I am super giant

Chapter 37 Lost (two more)

At the end of the half, the score was 43:42, and the Pistons led by 1 point into the second half.

In the early 21s, this kind of low score was common, after all, most coaches have a coaching philosophy that defense wins.

In the third quarter, Larry Brown sent in a more formal facelift.

Center forward: Rebrascia.

Forwards: Ben Wallace and Prince.

Guards: Billups and Hamilton.

Not to be outdone, Paul also deployed a lineup of 4 starters and 1 substitute.

Center forward: Ilgauskas.

Forwards: Boozer and Darius.

Linebackers: Ricky Davis and McInnis.

The lineup Paul arranged is not only to deal with the Pistons, but also to balance the team's two outside cores.

In the first half, James led the team for a long time, and Davis basically sat on the sidelines.

Paul was afraid that Davis would have opinions, so he adopted a balanced tactic.In the second half, Davis led the team and James sat on the bench.

But Ye Feng just wanted to ask, it is acceptable to play like this in the preseason, but do you still play like this in the regular season?

Which team's dual-core team has always had to fight separately, not to mention weakening the team's strength, it is also easy to cause different factions among the team, which will lead to conflicts.

According to Ye Feng's thinking, Paul should be ruthless and make a choice. James and Davis will only keep one of them, and the other will be exchanged for some powerful role players or future draft picks, so as to maximize the benefits.

In fact, not only Ye Feng thought so, but the chief assistant coach Brandon also reminded Paul many times.

It's a pity that Paul still has the illusion that James and Davis can one day coexist and have a good chemical reaction.

Indecision and constant determination are definitely a major flaw in Paul's character.

And this shortcoming will cause the Cavaliers to suffer a lot in the near future.

beep~
At the start of the game, Davis asked for the ball after halftime, and then began his best forced breakthrough.

His physical talent is indeed better than Hamilton, and Hamilton can't guard him.

But the paint area with Big Ben and the paint area without Big Ben are not the same concept at all.

The most important significance of Daben is not averaging a dozen rebounds per game.It's not an exaggerated average of 3.75 blocks per game, but his league's first full-court defense and assist defense ability.

No matter who it is, as long as he enters the paint area of ​​the Pistons, Big Ben will appear immediately and block his way.

Then taking advantage of this time difference, the 206cm Prince, the 201cm Hamilton, and the 191cm Billups will swarm in, and the future will be surrounded and completely killed.

You must know that 191 cm is the height of many shooting guards, but Billups is playing point guard.

201 cm is the height of a small forward, but Hamilton is playing shooting guard.

206 cm can already play a power forward, but Prince is a small forward.

The Pistons' perimeter trio is a class above the typical perimeter team.

Facing the encirclement and suppression of such three people, who can bear it, not to mention that there is a bloody battle in front of Da Ben, who is guarding the last line of defense.

As soon as Davis entered the paint, he was immediately surrounded by the Pistons foursome.

Not to mention shooting, even the passing line was blocked.

Davis was originally a small forward, and his height of 201 centimeters is not short, but once he was surrounded by the Pistons, he felt like he was in prison, not to mention his actions, and his vision was swayed by the arms everywhere. up.

But Davis is also a star player anyway, so he won't be directly shut down by the Pistons.

After a few feints, while the Pistons were moving, Davis saw the opportunity and passed the ball directly through the gap.

McGinnis, who was outside the three-point line, received the ball and found that no one was defending within two meters of his body. He adjusted his shooting posture and threw the ball decisively.

boom!
It's a pity that McGinnis felt really cold today, and he hit the iron again.

Rebracia protected the backcourt rebound for the Pistons and immediately handed it over to Billups, who went straight to the fast break.

If Ye Feng was present, Ye Feng would definitely try his best to entangle Billups. After all, Billups is the fastest running point of the Pistons and also the point with the strongest organizational ability.As long as he is strangled, the Pistons' fast break will be turned off.

Besides, Billups had educated Ye Feng in this way not long ago, and Ye Feng remembered it deeply.

But McGinnis has no such awareness at all. Apart from retreating to the backcourt to seize the defensive position, he has no intention of delaying Billups at all.

As soon as Billups ran, Prince and Hamilton followed, and Ben's movement speed was not slow.

On the other hand, the Cavaliers, the big Z is 221 centimeters tall and can't run. Boozer and Davis ran a few steps and found that they couldn't catch up, so they stopped chasing directly.

Only Darius and McGinnis retreated with all their might.

But the backcourt has 4 defenses and 2 defenses. How could these two people stop the Pistons? Billups hit the ground and passed it to Hamilton. Hamilton threw the ball to the basket without stopping, and Ben flew up.

Bang!
Alley-oop, two-handed dunks.

Darius and McGinnis could only look at the ocean and sigh, helpless.

The Pistons fans immediately erupted, and cheers filled the Palace of Auburn Hills.

Daben, who averaged less than 10 points per game, scored all his points, and the fans were of course excited about his rare and wonderful dunk.

45: 42.

The Cavaliers had the ball, and Davis, who had a bad breakthrough, started the three-point mode, but unfortunately he failed to score under Hamilton's marking.

In turn, Hamilton attacked with the ball, and Davis' lazy defense did not put too much pressure on him at all.

Swish!
Hamilton easily hit the mid-range shot to help the Pistons widen the gap.

47: 42.

Looking back, the Pistons seized the weakness of the Cavaliers' inaccurate three-pointers and began to shrink their formation again.

The Cavaliers played more and more ugly, and once again fell into scoring difficulties.

刚打了5分钟，活塞打了一波11：2的小高潮，把比分变成了54：44，又变成了10分的差距。

The Cavaliers' only score was actually scored by Boozer who grabbed an offensive rebound.

Paul couldn't sit still, took advantage of a dead ball, and quickly replaced Darius with Ye Feng, let Ye Feng play shooting guard, hoping that Ye Feng could use three-pointers to help the team break through the offensive dilemma.

Davis, who mentioned the small forward position, saw Ye Feng coming on the field, and ordered carelessly: "Rookie, go directly to the three-point line later, and help me open the Pistons' defense. If there is a good opportunity, I will give you a pass." ball."

"By the way, I'll leave that undead Hamilton to you, that guy is really annoying!"

Ye Feng suddenly felt cold, and it was no problem for him to defend the 201cm Hamilton. After all, Hamilton is good at catching and shooting, and rarely plays singles.I just need to keep up with Hamilton's footsteps, and I don't have to worry too much about the height gap.

What Ye Feng really didn't believe was that Davis said that he could pass the ball, the data brush, ha ha!
Sure enough, throughout the second half, Ye Feng only received one pass, and that was when he was given a two-meter space by Hamilton.

Ye Feng's three-pointer is accurate, but what's the use if he can't catch the ball?

Hamilton resolutely gave up the close-range marking of Ye Feng, and strengthened the contraction and harassment of the inside line.

But on the defensive end, Hamilton was surprised by Ye Feng's performance.

This little yellow-skinned defender ran really fast and aggressively.

Hamilton's level of running open shots is the best in the league, but throughout the second half, Hamilton found that the kid was staring at him, not giving himself any comfortable shooting opportunities.

"Hey, this matchup is very interesting. You may not know that although there is a difference of 13 centimeters, Hamilton is Ye's NBA template. Ye is also a guy who can't run to death and is good at catching and shooting. Before entering the NBA, Ye's position is also the same. Shooting guard."

Smith said with interest in the commentary room.

It's a pity that Ye Feng, who couldn't get the ball, couldn't use his shooting ability at all.

Throughout the second half, except for a three-pointer and defense, Ye Feng was doing meaningless back and forth runs.

On the other hand, Hamilton, with the cover of Big Ben and Prince, got a lot of shooting opportunities, and Davis didn't make up the defense at all.

Under such circumstances, Hamilton shot the Cavaliers' defense alone.

At the end of the third quarter, the score became 63:52.

In the fourth quarter, the head coaches of the two sides tacitly did not play the main force, but practiced tactics with a rotation lineup and marginal players. The game was tepid, and there was not much suspense. Ye Feng did not get another chance to play.

At the end of 48 minutes, the Pistons beat the Cavaliers 86:79 and won their first preseason victory.

The Cavaliers started the season with a loss.

In the whole game, Hamilton made 17 of 12 shots and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 28 points and was the scoring leader of the game.

比卢普斯16分3板7助攻，大本8分14板3盖帽，普林斯10分5板，奥库10分7板。

On the Cavaliers' side, James, the best performer, made 10 of 4 shots, 3 of 0 three-pointers, 7 of 5 free throws, scored 13 points, and had 8 rebounds and 7 assists, hitting a quasi-triple double.

戴维斯19投5中，三分球6中1，罚球4中4，拿到15分5板3助攻，但是命中太感人。

Big Z lacked the desire to attack and only scored 6 points and 8 rebounds.Boozer was fierce, scoring a team-high 16 points and 9 rebounds.

麦金尼斯9中2，三分4中0，只得4分。

叶风全场出战18分钟，三分球3中3，得到9分2板2助攻，算是不错的开局了。
