Chapter 387: The Lost Rookies (Part I)
In the cold, steely Motor City arena, the Warriors players were secretly surprised. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Pistons, when they hear the name, come up with a scene of iron-clad defense, and the team here has become the top team in the league in the last three to five years.
Now, with the maturity of the "Little Prince" Prince, the Pistons Five Tigers have been completely formed, and the starting lineup is extremely terrifying.
Billups, Hamilton, Prince, Rashid Wallace, Ben Wallace in his prime.
Dunleavy, who had been off for a month or so, recently returned and squeezed Ariza to the bench, and the Warriors fielded a lineup of Byron Davis, Danny Granger, Mike Dunleavy, Jandy and Tyson Chandler.
Danny Granger swallowed his saliva secretly, looked at Big Ben's arms, which were thicker than Yang Di, and sweated for the skinny Chandler.
The Pistons' starting five and the Warriors' starters stood on the court together, and the referees walked to the center circle to prepare for kickoff.
Yang Di estimates that the Pistons' starting five should all be A+ level players or above, and they will fluctuate slightly according to their status.
Chandler jumped to win Big Ben, and the Warriors had the first wave of offensive possession.
"Boy, you actually switched to playing power forward?"
"Isn't it strange? I can play a lot of positions and I'll play as a centre-forward. ”
Yang Di didn't care, he always thought that the choice to play power forward was the right choice, the weight of the big forward was slightly lower, and the personal loss was not so great.
"A power forward isn't as easy to defend as a center, you're thinking too simply!" Rashid Wallace said in a deep voice, a hint of disdain on his face.
"Hmph, why don't you try?" Yang Di is-for-tat, and his momentum is not weaker than Wallace.
At this time, Byron Davis, who controlled the ball on the outside, beckoned to Yang Di and motioned for Yang Di to come out to block him.
Billups immediately clung to the Byron Davis defense, reached for the ball, and his strong body rolled over to give him great physical contact.
Davis was slapped on the arm, and the ball was almost knocked off.
The referee turned a blind eye, here, a little action will not be blown at all, and the standard of blowing judgment in this place is different.
Wallace grabbed Yang Di's clothes and took a step with his right foot, grabbing ahead of time to delay Byron Davis' dribble.
Billups shouted, "Back off." ”
Then followed by Byron Davis, and wiped it by Yang Di's side, although Davis had a momentary position advantage, but when he did not choose a long shot, this advantage was immediately eaten away by Billups, who caught up.
Then Yang Di, who went down, didn't get absolute space, and Rashid Wallace was also the league's most organic interior line.
The Warriors failed in their pick-and-roll tactics, and after Byron stopped the ball, he turned around with his strong body and hoisted the ball into Granger's hands outside.
Hamilton, wearing a mask, pounced on him and clung to Granger.
Granger rightfully opted for the breakaway, stepping out with his left foot to the right in an attempt to get past Hamilton's defence with a side-to-side cross.
But at this time, Hamilton took a step forward, and the two bodies touched and collided together.
A large hand suddenly appeared, like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity to float, and it was precisely pointed at the basketball in Granger's hand, and the basketball came out of his hand with a strong force.
"What!"
Granger's face changed, and when he turned his head, he saw that a blue figure with a number 22 was already running wildly.
Tyshawn Prince!
What did he appear and how did he help defend so fast!
The Warriors didn't have time to retreat, and only Davis was alone, and he had more than enough heart but not enough strength.
The Prince Tomahawk Split, although it has no strength, is still very ornamental with Superman's bounce.
"Bang dang!"
The rim trembled, and the Pistons led the Warriors 2-0.
"There weren't many counterattacks in a game, and I was beaten up in the opening game." Yang Di shook his head, Danny Granger's breakthrough was too simple, and it was reasonable to be cut off by the Pistons.
The Warriors attacked, Davis did not choose to block, and the wings Danny Granger and Mike Dunleavy both ran at the same time.
With two shooters, the Pistons were forced to open up space as well, with Hamilton and Prince following closely behind their respective defenders, and the Warriors using cross-running to confuse their vision.
There was very little cheering in the stadium, and the grinding sound of sneakers running on the floor was clearly audible.
If it weren't for the large number of cameras still set up and the staff with signs, Yang Di would have even thought that this was a training match.
The running didn't work, with Byron Davis and Chandler blocking and then going to the elbow area and making a second pick-and-roll with Young.
After the double-block pick-and-roll on the same side, Davis was one position ahead of Billups, slowed down, and prepared for a jumper.
Rasheed Wallace stepped forward and Byron Davis jumped in the air, and he jumped up with his long arms waving interference.
"What a quick defensive transition!"
Byron Davis was taken aback, his hands shaking, and he was afraid that he would be raised by the hat.
Yang Di saw that Davis was not in the right rhythm, and immediately turned around and ran into the inner line, and the big book of the explosive head quietly moved a step sideways, killing the owner Yang Di.
Two of the NBA's most powerful interior players are engaged in hand-to-hand combat.
The steel-cast arms are coiled together, two years ago, Yang Di and Da Ben fought against each other, mostly at a disadvantage, and now his strength has increased significantly, breaking through to the S level, although it is not as good as the peak S+ level like Big Ben, but in the confrontation with the height and arm span advantage, it is not far behind.
Coincidentally, the rebounding ball bounced between the two.
"Mine!"
Yang Di and Big Ben roared at the same time, and then jumped up together in no particular order.
Big Ben is 32 years old, and the bounce power inevitably declines slightly, but Yang Di is still on the rise, and there is a big gap when this fall rises.
Yang Di's fingertips were the first to touch the basketball, and the first touch would have a great advantage.
He hooked his fingers slightly, then landed and turned, jumped high again, and grabbed the rebound in the baseline position.
The Pistons players set off a storm in their hearts, "Yang Di was able to grab a defensive rebound in front of Big Ben, who was completely in a position!" ”
This is simply incredible, you know, Big Ben has always been a leader in NBA backcourt rebounding protection, and at his peak, he could grab an average of 11.4 backcourt rebounds per game, which is more than the backcourt rebounds that Yang Di grabbed last year.
Is it really the good waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves?
Big Ben also couldn't believe that Yang Di actually had such strong strength and rebounding skills, and at this time he was stuck behind Yang Di, feeling very close to the basket and dangerous.
