NBA: This Center Is So Stable

The two sides have been in a state of panic.

Chapter 250 “Teammate” turned against each other

Faced with this somewhat nonsensical question, Prince shook his head.

He looked at the referee who fell to the ground, and a trace of relief and sadness rose in his heart.

Luckily, he managed to dodge after successfully angering Ben; sadly, it was the referee who bore the pain for him.

“I never expected that the tickets to the finals were actually given to us by the opponent.”

“Does he still have a chance to play in the NBA?”

“Why do I feel that it is not an accidental injury? Is he preparing to send the referee away after accumulating strength for so long?”

···

The Knicks team was whispering, and everyone was secretly happy.

No one laughed out loud at Ben’s self-defeating behavior, which was the greatest respect for the referee.

Just as Detroit fans said, the Pistons, a team full of evil, has been famous for its tough style since the 1980s and 1990s, which is a style that workers generally like.

But now it seems that whether it is the previous waste of Wang Song or the open fist pointing at the referee this time, it proves that this “toughness” of the 1990s has passed an era.

On the court.

After a while, the game entered an official timeout, and the referee was carried away on a stretcher. The NBA officials quickly arranged for an emergency referee team to rush to the scene.

Ben sat speechless on the sidelines, waiting for his own trial.

And Larry Brown, who had been pleading for him at the technical desk, looked gloomy.

The panic in the eyes of the two assistant referees had just faded. They were in no mood to pay attention to the Pistons coach, and they focused more on the video playback just now.

CCTV live broadcast room.

From the moment the earth-shattering punch was delivered, the CCTV studio became completely silent.

The sudden situation on the scene made the two commentators unable to react. This WWE boxing match broadcast live by the NBA was rare even for the two experienced commentators. It was even as exciting as the seventh game of the finals.

“Sure enough… the evildoers will be punished by the evildoers! This unscrupulous look of Ben was actually caused by the referees in Detroit. Now he has suffered the consequences.”

“Yes, Coach Zhang, the referee today will not be able to get out of bed for ten days or half a month. Fortunately, it was not Prince who was injured. Otherwise, even if the Knicks advance today, they will still be missing a general in the finals.”

Coach Zhang, who was still in shock, tried to slow down his tone. The shock brought by this punch could not be dissipated in his heart for a long time.

···

The scene of the game.

The official coordination ability was outstanding. After a while, a temporary referee was called in to allow the game to continue.

The boxing match that had been watched repeatedly on the big screen also stopped playing, and the penalty for the Pistons was determined.

Ben Wallace was directly ejected from the game, and the upgraded penalty would have to wait for post-match discussion.

On the Knicks side, Prince was given a technical foul for provoking and quarreling with the opponent.

When the referee read out the result at the technical desk, there were complaints on the scene.

Obviously, Detroit fans were very dissatisfied with this result. They tried to beg the referee team to make up for Big Ben’s fault, but the newly appointed iron-fisted referee obviously would not pay for it.

From his expression when he looked at Big Ben, it can be seen that at least no one will be hurt by Big Ben in this game.

In the stands behind the Pistons’ players’ bench.

Bill Laimbeer and Isaiah Thomas had complicated expressions.

“The NBA is really a soft-ass sect now. Two players can be ejected directly without any physical contact?”

“Yeah, Bill, it seems that we are really old and can’t keep up with the times. If you go back to the current league to play, I guess you will be banned forever.”

At the end, Isaiah Thomas showed a bitter smile and helplessness on his face: “Tayshaun Prince, this rookie left a deep impression on me when I came to the Pistons last year. He was timid in front of Ben Wallace, carrying bags, water cups and handing towels… I didn’t expect that it was this former Pistons rookie who made the former team lose the strongest fighting force!”

“What did he experience in the Knicks?”

···

Knicks players’ bench.

“Guys, it’s your turn to perform!”

Even if all the Knicks players are fools, they can hear the excitement in D’Antoni’s tone.

The players gathered together and formed a circle with one mind.

Wang Song was the first to stretch out his hand, and then countless big hands pressed on it

.

The Knicks watched such a team scene, which made the Pistons fans at the scene feel very uncomfortable.

They wanted to attack the Knicks by insulting and slandering, trying to restore the Pistons’ hope of victory in this way.

But this kind of magic attack became futile in the face of the absolute gap in strength.

Although Ben Wallace is a member of the Pistons with a hot temper, even the Knicks have to admit that the Pistons without Ben are like the West without Jerusalem.

From the top team in the league, the Pistons can only be described as a first-round playoff team.

At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks led the Pistons 31:21.

The 10-point single-quarter difference made the Pistons fans realize that a historical tragedy about the Eastern Conference Finals was being staged at the Palace of Auburn Hills.

After the second quarter, after losing Ben, the Pistons’ inside defense can be said to have quickly fallen from a first-class team to the edge of the playoffs.

Especially after Milicic was injured, Larry Brown frowned at the Pistons’ empty interior.

In the end, Rasheed Wallace was asked to play at the fifth position to fight against Wang Song!

The Pistons seemed to have a “tough” fetter, and Ben’s departure successfully activated Rasheed Wallace.

Through constant fouls and dragging, “The Roaring Lord”‘s defensive effect on Wang Song was quite impressive, at least the first half did not become a solo show for the Asian boy.

But at the same time, the price he paid was also painful.

“The Roaring Lord” committed four fouls in the first half, and after focusing on the defensive end, he lost his voice on the offensive end.

This can be said to be a fatal blow to the Pistons’ offense. Originally, the interior offense relied heavily on Rasheed Wallace. Now in the absence of Ben, Rasheed Wallace changed his position to a tough guy on the defensive end, and the interior suddenly lost the threat.

Larry Brown’s move once made the Knicks start to press the Pistons all over the court!

The Italian champion coach is not a fool. He knows that most of your inside players are useless, so the next step is to target the outside players.

Under the siege of the Knicks, Billups and Hamilton gradually became exhausted.

The butterfly effect of Ben’s departure is far greater than Larry Brown imagined!

Looking at the completely collapsed Pistons, Larry Brown, who had been pacing back and forth on the sidelines, sat down in the players’ seats without saying a word.
