The successive introduction of various honors has pushed the heat of the playoffs to the forefront.

Compared with the "boring" competition, the majority of melon-eating people still prefer to discuss these honors that can be seen and touched.

News media around the world are also well versed in what is the traffic password, and find various "objective" angles to complain about the players who are not on the list, or the players who are ranked lower on the list.

This is especially true for teams that make it to the second round of the playoffs and have very few players on their team.

Of the four teams in the second round of the East, except for the Heat, who are favorites to win the championship, only one of the remaining three teams has entered the best team, and it is only a three-team.

Don't think that Big Ben is satisfied when he is selected for the Pistons, on the contrary, the media in Detroit is the one who is the most noisy.

When the Pistons won the championship last year, grassroots was still a compliment, but after the grassroots proved their strength, it was still called grassroots, which would be rude.

In addition, Mo Wen, the sixth person who went out of the original team, has entered the second team, and they are still the favorites to win the championship this year, and they only have three teams, is this reasonable?

"I don't think you can just look at the numbers, the numbers don't really quantify the quality of the players, and if you don't believe it, we'll win it again this year to prove that." Billups said confidently in front of the camera.

"We don't doubt that the Pistons can make it past the second round, but are you really confident of beating the Heat? You've only won one of the four regular season matchups, do you think you have any advantage? The reporter holding the microphone asked.

Billups didn't pause to answer: "Unity and tenacity are our strengths, and trust me, there's no team in the entire league that's more united than the Pistons, and if we can win the Lakers last year, we can win the Heat this year, and that's no problem." ”

"But as far as I know, the Knicks management team has privately approached Coach Larry Brown some time ago, and we have heard from other Pistons insiders that Coach Brown will not coach the Pistons next season, and in the case of the most critical head coach who wants to leave, do you think you will still be as united as before?"

The reporter who interviewed Billups did not follow common sense, took out the news that he didn't know where he got it, and stabbed him into the heart with a cold knife.

Hearing the news, the smile on Billups's face froze suddenly.

Some time ago, there were rumors that the old man would leave after this season, but everyone also listened to the rumors.

However, this kind of thing came out of the mouth of the media, and the reporter still said in such a positive tone, which means that... That's probably true!

On the surface, Billups can still keep smiling and thinking, but under the camera, he clenches his fists.

This old guy, no, is an old bastard... How dare he!

If it's in the offseason, it doesn't matter what Larry Brown does, he likes to go wherever he wants, that's his freedom, some people may be reluctant, but in the end, the impact on the team is not particularly big.

But now it's a critical time in the playoffs, and everyone is fighting in front of the stage, and you're privately approaching other teams to prepare for the job, whether intentionally or not, no matter how you explain it, it's an act of betrayal.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Billups still said in front of the camera to defend Larry Brown, not how much he trusts Larry Brown, but the unity of the team on the surface must be maintained.

"It's fake news, Coach Brown isn't in good shape and may have a break in mind, but he's definitely not going to abandon Detroit, well, that's all."

Without waiting for the reporter to ask any more questions, he looked back at the press officer and signaled that the other party's interview for today could be over.

Then, without waiting for the press officer to speak, he got up and left, walking in the direction of the general manager's office of the Pistons.

He's going to go to Dumas and ask what this bastard old man thinks, doing this kind of moth at this time.

···

"Shaq, are you sure you don't want to try that free-throw position, although it's a little ugly, it's a little bit motherfucker, but it's easy to use, if you can increase your free-throw shooting percentage by 20%, the Pacers' ass will definitely be kicked by you."

On the sidelines, Mo Wen sincerely suggested to him after scooping up the basketball that Ao Fat smashed the frame.

Only 13 of the 30 shots from the free throw line were hit, and Mo Wen couldn't shoot this kind of sparse shooting rate with one hand and two fingers tied up.

Ao Fat rolled his eyes and pouted, even if he was iron and made 1 of 9 free throws, he would not use that legendary shooting posture to make a free throw.

In his career of more than ten years, almost every coach, every trainer will give him this kind of advice, but he has always been left in and out of the right ear.

Low-handed shooting is also the legendary "end urinal", which has long been tested to greatly increase the free throw shooting rate, Zhang Dashuai averaged 50 points per game that season, it was played with the "end urinal" free throw, Rick Barry's teammate George Johnson even doubled his free throw shooting rate by the end urinal.

However, compared to the data, Ao Fat, who is in his thirties, still values face more.

Ao Fat: If you don't listen or don't listen, Wang Ba recites the scriptures.

Mo Wen looked at Ao Fat's determined appearance, smiled, and stopped persuading.

Normally, he would not make such a thankless suggestion, but the next round of the Heat is really not so stable.

The Pacers are strong, both of which won 62 last year when Reggie Miller and Tinsley's two outside starters were leaky defenses, and this year with the introduction of the better defensive Stephen Jackson, the defensive ability has gone up a notch.

Without a massive ban for the Auburn Hills Palace battle, the Pacers, who are missing one Atay, have conceded just 90.5 points per game this season, ranking third in the league behind the Spurs and Pistons.

After the NH rules were introduced, Stern was able to maintain this defensive intensity in the case of a dpoy, and Stern cried.

Stern: You're amazing, you're tall!

At the moment, the returning Artest may need to further integrate with the team offensively, but on the defensive end, his kung fu is not much rusty.

The Heat has an absolute advantage over this Pacer, and only Ao Fat has an absolute advantage, but there is a big risk of letting Ao Fat, who has just recovered from injury, be the main point of attack.

It is not a good idea to continue to use Wade as the main attacker, Jackson, who is opposite him, did not get the title of "Martial Saint" like in his previous life, but this does not affect the essence of his ruthless man, he also played in the lower league in his early years, and his offensive efficiency was mediocre, and he was appreciated by Popovich and Larry Bird successively, relying on his ruthless and decisive defense.

Jackson doesn't have a black foot like Bowen, but defensive moves other than scrapping are not a problem for him.

Wade hasn't been injured much so far, but it's not that there is no risk of injury, Mo Wen remembers that in the original history, it was because of Wade's injury and absence that the Heat lost this year's Eastern Conference finals.

With the existence of Mo Wen, Wade's offensive pressure will not be as great as it used to be, but the average of 27 points per game is not something he can cut down while shopping.

A little analysis shows that this round of the series will not be easy.

The Heat are having a headache on how to break through the Pacers' defense, and the Pacers are also having a headache on how to limit the Trident, oh no, it's now called the "Big Three" play.

At the end of his peak, Ao Fat was still an almost unsolvable inside problem, and the outside combination of Mo Wen and Wade was also rated as the strongest outside combination in the league by major media after sweeping the Nets troika in the first round.

The strongest inside and outside offense in the current game, coupled with excellent forward defense, even the most confident Larry Bird only dares to claim that the two teams are five or five.

"Look here, Mo likes to make fake covers at 45 degrees outside the three-point line, inducing defenders to chase or change defenses, if you give up the defensive pressure in order to predict the defense, he will seize the opportunity to step back and shoot three points..."

Before going to Miami, Carlisle was still working overtime for Artest, telling Artest on the tactical board about the points that need to be paid attention to in defense.

Yawn~

Artai bit his lip with his scalp and tried to force himself to cheer himself up with all sorts of small movements, he tried, but somehow no matter how much he concentrated, it was difficult to imprint the content of Carlisle's speech in his head.

In just a few minutes, his eyes underwent three transformations:

Tangled – Pain – Sluggishness (Wisdom)

It's like a college student sitting in the middle in a high math class - I don't want to mess up, but my ability is limited.

Carlisle, who thought he had spoken very thoroughly, swallowed his saliva to moisten his dry throat, and turned his head to look at Artey.

"Did you understand and remember what I said?"

Hearing the word "understand", Artest's spirit in the sky was immediately dragged back, and he nodded in response busily:

"I understand, I understand, I understand, I remember."

Unlike Jim Carrey, who lives on exaggerated and nonsensical expressions, Carlisle has a poker face all year round and rarely sees him have other expressions, but he still feels a little embarrassed to see the crystal at the corner of Artest's mouth.

After taking three deep breaths, Carlisle calmed his restless heart.

Forget it, this idiot is willing to sit down and listen to him, and it's not that there is no progress at all.

"Hey, you, I just said a total of 7 points, which ones do you remember?"

Artest scratched, thought for a long time, and gave Carlisle an embarrassed but polite smile.

"Uh... Do you want to try to prevent death? ”

Carlisle pursed his lips and was silent for two seconds, then looked up at Artest and said faintly:

"Speaking of which, Minnesota or Toronto, do you prefer to go somewhere?"

···

Before the game, Fat called Miller to ask Pacers fans if they wanted to go out to play together before the game, and he invited a full set of guests, and he had no other ideas, just to take the Pacers' brothers to experience the customs of Miami.

But without waiting for the Pacers coaching staff to make a move, Miller didn't even think about it and said that the Pacers all refused.

Miller, who still plays basketball in the old days, does not have the harmonious concept of hello, hello, hello, everyone.

At least in Miller's eyes, the opponent is the opponent, the enemy.

Yes on the field, and yes off the field.

There is no such thing as attending a rival party or a wedding after a game.

Moreover, Miller himself knows very well how bad his popularity is.

Just his big mouth, not to mention friends, in the next life, the yin virtue in the next life is almost overdrawn by him.

Fat's intention to suck their yang energy was too obvious, and not only did he fail to call people out, but also aroused the alarm of the entire team of Pacers.

Drink only mineral water, and eat only food from the hotel where the agreement has been signed.

It wasn't until the warm-up stage of the game on May 9 that the players of the two teams completed their first offline meeting.

However, what the Heat players didn't expect was that they had just met Atay and gave them a meeting gift.

duang~duang~duang~

There are no more specific iron numbers, but many people think that he did it on purpose.

Dozens of shots, most of which were smashed on the basket, must have been recalibrated before the game.

Ao Fat, who practiced free throws on the other side, laughed, he really couldn't imagine that in addition to Big Ben, there was an existence in the league that was more iron than him.

And Atai did not receive the influence of the outside world's gaze, but still practiced shooting on his own.

It wasn't until Mo Wen passed by him that he stopped his movements and turned his head to look at Mo Wen.

He smiled innocently, looking like a harmless older child.

Mo Wen nodded politely in response with a smile, and only after walking this way did he let go of his smile and twist his brows together.

Other Heat players may let their guard down on Artest because of his poor shooting form, but Mo Wen won't.

With the experience of the copy and the information of his past life, he knew very well what kind of person Atai was.

I really can't let my guard down on him just because he is iron.

It's different from an allin-type player who calls himself "Black Mamba" but is actually "Mangshan Soldering Iron".

Although the beast looks silly, it is not stupid in nature.

Because of mania, he also has a lot of times, but when he is awake, he can't attack, so he will focus most of his energy on defense.

In the previous Atai's record, there were many overlapping matches in the single-game scoring and steals rankings of his career.

The game kicked off with the shouts and cheers of the Heat fans.

Heat starters: Ao Fat, Haslem, Rasul, Wade, Mo Wen;

Pacers starters: Foster, Ao, Artey, Jackson, Tinsley;

Two O'Neal jumped balls, and Xiao Ao, who weighed only 3/4 of O'Neal's weight, grabbed the basketball without suspense.

Ah Tai pouted when he saw this scene, and only at this time could Xiao Ao have a sense of existence.

Disdainful and disdainful, he is still very active in pressing forward quickly with the team.

After Pacers point guard Tinsley got the ball, he didn't advance far before being stopped by Wade.

Seeing that the advance was blocked, Tinsley decisively took the ball and passed to Xiao Ao on the flank behind him.

Stopping at the elbow area with his back to the ball, and feeling the top defense of Haslem behind him, he didn't choose to attack on his own, but instead scanned the Pacers players around him.

Both Bird and Carlisle are very good at coaching teams without superstars.

The tactics they devise are not usually complicated, let alone subtle, but they are more stable.

The Pacers are now executing tactics that look like they are running in a disorderly manner, but in fact they are doing a lot of off-ball screen blocking.

Unlike the Heat, who have a clear distinction between the main attacker and the tool man, the Pacers are not so differentiated, and everyone can be the initiator of the offense every turn.

Surprisingly, Artest was the first to run out of the empty seat.

Looking at the position of the three-point line, Xiao Ao hesitated for half a second and passed the ball over.

Mo Wen, who was closest to Atai, chose to change his guard without hesitation.

Before Atai could dribble and get up to speed, he hit Mo Wen's body headlong.

Hiss –

Hiss –

After a brief contact, the two each took a half-step back.

I can't imagine that I won't see you this year, and it's still that smell!

It's not that I'm lazy and don't want to more, you may not believe it, now I can't write a thousand words an hour, I can also water, write faster, put a data, count honors, describe a little psychology, one sentence stir-fry three times, but I don't know why I can't write so much, I feel like I'm not writing.

From the beginning, I wanted to imitate the style of the rabbit and write a book refreshingly.

But this one has good results, and I don't want to be too sorry for everyone's subscription money.

You can see,After it was put on the shelf,I haven't put out the protagonist data with a lot of words of water (there will be stickers if there is a need in the future),I only reported the title of the song before writing the song, and there are no water lyrics.,A lot of places that can water are not water, and it is estimated that I often Kavin.。

Speaking of which, my own problems are also very big, the preliminary planning is not in place, many of the plot arrangements are relatively rough, and the foreshadowing is relatively small, which leads to stumbling now, and I can only use the small plot to be insufficient and the big plot is insufficient. This is also a big reason why I am slow to write now.
