I'm really strong in basketball

Chapter 152 The 2005-2006 Season Begins

At the top of the arc, Rashid firmly blocked White Chocolate.

Billups seized the opportunity and accelerated instantly, forcing Randolph to switch defenses.

When Billups faced Randolph, he used the standard small and big game. Billups broke through at full speed, successfully passed Randolph and entered the penalty area.

However, "Boxing Champion" Chandler was very fast and had already moved to the basket, blocking Billups.

Chandler jumped high, with a height of 216cm and a wingspan of 226cm. His whole body was like an insurmountable barrier, blocking Billups.

Billups' finishing ability at the basket has never been very strong, and this season it has dropped to an unsightly 43.8%.

Facing the defense of Chandler, the future best defensive player, Billups fired an iron at the beginning.

Bang!

At this time, Randolph happened to run to the basket, smoothly collected the rebound, and immediately passed a long pass to White Chocolate, who was about to go down.

White Chocolate went all the way to the frontcourt and scored an easy layup.

Swish!
4: 0.

Pistons attack.

Billups continued to play pick-and-roll with Rasheed.

This guy is really smart. He quickly learned the lesson from the last round and no longer rushed into the penalty area to accept the love of the boxing champion.

Instead, he suddenly stopped near the paint area and took a step-back jumper.

Randolph's brain could keep up with this rapid change of rhythm, but his bulky body did not obey the command and had his own ideas.

I can only watch Billups show off.

Swish!
4: 2.

These two rounds clearly demonstrated Randolph's characteristics.

On the offensive end, Randolph is really strong and extremely brutal.

But on the defensive end, the pace is really slow.

He is a player with obvious advantages and disadvantages.

On the sidelines, coach Nelson already knew it well and had a certain plan for Randolph's use.

On the court, Liu He had an idea without waiting for Nelson's instructions.

It's very simple, make the most of your strengths and avoid your weaknesses.

If Randolph can score, help him score.

Randolph's defense is poor, so help him with defense and help.

The Knicks advanced to the frontcourt, and Liu He kept sinking into the bottom corner step by step, and on the side away from Randolph.

White Chocolate immediately understood Liu He's intention and handed the ball to Randolph in the low post.

The Knicks, four people opened up, Randolph singled out Rasheed.

This time, Randolph pushed forward with Rasheed behind his back, but Rasheed still couldn't resist and retreated steadily.

After getting to the basket, Randolph slammed away Rasheed and made another small left-handed throw, which was extremely soft.

Swish!
6: 2.

The bear-like body shape, coupled with the rejoicing hand feel, is really inconsistent and unnatural.

"Man, you're getting old, so don't stay in this league."

Randolph scoffed unceremoniously.

Rashid rubbed his chest again, his face full of helplessness.

In fact, although Randolph is Rasheed's small substitute, Randolph has always had the advantage when the two faced off in their careers.

The two met 13 times in their careers.

Randolph averaged 19.4 points and 8.8 rebounds per game and shot 46.9% from the field.

Rashid averaged 10.8 points and 6.2 rebounds per game, shooting 39.9% from the field.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Randolph defeated Rashid.

Randolph does have the ability to look down on this senior.

Pistons attack.

Billups continued to play pick-and-roll with Rasheed, targeting Randolph and chasing points from Randolph.

But this time, the two just broke apart.

Facing Randolph, Billups was about to accelerate when Liu He rushed over from the flank. In cooperation with Randolph, two 206cm tall giants stretched out their four long arms and enveloped Billups.

After all, Billups is only 191cm, and his "short" figure instantly lost his vision.

Therefore, height will always be the number one talent in basketball.

If it were Magic Johnson, facing such a flanking attack, his vision would not be affected at all and the pass would be very easy.

Billups passed the ball in a hurry, and the intention was too obvious. The experienced Hill seized the opportunity and intercepted it halfway.

The Knicks took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, and Hill dunked with one arm in the frontcourt.

boom!
8: 2.

Pistons attack.

The cunning and clever Billups also started to get a little confused. He clearly caught the Knicks' weakness, so how could they lose more and more as they played?

Billups, who couldn't figure it out, continued to stare at Randolph, trying to train him.

However, Liu He's pincer attack was more determined.

Billups was prepared to play the ball early and passed the ball to Prince before Liu He pounced on him.

However, because the ball was released early, the quality was not high.

Liu He did not stay away from Prince. He took one step back and rushed back, standing in front of Prince.

Prince took a hasty shot and once again contributed to the crooked basket.

Bang!

Under the basket, the two rebounding monsters "short and fat rebounder" Randolph and "thin and tall spring man" Chandler were firmly watching the basket and protecting the rebound.

Randolph took advantage and threw a long pass like a shot put directly into the frontcourt.

White Chocolate had just received the ball. Facing the entangled Billups, he made an exquisite behind-the-back pass to Liu He who was catching up behind him.

Liu He caught the ball, took off, and completed the aerial work directly above Billups.

boom!
10: 2.

The entire Madison Square Garden Arena was in an uproar.

Tonight, the Knicks got off to a perfect start, vowing to avenge last season's Eastern Conference Finals loss.

Beep!
Coach Flip Saunders called a timeout.

The Pistons were shut down.

TNT studio, Kenny Smith explained: "It seems that Randolph has perfectly integrated into the Knicks. He has made the Knicks stronger instead of becoming a time bomb. In this way, everyone in the league has All teams should be careful, this Knicks team is stronger."

Cole explained from another angle: "On the offensive end, Liu He sacrificed his own shots to let Randolph attack. On the defensive end, Liu He helped Randolph assist and supplement defense. When I meet such a boss, I I think any player can integrate as quickly as possible. Isn't it? Basketball is a team sport, and someone always has to make sacrifices. As the team boss, Liu He is qualified to refuse sacrifices, but he does not. I believe that Lando My husband will be very happy in New York because he has met the perfect boss."

Smith and Barkley were speechless for a moment, you are such a "Liu Chui", this disease has penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

But thinking about it carefully, there seems to be nothing wrong with it.

CCTV live broadcast room.

Teacher Zhang Weiping said: "Ah haha, tonight coach Phillip Sanders is eyeing the defensive black hole of Randolph, and wants Billups to use his speed to keep beating Randolph. Who knows Coach Nelson was well prepared and knew you would do this. He had already asked Chandler and Liu He to defend Randolph. Now it was better. Not only did the Pistons not take advantage, they also fell into the trap of Nelson again and again. In a good trap.”

Yu Jia nodded repeatedly: "Sure enough, Coach Nelson is better!"

Soon, the timeout ended and both sides returned to the court.

As soon as Billups came up, facing White Chocolate, he pretended to stand still and observe the situation, but suddenly took action.

A sudden cold arrow, this is Billups's style.

Swish!
10: 5.

This three-pointer was crucial, and it instantly narrowed the gap that was about to open.

This is Billups' ability. It's unrealistic to expect him to score like Jordan and Kobe.But when the team is in crisis, he can always score a goal from time to time to help the team survive.

The Knicks attack.

White Chocolate was about to lob the ball to Randolph, who was feeling hot.

But Billups stayed close to White Chocolate and used his height to block White Chocolate from passing the ball to the low post.

When Liu He saw this scene, he immediately ran to the top of the arc to catch the ball.

Facing Liu He, Prince did not dare to imitate Billups and stick to the defense, because if he got too close, Liu He could pass him in one step.

And even if Liu He doesn't break through, Prince won't do that, because there is no advantage in height and he can't block Liu He's pass.

Liu He's height of 206cm is a bug on the outside, and his field of vision is completely unobstructed.

Liu He held the basketball high, threw it in gently, and handed it to Randolph.

Randolph pushed away Rasheed and turned around for a jumper.

Bang!

It's a pity that I couldn't score this time.

Under the basket, Chandler leaped high and relied on his height and long arms to hit the rebound over Ben's head and try to make a tip-in.

Bang!

It's a pity that Big Ben gave enough interference and Chandler couldn't make up for it.

However, here Randolph relied on his round body to get stuck in position, grabbed the rebound in front of Rasheed, and tipped in again.

Double Wallace provided enough confrontation for Randolph to hit another iron.

Bang!

On the other side, Chandler jumped high and grabbed another offensive rebound.

In one round, he grabbed three rebounds, and the New York fans at the scene were entertained.

Randolph and Chandler sieved the Pistons' restricted area.

Coach Sanders on the sidelines was so anxious that he jumped up.

The restricted area guarded by the double Wallaces can be called Detroit's no-fly zone, which is unique in the league.

Tonight, they were riddled with holes by the Knicks. I can only say that Randolph and Chandler are too good, and their ability to fight and rebound is too strong, especially their offensive rebounding ability.

Randolph averaged 9.1 rebounds per game in his career, including 2.9 offensive rebounds.

Chandler averaged 9 rebounds per game in his career, including 3 offensive rebounds.

These two people can really steal.

This time, Chandler did not take random shots, but first protected the rebound and then handed it to Liu He from the outside.

Liu He faced Prince, presented a triple threat, and suddenly pulled up.

Swish!
12: 5.

The whole process was clean and neat, without any sloppiness, and it was extremely easy.

Coach Zhang Weiping commented: "Liu He's scoring now is as simple as eating and drinking. It's so easy!"

Pistons attack.

White Chocolate kept a close eye on Billups this time, fearing that he would make another sudden attack.

Billups had no chance to take action and could only pass the ball to his teammates.

Rasheed caught the ball and turned his back to Randolph.

Randolph defended extremely fiercely, took the initiative to fight, and faced Rashid fiercely.

Rasheed was knocked to the point where he could hardly stand. Randolph was really fierce!Amazing strength and strong in confrontation.

But Rasheed is not a vegetarian. He turns around and breaks through, uses his speed to get rid of Randolph, and then stretches his long arm to throw.

However, Chandler on the other side was very fast and came over in time to interfere.

Rashid's shot failed to score.

Bang!

Relying on his super-fast bounce, Ben jumped high, grabbed the offensive rebound, and then took off a second time to make a make-up shot.

As a four-time best defensive player, Big Ben's offensive rebounding ability is also excellent, but his offense.
Chandler just stretched out his long arms and caused some interference.

Big Ben's shot hit the rim.

Bang!

Chandler immediately collected the rebound and did not give Big Ben another chance.

The Knicks attack.

This time, the Pistons retreated quickly and did not give the Knicks a chance to play a fast break.

The increasingly calm White Chocolate suppressed the rhythm and waited until all his teammates ran to the front before starting to stop the attack.

Randolph took the ball and attacked.

Ben quickly moved over and cooperated with Rashid to help defend.

Randolph faced the tough defense of Double Wallace and failed to score again this time.

However, Randolph actually used his black bear-like figure to squeeze through the double Wallace, grabbed the rebound, and then handed it to Chandler, and used his generous body to block the double Wallace.

Chandler caught the ball and dunked.

boom!
14: 5.

The Pistons' most proud defense, which is also the team's capital for victory, was penetrated by the Knicks tonight.

Coach Phillip Sanders was really anxious now. He stood on the sidelines and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Defense! Do your damn defense! Protect every damn rebound! Don't let me defend out of position again. Just get off here!"

Ben and Rashid clenched their fists as they listened to the coach's roar.

Pistons attack.

Hamilton used Rasheed's screen to run out of the open space, received a pass from Billups, and shot.

Swish!
14: 7.

The Knicks attack.

Randolph continues to attack in the low post.

Rashid gritted his teeth and resisted the collision of the black bear again and again, looking very embarrassed.

But Randolph failed to score despite Rasheed's desperate blocking.

Ben stuck Chandler, jumped hard, and protected the rebound.

The Pistons took advantage of the situation and launched a defensive counterattack. Prince received a pass from his teammate and scored with a one-arm dunk.

boom!
14: 9.

In the next round, Randolph still failed to score, allowing the Pistons to launch a defensive counterattack. Billups caused a foul on White Chocolate's thugs during the offense and received two free throws.

Billups made two free throws steadily and scored 2 points.

14: 11.

Relying on their tough defense, the Pistons launched a 6-0 offensive wave and quickly narrowed the point difference to 3 points.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire Madison Square Garden Arena became low, and the New York fans became nervous. Is this going to be a comeback?
At the critical moment, Liu He took the initiative to ask for the ball and faced Prince one-on-one at the top of the arc.

After a series of tentative steps, while Prince was forced to retreat, Liu He simply pulled it up and flicked his wrist in the air.

The basketball drew a parabola and accurately penetrated into the basket.

Swish!
17: 11.

Prince put his hands on his hips and looked helpless. He really couldn't guard Liu He.

As a wing gate, Prince's defensive advantage is his height and long arms, and his body is taller than his opponents.

But facing Liu He, all these advantages were gone.

In the TNT studio, Cole explained with a smile: "New York fans, there is no need to worry. When the team is in trouble, Liu He will take action!"
