Chapter 176 Low Combination
The second offensive round belongs to the Heat.

Wade advanced to the front court, ready to hang in.

But McDyess knew that he couldn't hold O'Neill, so he decisively took the defense around the front.

Rasheed was also on guard nearby.

The two cooperated with each other to prevent O'Neal from receiving the ball.

It seems that although the Pistons do not have a big budget, they are still fully prepared to win the Heat.

The ball can't go in.

Wade chose to play by himself.

Before he could command, Li Lei ran over tacitly.

Hit the pick and roll!
Billups and Prince decisively switched defenses.

Wade faced Prince head-on and accelerated the breakthrough directly.

Prince held out his hand to block it.

Drip!

The whistle blew.

Prince was called for a foul.

No handcheck rule.

Above the free throw line, defenders are not allowed to use their hands at will.

This rule is used against defensive teams like the Spurs and Pistons.

The Spurs adapted quickly, but the Pistons were very uncomfortable.

So far this season, they have been struggling and are often troubled by fouls.

On the night of the Palace of Auburn Hills incident, their record was only 4 wins and 4 losses.

It can be said that the defense that the Pistons rely on for survival has been weakened a lot due to the change of rules.

The team also belongs to the Heat.

The Heat serve a sideline kick.

The Pistons still take O'Neal to go around the front defense.

O'Neal had a hard time getting the ball.

But everything has advantages and disadvantages. O'Neal attracted the Pistons' defense inside, and the Pistons' outside defense must not be so tight.

Wade continued to do pick-and-roll with Li Lei.

Prince didn't reach out this time, but held Wade with his chest.

Wade kept on, relying on his strong half body to stabilize his body, while his lower body continued to use force to break through from the side.

Prince couldn't keep up.

Seeing this, Rashid immediately rushed over to defend.

Wade has quick eyes and quick hands, passing the ball to Haslem who was emptied.

Haslem made a direct shot from mid-range.

Swish!
2: 2.

The guy's mid-range is getting more consistent.

The ball is switched and the Pistons attack.

Rashid and McDyess cooperated without the ball again.

McDyess ran out of chance.

Billups' passing is still in place, and the ball reaches people.

But as soon as McDyess took the ball, he found that Li Lei had blocked him.

"So quick to make up the defense!"

Shot opportunities are fleeting.

McDyess did not give up, relying on his strong body, he wanted to force Li Lei.

Against Li Lei, McDyess chiseled in.

Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Continuous muscle collisions, the sound can be heard in the audience.

Li Lei really couldn't bear it, so he could only defend and retreat, so as not to lose his position.

As he approached the basket, McDyess slammed Li Lei away, turned around and shot.

At this moment, a huge figure appeared in the eyes of McDyess.

"Shark" O'Neill!

Although Li Lei couldn't support McDyess, at least he gave the delay, which gave O'Neill enough time to help defend.

That terrifying big hand slapped McDyess to the floor with the ball.

McDyess, who was extremely strong in front of Li Lei, was like a child in front of O'Neill.

"Roar!"

After sending out the bloody hat, O'Neill roared to the sky.

"The restricted area is my territory!"

O'Neal was holding his breath when he played against the Pistons.

The Pistons went around again to prevent O'Neal from receiving the ball, and O'Neal became even more angry.

If you seize the opportunity, you will naturally bully the Pistons players to death.

Li Lei picked up the basketball and saw that Wade had rushed forward in a tacit understanding, and immediately made a long pass.

Wade received the ball, ran to the frontcourt and slammed the ball into the basket with both hands.

boom!
2: 4.

Wade who landed also hissed and roared.

Who is not suffocating?
There was a commotion at the Palace of Auburn Hills.

The fans in the Motor City seemed a little uneasy. The Heat have a lot of fighting spirit today!
It's the Pistons' turn to attack again.

McDyess's middle distance was cracked, and Rashid took the initiative to run out to find a chance.

Haslem followed naturally.

Rasheed made a feint, and thrust in against Haslem.

But Li Lei's defense is still very fast.

Rashid was blocked in the middle distance and was forced to split the ball.

Hamilton catches and shoots.

But the old Jones made up the defense quickly, and Hamilton could only pass again.

Prince gets the ball.

Li Lei has already rushed over.

Prince played very smartly. He tricked Li Lei with a feint, and he rushed in with the ball.

Don't look at Prince as thin as a bamboo pole, he plays very tough, and he bursts into the penalty area and hits the basket.

But at this moment, O'Neill squeezed away from McDyess, who was covering Prince, and rushed to Prince.

Seeing the Big Mac in front of him, even the tough Prince couldn't help feeling tremendous pressure in his heart.

Snapped!
Another volleyball cap.

In just 3 minutes of the opening, O'Neill sent out big caps in a row.

He played very well today.

Hamilton picked up the ball, but before he could hold it firmly, he was intercepted by Li Lei who suddenly shot out.

Li Lei grabbed the basketball and made a fast break by himself.

Billups and Prince chased after Li Lei one after the other.

Li Lei caught a glimpse of Wade on the wing, made a fake shot to attract the opponent, but passed the ball to the wing.

Wade gets the ball.

Billups wanted to defend Wade again, but he couldn't react.

Wade directly faced Billups, who couldn't react, and forced a layup.

The basketball hits the backboard into the frame.

2: 6.

The Pistons got off to a bad start.

Larry Brown stood up directly, shouting command from the sidelines: "Success rate! Avoid O'Neal!"

"Yes, sir!"

Billups nods, holds the ball and slowly advances
While stabilizing the rhythm, he directed his teammates to move.

"Masked Man" Hamilton started to run, and Rasheed came up to cover him without the ball.

Li Lei was firmly blocked by Rashid and could not catch up.

But Haslem switched defenses decisively.

Hamilton received the ball to face Haslem, accelerated the breakthrough directly, and then made a step-back jumper.

Haslem couldn't react in time and didn't give enough interference.

Basketball goes through the net.

Swish!
4: 6.

Hamilton's ability to catch and shoot the ball is really strong.

The Pistons were successful and had enough time to retreat.

The Heat's offense can only land.

The Pistons continued to defend O'Neal around the front, and McDyess and Rasheed spared no effort to block O'Neal.

But this created an opportunity for Wade.

With the help of Li Lei's pick-and-roll, Wade entered the penalty area and exploded directly.

McDyess wanted to make up the defense, but was a step slower.

Wade dunks through McDyess and caused a foul by McDyess.

2+1.

Wade made the free throw.

4: 9.

Pistons attack.

Hamilton continued to run without the ball.

Li Lei was prepared this time, pushing ahead of Rashid and following Hamilton.

But Billups made a false shot, attracted the defense and then gave it to Prince.

Prince raised his knife and dropped it.

Swish!
There are also.

7: 9.

With McDyess replaced by Big Ben, the Pistons' defense is a little bit worse, but the offense has improved instead.

Relying on offensive ability, the Pistons bit the score.

The Heat attack.

Wade continued to rely on O'Neal's low-post containment force to kill to the basket.

But Prince got in the way this time.

Rasheed had plenty of time to stand firm and interfere with Wade's layup.

Bang!

Under Rasheed's interference, Wade hit the ball out of the frame.

Rasheed turns back for the rebound.

But at this moment, O'Neal squeezed away McDyess again, rose into the air, grabbed the rebound before Rasheed, and then exploded for the second time, smashing the basketball into the basket.

boom!
7: 11.

The basketball hoop creaked, and it felt like it was about to break at any moment.

The dunk of the big shark is too cruel!
Tonight's O'Neill is really fierce.

Of course, McDyess's defense is also a problem.

McDyess is 206cm, 112kg, swinging between the 4th and 5th positions, and it is difficult for him to defend against O'Neal.

If you switch to big money, enough strength, and good positioning, O'Neal may not be able to grab this offensive rebound so easily.

Larry Brown also saw that McDyess was not good enough and replaced Campbell.

Eldon Campbell, 213cm, official weight 127kg.

But judging by his size, he should have weighed 130kg+ in recent years.

In the finals of last season, the big black bear caused great trouble to O'Neal.

However, this season, Campbell is 36 years old, coupled with injuries, his combat effectiveness has declined sharply, and his playing time has become less and less.

Pistons offense.

Hamilton's mid-range jumper missed under Li Lei's interference.

Campbell resisted O'Neal and grabbed an offensive rebound.

The strength of this guy is really amazing.

Campbell took the ball, swayed to O'Neal, and went straight to the layup.

But at this moment, a figure rushed into the penalty area and slapped Campbell's shot on the backboard.

boom!
Li Lei's pegboard hat.

Relying on his agility, Li Lei grabbed the basketball again.

But Rashid pressed decisively, so that Li Lei could not pass the ball in the first time.

The Pistons took the opportunity to retreat, and the Heat had no choice but to drop their positions.

Li Lei pushed forward slowly, and secretly communicated with O'Neill on the way.

O'Neal made an "ok" gesture.

In the front court, O'Neal did not go to the basket, but stayed at the free throw line to cover for Li Lei.

Li Lei directly accelerated the breakthrough and got rid of Prince.

Campbell wants to come out to defend, but his pace is too slow.

Li Lei threw the shot easily.

The basketball goes through the hoop.

Swish!
7: 13.

Pistons attack.

Billups' shot also missed.

At this moment, the Heat are more like the Pistons last season, with a particularly good defense.

However, the Heat's fast break still failed.

Still on the ground.

Li Lei continued to do pick-and-roll with O'Neal at the free throw line.

Campbell was prepared this time, and he decisively switched to Li Lei.

Li Lei sped up... and made Campbell live a clean life.

Campbell's pace is really slow, and his career seems to be coming to an end.

But Rashid came forward to defend.

Li Lei took his time and made a wonderful pass to the basket.

Haslem dunks the ball.

boom!
7: 15.

The difference gradually widened.

Coach Larry Brown was at a loss.

McDyess can't do it, Campbell has a bigger problem.

next round.

Rashid came out to defend the pick-and-roll, blocking Li Lei.

But Li Lei made a lob and sent the ball to O'Neal who was down.

O'Neal jumped up and smashed the basketball into the hoop before Campbell jumped up.

boom!
7: 17.

Drip!

Larry Brown couldn't take it anymore, and finally called a timeout.

Although McDyess has no defense, at least he can help the team on the offensive end.

The old Campbell has no sense of presence on both offense and defense.

So, put on McDyess.

In the private room of the arena, Pistons general manager Joe Dumars watched the game with red eyes.

Is this Chinese player Li Lei already so powerful that he can even dominate the ball?
Dumars still remembers that the Pistons invited Li Lei for the trial training, but unfortunately they didn't like him in the end and missed it.

The two rookies selected by the Pistons, the No. 25 pick Milicic and the No. [-] pick Delfino, have not been able to enter the rotation so far.

Almost, this guy belongs to the Pistons.

The game lost most of its suspense when Campbell was replaced.

The Pistons are very tenacious, but the Heat still rely on their strength to widen the point difference step by step.

Without a big book, it will have too much impact on the Pistons' defense.

McDyess and Campbell can't replace Big Ben at all.

In the end, 96:83.

The Heat were victorious.

The Heat have won seven consecutive victories, with a total record of 13 wins and 1 loss, continuing to lead the league.

Wade scored a game-high 26 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.

李磊18分6篮板4助攻3抢断2盖帽。

O'Neal had 16 points, 17 rebounds and 4 blocks.

The three cores scored 60 points, accounting for two-thirds of the team.

For the Pistons:
Hamilton had 22 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 6 fouls.

Billups had 18 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 fouls.

Rashid had 13 points, 9 rebounds and 1 block.

普林斯11分2篮板2助攻2抢断3犯规。

McDyess had 4 points, 6 rebounds and 5 fouls.

Campbell had 0 points, 3 rebounds and 4 fouls.

The Pistons committed a lot of fouls, and they still haven't adapted to the new rules.

……

The Heat's record is outstanding, which has attracted more and more attention.

The fans also imitated the GDP combination and gave Li Lei, O'Neal, and Wade a name: LOW.

Low combination.
