Chapter 5: Shocked! The top pick in the draft actually lost to the crane tail!
Ford was shocked, his hunting target was the first in this year's draft, but he was shown off by the penultimate in the draft?
Woodson watched seriously from the sidelines, he was almost angry, he emphasized so many defenses before going on the court, the Pistons point guard was still passed by one step, but fortunately, Mo Wen reacted quickly.
Otherwise, if you come up and let the Bucks play so easily, won't his so-called defense become a joke?
Is it really just just quick to react?
Of course not, Mo Wen has played against the pinnacle TJ Ford in the dungeon, and the speed that is half a step faster than Iverson puts a lot of pressure on the defender's mentality and ankles.
He knew very well that with the current Pistons' marginal point guard, it was impossible to guard Ford's speed, so when Ford broke through, he had already consciously started to lean towards the inside, and this was the time to arrive.
Fortunately, Ford is only strong at speed, and his offensive skills and finishing skills are not half of Iverson's rookie days, even in his prime.
Just like a tram and a supercar, the acceleration may be about the same, but the other configurations are 108,000 miles away from the actual combat on the track.
···
When it came to the Pistons' offensive round, Woodson prepared two sets of offensive tactics — high blocking and low post offense — which were still the simplest versions.
If these two sets of tactics around Oku and Sula can't be played, then there is the ultimate magic weapon - Mo Wenla singles.
It's all a group of new fringe people, and complex tactics can't be practiced, and of course, complex offensive tactics Woodson will have to say more or less.
The Pistons' point guard wanted to return Ford on the offensive end, and he didn't know where he got his confidence, his skills were not good, his speed was not good, and his physical confrontation was not as good as Ford's.
Mo Wen covered his face directly, he couldn't protect the ball, and he played Nima's profession?!
The offense and defense of the two teams in the first quarter were very entangled, and the starting point guard of the Pistons couldn't prevent Ford at all, and he was delirious after a few rounds, and the substitutes he replaced were not much better, and Mo Wen and Sula had to help wipe their butts.
And the Bucks are also very uncomfortable with the Pistons' shrinking iron bucket, Mo Wen and Sula have the ability to help defend, and the Pistons' interior Oku is also very focused on defense.
In the era of shrinking defense, the problem that can be solved by a few shots is almost unsolvable now.
The other players on the court of the Bucks couldn't shoot accurately, and Ford didn't shoot either, so even if the breakthrough space was limited, he had to break through.
At the end of the first quarter, the Pistons were 23:22 Bucks, and the two rookies pecked each other while probing.
Mo Wen scored 6 points in the first quarter, with a sense of presence at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, he has a lot of experience in stealing points and picking up leaks under the training of various basketball copies, compared to the strong teams encountered in the dungeons, the Bucks in front of him are basically all opportunities in his eyes.
In the second quarter, the Pistons were again focused on taking care of TJ Ford, who let the kid have the ball in his hand all the time.
Ford finally remembered that he still had the ability to pass the ball, and he relied on breakthroughs and playmaking to eat in college when he was in college, but unfortunately he wanted to prove himself too much today, and instead hit a bag.
But picking up the pass didn't allow Ford to lead the team out of trouble. Summer League wasn't Ford's varsity team, and there weren't many players who had a tacit relationship.
After Ford's pass was robbed a few times by two veteran drivers, Mo Wen and Sula, he even became much more cautious in passing.
With the Pistons leading by less than 70 points combined after halftime, Woodson was quite happy with the status quo, and that was the game that the Larry Brown faction loved.
Extreme defense, stereotyped offense, and a rhythm that makes the audience sleepy.
Mo Wen's performance became more and more brilliant in the second quarter, cutting without the ball, and the transfer organization was also bright on the offensive end. Three times when he didn't have time to pick up the pot singles in the end, he handed in three shots and two hits, and he was just like a star in this arena.
The Bucks' assistant coaches in charge of summer league began to look for scouts for information.
Where did this Asian pop up, the style of play is so sophisticated, could it be that the Chinese national player has come over?
The game ended, the Pistons 89:77 Bucks.
TJ Ford stuck in his waist, his small body was unwilling, he scored 15 points, 6 assists and 2 rebounds on 6-of-16 shooting, the statistics were not good, and the team lost.
He looked at Mo Wen unwillingly, this is the thing that messed up his debut plan!
Mo Wen played 33 minutes in this game, shot 10 of 15, and cut 23 points, 3 assists and 7 rebounds.
The player opposite him by the Bucks was a draft loser, his body was not good, his style of play was still immature, and he was not Mo Wen's opponent at all, and he was tortured for half a year and changed to another veteran with a base salary, so he barely limited Mo Wen slightly.
Playing in NBA-level dungeons every day, he felt at home for the first time in a low-intensity league like Summer League.
It's like a bastard in the high-end game coming to a low segment, and the feeling that I can C is really addictive.
Mo Wen scored 6 points in the first quarter, 9 points in the second quarter, 8 points in the third quarter, and left work in the fourth quarter.
Normally, he tried his best to score in the dungeon, but today it didn't take much effort to show off, this is basketball.
"This Asian has a lot of feints like the real Mazefak, and the girls on my college cheerleading team don't have as many tricks as him!" The undrafted pick, who began to defend Mo Wen, complained in the locker room.
"The coach also said that he is a rookie, soft persimmon, and the defense is definitely not good, I really think of his whole family! With his black hands, he won't suffer a loss if he goes to the octagonal cage! The referee is also blind, and he doesn't blow him even if his labor and capital are pinched! The blacks, who were assigned to defend Mo Wen in the back, also complained.
"Pinched red? Brother, you are a purebred Brother Ni! The black guy who was changing clothes next to him looked at him and quipped.
"Fake Squid, you are darker than me, you are embarrassed to say me, you are Brother Ni!" The black brother who spoke just now pursed his lips and went back angrily.
There were only two games in the Pepsi Six team league today, but after watching the second game, many reporters deleted the manuscript of the first game of Ajan.
The top scorer is not as high as the Asian at the end of the show, is this the opposite?
They wanted to compare James' performance to other rookies.
As a result, good guys, the Bucks' No. 8 pick and the Pistons' second-round pick scored higher than Ajan's, how can this be blown?
Nike's public relations budget is limited, and the recharged media can ignore the subsequent games with a clear conscience and brag about Ajan, but many media that have not been recharged immediately poked out the fun.
"Shocked! The top pick in the draft actually lost to the crane tail! "High school students struggle for their debut, and Nike gambles and fails? "Piston Taobao succeeded, and the rookie at the end pointed at the top of the sword! ”······
Those who have watched the game know that James' debut performance was not bad, his performance in the first quarter was not much different from his flashy style of play in high school, and James showed good passing and playmaking skills in the back.
But everything has to pay attention to a comparison, you have a champion draft "boss" debut performance can't even suppress the draft "boss", what kind of story does this tell, isn't this an accident?
What two people didn't play the same game, what game intensity was different, and what Zhan Zhan was taken care of.
The huge pseudo-fan base doesn't care, they only look at excel.
James knew that he would definitely be under a lot of pressure after entering the NBA under the title of "The Chosen One", but he didn't expect the pressure to come so early, let alone that the pressure would come from an Asian rookie he had never heard of before?
In the summer league in Long Beach, which started earlier, Carmelo Anthony, who has always been compared to him, has made a name for himself with an average of 19+8 per game in three games.
I thought that Milicic would not be able to come, and the Orlando Summer League would be his James's solo, but a No. 58 pick from the Pistons jumped up again.
With a late show scoring 23 points in the third quarter, is the Bucks' defense all crumbs?
