Pick Westbrook

Chapter 101 And Bals

Game start.

Bucks regular starter.

Pistons starting lineup: Point guard Rodney Stuckey, shooting guard Richard Hamilton, small forward Tayshaun Prince, power forward Rasheed Wallace and center Antonio McDyess .

With a mid-line jump ball, Yi Jianlian stabilized the 206cm Antonio McDyess and grabbed the first wave of offensive balls.

Westbrook advanced with the ball, and Yi Jianlian made a high pick-and-roll.

Instead of being afraid of the Bucks' high pick-and-roll like other teams, the Pistons used normal pick-and-roll substitutions.

Westbrook tried to break through Antonio, but the other four of the Pistons immediately encircled and played the iron barrel formation they are best at.

"Even though Coach Brown is gone, the defensive habits left to the Pistons are still there." Tyronn said a little nervously.

Westbrook chose to divide the ball in time and gave it to George Hill in the corner. The latter's shot was interfered in time by the defensively active Hamilton.

The Bucks' first wave of offense ended in failure.

"The Pistons' defense and lineup already restrained our style of play, because their players on the court are very flexible, and they don't have bulky tall centers, so it's easy to defend our passing and three-point tactics."

The defense shown by the Pistons in the first round did not disappoint Li Lai.

Even though they are only ranked ninth in the Eastern Conference, their average conceded points per game is still the third highest in the league, with only 94 points.

This data is even better than the 95 points of the Atlanta Hawks.

It's the Pistons' turn to attack.

If it was the way the Pistons played in the past, Hamilton should slip the bottom line to play pick-and-rolls at this time, and run on the court without stopping.

After all, this is a man who can run dead dogs.

But Rodney Stuckey, who was advancing with the ball, chose the superstar style of play. After showing off his fancy dribble in front of Westbrook, he went straight to the basket.

Tyronn Lu couldn't help laughing.

"Russell's defense is now better than most players at the same position in the league. Rodney Stuckey's choice to play so hard is not a good decision."

Sure enough, as soon as he came into contact with Westbrook, who is also physically talented, Rodney Stuckey immediately knew that he was kicking on the steel plate, and he wanted to completely rely on his body to crush him to the basket. Also completely missed.

Duang!

Mid-range shooting hits the iron.

Yi Jianlian grabbed the rebound and made a quick long pass.

Precise guidance near George Hill's center line, Westbrook's right side quickly hits the turtle tomahawk and snaps!
Rodney Stuckey, who was trying to get back to the defense, wanted to find the court to cover Westbrook's dunk, but shook his head after seeing the opponent's exaggerated take-off height.

"With this jumping height, it's no wonder that Garnett can be dunked."

Li Lai, who was off the court, sighed. Rodney Starkey really proved that he is not that material.

Is it really reliable for such a player to make him the focus of the team's training?
No wonder your Pistons team will use Zhuang Shen as the core of the team in the future, it really is playing tricks.

Of course, what Li Lai wants to say is that starting from this wrong decision to trade Billups, your Pistons will not be able to make the playoffs for many years and become a proper league.

Only halfway through the first quarter, the Bucks played three waves of fast-break counterattacks, and the score came to 20:10.

Michael Curry, who wants to hit the playoffs, can only focus on Iverson, whose strength, experience and fame coexist.

Because conflicts erupted in the Pistons locker room as early as the All-Star Game, the gap between Iverson and other Pistons players was almost on the surface.

Now when Iverson plays on the court, other players will not run, but they will play some pick-and-rolls or rebounds symbolically, and sometimes they don’t even bother to play pick-and-rolls.

That meant Iverson had to do it alone with the ball and score for the team.

"Russell, go and prevent Iverson!"

Li Lai assigned Westbrook a defensive task during the timeout, and reminded: "Go and see how a real super scorer plays. This is a player who is as good as Kobe."

Westbrook is also eager to try.

As early as last week after the game against the Eagles, Li Lai told him to compete for the best rookie!

Westbrook, who has two villains in his heart, is also extremely eager for this award. After that game, Li Lai specially arranged a lot of tactics for him on the field, and other players of the Bucks also specially worked for him. .

This is the team cohesion of the Bucks, and it is also the source of confidence that Westbrook vowed to win the best rookie.

Tonight's match against Iverson is the best proof of his strength!
Iverson held the ball and was obviously taken aback looking at Westbrook, who was in high defensive mood in front of him.

"What kind of plane is this? Why does this No. 0 rookie mean to be provocative like me?"

At this time, the place where Iverson was holding the ball happened to be near the coach bench of the Bucks. Li Lai got up and said directly: "Al, this kid has shown his passion to defend Kobe, so I hope you can use your best. "

Iverson glanced at Li Lai quite unexpectedly.

It was the first time in his long career that such a request could be heard from the opponent's coach.

"Heh, it's ridiculous to say it. I used to be a better player than the blacksmith. Now I'm being used by other players as his backup tire. It's really irritating."

Iverson smiled bitterly, and then showed a very solemn look.

He doesn't know how long his career in the Pistons will last, and he doesn't know where he belongs next season. Even now he is worried like a patient whether his career is coming to an end.

But Iverson is very clear that now he still has the strength of a superstar in the league, as long as he wants, he can play!
"That's why you, the Pistons, have blind eyes up and down, and insisted on me growing up with your prince.

Now keep your eyes open for me, I still have the strength of a superstar, I can still play!I am not a cancer! "

With a roar in his heart, Iverson lowered his center of gravity and looked up into his opponent's eyes like he did in the 76ers.

No one can look into his eyes at this time, not even Jordan!

Because as long as any opponent takes his eyes off his footsteps, it is impossible to defend him.

Westbrook didn't look!
Iverson smiled, this is a smart kid.

Soon, he moved!

The iconic fast dribble under the crotch, a large forward-leaning tentative step, and then Lima came back and made a large change of direction.

Westbrook staggered a step, and then showed shock, "This is Iverson?!"

Iverson did not choose to shoot immediately, but planned to give the rookie in front of him a second chance.

He veered forward again, and then made an even more deceptive backspin dribble.

The basketball dangled in front of Westbrook's eyes, but he just couldn't bear any emotions of pulling out the ball and intercepting it.

Because he knew that as long as he made a move, Iverson's next breakthrough move would come immediately.

This is the experience and lessons that have been subtly produced after countless years of playing on the court.

After Iverson turned his back, he made another left breakthrough, which was extremely fast.

Westbrook was like standing still, watching Iverson score an easy layup.

This is art!This is the stadium elf!

Sometimes I see a defender on the court like a fool being swayed by the opponent.
This can only show that the offensive player has a completely overwhelming advantage and cannot be defended by the opponent.

Westbrook is meeting someone like that right now.

"No one can defend Iverson's breakthrough, even if this is not Iverson at his peak." Tyronn Lue said with deep understanding.

In the finals that year, it was the mighty superstar he defended.

The picture of stepping over him is still vivid in my mind.

Westbrook stood there for a while, and Iverson turned around and spat some trash talk happily.

"Rookie, welcome to the NBA!"

Westbrook reacted quickly, and then motioned for Yi Jianlian to serve, and then the whole court rushed towards the front penalty area.

Stubborn Westbrook is here again.

The entire Pistons team has seen such a reckless player.

"Is this a one-to-one fight against five?"

Hamilton and Prince desperately returned to defense.

Even if the current Pistons are no longer considered a strong team in the league, they cannot tolerate a rookie who is so presumptuous and provocative.

Westbrook rushed into the penalty area at lightning speed, and took off aggressively from the free throw line.

Hamilton and Prince hit the goal with double ghosts, and flew up at the same time to block the ball.

Li Lai and Tyronn Lue stood up nervously, fearing that the excessive dunk and defense would hurt Westbrook.

And Iverson also looked forward to watching the rookie's performance on the court.

The classic scene appeared.

Two big hands flew over the basketball, and Westbrook made a sudden force in the air, causing the basketball to accelerate twice and dunk into the basket.

There was a burst of screaming at the scene, followed by exclamations one after another.

After dunking, Westbrook landed, punched, screamed, all in one go, and then inspected all the fans with his mouth crooked.

"What a shame!"

Iverson looked at this scene with his hips crossed, and couldn't help but smiled again, "It's a brat who refuses to admit defeat."

In the end, the battle between the Bucks and the Pistons also directly evolved into a battle between Westbrook and Iverson.

The fans of the Motor City never imagined that the cancerous Iverson in their mouths would dream of returning to the top, and once again broke out an unsolvable attack that no one could guard against.

Rodney Stuckey, Richard Hamilton, Tayshaun Prince and other Pistons players also learned for the first time that Iverson is such an invincible player on the court.

Hamilton still remembers taunting Iverson when he came to the Pistons.

"A player who doesn't even have a championship ring, that's all."

Looking at it now, such ridicule seems so pale and feeble.

"Because this will be the 50 greatest superstars in the history of the league in the future."

And what shocked the Motown fans even more was the No. 0 rookie Westbrook who confronted Iverson. He was omnipotent with breakthroughs, dunks, three-pointers, passes, and rebounds.

"Didn't you say Rose is the strongest rookie in this class? Who is he?"

In the last quarter of the game, Li Lai suddenly changed his offensive strategy, allowing Westbrook to frequently pick and roll to play singles against Iverson, while the other players were all ready to shoot from outside the three-point line. With different shooting ranges, the iron bucket array, which has long been misnamed, is simply difficult to defend.

And because of Iverson's super offense in tonight's game, Michael Curry didn't dare to win the opponent at all, so he could only let him drive the Pistons' overall offense on the court.

In this way, Michael Curry, who failed to match Li Lai's offensive tactics, could only let the Pistons accept the defeat.

102:92, the Bucks beat the Pistons.

艾佛森赛季新高40分3篮板3助攻，威斯特布鲁克打出了职业生涯最精彩的一场比赛30分11篮板10助攻。

This is also the youngest 30-point triple-double in the league since James.

It wasn't until this time that people remembered that Westbrook had already got a triple-double as early as the opener.

At that time, he also set a record, 19 years and 10 months old, which was the youngest triple-double record in the NBA.

After the game, the Bucks locker room was in chaos.

Yi Jianlian took a basin of water from nowhere and poured it directly on Westbrook. Villanueva pretended to be Westbrook with his mouth crooked and arrogant on the court. Dragic yelled for Westbrook Tebrook takes everyone out to celebrate.

Until Iverson opened the door of the Bucks locker room.

The locker room has always been a private place for the players. Except for the head coach, even the team management will be thrown out if they break in for no reason, let alone the opponent players.

But Iverson broke in so brazenly.

Artest stopped Croshire, Marshall and others who wanted to get angry, and said: "Don't pay attention to this kid, he has always been rebellious, and he is used to breaking into the locker rooms of other teams, but every time Not a bad thing."

Iverson pointed to Artest, made an expression that you still understand me, and then took off his sneakers for tonight's game, signed on it and wrote: A guard who is about to surpass Iverson.

Iverson handed the sneakers to Westbrook, hugged and said, "Rookie, you made me remember your name tonight.

I believe that in a short time, all fans will be calling you, Russell. "

Westbrook bumped fists with Iverson gratefully, and then said with firm eyes, "I still want Baars."
