To the frustration of the Detroit Pistons players, Bruce Lee, their number one target for sniping, returned to the bench after helping his team take a six-point lead.

He was replaced by Jamal Crawford.

Although Isaiah Thomas, who had a hangover, was still a little confused, he knew very well that Li Zhen's physical strength was the most important thing. Seeing Li Zhen exhausted at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, he was not only unbearable, but also worried about injury.

Donnie Walsh has been around him more than once to remind him: Bruce is our most important possession.

This made Thomas angrily look back: Don't I know yet?

Crawford's presence made the Knicks' defense even looser, and Hamilton finally escaped from the defensive shadow created by Lee Jin. But... He seems to have been planted with a demon by Li Zhen, and he hit the iron one after another, even Crawford couldn't even touch his jersey.

The Pistons are gradually regaining the initiative and slowly shrinking the score.

The audience became domineering again.

Not only all kinds of shouting slogans, but also all kinds of personal attacks on the Knicks' players.

The Knicks, for their part, could only rely on Stephen Marbury to storm the box again and again to cause damage, and the veteran horse, who was past his prime, earned the respect of all the New York fans in front of the TV in this game.

He used his performance in these three months to completely change his old image.

"You can't even believe that Stephen Marbury has become the anchor of the Knicks!!"

Reggie Miller lamented on TV.

Last year, he didn't taunt Lao Ma a lot. But now, he gives the highest respect.

Bang!

With Marbury once again being knocked to the ground by Rasheed Wallace's tough defense in the depths of the box, even Bill Wharton was gasping.

"He's done his best."

McBlin said movingly.

Like David, the shepherd boy of Goliath facing the giants, he has no fear.

However, the fans at the scene actually scolded him very badly, and the big strong fan who attacked Li Zhen before actually yelled rudely after the referee fouled Rachid Wallace: "Why did you give that dog food to raise the foul?" That guy who eats Vaseline on the stream is a gay, and he's deliberately harassing our Rasheed Wallace......"

His statement actually caused a chorus of echoes from the surrounding fans.

At Auburn Hills Palace, the home fans are no different from the mobs.

Li Zhen's face was very angry, and he stood up several times and glared at the fan. But that guy even gave Li Zhen the middle finger and shouted: Go back to your China, you fluffy yellow-skinned monkey!

Such statements are endless.

Duan Pingdu exploded in anger.

Li Zhen asked Isaiah Thomas to fight several times.

However, Thomas did not have a license.

He hoped that Li Zhen would rest for a while.

Fortunately, at this time, Jamal Crawford finally found his touch.

After Hamilton completed a layup, he returned to the halfcourt with a three-pointer.

This golden three-point stabilized the situation of the Knicks, but the Pistons' defense of Crawford became tougher and tougher, even dirty, and Hamilton, the man with the mask, was like being blinded by lard, and he was up and down Crawford, scratching all kinds of elbows, trying to destroy Crawford's hand.

This is all too common in the NBA.

Frustratingly, they do these defenses almost reflexively, even without malice.

Make it very difficult for the system to catch them and grab their talents.

When Li Zhen was on the court, he was scratched by Hamilton a few times.

However, this did not affect Li Zhen's actions.

Crawford, on the other hand, was still affected by the fact that he was close to convulsions, but he was never able to produce consistently.

Fortunately, the Detroit Pistons didn't have a high shooting percentage.

At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks led by two points at 23:22.

"That's the real playoffs." Bill Wharton lamented during the interck: "The Pistons can make the opponent's shooting percentage drop through all kinds of tough defense when their shooting percentage is not high." It's very disgusting, but it works. That's probably why David Stern changed the rules to encourage offense more and more. The Pistons vs. Spurs will always have the ability to make the game ugly! ”

When the camera swept over the Knicks' bench, Stephen Marbury, who had played a full quarter, was already gasping for breath, and age prevented him from playing the full court as easily as he did when he was younger, not to mention that he was facing the Pistons.

"Next, you don't play."

Li Zhen told Marbury: "You have a good rest for a while. ”

Then, he told Isaiah Thomas: "I have to play, and as the leader of the team, I can't let Stephen fight for me." This is my responsibility. ”

Li Zhen's first tough self-proclaimed leader.

But this sentence touched all the players.

No one finds it abrupt because he is the leader.

And what everyone felt touched was that Bruce was so brave to take responsibility.

Although Donnie Walsh has been eyeing Isaiah Thomas, meaning that he should not be replaced by Li Zhen.

But Thomas didn't listen.

Thomas wasn't a good coach, but he was a man of morality and a great leader.

He could understand Li Zhen's feelings.

However, he announced that Li Zhen was on the battlefield.

And, equip him with a pure run-and-gun offensive lineup of Crawford, Quentin Richardson, David Lee, and Swift.

There is no justification for such a tactical arrangement.

The smiling assassin is a lonely man: since the Pistons want to play the ultimate defense, then let's play the ultimate offense!

Backbite!

The whistle blew and the game quickly resumed.

The Pistons also made substitutions, swapping small forward for Mark Hill and shooting guard for Delfino.

They also had to let the main team rest, after all, Hamilton was an iron man, but he also ran the whole game.

What made Lee really happy was that Chris Webber didn't take a break.

And, the more joyful thing is...... As soon as the game began, there was a fierce physical collision with Chris Webber...... Hey!
