At eight o'clock, the game began.

Sekari and Ewing jumped and never won, and this time it was the same.

The Knicks attacked, Ewing went to the basket and Charles Smith moved low on the right wing.

Rodman defends Ewing and Sekari defends Smith.

Doug Rivers held the ball to the top of the arc, the Assassin blocked the pass angle under the basket, he pulled two steps to the left wing, Ewing didn't get the ball under the basket, quickly retreated, he hung the ball down.

"Decent passing ability." On the TNT commentary seat, Robert Giddah said.

Ewing receives the ball and Rodman goes all out in the back.

Zhang He understood: "The center of gravity of the big worm is pressed very low, only in this way can he let himself resist Ewing's back like a horse stake, focusing on preventing breakthroughs, with his height and such a low center of gravity, he can't prevent Ewing's shot." ”

"Bang!"

Ewing jumped and then received a jump shot, but it didn't feel hot and missed a little.

Secali protected the backcourt rebound, and immediately swept his eyes to the outside, and saw that the three guards had turned around and went down, and the boss Zhou Quan had already thrown off John Starks, and he hurriedly passed the ball.

"Smack!"

Charles Smith stretched out his hand, and it really touched.

"Oops! Oh, big bugs......"

The scene commentator, bearded John Lowes, exclaimed.

Fortunately, Rodman was nearby, and the ball happened to be hit on his head by Smith and was picked up by him.

"Be careful." Chuck Daley roared.

Rodman's vision was not enough, Ewing was by his side, and he couldn't pass the ball out at the first time, so he had to stop first and wait for his teammates to come back to pick it up.

Zhou Quan and the three of them had already run back, and the assassin received the ball and handed it to Zhou Quan, who quickly advanced to the front court, and did not wait for Rodman and Sekari to settle down, and directly launched an attack.

At this time, not only Rodman and Secali were still in the backcourt, but Ewing and Smith, who were counter-attacking on the spot, were the same, and there were only six outside lines on both sides in the frontcourt.

Zhou Quan entered the front from the right wing, accelerated his stride, and directly burst into front of John Starks from the outside.

Doug Rivers followed the assassin to the top of the arc, and after seeing Zhou Quan's movements, he could only defend himself to the basket.

At this time, Joe Dumas, who ran to the left wing three-point line, changed direction, bypassed Oakley, and quickly cut inside to the basket.

Zhou Quan held the ball to the right waist, and in the face of Doug Rivers did not attack, but passed the ball horizontally, Rivers hurriedly turned around, and Joe Dumas, who came in from the left wing, had already received the ball and jumped.

"Bang!"

With a one-handed slash, Doug Rivers was knocked and staggered backwards.

"Oh roar, pretty, well done, Iron Fist assists Joe Dumas to dunk Doug Rivers." The bearded John Lowes yelled excitedly.

"Our offensive tactics are still fast break and defensive counter-attack, John Starks and Oakley can't keep up with Iron Fist and Joe Dumas, and we have the advantage in overall speed." The glasses man dragon Gelance laughed.

Turning around, the Knicks attacked.

Oakley's position on the offensive end is generally near the three-point line, and as a power forward, his under-the-basket offense and low-post offense are quite rare, and the vast majority of them are two points from afar.

Rivers handed the ball to him, and he faced Joe Dumas's defense, and with a high advantage, he couldn't take advantage of the mismatch of big and small, and passed the ball back to Rivers.

At this time, John Starks ran from the left wing to the top of the arc, Rivers hurriedly passed the ball, and the former took advantage of Zhou Quan before he could catch up, and hurriedly shot a three-pointer.

Zhou Quan squeezed Rivers away and jumped from the side to block, and John Starks shot fairly quickly and didn't touch the ball.

"Bang!"

But the ball missed, and Rodman grabbed the rebound.

"Oakley plays small forward on the offensive end and doesn't have the ability to attack with the ball, which is a flaw in the Knicks' lineup." Robert Giddah said.

Ringer Wilson said: "Pat Riley traded Mark Jackson for Charles Smith and Doug Rivers in the offseason, and he originally wanted Smith to play the No. 3 position, but Smith couldn't play and had to let Oakley play. ”

"So the Knicks are going to be on the back tactics because the Pistons are playing with a small and big speed advantage, and the fast break and defensive counterattack are playing very well, while the Knicks are not playing with a big and small height advantage," Robert Gidda said. ”

Ringer Wilson nodded and said: "So I'm more optimistic about the Pistons to advance, the Knicks' lineup is still flawed, and it was caught by the Pistons." ”

The Assassin pushed the ball across the halfway line and, seeing that Zhou Quan didn't ask for the ball, gave it to Joe Dumas on the right flank.

The trio stretched wide, with Zhou close to the left touchline and Joe Dumas close to the right, making it difficult for the Knicks to pinch the three of them from the outside.

Joe Dumas received the ball, just now Oakley didn't dare to hit him with the ball, but he dared to hit Oakley with the ball, first dribbling back a step, and then suddenly starting, sticking to the right touchline and rushing down.

Oakley immediately stepped back, but at that moment, Joe Dumas turned and crossed the three-point line from the inside, and also broke Oakley.

"Bang!"

"Tick!"

Oakley was pushed to the ground by a sudden Oakley, and then the referee's whistle blew.

Zhang Li said with a smile: "The outside line has opened up the singles, and it is impossible for the Knicks' defensive system to quickly rotate and change positions, even if they break through with the ball, the Knicks can only be made up by low-post players to make up for the defense or pinch shots."

And when the low post player comes up to attack, there is likely to be a gap in the inside line, and then the pass of Zhou Quan and their three defenders can play a role. ”

Sun Zhenping nodded and said: "Indeed, the three guards are all All-Stars who can do everything in sudden shooting, and they all have three points, and the Knicks are really difficult to defend from the outside." ”

At this time, the Pistons served on the sideline, Zhou Quan received the ball, tried to shoot a fake shot, and tried to shoot three points.

His ball-holding breakthrough was not even well guarded by Jordan, so no defender in the league dared to ignore his ball-holding breakthrough, and with a fake sudden action, he directly shook back John Starks, and then made a three-point shot.

"Bang!"

Unfortunately, he missed, but Secali was good, spotted the ball on Smith's head, and then Rodman grabbed the offensive rebound.

Pat Riley on the sidelines was very disappointed, he regretted trading Charles Smith, his form fell too fast, his offense was weak, and he couldn't rebound.

Zhou Quan ran to the bottom left corner, Rodman threw the ball over, he immediately pushed his hands to the penalty area after receiving the ball, and John Starks, who was chasing down, squeaked and looked at the penalty area.

"Fake fax drop?"

Immediately, he found out that he had been fooled, and when he turned around, Zhou Quan was already in mid-air.

"Brush!"

This time, there was a splash and a three-point shot from the bottom left corner.

Robert Giddah smiled: "Two shots, the first is a fake sudden real shot, the second is a fake fax shot, the iron fist has perfectly combined the three of the sudden throw and pass, this is his threat with the ball, no one dares to ignore any of his feints, because he can turn any fake move, into a real move, he is a natural ball-holding core." ”

Ringer Wilson said: "Three-point shot 1 of 2, Iron Fist's three-point shot has always been very rare, try to shoot three points at the beginning of tonight, Robert, what does this mean?" ”

"It means that he believes in his hand today, and it means that his confidence is bursting." Robert Giddah laughed.

Ringer Wilson took a deep breath and said with some excitement: "A superstar with a lot of self-confidence, what kind of performance can he play, it's really worth looking forward to!" ”

"Of course. Hopefully the Knicks can play a good game and don't let this game go one-sided. Robert Giddah said.

"John Starks was locked with an iron fist, and the Knicks were just looking at Ewing's performance. Now the Pistons are 2-of-3 shooting, the Knicks are 0-of-2 shooting, the score is 0-5, and the Pistons are leading at home. Ringer Wilson said.

"Brush!"

Ringer Wilson wasn't wrong, and the Knicks' offense was up to Ewing, who hit a back-to-back jumper on Rodman's head and hit a ball.

"Attack!"

The next moment, the roar of the bearded John Lowes rang out in the palace of Auburn Hills.

This time, Zhou Quan and Jo Dumas quickly descended from the left and right flanks, and the Assassin stayed behind to answer.

Sekari received the ball under the basket, immediately retreated to the baseline and served quickly, giving it to the assassin first, and at this time, both Zhou Quan and Joe Dumas had already left John Starks and Oakley, and he gave Zhou Quan.

Zhou Quan held the ball into the right wing, threw the ball in the right waist position, and the next moment, Joe Dumas, who rushed down quickly from the left elbow area, flew up, received the ball in the air, and smashed forward.

At this moment, countless Pistons fans tensed their bodies, clenched their fists, and opened their mouths wide.

"Bang!"

"Oh roar!"

The next moment, countless people clenched their fists and shouted and cheered, and a huge wave resounded in the palace of Auburn Hills.

"The Knicks still want to win, they have to make substitutions, and here John Starks can't keep up with the Iron Fist, at least someone has to be able to keep up with Joe Dumas." Robert Giddah said.

"2:7, serve, Knicks call a timeout." Ringer Wilson said.

Pat Riley had a godfather face, and combed his big back with his hand, trying to make his mind clearer, his eyes were very deep, and Ewing was a little scared when he saw his eyes.

His image is very well-known in the United States, and in the movie Wall Street in 87, the main character Michael Douglas's hairstyle is copied from his big back, and this role also won the Oscar for Best Actor.

The G2 battle can be won, one is the home advantage, and the other is the tactical opponent.

In terms of tactics, first of all, the defense was effective, and the Pistons did not play too many fast breaks and defensive counterattacks, which ensured that the Knicks won the G2 game.

But at the beginning of today, the Knicks did not prevent the Pistons' offense, and he knew that changes needed to be made, otherwise letting the Pistons continue to play like this, with Ewing's mental quality, it is likely that there will be big problems.

Tonight's game is a game that the Knicks can't lose, and he has to win this away game.

But there are not enough people in his hands.

Mason is too heavy and his speed will definitely not be able to keep up with Joe Dumas, and he is ready to replace the backup guard Greg Anthony, let him face the assassins, and let Doug Rivers defend Joe Dumas, so that the height and speed do not suffer.

Oakley doesn't plan to change, the Knicks can't do without Oakley on the defensive end, and Smith can't withstand the Pistons' three outside lines to break through the offense.

"Listen, although Iron Fist's first two shots were three-pointers, he is mainly based on breakthroughs, and he mainly plays breakthrough tactics, so his defense is still based on preventing breakthroughs."

"On the offensive end, give the ball to Patrick and John Starks will use your off-ball movement to contain the iron fist and try to get him close to the touchline."

He thinks that it is extremely cost-effective to use one John Starks to contain Zhou Quan's defense, but unfortunately in the first three games, only the second John Starks has completed this task.

The timeout ends and the game resumes.

"Oh, the Knicks replaced Charles Smith, Oakley went back to the No. 4 spot, and Greg Anthony played the No. 1 spot." Ringer Wilson said quickly.

Greg Anthony was three centimeters shorter than the Assassins, only 183 centimeters tall, and two kilograms lighter, with only 80 kilograms of tonnage, which was fast, certainly faster than the current Assassins, which was why Pat Riley chose him in '91.

He catches the ball, makes a pull away gesture, and he's going to single-handedly hit the assassin.

He wanted to show himself to the Assassin, no matter how bad the Assassin was, it was also a former superstar, the core of the famous Bad Boy Army, and being able to step on him would undoubtedly attract a lot of attention for him.

John Starks worked well to get close to the left touchline.

Zhou Quan defended on the line, two meters away from Starks, that is, he took a step to cut off the passing and receiving routes between the opponent and Greg Anthony, while maintaining the opportunity to assist in the defense at the top of the arc.

But Starks immediately ran down, and he had to keep up, missing the chance to help defend the top of the arc.

"Pass!"

But just then, Pat Riley's grim roar rang out from the sidelines.

Greg Anthony was startled, and just then, the Assassin stabbed the ball.

"The ball is broken!"

The bearded commentator reacted the fastest, and the moment the steal occurred, his roar rang out immediately.

Zhou Quan turned around and ran to the frontcourt, John Starks' nervous reaction speed was not as fast as his, and his speed was not as fast as him, and he fell behind him from the start, and he could no longer catch up with him.

On the right flank, Joe Dumas was overtaken by Doug Rivers.

At this point, the Assassin controlled the ball and hit the basket, and Anthony was close to him, and instead of forcing his shot, he pulled it to the left wing and turned to pass the ball.

"Bang!"

"Oh roar!"

Zhou Quan cut diagonally into the basket from the right wing, took off from the right waist position, received the ball with one hand in the air, and detonated the Auburn Hills Palace with one hand.

"John Starks' speed is a real disadvantage, and the reason why he didn't make the cut, that was a key factor." Robert Giddah shook his head.

"Joe Dumas's side is keeping up, but there's no way on the Iron Fist side, the Knicks don't have a second guard who can keep up with Iron Fist, even if it's Rivers, his speed is not as fast as Iron Fist." Ringer Wilson said.

Robert Giddah shook his head and said, "Defending an iron fist requires not only speed, but also tonnage, who can stop his impact?"

The Knicks have Rivers, Starks, Blackman, Anthony, four guards, and a 201-centimeter forward guard, none of those five are fit to defend with an iron fist.

John Starks, the best defensive of the five, is as tall as Iron Fist, but 8 kilograms lighter, which is not only slower than Iron Fist, but also inferior to his confrontation ability. ”

"So the Knicks still can't defend against the Pistons' three-guard fast-break tactics." Ringer Wilson said.

The Knicks attacked, this time Greg Anthony didn't dare to fight the assassin alone, Pat Riley's gaze scared him like a bayonet, he dared to mess around again, and he would definitely replace him.

And Pat Riley really intends to do so, he doesn't understand what Anthony thinks this idiot, he only shoots 41.7% in the regular season and only 40% in the first two rounds of the playoffs, how dare you single-handedly play an assassin? No matter how much the strength of other assassins declines, the experience of superstars is also there, do you think you are an iron fist?

Ewing received the ball, leaned on Rodman, and immediately turned down and slipped to the bottom, Rodman quickly retreated, and Ewing threw a shot through the defender.

"4:9, Ewing made two shots in three shots, and the feel should come up." Zhang said reasonably.

"It's a fast break again." At this time, Sun Zhenping shouted urgently.

It was the assassin who stayed in the backcourt to receive and pass the ball, and Zhou Quan and Joe Dumas went down quickly.

This was a small change made by Chuck Daley, because the Assassins could not play fast attack tactics for long periods of time, and injuries and physical strength and speed could not keep up.

This time, Starks tried his best and finally ran in tandem with Zhou Quan.

At this time, Zhou Quan slowed down to catch the ball, and then accelerated again, broke through with the ball on the right wing, and there were constant small changes of direction, forcing John Starks to keep running to the basket, and he didn't even have a chance to turn around and stand defending.

Joe Dumas stopped at the left-wing three-point line and pinned down Doug Rivers there to deny him a chance to get back to the basket.

Zhou Quan slammed into the penalty area from the right elbow, slowed down slightly, and was ready to finish the shot.

At this time, John Starks, who had just rushed to the basket in front, gritted his teeth and turned around, trying to stand up in advance.

At this moment, the level 96 nerve reaction speed allowed Zhou Quan to react the fastest, taking off directly before Starks' step.

As soon as John Starks' head turned over, he saw Zhou Quan flying on his head, and he couldn't help but shrink his head in fright, and instinctively held his head with both hands to dodge.

"Bang!"

Zhou Quan split his legs, smashed the basket at the same time, rode on the opponent's neck, and then knocked it over, sliding backwards.

"Oh roar!"

At the palace of Auburn Hills, countless people rose from their seats, raised their arms and shouted.

"Buckle! Iron Fist Rider Maniac John Starks, haha, self-defeating defense, this is the best moment of the night! ”

The bearded John Lowes roared excitedly.

"The fast break is the most powerful of Iron Fist's attacking ability, and I believe that we will be able to destroy the Iron Knicks today and win the match point leading to the Finals." The glasses man roared with the same excitement.

Robert Gidda shook his head and said: "On and off the court, the Knicks players have lowered their heads, and hundreds of away fans who have come from afar are also very silent, and the morale of the Knicks has dropped significantly."

At this time, Patrick Ewing must step up, and if he can't stand up, the Knicks' morale is likely to be crushed by the Pistons. ”

On the field, Zhou Quan's roar sounded: "Guys, just tonight, we are going to kill them, and we will never allow them to take away the victory from our home stadium, do you understand?" ”

"Understood."

Led by the Assassins and Rodman, the Knicks shouted in unison.
