Chapter 168

The pistons.

Coach Dwayne Casey was furious: "shit! You played too badly! I was so disappointed. You couldn't even protect the ball. Someone would easily steal the ball from behind. What do you want me to say? IZ, you should reflect on your performance!"

Esther Smith lowered his head and listened to Dwayne Casey's angry scolding. He didn't even dare to breathe.

Dwayne Casey vented, turned to the main players and said, "Blake, you're ready to play. We're playing away, so we can't take it lightly. If their substitutes play a high difference, it will be very difficult for us to win today."

Griffin smiled, nodded and said, "Kathy, don't worry! I know how to prevent Wang Fei. I will never let him score easily again!"

Dwayne Casey hesitated and said, "the task of defending Wang Fei is very heavy. Your main task is to attack. It's up to Luke to defend Wang Fei."

Luke Kennard, also a rookie, has been playing in the pistons for a year.

He is 1.96 meters tall and a big man.

But he has speed, is very flexible and has a good dribbling ability.

Now I play at the back of the pistons.

However, a big man like this usually gives consideration to both inside and outside. There's no problem saying he's a swingman.

Now the NBA especially favors the flexible big man, who can break fast and have one hand and three points, which is the most popular.

"OK! This arrangement is also good! Luke has a height advantage over Wang Fei, and he should be able to keep up with him. It's best for him to tangle with Wang Fei." Griffin nodded.

On the live booth.

McGrady smiled and shook his head: "it's less than a minute since the start of the race! The piston was forced to stop."

Jimo shrugged and said, "Wang's performance is inextricable. He is still continuing the performance of superstars. Such a small man who can attack and defend is a gift from God."

Maddie said, "I reckon that the main force of the pistons will be on the stage in advance. Who will make their replacement so suck?"

Jimo glanced at McGrady and asked, "who do you think will defend Wang Fei after the Pistons' main force plays? Blake shouted before the game to keep Wang Fei from seeing the basket. Will he defend Wang Fei himself?"

McGrady shook his finger and said, "no, I don't think so! Blake is the core of the Pistons' attack. Dwayne won't let Blake invest too much energy in defense, which will affect the efficiency of the attack. I think the pistons may let their freshman rookie Luke Kennard do it."

Jimo raised his eyebrows. "Do you think Luke Kennard can prevent Wang Fei?"

McGrady said: "defending Wang is a very difficult job. It's not easy for anyone. I guess Luke Kennard will be beaten by Wang."

The pause ends.

The game continues.

As expected, the pistons removed all the substitutes with poor performance and replaced all the main players.

There is no change on the Rockets side. Wang Fei still leads the substitutes to the game.

Chris Paul came to D'Antoni again.

"Mike, the other side sent all the main players. We are still all substitutes on the court. Isn't that good? I think we should also change the substitutes off the court and let the main players play," Paul said.

D'Antoni looked at Paul, smiled and said, "Chris, don't worry. Our substitutes are not weak. I think our main players should have a good rest off the court."

"But don't you worry that Wang Fei and his team will be blown up by the main force of the piston? Mike, we are in a very good situation now. I think we should let the main force play more time, continue to widen the difference and win the game early. Then, it's more reasonable to give the garbage time to the rookies to finish." Paul said.

Paul's mood is too urgent now.

Because he set his own flag, he must strive to achieve it!

He thought that if I was really crushed by the rookie, my position in the Rockets is expected to decline again in the future.

Being the second in the team is already a very wronged thing.

It is absolutely intolerable if the position falls to the third place.

D'Antoni was confused.

He couldn't understand why Chris Paul was so eager to take the initiative to play.

Paul has never been so positive before.

"Chris, I think it's better to wait a little longer. If Wang Fei doesn't play well with the substitutes, it's not too late for us to call a pause and change the lineup again, right?" D'Antoni said.

"Well, I wish those guys could last a little longer," Chris Paul shrugged.

The game began.

The pistons have the ball.

The team's main point guard Reggie Jackson advanced with the ball.

Wang Fei found a tall young white man coming to him.

The NBA is black.

White people are quite few.

Wang Feixin said that this must be Luke Kennard.

Wang Fei's goal is to defend Reggie Jackson who controls the ball.

Luke Kennard, on the other hand, followed Wang Fei closely, keeping Wang Fei away from Reggie Jackson.

This is to strictly guard yourself directly.

Wang Fei tried to get rid of Luke Kennard.

It's not hard to get rid of it.

But the rookie last year is also energetic and is trying to implement the coach's tactics: prevent Wang Fei from getting close to his teammates who control the ball.

So Luke Kennard almost followed step by step.

Wang Fei doesn't want to spend too much physical energy at this time.

Good steel on the blade!

Let's talk about it in the backcourt.

Reggie Jackson quickly pushed the ball into the Rockets' half.

Here, Griffin ran out to catch the ball.

Reggie Jackson immediately passed the ball to Griffin.

Then Reggie Jackson immediately gave Griffin a pick and roll to create an inside attack or three-point shot for Griffin.

On the Rockets side, Gerrard green immediately came out to defend Griffin.

Although Griffin was tall, he was very flexible. He patted the ball on the ground, moved quickly and went out directly at the three-point line.

"Poof!"

Griffin hit directly from three points.

Gerald Green, who tried to prevent it, couldn't interfere with Griffin at all.

On the bench of the piston team, which had been dull for a long time, there was a roar of joy.

Coach Dwyane Casey also breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as the main core came on the court, he fought back with a score of three points.

Such hemostasis is too important.

Wang Fei shook his head reluctantly.

This Griffin is really a freak!

It used to be famous in the NBA by dunking violently. This year is just like a rebirth. The hit rate of three-point ball has increased significantly, with an average of at least six three points per game, and the hit rate is as high as more than 50%.

This is too bad for a big man of 2.08 meters.
