You'd better wrap me

Chapter 222

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the Clippers team rushed to the arena.

The pre-match training then started. Su Yang focused on practicing the quick rush to the basket after using the cover, and practiced [-] times in a row.

Rookie Azubuike curiously asked why, Su Yang said: "On the one hand, because the Pistons are better at defending shots, it is easier to score through breakthroughs. On the other hand, I want to confront Big Ben more head-on, so that reporters and commentators Observe fully.

It's like Mutombo bragging about his excellent defense, boasting that Jordan has never dunked him, and then Jordan dunked. "

Azubuike nodded half understanding.

While the Clippers were training, Pistons head coach Philip Saunders was interviewed by reporters in the player tunnel. When talking about Su Yang's competition with Big Ben's best defensive player, he slightly curled his lips and said: "Su Yang is a very honest player, willing to admit Some of his blocks, steals and rebounds are intentionally obtained, which just shows the gap between him and Daben, who is just defending normally.

If everyone values ​​and praises Su Yang's low post defense, Big Ben can also show his high post defense tonight.In short, Su Yang can do some things that Da Ben cannot, and Da Ben can do many things that Su Yang cannot. "

The interview aired on TNT soon.

Barkley commented: "Su Yang did improve the public's defensive evaluation by actively dislocating Bosh in the case of a big victory in the game, but he did have a good defensive effect. Even Garnett could not defend five times in a row. Bosh, to achieve three different forms of defensive success, although it is only an insignificant game, but I support Su Yang DPOY."

At six o'clock in a blink of an eye, the game started.

The Pistons are still the top five starters, but for the Clippers, Varejao replaced Brandon Bass and returned to the starting power forward. The main reason is that Bass was beaten by Brand in the previous game against the 76ers. This time against the Pistons, the same mistakes cannot be repeated. That's Rasheed.

Amidst the cheers of the audience, the Clippers won the jump ball.

Su Yang dribbled the ball to the left 45 of the frontcourt, and broke through to the right with the help of Milicic's cover. However, Daben rushed up without hesitation and teamed up with Prince to double-team, pressing back like two mountains, and one arm was super long , a body extra wide.

Can't get rid of easily!

Su Yang immediately threw the ball sideways to Iguodala on the left wing, then bowed and accelerated his dash, passing between Prince and Daben in an instant, reaching the free throw line like lightning, and receiving Iguodala's hit back to the ground. Pass, took a big step and took off in the air, ignoring Rasheed who defended Milicic in advance, and did not pass the ball to Varejao who got the open space. It was a dunk that exploded the entire arena.

The boos came to an abrupt end.

On the TNT live broadcast, Reggie Miller said: "As coach Philip Sanders said, Big Ben has the ability to defend on the line. He can cooperate with Prince to force Su Yang back again and again, but he can't make it in time. Returning to defense, that is where he is inferior compared to Kevin Garnett's super fast big man, of course, there are also reasons for Su Yang's super fast speed and rhythm."

The host Marvin Abbott chuckled: "I think the main reason is that Su Yang's pace is too fast. From being double-teamed to choosing a pass, to breaking through the wall and hitting the basket, Su Yang didn't stop for a second , did not leave any buffer time for Daben."

In-court play continues.

The Pistons ran a signature floppy tactic, Billups controlled the ball at the top of the arc, Hamilton ran from the short corner on the left, and Su Yang squeezed through the cover of Big Ben to chase to the bottom corner on the left, without giving the ball space, and twisted again. Hip turned around and crossed the paint area, bypassing Rasheed's screen, and forced Hamilton to be blocked in the right corner, which also did not give him room to receive the ball, but Hamilton was not convinced, and Billups was also patient enough to go from the right again. Running across the paint area from the left, Su Yang still took a step to chase, and bumped into Ben, who was violating the moving screen, but Hamilton had no choice but to cut off the passing route subconsciously.

Just casually stretched out his hand in the direction Billups was passing the ball, and it really touched the basketball. Hamilton hurriedly grabbed it, but accidentally flew the ball out of bounds. The referee had to whistle for a violation and the ball was transferred to Clippers, great defensive success.

In the live broadcast, Marvin Abbott sighed: "It's hard to believe that Su Yang was chasing Iverson in Philadelphia less than 24 hours ago, and played for 44 minutes, and now he is chasing Hamilton. Running all over the field, his stamina reserve is too scary, if he is all about stats, there is no need for him to do this kind of consumption, there is no stat bonus.”

Miller chuckled: "This scene feels so familiar. Su Yang is Jordan, and Hamilton is me..."

In-court games are played simultaneously.

It may be to take advantage of the negative effects of the Clippers back-to-back. The Pistons deliberately increased their speed, double-teamed Su Yang in large numbers, and gave up their best close-up and priority defense against shots. .

It is difficult for Su Yang to practice breakthroughs before the game.

After the Clippers started five without Ray Allen, except for Su Yang, the other four were not good at long-range shooting. Greatly reduced, only 18 points after the first quarter.

Fortunately, Su Yang led the team's defense, stealing + destroying the ball to interfere with the offense, and the Pistons only scored 17 points.

The second quarter kicked off, and Su Yang, who had just rested for 1 minute, made his debut again and met the Pistons for a fast break.

Barnes was in charge of defending the Pistons backup point guard Arroyo, who forced Arroyo to the right sideline.Seeing a chance to make a steal, Su Yang decisively pushed forward to double-team, but Arroyo was probably frightened, and jumped up in a hurry to pass the ball to the frontcourt with his right elbow.

In the blink of an eye, Su Yang rose from the ground, raised his right hand high in the air to catch the ball and steal it, and the offense and defense of the two teams suddenly changed.

Su Yang hit the ground and rushed to the frontcourt free throw line in two seconds. He leaped and slammed a dunk. After landing, Garnett beat his chest and roared. The Pistons bench everyone.

In the live broadcast, Miller sighed: "Su Yang can definitely be said to be the core of the Clippers' defense. He is not Garnett's wandering and sweeping the audience, nor is he dominating the restricted area and refusing to attack the basket like Daben. Unlimited provides morale bonuses, he doesn't need too many words, he only uses actions to show, time and time again hyper-exaggerated defense, he has a unique defensive system in the NBA."

Marvin nodded: "Yes, when the boss of the team defends like that desperately, any player will be inspired to fight and try boldly. Just now, Varejao defended Rashid a few times, and all of them used the bottom line to force Lashid. The way Sid turns around and shoots because he knows that Su Yang will give the help defense interference at the first time, so that the defense will limit Rashid to the greatest extent..."

Su Yang on the field felt slightly tired, but more excited about dominating the game. He turned around and wanted to take a breath, but in the blink of an eye, he saw Rashid's singles coming off the bench for Brandon Bass, and Bass His stature and height were a bit worse than Varejao's. Even if he imitated Varejao's way of cutting the bottom line, he was knocked back again and again by Rashid, at a loss.

With a flash of thought, Su Yang gave up marking Hamilton. Taking advantage of Rashid's turning around, he walked around to avoid his sight, and strode to the basket. The ball hits the ground, and he picks it up to launch a fast break.

There were boos in the arena.

Su Yang rushed to the free throw line in the frontcourt, swayed away from McDyess with a European step, and then slammed the ball around the top to avoid the interference of Hamilton's long arm, and finally scored a backhand layup.The Pistons hurriedly requested a timeout, replacing Billups who played 12 minutes in the first quarter.

The Pistons have stabilized the situation.

The two teams continued to fight defensively. The Pistons' record of 40 wins and 8 losses since the start of the game is only 5 games more than the Clippers. At least they are strong enough in the regular season. situation.

Between you and me, at the end of the game with 1 minute and 02 seconds left, Su Yang forced a three-pointer against the double-team.

The basketball rebounded with a bang, the Pistons got the rebound and launched a fast break, and Billups made a long pass from the frontcourt and did not return to the defense.

Seeing this, Su Yang started from the top of the arc and sprinted forward. Like Bolt, he went to the basket in the frontcourt. He followed Da Ben's toss and took off. And Iguodala quickly dunked and scored.

The Clippers established a two-point lead.

Turning to Hamilton to receive the ball, he asked Rasheed to play a pick-and-roll on the right wing, obviously preparing to break through and hit the basket.Seeing this, Su Yang yelled for Varejao to delay his defense, and then followed Rashid who dismantled the inside cut to the right waist, and Hamilton made a simultaneous pass.

The big situation of small defense is formed.

Su Yang dared to push himself, lowered his center of gravity and stepped forward, while Rashid suddenly turned around and took off to shoot.

In an instant, Su Yang stepped forward and took off, slapped the big hat and slapped the basketball in Rashid's hand. He landed and grabbed it in his hand and turned around and ran wildly. The LOGO position in the frontcourt called for 14FLAT tactical singles. Two points strike iron.

Big Ben jumped high and grabbed the rebound. The Pistons requested a timeout to deploy tactics. There were 12 seconds left before the end of the game.

Su Yang went straight to the bench, took the towel from the staff, wiped off the sweat from his forehead, he was exhausted.

Spoelstra didn't say much, he only said that if he wanted to boldly double-team Rashid or Hamilton, he could let go of Da Ben a little.

The timeout ends and the game continues.

The Pistons put on a typical floppy formation, Hamilton ran around the field with the help of screens, and Su Yang chased around the field. However, between consecutive screens, the referee did not whistle to force Billups and Prince to move. Can barely interfere with shots.

The basketball bounced back with a clatter.

The Clippers bench cheered.

But Big Ben grabbed the offensive rebound, still misplaced to face Iguodala, and immediately used his strength to sit up and squeeze the space to take off.

Seeing that the basketball was about to be shot, Su Yang flew towards him, held the ball with a big cap, and held it tightly in his arms.

According to past habits, he must attack quickly, but after playing 46 minutes, he really couldn't run.

Billups fouled in a hurry, and Su Yang made two free throws steadily, helping the Clippers lead by 4 points with 2 seconds left.

The Pistons chose not to play, and the Clippers finally won 91 to 87.Su Yang scored 30 points, 10 assists, 10 rebounds, 6 steals and 3 blocks. When he heard the final whistle, he immediately sat on the floor to take a rest, but the team doctor rushed into the field and suggested walking slowly to relax.

Su Yang turned to pull Iguodala and Payton to stand up, and walked to the middle circle to accept a post-match interview with TNT reporters.

I don't know who took the lead, the fans cheered and applauded, and shouted MVP at Su Yang, resounding through the Palace of Auburn Hills.

At the end of the interview, Big Ben, who had been waiting for a long time, came up to greet him: "Su, you are the stronger defensive player tonight."

Su Yang raised his hand to give him a high-five: "Do my best, it is worth remembering to be able to compete with you, next time I will fight for another [-] rounds."

The TNT cameraman caught the two men bumping into each other and took pictures, and the picture was sent back to the studio. Kenny Smith said excitedly: "Have you seen it? Even the big Ben is convinced by Su Yang's defense, the best defensive player of the year It's official."

　Come up with a small BUG, ​​the Pistons have played once before at home.
