Back in New York, the Knicks got one of the most important awards in the regular season before Game 5, the MVP of the regular season.

And the person who got it was naturally Hill, and when he took over the trophy from Stern, even an actual tough guy like Hill couldn't help but shed his own tears.

When Stern saw Hill like this, he just patted Hill on the shoulder with a smile and comforted him, while Mill still put Hill, who had just won the MVP, on the bench, whether it was tactical arrangements or wanting Hill to calm down his inner emotions.

How many years has it been since the Knicks have a player won the regular season MVP? Willis from the 69 to 70 seasons? How many years have passed since Reed? And Hill's MVP trophy is the second person in the history of the Knicks after Reed.

And Hill's journey as an All-American idol from college, to being selected by fans to participate in the All-Star in his rookie season, to his later injuries, and even how many years have he been recuperating intermittently?

From the bleak departure of the Pistons and Magic, to the rise of the Knicks again, to the real rise of the Knicks this season, how many years have passed in this process?

How many years of career can a professional footballer have? And how many years can a player maintain the peak of his career?

Hill knows that this may be the last and best chance to win the regular season MVP, so he is even willing to let himself owe Gong Feng a big favor, you know how many years, how much does Hill spend in order not to owe favors?

It's just that Hill can't wait, he can't wait for this peak that should come, he needs this peak to make a name for himself, he needs this MVP to cheer for himself next, and he needs this MVP for the Knicks' first glory.

In the cheers of the Knicks fans from the beginning, the Knicks started the fifth playoff game of the second round, maybe it was disturbed, maybe it was really the strength of the Knicks themselves, from the beginning the Knicks' main force occupied the absolute upper hand, whether it was Yao Ming's guard-like play in the face of Ben's backwards and turns, or Gong Feng's emergency stop jump shot, which began to play at the beginning.

In the subsequent game, the Knicks let Battier stay on the court in order to reduce the tactical complexity of the players, reduce the Pistons' ability to help defend players and help defense, and reduce their own involuntary mistakes.

On the offensive end, Battier has always stood on the bottom foot, or according to the changes in the team's formation, looking at Gong Feng's eyes, or the tacit understanding with Gong Feng to constantly slip the bottom line.

Larry looked at the connection between Bow Peak and Battier and hated it so much, you said that sending Prince to defend Battier would make the team lose a player with strong defensive ability, but let Hamilton defend, Battier dared to go head-to-head with Hamilton under two empty baskets inside.

You must know that during the Duke period, Battier was a rare all-round expert!

In this way, even Battier seems to be more suitable to stay in the main team than Hill, and Hill does not have any grievances, any complaints, not only because of his own injury, but also because Hill knows too well how rare it is to have good teammates, and Hill and Ray Allen are the ones who feel it the most.

Later, the Pistons also formed a tacit understanding of defense, and in the first period, they gave Battier a few shots to see how he felt under interference.

If Battier doesn't feel good about three-pointers, then I'm sorry, this point may be deliberately abandoned by the Pistons, and increase the defense in other places, if it feels good, there is nothing to say.

Battier, who didn't feel very good in the third and fourth games, completely exploded in the fifth game, and even stepped out of the baseline to accept passes from other players from other angles.

The Knicks' main play has always been very stable, which is also related to the all-round ability of the main core, such as Allen when he can't shoot, he will also catch the ball at the right time to break through the basket and make fouls, or directly take the ball to score by himself.

No one dares to put Gong Feng's three points, no matter how Gong Feng can rank his rookie selection, and he will be selected if he can rise to the top 20, Gong Feng's three-point ability is a point that all teams will value, as for the physical confrontation, although Gong Feng is not the kind of physical fitness man, and he can't defend any of the league's first-line breakthrough players, but Gong Feng can still reach the NBA's lowest level of confrontation.

Besides, if he didn't put Gong Feng's three points, Gong Feng could use his court wisdom to make the Pistons very uncomfortable, if he let it go, ...... Who knows what Angry Bow Summit does?

Gong Feng's two career highs were in the playoffs, and the last performance of Gong Feng's current career high score at the end of last season has always been remembered in many people's minds.

With such stability, suddenly coupled with Battier's outburst, the Pistons' defensive mode was even more unbearable, and some defenses that were not very satisfactory to Larry suddenly became fragmented.

Gong Feng would not let go of such an opportunity for his teammates to score easily, and even took the initiative to speed up the pace of the game, which should have been very slow, to make the game more compact, this sudden change of style, especially regardless of the sudden change in the physical strength of Yao Ming and Ma Long, was even more expected by the Pistons, and even watched Ray Allen suddenly step forward to oppress the defense, and the quick counterattack to score, Larry quickly called a timeout.

It's a pity that this timeout was really late!

The Knicks players who played the limelight made the bench players who were supposed to play on the court not play at the end of the first quarter, and the main force played the first quarter of the game, and from here, the score between the Pistons and the Knicks was once again stretched to 12 points after the first quarter.

The Pistons' defense itself does not have any problems, but because of Battier's change, the Knicks played more vigorously as a whole, which is an important reason why the Pistons were pulled away in the first quarter.

Looking at the sudden change of situation on the court because of Battier's three-point shot, Korver, who was wearing a suit and doing assistant work on the bench, had his eyes lit up, and after adding a lot of strength to himself in his heart, although he touched his not very thick muscles, but Korver's heart became more resolute.

……

The Pistons' off-the-bench main Collis desperately wanted to tell Larry that he didn't want to face Hill anymore!

When coming off the bench in the second quarter, in order to take care of Hill's emotions, Mill did not replace Battier, who felt well, and then replaced Jay, Barry and Bosh, and opened the scene to let Hill start to dominate the situation on the court.

Mill believes in a person's emotions, especially those that Hill has accumulated over the years. Mill believes that Hill will not let anyone, a team, ruin his good mood today, and the Pistons, Hill's former owner, are the best target for Hill.

Mir, who guessed people's hearts very accurately, did guess Hill's heart at this time, Hill, who suppressed his emotional changes a little, but after he stepped onto the court, he began to tighten his clothes.

Listening to the fans frantically shouting MVP, Hill, who was holding the ball at the three-point line, looked at Collis, who was defending himself, without any facial expression, just dribbling the basketball in his hand very slowly, looking at the positions of all the players on the court, slowly dribbling the ball and starting to move towards the three-point line, taking a small step forward.

Seeing this, Colis immediately prepared to press forward to defend Hill close to prevent Hill's sudden shot, but it seemed that Hill who didn't look at Collis, at the moment when Collis suddenly pressed forward, he immediately accelerated for the first time, directly passing Collis, and at the moment of passing, Hill accelerated again.

The Pistons' current interior line is not weak, Oku and Campbell are very qualified blue-collar players in the league, and at the moment when Hill broke through, Campbell, who had stronger mobility ability, went straight forward and prepared to make Hill's foul outside the three-second zone.

But Campbell counted everything, but forgot how fast he was moving, and how fast Hill was at the moment.

As if he didn't see Campbell, after Hill accelerated in the third step, he jumped up directly, faced Campbell's defense with his hands raised, and poured the ball into the basket with the referee's whistle.

Hill, who completed the slam dunk, did not look at the league veteran Campbell lying in front of him, but knocked his palm his chest, and then immediately raised his arm high and shouted fiercely!

Hill, who has always maintained elegance on the field, showed his absolute domineering in front of everyone for the first time! (To be continued.) )
