You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 847
The Pistons targeted the Spurs extremely cleverly. As the general who led the team, Kidd fell into a positional battle but became a point for the opponent to let go.

There are only three ways to break this game. The first one is the simplest. Kidd fights and hits the open ball.

Although the method is simple, it is a test of touch. When playing against a team like the Pistons that can fly on counterattacks, how many missed opportunities means how many counterattacks are given to the opponent. The Spurs are not willing to take risks.

But the Spurs still gave Kidd a chance. After the first quarter, Kidd made 4 of 0 shots from the outside and helped the Pistons make 3 counterattacks. He was definitely the best sixth man for the Pistons in the first quarter.

34 is better than 26
At the end of the first quarter, the Spurs trailed the Pistons by 8 points.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Spurs adopted the second method.

The second way is to replace Kidd to cool down and replace other guards.

The guard who replaced Kidd was the 38-year-old veteran Terry Porter. This veteran made his debut in the mid-80s. It was the golden age of the NBA. The three-point shooting rate has been increasing year by year. Now, he only relies on three-pointers to score, and he just practiced a three-pointer with a shooting rate of 41.5%, which is enough to make Kidd feel ashamed.

Porter was on the court against Watson, and the Pistons put up the zone defense again.

The seasoned veteran knows how to deal with a defense that was once banned by the NBA. He beckons the team's No. [-] pick to the free throw line and passes the ball to him.

This is the third way to crack the zone defense.

If Kidd was the one passing the ball, Kidd's defenders would immediately go over to contain Gasol, but Porter's three-point shooting rate made it difficult for Watson to move an inch.

Gasol made a jumper from the free throw line.

28 is better than 34
"When we played this set, you were still watching "Rocky" at home." Porter smiled at the top students at UCLA.

Watson frowned. He hated that boring series.

The defense is disintegrating.

The key to dismantling the zone is making open threes and hitting jumpers from the paint to the free throw line.

The Spurs have figured it out, and the Pistons have a second unit featuring Watson, Redd, Ginobili, Jerome Williams and Curry in another playstyle.

Why does the Princeton of the Pistons call itself a featured Princeton?Not only because they are unconventional and the outside line is the core of Princeton, but also because their second team basically does not play Princeton.

With the two big brothers Jerome and Reid leading, coupled with the UCLA engine Watson threading the needle, the outside line of the Pistons immediately responded to the Spurs.

Ginobili ran out of the baseline, took the shot, and hit a three-pointer against the half-baked defender.

Watching Ginobili wear a Pistons jersey and beat the Spurs to the killer is really special.

It's a pity that this is a bad taste that only traversers can enjoy.

For the world, Ginobili is just another masterpiece of the Pistons.

Then came the rookie duel.

When Gasol met Curry, the Spaniard became more mature. He seduced the ball with one hand, trying to lure the opponent to make the first move.Curry stood still, so the Spaniard had to take the initiative to attack.

Gasol's pre-draft template was David Robinson. It may be difficult for Lakers fans who are used to seeing the soft Gasol during the Lakers period to associate the two together.

But before Gasol lost his burst through injury, he was an admiral with better hands and less physical fitness.

He is also seven feet long and has a wingspan of 230 cm. The Spaniard's skills are far more mature than Curry's. He made a fake move and flew the little shark away.

"This number one scholar is the real deal!"

"Yeah, he's so mature that it's hard to believe he's a rookie."

Curry didn't like to be obedient, he secretly glanced at Mo Mengchen and Hill off the court.

They were chatting, and Mo Mengchen said in a voice that even Curry on the field could hear: "If we had gritted our teeth and made a deal with the Spurs, we wouldn't have so many troubles now."

Hill didn't speak as loudly as Mo Mengchen, but as a man of noble birth, he usually speaks in a tone of voice, wishing to let people who can't hear the voice and can only judge the content through the lips read what he said.

I agree. (I agree)
Hill said this.

Curry deciphered it completely through his mouth. He ran to the frontcourt angrily, stared at Gasol, and took the ball from the outside.

The Spaniard stepped forward defensively, with a bohemian smile on his face, as if mocking Curry's nameless fire.

At this moment, Reid noticed that the Spurs had no one to fill the space that the Spaniard left, called the screen, turned and cut into it.

The moment Reid set off, Curry threw the ball in from a high position and successfully passed the ball to the destination.Reed got the ball under the basket, made a backhand layup and made another hit.

30 is better than 37
"It was a beautiful pass, and Eddie Curry has a hand."

Lambiel and Johnson were full of praise for Gasol, but it was also a relief to see Curry respond.

"He's grown into a good center for Princeton," Hill said.

"Are we only expecting him to be qualified?" Mo Mengchen asked.

If you look at it by Princeton standards, what level is Divac?Can it be called excellent?But did he lead the team to a championship?

Qualified, or even excellent, is not enough.

Hill was used to the high standards and high demands of the pervert who was strict with himself and others, so he didn't say anything at the moment, just continued to watch the battle.

At this time, another person from the Spurs began to exert strength.

Stromile Swift, a superstar from the neck down, a kindergartener from the neck up, has eyes only for the hoop, tries to score the top [-] of the day with every goal, and seems to be playing basketball if it wasn't for the limelight It doesn't make any sense. In his eyes, there is no need to do anything that is not in the limelight. This is Swift, a potential man with a super-giant body and IQ who is always offline.

This is a failure in the draft history of the Spurs. The Spurs have personally proved that talent is poison, and it is close to the truth that needs to be cautious.

In the Spurs last season, he started every game. No matter how much Popovich persuaded him, he looked like a urchin under 16 and couldn't listen to anything.

This season, Kirilenko entered the NBA, Gasol entered the Spurs, the Admiral was still able to fight, Swift directly became a substitute, and the arrival of Kidd ushered in a turning point in his career.

Kidd doesn't mind the fact that his brain is flooded. For a guard like Kidd, his physical fitness is a sharp weapon for alley-oops. A top-[-]-level lob dunk or two.

Taking the limelight on the court, Swift has become more proactive in other things, from a talent who is a pity to eat and lose, to a valuable rotation for the team-as long as Popovich doesn't think of such a thing. He was traded for the second pick, so he should have smiled in relief.

It was this kind of Swift who crushed Jerome through physical fitness.

Offensive rebounds, pick melons directly on the head.

Rolling down the pick-and-roll, with a veteran like Terry, like catching a lob pass from Kidd, Swift sank the garbage dog in the air and smashed in a majestic dunk.

In turn, Reed's three-pointer was off-target, and the Spurs counterattacked again.

Back and forth, the difference quickly narrowed.

The Spurs broke through the Pistons' second team with a semi-main lineup. The zone defense failed, and the running and bombing couldn't find the rhythm under the high-intensity defense.

Strike the iron, get hit back, offensive violation, turnover.

During this period, the only goal was Manu Ginobili's singles serpentine layup with the ball.

44 is better than 44
Halfway through the second quarter, the Spurs filled the hole in the first quarter.

The Pistons still have no intention of making a substitution.

Mo Mengchen took off his uniform slowly and stood up with Hill.

On the Spurs side, Kidd did the same thing, and he and Arenas got up, ready to play.

"Tested each other for a quarter and a half, the game returned to the starting point, and the two sides drew."

Now is the offensive round of the Pistons. Watson slowly dribbles to the frontcourt. The run-and-gun tactics can no longer be used. The Spurs' defense is very strong, and there is no room for them to exert force at all.

Curry stood up to get Gasol's position, raised his long arm, and shouted for the ball.

Walson lobs the ball over.

Although Gasol has 103 kinds of martial arts, his current weight is only 118 kilograms, while Curry is [-] kilograms. This weight gap is already very large for the insiders.

The Spaniard's soft touch is enough to show that he does not train frequently in strength, otherwise how can he maintain such a good touch?
Thinking of this, Curry exerted all his strength, knocked Gasol away, stuck the position with his extremely straight shoulders, and raised his long arms. Although Gasol's wingspan was equally astonishing, the hook was just to make up for the height gap And the inside offensive skills born, not to mention that there is no height difference between the two sides, and the wingspan is almost the same. When the position is firmly locked, Gasol's blocks can only interfere.

"Beep!"

As an international rookie, Gasol also received special care from the referee. The ball flew to the highest point and fell into the basket with the whistle.

"Eddie!!!"

Curry's mother, Gail, was so excited that she stood up and yelled. Looking at her figure, you can see why Curry is so thick-backed.

With Gasol's foul, the two sides made substitutions.

The Pistons replaced Watson and Reid, and the Spurs took Terry and Charles Smith.

"Your rookies are not as bad as you said." Kidd deliberately said this in front of Curry.

Did he think that he could provoke such a deep friendship between me and Eddie?
Dor.Mo thought amusedly that his words made Kidd doubt whether his provocation was necessary—"No, it's because your rookie is not as good as you imagined, and our future is not good enough. You can be a good player." Mo Mengchen's words made people uncomfortable, "Isn't it, Eddie?"

Kidd thought Curry would be angry, but the bear-like young man responded meekly: "That's right."

Has this kid's face become so thick under my training?
　Thanks to Immortal Immortal Immortal and Mo Mengchen for their rewards.
