Bishop of the Abyss

Chapter 50 50. Deliberate Iron Elbow
Holding the ball through halftime, Nehbar first observed the Pistons' position on the defensive end, and then observed his teammates' running positions on the offensive end.

In fact, the Timberwolves lineup does not take advantage of the offensive end. The Pistons are a team with an overall defensive ability that can reach the top in history.

The starting five, Billups, Prince, Rasheed Wallace and Ben Wallace, have all been selected to the All-Defensive Team. Only Hamilton is the weakest player in the Pistons' defense. .

But the key is that in this game, in order to better mark the "perpetual motion machine" Hamilton, Luke sent Trenton Hassell as the starting shooting guard. He is very offensive and can only play a role on the defensive end. players.

In this way, the Pistons' only flaws on the defensive end are covered up, which makes the Timberwolves very difficult on the offensive end.

Even if the madman ushers in the second spring of his career at this point this season, it will be difficult to gain an advantage when facing the "defensive Durant".

After all, Prince's height and wingspan are really abnormal, coupled with the defensive system Larry Brown created for the Pistons, this directly makes "Little Prince" Prince one of the best defensive strikers in the league today.

Facing the iron-blooded defense with no gaps in the Pistons, the Timberwolves, who had passed the ball several times, still failed to find a chance. In the end, the madman completed a three-pointer at a 45-degree angle on the right.

"boom!"

However, Prince's wingspan is too terrifying. Even if the madman makes a shot first, Prince can interfere with the shot in time, allowing the madman to hit the three-pointer.

Protecting the backcourt rebounds, the Pistons did not immediately promote a counterattack, because the Pistons are one of the teams that least like to play defensive counterattacks this season.

Although the Pistons' defensive efficiency ranks first in the league, the Pistons' offensive efficiency ranks fourth from the bottom in the league.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Pistons rely on defense to win. As long as the Pistons can limit the opponent's score to be lower than their own, the difficulty of scoring is actually not a big deal.

"You should be glad that the person facing you is not me, otherwise you would be lying in the hospital now." Using the gap of the off-ball pick-and-roll, Rasheed Wallace said viciously.

"Shut your mouth, it's a stink!" Trenton Hassell replied not to be outdone while running around with Hamilton.

Trenton Hassell is a very polarized player. On the offensive end, Hassell is like air, and can only play a role in making air cuts to the basket and defensive counterattacks.

But on the defensive end, Hassel is a well-known defensive champion in the league. Although the candy-style defense is difficult to limit a top star like Kobe, it is simply a defensive weapon when facing Hamilton.

At least Luke doesn't have to worry about Hamilton running out of opportunities many times and causing trouble for the Timberwolves on the offensive end.

"boom!"

After the pick-and-roll, Rasheed Wallace, who received a pass from Billups, also tried a shot from beyond the three-point line.

However, this half-open opportunity was still disturbed by Garnett, who quickly returned to defense.

At the same time that Rasheed Wallace scored a three-pointer, Karl Malone and Ben Wallace at the basket started a beastly melee.

Every physical collision of these two most muscular tough guys in the league represents the aesthetics of violence, that is, Karl Malone is now old, and his competitive mind is no longer as inflated as he was when he was young.

Otherwise, Luke has no doubt that Malone and Ben Wallace will both go to the hospital, where Ben is elbowed to the hospital, and Malone is likely to be hugged and thrown to the hospital.

Stuck on Big Ben, Malone struggled to protect the backcourt rebound, and then immediately handed the ball to Nehbar on the side.

Seeing Trenton Hassell running forward, Nehbar threw a long pass, but this scene seemed familiar to Luke off the court.

It seems that Hassel was so active in the fast break in the last match, the same long pass, the same counterattack, but this time Hassel took the lead and directly completed an unguarded two-handed heavy after receiving a pass from Nehbar. buckle!

"As I said, you are a piece of trash! A real piece of trash!" When retreating, Hassell brushed past Rasheed Wallace with a sarcasm on his face.

"Bastard!" "Roaring Tianzun" stared round, looking fierce.

In the next period of time, the defensive actions of the two teams were very strong. Basically, as long as a player attacked the basket, the defense they faced would be pulled and dragged, and at worst, they would suffer from two dark elbows behind their backs.

Originally, the referee would probably turn a blind eye to these hidden defensive actions, because the defensive actions of both sides are very large. If they really want to blow it down, the game will be played intermittently and without any aesthetic feeling.

But at this time, the smell of gunpowder between the Timberwolves and the Pistons can even be seen by the fans, not to mention the three referees on the court.

Therefore, when the Pistons and Timberwolves make bad defensive moves, the referees will be frightened on the court, and fouls will be called very frequently, for fear of accidentally detonating the game.

In this game, the Timberwolves and the Pistons are fighting for defense. Both sides are not very efficient on the offensive end, and they mainly rely on defense to suppress each other.

The only difference is that the Pistons rely on defense, while the Timberwolves are forced to help.

Until halfway through the first quarter, the score between the Timberwolves and the Pistons was only 10:9. Those who didn't know the score thought it was a college team. It was hard to imagine that this was actually a match between two top NBA teams.

"boom!"

As Billups made an emergency stop on the offensive end and missed the mid-range, Garnett, who protected the rebound in the backcourt, immediately held the ball and pushed for a counterattack.

However, the Pistons returned to defense quickly, especially after being hit by the Timberwolves for two consecutive defensive counterattacks, the Pistons became more and more cautious on the defensive end, leaving fewer and fewer opportunities for the Timberwolves.

When the Pistons players were looking for a position on the defensive end, the sharp-eyed madman caught the moment when the Pistons were loose, and directly passed Prince's defense in one step, and went straight to the inside.

However, Ben Wallace has already sat at the basket in advance. After all, in the Pistons' defensive system, Ben only needs to stand near the penalty area. All outside defenses and replacements will be replaced by partner Rasheed Wallace. He is done.

Because Daben's strength lies in his strong body and his daring to fight, but his not-so-great lateral movement speed means that Daben can only act as a King Kong in the penalty area.

Facing Ben Wallace who was standing under the basket in advance, the madman stretched his body's toughness and drew a full bow in the air. It seemed that he wanted to use a dunk to dunk Ben Wallace!
But when the madman passed the defense and went all the way to Huanglong, a fierce light flashed in Da Ben's eyes, and then he directly raised his iron elbow and swung it at the madman's head!
The maniac had already dunked the ball in the air, and his body had no room to adjust.

So Da Ben's iron elbow hit the madman's face fiercely, and the madman who lost his balance instantly fell back straight.

Hearing a "bang", the madman who fell to the ground held his head in pain, and couldn't help but roll left and right on the ground. Obviously, this hit on the madman's head was definitely very strong, without the slightest restraint.

This scene happened too suddenly on the court. After everyone reacted, the referee ran towards this side immediately, and hurriedly pushed the players of the two teams away, for fear that the players of the two teams would break out in a conflict on the court.

But the madman was knocked down by the elbow, and Trenton Hassel was instantly furious, and Hassel kept moving towards Big Ben under the pulling of the referee, and roared with anger on his face, "Fuck! You bastard!".

"You dirty trash who only knows how to use hands! Something is coming at me!"

The appearance of Trenton Hassell did not frighten Da Ben, on the contrary, it made Da Ben become irritable, with a ferocious face without any timidity.

However, seeing Trenton Hassell rushing up, Rasheed Wallace, who had already been unable to bear it for a long time, was naturally not to be outdone, and directly put his body in front of the big itself, "You asked for this! You jumping clown, You'll be next!"
