God of NBA point guards

Chapter 35 The Anxiety of Gloves

On November 11, the Pistons returned to Detroit.

On the second day, we ushered in the challenge of the Western Supersonics.

Affected by the three-game winning streak, the attendance rate of the Palace of Auburn Hills reached [-]% tonight, which is the best result since the start of the season.

Isiah Thomas will return at the end of the month. The management expects that after the return of the Smiling Assassin, the strength of the team will increase and the attendance rate will further increase.

At eight o'clock, the two sides announced the starting lineup.

Sonics: Benoit Benjamin, Shawn Kemp, Michael Cage, Ricky Pierce, Gary Payton
Pistons: John Salley, Orlando Ulrich, Dennis Rodman, Joe Dumars, Joo Kwon.

The game was broadcast live across the United States by ESPN TV, and the commentators were Rock Howard and Larry Winston.

Howard said: "Last season, the Supersonics were eighth in the Western Conference in the regular season. They were eliminated by the Trail Blazers in the first round. So far this season, they have 6 wins and 3 losses, with a winning percentage of 66.6%. , but recently the Pistons have stabilized and won three consecutive victories, and the two teams should play a wonderful game tonight."

Winston analyzed: "The Pistons selected the Iron Fist Slayer. In the five games he participated in, he lost two and won three. His personal performance also made him No.4 in the latest rookie rankings. His performance can be expected. , the No. 17 pick in the first round, the Pistons should be said to have picked up a bargain, Mr. McCloskey, the general manager, has a good vision, and he has selected the successor of the smiling assassin."

Howard couldn't help laughing, and said: "Iron Fist was a little anxious, eager to take over, and personally killed Isiah Thomas."

Winston also laughed, and finally shook his head and said: "He is not wrong about this matter, so we won't mention it.

What I want to say now is that after my careful observation and analysis, Tekken is another anomaly for the No. [-] position besides the magician. "

Howard also became serious, nodded and said: "His height has no disadvantages in the first position, and his tonnage and strength are far superior to other point guards. Nowadays, the average point guard is around 80 kg, and there are very few who reach 85 kg, but He reached 95 kilograms, an absolute heavy point guard, with the highest muscle content in the league's guard line.

On the offensive end, he can crush opponents, even if he switches defenses, such as Jordan, he can't withstand his violent crushing.And he has a good pass and good vision. If you trap him outside, the defense will suffer a lot.

Of course, his offense is mediocre now, and no one will trap him outside, but this is more conducive to him slowly approaching the paint area through a crushing breakthrough.

On the defensive end, so far, no point guard can beat him, because no one can break through his defensive barrier. Huge tonnage and broad shoulders can create a large defensive barrier.

If the small point guard wants to rush over, he has to go around one more step, and he can have enough time and space to complete the retreat.

If he switches to a taller shooting guard, he will have a disadvantage in height, but his excellent wingspan can also make up for part of the disadvantage in height, and his strong body can also create a strong confrontation and affect the opponent's shots.

What I want to say is that if he loses weight and only maintains a tonnage of 90 kg or less, his moving speed, agility, and jumping ability will definitely become better, and his mobility will definitely increase significantly.

At that time, he still has a larger tonnage and confrontation advantage in the first position, and has a stronger maneuverability, and he will become even better. "

Winston said: "In these five games, he averaged 7 assists, 2.2 steals and 2.8 turnovers per game, with an assist-to-turnover ratio of 2.5, an above-level performance, 2.2 steals, and not the kind of risky steals. , and the defense is also strong."

Howard said: "Currently he controls 41% of the Pistons' possession and averages 7 assists per game. His performance is still good.

The usage rate of the ball is only 17.2%, not many shots, mainly assists, with his low offensive efficiency, this is a sensible way of playing. "

Winston said: "What I want to say is that in this round of three-game winning streak, Iron Fist did a good job defensively. He limited the point guards of the three teams and laid the foundation for the team's victory.

Today, he will face Gary Payton, last year's No. 193 pick. He is 5 cm tall, 82 cm taller than Iron Fist, weighs 13 kg, and is [-] kg lighter.

佩顿本赛季到目前为止，场均31.5分钟，9.4分3.6篮板6.2助攻1.8抢断2.1失误，助攻失误比高达2.95。”

Howard said in an interface: "In terms of passing stability, Payton is higher than Iron Fist. From the perspective of shooting percentage, Iron Fist is barely 45%, Payton is [-]%, and the latter's scoring is more stable. Payton's defense is also good. Not bad, but his stealing ability is slightly weaker.

As for the most critical organizational ability of point guards, I think it is similar, and this point is also comparable in terms of the number of assists. "

Winston nodded and said: "Payton is also based on defense, just like Iron Fist. I think Iron Fist's defense is very good, but it will not be better than Payton.

The data of steals can't explain everything, because Iron Fist has a larger tonnage. When he stabs the ball, his usual method is to force the loser away, so that the loser can't grab it back on the spot, so he is better than Payton. Easier to complete steals. "

"Indeed it is."

Howard nodded and said: "The two entered the league successively, with similar qualifications, equal strength, equal offense and defense, and equal defense. The two of them must be comparing secretly.

Payton is good at trash talking, he is very good at talking, he is good at fighting with iron fist, and his willpower is very firm. There should be a lot of fighting today. "

Winston suddenly smiled and said, "I would like to remind Gary Payton to control the trash talk and don't break the bottom line of Iron Fist, otherwise no one will be able to save you."

"Yes, Lambiel, the Smiling Assassin, and the postman have already demonstrated the results of angering Iron Fist." Howard said with a smile.

At this time, Zhou Quan and his teammates were standing in the player tunnel, opposite the five starters of the Supersonics, and directly opposite him was Gary Payton.

In front of his eyes, there is a task prompt: "Defeat Gary Payton, predict +1."

"Prediction, good stuff."

I am very happy, if the pre-judgment can reach the first-class level, his pre-cognition vision will also improve.

"Why is this guy staring at me and not talking, and I didn't offend him."

Seeing the Iron Fist on the opposite side staring at him, Gary Payton felt a little hairy and uneasy.

No way, although Iron Fist has just entered the league, but the name of the NCAA's first executioner is out, and the record after entering the Pistons is too brilliant. Lambiel and the postman are big villains that the entire league dare not provoke, but now they are all The iron fist was overwhelmed, one retired, and the other was still lying in the hospital.
