"We can't just give up! There is still time in the game, so we don't necessarily have no chance of turning the tables. Now that the New Yorkers have a 21-point lead, they're going to let up and the defense is getting less and less focused. This is our chance! As long as we grasp it, we will have a chance to turn the tables!" Looking at his dejected teammates, Rasheed Wallace couldn't help but be angry and roared loudly.

When he was with the Portland Trail Blazers, he used to do that. At that time, the teammates around him were also just as weak, and every time he yelled like this, like a hair dryer to wake up the fighting spirit of his teammates. Unexpectedly, after changing teams, arriving at the Detroit Pistons, and having strong teammates around him, he also had to do this like a nanny to sober up the people around him.

Suddenly, Rashid Wallace felt like he had been thrown into a cotton bale, and he felt physically and mentally exhausted.

But at this time, Rashid Wallace can't be the first to fall, he is very clear about his position in the Detroit Pistons, although nominally Ben Wallace is the boss of the team, but in fact he is the real person in charge.

"Cheer up! It's not time to give up, you know? The New York Knicks are never going to be invulnerable, they must have weaknesses too. No one can stay 100 per cent focused for more than 40 minutes, and as long as we get it, we can turn it around. Rasheed Wallace's loud roar made his teammates feel a little eager to fight, but it had little effect.

Because no matter from the previous head-to-head record, or all the games of the Knicks, when they led by more than ten points before the fourth quarter, they have never been overturned by an opponent.

When the game resumes after the timeout.

After the game began, the Pistons, who had recovered a little bit of morale, became completely desperate. To the despair of Rasheed Wallace and his teammates, the Knicks not only did not let their guard down, but they still looked scrappy and refused to give them the slightest chance.

After a few unsuccessful assaults, the Pistons were beaten by the Knicks into a few fast breaks. Seeing that the score gap was still widening, the Detroit Pistons gradually gave up. Although Rasheed Wallace still refused to go off the court, even fighting until the last minute, it still failed to change the fate of the team's defeat.

Seeing the red light of the game come on and the dazzling 113:87 displayed on the electronic scorer hanging high in the arena, Rasheed Wallace slammed the basketball in his hand to the ground in anger.

With a loud roar, Tianzun turned around and walked towards the players' tunnel.

Lost! Lost again! The original advantage is completely gone, and the worst thing is that the Knicks have two more home courts in the future. The Pistons are likely to face the dilemma of being controlled by the Knicks, which is something they never expected before the game, and the road to the Finals seems to be uneven.

In this game, Lamar scored a game-high 37 points, in addition to 12 assists and 11 rebounds.

'We played really well as a team and we found the right way to play. The next two games will get easier and easier!"

"Thank you to my team-mates, they helped me a lot in this game. Samuel, in particular, did a great job today! Although he was a little immature in defending Rasheed Wallace in the high post, he did a good enough job. On top of that, I also want to thank Jeff for all the years he has done for the team!"

After winning the game, Lamar also seemed very happy, and when interviewed by reporters, he also showed great patience.

Lamar was in a good mood, but Rasheed Wallace, who lost the game, was not in such a good mood. Trailing 1-2 in the aggregate made the Pistons' path to advancement look precarious.

"We played so badly! we didn't show our true level at all, we were kept pressed from start to finish. Especially in the final stages of the race, my teammates clearly lacked the courage to fight. When the score is down, they forget what we want to do for the season and even give up! that's not what I want to see, we should be more motivated and not think about giving up as soon as the score is down. It's not the mental qualities that a championship team should have, and I hope that when the next game starts, my team-mates and I can forget about it and try for a win. ”

Rasheed Wallace hasn't given up hope yet, and neither has Kevin Garnett, who is also in the West.

After a home victory, the battle for a spot in the East-West Finals is even more confusing. I'm afraid this puzzle will have to wait until the end of this series, and then these four teams will solve it together.

The Eastern and Western finals are now all 2:1, making what should have been a fairly clear path to qualification confusing.

After a few days of rest, the fourth game of the divisional finals officially began.

The first game is still the Minnesota Timberwolves' home game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

The two teams faced each other in the last round, and the Timberwolves finally won a victory thanks to Garnett's excellent performance.

Now that the fourth game has started, the Timberwolves, who have tasted the sweetness, have once again put on a tactic with Garnett as the core, and are maneuvering with the powerful Lakers.

In Sanders' mind, with Garnett's strength, he can completely match the Lakers' aging sharks and postman, plus the impact and home advantage of Sprewell and Kassel, the victory is basically in their hands.

But the game didn't go as easily as the Timberwolves thought.

Kobe Bryant, who had been out of order in the last game, hit three three-pointers as soon as he came up, and it looked like the loss in the previous game spurred the superstar who was used to starting to work in the second half. As soon as the opening of the day began, he couldn't wait to show his fangs, ready to hurt someone.

But the Timberwolves are not easy after all, after stabilizing the formation, Garnett began to frequently fire on the inside, turning around and jumping from a high position as if he didn't want money. Postman Karl Malone was once suppressed by Garnett on the defensive end and couldn't even lift his shots.

Seemingly motivated by the previous game, Garnett was even hotter tonight than the last. blocked O'Neal twice in the first quarter alone, and with full of enthusiasm, O'Neal only grabbed 3 rebounds in the first quarter.

At the end of the first quarter, the two teams were tied at 23:24.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the situation on the court changed dramatically. The two teams, who were all substitutes, still maintained a good shooting percentage, but the sudden power of Fox and Fisher in the Lakers still caught the Timberwolves off guard.

The two men combined for 14 points in just the first five minutes of the second quarter, extending the Lakers' lead to 10 points at once. The Timberwolves only relied on a three-pointer from Jarric and a free throw to score five points.

In the next game, the imposing Lakers played another wave of 14:2 attack under the leadership of Shaq, who returned to the court, and steadily suppressed the Timberwolves' scoring momentum.

Since then, the two sides have successively replaced the main players, and the game has once again fallen into a state of anxiety.

By the end of the first half, the Lakers' lead had been extended to as many as 18 points, and the Timberwolves were in a precarious position.

After adjusting at halftime, the Timberwolves also started to chase points in the second half. The Timberwolves, who were eager to narrow the score gap, even used the chase fast break and bombardment tactics after the start of the second half, although they beat the Los Angeles Lakers by surprise at the beginning and had a little effect, but Sanders gave up his best tactics in a hurry, or let the Timberwolves come back at the price.

113：95！

The Timberwolves lost again on their home court, and the overall score between the two sides became 3-1, and the Lakers got the match point.

In the East, the Knicks, who had taken a big lead, did not give the Detroit Pistons any hope of winning the whole game. In the wild boos of the fans, the Knicks relied on Lamar's steals to win consecutive fast attacks at the beginning, and suppressed the Pistons under him.

The biggest attraction of the game occurred in the third quarter, when the Detroit Pistons, eager to chase the score, put all their chips on Xcel. Van Maniac didn't let his team down, hitting consecutive three-pointers from the outside, making Billups, who was defending him, feel uncomfortable and disgraced.

Seeing his good brother being bullied like this, Lamar was also enraged. Watching his teammates being bullied, Lamar will naturally sit idly by, not to mention that when the opponent bullies the Knicks, Lamar uses the weapon that Lamar is best at.

So a scene more exciting than the All-Star three-point shooting contest happened, Lamar and Axel, two well-known offensive maniacs in the NBA league, started an uncontrolled three-point contest in the next ten minutes.

The two sides with bloodshot heads, one by one, are fighting happily, and no one is willing to take the lead in retreating. After the two men hit eight three-pointers each, Xcel, who was still old and physically exhausted, took the lead in making a mistake.

After losing Axel, a powerful outside attack point, the Detroit Pistons also completely lost hope of a comeback in the subsequent games.

The Knicks saw the opportunity of the Pistons' low morale to beat the Reservoir Dogs, and after another 12-0 attack wave, Larry Brown could only reluctantly announce his surrender.

After this round of competition, the situation of promotion is gradually becoming clear.

The Los Angeles Lakers and the New York Knicks, who hold the match point, are naturally the biggest favorites, while the Timberwolves, who are gradually showing signs of decline, and the Detroit Pistons, who have five Tigers, can only wait for the coming year.
