NBA: James wants to team up with me

Chapter 163: Continuous attacks at the beginning, confusing the Pistons

Disguised breakthroughs in front of the body are originally Durant's signature skills. During his peak period, Durant basically relied on this move when he broke through with the ball. It exploded very quickly in an instant, coupled with the added advantage of his long legs. The extremely large step distance makes it impossible to guard against.

Now Wang Chong has combined Iverson's butterfly step with Durant's own forward body change, adding more realistic fake moves without losing speed.

Prince didn't have time to react. He just felt a "swish" and Wang Chong passed by him and rushed straight towards the penalty area.

"So fast!" The frightened Prince quickly turned sideways and chased Wang Chong. At the same time, Ben Wallace, who was guarding the penalty area, also began to take the initiative to meet Wang Chong.

Prince can't guard Wang Chong. This is the consensus of the Pistons before the game. Therefore, the Pistons have already prepared a response. Boss has already been keeping an eye on Wang Chong's movements and waiting for opportunities. move.

When he discovered that Wang Chong had passed Prince, he immediately rushed towards Wang Chong.

As I said before, what Ben was best at during his peak period was assisting in defense. He was the Pistons' last line of defense and the strong shield for the Pistons' ultimate defense.

At this moment, Ben and Prince were in tandem, forming a pincer attack on Wang Chong.

But when Wang Chong faced the upcoming double-team, he remained calm and braked one step in front of the free throw line to make an emergency jumper.

At this time, Ben had already arrived in front of Wang Chong, jumping up with Wang Chong and raising his hands in an attempt to interfere with the defense.

But after the two jumped up at the same time, the huge gap made the Pistons fans on the sidelines speechless.

This gap is really too big.

Da Ben, who is just over 2 meters tall at most, is really too short in front of Wang Chong, and there is not much difference in the starting height between the two. As a result, even if Da Ben raises his hand with all his strength, he is still a long way away from the basketball. His only All he can do is try to block Wang Chong's sight, thereby interfering with Wang Chong's hit rate.

But at this time, the distance between Wang Chong and the basket is only about 12 feet. For Wang Chong, this is already a very close distance. He has reached the full value of 99 in mid-range shooting, plus sharpshooters and mid-range shooting experts. With the blessing of the badge, Ben Wallace's little defensive interference is not a concern at all.

"Shh!"

The hollow basketball net is put into the basket.

Wang Chong came out on top for the Bulls.

2: 0.

At this time, Pistons fans have not yet realized the seriousness of the matter. After all, Wang Chong is the scoring leader in the regular season. His average of 35.6 points per game is enough to rival Jordan back then. He can be defended by Ben Wallace. The score is also normal.

But as the game continued, Pistons fans gradually began to realize that something was wrong.

When the Pistons attacked, Billups took advantage of his strong body and used his strength to forcefully run over Ellis and rush into the penalty area to attack the basket.

But he faced a similar situation to Wang Chong.

Tyson Chandler, who was guarding the Bulls' interior, came up immediately to cover the defense.

If we talk about defensive ability alone, Ben Wallace, who has won the Defensive Player of the Year three times and will most likely win DPOY again this year, is definitely better than Chandler.

But the positioning of the two on the court is really similar. Chandler is also a blue-collar center with good mobility and rim protection. Although he does not have the strength, explosiveness and shot-blocking ability of Ben Wallace, he has the money. Dele also has his own advantages, such as his outstanding height of 2 meters and wingspan of 16 meters, which are outstanding among centers.

Chandler's career average number of blocks per game is not high, but with his exaggerated height and wingspan, even if his blocking data is average, his ability to protect the rim is very strong.

Billups rushed into the penalty area and his shot was interfered by Chandler and missed the basket.

Bulls offense.

The basketball was handed over to Wang Chong again, and he continued to face Prince's defense. Wang Chong called his teammates to pick and roll and then hit a mid-range jumper.

4: 0.

In the Pistons' offensive round, the Pistons chose another attempt. Billups passed the ball to Rasheed Wallace, and Roaring Tianzun held the ball and beat Wang Chong in singles.

At his peak, Rasheed Wallace was also an All-Star insider who averaged 19 points and 8 rebounds per game. And unlike his various controversial technical fouls on the court, Roaring God's offense was not reckless at all. The feeling is rather delicate, with a smooth shooting feel and outstanding technique.

Of course, the Pistons made this arrangement because of their considerations. Although Wang Chong's offensive ability is already at the top level in the league, his defensive ability is relatively average. Moreover, after a regular season, the league's teams have no regard for Wang Chong. All have a basic understanding.

Wang Chong's physical fitness is not bad, and he occasionally plays the whole game, but compared with Kobe and James, he is obviously lacking in physical fitness. Therefore, he often only attacks but does not defend on the court. If he is against him, If a player's offensive ability is relatively strong, he will switch defenses with other teammates.

Therefore, the Pistons also want to use a method similar to the military training of Wang Chong, trying to consume as much of Wang Chong's physical energy on the defensive end so that he cannot devote all his strength to the offensive end.

This defensive tactic has become very common later on, and is mostly used against players who have outstanding offensive abilities but not strong defense, such as Curry of the Warriors and Harden during the Rockets era.

Durant is naturally not included in this list, because although he has not been selected for the best defensive team, Durant's height and wingspan are destined to not be too weak on the defensive end.

This also works well for Wang Chong. Not only that, because of the system mission rewards, Wang Chong also has two silver-level defensive badges at this time, specializing in death coiling from the outside and strengthening the ability to protect the basket. Basketball elite.

To put it bluntly, as long as Wang Chong is serious, it is not difficult to be selected for the best defensive team.

When he saw Rasheed Wallace holding the ball and trying to beat him in singles, Wang Chongdang couldn't help but sneer in his heart even though he figured out the reason.

"You still want to train me in the military? Are you thinking too simply?"

He decided to give the opponent a knock on the mountain and shake the tiger.

Before Rasheed Wallace could make further moves, Wang Chong took a step closer to the opponent. While his body continued to put pressure on the opponent, his hands also continued to interfere with Rasheed Wallace's dribbling rhythm. .

The sudden attack caught Roaring Tianzun off guard. Although he also has a certain ability to attack with the ball, after all, his main position is as an inside power forward, and he does not have as good a dribbling ability as Wang Chong.

In a panic, he could only subconsciously protect the ball with both hands to ensure that it would not be intercepted by Wang Chong.

But even so, Wang Chong still saw the right moment and took a precise poke, knocking the basketball out of Rashid's hand.

Wang Chong ignored the painful finger, bent down to pick up the basketball, took a long stride, and headed straight for the Pistons' backcourt!

Rasheed Wallace chased after Wang Chong, but he couldn't catch up with Wang Chong at all.

This is normal. Durant's speed and agility at his peak reached 80. Although he is not fast among the double 90 guards everywhere, it is a dimensionality reduction compared with big players who are over 2 meters tall.

<divclass="contentadv">Wang Chong estimates that there are probably only two big players in the league today who can rival or even be faster than him in terms of speed, and one is about to reach his peak in the next few years. Warcraft Dwight Howard, and the other is Wolf King Kevin Garnett.

But now Garnett is about to turn 30. Although he still maintains his peak competitive state, it is not certain whether his athletic ability can reach the level he had in his early 20s.

Wang Chong galloped all the way to the basket and successfully scored with a one-handed dunk. This was his third score since the start of the game.

The Bulls beat the Pistons 6:0, a fantastic start.

At this time, the fans at the Pistons' home court began to feel that something was wrong.

What is your team playing?

On the defensive end, Wang Chong scored 6 points in a row, and on the offensive end, he made consecutive mistakes.

This is completely different from what various experts and professional commentators said before the game. Shouldn't the Bulls be completely blocked by the Pistons' iron-blooded defense and lose this game without any suspense?

It seems that the Pistons' defense is not as strong as expected, and there is nothing they can do against Wang Chong.

The Pistons obviously noticed something was wrong with the rhythm. Wang Chong seemed to be playing a little harshly at the beginning of the game!

In the next round of offense, the Pistons were extremely careful in their offensive choices. It lasted for 24 seconds. Hamilton made a lot of off-ball moves to get rid of Laga Bell and succeeded in a mid-range catch and jump shot. Finally, the Pistons got a chance. Take the lead.

6: 2.

I have to admit that although Laga Bell's defense is strong, but when encountering a guy like Hamilton who runs all over the field and seems to be running to death, he can only secretly say that he is unlucky.

Facing Hamilton, in many cases it cannot be called defense at all. It is more appropriate to describe it as a race.

The Pistons' successful scoring finally reassured everyone, but immediately following the Bulls, Wang Chong made another mediocre jump shot from the mid-range.

"Shh!"

The basketball hit the net again.

8: 2!

Now comes the problem, how should Wang Chong solve it?

The Pistons couldn't think of a way for a while, and they didn't expect that Wang Chong would be so determined to hold the ball in singles at the beginning of the game, as if he was not afraid of exhausting his energy before the end of the game.

They could only call a timeout and readjust their defensive tactics.

Less than 3 minutes into the first quarter, the Pistons, who were playing at home, were beaten by Wang Chongsheng and called a timeout, which was somewhat embarrassing.

Wang Chong's chest rose and fell slightly as he walked to the bench, wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead. The continuous attacks were really exhausting, especially since he still had to deal with Rasheed Wallace on the defensive end.

However, such efforts are obviously valuable, and the Pistons were obviously thrown into disarray by Wang Chong.

The current head coach of the Pistons is no longer the famous coach Larry Brown, but replaced by Flip Saunders.

Sanders was previously the head coach of the Timberwolves and coached the Timberwolves for ten full seasons. His best result was leading the Timberwolves to the Western Conference Finals.

But last season, under the guidance of Sanders, the Timberwolves only managed a record of 25 wins and 26 losses, which led to Sanders being kicked out of the team midway.

And he successfully found a new job with the Pistons in the summer, which was to succeed Larry Brown as the Pistons coach.

As far as coaching ability is concerned, although Larry Brown is stubborn, does not know how to adapt, hates young players, and has an overly strong coaching style, he is still one of the few coaches in the league with a wealth of coaching experience.

On the other hand, Flip Saunders' past career resume alone is not brilliant enough, and it is difficult to suppress the Pistons' group of thorns.

In fact, one of the main reasons why Ben Wallace, who is regarded as the soul of the Pistons, chose to leave the Pistons after this season was because of his disagreement with head coach Saunders. In addition, part of the reason was that the Pistons did not Willing to provide a maximum salary to Ben Wallace, who is actually just a blue-collar player.

In the summer of 2006, Ben Wallace chose to leave the Pistons and join the Chicago Bulls for 4 million in four years. The era of the Pistons' Five Tigers officially came to an end.

Of course, the Bulls will definitely not provide Ben Wallace with a contract offer now. Even if the management has this idea, Wang Chong will try his best to stop it.

Are you kidding me?

4 million in four years, with an average annual salary of 6000 million. Duncan next door was only worth this before 1500.

Spending such a huge price to hire a blue-collar center whose role on the field is essentially the same as Tyson Chandler's, and who may even face the risk of a shark-killing tactic due to poor free throws, is there a point?

To be honest, Wang Chong really couldn't understand the original thinking of the Bulls management.

You have already renewed your long-term contract with Chandler, why bother with Ben Wallace? Then in order to provide Ben with enough playing time, Tyson Chandler was traded to the Hornets.

Ben played only one and a half seasons with the Bulls and then traded him to the Cavaliers, going back and forth.

However, this crazy operation can be regarded as a fool's blessing, which allowed them to win the No. 07 pick in the 08- season, pick up the famous rose, and become the youngest regular season MVP record holder in the future, Derrick Rose.

Of course, that's all for later.

All in all, the Pistons' current head coach's coaching ability has dropped significantly compared to last season's Larry Brown, and the team's players are not convinced by this airborne head coach.

During the timeout, Sanders directly arranged for Prince and Rasheed Wallace to double-team Wang Chong in the next game to curb Wang Chong's scoring efficiency.

As for the vacancies on the court when the two double-teamed Wang Chongshi, the other three players, especially Ben Wallace inside, used their mobility advantages to cover the gaps.

He thought very well, but after the timeout, the situation did not develop as he thought.

Faced with the double-teaming of Prince and Rasheed, Wang Chong's number of shots indeed dropped sharply, but the pressure on the other three Pistons players increased sharply when faced with the Bulls' four-man attack.

Fortunately, with Ben's top-notch defensive capabilities, the Pistons' defense can still barely hold up. Overall, it can be considered a success.

But as Wang Chong thought, the Pistons' problem has never been that their defense is not strong enough, but that their offense is not good enough.

Limiting Wang Chong's scoring failed to solve another problem the Pistons faced at the beginning of the game, which was the offensive problem.

The Bulls' defense was like a weakened version of the Pistons. Tyson Chandler guarding the basket was really difficult to deal with, which gave Billups a headache. The Pistons only relied on Hamilton's mid-range shot after running without the ball. , the efficiency is not much better than that of the Bulls.

The result was that after the first quarter, the scores between the Bulls and the Pistons were 26:21 respectively. The Bulls defeated the Pistons by 5 points in the away game and took the initiative in the game.
