251 The decisive moment(1/2)
322 Fighting the Trail Blazers again
On February 14, Beijing time, which is Valentine's Day in the West, the Pistons will face the Portland Trail Blazers, now the sixth-placed West, at home.
Although the Portland Trail Blazers are only ranked sixth in the Western Conference, this game is not easy for the Pistons because the main center of the Trail Blazers Greg Oden will play in this game. Moreover, the leader of the Trail Blazers, Brandon Roy, also came out of the injury.
The commentator of the Wutai match of the imperial court was nothing but the old faces Yu Jia and Director Zhang, which is what the fans called "Zhang Heli".
Yu Jia looked at the live broadcast camera in front of her and smiled: "Good morning everyone, everyone in front of the TV! Welcome to watch the Detroit Pistons' home game against the Portland Trail Blazers in the 2010 2011 NBA regular season. There are two focus points in this game. One is the match between the Pistons' inside line and Oden the Great, and the other is the battle between Brandon Roy and Zhou Yi.
As we all know, Zhou Yi has played very well in the NBA now. At the same time, he is also an all-round super player. He does very well in both defense and offense. Brandon Roy is also a very strong player. At the same time, he has played in the NBA for several seasons, and his strength is definitely not to be underestimated. However, although his offense and breakthroughs are very sharp, even stronger than Zhou Yi now, his defensive ability and three-point ability
It's really not a good idea. So, I believe that Zhou Yi, who is still a rookie, is definitely capable of competing with Brandon Roy now, because Zhou Yi and Brandon Roy both have relatively comprehensive skills." Speaking of this, Yu Jia looked at the audience in the field, chuckled, and smiled at Director Zhang beside him, "Do you notice it? Although this is the home court of the Pistons, there are also many fans wearing the Trail Blazers No. 7 jersey and No. 52 jersey!"
Coach Zhang glanced at the fans and said, "Actually, this is normal. Although McGrady and Zhou Yi are both on the Pistons, that does not mean that all fans only like the Pistons. After all, there are many strong teams and stars in the NBA, and fans also have their own preferences. It is normal for this situation to happen!"
"Yes! That's true." Yu Jia nodded in agreement, then turned his eyes to the camera again: "Okay, there is still nearly half an hour before the game begins, so let's take a look at the exciting game between the Pistons and the Trail Blazers this season..." As soon as Yu Jia's words fell, the Wutai of the imperial court immediately jumped to the NBA field, playing the exciting game between the Pistons and the Trail Blazers before.
19:05, there were only twenty-five minutes left before the game officially started, but the players of the two teams still did not appear. However, this did not make the fans complain. After all, most of them have been waiting for nearly a month and don’t care about waiting for this more time. Of course, they are still very expectant and anxious in their hearts.
Zhou Yi in the locker room closed his eyes and leaned against the closet, with his expression surprisingly calm, as if he didn't care about the upcoming game at all.
Like Zhou Yi, other Pistons players have also let go. They have not felt any anxiety because this game will be difficult to play, and they are doing their own things.
At this time, the door of the locker room opened, and then John Custer walked into the locker room, silently scanned the disciples, and said, "Time is up! Let's go!"
Have you finally arrived? Then let's go! We must win this game!
Zhou Yi suddenly opened his eyes, squeezed his sweaty palms, and walked out of the locker room with other teammates silently, approaching the stadium with the idea of winning.
In the Portland Trail Blazers locker room, Trail Blazers players were also laughing and joking with each other easily, without the tension as before the game, as if they were about to have a game, not a game.
Brandon Roy looked up at his "little brother" Greg Oden, and chuckled, "Greg, how about it? He is about to come back to play the game, and he will be a super strong team in one shot. Are you nervous?"
Greg Oden smiled, pressed his right hand on his chest, and took a deep breath, "I'm very nervous! Very nervous! However, the more nervous I'm stronger I'm stronger, and the stronger I'm more invincible, so I'm absolutely not losing to those scumbags inside players of the Pistons!"
Brandon Roy gently destroyed Greg Oden's belly and said with a smile: "Ha, it's worthy of being our 'Emperor', come on! You are the strongest center!"
Greg Oden smiled, stopped his exaggerated movements, and laughed and said, "How about you? Just talk about me, what about you? You may have to face the Chinese Week, which has been so popular these days! Are you nervous?"
After hearing this, Brandon Roy's eyes flashed with a fiery fighting spirit that was not easy to detect, and he smiled and said, "Am I? Of course, I'm doing my best. I don't think I'm worse than that super rookie!"
"Haha, let's work together!"
"Ok, no problem!" Brandon Roy smiled relaxedly.
The other teammates in the locker room saw the two "bosses" who were so confident, and they all believed that under the leadership of Greg Oden and Brandon Roy, the Trail Blazers could definitely defeat the Pistons.
Trail Blazers head coach McMillan walked into the locker room and smiled at everyone inside and said, "How is it? Everyone, are you ready?"
"It's ready." Everyone smiled relaxedly.
"Ha, is that?" Riley smiled, "What are you waiting for? Let's go! Let's use our efforts to kill the Pistons!"
"Yes!" The Trail Blazers responded with confidence and walked towards the stadium with confidence in winning.
"Roar~~~" When the players of the two teams walked into the stadium, more than 20,000 fans in the audience immediately cheered and kept shouting the names of their favorite players, including the names of the Trail Blazers Greg Oden and Brandon Roy!
Greg Oden looked at the crazy fans and smiled: "Ha, I didn't expect that there are such crazy fans who support us at home!"
Brandon Roy listened to the roars and quipped, "Hey, did you hear it? It seems that many people call your name!"
Greg Oden smiled and said, "You are not the same yet! Each other!"
At this time, Zhou Yi and McGrady walked to Greg Oden and Brandon Roy, and the eyes of all the fans of the audience immediately focused on the four people.
McGrady and Brandon Roy looked at each other without saying anything, but they expressed their meaning in their own behavior. The two smiled at the same time and hugged each other to show their respect for each other and their strong desire to win.
Then, Brandon Roy and Zhou Yi also looked at each other, and they both read the fiery and strong fighting spirit from each other's eyes.
19:30, the warm-up exercise before the game ended.
The whistle sounded at the beginning of the game, and the starters of both sides walked onto the stadium.
The fans have been waiting for the game for a long time and officially begin.
The Pistons start five tigers: organizational defender Zhou Yi, shooting guard Tracy McGrady, small forward Andre Igdala, power forward Greg Monroe, center Ben Wallace;
Portland Trail Blazers: center Greg Oden, power forward Lamarcus Aldridge, small forward Nicholas Batum, shooting guard Brandon Roy, and organizational defender Andre Miller.
At the beginning of the game, "The Emperor" Greg Oden jumped to Greg Monroe and gave the racket to his teammate Andre Miller, winning the first ball for the Trail Blazers.
By the time Andre Miller dribbled through half the game, the Pistons players were already running and ready to defend.
Andre Miller looked at Greg Oden in the inside and wanted to pass the ball to the latter. However, when he saw Greg Oden still having a fierce position grab with Greg Monroe, he changed his first intention and passed the ball to Brandon Roy.
After receiving the ball, Brandon Roy immediately pressed his waist and made an attacking posture, and his eyes were placed tightly on Zhou Yi in front of him.
Zhou Yi opened his arms and looked at Brandon Roy quietly. It was very quiet, like a lurking beast, making people think that he was not at all dangerous or hostile, but as soon as the prey moved, he would stretch out his sharp grabs and fangs to tear the prey to pieces.
Brandon Roy felt an invisible pressure coming towards him, trying to tear him apart, destroy him, and overwhelm him.
This feeling reminded him of the situation when he fought with superstars such as Kobe. In front of him was a beast, a beast that was ready to tear him to pieces at any time.
Zhou Yi's defensive style has changed, and John Custer and those who are familiar with Zhou Yi are well aware of this.
In the past, he always kept close to his opponent and tried to keep his opponent from touching the ball or shooting. Although he did this better, his physical strength was consumed very quickly at the same time. However, now he is no longer as hard as before, but perhaps this method is the correct way to defend.
In the past, Zhou Yi has always had a huge weakness, that is his physical strength. Since Zhou Yi had to defend and attack with all his strength at the beginning of the game, he was always unable to play for even forty minutes, which made him unable to play in the last critical period, thus affecting the team.
Zhou Yi was really impatient about this. He really didn't understand that his physical strength was not bad, but why could he not play for more than 40 minutes like other stars?
Because of this, Zhou Yi really wanted to find a way to save his physical strength. So he carefully watched all the videos of "God of Basketball" Michael Jordan some time ago, and watched this guy who would do his best in every game, but could always play enough for more than 40 minutes to experience the basketball god's understanding of basketball.
After repeated viewing, Zhou Yi finally understood why Jordan was able to achieve perfection in both offense and defense in every game, but he was still full of energy and could often play for 48 minutes.
Do you have to be very nervous every moment in a game? Do you have to run and attack and defend on the court?
Of course not, but it is true for novices who lack competition experience. Apart from the nervousness, the biggest problem is that they have too many moves, not knowing what their most effective behavior is, and not knowing what they should do.
The consequence of this is that it consumes a lot of physical strength and quickly enters anaerobic state. The next step is the movement deformation, the basket and teammates cannot be found, and the mistake is made. Zhou Yi himself is completely the same as those rookies.
In fact, there are many blank points and dead time in the game, which is the time to rest and adjustment time. This time is summarized in one word as safe time, that is, a player will not have a negative impact on the game victory without any behavior.
Zhou Yi silently stared at the unmoved Brandon Roy in front of him, with no expression on his face.
Brandon Roy suddenly started, accelerated suddenly, and broke through Zhou Yi's left at a lightning speed, easily crossing Zhou Yi's defensive range.
While Brandon Roy crossed Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi immediately started and followed Brandon Roy and blocked part of his offensive route.
Of course, it is only part of it. There is also a part of the offensive route, which is still open to Brandon Roy. If you want to block this route, you must have another person coming to double-team Brandon Roy with Zhou Yi. And this person also appeared, and he is Greg Monroe in the inside!
Greg Monroe came to help Zhou Yi double-team Brandon Roy, but just as Brandon Roy was about to be double-teamed by two people, he suddenly changed direction and dribbled the ball from behind his right hand, causing the ball to bounce to his left hand. While doing this dribble, he also passed through the double-team ring between Zhou Yi and Greg Monroe.
There was no defensive player ahead, and Brandon Roy immediately closed the ball and jumped up without any hesitation.
Flying in the air, stretching out your body, and holding the ball with both hands.
"Bang!" The crisp sound of the basket echoed in the stadium, echoed in the ears of the fans, and echoed in the minds of the players.
"Damn..." Greg Monroe cursed inwardly, turned around and walked to the sideline to take the basketball from the referee's hand, and passed the ball to his teammate Andre Igdala, allowing him to drive the ball to organize the attack.
At this time, Zhou Yi had not yet run halfway, and he was still jogging slowly towards the front field.
Zhou Yi received a pass from his teammate and was ready to attack after arching his back to protect the ball, and the enemy in front of him was resolutely Brandon Roy.
Zhou Yi dribbled outside the three-point line, his eyes were always on his opponent Brandon Roy, while his teammates were constantly running, looking for opportunities to support Zhou Yi.
After strolling outside the three-point line for more than ten seconds, Zhou Yi winked at Greg Monroe, who was inside. The latter understood and hurriedly ran to where Zhou Yi was.
If it were the past, when people saw Greg Monroe running like this, they would definitely think that Greg Monroe was going to make a pick-and-roll for Zhou Yi.
However, this time Greg Monroe did not pick up and knock it up for Zhou Yi, but received the ball.
When Greg Monroe ran outside the three-point line, Zhou Yi passed the ball to Greg Monroe as soon as possible, and he immediately started and rushed into the three-point line.
"What the hell are you going to do?" Brandon Roy was stunned by Zhou Yi's behavior, and then hurriedly followed Zhou Yi, but at this time, Zhou Yi was already one meter away from him.
Zhou Yi, who rushed into the inside, turned around, looked at Brandon Roy behind him, and then gave Greg Monroe a faint look.
The latter understood again, threw the ball towards the basket with his hands, and Zhou Yi had already stepped into the unguarded penalty area of the Trail Blazers.
"Ah!" With a loud roar, Zhou Yi seized the opportunity that Brandon Roy failed to keep up with him, exerted force with his feet, soared into the air, and caught the flying basketball in front of the air. His back was facing the basket at this moment.
"Oh my God! Is this..."
At this moment, all the Pistons fans present held their breath, the blood in their bodies began to heat up, their hearts beat faster, and they didn't even dare to blink, because they were not willing to miss the next wonderful moment.
At this time, Zhou Yi's head had already touched the Nets. His muscles tightened instantly, and he poured his arms and hands with his domineering force, and the ball entered the basket.
"Bang!" Take over the air, turn around and tuck your hands heavily.
This time, the air relay was definitely difficult, because when Greg Monroe passed the ball, Zhou Yi not only had to judge the route of the ball, but also accurately found the position of the basket during the flight. He used a back button and could not see the basket clearly with his eyes.
Quiet, absolutely quiet!
All the Pistons fans present were conquered by this wonderful cooperation and the heavy detent that shocked the soul.
This shock that can only be felt by visiting the scene makes the fans forget to applaud, forget to shout, forget the players, forget themselves, forget everything,
They were all in absolute shock and could not extricate themselves.
Commentator Yu Jia is worthy of being accustomed to big scenes. He came to his senses first and said in an excited tone: "Did you see it? Dear viewers, have you seen it? This is the 'Flying Man' of China, this is the strength of the 'Flying Man', and the strength of us Chinese. Zhou Yi told us with his actions that Chinese people can fly, and Chinese people can also make such a wonderful dunk!"
The Pistons fans present only felt a boiling point that was about to rush out of their bodies and kept pouring into their minds, and then rushed into their whole body, making their entire body and even their soul boil.
To be continued...
