Chapter 413 Losing is also a cow
hide
The moment the ball flew out, the Auburn Palace seemed to be in the center of an earthquake, and the scene was shaking and shaking, celebrating the difficult victory.
Tyshaun Prince's defense was the key to the Pistons' victory, and he kissed the back of his hand directly.
It was obvious that they only won one game, and they played a seven-inning four-win series. Except for the Pacers fans and the Pistons fans, no one knew why they were so happy.
This is a story that is insignificant and incomparable to outsiders.
The Pistons' legend, the active Auburn Palace home commentator "microwave" Vinier Johnson, said when Xie Hou lost his shot: "Thank God! Tonight, God is on our side, and the Detroit Strangler failed!"
The Detroit Strangler failed, and the significance of this incident to the Pistons is indescribable.
Last year they defeated the Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals. The public opinion at that time was not to congratulate them, but to laugh at them for taking advantage of others' dangers and using methods in the regular season.
The Auburn Palace incident has become the darkest stadium violence in NBA history. Later, the Pacers encountered another wave of injuries and failed to get into their best shape throughout the season.
The Pistons are like the source of this disaster, and everyone is blaming their faults.
Even if they defeated the Pacers as they wished, they still looked for a lot of arguments about "The Pacers lost, but Xie Hou did not lose".
This is the first time that Xie Hou went wild and played like the Strangers, they withstood the pressure and won the game.
The excitement of the players, the excitement of the fans, and the reaction of Detroit are completely understandable.
Xie Hou was quite calm, and he was not shaken by it, just a game. In the fourth quarter, he was not smart enough. If he didn't insist on defeating the Pistons, if he didn't believe in his offensive ability so much, if he could pass the ball to Artest and the others earlier, then the goal Artest missed would be possible.
You can't expect others to hit you after watching the show for a long time.
The feel needs to be maintained by the number of moves. Artest was a spectator for a whole quarter. If he scored that goal, he could do whatever he wanted. If he couldn't make it, there was nothing to say, as expected.
Xie Hou walked to the sidelines, and there were reporters who were preparing to interview him. It was not difficult to see through their expressions that the victory made the people who supported the Pistons breathe a sigh of relief.
"Arthur, what do you think of the outcome of this game tonight?"
I just asked this kind of question from the beginning, isn’t it just that I want someone to praise you?
The Pistons did play well, and Xie Hou thought that respecting the opponent is respecting himself, so he said: "I had a serious problem in my decision-making, and the Pistons taught me a lesson. They played well and deserved the victory."
The reporter asked again: "What are the decision-making issues you mentioned?"
"I acted too selfishly," Xie Hou said. "Tonight's Pistons made me understand that the team is always greater than the individual. Even if I can beat their defense alone, they can respond to my offense one by one through the combined efforts of the five. This is a rare lesson, and I have learned it."
It doesn't sound that good...
The reporter was depressed on Xie Hou's face, and he seemed to have really let go of his failure.
After all, it is just a gain or loss of a game, and the series requires four games to decide the outcome.
His reaction made the Pistons and their supporters look petty.
What a big deal, so excited?
Xie Hou’s interview was not inappropriate, but it gave people this feeling.
Afterwards, no one in the locker room talked to Xie Hou.
It seems that they are all like the supporters of the Pistons, thinking that King Arthur would be very sad and sad, and didn't even want to say a word.
Xie Hou first followed Claire to attend the press conference.
Back in the locker room, Claire did not criticize Xie Hou, who had few passes in the fourth quarter.
Well, it seems that even the head coach feels that Xie Hou does not need criticism now.
Xie Hou suddenly realized that he was still a child in the eyes of others. What a joke? His love story is richer than Sakuragi Hanamichi's courtship rejection. Who has ever seen such a child?
Xie Hou could not act like a humble look, "Why don't you scold me? Hurry up and make me feel better", so he could only wait for Claire to leave first and then say a few words.
As soon as Claire left, Artest walked to Xie Hou.
Are you going to criticize me? Come on, it’s all my fault. Who told me to play solo in the fourth quarter? Xie Hou is ready to be criticized.
"Arthur, sorry, I should have shot that goal. I wasn't ready. Don't be sad. As for the game, there are always wins and losses."
Hum? Xie Hou seemed to have received some amazing news, his pupils began to dilate, and he stared at Artest in disbelief.
"Don't be angry, you don't know that my three-point shooting rate is not high. Besides, you missed the shot in the end. We're going to be even..."
"Yes!" Since everyone thinks he is right, that's right.
Xie Hou said, "We're even."
"Aren't you angry?"
"I don't remember the villain's past, just do it." Xie Hou handled this matter peacefully.
The Pacers lost the ball, which was their first defeat in the playoffs this year.
Xie Hou continued his activeness in the first two games, scoring 40 points in the third consecutive game. Including the first and second games, he averaged 46 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Although it is no longer a triple-double per game, the soaring scores make his people's data look even more amazing.
You know, the reason why Chamberlain was criticized as the "exitor" and "Luther" is because of his performance in the regular season, and he often had a cliff-like decline of 1 in the playoffs.
One average of 50 points per game dropped to 35 points per game. Of course, it is still very coquettish, but it no longer looks like it is inhumane.
Xie Hou turned around. In the playoffs, his data has been greatly improved, and the stronger his opponents are, the more fierce his performance is.
The Detroits celebrated their success in fighting the Stiffers. The outside world was looking forward to Xie Hou's performance after the Pacers entered the finals. Under the instruction of Xue Wei, the English clubs spread the world how powerful it was to score 40 in three consecutive playoffs.
Moreover, the publicity effects of these three major publicity points are similar.
Piston's propaganda: We fight against the strangler of cowhide, we cowhide.
Neutrals are looking forward to the Pacers' finals: How shameless will Arthur be in the finals when he plays like this in the Eastern Conference Finals?
Needless to say, Xie Mi’s way of bragging is, in short, the three types of public opinion are all based on “Arthur’s cowhide”.
So what is Arthur doing at this time? He is training.
In the morning, O'Neal Jr. practiced with Shehou.
Two days later, the fourth game of the Eastern Conference Finals will be the result of whether O'Neal Jr. will return, and there must be a result before tomorrow afternoon.
Everyone knows that O's offense against the Pistons will be reduced, and the Pacers still hope that he can make a comeback as soon as possible.
The fundamental reason why Big Ben can oppress Xie Hou so much on the defensive end is that Foster has no threat to attack with the ball, which puts too little defensive pressure on Wallace.
If O'Neal Jr. can make a comeback, even if he can't score, he can still disperse a large part of the defensive pressure.
The so-called practice of the two is to play a one-on-one single-handed challenge.
Xie Hou was asked to have to hit the ball with his back or dribble twice before taking action.
This rule is fair. Xie Hou is on the outside and his figure is no less than that of the inside. His size and playing style are simply born for a one-on-one challenge.
If he only uses his back to play, O'Neal's defense will have an advantage. If he takes action with two dribblings, even if he is fast enough to surpass one step, O'O can also be entangled.
Xie Hou never lets go of the private one-on-one challenge.
He used the banner of educating his teammates and allowing them to make faster progress by showing the gap.
After two games, Xiao Ao was beaten to the point where he almost lost his confidence in making a comeback: "!¥!¥" (garbled translation: I'll hit you with m hammers)
"Don't be discouraged, it's just a few bullfights. I think you have recovered well and can make a comeback." Xie Hou encouraged.
Well, the Bullfight, who decided to win 11 goals in two games, beat O'Neal Jr. 22-1.
Their single-handed challenge rule is that the goalkeeper continues to enjoy the ball, which is Moscow's single-handed challenge rule.
O'Neal's initial idea of agreeing to this rule was that his offensive success rate would definitely be higher than Xie Hou, otherwise he would have grown so tall and weight so he would be better than hitting his head and dying under the basket.
After being beaten up, O'Neal looked at the basket speechlessly, thinking about whether he could knock himself to death with blood.
The afternoon training helped O'Neal regain confidence. Although he had not returned to his best condition, his physical sports performance in all aspects had reached the competition standards.
Claire was not in a hurry. After the training, he said that he would make a decision until tomorrow afternoon, that is, the last training session before the g4 battle.
This was a real smoke bomb. In fact, he called O'Neal Jr. that night to tell him that he would be on the activation list in Game 4.
