Chapter 284 Matchmaking draft template
In addition to the power forward and point guard in the Pistons' lineup, the other three were the starters in the winning lineup that year.In this lineup, Prince, the youngest of the winning trio, is almost 3 years old, Hamilton is 3 years old, and Big Ben is 31 years old.
The aging of the core players has made this team lose the possibility of competing for the championship, and it is still difficult for the newcomers to be alone, which makes the team's combat effectiveness insufficient.
The commentators for this game are Marv Albert and Mark Jackson, who explained the Grizzlies' game against the Heat.
"Mark, what a coincidence, we are two commentators for this game again. Do you think there will be another lore?" Marv Albert asked with a smile.
Mark Jackson said: "If lore is so common, it is not surprising."
The atmosphere at the scene was very good, and the residual heat brought by the finals was still there. Even if the opponent was a mid-lower team in the Eastern Conference, it did not affect the enthusiasm of the fans to watch the game.
Xie Kai's popularity is quite high. As long as he hits a ball during practice, there will be screams from time to time.
Arthur joked: "I have played here for more than 2 seasons, but I am not as popular as you for 2 months, which is really enviable!"
"It's useless for you to be jealous! Who told you that you are not Chinese!" Xie Kai laughed.
"I can't refute it!" Arthur waved his hand helplessly.
Although the Pistons have a poor record, their popularity is not bad.Although Big Ben is not brave, he is also the best defensive player of the 4th time!Not to mention the presence of the former scoring champion Tracy McGrady on the bench.
Amidst the cheers of the fans at the scene, Xiao Jiasao and Big Ben were preparing to jump the ball near the middle circle, and the game was about to start.
Big Ben's registered height is 206cm, but Xie Kai visually judged that he is not much taller than himself, at most 203cm, and probably even less.But his shoulders are really broad!That muscle is really well developed!
At the start of the jump ball, Xiaojiasao took advantage of her height and passed the ball to Xie Kai, and the game officially started.
Conley dribbles over and runs the offense at the top of the arc.
The inside lines on both sides are muscular sticks, so the half court looks a bit crowded.
Conley passed the ball to Xie Kai, and Richard Hamilton defended him.
When Xie Kai saw Hamilton, he immediately remembered that when he had not formally participated in the draft two years ago, the draft template in his scouting report was Hamilton.
Xie Kai thinks that he and Hamilton's style of play is actually not the same. The opponent's offensive method is mainly off the ball in the middle distance, while his own 3-pointers and breakthroughs account for a large proportion.The two don't have much in common except that they are both skinny.
Xie Kai lobs the ball to Randolph in the low post.
Defensive Randolph is the Pistons' Mark Hill.
Mark Hill was selected by the Pistons with the No. 2005 pick in the first round in 26. In the past few years in the team, his growth rate has been very slow, and his current position is a blue-collar insider.In addition to the increasing weight, other technical progress is very slow, so that the team does not see much potential at all.
Maxhill's height is only 201cm, but his weight has reached 120kg. One stop there, even the black bear Randolph can hardly squeeze.
Korandolph doesn't just use brute force on the inside line, he belongs to the category of "flexible and deadly fat man". He is only 206cm tall, but because he has no neck, his height is no worse than that of the 211cm inside line.
Randolph hit Max Hill, turned around and hooked, but the opponent couldn't cover it at all.It's just that he missed the ball!
Big Ben grabbed the backcourt rebound and handed it to Stuckey to advance.
"Ben is 36 years old, and his jumping ability and movement have declined. This backcourt rebound protection is really good!" Mav Albert said.
"Age has taken away Ben's explosive power. The most feared thing for this short insider is the decline in physical fitness. Youth can't take away their defensive awareness, but the flawed height will still affect him in the matchup." Mark Jackson said.
Stuckey's height has reached 196cm, and he plays the No. 1 position. He is a tall point guard.But the difference between him and Livingston back then is that he also didn't have a 3-pointer, and his passing is still far behind this predecessor.His only advantage is that he is young, has good rebounds and has impact.
With the help of cover, Stucky broke through the old prince Prince on the left.
Prince's arms are over his knees, and his appearance really has nothing to do with "Prince", but he has occupied the Pistons' starting lineup for 8 years with his comprehensive offense and defense.He is the youngest of the three champion lineup members who started, and he is also the one who has maintained the best condition.
The old prince also rushed, but the speed was really not fast, so he divided Maxiel here.
Xie Kai clung to Hamilton tightly, not giving him a chance to take a jump shot easily.He has watched a lot of game videos about Hamilton, and he knows that the opponent is a No. 2 player who moves beautifully without the ball and has a very fast shot.
Back then, Xie Kai also learned Hamilton's off-ball positioning, so he knew and was very familiar with his style of play.
Hamilton really can't run fast anymore, and he doesn't have the feeling of being unable to run and catch up when he was at the peak.Not to mention that Chauncey, who will pass the ball to him the most, is not on the team. It is not so realistic to ask Stuckey or the old prince to deliver shells to him.
Maxiel hit a high jumper - and no!
The Black Bears took the backcourt rebound and handed it to Conley to advance.
"The offensive rhythm of these two teams is really slow enough, and it feels like they basically don't shoot in less than 24 seconds!" Marv Albert laughed.
Mark Jackson said: "Zach, Mark, Ben, and Jason add up to almost 4 pounds. Let them play fast, and they must run to death."
Groom Albert laughed so hard that he couldn't stop.
Both teams focused their offense on the inside at the beginning, but because the efficiency was very low, they didn't score for 2 minutes!
The fans in the stands saw the two teams playing slowly and hard, and some even started to yawn.Originally, the Grizzlies' game was to rotate the lineup and make people drowsy. Unexpectedly, when they met the Pistons, they became a member of the blacksmith at the beginning.
Conley dribbled the ball across half court and gave it to Gay on the left wing.
Gay singled the old prince, and after a series of dribbles, he did not shake off the opponent and returned the ball to Conley.
"It's not easy for Rudy to beat Tayshaen like this!" Mav Albert said.
"Tayshayen is not fast, but Rudy's first step is not fast either. If you can't get rid of the opponent, it will be difficult to create an offensive space!" Mark Jackson added.
Conley used the cover to break into the corner of Xie Kai!
Xie Kai caught the ball and feinted a shot. Unexpectedly, Hamilton didn't falter.He forcibly walked the bottom line to break through, and before the attack time was up, he made a sudden stop jumper-short!
