The game was a big success, but the game was a big success.

Chapter 240 The most brutal massacre in the playoffs

Madison Garden.

While the coaching staff was still receiving pre-match interviews, the players were warming up on the court.

Wang Song, who fully felt the beauty of [Heartbreaker] in the last game, was ready to exchange for a new badge with good effect before the battle of Tianwang Mountain.

After browsing the mall interface, he decided to exchange for a bronze [Perpetual Motion Machine Defender] due to the stable amount of experience points in his hand.

[Perpetual Motion Machine Defender (Bronze)]: Reduce physical consumption while constantly in contact with the opponent.

After this series, Wang Song understood a truth. Only by maintaining a sufficient advantage can the opponent’s idea of ​​​​fighting be completely eliminated. Otherwise, once the opponent is given an opportunity, unexpected situations are likely to occur at the decisive moment of the final quarter.

If this new badge is available now, at least Wang Song can maintain his playing time and avoid the Knicks’ bench lineup from being widened.

Even if this badge is not used against the Pistons, facing the upcoming Western Conference champion, both the luxurious Timberwolves and the Lakers need to have sufficient physical reserves.

Therefore, exchanging [Perpetual Motion Defender] in advance can be said to be prepared.

The warm-up soon came to an end, the opening ceremony ended, and the starting players of both sides came on the court.

Pistons starters: Chauncey Billups, Richard Hamilton, Maurice Taylor, Rasheed Wallace, Ben Wallace

Knicks starters: Steve Nash, Alan Houston, Tayshaun Prince, Kurt Thomas, Wang Song

It was still a familiar lineup, a familiar matchup, but even though the matchup had already reached the fifth game, the Pistons and Knicks were still old enemies, and they were particularly jealous of each other.

The starters came on the court, and the midfield jump ball was very strong.

The resentment in Ben’s eyes was extremely strong, and the Knicks fans could see how angry this afro was just from the gloomy face of the opponent.

The jump ball between Ben and Wang Song has become the most unsuspenseful part of the game.

Knicks first attack!

In the battle of the king mountain, any means are for victory.

When the game came to the fifth game, the so-called home whistle and other objective factors would have a sharp decline in their influence on the game.

The only thing that can really determine the outcome of the game is the players’ own strength and the on-the-spot adjustments of the coaching staff.

In this game, Larry Brown made some changes to the lineup for this decisive game.

With 6 minutes left in the first quarter, the Pistons called for the first timeout, which adjusted the lineup.

Larry Brown deliberately staggered the two inside and outside line partners, Billups and Hamilton, and the Wallace brothers, to appear on the court, always keeping 2-3 starting players on the court.

D’Antoni did not make any adjustments to this change.

In the eyes of the Knicks coaching staff, the Pistons’ move was tantamount to automatically reducing their combat effectiveness. When the first lineup’s firepower could not compete with the opponent, it was an illusory thing to pin hope on the second lineup.

The game was exactly as D’Antoni expected.

After Rasheed Wallace left the court, Big Ben had to rely on his own strength to fight against the Asian big man.

A series of actions such as dragging and pulling almost did not have any substantial impact on the opponent. Instead, Big Ben received 3 fouls at the end of the first quarter.

What limited Ben the most was the feeling of being filled with lead. Although it would not last long, the sudden gravity made him very limited. He needed to constantly adjust between the two states.

Overcoming his own difficulties was enough to distract Ben, but in this case, he still needed to keep guarding Wang Song.

Facing such a highly mobile matchup, Ben could only make repeated fouls when his body did not react properly.

The Asian boy played particularly actively in today’s game. Just looking at his state, Ben felt that he was not in the decisive battle, but in the seventh game.

It happened that this was an away game, and the New York referee could not add any more points to these bad boys who came to Madison Garden from Detroit.

This led to a huge score difference between the two teams after the first quarter.

16:36!

During the intermission, the fans on the scene could not stop the joy on their faces when they saw the score. The Knicks, who returned to their home court, gave them a super gift.

Back in the second quarter.

Seeing the huge score difference in the first quarter, Larry Brown suppressed his panic and replaced the previous starting lineup with a mixed substitute lineup.

, trying to regain some ground in the second quarter.

But when he saw the lineup sent by the Knicks, his heart sank.

The Asian boy still stayed on the court. Wang Song, who played almost the entire first quarter, did not leave the court to rest, just like an iron man.

The player who was still considering whether to play with an injury in the last game suddenly seemed ready to play the whole game.

How could this be a player returning from an injury… It was like he had just won the Ironman triathlon and then transferred to the kindergarten to participate in a parent-child activity.

This huge contrast made Larry Brown feel a little unreal!

Especially when he looked at the Knicks bench, there was more awe in his eyes.

The sensitive D’Antoni felt Larry Brown’s distant gaze, and he didn’t know that the other party had regarded the Knicks’ work team as American Hua Tuo.

Because even he himself didn’t know about this.

When Wang Song expressed his desire to play more on the court during the break, D’Antoni was confused.

Players come and go, but Wang Song is always there. When he took a 20-point lead in the first quarter, the Asian boy did not intend to take advantage of this time to rest, but insisted on continuing to play.

Originally, D’Antoni thought this was a very absurd thing!

But when he saw that Wang Song’s performance in the second quarter was no less than that in the first quarter, he knew that he did not know the Knicks star thoroughly enough.

The whistle at the end of the half-time sounded, announcing that the Pistons’ abuse activities had come to an end temporarily.

In the eyes of almost all fans, this battle of the kings mountain back in Madison Garden would be a tit-for-tat confrontation.

But the score at halftime told the fans nakedly that this was a massacre without suspense.

30:60!

The Pistons trailed the Knicks by 30 points.

The Knicks, who returned to their home court, showed full aggression, and they fully proved that this Knicks team was far from reaching its ceiling.

Especially the light of New York – Wang Song, who played for 23 minutes and 15 seconds in the first half and scored 31 points.

Halftime massacre!

Larry Brown’s decision became an effective nuclear weapon to add fuel to the flames.

If the previous series between the two teams was more of a confrontation between the teams, then today it has become a confrontation between the Pistons and Wang Song.

You must know that at this point in time, Kobe’s miracle of slaughtering the Bulls in three quarters has not happened yet.

And this miracle staged in the Madison Square Garden directly became a scene that shocked all fans.
