Smith said excitedly: "It's so beautiful. Jason defended the Pistons' inside players' attack twice in the first quarter. Ben Wallace played hard and Campbell cut. Billups has not scored yet. Jason is not just able to attack."

Barkley smiled and said, "It will be very soon to get garbage time again. It is not easy for Jason to get 50+10 today."

Smith said: "Some people predict that he will win more than 50+10 this season. This sounded like a fantasy in the past few seasons, but Jason really could do it. As long as he guarantees playing time, even a defensive team like the Pistons can't defend it."

When the Suns attacked, when Marion pulled out of the perimeter to run, Campbell tried hard to keep up. If he didn't follow, Marion could not only shoot mid-range shots, but also shoot three-pointers.

Guo Xu held the ball on the right side and looked at Xiao Si in the middle, and suddenly changed direction and accelerated past Big Ben. Billups couldn't catch up from behind, so Guo Xu easily entered the basketball.

20 to 4, the 13th point in the individual.

Not only was the Pistons players stunned, but the coach Larry Brown on the sidelines was also stunned, and was brought up the tragic memories of the 2001 Finals.

Under the premise that other Suns players have the ability to shoot, it is difficult for Guo Xu to defend himself with one pick-and-roll move. After the misalignment, he broke through too fast. When Brown saw him, he would think of Iverson, and it was a shooting enhancement version.

Iverson mainly relies on breakthroughs to play. Although he has super breakthrough ability, his opponents know how to deal with it, that is, to defend alone on the outside, double-team near the penalty area, and let others shoot.

It is much more difficult for the Pistons to double-team Guo Xu because he likes to attack outside the three-point line and the formation is completely opened. He attracts double-team one point after the Pistons' defense line, and there will definitely be loopholes in the Pistons' defense line.

Hamilton received the ball and made a shot. Da Ben grabbed the frontcourt rebound and was assigned to the right bottom line. Prince's open mid-range shot also missed.

Prince, who was second-year, was appreciated by Brown with his excellent wing defense, but he had little offensive effect, mainly relying on empty cuts on the bottom line, and his style was similar to Marion. His attack ability was slightly inferior. He was an outside blue-collar star in his previous life, and averaged less than 15 points per game in his peak season in his career.

In the Suns position battle, Guo Xu played pick-and-roll from the three-point line, attracting Campbell to change defense and then weaken the side. He dribbled with his right hand and turned his head to look in the middle, then suddenly accelerated and successfully passed.

He did not have complicated fake moves in several breakthroughs, but relied on changes in the dribbling rhythm. At this glance, he made Billups dare not let go of Sir to double-team, making Campbell worried that Sir would cut empty, thus creating a breakthrough opportunity.

Guo Xu entered the basket from the right and made a three-step basketball goal. 22 to 4, with a 15th point.

Larry Brown was forced to request a timeout again. Just 6 minutes later, the Pistons could not attack and could not defend themselves.

When Guo Xu left the court, he slapped his teammates to celebrate. Haslem handed him a towel and Howard handed him water.

After the game was like this, Guo Xu wanted to let go and found that he overestimated the Pistons. Without Rashid Wallace, the Pistons were another team. The defense was flawed at the No. 4 position and the offense was even more inconsistent.

Hamilton averaged 19.7 points per game last season because of Clifford Robinson as his partner, and Robinson's shooting range reached outside the three-point line. In addition, Rick Carlisle will arrange three-point tactics as a coach, and his teammates will pull out the outside to help Hamilton create opportunities.

The Pistons averaged 18.1 three-pointers per game last season. As soon as Brown came, the data dropped to 11 times. Everyone gathered near the penalty area and was playing a non-ball run. Even if Hamilton got rid of Bale, he would be disturbed by the wings nearby.

Guo Xu felt that if the Pistons could not trade in Rashid in the mid-term, even this ragged attack power might not pass the first round, because Brown did not like to use Oku, and it would be too easy to defend against the two blue-collar insiders playing together.

Smith said: "The Pistons grind the position and the way to reduce the number of rounds cannot defend against Jason, but it only makes the team's offense worse. They have no good chance of making mobile phones, and the five Suns players have all been defensively placed."

Barkley smiled and said, "The Grizzlies won the Suns before because the two big guys had opened up space. The Pistons' inside players pulled out would only cause the defender to be double-teamed. I think Campbell shouldn't play in this game, otherwise Jason would score more than 60 points, and he would not be able to defend himself with one move."

Guo Xu has practiced "Worshiping Buddha" into a unique trick in recent years, and the frequency of use is far beyond the change of direction under the crotch. On the basketball court, this trick is described in English as "fakehesitation" and also as "hesitation".

Guo Xu's "Worship" mainly has two main options. One is to rely on solid basic dribbling skills, stop the ball control quickly, pretend to hesitate to do shooting, pass and other actions to lure the defensive players to increase their center of gravity, reduce the range of defensive breakthroughs, and then immediately lower the center of gravity to accelerate the dribbling and break through the defense.

The second is to pull the center of gravity, that is, he switches the center of gravity of both feet when stopping the ball, and pulls the defensive player's center of gravity forward or upward, making the defensive player's movements awkward and cannot quickly move sideways to block the breakthrough route.

Even if the cover of his teammates is not very successful, Guo Xu can still break through. He often makes fake faxes after pick-and-roll, and is becoming more and more good at leveraging his speed advantages.

After the timeout, both sides made substitutions. Campbell, the Pistons' inside player, came off the field and replaced Oku. Even though Big Ben is good at defending pick-and-roll, this substitution doesn't seem to be very useful on the defensive end, because the Suns are a small ball tactic.

Oku was born in Yalova, Turkey on May 26, 1979. He was selected by the Pistons in the 2001 NBA draft with the ninth pick in the second round. Because he had a contract, he joined the NBA in 2002.

He is 211cm tall and weighs 113 kilograms. He can not only use a meat shield to defend the penalty area on the defensive end, but also open up space with his teammates to play pick-and-roll and catch and shoot. Occasionally, he can also rely on his height and weight to fight against his opponents at low positions.

It is obvious that Oku is an excellent center who can be inside and outside. He is at the peak of his body at the age of 24 this year. However, you can tell that he is not fast, and his weight is bigger than Campbell. Can this guy defend Marion on the court?

Brown changed his defensive tactics to joint defense. Billups from the outside was the main defense of Guo Xu, and the other four were responsible for the area. Oku's job was to guard the penalty area, protect the rebound, pull out the offensive end to cover, catch the ball and shoot, and help his teammates create opportunities.

Collis Williams is a forward with super mobile power. He can strengthen his pick-and-roll defense by playing the No. 4 position when he plays on the court, but he still sits off the court. Brown doesn't like letting him play power forward.

Brown also did not admit what Guo Xu said, "If you can't defend against the pick-and-roll well, you can't defend against the sun." He is a paranoid person and will continue to persevere even if his ideas are wrong.

On the Suns, D'Antoni sent Haslem to replace Marion. This was to strengthen the defense and make the team's offense stronger in the second quarter.

Before the game, the Suns coaching staff analyzed the Pistons' lineup in detail and formulated a response plan.

Assistant coach Larry Drew believes that if Oku has certain scoring ability, Marion will struggle to defend himself. If Marion matches Da Ben and is easily prevented when counterattacking, he might as well go on a good rest and come back to take the bench in the second quarter.

Haslem is an orthodox inside player, with a strong style of playing. He can not only defend against pick-and-roll, but also withstand the empty cut in the low post. He can also open the offensive end, and his mid-range shot is not worse than Marion.

When the Suns staff behind the Pistons player's seat saw Brown calling Oku to talk about tactics, he sent a text message to D'Antoni. Although he couldn't hear what he was saying, he could see the other party's intention to substitute.
