414. Tough guys or soft bones

After hitting the three-point shot, Huaben proudly raised his arms and stretched out three fingers after landing on the ground, and the fans stood up feverishly and shouted: "MVP, boss!" MVP, Boss! MVP, Boss! ”

Artest gave Tinsley a stupid serve, muttering, "It's just a goal, what's there to be arrogant about?" Lao Tzu will give you one back. []”

Tinsley didn't take care of Artest's emotions and still passed the ball to O'Neal Jr. on the inside. In this game, O'Neal Jr. played in form, and when there was no injury concern, he was one of the top big men in the East.

However, O'Neill Jr. is also in trouble now, as he is now facing tough guy Mourning.

Anderson has good defensive awareness and physical fitness, Mourning has always liked him, but rarely adjusts him, because the two are two types of defense, Mourning relies more on his strong body to give the opponent strong pressure, while Anderson uses strong bounce, bounce speed and arm span to interfere with or block the opponent's layup. To put it bluntly, Mourning likes to strike first, and Anderson is good at making last-strikes.

As soon as O'Neal Jr. got the ball, Mourning got stuck from behind, his chest muscles tightened, and his strong crotch pressed against the opponent's ass, pushing him out of the way with a single effort.

Seeing this, Barkley laughed, he looked at little O'Neill with pity, and said, "Jermaine's poor ass is going to suffer, I know what Alonzo's scoundrel wants to do, he wants to blow up Jermaine's chrysanthemum!" ”

Smith agreed: "It's the right way to defend, and to reduce the threat of O'Neal Jr., let him stay away from the hoop, the farther away the better!" Although his mid-range shot is very sharp, he has a good defense, which can be ignored. ”

"Jaime must have envied me because of this, because if he had a big ass as attractive as mine. Alonzo's defence became a joke. He can easily sit and die with this guy, haha, it's a shame not everyone has a big ass like mine. So Cameron. Anthony will have a big impact because he is the closest person to me in terms of size. Barkley said with a shy face.

TNT's host Earl. Johnson glanced at Barkley's ass and said, "Charles." You've got a sexy butt, especially since retiring, I don't think Oprah (America's most famous talk show host, known for his plump body) has a beautiful butt that compares to you, and judging by the width of your pelvis, if you're a woman, you can even give birth to a litter of Tyrannosaurus rex! ”

Smith was overjoyed, Barkley blackened his face and said, "Watch the ball." Watch the ball, quick, guys. Alonzo was cleaning up the poor child. {}”

O'Neill Jr. retreats with the ball. wanted to distance himself from Monin, who kept forcing him. kept squeezing him out of the penalty area, at this time O'Neill Jr. wanted to use the space advantage to break through, but Warben threw off Artest and came up to trap him.

Seeing this, O'Neill Jr. had to raise his arm high to pass the ball, as soon as the ball flew out, Patin rushed out from the flank and stabbed it, Oku tacitly grabbed the ball, Patin rushed forward after landing on the ground, and received a half-court fifteen-meter long pass directly after receiving Oku's pass: Martin has rushed into the front penalty area!

After receiving a pass from Pattin, Martin took three steps to pick up the basket and sent the ball into the hoop with precision.

Carlisle frowned and roared, "Hey, don't let them attack quickly, card slot, card slot, card slot!" Damn, didn't I tell you what to do?! ”

Tinsley ran forward with the ball, Padding came up and pestered him to pick up the ball, Johnson rushed to catch it, and after getting the ball, he quickly rushed into the three-point line and shook Patin for a jumper.

Artest cut in from the box and Johnson didn't shoot, but passed the ball to him. Getting the ball, Artest tilted his head and made a shooting feint, and Wabeto remained motionless, staring at the opponent half a step in front of him.

Seeing this, Artest didn't dare to move, so he had to pass the ball to Tinsley on the periphery, who took advantage of Pattin's relaxation and dribbled the ball with his left hand to break through. Tinsley, who has never shown much, bared his fangs at this moment, and after breaking through Pattin's blockade, he took advantage of his small size to roam the interior and finally threw a shot under the basket to cut down two points. …,

The Pacers bit the score tightly, and both sides played conservatively, with less than 1 minute left in the first quarter.

Wabeen got the ball in the free throw area, he carried the ball on his shoulder and faced Artest, first tried his feet to make a breakthrough move, the latter quickly took half a step back, saw this Waben moved a step sideways and jumped up quickly, leaned back to open the distance, aimed at the hoop and moved the ball in his hand.

Artest was startled, chased and jumped, raising his hand to cover the flying basketball. But there was distance between the two, and Hua Ben still threw a jump shot from his back, not to mention blocking, and he didn't even interfere with it.

"Huh!" The basketball falls into the hoop and carries the net around.

Tinsley broke through again, Patin chased him closely, forcing him to pass the ball and Jackson got on the ball for a jumper.

Everyone turned their eyes to the basketball hoop, and there was a 'boom' sound, and the pleasant sound of striking iron sounded.

Hua Ben ran and jumped, hugged the basketball into his arms, and shouted: "A ton of iron!" ”

The Pacers' players stepped back like a tide, and Patin pressed the tempo. Mourning was on the inside, Waeben slipped down the baseline, Gerrard and Martin were scattered outside the three-point line on the left and right wings, and Patin watched the basket and made a direct pass.

O'Neill Jr. and Artest capture Waben together, and the two of them wrap him up to death, but what about the ball?

Mourning got the ball and was unguarded, and he even had time to adjust his posture and footwork to end the game with a spinning dunk that he hadn't performed in a long time.

Carlisle shook his head, the first quarter of the game was too stinky, mainly after Mourning came on the court, the Bobcats' interior offensive end was opened.

With 26 seconds left, Tinsley dribbled the ball to the death, and in the last eight seconds, O'Neal Jr. and Jackson covered each other, the former rushed from the low post to the high post, and the latter ran from the high post into the low post, and Tinsley hurriedly passed the ball to O'Neal Jr.

O'Neal Jr. faced Gerrard with the ball and jumped up to shoot.

The mismatch was a beautiful one, and the Bobcats players hadn't reacted yet, and they had already made a good attack.

Jordan was ready to take a timeout, with only 5.8 seconds left and a buzzer-kicking shot.

Patin shook his hand, he motioned for Mourning to serve, and after getting the ball, he turned sharply and shook off Tinsley, ran downward, and rushed towards the Pacers' interior line like a gallop, without hesitation!

This kind of pure speed impact is Iverson's best offensive method, and it is easy to disrupt the opponent's defensive formation, and Patin did this, Artest and Jackson were both intrigued, and when the two found a hole in the defense, it was too late to make up for the hole.

Not only did Patin rush forward at high speed, but Wabeon was also running wildly, and he cut into the three-point line from the middle of the left wing, like a sharp knife stabbing the heart of a progressive walker, sharp, fierce, and fast!

Patin seems to have guessed Huaben's choice a long time ago, and he didn't look at the lateral pass, Huaben received the ball, his body speed did not decrease, and he still ran wildly inward, taking three steps in succession, he had entered the penalty area, and then jumped into the air with lightning speed.

At this time, the Pacers' people were still paying attention to Pattin, and in the blink of an eye, Huaben had already rushed into the box with the ball, and his arms were waving and dunking.

The rebounds then turned red, and the first quarter was over, leaving the Bobcats in the lead.

Seeing Huaben's unscrupulous impact and violent dunk, the big men in TNT's live broadcast room were shaking their heads: "The Pacers' defense has a problem, this is not a playoff team at all, they have leaked people, and they have missed the most unworthy people, Ron's defense today is like tofu, this is not the Pacers we are familiar with." ”

At the end of the first quarter, although the Pacers didn't fall behind by much, the points they lost happened when they shouldn't have done so, which was the most confusing for expert reporters and veteran fans. …,

Being able to lead by 6 points is not that the Bobcats played very well, in fact, the Bobcats did not play the third strength in the East in the first quarter, Iguodala and Martin, these rookies played shrunk, and Oku did not find a feeling in the power forward position, as if he was invisible, and if the Pacers seized the opportunity, they could even lead by double digits.

This is not the YY of the fans, the Pacers have this strength. Before the 2005 season, the NBA was recognized as a playoff powerhouse with the Spurs in the West, and the horror of this team needs no more to say. The East is the Pacers, and after Bird coached the team and insisted on the two tough guys of O'Neal Jr. and Artest as the core of the team, the team quickly developed its own spirit, which is to become more courageous and rock-solid.

From Miller's time to the present, the Pacers have always given the impression of being a strong team, but today it is not visible.

Fans can see this problem, and the manager on the pitch has no problem. Jordan took the tactical board and shouted while deploying tactics according to the plan: "In the second quarter, Ben will be the main attacker, guys, let him come, Artest's soft bones are afraid of Ben, I know that this guy is not a tough guy at all, he is a girl with plastic muscles!" ”

There is also a bit of a problem between Jordan and Artest, the latter's first stop in the NBA was the Bulls, when the Bulls wanted to find Jordan a tough assistant, so they chose Artest in the draft. As a result, this guy was so hard-hearted, in an intra-team training, he directly hit Huaben with a broken rib and spent two months in the hospital recuperating from his injuries!

Carlisle also noticed this problem, and today Artest seemed to be sleepwalking, both offensively and defensively, and he replaced the two defenders with Fred. Jones and Eddie. Jill.

The Pacers' guard line is blue-collar and has no defenders as talented as Patin, and the team relies on a strong forward line of O'Neal Jr., Artest and Jackson. If Artest continues to slump today, they will lose this game.

Carlisle didn't replace Artest, but gave him a deep trust: "Ron, kill their No. 1, you can do it, because you have the hardest bones in Indiana!" ”

Jordan also simply adjusted the lineup, Artest's slump allowed him to use the heavy cannon of Capo, originally Gerrard went up to defend Artest, and now the opponent is so soft, it is a good time for Capono to play.
