Legendary star

Chapter 563

"Rashid, you did a good job just now."

"Ron, calm down, you have to calm down."

After the third quarter, just after the Pistons players left the field, Larry Brown pulled Rasheed Wallace and praised him for what he had done just now, and then went to Ron- In front of Artest, he kept telling Artest to calm down. Among the five starting players of the Pistons, Rasheed Wallace and Ron Artest had the worst tempers. Most of the technical fouls received this season have been taken by these two guys.

"Ron, both Ben and Rashid have fouled three times now, so next you have to strengthen the blocking of that kid, and try not to give him a one-on-one chance with Ben or Rashid." The three quarters ended, The Pistons still have a 3-point lead, but the Pistons also have a hidden danger now, that is, the number of fouls committed by Ben Wallace and Rasheed Wallace. In the second half of the third quarter, they got two fouls in a row. If they can't control the number of fouls reasonably, once both of them fall into foul crisis, then when the game reaches the final decisive stage, it will be a fatal situation. Big problem.

It has to be said that after the league's continuous "improvement" and "refinement" and the introduction of various new rules, the former overlords on the basketball court, the inside players have gradually become a vulnerable group, not to mention the ancient times of Chamberlain and Russell. It's the era, which belongs to Jordan's era. Which outside player dares to rush to the basket to find trouble for the inside player?Even Jordan, he was repeatedly taken by Olajuwon and David Robinson, but now, facing more and more perimeter players rushing to the basket and making fouls, and more severe defensive fouls The whistleblowing standard and the situation of the inside players are really not good. When the inside players defend the outside players one-on-one, they no longer have so many advantages. Instead, they will be called a defensive foul if they are not careful.

"Meng, for the next game, as soon as you have a chance, go to Ben Wallace and do his damage. As long as you can get him off the field, we will win today." Larry Brown's worry, Li It is impossible for Rick Carlisle not to notice, so on the Pacers' bench, Rick Carlisle held a tactical board, squatted in front of Meng Xu, and taught Meng Xu face-to-face tips.

"Don't worry, Rick." Grabbing a towel and wiping the sweat from his head, Meng Xu took the water glass handed over from the end of the bench, and nodded towards Rick Carlisle. The more headwind the game, Meng Xu The more Xu can understand the widely circulated truth in the NBA, the closer to the basket, the easier it is to score. No matter how you shoot, there is no need to rush to the basket. In the post-match, as the intensity of the game increases and the intensity of the confrontation between the two sides increases, the probability of a headwind will increase greatly. At this time, it is definitely a trick to blindly find the touch through shooting. act of death.

"You bastard, don't you like to shoot three-pointers? Why don't you shoot today? Are you scared? If you can't, just say, I can give you a little space..." After Jermaine O'Neal and Ray After Ji Miller fought with the Pistons for a few minutes with the bench lineup, Meng Xu played again, but as soon as Meng Xu came on the court, before receiving the basketball, Ron Artest spread his arms to block Meng Xu In the front, he spat trash talk at Meng Xu at the same time. It seems that Artest is still worried about the time Meng Xu dunked Rasheed Wallace at the end of the third quarter.

"Oh, I haven't seen you in two days, have you improved? You have learned to talk trash!" Hearing Artest's non-stop nagging in his ear, Meng Xu laughed instantly, Artest's body Strong and very good defensively, but obviously lacks a bit of talent in talking trash. In the game between the Pacers and the Pistons, the most common thing Meng Xu heard from Artest was, bastard, get out, idiot, It is basically impossible to disturb Meng Xu with such pediatric trash talk, which is not even considered an entry-level trash talk, but Artest's trash talk just now gave Meng Xu a refreshing look. Feel.

"Idiot, you'll have to bear it later." Seeing that Meng Xu was not angry but happy, Ron Artest was somewhat discouraged. After rolling his eyes and cursing in a low voice, he knelt towards Meng Xu. Meng Xu's inner thigh gave a hard push.

"That's right, there's progress." Meng Xu leaned against Artest, and just as he was about to reach out for the ball, he felt a pain in his inner thigh. It must be that Artest was playing the second three Way to go, this kind of small action is usually very covert, and today is still the Pistons' home court, even if the referee on duty saw it, he would definitely not blow it.

"How, did I do a good job?" After successfully teasing Meng Xu with small tricks, instead of feeling uneasy at all, Artest smiled excitedly and said to Meng Xu. Tester is also ready to make persistent efforts. Anyway, head coach Larry Brown also said just now that he must use all means to prevent this annoying guy from getting rid of himself and rushing to the inside.

"You are still far behind." After receiving the pass from James Posey, Meng Xu first leaned his back against Artest, and at the same time quickly lowered his body's center of gravity, turned towards the right side of his body, and Meng Xu The moment he finished turning around, the right arm holding the basketball was slightly bent, and he swung it back very naturally.

"Bastard, this insidious guy." Artest, who was close to Meng Xu, began to move his body when Meng Xu turned his back, trying to occupy the route after Meng Xu's turn in advance, but Artest's little But his stomach just hit Meng Xu's elbow. Not to mention the movement was stuck, even the most basic defensive position was lost. Looking at Meng Xu's back, Artest gritted his teeth and cursed.

When Artest caught up with Meng Xu again, Meng Xu had successfully committed Ben Wallace's fourth foul. Listening to Larry Brown's roar on the sidelines, Artest's mood became more and more serious. Oh no.

The offensive and defensive transition, seeing that the Pacers were only left with Mtumto under the basket, so after Artest knocked away James Posey who was defending him, he reached out to his teammates for the ball. While rushing towards the basket.

Artest, who played very aggrieved throughout the series, finally found a chance to vent. After receiving a pass from Rasheed Wallace in the paint area, Artest took a shot on the spot. As soon as he hit the basketball, he took a step forward and jumped up in front of Mutombo.

Although Mutombo is the best defensive player of the four times, in Artest's view, the old Mutombo is no longer able to do it now, otherwise he would not be robbed of the starting position by a mere Brazilian kid, and he is also on the right track. Because of this, even though Mutombo was between Artest and the basket, Artest jumped up without any scruples, ready to dunk the old guy.

Especially after Artest had already jumped up, Mutombo in front of him slowly moved and took off. Artest knew that he would be able to dunk in this time, but it was a little regretful that he was standing on his own. The one in front is not that jerk, not that hypocrite.

But just a moment later, Artest looked at everything that happened in front of him as if he had seen a monster. The old guy who was slow just now had such a fast bullet speed, plus his 2-meter-high With his height, Artest instantly regretted his offensive choice.

But Artest, who had already completed the jump and made a dunk posture without turning back, had no choice but to bite the bullet and slammed into Mutombo.I hope to be able to hit this old guy in the air with my strong body.

With a dull sound, it was the sound made after muscles collided with each other. Mutombo, who didn't know how old he was this year, was really overwhelmed, but Mutombo Still doing his best, he stretched out his palm and patted the place he judged.

Mutombo can't handle it, and Artest is not much better. No matter how old Mutombo is, he is still a big guy with a height of 2 meters and a weight of 18 pounds. He collided with Mutombo At the moment, Artest seemed to hit a solid wall. Facing the huge stopping force, Artest, who knew that dunking was hopeless, had to change the dunk to a shot and threw the basketball in his hand. Then Artest, who lost his balance, fell from the air.

After landing, Artest, who almost sat on the floor, looked up at the basket, only to find that the old guy he wanted to dunk just now was shaking his index finger towards him with a smile on his face. Tester knew that it was Mutombo's unique action. This old guy would shake his index finger every time he blocked his opponent.

Feeling greatly wronged, Artest instantly surged with blood, waved his fists, and rushed towards the arrogant old guy.
