Chapter 474 This is a tricky game
Artest's mentality as he walked off the court was simply exploding.
He now thinks that Lin Sa is here to play in NBA to defeat him. As long as he meets him, there will be no good things.
Carlisle noticed Artest's aberration, but in this case, it may not be a bad thing. Artai is in very good condition this year, and even from Carlisle's perspective, it may be better than Lin Sa.
When Lin Sa came on the Pistons, Artest's performance began to be abnormal. Carlisle believes that this is caused by psychological factors. At this time, it is better to relieve it than to block it. Although Carlisle hates Artest, as the head coach, he is professional and will not abandon his public for personal gain at this time.
In the second quarter, Carlisle did not replace Artest, but repeatedly warned the beast to pay attention to his mentality!
However, at this time, Carlisle did not notice that the Martial Saint was a little dissatisfied. In the first quarter, the Martial Saint was not worse than Artai's performance, and there were fewer mistakes. Artai scored two mistakes in a single quarter and Jiang Jiang's three% hit rate, while the Martial Saint finished the first quarter with a hit rate of 57%.
At this time, if Carlisle let Arte take a break and slow down, he would understand even if he didn't give the Martial Saint's right to attack. However, Carlisle's obvious preference was that he did not replace Arte and gave him more ball rights!
If Xiao Ao and others knew about the Martial Saint’s idea, they would definitely show him the video of last year. What is the preference? Last year, the two of them almost started fighting.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Carl Malone, Max, Lin Sa, Hamilton and Billups, Da Ben and Livingston, who were playing in the Pistons, both entered the rest area. Da Ben rested occasionally, while Livingston basically had to wait until the fourth quarter or at a critical moment before playing again. After all, he didn't have much time left.
Brown, Old Man, explicitly prohibits Livingston from emptiing his physical strength. He is most powerful when the knife is not unsheathed. Once Livingston's background is understood, it will not be easy to achieve a strange effect next time.
O'Neal Jr., David Harris, Artest, Martial Saint and Harrington on the Pacers' side.
Harris is a large center forward who is 2.13 meters tall. Carlisle came forward to further strengthen his inside defense. Looking at the Teddy's look in heat and the slight unwillingness in the Martial Saint's eyes, Lin Sa felt that the previous preparations could work!
The Martial Saint scored soul data in the first quarter. It was not that he was stronger, but that the Piston was consciously allowing the Martial Saint to attack!
Artest is cheating on himself this year, and no one can do anything to him, but the strength of the Martial Saint is actually still above the top line than Artai. This is not too much, but this is not much distance, which is the gap between the All-Star and the Ordinary Star, Dingxin and the Middle School.
This season, the Martial Saint entered the Pacers' starting point, with averaging 9.6 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 block and 1 turnover. The data is mediocre, and it is directly in half when he was with the Hawks. This is certainly due to his sacrifice of the ball and paying more attention to defense, but more so, he still cannot adapt to the Pacers' rhythm.
NBA, no one will cooperate with you anywhere, treating you as a baby, and your record and momentum must be counted!
Lin Sa entered the European confrontation with Artest. The little brother Max on the side nodded to the boss in secret, and went to defend the Martial Saint. He knew what he should do.
Carlisle sat on the sidelines and watched the game progress, and felt an indescribable awkwardness. He couldn't see where the awkwardness was, but it was very awkward.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Artai was still very poor, and Lin Sa's endless chattering was indeed annoying, which made Artai throw another five-pointer one out at the beginning. However, in terms of the score, the Pacers were not behind. When Artest kept hitting the iron, the Martial Saint's offensive effect was directly full.
In the whole game, only Lin Sa and Wu Sheng hit the basket with one shot of 1 or 1 or 1. When everyone kept beating the basket, only Lin Sa and Wu Sheng had a hit rate of about 60%.
It's not surprising that Lin Sa's side, and the whole team pulled him away to make goals alone. Lin Sa himself is a star who is good at offensive ability. It's not surprising that he scored high scores and was efficient, but Martial Saint...
Carlisle's sideline commander announced a change of defense, and Max faced Artest.
Very sensitive, noticed?
Lin Sa glanced at Carlisle thief. Brother Max seemed to be young and released a lot, which made Carlisle, the old cannon, see it. However, it doesn't matter. After all, the piston is very hidden. Carlisle saw it, which does not mean that others can see it too.
Once the defense was changed, the scene immediately changed.
Speaking of which, Lin Sa actually gradually entered a disadvantage. The Martial Saint's defense is very good. It plays a good restrictive role in defending Lin Sa. It prevents Lin Sa from being one of three shots. Although Lin Sa works very hard and looks more efficient than Max, it can never stop the Martial Saint's score!
As for the Pacers' star, Ate, also known as Taiko, he is almost in full swing now.
Max is really annoying. Max's physical fitness, scoring ability, and even defensive reading are not as good as Lin Sa's, but he is annoying. That's really a crime. He puts his arms and elbows at a time. No evil actions will be offended, nor will it hurt people, but it's just disgusting, which is outrageous!
Under such an environment, Atai's score continued to fall into the water!
Lin Sa, the script master, smiled with satisfaction, and was walking as he wrote the script. Although Carlisle seemed to have noticed something, the impact was not great.
Half past the second quarter, the Pistons led by 3 points and entered the timeout.
Carlisle was setting up tactics on the Pacers. Originally, the Martial Saint wanted to finally get more ball rights this time, because the Martial Saint has scored 14 points and 3 rebounds, which made the Martial Saint think that he could do it. On the court, he still has the hard power to maintain his dominance.
But, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Carlisle still asked Artest to do the first round of attack, but only emphasized the way of playing if he really couldn't play Lin Sa, he would pass the ball.
Isn’t this the implicit statement of circumventing the blame?
Wu Sheng was angry, why? Everyone is a type of player. They have played for one and a half quarters. Atai made a mistake and made a lot of the ball. He only scored 10 points. He has been taking the blame, making up for the leaks, and even defending the opponent's top scorer. Even so, he still has 14 points in the data, why can't he attack?
Just because you, Arte, come early!?
With this breath, the more Wu Sheng thought about it, the more angry he became.
The suspension ends and both sides return to the competition battlefield.
The Pacers' offensive center of gravity remains unchanged, and there is only one ball. When Atai continued to attack, the Martial Saint of course had no ball to play. Moreover, Lin Sa seemed to be very thief and always prevented the Martial Saint from taking the blame.
