you are all star

Chapter 460
The Pistons have entered the playoffs as the top three in the Eastern Conference for two consecutive years. The regular season record is really good. How capable is this civilian team? All fans have opened their eyes and sat on the sidelines waiting for the game to start.

This game started relatively early and was held at one o'clock in the morning. Therefore, some players and fans may not be in a good state, because everyone is drowsy at this node. However, thankfully, the nightlife of the city of Detroit It is still popular. Usually, except for children and the elderly, most middle-aged people are living a slow nightlife. This is why the arena is still crowded with people. At the same time, tonight is also an exception. Old people and children can be seen everywhere in China. Why?Perhaps because this game is the opening game of the playoffs, the sense of ceremony needs to be stronger. After all, the Pistons have not touched the floor of the Finals for more than ten years, let alone win the O'Brien Cup. Therefore, even if they Sleepy also decided to watch this game. In this country, a good start is half the battle. Moreover, every game in the NBA is lively, restless, cheering everywhere, and sometimes every time a goal is scored, there will be a burst of noise Noisy applause, crackling and screaming, the entire arena was driven by the explosive music of the home entertainment group. Some danced, some kissed each other between husband and wife, and some stretched their heads and twisted their necks. These are the daily performances of the audience, except The performances of the audience, as well as the cheerleading performances in all kinds of seductive costumes specially prepared by the entertainment group for the audience, the hip-hop performances of human and ball, and the spoof performances of mascots, in such an entertainment place similar to a nightclub, no matter how sleepy you are, you can I will become agitated, make myself sleepy, and can't help but slap, cheer, scream, and shout the name of my favorite star.

Even though it was very late, the Pistons' home momentum remained the same as before.

Fans are ready to feel the thrill of basketball, but they just don't know when it will start, and the game time is approaching.

Just when they couldn't hold back and tried to stand up and shout that they couldn't wait for, the referee blew his whistle. Shoulder to shoulder, arm in arm, the audience stood up and sang the national anthem of the United States of America.

After the national anthem was sung, the game officially started. The two sides performed a jump ball, and Wallace and Joe Smith performed the jump ball.

In order to encourage Wallace to jump off the first wave of possession, the fans applauded without hesitation, and chanted Wallace's name, saying that he is the rebounding leader, All-Star, and MVP.

The fans cheered, Wallace got excited, jumped up, stretched out the ball gently, and the ball flew to Hamilton, Hamilton jumped to catch the ball, facing Mason who was coming close to the defense, and came to Neil who was rushing over A false pass diverted Mason's attention a little bit. Taking advantage of this unprepared time, he used both feet to accelerate the ball with both hands and feet. After three points, he handed the ball to Reed's defense. Neal, Neil did not dribble the ball after catching the ball, but first made a fake pass to the penalty area. After diverting Reid's attention, he immediately made a shooting action. Reed reacted very quickly. Unexpectedly, Neal was about to take a shot. He jumped up and wanted to give Neal a big hat. Neal had a high IQ and his passing skills were extremely weird. Reid didn't even see it clearly. Neil Just pass the ball to Rashid.

Rasheed bent down to pick up the ball, faced Damon Jones' defense, and threw it high with one hand in the face of the block. The ball deviated a little bit from the basket in the sight of everyone wanting to stand up and applaud. However, this time It's not worth worrying about, because the team is escorted by the little prince.

Don't look at Prince's thin, tall, weak-looking appearance, but he is really good at playing, more reliable than tall and big people. Just like the ball just now, he has actually been marked by Skeener He was dead, but when he predicted that Rashid's shot was missed, he knew how to find a way to save it at the first time. By running back, he successfully won an alley-oop for himself and put the ball in easily. basket.

Since this was the first time he scored in the first round of the playoffs, he deserved the warm cheers and applause from the audience.

"Good goal, good goal...Little Prince, well done!" For the fans, the most concerned thing is the goal, usually who scores the goal, who they are cheering for, and who is their hero, at this moment Prince is their hero.

A simple goal, but many problems can be seen. Overall, the Pistons have done better, more perfect, and more tacit understanding in terms of offense, organization and defense.

This phenomenon must have been observed by experienced Bucks coaches. As for how to play the next game, perhaps we can only start with staffing and a more proactive offense and defense, so that we may be able to escape.

In order to cope with the Pistons' tacit cooperation and fierce offense, the Bucks coach started a 12-man rotation mode. As long as anyone does not perform as he wants on both ends of the offense and defense, I'm sorry, you'd better rest!

Sometimes, a reasonable rotation of players can revitalize the entire team, but if the players are not warmed up yet, and they are completely out of shape, it is because the players miss one or two shots and they are replaced. It has a great impact, but they can all understand it, because this is the playoffs, and they must play cautiously, because in most cases, losing or winning is only one ball away.

Throughout the game, the Bucks had poor firepower and were constantly under pressure from the Pistons. They lost six points in the first quarter, three points in the second quarter, 26 points in the third quarter, four points in the fourth quarter, and four points in the whole game. After the quarter, the Pistons lost a total of 26 points. Of these [-] points, Neil only scored [-] points, which is a new low for the season. As the second core of the team, it is not normal to score [-] points, especially one of six three-pointers. , Such a hit rate is the performance of a role player.

After the game, when Neal was interviewed, the reporter asked him to make a summary of his performance throughout the game and the real reason for the team's victory. This is how he answered the reporter friend.

"Thanks to Hamilton, Wallace, Rashid, and Prince today, Hamilton got what he deserved. Wallace, Rashid, and Prince almost grabbed two-thirds of the game. Rebounds, it can almost be said that if we can win the game, we win on the offensive and backcourt rebounds. With rebounds, only six people will score in double figures. Among those who scored in double figures, three manpower is the highest against the opponent. A scorer, which is why the team still wins when I'm out of shape and my performance is down."

The reporter finally asked Neil a question, if nothing unexpected happens, which game will the team win.

Neil replied to the reporter that the fifth game is expected. Although the performance in this game was not satisfactory, he will play more like a core in the next game. Why can he win the fifth game?Because for the Bucks, as long as they are not swept away, they are satisfied. Therefore, they will definitely try their best to win a game and fight for their dignity.

Neil said so arrogantly, afraid of being targeted by the Bucks, he turned a corner, laughed and said as if avoiding suspicion: "Actually, in basketball, no one can predict what will happen in the next second. , Because every team and every player has an O’Brien Cup in their hearts, maybe the Bucks will win the next game, and we will lose, so, while being confident, you must also have a sense of urgency.”

The reporter friend was very satisfied with Neil's answer. He said goodbye to Neil with a smile, and wished them smooth sailing in the future, striving to win an O'Brien Cup for the Motor City.

In addition to Neil's grateful thank you, there is a sonorous, confident, and neither humble nor overbearing affirmation.
