"Larry, shall we replace Memet with Ben?" After watching the situation on the court once again firmly grasped by the Pacers, Pistons assistant coach Herb Brown asked Larry Brown beside him with an anxious face, but Larry Brown did not react after hearing Herb Brown's words, and still looked at the court calmly, it seemed that it was his Pistons who had the advantage on the court, and the Pistons who led the score.

When the Pacers began to use a joint defense against the Pistons after a timeout, and had Meng Xu and James Posey, replacing Jermaine O'Neal and Nn Hilario, to defend Memet Oku and Rasheed Wallace, who were constantly pulling beyond the three-point line, Larry Brown's strategy of returning the favor with his own style directly collapsed. When Jermaine O'Neal and NN Hilario always stayed near the paint area, Chauncey Billups was not so easy to break through to the Pacers' basket, compared to Billups's breakthrough without a goal, what made Larry Brown unable to deal with it was Memet Oku and Rashid Wallace, the Pistons' two interior lines, in the face of Meng Xu and James Posey's misplaced defense, there was no way to misplace and single them!

Memet Oku, who came off the bench late in the first quarter and scored eight points in just two minutes, was directly dumb under the rotation defense of Meng Xu and James Posey. In several rounds in a row, Memet Oku, who has always been in a misplaced advantage, got many opportunities to misplace singles, but the result was miserable, singled James Posey once, shot iron under the interference of James Posey, singled Meng Xu three times, was tackled once, was blocked twice, and Memet Oku, who was still full of confidence at the beginning of the second quarter of the game, is now unusually embarrassed.

It's been a full 3 minutes since Rick Carlisle took a timeout to change the lineup, but the Pistons haven't scored a point, as a coach with a lot of coaching experience, how can Larry Brown not see the bad situation the Pistons are facing now, but what can he see? On the basketball court, the misplaced offense, whether it is big or small, or small and big, is a very effective way to attack, but now, the Pistons' interior line can't misplace the outside line of the Pacers.

This is the case on the offensive end, and the Pistons' defensive end is also very embarrassing, replacing Ben Wallace's Memet Oku, who is about the same height as Jermaine O'Neal, and his height of 2.11 meters also makes it impossible for Meng Xu and Jermaine O'Neal to shoot wantonly in front of him, but compared to Ben Wallace, Memet Oku's defense is too bad, not only can not support the Pistons' defensive system, but even the Pistons' proud defensive blocking ability has disappeared after Memet Oku came on the court.

Although Larry Brown, who is standing on the sidelines with his hands on his chest, still looks calm and has everything under control, Larry Brown's heart is full of helplessness at the moment, unable to attack or defend, this is the situation that Larry Brown's Pistons are facing now.

"Memet-Oku's movement speed is really too slow, he is like a stake, he is casually passed by Meng Xu." After Memet Oku replaced Ben Wallace and narrowed the score between the two teams, Meng Xu's number of breakthroughs increased linearly, because compared to Ben Wallace, who has first-class movement speed and excellent defensive awareness, Memet Oku can't prevent Meng Xu's breakthrough at all.

"It's time for Larry Brown to get back on Big Ben, and it's time for the Pistons to change their defensive strategy against Meng Xu." As a supporter of Meng Xu, Michaels is very satisfied with the current situation of this game, but as a professional commentator with professional ethics, Michaels has also begun to give advice to the Pistons in adversity at this time, although his suggestions are not necessarily useful for the Pistons.

"Al, the bag clip won't solve the problem that the Pistons are facing right now." Most teams in the league will face a problem when defending Meng Xu, that is, tall players can't prevent Meng Xu's breakthrough, and short players can't prevent Meng Xu's shooting, except for the occasional flash of inspiration from individual players, one-on-one defense against Meng Xu is useless most of the time, so most of the teams in the league have a defensive strategy for Meng Xu. Jermaine O'Neal is also a player with extremely comprehensive offensive means, and Meng Xu is a very good passer, so although Meng Xu's package can effectively reduce Meng Xu's number of shots, it will not affect the offensive efficiency of the Pacers. And in today's game, Jermaine O'Neal's super high offensive efficiency in the first quarter of the game is bound to make the Pistons shoot when they trap Meng Xu, after all, once Meng Xu is trapped, then Jermaine O'Neal's defense is bound to be relaxed.

"How do you get the better of the Pacers?" While explaining to Michaels, Magic Johnson also involuntarily brought himself in, if the team he led met such a Pacers, then how should he deal with it in order to beat them?

"Looks like there's really nothing Larry Brown can do." Larry Brown, who had been pondering on the sidelines for a long time, finally began continuous adjustments in the second half of the second quarter, but no matter how Larry Brown adjusted, he couldn't turn the situation on the court around, but after the failure of adjustment again and again, the Pistons on the court gradually became depressed, and after halftime, the Pistons who were playing away had fallen behind the Pacers by as many as 17 points.

At the end of the first half, they fell behind by 17 points, and they were still facing the Pacers, so the 17-point gap was almost an impossible gap to be overcome, although a game was nothing for a best-of-7 series, but in this game, the Pistons were always suppressed by the Pacers, and the process of not finding the slightest hope of turning the tables was the most desperate.

After the start of the second half of the game, because the Pacers had a big lead, and the Pistons never wrapped Meng Xu, the third quarter of the game became the time for Meng Xu to show his offensive means, dry jump shots, back singles, breakthrough layups, and pull-up jump shots。。。。。。 Meng Xu showed all the scoring methods in his arsenal, whether it was facing Artest or Ben Wallace, Meng Xu played very decisively, anyway, you don't cover it, I will play slowly until you vomit.

"f***k, this bastard." Ron Artest, who defended Meng Xu all the way today, is really about to collapse now, Artest, who is known for his strong body and perverted qualities, has no advantage in front of Meng Xu at all, but has appeared many times in defense and was knocked away by Meng Xu, and Meng Xu has a stronger body than Artest, and his movement speed is also surprisingly fast. Therefore, in today's game, it is not so much that Artest is defending Meng Xu, but that Meng Xu is abusing Artest, who has a very bad temper, is really on the verge of losing control, and Artest is defending Meng Xu, the range of action is getting bigger and bigger, and even after Meng Xu's score exceeded 30 points, Artest has risen to the idea of blackhanding, but Meng Xu's surprisingly chicken thief makes Artest unable to find a chance to play black.

With Meng Xu's "prestige", Rick Carlisle is not worried that Meng Xu will suffer Artest's loss at all, but after all, be careful to make the 10,000-year-old ship, and the Pacers have already decided the overall situation, so after Meng Xu scored his 38th point in this game, Rick Carlisle took the initiative to call a timeout and replaced Meng Xu.

"The piston is finished." Although after Meng Xu left the break, the Pacers' ability to control the situation on the court decreased, but the Pacers still stabilized the Pistons, and finally when the third quarter of the game reached the 10th minute, the difference between the two sides was widened to 20 points.

At this time, not to mention that Michaels and Magic Johnson on the commentary bench directly sentenced the Pistons to death, even the Pistons bench players sitting on the sidelines looked lifeless, at this moment, who would believe that the Pistons could close the 20-point difference, and who would believe that they could reverse the Pacers?
