Chapter 930: 306: You really have no patience, it’s just 2 minutes (seeking monthly tickets!)_4
The Pistons retaliated, Chaki Atkins passed the ball to Artest.
Artest took the ball and pushed Roger aside, charging straight to the basket.
He wanted to fulfill his earlier words, to score before Roger tonight.
But at the mont Artest gathered for a jump shot, Roger from his rear side quickly reached in and successfully knocked the ball away.
Artest missed the attack on the rim, the Pistons still couldn’t score.
It’s predictable that this will beco the norm for their showdown tonight.
Whether it’s the Hawks or the Pistons, scoring any goal will be quite difficult for both teams.
Roger quickly picked up the ball that was knocked away, then swiftly pushed for a seven-second offense.
But Big Ben’s speed in returning to defense was incredibly fast, he imdiately returned to the basket, cutting off the Hawks’ counterattack thought.
Roger could only pass the ball to Pierce outside the three-point line, he took a step and attempted a mid-range shot but was severely interfered by Hamilton, resulting in a missed shot.
“Still missed, today’s defense by both sides is quite suffocating. I think this might be the highest level of defensive matchup in the history of the Eastern Conference Finals!”
Steve Jones’ words weren’t exaggerated, the defense led by Pat Riley with the Knicks and the Heat was also good, but they couldn’t play zone defense, rules limited the defensive capabilities of the Knicks and Heat.
Yet the Pistons broke through that limit, their average loss this season was indeed less than that of the Knicks and Heat, their defense was even more suffocating.
As for the Hawks, despite losing DPOY, they still played excellent defense with teamwork.
So this is definitely the highest level of defense in Eastern Conference Finals history, without exception!
The Hawks miss again, Pistons on offense, Atkins wants to feed the ball to Rasheed Wallace in the low post, but Marion suddenly cuts in front and disrupts the pass with his long arms.
Big Ben wanted to get the ball flying towards the baseline but accidentally pushed it out of bounds, Pistons’ offense failed once more.
The ga was filled with failed offenses, from the start until now, neither side had any opportunity to score.
No, it wasn’t just no scoring, even successful shots were only twice!
If it were two unrelated teams playing like this, it would be a disaster in terms of ratings.
But the chaotic showdowns in the regular season interest neutral fans in such strong confrontational non-scoring matches.
Who knows when these two teams would clash again?
The Hawks resu their offense from the baseline, Roger holds the ball without much entanglent with Artest, he uses a triple threat to feint past Artest and heads straight to the basket.
Seeing Rasheed Wallace temporarily blocked by Kurt Thomas, and Big Ben chasing Marion, Roger speeds up, jumps directly wanting to slam dunk under Artest’s struggle!
Artest leaps from the side trying to stop, but his body is already pressed by Roger in the air, preventing him from fully jumping.
Roger crushes Artest like this, raises the ball to smash towards the basket, it looks like a stunning slam over a person.
Artest curses silently in the air, it’s over, defense failed after all!
But at the instant Roger exerted force, Big Ben, who was chasing Marion just now, had already caught up, using unbelievable explosiveness to send himself into the air, with a big hand tily pressing on the ball Roger was smashing towards the basket!
The basketball slamd heavily into Big Ben’s hand then bounced away, Ben Wallace completed a perfect recovery, successfully blocking the slam from behind!
The three fell to the ground due to intense air battle losing balance, the Pistons quickly counter-attack, Hamilton received Atkins’ pass and scored a layup against Reeves.
For that mont, the cheers at Palace of Auburn Hills arena were enough to pierce eardrums.
Finally, Detroit Pistons scored today’s first field goal!
They took the lead in this terrifying at grinder battle tonight!
In the other half, Big Ben got up first, then extended both hands raising Roger and Artest.
Then, Big Ben touched Artest’s head: “Everyone says, I will always be behind you! Nice job, Ron!”
Although this season has reached the Eastern Conference Finals, only at this mont, Roger truly felt that intense pain and loss of a DPOY.
The solid shield behind him is now protecting others, blocking himself.
This is why even the Hawks shareholders are willing to keep Pierce, Roger doesn’t want to continue cooperating with them.
Keeping Pierce, then what about Marion? Kurt Thomas? Michael Reeves?
As long as that group of fools who enjoy internal strife is in power for a day, the Hawks will surely make “weakening themselves” foolish actions.
Artest smiled and bumped fists with Big Ben, then set up, full of confidence: “Co on bastard Roger, your unforgettable night has just begun!”
Artest has never felt such safety in his life, don’t ntion the terrible security in Queens, he didn’t even feel safe at ho as a child.
Because his parents often fought, and every fight was a life-and-death struggle, only stopped when police ca. Growing up, he only believed in protecting himself.
Artest’s psychologist also believes his anxiety and mania co from that completely insecure childhood.
In the original tiline, how could troubled Artest be reborn with the Rockets? Because he t Yao Ming, such a famous but humble person, a teammate he had never seen, bringing no threatening feeling, giving him an unparalleled sense of security.
