Chapter 466 The Seeds of Conflict (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival Everyone)

"The Pistons need to call a timeout to adjust. Billups is too weak when defending James Posey! If the Pacers continue to play like this, I am afraid it will take less than half the game, and the game will lose suspense !” In the third game of the Pacers-Pistons series, less than 4 minutes after the opening, the situation on the court showed a one-sided situation.Since Pistons small forward Ron Artest is going to defend Meng Xu at the 1st position, so Billups at the 1st position of the Pistons has to dislocate James Posey at the 3rd position of the Pacers. Billups is 10 centimeters shorter than James Posey, and the weight of the two is not on the same level. In addition, James Posey's movement speed is not bad. "Xu" James Posey, against Billups, he can play as he wants, and the Pacers have clearly discovered this weakness of the Pistons. After Meng Xu scored the first offense after the opening, he could He desperately made the ball for James Posey, either after breaking into the inside and passing it out, or after encountering a double-team, he immediately distributed the ball to James Posey.Therefore, James Posey also took over most of the Pacers' offensive opportunities in the first 4 minutes. In these 4 minutes, James Posey made 7 of 4 shots, 3 of 4 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and 2 of 4 in the opening game. James Posey scored 12 points in 3 minutes. In addition to Meng Xu's 15-pointer after the opening, the Pistons were beaten by the Pacers to a 6-[-] climax as soon as the game started.

"It's really unexpected that the Pacers have undergone earth-shaking changes with such a simple change."

After Rick Carlisle called a timeout, the Pistons fans at the scene looked at the scoreboard on the field with a confused face. What's more, they kept rubbing their eyes, trying to see clearly and score Whether the score on the card is true or not.You must know that in the previous two games, the Pacers did not have such a big advantage against the Pistons, especially in the second game of the series, the Pacers were firmly suppressed by the Pistons for most of the time. up.At the same time, Billups, who was the strength of the Pistons in the previous two games, was not only overwhelmed by James Posey on the defensive end, but also on the offensive end in the few minutes after the opening. , locked tightly by Meng Xu.

"I think Larry should really think about it and put Meng Xu at the No. 1 position for a long time. Meng Xu's passing vision, ball handling ability, and passing ability are better than most point guards in the league. Meng Xu When he was in the Spurs, he also played a point guard for one season, so Meng Xu can be said to be very familiar with the No. 1 position. At the same time, the Pacers are also full of talents at the No. 1 position. With James Posey's ability , In any team, it is enough to be the starting position." Seeing that Meng Xu played more comfortably at the point guard position, he even showed a stronger connection than at the 3rd position. The ability of the team, so Magic Johnson is now bringing up old things again. After all, after Meng Xu changed to play point guard in the Spurs, Magic Johnson predicted that Meng Xu would become the next Magician, but Meng Xu came to the Pacers. After that, Larry Bird put him back to the 3rd position. Magic Johnson has always been worried about this matter. The two successors he chose, Hardaway and Meng Xu, one One was robbed by Jordan, and the other was robbed by Larry Bird.

"Yes, especially when Meng is facing a small point guard, he doesn't have the slightest advantage. In this regard, he is much better than you." After Magic Johnson finished speaking, Michael Slick began Tease him, although the magician is recognized as the number one point guard in history, but due to his tall body, Magic Johnson has always been unsatisfactory when defending short, fast guards. One of the few pain points, but Meng Xu is the exact opposite. Due to Meng Xu's outstanding speed and first-class reflexes, for those small players, Meng Xu is simply a nightmare existence. Just look at this Billups in the first game knew it. Billups, who asked for anything in front of Jamal Tinsley, was not only timid under the greeting of Meng Xu, but also made more mistakes than before. .

"It seems that the Pistons are really dangerous in this game." After the game restarted, Rick Carlisle arranged for Billups and Collis Williams to switch defenses, allowing Collis Williams To defend James Posey, but even defending Hamilton, Billups also faced the embarrassing situation when he defended James Posey just now. Although Hamilton is not as strong as James Posey, Hamilton, who is also over 2 meters tall, is in the competition. Lupus also has a dislocation advantage in front of him, and Hamilton's running ability is stronger than that of James Posey. Therefore, under Meng Xu's deliberate feeding of the ball, Hamilton used mid-range shots again and again to separate the two sides. The score is getting bigger and bigger.

"Although the problem of the Pistons seems to be due to Billups' defense, the root of the problem is actually Meng Xu. If Meng Xu cannot be solved, the Pistons will never be able to get rid of the current predicament." Looking at the Pacers On the court, he has been staring at Billups' point, and Michaels in the commentary can only shake his head constantly. In the previous two games, it was the only strong point that the Pistons had an advantage over the Pacers. Instead, it became the Pistons' shortcoming in the game. Whoever Billups defended, the Pacers singled him out. Since the Pacers' three backcourt players are all over 3 meters tall, they are only 2 meters tall. Billups, no matter how the rotation is, will be a defensive black hole for the Pistons. If this problem cannot be solved, the Pistons are destined to be pressed to the ground by the Pacers and rubbed at will.

"Compared to Meng Xu who scored points like picking up weeds, I think this kind of Meng Xu is the most intimidating Meng Xu." It was only Meng Xu who changed his position on the court, which brought great benefits to the Pacers. Seeing the 15-point difference between the Pacers and the Pistons at the end of the first quarter, Magic Johnson felt more and more that he was right. The greatest power, 1 of 1 shooting, 1 points and 3 assists, 7 rebounds, 2 steals, this is Meng Xu's data in the first quarter, although it looks a bit weird, but behind this data, it is walking The Raiders scored 2 points in a single quarter.

"Alas." After the start of the second quarter, Rick Carlisle, who was expecting Stackhouse to lead the bench to narrow the gap between the two sides, saw that Pacers substitute Tyshawn Prince Under the impeccable defense, Stackhouse continued to hit the iron, but instead led the Pacers' substitute Reggie Miller. After the game started, he made 3 of 3 three-pointers. It only took the player a very short time to widen the difference between the two sides to 2 points.Not only the main lineup was suppressed by the Pacers, but even the substitute lineup was firmly suppressed by the Pacers. Although it is only the second quarter, the Pistons still have enough time to recover the score.But in this bad situation, not to mention playing a frenzy of chasing points more than ten to 20, the Pistons can't even organize an effective counterattack. It is impossible for the Pacers to give the Pistons such a chance to chase points.

Under such circumstances, when the Pacers ended the first half with a 74-48 lead of 26 points, no one in the audience, including the fans at the scene, would have thought that the Pistons could score at Moving back, even if the Pistons reversed the Magic in such a situation last round, no one would think that the Pistons can reverse the Pacers today.

"Unexpectedly, today's game will be played like this!" As the game progressed, Rick Carlisle continued to adjust. He really replaced Billups with Stackhouse, but there was no way to change the situation on the court. after the situation.Those reporters who kept advocating that the Pistons eliminated the Pacers before the game are basically silent now. The Pistons really don't have the strength to beat the Pacers. At least in this game, it is impossible for the Pistons to beat the Pacers.

In the end, when the game ended, the guest Pacers defeated the Pistons 125 to 103. The Pacers team scored 3 points, Jermaine O'Neal 20 points, 26 rebounds, James Posey 15 points, 28 rebounds. Rebounds, Hamilton scored 7 points, while Meng Xu, the league's leading scorer and Pacers' number one scorer, only scored 24 points in today's game, but Meng Xu sent an astonishing 14 assists. The point difference is too big, Meng Xu did not play in the entire fourth quarter, so in this game, Meng Xu is likely to hit the feat of 24 assists in a single game.

If the Pacers' victory in G3 still made many anti-Pacers media have illusions, then on May 2003, 5, the Pacers once again defeated the Pistons 18 to 108 in the away game, breaking the big score of the series. After it became 95 to 3, those media who expected the Pistons to eliminate the Pacers immediately fell silent.

However, in this game between the two sides in G4, there were also many discordant factors. The Pistons, who were behind by a large score, also made more and more defensive moves. Mutombo and Ben Wallace were fighting for rebounds. When Artest was defending Meng Xu, he also blatantly stepped on Meng Xu. The referee on duty blew Artest, Stockhouse, James Posey, Meng Xu, etc. Asahi 4 technical fouls, and after Artest was expelled from the field, the further expansion of the conflict was avoided.
