Wang Lang saw the news and realized that the current Pistons are going all out to impact the playoffs, and they really want to win, not without the desire to win.

And they're in great form enough to cause problems for the Warriors.

Seeing this, Wang Lang frowned, knowing that the next game would not go as smoothly as expected.

Lilian also guessed Wang Lang's thoughts, and asked with a smile: "Are you worried that the Pistons will have an advantage in interior rebounding, which will make the game full of suspense?"

Wang Lang nodded: "Yes, this is very troublesome, unless Curry and Thompson have a good hand and can gain the upper hand in a confrontational situation, otherwise the Warriors will give the opponent too many second offensive opportunities because of the loss of rebounds."

Lillian replied, "But aren't you on the bench, and if things don't go well, Cole will replace you."

Wang Lang smiled: "That's right, I just need to wait and see what happens."

Lillian then analyzed: "In fact, if Kerr lets you play on the bench first, not only will you face little defensive pressure, but you will also be able to lead the bench players to an advantage, which will be more beneficial to the Warriors."

Wang Lang understood: "That's right, the Pistons' bench strength is average, if I come off the bench, I will definitely be able to play a better role."

Lillian nodded: "When it comes to the crucial third and fourth quarters, you can come on with the main lineup and completely turn the game around, so that you can easily win." The corners of Wang

Lang's mouth rose: "Good idea, just do what you say, I will tell Coach Cole when the time comes."

Lilian said in a gentle tone, "Actually, Coach Cole must have thought of these things, but he didn't tell you, if you agree, I think he will definitely arrange it this way."

Wang Lang relaxed, didn't say anything more, and had a good rest.

That night, Wang Lang and his teammates came to the Pistons' home arena.

There are already plenty of Pistons fans waiting here.

On the one hand, the Pistons have the hope of hitting the playoffs, and the fans are very supportive of the team, and on the other hand, the Warriors are visiting the Pistons' home court, and this matchup is already very attractive to fans.

The combination of the two makes this game full of highlights.

Before the start of the game, Wang Lang also sat on the sidelines and chatted with Green.

Because they weren't starters, they weren't in a hurry to warm up.

Wang Lang saw Drummond who was training for free throws, and the player looked confident in his eyes and looked sure of winning.

And Reggie Jackson was working on his three-point shot and made countless shots.

Caldwell Pope did the same, finding touch at the three-point line.

And the power forward Ilyasova stood at the free-throw line, constantly shooting mid-range, and seemed to be preparing some kind of tactic.

Marcus Morris also ran back and forth between the left and right sides of the penalty area, making shots.

Seeing this situation, Wang Lang knew that the Pistons were prepared.

In the live broadcast room, the hosts are already in place.

They are A. Smith and O'Neal.

Both are also relaxed and smiling.

A Smith was the first to speak: "Friends, this is a special away game, the Warriors Wang Lang and Green did not start, but chose to come off the bench.

"Curry and Thompson started the game after a break, and against the Pistons' perimeter defense, Bogut was the starting center, and Looney was the power forward, and the other positions remained unchanged, and they were still the Warriors' regular starting lineup.

"The biggest suspense right now is the battle between Bogut and Drummond, who as far as I know, grabbed 25 rebounds in the last game and scored 18 points and had a double-double, which is extremely good.

And Reggie Jackson also made five three-pointers and was on fire, and the two of them helped the Pistons to a four-game winning streak and are working for a playoff ticket.

O'Neal smiled: "I believe in the quality of the Pistons, they are close to the strong team, but they still need consistency." However, Bogut is not as good as Drummond in rebounding, and the Warriors could have problems with defensive rebounding.

"Fortunately, Wang Lang is just a substitute, not a truce, if the situation is not right, they can replace Wang Lang and turn the situation around.

A-Smith asked: "Do you think it is appropriate for Wang Lang to play as a substitute? He has always started the game, but today he started from the bench, will this affect his performance?"

O'Neal shook his head: "No way, Wang Lang is a superstar, he has the ability to adjust, especially in the presence of Curry."

A Smith asked again: "If Wang Lang doesn't start, is Drummond's interior defense very safe? It is difficult for other players of the Warriors to score on

the inside?" O'Neal smiled: "That's not necessarily, it's just that the Warriors' interior offense will be in trouble, but Curry's running and involvement defense are still effective, and the Warriors will still get the opportunity to attack inside."

"It's just that this kind of opportunity is less efficient than Wang Lang's attacking on the inside.

A. Smith nodded: "Then let's wait and see." "

The game started with both sides jumping the ball in the middle of the field.

Drummond grabbed the ball and dialed it to Reggie Jackson.

The Pistons attacked.

Reggie Jackson also launched his first attack, shooting a three-pointer directly from the outside.

The ball didn't go in, it popped out of the box.

But Drummond got stuck in position, took the rebound directly, and handed it to Reggie Jackson on the outside.

Reggie Jackson made a quick shot and hit a three-pointer.

The Warriors were 3-0 and trailed in the opening game.

Wang Lang was also a little surprised when he saw that the opponent grabbed the offensive rebound at the beginning.

He had to lament that the Pistons had an obvious advantage on the inside.

But then, Curry took advantage of the off-ball run, directly found an opportunity in the bottom right corner, received the ball, shot at great speed, and hit a three-pointer.

The Warriors tied the score at 3-3.

The two sides also began a situation of coming and going, not giving in to each other.

The Pistons don't have as much outside firepower as the Warriors, but they always grab rebounds, either Drummond scores with a direct dunk or gives it to an outside shot.

Marcus Morris and Ilyasova also had good hands, hitting multiple shots.

On the Warriors' side, Curry and Thompson are full of energy and constantly get opportunities through their runs, either hitting mid-range shots or three-point nets.

The Warriors also suppressed their opponents in terms of firepower and kept the score deadlocked.

By the end of the first quarter, the Warriors were 31-30 and only led by one point.

And Cole replaced Wang Lang at this time and came on as a substitute.

The Warriors' lineup has also changed to center Wang Lang, power forward Speights, small forward Iguodala, scoring guard Barbossa, and point guard Livingston.

On the Pistons' side, the lineup is a little worse.

Center Aaron Baines, power forward Anthony Toliver, small forward Stanley Johnson, shooting guard Hilard, point guard Blake.

Among them, Baines's defense is good, but he has no offensive ability, so he can only eat cakes under the basket, and his speed is not fast, and he is not Wang Lang's opponent at all.
