186. Two bosses in the east

Under the nervous gaze of the Pistons players, DJ called out the last person at the top of his voice: "He's not Michael. Jordan、He's not Hakim. Olajuwon, he's not Shaq. O'Neal, but he's Indiana's toughest big man, the guy who can lead us through the league, and let's shout his name with the most enthusiastic cheers -- the king of Polis sports, Jermaine. O'neill!!! ”

A tsunami of sound was released from the mouths of the fans, and a big man in a white training uniform slowly walked out of the players' tunnel, it was Jermaine, who ranked fourth in the MVP rankings this season. O'neill!

Little O'Neal at his peak is omnipotent, he is the two people most similar to the wolf king Garnett, with similar figures, similar skills, and similar fighting spirit! O'Neal Jr. was selected for the varsity team when he was in elementary school, but he was a guard, and in middle school, he played as a forward because of his height, and he didn't go to college after high school, but directly entered the NBA, and after two years of hibernation, he called the wind and rain in Indiana as a center.

"Damn, didn't the team's medical team say that this kid will miss all of the Eastern Conference Finals?" Hamilton scolded with a blushing face, the Pacers with O'Neal Jr. and the Pacers without O'Neal Jr. are two teams, O'Neal Jr. is not only the team's offensive weapon, but also a defensive gate, and most importantly, he is the core of the whole team's operation, and his vision and awareness ensure that he can organize the offense like a playmaker.

The team lost its opening game, O'Neill Jr. couldn't sit still, and after conservative treatment, he will play in all the remaining games.

Huaben shook his head depressedly and said, "Jermaine is just joking with his career, doesn't he know what this will bring him?" His back injury needs to be restored, and once the root cause is left, he's done! He remembered that in his previous life, O'Neill Jr. was ruined by a back injury.

The five most regrettable five geniuses in the 21st century who have been destroyed due to injuries are Maddie, who sees scoring as a bag, Oden, who landed in the NBA as a champion but did not show a bright spot, Arenas, who can become an All-Star with a second-round pick, and Brand. Roy, the fifth of whom was the former No. 1 center in the East, Jermaine. O'neill.

"Ben, the last game was quite arrogant, believe it or not, you are going to die in this game?" Little O'Neill blinked and said to Warburn.

Naturally, he couldn't show his cowardice in battle, not to mention that Hua Ben was not afraid of this kid, he sneered, made a gesture to shoot, and responded: "See you on the court." ”

At the start of the game, the Pistons changed their starting lineup, Mirisic was on the bench, and Prince was once again the starting small forward. The Pacers also made a change, changing the center position to O'Neal Jr., and the lineup was changed to: center Jermaine. O'Neal, power forward Al. Harrington, small forward Ron. Artest, scoring guard Reggie. Miller, playmaker Jamal. Tinsley.

When the jump ball was played, the Pacers naturally sent O'Neal Jr., and the Pistons were Rashid at the mercy of him.

The battle between the two sides began in the first second, the basketball flew out, and the two big men jumped off the ground almost at the same time, waving their arms cross-legged in the air, like erecting two optimus black pillars. The two shot the ball almost at the same time, and finally grabbed the ball because of O'Neal Jr.'s arm span advantage.

Tinsley received the flying ball, excited tears, heaven, earth, such as the Buddha God, this is a familiar feeling Wow, which game was not in their hands before?

The Pacers showed their threat on the first offense, as Tinsley threw the ball into the hands of O'Neal Jr. after halfcourt, who got the ball, and Rashid quickly turned around his back to hold it. Brown commanded below, and Warben also stared sideways at O'Neal Jr., with an expression that if you dared to fight Lao Tzu alone, you would dare to wrap up.

Little O'Neill took Rashid on his shoulders and tried his strength, slammed forward, took a step back by the force of the reaction, and jumped up with his legs bent when he withdrew. Seeing this, Hua Ben was shocked, and shouted 'Nima' to make up for it.

As soon as Warben moved, O'Neal Jr. had a smirk on his face, handed the ball in his hand, and Artest jumped up with a 'bang' when he got the ball, and cut the first two points for the team with his ugly but effective mid-range shot.

"Defend! Win! The Polis fans saw the hope of winning at once, and they began to squeak and scream.

Billups dribbled the ball through the half, and in the face of Tinsley, who was close to him, the strong defender took a big step, passed the opponent purely by speed, and stepped on Hot Wheels with both feet, which was called a fast, straight to the Yellow Dragon!

O'Neal Jr.'s defensive superiority on the court was immediately evident, and he, like Wabeben, had excellent defensive and complementary defensive capabilities, taking a big step forward and blocking Billups' attack line.

Billups has never been a guard whose primary goal is to attack the hoop, and when O'Neal Jr. came out, his goal was accomplished, sending the ball to Rashid with a flick of his wrist.

O'Neill Jr. was not surprised, he dared to come out and was mentally prepared to lose his position, Rashid was not far away from him, and he could only return to his position again by turning back.

But Rashid didn't choose to go straight to the basket, but took a step across the box to block the box, grabbed the ball with his big hand and handed it out. Wauben rushed in with Rashid, Artest was in hot pursuit, but Rashid blocked him, and O'Neal Jr. was far away from the penalty area, and could only watch Wabbon jump for an opening dunk.

Huaben's dunk was the signal for the Pistons to launch an onslaught, Tinsley's pass error was stealed by Prince, and Billups and Hamilton scored on a fast break; Less than fifteen seconds later, O'Neal Jr.'s inside single was interfered with by Warburn and missed, Rashid got the rebound and threw it to Billups, and Prince took advantage of Warben's cover to shoot and cut two points again.

At the beginning, the Pistons came up and beat the opponent a 6-2 small **, but the pitiful Pistons fans on the scene let out cheers inversely proportional to the number of people, which caused Pacers fans to curse constantly.

"Hold the lead until the end!" Wamoto raised his arms and shouted, his eyes looking directly at little O'Neill.

The next few attacks were not easy, both sides were strong defensive teams, Rashid + Huaben's defense was not much stronger than O'Neal Jr. + Artest's defense, both coaches adjusted their tactics off the field, pressing down their palms to signal to slow down the pace and play defensive battles.

In the fifth minute of the game, O'Neill Jr. scored his first goal since his comeback, a beautiful goal. He used his footsteps to get rid of Rashid on the baseline, entered the basket to get the ball, and jumped up with his height advantage, but Huaben jumped up and found that it was just a feint, and the opponent turned around and cut into the bottom of the basket, jumping up and making a violent dunk.

Inspired by this dunk, the Pacers tied the score at 11-13 shortly after the halfway point of the first quarter, at which point Brown called the first timeout, and the old rule was that Prince replaced him and Mirisic replaced him.

After Mirisic came on the court, the Pistons once again became a three-inside tactic, Mirisic and Rashid played a tacit understanding, both of them are all-rounders in the high and low positions, as soon as Mirisic came on the court, he entered the low post to ask for the ball, and Rashid ran to the high post. After a brief hesitation, O'Neal Jr. decided to let go of Mirisic, who had shone in the playoffs, mainly because it would bring him closer to the hoop and more threatening.

As soon as O'Neal Jr. let go of Rashid, Mirisic immediately transferred the ball, and Tianzun made a neat mid-range jump shot, giving Mirisic an assist.

Looking at Harrington's-like expression on the opposite side, Rashid laughed smugly, he stretched out his thumb to Mirisic, and said in appreciation: "Well done rookie, no wonder you will be the leader, if it were me, I would also choose you." ”

Mirisic has already played with confidence, no longer the shy boy who listened to the Bible, he proudly showed off his biceps, and said narcissistically: "No way, I don't want to play like this, but unfortunately I was born to be a good basketball player." Damn, my mom said she had a dream before she was pregnant, and God stuffed a basketball into her stomach, and then she had me, and I always thought that this dream had a unique meaning. ”

Billups and Hamilton bit their lipes and ran away,, this kid is getting disgusting.

Miller sneered: "This sperm is really big enough, so big in basketball?" Or are you born from a combination of basketball and eggs? No wonder you always feel like you're missing roots. ”

Artest burst into laughter, Mirisic opened his mouth and was frustrated to find that he couldn't fight the old man in trash talk, but Hua Ben had a proficient level of skills 'comfortable hosting', which combined with trash talk was a super big mouth: "Reggie, that is, I can only feel your presence after you open your mouth, alas, time is no more, I remember before that you not only had a good mouth, but also a good shot." ”

Miller happened to be in the open space to receive Harrington's response, and when he got the ball, he took a shot, only to have the ball bounce off the hoop.

"Mine!" Little O'Neal roared and jumped, and Rashid jumped up, but instead of following the basketball, he opened his big hand and covered Little O'Neal's face.

Why is it dark? What about balls? Little O'Neill was depressed. Hua Ben then jumped up and sucked the ball into the palm of his hand, and after holding the ball, he pouted at O'Neill Jr. and said, "What did you say?" Your shit? ”

Miller's missed miss hurt morale, and the Pacers went five minutes without a point, while the Pistons scored six straight points to extend their advantage to 19-11 at the end of less than a minute of the first quarter.

Carlisle hurriedly called a timeout, because both teams were engaged in defensive battles, so he was not depressed that the team scored too little, but it seemed that the score was too little, right?

"I said, guys, are you sleepwalking on the pitch? The first quarter is coming to an end, but look at how many points you guys have scored? 11 points! Holy shit, shit! I'm too embarrassed to say this score, why don't you try to get a single quarter single-digit score? We can still set a record in the Eastern Conference Finals! Carlisle angrily scolded, "Ron, what kind of shit are you fighting?" Jermaine, I know your back is uncomfortable, but that's not a reason for a manly man to evade responsibility! He looked at Miller and said nothing, the veteran didn't need his pointers.

After the pause, the Pacers were full of murderous energy, and their eyes were red, and seeing this, Rashid ran over stupidly to tease, and said to little O'Neal: "Man, do you have a knife hidden in the crotch of your pants?" You guys seem to be awesome, you're awesome,! ”

Rashid was still muttering, and Miller received the serve and quickly took a strong shot in front of Hamilton to cut the first three points of the opening game.

With 36 seconds left in the quarter, Pistons player, Billups wanted to end the offense in ten seconds and earn another chance to attack, but he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and Brother Pomfret, who has always been old and stable, also made a mistake, and his hand slipped a little when passing the ball, and it suddenly passed into Artest's arms.

The old handsome man was so angry that he pointed at Billups and scolded: "Did you collect Indiana's black money?" It's a pretty comfortable pass, isn't it? ”

Billups sneered, and Padding became active: "Boss, I promise I will confiscate the Pacers' black money, or will I go up?" ”

Artest came to a tough three-step layup amid Carlisle's roar, and for this bulldozer-style layup, the Pistons could only make a helpless foul, or be fouled, and Artest's bastard was to go to the basket according to their body.

Artest then hit both free throws, and in the final minute, the Pacers went on a 5-1 run to end the quarter 16-20.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Pistons' possession, Huaben's right-wing jumper did not score, and O'Neal Jr. grabbed the rebound. The Pacers began to make a menacing first offense of the second quarter, and Artest wanted to repeat the old trick and make another foul play, but Huaben's long-awaited hat was sent up, and the ball was sent out of the baseline along with the ball.

There was no foul on this block, although the action was rough. However, the action was also a little too rude, and the fans at the scene scolded wildly, after all, this is the home court of the Pacers, the referee blew a defensive foul on Huaben, and Artest got the opportunity to make free throws as he wished. It's just that Hua Ben hit a little hard just now, and he made two mistakes and one free throw.

Hamilton missed the shot, Harrington picked up the rebound, Tinsley organized the team to attack, this guy saw that his teammates said that he had not scored, and decided to go on his own.

This decision made Billups angry and blackened, Nima, you don't look at what kind of virtue you are, you can stand out as a small person? Damn, when Lao Tzu can't be guarded? In this year's playmaking guard draft, Billups is second in the East behind Kidd. Tinsley broke through, Billups got out of the way, he burst in, Billups followed, reached out, and stabbed the ball away.

However, Billups was unlucky today, this stab sent the ball to the hands of Miller on the bottom line, and Miller raised his hand to shoot, and hit a goal with a 'bang'.

"Well done!" Miller shook his fist at Tinsley, he didn't really see how the ball came from because of the angle, he thought it was a hit pass.

Billups began to laugh again, and he asked Wabben, "Do you think this will count me as an assist?" ”

Waben patted him on the shoulder, pointed at Brown and said, "You better find a way to explain how you sent this assist first, damn!" They're about to catch up with us! ”
