Chapter 472 The Palace of Auburn Hills II
It was 6 p.m. on November 19, 2004. The referee communicated with the two vice referees seriously about the call tonight, calling on both teams to start.
The Pistons started the game with Ben Wallace, Karl Malone, Max, Billups and Livingston, Hamilton and Lin Sa were pressed to the bench and waved the towel. The scale tonight would not be loose, and the Pacers were also full of maliciousness. Old Brown wanted to press down his family affairs first to ease it.
The Pistons' starting lineup was not Lin Sa, and the booing at the scene was immediately raised to the maximum decibels.
The Pacers made their debut, and the starters were O'O, Wushu, Artest, Jamaltinsley and Harrington, who was in the point guard.
This season, although due to Lin Sa's small wings, Harrington has not yet left.
However, the relationship with the Pacers is not as good as last year. To put it bluntly, the point guard's playing style needs to be matched with the outside line. Now the Pacers' outside line is really like a small cotton jacket, which makes Harrington's point guard who is not a scoring type play everywhere.
If this continues, Harrington even doubts whether he can get a big contract.
Compared with the Pistons, which united as one, this season, although the Pacers are strong, they have many internal and external troubles. I don’t know if it’s Carlisle’s unlucky. Every time he has a little hope of winning the championship, he seems to be able to encounter all kinds of messy things.
Ben Wallace and O'Neal Jr. came to the middle circle to jump.
This time, Big Ben's eyes seemed to be on fire. Before the game, Atai slapped him in the face. Lin Sa, as Big Ben's number one brother, would you push him in front of me!?
The warrior needs the bonus of the angry buff. This time, the boss did not miss the ball but suppressed O'Neal, who was half a head taller than him, and pushed the racket towards him.
This caused the troops of the headquarters who had already done their defense to retreat and fell into a mess. Da Ben ran to the inside of the Pacers alone, and his already dark face was even darker as if the bottom of the pot. Da Ben felt that he was offended!
Do you just look down on my jump ball so much?
When Livingston received the ball, he controlled the rhythm and began to advance towards the front court. Livingston was different from Billups. He was more enterprising and the ball was more aggressive. Although his basic skills and rhythm control were not as good as Billups, Livingston's talented spirituality and skill ability could make up for it.
If it is a weaker team, Livingston's organizational attack might be a direct score.
However, the Pacers' retreat was very fast and rhythmic, and the pistons were already a beat behind. When Livingston arrived, the Pacers had already begun to shrink all their members.
This defense is so fucking painful!
Livingston has the feeling of playing the Pistons 1 team when practicing in the team. The big guys defended this way.
The Pacers and the Pistons are both strong contenders with the lowest points per game this year. Although their average score is only around 90 points, both teams are at the bottom of the league. Big brother, let alone second brother, but they have to talk about defense. The Pistons averaged 92 points per game this season, and Pacers 89, ranking first and third respectively.
You may not be able to score when playing basketball, but you don’t want to score easily. It’s the current situation of these two teams.
The Pistons and the Pacers have sufficient combat experience. After all, they are old opponents, so they did not make a rash move. However, Livingston is now in a state of a newborn calf. Facing Harrington who is defending, he actually wants to use rhythm change to fight.
Max and Billups wanted to support, but were immediately blocked by Ate and Martial Saint respectively.
Brother Max has now trained tendon meat under the leadership of two muscle bigwigs (Ba Ben and Ma Long), but standing with Ate, who is known as a little beast, can only be hehe.
The blocking of the helper did not reduce Livingston's enthusiasm, but instead made the child even more fight.
Then, Harrington was decisively stuck in the attack and hit the iron.
Lin Sa watched the scene with a toothache. Livingston was really good at learning and not being good at learning. He was almost killed by Billups when he practiced in the team. He was on the court and had no memory at all.
The Pacers' offense, Arte originally wanted to play one by himself, but today he was indeed a bit harshly guarded by the Pistons, especially Max, who was very uncomfortable with the little elbow. Arte was not afraid of Malone or Max, but he considered himself an All-Star player, a star, and the Pacers' boss, and Max and Malone, both old and young, are not on the same level.
So, Atei gave Harrington the ball and prepared to keep his energy and elbow to invite Lin Sa to have a full meal.
This time, Harrington was guarding Harrington and he would not take advantage of this new top point guard who is known for his big heart.
As an old opponent, Harrington knew the Pistons' defense level very well. Excluding the little kid just now, everyone's playing skills are similar. They can only be water-muggling. It's not about who scores more goals, but about who is more iron and who is more powerful. The less wins.
After dragging for more than ten seconds, Harrington threw the ball to the Martial Saint before the audience fell asleep.
The one who is guarding Artest now is Malone. This old guy has too much experience and Kaharlington's passing route is very extreme. Even if the ball comes, it will be difficult for Arte to attack comfortably. Relatively speaking, Max, who had just changed defense, was better when he faced the Martial Saint.
When the Martial Saint received the ball, in fact, the Pacers are now positioned. Most of the Martial Saint students are doing some blue-collar work, and the priority of attacking the basket is very low. Now there is still time. According to tactics, the Martial Saint should pull the personnel apart and then find a way to let Xiao Ao fight, but what?
Think about the interaction with Lin Sa before the game, the first time they met, the offense that had worked hard, and then, Wu Sheng was also a top forward scorer in the league who averaged 18 points per game.
Let's take a look at Max's little elbow.
The Martial Saint hit Max with a hard hit, and then made a mid-range shot!
The ball is impeccable in its technical movements, but Max's masters are Billups and Karl Malone. What are their common characteristics?
That's right, dirty.
The moment the Martial Saint took off, Max was very secretly disturbed by the body. To put it bluntly, he pushed the Martial Saint and let it go.
This kind of action is called a vicious offender if it is too strong. If it is controlled well, it means interference.
Don't underestimate this small move. Most of the NBA players have independent scoring rhythms, which can be said to be a lot of training. However, in this rhythm, as long as a little effective damage is given, it will affect the final result of the shooting.
The Martial Saint's ball is iron!
