376 A good start after the season (2)(1/2)
421.
Win, the championship will be won, and lose will be tiebreaker (win)
After Andre Igdala landed, he did not take a firm foothold and fell backwards. Of course, he did not fall to the ground, because Taylor Hansblu, who came from behind, supported him.
"sharp!"
Greg Monroe gave Andre Igdala a thumbs up.
Andre Igdala smiled, patted Zhou Yi on the back, and ran back to the backcourt with him.
In the later game, Andre Igudara became the core of the Pistons' offensive, so she was in a dilemma of being double-teamed by a double-team.
However, this does not mean that the Pistons will be defeated because of this. Because Andre Igudara is double-teamed, it means that other players have a chance to take action.
Ben Gordon, Greg Monroe and Spencer Hawyth all scored through Andre Igdala's wonderful pass.
Greg Monroe did not use his strength to get the position too early in the inside. Two big men over two meters on the opponent were stuck in the inside. On the other hand, he was the only one in the inside, so he was easily double-teamed by the opponent.
He is not afraid of facing the opponent's double-team defense, but there is no need to compete with the opponent's physical strength from the beginning of the game. He can reasonably allocate his physical strength to ensure that the whole game puts pressure on the opponent.
Thinking of this, Greg Monroe gave up his plan to get into the inside and instead raised the high position to play a pick-and-roll for Will Bynum.
Seeing Greg Monroe breaking out of the inside and getting on the rise quickly, Paul Gasol also quickly followed him out.
Using Greg Monroe's high pick-and-roll, Will Bynum quickly accelerated and broke into the Lakers' inside line.
Lakers point guard Steve Blake wanted to bypass Greg Monroe, who was stuck in front of him and intercept Will Bynum's progress when Will Bynum was preparing to break through.
Paul Gasol also moved his footsteps in advance, holding his hands high and blocking Will Bynum's possible breakthrough route.
However, when they saw Will Bynum running around Greg Monroe, they were stunned for a moment.
"Where is the ball?" The two of them were confused at the same time.
With a "swish", Steve Blake and Paul Gasol looked back and saw the basketball fall from the basket and was caught by teammate Joe Smith standing under the basket.
Looking at the basketball caught by Joe Smith and Greg Monroe, who was raising his right hand high in the three-point line, Paul Gasol secretly underestimated this guy.
Greg Monroe quickly retreated and excitedly slapped Will Bynum as he ran past him.
Steve Blake took the baseline serve from his teammate Joe Smith, and then controlled the ball and slowly advanced towards the Pistons halftime.
Paul Gasol used the strong body of more Greg Monroe to get the ball in the penalty area.
Seeing this, Steve Blake hangs the ball into the inside line with a high lob.
However, they all despised Greg Monroe's reaction.
With a "bang", Greg Monroe slapped Steve Blake's pass to the other side, but what made Greg Monroe extremely depressed was that the ball was still in the hands of the Lakers.
After Joe Smith grabbed the ball, he forced Ben Wallace to beat Ben Wallace. After turning around and passing Ben Wallace, he rushed straight to the basket. Judging from his style, he was preparing to make a shocking dunk.
Seeing that Big Ben was passed by the opponent, Greg Monroe immediately turned around and prepared to make up for the defense of Joe Smith, but he did not relax his attention to Paul Gasol.
"This old guy will pass the ball to Paul, this softie, well, that's the case." Greg Monroe calculated in his mind.
Joe Smith rushed to the basket and saw Greg Monroe greeting him, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. Then, when he made a layup, he flipped his hand and passed the ball to Paul Gasol behind Greg Monroe.
Seeing this, Greg Monroe was not surprised at all, but was delighted.
Paul Gasol took advantage of Greg Monroe's turn and raised his hands to prepare for a powerful dunk.
However, at this critical moment, a big hand pressed on the basketball that Paul Gasol raised with both hands, and then the basketball was suffocated directly by the big hand and suffocated directly outside the court.
"So handsome, Greg's block is so exciting." Zhou Yi sat on the sidelines and stood up excitedly.
"Yes, this guy finally showed our momentum. Haha, next we are going to counterattack." McGrady also stood up from her seat and said happily.
"Good, Greg, that's it." John Custer walked to the sidelines and shouted at Greg Monroe on the court.
"I got it, boss." Greg Monroe responded with a smile.
Six minutes later in the second quarter, the Pistons began to adjust the lineup on the court. Zhou Yi replaced Will Bynum, McGrady replaced Ben Gordon, Charlie Villanuo replaced Andre Igdara, and Greg Monroe replaced Greg Monroe.
In the following game, because Kobe played high-intensity close-fitting defense against Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi did not perform very well. However, other players of the Pistons performed well, and their overall shooting percentage remained at around 50%, so they were always ahead of the Lakers.
In contrast to the Pistons, the Lakers' overall shooting percentage is only about 38%. If they hadn't made a little more shots than the Pistons, it might have been widening the score difference between the two sides!
McDilla went to the outside to receive the ball, then grabbed the ball with one hand, with sharp eyes covering the whole game.
Shannon Brown had already posted it up, half-squatted, making a defensive posture. Suddenly, McGrady took a step and instantly blocked Shannon Brown, then stopped and jumped.
With a "swish" sound, the basketball came into the net.
Kobe turned around and passed Zhou Yi after a cross step, and passed the ball to James Harden. After receiving the ball, James Harden cut into a throw from the middle and scored the ball.
On the Pistons, Zhou Yi dribbled the ball in a row and then suddenly a crossover shook off Kobe's defense and jumped up from the wing into the basket. Paul Gasol quickly jumped up to try to block the block.
However, Zhou Yi did not make layups or dunks. Facing Paul Gasol's backup defense, Zhou Yi handed the ball to Greg Monroe behind Paul Gasol in a flash.
After receiving the ball, Greg Monroe decisively rose to the ground and dunked, looking extremely relaxed.
Kobe broke through with the ball, and turned around and shook Zhou Yi beautifully, but the moment he turned, he was cut off by McGrady who was sneak attacking from the side.
McGrady quickly launched a fast attack, but only Zhou Yi was following. Kobe's reaction was also very fast and he quickly returned to defense.
McGrady passed the ball to Zhou Yi, and Zhou Yi drove it twice and gave it to McGrady again. When he reached the basket, McGrady made a shooting move, but in fact he passed the ball to Zhou Yi, but Kobe was not fooled, but hit Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi did not get the ball, but moved the ball to the upper right of the basket with his hand. Kobe was fooled and hurriedly turned to defend McGrady.
But it was too late, McGrady jumped up quickly and scored an all-out layup. Not only that, Kobe also gave a defensive foul. This series of dazzling passes immediately won loud cheers from a few Pistons fans. The two commentators also praised Zhou Yi and McGrady's cooperation.
Phil Jackson took advantage of McGrady's free throw to replace Shannon Brown with Steve Blake, and Lamar Odom replaced Ron Artest. The Pistons' lineup also changed slightly, James Percy replaced Andre Iguodala for the game.
McGrady made a free throw and made a free throw.
At this moment, the opponent of Zhou Yi is Steve Blake, who dribbles and organizes the Lakers' offense.
Steve Blake forced his way through Zhou Yi, who was close to the former defending. Steve Blake knew Zhou Yi's ability, so he did not fight Zhou Yi head-on, but instead divided the ball without hesitation.
After receiving the ball, Lamar Odom swung a little and then made a jump shot. With a "bang", the basketball bounced out of the basket. Taylor Hansblu fought for the backcourt rebound and quickly handed it to Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi went down all the way and rushed into the opponent's three-second zone without any resistance. He tricked Paul Gasol into taking the jump shot, but missed the shot, and Paul Gasol easily took the backcourt rebound.
Steve Blake used Kobe's pick-and-roll to break through to the Pistons' inside, and then passed the ball to Kobe on the other side of the outside, and Kobe scored a three-pointer and hit it.
Zhou Yi broke through quickly, then turned around, passed Steve Blake who was defending him, and rushed to the basket. Facing the opponent's interception, Zhou Yi was not afraid. With a trembling wrist, the basketball flew towards James Percy, who had already ambushed outside the zero-angle three-point line.
James Percy did not adjust after receiving the ball, and took action directly, and with a "swish", he led the Nets a circle.
"Beautiful assist." One of the commentators said with a smile.
The Pistons serve, Zhou Yi received the ball and organized the attack. Zhou Yi broke through from the baseline, and Steve Blake defended closely. Zhou Yi turned around and entered the three-second zone and handed the ball to Greg Monroe's hand. After the latter received the ball, he leaned against Dai Quinn Cook to play singles, and then licked the basket at a low post.
Steve Blake broke through and passed the ball, Paul Gasol benefited, and after receiving the ball, he directly jumped and made a hit.
After Zhou Yi dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, he passed the ball to McGrady who came up to catch the ball. McGrady broke through and passed the ball, and once again gave it to Greg Monroe, who was inside.
Greg Monroe did not rush to attack, but carried Paul Gasol with his body, and then a beautiful pass was given to Greg Monroe on the other side.
Greg Monroe is playing power forward at this moment, and against him is Andrew Bynum. Greg Monroe is facing Andrew Bynum and suddenly turns around and falls back to jump shot, and also makes a jump shot.
After receiving the ball, McGrady organized an attack, and Zhou Yi ran to seek an open position. Suddenly, McGrady shook her wrist and the ball flew straight towards Zhou Yi who was rushing to the inside.
Steve Blake hurriedly followed, while Paul Gasol and Andrew Bynum were also ready to assist in defense.
But Zhou Yi did not receive the ball, but instead used his hand to turn the basketball and turned to Greg Monroe's hand behind Paul Gasol.
Greg Monroe did not pause after receiving the ball, and he jumped and dunked with both hands.
Steve Blake dribbled through the half, accelerated his breakthrough, and created an offensive opportunity for his teammates. Steve Blake saw Paul Gasol rushing into the inside from the wing and quickly inserted the ball into the opponent's hand. Paul Gasol took the ball and made a layup directly, but missed it, and Zhou Yi grabbed the backcourt rebound.
Zhou Yi held the ball and organized the attack, and then handed it to McGrady on the left wing. McGrady transported the ball and kept observing the situation in the game. Suddenly, he leaned back and quickly took a step back and turned around. McGrady faced Steve Blake with the advantage of experience and technology, slightly turned sideways, bent down with the trend, and his body's center of gravity was very low. He made the latter nervous before he could make any moves.
"Ba, ba, ba" McGrady suddenly accelerated the dribbling rhythm, leaned forward with her upper body suddenly, and took a step forward with her right foot.
Steve Blake, who had already become nervous, immediately took a step back instinctively when he saw this. For him, it would be almost enough to prevent McGrady from getting the opportunity to take action. At this moment, he immediately chose to follow the defense.
But he still made a mistake in judgment!
McGrady's straight waist suddenly bent down again, like a sharp arrow, quickly broke into the three-point line from Kobe's left hand, stopped near the right end of the free throw line, and made an easy jump shot. This time his teammates opened up enough space for him.
"Bang!" Paul Gasol's shooting missed. James Percy grabbed the rebounded rebound in time and immediately passed the ball to Zhou Yi. The latter did not stop at all. He turned around and threw the ball directly to McGrady, who was starting at high speed on the left wing. McGrady ran all the way and soon encountered the defense line that the Lakers retreated. McGrady chose to pass the ball again and gave it to Zhou Yi who was following him.
Zhou Yi accelerated his breakthrough, and Kobe, who was defending McGrady, quickly retreated to defend Zhou Yi. But Zhou Yi did not do this, but leaned against Kobe and transferred the ball to McGrady, who was ambushed outside the three-point line.
"Swish"! After McGrady received the ball at the top of the three-point line, she directly chose to make a three-pointer. Steve Blake and Lamar Odom, who were standing behind Zhou Yi, could do the only thing that was to pray that the ball would not be entered, but things went against their wishes, and the basketball was hollowed into the net.
McGrady put down her right hand of the shooting, slapped Zhou Yi who was running up, and then retreated to defend.
After receiving Kobe's pass, Lamar Odom leaned against McGrady with his strong body, then took a step back and jumped, and the ball also made the ball.
Zhou Yi, who organized the offense, deliberately slowed down and slowly approached the right bottom line where Kobe was. Zhou Yi squeezed into the inside line step by step, stepping into the three-point line. It was time.
Zhou Yi leaned back and turned around a little, easily stuck Kobe's left side, accelerated and rushed to the basket. At the moment of breaking through, he made an extremely short eye contact with McGrady, who understood and started running.
Kobe moved ahead of schedule and took a big step to block Zhou Yi's breakthrough route. Kobe also followed Zhou Yi's footsteps, but he immediately tasted the bad results.
With a "bang", the basketball hit the floor. The direction of the bounce was McGrady outside the three-point ground line. The latter was empty in front of him and took action with full confidence. With a "swish", McGrady waved her arm hard and roared.
As soon as Kobe received the ball, he came straight to the Pistons' half. The speed was amazing. Lamar Odomla came up to cover it, and Kobe took the opportunity to break into the Pistons' basket and made a layup.
On the Pistons, after Zhou Yi missed an open jump shot, Greg Monroe grabbed the offensive rebound and handed it to Samuel Durhamport, who made a layup.
