According to Van Gundy's arrangement just now, the Knicks first came with a wave of full-court pressing, which made Larry Brown not expect that Van Gundy would be so bold. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The 76ers are still a little young, although they have experienced several playoff baptisms under the leadership of the old coach, but they still lack some on-court adaptability and resilience for the Knicks, a team that has entered the Finals twice in a few years.

Because of the lack of Iverson's strong point, the 76ers played very conservatively, and after the ball was passed, the 76ers did not choose to attack immediately, but waited for the whole team to fall into position, which is not bad, after all, the 76ers are still in the lead.

But because of the Knicks' full-court pressing, the 76ers' already not a strong offensive rhythm was broken, and Snow did not receive the ball again, but continued to insert the inside.

It's just that this time Thomas also returned to the inside line, he was not as good at talking as Mo Xi, and when Snow was going to go around the bottom line again, Thomas directly turned his body to the side, blocking Snow, and at the same time secretly stepped on Snow. With such a block, it was difficult for Snow to smoothly come out to catch the ball, and the 76ers quickly transferred the offensive arrow.

In this game, Larry Hughes was very good, and he was opposite Houston, who was not at all comparable to Hughes in terms of physical fitness. Hughes received the ball at 45 degrees, ignored Houston's defense, and broke through Houston directly in a brutal way, soaring into the air and jumping directly on the Knicks' inside line.

Larry Hughes has a strong defense and a strong temper individually, but it has to be said that he has more of this impact, especially when he was younger. But the Knicks' interior line has never lacked villains, even a guy like Mo Xi, who seems to be a giant version of a college professor, will take pulling others down from the sky as a common thing in the playoffs, in Johnson's teachings, as long as you don't kill him in the playoffs, you can defend yourself no matter how you defend it. (So, scolding Green is just because other people's actions are not so obvious and not big enough, but for the action of digging eggs, uh, it's still annoying, even if it's Rodman, Ranbier probably won't do that, after all, a hooligan is a hooligan, but he's still a man.) However, in the regular season, Mo Xi's movements are still not so "unrestrained", but he still has a Thomas by his side.

Thomas, who had been labeled a New York gangster, stepped forward, stretched out his giant palm and pointed it directly at Hughes's face.

Hughes hurriedly turned his head away, but he didn't notice it, and at some point, Thomas's other hand also reached for Hughes's chest.

In terms of bounce, Hughes stabilized Thomas, but Thomas just wanted to destroy the ball, and Thomas pulled Hughes down from the air solidly. Since it was an away game, Thomas was still friendly enough to pull Hughes up, and of course, pulling Hughes into the Knicks' roster of players meant nothing else.

Hughes looked at the blue jerseys around him, and he was still cowardly, the 76ers were still too young, and at first glance, this was a group of old hooligans who had been in Brooklyn all year round.

Thomas's foul was so hard that Hughes endured the sharp pain in his chest and made one of the first two free throws.

In the meantime, Larry Brown made another substitution, bringing on Aaron McGee for Bruce Bowen. (I don't know why, as soon as I typed this name, I felt trembling all over my body, and my heart panicked)

The Knicks attacked, and the Knicks, who were already seven points behind, began to get nervous.

Sprewell asked for the ball directly, and he was going to play singles. Today, he and Houston are not very good in shooting under the defense of the 76ers, both of them are in their thirties, but Houston still scored 20 points with excellent free throws, and Sprewell is not bad, and has already scored 15 points. But at this moment, Sprewell was a little annoyed, and Bruce Bowen, who was supposed to play small forward to defend Houston, came to him for some reason. Houston is six feet six inches tall, an inch taller than Sprewell, and was forced to the small forward because of this. And what about Bowen? Proper two meters and three, small forward height, although you replaced Aaron McGee, but is it really good to come directly to the defender so directly? Or is it that, with the previous encounter, Bowen has decided that he can eat the Sprewell? This annoyed Sprewell a bit, and he decided to give the other man a good look.

Sprewell changed direction, walked the middle line, Bowen clinged closely, Sprewell suddenly changed direction again, broke through from the left hand, Bowen was shaken, pulled away half of the body, but still trying to catch up, Sprewell took a sudden step, and then suddenly stopped the jump shot.

Bowen was a little caught off guard, it was too late to jump, he directly pasted up, trying to interfere with the opponent with his height, this position was in front of the referee, although it was the home field, but Bowen did not dare to use anything too exciting.

Sprewell made a shot, but Sprewell didn't accumulate much good feel before, although this ball looked very similar, but Mo Xi still clearly saw that this ball was short.

Mo Xi took a step forward, pressed the 76ers center behind him, stuck his position, and kept his eyes on the basketball.

"Wow~"

The basketball slammed on the lower edge of the basket, popped directly down, and fell into Mo Xi's hands.

The Knicks still have a chance.

The Knicks are still pressing all over the court, but the prepared 76ers are no longer in a hurry, and they passed the half court in 8 seconds, but it also really consumed a lot of time.

After their previous offensive tactics were defeated by Thomas' hooliganism, the 76ers showed a huge coaching advantage, and it seemed like everything was in Larry Brown's script. Although only 35% or less of the time in a game is actually completed by the coach's arrangement, in the usual training, the team will have some specific tactical arrangements for many situations, and there is no need for the coach to arrange it at all, which is the case with the current 76ers.

Snow controlled the ball at 45 degrees, looked for opportunities to no avail, and directly gave the ball to the inside. Although the 76ers did not have an advantage on the inside, they still had the ability to act as a tactical fulcrum, and Marcolocchi stepped forward to receive a pass from Snow.

At this time, Bowen, who was secretly ambushed in the bottom corner on the other side, also moved, he got rid of Houston and rushed directly to the basket along the bottom line, at this time Mo Xi's attention was still focused on Markovich in front of him, and he didn't notice behind him at all.

But some people don't, such as being stalked by Bowen for most of the half, Sprewell shouted directly: "Ink." Behind! ”

Mo Xi was aware of it, but Marcolocchi had already passed, No-look-pass.

It was a good shot from that point of view, as long as he wasn't stopped. After getting Sprewell's reminder, Mo Xi was ready, as if he was in a blessing, Mo Xi suddenly stretched out his hand, and the ball was directly stopped by Mo Xi when it was still in Marcolocchi's hand, as if it was directly sent to Mo Xi's hand.

In fact, Moxi does not lack the potential to become a top defender, but he has not been able to get much guidance in this area of defense, and Van Gundy has not had time to transform Moxi.

Mo Xi cut off the ball and passed it directly to Sprewell at the top of the arc.

Sprewell pushed Larry Hughes away, received the ball and rushed to the front court, the trademark straight-arm dunk, the Knicks still trailed by 3 points, and with three minutes left in the game, the Knicks seemed to be on the verge of a comeback.

But soon, a basin of cold water from reality was poured up. The 76ers' next round of offense still didn't score, but the 76ers of such a lineup are undoubtedly better at defense. In the last two minutes of the game, the referees no longer blew the whistle, except in exceptional circumstances, and the 76ers held the full two minutes, and both sides shot 7 and zero in those two minutes. The score is still unchanged, and the Knicks are in danger.

Van Gundy stood up from the dugout, he still had a timeout in his hand, but he didn't call a timeout right away, he wanted to save another hand.

41 seconds, the Knicks' offensive round.

There are two ways in front of the Knicks now, one is to play steadily and score two points, and the other is to risk shooting three points, but obviously, in the face of the 76ers' defense today, the Knicks' shooters still don't have the confidence to take this risk. In the end, the two-point shot was chosen.

Charles moved to the flank, leaving space for Mo Xi in the middle, but Mo Xi did not choose the middle and took a step back to the free throw line. Charles passed the ball to Houston on his side, but Houston was too tightly pressed by Bowen, and the ball was not very stable, so he quickly passed the ball to Thomas on the baseline.

At this moment, Mo Xi suddenly moved, as if he was going to move inside, and then complete a high and low cooperation with Thomas, Marcolocchi hurriedly took a step forward and sealed in front of the penalty area.

However, Mo Xi only took a step to the side, received a pass from Thomas, and then, very strangely, Mo Xi shot without anyone defending within a single step.

Moxi's mid-range shooting has been repeatedly improved by the Knicks' shooting coach, whose shooting coach is well-known in the league, and you must know that no matter what period it is, the mid-range shot is the Knicks' biggest offensive weapon.

Mo Xi's shot this time was very bold, since the other party felt that Mo Xi's shooting was unstable, and he didn't dare to shoot in such a situation, so why did he do what the other party thought?

Bend your knees and squat, raise the ball to the top of your head with both hands, and then, starting from your feet, the whole person is like a bamboo shoot, and the whole person rises to the highest point, and then, the long arm is gently waved, and the hand is pressed by the wrist.

The basketball burrowed headlong into the net, and a white wave appeared.

Mo Xi hit a shot, and the Knicks closed the score to one point.

Larry Brown hurriedly called a timeout, and Murphy hit an unexpected mid-range shot, which gave him a bad feeling.

It was a short thirty-second timeout, but it was enough for Larry Brown to lay out a complete game.

With 21 seconds left in the game, the 76ers possessed the ball.

Van Gundy took advantage of the timeout to put Ward on again and put pressure on Snow. Despite Ward's limited playing time in this game, he managed to limit Snow and was still very successful in defending.

The 76ers served, Snow couldn't catch the ball smoothly, and the ball was finally given to Larry Hughes. At this time, Larry Brown has calculated a little bit but undercounted, the reckless character of Larry Hughes. Larry Hughes went directly to the basket and didn't give his teammates time to react at all, but because of this, he broke through Sprewell's defense for the first time, but in terms of defense, the biggest difference between the Knicks and the 76ers is that the Knicks' interior defense is tougher.

As if he wanted to avenge the blow he had just made, he flew straight towards Thomas.

Thomas stood still, although this kind of ball was at the last moment, but presumably as long as there was a movement in his hand, the referee would still give him a foul directly, but he only needed to be a meat shield.

At this time, the real defender appeared, this game has been in a high-intensity defense, which made Mo Xi learn a lot, directly learn and sell, he grabbed Marcolocchi's shoulder, suddenly started, killed from the side, and flew towards Thomas's head in Xiusi, he originally wanted to insult Thomas, but he didn't expect to kill a person from the side, and he was caught off guard, and was directly nailed by Mo Xi.

The ball bounced down, there was chaos under the basket, several figures scrambled together, Thomas was the closest, he was pressed to the bottom, seeing that the referee was about to blow the whistle for the jump ball, Thomas pushed it directly, the ball stumbled out of the crowd, and then Sprewell threw the ball directly to the front court with a fish jump.

Both Ward and Snow struggled forward.

Ward grabbed the ball first, rushed straight to the frontcourt, and accelerated to the basket, and Snow was pressed to the other side of his body.

Just when he thought he had won, suddenly a dark shadow flew up from behind him and knocked him out, and it was another defensive titan of the 76ers, Bruce Bowen.

But Bowen's block was too hard this time, and it actually smashed on the rebound, and the ball bounced back.

On the path of the ball, there was a man wearing the number 8 jersey, and the point was that it was a blue jersey, not a dynamic note for the 76ers.

It's Spreville.
