One Guard

Vol 3 Chapter 713: : Josh Smith is the real MVP

Detroit Pistons, 11 wins and 23 losses, tenth in the East. If you look at this alone, the Pistons are not an opponent of the Mavericks at all. In terms of record and ranking, the two teams are not at the same level.

But today's game has attracted the attention of everyone in the league. The Pistons and Mavericks, this is obviously a very unequal duel, so why does this happen?

Because before that, the Pistons had already experienced 6 consecutive victories! They have only won 11 games so far this season, but they have experienced 6 consecutive victories before! The qualitative change and miracle of the Pistons is unique in the history of this league!

Pacers, Cavaliers, Magic, Kings, Knicks and the Spurs of the previous game! The Pistons swept all their opponents and came to Dallas as a king. 6-game winning streak, this is the first time the Pistons have won a 6-game winning streak in 6 years.

However, the Pistons changed qualitatively not because they traded a certain star, nor because one of them exploded.

The reason for the qualitative change in the Pistons is very simple. It is only because Van Gundy broke the boat and cut at least 26 million contracts in two years after this season. The team's head forward Josh Smith was in his time.

There must be some magic power in this world that cannot be explained by science, creating a series of miracles that go against logic and go beyond convention. And these miracles are precisely the charm of the NBA!

Just prior to December 22, 2014, the Detroit Pistons were the uncompromising team in the NBA. They had lost 17 of the previous 19 games. Compared with the record, their slowness, rust and difficulty on the offensive end make Motor City fans even more desperate. Because in these 19 games, they averaged only 94.8 points per game!

However, overnight, the Pistons changed. They suspended Josh Smith's contract with very extreme means. Such courage and courage shocked the league. But a greater shock soon hit the entire basketball world in the following 12 days. The Pistons who waived Josh Smith had 6 wins and 6 wins in these 12 days, averaging 15 points per game and an average of 107.9 points per game. , In one fell swoop became the league's second longest winning streak this season, the first place is the Mavericks who started 22 consecutive victories!

The climax of this small winning streak is partly due to other factors, and not entirely Smith's departure. But after Smith left, the difference between the team and before is incredible. When people look at the last 6 games of all teams in the league, they find that the Pistons rank second in the league in efficiency at both ends of the court, and rank first in the league in net efficiency! This point even surpassed the Mavericks.

As a representative of the all-around forward in the league, Josh Smith has played 28 games on behalf of the Pistons this season, averaging 13.1 points, 7.2 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.7 blocks per game. But in his game, there are also obvious dark sides. This season, his shooting, three-pointer, and free throw percentages were only 39.1%, 24.3%, and 46.8%, respectively, and his efficiency was horribly low.

After Van Gundy waived him, the Pistons were reborn from the ashes. They have now become one of the most topical teams in the league, and even the San Antonio Spurs are defeated by them. And Josh Smith himself, because of this embarrassing way, is popular in the league!

People say that the top position in the MVP rankings this season should be handed over to Josh Smith. Because it is very likely that even Yiyang could not make such a qualitative change for the Pistons, but Josh Smith did it. He has done something unprecedented in the past, and it is very likely that there will be no one in the future. He transformed a team with a big belly into a team with hopes of entering the playoffs. Although the reason he let the Pistons do all this is to leave.

Josh Smith became the laughingstock of the league. Even the Spurs fans who lost the game were very happy last game, and then followed everyone on the Internet to make Josh Smith jokes.

Josh Smith must now want to blow up the Auburn Hills Palace Stadium, and the popularity of the Josh effect is even comparable to the "Lin Madness" of the year.

But Shelvin Mark is not in the mood to care about this farce. Mark used to be teammates with Josh for a period of time, and he knows that Smith is not a clown in people's mouths. There are other reasons why the Pistons can win.

Brandon Jennings and D.J. Augustine, the outstanding performance of these two Pistons guards in the last six games is the key to the Pistons' miracles. Jennings, Yiyang can treat him well, there is no doubt about that. Four or five years ago, people would still compare Yiyang with Jennings, but this will never happen now. Because the precipitation of time has proved that Jennings and Yiyang are not players of the same level at all.

Jennings has no problem with this, but when Yiyang takes a break, D.J. Augustine will be handed over to Mark.

"Hey, Shelvin, don't be nervous. You treat it as an ordinary game, don't worry, I believe you can quickly integrate into the rhythm of the Mavericks." Before the game, Carlisle also patted Mark's. shoulder.

Just this morning, the major media introduced Shervin to Cuban. This is the evaluation of the signings from the outside world.

Everyone believes that the addition of Shelvin Mark will not affect the strength of the Mavericks. They will not become weaker, but again, they will not become stronger. To put it bluntly, it is still not optimistic that Mark can replace Barea's position.

The score of C is not bad or not, this is everyone’s perception.

Mark naturally saw the news, but he did not agree with this rating. Although his salary is not high, Cuban may not care about the hundreds of thousands of dollars at all. But after last night, Mark has decided that he wants every penny spent by Cuban to be worth the money!

After Carlisle arranged all the tactics, as always, Yu Yiyang led everyone into the arena.

Shelvin Mark is eager to try, following in the footsteps of Yiyang before, he won the NCAA championship. Now continue to follow him, maybe the NBA championship is no problem!

Due to the recent phenomenal performance of the Pistons, the game, which was originally unsuspecting, has become a national live broadcast.

Yiyang has long been accustomed to such big scenes. As the Mavericks become stronger, they play more and more live national games each season.

The opponent just lost Josh's piston. As long as you are cautious, there should be no problem in winning!

The game started soon, and everyone wanted to see if the magical Detroit Pistons could overturn the Mavericks' dominance of the league!

In the opening game, the aggressive Drummond won the first strike for the Pistons. Drummond has always been a very promising center and has been carefully nurtured by the Pistons. His double-double stats of 13 points and 13 rebounds per game this season have allowed him to enter the ranks of the league's first-class insiders.

After Jennings got the ball, he didn't be polite with Yiyang, and directly accelerated his preparation for a surprise attack! Jennings' usage rate has soared to 29% after Smith left, and his true shooting percentage of 67.8% is a key factor in the Pistons' recent consecutive victories.

People say that the once full-potential Jennings is finally about to fulfill his talent. But as soon as it came up, Jennings' talent was rubbed ruthlessly on the ground by Yiyang.

"Brandon Jennings was given to Brandon Jennings as soon as the start of the game! God, he was merciless! He was quick, accurate and ruthless, and he didn't give Jenning at all. Any chance of scoring!"

Just as Mike Brin opened his mouth and shouted, Yiyang made a long pass from the backcourt. Wade acted as the vanguard to launch a fast break, and the Mavericks' offensive and defensive transition was formed in an instant!

On the bench, Mark, who participated in the Mavericks game for the first time, was stunned! Such a smooth offensive and defensive transition rhythm is something he has never seen before in several teams!

Drummond didn't make Wade's fast break too easy. The speed of this big guy was amazing. He strode back to his own half in three steps and two, biting behind Wade. As long as Wade dares to layup rashly, Drummond is bound to give the "Flash" a big risk!

Jennings had just been cheated by Yiyang, and Drummond was very happy to help Jennings get this face back.

Wade glanced behind him, and threw the basketball to the backboard. Drummond leaped sharply, but couldn't reach the basketball at all! Wade throws the ball too high and too heavy. According to this strength and angle, basketball cannot be refracted into the frame!

Who said that Wade wanted to refract basketball into the frame?

The orange Spalding basketball bounced back after hitting the backboard. Behind Drummond, Yiyang came from behind and received a rebounding basketball in the air!

In Drummond's horrified gaze, Yiyang vigorously pushed the ball into the frame with one hand!

"Nice cooperation! Hit the board and take it! Hey, Wade seems to be able to seamlessly connect with all the superstars! It used to be like this with LeBron, and so is He now!"

"Boom!" The audience was restless, and this attack showed Yiyang's ability to the fullest!

After completing the blocked shots, he can catch up with an incredible speed to participate in the fast break, and finally end everything with a rock-shattering dunk.

Not just the fans, but the Mavericks' benches are also full of excitement. Shelvin Mark couldn't help standing up and waving the towel in his hand. Playing with Yiyang on a team, you will never feel boring!

One block and one dunk, Yiyang gave Jennings and the Pistons a slam dunk as soon as he came up. You have been amazing lately, but we have been amazing for a season!

Van Gundy shook his head. If Jennings alone were to attack this game, it would not be able to beat Yiyang. Fortunately, the Pistons are now more than just Jennings.

In the subsequent games, Greg Monroe began to show his magic, he used his more flexible footsteps to repeatedly break through Dirk. But Monroe's soft touch, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com made him avoid head-on with Gobert.

As a result, there are often scenes of Monroe turning his back and passing Dirk, and then suddenly stopping at close range to score a jumper.

Monroe's outstanding performance allowed the Pistons to temporarily stabilize the situation. In the ninth minute of the game, Carlisle began to rotate the lineup.

He didn't rush to let Mark play, but took the lead to send in Devin Harris, who is more familiar with the team.

Unsurprisingly, D.J. Augustine completely controlled the game and led the Pistons' second team to gradually approach the point difference.

In the past, when faced with this situation, Carlisle's only option was to replace Yiyang and increase his playing time in order to suppress the opponent's offense.

But today, he doesn't have to do this, Yiyang can also have a good rest.

"Shelvin!" Seeing Augustine scoring another goal over Harris' head, Carlisle stood up and yelled at Mark.

Mark jumped up, took off his training suit, and tore off his disposable training pants.

"Go on, I don't want to see Augustine score again!" Carlisle's instructions were simple and straightforward.

"Yes!" Mark didn't talk too much nonsense.

"Come on, brother." Yiyang sat on the bench and patted Mark on the ass.

Mark smiled slightly and walked to the technical desk. Although he is not great, although he is just an unknown person. But let Yiyang rest at ease, this is his task!

Sit well, also. Wait until you have enough rest, then go on the court and make a big fuss!

right now? Now, just watch me come quietly!

The Cinderella and fairy tales of the magic piston will end here!
