Chapter 468: Thick Accumulation and Thin Hair

Although there is still a lot of time left in the game, although the situation on the court is now tilting towards his side with the awakening of the Knicks players, Van Gundy is still a little worried in his heart!

With the addition of Kidd and Jefferson this season, the Nets have instantly transformed from a weak team to a strong contender for the championship, and once they wake up from their temporary panic, even if they only rely on Kidd and Martin, it is not easy to deal with! At this time, the Knicks can only maintain a sufficient offensive success rate to deal with the opponent.

Now the biggest weakness of this Nets is that the interior strength is not strong, Collins is a floor stream, Kenyon Martin is talented but still a rookie after all, as for that Jacques Vaughn, in addition to having a set on offense, it is more like a black hole than a black hole when defending and protecting rebounds.

Van Gundy took a fancy to this and decisively let the Knicks play the interior, in order to use McDyce's experience to force the Nets' interior.

Although McDyess has lived up to the courage of the year, his steps are not as flexible as before, and he does not have the strength of Darmsporter, but his experience is definitely a few streets away from all the interior lines on the court, and his skills are also the best among all the interior players on the court.

As for Dampot, Van Gundy believes that the Haitians will be able to deal with Corinthians even if they have no one to protect them.

At this moment, the balance of the game has begun to creep in favor of the Knicks. Although the team is still 10 points behind, Van Gundy believes that this gap will soon be gone.

Sure enough, the Nets just relied on Kidd and Martin's pick-and-roll cooperation, and Kidd hit a three-pointer. But soon the Knicks fought back, and this time it was Billups who hit a three-pointer. Flounder, who has always had a high IQ, also saw the coach's tactical intentions, and didn't care about whether he could shoot or not, and immediately shot when he received the ball.

"Bang!"

The ball didn't go in, but with Dampoter's card as a cover, the rebound was still firmly controlled by McDyce. If the Nets' interior line could be a little stronger, McDyce wouldn't have had so much trouble grabbing rebounds. But the problem now is that the Nets' two major interior lines are both to have strength or power, to bounce without bounce, and to have experience without experience.

McDyce grabbed the rebound, as he was a little far from the basket this time, and Kenyon Martin was eyeing him right in front of him. So McDyce wisely didn't choose to shoot, but put the ball back in Billups' hands.

"Whew!" Billups made a second attack and finally made this three-point shot.

The margin between the two sides was also reduced to single digits due to McDyes' back-to-back rebounds.

In the next few attacks, both sides maintained a high shooting percentage. It's just that the Knicks have protected their backcourt rebounds well due to the awakening of McDyes, an All-Star.

The team that controls the rebounds has the key to opening the door to victory! In this way, the score gap between the two sides began to narrow little by little. At the end of the third quarter, the Nets were only five points ahead of the Knicks, which is really nothing in the NBA.

The Knicks fans at the scene cheered, the bursts of abuse at the end of the second quarter were gone, and now there were only cheers, and McDyce, who replaced Lamar at the Knicks power forward position, also enjoyed the treatment of a hero.

In less than a quarter, the former All-Star power forward actually played the most exciting performance since joining the Knicks: 3 of 3 shots, 6 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block!

Although this statistic may seem ordinary, it is a comparison of McDyce's performance in the first half: 2-of-7 shooting, 5 points, 3 rebounds, 1 steal and 2 turnovers. That's why the audience began to cheer for this old guy!

"I really didn't expect this guy McDyce to retain so much energy, it seems that the injury didn't knock the guy down!" Jeff Van Gundy looked at the statistics handed over by the Knicks statistician, a little unable to believe his eyes.

It's not just Van Gundy who thinks it's incredible, even Lamar didn't expect McDies to have such a performance, if the team's biggest contributor to the team's scoring in the third quarter, then McDeyes deserves it.

The reason why Lamar preferred to trade away from Withers to get this old guy in his own trade is that he knows that this guy still has a lot of energy in his body, otherwise he would not have replaced Big Ben as the starting point of the Pistons after Big Ben left!

"Thick and thin, it seems that this guy has been suppressed to a certain extent because of himself and Davis!"

"The advantage is now back on our side. ”

In the Knicks' lounge area at the Madison Square Garden arena, Van Gundy summoned the players to his side. It seems that he is also a little excited, the team's state is very poor during this time, seeing that the Knicks were squeezed down by the opponent from the top three positions in the East, and recently he was almost about to say goodbye to the playoffs due to consecutive defeats, of course his mood will not be too good!

Jeff Van Gundy knows that what the Knicks need most now is a win, a win against a strong team! The Nets are the best target, as long as they can win the Nets, Van Gundy has absolute confidence to take the team into the playoffs without Lamar.

The Knicks' players were also excited. This game is their chance to prove themselves to Lamar, no one is like the one who has been eliminated, and if they want to occupy a place in the team, they must show their real skills! Defeating the Nets is the best opportunity.

"Now they're starting to mess up, and that's our good chance, and in the final quarter, we're going to go big and tear the New Jersey Nets apart, you know?"

Jeff Van Gundy began to cheer up his players.

"Yes!" the players replied in unison.

"Very good!" Van Gundy nodded with satisfaction, and then continued: "Samuel, your task is to protect the rebounds for a while, even if your position is not good, you have to find a way to jam the Nets' interior line and create opportunities for McDyce! Antonio, if you have a good opportunity, don't be soft! The team's first point of attack, you are in charge, no problem, right?"

When McDice heard that he could actually be the core of the team's offense, he couldn't help but feel excited, and quickly began to show loyalty: "No problem! Coach, leave it to me! That floor stream and rookie are not my opponents." ”

"Okay! I'm sure you can do it. Samuel, once McDyce gets the ball, you're going to have to do a good job of protecting Collins or Kenyon Martin, it's not that hard for you, is it?!"

Van Gundy then set out his team's overall defensive strategy without waiting for the Haitians to answer: "Next, our first goal is to equalize. ”

The game restarted, players from both sides came on the court, and the Nets made the first adjustment, and three-point shooter Pagett was replaced by Jacques Vaughn, who was inactive in the third quarter. It's just that with this guy who is also strong on offense and weak on defense, and Padgett's offensive methods are more monotonous, will such a change for the Nets have an effect?

Scott certainly knows what he's doing, but the team is facing a lot of injuries right now, and he has so few cards at his disposal.

"Looks like they're going to fight hard. Seeing Padgett play, Billups already sensed some of the messages Scott was unleashing.

Alan Houston also immediately understood the Nets' tactical ideas, and his face was cold: "The final competition of basketball games is nothing more than to see who scores more, is it so easy for them to fight with us to score?"

"But Jason isn't easy to deal with, Chaunse, your task tonight is not easy at all. With that, Alan Houston began to run towards the Nets' half.

Billups couldn't relax his shoulders, walked to the baseline to receive Battier's pass, calmed his nervousness a little, and slowly advanced towards the Nets' half.

Kidd came up as Billups crossed the halfway line and the two top defenders met once again. Kidd has always been playing against Billups before, but now the form on the court has quietly changed, and the mentality of the two people is very different, so the result is naturally a little different.

The reason why Billups is known as Mr. Key with a big heart in later generations, in addition to his three-point kung fu at critical moments, is his calm performance at critical times in the game, Chauncey's ability to dribble the ball is not as gorgeous as many guards, but simple and practical, as long as the ball is in his hands, it is almost impossible for others to cut it off.

Billups changed hands behind two backs in a row, and then connected with a pull ball and half turned to break through in the opposite direction, which was a defensive master as strong as Kidd, and there was no way to face such a breakthrough, but Kidd was stunned by Billups from his side

"Supplement!" Kidd quickly reminded his teammates loudly after knowing that he couldn't stop Billups. However, the immediate consequence of Kidd's actions was that the Nets' under-the-basket defense was wide open.

Kenyon Martin only pounced on a step forward and regretted it, and when he tried to go back to defend McDyce, he ran into a solid wall of flesh head-on.

Standing in his way was Dampot, and the Haitian took his position in the spot where Martin was recovered just as Kenyon Martin took his first step. Billups also took advantage of this opportunity to pass the ball to McDyce's hand with a blow.

After receiving the ball, McDyce didn't even feel like a daunting, and jumped directly at Collins and shot a shot.

Dampotter saw that McDyess had lived up to his block, and twisted his ass in joy.

Alan Houston couldn't help but shudder when he saw the Haitian people's funny behavior: "What the hell is this bastard thinking? The game is not over yet." ”

Billups looked envious, and said with emotion: "Youth! What a fiery youth! A guy like this will never have a troubled day." ”

The New York fans at the scene were naturally thunderous with joy, they had not watched the game with such a relaxed mood for a long time. Although the team is still three points behind their opponents, everyone is convinced at the moment that it is no longer a problem and they just need to enjoy the game.
