"You can't play now."

Donny Walsh stopped Li Zhen when he asked to play immediately.

The Detroit Pistons played very tough throughout the third quarter, and the intensity of physical confrontation was a level higher than before. Not only did Stephon Marbury fall down many times during the confrontation. Others like Crawford, Nate Robinson, David

Lee, Jeffries and others also fell to varying degrees, and even Crawford's entire left arm was bruised.

Coupled with the terrifying sound pressure at the home court.

Donnie Walsh was really scared. He didn't want Li Zhen to take the risk. As Marbury said in the locker room, if Li Zhen suffered an injury that affected his entire career in this game, the Knicks

The next ten years are going to be rough.

As the club president, he doesn't want to take such a risk.

While Donnie Walsh was talking, Stephon Marbury was brought down again during the breakthrough, and Hamilton pushed him in the middle.

This is a wrong defensive move.

Marbury, who was extremely exhausted, staggered and fell to the ground.

However, the referee blew the whistle and issued a foul. The Pistons players, who were rushing towards the ball like vicious dogs, stopped working.

They stood up angrily, not showing any kindness at all, and even questioned the referee about where the ball was fouled.

Shameless!

Li Zhen gritted his teeth.

Marbury was pulled up by Swift. The power forward who was sent to New York as an addition performed very well tonight.

Bang!

Marbury's first free throw hit the edge of the basket and missed.

His nearly depleted physical fitness is reflected in the strength of his shooting.

But Lao Ma gritted his teeth and continued to shoot free throws... Whoops!

Finally hit the second one.

The score difference was reduced to 71:73.

The Knicks are still 2 points behind.

Marbury relied on this free throw to score his 15th point of the game. He also had 5 rebounds and 5 assists.

"I take my hat off to Marbury for his performance tonight. He showed his tenacious will to fight. Without him, the Knicks would have probably fallen behind by more than double digits tonight," McBrin said emotionally on TV.

said.

"Actually, all New York players performed extremely well tonight. This is why they have been able to hold on to the point difference. To be honest, we have misunderstood the Knicks too much before. These guys really don't understand defense. They

There are many shortcomings that make people laugh. But there is no doubt that they still love basketball." Reggie Miller's words gave a very wonderful footnote to this game.

The game continues.

There are 1 minutes and 01 seconds left in the third quarter.

When the Pistons gathered in groups and arrived in the frontcourt, the Knicks lineup composed of Marbury, Jeffries, Balkman, David Lee, and Swift used the strongest will to stop their iron heel.

Their defensive tactics were seen through by Sanders at a glance.

It's pure man-to-man marking.

Everyone bites their opponent like a pit bull.

Although the Pistons' tactics were complete, in the face of such a tenacious will, they finally chose to let Rasheed Wallace play alone with his personal strength... Whoops!

Wallace's difficult turnaround jump shot hit the basket.

75:71.

The Palace of Auburn Hills was in a state of excitement.

This is the strength of the Detroit Pistons.

This is also a fact that everyone knows.

But the audience in front of the TV can't help but be moved by the New York Knicks.

As the famous writer Haruki Murakami said: Between a tall, solid wall and an egg crashing into the wall, I will always stand on the side of the egg.

This is the commonality of human emotions.

But those emotions will never help the brutal situation the Knicks now face.

Stephen Marbury launched another attack. He was like an old knight, riding a skinny horse and holding a rusty spear. He once again launched a weak attack against the copper and iron walls of the Auburn Hills Palace.

Plop!

Marbury, who was moving forward inexorably, fell inside the free throw line again, still under Hamilton's defense.

Hamilton withdrew his stool when Marbury quickly exerted his strength. He left Marbury with nothing to rely on. He lost his center of gravity and could only fall to the ground.

Fortunately, before he fell, he handed the basketball to Balkman, who was cutting through the air. The immature sophomore faced Rasheed Wallace's tough defense and finally won the basketball with a slight advantage.

Thrown from the fingertips of the Roaring Heavenly Lord... swish!

When the basketball hit the net, Balkman staggered to the ground and fell back two steps. Fortunately, the referee stretched out his hand to steady him.

All Knicks players are working hard.

"I can't stand here with peace of mind. I am the leader of this team. A leader should be at the forefront of the battlefield."

Li Zhen told Isaiah Thomas very seriously.

Thomas looked at the timer above his head: 32 seconds left.

"You come back in the fourth quarter." The Smiling Assassin told Li Zhen.

Li Zhen was very anxious, but could only wait.

The Pistons in the frontcourt are still organizing a tight attack and defense. They play at a high pace in the half-court position and keep running back and forth to cut the line.

All the fans at the scene stood up and shouted in unison to cheer for the home team. beat-ny! beat-ny!

The home field was huge.

After discussion, the Pistons players decided to let Hamilton play in isolation. The person guarding Hamilton at this time was Stephon Marbury. Hamilton is known for his physical strength. He is the player who runs the most in the NBA for three consecutive seasons. He seems to have endless possessions.

physical strength.

Therefore, after receiving the basketball, he directly used his body to attack Marbury's defense.

Marbury was knocked back repeatedly.

The surrounding fans also burst into bursts of mocking laughter. They looked at Marbury like a monkey being teased.

This made Li Zhen even more angry.

At this moment, when Hamilton made Marbury take two steps back with a fierce collision, he finally stopped, turned around and took off... But at this moment, Marbury, who was hit by him, burst out.

With unexpected strength, he struck out quickly and violently.

Using the action of a football player diving to save the ball, he punched Hamilton's basketball directly, and the basketball rolled down.

Balkman, who was next to him, had quick eyesight and quick hands. He quickly jumped down, grabbed the basketball and threw it towards Jeffress.

Jeffries grabbed the basketball and controlled the rhythm.

This action, which was like a rugby tackle, made Li Zhen moved, admired and worried at the same time. It wasn't until Stephon Marbury stood up from the ground with gritted teeth that his heart in his throat calmed down a little.

Then, Marbury slowly moved forward with the basketball, and he nailed it outside the three-point line. He wanted to use the last 15 seconds to hit a buzzer beater to tie the team's 2-point difference.

But at this time, Li Zhen heard the harsh noise again.

The bastard named Johnson next door was still making obscene remarks there. He kept attacking Marbury. He said that Marbury was an asshole and a judoka who should have been sent off a long time ago. He should not be in the NBA and so on...

….

These harsh accusations made Li Zhen furious.

At this moment, Hamilton suddenly launched a sneak attack on Marbury. He directly locked Marbury's path and tried to strangle Marbury in his defense.

However, the moment he swooped up, Marbury suddenly ducked and passed Hamilton with a classic defender's rossover, just as he was about to leave suddenly.

Hamilton made a surprising move. He suddenly and covertly pushed Marbury. At that time, Marbury's steps staggered under the influence of gravity.

Li Zhen secretly cursed despicably at that time.

But Hamilton bullied him again. He forcefully knocked Marbury away, which made Marbury worse and fell to the ground. He grabbed the basketball and ran straight to the frontcourt.

And he suddenly took off from outside the three-point line and shot the basketball jumper...the basketball drew a beautiful arc.

After the lights behind the backboard turned red... swoosh!

Basketball hit.

This buzzer-beater allowed the Pistons to extend their lead to 5 points.

At the same time, Hamilton became a hero cheered by the Palace of Auburn Hills.

After Hamilton scored, he turned around and slashed his throat toward the Knicks bench.
