Fans at the Palace of Auburn Hills gritted their teeth.

He doesn't live up to expectations with this piston!

The game was only in the middle of the third quarter, and we were already almost 10 points behind.

On the Pacers side, except for Wu Sheng, their offensive efficiency is actually very average.

Wayne's shooting percentage today is less than 50%.

But...he stretched his hips even more during the Pistons' offense!

Among the starting five, apart from Billups, there is no one with a shooting percentage of 40%.

Attacking the crotch pull, we are serious!

Especially Ben, Wayne almost burst into laughter watching him use various postures under the basket.

Hamilton is away, and Lindsay Hunter has no offensive ability. So shouldn't the free shooting rights be evenly distributed to the remaining four people?

Big Ben has never suffered this kind of crime. If you let me keep hitting the basket like this, you might as well kill me!

As for Tianzun, it was extremely quiet today, so quiet that Wayne began to feel that the game was a bit boring.

"Hey Rasheed, why aren't you talking today?" This time, when the Pistons came up again, Wayne, who was behind Rasheed, didn't stop talking.

Tianzun glanced at Wayne with disgust, then ran out to help Billups pick and roll.

Hearth used the screen to break through, and Wayne immediately defended and helped Payton block the Pistons.

It was really wise to choose to add some traverse speed before!

Seeing this, Billups made a ground pass and sent the ball to Tianzun who was cutting in.

Wayne immediately turned his gun and rushed toward his old friend. When Tianzun went for a layup, he was strongly blocked by Wayne!

Under fierce physical confrontation, Tianzun's layup failed again.

Wayne immediately took off twice to grab the rebound, and then...he ran away again!

"Wo Cao, isn't this guy tired?" The panting Tianzun hurried to follow him. He was almost dying after running back and forth like this.

As soon as Wayne crossed the midfield line, he passed the ball to Wu Sheng, who was rushing ahead.

Wu Sheng faced Lindsay Hunter and forced a layup.

As a player with striker height, it is not easy for Wu Sheng to beat Hunter.

Hunter tried hard to raise his hands, but still couldn't stop Jackson from scoring.

At 11 points, the Detroit Pistons held on for so long, but the point difference was still widened.

"What to do, what to do, what to do, I'm so panicked, what should I do if we really encounter the playoffs? It's over, it's over, it won't really be over this time. The key is there is really no way, what else can we do?

Carlisle is sitting across from him, whose peaches should I pick?" Larry Brown sat on the bench, looking very calm on the surface, but in reality he was panicking.

"Otherwise... I'll contact the Knicks later. Yo-yo next season? Anyway, they also intend to give me a big contract."

Well, you think Larry Brown cares about the Pistons, but actually he cares more about his own money.

I'm Larry Brown, in a place like Detroit... I'm so talented!

Therefore, people were surprised to find that when the Pistons fell behind by 11 points, Larry Brown was still sitting on the bench and had no intention of calling a timeout.

"Oh? Coach Larry Brown is very calm! As expected of a championship coach, he is full of confidence in his team!" the Detroit commentator on the scene said.

"Rashid, what are you talking about?" Wayne and Wu Sheng high-fived each other in celebration, then returned to Tianzun to continue his diplomatic offensive.

"Are you feeling unwell? Do you have a cold? Oh, I heard you were so awesome before. I thought the defending champion wouldn't catch a cold."

Tianzun's fists are trembling. Who can help me get rid of this idiot? Anyone!

At this time, a basketball suddenly flew towards Tianzun.

But Tianzun was distracted by Wayne who was thinking casually, so his reaction was half a beat slow.

Just like that, the basketball flew out of bounds, and the Pistons made a turnover without confrontation...

"Rashid, focus, man!" Billups clapped his hands. To be honest, he is more of a coach than Larry Brown now.

Larry Brown is already wondering where in New York he wants to buy a house. What? The Pistons made a mistake? When did it happen?

"Rashid, do you want me to remember this as the defending champion?" Wayne shrugged at Tianzun and picked up the basketball.

I have to say, this "long-lasting delay" is real!

It's not that Wayne isn't tired at all now, but he does feel that his physical condition is much better than usual.

Sure enough, for men, durability is really important!

Artest is simply a treasure boy, and his badges are such a treasure.

"What just happened?" Billups asked Tianzun after retreating from the Pistons side.

"It's nothing, I was disturbed by that guy's trash talk. It's okay, I won't do it next time." Tianzun waved his hand, wait for the fourth quarter, if you are not good enough in the fourth quarter, I will deal with you again!

Eh? Have I said something similar before?

Then, the game came to the fourth quarter.

"Rashid, why are you so weak? You are 13 points behind. Aren't you worried at all?"

Wayne, who was pressed against Tianzun, never stopped talking.

Carlisle was speechless off the court. Wayne... was he speechless?

"Oh, I'll use this ball to shut you up!"

Tianzun was really angry. In order to avoid Wayne's chip shot, he made a shoulder shake this time, and then turned over and shot a jumper.

I don’t know if I can get in or not, but the posture is indeed quite handsome.

There was no mistake or risk on this goal, but also... it wasn't scored.

Tianzun is really too tired!

Today I was pushed too hard by Wayne on the offensive end, which consumed a lot of energy.

Decreased physical strength means that offensive stability will also be greatly reduced.

Before Rashid could react after his shot landed, Wayne ran up again.

Tianzun:???

Damn it, it’s already the fourth quarter, and you’re still running so fast!?

You really bullied me for being over 30!

Wayne rushed directly to the right corner, believing that Payton could see him.

Some people have a tacit understanding by spraying each other.

Sure enough, as soon as Wayne got into position in the right corner, Payton swung the ball over.

This counterattack didn't give the Pistons a chance to play positional defense.

At this time, Tianzun and Ben were still left behind. Only the little prince of the Pistons rushed back during the half.

Once again, the little prince had to guard against Wayne.

When Wayne saw Prince chasing after him, he didn't hesitate at all.

I heard that your wingspan is very long? I think that’s it.

Wayne shot steadily, and when Rasheed rushed back to the basket, he had no choice but to pick the ball up from the ground.

Wayne hit another three-pointer. Today he is 3-of-4 from beyond the arc!

"The score difference continued to widen, and coach Larry Brown finally called a timeout. I just don't know if this timeout will come too late."

The entire Auburn Hills Palace Stadium was silent. I thought the Pacers would let Artest and the Pistons would let a masked man. The strength of both sides should be about the same.

However, it's not almost the same, it's far different.

Without Hamilton, the Pistons couldn't even find a player who could score consistently.

At this time, Rashid was panting.

He promised that at the end of the fourth quarter, when Wayne's physical strength is exhausted, he will make that bastard pay the price!

The end of the fourth quarter came quickly, and despite Billups' unremitting efforts... the Pistons were still 13 points behind.

Well, if it weren't for Billups, the point difference would have been less than 20 points.

At this time, there are only 3 minutes left in the game. In this era, chasing 13 points in 3 minutes is still not easy.

As soon as Rasheed approached the three-point line, Wayne came up to him with a smile.

Tianzun wants to cry but has no tears. I am really scared to death of Wayne today!

Do you know that you are a strong person?

"Hey, Rasheed, it's time for you to show your strength as the defending champion."

"Just today, just today!" Tianzun replied angrily.

Then, there is no more.

Tianzun is now stuck by Wayne and cannot move at all!

Wayne actually didn't notice that he was more aggressive on the defensive end today than before.

Because of the enduring badge, Wayne has unconsciously increased his intensity on the defensive end.

After all, it’s obvious that you’re tired, so you can only use force.

Seeing Billups being blocked by Payton and unable to pass the ball, Tianzun was anxious.
