Chapter Seventy-Five: A Guest on Auburn Hills
Chris blushed, he has an unshirkable responsibility for the team to play like this, at the beginning of Kobe's defense was too loose, only using a rookie to defend Kobe, and then after being played by Kobe, he did not use more effective methods to stop Kobe's scoring momentum, resulting in the fact that Kobe Bryant scored 20 points in a single quarter. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
But now is not the time to hold them accountable, all he has to do is to re-energize the players, to give them hope of victory! to convince them that they are a champion team! and not to be knocked down by the slightest defeat.
"What's the matter, have you been beaten? It's strong, isn't it? It's true that Kobe Bryant is very strong, even if Jordan comes back, but is that the reason why you were pulled down by more than 10 points in a single quarter? You know, we're not fish, we're the Pistons, and our goal is the championship! We can't be knocked down with such ease, tell me if you want to win the championship?" Chris's roaring voice echoed around the Pistons bench, and everyone felt his anger.
The players didn't hesitate to confirm Chris's statement. There's no player who doesn't want to win a championship, there's no player who doesn't want to show themselves better and get a bigger contract. Teams like the Pistons, which belong to the NBA grassroots class, stand out.
"Okay! In that case, I want to see you completely different from the first quarter, you have to become bloody, you have to play hard, you must know that Kobe Bryant is not Jordan after all, he can't have the same hot hand in every quarter as before. You're going to have to make a fuss about that, you're going to learn to play with your brain, you're going to have to use foul tactics to ruin his touch, and you can do everything you can to deal with Kobe!
The players shouted back, "No problem!"
Also, you should have played your part (because of Lamar, Ben Wallace, who was supposed to be in Orlando by now, unexpectedly joined the Pistons a season earlier and started to show his strengths, averaging 5.4 points, 8.4 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 1.8 blocks per game so far this season). Are you afraid of that kid, you know that you are the best at defense. No, knock down that kid named Lamar to prove that you can!OK? You want to add some value to your personal accolades, right? You're the best defender against him, aren't you?" Chris said to Ben Wallace.
"Who's to say it's not? Don't worry, I just put some water in front of me, how can he be my opponent? Wallace reassured.
"Jerry, you should be more offensive to know that you are one of our cores, you should take responsibility for what you should have, you need to score, you know? I want you to get back to that 23-point-averaging self. Chris reflexively began to motivate Stackhouse again. Moving back to the score doesn't work with Ben Wallace alone, he needs to attack.
Stackhouse was also provoked to know the anger. He was also one of Jordan's successors that year, and he said to himself: "Beat him to prove that you are stronger!"
Seeing the heat in Starkhouse's eyes. Chris nodded in satisfaction, looked at the team's boss Grant Hill again, and said, "Okay, it's time to play, let's go and teach the self-righteous guys in Washington a lesson, let them know that we are the strongest." Ciel, the task of organizing is up to you!"
Pistons fans soon found that the Pistons generals who had returned to the bench in frustration just now seemed to have regained their confidence, so the enthusiastic Pistons fans began to cheer again!
As if in response to the enthusiasm of the fans, Schell suddenly accelerated after a series of crotch dribbles after receiving the ball at the top of the arc, shaking off his defender Ramon Murray, and just as Lamar was about to go up to fill in the position, Ben Wallace jammed his forward position.
Ben did a good job of hindering Lamar's forward speed and direction, at which point Lamar was able to bypass Ben. But in this way, by the time Lamar bypassed his opponent, Hill would have already made a move!
So Lamar had to stay under the basket, and it was Hawley who went up to fill in, but this key gentleman with a big heart is also about to come to the end of his career, and the perennial campaign will always leave injuries large and small, which also seriously hinders his defensive ability.
Complement defense like this is not easy to defend, coupled with Hawley's poor movement speed, it is even more helpless to face Hill, a top attacker in the league like Hill, who has an advantage in all aspects, and Hill scored an easy layup. That graceful movement also reminds people of the great god Jordan in his prime, yes! The talented Hill of the year is also one of the successors of His Royal Highness the Flying Man. It's a pity that injuries ruined this talented player!
Looking back, when the Lakers were attacking, Billups took advantage of Hawley's blocking and big opportunity to rush into the restricted area in a big stride, and there were many options in front of Billups, he could go to the basket or shoot, and he could also attract passes after defense, everything was up to him.
In the end, Billups still chose the safest layup to end the battle, but just as he was about to jump, he suddenly felt that he had hit something, although the ball still went in!
At this time, Ben Wallace, who was pulled up by his teammates, muttered in Lamar's ear: "Rookie defense is not just statistical!
Lamar gave Ben a contemptuous look at him and said, "I don't need it, Ben, you know what? If it weren't for Jeff, you'd still be wandering!"
It is true that Lamar does not need this kind of risky defense to prevent the opponent from scoring, and one of the bad things about making dribbles is to block fouls, and Lamar's foul count directly determines the current state of the Lakers.
Hill received the ball at the top of the arc again, this time it was no longer Ramon Murray who defended him, but Kobe Bryant, who was in good form in this game, and Phil had no hope for Ramon Murray's defense.
And this change is more in line with Hill's heart, there is nothing more exciting for him than beating Kobe Bryant in person, he wants to beat him, hit him. I saw that Hill's body at this time did two consecutive virtual disguises, and began to accelerate, Kobe Bryant relied on full defensive experience to follow, Hill suddenly made an emergency stop, and then accelerated again to rush out, and then stopped again for a jump shot.
Kobe Bryant is powerless at this time, he still has the initiative in the offense, but in defense, this initiative is absolutely in the hands of others, although he is aware of Hill's next move, but the two consecutive emergency stops still reach Kobe's limit! His body can't keep up with his own will, he can only watch Hill shoot the ball in front of his eyes.
The elegant and chic Hilton detonated the palace of Auburn Hills, and the people of the Motor City liked such babies, and the high-spirited stars on the field like Hill still fit their hearts very well.
The game was still going on, but the last thing the Lakers wanted to see a big accident happened, Lakers veteran Hawley was lying on the ground moaning, holding his knees weakly.
Here's the thing, when the Lakers turned around to attack, Lamar gave Ramon Murray a blocking and pick-and-roll match, the latter received the ball from Billups, and directly reflexively jumped, but the ball didn't hit, but smashed on the basket and bounced high, bounced to the side of Holly and Robinson, the two naturally jumped high to grab the rebound, and Holly won in the aerial scramble, but he didn't know that this was the last rebound in his regular season basketball career this season, and when he landed, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional Robinson's foot stretched under Holly, and the falling Holly stepped on it, because of the center of gravity, Hawley's knees were directly twisted into twists. Falling to the ground looked very painful.
The team doctor, Garivedi, rushed forward immediately, and Lamar rushed directly to Robinson and asked him loudly: "Did you do it on purpose?" Because he knew what it meant to be injured at Hawley's age, and Lamar's real first teacher was Hawley, who told him about his experience as a rookie. Holly doesn't want the magician to be an unreliable master, and often sees the dragon without seeing the end! Old Holly often discusses his own experiences and life anecdotes with Lamar, and Lamar can be regarded as a teacher and friend!
Kobe Bryant walked over, grabbed Lamar, who was already angry, and said loudly: "Calm down, Lamar!"
Kobe's words still worked, Lamar had no intention of making a move, but the sharp eyes still looked at Robinson's hair.
Fei'er walked over and asked the team doctor, "How is the situation now?"
The team doctor replied with a serious facial expression: "It seems that the situation is not good! It is estimated that it is not light, and I still have to go to the hospital for an examination!"
Phil also knows that when it comes to this, Hawley's injury will not be light! If there is a major knee injury at this age, it will also announce that his career is very dangerous, and he may not be able to return to the court at any time! Basketball is sometimes so ruthless, no matter how great a player you are, once the injury finds you, you will quit the stage at any time.
Phil was very angry and scolded "shirt!" It seems that the Zen master also has times when he gets angry, and Hawley's injury has brought the Lakers' interior back to the state of two people!
The team doctor got Phil's consent and immediately took Hawley into the ambulance. When he left the court, Lamar saw Hawley crying, crying very sadly, and his basketball dream could come to an end!
