The China Power of NBA

奥本山宫殿球场是底特律活塞队主场。它是NBA　30支球队中唯一一座远离市中心的场馆，也是底特律4座职业体育球馆中唯一一座使用私人的资金建成的球馆。它是在20世纪80年代由活塞以前的老板威廉戴维斯出资建成的。它位于距离底特律市区80公里的郊区奥本山，这也是体育馆名称的由来。

The fans of the Palace of Auburn Hills are also the most passionate fans in all cities in the NBA.

On every night when the team has a game, the fans here will drive long distances to watch the game, just to vent their busy day. , always suppressing their emotions, here, they can take off their ties, take off their leather shoes, throw away those hypocritical masks they wear on their faces, and shout wantonly with beer in their hands. Every night like this, they can The arena, which accommodates more than 2 people, is full of people, and the home team scores a good goal. The fans in the adjacent seats will clink their glasses to celebrate, and then drink the beer in the glass.

This is life in Detroit, and this is the culture of the Pistons.

Game start!Bai Xiaofei picks the ball better than Monroe!
Paul organizes the offense with the ball, and now the Hornets' game has begun to take shape. At the beginning of the game, Paul led the team to play tactics. From the end of the first quarter to the beginning of the second quarter, Iverson and Thornton led the team. That's what I said, but Iverson played alone, and Thornton became a pure three-point shooter.

Paul decided to give Bai Xiaofei the first attack. Paul is young this year, but his mind is very clear. He also understands that the main task of this season is to test Bai Xiaofei's ability. After all, the team owner is Chinese, and the manager is Chinese. He will definitely focus on training Several Chinese players.

Bai Xiaofei hits Monroe with his back. Monroe is 211 centimeters tall, which is about the same as Bai Xiaofei, but weighs only 114 kilograms, which is more than 20 kilograms less than Bai Xiaofei. The strength he gave, his strength was lighter than Bai Xiaofei felt, so Bai Xiaofei decided to play by himself, dribbled the ball twice, and at the same time tried his best to arch inside. Bai Xiaofei's huge weight made Monroe, who was not outstanding in strength Defeat!

Bai Xiaofei went to the paint, without even a fake move, he turned right and shot with a hook!Monroe's physical fitness was not enough to steal, but Bai Xiaofei's thick body made Monroe unable to touch the ball when he jumped up, and the basketball flew out of Bai Xiaofei's fingertips!

"Shh!"

The ball is in!
Monroe spread his arms helplessly.

When Bai Xiaofei shoots, he just relies on feeling. To be honest, although Bai Xiaofei's right hook is slightly accurate during training, once he stands on the floor of the game, Bai Xiaofei forgets all the technical links. He shoots all by feeling. , I don’t even know how the ball was scored!Bai Xiaofei seemed a little unbelievable, Paul ran over and patted Bai Xiaofei's butt.

"Chinese dinosaurs! Just fight like this!"

Bai Xiaofei's uh mouth finally revealed a slight smile.

The Pistons round, the tip of the needle against the wheat, the young Monroe is obviously very unconvinced, no matter what he said when he was in college, he was famous all over the United States, how could he easily let an unknown person play wild on his head!

Monroe took the ball. Facing Bai Xiaofei, Monroe's back-up skills were relatively poor, but he had dribbling skills that were rare for big men, and his face-up skills were better, which could cause very effective damage to the opponent!
Monroe held the ball and hunched over, clamped the ball to his left rib, and swayed it from side to side. Bai Xiaofei followed the defensive posture Manson taught him, spread his arms, steadied his horse, and fixed his eyes on the basketball in Monroe's hand.

All of a sudden, the basketball in Monroe's left hand was pushed to the right. Bai Xiaofei instinctively thought that he was going to break through to the right, and leaned his body to the side, but he missed it. Monroe slapped the basketball to the left with his right hand again. He tricked Bai Xiaofei with a very realistic dribbling feint commonly used by guards. Monroe's first step is relatively fast among big men. By the time Bai Xiaofei reacted, it was too late. One step, jumped up, and scored with one hand!
More than 2 fans at the Palace of Auburn Hills burst into applause and the sound of beer mugs colliding!And Bai Xiaofei was still standing there in a daze, watching Monroe's dunk.

Monroe walked past Bai Xiaofei without looking back.

In the next round, Bai Xiaofei put Monroe on his back again, and asked Paul for the ball again. Paul did not hesitate at all, and passed the ball with a hit, and the basketball was accurately delivered to Bai Xiaofei's hands. Squeeze in twice, turn forward, and shoot with a right hook!
The same technical action, the same process, the basketball fell into the basket accurately again!
Bai Xiaofei actually scored twice in singles against Monroe!And it's the same move!
A small number of Hornets fans also came to the Palace of Auburn Hills to cheer for the Hornets. In the opening game, Bai Xiaofei singled Monroe with the same technique twice in a row, which made them very excited!They all stood up and applauded, cheers!

The head coach of the Pistons is John Kuster, who studied under Larry Brown, a typical academic play style. Having worked as an assistant coach with the Magic, it can be said that he has rich assistant coaching experience, but it is the first time to take the position of head coach.

After Kuster saw Bai Xiaofei's sudden outburst in the arena, he seemed to be talking to himself,
"Tall, good physical fitness, rough offensive skills, no range outside the three-second zone, Ben, isn't this your favorite."

Ben Wallace shook his head and said, "I think Monroe should be on the court at this time, otherwise it will reduce the self-confidence of our young players, and it's only the first quarter..."

"You can't let that Chinese show off his momentum!" Kuster said firmly,
"Ben, you go on stage and show that Chinese man some color!"

On the field, facing the tall and relatively slow-moving Bai Xiaofei, Monroe used his mobility to the extreme!He received the ball at the free throw line on the right, and then broke through to the left after swaying continuously, successfully attracting Bai Xiaofei's attention, and then turned right and easily scored a layup with a low hand.

In the next round, the Hornets did not hit Bai Xiaofei again, but played a traditional pick-and-roll between Paul and West. Paul successfully attracted the defense of the two, and then passed the ball back to West, who was open, and West made a jumper!
The backboard hit the front eaves of the basket. Monroe struggled to grab the rebound. When passing the ball to Stuckey, Ariza intercepted the ball. Ariza intercepted the ball and passed it to Paul who followed up. Paul held the ball breakthrough!Stuckey and Monroe flanked the inside!Paul dribbled the ball behind his back, and the basketball appeared in the hands of Bai Xiaofei behind Monroe!Bai Xiaofei scored easily with the basket!
Bai Xiaofei completely changed his mind in this game!In 3 minutes of playing, he scored [-] points on [-] shots from [-] shots!
"Dudu!"

Kuster was obviously not satisfied with Monroe on the inside, and called a timeout, which made everyone confused. In fact, the Pistons did not show a defeat, and Monroe played well on the offensive end.

"Monroe! Where is your defense! Come down, let Ben teach you!"

Monroe walked down the stage dejectedly, with his head down.

Bai Xiaofei broke out a little in this game. The reason was the book that Lao Fu gave Bai Xiaofei——"The Shawshank Redemption". Assault intensive exercises, although you can't understand every sentence when you read this book, but after reading a paragraph, you can understand the general meaning.

The protagonist Andy in the book was imprisoned because of an inexplicable murder of his wife. In the first few years in prison, Andy, like Bai Xiaofei, once lost hope in life, surrendered and made fun of others. After a cellmate revealed that the man who killed his wife was another robber, Andy rekindled his desire for freedom, and spent 20 years digging with a tiny pickaxe used only for grinding stones. Through the passage from the inside to the outside of the cell, it took 200 years to dig through other people's mouths, and escaped from Shawshank Prison on a thunderstorm night.

The more Bai Xiaofei read it, the more fascinated he was. He finished the book in just one night. Bai Xiaofei felt the same way about Andy's decadence in prison. In the end, Andy escaped from prison. At that moment, Bai Xiaofei burst into tears. His tears were not only for Andy, but also for himself. Turning to the last page of this book was a message written by Lao Fu himself.

"I always think that people who commit suicide are shameful and cowardly. They are not even afraid of death. What else are they afraid of? Cowardly people are always making excuses for themselves, while strong people will use their performance to smash all Doubts and misunderstandings."

This sentence deeply stimulated Bai Xiaofei, he wanted to use his actions to prove that he is not a cowardly person!
After the timeout, Da Ben replaced Monroe. The 36-year-old Da Ben no longer had the bunny afro, but replaced it with a common ditch hairstyle. Da Ben was 206 centimeters taller and weighed 109 kilograms. Bai Xiaofei lost a lot in terms of height and weight, but Daben's eyes had inexplicable confidence. He stretched out his hand to straighten the white hairband on his head, and said to Bai Xiaofei,
"Young man, let me teach you today's lesson."
