78:101, the home team is ahead, and the Hawks' first home game of the new season ended in a tragic defeat!

The first official game at Phillips Arena made home fans disappointed, and Ke Yan was very regretful. But facing the Hawks and Pistons, it was like Superman meeting Kryptonite. From the lineup structure to the team's playing style, they were on the restrained side.

Ben Wallace's defensive range from the three-second zone to the three-point line obviously suppressed the Hawks' backcourt double guns. In addition, the powerful pressure exerted by a group of defensive players from the outside, the Pistons completely strangled Paul.

In the first half, Paul made 1 of 7 shots and scored only 2 points. Billups used his "big ass" to keep eating raw on the defensive end, and was completely beaten on both offense and defense.

Joe Johnson barely maintained production, scoring 21 points on 7 of 19 shots, and in this "beating" game, he retained at least a little dignity for the Hawks.

After the score difference reached 20, the intensity of confrontation imposed by the Pistons decreased. With Ke Yan's acquiesce, Paul "brushed" his scoring data to double digits, contributing 11 points and 6 assists in the whole game.

David Lee also contributed 11 points and 6 rebounds, and as a substitute, it is one of the few highlights of the Hawks.

The 78-point score was the lowest score game since Ke Yan coached, and the Pistons were also the only opponent that Ke Yan had never read since coached.

Just like the once-bad boys sniping Jordan, the Pistons have always had no choice but to play the role of "wistling stone".

Fortunately, a defeat did not shake fans' confidence in the Pistons, as some fans said: "The team is still very young and has taken the first step in reconstruction. No one can do this in a summer to make the Hawks, the last season's top-ranked team, have the ability to challenge the runner-up team in the finals."

The next day, the news reported the Eagles' defeat, but few people belittled them because of this. The forum still had a voice of encouragement.

Some fans even "funny in pain" and find highlights from failures. For example, David Lee, who joined the team at the end of the first round but scored in double digits in the first three games of his career, has soared popularity among the Hawks fans. Judging from the strength he has shown soaringly, David Lee should be a lottery show!

On November 5, the Eagles ushered in a back-to-back game and continued to sit at home, facing the Cleveland Cavaliers led by the Little Emperor James.

On the far side of the Pacific Ocean, CCTV included this game in the broadcasting plan. Yang Yi, who is very interested in Paul, basically contracted the Eagles' broadcasting games this season as a guest and yoga partner.

In the studio, Yang Yi introduced the situation of both parties:

"The Eagles achieved two wins and one loss after the start of the game, defeating the Bucks and Raptors, losing to the Pistons, and temporarily ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference. The Cavaliers are currently one win and one loss. They have to play one less game, defeating the Bulls, and losing to the 76ers. This game is also a dialogue between James and Paul. Paul is the most eye-catching rookie this season, with good scoring and organization, and his ideas for handling the ball are very clear. There is a certain threat to James, the position of "the first person in the future league". "It has to be said that Yang Yi has a good vision, and he dares to express his opinions, and he has praised Paul to a high position in his words.

Compared with Zhang Heli's "sales-style" commentary, Daxu is "the great Michael Jordan" every day, Yang Yi's commentary dares to predict and is often slapped in the face.

After warming up the shooting, the starters of both sides quickly pulled into the middle of the court and shook hands one after another.

The Hawks' starting lineup has not changed. In this game, Percy and Josh Smith can join forces to limit James, but this is not easy when there is no big center in the interior.

The Cavaliers' starting lineup: Damon Jones, Larry Hughes, James, Gooden, and Ilgoskas, are also the starting lineups in the first two games.

The Cavaliers' summer offseason reinforcement plan perfectly reflects Mike Brown's idea of ​​creating a "one-star four-shot" system for James. The team renewed the contract with high-paying high-center Ilgoskas, who has shooting ability, signed space-type inside Marshall and pitcher point guard Damon Jones in the free agent market. They are all those who open up space for James. The joining of the "Washington Thief" Larry Hughes can improve the team's defensive ability in the back line, and at the same time, it can also serve as a "deputy attacker" around James.

This idea itself is actually not a big problem, the problem is to select people. The city of Cleveland lacks attractiveness, and James' reputation has not been saved to attract others to join him. The Cavaliers missed Ray Allen and Michael Reed in the free agent market one after another, and had to grab Larry Hughes at a high price, which is not as good as Joe Johnson, who is slightly lower!

Other signings of the Cavaliers are also premium. Although the boss Gilbert is willing to spend money to build a team around James, he will pay luxury taxes. But luxury is not something you can pay as long as you want, and signing a premium contract is easily regarded as a kid by the agent group.

Josh Smith really doesn't want to jump the ball and find abuse, but there is no way. The best person in the team's starting lineup is Josh Smith. You can't let Dior play, right?

Josh Smith Alexander lost the jump ball without an accident with the big z who was one head taller than him. The Cavaliers attacked and the game officially began.

After several passes, James broke into the inside, attracting the defense of the two Percy and Dior, and bounced back to Ilgoscas next to him. The latter did not hesitate at all and jumped up and shot.

A hand flew towards me and covered Ilgoskas' ball hard. Paul from the outside picked up the ball and rushed forward. Facing James' pursuit and defense, he was not greedy for the sake of James's defense. A brake stuck James behind him, trembled his wrist and handed the ball to Joe Johnson who was inserted on the right, who easily dunked.

The offense of this ball originated from Josh Smith's block. Although he is still a little far from "Marion", Josh Smith is already working hard in this direction.

Although he thinks he is Stoudemire, Ke Yan asked him to work hard in Marion's direction, and he is willing to obey. Whether it is Stoudemire or Marion. When your inside partner is Dior, don't worry about running out of the opportunity and he won't pass the ball to you.

James brought the ball through half the court, raised his hand and made a gesture, and his teammates immediately understood. Damon Jones, Larry Hughes and Gooden immediately pulled to the left, and Ilgoskas ran out from the left to block James Posey. James accelerated to break through, and came to the right side, watching Dior who was making up for defense, shook his body without any mercy, and turned around, rushed into the inside from the bottom line, stepped into the three-second zone, facing Josh Smith head-on, jumped up directly, and stuck in the air for a moment. When Josh Smith jumped up the blocked body gradually fell, he pushed the basketball in his hand with one hand and wiped the board into the basket. (2:2)

The Hawks were about to hit the ball, and the Cavaliers returned to defense as soon as possible. After a week, Paul found that there was no good opportunity. He dribbled the ball to the 45-degree angle on the right and threw the ball to Dior in the low post. He ran to the top of the arc, and then suddenly ran back, and with the help of Josh Smith's cover from the inside, he gained a short space.

Dior kept paying close attention to his teammate's running position and passed the ball in time. Paul shot when he received the ball. Damon Jones was slower and did not interfere with his shooting. He could only watch the basketball spin rapidly and flew into the basket.

The game continued, Percy led the defense and delayed the blocking of James's ball and passed the halftime. Then Joe Johnson and Percy formed a cross-bow, James passed the ball to Hughes, Paul replaced the defense, and Joe Johnson remarried Damon Jones.

Hughes tried to play Paul alone, but he didn't expect that the rookie defended so well. He failed to do so twice, and the attack time was nearly 24 seconds. There was no way, and a sudden breakthrough forced Paul and rushed forward. He was about to make a shot, but was disturbed by Josh Smith who ran out.

Dior and Joe Johnson got stuck, helping Paul get a steadily rebound.

James' instinctive reaction to cross-strikes is to pass the ball. Larry Hughes is another single player with a single style who is not good at outside shooting. If the ball is stuck in his hands, even if it can be picked again, the Cavaliers' remaining offensive time will not be enough to organize it again. When it comes to James's hands, he will have to attack hard, but it depends on whether the Hawks can defend James.

A player like James cannot defend himself. The key point is to keep him in an environment of "playing more with less"!
