Add One, I Don’t Know How To Fight

On October 29th, the opening game of the 2002-03 NBA regular season officially begins!

In order to take care of Chinese fans, the Pistons VS Green Kai game was moved to the end.

As a result, when the game started, it was almost lunch break and tea time on the Chinese side.

Domestically, the 2002-03 season is a very high-profile season.

Because this is Li Ang's first year away from Toronto, everyone is eager to see if China's number one basketball player can perform well elsewhere.

At noon, the cafeterias of countless units and schools are packed with people.

Every TV in the cafeteria is playing NBA games.

In Boston, Li Ang and his teammates are already preparing in the locker room.

Carlisle looked at the players in front of him and felt a little nervous.

This summer's transfer was the result of a long discussion between Carlisle and Dumas before identifying these players.

Originally, the Pistons wanted to rely on Stackhouse + Ben, this pair of super guards + defensive centers, to dominate the league.

But the loss last season was a blow to Dumars and Carral. Although Stackhouse averaged an exaggerated 29.8 points per game in the 2000-01 season, he averaged nearly 30 points per game!

But in the playoffs, his performance had nothing to do with the word "super".

In the playoffs last season, when the team needed him most, he could only average 17.6 points on 32.1% shooting per game.

The low hit rate is actually not incomprehensible. But 32.1%, this is no longer a low issue.

There is no difference between this and nothing!

That's why Carlisle and Dumars learned from the experience and basically conducted a soft reconstruction of the Pistons.

There is no way to become a superstar, the only way is to take team basketball.

In their plan, there is no problem if they want to go this route.

But plans are plans, and competitive sports cannot be done by relying solely on Wai Wai.

You still have to fight to know the result.

Today's game is a test for this new Pistons.

After changing his equipment, Ben clapped his hands vigorously, causing everyone in the locker room to focus on him.

"Hey guys, take it easy. I know when we go out on the court, those son-of-a-bitch fans in Boston are going to greet us with the most vicious words in the world.

But together we can silence these proud bastards.

Play tough and stay united! "

"Play tough and unite!"

As Ben expected, as soon as the Pistons players came on the stage, there was unbridled abuse from the stands.

The most talented people in Boston basically gather in North Shore Garden.

Among them, the ones who were scolded the most were Leon and Billups.

One is the defeated player of Lukai last season, and the other is the abandoned player of Lukai.

Boston fans used all kinds of humiliating words to humiliate these two people.

Among them, there are naturally some discriminatory words and actions.

Billups remained expressionless but clenched his fists.

Li Ang glanced at Billups and said, the good thing he brought last night.

"Ouch, ouch, look who's here. The MVP of the World Championships is here, and I'm so far away, hahahaha!"

At this point, Pierce entered the scene.

Before the game even started, his annoying trash talk started.

"The MVP of the World Championships is just something external. The key is to lead the team to win. If I only finished sixth, I probably wouldn't be happy if I won the MVP."

Li Ang was not angry, but smiled and stimulated Pierce with the fact that his dream team only finished sixth in the World Championships.

As expected, Pierce became gnashing his teeth. The essence of trash talk is to accurately find the other party's pain points.

For example, if you criticize Kobe, you have to say to him: "I don't talk to the Lakers' second son."

The sixth place in the World Championships is Pierce's pain point.

"Hey, you said it's the same Celtics. Larry Bird plays with his left hand. I'm afraid the Dream Team won't fall to sixth place, right?" Seeing that Pierce was so angry, Li Ang pursued the victory.

"Leon, keep scolding me!" Pierce gritted his teeth and used other people's deeds to show off his own fault. "Leon, you are so vicious!"

In the verbal battle before the game, Li Ang undoubtedly won the victory.

Li Ang's trash talk has never been about quantity, but mainly about quality.

Of course, there is a reason why Li Ang doesn't talk trash much. Because if he is really angry, he will stop talking trash to you.

Wouldn't it feel good to just give him a beating?

Before the start of the game, Antoine Walker accepted an interview with reporters.

The reporter was also frantically stirring up trouble. He asked Fat Tou Tuo what he thought of Li Ang saying that the Pistons would become the most difficult team in the league.

Fat Toutuo didn't think much about it. He thought about last season's playoffs, and it seemed that it was not particularly difficult to eliminate Li Ang.

So, he approached the microphone: "We are a greater threat."

The game was about to begin, and the shouts in the North Shore Gardens had reached their peak.

On the Pistons side, the starting five are Billups, Hamilton, Michael Curry and the headache combination.

On the Green Kai side are J.R. Bremer, Pierce, Eric Williams, Fat Volute and Tony Batty.

Ben walked into the center circle with an afro. This new hairstyle really made him look a lot taller.

And Li Ang also discovered a very terrifying fact. If I didn’t have an afro,

Then I'm not the tallest among the Pistons' starting lineup?

That’s outrageous!

At the beginning of the game, although Ben was short, he was quick and won the ball first from Tony Barty.

After Billups got the ball, he slowly approached the three-point line, and many Boston fans laughed.

Just Billups, still pretending to be able to organize?

When Billups was at Greencap, he didn't even know what he was supposed to do, let alone organize it.

Because the offensive time of one round in the NBA is shorter than that in the NCAA, Billups couldn't find the rhythm at all from the beginning.

After transferring to the Nuggets, the Nuggets simply used him as the second position and did not let him hold the ball.

In people's inherent impression, Billups can't organize at all.

Pierce went to pester Li Ang personally, but Li Ang just stood outside the three-point line, waiting for Billups to give orders.

Billups raised his hand and showed two fingers. In an instant, the entire Pistons team started to move.

Hamilton began to take his opponent for a ride, and Ben was brought up to cover Li Ang.

Because Ben didn't take a shot, Green Kai center Tony Barty huddled directly under the basket without any defense.

Li Ang took advantage of the screen and ran to the left. Pierce was blocked by the strong Ben. When Li Ang was in position, Billups' pass was delivered just right.

Li Ang caught the ball and shot, the rhythm was perfect and there was no interference at all.

With a "swipe" sound, the basketball entered the net lightly, and the Pistons scored on the first attack.

"Beautiful pass, Billups' timing of passing was very good, and Leon's movement was also very coordinated.

To be honest, they don't look like a team that just came together. "

After the goal, Li Ang looked at Pierce, shook his head and said: "Is this the sixth-place defense?"

Pierce's lungs almost exploded with anger. This matter of sixth place is over, right?

Damn it, why is Li Ang talking so viciously now?

I'm warning you Li Ang, do you think I dare not flatter you?

Damn it, it’s not that I don’t dare, I just can’t beat him.

Pierce shook his head, Li Ang is just a paper tiger, look at how I, the strongest small forward in the Eastern Conference, will abuse you on the offensive end!

"Ouch, ouch, I am Cao!"

However, the Pierce man was already hurt by Li Ang before he stepped into the three-point line.

What did Carlisle say in the training camp before?

"Don't be afraid of pain, the defensive end is all about confrontation! Failure to defend against confrontation is like reading a novel without pictures, it has no soul!"

When Carlisle was still a player, he was playing alongside Bird, Parish and others.

Although he is a white player, he also understands the importance of confrontation.

Therefore, when he coaches the team, he also places great emphasis on confrontation.

Li Ang kept this in mind, and he was rougher on the defensive end than in the previous three seasons!

Seeing that Pierce couldn't come in for a long time, Li Ang shrugged: "Don't be nervous, our coach said, don't be afraid of pain. Just be patient and push hard, and you'll be in."

Pierce took a step away, looked at the basket, and calmed down.

After dribbling the ball a few times, Pierce suddenly assumed a posture of breaking through to the left.

Li Ang was about to retreat, but found that Pierce just made a hesitant step.

Pierce's sudden change of pace caught Li Ang off guard.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he changed direction to break through and penetrated into the penalty area!

Needless to say, Pierce's ability is indeed very strong. This is not a novel. Pierce will not be inexplicably weaker just because he is Leon's opponent.

Li Ang quickly turned around and chased after him, but Pierce was not slow either. The most important thing is that there is no one in the penalty area now.

Last season, the league changed its defensive rules.

Allow zone defense, cancel illegal defense, and set defense for three seconds.

This puts the center players at a disadvantage, and those centers who squat under the basket are miserable.

Allowing zone defense and setting up defense for three seconds is like taking off your pants and farting.

The sluggish big centers are crying, while the outside players are even more unscrupulous in their breakthroughs. It is common for the inside to be left empty.

But there is still a group of people who benefit from this rule, and that is defense monsters like Garnett and Ben!

As soon as Pierce entered the penalty area, he saw an afro flying in front of him with a "swish" sound.

"What is this, what is this, ah?" Pierce was frightened and made an electronic sound in the air.

There was obviously no one in the penalty area just now, but now when he was about to take action, someone suddenly appeared.

Is this a surprise?

"boom!"

The next second, Pierce felt as if his whole body was knocked out.

Because Ben sprinted over to block Pierce, the impact was very strong.

foul? No, no, no, Ben covered the basketball first in the air, and then hit Pierce.

Therefore, according to the standards of this era, this kind of ball is generally not played.

With a beautiful volleyball shot, Ben once again demonstrated his top assist defense ability.

Since the NBA revised its defensive rules, Ben, Garnett, O'Neal and other defensive monsters have also ushered in spring.

The elimination of illegal defense has also caused the power of Shaq's beast in the paint area to plummet!

Therefore, wanting to beat the Lakers in the future is really not a fantasy.

Pierce lay on the ground, his eyes dull.

no

I play basketball, right?

When did basketball and football become so integrated?

He will be beaten by Li Ang outside the three-point line, and he will be hit by Big Ben when he enters the inside.

Can you still have fun playing?

No, this is the Pistons' defensive strategy!

The Pistons' defense means one word: pressure.

Pressure the guy with the ball and pressure the guy without the ball. Anyway, it’s about taking the upper hand and taking the initiative.

Only when you are on top can you control the rhythm.

The Pistons' defense does not allow the opponent to shoot easily, nor does it allow the opponent to pass or receive the ball easily, completely destroying the opponent's cooperation.

Of course, you can choose to break through in singles, just like Pierce just did.

But don’t be too happy about your breakthrough, because there is a lion king waiting for you inside.

Don't be afraid of pain, just die suddenly.

This is the Pistons' defensive strategy, blocking and blocking on the outside, and defending and blocking shots on the inside. Pierce was fortunate to be the first person to try it out.

Soon enough, Ben's block sent the ball flying to the midfield line.

Billups quickly caught up, caught the basketball, and moved forward.

At this time, Li Ang had also followed up, and this sudden counterattack formed a two-on-two Kikubu.

Brehmer and Eric Williams retreated wildly, almost losing their lives.

Antoine Walker was walking leisurely behind.

As a three-point shooter with only one testicle, my physical fitness is used for shooting. How can I follow you and run around blindly?

Billups did not look at Li Ang behind him and continued to break through.

Bremer and Williams then went to block Billups. Billups has never been an organizational defender. How could he see Leon behind him.

Billups continued to accelerate, penetrated into the paint, and then jumped up and raised his hands for a layup.

However, when Bremer and Williams jumped up to block the ball, they saw that Billups didn't have a basketball in his hand at all!

Instead of a layup, he threw the ball backwards. It was a pass!

Billups quickly ran away after landing, leaving only Bremer and Williams who looked confused.

At this moment, in front of them, Li Ang had caught the basketball in the air and tensed his body, preparing to dunk!

Bremer and Williams jumped up hastily, but as soon as their feet left the ground, Li Ang had already bumped into them.

Because this was a fast break, Li Ang had already fully charged, so the impact was difficult for both of them to resist.

Li Ang smashed the ball into the basket through Bremer and Williams, scoring four points in a row!

The short and thin Bremer was knocked directly to the ground. Although Williams did not fall, it was true that he was dunked.

Director Zhang excitedly slapped the table: "Stay together and fly together!"

If there is any difference between the current Pistons and the Pistons in the original history, it is that the Pistons' games have become better.

The previous Pistons only had defense and lacked explosive points on offense.

But now that Li Ang is here, the Pistons' games are also extremely enjoyable to watch.

No, in the second offense of the season, there was an exaggerated scene of dunking two people apart.

After scoring, Li Ang shook his finger at the Green Kai fans in the stands.

Li Ang's performance of dunking the two of them made them stop swearing.

When returning to defense, Billups and Liang high-fived each other lightly, then nodded to each other.

These two guys, most despised by Boston fans, launched the cruelest revenge!

Boston is the Pistons' first stop for revenge across the league!

Last night, Billups took the video of the Green Kai preseason game, studied it with Li Ang for a long time, and made many plans.

Including where Li Ang likes to catch the ball in positional battles, how to move during fast breaks, etc., Billups has already made arrangements.

Billups knows that Li Ang is the person with the strongest scoring ability on this team. If you want to take revenge on Lu Kai, you must use Li Ang's power.

Because of the in-depth exchange last night, the two of them worked together like old partners today.

In fact, Billups has learned how to read the game and how to control the game during his time with the Timberwolves.

It's just that the Green Kai fans didn't pay attention to him at all.

Now that he has returned to the North Shore Garden, Green Kai fans take it for granted that Billups is still the same as before, just running around like a headless fly.

But he was completely different.

He has grabbed the last glimmer of light and rushed out of the dark tunnel!

The Celtics' offense was still not smooth. Faced with the Pistons' crazy pressure on the ball, the Celtics were obviously inadequate in their response.

They were flustered, disorganized, and overwhelmed, and looked nothing like the team that made it to the Eastern Conference Finals last season.

After passing the ball around, there was still no chance. When Pierce passed the ball to Williams, Hamilton suddenly ran out and slapped the ball away.

The Masked Man's running is not only fatal on the offensive end.

On the defensive end, he can also beat you up.

These are just Hamilton's warm-ups. His ultimate goal this season is to earn that 100,000 yuan from Li Ang.

Run and vomit cauliflower snake!

The Pistons had another fast break opportunity. This time it was Li Ang who advanced with the ball. His counterattack was very fast. The Celtics were exhausted on the court, with Pierce following closely behind.

But Pierce didn't panic. His defensive ability was considered "excellent" after all.

Pierce stared at the basketball in Li Ang's hands. He knew that Li Ang was not a good dribbler.

As long as you seize the opportunity to steal the ball, even if you can't grab the ball directly, you can still cause Li Ang to make a mistake.

After Li Ang broke into the three-point line, Pierce suddenly took action and prepared to steal the ball.

However, just when he threw all his weight forward, Li Ang suddenly stopped and pulled the ball back from his crotch.

Emergency stop and retreat!

"Eh?"

Pierce was dumbfounded. When would Li Ang do this again?

The dribbling attribute of 81 may not allow Li Ang to complete that fancy dribbling action. But a simple crotch retreat is not a problem.

Li Ang just saw Pierce preparing to steal, so he was already prepared. He used his crotch to retreat to dodge the steal and get rid of Pierce.

Pierce never thought that Li Ang, a guy who always only rushed forward, would suddenly shift into reverse gear.

This sudden retreat caught him off guard.

Pierce tried to brake forcefully, but his back foot stopped but his front foot did not stop.

So, in front of everyone, he performed a one-trick horse for everyone!

"Ouch~~~"

North Shore Gardens was filled with Pierce's screams.

As I said, if you take too big a step, it’s easy to lose your temper.

"Leon, he knocked down Paul Pierce! How is this possible!?"

Just when everyone was surprised, Li Ang easily made a mid-range shot without being defended, and the basketball hit the ball steadily again.

Li Ang scored 6 points in a row after the opening, and the Pistons had an almost perfect start!

Pierce lay on the ground, holding the bird in his hands, with tears streaming down his face.

Li Ang couldn't stand it anymore, it hurt to look at it.

Brother Pi, believe me, I really didn’t mean it.

Who would have thought that such a simple action could knock Ning down.

Green Kai coach Jim O'Brien covered his head and called a timeout. This new season was such a bad start!

Shame on you!

Pierce held the egg and walked off the court in embarrassment.

These few short rounds were a complete nightmare!

At this time, the Green Kai players were not aware of a serious problem.

This nightmare is still going on.
