NBA: This Center Is So Stable

The Knicks played a very good game.

Chapter 100 Two-time DPOY winner

“The Knicks executed this round of positional warfare perfectly. After Nash made a gesture, he passed the ball to Houston. After his teammates attracted the attention of the defense, he got rid of the defender with the help of Wang Song’s cover!”

“This small-scale attack shows that the tacit understanding of the Knicks trio is really good!”

Coach Zhang’s eyes in the studio lit up.

···

The shouts of the landslide and tsunami at the scene almost overturned the roof of Madison Garden.

With the hit of this three-pointer, the morale in the Knicks stadium returned a lot.

Nash, Houston and Wang Song bumped into each other and celebrated.

Under the momentum of the home court, the Pistons’ face was not too good.

After the timeout, the opponent used tactics to play, which was not good news for the Pistons.

Larry Brown roared on the sidelines:

“Billups, keep an eye on your people and remember to go around the pick-and-roll! Ben, pay attention to the switch!”

Billups and the coach exchanged glances.

And Big Ben, who was reminded by Larry Brown not far away, looked unhappy.

Just now, Wang Song’s screen blocked Billups firmly and pulled him.

But under this scale, the baseline referee did not blow the whistle tonight.

This made him very dissatisfied!

On the other side.

Knicks coaching seat.

D’Antoni showed a look of approval!

At present, this Knicks team is not only strong in combat effectiveness, but also very malleable.

For a new coach, this is the top configuration.

···

[Perfect screen, pick-and-roll assists teammates to score, steady experience value +100]

The prompt sound interrupted Wang Song’s tactical thinking that he was reviewing.

The tactics he and his two teammates just executed can be said to be a simplified version of the triangle offense.

The basic offensive tactic of the triangle offense itself is not difficult, and the real difficulty is whether the players can play that role well.

Just like the Bulls’ iron triangle during the establishment of the dynasty!

If only Jordan’s deterrence was there, the Bulls’ triangle offense would not be so unsolvable.

And Pippen’s joining made the Bulls’ triangle offense even more powerful.

Can cut, block, and shoot, the changeable play gives the Bulls more options for offense.

This tactic is strong because as long as there are two strong points among the three people who execute it, it is difficult for the defender to focus on one point and then handle the ball.

The game continues.

The Pistons attack!

Perhaps because of the failure of the last round of defense, Ben was very angry in this round of offense and was very excited.

He was reckless in the offensive aspect, which he was not good at, and his continuous strong attack on the basket was pressed down by Wang Song.

Fortunately, the ball was not confiscated directly. After picking up the ball, he continued to attack unwillingly.

He directly elbowed the defender to open the way, and just as he was about to jump up and hang on the basket, a quick whistle sounded.

The elbow movement was really too big, and the baseline referee gave an offensive foul with righteous words!

Ben Wallace kept arguing with the referee.

The baseline referee turned a deaf ear and signaled to the technical table to change the ball right due to an offensive foul.

Before the referee raised his hand for the second time, Prince and O’Neal pulled Big Ben back.

The two seemed to be used to it, and they were familiar with Big Ben.

The guy’s saliva almost sprayed on the referee’s face!

The game had just started, and they didn’t want to be fouled continuously in such a focus game.

Larry Brown was on the sideline, wanting to come in and point at Ben and curse him, but he stopped because of the whistle on the sideline referee’s mouth, and then walked back and forth on the sidelines cursing.

Wang Song, who was helped up by his teammates, rubbed his chest, attracting the concern of his teammates.

“Wang, are you okay? Do you want to go off the court to rest?”

Before Nash finished speaking, Kurt Thomas immediately followed up and said, “Why don’t you replace Wang? Anyway, the stupid short guy in Detroit’s offense is like my rice field yesterday, worse than me. I have confidence that I can defend him!”

“Kurt, although I usually ask you and Wang Song to learn more low-post skills, you compare yourself with that waste who can only eat cakes, which is more or less looking down on yourself.”

Alan Houston’s humor is as usual.

Wang Song, who was at the center of the topic, shook his head: “Before the game, I was worried whether that guy had enough food in New York to come to the game. Now it seems that he is just so strong!”

As the top star of the Knicks, Wang Song asked everyone to relax and not be nervous.

On the other side.

Retreat to the backcourt

Ben Wallace saw the happy scene of the Knicks and couldn’t help but spit:

“What a soft rookie! He fell to the ground with a slight bump? Bullshit!”

“Mehmet, Sean, that guy is not as strong as you said before. He is just a system player. He played against a few bottom-ranked teams and was complacent, thinking that he had secured the throne of the first center in the East? Next, you watch carefully, I will teach this arrogant young man a good lesson!”

After saying that, Big Ben also bulged his biceps that were as plump as a fitness coach.

“Little Prince” Prince and Mehmet Okur rolled their eyes.

They were not surprised by Big Ben’s behavior.

It’s just that this guy seems to regard offensive fouls as toughness, which they don’t quite understand.

However, no one dared to refute Big Ben, who was awarded DPOY.

···

The game continued.

After repeating the triangle offense several times, the Pistons gradually adapted to this tactic.

Nash was going to repeat the last round’s attack, but the Pistons’ defense was well prepared this time, blocking Nash’s running route in advance, and Billups stuck to Nash like a dog-skin plaster.

Although Billups has not yet been selected for the All-Defensive Team, his defensive enthusiasm is definitely top-notch in the league.

The Knicks tried a lot of screens, but this almost self-destructive defense made it difficult for Nash, who was not strong, to get rid of his opponent.

Helplessly, with less than 8 seconds left, the Knicks gave the ball to Wang Song.

This rookie will always be the most trustworthy big man in the Knicks team!

The noise in the stands suddenly became quieter, and the moment Wang Song held the ball, it seemed as if the entire Madison Garden was in silent mode.

The Knicks coaching staff on the sidelines was also nervous.

D’Antoni’s breathing slowed down a few beats.

On the other side, Larry Brown looked at the matchup on the court with great expectation. Any inside player who dared to touch Ben Wallace would be blocked.

This is the truth he has learned from coaching the Pistons for a long time.

Wang Song received the ball in the low post on the right side.

His teammates were very sensible and took the initiative to attract defense and double-teaming to the weak side, leaving space for Wang Song.

The other four players on the Pistons had no intention of double-teaming at all, and they all consciously left enough space for the two players to match up.

Because they have witnessed countless All-Star-level inside players challenging Big Ben, and they all ended up being defeated.

This is also the origin of Big Ben’s two-time best defensive player of the season!
