Chapter 652 The Suppressed Pistons

After the first quarter, the most intuitive performance of the Warriors to the Pistons was "powerful".

In the first quarter, even though they used a strong defense at the beginning, the Pistons' defense still seemed a bit too tight, and the team's defensive cooperation was not as smooth as they were against the Pacers before!

In the commentary booth, Bill Lambiel watched the Warriors side silently. In his opinion, this team was able to reach the finals and win the championship last season, which obviously has an element of luck. Of course , Some of these players still make him appreciate it very much!

However, now when he saw the performance of the Warriors' main force and substitute lineup in the first quarter, he couldn't help but feel very depressed, and felt a little embarrassed by his hasty conclusions before!
In their era, especially on the defensive end, if it wasn't a particularly dangerous move, even if someone was pulled down, the referee would not be too fussy about blowing the whistle!

Now, with Stern's further reforms and favorable penalties for offensive players, this makes them look less and less at the current players' defense!

However, as the Pistons ushered in Larry Brown, coupled with the strong defense that Rick Carlisle brought to this team before, this made Lambiel once again see the rebirth of the "bad boy army" back then!

This season, when Joe Dumas deliberately found himself and invited him very sincerely, he only thought about it for a moment before agreeing to this guy's invitation!
Rasheed Wallace's abilities are powerful. Even though his statistics have declined due to various problems, he still belongs to the top in Lambiel's opinion!
However, now when he saw the orderly offense and defense of the Warriors inside, he felt that his previous thinking was wrong, and it made him very uncomfortable!
"The combination of Tim and Dirk is simply a headache. Their combination of one inside and one outside is simply a nightmare for other teams!"

Kenny Smith said with some emotion, he only said this when he saw Lambiel staring at the Warriors rest area in a daze!
"Yeah, if Tim still stays in the Spurs, I think he can still lead the team to the championship, he is an incredible guy!"

Lambiel sighed secretly, and finally compromised!

Barkley, who heard Lambiel say this, immediately smiled and said: "Bill, if the Pistons can continue to show this state, they will become the top team in the league for at least three seasons in the future! "

"Hehe, they still lack some background!"

Lambiel said something with emotion, and then even after the whistle sounded on the court, he turned his attention to the court!
The beginning of the second quarter gave the Pistons a lot of room to play. I don’t know if the Warriors’ substitutes put all their energy on the offensive end. Their performance on the defensive end really seemed a bit amateurish!

When there is a serious exchange between the two sides, Wilkens has a gentle expression, and Larry Brown's facial expression is very exciting!

As a coach who takes defense as the main means of winning, when he sees his players on the court as if they suddenly turned into bombarding the team, he can imagine this feeling!
Of course, if it weren't for the current Pistons players who can bite the Warriors with their good shooting percentage, I'm afraid Brown will definitely replace them without saying a word!
When the two sides entered the 5th minute of the second quarter, as the Pistons were gradually suppressed by the Warriors' defense on the offensive end, Brown called a timeout!
Back off the court, Brown reprimanded those guys loudly. After a short timeout, he put all the main players back on the court very rigorously!
On the Warriors side, after replacing Kirilenko and Robert Horry, they still maintained most of their previous lineup!

"Hey Robert, hope your injury is alright!!"

When Ben Wallace came on the court, he said to Holly with a smile on his face.

After hearing Wallace's concerned greeting, the other party showed a happy smile on his face, and said confidently: "Dude, I already feel like I'm going to rust!"

"Haha, that's good, pay attention to my pass!"

Wallace laughed twice, patted Holly on the shoulder and walked towards the court!

Before, due to injuries, Hawley did not appear in the game!
Now, with a full recovery from his elbow injury, the big heart man is finally back on the court!

When he came to the court, Payton steadily brought the basketball into the frontcourt. He first took a look at his teammates' running positions, wondering if he wanted to let Hawley find out. At the same time, he threw the basketball in his hand to Holly who was standing at a 45-degree angle on the right!

After the latter got the basketball, he didn't have any scruples about Okur who was two steps away in front of him, he just pulled it up and shot!
"boom!!"

With a muffled sound, Hawley's first shot after his return of course ended in a strike!
However, after having Ben Wallace on the inside line, this guy took the basketball into his arms with a good sense of rebounding and a very good card position!
"drop!!"

Suddenly, when Wallace was about to hand over the basketball to his teammate, Bavita blew the whistle as Rasheed Wallace made some irrational steals!
"Damn it, don't you know it's just a normal fight between us??"

After Rasheed Wallace sounded the whistle, he ran towards Bavita aggressively without saying a word, his whole expression seemed to want to kill this old guy directly!
"Oh my god!!"

After Larry Brown saw this scene happen again, he subconsciously covered his forehead, and in an instant, thousands of grass and mud horses passed through his heart!
"Hey man, calm down!!!"

Lynch Hunter, who knew Rasheed Wallace's character well, ran over at his fastest speed while the opponent ran quickly. He didn't want this guy to mess up this somewhat difficult finals!
Bavita frowned and stared at the aggressive Rasheed Wallace. When he subconsciously stuffed the whistle into his mouth, as Hunter quickly pulled Wallace away, he still failed to blow the whistle in the end!
"Damn, this guy is just..."

Lambiel stared at the field with a face full of dumbfounding, especially after seeing Wallace's still relentless appearance, he said helplessly: "FK!! The current league is simply a paradise for offensive players!!"

Later, because the Warriors had not made enough fouls, Wallace did not make a free throw, but quickly passed the basketball to Payton on the sideline!

In the high position, Okur followed Ma Long in a somewhat depressed manner. This guy's small movements made him want to be furious from time to time!
However, under the frequent greetings of Malone's big elbows and small gestures, the young Turk was really a little "shy" and just carried out his task with a depressed face!
"puff!!"

There was a muffled sound, and Ma Long's little hand shook like this. At the moment Okur frowned in a daze, he rushed towards the inside line with big feet like a tyrannosaurus rex!

And in the inside line, the two Wallaces who were entangled originally, after seeing Malone's actions, the two sides seemed to have encountered something dangerous, and the action started to compete for a favorable position!
However, it looks like the Pistons are going to be depressed!

I saw Payton, who kept running back and forth outside the three-point line, threw the basketball directly to the basket after Malone approached the penalty area!
Afterwards, I saw that Malone's muscles seemed to be condensed into lumps of iron lumps. After stepping into the penalty area, he jumped up with a still impressive bounce. He smashed into the basket in a fierce way!
"boom!!!"

The arena was boiling, and all the fans stood up screaming, waving the inflatable sticks in their hands, as if seeing Thor, everyone seemed extremely excited!

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!!"

Roaring with excitement, Barkley watched Malone on the court who looked like a god of war, which reminded him of the fierce scene when he confronted this guy back then!
"Damn old guy, doesn't he know it's going to sprain his sexy ass??"

Lambiel said something weird, obviously there are some ulterior secrets between him and Ma Long!

On the court, Ma Long's dunks seemed to give all the Warriors players a shot of stimulant. In the following games, they were like members of the Death Squad, showing off all the brilliant moves!

Among them, Ginobili, who has always been very passionate, has turned into a sharp long knife. Wherever he passes, the Pistons players are like pillars of helplessness, which is quite helpless. !
In the end, when the contest between the two sides entered the second half of the second quarter, as Wilkens paused with a smile on his face, the Pistons finally temporarily ended this tormenting period!
"Damn!!!"

Back in the rest area, Rasheed Wallace threw the towel on the floor with a look of anger. Thinking of his terrible performance before, he really wanted to hit himself twice!

But Larry Brown, who was about to say something, subconsciously shut his mouth after seeing Rasheed Wallace's behavior.

After a while, as the players' emotions gradually stabilized, Larry Brown said in an extremely firm tone: "Defense, you must use your strongest defense to deal with this game, gentlemen, we have already Nearly [-] points behind the Warriors, I hope you guys can trust each other, we are one!!!"

Hearing Larry Brown's words, this iron-blooded team quickly recovered from the previous depression. The aura exuded from them clearly indicated that a big battle would begin!
