"Ben, are you alright?" After the long timeout, the rotation lineups of both sides came on the court one after another, as the lagging side, the Pistons naturally sent most of the main players to continue to play, but Ben Wallace and Richard Hamilton, who were not ideal in the previous game, were put on the bench by Larry Brown, as the defensive core of the Pistons, and at this time were put on the bench, Ben Wallace's face was naturally very unsightly, and Richard Hamilton, who was treated the same as Ben Wallace, After seeing Ben Wallace's uncertain look, he also asked Ben Wallace with some concern.

In today's game, the Pistons played extremely hard, they were like an unsuspecting brown bear, and they fell into the trap dug by the Pacers in advance for them, and they were targeted by the Pacers everywhere from the offensive end to the defensive end, and Ben Wallace, who was the core of the Pistons' defense, and Richard Hamilton, who broke up with the Pistons team, were the focus of the Pacers.

Ben Wallace, who frequently left the basket to defend Jermaine O'Neal and NN Hilario, consumed a lot of physical strength in the previous games, but returned again and again in vain, although Ben Wallace, who grew step by step from an undrafted rookie to an All-Star, is very tenacious in his heart, but in the face of Jermaine O'Neal and Meng Xu's YAN shots again and again, Ben Wallace's heart will also fluctuate somewhat, and Ben Wallace, who doesn't know what to remember, tilted his head slightly, In the end, he stayed in the distance, on the person he respected very much in his heart.

"I'm fine, Richard." After a few moments, Ben Wallace withdrew his gaze and thoughts, smiled at Richard Hamilton beside him, and then put the towel over his head, leaned directly back on the back of his chair, and stared intently at the game in progress.

"Hmm." Relatively wordless, after nodding at Ben Wallace, Richard Hamilton closed his eyes, while seizing the time to rest, he also wanted to calm his thoughts, and also think about how to get rid of Tyshawn Prince's defense in the later games, although Hamilton only stayed with the Pacers for one season, but for this little guy who often defends himself and Reggie Miller in training games, Hamilton is very aware of his strength on the defensive end, in the finals last season, Tyshawn Prince, who was still a rookie, was assigned by Larry Bird to defend Kobe Bryant, this little guy who looks a little skinny, can always make his opponent like he is stuck in a quagmire, and this is the case with Richard Hamilton, who was targeted by Tyshawn Prince all the time today.

Perhaps because of Jermaine O'Neal and Meng Xu's rest, Memet Oku and Collis Williams, who replaced Ben Wallace and Richard Hamilton, performed very well in the last two minutes of the first quarter, especially Memet Oku, who played center, did not have any entanglement with Mutombo under the basket at all, but like an outside line, repeatedly pulled to the three-point line to shoot 3 points, and Memet Oku scored two consecutive 3-pointers before the end of the first quarter. It also allowed the Pistons to narrow the score to 6 points at the end of the first quarter.

Due to the excellent performance of Memet Oku, and inspired by Rick Carlisle's use of Jermaine O'Neal, Larry Brown continued to send the interior combination of Memet Oku and Rasheed Wallace after the start of the second quarter, directly copying the tactics used by the Pacers in the first quarter, allowing the two interior lines to frequently pull to the outside to shoot at medium and long range, but Chauncey Billups, after cooperating with his teammates, constantly attacked the Pacers' basket.

"Give back to the other in his way!" After seeing the situation on the court after the game entered the second quarter, Magic Johnson suddenly became interested, and he couldn't wait to know what Rick Carlisle would do next, Magic Johnson's favorite thing to watch now is the two head coaches fighting each other in the game.

"The Pacers called a timeout and Rick Carlisle reacted very quickly." Michaels, who sat next to Magic Johnson, looked very appreciative of this timeout from Rick Carlisle.

"This guy is so bold!" After Rick Carlisle called a timeout, Magic Johnson, who was extremely looking forward to Rick Carlisle's next changes, was surprised to find that Rick Carlisle did not make any adjustments to the team's lineup, but chose to use joint defense against the Pistons, and very boldly let Meng Xu defend the pulled Memet Oku, and let James Posey defend Rashid Wallace.

"You look down on me too much." Seeing Meng Xu, who had already put on a defensive posture in front of him, Memet Oku's face immediately became not so good-looking, although I was just a small character, but I was also an inside line with a height of 2.11 meters, so I called an outside line to defend me, what does this mean? Do you look down on the master? Although you are the first person in the league and a superstar, you can't humiliate me like this, I also have dignity.

For this very obvious misalignment opportunity, the Pistons obviously will not let go, originally planned to break through once first, but after seeing the changes in the Pacers, they immediately gave up the plan to break through, and instead handed the ball directly to Memet Oku, asking him to misplace and single Meng Xu.

"Hmph, it looks like today is the time for me to make a name for myself." Without any hesitation, after receiving the ball, Memet Oku, after a slight adjustment, jumped up under Meng Xu's defense. Memet Oku wants to score under Meng Xu's defense and make a name for himself, but Oku's head is still very sober now, although Meng Xu is an outsider, his body is stronger than most of the outside in this league, and Meng Xu's strength is one of the best among all the outside lines in the league, so Oku has no intention of playing alone with his back or using his body to force Meng Xu, after all, Meng Xu is a two-time best defensive player, so he uses his height to shoot directly in front of him, It has become Oku's best choice, and Oku also believes that with his height exceeding Meng Xu's height by 10 cm, as long as he jumps casually, Meng Xu can only look at the ball and sigh.

And while jumping up, thinking that he was going to score on the head of the first person in the league next, Oku's heart was on fire, what a great opportunity to become famous!

It's just that when Oku finished jumping and didn't have time to throw the basketball in his hand, the expression on his face, the big man who was still excited just now, changed his face, because what appeared in front of him was Meng Xu, who had already stretched out his arms, and Meng Xu's height in the air looked a little higher than him, and Memet Oku, who felt that his body was about to start falling, had to throw the basketball in his hand in the direction of the basket before Meng Xu's big hand covered it.

And the scene that happened after the basketball got out of his hand made the face of Memet Oku, who had already begun to fall, full of incredible expressions, because the basketball that had just been thrown out by himself flew only a very small distance before being slapped away by Meng Xu.

Not to mention Memet Oku, who was blocked by Meng Xu, even the rest of the players on both sides on the court, and even the spectators on the sidelines, were shocked by what happened just now, Meng Xu's blocking ability is very strong, an outside player can contribute 150+ blocks in a single season, which is definitely a very remarkable thing, but most of Meng Xu's previous blocks were outside players who were shorter than himself, or the kind of unexpected blocks when assisting in the defense, and like today, he blocked a big center with a height of 2.11 meters face-to-faceThis is unique in Meng Xu's career, and even in the entire history of the NBA, it is also very rare.

Immediately after a short silence, the Banker's Life Arena immediately boiled, wave after wave of cheers, shocking people's ears numb, all the attention on the scene was gathered on Meng Xu at this moment, and Tyshawn Prince, who grabbed the basketball that was slapped by Meng Xu and completed the fast-break dunk, was directly ignored by the audience and teammates on the court.
