In the first game of the Eastern Conference semifinals, the two sides fought quite fiercely.

This intensity is not only reflected in the score, but also in the physical confrontation and trash talk confrontation.

If you want to know what it means to fight and bring a ball by the way, then watch this game.

"Wei passed the ball to Jermaine and he was ready to attack under the basket. Oh! Root. Wallace knocked Jermaine straight away. That's the style of Detroit, they don't hesitate to foul and don't allow the opponent to get an easy chance to score! ”

Steve. When Cole saw Xiao Ao being knocked out of the bottom line by Big Ben, he felt a pain in his flesh.

This Nima is really good at it!

I have to say that the series between the Pacers and the Pistons is so passionate.

Moreover, the referee was also very cooperative in putting the scale of this round of the series very large.

Although Stern has now begun to advocate offensive basketball, he has not completely abandoned confrontation, and there is still a big difference from Rihe's style of fouling when he touches it, causing everyone not to defend.

If you go by the regular season, the Pacers and Pistons are estimated to have graduated with six fouls long ago.

"What do you want to do? Do you think you're tough? Little O'Neill got up from the ground and rushed to Big Ben.

The two beasts looked at each other, as if their noses were already together.

It's not the first time Xiao Ao has been violated by Big Ben today, and his shooting percentage is very bad today, playing less than 45% so far.

It's all thanks to the rough defense of the best defensive player.

And those rough defenses, the referee doesn't blow every time.

"What's wrong sissy? If you feel that you can't fight, get down, no one begs you to play, this is a real man's game, ladies please detour. Big Ben raised his hands and pretended to be innocent, but his mouth didn't stop.

The referee intervened in time, which separated the two sides.

And conflicts like this have happened many times today.

"Another conflict was defused, and the smell of gunpowder between the Pacers and the Pistons was really strong." Cole looked up and saw that Wayne hadn't intervened.

Well, then it will definitely not be able to fight.

Don't look at the players on the field now who are all fierce, but if you want to say who really dares to do it, it's only Wayne!

As long as Wayne doesn't intervene, he definitely can't fight.

Wayne shook his head on the periphery, you guys don't pay attention to hygiene, aren't you afraid of saliva splashing when you spray so closely?

Actually, Wayne didn't dare to do it openly today. Otherwise, Big Ben would have been beaten a long time ago!

How many times has he pulled Xiao Ao today, it's like an inch.

But it can't be helped, the championship is more important!

Stern's is a mastery of everyone's psyche.

In the regular season, one of you is more arrogant than the other, and each one is fiercer than the other.

Xiao Ao and Ateina are both banned twice in a season.

Although Wayne has only been banned once, he will make a name for himself as soon as he makes a move.

But now, Stern is not afraid!

If you dare to fight, I will dare to ban you. I dare to ban, do you dare to lose the championship?

Don't you dare!

So, Stern didn't let the referee interfere too much in the game today.

Let them make noise, they won't dare to do it anyway!

Make a little gimmick, and it can also stimulate the ratings.

Otherwise, the Pacers and Pistons, who plays less iron than the other party, what else is there to see.

In this way, the two sides quarreled and quarreled today, but there was no major conflict.

By this time, the game had reached the last three minutes of the fourth quarter. O'Neal Jr. stepped to the free throw line and hit just one of two free throws.

The overly intense physical confrontation affected Xiao Ao's feel.

After making one of two free throws, the Pacers led the Pistons by three points.

Today, everyone didn't score much, and the shooting percentage was generally low.

It's because the defense is so intense.

Wayne has only scored 15 points so far, making 5-of-8 shooting and 3-of-4 from the free-throw line.

Wayne was one of the few players today with a fairly high shooting percentage, and as long as he made a shot, he was very sure.

But the point is, Wayne didn't have many opportunities to shoot today!

The Pistons' defensive strategy today is dynamic packing.

What is called dynamic packing, that is, once Wayne holds the ball, according to the situation, Little Prince and Big Ben will definitely go up to one of the bags to clamp Wayne.

Well, it's outrageous for the defending champion to wrap up a first-year rookie.

Although Wayne had the experience of scoring under the defense of Webber and Durham Porter in the last series, he is not Kobe Bryant after all.

Under normal circumstances, Wayne would not choose to shoot under the bag.

So, with bad chances, Wayne mostly passed.

So Wayne's scoring was really limited to a lot less today, much lower than it was when he played the 76ers.

Compared to the Pistons, the 76ers can basically be called unguarded.

However, the passing didn't help the Pacers open up the situation either.

If you pass it to Atai, not to mention that his three points are stable, the little prince can always make up for it as soon as possible.

This, combined with the interference of his long arms, made it difficult for Artai to effectively take advantage of the opportunity to shoot when the bag was empty.

And if Xiao Ao was missed, the scene just now would be the result.

Big Ben was a very active runner today, always able to rush back and interfere with Xiao Ao's shots.

Xiao Ao hit less than 45% today, and he was brought down again and again, that's how he came.

Overall, the Pistons' defense was successful, but they struggled on the offensive end themselves.

Tianzun has made 3 of 12 shots so far, and the little prince is basically equal to a transparent man on the offensive end under the defense of Atai.

The Pacers and Pistons, as always, defended with rough hand-to-hand combat, tormenting each other and having fun.

With 3 points down by 3 minutes, the Pistons definitely had a chance to return the game, and they didn't give up.

On the next ball, Rashid set up an off-ball screen for the masked man Hamilton.

In the face of the Pistons' offense, Carlisle's strategy was to switch defenses infinitely and not give the Pistons the first chance.

Therefore, Wayne switched to Hamilton for the first time and did not give him room to shoot.

As a result, Billups found Rashid directly in a very chicken thief.

Just like that, Wallace hit a three-point shot under Payton's weak defense to tie the score!

"Come on, boy, cut a 36 points and show me!" After Rashid scored, he naturally yelled at Wayne.

'Why did you score four goals today, happy to be like that? I went in five, do you see me happy? Or did you forget that you took almost twice as many shots as me and scored one less goal than me? ”

"!" Rashid was hit again, and Wayne's bounce was simply tough.

The score is still scorching, and this game finally gave Pacers fans a little playoff feeling.

This time Jackson had the ball, and Wayne stepped forward to cover.

But Hamilton was also very good at getting around the screen, and he quickly got back in front of Jackson and was quite rough against it.

Jackson passed the ball to Xiao Ao again, and Xiao Ao singled Big Ben in the low post!

Although the big book is not high, it is strong.

Xiao Ao bullied and bullied Daim Porter, but it was really difficult to move an inch.

Although the two sides fought very hard before the game, the ridicule of Big Ben was just a fluke.

But one thing to say, Big Ben, the best defensive player, actually has something.

Seeing that he couldn't reach the basket, Xiao Ao decided to turn over and jump and shoot!

Then, at this anxious moment when the score was tied, at this moment when the star of the house urgently needed to stand up, Xiao Ao's turnaround jumper hit the iron again.

That's right, again.

In the Eastern Conference finals last season, Xiao Ao experienced such embarrassment countless times.

When it was time to attack at critical moments, he could easily be completely dumb off.

O'Neal lacks the kind of killer move that can hit the nail on the head, and his low-post skills are very, very well-rounded, and he can do anything.

But when faced with a strong defense, Xiao Ao does not have that kind of stable offensive weapon.

This is also where Atai disagrees with him the most.

In that case, what's the difference between it and my Yincheng Santaizi?

So why is he the captain and the leader?

Just when all the Pistons players thought that this time the defense was successful again, Wayne suddenly jumped out and grabbed the rebound before Big Ben!

"Wayne, he's got the rebound! What is Rashid doing? He actually let Wei rush in so easily. ”

Tianzun is bitter in his heart, it's not that I don't get stuck in the position, but I was pulled outside the three-point line, how can you let me get stuck in the position?

Before he could react, Wayne rushed in!

As soon as Wayne grabbed the rebound and landed, Shuang Wallace hurriedly raised his hands and stuck to it, stunned that he didn't even give a chance to pass.

Stepping on the edge of the baseline, Wayne's center of gravity was unstable under the deliberate squeeze of the double Wallace and fell backwards.

But before losing the center completely, Wayne smashed the ball into Tianzun's leg.

This time he hit it right and didn't turn into a magic pass again.

"Doot, Pacers ball possession!" The referee made a decision on the spot and gave the result.

Wayne relied on his enthusiasm to snatch an offensive opportunity for the Pacers!

Tianzun: ???

Why did I go out of bounds without even touching the ball?

Although it is very embarrassing, but this is the rule of basketball, whoever touches the ball at the last time is considered to be out of bounds.

Even if you're forced to touch the ball.

"Focus, Rashid, I've grabbed two frontcourt rebounds today." After Wayne finished speaking, he deliberately shrugged his shoulders at Tianzun.

Tianzun was so angry, he almost couldn't help but want to explode!

From the regular season to now, Tianzun doesn't know how many times he has been humiliated by Wayne!

But in the end, the angry Tianzun still let go of his fist and walked away from Wayne.

Is it love? Is it for the responsibility of the championship?

It's just thinking too much, Tianzun is just afraid that he can't beat it.

If you can't beat it, you'll be banned, it's a shame!

Taking advantage of Wayne's hard-fought offense this time, Jackson hit a half-volley to continue to help the team maintain the lead.

"Damn, it's really annoying!" On the sidelines, Larry. Brown looked at Wayne like a thorn in his eye.

To be honest, if the Pacers didn't have Wayne, they would have been beaten down a long time ago.

Don't look at Wayne's stats today are not as flashy as they were when he played the 76ers, but he actually invisibly caused a lot of trouble for the Pistons.

Far from it, just that goal. Without Wayne, would the Pacers have a chance to attack again?

If Rashid hadn't been entangled by Wayne, if he could have been so lost, would he still have to play so anxiously in today's game?

It's so damning!

On both ends of the floor, Wayne made it difficult for the Pistons.

The Pacers overtook again, and everyone continued to engage in hand-to-hand combat.

Until the final 38 seconds, the Pistons were still trailing by three points. During this period, it is natural that there are more iron strikes than goals. The two sides bumped into a man and flipped on his back, but there was no goal.

This defense is crucial for the Pistons. As long as it can prevent this time, the Pistons will still have a chance to fight back.

If it was last season, the game played at this moment, and the Pistons had at least a 50% chance of winning.

Because the Pacers' key ball is the notoriously eight-row.

It was this 518 that made the Pistons difficult to reach the Finals last season.

But this season......

"Payton was in control of the time, and we didn't know what kind of offensive tactics Coach Carlisle had laid out. But the Pistons must be very nervous right now, because the Pacers have played very well with key shots this season!

Whenever they reach a crucial round, the Pacers almost always win! ”

Cole's words are actually not very rigorous.

It's not that the Pacers' key shots have become better, it's just that Wayne's key shots have become better.

Xiao Ao and Atai are at a critical moment, and to be honest, what should they be.

At this point, Director Zhang saw it more thoroughly. Therefore, his commentary pointed out the point directly: "Give the ball to Xiao Wei!" ”

With eight seconds left on the offensive clock, Payton hoisted the ball to Ao who was going to play the position.

Of course, Carlisle didn't let Xiao Ao finish, but simply hoped that Xiao Ao could attract the double Wallace bag.

But......

Tianzun, he is not a bird at all!

Don't be afraid of the threat of your key ball!

Xiao Ao is embarrassed, I'm the captain of Yincheng anyway, and I won't be given any face?

Fortunately, Wayne came out in time and threw off half of Tianzun's body, and then received Xiao Ao's pass.

Carlisle was scared half to death, Ma Dan should give the ball to Wayne directly in the future, all these bells and whistles are useless!

In the playoffs, giving the ball to the strongest is really the best tactic.

When Wayne received the basketball, he had only four seconds left on offense.

At this time, Tianzun had already pressed up, and the little prince also raised his long arms and ran in the direction of Wayne, preparing to wrap up.

Wayne could have caught the ball and shot straight away, and he had a fleeting jumper opportunity on the spot, but ......

Direct shooting can't trigger the "offensive kaleidoscope"!

I saw Wayne calmly make a fake throw, then swept past Rashid, took a step and made a stop-and-go jump shot against the little prince.

Although Rashid was shaken, he quickly returned to his position and also gave Wayne some interference from the side.

"Ah, this." Cole was stunned, you just had the opportunity to shoot and you didn't shoot, this is to make it more difficult for yourself!

That's right, Wayne just doesn't have difficulties, and he has to create difficulties.

Because only by triggering the "Offensive Kaleidoscope" and "Big Heart Killer" at the same time can you increase the shooting percentage to the maximum!

Wei. There is no difficulty I don't vote. Kindness.

Simple scoring, what's the point?

In this way, Wayne made a stop-and-go jump shot against the little prince.

He had just pushed the ball out when the red light on the rebound came on.

At the same time, the Nets made a "brush" sound.

Wayne hit a key shot, and his last-minute shot gave the Pacers a five-point lead!

Almost set the game for the Pacers!

"Thank you, good ball, actually scored! It's worthy of Wei! Although it was only his 19th point of the game, it was a goal worth a thousand gold! ”

Kerr was going to say, "Wei is still inexperienced, this shot is unreasonable." ”

As a result, it smells so good.

As long as you can enter, you are standing at the place where the midfield line LOGO is throwing, and you are not being said.

"Where are you Rashid, where are you? Why didn't I see you just now? What the? Did you just defend me? After the goal, Wayne spread his hands and shook his head to start stimulating Tianzun's nerves.

Tianzun is also a 30-year-old person, and he was said so by a little ghost in his twenties, not to mention how aggrieved he was.

Larry. Brown hurriedly called a timeout to lay out the final 14 seconds of offense.

However, Brown's sideline ball tactics were guessed by Carlisle.

On the Pistons' side, Rashid served the sideline, Billups and Prince feints, and it was Hamilton, who really caught the ball, who scored the most today.

As a result, Atai has been following the masked man to the death, and there is no room for him to start shooting.

Originally, Atai was defending the Little Prince, but this attack was temporarily transferred to defend Hamilton.

As it turned out, Carlisle was right in his prediction.

Although Carlisle is a defensive coach, his offensive routines are not so masterful.

But it's precisely on the sideline that Carlisle has a lot of experience.

To guess Larry. Brown's set-up was not difficult for Carlisle.

In this way, Hamilton, who originally wanted to snatch a goal, was blocked by Artey.

In the end, the only option was passing.

However, his pass to Billups was intercepted by the calculating Payton.

Payton broke the ball and went on a fast break and scored an easy layup to extend the margin to seven points.

The piston was completely sentenced to death!

"You probably need to take off your mask, or you won't be able to see the target of the pass." Peyton crooked his mouth and squirted at Hamilton.

Right now, the Pistons have only one way to go foul.

But unless a miracle happens, the Pistons won't have any chance of winning.

In the end, the difference of 7 points remained until the end of the game.

95-88, the Pacers won the first game of the series at home!

Although the process was very tortuous, it was also very difficult, mainly because it hurt all over the body.

But the victory was won!

"This season, the Indiana Pacers won't be tied up again. They are ready to storm the championship! ”

Miller kicked another basketball off the ground, which was worth $5,000, because he was sure to receive a league ticket after the game.

But...... So what?

The last time I kicked a flying basketball was to vent, this time, it's to celebrate!

Old Miller is so happy that at last, at the critical moment, he doesn't have to do it himself.

Finally, they are no longer weak at the critical moment.

Larry. Brown walked away with a serious face, not looking good.

In fact, he was already very satisfied with the team's performance today.

If it weren't for Wayne......

Larry. Brown frowned and walked into the players' tunnel.

Wayne must be tackled in order to tackle the Pacers!

So, how do you fix Wayne? Do you want to play directly like the Spurs?

No, you can't get that guy in this simple and crude way.

Because, no one is more brutal than Wayne......

When the time comes, the gains outweigh the losses, but the losses will be due to Dafa.

Larry. Brown still believes Wayne has the ability to "inadvertently" injure people.

So, to deal with Wayne, you have to outwit!

Well, the Hall of Fame coach already has a plan in mind.

All he needs to do is get the players under him to force a relationship with Wayne.

Abbreviated as strong ...... Well, it doesn't matter what is strong.

The important thing is planning.
