"How many minutes did Arthur call?" Claire asked.

"Seven minutes." The statistician told him.

Claire swears nervously: "Why does it feel like it's been seven hours after me xx!"

His feeling is not completely wrong. There is a saying that when the game becomes a meat grinder-style battle, time will slow down because such a game is not fun.

This is the same as the holidays will always be faster than class/work.

Since the start of the Eastern Conference Final with the Pistons, Xie Hou's physical fitness has been the top priority for Claire in every game. He has developed to the point where he knows how much physical energy he consumes by looking at Xie Hou's sweat. Claire's wife suspected that he fell in love with Arthur because his family had at least twenty photos of Xie Hou's sweating at different stages (or heavy-tasting love).

Xie Hou is sweating a lot now, and the Pistons put pressure on the offensive end. Anthony, the naughty young man, made countless physical contacts with him at the cost of three fouls in one quarter.

In addition, Pacers' defense is also aimed at power confrontation.

Xie Hou needs to bear most of the offense, and he is not lazy in defense, so he will certainly consume quickly.

"Theo." Claire shouted.

Half a minute later, Xie Hou, who played for seven and a half minutes in the first quarter, was replaced by Papalucas.

Xie Hou is not a person with developed sweat glands, but he now wets his place with every step he takes (with sweat).

"Get breath, you're probably going to play soon," Claire said.

"Hmm..." Xie Hou didn't smile. Perhaps even maintaining a smile was a very tiring thing for him.

He sat down, gasped, and suddenly said to the physical education teacher: "Give me Gatorade!"

“What flavor?

“The bitterest taste.”

The physical fitness guru almost thought he had heard it wrong, and Xie Hou was very picky. Even if he was destined to be unhealthy, he had to try his best to choose the flavor he liked.

The difference in taste has no effect on the effect. The bitterest flavor should be chosen at this time to stimulate yourself and cheer yourself up.

The most iconic feature of a defensive battle is its low score.

During the seven and a half minutes of Xie Hou's presence, the Pacers scored 11 points and the Pistons scored 13 points.

Xie Hou scored 2 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists. He tried long shots, and his good long shot feel before the start of the game did not continue until the game.

Anthony's confrontation made his mid-range shot lose accuracy. The only way to score is to break through, but breakthrough requires taking into account the position of his teammates.

From targetedness to pressure to the pressure of making choices, the Pistons' defense was the only one that Xie Hou saw in his life.

He was drinking the bitter Gatorade, and he had always started to complain, but now he was silent, speechless, and silent, not like him.

If he had stayed in Europe, he might never be able to fight such an opponent.

The sky in Europe is very wide, but NBA can help him touch the limits of being born human.

Thank you, thank you, as great as you, you will not lose here.

Xie Houzheng tried his best to mobilize his emotions and strive to be excited before he appeared again.

The game on the court is not that easy.

The Pistons replaced Anthony. In order to complete Brown's order, his confrontation intensity has been repeatedly increased. He made three fouls in a single quarter, and it would have been replaced and rested if someone else had been replaced.

Brown did not change him, nor did he stop.

When Anthony left the court, he heard Brown's praise for the first time: "Beautiful job, Merlot, I still need your energy in the second quarter."

The Pistons were replaced by the Five Tigers, but the Pacers had to go through the difficult period of Xie Hou's departure.

Papalucas, who had been accurate for four games, finally lost his long pitching feel and missed two consecutive three-pointers.

The long shot that lost his mind made his opponent more flexible on the defensive end. They would put the Greeks in one meter of space, blocking the breakthrough space more easily, and increasing the pressure within the three-point line.

Artest made a mistake in possession of the ball, and his mood became increasingly unstable.

O'Neal Jr. could hold the ball but couldn't put it into the basket.

Within 150 seconds, the Pacers' score is hung.

The Pistons' offense is also unstable, but they can still score points, scoring 4 points in 150 seconds.

17 to 11

With 90 seconds left in the first quarter, Papalucas used the ball to block Bilups' body with his back. He was not afraid of his opponent's oppressive defense.

When he played in Europe, he liked to be so guarded by others. If the NBA referee had not taken strict care of international rookies, he would have dealt with Billups like this long ago.

"The ball is here!"

Xiao Ao yelled.

The Greeks did not trust Xiao Ao's attack, and passing the ball was force majeure.

O'Neal attacked Wallace, and his previous attack had not been successful even once. The Pistons chose to shrink their defense line because he was very deep. They wanted to completely defend O'Neal Jr. and not even give him a chance to score a successful goal.

"Jermaine!"

Miller shouted and cut inward. Oyi vaguely saw Miller. He didn't want to pass the ball. He had enough of not being able to score goals. He didn't want to be regarded as a big scene that fans could not count on when playing a strong team. He had enough of everyone who praised Xie Hou to the sky (and stepped on him to the ground).

He wants to prove himself!

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

He shouted, when he was at the Trail Blazers, Sabonis told him that he had the chance to cheat him into a foul when facing double-teams. His call now is too fake, the referee has no intention of whistling, and there is no room for the ball raised to take action. Wallace overturned him with a heavy hat.

"What is this xx?!"

The fans shouted in disappointment.

The ball landed, and by chance, it landed on Miller's incision route.

Miller picked up the ball, looked at Rashid, and took the initiative to lean on to find a confrontation. The referee whistle sounded, and he wiped it in.

Bang swish!

"and     one! Reggie scored three points!" Leonard couldn't help but roar, "Unbelievable! It's been 2004! It's still this tough man who saved the Pacers in times of crisis!"

Xie Hou stood up and danced with towels, and the walkers' substitutes shouted loudly.

No one could have thought that Miller's 21 was the only score of the Pacers in the four and a half minutes after Xie Hou was out.

The choking game lasted from the first second of the first quarter until the end of the quarter.

20 to 14

In the second quarter, Claire let veteran Kenny Anderson come on the field to control the situation, Papalucas replaces Miller to play the second position, Artest and Kirirenko retain it, and O'Neil was replaced by Jeff Foster.

Offense is still the top priority, and the Pistons' defense makes the Pacers' tactics unable to be played out.

Papalucas currently only has fixed-point shooting, and his offensive skills cannot be put on the stage at the NBA level;

Kirilianko is comprehensive, but he has put all his energy on the defensive end. There are only a handful of monsters that have attacked and defended all over the ages;

Kenny Anderson, Artest, Foster, among these people, Artest can also play as rampant as Kobe, McGrady and others when playing smoothly, but he is essentially a player who plays with his body and is very rough. His shooting feel is not stable. When encountering a skin-wet defense like the Pistons, he can't even play three-pointers.

After two minutes of the second quarter, Anderson's layup was blocked and the Pistons made a transition, causing Artest to foul.

"Arthur!"

Claire called Xie Hou.

The audience cheered and let the Piston see the opponent's movement. Brown's eyes were deep, and there were some vicious moves hidden under his glasses.

No exaggeration is required to use a ball-holder like Xie Hou.

"Coach, I can get on!" Anthony said.

"No, you keep resting." Brown called Collis Williamson.

The Pistons made one of two free throws.

22 to 14

With an 8-point lead, the Pistons scored all the two points in the second quarter came from free throws, and all of them were two free throws.

They are cruel, and the walkers are cruel. The powerful confrontation makes each other's feel disappear.

Seeing that the person who came up to face him was Williamson, Xie Hou cursed inwardly, not because his opponent was difficult to deal with, but because Brown's plan throughout the whole time made him unhappy.

"Why do you want to squeeze my energy out of this way, Coach Brown?"

Xie Hou thought to himself and walked towards Papalucas.

"We need you to have all the firepower," the Greeks said.

"Do you accept that I ignore your open space?" Xie Hou asked while serving.

The Greek dribbles forward, "You can just let it go."

So far in the game, the Pacers' tactics have been completely strangled by the Pistons. They cannot cooperate and have no connection with each other. Because the outside line is not open, the Pistons focus on blocking the three-point line.

He couldn't make a long shot, and he was unable to break through. O'Neal Jr. couldn't hit the back, and it seemed that every chance to score was held by his opponent.

"Hope Arthur can change the form on the field."

"They need a blasting point, and the Pistons' defense has suffocated the Pacers' offense!"
