And Joseph, who apologized, sighed when Wiseman turned around, and thought in his heart: How can Wiseman, a rookie who has not played for a few years, not take their seniors in his eyes so much.

But Wiseman didn't notice the dissatisfaction in Joseph's heart, and still sent the ball out on his own, and then ran towards the Spurs' half with his head down.

After Joseph dribbled the ball across the halfcourt, he looked up and saw Wiseman stuck in Sochan's position on the inside and reached for the ball. But this time, Joseph did not pass the ball over, but passed it to Ive, who was 45 degrees to the left.

Facing Chang Tiancheng's defense, Ivey knew that he couldn't force a breakthrough, so he motioned to Stewart with his eyes to make a run first, and then pretended to break through Chang Tiancheng himself. Although Chang Tiancheng kept a firm eye on himself, because he already knew where Stewart was in advance, even though his vision was limited, he accurately distributed the ball to Stewart, who was already standing in the bottom corner and waiting.

And Branham, the Spurs' rookie forward who is responsible for defending Stewart, didn't realize that the defender who was still standing behind him had sneaked around the baseline to the bottom corner due to his lack of court experience, and he still hasn't gone over to follow the defense, which left the Pistons with a perfect three-point opportunity.

After Stewart received the ball, he even had time to adjust his shooting posture before shooting.

The basketball hit a solid shot, and at 44:38, the Pistons led by six points.

The Spurs' attitude towards Branham's leak was very lenient and did not criticize him too much, but reminded him not to make the same mistake again in the future defense.

That's what sets the Spurs apart from other teams in the NBA, where the players are very close to each other, and there are very few locker room problems and no quarrels over a small mistake by a teammate on the court.

Chang Tiancheng held the ball for half the court, and because his last shot was not in, he couldn't confirm whether his marksman skills were out of order, so he preferred to let his teammates open up their hands first.

What's more, Coach Popovich specifically instructed him to help Sochan impact the opponent's basket as much as possible on the court, and also take advantage of the height advantage brought by McDermott.

Thinking of this, Chang Tiancheng made a gesture and motioned for Suo Han to come over and block it for him first.

Sochan was naturally decisive in the face of Chang Tiancheng's request, and he quickly lifted up from the basket to a position near the three-point line, standing beside Ivey.

Wiseman, who was in charge of defending Sochan, seemed a little loose at this time, only to see him slowly following Sochan, not standing in his defensive position at all.

Observing this, Chang Tiancheng immediately chose to bypass Sochan's cover and kill the Pistons' almost unguarded restricted area.

Only then did Wiseman come back to his senses and hurriedly turned around and returned to the defensive basket, trying to block Chang Tiancheng's breakthrough route.

Chang Tiancheng, who saw Wiseman chasing after him, slowed down at the moment, he deliberately waited for Wiseman, and after confirming that he was following him, he slowly brought the ball to the bottom corner.

Wiseman didn't know what medicine Chang Tiancheng was selling in the gourd, so he had to continue to follow Chang Tiancheng's footsteps and walk towards the bottom corner.

At this time, Joseph had realized what Chang Tiancheng wanted to do, so he reminded loudly: "Wiseman, your basket is empty!" Wiseman

was shouted by Joseph, and couldn't help but look back at the direction of the basket. At this moment, Chang Tiancheng threw the ball directly to the Pistons' basket, and then turned back directly to his own half.

The person standing under the basket at this time and responsible for filling the defensive void in the restricted area caused by Wiseman is Ivey, who is less than two meters tall.

He couldn't stop Sohan from jumping directly in front of him, receiving the basketball thrown by Chang Tiancheng, and directly completing an aerial relay dunk.

After dunking, Sochan even did a pull-up on the basket, and then released the basket to let himself land freely, trotting all the way back to his own half.

At 44:40, the Spurs finally scored inside for a long time.

Wiseman, who realized that he had just been completely teased by Chang Tiancheng, was now annoyed, and he first instructed the Pistons' rookie power forward Jalen Duren to serve from the baseline, and then reached out and asked Duren to send the ball to himself.

Duren, who just entered the NBA this year, naturally didn't dare to resist, and honestly gave the ball to Wiseman.

After receiving the ball, Wiseman dribbled straight towards the opponent's half court, and even left his own two defenders behind.

When Joseph saw Wiseman playing like this, he suddenly lost his enthusiasm, and simply grabbed Ivey, and the two walked behind Wiseman together, intending to enjoy Wiseman's offensive performance.

Outside the three-point line, Wiseman faced Chang Tiancheng's defense, and after measuring the height difference between the two sides, he gritted his teeth and chose to close the ball directly after a strong dribble, and then took three steps and rushed to the Spurs' basket in big strides.

But as soon as he took two steps, Wiseman was defended by Sochan. In a panic, Wiseman's steps began to be uneasy.

Naturally, this obvious violation did not escape the eyes of the referee, so the referee blew the whistle and blew a penalty for Wiseman's walking violation.

The audience at the scene watched Wiseman's performance in these rounds and couldn't help but start booing him.

Seeing this, Coach Casey of the Pistons immediately asked the referee for a timeout.

During the timeout, Popovich began his tactical set-up: "The Pistons will definitely replace Wiseman in a while, and I guess they should keep Bagley coming up."

Sochan patted his chest and assured Popovich: "Don't worry, coach, I'm sure I can handle him." "I don't remember who was beaten by Bagley in the first quarter.

"No, Sohan, we don't have to fight them. Popovich smiled slightly, "Branham, you can come down and rest in a moment, Zach, you go warm up first!"

After Chang Tiancheng heard Popovich's arrangement, he couldn't help but admire the coach's cunning.

After replacing Collins, the Spurs except for Chang Tiancheng, whose height is 188, and several other people on the court are more than two meters tall, and the entire lineup suddenly becomes a big man lineup, and almost every opponent can gain a height advantage.

"Often, according to my original plan, I plan to let you rest for a while, and then change to Kyledon to play. Popovich turned his head and said to Chang Tiancheng, "But now I want to see what kind of effect you can play if you come to lead this lineup." "
