Chapter 292 293. Unstable
With the loss of the Bobcats in Game [-] of the Eastern Conference semifinals.

It also once again changed the outside world's evaluation of this game.

There will never be a lack of people in this world who are like grass on the wall.

Fans of the Bobcats still support the Bobcats and hope that the Bobcats can create miracles in the future.

Those who were waiting to watch the bobcats' excitement also began to make sarcastic remarks in advance, saying that Liu Rui had tried his best, and the bobcats' good luck had run out, and they would only be beaten mercilessly by the Pistons.

Of course, Liu Rui never knew about the evaluation from the outside world, and Liu Rui was also very helpless about the loss in this game.

Because everything that the entire Bobcats team can do has been done so far. From the top to the coaching staff, down to the players, everyone is working hard to win the game.

But when personal ability is here, losing is inevitable.

…………

April 5

The fourth game between the two sides in this round is still at the Bobcats' home court. In this campaign, the current total score of the two teams is that the Pistons lead the Bobcats 2:1.

If the Bobcats lose again in this game, the Pistons will get the match point for this round of the series.

Once the Pistons get the match point, then for the Bobcats, it basically announces the complete end of this round of the series.

In this game, the two sides continued the previous starting lineup.

After coming up, the young players of the Bobcats have a strong desire to win at home. After all, this game is too important for the Bobcats.

If this game loses again, it means that the Bobcats will be a guest at the Palace of Auburn Hills to challenge the Pistons in the next game. This is definitely bad news for the Bobcats who are behind by a large score.

Relying on the hot touch of the Bobcats young players outside, at the end of the first quarter, the Bobcats played at their home court with:

26:21
Super-level performance scored 26 points in a single quarter and led the Pistons by five points.

In the second quarter, Larry Brown only used the substitute lineup for about 2 minutes before switching his starter back to the field.

Due to the lag in the first quarter, Larry Brown also felt a great threat. After all, before this, the Bobcats had already won a game against the Pistons.

So facing the endless firepower of the Bobcats outside, Larry Brown felt more anxious than Liu Rui at this time.

After all, Liu Rui has always placed himself on the weak side, and his expectations for advancing in this round of the series are not high.

But Larry Brown is different. His goal this season is to defend his title.

But now, because of the sudden appearance of the Bobcats, they were dragged into this embarrassing situation.

This made Larry Brown doubt himself. Even if the Pistons beat the Bobcats and advance to the next round, with the current state of the Pistons, can they still win this year's championship? !

The players on the Pistons field also felt tremendous pressure after they came back in the second quarter. Throughout the second quarter, they began to increase the pressure on the defensive end.

And when the defensive pressure of the Pistons came up, the Bobcats' offense was gradually extinguished.

At the end of the half, the two teams ended with:
45:45
It's a tie!

Seeing that at the end of halftime, the Pistons suddenly began to exert force in the second quarter, and the current score on the court was temporarily tied, Liu Rui also subconsciously licked his palate.

And in the series against the Pistons, Liu Rui's brows were always furrowed.

The little Bickerstaff who was watching next to him was afraid that Liu Rui would squeeze out his forehead wrinkles...

After returning from the second half, the Pistons did not dare to relax their vigilance in the slightest.

Because at this time the score on the court is stalemate, that means everything is possible in the future.

Although the Pistons currently lead the Bobcats with a big score of 2:1, the Pistons really want to resolve this round of the series as soon as possible.

After all, the longer it drags on, the worse it will be for the next Eastern Conference Finals matchup.

Because of another matchup in the Eastern Conference at this time, the Heat have won the match point with a [-]-[-] Wizards without any suspense.

If there is no accident, the next game will send the Wizards home with an absolute advantage of four to zero.

This makes the defending champion who is still struggling with the Bobcats feel very upset.

The Pistons don't want to pass the Bobcats, but finally fall at the feet of the Heat, because for the Pistons, their goal is to defend the title.

And the same idea as the Pistons, of course, there are Bobcats players.

Because the Bobcats are now behind by a big score, the rookie players' spirit of not admitting defeat has also been inspired.

I really want to win this game in front of the fans at home and give it to everyone who supports the Bobcats.

But obviously, after coming back in the second half, the excitement of the Bobcats players failed to convert it into points.

Facing the huge pressure on the Pistons' defensive end, the Bobcats' frequent strikes outside the three-point line resounded throughout the Charlotte Arena.

Watching the young players frequently strike the iron on the court, although Liu Rui sitting off the court was very anxious, there was really nothing he could do.

The entire Bobcats this season is to survive on three-pointers.

The advantages and disadvantages of the three-pointer are equally obvious. When the hand feels good, the Bobcats can easily take the game away.

When the hand feels bad, maybe facing an underdog, the Bobcats can also take away the game in waves, um..., take themselves away.

What's more, the Pistons put a lot of pressure on players to shoot from the outside.

So after the Bobcats players came back in the second half, they didn't feel anything outside the three-point line.

Seeing the bad touch of the players on the field, Liu Rui also called a timeout helplessly.

During the timeout, the players cannot be allowed to attack the basket. After all, this is simply in the hands of the Pistons, but the poor touch outside the three-point line is not a factor that the coach can decide.

Therefore, Liu Rui can only try to find the hottest player in the game through substitutions.

After returning from the timeout, the Bobcats were still in a situation where they would collapse themselves in the third quarter.

The unstable factors of the rookie players were completely exposed in this game, and the exposure was very obvious!

At the end of the third quarter, the Bobcats played at home with:
62:71
Already 9 points behind the Pistons.

After the fourth quarter, even though the Pistons were on the leading side, they did not dare to relax in the face of such a single-digit advantage.

The Bobcats players are facing a lot of pressure. After all, the game has reached the decisive moment. If the Bobcats cannot catch up with the current score, they will face the fact that the Pistons won the match point.

It is worth mentioning that throughout the third quarter, the Bobcats hit 13 irons from beyond the three-point line in a single quarter!
The eagerness of young players to win the game has become the biggest danger to the team.

This also made the young players not as decisive as before when they came back from the fourth quarter when faced with shots from outside the three-point line...
