Unless he comforts himself, he feels like a Sabi.

The more Leon wins now, the more embarrassed Babcock becomes.

Fortunately, on November 18 in New York, the Pistons, who had won 10 consecutive games, finally lost their first game of the season.

Facing the Knicks on the 18th, despite their superior strength, the entire Pistons team actually performed at a high level.

But the touch of the Knicks players is so hot that they can make the ball regardless of whether they are human or ghost.

The Pistons have actually defended a lot of the ball well, but the opponent is just able to score against tight defense. What can you do?

Sprewell and Alan Houston also each had 20 contributions.

In addition to the Knicks' excellent touch, Hamilton's condition on the Pistons side was not quite right today.

At the critical moment, because Li Ang was double-teamed continuously, he always gave the ball to Hamilton.

As a result, Hamilton missed shots in three consecutive rounds and missed opportunities.

Hamilton said that when playing basketball, scoring is actually secondary.

He plays basketball for one purpose: to beat everyone, or to be beaten by everyone here.

No one could have imagined that the Pistons' winning streak would be interrupted in New York.

This defeat also made Li Ang discover that as the team's offensive core, he must find a balance between playing reasonably and playing unreasonably.

In the previous game against the Jazz, Li Ang played reasonably and without rashness, and this was how he broke the double attack of Kirilenko and Malone.

But today against the Knicks, Liang missed a good opportunity because he played too reasonably.

If I had known that Hamilton was so tough, he might as well have been reckless.

As expected, being the core of the offense is not that easy.

Li Ang is also slowly exploring how to become a qualified star player.

After the game, looking at Hamilton who missed all three shots at the critical moment, Li Ang suddenly had a bold idea.

The current Hamilton is not wearing a mask because his nose has not been broken yet, so he has not yet transformed into a masked man.

Li Ang suspected that this guy wouldn't be complete without a mask, so he missed all three shots at the critical moment.

Leon can't do this kind of thing to make Hamilton accurate.

But Li Ang can still do something like breaking Hamilton's nose, and he can do it very well.

"Leon, what are you doing?" At the end of the game, Hamilton tensed up as he watched Li Ang walking towards him while touching his elbow.

"What are you going to do? Let's have a heart-to-heart talk and summarize the experience of failure."

"Don't come over here!"

"Don't run, it won't hurt at all!"

Carlisle looked at Leon and Hamilton chasing each other in the tunnel and shook his head.

Why does this head coach act like a kindergarten principal?

Although they lost, the Pistons' current record of 10 wins and 1 loss still ranks first in the league.

As long as nothing goes wrong next, it won't be difficult to maintain the top spot in the league.

However, it happens that the house leaks and it rains continuously all night. When someone picks it up, even if you buy a Beiyun cover, it will leak, and the next seed will be a gourd baby.

On November 20, in the game against the Bucks, the strong and strong senior brother Ben accidentally sprained his knee when he landed a block.

After my brother was gone, Michael Reed and Ray Allen combined their shooting skills in the backcourt to completely tear apart the Pistons' defense.

The two scored 62 points together to help the team defeat the Pistons at home.

After 10 consecutive victories, the Pistons suffered two consecutive losses, which was a huge ups and downs.

Ben is undoubtedly the most important part of the Pistons' defense, because in Carlisle's defensive system, after the outside pressure, if the opponent breaks through, it all depends on Ben to block shots and control rebounds.

Without Ben alone, the Pistons' defensive system is half broken.

In this game, Michael Reed and Ray Allen used breaking knives to cut their flesh and kill the Pistons.

Of course Li Ang can also protect the frame, but after all, he does not stand at the fifth position and cannot guard the basket anytime and anywhere.

At the press conference after the game, Li Ang praised Ray Allen. That guy is still as difficult to mess with as he was in the playoffs two years ago.

"Apart from Ray Allen, other Bucks players also performed well." At the end of the press conference, Li Ang said politely.

"Like who?"

"For example, Cassel, he sent 7 assists today without making a single mistake. For example, Tim Thomas, after he opened up the space, it was even more detrimental to our defense."

Reed, who was second only to Ray Allen in scoring on the team, shed tears silently.

Why after so many years, I still have no sense of existence, and I still don’t deserve a name...

After this game, the Pistons team was undoubtedly most concerned about Ben's injury.

After examination by the team doctor, although my knee was just a normal sprain, I still needed to be out for about 10 games.

After all, the knee is an extremely critical part for basketball players. If poor recovery leads to a more serious injury next time, it will be worth the loss.

What's more, the Pistons want to make a difference in the playoffs this season.

Then players' health issues need to be taken more seriously.

Ben has missed 10 games, which is undoubtedly adding insult to injury for the Pistons, who have already lost two games in a row.

The media all believe that the Pistons have passed their honeymoon period at the beginning of the season. Next, their record will drop sharply to normal levels.

Li Ang was naturally very unconvinced by such a statement.

But the impact of Ben's injury on the team is indeed obvious.

After the Bucks, the Pistons defeated the Miami Heat, ending their losing streak.

But in this game, the Heat used forced breakthroughs to score in the Pistons penalty area many times.

Turkish center Memit Okur, who is still in his first year, is still a little green on the defensive end. He is originally slow, and the confrontation is not that strong yet. His ability to protect the basket at the basket is not the same as his great ability.

level.

Moreover, the Pistons' defensive system requires not just a rim protector, but a rim protector who can help defend at any time.

It cannot be said that Oku and assisting monsters have nothing to do with each other, it can only be said that they are completely different.

Thanks to the fact that the Heat are a bad team and their hard power is really not flattering. Even if they seize the loopholes, they can't defeat the Pistons. This is how Li Ang ended his losing streak in time.

Although he won the game, Carlisle still saw many problems.

Currently, the Pistons' defensive system is basically paralyzed, and the strategy of winning on defense is no longer applicable.

To stabilize the record in these 10 games, Carlisle must come up with an emergency plan.

After all, you can't always face a bad team every time.

When the Pistons, who started the season with 10 consecutive wins, were in crisis, Mavericks fans in the American Airlines Center in Dallas were about to usher in their 12th consecutive victory of the season!

"Dirk was mismatched against Yao, and this was a battle between two top international players.

I know that many Chinese fans may want to watch Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi face off. But for Yao, Dirk is a more difficult opponent!"

Yao Ming, wearing the Bulls' red No. 11 jersey, stood in front of the blond guy in front of him with open arms.

Before the start of the Bulls vs. Mavericks game, Yao Ming and Yao Ming had a phone call.

Nowitzki basically chatted with Yao Ming on the phone for 10 minutes.

"This German is just as amazing as Li Ang. He has improved so much this season."

Yao Ming is very curious, is there any more magical No. 4 position in the world than Brother Li?

If nothing else, just Brother Li's three threats are unbeatable at the fourth position.

But soon, Yao Ming experienced firsthand how amazing Dirk really was.

Nowitzki stood outside the three-point line and motioned for his teammates to spread out.

Defending against Dirk one-on-one, Xiao Yao couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Nowitzki slowly bent down and made a triple threat step!

"Hmph, these three threats are far from perfect for Brother Li... Ouch!"

Yao Ming was complaining, but Dirk suddenly started and passed by Yao Ming's left.

When Yao Ming turned around and was about to chase him, Nowitzki was already half a body away from Yao Ming!

Yao Ming, who has not yet fully gained weight, has always been very confident in his flexibility.

Last season, he once made O'Neal dizzy with his nimble Shanghai dance steps under the basket.

You know, O'Neal Jr. is already a typical representative of flexibility in the fifth position, but Yao Ming is not inferior to him.

But Nowitzki, if Yao Ming were asked to give him an evaluation, Yao Ming would probably say: He is not an insider at all!

This breakthrough speed, this offensive style, you would believe him if you said he was Tracy McGrady or Yao Ming.
