Chapter 475 This is a tricky game

Artest's mentality exploded when he walked off the court.

He now feels that Lin Sa came to the NBA to play against him, as long as they meet, nothing good will happen.

Carlisle noticed Artest's abnormality, but in this case, it is not necessarily a bad thing. Artest is in a very good state this year, and may even be better than Lin Sa from Carlisle's point of view.

When Lin Sa played on the Pistons side, Artest's performance began to be abnormal. Carlisle believed that this was caused by psychological factors. At this time, it is better to be relieved than to block. Although Carlisle hates Artest, as a head coach, he is a professional and will not abandon the public for personal reasons at this time.

In the second quarter, Carlisle did not replace Artest, but repeatedly warned the beast, pay attention to mentality!
However, at this time, Carlisle didn't notice that Wu Sheng was a little bit dissatisfied. In the first quarter, Wu Sheng's performance was no worse than Artest's, and he made fewer mistakes. Artest made two turnovers in a single quarter and Jiang Jiang's 57% hit rate, while Wu Sheng finished the first quarter with a [-]% hit rate.

At this time, if Carlisle asked Artest to take a break and take it easy, even if he didn't give Wu Sheng the right to attack, he would understand. However, Carlisle had an obvious preference. He didn't replace Artest and gave him more ball rights!
If Xiao Ao and others know Wu Sheng's thoughts, they will definitely show him last year's video, preference?Last year, the two almost got into a fight.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Karl Malone, Max, Lin Sa, Hamilton and Billups, Ben and Livingston, the main players on the Pistons side, both entered the rest area. Ben took an occasional rest, while Livingston would basically wait until the fourth quarter or at a critical moment before reappearing. After all, he didn’t have much time left.

Old Brown had explicitly prohibited Livingston from emptying his body. The knife was most powerful when it was not out of its sheath.

O'Neal, David Harris, Artest, Wu Sheng and Harrington played on the Pacers side.

Harris is a large center with a height of 2 meters. Carlisle replaced him to further strengthen the inside defense. Seeing Artest's teddy-like eyes and the slight unwillingness in Wu Sheng's eyes, Lin Sa felt that the previous preparations could work!

Wu Sheng played the soul data in the first quarter, not because he is stronger, but because the Pistons are consciously letting Wu Sheng attack!
Artest is cheating on himself this year, and no one can take him out, but Wu Sheng is actually a line behind Artest in strength. The degree will not be too much, but the distance is not much, which is the gap between the All-Star and the ordinary star, and the gap between the top newcomer and the middle class.

Wu Sheng entered the Pacers starting this season, averaging 9.6 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 block and 1 turnover per game. The statistics are mediocre, which is a half of what he did when he was in the Hawks.

In the NBA, no matter where you go, someone will cooperate with you and treat you like a baby. The record and momentum are all counted by playing!

Lin Sa entered the confrontation with Artest, and Max's younger brother on the side nodded secretly to the boss. He went to defend the martial arts saint, and he knew what he should do.

Carlisle sat on the sidelines, watched the progress of the game, and felt that there was an indescribable awkwardness. He couldn't see where the awkwardness was, but it was very awkward.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Artest still fell short of the standard, and Lin Sa's chattering was really annoying, so that Artest threw another five-for-one at the beginning, but in terms of score, the Pacers did not fall behind. When Artest kept hitting the iron, Wu Sheng's offensive effect was directly maximized.

In the five-for-one and six-for-one games, when everyone kept hitting the basket, only Lin Sa and Wu Sheng had a shooting percentage of around [-]%.

It's not unusual for Lin Sa, the whole team stretches out to play for him alone, Lin Sa himself is a star who is good at attacking ability, it's not surprising to get high scores and high efficiency, but Martial Saint...

Carlisle's sideline commander announced a defense change, and Max faced Artest.

Very sensitive, noticed?
Lin Sa glanced at Carlisle furiously. Max’s younger brother looked young, and he was a little bit more watery, so Carlisle, an old cannon, could see it.

As soon as the defense was switched, the scene changed immediately.

Speaking of it, Lin Sa has gradually entered a disadvantage. Wu Sheng's defense is very good, sticking to Lin Sa, which played a very good restrictive effect, defending Lin Sa's three-for-one, and although Lin Sa is working hard, he seems to be more efficient than Max, but he still can't stop Wu Sheng from scoring!
As for the Pacers' head star, Artest, also known as Taizi, he is about to explode now.

This guy Max is really annoying. Max's physical fitness, scoring ability, and even defensive reading are not as good as Lin Sa, but he is annoying. It's a real crime. He sticks to his arm and elbows for a while. All his movements are not evil or hurt, but it's disgusting, which is outrageous!
Under such an environment, Artest's scoring continued to fall into the water!

Lin Sa, the script master, showed a satisfied smile. The script was going according to what he wrote. Although Carlisle seemed to notice something, the impact was not great.

Halfway through the second quarter, the Pistons led by 3 points and entered a timeout.

On the side of the Pacers, Carlisle was arranging tactics. Originally, Wu Sheng thought that he could finally get more possessions this time, because now Wu Sheng has scored 14 points and 3 rebounds, which makes Wu Sheng think that he can do it. On the court, he still has the hard power to maintain his dominance.

But, as great as the hope, as great as the disappointment.

Carlisle still asked Artest to do the first round of offense, but just emphasized that if Lin Sa couldn't be touched, he would pass the ball out.

Isn't this an implicit way of throwing the pot away?

Wu Sheng is angry. Why, everyone is the same type of player. In one and a half quarters, Artest makes mistakes while hitting the iron, occupying most of the ball and only 10 points. As for himself, he has been taking the blame, filling in the omissions, and even defending the opponent's top scorer. Even so, he still has 14 points, why can't he attack! ?
It's up to you Artest to come early! ?

Enduring this tone, Wu Sheng really became more and more angry.

The timeout ends and the two sides return to the battlefield.

The Pacers' offensive center of gravity remains the same, and there is only one ball. When Artest continues to attack, Wu Sheng naturally has no ball to play, and Lin Sa seems to be a thief, always preventing Wu Sheng from taking the pot.
