"beep!"

The whistle blows and the game officially begins.

Dayao stood in the midfield circle, jumped the ball with Ben Wallace, and easily won the ball.

The basketball was passed to Allen Iverson by Yao in the air.

After getting the ball, Allen Iverson slowly dribbled to the frontcourt.

Looking at Chauncey Billups who was defending him, Allen Iverson's eyes were particularly firm.

Start immediately and try to break through from the right side.

Chauncey Billups rushed over and tried to defend.

However, Chauncey Billups is fast.

But it's not as fast as Allen Iverson in his prime.

Especially, in today's game, Allen Iverson was in particularly good condition.

With just one lunge, he was half a body away from Chauncey Billups.

The speed continued to increase during the sprint, and Chauncey Billups was completely thrown away in two or three steps, and then he went straight to the basket.

After seeing Allen Iverson rushing in, there was chaos under the basket.

Dayao and Kurt Thomas both tried their best to get into position, trying to leave the most comfortable space for Allen Iverson to lay up.

The Pistons' starting inside players Ben Wallace and Rasheed Wallace, the roaring king, are also trying to get stuck and can come in front of Allen Iverson for defense.

Although the Pistons under Larry Brown have a sense of arrogance, they look down on zone defense.

He only likes one-on-one marking.

But this doesn't mean that they won't make up defense.

Soon, Rasheed Wallace took advantage of the situation with Kurt Thomas, broke away from the basket, and came to Allen Iverson to defend.

But at this time, Allen Iverson was fully charged.

Facing Rasheed Wallace's defense, Allen Iverson put the ball together with both hands.

The left foot takes a step forward to the left, and then the right foot suddenly takes a step forward to the right.

Directly dodged Rasheed Wallace.

Throw the basketball gently toward the basket with your right hand.

"Whoa!"

A very fast European step and scored the first goal of the game!

The Knicks took the lead and scored two points!

Larry Brown on the sidelines couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw this scene.

He knows only too well how strong Allen Iverson's offensive firepower is.

Unless, like the Lakers did back then, a small player like Tyronn Lue who is faster and has good strength is arranged to guard Allen Iverson closely.

Use up Allen Iverson's energy as much as possible, and try every means to prevent him from catching the ball easily.

Otherwise, if you want to completely defend or restrict Allen Iverson, you can only expect him to have a bad touch today.

But here comes the problem.

Not to mention whether the current Pistons have such a player.

The current Allen Iverson plays more of a point guard position on the court.

Dribbling the ball directly from the backcourt to the frontcourt.

Do you want to prevent him from catching the basketball?!

Not very likely!

After all, this is a regular season and the game has just begun.

There is no way the Pistons would arrange for one person to guard Allen Iverson for the entire game at the beginning of the game, right?!

Thinking of this, Larry Brown made a decision in his mind.

He walked to the sidelines, shouted a few words, and then made a gesture.

When the Pistons players on the field saw it, they immediately became excited.

Before the game, Larry Brown specially gave them new tactical arrangements to deal with the Knicks.

Now, it's time to take it out.

Pistons offense.

After Chauncey Billups dribbled to the frontcourt, facing Allen Iverson's defense, he did not attack according to his previous offensive style.

In the past, Chauncey Billups was very good at using his own advantages to attack his enemies.

When the opponent is shorter than him, he will use his physical advantage to forcefully eat the opponent.

And when encountering an opponent who is physically strong but lacks speed, Chauncey's speed advantage can be fully demonstrated.

Generally speaking, when facing Allen Iverson, Chauncey Billups will choose to go to the low post for a post-up shot.

But this time, he directly directed his teammates to start running.

The Pistons players on the field were constantly running pick-and-rolls, and the Knicks players had to be driven to move.

After seeing his teammates start running, Chauncey Billups also took action.

Dribble slowly to the right.

Suddenly pull the basketball to the left, and then directly accelerate to break through from the left.

Allen Iverson was about to turn around and chase after him, but he felt as if he had hit a wall.

When he looked up, he saw Rasheed Wallace's face in front of him.

At this time, Chauncey Billups stopped directly after relying on Rasheed Wallace's pick-and-roll.

Taking advantage of the gap that neither Allen Iverson nor Kurt Thomas had time to step forward to cover, he jumped up and shot.

The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and went straight to the basket.

"Whoa!"

A long two-pointer!

The Pistons tied the score.

Looking back, the Knicks attack.

Allen Iverson dribbled to the frontcourt and found that the player responsible for defending him was still Chauncey Billups.

After thinking for a moment, Allen Iverson decided to pass the basketball inside and let Dayao attack.

This is also a scene that can often be seen with the Knicks this season.

The Knicks have a strong inside line, and there is no excuse for not playing more inside lines.

The basketball was successfully passed to Dayao's hands.

Facing Ben Wallace's defense, Dayao naturally did not dare to take it lightly.

After all, Ben Wallace won the league's Defensive Player of the Year award and entered the All-Star lineup with his superb defensive ability.

After thinking for a moment, Yao directly started playing post-up.

Once, twice, three times.

After struggling to move a little distance inside, Dayao gave up his post-up attack, put his hands together with the ball, and prepared to turn around and face the basket.

Yao, who is not as aggravated as he was in history, is still too reluctant to fight with strength when facing an inside player like Ben Wallace.

Put the ball together with both hands, turn quickly to the right at the same time, raise the basketball high with your right hand, and prepare to make a hook.

But at this moment, Rasheed Wallace, who was not far away, suddenly dropped Kurt Thomas and came to Dayao to double-team defense.

Facing the defense of two people, Dayao felt a sudden increase in defensive pressure.

Rasheed Wallace stared at him eagerly from the side, which also temporarily dashed his idea of ​​preparing a hook shot.

I had no choice but to put the basketball back to my chest.

Ben Wallace and Rasheed Wallace once again moved forward and approached Dayao, continuing to press Dayao's ball-holding space.

At this moment, it was difficult for Yao to pass the basketball.

In desperation, he had no choice but to turn around and take a fadeaway shot.

"Clang!"

Unfortunately, although the basketball was not blocked by Ben Wallace and Rasheed Wallace, it still hit the basket.

The rebound was won by Ben Wallace.

Seeing this scene, Han Ning on the sidelines couldn't help but frown.
Chapter completed!
