Chapter 471: Cowards Are Afraid

No one expected that the words that were supposed to be satirical reporters would become known all over the United States.

Oran Multimedia still remembers the playoff scene five years ago, watching the scene of Maddie being brought down again and again.

Otis Smith was even more worried: "Basketball is not violence, I believe the league will make the most correct decisions to protect the course of the game, we in Orlando condemn those who deliberately lead, and we believe that the Detroit Pistons players have good professionalism." ”

Stan Van Gundy was not at ease, and on the night before the game, he made a point of telling Linsen to pay more attention during the game.

Although the team is enough to be called strong without Lin Sen, it is no longer the most competitive.

This is the same reason that Detroit is missing Billups, but Linson is more important than Billups, and if there is an accident, this is absolutely unacceptable to Orlando.

"Don't worry, how can there be a problem, I will be careful." There were still two hours before the Pistons, and Lin Sen received calls one after another who cared about him.

Lin Sen, who was not worried, was also a little worried by the words of concern.

Hanging up the phone with Calerona, Lin Sen revisited the game footage.

With Billups missing this season, Detroit's offensive load has become more team-based, with Hamilton eye-catching on the pitch despite the transfer scandal.

His pick-and-roll cooperation with Rasheed Wallace is eye-catching, and it is also the offensive tactic that the Pistons rely on this season.

Hamilton also has more movement and singles is back to when Washington played with Jordan.

The Pistons have averaged 21 points per game this season, and the Pistons were the main scorers in the first two games of the playoffs.

It's just that his personal shooting percentage under the Magic defense is far worse than in the regular season, but even so, he still scored 44 points in two games.

In this game, Linson will be the defender for Hamilton. It will also be a direct conversation between Linson and Hamilton.

He hadn't tried to defend Hamilton before. However, Lin Sen knew that as long as the Hamilton Pistons were sealed, it would be equivalent to disarming and surrendering.

Auburn Hills Palace. This is one of the most famous arenas in NBA history.

Auburn Hills Palace Arena is the only stadium among the NBA's 30 teams located far from the city center, and it is located in Auburn Hills, a suburb 80 kilometers from downtown Detroit, which is where the stadium's name comes from.

Sitting on the bus and looking at the mountains in the distance, the Auburn Hills Palace is getting closer and closer.

Private cars pass by from time to time next to the bus, as well as fans walking towards the Palace of Auburn Hills.

Seeing that it was a magic bus, he even made a provocative move.

Before coming Stan. Van Gundy stressed over and over again not to be provoked, and the whole team should not be able to see the same as the fans who were looking at the provocation at this moment.

"Orlando softets! Come and lick! ”

"Hey, Orlando guys. You will not take away the victory! ”

"Go back to Orlando!"

……

As soon as the team stepped off the bus, they were greeted by overwhelming sounds.

Everyone walked straight to the locker room, and most of the people in the dressing room of the home and away teams had solemn faces.

The home team's Pistons naturally don't want to lose, 0:2 has put them under a lot of pressure, although they also know the difference in strength between the two sides, but losing and being swept are two different things.

Especially now under the rendering of the media, although the piston is not the previous piston, there is still blood flowing with the original piston in the bones, and the spiritual backbone of the piston can still be found.

So they have a grim look on their faces, and this game is a battle for them.

And inside the away team's locker room. Stan. Van Gundy glanced at the team.

"Remember not to be provoked, everyone should pay attention today. I don't want to see anyone get hurt. "Stan. Van Gundy emphasized, looking at Artest at random.

Artest was one of the absolute protagonists in the events of the Auburn Hills palace at the time. Wallace has left Detroit, but fans here will still remember Artest.

Artest's temper in Orlando this season is also worried by the coaching staff, but it turns out that the coaching staff is overwhelmed, and Artest's temper is very good this season.

He only got three technical fouls, and two of them were because the opponent fouled Lin Sen relatively big, and he got it out of the way.

The rest of the time, even if he was fouled himself, he controlled his temper.

"Stan, you don't have to look at me, I won't be impulsive, of course they can't hurt our people, otherwise I won't be polite." Artest looks at Stan. Van Gundy said.

"No matter how impulsive, we're O'Brien Cup, they're not, and we can't bury a season of hard work because of a conflict.

A qiē handed over to the referee, I believe it will not mess around, I heard that David. Stern is also in Detroit, so rest assured.

Come on for the next game, Wood, you're on the outside tonight, try not to break through. Stan Van Gundy finished speaking, and the staff urged the Magic players to come out.

"I smell a lot of gunpowder in this game, and I hope it's a good game today, but don't let the rest of the things happen." Hoffman said.

"Yes, give the win to basketball and nothing else, today David . Stern is also on the sidelines, maybe bad things won't happen, look at the police tonight. "Bill. Wharton continued.

In the frantic boo, the Magic players came out one after another, except for Billups, who received a little boo, everyone else without exception received a lot of boos, especially Artest and Linson.

When the signature flames of the Palace of Auburn Hills erupted, the atmosphere of the entire arena was ignited at once.

"This battle of focus is about to begin, and whether Detroit, who are 2-0 down, can hold on to their home stadium and whether Orlando can break through Auburn Hills Palace will be revealed in two and a half hours.

Dwight and Jason jump ball, no suspense jump ball. "Bill. Wharton said as he looked at the field.

Lin Sen easily got the ball from Howard, and Lin Sen did not rush to attack when he held the ball.

Instead, he looked at Rodney in front of him. Starkey, the rookie guard who was selected by the Pistons with the 15th pick this year, was supposed to play off the bench behind Billups.

Then learn from Billups. As a result, Billups traveled to the Orlando Magic, which made Phillip. Sanders had to put him on the starting point guard early.

This season's numbers are not bad. With an average of 13 points and 4.2 assists per game, he was named to the rookie first team.

In this game, Sanders mainly used Prince to defend Linson. Although Starkey is a rookie who is physically strong and improves quickly, Sanders does not dare to try lightly.

Facing the rookie Starki in front of him, Lin Sen smiled slightly, and the rhythm of the dribble was sometimes fast and sometimes slow.

A little bit of dribbling recommendation, Starkey didn't dare to press up lightly, and retreated a little bit when Lin Sen was advancing a little bit.

"Rookie, you couldn't stop me in the first two games, do you think you can stop me this time?" Lin Sen said with a smile.

Rodney. Starkey didn't speak. Instead, he glared at Lin Sen.

Lin Sen raised his right hand high, and his teammates immediately knew what he was thinking.

However, Lin Sen did not choose to break through, but chose to turn on the spot and play with his back to the single.

Lin Sen completely leaned his back on Starkey's body, and Starkey didn't expect Lin Sen to attack like this.

If he is afraid of Lin Sen's breakthrough, then he must not be afraid of Lin Sen's forced singles.

Because his physical strength is his biggest asset, but in fact, he completely underestimated Lin Sen.

The moment Lin Sen stuck to him, he felt that Lin Sen's strength was extraordinary.

The strength was much stronger than he had imagined, and Starkey gritted his teeth against Lin Sen.

"Oh, Wood chose to play with his back to his body, you know, rookie Rodney relies on his body the most. And he's also very good at breaking through. Hoffman said as he looked at the court.

Facing the rookie Starkey, who was slightly better in height and weight than himself, Lin Sen hit him backwards with all his strength. At the same time, slap the ball hard.

Boom!

Linson's first impact was completely blocked by Starkey, which sent the Auburn Hills Palace fans screaming wildly.

Lin Sen's two ears were like installing automatic blocking sound insulation equipment, completely ignoring the provocations of fans.

Starkey tried hard to push Lin Sen, but Lin Sen's second impact soon came.

Under Lin Sen's two consecutive impacts, Starkey took a small step back.

And this small step became the beginning of his defensive collapse, and Linson's third impact followed.

Starkey's whole body immediately took a step back again, just as Starkey gritted his teeth and tried to put it back on.

Lin Sen directly turned around and accelerated on the spot, and when he saw Lin Sen's movements, Starki immediately moved his feet.

However, this was the moment that Linsen was waiting for, and as Starkey moved his footsteps, Linsen slapped the ball with his left hand.

The ball passed under the crotch to the right hand, and at the same time, the left foot took a big step back, and the whole person directly exited the three-point line.

Starki was stunned for a moment, watching the gap between the two of them widen in an instant, and immediately wanted to make up for it.

But Linson didn't give him a chance and jumped straight from beyond the three-point line under Starkey's gaze.

"Wood, Wood, Wood's false breakthrough after Wood's back turned is a real retreat, Wood's three-pointer, is there any!" Bill. Wharton raised his voice and shouted.

The ball jumped high over Starki's fingers and flew to the basket, and Rashid on the inside. Wallace and Jason. Mark Hill immediately scrambled for position.

The elbow-waving roar made Howard's heart palpitate, but Linson didn't give them a chance to grab the rebound.

The ball was steadily drilled into the basket, and Lin Sen looked at Starkey in front of him: "Sorry, I scored!" ”

"Wood hit a three-point shot, the first shot of the opening game, Wood opened the game with a three-point Orlando, it looks like Wood is hot, I don't know if Detroit can resist!" Hoffman said.

And soon Sanders found that Linson did not enter the inside line at all, but kept passing the ball on the outside and then looking for opportunities to shoot.

It was almost the opposite of his pre-game defense, and after six minutes of the first quarter, Sanders called a second timeout, by which time the Pistons, who were playing at home, had trailed by 12 points and looked like they were about to collapse from the start.

Linson scored 14 of the Magic's 20 points alone, hitting three three-pointers from the field, and the Pistons' outside defense was almost completely defeated.

"Tyshawn, you're completely taking over the task of defending Wood, and I don't want to see him continue to be so exaggerated." Sanders glanced at his teammates and yelled, "Is your defense for Orlando to see?" Where is the defensive intensity? Only a coward would be afraid! Take out the intensity, listen to the shouts of the fans, intensity intensity! (To be continued......)
