The NBA started with helping Iverson win the championship

Chapter 208 The United Arab Emirates at 7 minutes and 16 minutes
At eight o'clock the next night, Li Xun and Yao Ming were sitting on the sidelines, neither of them were going to appear on stage tonight.

Yao Ming usually plays four games and rests one game, which is good for him to maintain his physical fitness and health for the playoffs.

Anyway, the Pistons don't really need Yao Ming to fight hard in the regular season.

As for Li Xun not appearing tonight, he just wanted to give the Nets a chance.

If he is on the court, the Nets will probably lose again. Even if Yi Jianlian's strength has greatly improved now, their overall combat power is still far inferior to the Pistons.

Now that the Tianchao Twin Towers are not on the court, the overall combat power of the Pistons has dropped a lot.

In this way, the Nets may have a chance to win the Pistons.

Li Xun didn't care much about the outcome of this regular season.

After winning this game, the Pistons are No. [-] in the Eastern Conference. If they lose, they are still No. [-] in the Eastern Conference.

Now the Pistons' record is ahead of other Eastern Conference teams, and it has reached an extremely amazing level.

"What? Neither Li Xun nor Yao Ming played?"

"Hey, I've been looking forward to this game for a long time, and I just want to have another Celestial Derby."

"Can this be considered a Celestial Derby? Yao Ming and Li Xun Derby Yi Jianlian? You think too highly of Yi Jianlian."

"What is despised, isn't that also our Chinese player?"

"Do you think Li Xun will help Ah Lian? He is living a miserable life now."

"What's so miserable, the starter hits the ball and averages 11 shots per game, is that miserable? What do you make those water dispenser players think?"

Before the game, the Chinese fans talked a lot. Seeing that the Tianchao Twin Towers did not play, they were unavoidably disappointed.

The Nets fans at the scene were also very disappointed. Did they come to watch the Nets game?

of course not.

What can be seen in the Nets' game, there is not a single decent star.

Da Luo has not yet been selected as an All-Star, he is just a rookie who performed well.

As for Harris, he is not considered a first-tier star in the league.

And as a traditional point guard, there's nothing fancy about his style of play.

The reason why they went to watch the game was to pay a relatively high ticket price, not just to see Li Xun.

As a result, Li Xun didn't make an appearance tonight.

Now whether it is the Pistons' home or away game, the ticket price has risen a lot.

The ticket price of NBA games is not static. When encountering those popular away teams, the home team will also increase the ticket price. It is impossible to miss this opportunity to make money.

"Dudududu!"

The referee blew the whistle to start the game, and the starters of both sides began to appear on the field.

The starting lineup for the Pistons to play tonight is Jordan, Rasheed, Artest, Hamilton and Iverson.

The Nets' starting lineup includes Daluo, Alian, Chris Roberts, Courtney Lee and Devin Harris.

Looks like a rather sloppy starting lineup.

Among them, small forward Roberts is a second-round pick in the same class as Li Xun.

Again, not every second-round pick is Li Xun.

There must be a reason why the second-round pick is the second-round pick, especially the small forward position.

There are still great second-round picks in NBA history, such as Ginobili and Jokic in later generations.

But careful fans can find that there are no small forward players.

Li Xun is definitely an outlier, but he is actually not a pure small forward. He is somewhat similar to Millsap, and it can be said that he is a dubious player.

Of course, it can also be said that he is a good player.

In the jump ball link, Jordan successfully jumped the ball, and Iverson began to lead the team to attack.

Controlling the ball to the frontcourt, Iverson passed the ball to Rasheed, a little careless, and was directly intercepted by the UAE.

Li Xun nodded in satisfaction. It seems that the 93-point super high perimeter defensive attribute has played a role.

After Ah Lian got the ball, he didn't pass the ball, and even directly controlled the ball and rushed towards the frontcourt.

After all, he also got Durant's ball-handling attributes. The ball-handling ability is not the top in the league, but the upstream level is still there.

Ah Lian didn't know why he did this, he only knew that he had one thought in his heart, that is, he could control the ball well.

"Is it really hypnotized by Li Xun?"

Ah Lian couldn't help muttering.

After reaching the frontcourt, Rashid stepped forward to defend.

At this moment, Yi Jianlian thought of Li Xun's instructions in his mind.

In the face of weak players, he will play back.

Facing a strong player, he used the pick-and-roll to make a mid-range shot.

Looking at Rashid, Ah Lian felt that his strength should be stronger than Rashid.

Rashid himself is not a strong player, he is more flexible.

In addition to being older now, in fact, he is indeed not as strong as the young and strong UAE now.

According to the physical measurement data of the Bucks during the UAE's rookie period, the bench press was exactly [-] kilograms.

This data seems to be rubbish, compared to Yao Ming's 150 kg class, it seems that it is not on the table at all.

But you must know that Yao Ming's bench press was at his peak, and Ah Lian was a rookie's bench press.

Yao Ming in his rookie period, whether he can push 100 kilograms is a matter of two opinions.

Now that two years have passed, under the training of NBA professional strength trainers, Ah Lian's size and muscle dimension have obviously increased a circle, and his strength must be much stronger.

Not much to say, 120 kg is still available.

Facing Rashid's defense, Yi Jianlian turned around and played back.

In terms of personal skills, Ah Lian has no problem, even his skills are much more refined than Li Xun.

Facing Rashid, Ah Lian opened a position, turned around and made a mid-range shot.

"Shh!"

With a CIC attribute of 98 points, he scored directly.

Rashid didn't pay much attention to it, after all, he only made one mid-range shot, and it wasn't a big deal.

He has already reached the NBA level, and he is still a starter. It is nothing unusual to score a mid-range shot.

But in the next few offensive rounds, Rashid felt that the situation was getting out of control.

In the past few offensive rounds, the UAE has been asking for the ball to single Rashid, and the key offensive efficiency is still quite high.

He played back six times in the opening game, scored three of them, and also drew a foul by Rasheed and made two free throws.

Six shots and scored 8 points.

Yi Jianlian felt a little unbelievable at the moment.

This offensive efficiency is actually not that outstanding, but it is much better than before.

And he had a feeling in his heart that the six offensive rounds just now were definitely not his best state.

Rasheed yelled at Artest twice during the defense phase.

He has realized that he can't defend Yi Jianlian at all, so he simply lets the strong Artest defend.

Don't you like playing back?Let you try to fight the beast on your back.

Seeing the beast Artest come to matchup, Ah Lian immediately changed his offensive thinking and began to use his teammates to make mid-range shots.

"Shhhhh!"

A seven-footer with a 90-point speed and a 98-point CIC.

When he uses his teammates' pick-and-rolls to shoot mid-range shots, the offensive threat is too terrifying.

In the next five mid-range shots, Ah Lian actually scored four of them.

It made Artest's angry face turn green.

Just a little over half a quarter into the game, the UAE made 11 crazy shots, scoring 7 of them, and two free throws.

A total of 16 points were credited!
7 minutes and 16 points, this is definitely something that the United Arab Emirates never dreamed of before.

It's too dreamy!

Off the court, Li Xun smacked his lips, as if he was a little too cautious about Ah Lian's instructions.

To play against a short man like Artest, the United Arab Emirates actually doesn't need to use a pick-and-roll, just pull directly in front of Artest.

With Artest's height, it is impossible for him to have the opportunity to block Yi Jianlian's shots.

But it's better to be safe. Being able to use the pick-and-roll to make a shot is of course safer than a dry pull.
