NBA: This Center Is So Stable

The first time, the first time, was to play the game.

Chapter 241 Furious Larry Brown, D’Antoni’s reputation

Halftime.

Pistons locker room.

The first thing the irritable Larry Brown did when he returned to the locker room was to throw the tactical board in his hand to the ground. This iron-blooded coach who used to get along well with his teammates and create the strongest civilian lineup in the East.

Now he has also exposed his vulnerable side in front of everyone!

“Are you all sleepwalking? Excuse me?”

In the locker room, no one made a sound for a long time.

Even Ben Wallace and Rasheed Wallace, the two of them now quietly lowered their heads.

There was no sign of the hostility that the Wallace brothers showed on the court. They were like kittens in front of Larry Brown.

Of course, it’s not that they are really so obedient.

In the past, it is very likely that one of Ben and Rasheed would stand up and fight back against Larry Brown, the iron fist.

But today, with such a bad performance, neither of them could refute.

Especially Ben, as an All-Star center, who almost became the top vote-getter, actually served as the opponent’s background board at the end of the half-time game.

Today’s battle of the king mountain, which is destined to go down in history, is like the water injected into the heads of the fans who voted for Ben during the All-Star voting.

Two DPOYs can’t even limit an Asian rookie. If you say this out, neutral fans will probably laugh their heads off.

And the “roaring lord” on the other side is almost the same!

In the absence of Ben, the burden of defending Wang Song fell on him. Except for fewer personal fouls, Rasheed Wallace is not much better than his Wallace brothers.

Seeing the Pistons players were silent, Larry Brown seemed to realize that his words just now were a bit heavy, and he was ready to use both kindness and force to arrange the game strategy for the second half.

But before he could speak, Hamilton, who scored the highest in the first half, said: “Boss… I’m very sorry that it was our problem today, but we really tried our best!”

“I know you are angry, but today the Asian kid is like a perpetual motion machine. As long as he doesn’t leave the court, it will be very difficult for us to catch up.”

Hamilton explained the reasons for the miserable situation in the first half in a tactful tone.

Chauncey Billups nodded fiercely.

It’s better to say that the first half of the game was a personal blow than a gap in the strength of the team.

The Knicks did not reveal the so-called skills and tactics throughout the game, nor did they make any brilliant decisions. There was only the “injured” who returned!

In addition to limiting the Asian kid, the Pistons can only summarize improving their own offensive efficiency.

If it is a shame to be scored 31 points by Wang Song, then their record low score in the first half of the playoffs was purely due to their own reasons.

In front of the Knicks, where Wang Song was in the penalty area, the Pistons’ offense in the first half was mostly ended by shooting. Unfortunately, under the high-intensity pressure of the Knicks, their shooting choices were not good.

They also relied on attacking the basket to increase their scoring methods at the beginning, but the lack of a basket led to the Pistons’ few opportunities to attack the basket.

And the Pistons who came to the away game could not rely on the referee’s whistle, so they often rushed into the basket and blocked the shot.

Helplessly, in this case, the Pistons’ offense can be said to be very dependent on the touch of the outside line.

It’s a pity that all the outside gunners of the Pistons today failed, which became one of the key factors that contributed to the tragedy of the battle of Tianwang Mountain together with Wang Song.

Larry Brown looked at Hamilton who dared to talk back silently without saying a word.

He didn’t expect that during the halftime break, it was not his main speech, but a blame-sharing meeting, which made the old-school coach who had always been authoritarian and monopolistic unbearable…

Seeing that the locker room was about to set off a storm, the Pistons assistant coach hurried forward to separate the two sides.

In this way, the Pistons, who had lost their backbone, did not make too many adjustments in the midfield.

Billups briefly told the players about the second half of the game, and the halftime break was gone in a flash.

On the other side.

Knicks locker room.

Compared with the discord and hostility in the Pistons locker room, the Knicks locker room was almost about to open a bottle of champagne to celebrate Wang Song’s miracle in the first half.

“Wang, you know, you were like a god of war in the first half. I saw that the eyes of the fans around you were not just worship, but full of awe.”

“Oh my god, 31 points in the first half… This is higher than the score of the entire Pistons team. Those Detroit natives are still a chicken feather.

. ”

“Won’t you be tired after playing the whole first half, Wang? Take a break in the second half, please believe us!”

“Kurt, when you can score 30 points in the first half of the playoffs, you should be able to become a legend in New York!”

“Tayshawn, you think too highly of me. Leave this kind of thing to you young people. After so many years, I just hope not to become a background player like the Pistons, and let the home team fans remember the name of “Dirty Kurt.”

···

D’Antoni looked at the Knicks players who were amazed at Wang Song’s performance in the first half, and he did not interrupt them.

When the noise in the locker room quieted down, he began to speak: “Okay guys, when you touch Wang Song’s “God’s Hands”, can you stop drooling? You are so grown up!”

“Next, let’s win the battle of the King Mountain in one go and keep the match point in our hands! ”

Although the Italian champion coach’s encouragement was not very passionate, for the current Knicks, any words to their ears are a shot of adrenaline.

The second half of the game started.

Wang Song, who originally wanted to test the limits of the [Perpetual Motion Defender], wanted to continue to play, but the entire coaching staff including his teammates pressed him on the bench.

Kurt Thomas: “Please, Wang, give us old guys a chance to perform!”

Tayshaun Prince: “Wang Sangsmida, they all say that the Knicks are a united and friendly team. For your health and the physical and mental health of the Pistons, take a short break for half a game and give us and them some slim chances.”

Steve Nash: “Wang, leave it to me next!”

···

D’Antoni also helped to make a summary: “Wang, give some opportunities to young people, don’t be too obsessed with personal data, I don’t believe that the Pistons can still make any waves when you are not on the court! ”

The Italian champion coach only told half the truth, and he couldn’t say the other half directly.

If Wang Song was still on the court at the beginning of the second half, he had no doubt that the Knicks management would reprimand the coaching staff and that the outside world would question the Knicks coaching staff’s use of people.

This kind of playing style of using players like donkeys was relatively rare before Thibodeau in 24 years.

D’Antoni didn’t want to use a sure victory to exchange for the name of a lifelong coach of cattle and horses.

If D’Antoni wants to cooperate with other stars in the future, reputation is still very important for a head coach.
