I just want to lie down and win

Chapter 57 Rage output, ferocious rookie! (Seek to follow up)
The game entered the second quarter, and the Pistons played five substitutes with Huo Song as the core.

Among them, Collis Williams and Mehmet Okur are elite players in the rotation, not only can attack, but also do a good job defending.

As for the Kings, Mike Bibby and Brad Miller started two games with Bobby Jackson, Tony Masenberg, and Gerald Wallace playing off the bench.

It is worth mentioning that Gerald Wallace is the future Elvis Presley, which is the template for Kawhi Leonard's draft predictions.

Since Gerald Wallace has not yet developed his skills and has no body, he is just a rookie on the bench who cannot be reused in the Kings.

Even so, judging from the lineups on both sides in the second quarter, the Kings are much stronger than the Pistons.

"Aren't the Pistons a little too bold in terms of lineup?
Without a star to lead the team, who can score in the second quarter?

Don't tell me that the Pistons are all soldiers, and all five substitutes can score? "

The on-site commentary also believes that the Pistons' lineup is not good enough, and the Pistons should at least send a core to stabilize the morale of the army.

John Hammond is confident in his players, though.

The King's interior height is insufficient, and the main offensive firepower is on the outside.

However, the Pistons lineup is better at playing inside. Whether it is Huo Song or Okur, the offensive end is trustworthy.

In addition, the Pistons' perimeter defense is also good.The only shortcoming of the Pistons on the defensive end is Huo Song, a rookie.

In other words, the King's lineup is stronger on paper, but it is restrained by the Pistons in terms of play.

"Come on, let them see how powerful you are!" John Hammond cheered Huo Song and others.

Because of the failure of the jump ball, the Pistons won the first attack in the second quarter.

Lynch Hunter, who was holding the ball, compared a tactic at the top arc and called Huo Song to come out and do a pick-and-roll.

Hunter played for the Pistons as early as ten years ago and is the younger brother of Joe Dumars and Isiah Thomas.

Hunter learned defense from Dumars, and learned offense from Thomas. Even though he lacked some talent, he still won the nickname "Assassin".

For a while, Hunter was one of the best sixth men in the league.

However, after Dumars took office as the general manager of the Pistons, Dumars traded out Hunter, who was in the middle of nowhere, and when the reconstruction of the Pistons was completed, Dumars welcomed Hunter back home in person.

In the words of Dumars: "If the league now conducts an analysis, for the five-man lineup that is the most threatening to the ball-handling player, Hunter is undoubtedly the first choice for the point guard."

"Then I'll go?" Billups said helplessly after hearing the rumors.

Closer to home, Hunter's offense with the ball does have something.

Seeing that Hunter was about to take the ball and use the screen to make a shot, Bibby didn't dare to be careless, and immediately squeezed the screen to defend against Hunter's attack.

But Bibby squeezed halfway through the screen, and Huo Song withdrew the screen and went down.

Huo Song was still halfway, and the basketball in Hunter's hand had already been passed out.

"Is this pass a little anxious?" The on-site commentator couldn't help asking when he saw the Pistons' pick-and-roll cooperation.

Hunter's passing speed was a bit fast, and it was too late for Bibby to squeeze the screen and then throw it out.

Although the ball was passed, but the teammates couldn't catch it, it was also a mistake.

It was too late, and then it was too late. When the players on the field observed the position of the ball, the ball had already arrived in front of Huo Song, almost at the height of the basket.

"This is a ball-leading pass. If you are not a very tacit teammate, you usually can't receive such a ball."

"Strike! Huo Song is worthy of being the second place in the list, and his physical talent is too good!

Jump high, sideways to catch the ball in the alley-oop, and twisted around to face the basket and dunk the ball.

A wave of extremely wonderful cooperation, no accident is tomorrow's top ten goals! "

An on-site commentator just thought that the ball might be missed. Unexpectedly, Huo Song still seized the opportunity, turned the rotten into a miracle, and successfully completed the difficult alley-oop.

"Haha, if you don't complete this empty pick, I will have to say sorry to you.

Chauncey said that your athletic ability is very good. To pass the ball to you, just throw the ball into the sky casually.

I thought he was joking, but I didn't expect your ability to exceed my imagination. "

Hunter stepped forward to give Huo Song a high-five to celebrate, and Huo Song gave Hunter a resentful look.

Then Tsundere said: "I am the second in the list, and I am operating normally.

However, I want to play the whole game!

Every time you do such a difficult job for me, I may not have the strength to fight later.

The next ones are all away games!Promise me, don't make trouble, okay? "

"Understood, my Superman!" Hunter patted Huo Song's butt, and quickly returned to defense.

It is said that the king is more concerned about football morality.

The players of the visiting team played a wave of top-ten-level cooperation and are celebrating on the field. If they pick up the ball immediately at this time, serve from the baseline and play a fast break, this wave of offense may be able to play more or less and steal a chicken.

The Kings players on the field did not do this, but continued to follow the tactical arrangements and fight in an orderly manner.

However, Bibby, who had rested during the quarter, because he hadn't warmed up after sitting on the court for a while, made his first shot in the second quarter and hit a clean iron.

Under the basket of the Pistons are Huo Song and Okur. The two strong men basically don't need to be blocked, and rely on their height and tonnage advantage to protect the defensive rebounds.

It was another positional battle, Hunter called Okur out to pick and roll, and Huo Song was ready to receive the ball from the strong side corner.

Although Huo Song is not a pick-and-roll catcher, he has just scored a well-completed lob, and now he is on the strong side again.

The king was worried that Hunter would pass to Huo Song instead of Okur in Xiashun, so Huo Song also stood beside Brad Miller.

When Hunter launched an attack, Williams in the corner on the weak side ran out from the baseline and turned to Huo Song.

Huo Song mentioned the 45-degree angle on the strong side and continued to cover for Hunter. Okur has already slid to the basket.

At this time, Gerald Wallace, who was defending Williams, also followed, and Miller, who was defending Huo Song, moved to the basket to prevent the basket from being easily scored by Okur.

Next, Bobby Jackson and Bibby double-teamed Hunter to limit Hunter's shots.

Huo Song dismantled to the top of the arc, Hunter passed the ball behind his back and handed the ball to Huo Song.

According to the tactics, Huo Song passed the ball to Tremene Forski who had already run to the corner of the weak side.

Because the weak side has been cleared, Trimane Forski under the empty cut basket did not spend much effort, and took a step and directly got up and dunked.

Brad Miller saw that Tremene Forski had rushed up, so he didn't take off to send a foul. He just stood still under the basket with his hands open and defended with physical confrontation.

Tremene Forski was worried about being fouled, so he temporarily changed the dunk to a layup and threw the ball first.

If you make temporary adjustments in the air, if your upper body strength and core strength are not enough, you may not be able to hold the ball.

Tremaine Foles is basically a second-round pick. If he didn't look good physically, he wouldn't have been a bench player all the time.

Originally, Huo Song was just pretending to run to the basket, but found that Tremene Forski seemed to have a problem with his shot, so he went on a run-up and took off directly.

Huo Song paid attention this time, his hands were in the air, and he didn't commit another rebounding foul.

Throughout the whole process, Huo Song relied on his own strength to catch the ball in the air, and then forcefully stuffed the ball into the basket.

"Huo Song made a tip-up and successfully dunked Brad Miller who was standing still."

"Huo Song deserves to be the No. [-] pick. His body is really good! Today is an eye-opener. Huo Song's enthusiasm for playing is really good."

"Actually, Huo Song had the opportunity to shoot a three-pointer from the top of the arc just now, and the opportunity has come."

"The opportunity is there, but Tremene Forski has a better chance to hit the basket. If Huo Song is on the weak side, there is no need to make a dunk at all. Just now he directly blocked the dunk."

"Yeah, that's the talent gap. Players are different from player to player."

"Huo Song, the second place in the ranking, may lack some competition experience, but he definitely does not lack the future."

In the first minute of the second quarter, not only the Pistons but Huo Song could score alone, but if you look at the whole game, you can find that all the scores come from Huo Song alone.

Huo Song dunked twice, one was a difficult alley-oop at the top ten level, and the other was full of enthusiasm, full of violent aesthetics, and a wonderful dunk against an all-star center.

It can be said that Huo Song turned the game into a personal show by relying on his physical talent and his own strength.

The king's director was also honest. After Huo Song completed two wonderful dunks, he gave a replay of the wonderful shots.

Among the fans at the scene, not only Kat Dennings was delighted and excited, but even the Kings fans couldn't help but gasp in amazement. Some fans even stood up from their seats, cheering Huo Song instead of cursing.

I have to say that this is the charm of basketball.

Fans who love basketball will never miss such a wonderful shot!

You won't be indifferent when you see this situation.

Convinced sincerely, yearning for it, and honored, this is the true portrayal of the fans' hearts.

Huo Song's dunk is not as coordinated and stretched as Carter's, but the sense of power is definitely not bad, and the picture is extremely shocking.

Dunk, it's not about jumping high in the first place, it's admirable from the bottom of your heart if you do a good job.

Face the challenge head-on through physical confrontation, and then slam the ball into the basket. The basket continues to roar, and even the defensive player is knocked down. When this happens, the fans are even more excited.

Having said that, although the Kings fans were not convinced by Huo Song, they have begun to pay attention to and recognize Huo Song as a rookie.

However, Huo Song's performance was too dazzling at the beginning of the second quarter, and it was difficult for the Kings not to focus on Huo Song's defense.

Originally, Huo Song was in charge of unlimited firepower, and wanted to vent his desire to attack in the second quarter.

But then there are two people following him from left to right or from front to back anytime, anywhere, let alone let Huo Song make a shot, just catching the ball is quite difficult.

For the next period of time, Huo Song didn't touch the ball, so he could only smoke in the corner to help the team open up space.

The Pistons relied on Hunter to sort out the offense, Huo Song attracted the defense, and then Okur and Williams fired fiercely and completed the finish efficiently.

After playing for 5 minutes in the second quarter, the two sides played 28 to 22. Kings coach Rick Adelman had to call a timeout to remove the defensive intensity that had to be imposed on Huo Song.

Although not all five members of the Pistons' second team have a good offensive ability, but if you say that you can't score if you strangle Huo Song, that's not always the case.

Since restricting Huo Song could not achieve the desired effect, Adelman had to change his thinking.

On the one hand, Adelman replaced Huo Song, on the other hand, he also replaced the main lineup to stabilize the situation.

After the timeout, the king's defender against Huo Song became the man who only changed Kobe-Verati Divac.

However, it was useless. The Pistons' second lineup played the Kings' three starting lineup. On paper, the Kings' lineup has an advantage, but the score is still the Pistons.

After returning from the timeout, Peja suddenly scored to Gerald Wallace, who broke into the basket to fight in the air, scored a layup, and won an additional penalty.

But the free throw missed, Okur grabbed the rebound, and the Pistons immediately launched a counterattack.

However, the king's return to defense was very disciplined. Hunter dribbled the ball to the free throw line, but he still made a half-circle and stood at a 45-degree angle on the strong side to observe the positioning of his teammates.

At this time, Huo Song stood at the bottom corner of the weak side, Okur squatted down to the basket on the strong side, Williams made an arc to catch and shoot, and Forski responded near the free throw line on the strong side.

Soon, Hunter called Forski to go over and set him a screen, Okur came out from the basket and ran towards the top arc, clearing the right side.

Hunter used the screen to get rid of the defense and rushed to the basket. Brad Miller was still staring at Okur before, but at this time he had to fill in the basket and cooperate with Bibby to double-team Hunter.

Facing front and rear pincers, Hunter chose to pass the ball to Forski who disassembled and made up to a 45-degree angle.

Immediately after the Pistons moved the ball in a wide range, Forski passed the ball to Okur in the top arc, and Okur passed the ball to Huo Song in the left corner.

At this time, Huo Song, who was waiting for work, relied on Hunter, Okur, and Williams to tear the King's defense before. After receiving the ball, he made a slight adjustment and directly shot a three-pointer.

Since Divac, who defended Huo Song, went to defend Okur before, the only person who can trouble Huo Song at this time is Gerald Wallace with excellent physical fitness.

But Gerald Wallace was still some distance away from Huo Song, so he could only rush towards Huo Song at the same time as Huo Song shot, trying to block the ball.

However, what happened next was that Huo Song had already thrown the ball without pressure. At the same time as Huo Song shot, Gerald Wallace patted Huo Song's hand.

Thanks to Gerald Wallace's desperate defense, it was superfluous. Originally, Huo Song missed the open three-pointer, but Gerald Wallace lost three free throws for this.

So, at the same time as Duang's sound, the whistle also sounded.Huo Song stood at the free throw line.

Although the right hand of the shooting hand was slapped, it didn't feel good, but Huo Song executed three free throws this time, but he was not troubled by his physical strength.

At the beginning of the second quarter, although Huo Song worked hard to buckle two, the experience of smoking in the bottom corner some time ago made Huo Song full of energy and energy.

Huo Song's first shot was a steady hit, but the second shot was a bit rough and he missed a free throw. Fortunately, the third shot just bounced off the frame and finally fell into the net steadily.

Three free throws and two hits, even the defenders can't find much fault, let alone Huo Song played as a center most of the time.

In the case that everyone generally only made 5% of free throws, Huo Song's free throws today are not bad.

Not to mention that Huo Song has only taken three shots so far in the second quarter, but he has already scored 6 points, and his true shooting percentage is as high as 100%!

I have to say that this efficiency is really terrifying!
Next, Huo Song successively got some mobile phone opportunities. Although Huo Song was forced to take over the low-post singles for a few times to attack strongly, but in general, he got some open opportunities created by tactics. Huo Song today in the second quarter The scoring efficiency is terrifying.

Huo Song not only scored a few difficult mid-range shots, but also hit a three-pointer. His scoring methods are quite comprehensive.

Calculating carefully, Huo Song made 9 of 5 shots in the second quarter, 1 of 1 three-pointers, 7 of 5 free throws, and scored 16 points.

Coupled with the 3 points scored in the first quarter, Huo Song had already scored 19 points in the first half, almost breaking 20 points.

The Pistons also relied on Huo Song's performance in the second quarter to suppress half of the king's main lineup with the second lineup and achieved a full 9-point lead.

After the first half, the score was 48-39.

The Kings basically maintained half of the main lineup in the second quarter, but the effect was not ideal. The defensive end was unstoppable, and the offensive end was only slightly better than the first quarter.

And this is better because the Pistons, who are better at defense, are not in the starting lineup.

It is conceivable how much pressure the Kings faced in the next third quarter.

"Before the game started, who would have thought that it was Huo Song, a rookie, who would put so much pressure on everyone?"

The on-site commentary still supports the king, but at this time, I have to admit that Huo Song has become the most important X factor in this game.
