I just want to lie down and win

Chapter 107 Black Whistle?Basketball doesn't lie! (4000, please subscribe)

On January 1, the Pistons and their team rushed to Boston to visit the TD North Shore Garden Arena.

The next game will also be Rasheed Wallace's first regular season game for the Pistons.

It is worth mentioning that, considering the respect for Rasheed Wallace, an All-Star player, as a rookie in the team, Huo Song took the initiative to give up his starting position.

Next, Huo Song's main task is to lead the team's second team. After all, some middle-class veterans have been traded, and the Pistons' bench strength has dropped a lot.

Although two more basic-salary players have been added, the time for the basic-salary players to come is still early, and it remains to be tested how well they can perform.

The Pistons traded for Rasheed Wallace for the playoffs, for the Finals.

But that doesn't mean sacrificing the regular season.

The Pistons need to continue to win the regular season, so there must be a head player to lead the bench to play.

Of course, the lineup is still being tested.

If Rasheed Wallace does not play well enough as the team's starter, no matter how polite Huo Song is, the team will mention Huo Song to the starting lineup and let others bring the substitutes.

It is said that Huo Song will no longer start, and the starting order of the Pistons has also been adjusted.

The Celtics are okay, they have no intention of targeting the Pistons and changing the Pistons' roster.

When the players came on the field, Hamilton was the first to land on the field, followed by Billups and Rasheed Wallace, Prince was the rest, and Big Ben was still the last to appear on the field.

Next, the home team came on stage, and it was still Pierce who played the big axis.

Ricky Davis is still missing from the Celtics' starting lineup. In fact, Ricky Davis played well for the Celtics, but he was a stabbing attribute and failed to start.

It can only be used as a substitute for Pierce. When Pierce is not performing well, he can take control of the ball and play for a while.

Closer to home, Rasheed Wallace played power forward before, but now he is playing center instead of Huo Song, and his performance is not bad.

In the jump ball session, Rasheed Wallace gave full play to his height and wingspan advantage to help the Pistons jump the ball.

Billups will also come, and the first ball is directly handed over to Rasheed Wallace.

Rasheed Wallace's low post play is quite wonderful, which can be called a textbook professional.

Coupled with the straight-arm shot with a very high release point, few people in the league can defend Rasheed Wallace's shot.

Usually, Rasheed Wallace plays in the low post, and whether he can score or not depends entirely on his own ability and touch, and it is extremely rare for him to be interfered.

However, after coming to the Pistons, Rasheed Wallace will not be double-teamed by other teams' strikers as before.

Hamilton deliberately ran away from Rasheed Wallace after he received the ball, and then followed the three-point line to the top arc.

Seeing this situation, the Celtics could only quickly keep up with Hamilton's pace with forward players who were athletic and able to resist.

Rasheed Wallace took advantage of the one-on-one opportunity created by Hamilton, without any softness, he hit his back directly, and then slammed the ball twice to find his feeling.

Immediately afterwards, he turned around and squeezed his opponent away, stepped into the penalty area, and took off with a small throw.

This shot looked like Xia Ji's random shot, but it was quite accurate, and the basketball went straight into the net.

The Pistons scored two points first.

Next, the Celtics attacked and also gave some opportunities to the inside player Chris Mihm.

It's definitely not good for Chris Mim to single Rasheed Wallace, but as a white center, he still has a certain mid-range.

Mike James broke through to the inside and played a pick-and-roll with Chris Mihm. Ben immediately made up in front of Chris Mihm, but Chris Mihm shot a jumper directly.

Chris Mihm was the No. 00 pick in the first round of 7. He has a regular center height and reminder. It is not difficult to play a small man like Big Ben in a misplaced position.

In this way, the Celtics also relied on the center to shoot, scored 2 points inside, and tied the score.

Rasheed Wallace didn't keep an eye on his defensive player, but let the opponent fight together. This made Rasheed Wallace feel a little embarrassed, and immediately wanted to ask his teammates for the ball.

However, Billups did not give.

As the veteran point guard of the team, it is love to play a new player, and it is duty not to give him the ball.

Huo Song, the team's second leader, is going to bring a substitute, so Hamilton is the team's number one scoring point, and Billups will follow the tactics and give the ball to Hamilton first.

Ever since, Hamilton, under Pierce's strict defense, forcibly shot, but failed to hit the iron.

Rasheed Wallace was a little angry seeing this, but gradually realized that this was no longer the Trail Blazers, he had come to the Pistons as an ordinary starter.

The ridiculous thing is that if Huo Song doesn't give up, he will even start from the bench.

"Duty!" Rasheed Wallace gradually got some impression of this word.

He has been the core of the team since he was a child. This time he came to the Pistons and finally realized that he is no longer a core player.

He needs to recognize his position and play in a new way.

Undoubtedly, this situation can be painful and disorienting.

However, before Rasheed Wallace felt much depressed, Larry Brown called a timeout and replaced Rasheed Wallace early with nearly 7 minutes left in the first quarter.

The one who was replaced was naturally Huo Song.

Running the lineup does not mean that you have to bear the price of losing. The core players lead the second lineup, which does not mean that you have to get playing time in the second quarter.

Five minutes before the first quarter, the two teams were almost evenly matched.

But Larry Brown said that the direction of the game will change from this moment on.

After Huo Song played, the mental outlook of the Pistons changed dramatically.

Everyone put energy into the defensive end, the whole team has become more active, which is almost visible to the naked eye.

As soon as Huo Song came up, he directly slammed Chris Mim in a low position!

"Is this the power of young people? Chris Mim is also a high-ranking show, why does he look like a sandbag? There is no room for resistance at all."

"Technology can be used, but I'm sorry, I'm better at using power!"

"Chris Mim is not a tank center in the traditional sense. Even Rasheed Wallace can squeeze Chris Mim, let alone Huo Song."

"Attacking around the rim is an attack with a higher success rate."

Huo Song scored the ball, and the Pistons overtook the score and took a lead of 1 point.

But regaining the lead, the team will become more motivated.

It's the Celtics' turn to attack, and the Pistons' defensive system and defensive strength are truly on display.

Yeri Vershko initiated a breakthrough with the ball from the top arc, and just passed half a body, he was stopped by the big man who made up.

Prince immediately double-teamed, and Yeri Vershko had to pass the ball to Pierce.

Pierce didn't rush the shot and passed the ball quickly to Walter McCarty in the corner,

The latter immediately broke through and went to the basket, but he didn't want Da Ben to turn around, so he rushed over again immediately.

I don't know whether it's Daben's afro that is too intimidating, or Daben's looks are too scary.

Walter McCarty was very panicked when he saw Daben coming out of the defense. In the panic, he stopped and shot a jumper, but it turned out to be a three-point shot that was a lot shorter.

Huo Song under the basket didn't have much pressure and easily held the ball in his hands.

Immediately afterwards, Hamilton caught the ball and quickly played, and the Pistons quickly scored 2 points by relying on the transition, further consolidating their advantage on the court.

The Pistons continue to lead the score. Although the point difference is not big, the Pistons players obviously have to play more calmly than before.

The Celtics' offense isn't that good, but their defense is one of the best in the league.

Now that Huo Song, who knows everything, plays, Daben doesn't have to continue squatting inside, worrying about Rasheed Wallace's unfamiliarity with the team's defensive system and missing people.

Big Ben can keep running in the middle distance area, driving away all the enemies who step into his defensive area.

When the Pistons outside players double-team, the Celtics players can only panic, or be forced to pass the ball and be destroyed by the Pistons.

"Snapped--"

Just as Pierce broke into the basket, he pulled the bar first and then made a layup, but even so, the ball was still slapped away by Huo Song's big cap.

Prince flew to save the ball, Billups got the ball back.

Because the Celtics returned to defense in time, Billups waited for Huo Song to rush back from the backcourt.

When Huo Song reached the three-point line, Billups immediately passed the ball.

The Celtics seemed to be on guard against this scene. Walter McCarty and Pierce blocked Huo Song's breakthrough route one after the other.

Huo Song's breakthrough is usually a back turn, or a European step, which requires a certain amount of space, and is better at one-on-one breakthroughs.

The Celtics' arhat-style defense did limit Huo Song's breakthrough.

However, with two players stuck in the corners and the center squatting in the penalty area, the defensive loopholes in the two bottom corners were immediately exposed.

Huo Song made a long pass and passed the ball to Prince in the corner.

It seems that the strength is a bit strong. After receiving the ball, Prince stabilized for a while and failed to directly break through the basket to attack the basket.

The Celtics came back to their senses and immediately rushed towards Prince in the bottom corner.

Prince then passed the ball back to Huo Song who made an air cut to the basket. Huo Song caught the ball and took off, making a small throw.

beep-

Goal in, whistle blows.

"AND ONE! Wonderful offense!"

The Celtics accepted the ball at home and believed that the ball was fouled by the Celtics inside defenders. Huo Song played the ball beautifully.

However, the referee at the bottom line suddenly added drama, saying that Huo Song made an offensive foul and the goal was invalid.

Larry Brown on the sidelines had already sat down, looking for someone to pass him a bottle of water, and took two sips to moisten his throat.

After hearing the news, he immediately cursed at the bottom line referee.

"Such a good ball is called an offensive foul? Are you trying to destroy the NBA?"

"Which of your eyes can see that this is an offensive foul? It's not difficult to watch the replay! Watch it a hundred times, and a thousand times are defensive fouls!"

"Is it because of Rasheed Wallace? He left the Blazers, and you guys are not satisfied? That's not how the ball is played!"

Larry Brown knew that he couldn't say the forbidden words, he could only say some relatively tactful words.

Of course, it’s okay to swear, but Larry Brown was brought up to tell him that it’s okay to swear at players, but not at referees.

Of course, even though Larry Brown was very restrained, the referee at the bottom line resolutely blew a T on Larry Brown.

Rasheed Wallace, who was sitting not far behind Larry Brown, couldn't help throwing the towel on his head to the ground.

"Aren't you guys going too far? I've been sent to the icy and snowy place of the Pistons. What else do you want? Are you going to finish?"

The Blazers couldn't withstand the pressure from the league and traded Rasheed Wallace.

It stands to reason that Rasheed Wallace has apologized when he should have apologized, and has punished what he should have been punished.

As a well-known All-Star player in the league, the league should not continue to pursue it.

However, the emotion of hating and loathing will not disappear immediately just because a person is unlucky and punished.

What's more, this kind of emotion will be further escalated because of the failure of the goal.

Can "beat the dog in the water" why not?
There are not a few referees in the league who have a problem with Rasheed Wallace.

They just wanted to use their methods against Rasheed Wallace.

They just want to see Rasheed Wallace look like he can't play in the league.

They hope that Rasheed Wallace will continue to be traded by the team, his data will drop, his value will drop sharply, and his life will become more and more difficult. Because of the tragic experience, he will feel the pain deeply and feel the helplessness of not being able to play.

But people still have to save face. The referee obviously angered the Pistons because of Rasheed Wallace, but after blowing a black whistle for an offensive foul and a technical foul against the referee, he did not continue to blow another blow to Rasheed Wallace. T.

"We have no opinion about you, no idea."

"We didn't target you either! Look, you yelled loudly on the sidelines, and we didn't target you! How merciful we are!"

An experienced referee knows how to disgust the team's coaches and players.

Regarding their targeting, the famous coaches and all-star players with an annual salary of tens of millions can only continue to be angry and cannot cause any harm to them.

Even if you appeal to league officials, what's the point?
They won't make excuses on the court, and they won't give coaches and players an excuse to attack.

Huo Song was blown because Huo Song knocked someone into the air. Even if Mark Blunt couldn't prevent Huo Song, he stretched out his hand to grab someone and was knocked into the air, so what?

The referee can't see it anymore?Anyway, that happened in a split second. It's not clear whether Mark Blunt stood still in advance, so what does it matter?
Doesn't the final right of interpretation belong to the referee?The referee's enforcement of penalties is based on subjective judgments, so it is normal for there to be wrong judgments.

As for bragging about Larry Brown, it was really Larry Brown who cursed and interfered with the game.

Closer to home, the referee interfered with the game, but did not stop the game.

With Pierce executing free throws to help the Celtics recover 1 point, the game quickly restarted.

The Celtics have the ball. If they score the next goal, the score will be tied again.

However, the Celtics did not seize such an opportunity, and the Pistons still maintained the lead.

The referee is still in that I'm going to mess with you posture. He didn't finish the first quarter and helped the Celtics get some possessions.

However, after the Celtics have the ball, they need someone to put the ball in the basket.

Now the Pistons players are angry, and the consequences are dire.

The defensive intensity suffered by the Celtics players was no small matter. Of course, the referee seized on the high-intensity defense of the Pistons to whistle. It didn't take long for the Celtics to have a free throw opportunity.

The game was very ugly intermittently, but the Celtics did not use this to widen the point difference.

The Pistons knew what the problem was and simply lengthened the offensive round a bit.

Then try to make every shot under the best offensive opportunity to ensure the hit rate.

For the Pistons' response, the on-site referee still sidelined, but the Pistons still maintained the lead.

In fact, free throws are all for a period of time, and it is also very difficult to make free throws with nearly [-] fans watching.

It's okay to make a shot, but it's embarrassing if you don't make a shot.

The Celtics players doubled the pressure when they shot free throws, which actually caused their shooting percentage to decline.

Whenever a Celtics player misses a free throw, Rasheed Wallace will say: "Basketball doesn't lie!"
