Chapter 195: The Gap Between East and West

To be honest, Davis's performance in the Pistons is better than Billups, some people have calculated that in the month of injury during the Warriors, Davis averaged 18 points and 8 assists per game, and on the Pistons, his score suddenly soared to 24. 2 points, 11. 8 assists, in addition to 2. 5 steals.

Billups was much worse with the Pistons, but averaged 17 points per game and 6. 4 assists only. The result brought the Motor City fans out of the shadow of losing Billups, and they excitedly declared: We have a better leader.

Of course, Warriors fans have no regrets, because after Billups came to the Pistons, although he still scored 17 points, he still reached a terrifying 14 assists. 6 pcs!

To be clear, this season's assist king has nothing to do with the above two, Paul got the first assist title of his career with 12 assists per game, and he also averaged 22 points per game, becoming the first guard since Larry Johnson to score 22+12.

The trade between the Pistons and the Warriors can be said to be a happy one, both teams got the people they wanted, the SuperSonics were good, they got Prince, and Durant could focus entirely on offense from then on.

The Pistons' ability to beat Howard's Magic to become the third in the East is obviously inseparable from Davis's excellent performance, Davis also has the capital to shout, to say that he does not hate Chamberlain, not hostile to the Warriors is false, after all, he once led the Warriors to create an unprecedented Black Eight Miracle, but this team chose the latter without hesitation in his and Chamberlain's choice, which really made him feel cold.

For this reason, after Chamberlain had the nickname 'Autobots', Davis took the initiative to give himself the nickname 'Decepticons', what his purpose was, needless to say, everyone has seen "Transformers".

In the last game of the playoffs, the Oracle Arena was full of people, and fans played the headline of 'See you in the playoffs', and they were really not interested in this regular season game.

Davis has been keeping a tight face since he entered the Oracle Arena, because he found that there were not many traces of him in the huge arena, and what made him even more sad was that none of the 20,000 fans who came here wore his Warriors jersey, and most of them wore Chamberlain's '0' jersey.

The most unbearable thing for the bearded man was that when he entered the stadium, he was laughed at by the fans: "Man, how can you call a Decepticon?" You must know that every battle between the Decepticons and the Autobots is a loss, and besides, the Decepticons are villains! ”

"These sluts who like the new and hate the old, I will make you regret it sooner or later!" Davis said through gritted teeth.

The game finally began, and the lineup sent by the Warriors disappointed Davis, Chamberlain did not appear in the starting lineup, the starting lineup was Evans + Harrington + Barnes + West + Lewis, a very standard bench lineup, except for Harrington, the other four are substitutes.

Old Nelson sat leisurely on the bench, looking at his opponent and laughing, is he stupid? This kind of game sends a substitute to play dry hair, anyway, no matter whether we win or lose, we are fifth in the West, and there is no benefit in winning against you, and there is nothing to show off about the team that wins against you.

The Pistons are Rashid Wallace + McDyce + Mark Hill + Hamilton + Davis, the Detroit people sent Billups away to make way for Starkey, but the Davis in exchange for it performed too well and was righteous, but completely seized Starkey's opportunity to play, which made the young master grit his teeth with hatred.

Watching the players on both sides play, Chamberlain and Billups were talking and laughing, the latter was teaching him playoff skills, after all, he was the one who won the FMVP, and he was afraid that Chamberlain would drop the chain. Chamberlain is not worried that he will drop the chain, isn't it just to strengthen the defense? That was his strong point, so the two began to argue and mock each other.

All in all, neither of the two had today's opponent in their eyes, and this incident made Davis grit his teeth with hatred.

couldn't vent his hatred with Chamberlain, so he found West, gritted his teeth and said, "Boy, I'll beat you all over the ground today!" ”

West is Chamberlain's hardcore follower, this is a well-known thing now, if it weren't for the fact that it was impossible to join the Chinese men's basketball team, then West would have to follow Chamberlain to change his nationality and become a Chinese citizen.

Averaged 18 per game. 2 points, 4. 5 rebounds, 4. 2 assists, 1. 2 caps and 2. Eight steals, this is West's statistic since he came to the Warriors, which is extremely comprehensive, Warriors fans are glad that their team has picked up a treasure, while Celtics and SuperSonics fans sigh.

West obviously knew about the hatred between Chamberlain and Davis, who was about to be fired crazy by the media before the game, and now as long as he is not blind or deaf, he understands the direct relationship between the two sides, and when he heard Davis's warning, he sneered and said, "Don't you fucking want to play in the playoffs?" Believe it or not, I'm here to bring you down? ”

Davis was about to go crazy with his big eyes, Evans came up and pulled West away, although he looked hideous, in fact, Evans was a real person, Davis obviously knew this, after all, they had been teammates for more than a month, so he began to become more and more arrogant: "If you come here, street bastard, do you think I'm afraid of you?" When Lao Tzu swept the streets, you still peed and played with mud......"

In this way, the game has not yet begun, and the war of words between the two sides has started first.

Rashid and Evans jumped after the Pistons took the lead in attacking, although Evans bounced well, but he was too short, half a head shorter than Rashid, the jump ball really did not have any advantage, if Chamberlain played, Rashid would only be killed in seconds.

Mark Hill took the lead, Davis seemed to have played chicken blood, he pushed Luis hard back all the way to the free throw area, attracted Barnes to wrap and then passed the ball to Mark Hill without hesitation, but unfortunately the mid-range shot came out, and the Pistons' first offense was defended by himself.

The offense on the Warriors' side is completely off, after all, they are all bench players, although the ability is there, but compared with the starters of the top teams in the East, it is still a lot worse, and the old Nelson is aimed at training so he doesn't care, but the fans are unhappy and chant 'Z'.

The Warriors attacked, first Barnes shot wide, and West smashed two consecutive long-range shots on the basket, so that the Warriors' main attack West's tactics were shattered by the Pistons, and Davis has to be praised here, that is, he is defending West, this guy is strong, plus the experience he has cultivated in the league for so many years, his defensive ability is indeed extremely good.

The Pistons' attack point is very clear, Davis is the team's main point of attack, after Mark Hill's shot missed, Davis scored 8 points in a row, destroying the Warriors' outside line from the beginning, helping the team to take a 13-2 lead.

The Warriors had only West hit one mid-range shot in four minutes, and the Pistons showed the defensive prowess of the top teams in the East, who were able to hold back the Warriors' offense defensively.

Nelson Sr. called an emergency timeout to solve the offensive problem, and he blamed West for being arrogant and asked Luis to distribute the ball. The latter is worthy of the old Nelson's favorite point guard, he is extremely calm, and after returning, he first assisted Harrington to score a layup, and then responded to Evans for an aerial relay.

This time it was the Pistons' turn to be anxious, but Rashid made another three-second violation, West seized the opportunity to make a defensive foul on Davis, and after the free throw, he stole Mark Hill's pass to launch a fast break, scoring 4 points in a row, becoming a major contributor to the Warriors' scoring chase, instigating an 8-0 mini-climax to chase the score to 10-13 and stabilize the position.

Rashid faced Evans' defense and then ate offensive fouls, the latter was no longer Wuxia Amon under Thurmond's drills, because of his fast lateral movement speed and hard defensive attitude, and strong ball style, Evans already has the reputation of the second generation of Big Ben, although everyone knows that he is still so far away from Big Ben as far as the Earth and Mars, but there are finally signs of catching up, isn't it a good thing?

The Pistons replaced Rasheed in place of Amir Johnson, Harrington grabbed and continued to attack the Pistons inside, West went to the basket and scored two points, and the Warriors tied the score at 16 in one fell swoop.

The Warriors quickly came out of a bad start, and Davis began to plan a counterattack, first assisting Hamilton to throw a three-pointer to fight back, and McDis scored six straight points under the basket to prop up the Pistons' offensive system, showing his toughness as a top power forward that was once comparable to Garnett and Duncan.

On the Warriors' side, West attacked the Pistons' basket twice in a row and assisted Harrington to score a three-pointer, and the two sides entered a timeout tied at 25. However, Hamilton's three-pointer regained the Pistons' lead, and Luis hurriedly hit a mid-range shot to bite the score, and Jackson, who came off the bench, made a sneak basket to help the Warriors take a 29-28 lead at the end of the first quarter.

Back in the second quarter, Chamberlain and Billups, the two core players, still did not play, the old Nelson sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, the performance of the bench lineup made him overjoyed, and the performance of the Westers surprised him, the head coach, it turned out that he had such a group of resilient guys under him.

The opening game was the Warriors' possession, and West immediately extended the Warriors' advantage with a layup, and then he cut off the opponent's breakaway pass to Jackson when facing Davis, assisting the latter to dunk. The Warriors got off to a good start, but Evans made a mistake to grab a rebound and scored an own goal, so they missed the opportunity to continue to extend their lead.

However, the Warriors have been leading with a bench lineup, and their opponent is the Pistons, who are third in the West, which is enough to make the fans feel excited, and the Pistons fans are dumbfounded.
