Chapter 153 Take the opportunity to go crazy, 20+ in the half (4000, please subscribe)
The game is about to start. In the jump ball stage, Huo Song easily helped the Pistons get the ball for the first attack.
Next, Huo Song did not immediately cooperate with Billups in the pick-and-roll attack, but squatted inside for a while, letting other teammates play a few first.
After all, they have just won the championship ring, and the other four Pistons are the core of the championship team. They should also get some points, which is in line with their identities.
Huo Song is not worried about not being able to score, so he gave the opportunity to perform to other teammates first, especially for Daben, Huo Song had to feed him a few cakes no matter what.
The Pistons still chose to play inside in the first round. Billups forced Charlie Ward, went inside, and passed the ball to Huo Song.
Huo Song made a fake shot to attract Yao Ming's defensive attention, and then hit the ground and passed the ball to Big Ben.
Big Ben received the ball, without saying a word, immediately took off and dunked.
With such a simple cooperation at the basket, the Pistons took the lead in scoring the game.
But then, the outside offense showed a bit of hip stretching.
Even when Billups made some simple passes, he made a mistake and was intercepted.
Fortunately, the mosaic is not muddy enough to support the wall.
Last season, he still wanted to hit the playoffs, but because the team boss Francis was traded this summer, and McGrady was traded from the Magic, the entire team had to change.
Jr. Van Gundy is better at teaching defense, but the team management hopes that he can designate practical offensive tactics for McGrady and play offensive basketball for the whole team.
With the changes in personnel and the different opinions between the team management and the head coach, Mosaic's preseason record is also very average, with 3 wins and 4 losses.
If it is a mature team, it can be said that the new season can be done badly.
But the team has made a lot of adjustments, so we can still try to adjust the lineup and get back on our feet.
Now Mosaic is in the throes of the running-in period, and the five starters in the first quarter did not cooperate at all.
Although the defending champion team is full of energy, it wants to explode unexpectedly.
However, the Pistons' defense has relied on the training and games of the previous two seasons, and it has settled down a little bit. This can be said to be an instinctive reaction, and it is easy to limit Marx's outside singles.
In the first quarter, Huo Song made two shots and scored 4 points.
Perhaps it was Huo Song's steady scoring that helped the Pistons stabilize their home court.
18 to 21, after the first quarter, both teams scored around 20 points.
Both teams play defensive basketball, and this score is pretty normal.
But the problem is that the Pistons just won the championship not long ago. In the previous finals, they scored more than [-] points in almost every game. In the opening game of the new season, their scoring ability has declined?
Obviously, the Pistons players are not in shape.
Of course, Huo Song is not included here.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Huo Song didn't make any effort.
Huo Song made two shots in the first quarter, and these simple shots scored easily.
If Huo Song is given seven or eight possessions, what will be the result of the first quarter?
According to the previous finals, the Pistons had already led Mosaic by more than 10 points and entered the second quarter.
Then played an offensive with a 30-point lead in three quarters, completely turning the fourth quarter into garbage time.
"Maybe it's because of Yao Ming! Huo Song obviously didn't have the idea of massacring Mosaic."
"It's easy to win a game, but it's not easy to save face for your friends. Huo Song is not only saving face for Yao Ming, but also saving face for the other starters of the Pistons."
"You score as much as you want, and I'll take care of it! Huo Song is already trying to become the leader of a team!"
"I think so too. The Pistons' first attack could have been finished by Huo Song, but Huo Song still chose to pass the ball to Da Ben. And this happened more than once."
Pistons fans at the Palace of Auburn Hills looked at the small difference between the two teams. The Pistons did not have the momentum to defend the championship, but they were not worried.
Huo Song is a rookie, and Huo Song is also the MVP of the finals.
This means that as long as Huo Song is not injured, within the rookie contract, he will improve every day. Huo Song can perform better and have a stronger control over the game.
In the past, Huo Song was led by a group of experienced veterans to win the game, but now Huo Song has been able to save his strength and give other teammates the bottom line.
As long as the game falls into an unfavorable situation, Huo Song can stand up to solve the crisis immediately, and then take the game away.
Pistons fans with years or decades of experience watching games know what Huo Song is doing, and Huo Song is waiting.
When his teammates need him, the fans need him, and the team needs him, he will definitely stand up as soon as possible.
Huo Song played the entire first quarter, but didn't play immediately in the second quarter.
At this time, Byron Scott was obviously a little anxious.
As the head coach of the team, Byron Scott knew that the Pistons started five players before, and most of them had some problems.
A lot of turnovers should not be made, and the starters put the ball in the basket to score, which is also their job.
This kind of most basic work can't be done well, it's hard not to make people suspect that this group of guys who just won the championship ring are absent-minded and out of shape when they play.
It is true that the championship ring is very fascinating, and people can't help but fall into the joy of winning the championship.
But the game has already started after all, and this is a game that is broadcast live across the United States.
As the head coach of the team, Byron Scott must urge the players to play this game well.
Fortunately, he had already wooed Huo Song before and got Huo Song's support.
Fortunately, Huo Song played well in this game and looked in good condition.
I just kept my energy for the time being, didn't rush to make a shot, failed to open the score, and ensured that the team was in the lead in scoring to follow the hearts of everyone in the team.
However, the old god Huo Song was sitting on the bench, and Byron Scott could only risk his life to accompany the gentleman, waiting for the moment when Huo Song fully fired.
After playing more than 5 minutes in the second quarter, with McGrady's three-pointer on horseback, the situation on the field was instantly reversed.
The Pistons were still in the lead before, and now they are suddenly behind by 1 point.
Although the one-point difference can be easily smoothed out, before the second quarter, the Pistons still had a 3-point lead, and the point difference was gradually narrowed and overtaken. This is a problem.
The defending champion can't even beat a fringe playoff team that is in the running-in period?
"This is Detroit, this is the Motown!
Some people just get the championship ring, they are so proud and carried away.
If this continues, is it necessary to completely forget Detroit's spirit of seeking truth and being pragmatic?
Big Ben, shall we go together?Let's bring three substitutes to crush Mosaic! "
On the surface, Huo Song was angry at the poor performance of his teammates on the court, and his lack of concentration in the game, allowing Mosaic to recover the point difference, making the opening game look terrible.
In fact, Huo Song had already planned to strive for some honors this season, and he had requirements for shooting rights and team status.
Huo Song was waiting for some people in the team to make mistakes, so he seized the opportunity and took the power in his own hands.
As for other teammates feeling disgusted, let them bear it first.
If you can't bear it, then trade them.
In terms of defending champions, the Pistons' championship team is indeed better.
But the civilian team doesn't really fail if it lacks someone.
On the contrary, as long as a similar quasi-All-Star player is traded, Huo Song has the confidence to lead the team to successfully defend the championship.
He even led the team to win three consecutive championships and established the Pistons Dynasty.
"Coach Byron, please let us play!" Big Ben didn't have much feeling for other teammates, and originally only wanted to play his own basketball well.
Da Ben is a quiet person, but he can feel the anger in Huo Song's heart.
Of course, Big Ben is also an ambitious person.
Big Ben's ambition is not within the team, but externally.
Big Ben wants to defeat every powerful opponent, stand on the stage of the finals again, smash all the enemies with his defense, and win the championship trophy again!
Only in this way will Da Ben feel that he is a truly upright man.
Instead of being kicked under the bed by my wife in the middle of the night, I can only run to the guest room to catch up on sleep.
Closer to home, Byron Scott was already anxious, waiting for Huo Song to make a move.
Now as he wished, Huo Song was already angry, and Huo Song also pulled Da Ben to stand in line together. Da Ben asked to play with Huo Song, which was exactly in Byron Scott's arms.
Byron Scott has always wanted to make an example of others and establish his authority in the locker room, but he has just arrived and cannot find such an opportunity.
Now that Huo Song's knife has been set up, he just doesn't know who will take the initiative to stand up and be the first soul to fall under the knife.
According to Huo Song's request, Byron Scott withdrew all five players from the field, and then sent three substitutes to play with Huo Song and Da Ben.
From the perspective of player strength and game configuration, this set of "three lineups" is definitely not as good as the "second lineup".
However, when the "three lineups" came on the field, the effect of the Pistons chasing points was immediate.
As soon as he entered the field, Huo Song received the ball in a low position, feinted a shot, turned his back and took a step back to make a mid-range shot. With a swipe, he scored two points and the score was reversed again.
It has to be said that opportunities are for those who are prepared.
This summer, the Pistons also have reinforcements, and most of the benches are veterans who have played in the league for about 8 years.
Not particularly old, not too young.
However, because Detroit, the motor city, has declined and the ball market is not very good, there are no veterans at the All-Star level for the time being.
However, a group of veterans who want to play and win the championship will play very hard when they get the chance to play, and then burst out with incredible energy.
With the good-quality outside defense provided by the substitute veteran, plus Huo Song and Daben forged a solid wall inside.
In the next three minutes or so, Mosaic scored 2 points only by McGrady's foul and free throws.
During these 3 minutes for the Pistons, Huo Song digested almost all the possessions by himself. Huo Song made 7 of 6 shots and 1 of 1 free throws.
Obviously Van Gundy has already called a timeout, and obviously the former best defensive player Dikembe Mutombo has also played, but Huo Song is still in the paint, showing bravery.
"Huo Song pushed Mutombo hard and scored the ball, which reminded me of the scene in the 01 Finals when O'Neal beat Mutombo hard."
"The young MVP of the finals, and the dying DPOY. Time brings hope, but it also brings despair!"
"Huo Song's scoring ability is too strong, as long as there is no top inside defense, Huo Song can score if he wants to.
Perhaps 40 points in a single quarter is impossible, but as long as Huo Song thinks, 20 points in a single quarter is not difficult.
30 points in a single quarter as long as the timing is right, there is a chance to do it. "
In more than 3 minutes, from 1 point behind to 12 points ahead, the mood of the Pistons fans at the scene was like riding a roller coaster. It was a ups and downs.
Now that Huo Song has firmly controlled the rhythm of the game, Pistons fans can laugh wantonly.
If Huo Song can score 3 points in more than 13 minutes, he can reproduce such a wonderful performance in the two quarters of the second half.
As long as Huo Song scores 10 points per quarter, Huo Song can bargain for around 40 points today alone.
According to the current defensive strength of the Pistons, Mosaic obviously does not have such a player or ability.
Maybe, after the game, Huo Song alone scored more points than Mosaic's five starters combined.
As the game time passed, Huo Song quickly scored another 4 points.
Obviously, the whole Marx team is paying attention to Huo Song, and Mosaic resorted to zone defense tactics to limit Huo Song's scoring, but Huo Song still can score if he wants to score.
More than six minutes into the second quarter, Huo Song made 10 of 8 shots and 1 of 1 free throws, scoring 17 points.
In addition to the 2 points scored on 2 of 4 shots in the first quarter, Huo Song had already scored 20+ amazing performances in the first half.
During the intermission, many Detroit fans did not go to the bathroom, but shouted "MVP" from their seats to cheer for Huo Song.
There are also fans wearing Pistons No. 24 jerseys and dancing in the aisle.
37 to 56, under the leadership of Huo Song, the Pistons led Mosaic by 19 points in only half a quarter.
It is worth mentioning that neither Yao Ming nor Tracy McGrady scored in double figures in the first half of Mosaic's leading star.
麦迪9投2中，三分3投1中，罚球5投4中拿下9分。
Because of an elbow injury, Yao Ming made 5 of 2 shots and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring only 6 points.
The combination of Yao and Mai consumes more ball rights than Huo Song, but the scoring efficiency is far inferior to Huo Song.
This is also the key to Mosaic's lagging behind.
As a star player, you should stand up when the team needs to score.
Just like Huo Song in this game, Huo Song used his own power to penetrate the inside of the mosaic.
Then attract the defense and create outside scoring opportunities for the other three substitutes.
Although they didn't score much, it is a good sign to be able to score.
As long as this state continues, Huo Song and Da Ben can easily win the game ahead of schedule after leading the team through the third quarter without the need for other main players to play.
"Coach, I'm resting!" Huo Song volunteered to start the third quarter.
Most of the other Piston players reacted and looked at Huo Song one by one.
Huo Song's desire to fight was very strong today, but he didn't show it in the first quarter, because he was patient and waiting for the opportunity.
In the second quarter, Huo Song seized the opportunity of the game being reversed, and now naturally he will not give up halfway.
21 points at halftime, 22 points at full time?
Huo Song naturally would not let this happen.
You need to earn points as early as possible. After playing the third quarter, Huo Song couldn't believe that he still scored less than 30 points.
If the hit rate is good, it must be scored 40+ within three quarters.
At that time, the other main players of the Pistons will probably have no idea.
In the era when the inside line was withered, a rising super giant center like Huo Song could play against most teams in the league so easily.
The Lakers have told everyone in the league about their championship offensive.
When a championship team has the best center superstar in the league, then as long as it is traded for an outside superstar, it can establish a dynasty.
The Pistons don't have many draft picks, but there are still quite a few quasi-All-Stars in their prime.
Two-for-one, three-for-one, or even four-for-one, with Huo Song as the basis, as long as the relatively young perimeter superstar is traded, even if the Pistons cannot defend the championship this season, they will still have a lot of money in the next few seasons. Chance to win again.
With Huo Song showing such a strong attitude, the rest of the Pistons were also quite nervous.
Except for Big Ben, the more core players are, the more they feel bad.
However, in today's game, it was McGrady who really felt bad, and it was Mosaic.
Mosaic traded McGrady, the scoring champion, also to hit the championship.
But in the face of the Pistons' strict defense, Kobe was able to score 30 points in the finals.
McGrady faced the Pistons in the regular season. When the Pistons' outside starters spent most of their time on the bench, Huo Song was fully fired during two consecutive quarters. He scored 40+ in three quarters and turned the game into garbage time. McGrady couldn't even get 20 points.
In this situation, McGrady is obviously unwilling to follow the other main players of the team and return to the bench on the sidelines.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, McGrady still played for a while, the team fell behind, and the leading star did not admit defeat, which is also a normal phenomenon.
No one thinks McGrady is scoring bad points, McGrady just wants to save the team.
As a result, McGrady scored 23 points with 21 shots.
After the opening game, the Pistons still won by 28 points.
