Don't talk trash to him.

Chapter 62 Su Wan is not wrong
After scoring the first goal, O'Neal Jr. roared, causing the audience to cheer and encouraging his teammates.

Larry Bird looked at him and nodded with satisfaction.

To be honest, O'Neal is also a player with great leadership qualities. If Suwan wasn't there, he would think that after Reggie Miller, O'Neal was the leader of the team.

Now...

"Dangdang!"

On the court, Chauncey Billups broke through Tinsley with the ball and got the shooting space, but he forced himself to pull up and missed the jump shot. ——It is said that the playing style of "Mr. Clutch" is a very extreme "Moneyball" style, breaking through and adding three points, but "quick stop jump shot" is his common method.

In the battle for position under the basket, Foster successfully protected the rebound.

Since December, Rick Carlisle has been very fond of using this white center, who is big, strong and capable of holding his own. This rebound was reflected in his ability to keep Ben Wallace, the two-time "rebounding champion", firmly behind him.

The ball was given to Suwan again.

Using the same style of play, Suwan used his body to force his way through Hamilton.

It was also at this time that Su Wan understood why Manu Ginobili almost became the Finals MVP in the 05 Finals.

The Pistons' wing defense is as weak as paper.

Of course, it also has something to do with the tactics arranged by Rick Carlisle.

In order to facilitate Suwan's singles, the Pacers usually cleared the front line on the same side. Tinsley stood on the same side as Suwan, and everyone else stood on the other side. The Pistons did not have any switching defenses. The only ones who could cover for Hamilton were Billups at the No. 1 position and Ben Wallace in the interior.

In the previous ball, it was Billups who was assisting in defense and missed Tinsley, which allowed him to complete the open cut so smoothly.

Then “if you leak one step, all the steps will leak.”

Billups learned from the last lesson and let Ben Wallace defend Suwan alone.

Su Wan was not in a hurry to go inside. He dribbled the ball twice on the spot and pulled back to the three-point line. The Pistons were unable to switch defense, so Big Ben could only bite the bullet and follow him outside.

"Small against big" outside the three-point line.

Since Ben Wallace is an outside player with sufficient strength and mobility, Suwan, whose breakthrough skills are not that impressive, was not successful in this singles.

However, this is not surprising. Ben Wallace became the winner of the "Best Defensive Player Award" twice because of his "no-dead-angle defense" that can "play inside, outside, and in mismatches."

but……

Su Wan knew very well that the situation was "2 to 1" and he was not panicking at all. He just shot the ball. He thought that even if he missed the shot, there would be someone to grab the rebound. But the ball just fell into the basket.

"Nice!" Barkley shouted, "18 more points!"

Kenny Smith glanced at him calmly.

Huh~
A sneer.

"Best Defensive Player?" How could Su Wan miss this opportunity? No matter whether it was a "lucky ball" or not, he just spread his hands and LeBron... no, he started to mock.

The close-up shot magnified the uninhibitedness of his movements, and the female Indiana fans at the scene couldn't help but spread their legs.

It's wet!
It's wet!
Ben Wallace, feeling humiliated, kept a thousand trash words in his mouth and glared at Su Wan.

During the Pistons' offensive round, Su Wan said without hesitation: "Come on, single me out!"

Ben Wallace: “…”

"Or do you want to push someone again?"

"I……"

"Ignore her, Ben, focus on the game. What's wrong with you today!" Rasheed Wallace had been paying attention to the situation of the two people. Seeing Ben Wallace clenched his fists, he hurried over, pulled Ben Wallace away, and patted him on the back.

Away from Su Wan, Da Ben became much more sober and asked himself: What's wrong with me?
He is not usually so impulsive!

After taking a look at Su Wan from a distance, he understood. This kid was so annoying!

Every move he made implied "Hit me if you can."

"Dangdang!"

The Pistons attacked again, but Billups failed to break through, so he passed the ball to Rasheed Wallace at the top of the arc.

In fact, he can be considered the originator of "dealing cards" from the top of the arc.

When he played this trick, Green was still wearing open-crotch pants!
The Pistons' offense depends on Billups' organization and his support. Apart from the two of them, the Pistons' starting lineup has no ability to hold the ball.

Rick Carlisle is well aware of this and emphasized it before the game. Once Rasheed Wallace walks toward the top of the arc, the two defenders guarding Billups and Prince must defend closely to prevent them from having the opportunity to receive the ball easily. Even if they receive the ball, they should not be given the space to shoot immediately.

A pitcher is most concerned with rhythm. If the rhythm is broken, he will not dare to shoot.

This defensive arrangement was successful. Wallace was forced to miss a three-pointer. Foster once again secured the rebound.

"Another miss. It seems that the Pacers are the team that got into the game faster tonight!" Su Qun said, "Looking at the picture, the Pacers are expected to continue to expand their lead."

In fact, the Pistons' offensive slump is not just tonight.

Rather, since December 12, their offense has been unable to open up, with only two games with a shooting percentage over 10%, one of which was against the Cavaliers. The rest were all below 2%, generally only around 40%.

The game against the Hawks was the most outrageous, as their team averaged 31.4% shooting.

Even the usually steady Billups' shooting percentage has been hovering around 33% during this period.

Therefore, they have only won 6 of the past 2 games, including a 1-point win against the Knicks, and only won the game against the Cavaliers by 81 to 69, a big win of 12 points, defending LeBron, who was proving himself, to only 19% of his shooting percentage, which made people see the appearance of the defending champions.

Larry Brown's team is like this, they don't know what offense is when they play.

This violent and paranoid old man doesn't care that the team's offense is not getting going.

In his opinion, offense depends on the condition. If the condition is not good now, as long as the condition is adjusted back, it will be smooth immediately and there is no need to rush.

But on the defensive end, they were beaten twice in a row, and Larry Brown's face suddenly fell. But that was on the sidelines, not in the training ground, otherwise his words would have been as unpleasant as they could be.

"Defend yourself!"

Seeing Tinsley on the opposite side holding the ball and passing half court again, the Pistons hadn't even set up their defensive formation yet, so he yelled. This yell directly frightened the "human victory cigar" on the bench. After more than a year in the Pistons, he really had a bit of PTSD.

The Pacers still had Suwan holding the ball and playing one-on-one. Kenny Smith couldn't help but complain: "Does the Pacers have no other tactics? Why is it that all the newcomers are holding the ball and playing one-on-one?"

Barkley knew why he was impatient and laughed strangely.

However, Kenny Smith had to admit that even though Suwan was the one holding the ball and playing one-on-one, this move was able to score points.

This time, Suwan failed to make a shot against Rasheed Wallace, but with the help of Foster, O'Neal Jr. got the "offensive rebound" and successfully made a "second attack."

"Timeout, timeout, give me a timeout quickly, these bastards have no idea what they are doing!" Larry Brown growled at the assistant coach to go to the technical table, while he took the tactical board and waited in the area where the players left the court.

Less than 2 minutes into the game, the Pacers' 6-0 scoring spree directly stopped the Pistons, and the scene was filled with cheers.

Are these Pistons really the defending champions?
How does it feel...

So weak!

We let Artest and Stephen Jackson play, but they couldn't beat us?

What Indiana fans don’t know is that the Pacers, who originally didn’t have Suwan, also fought the Pistons until the very last minute in this “Christmas Game” before losing 93-98.

They have a firm belief:
Sure enough, Su Wan was right, these people were just a bunch of weaklings who couldn't even beat a ball and were fighting there!

Artest was the most excited and positive one. He knew very well what winning this game meant. When Su Wan walked off the court, he immediately turned into a "ball boy", handing out towels and Gatorade, and kept saying behind him: "Well done, well done, keep it up, uncle!"

The 100-second timeout ended quickly. The Pistons made big adjustments this time, and it was obvious that they were targeting Suwan's shooting.

Larry Brown put Prince in front of Suwan for single defense.

The "little prince" is also very thin, but he is a striker with a height and wingspan, which can interfere with Suwan's shooting. In this way, Ben doesn't have to come out to defend, and the "double Wallace" can focus more on dealing with O'Neal and Foster under the basket.

The effect was obvious. The Pacers, who scored three consecutive times at the start, failed to score in the next attack.

The Pistons gradually took the initiative on the defensive end.

The defense drove the offense, and they then regained some of their offensive form. At 6 minutes and 57 seconds into the first quarter, the Pistons, who were passive at the start, overtook by 15 point with a score of 14 to 1.

This time it was Rick Carlisle's turn to call a timeout.

"It's time to test the results of your pick-and-roll!" Carlisle decided to take out the weapon he prepared for this game: "Su-O" pick-and-roll.

He also specifically replaced James Jones with Reggie Miller at the three position to open up space.

Before going on the court, Su Wan suddenly turned his head and said to O'Neal, "How about you try some more mid-range shots later?"

O'Neal has a mid-range shot, and even when the "Smiling Assassin" was on the Pacers, he was developing his three-point shot. But halfway through the development, Larry Bird fired Thomas, and after Rick Carlisle came, he transformed him into Tim Duncan, developing his low-post singles and offensive methods around the basket, and the three-point skill package was lost.

However, mid-range is still one of his fixed means.

O'Neal was a little hesitant. Players of this era did not understand that shooting space was more important than distance from the basket. He also believed that he could make the opponent continue to shrink his defense, squat under the basket, and create scoring opportunities for the outside line only if he played a threat under the basket.

When Su Wan saw his expression, he knew that he was unhappy, but he didn't continue to persuade him.

If he continued to persuade him, O'Neal would easily think that he wanted to control him remotely, which would then trigger the child's "rebellious psychology", which would not be worth the effort. He believed that as the game continued, O'Neal would take the initiative to try his suggestions.

Is there any need to question Wallace's ability to make people have diarrhea?
Ok?
