Chapter 33 The Magician II

With the strength of the Pistons' defense, they were scored 32 points in a single quarter, which shows that there was a problem with the defense.

Since there is a problem, they have to solve the problem. They chose to temporarily replace Anthony, who is not as stable as Prince on the defensive end.

It looked like a good adjustment. As soon as the second quarter came, Billups bullied Tinsley with his figure.

The two are of the same height, both of which are 191 cm tall, but they are bigger than Lupps.

After fighting with Xie Hou, Billups suddenly realized how happy it was to face a normal person.

His breakthrough caused Tinsley to foul, making two free throws, 27-32, and the difference reached 5 points.

On the Pacers' side, Tinsley let go of the offense. Even if he can no longer win the hearts of the coaching staff, he still has to use his limited playing time to play his own value.

His breakthrough was fierce, which was the characteristic of the New York defender.

Fancy skills and pursuing exciting breakthroughs can hit the audience's sensitive nerves every time. Even if the Pistons fans are so angry that they are itchy, they are rude and praise: "This bastard dribble is so fucking good-looking!"

The most rare thing about Xie Hou is that he has the coordination of hands and feet at the level of 190 cm, and the 204 cm arm span has completely released his talent.

He can dribble like Tinsley, and he won't do that in positional battles.

In his eyes, fancy dribbling is used to please the audience, and only streetball players on the street who only abuse passers-by will enjoy it.

He believes that what can be remembered by the audience is definitely not a fancy dribble, but a wonderful moment where you can only use the thick and thick to vent your mood.

Tinsley's dribble is fancy, extraordinary, and has a good vision. After all, he is a person who can score 23 assists in a single game. His breakthrough pass is very powerful. After breaking in, he does not greedy for attacks, and takes the initiative to pass the ball to the outside, giving Al Harrington, the core attacker of the second team.

34 to 27

The Pacers' second lineup is stronger than the defense. Facing the Pistons with only one main force (Anthony), it is obvious that the offensive firepower cannot be increased.

The Pistons' offense is a long-lasting problem, which is the reason why they won Anthony. But they can still make a living without Anthony in another parallel world, which can surprise the world, make the arrogant Lakers F4 fail, and make the first NBA in the new century claim to be "the finale of this season, but there is no suspense. Who will compete for second place? Lakers championship!" The season is heading towards an unexpected ending.

Except for Campbell's poor tone, the other five people on the field were very suitable.

Hamilton moves, Prince's defensive shooting, Billups instigates offensive shooting, Wallace takes a cake to defend and second offense.

Campbell's existence made the Pistons' five-man match look imperfect. Due to his existence, Wallace cannot stand at the basket, and the penalty area lacks aerial anti-aircraft guns with deterrent power.

Even so, they gradually mastered the rhythm of the game and scored continuously by defensive counterattacks.

34 to 33

Xie Hou's leading advantage in the first quarter has disappeared.

Claire suspended the game and his eyes fell on others.

He made a bold move: Shehou, Kirilenko, Papalucas replaced Tinsley, Artest and Miller.

"The Pacers have replaced three players who have played in Europe before."

"They are all from the CSKA Moscow."

"They have a very good understanding!"

Xie Hou had fantasized about the way the three of them fought together, but he didn't expect it to be realized so soon.

Xie Hou sent the ball to Papalucas, and the Pistons no longer let Bilups face him. They believed that a player as tall as Xie Hou had to be carried by someone of a fair figure.

The only one who could meet Prince, who was 206 cm tall, was the only one who could meet Xie Hou.

If Prince faced Xie Hou, Kirirenko could only face Hamilton. Because Kirirenko's position on the field is now in the third position, Prince, who should have faced him, was sent to Xie Hou.

Prince is the best player to defend Xie Hou: he is taller than him and has a comparable wingspan.

"Tyshaun is a tough defender, is Arthur okay?"

The Pacers had just had some questions off the field, and Artest immediately stood up to support Xie Hou. There was no reason, because they had fought bulls countless times in private before, and Xie Hou could get his defense every time.

How could he not be able to handle his defense?

There are few Europeans who are so light, first-class in speed, and have the third position with height and wingspan. When Xie Hou saw Prince, he thought to try to see if he could beat him up.

He immediately ran to the high position to get the ball, and before his teammates could open up space, he dribbled with the ball with concentration, and he stood firm and leaned on his body. When Prince thought he was going to the right, his center of gravity and the dribble switched, and the orange ball flew from behind him to his left hand like an irregular flying object.

The change behind this inevitably slows down Xie Hou's breakthrough speed. If Prince has enough experience, he can completely lean back.

Xie Hou didn't give him this opportunity, so he leaned on Prince in advance to give him a confrontation, which made the latter unable to exert force. The next thing was the reenactment of the first quarter.

Prince was slapped by Xie Housheng like Billups, with almost no way.

"Beautiful left-hand layup!"

"Tyshoen is also doing well, but unfortunately his opponent is getting better."

The commentator's comfort cannot make the little prince feel better.

Afterwards, Xie Hou and two teammates of Moscow CSKA set up a super defensive network that swept across Europe.

The three of them successfully built a core system, with substitute center Pollard behind them filling in the gap, which brought high-intensity defensive pressure to the Pistons. Even with Harrington's defensive loophole, it would be difficult for the Pistons to find a gap.

Three defensive experts plus a solid blue-collar worker are enough to fix this bug.

The defense was successful in three consecutive rounds, but unfortunately there was only one round to fight back, otherwise the score difference would be widened again.

Papalucas' defense is fierce, just like the flat-headed guy in the African grassland. No matter who comes, he will be hard and he will never let you go if he dies.

This fighting spirit is worthy of recognition, but the scale is a questionable point.

The referee will not foul you because you are mature and not inferior. The Greeks' tenacious defense won Claire's favor, and they also quickly took two fouls.

Claire wanted him to play for a few more minutes and it was impossible for him to do so. Papalucas, who was in charge, passed by like a meteor tonight, dazzling, beautiful, but short-lived.

The second quarter is a period in which the Pacers and the Pistons compete for defense.

The Pistons are almost the main force, and the Pacers only have two main force, Xie Hou and Kirirenko, for most of the time. As a result, both sides play equally.

Xie Hou returned to the locker room with 8 points and 11 assists at halftime.

"If his assist numbers keep this frequency rising, maybe he will be the second rookie player to get 20 assists in a single game after Jamal Tinsley."
