NBA: I'm really not a point guard god

Just an ordinary regular season.

Although it has been hyped by some media, it is a duel between two rebounders.

However, David Stern did not take him seriously.

He didn't go to watch the game live, and he didn't even sit in front of the TV to watch it.

As the league's president, David Stern has many other things to do.

It's just that a game like this won't even get his attention.

Until, his assistant Adam Silver found him.

"What are they doing?"

See the information sent by Xiao Hua.

All Stern could feel was anger.

Verse 19:14.

The offensive tempo of the two teams looks very fast.

However, only attacking but not scoring, what is this!

Could it be that the rules of the nba have been changed, but no one notified him, the president?

In the second quarter, the Wizards shot up.

But in fact, it didn't score much.

They just slowed down the offensive tempo.

Every ball is played steadily.

However, the so-called shooting percentage is up, and it is just a comparison with the first quarter.

The Pistons are even more extreme.

Has been entangled in playing slow-paced positional warfare.

But the shooting percentage is still not high.

Especially the three-pointer, what the hell is 9 for 0 in the first half!

It is said that offense wins the audience and defense wins the championship.

but.

Although David Stern did not watch the game in the first half.

But some people around him saw it.

According to them, the defensive strength in the first half was actually not particularly strong.

It's simply that the players feel too bad.

It's just that the audience doesn't care so much.

What the audience sees is that the players on the field never score.

Just strike iron there.

Zhou Yao and Wallace had a great time grabbing rebounds.

Wallace had 12 rebounds in the first half.

Wallace has grabbed 25 rebounds in the most game this season.

12 in the first half was a little too much for him, but it was also within the normal range.

In contrast, Zhou Yao scored 19 in the first half and 12 in the first quarter.

It seems a little too much.

You are a point guard, if you don’t sort out your offense well, what are you doing grabbing so many rebounds!

Zhou Yao's statistics in the first half were 3 points, 19 rebounds, 3 assists, 5 steals, and 3 blocks.

This is a standard data for defending strong and attacking weak.

This is certainly not why David Stern is angry.

To put it bluntly, the real reason is the scores of the two teams.

If it is combined with the player's data and the process of the game.

That made Stern even more angry.

In recent years, the attention of nba has actually been declining.

An important performance is the decline in both audience and ratings.

Last season, because of Jordan's comeback.

The data looks a little better.

It's just that Jordan can't never retire.

A fact that everyone knows is that in at most 3 months, Jordan will completely retire.

The Wizards won the championship last season.

Let the Lakers' dream of three consecutive championships go bankrupt.

It also brings hope to other teams in the league.

However, the league's teams seem to have become more inclined to defense.

The reflected appearance is that the overall scoring situation of the league is becoming less and less.

Defensive teams like the Pistons are also on the rise.

Now, even the Wizards with the leading scorer are starting to play defensively?

In 2000, O'Neal not only won the scoring title, but also won the championship.

That's what the league wants to see.

Jordan's firepower is so sharp this year.

If the Wizards can win the championship, David Stern is also happy to see it happen.

It's just that he doesn't want the Wizards to win the championship as a defensive team.

"Let's see what they do in the second half."

At least, David Stern is not going to interfere in this game.

The performance of the Wizards made him a little uncomfortable, but he didn't want a team like the Pistons to profit from it.

……

No one would have thought.

It has been dull for the whole first half.

As a result, the second half actually started with Zhou Yao's dunk.

Billups wanted to step forward to stop him, but Zhou Yao knocked him into the air.

Also got a blocking foul.

The goal is valid, plus a penalty.

Billups got up and protested to the referee.

"I was knocked into the air, what else can I do!"

Fortunately, Billups did not lose his mind, he just complained a few words.

Hamilton tugged at him, and then fell silent.

Otherwise, he might get a technical foul.

Zhou Yao made an extra free throw, but didn't score.

Wallace gets the rebound.

The Pistons also seemed to want to launch a fast break, but they didn't succeed.

……

In the third quarter of the game, the pace of the Wizards picked up significantly.

most of the game.

The Wizards lineup is:

Center Zhou Yao.

Power forward Matt Barnes.

Small forward Jordan.

Shooting guard Arenas.

Point guard Tyronn Lue.

Of course, Tyronn Lue is on the court, and most of the time he doesn't even need him to dribble the ball across the half.

It's not the first time the Wizards have played this 3-point guard lineup.

Fortunately, Zhou Yao's height has really grown a lot.

Although Barnes mainly plays small forward, he is also more than two meters tall.

It doesn't appear that the lineup is particularly short.

It's just that the Wizards have sped up the pace, and the Pistons seem very uncomfortable.

He was hit several fast breaks one after another.

Moreover, because Zhou Yao is outstanding in protecting rebounds.

Other Wizards players have also become more and more daring to shoot.

Just after halfway through the third quarter, the score was drawn.

Coach Rick Carlisle is relatively young after all.

In terms of experience, it seems a little lacking, and it has not been able to establish enough authority in the team.

Seeing the Wizards speed up the tempo.

In his mind, the Pistons have always been a defensive team.

The team has now let Stackhouse go, and there are no players with particularly outstanding offensive capabilities.

Newcomer Hamilton seemed to be doing just fine.

Outstanding performance last season.

However, before coming to the Pistons this season, his performance in the Lone Ranger was not very good.

Here comes the piston.

In some critical moments, it is not so trustworthy.

The important thing is that the Pistons don't have Zhou Yao, who cooperated with Hamilton last season.

In Coach Carlisle's view, the Pistons still have to remain unchanged.

Stick to your style of play.

However, the team has less and less hope of winning the game.

Players are also demanding a quicker pace.

Especially the combination of Billups and Hamilton.

Carlyle ultimately didn't hold out either.

However, the accelerated pace of the game did not bring more goals.

It just made the Pistons' formation more confusing.

On the contrary, it gave the Wizards more offensive opportunities.

Wallace grabbed seven rebounds in the third quarter.

But everyone could see that Wallace was not happy at all.

Being able to pick up more rebounds is not because Zhou Yao puts less pressure on him.

It's because the Pistons are missing more shots...
