    The reason why the Pistons lost to the Cavaliers was firstly because they performed too poorly, and secondly because the Cavaliers really played well in this game.

    This team doesn¡¯t even have an All-Star. The biggest stars on the team are Andre Miller and ¡°Big Z¡± Zajunas Ilgauskas.

    "If we put these two players in two or three years, they will still be barely considered quasi-All-Stars, but this season Miller is in his third year, and "Big Z" is only in his fourth year in the league.

    Young Miller was "forced" to become the boss of this team this season, and his numbers were pretty good, but the team's record has been poor.

    If there were no super losers like the Bulls in the Eastern Conference, it would probably be the Cavaliers' turn to be at the bottom.

    In this game, Miller made 12 of 16 shots and 10 of 11 free throws. He actually scored 34 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists, a "big triple-double". Five members of the Cavaliers scored in double figures, and the Pistons scored in double figures.  The team did not lose unjustly.

    The Pistons' starting players in this game all had a solid touch. Robinson made 5 of 14 shots, Billups made 6 of 14 shots, Wang Dalin made 7 of 19 shots, and even Hamilton, who has always been the most stable, only made 5 of 13 shots  We can still win unless the sun comes out from the west.

    After the loss, the Pistons players had no time to feel sad and flew back to Detroit overnight. They will face the Seattle SuperSonics at home on the night of December 5th.

    In Wang Dalin's impression, the SuperSonics had always been a strong team in the Western Conference from the early 1990s until Gary Payton left. Reaching the playoffs was all a matter of basic operations. They even reached the NBA Finals once.  In the finalsof course, the "old gangster" led the Bulls to take care of them.

    He was a little surprised at the Sonics' performance this season. It wasn't that they performed too well, but that they performed too poorly They actually had a terrible record of 9 wins and 11 losses in the past. Can you believe it?

    Take a look at the Knicks. Their current record is 11 wins and 9 losses. Head coach Jeff Van Gundy has already voluntarily resigned I guess everyone knows that he didn't really do it because he "wanted to spend more time with his family."  I can't stand New York fans always shouting "Van Gundy get out" in the home arena!

    With a record of 9 wins and 11 losses, they may not even be ranked in the top eight in the Eastern Conference. It is conceivable that in the Western Conference, which is even better, they are now ranked 11th in the Western Conferenceas they should be!

    Wang Dalin was a little confused. In his impression, the SuperSonics team should be very powerful. How could they play so poorly?

    Team boss Gary Payton is just 31 years old and at his peak. He averages 21.9 points, 4 rebounds, 9.1 assists and 1.6 steals per game. As a point guard, his 44.8% field goal percentage is also very good.  , the problem naturally does not lie with him.

    Although the team's main power forward Vin Baker likes to drink and has a chronic IQ deficit, his performance on the court is still good. He has played 13 games so far this season, averaging 18 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 0.8 blocks per game.  .

    Rashad Lewis, the team's third scorer, is also performing very well this season. He averages 15.9 points, 8.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.3 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 41.8% It seems that the offensive efficiency is a bit low.  However, his three-point shooting percentage is 35.7%, which is very good in this era.

    The team's current No. 4 player is Brent Barry, who is also the younger brother of Jon Barry of the Pistons. So far this season, he has averaged 13.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.6 steals per game, performing well on both offense and defense.  Not vulgar.

    The fifth man is Draymond Mason on the bench. As the team's sixth man, this rookie in the same class as Wang Dalin has averaged 13.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.7 steals per game so far this season. If  If he continues to perform like this, he may even be able to compete for the "Best Sixth Man" this season.

    So Wang Dalin really doesn¡¯t understand. With five players averaging double figures, why does the Sonics still perform so poorly? Is it just because the Western Conference teams are too strong?

    At the pre-game press conference, SuperSonics head coach Nate McMillan said in a low-key manner that the Pistons are a very strong team and tonight's game will be very difficult.  However, they will still go all out to win this away game.

    Carlisle also behaved very low-key in front of reporters. He said that the SuperSonics are a very competitive team in the Western Conference. They are very strong and their current record is only temporarily poor.

    He also said that it will be very difficult for the Pistons to defeat the Sonics tonight, but the team's coaching staff and players will go all out to win this game.

    The two behaved surprisingly identically in front of reporters. In fact, it was just business bragging plus a game of football.The "second brother" was destined to fail from the beginning of this game. Unless he met the old Payton two or three years later, he could bully him. Nowhe is the only one who is bullied!

    Looking back, Payton once again played a pick-and-roll match with Vin Baker, but this time he did not pass the ball to Vin Baker who was passing down. Instead, he quickly got to the basket and completed the layup before Ben came to help defend.  basket.

    Wang Dalin felt that this scene looked very familiar, and he thought about it for a while without thinking about it. It was not until he attacked again that he remembered Isn't this "Guide Long"?

    I have to say that Payton's shot just now was too much like the later Rajon Rondo. He was also fast, had a long wingspan, and finished well under the basket.

    If we have to say there is any difference between the two, it is probably that Payton's shooting ability is better than that of "Guide Long" Although his mid-to-long-range shooting is not very accurate, compared with the level of "Guide Long",  Still much more accurate.

    Looking back, Wang Dalin also set a pick-and-roll for Billups. After receiving the ball with the ball, he saw that it was Payton in front of him. He couldn't help but smile: "Gary, how dare you change positions to defend?"  I?"

    Payton smiled and said: "Wang, the person in front of you is the best defensive player in the NBA, you better be careful!"

    Wang Dalin smiled slightly and immediately pulled out, and Payton immediately pounced on him.

    With his height, it is undoubtedly a fantasy to block Wang Dalin, but his long arms can actually reach Wang Dalin's chin The "bordering the eye with a leaf" trick is indeed not something only Sean Battier can do, but  After all, Payton is still a bit short. When Wang Dalin jumped up, it was difficult for him to close his eyes.

    "Whoops!"

    Wang Dalin was not greatly affected by this level of interference. Who let him get high?  If Payton had grown 10cm taller, he might have been able to defend this shot.

    "Haha, Gary, you are too short. I can only humiliate myself by switching positions to defend!" Wang Dalin made up for it at the right time Since he spat a lot of rubbish against Houston last time, he really likes this.  A feeling.

    Payton is not angry either. As a master of trash talk, he knows that trash talk must be combined with on-court performance to achieve maximum power. Now is not a good time to talk back.

    Looking back, Payton and Lewis played wonderful cooperation. After the pick-and-roll, Lewis shot out to the right wing. Wang Dalin was blocked by Payton with his body and did not have time to interfere. Lewis made the shot.

    "Haha, Wang, it's not a skill to only attack by yourself. If you have the guts, can you pass one to your teammates, just like me?"

    After returning the trash talk, Payton turned and left coolly.

    There¡¯s no way, it¡¯s just like this sometimes. When you get slapped in the face within 20 seconds of being proud, it feels really bad.  Wang Dalin was also extremely unhappy and vowed to pass another pass to Hamilton in the next attack.

    Although he was indeed aroused by Payton's trash talk, Wang Dalin did not lose his mind. He originally planned to pass the ball to Hamilton.

    The game had only lasted less than 5 minutes, and Brent Barry had already begun to breathe heavily. Every time he returned to the defensive end, he could only chase Hamilton with all his strength. It was strange that he was so exhausted that he was not tired!

    With such an efficient pitcher, Carlisle has already designed several cover and run tactics for Hamilton. With the cover of Robinson, Big Ben and others, he can often run out of space in the game.

    "Billups and Wang Dalin are both very good at passing the ball. As long as he runs out of space, the ball will be delivered to him nine times out of ten. All he has to do is shoot.

    Speaking of shooting, Hamilton's mid-range shot is more accurate than Wang Dalin's. How difficult is this kind of open mid-range shot?

    "Whoops!"

    Hamilton received a pass from Wang Dalin and made a hit, then turned around and ran towards his own half The "emotionless killer" is so unrestrained and uninhibited, and immediately escaped thousands of miles away with one hit!

    McMillan finally couldn't help but call a timeout. Brent Barry was indeed very tired and had to be allowed to slow down a bit.

    Carlisle also made personnel adjustments. He replaced Williams in advance and replaced Robinson.  Brent Barry's consumption is great, and Robinson's consumption is not small either.

    After all, they are playing back-to-back games, and Robinson is 35 years old. He is already breathing heavily (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
