Rasheed Wallace was suspended, not because he received an additional penalty. Rather, it was because he automatically triggered the 'automatic ban' clause.

In the NBA, if you get seven technical fouls in the playoffs, you are automatically suspended for one game. In the regular season, he ate 16 times and was automatically banned for one game.

That's the price Rasheed Wallace paid for his fiery temper, with Larry Brown and Pistons management lashing out at the league for a while, with Joe Dumas even firing at the league's top brass bluntly: "It's blatant favoritism toward the Pacers." ”

They also appealed the last-minute penalty in the first game.

The result, of course, is not supported.

…

Suhi had a great day with Carlos Boozer and Jason Capo, and Suhi drove them around the beauty of Indiana, and they were often recognized by the locals. Many Pacers fans gave Sushi a thumbs up and praised him for his great performance on Friday night.

The eyes of the fans are the most real, and those critics can only influence the fans who only look at the data, and the data is very deceptive... Even if Suhi's stats are very good.

But anyone who watched the game will know how amazing Suhi's dominance was in the final moments of that game on Friday night.

The data does not reflect that kind of murderous spirit, the pride of a lone soldier who goes deep into the killing with one shot.

Carlos Boozer and Jason Capono were also welcomed by Pacers fans, with some even inviting them to join the Pacers.

Achai Abu gladly accepted, of course... They themselves know that this is impossible.

The second Eastern Conference Finals came on Monday night.

Prior to that, the Los Angeles Lakers with a super F4 roster won an away game in Minnesota, O'Neal built a devastating dominance in the paint, and the super-big stats of 32 points and 24 rebounds left the Timberwolves in the restricted area miserable, leaving the rumors who claimed that O'Neal's peak was no longer in the air.

O'Neal's strong performance also made people turn their minds to the Eastern side, the Pacers and Pistons, who can compete with Shaq O'Neal?

The Pistons have the Wallace brothers, and they look like they can play a limiting role.

The Pacers have stockpiled a whole bunch of big-tonnage centers: these guys are usually useless, but everyone knows that once they make it to the Finals, they're going to jump into the fray quickly.

And whether it is the media's estimates or the fans' predictions. They all think that as long as the Lakers enter the Finals, they will be unstoppable in the face of Eastern teams. Both the Pistons and the Pacers will be defeated by their unstoppable offensive firepower.

In a way, it doesn't matter so much when it comes to the big picture of the league: the Lakers winning the championship seems to be a given.

Otherwise, wouldn't Karl Malone and Gary Payton be in vain?

…

Monday night's Pistons adopted a new lineup, with Turk's Merteoku coming into the starting lineup and forming a new twin tower with Ben Wallace.

Rasheed Wallace sat on the sidelines in baggy jeans and a T-shirt a few sizes larger, like a menacing bodyguard.

He is believed to have been humiliated by Suhi on Friday, who stepped on his head to get the win, and his provocation before the Pacers' last timeout was described by netizens on the internet as the key to Suhi the Sheep's bloodthirsty instincts: he clearly didn't want to act as such an activator.

There are even Pacers fans who claim to award him the MVP of the last game.

Of course, there are also people who feel that she should advance tonight's MVP in advance.

Sitting on the bench is a huge strategic loss for the Pistons, who have to contend with missing an important link on the inside.

This greatly liberated O'Neal Jr.'s fighting power, the Pacers' first offense, O'Neal Jr. held the ball to face Oku, he used a beautiful feint to point Oku, and then turned his back, from the baseline into the box, and split the basketball into the blue frame with his left hand.

At that moment, Suxi understood that tonight was stable.

In fact, it turns out that O'Neal Jr. is a talented super power forward, and no one dares to deny the fact that he has long surpassed Chris Webber, Nowitzki, Rasheed Wallace and other All-Star forwards to become the current third most powerful forward.

He has a wealth of delicate offensive skills, as long as he doesn't encounter extremely high defensive loads. He can win an average of 20+10+4+2 per game with high efficiency in every game.

Oku obviously can't provide a lot of high-intensity defense, and if Ben Wallace puts his defensive focus on O'Neal Jr., Suhey will come in like lightning from the top of the arc.

And tonight, Atay finally came out of the turmoil of being abused by his wife, and his mentality was very peaceful, as can be seen from his two consecutive three-pointers in the first quarter.

So, Suhi went back to the bench after five minutes of the first quarter and didn't play until four minutes left in the second quarter.

Walkers stay ahead of the curve throughout.

Suhi stepped up the lead after coming on, and the Pistons' defense was fully challenged.

Larry Brown racked his brains and couldn't find a way to deal with it, so he could only tear down the east wall and make up the west wall... Soon, both the east and west walls fell.

When the game reached the fourth quarter, there was no suspense.

The Pistons held on until the seventh minute, and Larry Brown replaced Milicic.

When talking about the elite of the 2003 rookies, there is little mention of Milicic, who wasn't even selected to the All-Star Game, and the young European center didn't get even the most basic rotation time with the Pistons.

Larry Brown is very distrustful of rookies and very demanding, and the European talent, who doesn't even speak English very well, is going through one of the most oppressive moments of his life.

Suhi and Milicic exchanged photos before he went off the pitch.

On last summer's draft night, Milicic was the highly-anticipated super-list, and Suhi was the much-questioned No. 8 pick. Now, less than a year later, they are going head-to-head in the Eastern Conference Finals, and their status is very different.

Milicic watched Sushi go off the pitch amid the cheers of the crowd, his eyes were confused.

He didn't know where to go.

But he still remembers Suhey's encouragement when they first met, and it was a glimmer of light that he continued to hold on to when he wanted to mess up countless times.

96：75。

The Pacers took home their second home court to take a 2-0 overall lead.

"It's a continuation of the first game, or rather a continuation after two technical fouls by Rasheed Wallace. In fact, the Pacers won just one game. ”

Kenny Smith said in a 2-0 run after the game.

His face was red and his heart was not beating.

The psychological quality is excellent.

Charles Barkley, who supported the Pacers, didn't have any reason for him, and it was like, 'yes, I was beaten up by you, but so what?' We're going to win it back anyway. ’

He possessed a kind of blind optimism, and Smith did not take the 0-2 deficit seriously at all.

In fact, the Pistons are showing that vibe.

Larry Brown was still smiling as he left the field, and Rashid Wallace, who was following him, even waved at the fans who booed and hurled insults at him. His demeanor is full of words: When Lao Tzu comes back, Lao Tzu will definitely kill you!

They seem to have infinite confidence and strength, and there is a feeling that a table tennis master will let you have three balls first.

Suhi did not give a post-game interview, and he had a 'mediocre performance' in this game: 13 points, 8 assists, 5 rebounds and 2 steals.

O'Neal Jr. had 29 points, 16 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 blocks and 1 steal tonight, and he played super inside statistics. After the game, he gave a lot of media interviews and went to the post-match press conference.

…

Larry Bird approached Suhey on Tuesday, and he finally brought Suhee Michael Jordan's 'one-of-a-kind cheats'.

After Su Xi listened, he was a little stunned.

Larry Bird thought Suhi was surprised, and he also deliberately said to Suhi: "This is the training method I got from flying to Charlotte to find Michael Jordan, which is to increase the weight of the basketball..."

Suhi still thanked Bird, after all, Bird brought him two idiosyncratic balls.

However, he knew this method as early as last summer.

What is Michael Jordan's 'secret ingredient', doesn't Tim Grover know yet? He's Jordan's personal trainer.

He has long taught this set to Suhi, but the reason why Suxi's ball-holding jumper is not stable is because of physical fitness.

Not every player with a big palm can shoot with two weighted basketballs, and Jordan's unique cheats are only available to him. It's not possible to paint a tiger from a cat.

Unless... Can be copied from Jordan with his full set of technical talents.

Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals will be played at the Auburn Hills Palace Arena in Detroit, with the Pistons next two home courts. The Eastern Conference Finals follow a 2-2-1-1-1 format, which is fairer. In contrast, the current 2-3-2 format in the Finals is considered to be more beneficial to teams with poor regular season records.

The Pistons have a lot of confidence in themselves, and dropping two away games is completely not serious for them.

The players aren't worried, the head coach isn't, the fans aren't, and basketball pundits still think they have a better chance of making it to the Finals.

The reasons are the same as before.

As Kenny Smith said, Game 2 was a continuation of the last few minutes of Game 1, and the Pistons couldn't have beaten the Pacers without Rashid Wallace.

But when Rashid returns, how will the Pacers respond?

And most importantly... Larry Brown has studied Suhey thoroughly through two games.

Larry Brown was very clear in his post-match press conference at the Conceco Arena: "Let's see what interesting changes will happen in Game 3. ”

The playoffs are about 'who has more research and who has fewer weaknesses' and who evolves faster.

"Sushi the Sheep is a three-board axe, breakthrough, passing, and body pestle." On the plane back to Detroit, Rasheed Wallace exclaimed, "We all take him too seriously." He has the fitness to play for a maximum of 25 minutes, and if we continue to wear him down, we may even have a chance to push him to 20 minutes. ”

"He can't jump yet." Prince said, "He always makes a low-handed layup. ”

'When he breaks through, we have to focus on cutting his passes, and his shots aren't that precise. Billups is also echoing.

That's what all three video analysts for the Pistons said.

Each team has a dedicated video analyst whose job it is to capture the tactical dynamics of the opponent and study the technical characteristics of the opposing players.

Many NBA head coaches start out as video analysts.

Video analyst and scout, two professions that are the cradle of good head coaches.

Larry Brown encourages the players to have this kind of technical analysis session, which will increase the cohesion and morale of the team.

Especially in the case of a loss.

But the technical analysis session quickly turned into a crusade against Sushi.

“… Susie the sheep must not be allowed to leave the palace of Auburn Hills with a smiling face, and we must roast him into lamb chops, so that he will smell of oil smoke all over his body. Rasheed Wallace was the first to shout this phrase, and he apologized to his teammates, saying that it was his irrationality that caused the team to lose two away games: "... Otherwise, it's us who is leading 2:0 right now. ”

His teammates forgave Rashid Wallace and said that the Pacers were already on the plate and would eat them sooner or later.

"I've figured out what I'm going to say after weeding out the Pacers." Ben Wallace, who had been relatively silent, said: "I want everyone to know the true face of Suxi the sheep, and he was the one who attacked me in the palace battle of Auburn Hills." God will be fair, God will let him taste the pain ... will plunge him into endless failures. ”

Ben Wallace was aggrieved as he spoke.

He chooses to forget about the dirty moves he did to Suhey in that game, and... Obviously he went to beat Sushi.

Public opinion has long been public, and he still wants to overturn the case.

What he wants to take advantage of is the public's ability to forget, and then take advantage of the 'team wins' to overthrow Suxi in one go.

I have to say, this is really good operation.

It's just that the Pistons can't win.

The Pistons didn't think about it, because now all the conditions are spread out in front of them, plus the Pistons are full of morale, cohesion, and home-court advantage

How do the Pistons lose?

…

Suhey and Carlisle watched another afternoon of tape, and they both knew that a tough battle was coming. The palace of Auburn Hills is never easy to break through, and it is a little difficult to get out with victory.

Carlisle even thought about fighting to the end in the first game and fighting for the timing of the win. The second game was a strategic abandonment, and then he returned to his home stadium to accumulate energy and defeat it in one fell swoop.

Now the Pacers are leading 2-0 because they still have two home games left for the regular season record.

But Suhi disagrees with this approach, believing that the team has deflated itself first.

There is a saying in China that one blow is vigorous, and then it is exhausted and then declines.

Sports competition is a breath, and any game must be fought to the end.

When the narrow road meets, the brave wins.

Can... What is the way to win?

Sushi came out of the video room, Mike O'Connor waited for a long time, and he said to Suhee: "There is a domestic media that wants to come and interview you......"

Suhi frowned, and he said, "There's no time now." ”

"They've gone to Detroit."

O'Connor scratched his head, then said, "It was arranged by Miss Huang." ”

Huang Xiaoman is Su Xi's Chinese agent, and she is responsible for handling Su Xi's domestic projects, as well as investments.

And, O'Connor knew... Don't look at Su Xi's hot fight with Scarlett and Jessica now, but Huang Xiaoman is the 'original match'.

"Scarlett also said she was going to Auburn Hills Palace to cheer you on..."O'Connor said, "The news at noon." ”
