Four Hundred and Thirteen: Sweep Again and Create History
Milicic released all his grievances this year and walked away gracefully, leaving behind a figure that made the whole world stunned.
The Palace of Auburn Hills was in shock, and the home fans couldn't believe what they were seeing.
It was a sudden thrill.
At a critical moment in the game, Milicic, a soft-looking guy, actually grabbed the head coach's neck and acted like a madman in front of the whole world.
Larry Brown is no Kasimov.
Maybe it was because Milicic didn't strangle him hard, but just grabbed his neck and shook him in a ventive way.
Therefore, he was furious and shouted at Milicic's back: Your future is gone! Don't even think about beating me for another second! !
Larry Brown showed the aura of 'I can't live without him'.
This actually confirmed the fact that he suppressed Milicic.
Over the past year, everyone has seen Larry Brown's performance against Milicic. After everyone stopped and thought about it, they all felt that although this incident was unexpected, it was reasonable...
Larry Brown's abuse, yelling, roaring, mental oppression, and court suppression of Milicic over the past year is like gravel being thrown into a vat of rice.
Although people think of Milicic's soft character and Larry Brown's strong attitude, they feel that this gravel has long been sifted out during the rice washing process.
But tonight, in the most crucial moment of the most important game, Larry Brown got that grit and his tooth chipped away.
He lost all face.
Milicic's madness made the world see Larry Brown's incompetence in player management.
Even though he and Iverson had such a bad fight, people still thought his authority was controllable.
Now, Milicic used a 'suicide attack' to give the famous coach a loud slap in the face in front of the whole world.
Regardless of the outcome of this game, Larry Brown has lost face.
He never dreamed that the little coward whom he had scolded to the point of feeling inferior and autistic would actually give him the most fatal blow.
He was so angry that he had to take out some sedative medicine from his pocket to regain his composure.
At this time the game is still going on.
The Pistons' performance on the court has obviously also been affected.
Rasheed Wallace's layup was actually blocked. Ratliff showed his hard work. He swooped up and used his precise sense of basketball to knock Wallace's basketball off the court.
The Knicks' momentum was boosted.
The Pistons were affected by Milicic's incident.
Hamilton's subsequent shot also missed.
With the rebound protected, Fanshie launched a lightning-quick decapitation offensive. He rushed to the frontcourt and passed to Reggie Miller.
Uh-huh!
Reggie Miller hit a 3-pointer.
The score expands further.
Beep!
Larry Brown quickly requested a timeout. He had to calm down the matter quickly. He had to tell his players not to be chaotic and not to be confused by Milicic's back stab.
"We can win this wave, the advantage lies with me!"
Larry Brown spoke very seriously to the players on the bench, even though the score difference widened further.
The Knicks' situation is indeed not very good, although they are leading. However, everyone was breathing heavily.
But at this time, the audience in front of the TV thought that the Knicks were about to make history.
Including the TV station's Charles Barkley, Barkley shouted there: "If Jack Fan and the Knicks reach the Finals with a 16-0 victory, he will be the first person in the history of the Eastern Conference playoffs and the first in the history of the league. People. No one has ever done such a great thing. I mean being invincible since the All-Star Game. Such a championship can at least compare to Jordan's two championships. "
Charles Barkley always gravitated toward Fancy.
Kenny Smith thinks Barkley is funny. He said that the Knicks are at the end of their game and there is no new force without Sprewell.
Barkley said Milicic's departure would also make it difficult for the Pistons to face fast breaks.
He also mocked Larry Brown for his incompetence in management: "Times have changed. Today's new generation of players are not the little guys who were beaten and scolded in the past. They have been treated very well since they were young. Larry Brown still wants to use them." That kind of humiliating education to gain authority only results in this kind of chokehold.”
"Larry Brown is old."
Barkley teased poor Larry Brown mercilessly.
Beep!
The whistle sounded and the game continued.
The Pistons did not deliberately adjust the lineup. Larry Brown has made a determined decision. His instructions to the players are: stick to the position and fight hard.
He firmly told the players: The Pistons will never lose, and victory belongs to the tougher side.
Larry Brown was screaming hoarse, and Milicic's backstab brought his spirit to the edge of collapse.
He has to win this.
The Pistons are living up to what Larry Brown preaches.
They returned to the court and deliberately sought physical confrontation. Even Ben Wallace got stuck in the paint area and asked for the ball... Asking for the ball was not to finish, but to consume the Knicks' physical energy.
This move is a bit damaging.
But Fan Xi took the initiative.
Fanci quickly went to press Billups, although this would increase his physical output.
However, he must stand up.
Billups became a little difficult under his pressure. He spent a few seconds and passed to Hamilton. Hamilton feinted a shot and passed to Prince.
Prince shoots.
Uh-huh!
hit.
The Pistons slipped away.
After the goal, the Knicks decisively launched a run and gun attack.
However, during the sprint, Fan Xi obviously found that his teammates could no longer keep up.
Therefore, he went his own way, went straight to the penalty area, and sent the basketball into the basket during the collision with Hamilton.
Fanshi stepped up, in superstar fashion.
Larry Brown was surprised, and he continued to increase the level of consumption.
Fan Xi tried his best to press.
The game entered into a rapid consumption.
Time also continues to pass amidst this high-intensity consumption.
With 3 minutes and 26 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the Knicks still led by 13 points.
But then, he missed four consecutive shots.
Reggie Miller, Grant Hill and Fancy were obviously exhausted.
The three of them almost played the entire game tonight.
Reggie Miller is 39 years old, and although Grant Hill is only 32, he has been injured all year round, so he does not have much physical reserves. He has already tried his best in this game.
Because Sprewell left with a concussion, Fanci had to work two jobs, so his first-half rest was ineffective.
As a result, with 27 seconds left in the game, the Knicks only led by 1 point.
The ball is still in the hands of the Detroit Pistons.
Larry Brown stood on the sidelines with a proud smile. He finally emerged from the shadow of Milicic's chokehold. His strategy was correct and he was happy.
Fans at the Palace of Auburn Hills were also excited.
Originally they thought this game would be a sure defeat, but they didn't expect the Pistons to play steadily and suppress the Knicks in a trade-off manner.
The Knicks have no power to fight back.
Kenny Smith said on TV: "The Pistons lifted the Knicks' fig leaf. The Knicks are like a man who looks very strong, but after closing the door and turning off the lights and lying on the bed, all his weakness is exposed."
Smith laughed heartily.
He felt proud and proud.
It seemed that he was the victor.
Billups took the ball to the top of the three-point arc.
He dribbled the ball slowly, he was no longer in a hurry.
He thought Fanxi would ask for a timeout.
But Fan Xi didn't, and also stopped Isiah Thomas.
Fan Xi supported his knees with both hands and stood at the top of the three-point arc. His face was pale, and sweat was pouring out, covering his whole body.
Everyone can see that Fan Xi is in the weakest state of his career at this moment.
The audience in front of the TV was extremely distressed.
Those fans who love him even want the Knicks to give up this game.
Even the most ardent Knicks fans feel that even if they lose this game, they can accept it and cheer for all Knicks players.
Fanci's women, Jennifer Aniston and Kate Winslet, are very worried about Fanci's condition at the moment. They are all thinking: If Jack gets through this smoothly, I can even give up some principles.
Of course, women are emotional, and emotion is a momentary impulse. This will not affect Fan Xi at all, and they will continue to ask Fan Xi for ammunition after she returns to New York.
Billups was thinking about whether this ball should be executed by himself.
Fan Xi suddenly rushed out.
He was like a weak, skinny tiger. He quickly extended his right hand toward Billups' left side to steal.
Billups chuckled, turning his body slightly... He muttered inwardly... too slow.
When people are tired, their speed is so slow.
Just like the two previous attempts by Fan Xi to steal him, it was doomed to be in vain.
Fan Xi was indeed slow. He failed in his previous two steals.
This time, it seems, it is no exception.
Therefore, Billups turned his back confidently and boldly. He thought that his strong and abundant body could easily withstand Fan Xi, even knock Fan Xi down, and then he could easily complete a kill, and maybe even win. Being able to step over Fan Xi who fell down... completed a beautiful pretense.
Therefore, Billups' shoulders are leaning back heavier.
Because he wants to make the strongest confrontation.
However, when he turned his back, Fan Xi's left hand slapped him from the other side.
Billups still didn't take it seriously, and he subconsciously changed his direction.
But the moment it changed direction.
Fan Xi's left hand, which should have been on the right side of his body, suddenly came out from under his crotch... Bang!
Accurately hitting the basketball, the basketball was beyond his control at that time.
He rushed to chase the ball... but against his own center of gravity.
Because Billups wanted to strengthen his resistance, he moved his upper body very far back and used a lot of force. When he lost control of the basketball, he suddenly moved forward against the trend of his center of gravity... and he staggered at that time.
At this time, Fan Xi, who was very weak behind him, got the strength from nowhere, and he rushed forward quickly... and even took Billups with him.
Billups himself was under a strong conflict with his center of gravity, and he could barely stabilize his body while staggering.
However, when the last straw came...Fan Xi's impact, although not very powerful...but crushed Billups' center of gravity...poof.
Billups fell to the ground, forming a 'world famous painting'.
Fan Xi sprinted past him and grabbed the basketball.
Hamilton hurried forward to pursue.
Fan Xi's speed is not as fast as before.
However, just when Hamilton was trying his best to catch up, Fanxi took off from outside the three-point line and shot... Fanxi used all his strength, he aimed at the basket... and fired!
boom!
The basketball drew a very flat arc and hit the front of the basket amid the prayers of the audience.
The Palace of Auburn Hills was about to experience a little bit of happiness.
A figure that probably shouldn't be in the paint rushed in quickly.
It's Grant Hill.
Grant Hill jumped up, and he exerted force while Hamilton was chasing. He was a little slower than Hamilton, but he persevered and reached the penalty area early.
But when he jumped up to make a tip-in.
The rebounded basketball fell straight into the basket again... Whoops!
God is on New York's side.
96:92.
The Knicks took a 4-point lead thanks to Fanci's legendary goal.
Reversal of form in one fell swoop.
There are only 5.3 seconds left.
The Pistons ran out of timeouts.
Larry Brown wasted a timeout when Milicic choked him.
He finally fell into Milicic's hands.
Larry Brown used his caddy to clear space on the court and ran to the sidelines to improvise tactics.
But, this time.
The New York Knicks replaced Reggie Miller and Grant Hill. They replaced all of Juwan Howard and Anthony Mason, paired with Ratliff and Mutombo.
Form four walls.
Mutombo stood on the sidelines and interfered with the Pistons' serve. Uncle Mu's long hands and feet played a huge role.
The Pistons, under duress, handed the basketball to Prince.
Prince rushed to rush with the ball, but was chased desperately by Anthony Mason. Seeing that he was about to be forced to the sideline, he quickly passed the basketball.
A little rushed.
Snapped!
The basketball was caught by Juwan Howard with his finger halfway, and the path changed. Fan Xi rushed up and fought with Ben Wallace. Both of them rolled to the ground and grabbed the basketball with four hands.
Ben Wallace took the basketball away with great force, but when it was passed... beep!
The whistle sounded.
competition is over.
The coffin is sealed.
4:0.
Detroit Pistons OUT!
The Knicks do wonders.
Fanci lay weakly in the center of the Palace Arena at Auburn Hills, smiling.
Lying next to him was his little brother, Ben Wallace.
Ben Wallace's face was filled with despair as the whistle blew.
Then, he turned and looked at Fan Xi.
This is the boss he has always admired most.
In his heart, a trace of confidence rose in the midst of extreme despair, and he was thinking: Fortunately! fortunately! Luckily Jack beat me and I was at least able to live with it.
At this time, he suddenly asked Fan Xi another question.
He said, "Jack, if I knocked you over at the end of last game. Would you blame me?"
"No." Fan Xi said calmly.
well!
Ben Wallace sighed and said: Maybe the result is different.
"No." Fan Xi told him with a firm tone: "You can't hit me. If you really followed Larry Brown's instructions at that time, I also had a plan prepared in advance."
Ben Wallace was stunned at first.
Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
He figured it out.
No more confusion.
At this time, all the Knicks players rushed over, lying next to Fanshi and yelling.
Ben Wallace felt a little embarrassed. He wanted to stand up, but found that there was no space.
So, he rolled around silently, avoiding the lively Knicks.
