Chapter 267 Best in History
No matter how long it has passed, whenever the first half ends, Larry Brown will remember the impact that Xie Hou has brought to him.
Only Anthony can block Xie Hou's low post attack, but if the Pistons ask Anthony to defend, Xie Hou will take a step to pass the latter in the basket, break into the penalty area or attract the defensive pass, or pay tribute to Dr.J with all kinds of one-handed pull-ups;
Similarly, his one-handed pull rod is also quite threatening when he breaks through the outside line. He has two stable breakout killer weapons, one is a throwing shot, and the other is a one-handed pull rod layup. Both of these offensive methods can leverage his arm length advantage and cannot interfere at all. He can only pray that he will miss the shot;
At the beginning of the season, the Pistons heard that Xie Hou's shooting had dropped sharply. Brown was relieved at the time, thinking that Joe Smith had a good spirit, and finally took away some of the monster's talents. As a result, in the battle of Auburn Mountain last month, regardless of the ugly fight, Xie Hou's shooting showed that he did not sleep well for several days in a row;
Tonight, the two teams meet again.
The only Pacers were Miller and Xie Hou himself, but Miller felt fully open, Xie Hou continued the law of being in full swing every time he hit the piston, showing a game level that was above others.
In the first quarter, he and Miller each supported the team; in the second quarter, he scored wildly for 6 minutes, and the commentator reported that he scored 15 points in 6 minutes, but Brown always felt that he had scored 10 points. After that, Papalucas and Miller returned to the court, and Jeff Foster made three fouls on his back and were replaced by Scott Pollard.
The Pacers' inside line became more fragile, which was a good opportunity for the Pistons to regain their momentum. Who would have thought that Xie Hou, Papalucas and Miller seemed to be discussing, and it rained one after another outside the three-point line, which put heavy pressure on the Pistons, making their momentum end before it even started.
In a single quarter, the Pacers scored 36 minutes, Xie Hou scored 22 points, leading the team to lead the Pistons 57-42 in half.
"I have to praise them!" Brown shook his head and sighed, "Arthur is unique, and no outside player in the league has more game influence than him!"
ESPN live reporter asked: "What do you think of the showdown between Cameron and Arthur?"
"This question is not interesting, just like you ask me about the comparison between the power of a single lion and the power of an adult elephant. It is not a player of the same level, and there is nothing like it." Brown's answer was unexpected. All the old qualifications should know how mean he is and how much he doesn't like to praise young people.
Brown said: "It's not just Cameron, but for LeBron, Dwyne, Kobe, Tracy... their generation of young people are honored to be able to compete with players like Arthur. Only when you face greatness head-on can you know how far you are from greatness."
espn didn't expect Brown to yell like this, and he didn't know how to ask.
"So, how do you evaluate Arthur's performance in the first half tonight?"
"For me..." Larry Brown, who has witnessed Larry Bird, Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan's entire career journey, said, "Best in history."
Espn loses the function of opening up and speaking like a fossil dinosaur.
Xie Hou, who scored 28 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists in the first half, was the best half-time performance Brown has ever seen? In terms of data, this is not even considered the best half-time game that Xie Hou personally played.
No one knows what angle Brown gave the evaluation, and his words will inevitably cause a new round of heated discussion.
You know, Xie Hou has never lacked topics.
Brown didn't want to explain why he said that, he just saw how strong the full-body Xie Hou was from this game tonight.
The best in history is not about his data and performance tonight, but when he enters his peak period, his performance will inevitably be stronger than tonight. By then, what kind of monster will the world see?
When the world amazes him, Larry Brown is definitely qualified to say: "I've blown him until he's blowing!"
In the second half, Brown asked the players to defend Xie Hou at high intensity, mainly to consume physical strength.
The Pacers' team was not accurate tonight, and Xie Hou's long shots could not always be like this.
Being behind by 15 points is very big for the Pistons, and they are not good at attacking. It is really difficult to fall behind so much and not relax the defense, and to ensure the success rate of the offense.
The Detroiter, who took the initiative to be strong, did not ask Xie Hou to stop performing. With the help of the coaching staff, he reduced the weight on his body. He originally had seven jerseys on his body, but now only four left.
Although there are still many...
Xie Hou took a quick step and suddenly went out of the paint area, scored a jump shot, and scored a third-pointer.
The pistons hit the whole, just like gears, and the offense and defense are the same.
Anthony has the potential to become the absolute core, but he still can't get a ball position like Xie Hou and his ability is not enough.
Rashid Wallace's three-pointer is like a popsicle for military training students, better than any drink.
If you go one on the left and one on the right, the Pacers will not attack smoothly.
The piston's counterattack was quite good, and its control over the inner space made Xie Hou unable to find the gap and drill into it.
On the outside, two Wallaces and Prince were paired with her to launch a crazy online attack on Xie Hou.
The Pistons were crazy about defending Xie Hou's attack. They did it in the first five minutes of the third quarter. Xie Hou's only score during that period was the start of the emergency stop jump shot.
The Pistons started with Rashid's three-pointer, and Anthony ended with a one-on-one match, and the score difference reached 9 points.
Miller's physical fitness declined and Papalucas had no three-pointer, the Pacers were experiencing the most difficult situation. Xie Hou scored again, this time, the receiver was Austin Crohill.
A pure old Pacer, second only to Reggie Miller in the team.
He was all-round but not proficient. After receiving a sudden score from Xie Hou, he looked at his feet and was outside the three-point line. He was all-round and averaged 0.6 three-pointers per game, with a shooting percentage of 25%, which was comparable to Xie Hou.
Thinking about how unstable Xie Hou’s three-pointer was this season, you will know how determined it takes to pass the ball to him now.
This is the benefit of all-round players. They always have times of explosion. How do you know if he will explode tonight? When the Pacers are in a tidy manner, he doesn't need to explode. Now he needs it. Xie Hou and other teammates want to kneel down and beg him to explode.
But Crohill didn't know what value his three-pointers were to the team. He just aimed and took action like he usually did.
"Swish!!"
"Beautiful, see if this ball can break Indiana's scoring drought!"
Leonard and others roared, and the score difference was pulled to 12 points again.
The momentum in the game is so magical. A team that holds the momentum can win from the beginning to the end. A stalemate game, when the team that suddenly grasps the momentum can take away the game in one wave.
The piston held down Xie Hou and suffocated Miller to death. The Greeks were not allowed, but Crohill stood up.
They had just chased for 9 points, and the Pacers responded.
Crohill's three-pointer boosted the morale of the whole team, and their defense was fierce, just like the Pistons.
The Detroiter also doesn't know how to score at this defensive intensity.
The ball was passed to Uh Rashid, who made two three-pointers in a difficult situation. His back hit was blocked by Crohill, and he turned over and jumped straight into the basket.
Xie Hou grabbed the defensive rebound, like holding the hope of victory, turned around and fought back.
During the rotation, three Pistons retreated in time, and three Pacers participated in the fast attack.
Xie Hou was too threatening. He rushed into the free throw line. He put the ball away like a magnet, sucking the Pistons player to his side. Before taking the action, he passed it back to Miller - he was an old bastard who was dozens of times faster than the defensive step!
Miller easily made a layup, pulling the gap to 14 points.
Larry Brown called a timeout, and after most of the third quarter, there were only 3 minutes left.
In addition to the fourth quarter, they need to fill in a 14-point pit.
If the Pacers' three-pointers on the outside are not accurate, there is still suspense in the game. If they continue to be so accurate, they will not be able to catch up with the score until they die.
If Xie Hou was replaced by other outside lines in the league, they would not be able to fight the Pistons.
With Xie Hou, as long as you shoot accurately, you can play four or six against the Pistons in a series.
The bonus of the superstar is so amazing that Brown doubts the correctness of "Larryism" for the first time.
Academic coaches will not pay too much attention to individual players. People like Xie Hou exist to correct the three views of this group of people.
Seeing Xie Hou, Brown couldn't help but wonder: If Arthur played under my hands, how would I use him?
Claire has given the answer. If such a player doesn't give the ball to him and take the team away, even if God can forgive you, as coaches, they will probably not be able to forgive themselves.
At the end of the third quarter, the Pistons made every effort to catch the difference to 13 points.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Pistons suffered consecutive losses in the offense, but they also prevented the Pacers from making a shot.
Suddenly, Xie Hou scored a three-pointer and the difference reached 17 points.
From the three-pointer hit, the Pistons's breath seemed to be leaking.
Their defense became loose, and their belief in winning was no longer as firm as iron. Brown could not save any timeouts.
Xie Hou started to make his third 5o point this season.
It feels so good, who can I deserve if I don’t get 50 points?
What's amazing is that Xie Hou was about to score points, but the feel began to get worse.
Originally, his shooting percentage was more than 70%. After the game, Xie Hou scored 53 points and his shooting percentage was 50%.
