181 Helpless Pistons

Nash was quite steady on the ball, his body fluttering, and in the moments of swaying, he was already outside the opponent's three-point line.

"Run!" Nash yelled at everyone.

Now defending Zhang Chen is the mask monkey Hamilton, this is a guy with good physical fitness, good running and shooting, and in some sense, he and Zhang Chen's technical style is quite similar.

It's just that a person with a similar technical style naturally knows how to defend the opponent better.

Zhang Chen wanted to score the team's first goal today, especially when he saw Barbossa staring at the game with a shy face. As a result, Zhang Chen began to run against Hamilton's defense.

Hamilton is not only a player who is good on offense, but also a player who reacts quickly and has solid defensive skills. He followed Zhang Chen, who had a somewhat similar technical style to himself, and did not dare to relax a step.

In fact, at this time, many coaches in the league have begun to pay attention to Zhang Chen, and they have studied a lot of game tricks to deal with Zhang Chen. For example, the defensive tactics of the Lakers' 4-1 joint defense on the court were carried out against Zhang Chen.

The league's coaches worked hard and calculated everything, and it had no impact on Zhang Chen, which was absolutely impossible, Zhang Chen's three-point shooting rate dropped a little, which is a fact, however, the decline in his three-point shooting rate brought about a further reduction in the defensive pressure encountered by the Suns. Moreover, even if Zhang Chen's three-point shot is a little down, he is definitely still the best shooter in the league.

Today's Pistons' defensive arrangement is also a tactic that allows Hamilton to follow Zhang Chen all the time, and at the same time, various big men on the inside take advantage of opportunities to defend Zhang Chen's breakthrough or shooting.

This defensive arrangement also has a lot of targets for Zhang Chen, and the most critical point of this surname is the success of Hamilton's defense on the outside.

It turns out that Hamilton is indeed quite qualified to play this position, he already has the title of Detroit perpetual motion machine, plus some knowledge of running, so the defense of Zhang Chen is naturally like a fish in water.

It's just that there is one thing they overlooked, or one thing that they couldn't have thought of at all, that is, Zhang Chen's speed level has increased by one level overnight!

Barbossa dared to say that Zhang Chen was probably going to be defended by Hamilton, and that was also based on Zhang Chen's original speed, but now it looks a little boring. Hamilton did follow Zhang Chen from the left to the right of the three-point line, and it seems that Hamilton did not lose his defense against Zhang Chen, but Hamilton is a little bitter.

Zhang Chen's running position can be described as a series of its own, his running skills often come with some quite confusing feints, coupled with his current seven-level speed, when Hamilton started to run, although Hamilton was able to keep up with Zhang Chen with his years of experience and skills, but in fact he had already been disgraced by Zhang Chen's running feints.

Hamilton barely followed Zhang Chen and ran back and forth, and then Zhang Chen suddenly ran back, immediately shook off the irritable Hamilton, and stabbed into the deepest part of the basket like a sharp sword.

"Catch!"

Nash's voice came quickly, and then, from the outside, Nash came with a rather tearing pass, and he will definitely be able to get into the top five today.

The ball directly crossed the defense of several Pistons players, and the location of the hit was also quite clever, allowing Zhang Chen to receive the ball quite comfortably, while the defenders in front of him basically did not react.

But even so, the big men of the Pistons quickly realized that there was an outside player invading the interior, and the roaring Tianzun Wallace, who was closest to Zhang Chen, had already lunged at him with a roar.

There may be some inexperienced rookies, but they don't need to do anything, as long as they see Wallace's fierce face, they may be frightened. Besides, Wallace's current body is indeed blocking Zhang Chendi's way forward.

It's just that Zhang Chen is still lazy the best. Wallace's ferocity didn't have much effect on him either, and the moment Wallace began to pounce on him, his body was already rising from the ground and constantly retreating.

Wallace was still a step slower after all, and Zhang Chendi's basketball had already flown into the net with an unusually gorgeous high-tossing arc, and for a while, the crisp sound echoed for a long time.

"Defend on the inside...... Don't let people walk in! "On the sidelines of the basketball court, the head coach of the Pistons is shouting at the players, and in fact, in this kind of game, the coach yelling on the sidelines of the basketball court has basically no effect.

Zhang Chen glanced at the Suns' bench, and saw that Barbosa's face was not very good-looking, and now he was drawing circles on the ground, so he didn't care about him, and was ready to try the talented man in front of him, Hamilton.

Hamilton already had a difficult feeling in his heart when he faced Zhang Chen again, this guy's running position was too weird, even if he was a person at the peak of his running, he was also a little afraid of his kind of whimsical running.

Another point is that among the news I got before the game, Zhang Chen should be a guy with a rather thin body, and his speed is quite limited. But when Hamilton actually met Zhang Chen, he found that his speed was far from being as unbearable as the legend, on the contrary, his speed was able to squeeze into the last train of the league's first-class speed.

The current Pistons' main tactics are still their Princeton system, and the NBA has many well-known tactical systems, such as Princeton, such as the Lakers' triangle offense, such as the Suns' small-ball run-and-shoot, the Jazz's classic pick-and-roll, and so on. But although these tactics have been studied by many teams, sometimes they really can't solve it completely.

For example, the Lakers' triangle offense, the league's coaches have also studied special ways to deal with it, but when it comes to the court, when the Lakers' elite are all out, their research is basically blown away by the wind.

That's the enduring charm of a tactic.

Now the Pistons are preparing to carry out Princeton tactics, Hamilton has already judged the situation and started to run, but he found that Zhang Chen has been following him very closely, coupled with Zhang Chen's amazing footwork skills, Hamilton can't get rid of Zhang Chen's defense for a while.

Although Zhang Chen's defense is like that, Zhang Chen has been interfering with the side, and their passing is much more cautious. Princeton has a lot of tricks, and it's not impossible to do without him, but without him, this offense is missing one of the sharpest horns.

So, Hamilton wanted to get rid of Zhang Chen.

Billups is the heart and engine of the team, and he's starting to break through now, and Nash really doesn't have much room to defend Billups in front of him, and his poor body limits his play.

Billups was blocked by another Suns guy and immediately passed the ball out and into the hands of the inside.

Hamilton finally found an open space, and finally received the basketball from the inside back, Zhang Chen wanted to cut off the ball but lost his defensive position, allowing Hamilton to quickly cut inside and score a pull-up jumper.

Zhang Chen hurriedly raised his right hand to indicate that the ball was his mistake, but no one said that he was tacitly restarted to retreat to the half court to participate in the attack.

Zhang Chen and Hamilton played each other twice, so that both of them have a deeper understanding of the opponent's running strength, and the other party's running position is something they are deeply afraid of, but Zhang Chen's running ability is actually higher than Hamilton.

One of the main words of the Suns' small-ball run is fast, and they need to be faster than anything.

The next ball immediately became a run-and-gun classic action, Nash just came to the halfway line and immediately made a long-range pass, and under his scalpel-like precision pass, the basketball quickly passed through the obstacles and reached Marion, who was near the opponent's free throw line.

Marion was about to shoot, and the opponent's defensive strength was quickly attracted, and each of the five people on the Suns team had a good mid-range shot, up to the sharpshooter Zhang Chen, down to the inside titan Xiao Si, everyone had the ability to shoot, so the Pistons didn't dare to be careless.

Attracting the opponent's defensive attention, Marion completed his mission, and his basketball quickly appeared in the hands of Zhang Chen, who quickly cut into the basket, and Zhang Chen finally caught this kind of opportunity, so he naturally wanted to put on a show.

"Uh...... Zhang Chen dunked ......"

Several spectators watched Zhang Chen come to the basket almost directly under the basket and then jump up and slam the dunk in a low voice, thinking of Xiao Si's domineering and fierce, thinking of Barbossa's speed and agility, they felt that Zhang Chen's dunk was really miserable.

"Bang!" Sure enough, it was another boring slam dunk, and the audience still cheered a few times symbolically.

Zhang Chen is limited by his bounce ability, and the dunk is naturally not beautiful, compared to his elegant and chic shooting, the dunk is really a bit miserable.

After the dunk hit, Zhang Chen glanced in the direction of the bench again and saw that Barbosa had now lowered his head and began to count his toes. Suddenly, he smiled in his heart, Barbossa said that Zhang Chen was going to be prevented by Hamilton and couldn't move, but now the fact is that Zhang Chen took the lead and has scored the first 4 points of the Suns' opening game.

The Suns players, including their coach D'Antoni, looked at Zhang's back with some surprise.

They could all see the passing of the ball just now, they just saw Zhang Chen and Marion wink, and then quickly took steps to stab into the inside, and then his slam dunk was successful.

What surprised them was not his slam dunk, but Zhang Chen's speed, in Zhang Chendi's rapid cut just now, everyone could see that Zhang Chendi's speed was faster than a few days ago.

This discovery made them feel a little dizzy.

Next to the basketball court, Allen, the Suns trainer who was routinely watching the Suns' game, now took out his notebook without a little surprise and wrote it down: On March 5, against the Detroit Pistons, Chen's speed broke through again, and I was used to this kind of surprise.

By the fourth minute of the first quarter, the two sides were in full swing, and the score alternated upwards, and now the score situation of the two sides is 9:8, and the Suns lead by one point.

Zhang Chen and Hamilton have played against each other several times, and some running enthusiasts are enthusiastic to watch, because every battle between Zhang Chen and Hamilton and every battle of wits and courage contains a lot of technical content.

Zhang Chen's current score is 4 points, which has not risen, while Hamilton's score is 2 points, and he has already missed a ball.

Now it's the Pistons' possession, and Billups is fairly old and steady dribbling through the halfcourt.

After a few more ball rotations, the basketball was once again in Hamilton's hands. Zhang Chen had also suffered from Hamilton's running and mid-range shooting just now, and now he naturally chased his body up.

Hamilton received the pass, but Zhang Chen did not lose his defensive position, and he quickly established himself in front of Hamilton.

However, this time he miscalculated, he originally thought that Hamilton would have to have an offensive buffer before starting to really attack Well, who knew that Hamilton had no fear even though he saw him pounce quickly, he jumped up directly, and in the moment that Zhang Chen didn't have time to block the ground, he had already hit a jump shot.

At 9:10, one team finally scored 10 points.

Reversing offense and defense, the Pistons were more attentive defensively.

Hamilton has also somewhat captured the pattern of Zhang Chen's positioning, and now he has more experience with Zhang Chen. Every player has to go through such a process, and one of his tricks may play quite well in a certain game, and the gods block and kill the gods and Buddhas, but when it comes to the next game, this greeting is completely useless. That's because this trick has been researched by the opponent to find some ways to crack it.

Although Zhang Chen's running position has reached the legendary tenth level, it is impossible to guarantee that his running position will continue to be unsolvable, so every time Zhang Chen finishes the game, he naturally needs to study more tricks when he is defended next time.

Getting back to the point, Hamilton stood in front of Zhang Chendi with more confidence this time, and this time, the Suns were forced to fight a positional battle by the Pistons' rapid retreat. The Suns weren't suited to that kind of offense, so Nash was looking for scoring opportunities while dribbling, but most of his attention was on Zhang.

Zhang Chen saw that when the team needed him, he began to quickly repeat his old skills to start his own running.

Hamilton ran in the direction of his impression of cracking Zhang Chen's running ability, but Zhang Chen faced too many defensive players, and now he has developed many changes in his habitual running skills, Hamilton couldn't continue to catch up for a while under this endless change of moves, and let Zhang Chen run to the position again, and Nash's ball also passed to his hand.

However, Zhang Chen's luck was not so good this time, when he found a position and jumped after receiving the pass, the Pistons' interior defense finally found a target, and Zhang Chen was interfered with by the roaring Tianzun This shot.

"Rebound!" Zhang Chen shouted loudly, he knew that the ball would not go in.

Sure enough, the basketball slammed high on the basket, and then popped up, and was grabbed by another Wallace of the Pistons, and the Pistons controlled the rhythm and began to attack.

It was a positional battle, and the Pistons' offense was quite tight, and finally found a breakthrough on the inside and scored successfully.

The Pistons saw that their joint defense was a little more effective, and they moved more often inside when they stepped back.

Another positional attack, Nash looked for someone for a while, and in the end he could only pass it to Zhang Chen. At this time, Zhang Chen happened to be at a forty-five degree angle on the right wing of the three-point line, and Hamilton had been following him, and he was just being disrupted by a sudden reverse run from Zhang Chen, so he couldn't completely block Zhang Chen now.

However, the moment Zhang Chen was about to shoot, Hamilton still caught up and jumped high in front of Zhang Chen. He saw that Zhang Chen was also preparing to jump, so he jumped up and spared no effort to defend this time.

Hamilton failed to judge in this way, Zhang Chen instantly retracted the basketball and entered the side of the free throw line, and several of the opponent's interior players repeated their old tricks and surrounded them.

It's just that Zhang Chen used his rather gorgeous backward jumper again, and the opponent's several insiders could only see the helplessness in the opponent's eyes, Zhang Chen hit another jump shot, and the game has already scored 6 points.

"Zhang Chen - beautiful shot!"

The DJ at the scene was roaring loudly, and at this time, the audience cheered wildly, compared to Zhang Chen's flawed slam dunk, his shots, especially his backward jumper, were really beautiful.

On the Pistons' side, those insiders and Hamilton thought they should find some way to restrain Zhang Chen's shooting, but the ball just now reminded them that this guy actually had a good step-back jumper, so their interference was still quite limited.

The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard!

At the end of the first quarter of the game, looking at the score of 21:19 and looking at Zhang Chen, who slowly walked off the court, Hamilton suddenly felt a little at a loss. Before the start of the game, he thought that he should be able to use a similar technical style to limit the opponent's offense, at least to add some disgust to him, who knew that Zhang Chen actually had such a miraculous shot, thinking of Zhang Chen's 100 shots in the All-Star Three-Point Contest, Hamilton couldn't help but shrink his pupils innorantly.

Back under the basketball court, Zhang Chen picked up a drink and quickly poured it into his throat, the game just now was also quite physically exhausting. Barbossa was a long distance away from him, and Zhang Chen would not go to him for bad luck.

In fact, Hamilton is really depressed now, he originally thought that Hamilton's defense should still be possible to limit Zhang Chen, who knew that Zhang Chen's speed actually had another breakthrough, coupled with his miraculous shooting, the Pistons needed to use new defensive tactics for Zhang Chen.
