When Miller came back from the game, Miller assisted Artest to score a three-step layup, and the Pacers fans were suddenly cheered, and it seemed that the team's offense had improved greatly.

Huaben asked for the ball outside the three-point line, jumped up when he got the ball, Artest interfered in time, and the ball hit the inside of the hoop and bounced out. Rashid jammed O'Neal Jr. and yelled 'rebound', and Mirisic pressed Harrington to jump and grab an offensive rebound.

Mirisic landed and passed the ball directly out of the outside line, still in the hands of Warben, at this time Artest was turning around to grab the rebound, Warburn vacated, jumped up again, the first three-pointer of the second half, scored!

The Pistons' lead suddenly became double digits.

Under the leadership of Huaben, the Pistons played extremely resolutely in the third quarter, and I didn't feel it, which made your hand feel worse. With that determination, the Pistons maintained a double-digit lead into the fourth quarter.

Entering the fourth quarter, the opponent still maintained a double-digit lead, the Pacers' players were red-eyed and began to catch up, everyone understands that if this home court loses again, then the Pacers will go home and fish, not to mention how terrifying the Pistons' home court is, just in the history of the NBA, no team has been able to turn the tables in the Eastern Conference finals without losing the first two games in a row.

The Pacers used the first five minutes of the fourth quarter to prove that they were not in vain, and they wrote a brave battle history with their arrogant fighting spirit in front of their hometown fathers.

Miller, who had been running for two and a half quarters, rejected Carlisle's offer to take a break and continued to play in the fourth quarter. At the beginning of the game, he rushed across the front court with the ball, two steps away from the three-point line, jumped directly out of his hand, and blew the Pacers' counterattack with a tuba three-pointer.

The big three-pointer stunned Hamilton, and Miller's face was as proud and uninhibited as he had been at Madison Garden in New York ten years ago.

Twenty-two seconds later, in the same position, Miller hit another big three-pointer and sent the ball into the hoop again.

Two big three-pointers in a row ignited the enthusiasm of the fans, and Miller's jersey flew all over the court, and at this moment the Pistons players knew who was the boss of Indiana. It's not O'Neal Jr., the second center in the East, it's not Artest, who almost won the best defensive player, it's not Harrington, it's Miller, the old guy who is about to retire.

Brown quickly called a timeout to make arrangements, Prince came on as a substitute, specifically staring at Miller, everyone knew that once the old killer played a feeling, the opponent would wash his neck and wait for death.

Artest and O'Neal Jr. fired one after another, and the latter made a strong basket for Mirisic to foul and hit two free throws in a rare situation. Artest scored a layup on a fast-break break, and simply scored the 10th point of the fourth quarter for the team, and at this point, the Pistons' lead became two points.

"This doesn't work, this doesn't work, guys, cheer up and get me back!" Waben clapped his hands and roared, sweat running down his cheeks, neither he nor little O'Neill had a minute off.

Brown put Billups back on the court, and halfway through the fourth quarter, both teams that had lost the game suddenly woke up and shot back to normal.

The two sides went back and forth, and the game entered the moment of white-knuckle battle, and the Pacers were like the angry waves of the sea, rushing forward one by one.

The Pistons are like a reef, and Huaben is the hardest piece in it, blocking the lap of the Pacers' waves.

With 2:17 left before the break, Harrington made a layup to give the Pacers their first fourth-quarter lead at 71-70. Immediately Huaben scored a hook basket to regain the lead. Miller shook Prince to the ball and jumped, Prince hurriedly returned to defense, but there was still no time, Miller shot the ball. Billups faced Tinsley, deceived him with a breakaway feint, and made a jumper from beyond the three-point line to score three points at a critical moment

With one minute left in the game, the Pistons led by two points at 80-78, and then Artest's layup was interfered with by Waben and Rashid grabbed a defensive rebound. The Pistons attacked quickly, and Mirisic scored on a mid-range shot.

With 26 seconds left before the end of the game, the Pacers called a timeout, and the fans all shut their mouths and watched nervously at the last two offensive opportunities.

Coming back from the opening period, Miller received the ball from beyond the three-point line, Prince and Wabben pounced together, only to pass the ball to Artest, who hit a shot. The crucial three-pointer had fans cheering, and the Pacers snatched back the lead in the final minute.

With 22 seconds left in the game, the Pistons could play a quick game or leave a chance to shoot, and at this point the score was 80-81, and they trailed by just one point.

For the Pacers, Carlisle was nervously deploying: "Wait until the game starts, you guys catch Ben that villain for me, foul off the ball, foul off the ball!" Let him make free throws, his free throws are rotten to the extreme, and unless God comes back to the court, he will score a goal at most! Then we grab a rebound or get an offensive opportunity and give me this ball in and let's do it! ”

Brown guessed Carlisle's deployment, and everyone who knew basketball did.

In the TNT live broadcast room, Smith flipped through a file and introduced: "This season, the Pistons' overall free-throw shooting rate is 78%, ranking 12th in the league; Root. Wallace's free-throw percentage is, uh, 28 percent, and ranks 424th in the league out of 450 players."

"To be on the safe side, the Pistons won't let Ben play at this time, but Mr. Brown seems to have run out of timeouts, and once Ben is replaced this time, there will be no chance to replace him again." Barkley sighed, "The Pistons, it's dangerous. ”

"Dear host, the system has 6470 points, and after screening, it was found that the master-level skill 'fixed-point penalty basket' (worth 1000 points), the skill holder is Yao Ming, according to the system's judgment, your friendship with Mr. Yao Ming has reached 50%, please ask if you absorb this skill." The soft voice of the intelligence center asked Huaben in his head.

Hua Ben looked deeply at the little O'Neill and the others who were looking at him with bad intentions on the other side, and said without hesitation: "Exchange!" ”

Suddenly, a translucent window appeared in his field of vision:

a, sports: [Basketball - Iron Nerve (Master), Shenxing Taibao (Master), Run-and-catch Shooting (Master), Penalty Area Back Hit (Mastery), Penalty Area Hook (Master), Three-Point Projection (Mastery), Fixed-point Free Throw (Master)]

b. Life: [Cooking - Chinese Cuisine (Familiar Level), Family Western Medicine (Master Level)]

c, Entertainment: [Commentary - Host freely (familiar level)]

d. Fighting: [Fighting-Jeet Kune Do (Master)]

Brown frowned as he made a staff change, he looked at Oku, who didn't have many opportunities in the playoffs, and said slowly: "Ben, you come down"

"I'm fine, Larry, don't worry, let me go." Hua Ben said firmly.

Brown couldn't be too rigid about the only core of the current team, the face of Detroit sports, and persuaded him: "They're going to foul, Ben, we're two points behind." ”

Huaben smiled and nodded, "I know, don't worry, Larry, soon we will be able to turn the score into a one-point lead." Trust me, I'm not at the same level of free throw as I used to be. ”

Rashid listened to this and looked at the scoreboard, he remembered that Huaben's free throws in this game were two out of seven, right?

Seeing Wajben insist, and moreover, Brown also hopes that he can stay on the court or he will not have a chance to make substitutions. Now it's clear that if Warburn plays, the Pacers will foul and he will make free throws. And once he's not on the court, the Pacers will play tight defense and let the Pistons shoot out.

Aside from Warburn, Carlisle didn't believe they had any other core capable of killing.

At the end of the timeout, Hua Ben calmly rubbed his wrist and walked to the court with a smile.

Seeing Hua Ben take the lead, everyone was surprised, and Zhang Lili, who was chattering in the live broadcast room of CCTV and analyzing Hua Ben by various means, couldn't help but shout: "This is unreasonable, at this time Larry. How could Brown get him on the court? Dumb move, this is a dumb move! ”

Smith and Barkley had a rare unanimity: "Ben is too pretentious, he is better off at this time, and the final game has nothing to do with him." ”

The Pacers' group was happy, and seeing that Huaben really played, O'Neal Jr. patted Artest on the shoulder and whispered: "Ron, after the opening, foul!" But man, you've got to be careful and don't foul me. ”

Artest is ambitious: "Am I that stupid? Rest assured. ”

Wajben was also whispering, and Rashid served in the half, and he walked over and whispered, "Give me the ball, remember, give me the ball as soon as it starts." ”

Rashid nodded stunned, his fleshy face full of confusion.

The whistle at the beginning of the game was blown by the referees, and Huaben, who was standing in the middle of the half, heard the whistle and rushed to the three-point line like a predatory cheetah.

Wajben rushed two steps beyond the three-point line, Rashid's pass arrived, and as soon as he stopped to catch the ball, Artest pounced on him and opened his arms to wrap his arms around him.

Seeing this scene, Brown stood up nervously, and I don't know how many fans stood up nervously in front of the TV, including Pacers fans and Pistons fans.

Hua Ben glanced at Artest who was flying up with his peripheral vision, his calf exerted force, and the whole person also flew, and when Artest caught him, he also projected the ball.

"Bang!" The basketball bounced back after hitting the rebound, and the referee's whistle sounded: "Block foul!" Three free throws! ”

This decision almost caused Carlisle to vomit blood and faint to the ground, not that he had any problem with the referee's decision, in fact, Artest's foul was deployed by him, but, Ben. How did Wallace, the bastard, cheat out of three points? How can this bastard be so cunning!

The fans at the scene let out a frightened cry, and many fans covered their eyes. Soon, though, the men put their hands down again.

What about the three free throws? Root. Wallace, it's hard for him to score one out of ten penalties, right?
