I just want to lie down and win

Chapter 157 Winning Streak Restart, All-Star Game (4000, please subscribe)

Coincidentally, the first game Marbury came to the Pistons was against the Nets.

And the Pistons, coach Byron Scott this season, the team he most wants to play is also the Nets.

Part of Byron Scott's departure from the Nets was blamed, and part of it was just left by Kidd.

Byron Scott got Marbury after the Pistons took a firm stand, and the two formed the Avengers to deal with Kidd.

Well now, finally have this chance.

On February 2th, Continental Airlines Center Stadium.

At the beginning of the game, Huo Song, as usual, started to help the team jump to the ball.

In the first wave of offense, Marbury directly launched the attack with a step outside the three-point line.

Marbury's breakthrough is not purely based on his body, he relies on speed and explosive power to surpass others, and the rhythm of the breakthrough is also very sharp.

As the league's top point guard, Kidd has no problem defending the breakthrough of most outside players, but when he encounters Marbury, he can only watch him pass by.

I don't know if it's because he just came to the Pistons, or if Marbury has really changed.

After getting inside, Marbury attracted the defense of Nets center Nenad Kostic, and immediately jumped up and threw the ball high in front of Huo Song.

Huo Song originally only wanted to get in, but when he saw how selfless Marbury was, he immediately followed suit.

Fortunately, Huo Song's jumping is not bad, and his wingspan is long. This time he was not very prepared for the alley-oop, but he also used the ball to dunk into the basket easily.

"I knew you could! Sure enough." Marbury was very excited.

Huo Song didn't turn his assist into a turnover, but directly helped the team gain a 2-point advantage.

"It's all within my ability, your pass is great!"

After officially being a teammate on the court and fighting side by side together, Huo Song has become more and more able to accept the fact that Marbury has become a teammate.

Indeed, as he thought before, Huo Song can play more comfortably in the paint with Marbury's historically talented point guard teammates.

When it was the Nets' turn, Marbury was also very serious about Kidd's defense, and there was no slack.

This made Huo Song feel relieved.

If Marbury can always play like this, and the offensive and defensive organizations are doing very well, then it is not a loss to replace Marbury with Billups and Rasheed Wallace.

It can only be said that there is no expensive one, only the right one.

It is right to be suitable for the Pistons and help him become stronger.

Having said that, Kidd couldn't break into the inside under Marbury's strict defense.

There was no other way but to pass the ball to Carter.

Carter came to the Nets this season and wants to team up with Kidd to hit the Eastern Conference Finals.

But maybe it's bad luck. The Nets' record this season is not good because of injuries and problems with the bench lineup.

After the Nets drove away Byron Scott, the new head coach also failed to make good use of Kidd and Carter, two of the league's top outside stars.

After Carter received the ball, he tried three threats, but Prince was very experienced in dealing with Kobe, let alone Carter.

Carter has started playing health-preserving basketball this year. After three threats, he failed to make a breakthrough and turned to a dry pull.

The result was Duang's cry.

With the help of Big Ben, Huo Song took off the defensive rebound, and then immediately passed the ball to the frontcourt.

On the defensive end, Marbury mainly stands at a 45-degree angle. Although he can't smoke in the bottom corner, he can find time to rest in many cases.

Seeing that Huo Song controlled the rebound, Marbury immediately ran to the frontcourt.

Seeing Huo Song pass the ball directly, Marbury shot straight into the basket without saying a word.

Kidd was a step slower to catch up, and Marbury took off half a step inside the free throw line, and it was a one-handed gliding split directly.

"Oh my god, this jumping height, this gliding time, really deserves to be Stephen Marbury!"

If not as an opponent, Nets fans still like Marbury very much.

After all, Marbury played here for several years and brought them a better point guard like Kidd.

But now, things have changed, and that can only be lamented by Marbury's physical condition.

I have to say that Marbury's athletic ability is really shocking.

Obviously only 183 in height, but like the shorter Iverson, although he is not tall, his bounce is amazing.

When fast-break dunks, they can often surprise everyone.

The Pistons were a guest at the Nets and started 4-0. This game is easy to play.

Because of the trade of Billups and the Byron Scott version of the Princeton system, the ball is mainly concentrated on Marbury and Huo Song.

As for Marbury, who has just arrived and is very sensible, he keeps feeding his teammates, mainly feeding Huo Song cakes.

Naturally, it was impossible for Huo Song to work in the first quarter and wait until the next two quarters.

In fact, like today's game, Huo Song likes to be able to play the advantage in the first quarter and try to close the game within three quarters.

No need to work overtime, can leave work early, and can also play beautiful data, who doesn't like it?
New teammates, new atmosphere.

In the first quarter, under the constant feeding of Marbury, Huo Song made 10 of 8 shots in a single quarter, 4 of 4 free throws, scored 20 points, and hit a 100% true shooting percentage.

During the break between quarters, Marbury was also very excited about Huo Song's performance of 20 points in a single quarter.

Marbury kept touting Huo Song's strong personal ability and being omnipotent inside.

Huo Song also grinned and boasted to each other commercially. Marbury's pass is what the team needs. Huo Song bluntly said that Marbury's arrival has injected new strength into the team.

For a while, other players in the Pistons even felt that the two leading players of the team were Huo Song and Marbury, not Da Ben and Huo Song.

However, Marbury only scored 4 points in the first quarter, but scored 6 assists and did not make a single mistake. This really made the other players of the Pistons very happy.

Although four of Marbury's assists were obtained from Huo Song, Huo Song didn't spit out any cakes in the first quarter.

But having said that, not everyone can do things like feeding cakes and getting assists.

Prince is also good at breakthroughs. He tried to cooperate with Huo Song before, but Prince couldn't get so many assists in a game, let alone a quarter.

There is no doubt that Marbury's breakthrough and passing are exactly what the Pistons need.

Marbury's sudden points can give the ball to the right candidate, and it can further relieve Huo Song's offensive pressure on the inside.

After the start of the second quarter, the energetic Marbury continued to play.

During the period when Huo Song was still resting off the court, Marbury and Hamilton well undertook to lead the bench to score and withstand the pressure of the Nets' counterattack.

Marbury played a little egotistically in the second quarter, which was a big gap from when Huo Song was on the court in the first quarter.

But alone, strong is also very strong.

Marbury's inside shot was as simple as visiting his own garden, and then he went to the basket, making various difficult layups, and occasionally found a chance to dunk.

In just half a quarter of the game, Marbury made 7 of 4 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 10 points.

Following this trend, Marbury scored 20 points in the first half, so naturally there will be no problem.

Of course, the problem is not without it. Marbury, who focuses on scoring, rarely notices teammates who get open shots.

But in the eyes of Huo Song and Byron Scott, Marbury just came to the Pistons, and he doesn't know the other teammates very well. In addition, he is short in height and has limited passing vision. Excuse me.

As long as Marbury helps the team score within the scope of Marbury's personal ability, and the point difference is not recovered, that's fine.

Stars can solve everything single-handedly, so why not use those tactics that make people dizzy?In the playoffs, the best tactic is not the star pick-and-roll, star singles?
So, Marbury played his first game with the Pistons, and he played well.

Halfway through the second quarter, Byron Scott took the initiative to call a timeout, and adjusted a big cycle in all directions.

Then, under the leadership of Huo Song and Da Ben, the team went further and began to widen the point difference.

The strongest point of the Pistons is the inside line, and after the Nets got Carter, the outside line naturally became stronger, but the inside line remained unchanged.

Even Kenyon Martin is vulnerable now because of his injury.

After Huo Song came on the court, the effect was immediate. Even without Marbury feeding the cake, Huo Song was accurate in low singles.

After the second quarter, Huo Song has scored 33 points.

It's a pity that the point difference opened up a little too fast, and Huo Song could finish the third quarter at most, so he didn't have a chance to score points.

After finally meeting a team with no insiders, Huo Song must play a dozen more in order to become the scoring champion and the MVP of the regular season.

But the opponent was quickly blown up, and Huo Song had to talk about his football ethics, and slapped his face in the garbage time to score points.

106 to 78, the Pistons visited the Continental Airlines Center Stadium and achieved a meaningful victory.

The Nets have a poor record this season, but after all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and the Nets have a lot of connections with the Pistons.

With this victory, Marbury integrated into the Pistons, and Byron Scott used the Princeton system to transform the Pistons, and it became smoother.

After playing the Nets, the Pistons still have half a week to rest.

It just so happened that Byron Scott worked overtime to instill the Princeton system's playing philosophy into the players and help them adapt to the new tactics as soon as possible.

On February 2, the Pistons sat at home to welcome the Lakers to challenge.

With the disintegration of the Lakers F4, the Sharks swim eastward, and the Lakers dynasty is no longer.

In the last few games, Kobe has missed the game due to injury. The Lakers will naturally get no benefit from the Pistons.

Huo Song is the same as before, clocking out of get off work in three quarters.

Scored 42 points and 14 rebounds today, so far.

It is worth mentioning that today Marbury focused on playing tactics with other teammates. He only took 9 shots and scored 12 points, but he had 14 assists.

Although Huo Song contributed 7 assists to Marbury, the remaining 7 assists also shows Marbury's ability.

In an interview after the game, some media reporters mentioned that Huo Song and Marbury have the opportunity to become a combination of passing and cutting inside and outside lines like Karl Malone and Stockton.

To a certain extent, it is.

Huo Song and Marbury's mutual talents and playing styles can achieve each other's game influence and game statistics.

But there are some things to consider. Huo Song is not the cake king, and the main score actually comes from his own offense.

The other is age!Huo Song is a player of the 03 platinum generation, and Marbury is the 96 golden generation.

Huo Song is expected to hit Karl Malone's scoring record in the regular season. Even if Marbury stays in the Pistons, it is unlikely to hit Stockton's assist record.

Closer to home, since the Pistons traded with the Knicks and Marbury arrived in the Pistons, the Pistons have been in good condition.

Many Eastern and Western teams are expecting the Pistons to enter the running-in period due to the arrival of new players, and the record will fluctuate.

Unexpectedly, the Pistons did not expose various problems because they were in the running-in period.

It can only be said that the leading star is strong enough to indeed suppress various problems in the record.

Sometimes singles really solves everything.

After having the ability to solve problems in singles, and then use the team approach to make the team more cohesive and competitive, it is also difficult for the team's record to fluctuate.

Before the start of the All-Star break, the Pistons have maintained a winning streak.

On the contrary, the Knicks, who won Billups and Rasheed Wallace, did not get out of the quagmire immediately, but the losing streak continued.

"I said I'm one of the best point guards in the league! And that's exactly what it is!"

On February 2, after the away game against the 16ers, Marbury proudly said in an interview after the game.

Today, Marbury faced Iverson. Both of them are small players, both historical point guards with explosive physical fitness, and they have even been involved since the draft.

But it was Marbury who had the last laugh today!
Marbury not only won the team, but also has an advantage over Iverson in statistics.

全场艾弗森23投6中，三分5投1中，罚球14投10中，砍下23分5助攻1篮板1抢断的数据。

马布里是12投8中，三分4投1中，罚球6投5中，砍下22分15助攻3篮板2抢断。

In terms of control errors, Iverson made 7 turnovers and his scalp was numb.

Marbury only had two times. Looking at the assist-to-turnover ratio, it feels normal.

Of course, the player's personal data is still very related to the team.

What teammate is Iverson, what teammate is Marbury?
Marbury broke through the outside and inside of the 75ers, and there was not much pressure, so the hit rate was relatively high.

In terms of assists, Huo Song also provided help, and Marbury's data naturally increased.

Iverson is a little uncomfortable with the Pistons, which have been quite effective after the establishment of the Princeton system.

After all, Iverson is familiar with Larry Brown's set, at least he understands a little bit and knows how to tear the defense.

But now this set is relatively unfamiliar, so you can only rely on the sense of competition.

As a result, he ran into the two walls built by Da Ben and Huo Song, reached the height of the inside challenge, hit the wall repeatedly, and returned in vain.

It is precisely because of this that the Pistons defeated the 75ers relatively easily.

In the first half of the regular season, the record was particularly good.

And next, the All-Star Weekend is coming, and the second All-Star Game of Huo Song's career is about to start.

But before that, Huo Song had to play a rookie challenge with a group of rookies.

Therefore, sometimes the identity of a rookie is quite embarrassing.

Because he is too good, he seems to be out of tune with other people.
