Chapter 515
Facing Lindsay Hunter of the Pistons, Simmons used a mid-range shot to solemnly declare to people that he is indeed a rookie, a 10,000-year substitute, and a water cooler keeper, but he is still very powerful. Ran Wen Xiao said ?? .?r?anen`org
The race began to get into a scorching situation, which was somewhat unexpected.
The strong Pistons were unable to establish their lead as the game entered the second half.
Before the game, the general opinion among pundits was that the Pistons would easily win the game.
As for the final result of this series, it is believed that 4:1 should be the most reasonable result, and there should be no suspense for the Pistons to enter the next round. As for the Knicks, they should be able to win a game for their own sake.
But now the situation is that although the Pistons have taken the lead, that advantage is almost negligible.
The Detroit Pistons have completely fallen into the mire of the Knicks, and it is not easy to get rid of the opponent easily. And judging from the current situation on the field, they will only sink deeper and deeper, as for the result of the game, who can say?
"Well done, Chauncey!" Lamar shouted, slamming his fist hard.
It can be seen that Lamar is very excited now. Although the team is still two points behind the Pistons after scoring this goal, from the current form, the initiative of the game is slowly shifting in the direction of the Knicks.
Billups didn't speak, just reached out and pointed at Lamar, the goal just now was really thrilling.
Lamar passed straight to the baseline, and Billups relied on Dampot's cover, dodged the joint block of Prince and Ben Wallace, and used an extremely awkward action to make a backhand layup and score the ball.
Back in his own half, the first thing Billups did was pull his knee to rest, he was so tired.
Billups doesn't have the physical strength of Lamar, and Houston's temporary departure has made Billups's responsibilities even more, both mentally and mentally.
Billups had a heavy task, not only to assist Lamar in organizing the offense, but also to take on the perimeter defense. Now as soon as Houston, who is the main offensive force on the outside, leaves, Billups has to take on Houston's offensive tasks again, and it is no wonder that Billups is so tired.
In fact, it's not just Billups who feels tired, but Houston, who has a good physical condition, is also a little overwhelmed.
People can always hear their own heartbeat in the midst of jealousy and fatigue, and that's the case in Houston right now. Now Houston feels like his heart is beating louder than the sound a basketball makes when it hits the floor.
By this time in the game, Houston had not been given any more time to rest except for a five-minute rest while bandaging his injury.
Simmons, the team's only backup on the lineback, not only has to rotate Shanton Anderson, but he also sometimes has to step up to the shooting guard position.
For the sensitive position of scoring guard, although Lamar can also make a cameo, Lamar is too tall, and doing so will also limit Lamar's other abilities, so Houston can only hold on hard until now.
This game can be stalemate to this point, in addition to Lamar's strength, Darmster's recovery on the inside, the biggest contributors are Houston and Billups, the two old guys.
So far, Houston has 19 points, three assists and one steal. Billups also had 13 points, seven assists and two steals.
In the absence of major players and veteran players with playoff experience, these two old guys who are not old guys have become the treasures of the team.
In today's game, the Pistons' two giants, Ben Wallace and Rasheed Wallace, are naturally a little angry.
I thought that dealing with the Knicks, who had an incomplete lineup and little playoff experience, would be as simple as the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves. Who knows that the development of the situation is not as simple as they think! The entire Knicks team is facing great difficulties in the team, and the energy that bursts out can almost evaporate them to the world.
You can imagine the madness of a group of madmen when they think their lives are at stake.
The current Knicks are like this, they don't seem to spare any physical strength at all, they only know how to fight vigorously.
Unlike when Lamar was off-season for Vanessa, the Knicks didn't collapse in the second half due to physical problems.
Although the current Knicks players are tired, they are far from the point of collapse.
The reason for this is that they now have one more person. Don't underestimate this one, it is precisely because of this one that Van Gundy has more options when arranging club rotation, and the distribution of physical strength among the players is more reasonable.
That's right, that person is Lamar, who is in control of the game, and his passing allows his teammates to reduce a lot of unnecessary running, which also saves the players a lot of energy.
"What a bunch of obnoxious guys. Rasheed Wallace angrily threw the ball to Lindsey Hunter and rushed into the Knicks' interior like an angry child, only he didn't have as much trouble getting back in now as he did at the beginning of the game.
Dampotter waited for the battle, half-crouched and propped up his two arms to resist Rasheed Wallace without retreating.
With Dampot and McDies ready to answer, they don't want to be so embarrassed to deal with Rashid Wallace at this point.
As for Lamar, Van Gundy let him play small forward in order to save Lamar's energy. Compared to the Roaring Celestial, who could rage at any moment, at least Prince's small physique would not cause any damage to Lamar.
Rasheed Wallace took the ball and tried it, but when he didn't feel like he had a good chance, he passed the ball out again. Pull yourself near the free throw line.
Although he is hot, Rashid is not a reckless person, and since he has no chance, he has to create opportunities for his teammates.
Lindsay Hunt dribbled twice, and he was surprised to see that he couldn't break through Billups. The guy in front of him was obviously seriously physically exhausted, but once he tried to break through, he would immediately become a dragon.
Seeing this, Lindsay Hunt gestured to Ben Wallace.
Ben Wallace understood and immediately pulled out to make a wall. Lindsay Hunt took advantage of the situation to bypass Ben Wallace and rush inside, but just a few steps before he had to stop.
Dampoter did a good job of switching defenses this time, pulling out in time to block Lindsey Hunter.
"Damn it!"
Lindsay Hunt scolded secretly, but there was no good way, a big man like Dampoter with speed and arm reach was too much of a threat to him.
Lindsay Hunt made a fake throw to attract Dampoter's attention and then turned in the air to pass the ball to Rasheed Wallace.
Rasheed Wallace didn't stop long after receiving the ball, and with a flick of his wrist it passed to Stackhouse's hand on the other side of the court.
Stackhouse didn't play very well in this game, and only scored eight points so far. Of course, this also has something to do with his lack of chances.
Seeing the ball coming, Stackhouse screamed strangely, took the basketball and was about to shoot.
Seeing this, Houston quickly jumped up to block it, but didn't realize that he had been fooled until his body rose into the air.
Stackhouse didn't jump at all, and seeing that Houston was fooled, he took advantage of the situation to bypass Houston with his short body.
Stackhouse, who was on a blistering spurt, jumped up to shoot before McDyce could come up to fill in the shot.
"Huh!"
Ball in!
Stackhouse shrugged his shoulders when he saw the basketball hollow into the net, then put his hand to his ear to listen, and then swayed his trademark celebration step by step.
"Is this guy sick?" Many fans began to question this guy's IQ when they saw this disgusting and spoofing action.
If it's here, it's Madison, the home of the Knicks. This guy is sick and has in his head!
Of course, the Knicks fans did not live up to Stackhouse's hard work, and the audience was full of boos, mixed with a lot of scolding.
Many fans are appreciating it with the same mood as watching a monkey show, and of course, some fans simply ignore it.
Lamar is the calmest man on the pitch.
Almost as soon as the basketball went through the net, Lamar quickly moved to the basket and took the ball and threw it directly to the referee.
Seeing that the referee still looked stupid, Lamar yelled anxiously: "Give it to me!"
The referee still didn't react, but Lamar's obscenity still subconsciously threw the ball over.
After receiving the ball, Lamar looked ahead and smiled.
Houston was running forward as fast as he thought, and the Pistons player closest to Houston were still a few meters away.
"Alain!" Lamar shouted, throwing the ball straight away.
The basketball flew over the court, almost across the entire court, and landed accurately in Houston's hands.
At this time, Stackhouse, who should be responsible for defending Houston, was still happy with his teammates on the bench, where did he realize that the crisis had come.
"Boom!"
A classic fast-break dunk once again narrowed the gap between the two sides to two points.
Watching Houston dunk quickly, Stackhouse's expression was really wonderful.
"You're a good clown!" Houston, who has always been a quiet man on the team, couldn't help but snort when he passed Walker's side.
Some Knicks fans close to the sidelines naturally heard it clearly, and suddenly there was a thunderous laugh in the court: "Haha! Joker! That's right." ”
Rasheed Wallace also had a black face and slapped Starkerhouse's ass hard: "Don't do such boring things in the future." ”
It's not that Rashid is angry that Stackhouse patronized the celebration and forgot to return to the defense, the key is that such a switch of offense and defense really hurts the morale of his side.
Seeing that his teammates' faces were not very good-looking, Rasheed Wallace quickly clapped his hands and said loudly, "It's okay, guys! Now we are still ahead, return them a ball, and completely knock the Knicks down." (To be continued.)
