Fans are surely aware of the Auburn Hills Palace incident that broke out between these two teams.

However, in fact, in addition to the Auburn Hills palace incident, the daily confrontation between the two teams is also full of friction.

It's just that now with the Smiling Assassin coaching the Pacers, plus a bunch of soft eggs in the Pistons team before, the situation is a little better......

But with Richard coaching the Pistons, the situation has become confusing, and no one knows what the style of this Pistons is at the moment.

Because of the players that Richard got, apart from Nash, fans don't know much about anyone else.

Is there a stubble in this? Is there an iron-blooded tough guy like Big Ben? Is there an old yin X like Bowen?

No one knows......

But it won't take long to find out, because the new season has officially begun!

Auburn Hills Palace Arena, home arena for the Pistons.

Although it is only a preseason game, this preseason game is quite significant, and this is Richard's first public appearance since he coached the Pistons!

Everyone wants to see what the current situation of this Pistons team is......

After Richard took the helm of the Pistons, the action can be said to be quite amazing, and the team was completely cleaned.

In the end, only four players remained, and the other nine players in the 13-man squad were all brought in by Richard.

It's a completely new Detroit Pistons!

Since the end of the bad boy era, the Pistons have been Wang Erxiao's New Year, and every year is not as good as the year, especially in the past two seasons.

Now it's up to Richard to recreate the glory of the Bad Boy Army!

Fans are quite optimistic about Richard, because the Trailblazers that Richard built before are actually a copy of their original bad boy army in the eyes of Pistons fans!

Of course, in terms of strength, the Trailblazers Gangster Legion, or the "Good Boy Army", is much stronger than the Pistons Bad Boy Legion.

But the style is the same, it's all so tough, it's all so bloody.

……

"Take it easy, it's just a pre-season, don't be too tight on the pitch, it's going to affect your performance!"

"I know this game could be the NBA debut for many of you, but don't take this thing too seriously, it's all clouds!"

"You played well in this game, I can't reuse you because of this, you don't play well in this game, I can't abandon you because of this!"

"All in all, take it easy, it's just a pre-season ......"

"Of course, you must have the right attitude on the field!"

Richard saw that the players under his hands were a little nervous, and couldn't help but comfort him.

The three starters, Gerard Wallace, Anderson and Oku, have no experience in an NBA game.

The same is true of Hu Weidong and others on the bench.

In this case, it is quite normal for them to be a little nervous.

Especially Hu Weidong, don't look at his age, but this is the first time he has appeared on the NBA stage......

Although he is not a starter, his heart is also a little throbbing at the moment, and he begins to suffer from gains and losses.

I am afraid that my performance is not good enough and I will disappoint the fans at home......

"Hu, don't think so much, you'll have a perfect career in the NBA!" Richard smiled and comforted.

Hu Weidong nodded, and the more Richard said this, the more nervous he became......

If you really have a perfect career, that's fine, but what if you can't make it?

The shooting rate on the field is cheating and the defense can't be prevented, in that case, even if Richard is his own person, I'm afraid it will be difficult to give him too many opportunities to play.

Then your career is over......

……

"Doot toot!" The referee blew the whistle for the start of the match.

The starters of both sides began to appear.

Pacers' starting lineup: Brad Miller, Jeff Foster, Jalen Rose, Reggie Miller, and this year's rookie Abdul-Jabbar Tinsley.

The management of the Golden State Warriors completely lost patience this offseason, made a massive personnel change to the team, and sold Brad Miller.

It just so happened that the Pacers didn't have Schmitz on their side, and then they took over Brad Miller.

Seeing Richard standing across the court, Miller sighed in his heart......

Time flies, and five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

He entered the league with Big Ben, Raheem and Iverson, all of whom had big ambitions and were ready to compete in the NBA.

Just as Richard predicted, their group will all become All-Stars in the future.

But now Richard's prophecy hasn't fully come true, because Brad Miller hasn't been selected as an All-Star yet.

Big Ben is already the hottest super interior in this league, winning two DPOY, two rebounding kings, two block kings, two All-Star selections, including one start, countless times in the best team and the best defensive team, and even won the honor of double team!

Of course, the most important thing is to win the Finals MVP once!

Although Iverson has never won the championship, he has won two All-Star MVPs, two scoring titles, one steal king, and was also selected to the best team.

He even won a regular season MVP.

At the moment, Iverson is already one of the top two super guards in the league!

As for Raheem, his achievements are indeed inferior to Iverson and Big Ben, but the key statistics are gorgeous, and now he is also in the All-Star team......

Only a poor Brad Miller, not only did he not make it to the All-Star, but he is now abandoned by the team.

Quite miserable......

Now Brad Miller can imagine how uncomfortable he is.

Everyone entered the league in the same batch, and their draft picks are not low, at least much higher than Big Ben, in this case, they are the worst.

This sense of disparity is not something that anyone can accept.

……

Richard stood on the sidelines and nodded at Miller, his earliest proud disciple was indeed quite unsatisfactory at the moment.

However, Richard doesn't have a good way, at most, when he leads the team to the All-Star, he will get Miller into the All-Star, which can be regarded as adding some luster to Miller's dull career!

……

Birdman Anderson went straight to the halfway line to play the jump ball with Miller.

Oku's athleticism is a bit scummy, and this kind of large-tonnage inside line generally doesn't have any decent bounce ability.

The ball in the referee's hand was tossed high and then Anderson dialed it to his own main control Nash.

Nash advanced with the ball, and as soon as he got to the frontcourt, Okouti came up and made a high block for Nash.

I saw Nash take advantage of Oku's blocking and dismantling to shoot directly from the outside three-point line, and then I heard the crisp sound of basketball entering the net.

The two-man blocking tactics of Oku and Nash, they have been training for a long time in the past half month, and judging from the situation just now, the effect is still quite good.

The main reason is that Oku also has an accurate three-point shooting in his hand, and the blocking and dismantling partnership of these two is a great threat on the offensive end.

While Oku and Nash were playing high pick-and-rolls, Birdman Anderson was rushing into the opposition box and was responsible for the rebounds that were about to appear.

As for the remaining Ragabel and Gerard Wallace, they are on the opposite side, waiting for Nash's pass at any time.

That's pretty much the most plausible tactic the Pistons can come up with right now......

The main reason is that the interior lacks an attack point like O'Neal or Xiao O, although Oku's offensive strength is good, but he is an outside player, and the offensive firepower under the basket is limited.

If Oku has good offensive strength under the basket, there is no need to pull out and play with Nash, just let Nash drop the ball and pass it to Oku......

Special affairs, without the top basket offensive inside, the current Trail Blazers can only play blocking and pick-and-roll tactics like the Utah Jazz.

……

Richard watched the opening Pistons hit a three-pointer and nodded with satisfaction.

The effect of the blocking and dismantling tactics is not bad, mainly because Nash and Oku have good ball quotients, especially Nash, who is suitable for any offensive system, and is now playing blocking and dismantling tactics with ease.

……

Pacers head coach Thomas saw the Pistons' pick-and-roll tactics on the sidelines and didn't pay much attention to it.

This blocking and dismantling tactic can basically be said to be the most dick tactic, and any team can use it.

Of course, the effect of using it will definitely be different.

Thomas didn't take the current Pistons too seriously, and after bringing in Brad Miller, his confidence swelled a little, and he felt that he could repeat what Bird had achieved before.

That is, to lead the team to the finals......

……

It's the Pacers' offensive turn, and at the moment Thomas is quite confident in the Pacers' offensive level.

In this game, he is confident that he will completely blow up the Pistons on the offensive end.

But before he could react, the Pacers' possession of the ball disappeared in the blink of an eye......

The Pacers served in the backcourt, and this year's rookie lead control Tinsley had not yet dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and was directly stolen by Nash who was killed on the side.

Nash, who made a successful steal, turned around and rushed towards the Pacers penalty area.

There was no dunk, just a layup......

Let Nash dunk, that's really hard for him, he has played so many years in his career, and he has never completed a dunk in an official game.

There is a record in the wild history that Nash dunked an empty basket against the New York Knicks in 99, but there is no video of this incident, and the credibility is not great.

Of course, Nash can dunk it, and there is a video of his dunk in training when he was younger, but it looks quite reluctant......

……

This time the layup was an easy hit, and Nash had a smile on his face.

He was in good form tonight, it can be said that it was quite hot, and he scored five points in a row in less than twenty seconds after the opening game.

The main thing is that the defense, which has not been very strong, seems to have suddenly opened up tonight.

In normal terms, he feels that his kind of steal action is at most to scare and scare the newcomer Tinsley, and it is unlikely that the steal will be successful......

But when I implemented the steal action just now, I only felt an inexplicable force surging out of my body, and I succeeded in stealing quite easily!

Although Nash has a nickname that Nash is not guarded against, this nickname is actually a bit insulting to Nash......

It's not that he doesn't defend, but his physical fitness is too scum, and no one can prevent it.

In the long run, it will be mixed with the name of being unguarded, which happens to be a perfect match with Ji Bu's attack.

To be precise, Nash shouldn't be called Nash, but even more so Steve - no one can stop - Nash.

The physical fitness is there, even if it can't be prevented, it's okay, and this is nothing to hack.

……

Nash's successful defense just now provoked a burst of cheers from the fans at the scene.

Nash's poor defense is actually quite well-known in the league right now......

The biggest reason why Nelson Sr. was willing to abandon Nash later was because Nash's defense was not good.

Pistons' fans were worried about this, feeling that Nash's defense could be a drag on the team.

But judging by the opening game, it seems that Nash's defense is not as bad as it has been rumored.

However, the target of the steal is the rookie Tinsley, which is also his NBA debut, and it seems quite normal for the rookie to be stealed when he is nervous.

Now it's up to Nash to play a decent defensive intensity in this game.

……

It's another offensive round for the Pacers.

This time it was still Tinsley who controlled the ball and advanced, and he was just stealed by Nash once, this time he must have been smart, even if it was a little slower, and tried not to give Nash a chance to steal.

An An steadily advanced to the frontcourt, and Tinsley called Miller to pull him high to make a pick-and-roll.

The Pacers' main tactic at the moment is also a pick-and-roll tactic, after all, with Brad Miller's existence, it would be a pity not to play block-and-roll.

What made Thomas dumbfounded was that Miller had already mentioned that the high post was ready to block Tinsley, but Tinsley was stealed by Nash when he dribbled around Miller......

After the successful steal, Nash drove at full speed, that is, he didn't have long hair at the moment, otherwise, he would have trotted all the way, and his long hair fluttering was still quite chic......

A dragon to the backcourt, another layup, a successful hit!

The audience was silent, what are you kidding, it seems that this game has just started less than thirty seconds, and Nash has already scored seven points?!

Is this a joke......

Richard was dumbfounded, this terrifying offensive efficiency was really a little too scary.

That's 30 seconds and 7 minutes!

In just 30 seconds, Nash scored 7 points and 2 steals, which was simply invincible......

Thomas didn't react for a while, so he didn't have enough time to fart, and the team was seven points behind?!

Is God playing a joke on himself......

Isn't your piston a little too bullying, this quietly just hit a 7:0 small climax!

"Doot toot!" Thomas didn't think about it, and directly replaced the newcomer Tinsley and replaced the team's old point guard Best.

Originally, he really wanted to develop Tinsley, this newcomer's organizational skills and overall vision are quite good, and the defense is also good, that is, the offense is almost meaningless, otherwise, they Pacers will not be able to get their hands on it.

As a result, as soon as the main game began, it poured cold water on Thomas......

Being tackled twice in a row by a defensive black hole level player is unbearable for any manager.

……

"Sit down and watch and see how the old players play!" Thomas said coldly at Tinsley.

He is a point guard, and he is still the kind of traditional point guard who is quite old-fashioned, and the most despised is the point guard who can't hold the ball......

Apparently now Tinsley is disappointing Thomas.

……

Best came on the pitch and the situation has improved a lot, and the veteran must be very experienced in handling the ball, even if Nash's defensive strength is good at the moment, but if you want to steal Tinsley, it is definitely unlikely.

……

At the beginning, the Pistons played a few rounds of good balls, and it can even be said that the performance was quite amazing.

But as time went on, the team's problems were gradually exposed.

However, Richard did not call a timeout in a hurry like Thomas, he wanted to see if the team's problems could be adjusted by themselves.

He sat on the sidelines, just quietly watching the game on the field, making substitutions from time to time......

Until the end of the first half.

The Trail Blazers, who started with a 7-0 mini-climax, trailed by 10 points at the end of the first half.

That's right, in just two quarters of the game, the Pistons were beaten by 10 points.

Richard was forcing himself to suppress the anger in his heart, and he was afraid that he would explode if he was not careful.

If he is a substitute or a fringe player on the field, then being beaten like this is acceptable to Richard......

But now the question is, Richard has already come up with the team's main lineup, but the result is still spent, how can he accept it!

Among the starting five, Nash's performance made Richard unable to find any fault, but the other four players made Richard a little crazy!

In Richard's opinion, these four people are really not as good as shit.

It was so bad that it didn't have the effect that Richard had imagined!

In this starting lineup, Richard wants a super strong defense, even if the offensive end is a little weaker, it is acceptable.

But now not only can't play on the offensive end, but the defensive end is also loose like a plate of loose sand!

Richard was now very dissatisfied, quite dissatisfied, and returned to the home team's dressing room with a group of players with a grim face.

The players were also silent, looking at Richard's pale face, and felt that something was wrong.

Richard was furious, and it looked like he was still angry that their group of players were not doing well!

Everyone knows that the consequences of angering Richard are serious!
