The Pistons' targeting the Spurs was extremely clever. As the general who led the entire team, Kidd fell into positional battles but became the opponent's empty spot.

There are only three ways to crack this game. The first one is the simplest, Kidd is fighting for the best and hit the open ball.

Although the method is simple, it tests the feel. Fighting against a team like the Pistons, which has a flying counterattack, the number of opportunities missing means how many counterattacks are given to the opponent, and the Spurs are unwilling to take risks.

But the Spurs still gave Kidd a chance. After the first quarter, Kidd made 0 of 4 shots from outside, helping the Pistons make three counterattacks, which is definitely the best sixth man in the first quarter.

34 to 26

At the end of the first quarter, the Spurs were 8 points behind the Pistons.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Spurs adopted the second method.

The second way is to replace Kidd and cool it down and replace other defenders to play.

The guard who replaced Kidd was 38-year-old veteran Terry Porter. The veteran debuted in the mid-1980s, in the golden age of the NBA. In that era when three-pointers were not particular about shooting, Porter had been practicing shooting hard, and his three-point shooting percentage increased year by year. Now, he only relied on three-pointers to score, and he had to practice three-pointers with a shooting percentage of 41.5%, which was enough to make Kidd feel ashamed.

Porter faced Watson on the court, and the Pistons set up a joint defense lineup.

The experienced veteran knew how to deal with this defense that was once forbidden by the NBA. He called the team's No. 1 pick to the free throw line and passed the ball to him.

This is the third way to crack joint defense.

If the passer is Kidd, the defender will immediately go over and restrain Gasol, but Porter's three-point shooting percentage makes Watson difficult to move.

Gasol made a jump shot from the free throw line.

28 to 34

"When we were playing this set, you were still watching "Rocky" at home." Porter smiled at UCLa's top student.

Watson frowned, he hated that boring series.

Joint defense is disintegrating.

The key to disintegrating the joint defense is to make open three-pointers and hit jumpers from the inside to the free throw line.

The Spurs have found a way, while the Pistons have another style of play with Watson, Reed, Ginobili, Jerome Williams and Curry as the second team.

Why does the Pistons call themselves a special Princeton? Not only because they don’t stick to the rules and put the outside line as the core of Princeton, but also because their second team basically does not play Princeton.

Jerome and Reed were brought by two big brothers, and Watson, the engine produced by UCL, and the Pistons' outside line immediately hit the Spurs.

Ginobili ran out of the baseline, started and shot three-pointers at the defender who was not yet in place.

It really has a unique flavor to watch Ginobili wear a Piston jersey and kill the Spurs.

Unfortunately, this is a bad taste that only time travelers can enjoy.

Ginobili is just another masterpiece of the Pistons.

Next is the newcomer showdown.

When Gasol met Curry, Espanyol became more mature. He seduced the ball with one hand and wanted to lure his opponent to make a move first. Curry stood firmly, so Espanyol had to take the initiative to attack.

The template before Gasol's draft was David Robinson. Lakers fans who were used to seeing the soft Gasol during the Lakers era would probably find it difficult to associate these two people together.

But before Gasol lost his explosive power due to injury, he was an admiral with better hands and weakened physical fitness.

He is also a seven-foot-long man with a 230-centimeter arm span. The Spaniard's skills are much more mature than Curry. He swept the little shark with fake moves and scored again with one hand looking back at the moon.

"This top scorer is real!"

"Yes, he's so mature that he can't believe he's a rookie."

Curry didn't like to be obedient, so he secretly glanced at Mo Mengchen and Hill off the field.

They were chatting, and Mo Mengchen said in a voice that even Curry could hear on the field: "If we had gritted our teeth and traded with the Spurs, we wouldn't have so many worries now."

Hill is not as loud as Mo Mengchen, but he is of noble origin and usually speaks with a tone. He wishes that those who cannot hear the sound can only judge the content through their lips can read what he says.

i      agree.(I agree)

Hill said this.

Curry deciphered it in full through his lip shape. He ran to the frontcourt angrily, staring at Gasol tightly, and took the ball from the outside.

The Spanish defended forward with a bohemian smile on his face, as if mocking Curry's nameless fire.

At this time, Reed noticed that no one of the Spurs filled the space for Espanyol to leave, called cover, and turned around and cut into it.

The moment Reed set off, Curry threw the ball into the high position and successfully passed the ball to the destination. Reed took the ball at the basket, made a layup with his backhand, and hit it again.

30 to 37

"This pass is beautiful, Eddie Curry has a skilled hand."

Ranbir and Johnson praised Gasol, but were relieved to see Curry responding.

"He gradually grew into a qualified Princeton center," Hill said.

"Does our expectations of him only meet the requirements?" Mo Mengchen asked back.

If we look at it from Princeton's standards, what is Divac's level? It can be called excellent, right? But did he lead the team to win the championship?

Qualification or even excellent is not enough.

Hill has become accustomed to the perverted high standards and high requirements around him who is strict with himself and others. He has said nothing now and just continues to watch the battle.

At this time, another Spurs began to exert force.

Stromayer Swift, with superstars below his neck and kindergarten children above his neck. He only has a basket in his eyes. Every goal is trying to be the top ten goals of the day. If you play basketball not to show off, it seems that there is no meaning. In his eyes, there is no need to do anything that cannot show off. This is Swift, a potential man with a super-huge body IQ but always goes off the line.

This is the failure of the Spurs' draft history. The Spurs personally proved that talent is a poison and that being close to one's mind is the ultimate truth.

Last season, he started every game with the Spurs. No matter how Popovich advised him, he looked like a naughty boy who was under 16 and couldn't listen to anything.

This season, Kirilianko entered the NBA, Gasol took over the Spurs, and the Admiral was able to fight, Swift became a substitute, and Kidd's arrival brought his career to a turning point.

Kidd doesn't mind the fact that his mind is getting water. His physical fitness is a weapon for defenders like Kidd. Therefore, as long as Swift appears at the same time as Kidd, he will definitely be able to create one or two all-round dunks at the top ten ball level at that time.

Swift was a big shot on the court, and he was more proactive in doing other things, from a talented man who was tasteless and abandoned, to a valuable rotation for the team. As long as Popovich didn't expect such a thing to be exchanged for the second pick, he should laugh with relief.

It was this kind of Swift who crushed Jerome through his physical fitness.

Attack the rebound and pick melons directly on your head.

The pick-and-roll went down and cooperated with a veteran like Terry, just like Kidd's all-time pass. Swift sank the trash dog in the air and smashed a majestic dunk.

On the other hand, Reed's three-pointer lost his accuracy and the Spurs fought back again.

Back and forth, the score difference quickly narrowed.

The Spurs cracked the Pistons' second lineup with a semi-main lineup. The joint defense failed and the running and bombing could not find the rhythm under high-intensity defense.

I was hit, was beaten to counterattack, offensive violations, and made mistakes.

During this period, the only goal was Ginobili's single-handed single-snake layup.

44 to 44

Halfway through the second quarter, the Spurs filled in the pit in the first quarter.

The piston still has no intention of replacing people.

Mo Mengchen slowly took off his appearance uniform and stood up with Hill.

On the Spurs side, Kidd did the same thing, and he and Arenas also got up and prepared to play.

"Tested each other for a quarter and a half, the game returned to the starting point, and the two sides tied."

It's the Pistons' offensive round now. Watson slowly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and the running and bombing tactics were no longer possible. The Spurs' defense was very strong and they didn't give them any room to exert force.

Curry stood up and stuck Gasol's position, raised his long arm and shouted for the ball.

Wolson lifted the ball over.

Although Gasol has eighteen martial arts skills, he is only 103 kilograms now, while Curry is 118 kilograms. The weight gap is already very large for the inside.

The Spanish feel is so soft that it shows that he does not train frequently in strength, otherwise how can he maintain such a good feel?

Thinking of this, Curry exerted all his strength and knocked Gasol away, stuck his position with his extremely straight shoulders and raised his long arms. Although Gasol's wingspan is as amazing, the hook is a skill in the inside offensive to make up for the height gap. What's more, there is no height gap between the two sides and the wingspan is almost the same. When the position is firmly locked, Gasol's closure has only an interference effect.

"Beep!"

As an international rookie, Gasol was also specially taken care of by the referee. The ball flew to the highest point and fell into the basket with the whistle.

"Eddie!!!"

Curry's mother Gale stood up and shouted excitedly. Judging from her figure and appearance, you can see why Curry looks so horny and bear-back.

Taking advantage of Gasol's foul, both sides made substitutions.

The Pistons replaced Watson and Reed, while the Spurs won Terry and Charles Smith.

"Your rookie is not as bad as you said." Kidd said this deliberately in front of the Ku.

Did he think this would be enough to provoke such a deep friendship between Eddie and me?

Dor.mo thought funnyly that his words made Kid doubt whether his provocation was necessary—"No, your rookie is not as powerful as you imagined. Our future is not good, and abuse is a good player." Mo Mengchen's words made people feel uncomfortable, "Well, Eddie?"

Kidd thought Curry would be angry, but the young man, who was like a bear, responded docilely: "That's right."
