On May 24, 2004, as the Pistons returned to Detroit, the local newspaper began to hold a "critique meeting."

The Detroit Free Press repeatedly analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of the two teams before the series began.

After praising the "pit bull backcourt" and "the league's best interior combination", he finally concluded:

"Win!"

As the largest circulation newspaper in the region, it naturally has a lot of influence, and columnists are working in unison, deliberately ignoring the Knicks' record while bragging about their home team.

The fans believed it, and as a result, after two big defeats, everyone followed suit

Mitch Albon, a columnist for the Detroit Free Press, has spoken out frequently in the past two days, pointing the finger at Larry Brown, and the headline of his latest article this morning uses boxing jargon:

“Technical Knock Out！”

Technical knockouts are a summary of the first two games, and the article is not scribbled, in the G2 game, the Knicks made 27 shots from outside the three-point line.

The team shot 40 percent from three-point range on 11-of-27 shooting, while the Pistons shot 2-of-11 from the field and didn't shoot 20 percent from the field.

"The Pistons' tactics seem to be stuck in the 90s of the last century, and we are tied down by ourselves!"

The article struck a huge chord with the fans, and the coaching staff didn't make any adjustments, and they lost neatly.

At 79:110, the Pistons lost by another 31 points in G2, which seemed to indicate that the two teams were not on the same level, which made fans despair.

In the 21st century, Detroit was still in economic contraction and urban decline, and by the 2000 census, the city's population had declined to 950,000.

The influx of African-Americans has changed the racial structure of the area, and the knock-on effect is that basketball seems to have become more popular.

The Knicks who flew to Detroit yesterday afternoon were boycotted by some fans after checking into the hotel.

Although Grant Hill left the team with an injury back then, fans still don't like "traitors", plus "Big Mom" played the score when she came here, and no one liked that deal.

Every time they come to Detroit to play on the road, the Knicks will stay at the Marriott Hotel here, which is some distance from the Auburn Hills Palace Arena, and they have to prepare in advance for the afternoon warm-up.

At the end of May, when the temperature rose, Li You, who came to play away, was still dressed in jeans and a white T-shirt, and added a blazer to show formality.

In Detroit, Lee You's popularity is mediocre, and the black fans here don't like him, except for those extreme winning honey, most people don't feel anything about him.

However, this is also a good thing for Li You, at least he doesn't have to take care of the fans for a few days, and he can rest at ease.

In the afternoon, when the Knicks boarded the bus to go to the arena, only the sports media gathered around.

The TNT reporter saw Li You, who was chewing gum and greeting everyone, and hurriedly asked:

"Lee, did you follow last night's game? If the Timberwolves make it to the Finals, will that bother the Knicks? ”

Li You had gone to bed early after playing cards last night, and he really wasn't interested in watching those slow-paced, iron-filled games.

"The Knicks have 72 wins this season, and no team has come close to us, no matter who the opponent is, it doesn't bother us."

"But I'm happy to see Kevin win, the MVP should show his dominance, and I'm looking forward to meeting him in the Finals."

"When the time comes, I can send him home sooner, I think that's what New York fans would love to see!"

The accompanying New York reporters laughed lowly, they all watched last night's Western Conference Finals, "rookies and chickens", the two teams and the Knicks are not at the same level.

The ESPN reporter was more focused on tonight's game, seizing the opportunity to immediately ask:

"With a big score of 2-0 lead, Lee, will you continue to win tonight, and will you make some tactical adjustments in the face of the Pistons' defense?"

"Of course the Knicks will win the series, but as for adjustments, I think it's a problem for the opponents, and the team has won two games in a row, so we're not going to make any adjustments."

Li You answered this "outrageous" question with a smile, as he said, the coaching staff really didn't have much instruction in the past two days.

After a brief interview, seeing everyone on the Knicks boarding the bus with ease, some sports reporters began to whisper again:

"If the Timberwolves make it to the Finals, there's going to be a problem with the ratings."

"Not everybody wants to see the Lakers and Knicks play in a four-way match! The Lakers played like shit last night, and I love watching Garnett play! ”

"It doesn't matter who the opponent is, do you really think the Knicks are going to lose? They have won 70+ games for the second season in a row. ”

A reporter from the Detroit Sports News couldn't help but be a little angry when he found out that the Pistons had been ignored.

This week's weekly issue was just released this morning, and a lot of it was about the Pistons returning to their home court to fight back.

As a result, most commentators have stopped commenting on the series, and on ESPN, Stephen A. Smith has even started to take out a loan for Lee:

"At the end of the season, we will witness the birth of the best player of all time!"

Detroit's sports reporters listened to the whispered discussions, but they were a little powerless to refute, and everyone could only hope that the Pistons would win the game in the evening.

At 19:30 that night, half an hour before the start of the game, more than 22,000 fans had poured into the Auburn Hills Palace Arena.

The arena has more capacity than Madison Square Garden, and with fewer "traitors" in Detroit, boos poured out as the Knicks took the stage.

Grant Hill was also booed by Pistons fans, and everyone showed no mercy to the "traitor", and many fans have begun to spit fragrant mouths.

The biggest boos in the audience were naturally given to Li You, and the New York media took out loans every day and repeatedly mocked the opponent, which made the away atmosphere particularly bad.

In New York, Boston, and New Jersey, there are always a lot of Asian American fans in the stadium, but in Detroit, there are no more die-hard fans.

When the Pistons came on the stage, the fans at the scene were shouting to the fullest, trying to infect the home team with a warm live atmosphere.

Ben Wallace may be in G2, but as the star of the Pistons' current roster, Big Ben is still a fan favorite, and everyone loves the dynamic short center.

The noisy atmosphere also made the two people in the ESPN commentary booth involuntarily raise their voices:

"It's a horrible home atmosphere, and I love the energy that the Pistons fans show."

"Back at home, the Pistons should play their own game!"

Bill Wharton also didn't analyse the tactics and lineups, and neither side made any changes, so he talked more about mental effects.

Nesler also seems to be infected, it has been a long time since he has been such a pure fan, and when he heard the words of his partner, he said with the same approval:

"I believe the Pistons can protect their home court, they are the best team on the defensive end this season, two away games, they haven't shown their true quality!"

Before the game, Ben Wallace and Rashid Wallace continued to encourage their teammates to fight to the death, and Coach Larry Brown also pulled the players to talk non-stop on the sidelines.

On the contrary, on the Knicks' side, several members of the coaching staff sat quietly in their seats, and D'Antoni wore a "red scarf" tonight, and the boos on the scene did not affect his good mood.

After the start of the game, the Pistons changed the slow state of the first two games, and frequently attacked the basket in the case of average shooting status, and responded by making free throws.

The shorted Ben also found his touch on the inside, finishing a few times and sending the ball into the basket steadily.

With the blessing of the home atmosphere, everyone on the Pistons team is brave, and Williams has also found his form, hitting mid-range jumpers after several blocks.

In the second quarter of the game, Wallace finally found his touch outside the three-point line, cooperated with Hamilton's pick-and-roll, and hit consecutive three-pointers after rebounding.

Billups responded with a cold arrow from beyond the three-point line.

The Pistons, who no longer executed zone defense and took the initiative to speed up, made free throws and shots, and played a wave of climaxes in the rotation phase.

At 24:32 in the single quarter, at the end of the half, at 54:59, the Auburn Hills Palace Arena was completely boiling.

More than 20,000 fans were shouting loudly, and as they walked to the players' tunnel, Wallace threw his fists again and again, and was stimulated by the atmosphere to roar loudly.

So far in the playoffs, the Knicks have rarely trailed at halftime.

It's just that this situation has not affected everyone's mood, except for Artest's dissatisfaction with the referee's decision, everyone's mood is very stable.

On the ESPN commentary bench, the two looked at the technical statistics, and Nesler praised the performance of the Pistons in the backcourt:

"That's the kind of bulldog backcourt we're looking forward to, and with Coach Larry Brown making timely adjustments, the Pistons are finally showing their offensive firepower."

Almost played the full half, Hamilton was 5-of-10 from the field, 8-of-9 from the free-throw line, and had 18 points, 1 rebound, 5 assists and 1 steal;

Billups was 3-of-8, 2-of-3 from beyond the three-point line and 6-of-6 from the free-throw line to finish with 14 points, two rebounds, six assists, one steal and one turnover.

The two scored 32 points together, taking half of the team's scores.

In the half, the Pistons were lethal, shooting 17-of-19 from the free-throw line, and the Knicks were able to accumulate fouls quickly.

Bill Wharton listened to his partner's words and added:

"Three turnovers at halftime, that's the key to the Pistons' lead, they executed the game plan perfectly!"

Wallace was 4-of-6 in the half, 2-of-3 from beyond the three-point line, scored 10 points on a jumper, and after returning to the locker room, he took the initiative to speak again:

"Hold on! The defending champion is nothing big either! Beat them and we're the champions! ”

Standing in front of everyone, Wallace clapped his hands and encouraged loudly, and Campbell, who rarely appeared in this series, also cheered:

"Think about the fans who supported us, protect the home stadium, the series has just begun."

Lynch-Hunter also cooperated with the veteran's loud encouragement, and the main lineup played almost the entire first half, and the physical consumption was not small, so he could only grit his teeth and persist at this time.

When Larry Brown returned to the dressing room, he was very happy with the way his players were doing, and although it wasn't the pace of the game he liked, the result was good:

"Remember, don't make unnecessary mistakes, concentrate, we have 24 minutes left to win!"

The series has been played so far, there is no need to arrange tactics anymore, both sides know each other's strength in both games, and what they fight is the details.

Compared with the Pistons, which played chicken blood, the Knicks didn't have much on their side.

Too many fouls increased the rotation, and D'Antoni didn't care about it, and he ignored the difference within 10 points.

At halftime, the Knicks returned to the court early to warm up, and were booed by the fans at the scene.

By the time the third quarter began, the noisy arena was cheering in unison.

The first half performed well, Billups, who received the ball on the bottom line, was in high spirits, faced Li You's leading defense, took the initiative to exert force, and accelerated through the half with the ball in his left hand after colliding with his body around the ball behind his back.

After returning to the home court, the biggest change is that you can't interfere with the cut ball fiercely, and the rules of the game have largely protected the Pistons.

Artest took the lead in defending Hamilton, chasing down with all his might, and when he bounced to the left block with the help of a screen, there were no good passing opportunities.

Billups, who was guarding the ball sideways, did not pass the ball at the first time, but immediately beckoned Big Ben to step forward to block and dismantle.

When approaching the left flank, Billups moved sideways, and Li You aimed at the movement behind him, and immediately stepped forward to defend, and the fake cover of Big Ben quickly went down.

Gasol carefully controlled his delays, picked up three fouls at halftime, and stopped expanding his defensive area at this time.

Billups, who held the ball in his left hand as he was on the move, saw the opportunity and immediately sent a ground pass.

Big Ben, who was down in the middle, received the ball and combined the ball, facing Kurt Thomas's defense, tilted his body to dodge the defense, and switched to the left hand to pick up the basket on the lower left side of the basket.

The basketball popped up immediately after hitting the board, and in the sighs of the fans at the scene, Hill, who shrank to the basket in time, immediately protected the backcourt rebound.

Wallace, who was standing in the right elbow area and trying to rush for the rebound, shouted loudly at this time, reminding his teammates on the perimeter to retreat quickly.

Williams stepped forward and ran back to half court after a delay, and tonight the Pistons almost gave up frontcourt rebounds and dropped back faster.

Dribbling across the half court along the left sideline, Hill didn't rush to attack, waiting until the two big men were standing in the elbow area, and then gave the ball to Li You near the logo.

Hill, who completed the pass, began to beckon the crowd to open up the space, and quickly slid to the bottom right corner.

Lee Woo, who was holding the ball in his left hand, moved slowly at this time, and when he came to the left wing, Kurt Thomas moved to block the pick-and-roll.

On the three-point line, Li You, who was holding the ball in his left hand, moved sideways, and Kurt Thomas, who was fake covering, quickly went down.

Wallace switched in time, while Billups cut off the passing lane, slowed down as he reached the elbow area, and turned his head to watch the line.

The two cooperated tacitly, and the tall Wallace also raised his right arm to prevent Li You from the ball, maintaining a certain defensive distance while trying to interfere as much as possible.

Facing Wallace, who came up with the change of defense, Li You, who was holding the ball in his left hand, first moved sideways, and suddenly led the ball forward near the sideline, accelerating with his shoulders heavy.

Taking advantage of the opponent's move backwards, Li You quickly crossed and pulled back, the left sideline, and returned to the outside of the three-point line while feintting to close the ball with his left hand.

Wallace hurriedly stepped forward, but Li You accelerated with his shoulders heavy again.

Watching the big man being shaken and dancing, and suddenly the defense was out of position, the Pistons fans on the scene exclaimed again:

"Oh!"

Billups, who stopped near the elbow area, immediately stepped forward to wrap up, and Li You, who had taken a big step forward, sensed the defensive movement and pulled back his crotch with the trend, and then quickly retreated.

Returning to the left sideline again, outside the three-point line, Li You drifted backwards, jumped up and blocked the two of them, adjusted the arc, and threw a jump shot with a slight back!

Billups and Wallace, who flew into the air early, could only watch the basketball past their fingertips.

"Huh!" Three-pointers hollow into the net.

"Shh

The boos resounded in the arena again, and Li You, who hit a difficult jump shot, looked calm, moved to the baseline position, and continued to lead the defense.

At 57:59, the margin narrowed, the Pistons were a little nervous, and the baseline was more cautious than Loops.

Almost eight seconds down to dribble across the half, and when he reached the top of the arc, Billups immediately sent a diagonal pass.

After slipping to the baseline, he went around the line again, and Hamilton used Wallace to cover in the elbow area, and just escaped the defense when he received the ball on the right side.

Although Artest struggled to chase the defense, he could only slow down when he came to the side, converge his defensive movements, and watch the opponent drift to the right rear and make a jump shot!

At 57:61, the ball was quickly responded, the cheers rose again, and many fans got up to watch the game, and the single-digit score difference made everyone extremely nervous.

After serving from the baseline, Li You quickly dribbled through the half court, and just came to the logo position, Williams suddenly stepped forward to help defend and cooperated with Billups to wrap the ball.

Artest struggled on the defensive end tonight, and the projection outside the three-point line followed by the crotch, Li You did not choose to pass, but quickly dribbled behind his back, and accelerated horizontally with the ball in his right hand.

Billups kept sliding to the left, while Williams followed him as the pair tried to block Lee on the right touchline.

When accelerating horizontally to the three-point line, Li You suddenly pulled back under his crotch, and suddenly led the ball forward at the moment when he switched to his left hand before Williams formed a bag.

As soon as Billups lost his position, Li You, who suddenly accelerated, passed between the two.

"Oh!"

In the exclamations of the fans, Li You, who was fishing for the ball in his right hand, took two big steps and came to the paint area, in front of the basket, facing the cover of Big Ben, and quickly completed the throw!

The basketball arcs in a huge arc and finally falls into the basket with precision.

At 59:61, the margin was closed again, and Larry Brown on the sidelines kept clapping his hands and loudly signaling the players to hold steady.

The Knicks have a lot of experience in the game, and they know that this is a crucial game, and they also follow up and defend hard.

Seeing that Billups, who had dribbled past half court, failed to get rid of Li You's defense several times in an accelerated manner, the noise grew louder and louder.

Unable to get rid of Li You with explosiveness, Billups, who came to the top of the arc, held the ball in his right hand and protected the ball sideways.

In the crucial round, he didn't call for Big Ben's pick-and-roll, and Billups patiently waited for his teammates to run for their chances.

On the left side, Hamilton had just received a pass from his teammate and was immediately chased by Artest.

Instead of attacking with the ball, he gave the ball to Wallace in the right elbow area, and after completing the pass, Hamilton stepped forward again to receive the ball.

Artest did not choose to squeeze through the cover, but went around the lower line to block his opponent's path.

Hamilton, who was moving sideways, was just waiting for him, dribbled to the free throw line with the ball in his left hand, and immediately turned around and passed it back again.

On the right flank, when Wallace received a pass, Kurt Thomas raised his left arm and stepped forward to interfere.

Without another three-pointer, Wallace finally chose to move sideways, grabbing the ball with his left hand and leaning sideways to pass the ball to Billups.

The Pistons' offense tossed around and finally the ball was back in Billups' hands.

The noise is getting louder and louder, and seeing Li You sticking to the defense, Pistons fans seem to feel the pressure.

Billups held the ball in his right hand and continued to jump and dribble, Li You was unmoved, continued to step forward to defend, and from time to time he started to interfere.

After continuously blowing up the ball, at the top of the arc, Billups suddenly lowered his shoulders and slowed down, and the ball protector slapped Li You's arm away, and the two people's bodies collided together, continuing to bury their heads and thrust.

About to break through to the free throw line, Billups suddenly dribbled behind his back, briefly dodged the defense, and immediately closed the ball at the free throw line, and made a quick step-back jumper with his feet.

Under the silky combo, the moment the basketball was about to leave his hand, Billups in the air suddenly widened his eyes.

Li You, who was on his side, seemed to see through the defense, and was ready to jump high, and the moment the opponent's basketball left his hand, his right hand pressed on the ball.

The clean block made the Pistons fans exclaim again, and after landing on the ground, Billups stumbled and lost his center of gravity.

Seeing Li You leap forward, control the ball and accelerate his lunge, Billups immediately chased after him.

Li You, who was holding the ball in his right hand, rushed faster and faster, ignoring the defense behind him, just one step past the free throw line, he immediately rose into the air, and after gliding in the air, he grabbed the ball with his right hand and dunked it with one arm!

“OMG！ Lee flies! The Knicks equalized! ”

Nesler instantly raised his voice, and Bill Wharton, who was on the side, saw that it was not a big deal, and said excitedly:

"It's time to put the stars to the test! Someone on the Pistons has to step up and score! ”

Billups became more and more nervous, and when he saw Li You moving his shoulders under the basket, he couldn't help but loudly remind Williams who served when he received the ball:

"Bro, be careful!"

After another pouting and dribbling through the half, Hamilton couldn't find the first opportunity, and Billups took the initiative to speed up the attacking tempo and immediately signaled Wallace to go to the low post to ask for the ball.

After crossing the basket and covering the left side, the moment Wallace received the ball, Gasol came up to defend it.

After releasing the ball with his right hand, Wallace continued to lean hard and noticed that Kurt Thomas moved to block the line, and after twisting forward, Wallace immediately turned in the direction of the baseline.

Gasol successfully anticipated the opposition's offense and used his long arm to interfere with Wallace's straight-arm shot.

The moment the basketball knocked out of the frame, the referee immediately blew the whistle and signaled to the basket to grab the rebound and pull people to foul.

Kurt Thomas immediately clapped his hands, after so many years of specialization, his small movements were very hidden, Big Ben complained, and hurried back to his guard after hearing his teammates greet him.

“Defense！.”

Pistons fans who realized the situation was not good shouted loudly and tried to cheer the home team on with defensive shouts.

Billups, who saved his energy, retreated early to the vicinity of the logo, saw Li You dribbling the ball under his crotch continuously, dribbling slowly across the half court, rolling up his shorts, and staring at the movement of the ball.

Taking advantage of the opponent's close defense, Li You, who was holding the ball in his left hand, immediately turned sideways to protect the ball and moved to the left flank.

The Knicks are still in a "V-shaped" position, and Artest, who has a poor shooting touch, quickly slipped across the baseline in the bottom left corner at this time.

At the same time, Kurt Thomas in the left elbow area quickly stepped up to block the pick-and-roll.

The moment his teammates stood still, Li You, who was leaning on the defense, suddenly pulled the ball backwards and shook it, and then quickly twisted forward.

Billups, who was deceived into his center of gravity, couldn't squeeze through the cover at the first time, and Wallace watched as Lee You, who was speeding up with his heavy shoulder, hurriedly slid backwards, while propping up his right arm in an attempt to interfere.

Dribbling past the three-point line, Li You quickly went in and out, swayed right and left, Wallace made an excellent prediction, moved his foot, and continued to slide to the right rear.

As he walked, Li You suddenly changed direction in front of him, watching the basketball disappear in front of him, and Wallace instinctively shifted his center of gravity.

The moment he switched to his right hand, his body shook to the right front, and at the same time, Li You suddenly accelerated his dribbling rate, changed direction in front of his body again, and then closed the ball straight to the basket.

The speed of changing direction twice in a row was too fast, and after Li You rushed up in three steps, Wallace reacted, hurriedly moved to the basket, and jumped up to block.

At the same time, Big Ben also rushed to the front of the basket and jumped high to help defend in time.

At the bottom left of the basket, Li You, who was in the air, grabbed the ball with one hand with his left hand, sensed the arrival of the assistant defense, suddenly closed the ball, curled up and glided to the other side.

Before he was about to land, his waist and abdomen exerted force, Li You grabbed the ball with his right hand and twisted his wrist, and the basketball spun around and fell into the basket to the rebound!

"Oh!"

At 63:61, the Auburn Hills Palace Arena continued to scream, Lee Yoo scored nine points in a row, and head coach Larry Brown immediately called a timeout.

On the Knicks bench, the atmosphere group bounced around, waving towels and walking to the sidelines to give high-fives.

“Good job！”

D'Antoni smiled brightly and patted Li You on the shoulder.

The strongest tactic is really easy to use, and the bells and whistles are not effective in giving the ball to Li You

On the bench of the Pistons, everyone looked serious, and the moment they were overtaken by the score, they only felt a lot of pressure.

Larry Brown struggled to keep his emotions under control, constantly gesturing on the tactical board:

"Rashid, go to the pick-and-roll, the opponent can't interfere with your shot, now we need to score!"

Hearing the manager's words, Wallace nodded vigorously, and when Hamilton's offense stalled, it was his turn to be the main attacker.

In the first round after the timeout, the Pistons strictly followed the coaching arrangement.

High at the top of the arc, Lee Woo couldn't get past the cover at the first time, and Kurt Thomas interfered with Billups, who immediately sent a ground-hitting pass.

On the left wing, Wallace didn't adjust much after receiving the ball, and he made a long two-point jumper!

“Wow！”

At 63:63, the equalizer was equalized, cheers resounded in the stadium, and Wallace was even more excited to beat his chest and shout again and again, trying to arouse the emotions of his teammates.

The baseline ball was opened, and everyone in the Knicks quickly rushed across the halfcourt, and with the same tactics, the four of them fell into position early.

As Lee crossed the halfway line, Billups noticed that the two big men behind him were starting to move upwards.

Realizing that this was a double-screen tactic, Billups immediately stepped forward to defend and beckoned his teammates to help in time.

Taking advantage of the moment when the opponent stepped forward to guard and move his footsteps, Li You, who was holding the ball in his right hand, suddenly lowered his center of gravity, and his body shook to the right front while changing direction sharply.

Billups was shaken to the spot, and before he could make defensive moves, there was still some distance from the three-point line, Li You directly closed the ball and made a jump shot!

Everyone on the Pistons subconsciously turned their heads to look, and the moment the basketball fell into the net, the exclamation resounded in the arena again.

"Oh!"

"Incredible, 26-foot three-pointers? Lee is simply unstoppable! ”

On the commentary seat, Nesler shouted again and again, looking at Li You, who continued to lead the defense, and Bill Wharton also exclaimed:

"It's time for a superstar to take over the game! Lee has turned on scoring mode. ”

Seemingly spurred on by an outrageous goal, the Pistons' offense became sloppy, and Williams, who played efficiently at half-time, immediately broke through after receiving the ball on the right flank.

Grant Hill didn't lose his position defensively, sliding quickly, and the Knicks' defense shrank with it.

Approaching the blocking position, Williams suddenly turned around, came to the paint area directly in front of the basket, and threw a quick shot with his left hand!

The basketball came out of his hands, Hill twisted and jumped to send the block, and Kurt Thomas, who was back to the basket, controlled the ball and gave the ball to Hill again, and the Knicks immediately launched a transition offense.

The players on the field all buried their heads and rushed, and when Li You came to the right flank, he immediately ran to the line to catch the ball.

After Billups came up, Li You put the ball in his right hand and jumped to dribble to shake up some space.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Pistons' defense had just taken a foothold, Li You quickly changed direction after dribbling under his crotch, suddenly accelerated his dribbling speed, and immediately grabbed half of his body.

The right wing went straight to the basket, Li You buried his head and slammed down, his left hand slapped off Billups's left arm from time to time, and rushed to the bottom right of the basket against the defense.

Approaching the paint area, Li You paused slightly, first carrying Billups on his side, and then quickly curled up and glided to the bottom left of the basket.

Big Ben, who jumped up the block, could only watch Li You grab the ball with his right hand and pick up the basket reflexively to score a basket.

At 68:63, the noise in the stadium became louder and louder, and the fans at the scene couldn't hold back.

The Pistons attacked, and after Hamilton, who circled twice, hit a jumper from the right block, coach Larry Brown on the sidelines jumped in a hurry.

Gasol, who grabbed the rebound, threw the ball to Li You as soon as possible, accelerating along the left sideline, and Billups nervously defended the interference.

Seeing Li You coming to the left wing, shouting and scolding began to appear in the arena, and everyone in the Pistons team who had just finished the defensive alignment subconsciously looked at the line.

When he was close to the three-point line, Li You suddenly accelerated with a heavy shoulder in his left hand, and immediately dribbled behind his back while Billups was sliding backwards.

Slowing down the pace of the dribble, Li You, who switched to his right hand, paused slightly, and noticed that Hamilton on the other side began to speed up, and his body suddenly shook to the right front.

Billups instinctively slid to the left back, and Lee quickly crossed and pulled back.

The moment he shook out of the shooting space, Li You directly closed the ball, and in the exclamation of the Pistons fans, he exerted force under his feet, leaned back slightly, and made a quick jump shot!

Billups, who struggled to pounce, couldn't control his center of gravity, and the basketball flew to the basket and knocked Lee to the floor.

"Squeak!"

At the same time as the referee's whistle, everyone on the Pistons looked at the basket again, the basketball hollowed into the net, and the Auburn Hills Palace Arena suddenly fell silent, and then completely fried the pot

At the same time as the boos were everywhere, the fans who broke the big defense began to shout and curse wildly.

Li You, who was pulled up by his teammates, smiled, put his left hand to his ear, and made a listening gesture.

"Lee! Don't provoke the fans! ”

The linesman pushed Lee Woo directly to the free throw line, and at the same time turned his head to warn the fans in the front row to watch the game civilly.

“Referee Sucks！.”

After Lee Youjia hit the free throw, the fans at the scene began to curse the referee, and everyone seemed to be unable to accept such a game.

At 72:63, seeing the point difference reach double digits, Billups couldn't hold back.

After pouting and dribbling past half court, he quickly turned around at the top of the arc, switched to the right hand, and took advantage of Wallace's standing to cover, and the right wing accelerated to break through and go straight to the basket.

Kurt Thomas didn't try to keep up as hard as he did in the first half, but gave a physical confrontation in the moment of delay that forced Billups to slow down.

At the moment when the opponent squeezed past the defense, Kurt Thomas simply stopped to make room for the chasing Li You.

Despite Wallace's loud reminder behind him, Billups couldn't stop, jumping close to the paint area, leaning forward with his right hand and throwing the ball to the rebound early.

Approaching the lower right of the basket, Li You, who adjusted his pace in advance, rose into the air, and without waiting for the basketball to fly to the highest point, he pressed the ball on the rebound with his left hand!

After landing on the ground, Li You controlled the ball and Billups immediately fouled.

"Shh

The boos in the arena grew louder and louder, and Lee Yoo dribbled the ball early past halftime to Gasol in the right elbow area.

After handing over the ball, Hill in the bottom corner of the right side quickly slipped past the baseline and opened up the offensive space, Li You first accelerated to the right flank, and then suddenly stopped and pretended to run to the line.

Taking advantage of Billups' stoppage, Li You started to go straight to the basket again.

Too nervous, Billups, who lost his defensive position, didn't have time to pull and watched Li You rush to the bottom right of the basket and jump high.

Although Gasol, who sent a high throw at the elbow position, passed the ball a little higher, Li You was not affected too much, grabbed the ball with his right hand in the air, and his body drifted backwards to quickly press the ball into the basket!

"Boom!" Empty catch the storm dunk!

"Ahh

completed a difficult dunk, and after landing on the ground, Li You beat his chest and roared at the fans in the front row.

At 74:63, head coach Larry Brown called a timeout again, and several veterans were silent on the Pistons bench.

The shouting and scolding in the arena became louder and louder, and on the commentary seat, Nesler calmed down for a while, and then said loudly:

"This is a superstar, Lee changed the trend of the game with his individual ability!"

"Lee tore apart the Pistons' defense, his speed was too fast, and his strong body made him fearless of confrontation."

"With an 11-point difference, the Pistons still have a chance!"

Swept all the points in the third quarter, and after reviewing the technical statistics, Bill Wharton only felt outrageous.

After a timeout, the Pistons, who fell into a scoring drought, still relied on Wallace's free throws to break the deadlock.

After turning on the crazy bag mode, Li You sent assists in a row, and everyone in the Knicks team did not relent, even throwing free throws, and constantly scoring response goals.

Realizing that the referee was looking for a whistle, the Knicks took the initiative to reduce the defensive intensity, and under the greeting of head coach D'Antoni, Li You began to speed up the offensive tempo, and the two sides rushed faster and faster after hitting the iron.

Although Hamilton regained his touch and helped the Pistons score points in a row, Wallace hit a three-pointer.

After the two sides ran crazy in the second half of the game, the point difference was not narrowed.

In the last attack of the third quarter, Hamilton was stealed, pulled a foul, and sent a free throw after Hamilton was stealed, pulled a foul, and sent a free throw, and the Auburn Hills Palace Arena was completely boiling.

Amid the shouts and curses of the fans, Prince looked calm and steadily hit both free throws.

At 36:16 in the single quarter, the third quarter was over, and at 90:75, the Knicks overtook the score.

8-of-10, 3-of-4 from beyond the three-point line, and 3-of-3 from the free-throw line, Lee Woo scored 22 points in a single quarter.

On the Pistons bench, Larry Brown's thick chicken soup also lost its effect, and Billups stared down at the floor, no longer hearing the head coach's advice.

Wallace, who has always been active, is no longer babbling, perhaps because he has run too much and consumed too much energy, except for gasping for air, he has been silent.

Big Ben only felt that there was nowhere to use his strength, and he wanted to say something when he appeared on the stage, but finally opened his mouth but couldn't speak.

After the start of the fourth quarter, the two sides did not rotate their lineups.

Lee Woo began to consciously control the pace of the game, and as the game went by, the two sides were completely outraged except for the iron and fouls.

With 7:12 left in the game, Artest grinned and served the ball, and the fans behind the basket threw the beer directly into the court.

The beer smashed at his feet, and the shouts of the fans were heard in his ears:

"Falk squid! Put away your shitty smile! You ass licking Nigo! ”

Hearing the scolding, Artest, who was splashed with beer, suddenly became angry, and immediately wanted to rush over to theorize:

"Falk squid! You white-skinned pig! ”

Li You and the referee on the baseline were also splashed with beer, and the two saw Artest trying to punch past the camera, and immediately stepped forward to stop them.

Before the security personnel arrived, a large number of fans threw their snacks to the sidelines, and the shouting and scolding of the entire stadium became louder and louder.

With players from both sides on the baseline, the Knicks pulled Artest back to the bench before security officers stepped in to remove several fans who were still yelling from the arena.

The game was interrupted, and at 97:81, most of the game passed, and the margin came to 16 points, and Pistons fans knew that the tide was turning.

Once the Knicks get the match point, the series is out of suspense.

Despite the best efforts of the security guards, there are still occasional snacks thrown by fans in the stadium.

Some memories surged in Li You's mind, turned his head to look at the puffing Artest, and immediately walked to the technical desk and reminded:

"Let the security personnel keep the fans under control, we're not interested in having an extra boxing match!"
