Chapter 67: The Beginning of Destruction

After Marbury's strong two-plus-one score, the Knicks' momentum reached a climax, Liu Han is now recognized as the first person in the league, whether it is the All-Star vote or the league's major lists, Liu Han's name is almost on the list, and the All-Star vote is the first, and the votes from all over the world make Liu Han more than double the number of votes than the second place.

It is the dream of almost all young players to be able to perform under Liu Han's defense, although Marbury is no longer young and is a rookie in the same class as Liu Han, but his performance today undoubtedly gives a positive signal to the sinking New York fans.

Liu Han's defense just now is actually not too much of a problem, his position has reached the limit, but the explosive Marbury did show unparalleled strength, his dodge action in the air almost broke through his limit, of course, this ball also has a certain element of luck, if he is allowed to do such a move, even without Liu Han's defense, it is estimated that Marbury will be difficult to score.

Marbury scored a wonderful two-plus-one, and Liu Han naturally couldn't help but say that this kind of ball must respond, otherwise the momentum of the entire team will be affected.

After Marburyga's free throw was made, the Mavericks quickly sent out a baseline ball, and the Knicks players also knew that Liu Han would definitely come by himself with this ball, so they were all ready for it.

After Liu Han came to the front court with the ball, Alan Houston immediately pressed up, but Liu Han accelerated from the right side of his body in disguise when his center of gravity was not stable. Houston was not good at defense and was easily thrown away by Liu Han.

But at this time Knicks' Kate? Thomas had already made up the defense in place, blocking Liu Han's way to continue to move forward, but Liu Han's left foot suddenly turned one hundred and eighty degrees to bypass Thomas, and at the same time let Alain? Houston's flanking blow came to naught.

At this time, Liu Han has stepped into the three-second zone, but in front of him Mutombo has already made up the defense, he could have passed the ball to Alan McGee in the bottom corner, but Liu Han did not do this, this goal must be scored by himself, and he can only score it by himself, which is related to the momentum and state of the whole team.

Against Mutombo's defense, Liu Han reflexively dodged the opponent's long arm, and at the same time gathered his abdomen in the air, and then reflexively hooked the ball to the basket with his left hand according to his own feeling.

The referee's whistle blew and Mutombo made a noticeable downward pressure in order to block it, and the ball hit the board and drilled into the net accurately.

Liu Han returned the salute to the other party with a two-plus-one.

Compared with Marbury's two plus one before, Liu Han's ball is more difficult.

The game continued, but the core and "pseudo-core" of both teams began their respective performances, Liu Han was the undisputed core of the Mavericks, and Marbury's central position with the Knicks was yet to be confirmed.

The first quarter ended with the two teams tied at 35-33, with the Mavericks leading by two points.

In the second quarter, the two sides successively sent substitute players, and then there was a gap, and when the Knicks were on the court, they relied on the excited Marbury to pinch the team into a whole, but when Marbury was off the court, the Knicks immediately showed their original form.

The Knicks only have Ocella on their bench? Hanington still has some fighting power, except for him, the rest are mixed low-salary players.

The Mavericks' bench lineup relied on Bradley as the axis to cover and block the tactics, Xue Yuyang's high-level mid-range shot and Korver's three-point shooting.

Marbury was back on the court after less than three minutes of rest at the start of the second quarter. Cheney's role as head coach is actually similar to a microphone and a repeater.

Relying on Marbury's individual singles in the first half of the second quarter, the Knicks narrowly tied the score.

After the starters of the two teams returned to the court, Alan Houston felt very good today, not only the mid-range shot was as sharp as ever, but the outside three-point shot was also extremely accurate.

At the end of the half, the two sides were again tied at 68.

I have to admit that Marbury is indeed the golden generation of the 96 draft, although he has a height defect, but both his dribbling skills and projection ability are at the top level, and to be honest, Marbury's passing awareness is actually very good, but he doesn't take passing very seriously due to personality problems.

Marbury played 100 percent today and showed the Mavericks and everyone what he could do.

After the start of the third quarter of the game, Nelson asked Liu Han to mark Marbury in the opposite position, hoping to rely on Liu Han's personal defense to limit Marbury's play, which did play a certain role, Marbury began to make mistakes, the shooting percentage also dropped quickly, and the Knicks' offense began to stagnate.

However, at this time, Alan Houston began to put on his own show, perhaps affected by Marbury's state, or maybe he didn't want to hand over the position of the team's boss like this, Houston shot 3-of-4 from three-point range in the next 4 minutes, and also hit a two-and-one, allowing the Knicks to still hold on to the score in the third quarter.

With three minutes left in the third quarter, the two teams began to substitute players in preparation for the fourth quarter, when the score was tied at 84-83, and the Mavericks were able to take a one-point lead.

In the fourth minute of the fourth quarter, the Knicks first changed to the main lineup, and Marbury finally showed up after the absence of Liu Han's defense, and he made two shots from beyond the three-point line to help the Knicks overtake the score and lead by four points.

After that, the Mavericks also began to change the main players, and the two sides have been in a stalemate.

With three minutes left in the game, the Mavericks took the lead by two points, and then the two teams began the final showdown.

Alan Houston hit his sixth three-pointer of the game to help the Knicks tie the score by one point, and then Liu Han also responded with a three-pointer.

In the last minute, Marbury once again bravely scored two points against Liu Han's defense to help the Knicks equalize the score.

The Mavericks' last attack was heavily surrounded, and he had to pass the ball to Nowitzki in the open space, but Nowitzki hit four three-pointers today but missed the most crucial shot, and the Knicks grabbed the rebound, rushed to attack without a timeout, and their last shot was also off the basket, and the two sides went into overtime with a score of 116 tied at 116.

At the beginning of overtime, Liu Han opened the door to victory for the Mavericks, he first took advantage of Marbury's fatigue to grab the ball in his hand and counterattack, and then took Marbury's forced shot in defense, and the Mavericks' good physical condition adjusted by the Chinese medicine doctor allowed them to show a better physical state than the Knicks in the overtime of back-to-back games on the road.

Marbury was brave in the first 48 minutes of the game, but he was no longer brave in overtime, he was only one person after all, and the tacit understanding with the team was not enough, and at the last moment, he still chose to believe in himself.

In the end, relying on the five-point advantage that Liu Han built for the Mavericks at the beginning of overtime, the Mavericks defeated the Knicks 129-124 in overtime in back-to-back games on the road to make their 15th consecutive victory.

Marbury played 50 minutes and scored a big double-double of 36 points and 16 assists, and his performance brought surprises to New York but failed to lead to victory, of course, no one expected that this was actually just the beginning of New York's "ruin".
