Legend of Tomorrow

? Stoudemire didn’t jump the ball, so he directly returned to defense in this cool way. The Pistons attacked first and the game began.

Billups held the ball in the middle and played a pick-and-roll with Campbell. With only one step, he was double-teamed by Marion and Guo Xu. He distributed the ball to the middle and Campbell was left open in the high post.

Even though Guo Xu had already caught up with Billups, Marion had no intention of closing in and took two steps back. Veteran Campbell took aim at the mid-range shot, and the ball missed the basket. Marion grabbed the backcourt rebound.

As he grows older, Campbell's once-good mid-range shot has lost its accuracy. Last season, as an inside shooter, he only shot 39.7% from the field. His only role now is to use his height and wingspan to defend the penalty area.

When the Suns attacked, Stoudemire helped Guo Xu block Billups from outside the three-point line, and Campbell switched defense.

This is a very different tactic. The Pistons' twin towers do not have the ability to evacuate on the offensive end, and can be evacuated from the outside at will; even on the defensive end, the two men are not suitable to partner together.

Brown put Ben Wallace in charge of defending the penalty area and asked the veteran to guard pick-and-rolls. The reason is that Ben has better control of rebounds and blocking shots, but can Campbell keep up with the defender?

Seeing that Campbell was far away, Guo Xu moved laterally and stepped back. He made a 70-degree jumper from the right and scored a three-pointer. Billups was too slow to catch up and block the shot. 3 to 0.

In the Pistons position battle, Billups passed the ball to Hamilton, who was relying on a screen to move. Bell actively pursued the defense, but Hamilton failed to break through. He then sent out to the outside to look for Billups to organize. The latter was closely guarded by Guo Xu and could not make a breakthrough from the outside. Cold arrow.

Billups leaned against Guo Xu, but failed to squeeze away and turn around. Guo Xu's footwork is very stable, and he will suffer against swingmen and forwards. There is no one in the league at the No. 1 position that he cannot handle.

Billups and Ben Wallace played a pick-and-roll. Guo Xu chose to switch defense to keep up with Ben, while Stoudemire pounced farther outside, preventing the defender from directly shooting a three-point jumper.

Ben received the pass through the air, and there was an obvious dislocation on the court. Guo Xu lowered his center of gravity and defended Ben Wallace.

Before this season, Ben was just a pure blue-collar player. He didn't shoot unless he was open. Although he didn't score much, his efficiency was pretty good, with a shooting percentage of about 50%.

After Brown joined the Pistons, he made a magical suggestion, asking the trainer to develop Ben's offense, and encouraged Ben to dare to attack with the ball, and practice facing the frame to feint with the ball for breakthrough layups and misplaced catches and back-turn shots.

Brown believes that the Pistons lack offensive points inside, and Ben must take on more tasks to help the team. It seems illogical, why wouldn't he let players who are good at offense play? The answer to this question cannot be known unless a group of people form a group to steal his dream.

As a result, this season, Ben's average number of shots per game increased to 9.2, 3.9 field goals were made, a shooting percentage of 42.1%, and 9.5 points with free throws. The efficiency is a tragedy.

Brown also asked Ben to practice free throw shooting. In the previous seven seasons, Ben's free throw shooting was so bad that all coaches gave up. However, Brown firmly believed that he could sublimate Ben because he was a famous coach.

Guo Xu supported Ben with all his strength and did not jump. When he turned around, he raised his hands to interfere. To put it bluntly, he ran into Ben's arms and disrupted his shooting rhythm through confrontation. In this way, the defense was rarely called for fouls.

No matter what position, shooting when there is physical contact with the opponent will reduce the hit rate. Guo Xu uses his body to hit Ben's lower body and makes his body tilt slightly. It works. The small guard wants to make a difference on the defensive end. You have to use small movements instead of trying to take off to block shots.

Ben Wallace's wrist was very stiff, and he might not be able to score any open shot. He turned around and shot a one-handed shot that missed the basket, and Marion grabbed the rebound.

Guo Xu rushed out to catch the ball and launched a counterattack, 4 on 3 in the frontcourt. He glanced at Stoudemire who was following up from one meter outside the three-point line on the right side but did not pass. He suddenly shot a three-pointer from the outside. Billups' center of gravity was relatively low when he retreated. He did not expect him to come so suddenly and blocked the shot slowly. .

Firing cold arrows is not Billups's patent. Guo Xu shot without pressure and scored another one! 6 to 0.

Commentator Smith commented: Jason's defense is really not as bad as people think. He is relatively tough in the No. 1 position. He dares to confront Ben Wallace personally, and immediately chases after him when he is on guard.

Barkley said: The Pistons have people who can attack. Brown doesn't need them. He is just a defensive coach. The 76ers also focus on defense. He can't play offensive basketball. It will be difficult for the Pistons to defeat the Suns with this style of play.

The Pistons attacked, and the players passed back and forth for almost 24 seconds. Prince missed a three-pointer from the bottom corner. Ben grabbed the offensive rebound and immediately got up. Stoudemire grabbed him and sent him to the free throw line.

Ben made some progress in his free throw shooting and made two free throws. 6 to 2.

The Suns attacked, Guo Xu played a pick-and-roll and dribbled the ball to the right. Stoudemire stood in the middle to attract the defense. Campbell was slow to switch defenses, allowing Billups to chase. Guo Xu moved laterally and stepped back to make a three-pointer. Billup shot Si's side block was half a beat too slow.

The ball drew a wonderful arc and hit the net hollowly. 9 to 2.

When Guo Xu returned to defense, he opened his arms and looked like a king on the court. All the fans cheered and cheered, and the home court was full of momentum.

There were fans waving Jason 70+ signs on the sidelines. Many fans hoped that he could score high scores and perform more exciting performances. He has had 60+ twice, but has never had 70+.

Barkley sighed: It's the right position again. Jason made three shots in a row. The Pistons' defense had holes in the opening game.

Smith said: Billups always tries his best to get around the screen, but Jason is one of the fastest guards in the league. He will have a chance if he is blocked for half a second. The inside must switch defenses in time, even if he will be passed or left open. Amare has to do the same.

On the surface, it looked like Billups almost blocked it, but in fact, he jumped in front of Guo Xuqiu after Guo Xuqiu took the shot, which was only a slight interference.

Dealing with Guo Xu must be the same as other teams dealing with the Warriors' Stephen Curry in the future.

In Guo Xu's previous life, if a team had been guarding Curry alone on the outside, the end would definitely be ugly. If the inside line is not up, Curry can shoot a three-pointer in a pick-and-roll. If Curry is blocked, he can break through with the ball in a misplaced position. Even if the outside line is defended alone, the chance of him breaking through with the ball is very high.

Guo Xu plays the same way as Curry, but is slightly shorter. He is easier to perform than Curry, because the league has entered the small ball era during Curry's peak period. Almost all teams are pursuing fast-paced offensive and defensive transitions, strictly guarding against outside three-pointers, and preventing the penalty area from becoming sparse.

In this era, every team mainly defends the penalty area, and there are not so many tricks to defend three-pointers. Even if they want to defend, they are sending slow-moving big blue-collar men inside, and it will be difficult to defend them when encountering pick-and-rolls.

The Pistons will definitely suffer if they don't adjust, but the players won't adjust on their own on the court, waiting for the coach to call a timeout. If they make spontaneous adjustments, they are afraid that they will be scolded after the game. Brown requires the players to strictly obey orders.

When the Pistons attacked, Prince made a mistake in passing the ball to the running Hamilton. Marion changed defense very quickly and let Campbell open to cut off the passing route. Guo Xu received the pass and launched a counterattack.

Guo Xu quickly advanced to the frontcourt, made a move on the left side, dribbled the ball to his left hand from his crotch, and moved his right hand closer. Billups, who was retreating, quickly stopped and took a step forward to interfere. Guo Xu used Bowing to Buddha The fake move to the right was successful.

Hamilton made up the defense, Guo Xu ran and scored the ball to the right corner. Bell got the open space, aimed at a jump shot, and hit a three-pointer. 12 to 2.

The Suns scored three consecutive points in the opening game, and Coach Brown was forced to request a timeout. (https:)
