Chapter 66 Stanky's Ambition

In the last few minutes, the Pistons were led by Stanky. At the end of the third quarter, the Pistons were eight points behind from Iverson to only two points behind, which was really surprising.

"It's incredible. Eighty to seventy-eight, the Pistons successfully caught up with the score, and it caught up without Iverson. Will the Pistons be better without Iverson?" Barkley said in shock.

"Well, this situation undoubtedly makes many people turn their eyes to Iverson, and they can't help but suspect it, but can Iverson get through this?" Kenny Smith paused and said, "When Iverson was seventy-six years old, he did not want to be independent, but must be independent, because no one else can help him except him, so he is alone in the eyes of others, but now, alas"

"What now? You've finished your words. Why don't you say half of it?" Barkley's tone was slightly dissatisfied.

However, Kenny Smith, who was sitting beside him, didn't care, but said with a smile, "The current Iverson is no longer the omnipotent answer. Maybe there can be many such performances, but it will definitely not last for the whole season. Look at the substitute defender named Stanki, who will pose a great threat to Iverson now. At least this period is his battle of proof, so that the Pistons are only two points behind from eight points behind. In contrast, alas.

Although Kenny Smith didn't say everything in his heart, Barkley understood, but Barkley didn't say anything and could only sigh helplessly in his heart.

Huang Jun looked at the lonely figure on the bench of the other party and couldn't help sighing for him. He didn't know why he sighed. Maybe it was like this, maybe it was like that, and he didn't know what it was like.

And the fourth quarter is the most critical section of the game, that is, the decisive battle. Whoever loses and who wins depends on the performance of the fourth quarter. The lead in the first three quarters is floating clouds, and only the lead at the last moment of the last quarter is the king.

In the fourth quarter, neither side has changed the lineup on the field. The meaning is very clear that they hope that the semi-substitute semi-starting lineup on the field can withstand the opponent's attack in the next few minutes, and then wait for the team's real ace to play the final battle moment of the game, and the last moment. In addition to whether the heart is big or not, you also need to have enough physical ability to complete each critical attack.

So the head coach of the Pistons and the Cavaliers did not replace their ace superstar players ahead of schedule.

As soon as Stanki came up, he took the ball and used the cover to kill directly to the inside line of the knights. Asik moved a step up directly from the inside line and was ready to defend Stanki, who was breaking through to the inside line.

Stankey only saw a positive breakthrough and looked at Asik in front of him face to face. There was no fear on his face. Although Asik was very tall, he was just tall in his eyes. He was not a super center like shark O'Neal, so it was obvious that Asik wanted to bring him a sense of fear. It's impossible.

When he was still one step away from Asik, Stanki jumped directly with the ball and prepared to go to the basket. Naturally, it was impossible for Asik to watch him go to the basket without any action. This is obviously impossible.

When Stanki moved, Asik also moved, but the movement speed under Asik's feet was really much different from Stanki, and there was not even any comparability.

Stankee chose a three-step slow layup at this time, so Asik can make up for the defense in time, but will Stanki's layup be so simple?

The time of three steps was very fast, so when Stanki was about to take a layup, Asik also jumped high. Seeing the jumping Asek, the corners of Stanki's mouth raised a curvature, but Asik did not find that he slapped Stanki's hand without any hesitation.

Stankey dodged directly in the air and raised the hand he shot, and Asik also slapped on this hand in the next moment. Seeing this, Stankey threw the ball directly from Asik's armpit and hit the board. At the same time, the referee's whistle also sounded. This was a two-plus one, and the fourth quarter was just opened. At the beginning, Stanky created a two-plus-one opponent. As long as he added a penalty shot, he successfully overtook the score.

Stankey, standing on the free throw line, threw the ball out very steadily. The ball did not hit unexpectedly. As a defender, his shooting rate in the free throw is still very stable.

The Pistons finally successfully overtook the score, and it was overtaken in the time of the role players. It can be said that it was not easy.

The Cavaliers are not depressed because of this attack. For them, the game has just begun and the real game has begun.

Gibson held the ball and quickly pushed the ball into the half, and passed it directly to Szebiak, who had been standing on the outside line for a long time. He did not choose to shoot, but passed it to West, who was also on the outside line.

West, who received the ball, took a direct step and stopped the mid-range jump shot, but it may be that West was in a hurry or the shooting felt not so good that the ball did not hit.

However, Asik under the basket has been stuck for a long time. He pressed McDace to grab the offensive rebound directly. Then he shook and successfully cheated McDace, who had just failed to grab the rebound. Asik directly scored under the basket without any pressure.

The false shaking just now undoubtedly proves that Asik has made great progress during this period. If it had been in the past, it would have been rare, or he would not have seen Asik's smart play at all.

Stankey came back with the ball and came directly with a mid-range emergency stop jumper, but like West just now, he did not hit the ball. However, unlike just now, this rebound did not become the offensive rebound of the Pistons, but was grabbed by Asik. Asik, who grabbed the rebound, directly directed the ball towards Throw it off at half.

At this time, the closest to the pass in the air is Gibson. Gibson looked at the trajectory of the ball in the air and accelerated to the front court. The ball passed very well, and there was no powerful passing out of bounds.

Gibson successfully received the pass near the free throw line, and directly followed the opportunity to make a three-step layup and successfully scored the ball. The Cavaliers led the Pistons by three points, scoring two goals in a row, regaining the lead, and suppressing the Pistons' morale a little. It was not as sufficient as the previous morale as before. .

The Pistons finally managed to overtake the score. Before it was maintained for 20 seconds, it was overtaken by you, and then you counterattacked to further widen the gap. Everyone will have more or less emotional changes.

"It's a pity that the Pistons couldn't hold it, and it was overtaken by the knight again. Just now, I was wondering if the Pistons would end the knight's face. It just gave me hope and it was shattered again." Kenny Smith said with a little disappointment.

"Ha ha, Smith. Now do you think who is still the Pistons? Now the Cavaliers are three points ahead, and there is no advantage at all. Barkley said.

"As long as Iverson is present, I will support the Pistons. If the head coach of the Pistons in the last quarter put Iverson on the bench because of Stanki's excellent performance, I will support the Cavaliers," Kenny Smith said, looking at Iverson on the bench.

The meaning is very clear, that is, he supports Iverson, and Smith is a fan of Iverson?

Barkley looked at Smith blankly, but didn't say anything. He turned his head and then turned his eyes to the field.

There was no disappointment or anything on Stanki's face. Obviously, what happened just now did not crush his confidence, not at all.

Looking at Gibson defending himself, Stanki said to himself, "If I can be ahead of you once, it is naturally possible to lead next. Iverson's era of you has passed. Now I just need to prove that I am better than you now."

Sure enough, there is some dissatisfaction with Iverson.

Stanki, who returned to God, directly rushed to the inside line. Gibson was not his opponent at all in terms of strength, so he dared to go to the inside line so directly. If Huang Jun defended him, 80% would not dare to break through Huang Jun like this. It was in front of Gibson that he dared to do this.

Sure enough, Gibson could not withstand Stanki's strong thrust. He directly took a step away and separated the defensive center. Seeing this, Stanky accelerated the direct strong thrust again. When will it take if he doesn't accelerate at this time?

Sure enough, the result was as Stanki imagined, without any accident passing Gibson's defense, and then directly into his heart. In the face of Landry's defense, there was no unexpected look on his face, as if all of this was in his imagination, and everything was carried out in his plan.

Jumping high, Landry naturally can't stand on the ground without jumping up the cover or something. That's not his style. If he really does this, it will be him in the next moment.

So Landry also jumped high, and his bounce was not low. He jumped higher than Stankey in the air. With his height and outstanding bounce, Landry could defend the ball and prove himself at the same time. The joining of Asik and Davis this season gave him a sense of crisis.

He has always wanted to keep his current starting status. He can see Asik's recent performance. As for Brandon Davis, who has performed very well in the summer league, his recent performance is also excellent, so Landry needs to prove his opportunity. Otherwise, this start will be dangerous, and it will be an unstable start.
