At halftime of the Pistons, Josh Smith looked like he was still unsatisfied: It's so cool, that's how geniuses should play. My talent was really wasted in the Hawks.

When he came to the frontcourt, he saw Will Bynum let him go. He held the ball and called Wang Zelin's pick-and-roll.

Wang Zelin's layup provided a high-quality screen. Lillard took two steps to the left and immediately took the shot.

"Whoosh!"

He shot this goal with full of depression, but fortunately, the ball went in.

At 30:22, the Trail Blazers led by 8 points at home.

The next second, Pistons head coach Michael Curry couldn't sit still at all and called a timeout on the spot.

"Smith, look what you've done?"

Josh Smith returned to the bench, and before he could sit down, he was greeted by a barrage of questions from the head coach.

"I..." Josh Smith glanced at the direction of the scoreboard with a guilty conscience, and naturally knew that everything was caused by himself, and instantly stopped saying anything.

"Just because you shot three-pointers like crazy, and because of your one-man operation, everyone's previous efforts were in vain. Are you worthy of us? You ****"

Seeing that Josh Smith had no intention of apologizing, Andre Drummond, who had been running back and forth for a few minutes on the court in vain, became angry at that time. He was so angry that he immediately started to curse.

"enough!!!"

Josh Smith is also a man with a temper. He believes that even if he made a slight mistake in the past, this cannot be the reason for him to be offended by a rookie.

After confirming to join the Pistons, he positioned himself as the boss of the team. How could he let a second-year rookie climb over him?

Josh Smith roared repeatedly, which attracted the attention of the audience in the front row. Some reporters quickly picked up their cameras and recorded everything that happened.

"Let me tell you, I came to Detroit to lead you to win, not to get scolded. Otherwise, who would be willing to come to this miserable place?"

Josh Smith looked around and felt that it was time for him to establish his authority as the boss of the team, otherwise there would be some crooked people who would provoke him for no good reason next time.

"asshole!"

"Who do you think you are?"

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

Those words completely angered all three generations of Pistons players, old, middle and young.

It's not just Andre Drummond who's angry this time.

Rodney Stuckey, who once used Allen Iverson as a substitute and was cultivated by the Pistons management as the core of the team, and later switched to the team's sixth man due to lack of strength, was angry.

Billups, who had just played four games back in Detroit, was also angry.

"What, what's the matter!" Josh Smith looked fierce at first, but as soon as he thought about the food the three people in front of him cooked, they were useless and old, and he immediately felt confident.

"Hmph! You two rookies and losers, and you, the old fool, do you think you are very good? Do you think you can lead Detroit to compete for the championship? Do you have the strength to fight me, Josh Smith?

Don’t look at who is in control of the Pistons now..."

Josh Smith smiled with disdain and made endless mocking words.

"Before you came, I was the champion! Now you dare to say that I am not qualified..."

For example, Puth instantly became furious and stood up to angrily attack Josh Smith.

Michael Curry also frowned a little. He couldn't understand why a good team suddenly had such big differences.

But he knew that he could no longer think about the situation in front of him. If he didn't speak, the situation would probably start: "Let's stop it right now!"

The scene suddenly fell silent.

Mike Brown continued: "Listen, the Detroit Pistons are a team, and it has never been anyone's team. What I want to see is the goals you make as a team, not individual heroism."

His words left Josh Smith, Andre Drummond and four other people speechless.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But there is nothing to say if there is nothing to say. The four of them did not change their minds because of Coach Jia’s words.

The seeds of disagreement have been planted, waiting for them to bear fruit.

Chaotingtai live broadcast seats.

Yang Jian and Ma Jian looked at each other.

What is this!

Why did the scene suddenly become like this?

Didn't the Pistons still play well in the first quarter?

Isn't it just 8 points behind?

Why are they all so noisy all of a sudden?

Look at this scene, Josh Smith is ready to challenge three!

Yang Jian and Ma Jian looked at each other again, but instead of the weird atmosphere during the live broadcast, they chose to continue eating.

The same goes for the fans at the scene and the Blazers players on the other side, eating melon in silence, except for the peanut soda.

The argument cost the Pistons two long timeouts.

However, seeing that the situation calmed down, Michael Curry could finally let go of the huge stone in his heart: If the argument continues, a long pause will not be enough.

Now, he only hopes that the players can actively cooperate and get the score back as soon as possible.

Even now, he can see that Trail Blazers No. 36 is in obviously bad shape today. It's rare that the goddess of luck is on the side of the Pistons and has given them a great opportunity. If you don't take advantage of it, you will be punished by God.

Within the venue.

Michael Curry became increasingly angry as he watched the performance of his players. He felt like a fire was burning crazily in his body.

After the timeout, Michael Curry put on the full lineup in order to achieve the effect of the first quarter.

As a result, the team members had other ideas, and after receiving the call, they all played according to their own ideas.

Billups took the lead in involving players in the other three positions, vaguely separating Josh Smith from the team system, causing the latter to be completely unable to touch the ball.

You do the first grade of junior high school, and I do the fifteenth grade.

After being ostracized by his teammates, Josh Smith's attitude on the defensive end became obviously negative. On the offensive end, he grabbed rebounds and dribbled the ball from the backcourt. During this period, he also gave the Trail Blazers 2 steals.

High emotional intelligence: The Pistons suddenly played much more decisively!

Low EQ: What the hell are the TMD Pistons doing?

As long as there is a chance to take a shot, even if you see your teammates in a better position, no matter who is holding the ball, they will not hesitate to choose themselves.

The result is that after the second quarter, individual players' statistics were extremely good.

Josh Smith got 3 points and 4 rebounds. Compared with the first quarter, Billups took a lot more shots. He scored two three-pointers and scored 8 points in the half.

But at the end of halftime, the Pistons trailed by 14 points.

Can not Understand it!

I really can’t understand it!

Terry Stotts returned to the locker room at halftime and exclaimed, "I can't understand." The Pistons' playing style was too weird.

In the first quarter, we played as a team and everyone had a clear division of labor; in the second quarter, Josh Smith took the lead and Billups followed suit, shooting decisively and playing like a star.

Are the Pistons using Andre Drummond as prime Howard?

Or do they think they can beat the Trail Blazers with their star ability?

No matter which idea he had, Terry Stotts wanted to send a weak greeting to the Pistons coaching staff: "Do you have the strength?"

"Is it because of the argument during the timeout? The Pistons' playing style changed drastically..."

Several assistant coaches were just as confused as him.

David Vanderpool suggested: "How about we switch to double-team defense in the second half?"

Terry Stotts nodded first, then quickly shook his head and said: "No, let's maintain the defensive strategy of the first half and let them take turns playing singles."

In the new season, the Pistons only lost a few games against strong teams and won against weak teams, which shows that they have indeed become a lot stronger than last season.

But compared to the Trail Blazers, their so-called strength is actually limited.

If it weren't for the fact that Wang Zelin's condition was not clearly declining before the game, leading to the opponent being caught off guard, the Trail Blazers would never have fallen behind by 3 points in the first quarter.

Since the opponent wants to compete for stars, let's fight. Terry Stotts is not afraid at all!

For the Pistons, if Billups doesn't explode, they will only have one star like Josh Smith.

On the other hand, for the Trail Blazers, Aldridge is a solid All-Star player and an absolute league star.

Wang Zelin's condition declined today and he couldn't play offensively, but he still performed well on the defensive end, so it can be regarded as 0.5.

That is to say, the Trail Blazers have 1.5 stars, and the team atmosphere is obviously better than the Pistons.

1.5 to 1, so what are you afraid of?

Just maintain the current defensive state and let them fight against each other.

However, it should not be said that when Aldridge releases a lot of ball rights and concentrates all his energy on the offense, the firepower is really leveraged!

In the first quarter, he scored 8 points on 4 of 6 shots. He continued his efforts in the second quarter, scoring 20 points on 9 of 11 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 28 points in the half.
