The second quarter started soon, with both teams sending pure substitutes. Pistons: Zhou Yi, James Posey, Charlie Villanuva, Greg Monroe and Samuel Durhamport; Bobcats: Sean Livingston, Derek Brown, Gerald Henderson, Dessa Gener Diop and Sheron Collins.

Sean Livingston dribbled the ball quickly and passed the half, Zhou Yi actively posted it. He knew that Livingston was not something that could be ignored. He was selected by the Los Angeles Clippers in 2004, and he has improved every year since then, but he was ruined by injuries. This 2.01-meter point guard is known as the next "Magician", which shows that he is indeed very strong, but he lost to a serious injury in 2007. It can be said that if he had not encountered that serious knee injury, his achievements would have been great.

Therefore, Zhou Yi attaches so much importance to Sean Livingston. In fact, Zhou Yi is dedicated to every opponent. He has never underestimated any opponent. This is his outstanding feature.

Sean Livingston watched Zhou Yi pounce on him, and his face turned as usual and threw the ball aside. At this time, a Bobcats player suddenly appeared in a place where there was no one. Zhou Yi suddenly saw that it was Derek Brown. Derek Brown took the ball and made a jump shot. For this reason, Zhou Yi could only sigh helplessly. The Pistons' substitute defense did have some problems, and it was obviously impossible to compare with the starters.

After the start of the second quarter, the two teams were still anxious. Sean Livingston assisted Gerald Henderson twice in a row, and Gerald Henderson's own singles were successful. Gerald Henderson scored 7 points in a row, and in a blink of an eye the score exceeded 3 points.

However, with Zhou Yi's assist, the Pistons veteran James Percy made two consecutive three-pointers and took the lead back. The score has been stalemate and alternately rising. As Dessa Gena Diop made a layup and caused Samuel Durhamport to make a foul and free throw to hit two plus one, the two teams tied again.

When the game is 8 minutes and 03 seconds, the game enters the official timeout.

After the timeout, Zhou Yi suddenly stood up and scored 5 points in a row with shots and free throws. The Pistons always maintained a slight lead, while the Bobcats' substitutes played very tenaciously and caught up with the score several times, but they were immediately suppressed by the Pistons.

At 6 minutes and 11 seconds in the second quarter, both teams replaced the starters one after another.

In the last two minutes of the first half, the Bobcats only Gerald Wallace scored 4 points, while the Pistons took the opportunity to score 8 points in a row. In the last few seconds, Principe hit another buzzer-beating three-pointer.

At the end of the first half, the Pistons widened the score gap a little in the last two minutes of the first half. The score between the two sides was 51:44, and the Pistons had a 7-point lead to enter the third quarter.

"You did a great job in the first half! Guys, if you continue to work hard in the second half, we will definitely win this game!" John Custer said to everyone at the Pistons with a smile.

I have to say that Kuster is a good coach. He can always drive the passion of the players. He often encourages his disciples when he encounters trouble. However, he will still be quite strict when it should be strict. It can be said that he is a qualified coach, at least so what Zhou Yi thinks.

Before they knew it, the second half was about to begin. The Pistons players walked out of the home team's locker room and headed towards the court. When they appeared on the court, the home fans gave these guys warm applause.

"Home court is good, the fans are so enthusiastic, haha..." Bynum said with a smile, hugging Zhou Yi.

"Haha, we have to work harder in the second half to try to widen the score gap!" McGrady walked to Bynum's right and said to the two with a smile.

"Yes." Zhou Yi and the others nodded at the same time.

After the third quarter, the two teams felt worse than the first half, and they made continuous blackshots. In the first two minutes of the third quarter, only McGrady of the Pistons made a long shot.

After McGrady made a long shot, the next touch suddenly became hot. Then after scoring 4 points in a row, McGrady assisted Prince to hit a three-pointer. After the third quarter, the Pistons gave the opponent Bobcats a 10-0 shock wave, widening the score gap to 17 points within four minutes.

At this time, the head coach of the Bobcats, Larry Brown, could no longer sit idly by and saw him walk from the coach's seat to the sidelines and ask the referee for a timeout.

"Are you fools? Don't you know the defense? Next, if anyone misses someone, don't play again. Gerald and Stephen, you two must seize the opportunity and catch up with the gap. The team's offense will focus on you two, and others must pay attention to the defense. Do you understand?" Larry Brown said angrily to the Bobcats players.

"I understand!" The Bobcats players replied in unison.

After the timeout, the Bobcats' defense was indeed much better than before, and the Pistons' offense was not as casual as before.

Gerald Wallace made consecutive breakthroughs and layups in the interior. Although he only scored one goal, he got a lot of free throw opportunities and all the free throws hit. However, although Gerald Wallace was very brave after the timeout, no matter how good he played alone, he could not compete with the Pistons, which is now blooming in full swing.

McGrady organized the Pistons' offensive in an orderly manner until the third quarter ended at 3 minutes and 48 seconds, and the Pistons still led the opponent by 15 points.

Larry Brown looked at the situation on the court helplessly, shook his head, and said to himself: "Although the defense has been strengthened, Gerald is the only one performing normally in the offense, alas..."

At 3 minutes and 28 seconds in the third quarter, Kuster replaced all the main players to rest.

Zhou Yi assisted James Percy to hit a three-pointer as soon as he came on the court, and the Pistons widened the score gap to 20 points. Stephen Jackson of the Bobcats rushed into the inside and caused Monroe to foul, and made two free throws. Then, Gerald Wallace blocked James Percy's mid-range shot, grabbed the rebound, and then quickly went down, and then made another fast break.

The Pistons' substitutes immediately counterattacked. Durham Porter bullied the Bobcats' inside line and made two consecutive strong attacks. At the end of the third quarter, the Bobcats' Stephen Jackson actually hit a buzzer-beating long shot, and he took a shot before he reached the midfield, which was even more shocking than the long shot Prince hit.
Chapter completed!
