"Boy, you'd better settle down!" Rashid Wallace walked over and blocked his brother, pushing Dampotter away, "My people are not bullied by anyone!"

Dampoter tried to fight again, but Lamar pulled him away: "Alright! It's game time. ”

Seeing that Lamar didn't want to delve into it, the referee was also a little relieved and beckoned Lamar to hurry up and take a free throw.

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

With both free throws, the score was again reduced to five points.

However, the Knicks did not breathe a sigh of relief, and the Detroit Pistons hit another mid-range shot by Rasheed Wallace, and the score was pulled away again.

Lamar attacked again, drew the bag and then made a basket to Mbot, who didn't play any more tricks this time and honestly put the ball in the basket.

Looking back, Prince's breakaway layup still firmly fixed the score gap at the 7-point range, so that the Knicks could not save.

The two sides went back and forth, and after a few more rounds, the Detroit Pistons couldn't pull the score away, and the Knicks couldn't catch up, and there seemed to be a wonderful balance between the two sides.

Finally, near the end of the first half, Arenas, who had been honest for a while, fainted again. He juggled the ball and threw it directly on Dampoter's calf, and was about to go out of bounds, but Prince jumped to hook the ball back and threw it to Xcel.

Xcel dribbles the ball down quickly. If this goal is scored again, the score gap between the two sides will be further widened, and the Knicks will really not play well in the second half.

At that time, in order to keep the fruits of victory, the Detroit Pistons will definitely come up with their best defensive strategy, and it will not be easy for the Knicks to turn the tables.

Thinking of this, Lamar hurriedly chased after him, and the two of them jumped up almost at the same time. At the moment when the basketball was about to be put into the hoop by Xcel, Lamar waved his arm and slapped the ball down, and the red light at the end of the first half came on.

"It's okay!" Lamar breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the red light on.

The first half was 56-49, and the seven-point gap looked really hard to shake.

You must know that the Knicks are sitting on their home court tonight, and only scoring 40 points in the first half of the game is also an uncommon thing for the Knicks, a team whose offense is already so strong that it is feared.

In the Knicks' locker room, it looks a little dull at the moment. Dr. Smith has just arrived, Billups' wound has been treated, and although it will not affect the next game, this game will definitely not be available. Billups' injury to his eyebrow bone was not severe, but he was slapped hard by Rasheed Wallace and caused a slight concussion.

The team's backwardness, coupled with the lack of a primary point guard, has left the Knicks' players feeling like their future is being clouded. As long as you are an athlete, there is no one who does not like honor.

The Knicks have missed out on the previous two seasons, and everything is fine for the team this season, especially before the playoffs begin, the return of suspended and injured people has given them hope of winning the championship, but now 。。。。。。

In the past, it was time for the two living treasures, Dhampot and Arenas, to perform, but now even these two are silent.

Dampotter had a terrible first half, scoring seven points on the offensive end but was completely blown out by Rasheed Wallace on the defensive end. The Haitian not only allowed his opponent to score 18 points, but also sent three fouls, making Van Gundy's lineup in the second half a little difficult.

As for Arenas, it was even worse! In an environment where the whole team was not playing so smoothly, the scoring machine, which was more accustomed to stealing points on the bench, not only did not score a point in 11 minutes of playing time, but also made four turnovers.

There were fewer people in the locker room to adjust the atmosphere, and it looked a lot duller, and the Knicks players looked like they were on a wake.

Van Gundy leaned on the sidelines of the goal and watched his players, wondering if it was time to stand up and criticize the players' performance in the first half. Although he also thinks that the team's performance in the first half was terrible, the real reason is that the team has been restrained by the Detroit Pistons in all aspects, and the usual strength has not been used at all.

"Are you discouraged now?" Van Gundy hesitated for a while but then stepped up, knowing full well that the team must find a way to change the situation on the court now, and if the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals is lost, the rest of the game will not be good. Both teams are top-notch, and whoever takes the lead at this time will be invincible.

The thought of this Van Gundy's temper also came up. He didn't want nothing in his career.

"Boys, now our situation is not so bad that there is no way to recover, we have to find a way to change our current situation, this is urgent!" Van Gundy said and looked at Lamar involuntarily, in fact, what he hopes most now is that Lamar can stand up and lead the team to victory as before, but looking at Lamar's appearance, it seems that Lamar is also in trouble in this game.

Lamar is indeed in trouble, and the strength of the five tiger generals has far exceeded his expectations. He can't think of any good way to restrain the Pistons Five Tigers right now.

There are only a few people on the Knicks' side, and with Dampoter's current strength, he is no match for Rasheed Wallace. Lamar himself was able to restrain Ben Wallace, but at best he was able to achieve a balanced situation. As for Xcel, there's really no way around it. The veteran shooter has reached the point of perfection in all aspects of his skills, and with Billups not there, it will be difficult for Arenas to keep him at bay.

I really can't think of any good way to restrain the other party, and Lamar is also at a loss. Of course, they can wait for the Pistons to reach a certain level of physical exhaustion before counterattacking, or wait for them to take it lightly, but the Detroiters, who are already hungry for victory and championships, will never give them any chance.

Even if the physical exertion is extremely severe, the piston will grit its teeth and persevere. No one wants nothing in their career, which is why Barkley became a vagabond at the end of his career, and why Malone will stay on the court until he is forty. It's a pity that neither of them succeeded!

Lamar believes the Pistons are definitely not willing to go into their careers empty-handed.

Van Gundy's speech didn't have the desired effect, and the pause was over.

Lamar walked up to Van Gundy and patted him on the shoulder: "It's okay! ”

At the beginning of the second half, Lamar took advantage of the opportunity to hit a three-pointer as soon as he came up, but soon Axel also pierced the Knicks' defense with an equally accurate three-pointer.

At this time, Arenas, who was in charge of the defense, didn't even react at all. It's really hard to play against an attacking maniac like Axel, because you can't predict when he's going to shoot, let alone at that point.

"Looks like these old guys really want to bloodbath Madison tonight!"

Lamar smiled helplessly, but the desire to fight on his face was noticeably hotter. Lamar has always been strong when he is strong, and only playing against such a strong team will he feel stimulated. What's the point of winning even more if you keep fighting against those fish belly who have no fighting spirit and no courage?

"Don't underestimate me!" Lamar took two deep breaths, ready for battle.

As the captain of the team, he should not let it go at this time, even if the opponent is strong, it is absolutely wishful thinking to make Lamar admit defeat before the game is over.

Waving, Lamar took the ball in his hands.

Seeing Lamar's actions, Van Gundy's gaze suddenly changed. He already sensed that Lamar was ready to make a move, which gave him a little more confidence in this match. In his opinion, as long as Lamar starts playing, there is nothing to worry about.

Lamar did play, and when he went up again, he was a meter away from the three-point line.

Lamar's abrupt move left Ben Wallace, who was defending him, without even a chance to react.

The basketball hit steadily, and the score was narrowed down to 6 points. That's already an acceptable range, and six points isn't a problem at all for a player like Lamar or for a team like the Knicks.

But Lamar forgets that today's opponent is not the same fish belly troops he has encountered in the past, but the Detroit Pistons, who have five Tigers, and are the Detroit Pistons with the best defense in the league this season.

As soon as Lamar's three-pointer hit, Prince received a pass from Rasheed Wallace and hit a three-pointer as well. Battier, who was in charge of defending him, was blocked by Ben Wallace, and after switching defenses, Damppoter's follow-up was a little slow and couldn't stop Prince.

Lamar attacked again, this time with a layup for the Detroit Pistons, a layup and a foul on Rasheed Wallace. After the free throw was hit, the margin was once again six points.

But Lamar's efforts have not been solidified.

Perhaps the temptation of the championship has overcome the passage of time, and Xcel, who has been fighting for 27 minutes in a row, does not see a trace of fatigue on his body, and he is still alive. Even though he was already very tired and his physical strength was consumed quite severely, he still gritted his teeth and insisted for the championship, not daring to relax at all.

Rasheed Wallace's pick-and-roll, Excel's lateral movement to shake off the defense and then hit the basket again, a nine-point gap.
