Chapter 102 Christmas Battle



Returning to the home court I am familiar with, although the Spurs are still fighting with an eight-man lineup, it is still not a problem to deal with a weak team like the Raptors. Although it is not a big victory, compared to the win against the Knicks , this at least the entire game has not escaped the control of the Spurs.

In the game against the Knicks, if the Knicks were given another quarter, then the Spurs would definitely lose in the end. They could allow their opponents to score 38 more points in one quarter and allow their opponents to score in a single quarter. [-], both firsts for the Spurs this season.

After winning the Toronto Raptors, Christmas, the most important holiday for Westerners, came. Stephen spent the first lonely Christmas Eve in his life at the training ground. After talking on the phone, Stephen still felt a little lonely.

On the night of Christmas, the league arranged for four teams to participate in two Christmas games. They were the Miami Heat vs. the Los Angeles Lakers at home. Pat Riley's matchup with Zen Master Jackson has also become a gimmick, broadcast live by abc across the United States, and another game is a matchup between the two teams with the best records in the east and west of the league. It has to be said that the league is really very foresighted. It has already anticipated this situation when it arranged the schedule before the start of the season, so this game is also very attractive to the audience. Of course, these two teams met. It must be extremely ugly.

Up to now, the Spurs have a record of 22 wins and [-] losses, while the Pistons are only one win behind and come in second. However, the Pistons have played a good seven-game winning streak in recent times, but the Spurs have just won from both sides. In comparison, the state of the Spurs is more worrying.

At the same time, the injury problem of the Spurs led to the absence of several main teammates. On the other hand, the Pistons are at their best when they are strong and strong. After a long period of time, the Spurs are hardly favored by anyone. , In this case, the Spurs arrived in Detroit, the world-famous "Motor City".

Since the Pistons didn't have any strong forwards and guards, Stephen was not sent to start. When the game started, it was as expected by the media. The game was one-sided. Got eight points, yes, you read that right, eight points, although not the league's lowest score in a single quarter, but it set a record for the lowest score in a single quarter of the Christmas game.

These eight points were scored by Tony Parker alone. All other starters, including Duncan, scored zero points. Moreover, Parker scored the first six points of the eight points at the beginning of the game. The Spurs basically scored no points.

Of course, the Pistons' score is not high, only 90 points, but it is much better than the Spurs. Of course, the situation of the game between these two teams is naturally extremely ugly. Kenny Smith and Barkley are still in charge of the live commentary on tnt TV for this game. Speaking of today's game, Kenny Smith said to Barkley: "If the last time the Spurs played against the Heat was a preview of the finals , The Pistons vs. Spurs made me feel like I was back in the [-]s and [-]s. The superb tactical quality and iron-blooded defensive style made me feel very excited. I want to return to the game. How about you, Buck Sir Leigh, do you feel that way?"

"No, this kind of defense is very trivial to me. You know, last time there was a vote "Who do you think is the most difficult player to defend", and I won No. 1." Barkley smiled honestly, two The big eyes flickered, as if reminiscing about that feeling.

"No, I remember that the vote No.1 was Michael, why did you become you?" Kenny Smith asked in feigned surprise, he guessed that Barkley would definitely say, Jordan, he does not belong to human beings, who knew this? Buckley didn't say that this time, but changed the way of saying: "You don't know, my eyes have a special function, which will automatically block the name I don't want to see."

"Hehe, by the way, did you know that you now have a new nickname, no longer Flying Pig, Jazz, Villain, Big Mouth, etc. This nickname is very mystical, can you guess it?" Kenny Smith refused to make a fuss about this matter, so he changed the subject again.

"New nickname? Why don't I know, I also often watch TV online recently? Mysticism, do I have anything to do with mysticism?" Buckley asked puzzled.

"Because you accurately predicted Pat Riley's comeback last time, everyone unanimously decided to give you a new nickname, that is "God Stick". Do you like it?" Kenny Smith asked with a smile.

"God stick? What do you mean? Why don't I know?" Barkley scolded Kenny in his heart, and said in his heart, you lie to the devil, who doesn't know that Pat Riley is coming back, because he was in the league. Everyone can guess it, but no one wants to say it. You tricked me into saying it, and even gave me a weird nickname.

"Is it a magic stick? People in the past were lost and didn't know which direction to go. They would take out a small wooden stick that they carried with them, and then put it upright. If the stick fell in that direction, they would walk in that direction. Quite high, this kind of stick is called a magic stick, which means you have the ability to predict." Kenny explained to Barkley in detail.

"Really, is this called a magic stick? Is it really effective?" Barkley had never heard of this allusion, so he didn't know that Kenny was making fun of him, so he asked with great interest.

"It's very effective. Before the Chinese invented the compass, it was the most effective guide." Kenny couldn't help laughing happily when he saw that Barkley didn't know anything.

"Hehe, you're molesting me again. I'll check when the broadcast explains it." Barkley was used to being molested a long time ago, and he didn't think there was anything wrong.

When the two were teasing each other, the second quarter had already begun, and the Spurs had also replaced the bench lineup. Popovich didn't say anything. The current lineup of the Pistons is basically a defenseless lineup. , There are no dead ends and no loopholes. This is also the most successful defensive system created by Larry Brown. Coupled with Sanders' offensive tactics, this kind of Pistons is very scary.

Carlesimo told Stephen, try not to hit the basket. The inside lineup composed of two Wallaces is almost invincible. If you rush in, you can only find a cap, and the two Wallaces, especially "Big Ben" Ben Wallace is also very powerful. Against him, Stephen will not be able to exert any strength advantage.

Stephen can also see clearly off the court that the Pistons' defense is really good. They need the outside line to have the outside line, and the inside line to have the inside line. ?Stephen couldn't believe it.

When Stephen came to the field, a thin figure quickly stood in front of Stephen. His name was Tayshaun Prince, and he was a small forward. His role in the team was similar to that of Bruce Bowen, except for defending the opposing team's top forward. In addition to being a defender, he also plays the role of team defense and flanking. Generally speaking, he is the most important part of the Pistons' defense.

He is [-] meters tall, and his wingspan is more than [-] meters according to Stephen's vision. Stephen tried it, and despite his thin body, his strength is not bad. Just relying on strength to overwhelm Stephen felt unreliable, so he had to slow down. Slowly squeezed in, while thinking about how to open up the current unfavorable situation of the team.

The first point is to score, but how to score, there is no advantage in any position, even if Robert Horry runs outside the three-point line, Rasheed Wallace can follow you outside, Stephen looked around , I found that everyone couldn't get rid of it, so it seemed that I had to do it myself.

Stephen was moving and suddenly stopped, Prince stopped at the same time as expected, still clinging to Stephen, but Stephen suddenly took a step backwards, Prince did not follow, still as if Just as before, he took a defensive posture and waited in place.

Seeing that the fake action didn't work, Stephen had no choice but to take back his half-raised hand. Originally, Stephen didn't intend to force the shot. As long as Prince followed, Stephen could half-turn and half-take, occupying a favorable position, but The opponent didn't move at all. It seemed that he knew that Stephen's shooting ability was not strong, and he didn't like to shoot wildly.

In fact, what Stephen is worried about is the opponent's wingspan. This distance is definitely not a safe shooting distance. Instead of shooting, it is better to find a more secure way of shooting. Stephen and Brent Barry made a cooperation, and the two exchanged a player. , before Prince returned to himself, Stephen used his strength to squeeze Hamilton away, only one step forward, Rasheed Wallace rushed over, Stephen hit the left side of the ground and passed the ball again. to Robert Horry.

But at this time Ben Wallace also turned around. Facing the three-time best defensive player, Robert Horry did not intend to head-on. Run Stephen behind him.

At this time, Prince was only one step away from Stephen. Seeing that Stephen received the ball, Prince hurriedly quickened his pace and took off to block Stephen's shot, but it was too late. Jumping high, since he is already only one meter away from the basket, this place is already within Stephen's range, and the opponent's Rasheed Wallace ran out of the penalty area because of the defense and has not returned yet. Ben Wallace The soldier was blocked there by Robert Horry. Although Prince had already taken off, it was already too late if he made a wrong step. When his hand waved over, the ball in Stephen's hand happened to be released.

"Beep", the referee blew his whistle when the goal was scored, because Stephen and Prince were both in the air, and it was clear that Prince's hand hit Stephen's arm, two points were valid and another penalty was required One goal, when Stephen stood on the free throw line and used his own empty toilet to hit the free throw, he felt relieved. It was too difficult to attack once, and the defense was simply suffocating.
