Standing pretty old

Chapter 523 The phoenix that fluffs is not as good as a chicken

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Eagles really went crazy on the offensive end.

The claw machine passed the ball from the outside to Jon Jonson, Jon Jonson made an outside shot and missed, but Birdman Anderson quickly grabbed the offensive rebound and passed it to Salmons.

Salmons made a false shot and made a direct three-pointer against Hamilton and hit it!
This was just the beginning of the Eagles' three-point attack wave, and then Salmon was unreasonable, and hit two consecutive three-pointers on the head of the Masked Man, which opened the score between the two teams in just one minute.

Woodson has never liked to express his opinions on offense, and for the first time tonight, he stood up and directed the Hawks' offense.

Er Niu smiled and said to Bibi beside him, "Is the wooden man going to transform?"

Three minutes after the start of the second quarter, the Hawks gradually sent all their main players to play, while the Pistons were still the same. Michael Curry is a coach who doesn't know what rotation is.
The starting lineup was used to death, and when Ruan Erniu returned to the field, he found that Rasheed Wallace was still on the field. After all, Tianzun was a veteran born in 74. He was expected to only rest for 5-6 minutes a game Less than the time, it is a bit inhumane.

However, Erniu also did not make a difference on the offensive end in this quarter, but had a good time in the backcourt rebounding. Of course, on the defensive end, Erniu did not mean to relax. * Iverson sent a big hat, which can explain the problem.

The reason why Er Niu can't do anything offensively is because Mike Bibby, the white devil, suddenly went berserk.

Of course Bibby couldn't handle Iverson's breakthrough, but Iverson couldn't prevent Bibby's shooting either.

If we talk about the first quarter of the game, AI can still score points by virtue of the lack of concentration of the Eagles on the defensive end after the opening. In that quarter, after the strength of the Eagles' frame protection increased, Iverson's threat immediately dropped rapidly. At the same time, Bibby found his touch on the perimeter.

Bibby held the ball across the half court, Ruan Erniu and Yue Eclipse stepped up to screen at the same time, Bibby gained a lot of shooting space with the help of Erniu's screen, without any hesitation, he immediately made a hit from outside the three-point line !
No one thought that this was actually the prologue of the White Devil's Hell Burial Song.

On the offensive end of the Pistons, Hamilton missed a mid-range shot. Er Niu took the backcourt rebound and immediately passed it to the frontcourt. Instead of forcing a shot, he passed a smooth pass to the ground, and the ball reached Bibby's hands again...

"brush!"

With his smooth shots, Iverson couldn't even retreat in time at least, watching Bibby make a chasing three-pointer.

However, the climax has just arrived. Bibby successfully judged the ball path, cut off Stucky's pass, and went straight to the frontcourt. Facing the AI, he made another emergency stop shot from the outside line and hit it again!
The third three-pointer is up!
On the offensive end of the Eagles, Ruan Erniu drew a double-team from the bottom line and passed the ball to Salmons, Salmon passed to Jiongsen, and Jiongsen passed to Bibby...

"brush!"

Another three-pointer facing people!
Bibby went crazy!
"Snapped!"

Lunar Eclipse intercepted Prince's pass in the backcourt, dribbled the ball directly across the half court, and missed a mid-range shot!
But Ruan Erniu, who came in from the back, took the offensive rebound over Rasheed Wallace's head. Due to his high speed, Erniu flew directly to the baseline. At the moment when the whole person crossed the baseline , Er Niu looked back at the moon, and the ball was passed to Bibby outside the three-point line again.

Bibby made a big stride. This time the AI ​​defended very hard. After all, everyone wants to be treated as a cash machine, but Bibby also played very flamboyantly. A beautiful behind-the-back pull ball shook Iverson away. After that, he immediately retreated and pulled back, two steps away from the three-point line, and shot directly!

The basketball flew all the way along a high parabola, and finally plunged into the net, causing waves.

The fifth personal three-pointer, the eighth three-pointer of the Eagles in this quarter!
"beep!"

TIME-OUT!

The game has been stopped!

The old man is talking about being a teenager, of course, Bibby can't think about it like in the past. He averaged 20+ points per game this season. His data has further declined this season, and his breakthrough ability is close to nothing. With enough defensive experience, he can still have a place in the Hawks, and he can still play such a top scorer's burst mode from time to time.

This season, Bibby's big contract is about to expire. He has publicly stated in the media that he wants to die in Atlanta.

This is a clear signal that even if the Hawks can only give him a mid-level job next year, it is estimated that Bibby will be happy to sign his name.

After all, it is impossible for him to win the championship as a team leader, but being able to contribute to this Eagles team and win a few more rings is another kind of professional status for this veteran. promote.

"Oh, my-goodness! Mike Bibby! He hit 5 three-pointers in a single quarter, plus 1 three-pointer in the first quarter of the game, he has already hit level 6 three-pointers in the half, hey, NBA What is the record for three-pointers made in a single game? 12 times! Bibby should continue to shoot three-pointers in the last two quarters." Bob Rathburn said excitedly in the commentary.

Wilkins also praised: "Although this is not an easy record to break, MB should work hard. He has the strength."

However, in the game after the second quarter, Bibby was not obsessed with outside shots. In the end, he made 6 of 5 shots in a single quarter, 5 of 5 three-pointers, scored 15 points, 2 rebounds, and 1 assist.

At 16:35, the Eagles opened up the score gap in one fell swoop by relying on the crazy performances of Bibby and Salmons in the first and third positions.

The second half of the game started quickly, even though Woodson, Ruan Erniu and Jiong Jisen were in the locker room, they all expressed their willingness to open up space for Bibby and give him a chance to score three points.

But the White Devil still rejected the proposal. As a veteran, Bibby has long since lost such obsession with statistics. In his opinion, the championship is more important than other things. A mere single-game three-pointer record, It's not that important.

The Pistons finally made a change in the second half of the game. They also seemed to find that it was unrealistic to put three defensive loopholes on the court and still think about winning a strong team like the Eagles.

So they replaced Stuckey with Amir Johnson, returning Prince and Hamilton to familiar positions.

This change had a great effect. Although the starting lineup still failed to get a bargain in front of the Eagles, Stuckey, who returned to the bench, was activated instantly after returning to the court, shooting 5 of 5 in a single quarter. Among them, he made 1 of 1 three-pointers and 1 of 1 free throws, scoring 12 points.

However, Ruan Erniu can always stand up at critical moments and score consecutive points at critical moments. In just a few rounds, he extinguished the momentum of the Pistons' counterattack.

Most of the fourth quarter has become garbage time, and Ruan Erniu sat down early.

Through the observation of the whole field, he found that Iverson not only overlaps with Stuckey, but also coincides with Hamilton.

Regardless of the price the Pistons paid for getting AI, if this continues, the four-time league scoring champion who has completely destroyed the Pistons' chemistry may not have any good results.

Character determines destiny!

There are not a few audiences in the United States and China who "Zhong Ai's life", but judging from Iverson's style of play, the only team that is suitable for him as the core is the former 76ers team.

78:126, a 48-point massacre, the Hawks ushered in their own six-game winning streak at home.

A fluffy Phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken. The Detroit Pistons, the former powerhouse in the Eastern Conference, will soon enter a thorough rebuilding process. If they want to stand up again, I am afraid it will not be possible in one or two seasons.

After the game, Erniu UCLA's old captain, Aaron Afflalo also complained to Erniu: "I have no chance at all in the Pistons."

Ruan Erniu hugged him and said, "Aaron, don't complain, maybe next season will usher in a turning point? The Pistons will definitely enter the reconstruction process, and you will definitely wait for the opportunity."
