NBA: The stars return to the peak, and the battle of the gods begins

"Hey, let me go, the new batch of bad boys is pressing the audience!" Wang Wei was shocked.

Lin Nan was also quite speechless, aren't Billups and the others afraid of being exhausted?

In order to get the approval of coach Casey, Billups and the others took a full-court press against the Bucks as soon as they came up.

Pistons coach Casey was also surprised, but he supported Billups and the others in doing so.

When the new batch of bad boys is tired, he can replace the old batch to take over.

The five starters of the Bucks are really tiring. In the first game of the new season, they ran into these bad boy members. They are more unlucky than anyone else.

Duang!Cassel hit the iron with a three-pointer.

Antetokounmpo successfully grabbed the rebound, and he jumped hard to try to dunk the ball.

But he was pressed down abruptly by Da Ben who jumped up.

This is a dilemma that the Greek monster has never faced before, in previous games.

Like this kind of strong dunk, Antetokounmpo will dunk all the blockers.

But today Antetokounmpo is facing Ben Wallace, who has top body strength.

In terms of strength, it is difficult for Antetokounmpo to get benefits from Ben Wallace.

The ball was snatched by Big Ben, who passed the ball to "Little Prince" Prince.

Prince then passed the ball to Hamilton, who rushed to the frontcourt, and the latter scored a layup.

Antetokounmpo played against Daben several times later. Except for one foul by Daben, he failed to score several shots.

The peak instinct can effectively restrain O'Neill, who has 8 successes, so naturally he can also restrict Brother Antetokounmpo.

Seeing the new batch of bad boys with a strong offensive and defensive performance, Pistons coach Casey threw his fist excitedly in celebration.

The Pistons team he led was no longer that wimpy Pistons team.

End of the first quarter, 17:26.

In the first half of the quarter, the Bucks only scored a poor 11 points. Unexpectedly, the second half was even more pitiful. They only scored 6 points.

The Pistons let the fans see what iron-blooded defense is.

Unlike the old group of bad boy members who rely on dirty defense, the new group of bad boy members rely on aggressive defense.

They keep the pressure on people at all times, ensuring that there is a defender between the opponent's player and their own basket.

Facing this defensive system, shooting is very difficult. The Pistons will continue to put pressure on both the ball holder and the off-ball runner. The former locks the shot, and the latter locks the pass.
In the second quarter, Casey continued to send Billups and the others to play.

In order to help the team catch up with the score, Reid scored a strong three-pointer as soon as he came up.

20: 26.

But in the next 3 minutes, the Bucks fell into a scoring drought, and they were defended by the Pistons' iron-blooded defense without scoring a point.

The Pistons didn't score much, they only scored 6 points, which was enough for Billups and the others.

Compared with crushing opponents with offense, they enjoy the happiness brought by defense more.

Watching the Bucks players shoot and hit the iron, they have a great sense of accomplishment.

On the Pistons bench, "Mobile Cade" Cunningham and other young players were very excited.

The seniors can finally help them tear off the label of "soft egg".

But the members of the old group of bad boys are all stern-faced. The better they perform, Billups will only greatly reduce their status in the team.

"Cathy seems to be very satisfied with them!" The smiling assassin said coldly.

"Yes, you see we only have to sit on the bench." Dumars complained.

"I think he doesn't want to hang out with the Pistons!" Ma Hong clenched his fists and rattled.

"I'll go talk to him." Lambiel got up and walked towards Casey.

The smiling assassin followed suit.

Lin Nan heard their verbal exchange, facing the oppression of these villains, Casey had no choice but to choose to compromise.

He replaced Billups and the others, and then replaced them with the Smiling Assassins.

Interestingly, the Smiling Assassins also adopted a full-court press against the Bucks.

Several main players of the Bucks were exhausted from being defended, and blacksmithing became the main theme of the Bucks.

In desperation, coach Budenholzer had to replace the bench to relieve the pressure.

After halftime, the scores of both sides were pitifully low. At 35:45, the Pistons temporarily led by 10 points.

Brother Antetokounmpo directly wrapped his head in a towel and returned to the locker room. It could be seen that he was very dissatisfied with the current situation.

In the first half, Antetokounmpo scored only 6 points and 8 rebounds.

The reason why he was able to grab 8 rebounds was mainly because of the frequent strikes in today's game.

The Bucks' highest scorer was Reid, who scored 11 points.

Looks so-so and passable, but Reed is shooting less than 30 percent from the field.

Reid took 12 shots in the first half, but only scored 3 goals, 2 three-pointers + 1 two-pointer, plus 3 free throws.

The Bucks' shooting percentage is equally low, only 32.3%.

Regardless of scoring in the first half or shooting percentage in the first half, the Bucks have created the lowest record in the first half in the past five years.

It can be said that the Pistons' solid defense made the Bucks completely lost themselves in the game.

Back at halftime.

The game continues.

Less than 4 minutes into the third quarter, Bucks coach Budenholzer called a second timeout.

Seeing that the team's offense has been unable to open, he is more anxious than anyone else.

"It seems that this is destined to be a blacksmithing match!" Mina said, she was so sleepy watching it.

"Sister Na is right, the Pistons' defense is suffocating, and they can't breathe for the Bucks' defense." Wang Wei agreed.

"Da Lin Nan, do you think the Pistons have a chance of winning against the Lakers?" Mina asked curiously.

"Wang Wei, what do you think?" Lin Nan asked Wang Wei the question.

"Then I'm still more optimistic that the Lakers will win. All the main players of the Lakers can do it alone, and the Pistons can't defend it if they want to." Wang Wei replied.

While they were chatting, the two teams came back from a timeout to continue the fight.

Budenholzer shouted that this timeout had achieved a certain effect, and the Bucks' offense opened up instantly.

Up, the Bucks beat the Pistons 9-2.
At 50:51, the point difference instantly narrowed to one point.

Budenholzer asked the players to strengthen the pick-and-roll cooperation to create better offensive opportunities for teammates.

Taking advantage of Antetokounmpo's good pick-and-roll cover, Cassel and Reed seized the opportunity to throw the ball in.

Then it was just a flash in the pan, and the Pistons players would not let the Bucks continue to play like this.

They rushed ahead of Antetokounmpo and destroyed the Bucks' pick-and-roll screen.

The Bucks' outside shooting rate immediately dropped, they couldn't get inside, and they couldn't open outside.

Bucks coach Budenholzer has nothing to do, and Pistons coach Casey will not. He let Billups play for a few minutes, and then replaced them with smiling assassins to guard against the Bucks.

Even though Antetokounmpo's physical strength is strange, he suffered from physical weakness early on.

In the last 2 minutes of the game, the Bucks replaced the main force and completely gave up resistance.

In the end, after the game was over, the Pistons defeated the visiting Bucks 87-75.

Both sides scored very low, and Antetokounmpo rarely scored single digits, he only scored 9 points.

Except for Antetokounmpo's abnormal performance due to his own state, the main reason is that he can't stand the desperate defense of players like the Pistons.
