The Knicks' defense is clear, Ben Wallace's lack of offensive power will be completely blocked, and if he gets a good opportunity under the basket, he will not hesitate to foul, and this one is not as good as O'Neal's free throw shooting percentage. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Rasheed Wallace is trying to prevent him from hitting three-pointers, and now Rasheed Wallace prefers long-range shots, and only his mouth maintains the same intensity as when he was younger, his strength has undoubtedly declined, and Channing Frye can reduce his efficiency.

When Hamilton was not replaced, Lehi's responsibility was to seal Prince.

For Prince, who is not very breakthrough in all aspects of offense and relies more on the outside players of strong teams, Lehi has a way.

And Hamilton, when Lehi is not marked, he is a substitute when he encounters cover, trying not to give him a chance to vacate, the Knicks can defend other players except for the center position, and when Eddie Curry is not there, all five positions are in the rotation.

Hamilton and Billups can only be as limited as possible, and they certainly can't be completely blocked.

Like this game, Billups increases his personal offense, and the Knicks want to see it, and the Pistons are definitely not as good as the Knicks compared to their individual offense.

As long as Billups is severed from his teammates, even if he gets a high score, he will not be effective.

After the Knicks took the lead, they played their strongest defense.

Rasheed Wallace forced a few shots on the inside, but his power was still superior, and there was not much he could do to lean back to Channing Frye with his familiar straight arm rollover, but his shooting percentage was not as stable as it had been a few years ago and could not form a lethal threat.

No matter what the Pistons tried, the Knicks were always able to hold the advantage in their hands.

They can't solve the Knicks' outside firepower at all, if the defense is expanded too much, Eddie Curry can also score inside, and now the Knicks don't need Eddie Curry to play for a long time, they just need him to play efficiently, and with the support of strong firepower from the outside, Eddie Curry, who has experienced the playoffs for the first time, is still comfortable playing.

The Pistons clearly can't find a balance between offense and defense, and their approach is already well known to others, let alone the Knicks coached by Larry Brown.

They don't have enough stars to step up and cause new problems for their opponents, which is why they play so hard.

Billups tried to do just that, but it was clear that he was only fit to be Mr. Key, not a hitter.

If it weren't for Antonio McDyce regaining his touch during the rotation, the Pistons would have been a little overwhelmed in the third quarter.

In the final quarter, Crawford hit another three-pointer in the opening period, and the score of the two sides further widened.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Billups played early before he rested for 1 minute, if you want to talk about strength, Billups definitely has it, he hit three points with a strong shot, and suddenly became Arenas's offensive style of play.

The current Pistons are completely hanging on Billups, but Billups didn't do that.

Seeing that Hamilton's threat was reduced after the lack of support, the Knicks did not let Lehi switch defenses, allowing him to focus more on offense.

Prince was undoubtedly a good defender, but he met James first and then Lehi, both of whom were superior to him in speed and power, making his individual defense seriously challenged.

As soon as Lehi activated, Prince's long arm was likely to be useless, and this was Lehi's best move, squeezing through defenders with speed and power to make mid-range shots.

But what's even more troubling is that on the offensive side, few defenders have been so tight against Prince, and after a few times when Lehi interfered with him and missed shots, Prince barely made a move.

With about five minutes left in the game, Billups hit two more three-pointers to help the Pistons close the gap to five points, but then Lehi hit a three-pointer and the Knicks hit another beautiful counterattack to stretch the score to 10 again.

It's a microcosm of the whole game, and no matter how hard Billups tries he is, he always feels a little bit worse.

At the 3:13 mark, the Pistons replaced Ben Wallace with an offensive last-ditch effort.

Billups then hit another three-pointer to give the Pistons a glimmer of hope.

But Lehi immediately extinguished that hope, he broke through Prince's defense from the side, rushed into the interior of the Pistons without Ben Wallace, and dunked successfully, giving the Pistons a heavy punch.

With the exception of Billups, Hamilton missed all three-pointers from the perimeter and a pull-up with the ball, and the Pistons had no more options for offense.

Time was running out, and the Pistons had clearly lost their fighting spirit, and the game ended like this.

The Knicks scored in double figures to win 96-83.

Li Hai has 21 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists, not because his scoring ability has declined, but because the team doesn't need him to score desperately, as long as he does a good job, the team can go on steadily.

Compared with the Western Suns, who were trapped by injuries and unable to play their full strength, and were defeated by the Mavericks, the battle between the Knicks and the Pistons with a neat lineup can cause more conversation.

Pistons coach Philip Sanders is also under a lot of pressure, and he is considered inferior to Larry Brown to take the Pistons away from the playoffs.

And the Pistons' big-mouthed Barrashid Wallace, in addition to questioning the media's judgment of the Pistons, believes that the Pistons win is undoubted, and they have also fallen behind the Cavaliers before, which is just a minor problem, but he is also a little dissatisfied with the head coach in his tone, and does not support Philip Saunders at all.

Another Wallace, Ben Wallace, also expressed his dissatisfaction with the coach, thinking that Philip Saunders did not pay enough attention to defense, and at this time there was no unity inside, and the Pistons really had problems.

"We can't be careless, the Pistons guys have big mouths, but they don't keep their hands on the court." When talking with his teammates during a break in training, Lehi also reminded him.

"Of course, now it's a great opportunity for us to get to the finals, and everybody has cheered me up." Marbury was clearly a little excited, too.

Speaking of the Finals, a group of Knicks teammates were a little excited, and so was Lehi.

And the team's two players with Finals experience, Jalen Rose and Marrick Rose, are also boastful, talking about the difference in the Finals.

Larry Brown, the head coach who led the team to win the Finals, can only pull his face to calm them down, and it would be too wrongful to affect the good situation because of fluttering.

However, Li Hai and others understand that if they want a better future, they must play every game well. (To be continued.) )
