Chapter 568

"Bastard, aren't you the number one forward in the East? How can you be like a woman today, you know how to float outside to shoot! Looking at Jermaine O'Neal, who has reached the side of the paint area in the attack, but does not want to dwell with himself and is ready to pull up to the high post at any time, Ben Wallace's face is very ugly right now. In today's game, the Pacers' two interior lines are unusual, and they are not entangled with themselves under the basket, especially Jermaine O'Neal, who plays the No. 5 position, and constantly pulls out to shoot, because of the slight momentum in height, Ben Wallace is very disgusted to encounter this kind of opponent who is more than 10 centimeters taller than himself and likes to shoot at medium and long distances.

"Can't stand it? This series has just begun, and you will have to suffer later, so enjoy it. Looking at the angry Ben Wallace, Jermaine O'Neal felt very happy, this guy is too short, much easier to deal with than Rasheed Wallace, every time he shoots the basket, it depends on his own feel, and he doesn't have to go to the basket to fight with a group of muscle sticks like before, so Jermaine O'Neal likes the feeling of today's game very much, and even secretly thinks in his heart that it would be good if the players who defend themselves in every game in the future are this height.

Looking at Jermaine O'Neal's cheap expression, Ben Wallace has the heart to strangle him at the moment, Ben Wallace, who is strong and has top strength, is not afraid of physical confrontation, and the collision between muscles, on the contrary, he likes this feeling very much, the series between the Pistons and the Heat, although Ben Wallace was not able to prevent Shaq O'Neal, but for the whole series process, Ben Wallace is very satisfied, because every time as long as O'Neal holds the ball, the big guy will rush to the basket desperately, Have a body-to-body collision with Ben Wallace, whether it is O'Neal who crashes into himself to complete the dunk, or Ben Wallace uses his steely body to block O'Neal under the basket, that kind of blood-boiling confrontation makes Ben Wallace's every pore stretch, but compared to the real man Big Shark O'Neal, this soft little O'Neal like a woman makes Ben Wallace very bad.

"Larry, do we need to call a timeout and adjust our tactics? The guy on the other side is clearly targeting us right now. Larry Brown, who was standing on the sidelines, looked calm, but his assistant coach and his own brother, Herb Brown, was not as calm as him, and in today's game, the Pistons fell into passivity from the beginning, the offense was not smooth, and the defensive end also lost the airtight defense of the past, which was completely kneaded by the Pacers.

"That guy knows us all too well." Looking at Jermaine O'Neal, who hit Ben Wallace's jumper on the head again, Larry Brown's brows gradually wrinkled, although Rick Carlisle was fired by the management of the Pistons last season, but Rick Carlisle's defensive system built for the Pistons was continued by Larry Brown, because the Pistons' main opponents in the playoffs have players with very strong breakthrough ability, especially the Pacers, and around Meng Xu's breakthrough, to create an offensive system of blocking and breaking points, Therefore, Rick Carlisle formulated a defensive system for the Pistons with Ben Wallace as the axis and at the same time recovering the bag from the outside, and the Pistons' defensive system, the effect of defensive blocking and breaking is very obvious, and because of this, after Larry Brown coached the Pistons, he did not completely overthrow Rick Carlisle's tactical system built in the Pistons, but further improved the defensive system left by Rick Carlisle according to his own experience, and because of this, Rick Carlisle who single-handedly created the Pistons defensive system, for the shortcomings and hits of the pistons, it must be very clear.

And in today's game, the Pacers also hit the Pistons' goal, the first quarter of the game has been played so far, more than 9 minutes have passed, but Meng Xu, as the core of the Pacers' offense, has not even made a breakthrough, and throughout the first quarter, the Pacers' offense revolves around Ben Wallace, who should be the strongest point of the Pistons on the defensive end. Ben Wallace defends Jermaine O'Neal, Jermaine O'Neal pulls to the high post to single Ben Wallace, and once Ben Wallace and Rasheed Wallace switch defenses, NN Hilario will pull out and block with Meng Xu, Ben Wallace is invincible when defending the blocking and dismantling of those small guards, but today in the face of Meng Xu's blocking, Ben Wallace has been repeatedly deflated, because unlike those small guards who play big with small size, Meng Xu and Ben Wallace do not have the slightest slight momentum in height, THEREFORE, AFTER MENG XU COMPLETED THE BLOCKING, HE DID NOT BREAK THROUGH, NOR DID HE GO DOWN, BUT DIRECTLY YANSHE BEN WALLACE. It's very embarrassing, Ben Wallace, who was originally the Pistons' strongest point on the defensive end, has now become a defensive hole under the deliberate targeting of Rick Carlisle.

At the same time, on the defensive end, Rick Carlisle's arrangement today is also very targeted, the Pacers abandoned the 32 defense often used in the regular season, used man-to-man defense against the Pistons, and spent most of their energy on limiting the Pistons' outside players, especially the defense of Hamilton and Billups, which can be described as airtight. After being deliberately targeted by the Pacers on both offensive and defensive ends, the Pistons couldn't play their due strength at all today, and the first quarter of the game was not over, and they were already 7 points behind the Pacers.

Larry Brown now also knows very well that as long as he can't solve Ben Wallace's problem, then no matter how much timeout he calls, it will be useless, unless he can be ruthless to replace Ben Wallace, but once Ben Wallace is off the court, the Pistons' defensive system will definitely collapse, so Larry Brown, who is now standing on the sidelines, can only let the situation on the court develop in a direction that is more and more unfavorable to the Pistons, and he can only pretend to be calm while racking his brains to think about a strategy to break the game.

"No matter what, I'm not going to just throw in the towel." Seeing that the difference between the two sides was about to reach 10 points, Larry Brown immediately put away his thoughts and called a long timeout with two minutes left in the first quarter.

Although Larry Brown doesn't want to give up and still wants to win, Larry Brown can't find any way to change the situation on the court, the Pistons' tactical system and personnel arrangement have doomed them to be unable to rely on strong individual ability to reverse the situation on the court when the team is in adversity, they can only rely on the strength of the team.

So while Larry Brown wants to win, Larry Brown is now in a state of confusion as to what to do to turn the tide on the court?

"Well, if only I had a player like Allen." Looking at Ben Wallace, who was already obviously lost and confused in his eyes when he came off the court, Larry Brown thought of Allen Iverson at this moment, Larry Brown, who has coached the 76ers for many years, is actually very dissatisfied with Allen Iverson in his heart, rebellious, lazy, and poor defensive attitude, every point of Allen Iverson seems to be incompatible with Larry Brown's coaching philosophy, but at this moment, when his team is in trouble, he can't find how to deal with it, Larry Brown instinctively thinks of Allen Iverson, of Allen who is full of fighting spirit all the time, of Allen who saves the team in desperate situations again and again, and now, there is no such player under his command, and there is no player who he loves and hates at the same time.
