In this game, the starting lineup of the Raptors at home is: center - Serge Ibaka, power forward - Pascal Siakam, small forward - DeMar DeRozan, shooting guard - Ying Xiong, point guard - Jeremy Lin.

The starting lineup of the Pistons in the away game is: center - Andre Drummond, power forward - Blake Griffin, small forward - Stanley Johnson, shooting guard - Reggie Baroque, point guard - — Ismail Smith.

The commentators for this game are Kevin Harlan and Mark Jackson.

"Mark, if Toronto wins this game again, it will be a 25-game winning streak. My God, if two consecutive 25+ winning streaks are won in one season, this should be the first time in NBA history?" Kay Wen Haran said with a smile.

"I don't know the outcome of this game, but Toronto has been creating records this season, I think they will not easily let this opportunity slip away from their own hands." Mark Jackson said.

"The opposite is the Twin Towers combination. Why doesn't Devin play Jonas and continue to let Serge and Pascal start the two flexible insiders?" Kevin Harlan continued to ask.

"I think Devin should just regard this game as a simple regular season! Moreover, the combination of Sergi and Pascal is not clear how effective it will be against Andre and Blake! If it comes It’s not too late for him to join Jonas when he suffers inside. On the other hand, Serge and Pascal’s offensive movement and outside shooting will also make Andre suffer a lot!” Mark Jackson explained road.

Ibaka and Drummond prepare the jump ball near the middle circle, and the game is about to start.

Drummond beat Ibaka with a jump ball, the Pistons won the first wave of offensive balls, and the game officially began.

Ismail Smith dribbles across half court.

Griffin received the ball in a high position, faced Siakam's defense, used his strong body to rush in, and after encountering a flank attack, he distributed it to Reggie Baroque on the left.

Reggie Baroque bursts again and shoots - no!
Ibaka hit the ball, Jeremy Lin got the ball, counterattacked with the ball, 3 for 1 in the frontcourt!

Jeremy Lin gave the ball to Ying Xiong, who was going down from the right wing. The latter faced Ismail Smith who was about to make an offensive foul with 1 defense at the basket. Buckle it!
The Raptors take the lead!
"Beautiful! Ismail was dumbfounded by the handling of the ball!" Kevin Harlan laughed.

"Detroit must pay attention to retreating and making mistakes. The opponent's transition attack is too fast. If you don't return to the defense quickly, you will not be able to keep up." Mark Jackson said.

For the Pistons, Griffin at the top of the arc cooperated with the guard in the pick-and-roll, and suddenly made a mid-range shot-yes!
The two sides draw!

"Blake's shooting can be regarded as practiced, although the posture is not very beautiful!" Kevin Harlan laughed.

"This is very important. If you want to prolong your career, whether it is inside or outside, accurate shooting is indispensable. For an explosive insider like Blake, shooting can not only make him more difficult to guard. , and can also reduce your physical consumption. After all, you can’t dunk a dunk for a lifetime, otherwise it will be difficult to transform due to injuries all over your body!” Mark Jackson said.

Jeremy Lin dribbled the ball over, and Ibaka and Ibaka picked and rolled at the top of the arc, breaking through to Yingxiong from the outside.

Ying Xiong's ball was not sticky, and then split the arc to top Ibaka.

Ibaka made a 3-point shot-no!
Zhuang Shen accepted the rebound and handed it to Ismail Smith to advance.

Zhuangshen received the ball from the inside, facing Ibaka's defense, squeezed in forcefully, and missed the hook!
Zhuang Shen snatched himself freely, and hooked his hand again——no!

Ying Xiong accepted the rebound and handed it to Jeremy Lin to dribble over.

"Andre rebounds so well, but his offensive hands are really hard to use!" Kevin Harlan laughed.

"If he is more sure of the basket, the threat will be greater, and the opponent should flank him!" Mark Jackson said.

Ying Xiong received the ball in the frontcourt and faced Stanley Johnson's defense.

When Stanley Johnson was selected by the Pistons, he hoped to train him into his own Paul George, but a few years later, he became a featureless wing with rough offense and one-sided defense, which was disappointing. .

However, Stanley Johnson has a higher heart than the sky. He believes that as long as he gets enough opportunities, he can become a very good player and enter the All-Star.Therefore, he also worked extra hard when defending Yingxiong!
But it was the same thing, because he was too active, and Stanley Johnson was late for an off-ball foul soon!

The Raptors served up the frontcourt and the game continued.

DeRozan received the ball from the outside and gave it to Ying Xiong who cut out from the right wing.

Facing Stanley Johnson, Ying Xiong made a breakthrough with his right hand after three threats, shook the opponent away after in-out, accelerated, cut in along the baseline, and faced Zhuang Shen, who was helping to defend him, with one hand. frame!
"What a cool singles!" Kevin Harlan exclaimed excitedly.

The Raptors lead 4:2!

For the Pistons, Stanley Johnson took the ball and played Yingxiong in singles. He changed his direction with the ball and did not shake his opponent away.

The home team fans at the scene gave a needle of laughter.Their laughter conveyed a message, that is, you don't weigh your own weight, but you dare to single out the league's number one superstar who has won two best defensive players so recklessly.
The Raptors attacked, stabbed in the frontcourt, and kept distributing the ball, and finally the ball reached Yingxiong in the bottom corner.

Ying Xiong raised his sword and made a 3-point shot - a steady hit!
The Raptors lead 7:2!So far in the game, Ying Xiong made all 3 shots and scored all 7 points of the team.

"Toronto doesn't play inside, it makes Detroit very uncomfortable!" Kevin Harlan said.

"Because there is a threat from the perimeter, you can use sudden points to mobilize the opponent's defense without listening. On the other hand, Detroit's perimeter threat is too small. There is no stable shooting point among the starting five. If it is still there, at least it can open up space." Mark Jackson said.

The game continued, Zhuang Shen received a second pass from Ismail Smith at the basket, and was deliberately fouled by Siakam during the dunk!

Zhuang Shen walked to the free throw line, but missed both free throws...

Ibaka received the rebound and handed it to Jeremy Lin to advance.

"Andre's free throw is really worse than Dwight, probably about the same as DeAndre!" Kevin Harlan was speechless.

"If a big center is not accurate in free throws, it is always a hidden danger. At critical moments, the head coach dare not put him on the court!" Mark Jackson said.
