Chapter 118 The Lynx Strikes 【Ask for Support】
After a big victory over the Hawks, the Pistons got a short rest day. Next, they will face the Charlotte Bobcats who came to play.
The Bobcats had a poor record and had a very poor performance, and their winning rate did not even reach half of it. They had 1 win and 3 losses in four games, and the Nets were the weak team.
However, Zhou Yi is very optimistic about the current Bobcats. After five seasons of training, the Bobcats entered the playoffs for the first time in its short history under the leadership of team leader Gerald Wallace in 2009-10, with a record of 44 wins and 38 losses.
Their forward and guard are very strong, partnered by "Elvis" Gerald Wallace and "Captain" Stephen Jackson. Their offensive firepower is strong and their defense is good, especially Gerald Wallace, whose rebounding skills are no less than those of a high-quality inside. In terms of point guards, Raymond Felton's departure gave young player DJ Augustine a good room for development, and his performance is also in line with the performance of a point guard. The Bobcats should strengthen the most may be the inside. Their inside is too weak, and Kwame Brown and Nazel Mohamed's performance is not satisfactory.
At 7:30 p.m. in 2010, the game was held as scheduled at the Pistons' home court, Auburn Palace Arena.
Before the game started, something bad happened to the Pistons. Austin Dayer sprained his right foot during training and could not play in today's game, so the Pistons seemed even more stretched in the arrangement. Fortunately, the injury was not serious and he could play in the next game.
In this game, the Pistons lined up the same starting lineup as in the last game, center Ben Wallace, power forward Chris Wilcox, small forward Techelon Prince, shooting guard Tracy McGrady, and point guard Will Bynum.
On the Bobcats, center Nazel Mohamed, power forward Polis Dior, small forward Gerald Wallace, shooting guard Stephen Jackson, and point guard DJ Augustin.
At the beginning of the game, the visiting team Bobcats turned around and played against the home team Pistons a 6-0.
However, the Pistons immediately counterattacked. With the cheers of the home fans, Will Bynum began his wonderful performance. McGrady passed the ball to Prince, and Prince passed the ball to Bynum. Bynum made a jump shot during the run and scored the Pistons' first two points.
With a "bang", after Jackson missed the jump shot, Prince grabbed the defensive rebound and handed it to McGrady. McGrady controlled the ball and made a fast break, and Bynum also rushed towards the opponent's half. At this moment, only DJ Augustin, McGrady and Bynum kept passing the ball around, and finally Bynum completed the fast break.
Seeing Bynum open fire so quickly, Zhou Yi was quite surprised.
"Haha, this guy feels so good today. When he gets over, he can run him well. Haha..." Zhou Yi murmured with a smile.
Zhou Yi sat off the court and looked at Bynum on the court and had to admit that this guy has much richer experience than himself. Moreover, his shooting level is indeed better than himself, whether it is mid-range shot, long shot or interference shooting. However, although Bynum's offensive firepower is very strong, his overall view is not as good as Zhou Yi, and his organizational ability and defense are not as good as Zhou Yi.
Seeing Bynum on the court with confidence in controlling the ball, Zhou Yi couldn't help but feel a little envious. But he also understood that he had not met the starting requirements yet. Although he was better than Bynum in terms of strength, the most important thing is that Zhou Yi still had too little experience and had not fully adapted to the NBA game atmosphere. These can be seen from his average mistakes and fouls. However, this also aroused his arrogance. No matter how it is said that he can play as a starting player is the dream of every rookie. At the same time, he also made up his mind to practice his basketball skills better, strengthen his shortcomings, and accumulate more experience.
"You still have to become stronger. As long as you become stronger, everything will no longer be a problem."
"Yeah!" Just as Zhou Yi lowered his head and thought, he was suddenly awakened by the warm cheers in the audience. Zhou Yi raised his head and learned from Daye that Bynum had performed again just now. After he got a defensive rebound in the backcourt, he broke through the defense of DJ Augustine in one-stop, and scored 2 points again with the layup. With the 2 points obtained by Bynum, the Pistons finally tied the score to 8:8.
Next, Bynum made another contribution. He accurately judged the pass route of Gerald Wallace. After stealing Wallace's pass, Bynum rushed to the opponent's free throw line with another dragon in front of DJ Augustine and made another jump shot. Augustine looked at Bynum helplessly and said in his heart: "This guy didn't eat Viagra today, he was so fierce. From the beginning to now, he made 4 of 4 shots and scored 8 points. The Pistons also got the other 2 points through this guy's assist. In other words, the 10 points the Pistons scored are all directly related to this guy. Alas..."
But DJ-Augustin has no choice. Sometimes the opponent feels better and can scare people.
DJ Augustin controlled the ball and organized the offense. After half the game, he passed the ball to Gerald Wallace. After Gerald Wallace got the ball, he broke into the inside. Prince did not defend Gerald Wallace. Wilcox hurriedly ran out to defend Gerald Wallace, but Gerald Wallace easily passed the ball and handed the ball to Nazel Mohamed's hand. Mohamed faced the empty basket and without thinking, he made a layup and scored 2 points.
After Wilcox's strong inside shot attracted double teams, he quickly passed to Prince on the outside. Prince opened his hand and scored a three-pointer. The ball entered and the audience burst into warm applause.
Then Stephen Jackson wanted to return a three-pointer, but missed a three-pointer. Da Ben grabbed the backcourt rebound and handed it to Bynum. Bynum broke through with the ball and gave the ball to McGrady. McGrady broke through and passed the ball back to Bynum. Bynum was in an open position at this time, so he took the ball directly and made a "bang" and hit the iron. Gerald Wallace grabbed the defensive rebound.
Bynum retreated quickly and depressedly, while DJ Augustin let out a heavy sigh.
"This guy has finally returned to normal levels." DJ-Augustin said with a little relaxed feeling.
