Chapter 189: Equalized

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sound of striking iron keeps ringing from the home team's penalty area!

In the case of the Pistons' interior line swearing to defend the basket, the New York Knicks, who can't play fast-break tactics, can only use the personal ability of Chinese teenager Sun Yi to create opportunities in positional battles. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, the Knicks are a group of shooters who are good at three-point shooting, but they are collectively dumb at the most critical moment. Whether it's Richardson, the team's captain, or this year's league sixth man contender, Al Brown. Harrington, Serbian handsome guy Darko. Milicic or the rising star Wilson. Chandler, in the face of unmarked opportunities, will always miss the goal......

"People have to run a lot, don't stand still and wait for the ball to shoot. I believe in your ability, and you will definitely be able to do ......"

89 to 82! Halfway through the fourth quarter, head coach D'Antoni had used up all of his team's timeouts due to a sudden failure of the team's offense. At this time, the mustache really couldn't think of a better way to solve the problem except to encourage the players a lot.

In fact, the biggest hidden danger of fast break master D'Antoni's coaching tactics is that once the team fails under the opponent's high-pressure defense, it will often enter a vicious circle of unable to attack and defend.

If his tactics are to be successful, the requirements for the ability of the players are very high. A consistent scoring point is obviously not enough, just like today's Chinese rookie Sun Yi basically has no chance to shoot under the Pistons' key care. To open up the situation in this situation, unless there is another player in the team who is at the same level as him.

After all, no team can pack two offensive players at the same time. At present, no player in this young Knicks team can become the most reliable helper of young player Sun Yi.

There's nothing to talk about defensively, and that's never been D'Antoni's area of expertise.

In order to win this game related to playoff qualification, the Knicks Scout, who has done his best, can clearly feel that his inexhaustible physical strength seems to be about to dry up.

Starkey's long-distance running tactics in the first three quarters played a role, and the main thing was that Sun Yi had to sweat more than usual when attacking in exchange for a hard-won open opportunity.

It's a pity that his teammates threw it one after another.

wanted to complain about these brothers who had been with him for a season, but the young Chinese guy couldn't open his mouth. Because he knows that his teammates have done their best. Helplessly, the strength and luck are not good, which leads to the current backward situation.

The home team player who leads the score returns to the field first.

Sun Yi glanced at his two opponents, Afflaro and Prince, one with a strong will and the other with a long arm span. It's really not easy to crack the opponent's bag tactics, but the game is so far, and you can only give it a go.

The Pistons served on the sideline, and Afflalo, who was a temporary guest point guard, dribbled the ball across the half court and handed it directly to Rashid, who was pulled to the outside to respond. Wallace. Immediately afterward, Hamilton, who was out of position, went along the touchline to ask for the ball.

Just as all the Knicks players were focusing on the opposing mid-range shooting king, Prince, who had been silent in the game, quietly stepped inside.

The Pistons' series of pass-and-run combinations completely disrupted the Knicks' defensive formation. Just as Prince was near the free-throw line, Wallace was smart enough to pass the ball that was held high overhead......

As a defensive barrier for the Knicks inside, Kwame. Brown's greatest weakness was immediately exposed. The 01 champion who did not fall behind in a head-to-head confrontation with most of the league's interior line is a center who is not very good at supplementing defense. The flaws in the interpretation of the game led to the super physical fitness of Kwame. Brown has not been able to be the top defensive interior player in the league.

This is also the reason why the Pistons gave up on him in the first place.

In the face of the Knicks' empty interior defense, Prince, who scored to the basket, easily scored two more points for the team with a simple low-handed layup.

91 to 82! The Detroit Pistons, playing at home, continue to extend their lead.

The increasingly dangerous situation made D'Antoni a little desperate and made another gambling substitution.

Kwame. Brown down, Dacko. Milicic on.

Chandler, who had a poor hand, was also replaced by Harrington.

The five Knicks players on the court now all have mid-to-long-range shooting ability. It looks like the mustache, who has run out of options, is going to shoot to the end.

Sun Yi, who had just dribbled to the top of the arc, was immediately attacked by his opponent. Due to his teammates' poor outside hand today, the Knicks, who were desperate for victory, decided to try individual offense.

The Knicks, who controlled the ball, had to deal with Afflaro's aggressive close-quarters defense while also having to watch out for Prince's elusive long-arm sneak attack.

The Chinese youngster, who made several disguised acceleration moves in a row, finally found the weak point of the pair after several attempts. Sun Yi noticed that when the opponent implemented the pinch tactic, it was always Afflaro who defended closely, while Prince, who is 2.06 meters tall, never got too close to him. What was he afraid of? Velocity! Speed, of course!

The Chinese rookie, who figured out what was going on, immediately used his skillful ball control ability to lure Aflalo, who was close to him, to the left side of his body, and Prince, who was two steps away, really did not rush up.

If you don't come to me, I'll come to you!

Sun Yi, who found the weakness of the other party, rushed out in an instant.

Prince, who had been waiting to block his opponent's shot, had a flash of surprise on his face. He immediately lowered his defensive focus and retreated to the sidelines.

But the huge difference in speed between the two makes all the efforts of the Pistons' outside defensive core look so ridiculous.

The Chinese teenager who flashed by, and was about to start to hit the basket, suddenly found that the kraft candy-like Afflaro chased after him again.

As we all know, if a player is not completely rid of the defender when he is ready to go to the basket, and when he makes physical contact with the opponent when he starts, then the center of gravity of the offensive player will be difficult to control.

At this time, Sun Yi happened to encounter this situation.

The Knicks, who were interfered with in the first step of the layup, also wanted to use strong waist and abdominal strength to control the center of gravity, but when he took the second step, the other party posted it again. This kind of physical confrontation is not usually a foul that the referee will not blow.

Sun Yi, who gritted his teeth to control the balance, knew in his heart that if he forced the basket now, it would be difficult to guarantee the shooting rate. Just between the lightning and flint, the Chinese teenager who swept his teammates with the corner of his eye, and immediately found David who ran to answer with a pass from the back of his head. Plum.

The Knicks white power forward, who has average athletic ability, has a superior IQ in addition to mid-range shooting and accurate basketball. When he saw that the breakthrough of his Chinese teammates was not going well, he immediately shook off Rashid, who was pestering him. Wallace came to pick him up.

David who received Sun Yi's wonderful pass. Li, did not waste this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to win the investment.

Swish! The ball pulled out by the fingers of the left hand did not have a high arc but accurately hit the bull's-eye.

84 to 91!

The Knicks coach, who looked anxious on the sidelines, clenched his fists excitedly after seeing the goal.

The Pistons served from the baseline, Afflalo dribbled across the half court and passed to Prince, and Hamilton broke away from Richardson's marking, catching the ball and hitting a mid-range shot.

93 to 84!

Sun Yi continued to hold the ball in singles, and just like the last attack, Sun Yi, who leaned on Aflaro with his body, immediately accelerated to break through. In the face of Prince's retreat, the young Chinese teenager did not choose to break through this time. Instead, he took a big step and immediately made a stop-and-go jumper.

As long as the jump is not disturbed, there are few people on this planet who can block Sun Yi's extremely high and long shot.

Swish! In the fourth quarter, the Knicks hit the first shot in the face of the Pistons' defensive combination.

86 to 93!

After Sun Yi found a way to crack the opponent's defensive tactics, the Knicks, who had been suppressed, finally gradually improved.

96 to 99!

With 30 seconds left in the game, the New York Giants, playing away, cut the deficit to three points. Looks. It is not yet known who will die in this game.

The Pistons possessed the ball, and Hamilton dribbled the ball while watching the time of the round. With 10 seconds left, pass to teammate Wallace.

Hamilton, who wanted to play a pass-and-cut match, was unable to get rid of Charlie Desson, who was trying his best. Seeing that the opportunity was not good, Wallace simply tried a three-point shot himself.

Bang! Missed shot!

The physically fit Serbian handsome Milicic received the crucial rebound.

With nine seconds left on the clock, Knicks head coach D'Antoni called a final short timeout.

Everyone pulled away, and Sun Yi executed the order. If your opponent continues to wrap up, you act at the opportunity. "The mustache who was holding the tactics board and explaining loudly was surrounded by the players in the middle.

On the other side, in front of the Pistons coach's bench.

"Tyshawn, when the opponent attacks, don't go and hit that Chinese player. Look on Harrington and don't let him shoot from the outside. Aaron has done a good job before, and I believe you will be able to defend against your opponent's last attack. ”

Because in the final stage of the game, Sun Yi cracked the opponent's bag and trap tactics in a row. Now Pistons coach Michael Brown. Curry no longer has the courage to continue this tactic.

Pause to come back, David. Lee prepares his serve on the sideline in midfield.

All the Knicks players lined up and the referee handed the ball to David. The moment in Lee's hand.

The serve tactics that were practiced countless times in training were activated in the dazzling running of the players.

Aflalo, who was left on the court by the coach in the final moments of the game, knew in his heart that the opponent would definitely find a way to give the ball to the Knicks' No. 8 player, and he could not let the Chinese player get an easy shot in any way.

Sure enough, after a series of covering runs by the Knicks players, Sun Yi, who circled an arc from the opponent's side, received David. Lee's pass.

D'Antoni's improvised tactics have gone well so far.

Hula!

The Pistons, who were highly focused, returned to their respective defense zones as soon as the opponent successfully sent the sideline ball.

The Knicks scouted on the ball, while meditating on the rest of the game in his mind, observed the opponent not far in front of him.

Move forward with your right foot and slightly behind with your left foot to prevent yourself from breaking through with your right hand. Bend your knees slightly, touch the soles of your feet, and look like the other person is ready to speed up at any moment. The arms are in front of you, one in front of you, one behind you. It can threaten the ball without affecting the speed of the block.

I didn't see that this former UCLA star player really has two brushes on defense.

Bang Bang Bang! Syllable!!!

Chirping!

With 4 seconds left in the game, the Knicks Tanhuaxiu, who had been dribbling the ball, suddenly accelerated.

After only one step, he immediately pulled out his hand two steps from beyond the three-point line.

With such a long shooting distance, in fact, Sun Yi is not sure at all. But he has already seen that the other party will never let himself have a chance to shoot close to the three-point line.

Bet! With little game time and a trailing scoreline, the Chinese youngsters had no choice.

Afflaro has been guarding the opponent's three-point shot, but he really didn't expect the Chinese player in front of him to shoot at such a critical moment and from such a distance.

Taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the defenders, Sun Yi, who jumped high, separated his legs in the air, and his arms holding the ball continued to rise along the inertia. With a slight flexion of his right elbow parallel to his brow bone, his wrist flicked and his fingers gently pulled the ball out......

The Auburn Hills Palace Arena, which can accommodate more than 21,000 spectators, fell silent for a moment after the Knicks made a long-range three-pointer.

All the Pistons fans were nervous and involuntarily stood up to watch the game. There are some young fans who are afraid to bury their faces in the arms of their parents......

The high-speed spinning ball didn't make people wait too long, and soon plunged into the white net!

Three-point hit! 99 to 99!

With 1.7 seconds left in the game, the New York Knicks escaped with the brilliant play of the Chinese rookie.

Time out! The Pistons request a timeout!

Knicks players on the court and teammates on the bench flocked to the Chinese rookies who kept the team's hopes of advancing to the playoffs. They celebrated like they had won the game, and countless palms slapped the Chinese guy's head affectionately......

Sun Yi looked at the familiar and kind faces around him, and couldn't help but be glad that his gambling choice was correct.

"Alright, the game isn't over yet!" D'Antoni, who was excited, came to the players' side and said with a smile.

Yes, we haven't won yet. Just let the frenzied celebrations stay after the game is over.

……

"There's still enough time for us to make a final ,......," the Pistons head coach pulled out the strategy board as he cheered on his players.

"Rodney will replace Aaron later." Michael. When Curry was adjusting this substitution, he didn't even look at Afflalo, who was standing next to him. Obviously, the second-year Pistons player who was hit by a key three-pointer by an opponent has completely lost the trust of the head coach, at least in this game.

……

The pause of more than two minutes soon came to an end.

The suspense of this focus battle continues! (To be continued.) )
