The NBA started with helping Iverson win the championship

Chapter 122 Playing dirty?I can do it too

The second quarter begins.

Li Xun was surprised to find that Woodson had changed the Eagles' lineup.

Zaza was taken on the court and formed an inside partner with Horford.

Marvin Williams was replaced, and the other three remained unchanged.

Li Xun couldn't help becoming alert.

Brown is the head coach, usually ruthless.

They usually have at least one player on their team who does the dirty work.

For example, the current Eagles, the future Bucks, and even Popovich's Spurs.

Popovich is not a spotless white lotus. The Spurs are because of Duncan, so many people love their houses and ignore the dark side of their team.

Needless to say, Uncle Bao, Tiancan kicked Szczerbiak's head, which is also a classic scene in NBA history.

Carter is notorious for stepping up three times.

McGrady, Kobe, Ray Allen, Francis, Crawford, Iverson, knee on Nash's crotch, Stoudemire's ankle.

Absolutely can be called too many books.

Especially in the 07 playoffs, Robert Horry of the Spurs fouled Nash maliciously, knocking Nash out and falling onto the billboard.

Although Horry was suspended for two games, the core of the Suns Stoudemire and Diaw were also suspended for one game.

This also ruined Nash's hope of winning a career.

After the Spurs won the Suns in disgrace that year, they eliminated the Jazz 4:1 in the Western Conference Finals and swept the Cavaliers 4:0 in the Finals.

It is reasonable to say that if the Suns face the Jazz and Cavaliers, they can also win.

If it weren't for Duncan's impeccable and perfect player, the Spurs would have been hacked long ago.

Seeing Woodson start Zaza in the second quarter, Li Xun thought with his big toe, and he could guess what bad idea Woodson was playing.

Li Xun had no choice but to call a timeout and replace himself after playing.

Woodson is not a fool. In that case, Zaza estimates that the next game will have to play a full 48 minutes.

The only thing Li Xun can do now is to be as careful as possible.

Game start.

The inside partner formed by Zaza and Horford has completely exceeded Woodson's expectations.

Although Li Xun still has some advantages in rebounding, the advantages are already negligible.

On the one hand, Zaza's offensive rebounding strength is really good. In the 05-06 season, he won the league's offensive rebounding title.

On the other hand, Li Xun was a little restrained.

At the juncture of the playoffs, injuries are not a joke. Once Li Xun is injured, the Pistons will also be finished.

Whether it's for himself or for the Pistons, Li Xun must protect himself as much as possible.

After playing for 2 minutes, the two sides almost reached a draw during this time.

This also gave Woodson hope of winning.

"Snapped!"

Li Xun blocked Josh Smith once again, and his personal block data has risen to five.

It's a pity that this block was picked up by Bibby. He retreated beyond the three-point line and hit a three-pointer.

Turning his head, Rashid immediately responded, and also hit a three-pointer from the outside.

Rasheed's three-pointer tonight was a little bit more accurate, completely beyond his normal level.

In the first quarter, he was already 7 of 3 three-pointers. Not long after the second quarter, he had already scored two three-pointers.

The game passed minute by minute.

Relying on Rasheed's outstanding performance, at the end of the first half, the Pistons still held a 14-point lead.

"It turns out that shooting three-pointers is so comfortable."

"When Big Ben was around, I should have practiced more three-pointers."

Rashid smacked his lips, satisfied with his performance in the first half.

14 of 7, up to [-]% of the three-pointers, plus two free throws scored.

In the first half alone, Rashid scored 23 points.

He is not the kind of player with a strong scoring ability, and the highest score in a single game in the playoffs is only 34 points.

That goes back to the days of the Portland Jails.

After coming to the Pistons, his highest score in a single game in the playoffs was only 29 points.

Who would have thought that they would easily score 23 points in the first half tonight.

It's really easy.

Almost nothing to do, just shoot the ball.

Iverson was in a bit of a slump, and he felt pretty bad tonight.

Of the 8 three-point shots, only 2 were hit.

"Rashid, be careful with that Zaza."

Li Xun couldn't help reminding him.

Rashid played so well, it is very likely that Zaza will be targeted.

"Watch out for him?"

"Li, that guy looks like a little boy who eats soft food."

Rashid said disdainfully.

Zaza looked harmless to humans and animals, and Rashid didn't take him seriously at all.

"No, that guy is dangerous."

"Remember, in front of him, you must not take off without reservation."

Li Xun didn't want to see the scene where Rashid was injured.

Now the Pistons are already short of major generals, especially the lack of three-pointers. If Rasheed is also injured, it will be too uncomfortable.

Seeing Li Xun's serious expression, Rashid could only shrug his shoulders.

"Okay, I see."

"You boy is sometimes a savage, and sometimes you are overly cautious."

……

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Rashid still continued the fiery touch of the first half.

After playing for half a quarter, even though Li Xun had little advantage on the rebounding end, relying on Rasheed's fiery touch, they were still widening the point difference.

Eagles' offensive round.

The bitter Josh Smith broke through the basket and was slapped by Li Xun again.

He has contributed five blocks to Li Xun alone tonight.

Iverson picked up the ball and began to lead the team to counterattack.

He didn't dare to shoot in the frontcourt, because the hand feeling tonight was really bad.

The ball was given to Rashid.

Rashid looked relaxed, there was no one in front of him, the ball was completely open.

Can this still score? !
Jumping high, the iconic straight-arm shot, the ball was thrown out.

This kind of wide open shot, Rasheed has absolute confidence to hit.

At this moment, Zaza rushed towards the leaping Rashid.

Li Xun was shocked, knowing that something was wrong.

Rashid has already shot the ball, and Zaza has no possibility of blocking the shot when he rushes over.

Then there is only one explanation, this guy is not rushing to defend at all.

Li Xun wanted to remind him aloud, but there was no time in the blink of an eye.

Zaza stretched out his right arm and rushed in Rashid's direction.

The moment Rashid landed, his right foot took a step forward in a concealed manner.

It was this small step that made Rashid step on his feet directly.

"boom!"

Rasheed fell, hitting the floor hard.

If it is a young perimeter player like Afflalo, this level of stepping will actually have little impact.

The chance of Afflalo being injured will not exceed [-]%.

But on the taller, heavier and older Rashid, the footsteps are quite lethal.

Li Xun was so anxious that he hurriedly ran towards Rashid who had landed.

He wanted to see how Rashid was doing.

Rashid, who was lying on the floor, looked livid.

The pain is not very painful, he is angry.

Li Xun reminded himself, but in the end he didn't take Zaza seriously, and finally got tricked.

Seeing Li Xun running over angrily, Rashid quickly took Li Xun's hand.

"Li, don't be impulsive."

"We're counting on you for the playoffs."

"Don't be impulsive!"

Old Rashid had probably never been more sane in his life.

Li Xun didn't want Rashid to worry, so he put away his angry expression and said calmly.

"Old man, I'm not as reckless as you think."

"If you play dirty, I will too."

Li Xun lowered his voice and patted Rashid on the shoulder.
