Chapter Eighty-Three: Bad Kobe, the Real Test (19,000 words per day!) Kneeling for subscriptions, monthly passes)
"Oh? Bethes wants me to be their spokesperson? ”
Phoenix, on this day, when Wang Shuo was thinking hard about how to beat the Lakers "F4", he led the Suns on the court and received good news off the court.
As the oldest ice cream factory in the United States, Bethes wanted Wang Shuo to endorse them and jointly launched an ice cream called "Victory".
The endorsement amount is not high, only $1.5 million for 3 years.
But as a spokesperson, in the next three years, Wang Shuo will no longer have to worry about eating ice cream.
Interestingly, the reason why Bethes found Wang Shuo this time is not only because he was in the game with the Cavaliers, and the picture of sitting on the sideline just having a cold drink was widely praised by fans after the game, but also because as a large ice cream factory in Philadelphia, many of the senior executives of this ice cream factory are Iverson fans.
In this regard, Wang Shuo was very curious about why the other party didn't directly ask Iverson to endorse.
And the other party's answer was also very straightforward......
Compared with Iverson's endorsement fee, Wang Shuo's endorsement fee is obviously more cost-effective.
Hearing this, Wang Shuo sighed at that time.
However, for the sake of the other party being so upright, Wang Shuo did not embarrass them.
Anyway, he Wang Shuo is not short of this money, there is free ice cream, why not eat it?
In fact, in the past two years, after Wang Shuo quickly became popular, he also privately received many invitations to cooperate with internationally renowned brands, but many of them refused without even bothering to chat.
As for the reason, it is also very simple.
In the past two years, Wang Shuo has made a lot of money just from over-the-counter investment, why should he make a fuss for himself in the future for these endorsement fees?
There are some things that others can forget, but he Wang Shuo really can't forget.
In this life, if he wants to make money, he has a lot of methods. (Note (1))
Right now, leading this sun to complete Nirvana is the real big thing in Wang Shuo's eyes!
On November 1, the Suns at the West Jersey Arena ushered in the challenge of the Lakers' "F4".
How to describe this Lakers?
Overall, judging by their performance in the opening game of the regular season, there is not much wrong with this Lakers "F4".
In the opening game of the regular season, when Kobe Bryant was absent for some reason, O'Neal and his new partners took down the Mavericks led by Nelson Sr. with little effort.
Right now, the Lakers' real trouble is off the court.
This summer, while Bryant was on a plane to Eagle County, Colorado, to undergo knee surgery, a 19-year-old female waitress claimed that Bryant had been sexually assaulted after accompanying Bryant through the check-in process and showing her around the hotel.
On July 1, Bryant, who had just undergone knee surgery, was questioned by a local sheriff late that night.
And on July 18, at a press conference at the Staples Center, accompanied by his wife, Vanessa, he admitted that he had indeed had sex with the waitress.
But Bryant insisted that it was just a willing-for accident.
In the NBA, it's no longer news that stars are hunting off the court.
For example, Danzi, when he hugged Wang Shuo's thigh in Washington, often took Wang Shuo to spend time drinking together.
I don't know if it's because Kobe didn't give enough money afterwards, or if he just wants to prostitute for nothing......
In short, at the moment, he has to constantly run off the field and between the court, and he has indeed been greatly affected in terms of game form.
As a person who has come over, the experienced "good big brother" O'Neal immediately gave Kobe Bryant a suggestion: "It's really not good, you just give her a little more hush money!" ”
O'Neal didn't want Kobe Bryant to affect his performance on the court because of this negative news off the court.
Because O'Neal, who will turn 32 on March 6 next year, is extremely eager to increase his leverage in future contract extension negotiations with the Lakers by winning a championship.
But what O'Neill never expected was that his "omnipotent little brother" would give him a stab in an interview with reporters.
Although Bryant's original English meaning at that time was probably that Shaq had made the same mistake, in any case, the phrase "Shaq also did it", which was widely praised by later generations, did greatly affect the relationship between Kobe and O'Neal.
According to the recollection of many Lakers players afterwards, O'Neal was so angry that he just wanted to find Kobe Bryant to duel, and he wanted to hammer Kobe to death with one punch.
New York, in recent times, Stern has really been so overwhelmed by these off-the-field trivialities.
Because of this, Phoenix finally helped Iverson get back on track, and over there, Kobe Bryant gave Stern a hard job without saying a word.
The impact of the "Eagle County Incident" is destined to be far-reaching.
Because during Kobe's lawsuit, Vanessa was tormented by public opinion, so this incident also indirectly led to the miscarriage of Vanessa, who was pregnant at the time.
There is a black one, Kobe Bryant is really sorry for Vanessa in this matter.
But if you have to say that the "victim" of the "Eagle County Incident" is an innocent, innocent little girl, and attack Kobe Bryant with this, then you really underestimate this "victim".
Because according to the results of DNA tests after the incident, shortly after having sex with Kobe, the "victim" also had sex with multiple men.
As for so many men who have had a relationship with her, why did she pick Kobe Bryant to sue?
In fact, to put it bluntly, just like O'Neill said, everything is caused by money.
On the court, Kobe Bryant, who played for the Lakers under huge pressure from public opinion tonight, was booed by the fans as soon as he made his debut.
In addition, compared with the talk and laughter with O'Neal last season, Kobe Bryant this season is obviously so lonely and lonely.
Before the start of the game, except for Devin George who took the initiative to cover his mouth and communicate with Kobe Bryant for a few minutes, the other Lakers players kept a certain distance from Kobe.
At the scene, after the warm-up, the game officially began.
The starting lists for both teams tonight are as follows:
Lakers: O'Neal, Malone, George, Kobe, Payton.
Suns: Chandler, Jr., Marion, Bale, Iverson.
In the 1996/1997 season, the "glove" who was at his peak bullied Iverson on the field.
Later, as he got older, Iverson retaliated against him on the court.
In the original historical line, in the 03/04 season, Iverson even played a 39-0 tragedy against Payton.
In the center of the court, after the jump ball, the sun has the ball.
At this moment, looking at old Peyton, Iverson's big smart eyes seemed to ask Peyton:
You, can you still eat?
Knock, knock!
On the court, after just one shot, Peyton Sr. felt his knee alarm!
Fortunately, Kobe Bryant on the side slid sideways in time and successfully delayed Iverson's breakthrough.
But Iverson, who was quick-eyed, also immediately gave the ball to Bale.
Swish!
On the wing, Bell made three points, 0-3.
CCTV, Director Zhang complained: "Peyton once said to Hill when he was young, crossing you is like crossing the road in the morning. But tonight, Iverson passed him more easily than he did on the road in the early morning! ”
Peyton, who has always liked to spew trash talk, was really powerless in front of Iverson tonight.
On the one hand, in addition to the friendship he and Iverson forged through not fighting and not knowing each other, his little black brother, every time he faced him, basically put down as many hands as he could.
The first decade of the 21st century saw the NBA look good and look good here.
That is, the better the relationship between the stars off the field, often when they play on the field, they are eager to kill the opposite side.
So, do you want to say that Chris Paul is likeable?
You see, will I not get dirty with James because of his relationship with him?
Joke!
When it comes to dirty, I've always treated everyone equally!
On the court, back on, the Lakers attacked.
Tonight, the Lakers didn't go into a triangle right away.
Instead, Malone was raised to a high position to build a wall for Peyton.
Although this Lakers team can indeed not play a triangle offense, in Wang Shuo's eyes, this is a bit of putting the cart before the horse.
Because no matter how much gas Payton and Malone still have in their tanks, they can't put enough pressure on the Suns on the court like O'Neal and Kobe.
High post, after the outside bullet, Malone received Payton's pass and pulled out his hand.
This is Ma Long's specialty, under the appearance of a muscular hunk, fighting and retreating is his true face.
In Wang Shuo's previous life, everyone in the world would only be iron-blooded, but he didn't know that in his career, Garnett, who had a middle-distance shooting ratio and a long-distance shooting ratio of only about 54%, beat a younger brother in front of Ma Long, who had 59.7% of these two data!
But no matter how good you are, there will be times when you miss it.
On the field, Chandler angrily brushed a board.
Coming back, the Suns attacked.
When he retreated, O'Neill found out that Wang Shuo was definitely sent by God to clean him up.
Because compared to the Wizards, there is still a hint of laziness and possible conversion offense, and the Suns' fast offense is outrageous!
In desperation, Devin George, who saw that only Kobe Bryant was in place among the four big brothers, hurriedly pulled Iverson and took the initiative to apply for a foul.
At this time, O'Neal, who had just run back to his own half, looked at Wang Shuo, who was eating doughnuts with Barkley on the Suns bench, with a puzzled expression.
is different from the cheap maid who wanted to kill Wang Shuo back then.
At this moment, he O'Neill didn't understand......
Why did these opponents he had hammered before become so powerful after being combined by Wang Shuo.
Tyson Chandler, who annoyed the Chicago Bulls in just two games in the new season, never even looked at him with a straight eye when O'Neal met him before.
Because in O'Neill's eyes, beating Chandler is like playing, as long as he pushes a little harder, Chandler will lie down on his own and let him handle it.
Marion and Xiao Si, not to mention the young men, last season, O'Neal played these two brothers, which can only be described as holding a handle.
And Iverson.
Although in the Finals that year, Iverson scored a victory for the 76ers in Staples.
But then, didn't he O'Neill also prove it?
No matter how strong you Iverson is, you can only sit and watch Brother Shak blow up your family's inside line.
As for Raga Bell......
Truth be told, until the start of this game, O'Neal didn't even know that there was such a number one person in the NBA.
But it's such a sun.
After being combined by Wang Shuo's gang, it only took the opening two rounds at this moment to make O'Neal break out in a cold sweat.
On the court, Iverson held the ball after the Suns drove the ball from the sideline.
Xiao Si was promoted to a high position to make a wall for Iverson.
Peyton, who is experienced defensively, successfully anticipated Iverson's breakout route.
And then......
He was given by Iverson.
On the flanks, Kobe, who was once again supplementing Payton's defense, was also on fire at this time, and yelled at Peyton: "Go and make up for my people!" ”
Hearing this, Peyton hurriedly slid in front of Bell, and successfully filled the hole on this side.
But at this moment, before Malone could educate Xiao Si with his iron elbow, on the other side, Marion, who rushed to the Lakers restricted area under the cover of Chandler, completed his lift-off performance:
After receiving Iverson's pass, Marion relayed in the air and hit with a one-handed smash!
I dare not say that this ball was handled by the eldest brother O'Neal, Devin George hurriedly raised his hand and took the initiative to take the blame, fully demonstrating what emotional intelligence is!
Coming back, the Lakers attacked.
Still didn't play a triangle attack.
But just as Payton was about to block and dismantle with Malone again, Kobe Bryant suddenly drilled out of the wing and glared at Payton fiercely.
But Payton ignored Kobe, but through Malone, he hoisted the ball to O'Neal, who was sitting in the penalty area.
On the sidelines, Wang Shuo felt that if this Lakers continued to play like this, it would be a few games, and the team would have to blow up.
Although the "Zen master" is very good at managing the locker room......
But compared to the previous Lakers who only used to deal with "OK" relationships, tonight's Lakers team is obviously much more complicated.
Payton, who wants to win a championship and get the last big contract of his career, proved with his actions on the court how much he really doesn't want to play triangle offense.
And Malone, who only wants to win the championship, doesn't care so much, but he has a better relationship with O'Neal, and Payton, but he ignores Kobe's feelings on the court a little.
And what about O'Neill?
As the initiator of this "senior brother basketball", with Kobe's sentence "Shaq is also dry", he who has broken with Kobe Bryant obviously does not have enough ability to deal with the internal problems of this Lakers.
So now the question arises.
How did this "Lakers F4" team reach the finals in Wang Shuo's memory when there are so many internal problems?
The answer is: all hard power, not a little bit of moisture!
No matter how you complain about this Lakers.
None of them can change the absolute advantage they have in a single position.
In the three-second zone, O'Neal easily brushed away Chandler's defense.
This nimble dead fat man managed to score the first two points of the night for the Lakers.
This ball, after the goal, O'Neal did not dare to slack off and quickly retreated to the Lakers half.
Then when he arrived, he found ......
Malone is already preparing to serve the baseline ball.
O'Neill: "......"
No, you are making fun of me?
Lakers: Can we do this? We're desperate too, okay?
On the sidelines, looking at the old arms and legs of the Lakers on the field, the "Zen Master" also underwent a subtle change in his mentality at this moment.
Because he always felt ......
Wang Shuo seems to have a grudge against the Lakers.
No, is it necessary for you to target the Lakers so much in terms of team building ideas?
You've got a bunch of desperate Swingmen in the Wizards.
Why are you in Phoenix, with such a fast offensive team?
Of course, Wang Shuo has no enmity with the Lakers.
It's just that the Suns' quick transition offense is really good for the Lakers.
In the first quarter of the game, in order to stop the Sun's fast attack, the "Zen Master" copied the previous Spurs and Cavaliers' foul laws without any new ideas.
Seeing this, Wang Shuo was not in a hurry.
It wasn't until the Lakers were full of fouls that Wang Shuofang called Iverson to the sideline on a dead ball.
After a few simple whispers, the West Jersey Arena immediately entered Iverson's "one-point ball" show time.
On the sidelines, on the Lakers' bench, looking at Iverson who walked to the free throw line again and again, the "Zen Master" hurriedly asked his think tank: "How can we adjust to stop the Suns' fast break and Allen Iverson's unbridled impact?" ”
The think tank offered: "It's better to replace Gary, although Derrick can't prevent Allen Iverson, but at least, he is full of energy and won't be unable to come back." ”
The "Zen Master" nodded and said, "That's what I mean." ”
Then, the think tank continued: "We can't win this Suns team by defense alone, we have to fight like we did against the Mavericks."
When Derrick comes on the court, we can use Shaq's advantage in the low post to snatch some points back for us, and then wait until the second quarter for us to let Kobe Bryant lead the team. ”
Jackson smiled calmly, "I was going to do this." ”
On the court, in the middle of the first quarter, with the arrival of Fisher, the Lakers immediately stopped their decline on the court.
Truth be told, although in the Finals against the Wizards that year, Fisher was a waste in the eyes of Lakers fans.
However, compared to Payton, who is not willing to play a triangle offense, the Lakers can find the offensive rhythm they are familiar with when he is on the court.
Fisher, of course, couldn't completely restrain Iverson.
But at this time, he is full of physical energy, at least he can follow Iverson and increase the difficulty of Iverson's scoring on the court.
In addition, no matter how fast the Suns' fast attack is, it is impossible to achieve it every time.
After Fisher came on the court, as the Lakers were able to return the three players of Kobe, Fisher, and George in the first place, the old Malone and O'Neal also had plenty of time to return to defense.
In the last game, Chandler, who had just found confidence in front of James, was abused by O'Neal in this game.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
When do you say that solar energy will fight the knight again......
Chandler, who will have a contract year next year, also wants a big contract, right?
Woo woo, miss LeBron James' first day!
In the first quarter of the game, the two teams who played a good game for half a quarter each scored 30-35 in a single quarter.
In the second quarter of the game, the "Zen Master" removed Malone and O'Neal, and left George, who usually has a good relationship with Kobe Bryant on the team, and Fisher, who was left and right between "OK", on the court to assist Kobe.
Compared with the starting lineup, only Dio can match Kobe Bryant in the Suns' second lineup.
Wang Shuo didn't let Bale stay on the court, because in order to make up for Iverson, Bale also had a lot of physical consumption tonight.
As a result, Kobe, who held back for a whole session tonight, can be regarded as having found an opportunity to vent.
Under Kobe's frenzy, the Lakers even overtook the score at one point in the early part of the quarter.
But in this regard, Wang Shuo was not in a hurry.
Because no matter how good Kobe Bryant's hand feels tonight, Wang Shuo believes that someone will prevent him from killing him next.
In the second half of the game, as the two sides successively switched back to the main force, the Lakers' offense immediately began to be constipated again.
On the court, Payton, who noticed that Kobe Bryant had a good hand, didn't want to pass the ball to him because of the feud between Kobe and O'Neal.
It's just because, in the case that Payton doesn't want to play triangle offense, it is difficult for Kobe Bryant to get a single opportunity under the triangle offense system.
Actually, Phil Jackson also saw it.
If they want to play with this Suns, the Lakers will have to let Fisher play more.
But here's the problem......
Do you dare to put Payton, who is not willing to be a tool for his teammates on the court like he will be in the future, to the bench?
Wake up, this TM regular season has just begun, you can't just blow up the team's locker room at the beginning of the regular season, right?
Moreover, due to the extreme physical consumption of defending Iverson, it is impossible for Fisher to play all the time on the court.
In the second quarter of the game, the two teams still played a good half quarter each.
At halftime, the score was 59-65.
After halftime, the Suns were the real killer tonight.
On the court, as Iverson entered the "let go" mode, under the escort of Xiao Si and Marion, the Suns directly opened the score with the Lakers through a wave of streams in this section!
In the continuous internal friction of the Lakers, O'Neal began to gradually weaken after scuttling the first half of the third quarter tonight.
Kobe, who slammed a quarter in the second quarter, was in a good situation, but he kept making up for Payton, and his shooting feel was affected to a certain extent.
"OK" can't open the situation, and this Lakers team can't fight against the Suns.
Hey?
Don't the Lakers still have Malone and Payton?
When ——!
If Payton dares to pass the ball to Kobe Bryant in the face of Kobe's death glare, then he will have to fight Kobe Bryant first after the game.
When ——!
Payton, who also had a bad hand tonight, dared to waste scoring opportunities without Kobe's permission like he did in the round just now, then Kobe Bryant would have to punch him in the waist before the game was over.
At the critical moment, it has to be Fisher, who has been breathing wrong for the past two years, for this Lakers team to find a rhythm of the game.
However, how can the Lakers, who have already dug a huge hole for themselves in the third quarter, fill the hole in the fourth quarter?
On the court, the three-quarter battle ended, 79-99.
In front of the TV, no one dared to say that the Suns were lucky to beat the Spurs and the Cavaliers in succession.
Because who would have thought that before the start of the new season, the Lakers, who were considered the only favorites for the championship, would be so embarrassed by the Suns in this game?
At the beginning of the final quarter, Jackson left O'Neal, Malone, George, Kobe, and Fisher on the court.
The "Zen Master", who knew that the Lakers had to quickly recover the score in the early part of the final quarter, couldn't care about Payton's face at this time.
But after feeling cold for a whole quarter, Kobe Bryant couldn't get through his slam and pull back the situation for the Lakers like he did in the second quarter.
Because in addition to his own feel problems, in the last quarter of the game, Wang Shuo also changed the personnel alignment and used Marion to guard him instead.
In the low post, facing the "hacker" with height and long arms, Kobe Bryant must increase the difficulty of his backing if he wants to complete the shot.
As a result, after Kobe Bryant's wave of "four backs and three irons", the Lakers completely lost their hope of winning on this night.
Looking at O'Neal, who was panting and draining his energy on the court, "Zen Master" withdrew all the team's main players with 7 minutes and 45 seconds left in the quarter.
In the end, the score of the game was 99-124.
Iverson shot 8-of-18 from the field, including 1-of-4 from three-point range and 17-of-21 from the free-throw line, for a total of 34 points, three rebounds and eight assists.
Smalls and Marion scored 18 and 20 points respectively.
On the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant, who shot 11 of 25, counted free throws and three-pointers, and scored a team-high 29 points, 8 rebounds, and 1 assist for the Lakers.
The "Big Shark", who played brilliantly in the first quarter, but then was drained of the water in the pool because of the Lakers' internal friction, shot 8 of 11 from the field and 4 of 6 free throws, cutting 20 points, 10 rebounds, and 3 blocks for the Lakers (the caps were all Iverson).
Malone played 37 minutes in this game, but the statistics were quite spicy, shooting 0 of 4 and 5 of 6 free throws, and only got 5 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists.
Payton Sr. is also unbearable to look at, because even Iverson failed to break up, and he only scored 11 points, 3 rebounds, and 4 assists on 3-of-9 shooting, including free throws and three-pointers.
But you may not believe it.
When the game was dumped after the game, many Lakers fans who only watched the post-game data actually threw the pot to Fisher, the only one who could leave the game with his head held high.
The reason is that Fisher's "waste" image has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and he only scored 5 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists in this game.
After the game, the Lakers, who were in a bad mood after the loss, didn't bother to be interviewed.
At the press conference, when asked about Kobe's off-court negative news and the conflict between him and O'Neal, the "Zen Master" also chose to remain silent.
On the Suns' side, when asked why the Suns could have such a good performance in the new season, Wang Shuo said with a surprised face: "Don't you know that the head coach of this team is me?" ”
Journalists: "......"
The next day, the Lakers, who were overwhelmed by Kobe's negative news, began to be questioned by many people after losing to the Suns.
Some people believe that judging from the game between the Lakers and the Suns, the Lakers are not a championship-level team at all.
Others believe that exposing the team's current problems early is a good thing for the Lakers, because it means they will have plenty of time to solve them.
The Suns, on the other hand, are compared to when Iverson was first traded to Phoenix......
After just three games, Suns fans have fallen in love with the "183" who can always take the team to the ground in the game.
But in the new season, the Suns will surprise people more than that.
On the 5th, 7th, 10th, and 12th, after successively killing the Jazz, Grizzlies, Hawks, and Warriors, compared with the Suns' seven-game winning streak in the new season, what shocked the world even more was that in these seven games, the Suns scored more than 110 points in each game!
On the Utah Plateau on the 5th, facing the Jazz, who are rebuilding, the Suns scored 114 points in a single game.
On the 7th, he returned to the West Jersey Arena to face the Grizzlies, who were also in the process of rebuilding, and the Suns scored 137 points in a single game.
On the 10th, they continued to sit at home, facing the Hawks, who were waiting for a savior with a confused face, and the Suns scored another 128 points in a single game.
On the 12th, he went to Golden State to challenge the current Warriors, and the Suns scored 135 points in a single game.
Although, the Suns' four opponents have lacked gold content in recent times.
But compared to the declining defensive intensity of the NBA in the future, the NBA can play such beautiful offensive basketball in this era, and the offensive storm of the Suns in the new season has already attracted a neutral fan for them.
On Nov. 14, the Suns traveled to Houston and played another beautiful big win on the road.
In this game, which attracted the attention of the Chinese audience, the Sun lost its suspense in only three quarters.
Xiao Yao, who evolved again in the summer, once again made Chandler nostalgic for his "LeBron brother" in the game.
In the whole game, Xiao Yao shot 11 of 19, including free throws, and scored a total of 27 points and 11 rebounds for Space City.
Francis also had 26 points and seven assists.
But relying on Boss Fu and Xiao Yao alone, Space City can't control the gang of fierce men of the sun who wantonly ravage every inch of their position in the game.
The game ended with a full-time score of 121-100.
After the game, Jeff Van Gundy, who replaced Tomjanovich, who retired due to health reasons, as the head coach of Houston XX this season, couldn't figure it out anyway......
Why would the iron-blooded defense line he had carefully constructed for the space city this summer look like paper paste in front of the sun?
But it doesn't matter.
Because when Van Gundy becomes a commentator in the future, he will understand by looking at the player engagement data a few more times.
Trivia.
Although in the duel with Boss F.
But Boss Fold is definitely Iverson's lucky star.
Because in Wang Shuo's memory, the two games with the highest single-game scores in Iverson's career were played against Boss F.
One is 60 points and the other is 58 points.
On November 15, after the Suns returned to Phoenix overnight, they ushered in the first test that the Suns really faced this season in the eyes of Wang Shuo.
In the first game against the Spurs, because the Spurs obviously didn't know enough about the new Suns at that time, in Wang Shuo's view, after winning that game, it didn't mean that the Suns' strength was above the Spurs.
Then, after an easy victory over the Cavaliers, the game against the Lakers also has no reference value in Wang Shuo's eyes.
Because as an "old lake honey", Wang Shuo knows very well how much energy "OK" can burst out in a desperate moment.
Therefore, on the evening of the 15th, the team sat at home to face the Detroit Pistons, and in Wang Shuo's view, it was a key game to test the color of the Suns.
Meixi Stadium, after the warm-up, the big screen immediately gave the roster of both sides of tonight's game.
Pistons: Big Ben, Rasheed Wallace, Prince, Ray Allen, Billups.
Suns: Chandler, Jr., Marion, Bale, Iverson.
Hey?
Wait a minute!
Where did this roaring Tianzun of the Pistons come from?
What about Raheem, whom they traded Milicic and the Grizzlies for?
Where did it go?
A: The Roar was traded for Raheem by the Pistons shortly after the start of the regular season.
Although the trajectory of history has shifted......
But this thing is really wonderful!
Shortly after the start of the new season, after two Raheem games, Carlisle quickly discovered a big problem with the Pistons:
That is, at the critical moment, it seems that the only thing the team can rely on is Billups's sudden cold arrow.
Often the opponent of the Pistons, as long as they get stuck in Ray Allen, the Pistons are easy to attack constipation.
It's not that Raheem, the star power forward, is not good at his individual ability, but after feeling that he is not the real man of the Pistons' No. 4 position, Carlisle immediately looked at the roaring Tianzun in Portland.
Although in terms of success rate, Wallace's straight-arm dry pull is not as outrageous as people have touted.
But at the critical moment, the hard solution ability of this product is what this piston urgently needs.
In Carlisle's view, it doesn't matter if Wallace's hard solution success rate is lower, as long as he can solve hard and cooperate with the defense of this Pistons, the Pistons will not be as passive as before.
Don't look at Carlisle as poor as Larry Brown in terms of defense, but as a more balanced head coach, in a sense, this Pistons Five Tigers who only joined Ray Allen have become stronger under his leadership.
On the outside, except for Big Ben, the other four Pistons can throw it.
And it's thrown more efficiently and concisely than it was in the Larry Brown era.
On the inside, with Big Ben in charge, and Roaring Tianzun from the side, except for O'Neal and Yao Ming, who really can't be solved by Big Ben, it is difficult for any team to do what they want on their inside when facing this Pistons.
In addition, after making up for the team's ability to solve at critical moments, in the stalemate stage, the Pistons, who have a balanced offense and defense, can not only defend, but at the same time, they can also attack!
And on the pitch......
With Chandler jumping for the Suns to open the opener.
This night, this piston also quickly brought a little "piston five tigers" shock to Wang Shuo......
……
