Chapter 163: I'm Gilbert Arenas

After the start of the second half, Arenas and Maddy's attack became more violent, from a certain point of view, the two attack methods are actually a little similar, their similarity is that they are both so unreasonable, but one is elegant, and the other is pure savagery.

However, no matter how good a scorer is, he also needs to have an excellent coach to guide him, and use the most suitable tactics and lineups to discover his greatest power. If Maddie presses Arenas in terms of scoring ability, then with the coach's BUFF, Arenas has the ability to wrestle with Maddie.

In the second half, the Magic attacked first, and Magic point guard Jacqui Vaughn advanced to the front court with the ball, and then directly handed the ball to Maddy, and he ran to the bottom corner.

Doug Rivers also can be regarded as tailoring a set of tactics for Maddie, pure Maddie's single tactics.

The entire Magic team was distributed in 32, with Maddy holding the ball on the 2nd side, and the remaining three lined up from the baseline to the 45-degree three-point line.

Maddie held the ball with his back to the other 45-degree angle beyond the three-point line, and Maddie first glanced at the situation on the court, then adjusted his pace to turn sideways to face Sprewell. Suddenly, Maddie grabbed the ball in her hand and pulled it outward, in a classic Maddie-style grab motion.

Sprewell's back muscles tightened, and Maddie was about to kick in.

Now Maddie has ushered in his peak ahead of schedule, and at this time, he has the fastest first step in the league at the moment, even Iverson or Kobe Bryant may not be as fast as him.

Maddie moved, he turned his back directly, while using his back against Sprewell, while stepping forward in an instant, Sprewell reacted at the first time, but it seemed that he was still a little slower, he was going to step forward to force, but Maddie's height and arm span completely crushed Sprewell, Maddie's turn completely blocked Sprewell, plus his excellent first step, Sprewell didn't even have time to pull the corner of Maddie's clothes.

However, how could Spreville give up so easily, this is the "madman" Ratril Spreville!

As soon as Sprewell turned around, he forcibly pursued Maddie, and directly in front of Maddie, Dale Davis stood up early, and the two blocked Maddie one after the other.

It seems that the first half played smoothly, and Maddie did not panic at all when he encountered such a situation, but made a very natural direct stop-and-go jump shot.

But just as he was shooting, Sprewell jumped up and chased directly from behind, and his fingertips narrowly brushed past Maddie's shot.

Basketball is no longer the beautiful trajectory in Maddie's impression, but it is a little unnatural, Maddie saw it, and knew that he missed the ball, and hurriedly rushed forward, trying to rush the frontcourt rebound, but after Sprewell landed, he was directly blocked behind him, and Dale Davis pressed the Magic center to take the rebound.

The Knicks launched a fast break.

Arenas received the ball and galloped away first, and just after halftime, he quickly distributed the ball to Houston, who was keeping up, and continued to kill under the basket without slowing down.

Houston jumped to catch the ball, and the whole person fell outside the three-point line, and Maddy, who hurriedly returned to the defense, immediately pounced forward when he saw this, intending to block Houston's possible chasing three-point.

But just as Maddie pounced, Houston's feet changed and his center of gravity dropped.

Maddie subconsciously thought that Houston was planning to break through him, and immediately stopped, but then saw Houston directly throw the ball away, hit the ball from Maddy's side, and Arenas caught the ball and made a layup.

The Magic attacked again, but the Magic's offensive tactics were too monotonous, even if they had a super genius like Maddy, they couldn't find a way to deal with the current situation for a while, and the Knicks sanctioned the Magic with defense.

However, the Knicks' performance on the offensive end was not too smooth.

Today's most important firepower points of the Knicks, Houston, Sprewell, Rasheed Wallace and even Wang Zhizhi on the bench, their hands are not very good, the feeling of this thing is the most terrible infectious disease in the league, it can be described as the first double-edged sword, he is extremely contagious, but good hands can be contagious, bad hands can also be contagious, the Knicks are in this state now, in addition to Arenas, only Houston scored double-doubles, Wallace scored eight points. It is precisely because of such a bad feeling that the Magic is one point ahead of the Knicks.

So throughout the third quarter, the Knicks Magic fell into a boom of iron, Maddie was a little lost under the Knicks' continuous defensive line, and only got three points with free throws in this quarter, but Maddy used his huge deterrent power to attract a lot of defensive attention from the Knicks, allowing teammates to have many opportunities to shoot, but the rest of the Magic was still a little too bad, under such convenient conditions, the Magic only scored 14 points in the third quarter.

However, the Knicks are in worse shape than the Magic, and the difference between them and the Magic is that they had many chances, but they couldn't score, and in the third quarter, the Knicks only scored 10 points, Arenas scored 8 points, and only Houston hit a shot.

George Karl had to call a timeout frequently in the third quarter to calm the mentality of the players, he could see that the Knicks did not collapse, but it seemed that they were not much closer to a collapse, and the Knicks' bigger problem now is their psychology, because of repeated misses, the entire Knicks are shrouded in anxiety.

George Karl is a coach with a fiery personality, although he also knows that what he should do more at this time is to keep the players calm, but as soon as he turns around, the words on his lips change, he is constantly fierce with the players, and the Knicks are now like a firework that burns itself forward, either ending up with the most brilliant brilliance or disappearing into the night.

The Knicks are out of control.

For a runaway carriage, it is difficult to control an absolutely san, absolutely calm, and absolutely reasonable star like Mo Xi, and such a crazy team can only be controlled by the same, or even more crazy, such as Gilbert Arenas.

Arenas played ten minutes in the third quarter and only went off the court for two minutes in the final period, George Karl originally wanted Arenas to rest for a while at the beginning of the fourth quarter, after all, Arenas is still very young now, and the physical aspect is far from enough, George Karl intends to let him play again in the fourth quarter with a break of 14 minutes.

However, Arenas decisively rejected George Karl's decision, and with a raging fire in his eyes, he stared at George Karl tightly, as if he had poured all his passion into this eye.

"It's our game, it's my game, it's my game, and I'm here to prove that I, Gilbert Arenas, are no worse than anybody!"

George Carr was silent, is there anything more dazzling than the dignity of a man?

George Carr patted Arenas on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, Gilbert, get on the field!" This is your stage, this is your battlefield, just stand here and challenge the crown! ”

The fourth quarter began with Arenas on the court.

The Knicks attack first.

Arenas quickly pushed forward to the frontcourt, took a step forward, pulled another step to the side, and beckoned Wallace to come forward to block the pick-and-roll.

The two quickly completed a blocking and dismantling cooperation, this time the two went hand in hand, walking to the basket together, the Knicks' blocking and dismantling coordination is not as unpredictable as the Jazz, it relies more on the ability of the player to ensure the execution of the tactics, which is what may happen in the Knicks, because the player's super offensive ability makes every point of the Knicks have a strong finishing ability.

But at the moment, it seems that because Arenas was too violent, Wallace and others were a little not very good, the Magic's defensive focus was completely on Arenas, and after the two people blocked and dismantled, Arenas actually suffered a double bag.

When I was training, I didn't break the double bag! However, some people are born with some enviable sense of smell. By the time he realized that he might be trapped, Arenas was already planning his next move.

Side-pulling, sideways, Arenas relied on his physical fitness, bullying Armstrong like Maddie bullying Sprewell, although the latter is a veteran player who has been in the league for many years and has rich experience, but the momentum on his body is far from enough, in the face of Arenas's savage collision, he hesitated for a while, and did not step forward to interfere at the first time.

Although the physical talent of the magic Gooden is very good, he is seriously inexperienced, and he is actually dizzy by Arenas gently and dexterously.

Arenas made an easy layup.

Seeing Arenas score, Maddie's side was not afraid, and now that Sprewell is resting, it is Houston who is defending Maddie on the court, Houston's defense is actually good enough, but his defensive style is more like his nickname, water, water is impermanent, the world is not soft than water, Houston's defense is a typical flexible defense.

Maddie faced Houston and directly forced the first step, relying on his excellent explosiveness to go to Houston, but after one step, Maddie felt a darkness in front of him, it was Houston in front of him, it turned out that Houston was gambling, he was betting on Maddie's first step, and obviously, he bet right.

However, Maddie did set off a storm in his heart, he thought that he was being defended by Houston, and in a hurry, Maddie chose a stop-and-go jump shot.

"Bang~"

Maddie misses the iron.

The Knicks are fast breaking again.

This time, the Knicks completely overtook the score, and the Magic had to blow the horn of the decisive battle in advance.

Seeing that the Magic sent out the final lineup, George Karl's side was not flustered, relying on the current lineup on the court to play for another two minutes, and after the two sides tied again, he put his final lineup on the court.

And it was from this moment that Arenas seemed to tear off all the restraints on his body in an instant.

Arenas is not the kind of guy who is good at using rhythm and his fancy skills to get past people, he relies more on his body and that unique sense of smell. After Arenas took a step forward, he stopped suddenly, and Armstrong endured the discomfort of his ankle and forcibly stopped, but he couldn't tell whether Arenas was going to stop and get up or simply make a pull-up jumper, and just when he hesitated, Arenas made a move.

With his knees bent slightly, and then he exploded violently, Arenas sat on the clouds, his strong arms raised the ball high, and the back of his hand gently pressed against his head, Arenas shot!

Hit!

The scores of the two sides continued to stagger and rise, this time, they were really gritting their teeth and fighting, and the entire Amway Arena echoed with the sound of shouting for the Magic, but the Knicks did not show weakness on their side, and no one on the bench was sitting, even George Karl stood up.

In the last 30 seconds, the Knicks possessed the ball, and Arenas was hovering outside the Magic's three-point line, and the two sides were still tied at the moment, 84-84. Six seconds had passed since the Knicks' offensive time, and Arenas seemed a little hesitant, and George Karl had no timeout, so he had to force Arenas on the sidelines.

As soon as Arenas gritted his teeth, he simply shot directly, regardless of whether this goal scored or not, the Knicks may have the right to the last attack, if he scored this goal, wouldn't it be beautiful.

Arenas shot straight away.

However, Armstrong, who had long been accustomed to Arenas being able to shoot at any position, quickly raised his arm and failed to block it, but Arenas was interfered with!

The ball was so powerful that Arians smashed straight into the back of the basket.

Arenas' heart chuckled, but then Arenas looked excited.

With a "bang", Rashid Wallace fell from the sky and chiseled the ball into the basket on top of the heads of the Magic. Wallace scored a dunk to give the Knicks a two-point lead.

The Magic immediately called a timeout.

Now it will be a direct confrontation between the two coaches.

George Karl values offense, but he is never one to ignore defense, and for the Magic's next offense, he has only one defensive point, which is to defend Maddy, from start to finish, and keep him away from the ball.

George Karl won, and the Magic kept looking for Maddy, but the Knicks chased and blocked it, and Maddy couldn't catch the ball at all, so Rivers called another timeout, which was also his last timeout.

The Magic served again, this time Rivers had a whim, and actually asked Maddie to serve, and for a while the Knicks were a little messy, but they still maintained excellent defensive strength, but it was Maddie who successfully received the ball.

Seeing Maddie receiving the ball, Sprewell didn't dare to rush up again, and as Maddie kept approaching, Sprewell kept retreating.

The two sides were deadlocked, Maddie was there to control the time, and the Knicks did not dare to rush forward, and the scene came to a standstill.

“go! Ratriere! go! go! go! ”

George Karl shouted loudly for Sprewell on the sidelines, the referee frowned slightly, but he didn't dare to do anything, at such a moment, you suddenly give a T to the manager on the side, think you are also done.

As the minutes ticked by, and with four seconds left on the Magic's offensive time, Sprewell realized that the victory was up to him.

Sprewell moved his feet forward slightly, tiptoe up, ready to face Maddie's breakaway.

Maddie looked at Spreville, who was getting closer, and made a decisive pull-up jumper!

Spreville jumps!

Maddie flew high, Sprewell's hand rubbed Maddie's wrist and slid down, he couldn't prevent it, this ball couldn't be prevented, for no reason, Sprewell's heart was full of despair.

"Huh~"

The ball went in, Maddie waved his fist and turned around, the Magic took a one-point lead, and at the same time, the clock was only 1.8 seconds left, and the Knicks had not yet taken a timeout, and the end seemed to have arrived.

On the other side of history, Maddy led the Pistons 3-1 in this year, and it was also in this year that he said that I was already thinking about the next opponent, so we are already happy with his ending, and this time?

The Magic are pressing.

Maddy was watching Houston near the halfway line, and in his opinion, in this case, although Arenas shined in this game, the Knicks' likely last-minute shot was still Houston. Houston suddenly turned around and ran in the direction of the Magic's backcourt, and Maddie followed without hesitation. But inexplicably, Maddie suddenly felt a throbbing in her heart, and turned her head suddenly.

The Knicks served quickly, it was a semi-long pass, and Wallace sent the ball directly to Arenas, who ran to his own three-point line.

Maddie's face was full of horror, and in the dark, a voice told him that something seemed to be wrong.

Turn around, dribble, and get your hands up

A super long-range three-pointer.

There was no one sitting in the Amway Arena anymore.

Mo Xi, who was standing on the sidelines, suddenly smiled, this ball, it seems familiar, I remember that Larry did the same back then.

"Bang~"

The basketball hit the rebound, and then bounced straight into the basket.

Arenas hit an incredible three-pointer from beyond the arc, and the Knicks countered!

The Knicks surrounded Arenas, slapping him on the head.

Arenas laughed and walked off the court, he won, he proved he was the best one, and he walked to the Knicks' bench to be greeted by cheers from his teammates.

As Arenas walked, he turned back to Maddie and said, "It looks like you really don't have a chance, we have a big guy coming back in the next game." ”

Maddy's face was complicated, and he looked over to the Knicks' bench, where Mo Xi was standing, smiling and clapping, welcoming the hero of the game. When this terrible man comes back, does his magic really have a chance?

As Arenas walked, he suddenly seemed to remember something, turned back to the dejected Magicians and said, "Remember, my name is Gilbert Arenas!" ”
