Despite Ewing's small outbursts and the Knicks' lead, the Knicks took a brief lead, but overall, the performance of the two men was short-lived, and offense was only a small part of the winning means in this confrontation between the two super defensive powerhouses, and the two men quickly fell silent, and the game entered a stalemate again.

At this time, Van Gundy's whole person is very square, the game has been played so far, the means that should be used have basically been used, what else is there to say, the bayonet on the field is red, but Van Gundy's heart is really bottomless, if he loses, the media and fans will definitely blame him for his inaction, and from another point of view, such a life-and-death battle, as the head coach, can not come up with any effective means, can only call a timeout, change the rotation lineup, let the main force have a little rest.

Now the Knicks have first enabled the rotation lineup on the court, Camby and Thomas are on the court, and they don't want these two to kill the inside, as long as the two of them can choke Mourning, Charles replaces Ward, and Johnson also replaces Houston for a break.

As Houston, who made great contributions to the last time the two sides met, it can be said that he was taken care of by the Heat in the seventh battle of life and death this time, almost to the extent of "your wife and my support", but this defensive effect is really significant, the most famous mid-range shooting king in the league, Houston has only shot one shot in this game so far, and even the number of shots has been limited to less than eight times, and it is only by relying on free throws to barely score six points.

After Ewing and Moxi went off, the situation on the Knicks was mainly supported by Sprewell.

Sprewell can be said to be a buried big heart in this era, the more critical the game, the better he performs, and usually, it seems that he is just a slightly good player, but when it comes to this kind of life and death, Sprewell doesn't care whether he is the boss of the team or not, he is not soft.

Sprewell dribbled the ball and looked at the dry and thin black man opposite, and felt very unhappy.

The opposite is none other than Bruce Bowen, who came to the Heat during the mid-season big trade, and it can be regarded as the reason why Pat Riley has always had a bad eye for this type of player, although the playing time is not fixed, but as long as he plays, he will definitely bite the opponent's arrow player, and a large part of Houston's downturn in this game is actually because of him.

Several encounters with Bruce Bowen made Sprewell feel so close to him that he didn't dare to slack off at the moment.

Sprewell is a very tough guy, but in this game, he also used a lot of energy, and there is no comparison to Bruce Bowen with plenty of energy. Sprewell first tried to burst twice on the wing, and found that he couldn't get rid of Bowen's defense at all, so he quickly pulled, two basic crossovers in a row, and suddenly changed direction sharply, intending to change the middle and force it to the basket.

It's just that Bruce Bowen's attention is so focused at this moment, as soon as Sprewell moved, he immediately posted it, Sprewell changed direction fiercely, and the speed made people think that he would not sprain his ankle, but he saw that Bowen on the opposite side was like a dog skin plaster, and he also forcibly changed direction and leaned over.

I have to say that although Bowen's defense is very dirty, but many actions, he must first be able to keep up with people in order to get down to the hands, go down to the feet, not to mention anything else, but Bowen's sticking defense, following the defense ability, is not considered defensive aggressiveness, even if the majority league has been fifty years, there are few people who can compete with him in the front guard.

Bowen's wonderful defense has made many scouts of various teams hidden among the fans shine, especially from the Spurs, the Spurs' core Duncan injury this year, which has cast a shadow on the entire team, and I don't know what Duncan's state is after returning from injury. In fact, every team has its own character, the longer the inheritance of the team, the more so, this character comes from the coach or the star who has the deepest influence on the team, and the newcomer in the future, even if it is not this kind of character, but subtly, always recall this aspect closely.

While the scouts were struggling to write, the matchup on the field was also decided.

Sprewell's continuous acceleration of change of direction failed to get rid of Bowen, and he had to wait until he pulled up on the spot and shot directly against the defender.

Bowen's long arms were firmly pressed against Sprewell's head at the moment.

Just listening to the sound of "poof", Sprewell is striking iron in the end, and the Knicks are returning with a wave of offense.

The Knicks' offense isn't smooth, and the Heat aren't much better.

PJ Brown was completely blown out by Ewing before, and at this time he was resting off the court with four fouls on his back, and now he is partnered with Mourning on the court, and the interior is called Thorton, and is a pure blue-collar center.

The Heat didn't say much, and after Mourning found a good position, they directly handed the ball to Mourning and let him play alone.

The Knicks' defense of Mourning is Thomas, Thomas is shorter than Mourning in terms of height, in fact, he is a big forward, but Camby's physical fitness allows him to defend Mourning is too much to catch ducks on the shelf, Thomas Road is a good choice, but Thomas's rebounding control on the inside is a little worse, so Camby has to come up to assist.

But where would Mo Ning look down on these two guys, snorted coldly, lowered his center of gravity, and an iron head went up, and Mo Ning, who was half a head taller than Thomas, actually hit Thomas's chest alive, and this time, he was stunned and hit Thomas's chest. Taking advantage of this gap, Mo Ning went directly to the inside line.

Thomas came back to his senses, Mourning was already half a body ahead of him, Thomas didn't dare to slack off, and directly reached out and secretly grabbed Mourning's shirt from behind, intending to use some small means to slow down Mourning's speed.

Obviously, such a small trick was successful, and Mo Ning's pace was a little slower. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Camby decisively gave way to the defender and stepped forward to make up for it.

Camby has been mixed up in the east for some years, and Mo Ning knows him well, this person is not very strong, but his ability to help defend and block is not bad, but only this?

Mo Ning sneered, and suddenly stopped after taking a big stride, and looked up a little.

Camby's nerves were tense at the moment, and he was already in a hurry to make up for the defense, so he was shaken up all of a sudden.

Mo Ning suddenly exerted his strength at this moment, let go of Camby, and directly hung the basket with both hands.

At this time, Mourning is really ghostly, and the two Knicks' bench interior lines have been replaced.

In the third quarter, under the stalemate, the Heat still achieved some advantages with Mourning's madness at all costs, and at this time, the last attack of the third quarter, the ball was on the Knicks' side, and Sprewell singled Bowen again.

Sprewell's strength is no longer under the nagging in the future, but he is not very well known, and he was defended by Bowen for a goal, and Sprewell has been remembering it until now, and now, he wants to hit this ball back in the same way.

The left wing changed direction and accelerated, advancing to a position of more than one step inside the three-point line, and suddenly two large early changes of direction, pinning Bowen firmly to the ground, and suddenly starting again, pulling horizontally to the center line.

Although Bowen had already lost the lead at this moment, he still followed silently, reluctantly allowing himself to be on the route of Sprewell's breakthrough.

But Sprewell's heart was hot at the moment, and seeing that Bowen was still stubbornly following up, he ruthlessly changed direction and pulled to the left without mercy, and the whole person was like a cheetah, and burst out with an amazing force, catapulting out to the right front, and directly killing the basket.

Bowen was passed, but he still didn't give up and followed closely behind. Directly ahead, there is also Mo Ning guarding the customs there.

Sprewell gritted his teeth and leaned straight up, not on Mourning, but on Bowen, a two-time Defensive Player of the Year, who was even more intimidating on the inside than Ewing.

Bowen felt Sprewell rush at him, and without thinking about it, he grabbed him directly, and dragged him out of the air and threw him to the ground.

"Drop~"

The referee's whistle blew and Sprewell stepped to the free throw line and scored both free throws.

Van Gundy let out a long sigh of relief from the court, and then, with twelve minutes to go, the Knicks had a busy season, and he didn't want this to be the end.
