The Basketball Court Swordsman

Chapter 171: : A pair of "geniuses"

Pachulia considers herself a tough guy, of course, she also feels that her small actions are extremely clever. Al Horford suffered from Pachulia's small moves in the first half of the game, and "Birdman" Anderson often entangled with Pachulia.

So just after halftime, Anderson fouled 3 times. But Pachulia is more "excellent", he has fouled 4 times.

However, the Georgians don't seem to care if they will be sent off. He will reduce the number of fouls in the second half of the game, but he will certainly not reduce the number of small moves he makes.

Unlike Larry Drew, Pachulia is not a player hostile to the Pacers. He just wants to help the team win, and the rough and dirty are just the way he treats the game.

"Pachulia, pay attention to fouls in the second half of the game. But if necessary...you can play appropriately. After all, Anderson has already fouled 3 times." During the intermission in the locker room, Drew confronted Pachu. Riya said, let the Georgians' eyes shine.

"Yeah." Pachulia nodded, without Drumming saying, he also knew what to do.

Pachulia is barely a passing center, but what about Pachulia? The Hawks' inside line is very empty. If Pachulia is sent off, Drew will have to start with the Serbian white inside Radmanovic. However, Radmanovic is just an anti-aircraft turret, he does not have the ability to play the fifth position.

Preemptively, before Pachulia is sent off, this may be Drew's plan.

After the start of the second half, in order to protect Pachulia, Drew had to use the 34-year-old center Jason Collins who had not played for a long time. Collins entered the line with the 18th pick in the first round of 2001. He has been a role player in his career, with not dazzling statistics and mediocre abilities.

The only time Collins was discussed by fans was because he was the first athlete in the history of North American sports to admit that he was homosexual. Before Henson crossed over, it was because of this incident that he knew the name Jason Collins.

This shows that Collins is a very courageous man. But on the basketball court, courage is not enough.

In the second half of the game, the Eagles' offense was slower than before, because they were already scared by the Pacers' quick counterattack. In order not to make mistakes, the only thing the Eagles can do is to slow down as much as possible.

However, the Pacers' strong perimeter defensive chain did not make the Hawks' positional battle complete, and Josh Smith's impact missed under West's defense. Josh Smith is indeed an All-Star level swingman No. 3 or 4, but Drew's use of Josh as James's messenger is a bit difficult.

In an offensive and defensive exchange, the Eagles must withstand the flood of offensives by the Pacers after an offensive miss. Drew thought that due to physical factors, the Pacers' offensive in the second half of the game would be weakened a lot. However, the fact is that the Pacers players are playing harder!

They seem to abandon the set of shooting open space, but strive to break through the penalty area, trying to solve the battle close to the basket.

It is Henson's skill to prescribe drugs against the "array". Since the center of your lineup is a weakness, don't blame me for being rude.

As a result, Jason Collins was called a foul less than a minute after he played, and there was still a terrible 2+1.

"Jason's speed is too slow, he has no time to make up for the breakthrough prevention. By the time he reacts to the foul, it is already too late. To be honest, instead of letting the opponent score 2+1, Collins might as well let him George scored."

Kenny Smith shook his head. Since the beginning of the 08-09 season, Collins has not played 50 games in any season. In addition to the injury problem, Collins is not strong enough, which is also the reason why he is almost unable to play.

If Drew is not available now, he probably won't be replaced by the old center who has been out of sight for a long time.

George made a steady free throw and hit a three-pointer as soon as he came up.

Before the fourth quarter of the game opened the score, Henson's request players can all be kept in mind.

At this time, Drew was also a little panicked. With a 13-point difference, he said he was not big, but he was not easy to chase him. Now it’s not to see whether the Pacers can sustain the fourth energy saving, but whether the Eagles can survive the fourth quarter decisive moment!

Fortunately, a three-pointer by Josh Smith relieved a little pressure on the Hawks. I have to admit that Josh's condition today is really good, Henson estimates that this guy scored 30 points today is not a problem. But what is enough for 30 points?

"Continue to press on, press on!" Henson was still standing on the sidelines and directing. Today's game Henson's **** did not stick to the bench. As he said to An Jiali before the game: "How can I disappoint this old friend Drew?"

As a result, the originally smooth game was once again interrupted by the referee's whistle. Jason Collins fouled for the second time in a row. This time, it was Danny Green who was not good at breaking through with the ball.

Green’s sudden cut made Marvin Williams, who was not focused enough, unexpectedly. After all, Green didn’t have much chance to perform today, and as an off-the-ball pitcher, Green’s range of movement is generally at the three-point line and Middle distance.

While Marvin Williams was still thinking about how to help Johnson defend George, the one beside him suddenly moved out.

So, Paul Miao sent in, and Green, who cut in, directly attacked the frame after receiving the ball.

Jason Collins of 2.13 meters is the highest height on the court at this time, but this height does not seem to have a deterrent effect. Even the off-ball shooter Green dares to challenge Collins head-on.

Collins really can't jump, and his defensive consciousness has dropped a lot. With another foul, Green went to the free throw line.

At this time, Drew's eyes couldn't help but fall on Pachulia. Although the Georgian is not a super center who can dominate the penalty area, at least he is there, and the inside of the Eagles will not be beaten into a sieve with holes everywhere. Moreover, Pachulia also has some "skills" that Collins is not good at.

Pachulia also looked at Drew, with an expression of "I can't wait to go up and overturn those bastards." But Drew still held back, no, Pachulia must be saved for the final moment!

For the third time, Collins finally did not foul again. Because the Pacers did not directly attack, Paul lightly dropped the ball to Horford from outside the three-point line, and then everyone pulled away to watch Horford's personal performance in the low post.

A smooth back turn made Horford easily wiped Collins, seeing Horford break through himself, Collins simply stopped chasing after him. Because he knows very well that if he takes off and blocks, the only possibility is to take another foul.

As a result, Horford, who had left the team because the Eagles were unwilling to renew the contract with a big price, slammed his old club in the face with a two-handed dunk.

In fact, Horford is not dissatisfied now. At the beginning, he was really reluctant to leave Atlanta and his teammates. But when he arrived in Indianapolis, he discovered that life here is also very good. It can even be said that Atlanta is better.

Here, he is still an All-Star, he has more offensive methods and won more victories. Most importantly, the Henson’s party also made him get to know his current wife Emily Vega.

When the Pacers defeated the Hawks' inside three times in a row, Old Drew had to make a change. The 34-year-old Collins has been embarrassed and even unable to adapt to NBA-level confrontations. If this continues, even if the Pacers can't fight back, the Hawks will collapse before the fourth quarter.

"Pay attention to your foul, if necessary, other people help Pachulia block the foul!" In the end, Drew compromised. He replaced him with a Georgian who had already committed four crimes. This was just a "faced honest" villain.

Seeing Pachulia playing, Henson smiled instead: "Stephenson, Chris, you guys are playing again. Needless to say, do you guys know what to do?"

Let Pachulia leave early, which Henson arranged during the intermission.

It's just that Henson didn't expect that the opponent also wanted his own people to leave early.

As a result, the lineup of the two sides became the same at the beginning of the second quarter, the second round of a hand-to-hand battle, officially started!

This time, Pachulia did not intend to stay honestly until the end of the game. No foul, there must be a non-foul play.

So in the first attack, Pachulia used a very exaggerated flop, tricked the referee's whistle, and successfully stood on the free throw line.

"Birdman" Anderson kept complaining to the referee, and Henson also used his own roar to pressure the referee. But even so, Pachulia steadily picked two points as soon as he came up.

"Pachulia is a very cunning guy, the Pacers center must pay attention!" Seeing Pachulia tricked Anderson into fouling, O'Neal on the commentary stage was a little angry.

After all, O'Neal and Pachulia did not fight once or twice. Although even O'Neal in the Celtics period can beat Pachulia 13-0. But O'Neal will never forget the 05-06 season, when he was still on the Heat, he was forced to end the game after only playing 20 points.

The reason is simple, Pachulia's "cunning" made O'Neal graduate from the six crimes early. O'Neal believes that it was one of the most frustrated games of his career.

So far, Anderson also has 4 fouls on his back. Drew wants to see, who of us will burn to death first!

After letting "Birdman" add a foul, Pachulia is still not honest. On the contrary, this guy who feels good about himself has a plan and plans to show his fists and make something more exciting!

This is a pick-and-roll between Paul and Anderson, the purpose is to force Pachulia to dislocation to defend Paul, forcing him to foul.

Paul used the screen to make a jump shot that was very aggressive. He leaned forward suddenly just to commit a foul! However, Pachulia was not fooled, he just stood in place with his arms raised.

If only this is the case, after all, Paul can also score goals while leaning forward. You can score even if you don't commit a foul.

But at the moment when Paul dropped the ball to the ground, Pachulia took a step forward unnecessarily and "unintentionally" padd his instep under Paul's feet!

"This bastard!" Seeing this action, Henson's expression on his face changed immediately!

Paul also saw Pachulia's movements, and instantly understood what the scumbag wanted to do! The next second, Paul landed, and he moved his footing slightly, avoiding Pachulia's black feet. But he was still unstable and fell to the ground.

Although Paul was not injured, anyone with a discerning eye knew what Pachulia just wanted to do. If Paul does not adjust in time, the consequences will be disastrous! So West strode up and pushed Pachulia away, not forgetting to give the Georgian a big elbow.

"Get away, you dirty Georgian bastard!"

"You **** say it again!?"

"What do you want to hear, I will tell you!" Stephenson also rushed up immediately, not afraid of the bigger Pachulia. But fortunately, George held him, and the two did not fight together.

Pachulia was so shocked by the two, that she was a little confused in an instant. The rest of the Eagles couldn't watch Pachulia being so bullied, so a few Eagles players also stood in front of the Georgians.

The players from both sides huddled together, and some physical contact inevitably occurred.

"The scene is very chaotic, the players from both sides are crowded together!" Kenny Smith immediately stood up nervously, the Pacers are not good guys.

At the same time, the scene just now was played back on the big screen. It is not the scene where Pachulia and West clash, but the moment when Paul shoots.

"Gosh! This is a dirty, extremely non-professional action!" Watching Pachulia deliberately stretch her feet under Paul, Kenny Smith used two very heavy words in a row!

No matter how fierce the game is, it will always be a game. But if you intentionally hurt someone, the nature is completely different.

Old Drew looked at the court nervously. He was not worried about Pachulia, but was observing Paul's situation. If Paul can't stand up, then this game...The Eagles will undoubtedly have a better chance of winning!

Do you think he cares about Paul's health? Think too much.

"If Pachulia hurts Chris, I will personally rush to beat that bastard, sure!" Henson also stood on the sidelines eager to try, he was even ready to be suspended. But Silas and Vogel obviously didn't let their head coach lose their minds, and stubbornly grabbed the young man in a floral suit.

But in the chaos, Paul slowly stood up. He walked two steps and found that his ankle was OK. It seems that just now, I have avoided it perfectly.

"Next time you wear Lao Tzu's signature shoes to do this kind of thing, you nameless boy, you dirty bastard!" Paul stood up still thinking about squirting with Pachulia, and there is indeed nothing serious.

A few minutes later, the chaos on the scene finally subsided, and the referee repeatedly studied the video and sent off Pachulia and West who flew by an elbow.

To Henson's surprise, Drew still had the face to argue with the referee. You know, Pachulia is "the fact of the crime is conclusive."

After all, this penalty caused the Eagles to lose the only center they could use, but the Pacers' Paul and Birdman still did not fall!

There is no doubt that this put Drew in a desperate situation, can he not worry?

Henson shook his head. Drew and Pachulia, the "geniuses", couldn't even play dirty...

The only center of the Hawks has been "in jail" and that is the time to end this stupid game.
