Chapter 710

Compared with Van Exel, Rashid is not younger, and seeing Van Exel's situation is inevitably a bit sad and sad! You must know that a veteran like them will become a victim of the team's rebuilding process. Former Patrick Ewing, Big Dream Olajuwon as well.

"Is it true that our time is coming to an end?"

Rahi Wallace whispered, his heart full of unwillingness! He didn't want to be swept away by the team or sit on the bench now, and he didn't want to go to another team at this age to live on a veteran contract. He's not old yet! given time, he can still defend the territory below the blue circle as he used to, and he can shoot four or five three-pointers per game.

Although there is a lot of unwillingness in his heart, but the facts are in front of him, and there are some things that Rashid Wallace just doesn't want to admit and can't do anything.

Now that Van Exel is really a bit old, the Pistons should catch a few big fish in the free agent transfer market this summer and also build their own luxury roster to fight against the Knicks.

Just because of Larry Brown's words, the Pistons had no morale before they actually stepped onto the court in Madison. This game has also become a passing scene for them, and now they should be thinking more about what the Pistons will do after the summer!

At 8 o'clock in the evening EST, the fourth game of the Eastern Conference Finals between the New York Knicks and the Detroit Pistons officially began.

In this game, Van Gundy hid two main players, sending the starting lineup of center Dampote, power forward Lamar Odom, small forward Sean Battier, scoring guard Arenas, and point guard Chaun Billups.

It's still the same with the Pistons, and it seems that Larry Brown doesn't want to give up easily. It's just that only he knows that this arrangement is just because he wants to save the last trace of face of the pistons. Larry Brown could accept being swept, but he didn't want his team to die too ugly.

In the scrum tonight, the Haitians easily beat the absent-minded Ben Wallace. Judging from the video footage at the scene, it seems that Ben Wallace did not jump at all.

After Lamar pressed the ball, he did not rush to attack, but waved his hand.

After the Knicks players got the signal, they quickly pulled the line and rushed to the Pistons' half-up. They all knew that Lamar didn't want to play by himself, and the players naturally didn't miss the opportunity to show their strength, and they ran hard to try to make their chances look better.

Lamar slowly dribbled the basketball sideways. Looking at Ben Wallace, whose defensive quality was obviously several levels weaker than Qian San's game, Lamar defiantly made several crotch dribbles in a row.

It's a pity that Ben Wallace is indifferent, it's not that Big Ben's defensive strength has really reached the point of static braking, but he really doesn't want to move.

Lamar rolled his eyes in annoyance, and suddenly raised his hand and threw the basketball inside.

This time Ben Wallace moved, almost subconsciously stretched out his hand, but it was only air that was caught.

The Haitian, who got the ball on the inside, wanted to pass the ball as a stop, but suddenly felt that the pressure behind him was not very great. He could feel that it was Rashid Wallace who was defending behind him, and he seemed a little absent-minded.

By this time, Dampot just didn't want to attack. The Haitian seized the opportunity to hunch over and dribble twice in the back, and after sensing that Rasheed Wallace was not using all his strength, he immediately used the blue foot he had recently learned to dove towards Rasheed Wallace in succession.

Now Rashid Wallace was enraged! He was a little distracted just now, but he didn't expect to be beaten twice by the Haitians as a guinea pig for experiments. This made him feel humiliated, and he shouted at the top of his voice: "Boy, don't be too arrogant!"

Just when Dampoter felt the time was ripe to turn around and make a small hook, Rashid Wallace suddenly jumped up and slapped the basketball with both arms.

Rasheed Wallace is strong right now, but his defensive moves are flawed in Dampoter's eyes. Obviously, the demoralized and slightly impatient mentality of Rasheed Wallace is now unable to play even half of his usual strength.

At this time, he was just bluffing and waving his fetal arms to scare people.

Seeing this, Dampoter handed the basketball to his left hand and gently hooked it. The basketball spared Rasheed Wallace's body, crossed a small arc, and fell into the Nets.

The Pistons weren't upset either. The whole team still looked lifeless.

The absent-spirited Rasheed Wallace quickly sent out the basketball, and it was at this point that Lamar suddenly came out and cut off Rasheed Wallace's pass before Van Exel could catch the ball.

The Pistons' performance just now angered Lamar. The Pistons' negative attitude made Lamar feel insulted.

Lamar let out a loud shout after breaking the ball, and jumped up to dunk. At this time, the confused Rasheed Wallace finally came to his senses, roared and jumped up to cover Lamar's basketball.

It's not that easy to block Lamar. Lamar was like a helicopter, moving from one end of the basketball hoop to the other, and then spun half of his body in the air before smashing the basketball into the blue basket with his backhand.

"Bang!"

At the same time as the basketball went into the basket, Lamar also knocked Rasheed Wallace into the air.

Lamar landed and glared at Rashid Wallace, who was still lying on the ground, and said disdainfully: "Coward! Your time has long passed, and the next era belongs to me!"

Lamar's domineering image was captured by the camera behind the basketball hoop, and even the supporting character Rasheed Wallace's face was distorted by fear, atmosphere, and despair.

Soon this picture was put on the big screen of the scene, which immediately caused a burst of exclamations from people. It looked like a Hollywood blockbuster, and it was shocking.

Lamar turned to leave, and Van Exel walked up to Rashid Wallace, reached out and pulled him up, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Rashid! Actually, Lamar is right, the era that belongs to us is long over, probably from the moment this guy traveled east to Madison." Civilian stars like us are not destined to dominate the league!"

"But even if it's really going to end, after this game! don't let that little sprout underestimate us, show our courage to fight with them. ”

Rasheed Wallace was stunned for a moment, then laughed. Anyway, it has come to this point, no matter how bad it is, how bad can it be? Fight it! Even if it is swept today, there is no regret. At least I worked hard before I was swept away, and it's a joy to say no matter what.

Thinking of this, Rashid Wallace laughed and said, "That's right! Old fellow, pass me the ball, that Haitian fool just got two points on my head, and I'm going to give him back anyway!"

Seeing that Rashid Wallace had returned to his previous domineering, Van Exel was also overjoyed. While he didn't expect much from a victory, he at least let Lamar know that the Detroiters don't lack the courage to fight to the death, especially when they're cornered.

When the Pistons were on offense, Van Exel's feeling was noticeably different. It seems that the once passionate and fearless Fan Maniac is back on the court.

Although Nebilups tried his best to interfere, he was useless in the face of Van Exel, who had a terrible style of play. can only keep retreating, inch by inch slowly losing their territory.

Just after half-time, Van Axel passed the ball directly to Rasheed Wallace near the penalty line.

As soon as the roaring Tianzun received the basketball, the momentum on his body suddenly lifted, making Lamar, who was defending behind him, tremble, and involuntarily took a step back.

Feeling the pressure behind him disappear without a trace, Rasheed Wallace immediately seized the opportunity and turned around to make a mid-range shot.

"Huh!"

Basketball goes into the net, 4:2!

The Pistons pulled back two points, and when Rasheed Wallace landed, he didn't forget to glance at Lamar, which meant as if to say "But that's it!"

"Lamar!"

For Lamar's defense just now, Jeff Van Gundy looked very unhappy.

The reason why Van Gundy arranged Lamar to mark Rasheed Wallace in this game is to let Lamar try his hand with Rashid before the finals, you must know that after the Knicks enter the finals, the opponent's interior line is very strong!

"Be tough, don't be afraid of him!

Lamar also seemed a little embarrassed, nodded silently, and ran towards the Pistons' half.

The Knicks tee off, and Billups' dribbling skills aren't very fancy, but they win with solidity and quick reactions.

The basketball was actually brought to the free throw line by Billups, such a good opportunity, if he didn't score, his head would definitely be in the water today!

Billups certainly didn't waste such an opportunity, making a quick stop to open up the distance between him and Van Exel, before throwing the ball to the basket.

"Bang!"

It's a pity that Chauncey Billups seems to have an accident with the goal he is aiming for!

The shot missed, and the bottom of the basket immediately became a mess. Everyone's eyes were on the basketball that was bouncing high, ready to jump and scramble for rebounds.

But someone was clearly faster than them, as if they were flying from outer space, and Lamar suddenly flew over people's heads, grabbed the basketball with both hands, and suddenly slammed the ball into the basket with both arms at the waist.
