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

Chapter 24 24. The strongest performance ever played by a second-round pick in the opener?
Charles Barkley sighed: "Another assist from Kidd, the two have completed several fast-break cooperation tonight. Although it is the first time to cooperate, the tacit understanding is not inferior to the partners who have cooperated for many years. The illusion that the two have worked together for many years."

Kenny Smith said: "The media said that the rookie with the best physical fitness this year was Jason Richardson from Michigan State University, but now it seems that Richardson is obviously overestimated. In other words, it is Wei Xu Underrated, he's significantly more athletic than Richardson, and he's an impeccable watcher."

Charles Barkley said with a smile: "The two have played against each other in this year's summer league. In that game, Wei Xu easily blasted Richardson. But I heard that Richardson was very unconvinced after the game and threatened in front of the media. Will find his way back in the regular season. I wonder if Richardson, after watching the opener, will regret what he said before."

The game continued, and Stackhouse became anxious when he saw Wei Xu's astonishing performance. On the offensive end, he demanded the ball strongly, and the horns held the ball for individual singles.

Under Wei Xu's sticky candy-style close defense, he forced his way into the inside line, found an opportunity to make a shot in the cracks, and turned around and scored a jumper from close range. 19 to 13.

Stackhouse's personal ability is still very strong, and Wei Xu has successfully limited his offensive efficiency tonight.But no matter how tough the defense is, it is impossible for him to hit the iron infinitely. In this round, Stackhouse hit the first sports goal of the night from his head.

The Nets attacked, Wei Xu received the ball through a running position, and Michael Curry teamed up with Stackhouse to attack decisively.His touch is too hot tonight, and Carlisle would rather let other Nets players take shots than see Wei Xu score again.

It would be embarrassing to double-team a rookie in the season opener, but Carlisle has no choice but to do whatever it takes to win the game.

Wei Xu feigned the ball, and after a dribble, he transferred the ball to Kidders on the outside in a small range.Facing double-teams and not making strong shots is Byron Scott's bottom line for him. He is not a star yet, so it is best to do less of these things that hurt the team for the sake of statistics.

Kidders received the ball at a 45-degree angle on the right side, and when he was open, he raised his hand and dropped it. The three-pointer shot steadily through the net bag. 22 to 13.

Kiedles' shooting action is very weird, from receiving the ball to shooting, the whole action is crooked.Many fans like to call him "digging a machine gun". Although his movements are ugly, he is really accurate. Last season, he shot 40% of his three-pointers.He is the player with the most accurate shooting in the Nets' lineup on paper.

When returning to the defense, Kidders and Wei Xu clapped their hands.Strictly speaking, the two are competitors in the same position, but because of their different playing styles, there is no conflict in the tactical system.So the relationship between the two was quite pleasant, and there was not too much trouble.

The Pistons attacked. Atkins passed the ball to Robinson and pulled it aside. Robinson broke through with the ball and was double-teamed. The ball was given to Stackhouse at 60 degrees on the left. Transferred to Ben Wallace at the basket.Mark Rock went out to help defend but didn't shrink back. Da Ben had an open opportunity to wipe the board at the basket and scored two points. 22 to 15.

Standing off the court, Byron Scott frowned slightly.This is why he doesn't like to use heavy insiders as the starting center. He is bulky and slow to move laterally, and it is difficult to retract when assisting defense.If the ball was replaced by Kenyon Martin, he would have returned to his defensive position long before Stackhouse passed the ball in, and it would be impossible for Ben Wallace to score under the basket.

It's a pity that Kenyon Martin's form tonight is too bad, and he has two fouls on his back, so it will be difficult to return to the court for a while.

The Nets attacked, and Kidd broke through to attract the inside defense to pass the ball to the right horn. Wei Xu threw off the defender at the same time and came out to catch the ball. The horn on the right made a decisive shot and made an open shot steadily.

"Shh!"

24:15.

Michael Curry was blocked by Mark Rocky's thick body again, too much strength is not a good thing, he always wanted to hit head-to-head when going around the cover, and his lateral movement speed was obviously at a disadvantage.

No one interfered with Wei Xu's shot this time, and he raised the knife in the middle distance, as easily as in the training game.

On the Nets bench, the players stood up and cheered loudly.Wei Xu's performance tonight was astonishing. If the Nets can win the game, he will definitely be the team's number one hero.

The commentator Kenny Smith said excitedly: "Wei Xu felt too hot tonight. He hasn't missed a shot so far in the game. This kind of efficiency is terrifying. Even if Michael Jordan at his peak came, it might not To be able to play like this at his age!"

Charles Barkley said: "Way's offense is rich. In addition to not hitting a three-pointer tonight, he scored points on both sides of the free throw line and in the penalty area. Michael Curry was stunned by his cunning movement. , and the Nets took the initiative to pull out the inside line for off-ball screens, he did seize the shooting opportunity tonight."

Kenny Smith said: "Couldn't Coach Carlisle call a timeout to arrange it? Michael Curry was completely blown up. I think he can send someone else to defend."

Charles Barkley said: "Stackhouse's height is not much different from Wei Xu, and he has a weight advantage against Wei Xu. Maybe Coach Carlisle can let him try, it's better than watching Michael Curry being completely abused. "

The Pistons attacked, Robinson and Atkins made a pick-and-roll and cut down, and Kidders emptied Michael Curry to double-team in the low post.Robinson was double-teamed and split the ball. Michael Curry hit a three-pointer with a jumper from the left, and the rebound was protected by Mark Lodge.

Mark Lodge, who is 2 meters tall, moves slowly and is very clumsy, but his rebounding efficiency is not bad, and his ability to guard the basket is also very good. He is not so disadvantaged against Da Ben.In his peak season, Mark Lodge also averaged 13 points, 10 rebounds and 6 blocks per game. Before the advent of the small ball era, there was still a market.

The Nets attacked, Wei Xu was strictly guarded and couldn't catch the ball, Kidd and Van Horn played a pick-and-roll in the middle, and went left to break through with the ball.The Pistons did not choose to double-team this round. Kidd looked at the six-way road, pushed all the way horizontally with his weight advantage, squeezed into the basket and hit the basket against Atkins' defense. 26 to 15.

Atkins' figure is too thin, and his weight of 70 kilograms is not enough to fight against the tough NBA. Even if he puts it on the field, he has no advantage against it.Facing Kidd who weighs 93 kilograms, Atkins could only interfere with small movements, and couldn't stand him at all.

Kidd is very good at bullying defenders who are lighter than himself. He doesn't need fancy skills, he directly pushes against the body, and uses the most extreme strength to complete the crushing.

The Pistons attack, Robinson is double-teamed and passes the ball outside, and Atkins passes to Stackhouse.Stackhouse chose to back Wei Xu this time, wanting to use his weight advantage to score.

However, he was 7 kg heavier than Wei Xu, but he couldn't push Wei Xu with his back. He failed to grab the position 4 times in a row, which was a bit embarrassing.Wei Xufang is very experienced in turning his back. He lowered the center of gravity of his body and placed an iron elbow on Stackhouse's waist to prevent him from suddenly turning around and passing him.

Stackhouse couldn't break through without moving Wei Xu with his back, so he could only forcefully turn to the right and turn over for a jumper.As a result, Wei Xu stretched out his hand to interfere, the ball bounced out of the frame, and Jason Kidd grabbed the backcourt rebound.

Coming to the frontcourt, Kidd and Van Horn played a pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, and after drawing the help defense from the left, the ball was given to the bottom corner. House picked it up.

Kidders' touch tonight was mediocre. After he missed the shot, he shook his hand angrily, wasting this opportunity in vain.

Stackhouse dribbled the ball across half court and played a pick-and-roll with Robinson, took it to the left and passed it to Atkins who was running on the weak side.The latter received the ball decisively and took a step back to widen the distance, facing Jason Kidd's defense and hitting a three-pointer. 26 to 18.

Atkins is very light and his defensive efficiency is ridiculously poor, but the reason why he can become the team's starter is that he has good offensive firepower.As a second-year rookie last season, he averaged 12 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists per game, and made 36% of his three-pointers, showing a good offensive talent.

Jason Kidd's defense was in place this round, and he almost threw an American kiss on him, but he still created a shooting opportunity by stepping back, which is a manifestation of his personal ability.

In positional warfare, Michael Curry's constant closeness made it difficult for Wei Xu to catch the ball.This is Curry's last chance to perform. Knowing that he can't guard against Wei Xu, he must go all out to let the coaching staff see his hard work.As the saying goes, there is hard work without credit. It is not his fault that he can't defend Wei Xu, but if he doesn't work hard in defense, it is his problem.

Wei Xu's repeated pulls on the perimeter created a good offensive environment for his teammates. Kidd ate Atkins one-on-one, missed his left-handed throw while moving, and Ben Wallace grabbed the rebound.Atkins couldn't withstand Kidd's strength, but Kidd himself was not a good scorer.

The Pistons were attacking, and Stackhouse wanted the ball strongly for singles, but he had a weight advantage but couldn't get past Wei Xu, let alone speed, so he had to try his luck on the outside and make a jumper.Seeing that the offensive time is getting less and less, Stackhouse, who is not convinced, has completely exposed his cancerous attributes. He sticks a lot of balls in his hands and does not pass them. Facing Wei Xu's defense, he turns around and hits the jumper. Tonight's shooting percentage is still low. Less than 25%.

Under the basket, Mark Lodge and Ben Wallace started a fierce battle for a position. Wei Xu suddenly jumped out when the two confronted each other, jumped up and took off the backcourt rebound.Big Ben's strength can be ranked in the top five in the league. Without Mark Rocky's desperate position, Wei Xu will definitely not be able to steal rebounds from him.But once Daben is entangled in the penalty area, Wei Xu's bullet speed can play a role, and before he reacts, he can take the rebound in advance.

The Nets were attacking, and Wei Xu continued to be strictly guarded by his opponents off the ball.Kidd passed the ball to him, and Michael Curry and Robinson came up decisively to double-team. He wanted to pass the ball to Van Horn who was in an open opportunity, but he was limited by the passing vision and could not find the position in time. Can pass the ball back to Kidd who stepped forward to respond.

Kidd hit the pick-and-roll and broke through from the right, attracting the Pistons players to assist in the defense and transfer the ball to Kidders in a wide range.The latter missed a three-pointer with a corner jumper, and missed two consecutive three-pointers from the same position.

Robinson grabs a backcourt rebound, tries to pass to Atkins and finds him entangled by Kidd.As a result, Robinson turned his head to look for Stackhouse too clearly. Wei Xu, who knew it well, suddenly started on the right side, saw the opportunity and sped out, reaching out in front of Stackhouse and successfully stealing the ball.

After stealing the ball, Wei Xu took advantage of the situation to pull the ball up, and Robinson hurriedly blocked his breakthrough route, fearing that he would dunk again.Wei Xu took three steps to the basket, and when his body immediately collided with Robinson, he suddenly passed the ball to Mark Lodge who followed up on the weak side.Mark Lodge caught the ball and scored an easy dunk, and it was too late for Robinson to turn around. 28 to 18.

This is Wei Xu's second assist in this game. He can shoot and pass, and his performance is very comprehensive.

He feels that the regular season is not as scary as he imagined. Although the opponent's strength has become stronger, the teammates around him are also very strong.As long as he plays at his own pace, he can still perform well.

The Pistons attacked, Stackhouse got rid of Wei Xu's pursuit with a screen, and hit a jumper from outside the three-point line. 28 to 21.

The ball really wasn't Wei Xu's fault. Ben Wallace's cover was dirty, and his jersey was hanging on his hand, which prevented him from getting around in time, so he was easily hit by Stackhouse.

In the next round, Wei Xu retaliated against him in his own way. When running, he pushed Stackhouse, who came forward to help defend, and used Mark Rocky's body as a human wall to block Curry. After chasing and defending, the left horn position made an elegant shot and made a tough response to the Pistons. 30 to 21.

At the end of the first quarter, the Pistons had the last chance to attack. The players all opened up and handed the ball to Stackhouse for a single.At the last moment, Stackhouse's face-to-face attack encountered Wei Xu's close-fitting, and he had no choice but to pass the ball to Atkins on the right, who made a mid-range jumper against the defense. 30 to 23.

This ball is purely personal ability, Kidd did not lose his position defensively, but Atkins still forcibly scored.This is a guard who can securely start in the NBA. Even if he has obvious disadvantages on the court, he can still help the team in other ways.

After the first quarter of the game, the Nets in the away game led the Pistons by 7 points.Wei Xu was in a hot state in the first quarter, scoring 8 points on 7 of 14 shots, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. His performance was very comprehensive.

Charles Barkley sighed: "Wei Xu's performance tonight is very much like a long-established star. His maturity and stability on the court are not like a rookie at all. I am surprised by his performance. The best performance I've ever seen a second-round pick put on in an opener."

Kenny Smith said with a smile: "Wei Xu hasn't shot a three-pointer today. I remember he shot a three-pointer in the summer league. I don't know what he thought of it today. The points are all in the restricted area and mid-range. Position. Wei Xu is so strong in this state, if he throws a three-pointer, how terrible will Wei's performance be?"

Wei Xu never thought that he could play this kind of performance in the opening game of the regular season. He just calmed down and played like usual training.What he does on the court is still what he is good at. Everything is so magical, as if the goddess of luck is standing behind him tonight.

Pistons players are not familiar with Wei Xu's playing style. It is not to blame for Michael Curry's defensive failure. No matter who encounters Wei Xu's freak suddenly, it is estimated that they will be confused for the first time.Wei Xu's appearance is deceptive. Who would have thought that this white and clean guy in front of him is not a skilled player, but an out-and-out dunker?

In the second quarter, Wei Xu was replaced for a rest. The five players of the Nets were Armstrong, Harris, Kidders, Kenyon Martin, and Jason Collins.

Both Kiddels and Kenyon Martin took a break in the first quarter, and came on the bench in the first half of the second quarter.Especially Martin, he rested in the first half of the first quarter, which will be full of energy and not feel tired at all.

The Nets had a good lineup in the second quarter. After preseason adjustments, Byron Scott has found a way to balance the offense with two lineups.

However, what is unexpected is that the Nets not only failed to gain the upper hand in the second quarter, but were instead hit by the Pistons led by Jumbari.With Barry rushing to shoot outside the three-point line, the Pistons took the lead for the first time tonight.

Kenyon Martin's performance tonight was so bad, he was absent-minded after playing.He made two low-level mistakes, an alley-oop drop, and an air cut to catch the ball and hit his foot. An angry Scott stood on the sidelines and jumped straight, gnashing his teeth and roaring.

Byron Scott felt very helpless, what about the two beasts that had been agreed?
Why did the opening game still hibernate? ?

The best performer on the Pistons bench was Joan Barry, the No. 92 pick in the first round of 17, followed by Damon Jones, the undrafted pick in 98.Tonight, he hit two three-pointers from the outside, blasting Armstrong who was facing him, and provided fire support for the Pistons outside.

The Nets had almost no breaking point in the second quarter, and Kidders, the starting second position, could only play singles with the ball.After Harris was injured, his state was not as good as before. He missed two three-point shots with two open opportunities and missed the opportunity to expand his advantage.

The most frustrating thing is that Kenyon Martin not only sleepwalked in offense today, but also made frequent mistakes in defense.Missing players after pick-and-rolls, fouls when assisting defense, misplaced calls, etc.
None of this seems to be a problem with the star, but these low-level mistakes all appeared on Kenyon Martin tonight, which almost didn't piss Byron Scott to death.

Until Jonbarry's fast-break counterattack assisted the Pistons' substitute power forward Williams to dunk, Byron Scott couldn't bear it completely and decisively requested a timeout.

Taking advantage of this timeout, Scott replaced Armstrong and Harris, brought Kidd and Wei Xu back on the field, and by the way personally cooked a pot of chicken soup for Wei Xu. "Wei, go all out after playing, play like the first quarter, the team needs someone to stand up and score now, your physical fitness is very good, I believe you will not let me down"

Byron Scott made the opening starter, and all but Keith Van Horn returned to the field.

Charles Barkley said: "Kenyon Martin played very badly today. I don't know why Byron Scott kept him on the court. Let's see, this time Wei Xu reappeared. I am looking forward to his performance and looking forward to his performance. Dominance like in the first quarter."

Kenny Smith said: "The Pistons also replaced Big Ben and Stackhouse, and Jon Barry still stayed on the court. This is to try to make Barry face Wei Xu? I don't know how the Nets will play. He and Barry one-on-one? Both of them are very hot tonight, which is indeed something to watch."

Big Ben replaced Rebrascia, and Collis Williams continued to play.Carlisle felt that this guy played very hard tonight, and he did a good job of attacking the penalty area just now, so he can continue to stay on the court.

在冲击禁区这方面威廉姆斯的确很出色，他是1995年的首轮13号秀，巅峰赛季场均可以砍下18分5篮板3助攻和1次抢断。这两年因为伤病状态下滑，但上个赛季依旧交出了场均11分5篮板的表现，是活塞替补席上的内线攻坚手。

Wei Xu was very impressed with this product, because Williams helped the University of Arkansas to a record of 31 wins and 3 losses in college, and defeated Duke University in the final to win the NCAA championship that year, and Williams Also voted the best player of the tournament.

Wei Xu is a fan of Duke University. He was almost blown away by Williams when he sat in front of the TV that year. Tonight, he has the opportunity to compete with him on the spot.
