On May 15, the Boston District Court finally reached a conclusion in the civil case concerning Fox Leon for injuring Frank. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info acquitted Fox Leon after a unanimous jury vote and no civil damages were required against Frank.

And because of James Barger's arrest, Frank will face multiple murder, drug trafficking, and kidnapping charges, including the murder of Leon's father, Matthews.

Leon was finally freed from this incident, not only getting rid of the huge compensation, but also sending his father's murderer to prison. At the same time, his probation period has expired, he no longer needs to go to the police station to file a record, and he has regained his freedom to fly around the country as he used to.

"How does it feel to be a free citizen again?" Danny Angie, who greeted Leon at the door of the courtroom, asked Leon as he walked out.

"I wish the holidays would come sooner!" Leon said with a sigh of relief, and he got into the car with Angie and the lawyer, ready to leave for a drink at a nearby bar.

The Celtics were given nearly a week off before the Eastern Conference Finals began, as the Indiana Pacers and Detroit Pistons were locked in a near-brutal grind in the semifinals.

On May 14, the two sides played a decisive battle of Kings Mountain in Indiana, and the Pistons relied on Prince's key block on the road to fan Miller's possible layup, thus helping the Pistons beat their opponents 81-77 on the road, leading 3-2 and one step away from the Eastern Conference finals.

"Pistons or Pacers, which opponent do you want to play more?" In the bar, the three of them did not choose a private room, but found a secluded corner to drink and chat slowly. Attorney Eze asked a very unnutritious question.

Angie thinks this must be another good opportunity for Leon to pretend, this guy will say that any one is the same, anyway, it's 4:0.

Unexpectedly, Leon shook his wine glass and thought for a while before saying: "I still want to play against the Detroiters, although it is a little boring to play against an opponent who has played the same for three years in a row, but the chances of winning against the Pistons will be greater." ”

"It's rare to see in a hundred years, and Fox Leon will also pick an opponent." Angie said with a bit of sarcasm that in recent years, Leon has created an image of himself and Celtic in the media, and it is rare to be so cautious.

Leon glanced at Angie, this guy likes to raise the bar with himself more and more.

"The Pacers have a bit more talent on the roster, especially since they have Jackson, and I didn't expect them to get this guy in the summer, it really scared me. But O'Brien wouldn't be able to use this man, otherwise he would be more of a problem. However, O'Brien still has a routine against us, after all, he has been here for more than two years, and Vogel is here. And if you look at it one-on-one, the Pacers don't suffer too much at each position, and it will be a tough bone to gnaw. As for the Pistons, I'm telling you Danny, Larry Brown's team can't beat me. After saying that, Leon drank all the gin in the glass, and a hot sensation went down his throat to his stomach, and the warmth filled his body.

Angie didn't say anything more, and shifted the conversation to some life issues. For basketball, at this stage, he chose to trust Fox Leon unconditionally. Countless guys who wanted to see Leon and Celtic jokes in the first two rounds have closed their mouths, and of course this is not convincing everyone. After all, due to the strength of the opponent, the sweep of the first two rounds in the NBA is not a great result, and the division finals are a great test.

………………

A day later, the Detroit Pistons-Indiana Pacers game was played at the Palace Arena in Auburn Hills, the sixth game of the series, and the Pistons were one step away from the division finals.

The Pacers match up has allowed Rasheed Wallace to fit into the team system thoroughly, and the Pistons are at their best overall. The pain of the slaughter in the final game of the regular season has long been forgotten, and now they are only thinking about making it to the division finals.

But the Pacers were not deterred by 2:3, coupled with the disadvantage of playing on the road, this year is undoubtedly a year of rise for the Pacers, the ageless Miller, the strong outburst of Jermaine O'Neal, the Fireline joined Stephen Jackson, the more mature Ron Artest, plus the Celtics' former ministers O'Brien and Vogel, the entire Pacers have strong combat power and willpower.

As a result, Game 6 was extremely intense, with the two sides going into a strangulation battle from the first quarter, with two defensive teams falling into the mud and engaging in hand-to-hand combat. In the first 3 minutes of the game, the two sides did not score a point.

It wasn't until three minutes and eighteen seconds into the game that Billups broke through and caused O'Neal Jr. to foul and hit the first free throw at the free throw line.

In the first quarter, the score was 17:15 on both sides, and the Pistons led by 2 points.

In the second quarter, the two sides were tied at 35:35, and the two teams combined for a total of 70 points in the first half.

The intensity of the game reached a fever pitch in the third quarter, with the two sides getting bigger and bigger, with Artest grabbing a frontcourt rebound and a layup blocked by Ben Wallace on an offensive run, and a physical altercation broke out after the two landed, and Big Ben pushed Artest away. The referee immediately called a halt to the match, and Artest almost rushed up to scuffle with Wallace, but was held back by his teammates.

Ben Wallace received a technical foul as a result, and it was the referee who didn't get sent off for his actions.

The referee then blew several fouls in a row to allow the players on both sides to gradually calm down and return to the game. In the quarter, the Pistons scored 11 points and the Pacers scored 12. Due to the fierce physical confrontation, both sides were not allowed to make free throws, and a large number of two free throws appeared in one or even two misses.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the main players on both sides were fouled many times, and the two sides became more cautious, and it became more difficult to score.

With 59 seconds left in the game, the Pistons hit a mid-range jumper from Hamilton to tie the score at 61:56 and lead the Pacers by five points, the largest margin of the game.

The walker called a timeout, a crucial timeout.

After returning, Reggie Miller, who was uncomfortable with the Pistons' tough defense, hit a three-point shot around the bottom corner to rewrite the score to 61:59.

Billups then returned to color in the attack, he crushed Tinsley with his back, then rolled over and stepped back to hit a mid-range shot to open up the margin again.

But just 7 seconds later, Miller ran around again, went to his favorite position at 45 degrees on the left side to catch the ball and hit another three-point shot, 63:62, and the difference was narrowed to 1 point!

With 26 seconds left before the end of the game, the Pistons called a timeout.

There was a long timeout, and then Billups was after that, and this time he was very clever enough to use the breakaway to shake O'Neal Jr., and then leaned in to cause O'Neal to foul, which not only allowed O'Neal to be sent off for six fouls, but also stood at the free throw line.

Billups hit one of two free throws, and everyone's hearts hung in the Auburn Hills Palace, because the two-point lead was not safe at all.

The Pacers called a timeout to set up their tactics, and before the ball could be sent at the end of the timeout, O'Brien called another timeout, which was their last timeout in regulation time.

Larry Bird, who was sitting behind the bench, stood up, shouted something at the players, and then sat down again, looking very calm.

With 3 seconds left, Billups was able to spend the time accurately.

At the end of the timeout, Tinsley served on the sideline, with Reggie Miller being the focus of attention, but the Pacers made a high three-man screen, and Foster, Atay and Jackson blocked Miller. The three's blocks and runs finally squeezed a small gap for Miller, and Tinsley passed the ball into Miller's hands.

The knife fell in his hand, Reggie Miller was not old, 45 degrees on the right side, the same position as just now, and shot a three-pointer!

As the three-point shot sounded, the buzzer sounded at the end of the game, and the Pacers relied on Miller's magical three three-pointers at the last minute at the Auburn Hills Palace Arena to bring the big score to a 3:3 draw!

Two days later, at Indiana's Conseco Arena, the Pacers relied on Stephen Jackson's 30-point play to win the decisive tie-break 89-81 at home, and reached the Eastern Conference Finals in two consecutive games from a 2-3 deficit, just four years after they last reached the Eastern Conference Finals.
