Chapter 197 10 consecutive victories, 99 points start

The Pistons attacked and others opened up the space, allowing Billups to play Paul alone.

Last season, the Pistons crushed the Hawks. In addition to the defensive system that defeated the Hawks' offense, Billups' suppression of Paul was also a top priority.

Billups' height, weight, overall advantage in confrontation, and the bonus of his "big butt" made Paul unable to carry him and was forced to the free throw line. Billups hit the ball from mid-range.

Milicic quickly served the baseline ball, and Paul accelerated his advance, but Billups kept up with him. During the planning process, Paul did not choose to go forward, but instead slowed down and played a positional battle.

Facing Billups, Paul's way of attacking was a pick-and-roll, speeding up to dodge Billups' defense. Facing McDyess' position change, Paul did not choose to pass the ball immediately, but suddenly made a pass.

After an emergency stop, he accelerated instantly, apparently wanting to fight McDyess one-on-one.

McDyess pressed his body tightly against Paul. While moving his feet to the right, he also covered his body with his hands to avoid being swept away by Paul's sudden turn.

Paul suddenly turned to the left, opening a gap between himself and McDyess, and then quickly threw the ball. (4:7)

Playing in the Pistons, Milicic developed a good defensive awareness, not to mention McDyess. But his movement speed is not as good as Ben Wallace, and the big defense can't keep up with the rhythm.

Billups held the ball and broke through inside, but was blocked by Garnett. He chose to pass the ball to Hamilton on the outside. The latter took a feint shot with the ball and missed Joe Johnson who stepped forward to block the shot. He made an emergency stop in the middle distance.

Successful jump shot.

With McDyess in the starting lineup, the Pistons' offense has indeed improved, but they are really not very good on the defensive end. Using the pick-and-roll, Garnett pretended to continue cutting inside, but when McDyess shifted his center of gravity, he immediately made a sideways move.

Step back to the mid-range position and make a shooting motion before the defense comes up.

The first time Rasheed rushed forward, Garnett seized the moment when his opponent's center of gravity leaned forward, and immediately changed from shooting to breaking through, exerting force with his feet, and instantly burst out with an astonishing speed.

Brushing Rasheed's body and going straight to the basket, Garnett hit the basket hard and was about to dunk against McDyess!

At the beginning of the game, Garnett gave him everything he wanted. McDyess became a little anxious and directly pressed his elbow against Garnett's lower body, destroying Garnett's center of gravity. Under this dangerous move, Garnett specifically said that he had dunked and was not seriously injured.

Even though I have rich experience, I know how to protect myself!

Getting up from the ground, Garnett immediately punched McDyess "aggressively" and ran towards McDyess, spouting trash talk. Then he was held up by Anthony Parker and the referee; McDyess was angered by Garnett's trash talk.

He rushed towards Garnett and was quickly stopped.

Someone started a fight, and Garnett became even more "excited". He moved flexibly and pumped his fists to show his "anger" while ensuring that his teammates and staff could restrain him...

On the surface, Garnett is "pretending to be tough" and pretending. In fact, with this wave of "making trouble", the referee must watch the video just now and severely punish McDyess for his destructive actions.

After the farce, Garnett was whistled for a technical foul and McDyess was kicked off the court.

Billups made a free throw with a technical foul, and then Garnett and Joe Johnson made two free throws respectively. (7:11)

Muhammad replaced McDyess, and the Pistons encountered some trouble on the offensive end. The Hawks changed their defensive layout, using Joe Johnson to guard Billups, and Paul followed Hamilton for long-distance running games; Garnett freed up more

He used his energy to help fill positions and assist in defense, and Billups and Hamilton's offense were restricted respectively.

Billups and Hamilton's offense was limited, and Sanders immediately made arrangements to give Prince more ball rights and single out Anthony Parker on the weak side. This adjustment had good results. Facing Anthony Parker, Prince

Lins frequently used his footwork to dodge his opponents and score mid-range jumpers, helping the Pistons hold on to the score in an unfavorable situation.

Prince, as the Pistons' perimeter gate and second organizational point, has above-average shooting, but his offensive ability with the ball is very average. He can usually only rely on his height to single out small guards or seize opportunities to score in transitional phases of offense and defense.

Anthony Parker was eaten alive by him one after another, and Ke Yan's face became unsightly.

Although the season only lasted 12 games, Anthony Parker was beaten a lot. Whenever the Hawks are in a fierce battle with their opponents, Stevens will always bring changes to the team and make some voices more supportive.

Stevens moved into the starting lineup.

But the appearance of Stevens means that Joe Johnson has to play the third position. During the rotation period, he only pays for it occasionally. Let Joe Johnson play the third position for a long time, which is a small gain.

Ultimately, if the Hawks want to further strengthen the team's lineup, what needs to be adjusted is the team's small forward position.

After the first quarter, the Pistons trailed by 6 points at 23:29.

Although the strength of the Pistons has seriously declined this season, and McDyess was sent off for a flagrant foul, the crushing of the Hawks in one season still has some shadow on Ke Yan's psychology. Ke Yan arranged for Joe Johnson to continue to play as a consistent member of the substitute lineup.

Ball points to help sort out the offense.

In addition to Ben Wallace leaving the team, the Pistons also lost Cato, Arroyo, Mihm and others this past summer. The decline in the bench lineup was also obvious. Among the subsequent reinforcements, only Ronald Murray could barely make it.

It comes in handy. In addition, Hunter has also significantly degraded this season. The once strong backing behind the Pistons' top five has become increasingly mediocre this season. The Pistons' combat effectiveness has also slowly declined along with the city of Detroit. The Eagles soon

Open the score difference to double digits.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Pistons replaced Rasheed Wallace and Hamilton in advance to help revitalize the team's offense.

Hamilton, who is famous for his off-the-ball movement and mid-range, is not without the ability to score with the ball. Now he bites the bullet and launches an offense through pick-and-rolls, and can barely hold on to the situation. Rasheed Wallace's appearance is

Stabilizing the Pistons' defense, the two teamed up to help the team narrow the point difference to single digits.

A hundred-footed insect, dead but not stiff. This Pistons team can still enter the Eastern Conference Finals twice after losing its capital. It is really resilient! As an opponent, Ke Yan also has to admire this team composed of "blue-collar workers"

The team formed.

Now, due to the butterfly effect brought by Ke Yan, Iverson is going to the Bobcats. The future trade between him and Billups may not be possible. Maybe the remaining four members of this iron-blooded team will be together for a longer time in the future.

Diaw's injury has a great impact on the Eagles' rotation. Millsap performed well when paired with the main force, but it was a bit difficult to partner with Mbenga; and the team's back line is indeed old.

Old, young, Bobby Jackson and Daniel Gibson each had their own problems.

Fortunately, these problems together are a big problem, but if Garnett comes on the court, they can all be covered up. Ke Yan replaced Mbenga with Garnett, replaced Joe Johnson with Anthony Parker, and the team immediately had

As the backbone, Garnett improved the team's defense and also brought more changes to the team's offense.

At the same time, Anthony Parker, who has received more ball rights, can also show his offensive ability in front of the Pistons' steel defense. He has made a name for himself in Europe and is not just a spot-up shooter.

The Eagles once again opened the point difference to double digits, and then the remaining main lineups of both sides returned.

McDyess' dismissal was a very serious loss for the Pistons. Mohammed was unable to fill this vacancy. Billups, Hamilton and others were working very hard offensively, but it was still somewhat unsustainable. At halftime

, the point difference was widened to 15 points.

Seeing that the Hawks, who were beaten to death last season, were able to suppress the Pistons this season, Flip Saunders felt very helpless.

And as the head coach, Sanders is a coach who is very good at designing tactics on the tactical board, but his ability to adapt to the situation is not top-notch. He was unable to digest and deal with the changes caused by McDyess' departure.

So much so that in the second half, the Pistons were still passive and unable to make any waves!

Seeing the "tough but incomprehensible" attitude of the Pistons in front of him, Ke Yan remembered his previous life, an important signing that improved the Pistons' mid-to-late performance, Chris Webber!

Over the years, continuous injuries have made Webb's knees almost unable to bend. He has lost the speed and explosiveness that he relied on for survival, and can no longer launch attacks towards the basket. He carefully completes back attacks at a slow speed on the court.

, and refused to make large lateral movements when defending. The straight-arm jump shot has almost become Webber's only remaining weapon.

After joining the Pistons, the team's offensive and defensive rhythm is the last in the league. Webb's slow movement rate is no longer an intolerable problem. On the defensive end, he only needs to do a good job in low defense and protecting rebounds.

For one thing, the Pistons have a strong defensive system to help him cover up other problems. And his support and shooting ability at the free throw line have played a significant role in lubricating the Pistons' offense!

This "natural match" also allowed fans to see the most gorgeous offensive Pistons team in many years.

‘Use selection as an agent and hurt the enemy invisibly~’ Ke Yan smiled. He already had the idea of ​​“nipping the threat of the Pistons in the bud”.

The Pistons were tough enough and played high-intensity defense to suppress the Hawks' offense. However, due to the lack of a scoring point inside, the team's offense was never able to open up, and they eventually lost 92:104 at home.

The Pistons, who were the Eastern Conference champions last season, have lost 5 games in the new season. This is their most difficult start in recent years!

After the game, the conflict that broke out between Garnett and McDyess became the focus of media attention. However, Sanders is Garnett's mentor, and the two have a deep relationship. Therefore, Ke Yan said at the press conference

Be merciful, not deliberately targeting the Pistons.

Ke Yan did not make any big claims, but the league did not intend to let the Pistons go. Superstars like Garnett are the league's box office guarantee, and the Hawks are the "traffic team" that the league has high hopes for. McDyess's dirty tricks on Garnett are obviously

The interests of the alliance have been touched.

One day later, the league gave McDyess an additional one-game suspension, which was regarded as a warning to the Pistons!

However, Ke Yan had no time to care about the Pistons' penalty results. After returning from Detroit, he immediately met with Larry Sander and urged him to contact some target teams regarding reinforcement of the team's small forward position.

However, neither the Magic nor the Jazz could accept the Hawks' offer of "Hassell's 2007 first-round pick"!

Hassell's contract is worth 17 million over four years! The Hawks have a great record. Their first-round pick in 2007 is most likely to be the 28th to 30th pick. Even if 2007 is known as the big year of the draft, it is also related to the picks at this position.

Not big!

It's a bit of a fantasy to use such a draft pick to get rid of Hassell's garbage contract!

What's more, the Magic are currently ranked third in the Eastern Conference and are a direct competitor of the Hawks; the Jazz are temporarily ranked second in the Western Conference and are expected to return to the playoffs after a two-year rebuilding period. The current situation of the two teams is also different.

A trade is needed to destroy the team's good locker room atmosphere and chemistry.

"Unless you ask Hassell to generate some data, it will definitely be difficult to handle." Larry Sander gave his own reminder. When Ke Yan made the request, he felt it was unreliable.

Not every team has a Billie King!

"Hey, miscalculation! If we had known about Garnett's deal, we would rather give away two draft picks than keep Posey." Ke Yan regretted.

This is a common problem among time travellers. They are infinitely confident in their draft vision and firmly believe that they can select the best players. They will subconsciously increase the value of the draft picks in their hands and equate the draft picks with the best rookie.

.

As everyone knows, the one that suits you is the best, and some immediate players are equally important!

Seeing Keyan sighing here, Larry Sander looked very amused.

Brother, you are now a Big Three team! 12 wins and 1 loss! First in the league! If you are like this, can other teams still play?

That is to say, Larry Sander didn't say this out loud, otherwise Ke Yan would have replied to him, "The sparrow knows the ambition of the swan!"

"Kimi, don't worry too much. The season has just begun, and we still have a lot of room to adjust the lineup! If Daniel Gibson and Paul Millsap can practice well, they may be sent out as trading chips to bring us supplementary resources.

Opportunities for strong small forwards. That’s how trading is, you can’t expect to use players you don’t use to trade other people’s valuable players. We must first improve the value of the players on the team before we can negotiate,” Larry Sander advised.

Do you need to tell me this? Without me improving the trade value of Josh Smith and David Lee, the entire Hawks team would not be able to trade for Garnett if they were packaged together. Do you believe it or not?

However, there is some truth in what Larissander said. If you want to clear out "junk contracts" like Hassell, unless it is paired with a high-quality contract, it is best to use a first-year rookie with potential.

"This is the only way." Ke Yan crossed out Ariza's name from his trade list. Judging from the attitude shown by the Magic, they regard the Hawks as a direct competitor, and there is basically no need to talk about it.

.

On the Jazz side, it's not that C.J. Myers has no chance at all, but they won't consider this until the Jazz reaches a stable position.

From the perspective of strength improvement, the most reliable candidate is actually Shane Battier of the Grizzlies. This will have to wait for the right time. Because his salary is as high as 8 million, the Hawks can only match Hassell.

If not, one of Milicic or Anthony Parker must be added.

Ke Yan has no idea of ​​trading them yet, and the Grizzlies may not necessarily be interested in the Hawks. We have to wait and see about this matter.

The right time may not be until the Grizzlies completely let go of themselves and sell off their assets in exchange for draft picks.

...

Defeating the Pistons in an away game, the Eagles achieved a record-breaking 8-game winning streak and were only two games away from their first 10-game winning streak in many years. Under the ardent expectations of the fans, the Eagles did not disappoint everyone.

Defeated the Grizzlies and Nets 117:98, 109:101, achieving 10 consecutive victories! Throughout the entire November game, the Eagles achieved a record of 13 wins and 1 loss, ranking first in the league!

This is a start that can score 99 points.

The point deducted from Ke Yan's heart was not the loss to the Magic, but Snyder's departure.

However, seeing that the Bobcats achieved a record of 2 wins and 1 loss under Snyder's leadership, and that Iverson was also "reborn" under his leadership, Ke Yan also felt a sense of pride in addition to the accident.

Such an NBA that breaks away from the established routines is more interesting!
