The answer to realizing the dream of an NBA super forward

The Auburn Hills Palace Arena was packed, and even business elite Dave Bing came to the scene (the Pistons' single-season scoring record holder, later broken by Jerry Starkerhouse)

and the players had already warmed up, and Ben Wallace, the league's best defender, was pressing his leg on the sidelines.

Allen Iverson even rushed directly into the opposite half and pulled Chauncey Billups to chat about something, and the two covered their mouths from time to time with a smile on their faces, which also added some life to this high-profile battle.

Tonight's guest commentators from ESPN are also typical, with Pistons legends Jim Price and Bob Lannier.

Price: Bob, the most debated right now is whether Philadelphia can score 90 points tonight?

Bob Lannier: To be honest, I'm pessimistic about that, there's an Allen Iverson standing across from it.

Even though this guy is only six feet tall, he's a super scorer and he's not afraid of any physical confrontation, and I think Pat Riley has a very good opinion of him.

"If a team wants to completely guard against Allen Iverson, they just tie him up in the dressing room, and everything else is in vain. "

Price: This evaluation is very good, but there is no shortage of scoring players on our side, Richard Hamilton is also a master who can't run, the key is that he can defend.

"Another thing that can't be ignored is that we have last season's best coach Rick Carlisle on our side, which is the biggest barrier to our victory.

"Isaiah of Indiana was still not convinced, and he had to teach a lesson to this guy who snatched the title of best coach from his own hands, but he was in the dust, and now he went home to fish, and I have a feeling that although I respect Larry very much, Larry can't take advantage of this piece of land.

"Yes, yes, at least from the current media tone, nearly seventy percent of the media are on the side of the home team. "

I'll just say that, if the visitors end up scoring 90 points in this game, I'll do a handstand and wash my hair!" Price

raised the price slightly.

"Dude, if you have to have hair, but I share the opinion of those media outlets, and I think the Detroit Pistons have a good chance of winning this game at home.

Lanniel said quietly.

The reason why the media is more optimistic about the Pistons is also very simple, the defense determines the winner, and the Pistons are clearly the one who does a better job defensively.

The warm-up and cheerleading sessions will not be repeated here, and will go straight to the main topic of the game, let's take a look at the starting lineups on both sides first.

The Philadelphia 76ers starters are as follows

: PG: Eric Snow

SG: Allen Iverson

SF: Rayong

PF: Keith Van Horn

C:

Derrick Coleman

There's a slight change to Larry Brown's starting lineup tonight, with taller Brandon Haywood sitting off the court tonight.

Considering the size and height of Big Ben on the opposite side, Coleman, who has more weight and more flexibility in attack, was pushed to the No. 5 position.

Let's take a look at the home Pistons' starting lineup

: PG: Chauncey BillupsSG

: Richard HamiltonSF

: Chris Williams (2.01,109kg)PF:

Clifford Robinson (2.08,102kg)

C

: Ben Wallace (2.03, 109kg)

There was a comical scene here, with the starting center averaging only 3.9 rebounds per game, while power forward Wallace won the rebounding title for the second consecutive season, reaching 15.4 rebounds this season.

When the players came on the court, the air pressure in the Palace of Auburn Hills dropped a lot, and many of their fans felt that their breathing was not smooth.

On our side of Huaxia Kingdom, Director Zhang and Director Xu Jicheng are already waiting for it.

Director Zhang: I was still in '94, and I said there in '95, and to be honest, it was really depressive at that time, when Isaiah Thomas had just retired, and Grant Hill was in the prime of life.

And that Joe Dumas, the Finals MVP in the 89-90 season, can still score 20 points in a game, and he doesn't look old at all.

Alan Houston was there, and I interviewed them, and the Pistons were already transforming a little bit at that time, but even so, the feeling of the home court was still very suffocating.

Xu Jicheng: Oh, yes? I didn't talk about playing on that field, I went to the home court of the Los Angeles Clippers and Phoenix, and the commentary was about the All-Star game, and it was 108,000 miles away from this, hahaha.

Director Zhang: If you sit there, you can feel that the air pressure has dropped by nearly two hundred Pascals (how can Director Zhang know everything? The air pressure has been adjusted?)

Xu Jicheng coughed lightly twice, did not answer, just stretched out his hand and pointed forward, signaling to continue to pay attention to the field.

Okay, ready to jump ball.

The 76ers got possession.

Iverson was just about to accelerate when Hamilton on his side poked the ball away from behind.

It's so fast, this hand is like a scalpel.

Although you are allowed to pass first, you can't bear to be stabbed from behind.

Opposite Big Ben was Coleman, who tried to get the ball several times but Big Ben got stuck in front of him.

There are a lot of small movements between the two, and the referee bites the whistle tightly and follows the two of them.

As soon as the opening was opened, both sides directly pulled the intensity to the full.

The ball struggled to get into the hands of Derek Coleman.

[Yes, yes

!] [Bet on!]

On one side is the former Eastern Conference All-Star starting power forward, and on the other side is the winner of the league's best defender.

Both of them are representatives of the inside line of the dwarf faction, what kind of sparks can be sparked?

Let's wait and see!

Derek Coleman arched his body slightly, feeling the distance of Big Ben.

But Big Ben just stretched out his hand, did not take the initiative to grab it, and gave the other party a small distance of half a step.

Xu Jicheng: Look, Big Ben is breaking down again, he never confronts players who are stronger than him, he always suddenly leaks some space after two tops to tempt the other party to turn around, and then suddenly rushes out and slaps it.

The other is to use the sandbag in front of Clifford Robinson to go to the top for a few rounds first, and then go over to help defend and pick the fruit when the opponent rushes up or exerts his strength, anyway, it's a chicken thief.

You can also understand that you are smart, after all, you just nod your head, and every night you have to fight with guys who are more than half a head taller than you, how can you do it without playing with dim sum?

Coleman turned sideways and began to squeeze in.

Robinson immediately switched positions with Big Ben and came to Coleman's side, while raising his arm to push him as far to the left as he could.

Richard Hamilton at the top of the arc has quietly come around, ready to wrap up at any moment.

Big Ben circled in Van Horn's direction, while the cat bent down, like a cheetah in the bushes, waiting to strike a fatal blow to its prey.
