After signing with the Nets, I stopped pretending and I had a showdown

Chapter 22 22. Double Beast Pounce: This guy is crazy! !
On the evening of October 10, the opening game of the new NBA season officially started.

The Nets players entered the arena on time after spending some time in the locker room.

Wei Xu was very excited to play the regular season on behalf of an NBA team for the first time.Although Kidd had told him before that that the Pistons fans at home were crazy, but when Wei Xu entered the field, he was still shocked by the scene he saw.

The Palace of Auburn Hills is one of the league's most famous devil's home stadiums, having experienced the heyday of the "bad boys" led by Isiah Thomas in the past.The scene was full of fans in blue and red T-shirts, and the noise was too loud.This is the first time that Wei Xu played under the gaze of nearly [-] fans. The scale of Ligue [-] is still too small compared to the NBA, and the sense of oppression brought by the fans is not the same as here.

The visiting team will always hear jeers and boos when they come here to play. This atmosphere is a test for the visiting team players.People who are not psychologically strong enough are easily disturbed, and it is perfectly normal to perform abnormally.

The Palace of Auburn Hills is the only venue among the 30 NBA teams that is far away from the city center. It is located in Auburn Hills, a suburb 80 kilometers away from downtown Detroit. This is also the origin of the name of the stadium.
It's hard for a rookie playing at the Palace of Auburn Hills for the first time not to feel nervous.Armstrong's legs have already started to weaken, and he was almost frightened by the fanatical fans who chose people to devour them.

Wei Xu is also very nervous, but he is a person who has seen the world after all. It is true that he is not at peace, but he is not so frightened that his legs go limp.Standing on the sidelines and getting used to it for 2 minutes, Wei Xu's excited mood gradually calmed down. It is a big taboo on the court to be defeated without a fight, and he needs to adjust his mentality.

No matter how crazy the Pistons fans were, they didn't dare to rush down and beat him up. They could scold him as much as they liked, and Wei Xuquan took it as a cheer for him.

After the tempering of the confrontation match and the preseason, Wei Xu's personal strength has improved a little, and his ball control has reached 42, an increase of 2 points.Kidd is one of the top ball-handling masters in NBA history. Wei Xu learned a lot from him, especially protecting the ball during layups to avoid being cut off by opponents.

His shooting hasn't continued to improve, but his consistency in the open state is good.There are [horn killers] at the middle distance on both sides, and the hit rate after running out of opportunities is still very stable.

Wei Xu firmly believes that he can play well in this game. With the cooperation of star teammates like Jason Kidd, as long as he plays normally, he will definitely have a lot of scoring opportunities tonight.

The game was broadcast live on TNT TV, and the two commentators were the old partners Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith.Before the game, the two briefly introduced the lineups of the Nets and Pistons, as well as the records of last season's matchups that were not of much reference value.

It was not until he saw Wei Xu's name in the Nets' roster that Charles Barkley said with a smile on his face: "Wei Xu is the MVP of this year's summer league. Hurry up, he is the first Asian player to receive this honor in league history."

Kenny Smith said with a smile: "The coaching staff is likely to arrange Wei Xu to start today. Byron Scott praised him a lot in the previous press conference. He obviously recognized Wei Xu's strength. He won the follow-up in the preseason. He received the same treatment as the other main players, and he hardly played much. Everyone will know how strong he is today."

After warming up, the starting players of both sides played.

Pistons five: Atkins, Stackhouse, Michael Curry, Clifford Robinson, and center Ben Wallace.

Charles Barkley said: "The Pistons have a good interior configuration. The starting power forward is the newly joined Robinson. This player has both offense and defense. He was a teammate with Jason Kidd last season. He has good athletic talent, but he is easily controlled by offensive players. Don't stop jumping."

Robinson is 2 meters tall and weighs 08 kilograms. He is thin and tall with outstanding lateral speed.The most important thing is that he is also a well-known iron man in the history of the NBA. He has been in the league for 102 years, played 12 games in 6 seasons, and had an attendance rate of more than 82 games in 9 seasons, and he was almost uninjured.

Kenny Smith said: "Wei Xu is indeed the starting small forward for the Nets. The management should focus on training him. It is rare for a second-round pick to serve as the team's starter in the opening game, especially in such an important game. "

Nets starters: Jason Kidd, Kidders, Wei Xu, Van Horn, and Kenyon Martin.

Kenyon Martin, who was originally a power forward, has moved to the center position in the new season. Scott is a coach who pays attention to mobility.The Nets' lineup is not suitable for positional warfare. Instead of fighting the defensively strong Pistons, it is better to take a slant, speed up and run as much as you want.

Kenyon Martin and Big Ben jumped the ball in the middle circle. The athletic talents of the two are not at the same level.With a light jump, Kenyon Martin patted the ball into the hands of Kidd in the backcourt.

At the same time, Wei Xu repeated his old tricks, sprinting with all his strength like he did in the summer league, and slammed into the penalty area of ​​the Pistons.Carlisle emphasized defense before the game, but Michael Curry was still thrown away by Wei Xu's sudden start.

Michael Curry's concentration was very concentrated, but his explosive power couldn't keep up with Wei Xu, so he could only follow behind depressedly.

Seeing that Wei Xu ran out of opportunities with explosive power, Kidd, who was holding the ball in the backcourt, was also unambiguous, and quickly passed the ball to Wei Xu who went straight to the basket.

After Wei Xu received the ball, the Pistons only had Atkins react and help defend from the weak side.However, Atkins is only 1 meters tall and weighs just over 8 kilograms. Wei Xu's defense against him is not in vain.During the march, three steps merged into two steps, sticking to Atkins' body and violently dunking the basketball with both hands.

2 is better than 0!

"Roar!"

After landing, Wei Xu roared in the direction of the baseline camera.

This was his first sports goal in the NBA regular season, and Wei Xu was very excited.

"Oh! This guy is too explosive. He caught the Pistons by surprise at the beginning of the game." Charles Barkley shouted: "Facing Wei Xu's unreasonable dunk, Atkins didn't dare to draw a foul. I can only step aside and watch him dunk, this is an unexpected score!"

Michael Curry, who was out of position defensively, performed a bit ugly. Now he knows why Coach Carlisle wants him to be serious and focus on marking Wei Xu.This kid doesn't talk about martial arts, and he will start a surprise attack when he comes up. I hate him so much that even the roots of his teeth start to itch!
The Pistons attack, Atkins dribbles through the half court, and Robinson picks and rolls high.

Robinson averaged 16 points per game for the Suns last season. Although he is not a scoring maniac, he can shoot suddenly and face the frame very well.

After disassembling, Atkins hit the ball and passed it to Robinson. The latter caught the ball and dribbled a step to adjust his position, facing Van Horn's defensive mid-range jumper and scored. 2 to 2.

Van Horn has a height of 2 meters, but he is not good at defense.Robinson catches the ball and shoots smoothly. He stretches out his hand to interfere but is ineffective.

In a positional battle, Kidd holds the ball at the top of the arc, and Kenyon Martin pulls out to play a pick-and-roll with him.Although the two are also cooperating for the first season, they do the same things in the team.One is good at passing and the other is good at cutting. It is most suitable for high pick-and-rolls.

At the same time, Keith Van Horn on the weak side was not idle, and the moment Kidd started holding the ball, he ran out and made an off-ball screen for Wei Xu.This is a tactic specially formulated by Byron Scott before the game. The strong and weak sides pick and roll at the same time, and whoever has a better chance will end it.The tactical thinking is not complicated, but it extremely tests the point guard's passing vision.

However, this kind of thing naturally does not bother Kidd, not to mention playing two sets of pick-and-rolls at the same time, even if the opponent is counted as playing four sets at the same time, he can observe it.Van Horn blocked Michael Curry slightly with his body, and Wei Xu got rid of it with his speed advantage and moved to the left side of the free throw line to catch the ball.

Kidd watched all directions, saw Wei Xu's position, and immediately passed the ball to him.Atkins is only 1 meters tall, and his defense depends entirely on his strength, which is not enough to interfere with Kidd's ball route.

Wei Xu made an emergency stop on the left side of the free throw line and shot a jumper, as relaxed as he was in a training game.Michael Curry lost his defensive position, and he stretched out his hand symbolically after chasing from the side, which did not bring any shooting interference to Wei Xu.

The basketball drew a beautiful arc in midair.

In the next second, "Shua!".

4:2.

After the opening, he scored 4 points in a row, and his shots from inside and outside showed his star style. Wei Xu's stable offensive performance won the praise of the commentator Charles Barkley: "It's beautiful, Wei Xu's sense of running without the ball is very good. In these two rounds, he They all used the time difference to get rid of Michael Curry's pursuit and defense, this little guy is really smart."

Kenny Smith said in surprise: "Is the Nets planning to use Wei Xu as the main offensive point today? Oh, God, this is crazy, is this the treatment that a second-round pick should have?"

Michael Curry now understands why coach Carlisle would get angry when he saw him absent-minded, and told him to take Wei Xu seriously.He failed to keep up with Wei Xu's running route twice, and was thrown away so thoroughly that his rear taillights could barely be seen.

Before the game, he thought that he had a clear physical advantage against the Asians, but in the first two rounds, his opponents scored consecutively, which made Michael Curry feel tight.I'm afraid that Coach Carlisle will throw him into limbo in anger.

Wei Xu's first step started too fast. Michael Curry and Kobe have played against each other many times. Every time the Pistons play the Lakers, he is responsible for defending Kobe.He was sure that the rookie in front of him had an explosive speed faster than Kobe!
Stackhouse on the side frowned when he saw this scene.No wonder Coach Carlisle told him before the game that the speed of this guy is too fast, and he felt like he couldn't guard against him.
The Pistons attacked, and Atkins dribbled the ball halfway and was entangled by Kidd. The head star Stackhouse came out from the bottom corner to catch the ball.Facing Wei Xu's close defense, Stackhouse operated fiercely like a tiger, dribbled the ball under his crotch, turned around and opened the distance, and turned over and shot a jumper one meter away from the free throw line.

It is not a good choice for him to single out Wei Xu. Wei Xu's athletic talent is beyond the table, and it is difficult for Stackhouse to create shooting opportunities when he is closely entangled.Although Wei Xu failed to block the shot in this round, he successfully interfered with his shooting by virtue of his speed and explosive power.

Kenyon Martin easily accepted the rebound, and the Pistons retreated quickly, apparently out of fear that the Nets would counterattack with all their strength like mad dogs.

In positional warfare, Kidd dribbles at the top of the arc, and Wei Xu runs on the weak side.This time it was the stronger Kenyon Martin who pulled out to cover. Martin blocked Michael Curry with his shoulder.Curry wanted to go around the screen and chase, but Martin cut back to the middle and was blocked again on his way around the defense.

After being blocked twice in a row, it is difficult for Wei Xu to interfere with this situation, let alone Michael Curry.Wei Xu's shot was very fast. He received a pass from Kidd on the right side of the free throw line and made an emergency stop jump shot. It took less than a second from receiving the ball to shooting.Michael Curry jumped up to block the block with all his strength, but the distance was too far, and it was destined to be futile.

Wei Xu's take-off height is very high, which also makes it difficult for his shot to be blocked by the opponent. The ball draws an arc in the air, whoosh!Hollow into the net. 6 to 2.

"Nice job!" Kidd and Wei Xu clapped their hands when returning to defense.These few assists came too easily. He only needs to stand at the top of the arc to deal the cards, and Wei Xu can easily run out of shooting opportunities.He has seen many players with excellent running awareness, but this is the first time Kidd has seen a rookie as outstanding as Wei Xu.

Byron Scott stood on the sidelines with a smile on his face. Every time Wei Xu scored a goal, he would take the lead in applauding.He looked as relaxed as he was in training, running, catching the ball, and then shooting. The whole set of movements was done in one go, and he withstood the pressure of the fans on the scene. This psychological quality is not strong enough.

Armstrong was also very excited about this meeting, acting as the atmosphere group on the sidelines, waving towels wildly.Wei Xu is his good brother. Seeing Wei Xu scoring consecutive goals in the opening game, Armstrong, who had difficulty getting playing time in a short period of time, was very excited. He hoped that Wei Xu would have a big explosion tonight and lead his team to pull out the Pistons away.

In the backstage studio, Kenny Smith said: "Wei Xu scored another jump shot, and he has already swept the team's first 6 points after the opening. These three passes are all due to the cooperation between him and Kidd. To work together for a season and have such a good chemistry is just incredible."

Charles Barkley said: "Obviously, Michael Curry can't keep up with his speed, and he struggles every time he circles the screen. His lateral speed is too disadvantageous for Wei Xu. I don't know if Coach Carlisle will treat this group. Make adjustments."

The Pistons were attacking, Atkins was at the top of the arc and Ben was picking and rolling, Kidd was close to him during the breakthrough, and he was forced to transfer the ball to Robinson on the outside.The latter caught the ball and moved laterally, and the weak side made a three-pointer with an emergency stop and made a jumper. 6 to 5.

Van Horn's defensive awareness is so poor, he didn't expect Robinson to shoot a three-pointer.Although Robinson made 36.1% of his three-pointers last season, his output was not high, averaging only 1.1 per game.Van Horn didn't follow Robinson close, and was caught off guard by his three-pointer.

After the opening, Robinson also swept the first 5 points of the Pistons. This situation is obviously something that people did not expect before the game.The veteran stars of the two teams did not score at the beginning, but the new players who joined the team took the lead and became the thighs of the first quarter of the game.

The Nets attacked and lost three consecutive rounds of defense. Michael Curry will now work harder on defense, and began to use tough close-fitting pulls to make up for the disadvantage in speed with small moves.The NBA in the early [-]s encouraged confrontation. Similar to this kind of muscle collision without the ball, referees often did not whistle.

If Michael Curry's small moves are put into 20 years, he will have to graduate with six offenses in less than half a quarter.The defensive moves are too big, and the "body hair" of the offensive players is almost distorted. How can the stars bear it?
Wei Xu didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Every era has its own rules.The league encourages physical confrontation. As long as it is not a foul that affects the offensive player's shooting, the referee's whistle has always been loose.If you can't even withstand this confrontation, how can you play in the playoffs?
Michael Curry can entangle him with small moves, and he can also entangle other stars with small moves, which is fair.

Kenyon Martin screened without the ball, and Wei Xu failed to get rid of Michael Curry's pursuit this time.Wei Xu, who couldn't run out of opportunities, was not upset. He simply took Michael Curry to walk the dog all over the court, and used the cover to intersperse up and down, disrupting the Pistons' defensive formation and creating offensive opportunities for other teammates around him.

Even if he doesn't make a shot, he can lead the defender around and consume the defender's physical strength.This is a typical Hamilton style of play. It doesn't matter if you don't have enough firepower. It takes 48 minutes to play a game.

His pulling creates a good breakthrough opportunity for his teammates.Kidd broke through to the inside after the pick-and-roll, encountered a double-team and passed the ball to Kiedles at 45 degrees on the right. 9 to 5.

Carlisle's frown became tighter. The Nets are not a team with unsolvable offensive firepower. However, after the game started, the Nets scored consecutive shots and deliberately avoided the penalty area guarded by Ben Wallace.In this game, the Nets came prepared at first sight, which gave him a very bad premonition.

The Pistons attacked, Atkins took the ball from the top of the arc and made three threats, relying on Jason Kidd's body to break through to the basket.Seeing this, Wei Xu let go of Stackhouse for double-teaming, and the gambling steal failed after going around. Atkins transferred the ball to Stackhouse in a wide range.

The latter caught the ball and made a three-pointer, but was interfered by Wei Xu, who returned to the defense in time, and missed the half-open shot.Stackhouse's career three-point shooting rate is less than 30%. Although he dared to shoot offensively, his efficiency was low. After being emptied by Wei Xu, he still didn't make it.

However, the Pistons' offense was not over yet. Big Ben in the penalty area relied on his strength to push Martin away and actively grabbed the offensive rebound.He didn't play the second offense. After attracting a flanking attack at the basket, he passed the ball hand-to-hand to Michael Curry, who was cut from the weak side, and assisted Curry to dunk the basketball with both hands. 9 to 7.

When Big Ben returned to the defense, he showed off his strong biceps to Kenyon Martin, as if to say: Idiot, today I will grab 20 rebounds on your head!
Kenyon Martin is in a poor state tonight. He really doesn't have many ways to score in the face of Big Ben, and even his rebounding and frame protection efficiency is at a disadvantage.This is the sadness of the Beast insiders, Daben's fierce style of play just beat him.

The Nets were attacking, and Kenyon Martin went to the middle to play a pick-and-roll with Kidd, trying to take the big money and save face in this round.However, Big Ben is very experienced in defense. He took a step back and blocked Kenyon Martin's air-cutting route ahead of time, making him unable to pick up his speed.

In college, many teams defended Kenyon Martin like this. If he rolls down and cannot rush up, the threat will be much smaller.The Beast's insiders rely on explosiveness and impact. Once the power is interrupted, they can only play with enthusiasm on the court.

Seeing that both Martin and Wei Xu failed to run out of opportunities, Kidd fell to the low position on the right and took advantage of the tonnage to eat Atkins alone.

Michael Curry couldn't help defend, and Wei Xu stood there, even if he was killed, he didn't dare to help defend.I can only watch Kidd, who weighs 93 kilograms, hit Atkins, who is in his early 70 kilograms.

The tonnage gap between the two was too great, and Atkins couldn't hold back even with all his strength, and was pushed towards the penalty area by Kidd step by step.At a position more than one meter away from the basket, Kidd turned over and made a jump shot decisively, avoiding being interfered by Da Ben who was helping to defend, and easily made a shot. 11 to 7.

Jason Kidd's scoring ability is not strong, but he still averaged 17 points per game last season.To be able to play such scoring data, Kidd relies on his weight advantage and three-point shooting after being emptied by the opponent.Facing a light-weight opponent like Atkins, Kidd has many ways to score, and he is not as hip as the fans imagined.

上个赛季效力太阳的贾森基德常规赛面对火箭也曾砍下过生涯新高的43分，那场比赛他出战46分钟，34投16中，三分球11中5，罚球8中6，砍下43分9篮板4助攻和4次抢断，得分创下了生涯新高。

Kidd has been getting stronger in the past two years. Although his scoring explosiveness is still not good, it is still very easy to eat Atkins, who weighs only a little over 70 kilograms.

The Pistons attacked, Stackhouse hit a pick-and-roll and made an emergency stop for a jumper, which missed under Wei Xu's interference.The rebound was grabbed by Van Horn and passed to Kidd.

Kidd immediately pushed forward after receiving the ball, and Kenyon Martin and Wei Xu made a fast break together, and directly played a "two-beast rush" scene.Kenyon Martin received the pass in a misplaced position. Big Ben's defensive ability is very strong, but in terms of mobility, Kenyon Martin can press him to the ground and rub him.

Michael Curry, who was retreating in the backcourt, saw Kenyon Martin rushing towards him, and was ready for a foul. As a result, Kenyon Martin passed the ball to Wei Xu on the other side.

Michael Curry was under a lot of pressure in the first defense and second defense in the frontcourt. In a very short period of time, the CPU of his brain was almost burned, and it was too late to foul.I can only watch with my own eyes that Wei Xu catches the ball and jumps up in one step, using a jump height close to the level of the basket to dunk the ball with one hand! 13 to 7.

"Roar!"

After landing, Wei Xu yelled at the Pistons bench, as if to express: No one can stop my dunk!
Pistons coach Carlisle decisively requested a timeout upon seeing this.

This guy went crazy today, so far, his personal score is higher than the entire Pistons! !
