Chapter 223 Stephen, get ready to play!

The game was also broadcast live on CCTV.

"Hello, viewers, welcome to watch the broadcast of NBA games brought to you by cctv-5."

"I'm Su Qun!"

"Hi everyone, I'm your old friend——Zhang Weiping."

In the live broadcast room, two commentators started.

"Today I bring you the game between the Houston Rockets and the Detroit Pistons!"

"Director Zhang, can you briefly analyze this game for us?"

Su Qun asked.

"Ok."

"Everyone is familiar with the Rockets. Let me give you a brief introduction to the Pistons."

"The Pistons are currently in a period of transition between the old and the new. The team includes the veterans of the 'Bad Boys Corps'-Ben Wallace, Tyshawn Prince and Richard-Hamilton, as well as the newly-emerged Ronaldo. Denis Stuckey."

"On the bench is Ben Gordon and 'Browless Man' - Villanueva."

Director Zhang looked at the information in his hand and introduced.

"The strength of this lineup is still good. It's a pity that the core players are getting older."

"If these veterans are a few years younger, then they are not easy to mess with!"

Su Qun commented.

"It is true. The Pistons are currently ranked tenth in the Eastern Conference and are still working hard for the playoffs. Therefore, even if the opponent is the league's No. [-] Rockets, they will not give up."

Zhang Weiping said with a smile.

"Okay, now the game is about to start, let's hand the camera to the front!"

Su Qun waved his hand, and the screen changed, and he arrived at the Palace of Auburn Hills.

...........

With the referee throwing the ball high, the game officially begins!

Yao Ming relaxed his ape arm and won the scrimmage with Ben Wallace.

Big Ben is 36 years old this year.

Once upon a time, the restricted area guarded by him and another Wallace, Rasheed Wallace, was a no-fly zone recognized by the league!

Daben himself, because of his strong defense, has been selected as an All-Star and the best defensive player many times.

Not only that, but he also won the league's rebounding leader and blocked shot leader.

This is not the scariest...

At his peak, Ben Wallace won 4 dpoy (best defensive player) in five seasons!

Simply put, he has been the strongest defensive player in the league for a long time!

It's a pity that these are past glory.

Since ancient times, heroes are like beauties, and the world is not allowed to see gray hair.

Since last season, Big Ben "returned to the roots" and returned to the Pistons from the Cavaliers. He was completely "old".

This season, Daben averaged 22.9 minutes per game and only scored 2.9 points, but he still had 6.5 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block per game.

If this kind of data is placed on an ordinary blue-collar insider, it is definitely not bad.

But on Ben Wallace, it is still a bit embarrassing.

Not to mention, at the peak of Daben, he had nothing to do with Yao Ming.

The strength he was proud of had no advantage in front of Dayao's thick lower limbs.

And Daben, who is in his early two meters, will appear very weak once he faces Yao Ming alone in defense.

Once, he single-handedly defended Yao Ming in the All-Star Game.

Big Ben went all out with a serious face.

But after this scene was photographed by the photographer from a long distance, it seemed a little funny.

The "cutest height difference" between Daben and Yao Ming made the former inexplicably have the illusion of Iverson (Ben had a ditch hairstyle at the time).

Huaxia netizens even wrote a text on this photo - Da Ben: "Just call me Xiaoai."

And the Rockets' first attack today was aimed at Ben Wallace.

After Yao Ming received the ball in the low post, he directly started playing back.

The continuous leaning made Da Ben behind him extremely uncomfortable.

If it is an ordinary defensive player, when encountering a heavy center like Yao Ming or O'Neal, he will often try to draw an offensive foul.

But Daben's defense method has always been head-to-head, and he will never take half a step back.

It's a pity that now his strength is far from what it used to be.

In order to keep healthy, Big Ben had to lose weight.

Therefore, Yao Ming easily crushed into the paint, turned around and slammed the ball into the basket.

2:0, the Rockets took the lead!

In the first round, Da Ben was dunked on the head by his opponent, and he was naturally very upset.

Looking back, he took the initiative to pick and roll for the team's central defender - Stuckey, and actively went down to look for opportunities.

Stuckey, 24 years old, is now the core of the Pistons' backcourt and is also regarded as Billups' successor.

The Pistons have very high expectations of him, giving him unlimited firepower and a lot of tactical support.

The salary was so high that some netizens nicknamed Stuckey—Prince Ki to describe his status in the Pistons.

With the support of the whole team, Stuckey averaged 16.6 points per game in his third season.

This kind of data, although not as good as Evans, who can get 20+ monsters in the first season, is still good enough.

It's a pity that this buddy is good at everything, but his passing ability is not good.

As a high-usage, long-term possession guard, he has not averaged 5 assists per game in a season.

This time, Stuckey also didn't notice Big Ben's move, and missed an easy chance to score in vain.

Of course, he can't blame him for this ball.

Since Big Ben returned to the Pistons for more than a year, the number of active offenses may be less than double digits.

Such a quick pick-and-roll, not only did Stuckey fail to react, Yao Ming, who was defending Ben Wallace, also failed to notice.

In and out, Stuckey was forced close to the sideline.

In desperation, he could only choose to jump up and pass the ball.

However, the next moment, George, like a bolt of lightning, suddenly appeared on Stuckey's passing route and blocked the ball.

After half a season of training, Pickle's defensive awareness is already very good.

When Stuckey was driven to the sideline by his teammates, he lowered his center of gravity and was ready to steal.

After completing the steal, George was unimpeded in front of him.

He easily advanced to the Pistons frontcourt, counted the steps, and took a step in the free throw line with both feet left and right...

"bang!"

After George spun 360° in the air, he slammed the ball into the basket with one hand!

"woo..."

Such a wonderful dunk also made the Pistons fans in the Palace of Auburn Hills couldn't help but let out bursts of exclamation.

One minute later, the Rockets once again used excellent defense to allow the Pistons' little prince, oh no, it should be called the old prince-Prince's offense to return without success.

After Yao Ming grabbed the rebound, he handed the ball to McGrady, and the latter stepped up his long legs and launched a counterattack!

After coming to the frontcourt, t-mac attracted the defense of two Pistons, followed by a no-look-pass, and handed the ball to Griffin who followed up.

Not surprisingly, the White Demonic Beast is out of the cage!

After receiving the ball, he didn't make extra adjustments and took off directly.

Griffin's bullet speed and explosive power are higher than George's.

At this moment, he is doing all he can, and the visual impact is even scarier than the pickled peppers just now!

Now guarding the Pistons penalty area is the rookie power forward selected by the Pistons last year-Austin Daye.

He saw Griffin flying towards him like a tiger descending a mountain, and he just stood there, forgot to raise his hand.

"bang!"

It was another powerful dunk. The difference from before was that Griffin directly knocked Daye out, and then violently abused the basket!

"Roar!!!"

After scoring the goal, Griffin roared passionately and roared loudly to the sky.

The two consecutive dunks also made the Rockets' morale quickly reach their peak.

In the next few minutes, they fought more and more courageously, and quickly gained the lead.

With 5 minutes left in the first quarter, the score came to 30:15, and the Rockets had already led by as many as 15 points.

At this moment, Mark Jackson on the sidelines suddenly turned around and shouted at the bench...

"Stephen, get ready to play!"
