Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 454 Conflict erupts
The final G4 was held on June 6.

The Palace of Auburn Hills is a new arena that was officially put into use in August last year. It is also the only arena far away from the city center among all NBA teams.

Of course, this is also understandable. After all, the social security in downtown Detroit is extremely bad. In comparison, Auburn Hills, 80 kilometers outside of Detroit, has better security. The best way to watch the game is to drive. This also virtually raises the threshold for the audience.

This arena, which can accommodate 22076 people, was packed tonight, but after the opening game, the enthusiasm of the fans quickly faded. There was no way, no one could be happy seeing their own team being beaten with no power to fight back.

The day before the game, Malone had just had his stitches removed, and his ugly scar made his already vicious appearance even more hideous.

After recovering from the injury, Malone also became more active. He and Rodman once again propped up the Warriors' restricted area, and spared no effort in rushing for offensive rebounds. In just 5 minutes, the two grabbed 5 frontcourts rebound.

Not only that, but Li Weisi was astonishingly accurate tonight, making three three-pointers in the opening game. Thomas' defense was useless in front of Li Weisi.

Obviously, the loss in the last game made the whole team breathless. They must win this game, otherwise if this game is tied, the trend of the entire series will change accordingly. This is absolutely unacceptable to them things.

"Oh, my God! I can't believe my eyes. West's three-pointer's entire back is almost parallel to the floor, but it still makes it! 22:4, the Pistons called the game The second timeout." The commentator Stockton exclaimed.

Let alone him with such a start, I believe that all fans did not expect that the Warriors would beat the Pistons like this.

"The Pistons must make adjustments. Chuck must adjust the players' state, otherwise the game will be announced ahead of time for the Warriors to win." CBS's new commentator Hubie Brown couldn't help but sigh.

"So Hubie, what do you think the Pistons should do? To be honest, seeing the Warriors in such a hot state, I can hardly imagine any good way to contain the Warriors' offense." Stockton asked.

"Contain the Warriors' offense? There is no good way except for fouls. I think the most important thing for the Pistons to do now is to adjust their offense and score 5 points in 4 minutes. For a championship team, no matter what It's all unreasonable." Brown couldn't help criticizing.

Hubie Brown has a great background. As early as 78, he won the NBA's best coach. After the Knicks got out of class in the 86-87 season, he ended his coaching career and came to the TV station to become a commentator.

I have to say that as a coach, he can see at a glance that the problem of the Pistons is not defense, but offense.

However, this is not to say that the Pistons' defense is okay, but compared to defense, the Pistons should start with the offense first, restore the offense first, and then improve the defense. Things need to be done in the same way .

The Pistons did come back from a timeout as Brown said, and the Pistons' star Isiah Thomas was the first to take over the banner of the Pistons' offense.

In the first three games, Thomas's performance was not worthy of the title of head star. On the contrary, Dumars performed even better, more like the core of the team.

However, for Dumars' outstanding performance, Thomas did not have the slightest jealousy. On the contrary, he was very happy. As long as it can increase the strength of the team, he will only be happy and not jealous.

But while he was happy, Thomas couldn't be satisfied with his performance. This is his team. At this most critical moment, if he doesn't stand up, who else can stand up?
Therefore, after a timeout, he decided to play singles by himself.

Needless to say, Thomas' skills are definitely at the top level in the league, but most of them, he focuses on invigorating the team's offense, and when facing the team that needs him to score, he will never hesitate .

The 28-year-old Thomas is at the peak of his body and technique. His speed is much faster than Li Weisi's. With just one acceleration, he broke through Li Weisi's defense like lightning.

Fortunately, Li Weisi's retreat was not slow. Although Thomas broke through, he still stuck to him tightly, making it impossible for him to take off easily.

However, Thomas has a lot of experience. Faced with this situation, he came directly to Ma Hong's side and relied on Ma Hong to play a pick-and-roll to get rid of Li Weisi.

Li Weisi was hit by Ma Hong, and when he bypassed the pick-and-roll and continued to chase Thomas, Thomas had already completed a layup.

The Pistons thus broke the scoring drought.

However, if you want to chase points, it is not enough to rely on your own scoring. You also need to limit the opponent's scoring. Therefore, in the face of the Warriors' offense, how to defend against Li Weisi has become the most difficult problem for the Pistons.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Li Weisi once again broke into the inside line of the Pistons' so-called no-fly zone. Tonight, Li Weisi has entered and exited here many times, doing piston movements against the Pistons' inside line.

This time he was facing Lambiel, but Lambiel did not dare to make small moves easily, because he was afraid that Li Weisi would seize the opportunity and pass the ball to Malone who was running down.

At this moment, Li Weisi suddenly received the ball, and it seemed that he was about to throw the ball. However, at the moment he took the ball, Ma Hong rushed over from behind Lambir. However, Li Weisi still moved a step faster. Throw the ball first.

Ma Hong, who missed the ball, did not stop his steps. With a ferocious smile, recalling the shame Li Weisi had brought to him, he directly elbowed Li Weisi in the face, and Li Weisi fell face-to-face immediately. .

When Li Weisi shot, he had already noticed Ma Hong's attempt, but he was not afraid. He chose to hit the shot instead of protecting himself.

Perhaps, for him, the desire for the championship has surpassed the protection of the body. He has waited too long for this championship.

The basketball hit the rim and bounced into the net, but no one cared about the goal at this time, because people found that there was a large amount of blood on Ma Hong's body.

Li Weisi's nose was already flooded with blood, and the blood on his face looked very scary. Li Weisi, who fell on the ground, curled up in pain.

Ma Hong stood up from the ground as if nothing happened, and Rodman rushed over first, but Ma Hong used his arms to support Rodman who came to argue.

The referee rushed over as soon as he saw the conflict, but before he could pull the two apart, players from the other two teams also rushed over, immediately drowning the referee and the two in the crowd.

Among the crowd, it was already unclear who made the first move, only a fist hit Ma Hong's face, Ma Hong could bear it, and immediately fought back, and immediately a full-scale martial arts was staged among the crowd.
