Chapter 195 Old Brown, I Have 'Just Cause'

Let me explain here at the beginning of the chapter. The Pistons had four consecutive away games in March, but they still had an away game at the end of February, so there was a wave of five consecutive away games. The opponent was not strong, but the degree of grinding was very high.

On March 3, the Pistons came to the famous devil's home stadium "Energy Solution Arena". As soon as they got out of the car, Jazz fans started booing one after another. Some black Jazz fans were still chatting friendly with the Pistons members using black swear words. If it weren't for the security and expensive tickets, Lin Sa had no doubt that they would throw garbage here.

The jazz is located in a remote place, a typical place where troublemakers come out of poor mountains and rivers. Their style has always been iron-blooded, domineering, and unreasonable is their best partner.

The usual pre-match interviews with Old Brown directly rejected the reporter from Salt Lake City. He was afraid that Lin Sa would make a fool of himself, and he was also afraid that Daben and the group could not control themselves and beat up. For this team, Old Brown was also heartbroken.

Not only Old Brown, but Xiao Hua who is far away in the Olympic Tower is also worried. For this game, he has reduced the number of live broadcasts as much as possible, prepared various first aid medicines, and made sure that Mr. Stern will not watch today's game. Xiao Hua turned on the TV with a heart of death.

In pre-game preparations, Brown said that today he is going to have a pure substitute lineup. In fact, this is not what Brown meant, but the voice of the team management. After all, judging from the situation outside, the Jazz are not prepared to let things go well. In case of violence, the team believes that it should try to keep the lineup as complete as possible.

Left and right are banned for fighting, and Detroit's management thinks it's a matter of cards. If it's an old opponent like the Pacers, it's fine if it's an opponent with a high probability of meeting in the playoffs.

To put it bluntly, the management believes that the Pistons are rich now, and there is no need to be touched by poor people like the Jazz.

The style of the Pistons is of course collective opposition, especially Big Ben and Rasheed Wallace, the villains. They have never been afraid of war. They are not the first in the league.

After a confrontation of death stares, Lin Sa got the right to play, on the premise that he promised Old Brown that he would never get hurt.

Old Brown has his own considerations. Of course, he will not admit that he was defeated by Lin Sa's death gaze. In Old Brown's perception, Lin Sa is still a young man who needs to experience some setbacks. Moreover, Lin Sa has no direct conflict with Salt Lake City. Even if there is a problem, he can stop it in time.

The most important thing is that the combination of Lin Sa and Max has not fought a tough battle, and tactics that have not experienced iron and blood should not be put on the stage of the playoffs. Old Brown needs more powerful observation and reference.

Today's climate in Salt Lake City is icy and snowy, their style of play is bursting with iron blood, and their player, Kirilenko, who was born in a fighting nation, is very suitable for this place, which fully illustrates the problem.

At [-]:[-], the game between the Pistons and the Jazz officially started.

The auditorium of the Energy Solutions arena was very irritable today. When Lin Sa led the team out, he found out that the drinks in the auditorium had been replaced with vodka today. The dishes were so drunk. Before the fight started, two spectators were asked to leave the stadium because of throwing things and swearing, and they were reimbursed thousands of dollars directly.

Today's starting combination for the Pistons is Okur's center, Lin Sa's power forward, Max at small forward, Lynch Hunter at shooting guard, and Billups at point guard.

Big Ben and Rasheed Wallace claimed that they were both accidentally injured during a date in the gym, which aroused the imagination of the outside world. After all, it is no news that these two people entered the gym in pairs. The point is, there are often only two of them in the gym.

Brown Sr. succeeded in finding 'just cause'.

Here in Salt Lake City, the starting players have a taste of fresh blood as soon as they come out, Pavlovich, Arroyo, Kirilenko, Collins and Gugliotta.

As soon as this group of people came out, apart from the temporary core of Kirilenko and Arroyo, the common feature of this lineup was... useless.

There is nothing wrong with it, there is no one who can play, and it is not a problem to treat one who can hit people as two.

On the jump ball, Okurby was much more reliable, but after Billups took the ball, the Jazz quickly entered the defensive position. Their defense ability is very good. They are third-rate players, but their first-rate tactics and execution ability are not enough to play against a strong team. Playing against the second team of the Pistons is difficult.

At the beginning, the two teams did not have any high-profile performances. It is purely based on who is strong. In terms of defensive level, both teams have their own unique features. The Pistons' personal defensive ability and formation are more stable. After all, the old Brown is good at this.

Lin Sa is playing power forward today, and the opponent is Kirilenko. Although this guy lacks offensive means, so that he hits two irons at the beginning, he has good physical fitness and a fierce personality.

The scores of the two sides fell into a state of anxiety at the beginning, mainly because they did not have stable scoring points. Kirilenko was hitting the iron, and Lin Sa did not feel good today.

The game had been going on for a long time, and when the Jazz audience was debating whether to refund their tickets, Max found an opportunity to give Lin Sa a pick-and-roll, and Lin Sa gained a breakthrough distance.

Kirilenko was not confused by the two consecutive feints.

Unable to get past Kirilenko's defensive line, and lacking the level of super long-range shooting, Lin Sa could only grit his teeth and choose to pass the ball to Billups.

"Hey, is this your level?" Kirilenko's English sounds even more awkward than Lin Sa's, with a thick and fluffy feel.

This should be regarded as a piece of trash talk, usually Lin Sa doesn't care about this kind of trash talk, but...

The disappointment in Kirilenko's eyes stung Lin Sa. This kid didn't want to interfere with Lin Sa's words. He really thought so, because Lin Sa really couldn't get rid of Kirilenko, and he missed a shot just now. This was Lin Sa's third block this season.

"I thought you guys were amazing." After Kirilenko finished speaking, he followed Collins, who grabbed the rebound, to the Pistons' half court. This time, Kirilenko took the initiative to come over for the outside pass.

However, after several fights, Kirilenko believed in himself more than dead things like tactics and information!
Hitting Lin Sa away with big strides, the gap between his strength and his imagination was huge. Kirilenko passed Lin Sa in one step and rushed inside. Okur and Max didn't expect this scene. They didn't make up the defense in time, and Kirilenko rushed straight to the basket and dunked one on Okur!
Okur was annoyed and pushed Kirilenko who was on the ground. Kirilenko didn't retreat at all, but went forward even more. Compared with fighting, Kirilenko was more fearless.
