In the first game of the Eastern Conference semifinals, the two sides fought really fiercely.

This intensity is not only reflected in the score, but also in the physical confrontation and trash talk confrontation.

If you want to know what it means to take a ball while fighting, then watch this game.

"Way passed the ball to Jermaine, and he was going to attack under the basket. Oh! Ben Wallace knocked Jermaine directly. This is the style of Detroit, they don't hesitate to foul and don't allow the opponent to get easy

A chance to score!”

When Steve Kerr saw O'Brien being knocked off the baseline by Big Ben, he felt a bit of pain in his body.

This damn thing is so cruel!

I have to say that the series between the Pacers and the Pistons was so exciting.

Moreover, the referees were very cooperative in making the scale of this series very large.

Although Stern has now begun to advocate offensive basketball, he has not completely abandoned confrontation. There is still a big difference between Hiyori's style of fouling at the first touch and causing no one to defend.

If we go by the standards of the regular season, the Pacers and Pistons would have already graduated with six offenses.

"What do you want to do? Do you think you are hard?" As soon as O'Neal got up from the ground, he rushed to Big Ben.

The two beasts looked at each other, and their noses seemed to be touching.

This is not the first time that O'Brien has been violated by Big Ben today. His shooting percentage today is very bad, less than 45%.

This is all thanks to the rough defense of the best defensive player.

And the referee will not call those rough defenses every time.

"What's wrong, sissy? If you think you can't fight, get out. No one is asking you to fight. This is a real man's game. Madam, please stay away." Ben raised his hands in the air, pretending to be innocent, and then

His mouth didn't stop.

The referee intervened in time and separated the two sides.

Conflicts like this have happened many times today.

"Another conflict has been resolved. The smell of gunpowder between the Pacers and the Pistons is indeed very strong." Cole looked up and saw that Wayne had not intervened in the matter.

Well, then we definitely can't fight.

Even though all the players on the court look fierce now, if you want to say who really dares to take action, it’s only Wayne!

As long as Wayne doesn't intervene, there will definitely be no fight.

Wayne shook his head from the outside. You guys are so unhygienic. Aren't you afraid of saliva splashing from such a close distance?

Actually, Wayne didn't dare to do anything openly today. Otherwise, Ben would have been beaten long ago!

He's been pulling Xiao Ao so many times today, and he's just pushing the envelope.

But there is no way, the championship is more important!

Stern has a firm grasp on everyone's psychology.

During the regular season, each of you was more arrogant than the other, and each of you played harder than the other.

O'Brien and Artena were both suspended twice in one season.

Although Wayne was only suspended once, he became famous whenever he took action.

But now, Stern is not afraid anymore!

If you dare to fight, I will suspend you. If I dare to suspend you, do you dare to lose the championship?

You don’t dare!

Therefore, Stern did not let the referee interfere too much in the game today.

Let them make a noise, and they won't dare to do anything anyway!

If you create some gimmicks, you can also stimulate the ratings.

Otherwise, the game between the Pacers and the Pistons, in which the opponent has less iron, is worth watching.

In this way, the two sides were noisy today, but there was no major conflict.

At this time, the game had entered the last three minutes of the fourth quarter. O'Neal Jr. stood on the free throw line and only made one of two free throws.

The excessive physical confrontation affected Xiao Ao's touch.

After making one of two free throws, the Pacers led the Pistons by 3 points.

Today, everyone did not score many points, and their shooting percentages were generally low.

It's because the defense is so intense.

Wayne has only scored 15 points so far, making 5 of 8 shots and 3 of 4 free throws.

Wayne is one of the few players who has a pretty high shooting percentage today, and he is very confident as long as he takes a shot.

But the key is that Wayne doesn't have many chances to take action today!

The Pistons' defensive strategy today is dynamic double-teaming.

What is called dynamic double-teaming is that once Wayne holds the ball, depending on the situation, one of the little prince and Big Ben will definitely double-team Wayne.

Well, it's really outrageous for the defending champion to double-team a first-year rookie.

Although Wayne had the experience of scoring goals under the defense of Webber and Dalembert in the last round of the series, he is not Kobe after all.

Under normal circumstances, Wayne would not choose to take action when double-teamed.

Therefore, Wayne passed most of the balls with poor chances.

Therefore, Wayne's scoring was indeed limited to a relatively low level today, much lower than when he played the 76ers.

Compared with the Pistons, the 76ers can basically be called undefended.

However, passing the ball did not help the Pacers open the situation.

If it is passed to Artest, not to mention whether his three-pointer is stable, the little prince can always make up for it as soon as possible.

Coupled with the interference of his long arms, it is difficult for Artest to effectively take advantage of the double-team opportunity and hit the shot.

And if Xiao Ao was leaked, the scene just now would be the result.

Ben was very active in running today and was always able to rush back and interfere with O'Neill's shots.

Xiao Ou's shooting percentage today was less than 45%, and he was knocked down again and again. This is how it happened.

Overall, the Pistons' defense was successful, but they also struggled offensively.

Tianzun has made 3 of 12 shots so far. Under Artest's defense, the little prince is basically a transparent man on the offensive end.

The Pacers and Pistons, as always, defended with brutal physical combat, torturing each other and enjoying themselves.

Trailing by 3 points in 3 minutes, the Pistons definitely had a chance to make a comeback, and they did not give up.

On the next goal, Rasheed set up an off-ball screen for the masked man Hamilton.

Facing the Pistons' offense, Carlisle's strategy was to switch defenses indefinitely and not give the Pistons the first chance.

Therefore, Wayne immediately switched defense in front of Hamilton, giving him no room to shoot.

As a result, Billups went to Rasheed directly.

Just like that, Wallace hit a three-pointer under Payton's weak defense and tied the score!

"Come on, kid, score 36 points and show me!" After Rasheed scored, he naturally yelled at Wayne.

"You just scored four goals today, are you so happy? I scored five, do you think I'm happy? Or have you forgotten that your shots are almost twice as many as mine, and you still score goals?"

One less than me?"

"Fuck!" Rasheed was hit hard again, and Wayne's rebound was simply powerful.

The score was still tight, and this game finally gave Pacers fans a bit of a playoff feel.

This time Jackson held the ball and Wayne stepped forward to cover.

But Hamilton's ability to get around screens was also very strong. He quickly defended himself in front of Jackson again, and the confrontation was quite rough.

Jackson passed the ball to Xiao'ao again, and Xiao'ao played in the low post!

Although he is not tall, he is strong.

It's okay for O'Neill to bully Dalembert, but it's really hard to do anything if he beats the boss from behind.

Although both sides had a heated exchange of words before the game, it was just a fluke to ridicule Ben.

But there is one thing to say: Ben, the best defensive player, actually has something to offer.

Seeing that he couldn't reach the basket, Xiao O decided to turn over and shoot a jump shot!

Then, at this anxious moment when the score was tied, at this moment when the star player urgently needed to step up, O'Brien's turnaround jumper failed again.

That's right, again.

In the Eastern Conference finals last season, O'Brien experienced this kind of embarrassment countless times.

When he needs to attack at a critical moment, he can easily be blocked and completely misfired.
