I just want to play healthy basketball

Chapter 296
"Ben Wallace won the first possession of the game for the Pistons!"

"Without a doubt, this is the best start the Pistons have had in this series!"

"However, the Bucks are already very familiar with the Pistons' offense. They retreated in a timely manner and did not give the Pistons a chance to play a fast break.

This also means that if the Pistons want to score this goal, they must grind their positions.

In terms of defense, the Bucks are no match for the Pistons. In terms of offense, it is not so easy for the Pistons to successfully complete the first attack and gain the lead from the beginning of the game! "

In the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Bucks played against the Pistons until the fourth game.

The Bucks did not encounter any particular difficulties in the first three games, and they won the game fairly easily.

By Game [-], and possibly the last of the series, the Bucks finally felt some pressure.

"Be careful everyone, especially when it comes to physical contact with Pistons players, we don't need to get hurt in this game."

He Li stood in the defense position on the left side of the three-second zone, and said this to the four teammates in front and behind.

Although the current Pistons are not the bad boys of more than ten years ago, but in the semi-final tiebreaker, can the Pistons' defense be as "clean" as the previous three games?
This is really not sure.

In the first three games, the Pistons gave the Bucks players a lot of physical contact on the defensive end. Although the dirty methods of stepping, digging, elbowing and pushing people were not used, it was inevitable to give some small moves secretly.

But today, in order not to be swept by the Bucks and to keep the suspense of the series going, the Pistons may blatantly turn small actions into malicious fouls.

After all, looking at this series, the referee's penalties are becoming more and more favorable to the Pistons.

In the last game, the Bucks had only 14 free throws in total, and even He Li had only 5 free throws.

In the past, when He Li scored 40 points, he mainly scored from mid-range and under the basket. It is not uncommon for He Li to score double figures in free throws.

On the contrary, in the last game, in the eyes of the Bucks fans, He Li was almost killed by the Pistons, and He Li got 5 free throws pitifully. This is indeed an unfair penalty.

Fortunately, the Bucks still won, so no one is concerned that the two teams have completely different penalty standards.

But in today's game, as a Bucks player who knew he was going to be cheated by the referee, he had to be careful to deal with the more reckless Pistons players.

In the playoffs, either you die or I die. The ancestors of the Pistons were not clean. After the modest gentleman Grant Hill left, the Pistons played defensive basketball again.

It's Larry Brown coaching again this season!

The Spurs coached by Popovich, Larry Brown's personal disciple, have raised a few black hands who do dirty work.

As a well-known iron-blooded coach in the league, Larry Brown coaches a team with a dark history like the Pistons, so he will naturally not be polite to other teams.

And the Bucks definitely don't want to lose their strength to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals and the Finals because of the Pistons' black hands.

Then, it is necessary to deal with the Pistons carefully and finish this game.

Of course, it is necessary to win this game while being cautious.

"Hamilton is running crazily without the ball. Joe Johnson seems to be unable to keep up with Hamilton's footsteps. Will this be an opportunity?"

If the Pistons want to start the first attack, Hamilton's off-ball running is essential.

The Pistons actually don't need Hamilton to make this goal, but they need Hamilton to run off the ball and threaten the shot to attract the Bucks' defense, just like He Li.

Hamilton can not shoot, but as long as he runs, the Bucks must have someone chasing him to defend, and another one or two people staring at him all the time.

Among them, He Li was also one of the people who paid attention to Hamilton.

"Billups did it, Hamilton did it, Joe Johnson did it, He Li did it!"

Billups suddenly flicked his right hand, and the basketball brushed Penny Hardaway's shoulder and flew past the bottom line on the right!

At the same time, Hamilton used the screen of Rasheed Wallace to sprint from the left corner to the right baseline and pass the ball.

He Li noticed Hamilton running back under the basket and planned to step forward to help defend at all times.

Now that Billups is passing the ball to Hamilton, He Li is not too surprised, but has a kind of joy that is exactly what he wants.

"Hamilton, your kid still fell into my hands!"

He Li opened his big hand first and stepped forward. Seeing this, Hamilton immediately retracted his shot when he was really ready to shoot. He made a fake move and took a step towards the three-second zone, trying to pass He Li.

At this time, Joe Johnson filled He Li's previous position and continued to intercept Hamilton.

Hamilton passed the ball straight to Prince who ran into the left corner.

Prince wanted to hit the basket after receiving the ball, but Kwame Brown immediately rushed out from the basket and took the initiative to go up to Prince, not only preventing Prince from going to the basket, but also preventing Prince from making a shot.

Fortunately, Billups ran to the free throw line to respond, and Prince passed the ball again.

But at this time, He Li returned to the defense position and helped Penny who came after him to double-team Billups.

Near the three-second zone, the point guard being double-teamed is really ineffective every day.

Seeing that the pass to Prince was blocked by Kwame Brown, and someone blocked it in the other two directions, Billups, who couldn't pass the ball, could only pull out his hand.

The middle distance was originally Billups' forte, but in the face of double-teaming, Billups made a hasty shot, and Billups was not sure about the ball.

The ball spun and headed for the basket, but only scratched one side, and bounced back without bouncing forward again.

At this time, almost all the players of the two teams were under the basket.

Next is the most intense time to grab rebounds, and it is also the time when it is most likely to be tricked.

However, the Pistons didn't make a fool of themselves and played directly.

Seeing Boozer seize a good position to take off first, Rasheed Wallace directly reached out to greet Boozer's head.

Looking at this posture, I don't think it is a posture of grabbing rebounds, but it is simply aimed at hitting people.

The same is true for Ben at the basket. Ben's positioning and rebounding awareness are excellent.

But finding that Rasheed Wallace had already made a shot, he didn't choose to take off to grab a rebound.

Instead, he squeezed to the basket one step further, hitting Boozer with his chest who had already taken off, and on the other side elbowed Kwame Brown's waist who had just taken off, trying to make Boozer and Kwame Brown lose their balance in the air.

He Li was originally worried that his teammates would be stepped on, but this time he paid attention to everyone's feet and was not in a hurry to take off.

Seeing teammates suffer at this time, how can we hold back?

He directly raised his elbow and rushed forward, hitting Da Ben's waist hard.

"Karl Malone is my teammate, Ben Wallace, how dare you act presumptuously in front of me?" He Li elbowed Da Ben, and uttered such rubbish in front of Da Ben.

But then, without waiting for Da Ben to spray He Li back, he fell down and suffered a lot.

The on-site referee saw that Da Ben fell, and the players on both sides squeezed towards the basket again. It seemed that there was going to be a conflict, so they first blew the whistle for He Li's foul on rebounding to prevent the conflict from intensifying.

As for what to do next, let's watch the replay first and communicate with other referees.
