The Point Guard is Here

Milicic is fast, tall, has certain offensive skills, and has certain defense.

Perhaps he will be bullied by other insiders due to lack of confrontation and experience in positional offense.

However, when he encountered the Knicks' run-and-gun lineup, he was on full fire... He faced Stephen Jackson and Grant Hill, two outside players, although they were slightly taller than ordinary outside players.

But compared with Milicic, who has a net height of 216, there is no doubt that he is not on the same level.

The Knicks fell into passivity in the next two rounds.

The Pistons relied on Milicic's performance to recover and overtake the score.

However, Fanshiy rushed in directly after that. He directly knocked Milicic away from his defense and completed a dunk, creating 2+1.

This action caused boos from the audience, and Detroit's blue-collar workers roared the black whistle at the top of their lungs, creating pressure on the referees.

At this time, Milicic has changed from a parallel import in their eyes to a little treasure.

There is no room for 'bullying'.

Fan Xi didn't care about this, he easily hit the extra penalty.

And 'warn' Milicic: I'm watching you, kid.

After playing in the NBA for ten years, Fan Xi also started to use some psychological pressure methods: No one can escape this rule: when people become adults, they will become what they hate...

The fragile Milicic became a little panicked, he was very afraid of Fan Xi. Fanci once beat the European King to a pulp, and Milicic felt the same way. In his heart, he even treated Fanci as a super idol.

Now that his idol is targeting him, can he not be nervous?

But in fact, Fan Xi was at the end of his strength at this time.

Today's Fan Xi can be regarded as a regular hexagon tactic in terms of talent, but maybe his speed and physical fitness are not at the top level.

But playing against the Pistons, the most important thing is physical fitness.

Fan Xi was at the end of her last game and had to hold on with willpower.

Now the Pistons have another variable,

Milicic's appearance relieved the Pistons' tactics and allowed them to use tactics more calmly.

Fan Xi couldn't help but take a psychological offensive against this little guy.

Jordan did this kind of thing a lot back then.

Fanshie's words had some impact. After Milicic returned to half court, he missed a layup when faced with Fanshie and Hill. However, the rebound was grabbed by Rasheed Wallace, who made up the basketball. Got in.

The Pistons' inside advantage is still there.

Although Milicic was a little nervous, Larry Brown did not scold him bloody this time.

The famously strict head coach even applauded Milicic from the sidelines: Well done, kid. As long as you put the basketball in steadily, no one can stop you. Believe in yourself, you are invincible.

Larry Brown is starting to say this to rookies.

One can imagine what kind of situation the Knicks pushed him to.

Of course, this also gave Milicic an unprecedented boost.

Milicic has been living in the shadow of Larry Brown's irritability for a long time, and he never dared to expect to hear a word of affirmation from Larry Brown's mouth.

But now, Larry Brown not only said it, but he said it very clearly and with true feelings.

Milicic is full of energy.

His depressed mood was infused with a powerful energy.

Little did Larry Brown know at this time that his words of encouragement might even change Milicic's entire career.

Milicic took a defensive position in the half court and waited for Vanchy to invade.

He gritted his teeth and told himself to be brave and tenacious.

When Fan Xi rushed towards him and flew across the sky, he opened his arms and faced him with a fearless attitude... Poof!

The two collided in the air, and the thin Milicic was knocked to the ground awkwardly.

Fan Xi also felt uncomfortable. He could only turn the inevitable dunk into a layup. He threw the basketball... When the basketball was about to fall into the net, Rasheed Wallace jumped up and swatted the basketball. Got out.

The Palace of Auburn Hills was filled with excitement. The home fans thought it was a perfect shot.

However, the keen-eyed referee blew the interference ball.

So, there was another round of boos.

The Pistons' home court even ignited a go against the sky momentum.

They believe that they have been greatly wronged and are about to revolt.

This kind of aggrieved outburst puts real pressure on the referees.

This is called home field advantage.

Many times, humans are disturbed by the external environment and automatically revise some decisions. Because seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is an instinct hidden deep in human genes.

Things are getting tougher for the Knicks.

With less than 3 minutes left in the game, the Knicks replaced Mutombo, but after one round, Larry Brown quickly replaced Ben Wallace on the court.

The two sides fought back and forth for two rounds.

The score was 91:91.

There is 1 minute and 18 seconds left on the clock.

The Knicks requested a timeout.

New York went from absolute dominance in the first quarter of the previous two games to now struggling. Milicic changed the offensive and defensive situation of both sides.

And everyone saw Fan Xi's exhaustion.

After Fanshie forced a break through Billups, he fell to the ground under Prince's defense, although he forced the basketball to Sprewell.

However, he was not pulled up by his teammates until the end of the round.

When he got up, he was pale and out of breath.

The whole world knew that Fan Xi was tired and anxious.

The balance of victory is on the Pistons' side.

And, the advantage of the entire series returned to Detroit.

Larry Brown couldn't be happier.

He told his players: Next, we must strengthen our defense against Fanshie. If necessary, we can give him one or two tough fouls to make him unable to straighten up.

Larry Brown is a very iron-blooded head coach. In his coaching rules, victory is the truth.

The players will strictly implement his tactics.

But at this time, Ben Wallace frowned.

If it were normal, if it were any other player, he would commit severe fouls as long as it could help the team win. But facing Fan Xi, he was unwilling to do this.

It's not because of sportsmanship, but because he doesn't want Fan Xi to get injured.

Beep!

When the whistle blows.

The Knicks used a lineup of Fansheed, Sprewell, Reggie Miller, Grant Hill, and Ratliff.

The Pistons use a lineup of Ben Wallace, Rasheed Wallace, Prince, Hamilton, and Billups.

When he came on the field, Ben Wallace deliberately walked towards Fan Xi. He whispered to Fan Xi: Be careful.

When Ben Wallace said this, Fan Xi immediately understood what it meant.

After being in the league for so long, I still know some of the ‘hidden rules’.

Ben Wallace's kind reminder made him understand immediately.

He was wary.

Grant Hill handed the basketball to Fancy.

Fan Xi shook his head to make himself clearer and stronger in willpower.

Just now on the bench, Fan Xi wiped his face with ice water and pressed it on the top of his head. The cold feeling could quickly increase his concentration and willpower.

Billups pressed forward.

Larry Brown kept yelling from the sidelines, reminding Billups to bite up, bite up.

Billups and Fanci have a good relationship.

However, at this time, he couldn't care about anything else.

He also has his basketball dream, he also wants to prove himself, he also wants to become a championship, and he also wants to increase his commercial value after winning the finals MVP.

People are selfish.

In the face of huge fame and fortune, no one can hold back their eagerness to move.

Tethering the mental ape is something that only a saint can do.

Billups pushed forward forcefully, and pulled Fanshie's right arm with his left hand, intending to knock Fanshie directly over... Regardless of whether the referee blew the whistle or not, the Pistons would win the initiative again.

Unexpectedly, he just grabbed Fan Xi's right hand.

Fan Xi suddenly made a sudden spin, dribbling the ball, and passed Billups completely along the left side of Billups... It looked a bit like Billups was deliberately cooperating.

Human beings are like this. When they ask for something, they will inevitably reveal their flaws.

Obsession can make a person strong, but it can also expose vulnerabilities.

Although Fan Xi's body was exhausted to the extreme, his brain was also working extremely fast.

He quickly passed Billups and went straight to the frontcourt.

Hamilton quickly swooped in to help defend. He was like a dead soldier running on the battlefield, trying to strangle Fanci out of the position with a charging attitude.

But his big opening and closing were passed by Fan Xi's change of direction, which was as soft as a finger.

Fan Xi entered a completely open position. He took off from the free throw line and shot... his movements were extremely gentle.

Uh-huh!

Fan Xi hit 2 points.

There is still 1 minute and 5 seconds left.

The Knicks lead by 2 points.

Larry Brown threw his hands angrily on the sidelines and yelled at Billups and Hamilton on the court. He claimed that Hamilton was a stupid donkey.

Hamilton lowered his head as he scolded him.

Larry Brown is Caesar on the basketball court. He always uses violent words to urge players to move forward.

Milicic sat silent on the sidelines, fear coming from his heart.

He realized that what the coach did was wrong, but he did not dare to speak out.

The Pistons attacked.

At Larry Brown's behest, the Pistons played at an unusually slow pace.

Moreover, Larry Brown asked Billups to fight Fanci in singles and engage in high-intensity physical confrontation.

Larry Brown knew very well that all he had to do was get Fanci.

This game is won.

In the next series, the Knicks will not be able to escape.

The Pistons will have an absolute advantage throughout the series.

Billups strictly implemented Larry Brown's strategy. He changed his previous strategy of avoiding Fanshie and forced a confrontation with Fanshie.

This made the New York fans in front of the TV extremely angry.

Their hatred for Billups and the Pistons was overwhelming.

The CCTV host on the other side of the ocean even shouted bluntly: A tiger is bullied by a dog. If Billups and the Pistons hadn't been affected by Fan Xi's physical limitations, would they have dared to fight Fan Xi like this?

His voice and the scenes on the court made the land of China furious, and everyone felt the same.

Although it is said that since ancient times, there has been a saying that a soldier never tires of deceit, but what is the difference between the behavior of the Piston and the villain who adds insult to injury?

puff!

Billups finally pulled Fan Xi suddenly during the third collision. Fan Xi's exhausted body was finally no longer supported by his strong will. He subconsciously stumbled forward and almost fell to the ground.

At this time, Billups successfully passed through his defense and reached the three-point line... Whoops!

He completed his job with a precise two-pointer, and the Palace Arena of Auburn Hills was excited. The audience chanted Billups' name, and the DJ on the scene shouted: Billups deserves the reputation of having a big heart.

How excited Pistons fans are.

The New York fans in front of the TV felt so distressed.

At the same time, Kate Winslet turned on the TV and her heart was twisted into a ball.

Jennifer Aniston had long covered her chest, and she began to reflect on whether she had gone too far towards Jack during this period.

If I hadn't kept asking, would he have more energy now?

Jack, you must be healthy.

As long as you come back healthy, I promise you anything.

Jennifer and Kate's prayers were surprisingly aligned at this moment.

Fan Xi calmed down amid the huge noise, then turned around and told his teammates with firm eyes: I have no problem.

Grant Hill doubtfully passed the basketball to Fanshie.

Reggie Miller, who was standing next to Fanshie, even shed tears. He is a fighter, but at this moment, he even felt a little relaxed: Maybe it will be okay for us to compete for the championship next season. It will be solved during the season.

However, Reggie Miller quickly rushed forward.

He watched Billups come forward again, and he blocked it with his slightly thin body.

He made a solid cover for Fan Xi.

Vansh passed successfully.

Then, Billups swooped up again with his teeth and claws bared.

But Fan Xi used a change of direction to survive.

Fancy rushed to the frontcourt, and Hamilton followed up... The entire Pistons team focused on Fancy under the control of Larry Brown.

Fan Xi passed the basketball.

Sprewell held his ground, and he threw the basketball with great calmness... Whoosh!

The madman has made a contribution.

With 29 seconds left in the game, he made the basketball.

95:93.

The Knicks once again led by 2 points.

And this time.

Beep!

Larry Brown reached out and asked for a timeout.

Larry Brown is a shrewd and experienced player who knows exactly how to make an opponent collapse.

Now, Fan Xi is obviously unable to survive. For him, pausing at this time... will quickly loosen his defenses and break his will.

Players who are slightly less determined will not even be able to stand up again once they sit down.

That's what Larry Brown was betting on.

He wanted Fan Xi to be unable to interfere with this game.

As long as Fan Xi can't play.

As long as the Pistons win this.

It was only a matter of time before Detroit advanced to the Finals in three consecutive cities.

For Larry Brown, there was no room for error. Because he has studied the Lakers all season, he believes that as long as he leads the team to the finals, the championship will definitely be brought back to the Eastern Conference.

The Knicks will most likely be swept by the Lakers if they enter the Finals.

Therefore, for the glory of the East, Jack Fan, you have to die!

Larry Brown said with great determination deep in his heart.

…

408: For the glory of the East, Jack Fan, you have to die!
