Chapter Twenty-Seven: That's It
Coming back from half-time, most of the gas in the first half has been digested.
However, the defensive intensity on the field has not weakened in the slightest.
O'Neill went up and fought with Big Ben in the penalty area, the elbow that should be on the elbow, the upper lute leg that should be on the lute leg.
After a while, the table was full of dishes.
When the Pistons saw this, the dishes were full, so hurry up and eat.
Five people work together against a table of dishes, arm by arm, sleeve by sleeve.
In the summer, the northern man came out in the middle of the night to drink draft beer and skewers.
In one of O'Neal's blocks, the ball didn't come down and the wrist snapped.
Ignoring Big Ben, he had nowhere to go, standing on the line of the penalty area, waiting triumphantly to grab the rebound.
A penalty missed.
"My grandma is better at free throws than you."
Two missed penalties.
"I was wrong just now, it should be, everyone is better than you."
O'Neal, who grabbed the rebound, still pretended to show off in front of Big Ben, what is the peak of the center's dribble.
Back to Big Ben on the defensive end, without waiting for O'Neal to get stuck in the position, he went around the front in advance, and the return hand was an iron elbow.
O'Neill's huge body fell to the ground in response.
Before being hit by an elbow, O'Neal took a special body test and exposed his vision to the baseline referee.
It can also allow the referee to see clearly, and it can reduce the injury of elbows.
The whistle blew.
Big Ben picked up his fourth foul of the game.
"Oh, it's time to go down!"
"Don't come up and be embarrassed when you go down!"
Peyton hurriedly came up to pull O'Neal who fell to the ground, of course he couldn't pull it up alone, and Malone also came over.
Two people one sentence, one singing and one harmony.
While pulling up O'Neill, he didn't forget to spray two sentences.
Of course, Big Ben is not a soft persimmon, how can he be so easy to be fooled after playing for so many years, and now it is a matter of whose patience is better.
While the Suns four-man team was counting the Pistons, the Pistons were also counting the Suns.
Billups and Williams were keen to increase the number of attacks on the inside, leaving O'Neal's defensive box overcrowded.
There are more people, and the referee will not see it so clearly.
Although the score is ugly, it is definitely not a loss to let O'Neill play.
O'Neal was given two elbows one after the other, and Malone knew it was time to make a move.
Giving Payton a look, Malone ran to the offensive half.
Malone came up to block Payton, and Payton made an emergency stop after the pick-and-roll, and then entered the penalty area from his original position.
Billups was shaken by this sudden change of direction, and he didn't react, and Ma Long, who was blocked and dismantled, stuck his position in advance and flew out.
The referee didn't blow the whistle, Payton's offense continued, and Payton, who was in the game, went straight to Ben.
Big Ben wanted to make an offensive foul, but Payton had an idea, threw a shot in the process of three steps, and instantly raised his knee and hit Big Ben in the abdomen.
The ball thrown out here was completed by O'Neal under the basket.
On the other side, Payton and Big Ben both fell to the ground, Payton clutching his knees and Big Ben clutching his stomach.
When Bai Fan saw this scene, his heart tugged at his throat.
A knee injury is a big injury, and this kind of injury is the last thing Bai Fan wants to see.
The whistle blew, Big Ben blocked the foul, and the two points were invalid.
O'Neal dunked and landed on the ground, along with the other players who came over to care for Payton.
Payton lay down for a few seconds, making sure that Big Ben had eaten a foul, and then slowly got up.
Pretending to take two steps, he was replaced by Carlisle to check the injury.
"It's okay, I just bumped it, Ben hurts more than me."
In the face of Carlisle's concern, Peyton whispered the truth.
Taking the initiative and being the maker of this foul, Payton will certainly protect himself on the premise.
Otherwise, this loss will be a bit of a loss.
Just over halfway through the third quarter, Da Gong ended up with five fouls, and several people were finished.
It's not what I expected, but it's just the regular season, so there's no need to move in the direction of additional penalties.
At least until the first half of the fourth quarter, Big Ben won't be on the court again.
The Pistons without Big Ben are like a dam without a floodgate, and in the face of the Suns' interior offense, the defensive intensity plummets.
O'Neal was replaced by Carlisle to rest after a six-pointer, and after checking the injured Payton, he continued to be on the court with Ragabel, Marion, Miller and West.
At the end of the third quarter, Hamilton, who was cautious and went off the court early, did not continue to receive fouls.
However, it also gave the Suns the opportunity to expand the score and stretch the margin to 10 points in one fell swoop.
As soon as the fourth quarter began, Hamilton came on early, and with a group of Pistons bench players, began to chase points.
Wade also appeared early and firmly grasped the lead of ten points with Malone.
Two minutes later, Billups was also called on early.
The Pistons' backcourt pair of shots really started to work, and Wade and Ragabel were a bit embarrassed.
A small surge of 10:2 narrowed the score to only three points.
Carlisle quickly called a timeout, regrouped, and put all the starters on the field.
In Big Ben's absence, O'Neal easily scored two points to extend the margin to five.
Billups turned around with a three-pointer to close the gap again.
Wade broke through for a layup, Shabu Shabu got the rebound for O'Neal to get the rebound, and Marion hit a mid-range shot.
However, Hamilton's one-shot break and assisted Billups to score another three-pointer to tie the gap by one point.
In the final quarter, Wade did not rest for a minute, and the score on the court also rose alternately.
Billups' three-pointer was 4-of-5 in the final 10 minutes of the final quarter, allowing O'Neal to use his suffocating strength to bite the score.
In the final minute, the Suns trailed by one point at 83:84.
Carlisle called a timeout and took the tactics board.
"It's still a point to hit Shaq, the ball position can be a little deeper, Gary pays attention when passing, don't be stealed, and the opponent must be resolute in committing a foul when playing fast."
After speaking, he looked at O'Neal and said: "You can try to make a foul and let Ben out of the game, but we must first ensure that we have a score lead." ”
"Gary has to stick to Chauncy when he defends, and he can't give him another chance to shoot three-pointers."
Back on the court, O'Neal was in a position near the baseline, and after Payton and Wade passed twice, he gave the ball to O'Neal from the bottom corner three-point line.
Malone and Marion have already pulled defenders to the other side, and Wade is bringing in his own defenders quickly.
O'Neal faced Big Ben and ate one-on-one, and this attack was very important and had to be scored.
Hold the ball in front of your chest, lean back to test the position of the big base, and find that there is room to turn, and turn your back to dunk directly.
Big Ben can't stop O'Neal's dunk, no matter whether his team can win or not, in short, he can't let O'Neal's ball go in.
The whistle blew and O'Neal stepped onto the free-throw line.
