Legend of Tomorrow

? Smith said excitedly: It's really beautiful. Jason defended the Pistons' interior players twice in the first quarter. Once Ben Wallace hit hard and once Campbell cut through. Billups still hasn't scored yet. Jason doesn’t just know how to attack.”

Barkley smiled and said: It's so fast and it has to enter garbage time. It's not easy for Jason to get 50+10 today.

Smith said: Some people predict that he can score more than ten 50+10 times this season. This sounded like fantasy in the past few seasons, but it is really possible for Jason to do it, as long as he guarantees playing time, even if the Pistons No defensive team can guard him.

When the Suns attacked and Marion made an outside move, Campbell struggled to keep up. It's impossible not to follow. Marion can not only shoot mid-range shots, but also three-pointers.

After the pick-and-roll, Guo Xu held the ball on the right side and glanced at Stoudemire in the middle. He suddenly changed direction and accelerated past Ben. Billups chased him from behind and couldn't cover it. Guo Xu easily made the basketball and scored.

20 to 4, personal 13th point.

Not only were the Pistons players on the court stunned, but coach Larry Brown on the sidelines was also stunned, as the painful memories of the 2001 Finals were brought back.

As long as other Suns players have the ability to shoot, Guo Xu will be difficult to guard with a pick-and-roll move. After being misplaced, his breakthrough speed is too fast. When Brown sees him, he will think of Iverson, who is an enhanced shooting version.

Iverson mainly relies on breakthroughs to play. Although he has excellent breakthrough ability, his opponents know how to deal with it, which is to defend alone on the outside, double-team near the penalty area, and let others shoot.

It is much more difficult for the Pistons to double-team Guo Xu because he likes to shoot from outside the three-point line and the formation is completely stretched. After he attracts double-teams and makes a one-pointer, the Pistons defense will definitely have holes.

Hamilton caught the ball and made a mid-range shot. Ben grabbed the offensive rebound and distributed it to the right baseline. Prince also missed the open mid-range shot.

The second-year Prince was appreciated by Brown for his excellent wing defense, but he has little offensive effect. He mainly relies on baseline cuts to score, and his style is similar to Marion. His offensive ability is slightly inferior. In his previous life, he was a blue-collar star on the outside. He averaged less than 15 points per game in the peak season of his career.

In the Suns' position battle, Guo Xu played a pick-and-roll outside the three-point line, attracting Campbell to switch to the weak side. He dribbled with his right hand and turned his head to look at the center, and then suddenly accelerated and succeeded.

His several breakthroughs did not include complicated fake moves, but relied on changes in dribbling rhythm. With this glance, he made Billups afraid to let go of Stoudemire to double-team, and made Campbell worry that Stoudemire would cut through. A breakthrough opportunity was created.

Guo Xu drove to the basket from the right and made a three-step jump to the basket. 22 to 4, personal 15th point.

Larry Brown was forced to request a timeout again,

With just over 6 minutes on the clock, the Pistons couldn't attack and couldn't defend.

When Guo Xu came off the field, he high-fived his teammates to celebrate. Haslem handed him a towel, and Howard handed him water.

When the game ended like this, Guo Xu almost wanted to let go and realized that he had overestimated the Pistons. The Pistons without Rasheed Wallace are a different team. The defense at the 4th position is flawed, and the offense cannot open up space.

Hamilton averaged 19.7 points per game last season because of his partnership with Clifford Robinson, whose shooting range reached beyond the three-point line. In addition, as coach Rick Carlisle, he will arrange three-point tactics, and his teammates will open up from the outside to help Hamilton create opportunities.

The Pistons averaged 18.1 three-pointers per game last season. As soon as Brown came, this number immediately dropped to 11. Everyone gathered near the penalty area, and they were still running around without the ball? Even if Hamilton gets rid of Bell, he will be disturbed by the flank.

Guo Xu feels that if the Pistons cannot trade for Rasheed in the mid-term, they may not be able to pass the first round of the playoffs with their poor offensive power, because Brown does not like to use Okur, and it is too defensive for two blue-collar insiders to play together.

Smith said: The Pistons' strategy of grinding down the position and reducing the number of rounds could not prevent Jason. It only made the team's offense worse. They did not have good shooting opportunities. All five Suns players were defensively positioned.

Barkley laughed: The reason the Grizzlies won against the Suns before was because the position battle between the two big men opened up space. Pulling out the Pistons' inside players will only cause the defenders to be double-teamed. I don't think Campbell should play in this game again. Otherwise, if Jason could score more than 60 points, he would not be able to defend well with the 'Bow the Buddha' move.

In the past few years, Guo Xu has perfected the Buddha trick, which he uses far more frequently than changing the direction of his crotch. On the basketball court, this trick is described in English as Fake or Hesitation Step.

Guo Xu mainly has two options for worshipping. One is to rely on solid basic dribbling skills, control the ball and stop suddenly, pretending to hesitate to shoot, pass and other actions to induce the defensive players to increase their focus and reduce the chance of defensive breakthroughs. range, and then immediately lowers his center of gravity to accelerate the dribble to break through the defense.

The second is to pull the center of gravity, that is, by switching the center of gravity of his front and rear feet when stopping the ball, he pulls the defensive player's center of gravity forward or upward, making the defensive player's movements awkward and unable to quickly move laterally to block the breakthrough route.

Even if his teammates' screens are not very successful, Guo Xu can still break through. He often makes false passes after pick-and-rolls, and he is getting better and better at taking advantage of his speed.

After the timeout, both sides made substitutions. Pistons insider Campbell came off the court and replaced Okur. Even if Ben is good at guarding pick-and-rolls, this substitution does not seem to have much effect on the defensive end because the Suns use a small ball strategy.

Okur was born in Yalova, Turkey on May 26, 1979. He was selected by the Pistons with the ninth overall pick in the second round of the 2001 NBA draft. He only joined the NBA in 2002 because he was under contract.

He is 211cm tall and weighs 113kg. He can not only act as a human shield on the defensive end to defend the penalty area, but also open up space on the offensive end to play pick-and-rolls with teammates and catch the ball and shoot. Occasionally, relying on his height and weight, he can beat his opponents in the low post.

Obviously, Okur is an excellent center who can play both inside and outside. He is 24 years old and is in his physical prime. However, you can tell by his size that he is not fast and he weighs more than Campbell. Can this guy guard Marion when he comes on the court?

Brown changed the defensive tactics to a zone defense. Billups defended Guo Xu on the outside, and the other four were responsible for the area. Okur's job is to guard the penalty area, protect rebounds, screen on the offensive end, catch and shoot, and create opportunities for his teammates.

Collis Williams is a highly mobile forward. He can strengthen the defense of the pick-and-roll by playing as a guest at the 4th position, but he still sits off the court. Brown does not like to let him play power forward.

Brown also didn't admit what Guo Xu said, If you can't guard against the pick-and-roll, you can't guard against the Suns. He is a paranoid person, and he will stick to it even if his idea is wrong.

On the Suns side, D'Antoni sent Haslem on and replaced Marion. This is to strengthen the defense and make the team's offense stronger in the second quarter.

Before the game, the Suns coaching staff analyzed the Pistons' lineup in detail and formulated a response plan.

Assistant coach Larry Drew believes that Okur has a certain scoring ability and Marion's defense will be very difficult. If Marion is forced to face off against Ben, and is easily defended during a counterattack, he might as well just take a break and come back with a substitute in the second quarter.

Haslem is an orthodox inside man with a tough style of play. He can not only defend the pick-and-roll, but also resist Okur in the low post. He can also stretch on the offensive end, and his mid-range shooting is no worse than Marion.

When the Suns staff behind the Pistons bench saw Brown calling Okur to talk about tactics, they sent a text message to D'Antoni. Although they couldn't hear clearly what was said, they could see the other party's intention to make the substitution.

The Suns coaching staff is very capable of adapting to home situations...
