Chapter 473 Auburn Hills Palace II

The time came to 04:11 pm on November 19, 6. The head referee and the two assistant referees had a very serious communication about tonight's call, calling for the two teams to start the game.

The Pistons started with Ben Wallace, Karl Malone, Max, Billups, and Livingston. Hamilton and Lin Sa were pushed to the bench and waved towels.

The Pistons did not have Lin Sa in the starting lineup, and the boos on the scene were immediately turned up to the maximum decibel.

On the Pacers side, the starting players are Jermaine O'Neill, Wu Sheng, Artest, Jamal Tinsley and Harrington at point guard.

This season, although due to Lin Sa's little wings, Harrington has not left so far.

But the relationship with the Pacers is not as good as last year. To put it bluntly, the point guard's style of play needs to be matched with the outside line, and now the Pacers' outside line is really ventilated like a little padded jacket, which makes Harrington, who is not a scoring type of point guard, restrained everywhere.

If this continues, Harrington even doubts whether he can get a big contract.

Compared with the Pistons, who are united and united, this season, although the Pacers are strong and strong, they have a lot of internal and external troubles. I don't know if Carlisle is unlucky. Every time he has a little hope of winning the championship, he seems to encounter all kinds of miscellaneous things.

Ben Wallace and Jermaine O'Neal came to the middle circle to jump the ball.

This time, Da Ben's eyes seemed to be on fire. Artest's slap before the game was a real slap in the face. As Da Ben's number one younger brother, Lin Sa pushed him in front of me! ?

Warriors need the addition of anger BUFF. This time, the boss did not miss the jump ball, but suppressed O'Neal, who was half a head taller than him, and shot the ball towards him.

This caused the headquarters staff who had already done the retreat work to fall into a turmoil. Daben ran towards the inside line of the Pacers alone. His already dark face became even darker as if the bottom of the pot. Daben felt that he was offended!

Do you look down on my jump ball like this!
Livingston received the ball, controlled the rhythm and began to advance forward. Unlike Billups, Livingston is more aggressive and plays the ball more aggressively. Although the basic skills and rhythm control are not as good as Billups, Livingston's natural spirituality and basket skills can make up for it.

If it was a weaker team, Livingston's wave of organizational attacks might be a direct score.

But the Pacers retreated very quickly and rhythmically. The Pistons were already a beat behind. When Livingston arrived, the Pacers had already begun to shrink.

This defense is really a toothache!
Livingston had a feeling of playing against the Pistons' 1st division team during practice, and that group of big guys defended like this.

The Pacers and Pistons are strong contenders for the lowest points allowed per game this year. Although their scoring average is only around 90 points per game, both teams are at the bottom of the league. Not to mention the second brother, but when it comes to defense, the Pistons allowed 92 points per game this season and the Pacers 89, ranking first and third respectively.

Playing, you may not be able to score, but you don't want to score easily, which is the current situation of these two teams.

The Pistons and the Pacers have sufficient combat experience. After all, they are old rivals, so they did not advance aggressively. However, Livingston is now in a state of a newborn calf. Facing Harrington who is defending, he actually wants to change his rhythm and fight hard.

Max and Billups wanted to support, but they were immediately blocked by Artest and Wu Sheng respectively.

Little brother Max has now developed tendons under the leadership of two muscular big men (Big Ben and Malone), but standing with Artest, who is known as a little beast, then, it can only be hehe.

The fact that the helper was blocked did not reduce Livingston's enthusiasm, but instead made the kid fight even more.

Then, he was decisively blocked by Harrington and hit the iron.

What Lin Sa watched from the sidelines was a toothache. Livingston was really eager to learn because of his talent. He was almost killed by Billups during the team practice. Now that he played, his memory didn't improve at all.

The Pacers attacked. Originally, Artest wanted to play one by himself, but today he was indeed a bit ruthless by the Pistons, especially Max. Artest with a small elbow was very uncomfortable. Artest was not afraid of Malone or Max, but he considered himself an All-Star player, a star, and the boss of the Pacers. Max and Malone, the old and the young, were not on the same level.

Therefore, Artest gave Harrington the ball, ready to save his energy and elbows to treat Lin Sa to a full meal.

This time Harrington was guarded by Billups. Harrington would not take advantage of this new top point guard known for his big heart.

As an old opponent, Harrington is well aware of the defensive level of the Pistons. Excluding that brat just now, everyone's playing skills are similar.

After more than ten seconds, Harrington threw the ball to Wu Sheng before the audience fell asleep.

Malone is marking Artest now. This old guy has too much experience, and Harrington's passing route is very limited. Even if the ball arrives, it will be difficult for Artest to attack comfortably.

Wu Sheng received the ball. In fact, for the Pacers, Wu Sheng is mostly doing some blue-collar work, and the priority of attacking the basket is very low. There is still time. According to tactics, Wu Sheng should pull the personnel away, and then find a way to let Xiao Ao play, but what?

Think about the interaction with Lin Sa before the game, and the first time the two met, the offense that had worked hard. Back then, Wu Sheng was also the league's top forward scorer with an average of 18 points per game.

Look at Max's little elbow again.

Wu Sheng beat Max hard, and then came a mid-range shot!
This ball is technically impeccable, but Max's masters are Billups and Karl Malone. What are their common characteristics?
That's right, dirty.

The moment Wu Sheng took off, Max made a very covert interference. To put it bluntly, he just pushed Wu Sheng lightly.

This kind of movement, if it is too vigorous, it is called a criminal, and if it is well controlled, it is interference.

Don't underestimate this small move. Most NBA players have an independent scoring rhythm, which can be said to be tempered. However, in this rhythm, as long as a little effective damage is given, it will affect the final result of the shot.

Wu Sheng's shot is iron!

The rebound was caught by Big Ben, and the Pistons and the Pacers exchanged a wave, but neither of them hit.
