 65% from the field.

Next, Bison Dele started for a year with the Clippers, and then because he wanted a big contract and no one gave him, he lost his job for most of the 96-97 season, until the Bulls Rodman was suspended, and the aging Langley couldn't hold the inside, so he came to the line of fire to save the game.

After helping the Bulls win a championship, the Pistons gave him a big contract, and he is currently on the team only on the basis of Jordan's successor, Grant Hill.

In this era, Jordan has many successors, and the most vocal ones are Grant Hill and Penny Hardaway. Among them, Hill is the most popular, graduated from Duke University, won two NCAA championships in college, scored, rebounded, and assisted, and was personable and impeccable.

Penny Hardaway is a flirtatious, smart, and likewise fandom, Maddie idolizes him and has been imitating his way of playing, and chose the No. 1 jersey because of him. Jordan once said, "If I had to pick a successor, Hardaway would be my first choice!" ”

With Grant Hill, Bison Dele, and a rock-solid veteran guard and former FMVP Joe Dumas, the Pistons are strong on paper.

But Bison Dele is good at everything, not at all, he has depression and lacks enthusiasm to play. He prefers music to basketball and travels more adventurously.

In his previous life, in 99, he suddenly decided to retire, which shocked the fans. You must know that at that time, the big contract he signed still had $36.45 million in hand!

More than 30 million salaries, if you don't want it, just ask if you're afraid!

Later, Larry Sanders, a self-proclaimed artist, painter, and musician, must have been inspired by him!

Of course, Bison Dele is much more famous than Saunders, and it was the incident after his retirement that was really shocking.

It was in his previous life, in 2002, that he bought a ship and named it "Hakula Matata", a name derived from the Lion King, which means "nothing to worry about".

Bison Dele felt that he could achieve his dream, enjoy the sea, enjoy adventure and travel.

With his beloved saxophone, violin and trumpet, with his beautiful girlfriend Sarana Karan, he hired the experienced captain Bertrand Serdu, and invited his brother Kevin Williams, Bison Dele and his "Don't worry about anything" to set sail!

The dream is ahead!

And thenβ€”

On July 20, the ship arrived in Tahiti, South Pacific, with only Bison Dele's brother Kevin Williams left on board!

Everyone else is missing!

The FBI believes that Kevin Williams killed Bison Dele and the rest of the crew because of bullet holes in the ship, but they have no other evidence.

Only Kevin Williams himself knows the truth!

On September 27, 2002, Kevin Williams called his mother and claimed that he would never hurt his brother and would not go to jail.

Then he committed suicide.

At this point, the Hakula Matata, the ship carrying the dream of Bison Dele, that is, the "Don't worry about anything", no one else has to worry anymore, because all the crew members are gone!

Although Bison Dele had retired by then, such a horrific tragedy still shocked the entire NBA. This man who is different and has been chasing his dreams all his life has also left the fans with the most special memories in the most special way.

Rest in peace, Bison Dele!

Of course, now Bison Dele has not pursued his dream or shocked the whole league, but has played for the Pistons and is the team's main center, second only to the big man Grant Hill.

After receiving Hill's pass, Dele immediately used his skillful back hitting skills to eat Herb Williams!

The old Herb blew his beard and glared, squeezing Dele to death, but he was still pushed back step by step!

Seeing this, Garnett hurried over to help defend him. But Bison Dele would give the Knicks a chance to wrap up, squeeze under the basket and turn around and shoot the ball.

At the moment when Bison Dele shot, Herb Williams elbowed the opponent fiercely, and the referee didn't see it!

"Dang!"

The ball didn't go in, and Oakley collected the defensive rebound!

"Whew!" Herb Williams let out a sigh of relief.

This round, it can barely be regarded as a defensive success!

Knicks offense.

In today's game, Li Wei didn't make too many arrangements, six of the eight rotation tactics are the team's basic tactics, and only two are derivative tactics.

There's no way, the time is too tight, most of yesterday's training was to prepare for the game against the Pacers, and the Pistons really can't take care of it.

Ward passes the ball to Houston and the other three run playfully. After everyone had no chance, the first phase of the tactic failed, and Garnett went around the cover, received the ball as the central axis, and continued to organize the second phase of the attack.

This process is one of the Knicks' 32 basic offensive tactics this season, numbered 11.

Next, Ward will go to the basket and be double-screened by Oakley and Herb before cutting out, which is the first offensive option.

After covering Ward, Herb would immediately go to the other side and cover Houston, who was the second offensive option.

Herb went straight to the basket after two screens and was the third offensive option.

However, instead of passing the ball to Ward or Houston, Garnett threw it to Oakley, the last option!

Li Wei saw this pass next to him and nodded secretly.

The Pistons had two days off before beating the Knicks, so there was plenty of time to make arrangements. The Knicks' routine, they have countermeasures, the first and second choices are very defended by them, and even Herb Williams, who went straight to the basket, was closely watched by Ratliffe!

Only on Oakley's side, there is a slight gap due to Bison Dele's over-care of the Knicks' first choice, Ward!

And so Garnett's ball arrived!

"It's a good pass, Oakley has a good chance!" Mike Brin said.

"Garnett has taken on a playmaking role with the Knicks this year, and it was a little rough at first, but now he's getting used to it," Fraser said. ”

In fact, although they realized that Garnett's pass was good, they didn't realize how good the pass was.

The average player is good to be able to pay attention to the first and second offensive options when running tactics, and even if the timing is bad, they will pass the ball to these two options. After all, the process of tactical execution is only a short moment, and if you can take care of this, you can't take care of that!

Garnett skipped the one, two, and third options and passed the ball to the fourth option, Oakley, in time, and the vision and timing were absolutely wonderful!

Sure enough, he is worthy of being a big forward in his previous life, and he can still average more than 5 assists per game for six consecutive seasons!

Excellent tactics must be executed by excellent players, and only excellent players can give full play to excellent tactics to the greatest power!

A good coach and a good player go hand in hand!
