In fact, the range of the two interior lines is zero, and the Knicks can still play some routines, but as everyone fears, it is too easy to target.

In addition, Bowen is okay with an open three-pointer, and it is not realistic to expect him to pick up the scoring burden under NBA-level defense, and 19-year-old rookie Stephen Jackson, although somewhat adapted to the league, is still inconsistent. Charlie Ward is a good guy, but unfortunately he is too short to force a score against defense.

So in the next few rounds, the Knicks continued to perform poorly on offense, hitting iron and making mistakes in a row, and the only two points they scored were scored by Stephen Jackson's brainless singles.

The Pistons, on their side, also had a terrible offense. Grant Hill was on the floor in the first quarter, and neither of them was able to score much, let alone the man who was there.

After you finish playing iron, I will hit iron, and ordinary fans will be very entangled when they see such a game, but Knicks fans will not. From Pat Riley taking over the team to Van Gundy's resignation, basketball in New York has always been that style!

I'm not afraid that if I don't score, I'm afraid that you will score!

The fans began to applaud the defense of both sides, and every shot was accompanied by a round of applause!

Mike Brin sighed: "In this game, Coach Lee is determined to use the bench to fight with the Pistons to defend!" ”

Fraser said: "Don't say it, I also like this style, especially the defensive battle between Charlie Ward and Lynch Hunter, the two little men, it's so interesting." ”

Mike Brin said: "It reminds me of the showdown with Black Pearl Earl Monroe? ”

"That's right, you know my nickname because I like to defend," Fraser said. ”

Mike Brin said: "You've been named to the All-Defensive Team for seven years in a row, and I think the one who looks like you the most in the league right now is Gary Payton!" ”

Fraser said, "yes, haha! It's really interesting to say, when Lynch Hunter was drafted, the media agreed that he was relatively short and could become a defensive colander, but after entering the league, under the leadership of Dumas, the defense is getting better day by day! ”

Mike Brin said: "Speaking of which, Lynch Hunter's draft pick is still ahead of Alan Houston!" ”

Fraser said: "yes, in '93 they drafted Lynch Hunter with the 10th pick, and Alan Houston was the 11th pick!" ”

Mike Brin said: "Both of these people were brought up by the Pistons, but Dumas is a little old, if he could be a few years younger, he would never be so iron-clad by Bowen!" ”

While the two were talking, Dumas hit another shot, and the MSG fans applauded in unison!

Bowen wiped his sweat and ran forward with an innocent face, no one noticing the small movements he had just made when he was defending.

Seeing this, Li Wei nodded secretly beside him.

The reason why he kept putting Garnett and Houston on the bench was, of course, to give them energy for tomorrow's back-to-back games. As long as the substitutes can hold on, there is no need to rush to make substitutions.

In the final five minutes of the second quarter, the Pistons' Grant Hill returned to the game, and Li Wei also replaced Garnett and Jeff Hornacek to rest Charlie Ward and Beau Outlaw.

The Knicks' current lineup on the court is, of course, Garnett playing power forward.

The Pistons' big forward Ratliff is 2.08 meters tall, weighs only 102 kilograms, and is a defensive player, Garnett is tall and has long arms, and he can still guard him.

As soon as Hill came on the court, he passed Bowen in one step and then burst to the basket!

It's not Bowen's problem, it's Hill in this era that no player can defend against at all!

Now he has not suffered an injury, is the league's No. 1 small forward, has the best change of direction skills and first step!

After Bowen's defensive skills were completed in his previous life, he couldn't lock Kobe and Maddy, and now he has just begun to transform into a big gate, and of course he can't lock up Hill who is in full swing!

Garnett saw that Hill had been passed by, and hurried over to make up for it. Didn't Hill see him coming, and a ground-hitting pass stuffed the ball into Ratliffe!

"Beautiful pass!" Fraser shouted.

Mike Brin said: "That's what sets Hill apart, he's not only scored, he's got a good vision of the ball, he's very selfless. ”

Before the two commentators could finish speaking, Ratliff jumped high and smashed the ball into the basket!

Garnett, who was defending him, went to make up for Hill, and there seemed to be no one left to stop him!

However, just as he was about to dunk in, a big hand flew the ball away!

The owner of that big hand is none other than Ben Wallace!

Madison Square Garden is cheering for Ben!

Mike Brin said: "Big Ben's cap is good! ”

Fraser said: "The point is that he is too fast to change positions in this defense, and he was just defending last year's Bulls' championship center on the right side, and in the blink of an eye, he flew over and took the ratlief hat!" ”

Ratliff rushed to the side and yelled at the referee, "He's got the ball in my hand!" You see, my hands are red! ”

The referee blinked and ignored him.

This is the home stadium of New York, and if the home team foul is blown that is not too obvious, it is strange that the home fans don't boo him to death!

The home fans did start booing too, they were booing Ratliff complaining to the referee!

Spike Lee, the big director on the sidelines, even stood up and scolded: "Ratliff, you are like a, you refuse to admit it if you are ridiculed!" ”

To make matters worse, by the time Ratliff asked the referee for an explanation, the Knicks had already made a quick run to the frontcourt.

The other players of the Pistons also returned to the defense in time, and there was no chance under the basket!

However, the Knicks quickly passed the ball outside, and Jeff Hornacek received the ball and shot it with a three-point shot!

This kind of three-point is one of the Knicks' regular run-and-gun tactics, and the ball draws a beautiful arc and falls into the basket!

"Bang Bang! Entered! Mike Brin shouted, "Hornacek is really accurate!" ”

"Let me see the score, 26:32, oh, it's 26:35, and we're almost 10 points ahead!" ”

Mike Brin said: "I just hope that Coach Lee doesn't replace our main team, and the only person who can stop the Knicks from rising is Coach Lee." ”

Fraser smiled: "Hahaha, I don't know if he heard you now!" ”

Mike Brin said: "I guess he must have heard, Coach Lee, don't change people!" ”

Li Wei did not make any more substitutions, but let Garnett, Houston and others finish the quarter.

However, the wave that New York fans were expecting didn't happen, as the Pistons also started scoring!

Under Grant Hill's combing, the game between the Knicks and the Pistons gradually changed from mutual defense to mutual offense, and several rounds were evenly matched!
