"Here, Richard!"

When Hamilton heard this, he immediately felt as energetic as a dead tree in spring, and the basketball was pressed down by him between his legs, and he himself had no intention of stopping.

Hamilton knows that with Billups' experience and defensive skills, he has a way of organising his offense in the most difficult of situations – fouls, so all Hamilton has to do now is clear all obstacles for his teammates behind him.

Billups sees Hamilton's situation very clearly.

At this time, the basketball that was hidden by Hamilton had fallen into the hands of Van Exel, who was quickly plugged in from behind. At this time, Billups could only watch Fan Crazy jump, and then easily put the ball into the basket.

Van Exel also began to play, and the play of the two offensive masters inside and outside drove the Pistons to run at high speed, narrowing the score gap between the two sides to two points at once.

Next, the two sides staged a back-and-forth battle on the pitch at Auburn Hills Palace.

The Knicks want to play fast, use speed and penetration to drag down the Pistons' defense, and the Pistons also want to drag the Knicks into their own frequency with solid defense, and finally wear the Knicks to death with defense.

The two teams that are not at the same frequency at all play their own basketball, and the result is that until the game enters halftime, no one can help the other.

48：44！

The Knicks still had a four-point lead, which at the time was the lowest score the Knicks had scored since entering the playoffs.

"That's not going to work, that's what Detroiters want. They wanted to drag the game into positional battles, and as soon as we started to follow their rhythm, they fell into their hands. ”

For the players in the first half, Van Gundy was by no means satisfied. The Knicks, who have always been known for their strong offense, only scored 48 points in more than 20 minutes of play, which is simply a failure.

At the beginning, he could still rush left and right to support the team's attack, but soon he fell into the opponent's defensive wall, and only scored 13 points in the entire first half, if it weren't for the seven assists, Van Gundy would have thought that Lamar and Vanessa had indulged in *

You must know that such examples are not uncommon in the NBA, and many players are ruined in women's bellies!

"Lamar, now the team needs you to step up, you have to break down the Pistons' defense, and the icebreaker in the second half starts with you, how about confidence?"

"Of course!"

Lamar solemnly reassured, then pulled off the towel covering his head and stood up. At this time, he gave people the feeling of a hungry wolf who suddenly woke up from sleep, and the light of his eyes made people shudder.

Rasheed Wallace, who was Lamar's main rival, actually scored 16 points and 6 rebounds in the first half of the game, which embarrassed Lamar, who was defending Rashid, and he had to take action at this time.

In the game, if one side puts too much energy into defense, when the game is really dragged into a state of anxiety, there will undoubtedly be some problems in terms of physical strength.

Although the Pistons successfully limited the Knicks' scoring in the first half of the game, the Knicks only scored 48 points in the first half. If it weren't for the Knicks' bench players, it's hard to say who is leading now.

This is already a victory in itself, but only the Pistons themselves know the truth, and while they did a great job in the first half, the physical exertion was also very severe.

Especially in the first half, Rashid Wallace and Ben Wallace, who have been entangled with Lamar, even after a break of ten minutes, their feeling of exhaustion is still very strong.

At the start of the second half, the Pistons kicked off first.

The ball was once again back in Van Exel's hands after being passed to the front court. Facing Billups' defense, Van Exel dribbled a shot to divert Billups' attention before jumping up. As Lamar pounced to block his shot, Van Exel's wrist flicked and he passed the ball to Rashid's hand not far away.

"Huh!"

"Rashid ... Wallace!" The high octave of the DJ's depressed for a long time once again echoed in the arena of the Palace of Auburn Hills.

Suddenly the stadium was thunderous, and the fans who had suppressed the whole half of the game cheered, and the rough and crazy side appeared on them again.

"Well done! Rashid!"

"Kill the New Yorkers and show them how good we are!"

"Wait to be **** flowers, clowns in New York! You're going to die today!"

Rasheed Wallace hit a three-pointer to close the gap to just one point.

"Well done!" Larry Brown, who had always been moody off the pitch, was also unusually excited, clapping his hands with Rashid Wallace walking to the side with his eyes open, and then roared loudly.

"Don't worry, Larry, I won't let you down. Rasheed Wallace smiled and patted Billups' hand.

Lamar, who was out of position defensively, didn't seem so frustrated at this time, picking up the basketball on the ground and throwing it to Darmsot: "Remember what I said in the locker room!"

Hearing Lamar's words, the Knicks' players immediately perked up, and they could already anticipate the prelude to a storm.

Billups didn't pass the ball after taking the ball across half court, just kept hovering outside the three-point line, waiting, waiting for Lamar's battle order.

Suddenly, Lamar moved, and almost at the same time as he acted, the Knicks' giant war machine began to run at high speed.

Dampoter pulled to the perimeter, Alan Houston moved to the free-throw line, and Sean Battier began to move closer to Lamar.

"Block the defender for me!"

That's Lamar's order, since the Pistons are the toughest defense on the inside, let's start with the outside and shred them first.

In the blink of an eye, Dampot and Sean Battier made two pick-and-rolls for Lamar. At the same time, Sean Battier also firmly blocked Ben Wallace, who defended Lamar, and did not dare to give up his bag of Lamar, and by the way, cut off the connection between the two ends of the Pistons half.

At the same time that Lamar ran out of space, Billups' pass arrived.

The basketball crossed a straight line like a scalpel on the court and was handed to Lamar accurately. Although Billups is the most low-key star on the Knicks' main lineup, when it comes to strength, he is not inferior to any star player on the team.

Chaunci Billups, who is smart and calm, knows exactly where he fits into the team and knows what to do when he wants. All that was always on his mind at this time was passing the ball to Lamar.

"Well done!"

Lamar secretly said in his heart, and without waiting for the center of gravity of his body to stabilize, he jumped up directly, raised his hand and threw it.

With a shot like this, Lamar doesn't know how many times a day he has to practice, but even if his center of gravity is unsteady, he still has plenty of confidence to shoot the ball.

"Huh!"

Sure enough, the basketball slid steadily into the net! The score gap was back to 3 points again.

Seeing the Knicks' offense, Pistons head coach Larry Brown couldn't help frowning. He has the impression that Lamar has always been a player who is very conceited about his own strength, and even if he learns to rely on his teammates, he will never let himself seem so helpless, leaving everything to his teammates to solve, and he only focuses on the last shot.

"This is a problem!"

Larry Brown knows that what is really scary about Lamar is not those dazzling interior steps, nor is it domineering slam dunks, but the terrifying scoring ability when he gets excited.

If Lamar learns to play with his head and minimize his physical exertion, it will definitely not be good news for the Pistons.

Larry Brown now really envy Jeff Van Gundy sitting on the Knicks bench. He really didn't know what kind of his disciple had stepped on, and he was able to coach a talented player like Lamar in his lifetime, but he obeyed the tactical arrangement!

Thinking of this, Larry Brown looked at Jeff Van Gundy, whose head was shining, and muttered in a low voice: "Didn't this guy always advocate defensive basketball when he was studying by his side? When did he start to transform? Could it be that he has been hiding clumsily before, this guy is a genius?"

Larry Brown struggled to keep his spirits on the court again, looked at his bench, beckoned to shooter Ronald Murray, whispered a few words to him, and substituted Murray on the court.

Murray came on to replace Hamilton, who didn't shoot consistently tonight, and his substitution proved to be the biggest defeat for the Pistons in the whole game.

Murray didn't bring anything new to the Pistons when he came on the floor, and while his outside shooting ability was stronger than Hamilton's, it reduced the vitality and speed of the Pistons as a whole. What's more, under Alan Houston's serious treatment, he has no chance to shoot at all, and can only keep pulling and running, bringing a little bit of help to the team.

"Bang!"

Prince misses the shot, and Lamar squeezes inside to grab the rebound.

Although Ben Wallace was able to teach young Dampoter a lesson with his experience, his experience became an ornament in the face of Lamar, who was not inferior to him in terms of bounce, height, and experience.

"Chauncey!"

Lamar yelled and passed the ball out, and ran towards the Pistons' half of the court himself.

For a while, the frontcourt formed a two-on-two situation, and the Pistons had time to return to defense only Van Exeland and Prince.

Alan Houston is naturally the target of the opponent's care, not only Prince is close to the defense, but even Van Exel is always watching Lamar's every move and does not dare to take it lightly.
