"You can't play right now."

Donnie Walsh stopped Lee when he asked for an immediate play.

The Detroit Pistons played very tough throughout the third quarter, and the intensity of the physical confrontation was a level higher than before, not only Stephen Marbury fell multiple times in the confrontation. Others like Crawford, Nate Robinson, David Lee, Jeffries, and others have fallen to various degrees, and Crawford even had bruises on his entire left arm.

Add to that the terrifying sound pressure of the home field.

Donnie Walsh was really scared. He doesn't want Lee Jin to take risks on the court, and as Marbury said in the locker room, if Lee Jin is injured in this game that affects his entire career, the Knicks will have a bumpy decade ahead.

As president of the club, he didn't want to take such a risk.

As Donnie Walsh spoke, Stephen Marbury was once again brought down on the breakaway, with Hamilton pushing him in the pinch.

It was a wrong defensive move.

Marbury, who was extremely tired, staggered and fell to the ground.

However, the referee blew the whistle and gave a foul. Let the Pistons who pounce on them like vicious dogs and fight for the ball stop working.

They got up stupidly, with the slightest hint of friendliness, and even questioned the referee's foul on the ball.

Shameless!

Li Zhen gritted his teeth.

Marbury was picked up by Swift, and the power forward, who was sent to New York as an add-on, was outstanding tonight.

Bang!

Marbury's first free throw smashed into the front of the basket and missed.

His depleted fitness is reflected in the intensity of his shots.

But the old horse gritted his teeth and he continued to make free throws...... Swish!

Finally hit the second one.

Narrowed the margin to 71:73.

The Knicks are still trailing by 2 points.

Marbury scored his 15th point of the game with the free throw, while he also had five rebounds and five assists.

"I take my hat off for Marbury's performance tonight, for showing a tenacious fighting will. Without him holding up, the Knicks would likely have trailed by more than double digits tonight. McBrin said emotionally on TV.

"Actually, all the New York players were extremely good tonight. That's why they've been able to bite the bullet all the time. Seriously, we've misunderstood the Knicks so much before, these guys really don't understand defense, and they have a lot of shortcomings that make people laugh. But there's no doubt that they still love basketball. Reggie Miller's words made a very good footnote to this game.

The game continues.

There was 1:01 left in the third quarter.

When the Pistons arrived in a crowd to the frontcourt, the Knicks lineup consisting of Marbury, Jeffries, Balkman, David Lee, and Swift held off their iron hooves with the strongest will.

Their defensive tactics were seen through by Sanders.

It's pure human staring.

Everyone bites their opponents like a pitbull.

The Pistons, despite their well-developed tactics, can face such a stubborn will. In the end, they chose to let Rasheed Wallace play singles with individual strength...... Swish!

Wallace hits the basket with a difficult turnover jumper.

75:71。

The palace of Auburn Hills was boiling.

This is a manifestation of the strength of the Detroit Pistons.

It is also a fact that everyone knows.

But the audience in front of the TV can't help but be moved by the New York Knicks.

As the famous writer Haruki Murakami said: Between a tall, solid wall and an egg that crashes into the wall, I will always stand on the side of the egg.

This is the commonality of human emotions.

But those emotions will never help the brutal situation the Knicks are facing right now.

Stephen Marbury struck again, like an old knight, riding a lean horse and carrying a rusty spear, and once again struck at the walls of the palace in Auburn Hills.

Poof!

The relentless Marbury fell again inside the free-throw line, still under Hamilton's defense.

Hamilton withdrew the stool with Marbury's rapid exertion, leaving Marbury with nothing to rely on, and he lost his center of gravity and had to fall to the ground.

Fortunately, before he fell, he handed the basketball to Balkman, who was in the air. The young sophomore went head-to-head against Rasheed Wallace's tough defense, eventually narrowly throwing the basketball off the fingertips of the roaring celestials...... Swish!

At the same time as the basketball fell to the net, Balkman staggered to the ground and took two steps backwards, but the referee reached out to hold him down.

All the Knicks players are fighting as hard as they can.

"I can't stand here in peace, I'm the leader of this team. Leaders should be at the forefront of the battlefield. ”

Li Zhen told Isaiah Thomas very seriously.

Thomas looked at the timer above his head: 32 seconds left.

"You go back in the fourth quarter." The smiling assassin told Li Zhen.

Li was really anxious, but he could only wait.

The Pistons in the front court were still tightly organized offense and defense, and they pressed the tempo to play the half-court position, constantly running back and forth to cut the line.

The fans also stood up and shouted in unison to cheer for the home team. Beat--NY！

The home field is huge.

After deliberation, the Pistons decided to let Hamilton play alone. At this time, the defender of Hamilton was none other than Stephen Marbury, who is known for his physical prowess, he is the most runner in the NBA for three consecutive seasons, and he seems to have endless physical strength.

Therefore, after receiving the basketball, he directly used his body to rush Marbury's defense.

Marbury was knocked back by him.

The surrounding fans also erupted in mocking laughter, and they looked at Marbury like a monkey being played.

This made Li Zhen even more angry.

Just then, when Hamilton sent Marbury back two steps with a hard dash, he finally gave up and turned to jump...... But at this moment, Marbury, who was knocked behind him, burst out with unexpected power, and he slammed out quickly and violently.

A soccer player punches Hamilton directly into Hamilton's basketball with a leap to save the ball, and the basketball rolls down.

Balkman, who was next to him, saw his eyes and quickly landed on the ground, grabbed the basketball and threw it at Jeffries.

Jeffrees grabbed the basketball and controlled the tempo.

This rugby-like action made Li Zhen both moved, admired and worried, and it was not until Stephen Marbury stood up from the ground through gritted teeth that his heart in his throat settled down a little.

Then, Marbury slowly moved forward with the basketball, he pinned it outside the three-point line, and he used the final 15 seconds to hit a wave of whistle to tie the two-point margin for his team.

But at this time, Li Zhen heard a screeching noise again.

The bastard next door named Johnson was still there to create foul language, and he kept attacking Marbury. Saying that Marbury is a jerk, that he is a judoka, that he should have been punished a long time ago, and that he should not have been mixed in the NBA ......or something.

These egregious accusations made Li Zhen angry.

At this moment, Hamilton suddenly launched a sneak attack on Marbury. He directly locked Marbury's path in an attempt to strangle Marbury in his defense.

However, the moment he flew up, Marbury suddenly jumped over Hamilton with a classic guard crossover, just as he was about to depart.

Hamilton made a surprising move, and he suddenly pushed Marbury covertly. Marbury's footsteps faltered under gravity.

Li Zhen secretly scolded despicable at that time.

But Hamilton bullied him again, he forced Marbury out of the way, making Marbury worse, and fell to the ground, he took the basketball and went straight to the frontcourt.

And jumped up from outside the three-point line and shot the basketball jumper...... Basketball makes a beautiful arc.

After the lights came red behind the rebounds...... Swish!

Basketball hits.

The buzzer-beating shot extended the Pistons' lead to five points.

It also makes Hamilton the hero of the Auburn Hills palace cheering.

Hamilton didn't forget to turn around after the goal and made a throat-cutting motion towards the Knicks bench.

Although the black mask obscured his expression, Li Zhen believed that under this mask must be the ugliest and dirtiest face.

And what made Li Zhen even more angry was that after Marbury, who fell to the ground, stood up, he actually walked and began to twist and twist, and the team doctor hurriedly went over to check on him, cut his sneakers, and his left ankle was already swollen.

Hamilton's push and squeeze allowed Marbury to twist his foot just now.

This bastard!

Li Zhen gritted his teeth and rushed above his head in anger.

He had never been so annoyed with a player.

"Stephen Marbury won't be able to play next." The team doctor told the coaching staff regretfully.

This sentence made the atmosphere of the whole team become low and solemn.

Donnie Nelson said at this point: "In that case, let's give up this game, right?" ”

At that time, Li Zhen's angry gaze swept over fiercely: "Are you crazy?" ”

"Our players managed to get the game here at the risk of injury, and you said we should give up?" Li Zhen is aggressive.

Like the most ferocious beast in the mountains and forests.

makes people dare not think of his previous weak image at all.

But there is no doubt that his words stabilized the morale of the army and made everyone's momentum boil and burn again.

Yes, we've all been beaten like this, and you're telling us to give up? Why?

When the momentum of the players rises.

Isaiah Thomas suddenly understood that he still underestimated Li Zhen. It turned out that he thought that Li Zhen was a perfect academy player, smart and sharp, capable of any tactic. But now, Li Zhen's outburst of gangsterism made him realize that this was a natural leader at all. Under his leadership, this team is bound to be successful.

No, the players have already subtly taken the lead with him.

"Next, let's fight like this......"

The smiling assassin picked up the tactics board, and he began to lay out his tactics.

……

The fourth quarter came faster than expected.

A rapid electronic beep urged players from both sides to play.

Before going on the court, Li Zhen told Crawford, Balkman, Channingfrye and Swift who were following him without hesitation: "We have to give these bastards some color, they don't deserve to win." There's no reason for us to concede victory to these bastards we loathe! ”

His words were blunt and intense.

Ignite the flames of your teammates once and for all.

When the referee blew the whistle, Balkman quickly sent the ball to Li Zhen.

Li Zhen drove forward steadily with the ball, and when he came to the front, it was Delfino standing in front of him.

The Pistons typically rotate their lineup at the start of the fourth quarter.

The line-up was led by Hamilton with Delfino, Lynch Hunt, Antonio McDeyes and Muhammad. After all, Hamilton has plenty of fitness.

Sanders, on the sidelines, was gesturing desperately there, and he asked Delfino to pay attention to defending Lee Zhen's breakthrough.

However, after Li Zhen made a sharp step forward, he stepped back directly, then jumped, and then shot the basketball with great perfection.

Nearly 40 minutes of rest has left him with a fairly good level of fitness at the moment.

Thereupon...... Swish!

The basketball was caught.

The three-point split the gap between the two teams to two points.

What everyone didn't expect was that after Li Zhen scored a goal, he looked at Hamilton indifferently, and then made a murderous throat cutting motion.

This caused boos and abuse from the audience.

However, the New York fans in front of the TV were in a hurry.

"That's right. This is a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye. Reggie Miller emphasized strongly on TV: "That's how Hamilton treated Stephen Marbury just now." ”

"But it's going to be a no-brainer for the Pistons, especially Hamilton. Is it worth it? Bill Wharton said worriedly.

"There's nothing worth it that isn't worth it. Don't you think the current booing and abuse of Bruce Lee at Auburn Hills Palace is not enough? Do you think Hamilton's contempt and hostility towards the Knicks was no less than before? Since he is already an opponent, of course he must resist to the end. At this time, there is no possibility of kindness. Either get killed, or pick your opponent to the tip of your sword and slit your throat! ”

Reggie Miller's statement is very straightforward.

He's now completely on the Knicks' side.

At the same time, Li Zhen has been frantically pursuing Hamilton.

This caught Reggie Miller by surprise. He thinks that Li Zhen will defend Delfino, after all, Hamilton is the most exhausting opponent's physical strength.

"I really didn't expect Bruce Lee to be so ruthless. He's now avenging Stephen Marbury with his actions, and he's not counting his fitness at all. If I were a player like that, and I had a captain like that, I would be dead. Reggie Miller emphasized, earnestly, "The Knicks have picked up the treasure." I have to revise my previous evaluation. Bruce isn't any ordinary All-Star, he's a cornerstone player, a once-in-a-decade cornerstone player. Although he still has problems now, if the Knicks can keep him and trade another superstar, the Knicks will quickly become a strong contender for the championship!! ”

When Reggie Miller babbled. be

The stadium once again blew up the Auburn Hills Palace.

Bruce turned out to be ......

……
