Chapter 127: Iverson of the Pistons
Wu Di was disturbed by the words of the Zen master, and after he came on the field, he reluctantly let himself not think about the words of the Zen master, and finally there were no major mistakes. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, Wu Di's state is not very good, and his attention is never too concentrated. Fortunately, the Hornets were already too far behind, and by the second half of the fourth quarter, they surrendered.
As soon as the game was over, Wu Di immediately rushed into the bathroom and used cold water to sober himself up. No matter what the Zen master's purpose was, Wu Di decided to wait and see what happened, as if the Zen master had not said anything about it.
The Lakers played the Mavericks and Hornets back-to-back, and everyone was tired. After the press conference in a hurry, Wu Di rushed into the hotel, far away from the Zen master.
Everyone also thought that Wu Di was tired, and Sun Yue was still ridiculing him, whether he had spent too much energy on a woman's belly, so he was tired.
Wu Di didn't care about this, and flew to the Motor City with the team at noon the next day. Detroit's auto industry has decayed, and the entire city is littered with abandoned cars.
The slump in the auto industry has also affected the performance of the Pistons, who have been among the strongest teams in the East for many years. But the Pistons also had to win the championship for one year, and the Pistons Five Tigers of that year were all the rage.
Ben Wallace, Rasheed Wallace, Tyshawn Prince, Richard Hamilton, Chauncy Billups. Later, Big Ben left the Pistons, the Five Tigers broke up, and the Pistons never won a championship again.
And because of the economic downturn, the former devil's home field is gone. The rest seem to be getting older, and the Pistons have to find a way to change, trading Billups to the Nuggets in exchange for Iverson, and they are going to use Iverson's scoring ability to revitalize the Pistons' offense.
The original Tigers' best offense was Hamilton, who was a star who didn't need to carry the ball, and most of his scoring came from running and shooting.
This also caused the Pistons to lack offensive strength, and it was also the main reason why they could not win the championship again. No matter how good the defense of the Five Tigers is, they can't score, and winning the championship requires not only defense, but also offense.
Coming to the Pistons Stadium, Wu Di saw Iverson. Now Iverson does not have the loneliness he had before in the Nuggets, but is high-spirited, and he wants to lead the Pistons to a championship and get the championship ring that belongs to him.
As soon as the game began, Iverson was full of momentum, constantly passing Fisher and impacting the Lakers' interior.
Kobe Bryant couldn't help frowning when he saw that Fisher couldn't let go of Iverson. He took the initiative to go in front of Iverson, switch with Fisher, and let Fisher defend Hamilton.
With Kobe's understanding of this old opponent, as long as he is allowed to play smoothly, he can solve the game himself.
Seeing Kobe Bryant defending Iverson, the audience was excited. Because both of them are the leaders of the 96 golden generation, they have been grudging and hating for more than ten years, which is a very good gimmick.
However, Iverson can beat Kobe Bryant in almost no other aspects except for speed and breakthrough, Kobe only needs to keep shooting three points to beat Iverson, because Iverson is too short, for a master like Kobe, there is basically no difference from an empty position.
Iverson may have known this, so he didn't defend Kobe, but Fisher, much to the disappointment of the audience, and the two didn't go to the highlight of the game if they didn't go it alone.
The Pistons' five are getting older, but Hamilton is still the Pistons' No. 1 scorer. Fisher's legs, which are older than the Pistons Five Tigers, can't keep up with Hamilton's footsteps, and Wu Di can only help defend from time to time.
But after all, helping defense does not mean that it can be prevented, and the Pistons are not stupid, Prince and Hamilton saw Wu Di go to make up for the defense, and immediately pulled away, one went to the left and the other went to the right, Wu Di just ran fast, as long as he was not as fast as the real Flash, he would not have time to pass.
In the fifth minute, the Zen master saw that Fisher's defense was full of holes, and replaced him with Sun Yue. The Zen master is also looking for a way to use Sun Yue correctly, and Sun Yue's performance in training is much better than in competition, which is a strange phenomenon.
Later, the Zen master thought that Sun Yue and Wu Di could give full play to his abilities when they played together.
After Sun Yue came on the court, he went to relax Prince and replaced Wu Di to defend Hamilton. When defending, Sun Yue played very well, which reassured the Zen master, and he now wanted to see if there was a little change in the attack.
Hamilton has Wu Di defending, and it has become difficult to connect the ball. Hamilton's movement is really good, and the average person really can't keep up with him. It's a pity that Wu Di is also a running master, although he didn't use the running position much in the game, that is, he didn't need it, but he practiced running every day.
Inside Bynum and Gasol were firmly in control of the basket, making it difficult for Rasheed Wallace and McDice to open up the game at all. And the outside line Prince and Hamilton were also limited, and only Iverson could turn the tide.
Although it was Kobe Bryant who defended him, Iverson didn't think Kobe could defend him. He decided to step up, and after receiving the ball, Iverson motioned for his teammates to pull away and he was going to hit the rebound.
Iverson's character of never admitting defeat allowed him to play Kobe Bryant alone. But he's not the same person he was a few years ago. Although Kobe Bryant can't prevent him, it is difficult for him to break through Kobe, Kobe's speed is not slow, his strength is even greater than him, and his height is more than ten centimeters taller than him, even if he is broken, he can go straight to the basket and block.
Iverson's singles didn't save the Pistons, but instead exposed his tough character to Pistons management.
Once unsuccessful, Iverson will go head-to-head again. Once successful, Iverson will go head-to-head again.
Singles again and again completely disrupted the Pistons' offensive system. You must know that the Pistons play team basketball and rely on the cooperation between several stars to win.
But Iverson is playing such a dozen team basketballs! It's as if he's back in the 76ers, and he's getting carried away, and everyone is there for him.
Wu Di followed Hamilton, and Hamilton was no longer running. Because it's the same whether he runs or not, and Iverson doesn't pass the ball to him, it's better for him to stand there, so he can save some effort.
Wu Di is also very helpless in his heart, Iverson is dying! If you break through, you will also be asked to block people! Rasheed Wallace can also shoot from a distance, and you can make sense of blocking and dismantling, why do you come by yourself?
It seems that Iverson will not stay long in the Pistons, his style of play has fallen behind, and if he does not change, Wu Di estimates that he will soon be out of ball.
