The Point Guard is Here

Fan Xi just simply didn't want a good basketball seedling to die because of this.

He didn't know what he would say to Milicic.

Even... Fan Xi didn't know his current status in the minds of the new generation of players.

Fan Xi is only 26 years old this year, but he has played in the NBA for almost 10 years. In these ten years... how many new generation players grew up watching him play. How many children he has inspired invisibly.

Therefore, this is why many stars will show a highly respected attitude after entering the second half of their careers... This is the accumulation of time.

Although Fan Xi is young, his qualifications are solid.

After Milicic went off, Ben Wallace came up.

The two sides entered the familiar half-court position.

However, tonight, Van Heede did not forcefully control the ball. He let Sprewell control the ball. He did more running without the ball, and even went to ambush the bottom corner.

This saves energy.

Especially after Grant Hill played, the Knicks simply let Hill act as a point forward.

Larry Brown called Fanhee a rogue from the sidelines.

Now, the pressure is all on Detroit's side, and they are 0:3 behind so that they have no way out.

The home fans cheered for the Pistons from the very beginning.

However, the Pistons played very nervously. Although they were extremely active under high pressure, under the Knicks' super one-on-one defense, their offensive efficiency was very low...

Charles Barkley on TV: It's the lack of superstars.

The playoffs are the stage for superstars.

There has always been such a saying in the NBA.

Because under the ultra-high-intensity defense, it is often only possible to rely on superstars to tear up the line of defense and win by relying on personal ability.

Therefore, after the first half, even Fan Xi was 'walking'.

but,

The Pistons still only have a 2-point lead.

38:36.

The scores of the two teams set a record low.

The Pistons are due to low offensive efficiency.

For the Knicks, because of the toughness of the Pistons' defense, Van Heede did not participate in the assault, and Grant Hill and Sprewell dominated the ball most of the time.

In this way, Fan Xi played the effect of supporting war with war.

Back in the locker room, Fan Xi was indeed much more relaxed than in the previous game.

Seeing Fan Xi walking towards the player tunnel with a smile on his face, the Pistons seemed to be scratched by a cat.

Larry Brown's mentality was on the verge of collapse.

If this game can't win the Knicks smoothly, all their dreams are shattered. All the preparations they made for the Lakers will evaporate, and the harsh words they have released before will also become a passing memory.

Are the Knicks really that strong?

Larry Brown reflects on tonight's game, and the past three games.

To be honest, he has always felt that the Knicks are loose and lack structure in their style of play, which is not the logic of a strong team at all.

In the Knicks' two games, he felt that it was because he didn't get the Knicks' running and bombing at the last moment.

In the third game, Fan Xi went berserk, he was amazing... This is something beyond the scope of basketball, and there is no way to comment.

But tonight, why can't we take them down even though they're all like that?

Larry Brown is sad and regretful.

He regretted why he didn't try his best to study the Knicks' style of play before, but put all his energy on the Lakers.

Since the Pacers fell apart, the Pistons believed that there was no longer any opponent in the East. Even though the Knicks played so hot and won consecutive victories, they also felt that the Knicks lacked structural things and were not a real strong team. will be active.

Even if the Knicks swept their opponents in the first two rounds of the playoffs, they thought it was because their opponents were too weak.

But now, when they hand in hand.

Larry Brown always felt that he couldn't get up, the Pistons couldn't play normally, and the Knicks always played super.

Just like fighting chess, the elephant can eat everything, but it can't do anything to the smallest mouse and always gets killed.

Is this the strength of the alliance's new perimeter ruler?

The Pistons could stop Jordan for six years.

Can't we stop Fan Xi for a year now?

Larry Brown was depressed.

Michael Jordan in front of the TV was also very depressed.

Throughout the past season, the New York media have been concocting rumors that Jack Fan will become the league's new perimeter ruler and the new basketball god. At that time, everyone didn't take it seriously, even Jordan thought it was a fantasy.

But now, Fan Xi has really reached the top, and he is only one step away from the finals. He led the group of old, weak, sick and disabled to sweep the Pistons.

Jordan can no longer imagine Fan Xie's historical status after reaching the finals this year.

He even thinks that Vanhey leading New York to the finals this time will be more meaningful than Allen Iverson leading the team to the finals in 2001.

Iverson was close to becoming a god that year.

He won a series of super scoring battles, killing Ray Allen, Pierce, Vince Carter and other super scorers respectively.

This year's Fan Xi is more fierce.

His statistics are also fierce.

The record is also fierce.

If he leads the team to victory tonight, he will become the only player in the history of the Eastern Conference to lead the team to the finals...even Michael Jordan failed to do it.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, the Knicks enter the finals, and their opponent will be the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Lakers also swept into the finals that year, and then was stolen by Iverson in the first game.

This year, will the legend be staged backwards?

In the Pistons' locker room, Larry Brown had settled down.

He has always been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people with his irritable, bossy, stubborn, and tough demeanor. He is the behind-the-scenes instigator who helped Iverson become a god in 2001.

Now, he is no longer strong.

He stood in the middle of the locker room, and he looked at the elite team he had single-handedly managed.

In 2001, he could say that Iverson was not that cooperative with him.

But now, the players are executing according to his tactics.

These are the elites he has carefully selected to integrate tactics.

But why...

Is my strategy outdated?

Is my idea really wrong?

Is it really as Iverson said, modern basketball has turned into giving the ball to the superstar, and then matching him with helpers according to his style, just do it?

Tactics don't really matter much?

For the first time in his career, Larry Brown doubted his coaching philosophy.

Back then, when he and Iverson were fighting so hard that they were almost inseparable from each other, he never doubted himself.

But now, he's really shaken.

He paced back and forth in the middle of the locker room, turning repeatedly.

He looked at the dull players around him.

The players all thought that he would throw a tantrum next time, and Milicic even shrank his body into the locker subconsciously, which was a defensive gesture of protection.

Eventually, however, Larry Brown sighed.

well!

This old and long voice lingered in the dull locker room, everyone raised their heads, and what they saw was an old face.

This face no longer had the paranoid and irritable expression before.

This gives a huge contrast.

At the same time, there was also a great sadness welling up in the hearts of the players.

Is this really the only way to go?

Are the Pistons really going to stop here?

Everyone is asking themselves in their hearts.

Everyone take the time to rest well. In the second half, deal with New York with the best mental state.

That's all Larry Brown said in the end.

He has no more tactics to arrange.

The Knicks didn't play creatively tonight, and they didn't play as well as expected. They just released Van Heede's physical energy.

After three games of confrontation, the coaching staff of both sides have a deep understanding of each other.

According to the analysis of book strength, the Pistons still have an advantage, and they are also in an active position in tactics.

But just can't win.

…

The visiting team's locker room is not as spacious as the home team's locker room, which is the status quo in most arenas in the NBA.

It's also part of the game.

Some nasty arenas don't even provide air conditioning for the visiting team's locker room, nor do they have bathrooms.

The Knicks squeezed into this familiar space.

The players didn't feel happy because they were only 2 points behind in the first half. They didn't form the atmosphere of the Pistons who mourned and won.

But behind the calmness is a madly surging heart.

The Knicks except Fan Xie, Anthony Mason, and Stephen Jackson.

All other players have never touched the championship trophy.

Reggie Miller, Grant Hill, Juwan Howard, Mutombo, Ratliff and other veterans all regard this playoff trip as the last championship in their careers.

They need credit and they make enough money.

Therefore, at this time, their inner turmoil cannot be increased.

What spurs mankind forward is either glory or disgrace.

Tonight, for the Pistons, it was shame that drove them forward.

For the Knicks, it's glory. Glory is my life.

In the second half, the Pistons were going to fight hard.

Fan Xi said quietly and calmly: Don't expect the Pistons' shooting percentage to be so low forever. If we can withstand the pressure and win this game, we can go to the stage of the finals. If we lose this game, the Pistons may lose Find momentum.

We don't yet have the capability to take out the Pistons in an all-out war.

What Fan Xi said was very true.

He has no intention of playing chicken blood in the locker room.

Everyone is an NBA veteran who has played for many years. If Chicken Soup for the Soul is useful, what do you need Lloyd to do.

People are very clear what Fan Xi wants to express.

So, the locker room was quiet.

Even quieter than the Pistons' locker room.

Because here, at least, no old man is sighing.

beep!

The whistle sounded.

The second half of the game started quickly.

The final battle is here.

Charles Barkley said.

Although Kenny Smith was arguing from the side, saying that the Pistons would never lose their second home court and that this could not be the final decisive battle, his concentrated expression still proved that he thought so deep down.

Ratings are also on the rise.

Although the first half was extremely boring.

But this boring game determines whether the Knicks can create a miracle and enter the finals, so the audience is particularly large.

Swish!

The Knicks hit the first goal of the game.

Fan Xie took the ball to the frontcourt, broke through Billups' defense line with a beautiful change of direction, and then went deep into the free throw line to attract pincers and quickly passed the ball. Reggie Miller ran around the bottom line to the bottom corner , Vanhee passed the ball.

Reggie Miller hit 3 points.

The old Miller's touch in the first half was terrible, but in the second half, he recovered his touch.

Easy side to fight again.

Swish!

The Pistons also hit 3 points.

It was Prince who used the screen to run to the bottom corner, almost in the exact same position, and Prince's shooting posture was not as good as Reggie Miller's, but the goal worked.

Looking back, Sprewell made a strong drive into the penalty area and made a throw.

Hamilton ran out of space, received a pass from Billups and made a shot.

Fan Xie passed the ball to Howard in the penalty area, and Howard made a layup.

Billups hit a high jumper.

Fan Xi entered the penalty area and made a layup in the pinch.

Rasheed Wallace swung Howard and went to the basket for a dunk.

Fan Xie passed to the Madman, and the Madman passed back to Fan Xie, and Fan Xie made a jump shot.

…

The two sides actually entered into a dazzling confrontation.

The players of the Pistons continued to complete their offenses as if they suddenly found a shooting spree.

The Knicks were also very efficient here, suddenly running like a precision machine, hitting shots without stopping against the tenacious defense of the Pistons.

The play of both sides became brilliant.

The home fans were overwhelmed.

TV viewers also felt a strong visual impact, and the dazzling offensive made their senses take off.

Charles Barkley said directly: This is the highest level of competition.

Six minutes into the third quarter.

The two sides tied.

The two teams did not call a timeout at this time, and did not make personnel adjustments. It was like two sharp swordsmen slashing at each other crazily, and it depended on who could persist until the end.

The so-called enemy does not move and I do not move.

However, in the seventh minute of the game, Sprewell entered the penalty area and was shot hard by Ben Wallace. The madman is crazy, even if he loses his center of gravity, he still insists on throwing the basketball... So, his head hit the ground first.

boom!

He hit the ground heavily, and the referee next to him saw his facial features distorted.

Quickly ask for a timeout.

The madman smacked the ground twice.

Everyone was very worried.

At this time, the madman stood up by himself.

The referee stopped the game long ago.

He went to the referee: I'm fine! I'm fine!

But the pace did not go out of a straight line, and some staggered, like a boxer who has been hit hard.

He also patted his head: My head is made of iron, he repeatedly emphasized.

The more he emphasizes this, the more the referee can't let him play.

We all know that the whole world knows that madmen have bad brains.

He may be ill.

More likely a concussion.

Judging from the rapidly bulging lump on the back of his head, he was seriously injured, and there might be fluid in his head.

The referee quickly asked the Knicks team doctor to come up.

The team doctor's face was very ugly.

He also wasn't sure if the madman could still fight.

The madman himself said that he had no problems at all, not even a skin trauma, and kept hitting himself on the head.

But the referee dared not take the risk.

After the last game, some human rights organizations criticized the league for forcing Fan Xie, who was exhausted, to play the game.

Now, Madman has more or less a concussion. If something happens, the NBA can't help it.

Therefore, he directly banned Sprewell from playing next.

This time, the Knicks are not good.
