PS: Second update

*****************

After defeating the Philadelphia 76ers in the first round, on May 4, the Wizards welcomed their second opponent in the playoffs, the Detroit Pistons.

The leader of the Pistons is Ben Wallace, who is the core of the Pistons' defense.

Averaging 6.9 points, 15.5 rebounds, 3.2 blocks and 1.5 steals per game this season, he was named to the All-Star starting team for the first time and became another player in history to defend his rebounding title, and he has a career-high number of rebounds this season.

Big Ben was the league's rebounding leader, block leader and best defensive player last season, and he was also named to the All-Defensive First Team and All-Third Team, and this season, he is still a strong contender for the best defensive player, and according to media predictions, Big Ben is very likely to win the first best team of his career this season.

Although the offensive ability is almost zero, such a defensive monster is enough to affect opponents, and the Pistons have built a defensive bucket formation around him, so the Pistons have been able to reach the top in the East this season.

The Pistons with Big Ben are an opponent that should not be underestimated, and for the opponent, how to deal with the defensive iron formation centered on Big Ben is the most critical.

In addition to defending the iron gate Ben Wallace, the Pistons have Richard Hamilton, who is extremely accurate at the basket and good at catching and shooting. Hamilton has averaged almost 20 points per game this season, and he's the heart of the Pistons' offense.

The above two attack and defend, and there is also Chauncy Billups who can take the helm...... Add to that their team defensive prowess...... It can be said that it is extremely difficult to beat the Pistons.

Auburn Hills Palace......

It was bustling, the fans were full of relaxed smiles on their faces, and the whole game was extremely relaxed.

There was still a moment before the start of the game, and the players were doing a simple warm-up on the field.

Wu Di glanced at the black strong man opposite from time to time, his strong muscles were like steel, and he could feel the explosive force just by looking at it.

"Ben Wallace, he has a lot of control over the penalty area, and your task today is not easy." Wu Di chuckled softly.

Wu Di was surrounded by several of the Wizards' insiders, and they all obviously heard Wu Di's words.

Brandon Haywood said with a serious face: "He's shorter, but his defensive sense is really good, and his rebounding control is very good. ”

Christian Leitner had a look of jealousy in his eyes, and he said, "This guy is too strong, I don't think it's easy to get him." ”

Kwame Brown, on the other hand, was a little scoffing at the reaction of his two teammates, only to see him say with great confidence: "I want to challenge this guy, I don't believe that a player without offensive ability can be so useful." ”

Wu Di's eyes flickered, and then he chuckled and stopped talking.

On the opposite side of the Wizards' training field, a group of guys in piston jerseys were also warming up.

Ben Wallace is practicing his layups and scoring after cutting to the basket, and he's the kind of player who takes the game very seriously, so he'll get his pre-game personal form to the best level.

Therefore, it is a pre-game warm-up, and he is also extremely serious.

Peng's loud bang rang out.

The fans looked up with interest, and it was Ben Wallace's smile that was uglier than crying.

Big Ben pulled the basket with both hands and made a pull-up to the top, and the strong upper limbs and bulging muscles suddenly caused a lot of waves.

"Wow, Ben is strong again, I've always liked him this guy, he's so strong."

"This guy is so strong, he has a lot of strength, I think I'm going to be able to make the guys from Washington deflated today."

"God, I really can't think of any of those people on the other side who can stop Ben, will he fan the other person's whole person away?"

……

A jumbled voice came, filled with praise for Ben Wallace.

Ben Wallace felt the hot atmosphere around him, and couldn't help but roar, and at his teammates who came over, Wallace smiled and said, "God, let's start the game, I can't wait to fight the guy opposite." ”

Richard Hamilton chuckled, "Hey, Big Ben, you're more relaxed, we're facing a horrible hungry wolf-like backfield, God forbid, I hope we can easily settle those guys." ”

"Hey, guys, we're not the Philadelphia guys. They're not going to score easily, hehe, I'm going to protect the rebound, and you give me a hard slap in the ass and tell them this is not the place for them to go wild. ”

Big Ben's rampant and confident laughter was immediately echoed by his teammates around him.

It seemed that they felt the relaxed demeanor of the home team's players, and the cheers of the fans became even stronger, as if they didn't think the Wizards could pass them.

The game was broadcast live across the United States, and Ross Barkley and Kenny Smith remained the only two options to commentate.

Barkley glanced at the court with a spring breeze on his face, and after a long whistle, his mouth moved: "Dear brothers and sisters, welcome to the live broadcast of the playoffs brought to you by Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith today, this game is between the Washington Wizards and the Detroit Pistons......"

After a lengthy introduction, Barkley and Kenny Smith officially talked about the game.

"I'm curious to see what kind of offense the Wizards can use to score points under the Pistons' defense, and I'm curious to see if their scorers can show the same firepower they have with the 76ers." Barkley said.

Smith, who is known to the nation as Dimi Wu, chuckled and said, "I think Dimi has no problem, his athleticism and scoring style make him play relatively easily under the Pistons' defensive tactics." ”

"Well, I'd love to see how he handles Detroit's bucket defense...... I think his individual score will be significantly reduced from the first round. Barkley said with an affirmative face.

Kenny Smith laughed: "That's just what you think, he's the Wizards' first-round scoring champion, and I think he'll continue to put on a good performance." Actually, I think we should talk more about the tactics of both sides in this series. ”

Barkley thought for a moment, then said: "Detroit is all about team play, and their defense is also team defense, and their defense is very pressing and resilient, and in this regard, the Wizards want to rely on the strategy when they play Philadelphia. Speaking of which, I'm also curious to see what kind of approach Doug Collins will take. ”

While the two were talking, the jump ball on the court had already decided the winner and loser, and Big Ben won the first offensive possession for the Pistons.

At this time, Wu Di was sitting on the sidelines, and according to Doug Collins's prior arrangement, their substitutes had to carefully observe the opponent's offensive and defensive tactics.

In the third minute of the game, there was a sudden burst of exclamations and cheers from the fans on the sidelines.

Brandon Haywood, who was sitting next to Wu Di, couldn't help but exclaim: "Ben Wallace's defense is terrible, he can defend such a ball." ”

Wu Di's eyes were burning, and he was extremely amazed at the ball, Ben Wallace almost hit Kwame Brown's solid goal when the basketball was about to reach its peak, so that the Wizards clearly scored two fewer points.

It's clear that the Pistons defense on the court is centered around Ben Wallace from the inside out, and it can be said that it is he who drives the entire defense of the Pistons.

'He's very fast and has a very good sense of defence. What's even more terrifying is his unparalleled abundance of physical energy. Therefore, it is impossible to kill him, and I think that if you want to break their defenses, you can break them one by one, and when Wallace is left alone, then he will be alone......" Wu Di said thoughtfully.

Haywood asked, confused, "You mean to isolate him and cut him off from the rest of the people's defenses?" ”

A hint of surprise appeared in Wu Di's eyes, and he suddenly felt that this Heywood was smarter than he imagined.

Nodding, Wu Di said confidently: "Through my observation, the Pistons' defensive powerhouse is actually only Ben Wallace, and they rely on more assistance defense, so once their rotation fluency and assistance defense are cut off, their defense is not so terrible at that time." ”
