(Read the full text of the Reading House without pop-up windows)
To be honest, Davis' performance in the Pistons is surpassing Billups. Some people have counted that in the month when the Warriors were eliminated, Davis averaged 18 points and 8 assists per game. For the Pistons, his score suddenly soared to 24.2 points, 11.8 assists, and 2.5 steals.
Billups' performance in the Pistons was much worse, but he averaged 17 points and 6.4 assists per game. This result allowed the fans of Motor City to quickly get out of the shadow of losing Billups, and they excitedly declared: We have a more suitable leader.
Of course, the Warriors fans are not regretful, because after Billups came to the Pistons, although his score was still 17 points, his assists reached a terrifying 14.6!
It should be noted that the assist king this season has nothing to do with the above two. Paul got the first assist king of his career with 12 assists per game. In addition, he averaged 22 points per game, becoming the first defender after Larry Johnson to score 22+12.
The Pistons and Warriors' deal was a joy. Both teams got the people they wanted, and the Supersonics were also good. They got the Little Prince Prince, and Durant can then completely focus the offensive focus on the attack.
The Magic, which was led by Howard, became the third in the Eastern Conference, obviously has an inseparable relationship with Davis' outstanding performance. Davis also has the capital to clamor. It is fake to say that he does not hate Chamberlain and is not hostile to the Warriors. After all, he once led the Warriors to create an unprecedented Black Eight Miracle, but this team actually chose the latter without hesitation in his choice between him and Chamberlain, which really made him feel disappointed.
For this reason, after Chamberlain had the nickname "Automan", Davis took the initiative to give himself the nickname "Decepticon". Needless to say, what his purpose is, everyone has watched "Transformers".
In the last game of the playoffs, the Oracle Arena was crowded with people, and fans all played the title of "See you in the playoffs", and they really couldn't be interested in this regular season game.
Davis has been flirting since entering the Oracle Arena because he found that there were not many traces of him in the huge Arena. What made him even more sad was that no one of the 20,000 fans who came here wore his jersey when he was at the Warriors, and most of them wore Chamberlain's No. 0 jersey.
What made the bearded the most unbearable was that when he entered the court, he was ridiculed by fans: "Man, how can you call Decepticon? You know, every fight between Decepticon and the Autobots is a loss, and Decepticons are villains!"
"I will regret this group of bitches who are bored with the new and old!" Davis said gritting his teeth.
The game finally began. Davis was disappointed by the lineup sent by the Warriors. Chamberlain did not appear in the starting lineup. The starting lineup was Evans + Harrington + Barnes + West + Louis, a very standard substitute lineup. Among these five people, except Harrington, the other four are substitutes.
Old Nelson sat leisurely on the bench, laughing at his opponent, "I'm stupid?" This kind of game was a substitute. We are fifth in the West regardless of the outcome. There is no benefit to win you. Besides, there is nothing to show off to win the East team.
The Pistons are Rashid Wallace + McDyce + Mark Hill + Hamilton + Davis. The Detroiter sent Billups away to give way to Stucky, but Davis was in exchange for the performance of his performance and loyalty. Instead, he completely seized Stucky's chance to play, which made the young master grit his teeth with hatred.
Watching the players on both sides play, Chamberlain and Billups chatted and laughed, and the latter was teaching him playoff skills. After all, he was a person who had won the FMVP and he was afraid that Chamberlain would lose his chain. Chamberlain was not worried that he would lose his chain. Isn’t it just to strengthen his defense? That was his strength, so the two began to verbally and ridicule each other.
In short, none of the two took today's opponent seriously, and this incident made Davis grit his teeth.
If he couldn't use Chamberlain to vent his hatred, he came to West and gritted his teeth and said, "Boy, I will beat you all over the ground today!"
West is Chamberlain's hardcore follower, which is something that everyone knows now. If it weren't for learning that it would be impossible to join the Chinese men's basketball team, West would have followed Chamberlain to change his nationality and become a Chinese nationality. This is a real man who is grateful and now he has made a fortune, but West has given all this to Chamberlain and is loyal to him.
Average of 18.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.2 blocks and 2.8 steals per game. This is the data after West came to the Warriors. This data is extremely comprehensive. Warriors fans are all grateful that their team has picked up a treasure, while fans of the Celtics and Supersonics sigh.
West obviously knew the hatred between Chamberlain and Davis. He was almost furious by the media before the game. Now, as long as he is not blind and deaf, he understands the direct relationship between the two sides. Hearing Davis' warning, he sneered: "Do you the fuck you don't want to play in the playoffs? Believe it or not, I'll knock you down here?"
Davis was about to get angry when he glared at his big eyes. Evans came up and pulled West away. Although he looked ferocious, Evans was actually a real person. Davis obviously knew this. After all, they had been teammates for more than a month, so he began to become more arrogant: "If you have the guts, come, little gangster on the street, do you think I'm afraid of you? When I sweep the streets, you are still peeing and playing with mud..."
In this way, the game has not yet begun, and the battle between the two sides has started first.
After Rashid and Evans jumped the ball, the Pistons took the lead in attacking. Although Evans jumped well, he was too short, half a head shorter than Rashid. There was no advantage in jumping the ball. If Chamberlain came on the court, Rashid would have to be killed instantly.
Mark Hill took the lead, and Davis seemed to have a bloody blow. He pushed Louis hard and entered the free throw area. After attracting Barnes to double-team, he passed the ball to Mark Hill without any nostalgia. Unfortunately, the mid-range shot went out and the Pistons were defended by themselves for the first time.
The Warriors' offense was completely out of touch. After all, they were all substitutes. Although they had the ability, they were still much worse than the starters of top teams in the East. Old Nelson was trying to train, so he didn't care, but the fans were unhappy and shouted, "Switch to z."
The Warriors' offense first, Barnes missed the mid-range shot, and West hit the basket twice in a row. In this way, the Warriors' main attack on West was shattered by the Pistons. Davis is praised here, because he is defending West. This guy is strong and has developed his experience in the league for so many years, so his defensive ability is indeed excellent.
The attack point on the Pistons is very clear. Davis is the team's undisputed main attack point. After Mark Hill missed the mid-range shot, Davis scored 8 points in a row and shot, destroying the Warriors' outside line at the beginning, helping the team gain a 13-2 lead.
The Warriors only made a mid-range shot in 4 minutes. The Pistons showed the defensive ability of the top teams in the East. They held the Warriors' offense tightly on defense.
Old Nelson called an emergency stop to solve the offensive problem. He blamed West for being intent and asked Louis to allocate the ball. The latter is worthy of being the point guard that Old Nelson is interested in. He was extremely calm. After returning, he assisted Harrington to score a layup in the sports game, and then helped Evans to make an all-time relay.
This time it was the Pistons' turn to be anxious, but Rashid made another three-second violation. West seized the opportunity to make Davis a defensive foul. After the free throw, he stole Mark Hill's pass and launched a fast break, scoring 4 points in a row, becoming a major contributor to the Warriors' points chase. He instigated the 8-0 Little Gaoqian to chase the score to 10-13 and stabilize the position.
Rashid took an offensive foul when facing Evans' defense. The latter was no longer Wu Xia Amon under Thurmond's training, because of his fast lateral movement speed and hard defensive attitude, and his strong ball style, Evans has already become the second generation of Big Ben. Although everyone knows that he is so far away from Big Ben and Earth to Mars, he finally has signs of catching up. Isn't this a good thing?
The Pistons replaced Lashid, replaced by Amir Johnson, Harrington grabbed and continued to attack the Pistons' inside, West scored two points at the basket, and the Warriors tied the score at 16 in one fell swoop.
The Warriors quickly came out of the unfavorable start, and Davis began to plan a counterattack. He first assisted Hamilton to throw a three-pointer and retaliated. McDys scored 6 points in a row at the basket to support the Pistons' attack system, demonstrating his strength as a top power forward who was once comparable to Garnett and Duncan.
West attacked the Pistons' basket twice in a row, assisting Harrington to shoot a three-pointer, and both sides tied 25 to enter the timeout. However, Hamilton's three-pointer immediately regained the Pistons' lead. Louis hurriedly used a mid-range shot to bite the score. Jackson, who came on the bench, sneaked into the basket and helped the Warriors take the lead 29-28 at the end of the first quarter.
When he came back in the second quarter, Chamberlain and Billups, the two core players, still did not play. Old Nelson sat firmly on the Diaoyutai. The performance of the substitute lineup surprised him, the head coach. It turned out that he had such a group of resilient guys under him.
The Warriors' ball was the opening game, and West immediately made a layup to expand the Warriors' advantage. Then when facing Davis, he broke the opponent's breakthrough and passed the ball to Jackson, assisting the latter to dunk the opponent. The Warriors made a beautiful start, but unfortunately Evans made an own goal when he made a quick mistake and scored an own goal when he was busy and failed to succeed in attacking. He lost the opportunity to continue to expand the lead.
