Chapter 53: The Battle for You (Part II)

Even after many years, Hank still remembers that day, that game, so deeply that it seems to be etched in his bones, New Yorkers participated in a war with unprecedented toughness, and people firmly believe that they will be the victors. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In Madison Square Garden, there are countless popular games staged every year, and before this game, and after this game, there are many games, many of them are more exciting, more hearty, more memorable games, but this game has its own unique flavor, the whole of New York, only for one person.

Ewing fought for New York, and on the days of Ewing's injury, New York fought for Ewing. As the Bible says, "Call upon me in the day of trouble, and I will deliver you, and you will glorify me." ”

Three quarters passed, and the two sides were tied. Although the two sides are still tied at the moment, the Pacers players are a little scared. Without him, the pressure on the home court is too great, and the difference between the metropolis and the small city is revealed here, and many players are a little discouraged except for a few really big hearts in the team, but even those players with big hearts have a terrible performance in this game, and the situation of the Pacers is extremely bad.

Bird was so angry that he almost couldn't help but take off his suit and go on the field himself. The only people who still want to win on the Pacers are Miller and Mullin, but the performance of these two people today can only be described as miserable.

Bird was annoyed, not because his players were not doing well, but because he couldn't do anything about it, and there was nothing more unacceptable for a former superstar than watching his team fail, maybe he really wasn't fit to be a coach? For the first time, Bird doubted himself inwardly.

The Knicks on the other side were also quiet, but unlike the irritability of the walkers hiding under the ice over there, the Knicks had a confident calm, and everyone knew what they had to do.

Before going on the court, Houston, who had been playing for 35 minutes, gathered the Knicks players, put their hands together, and shouted, "Fight for You!" ”

A rainbow-like Knicks rushed onto the field like a beast out of the cage.

Charles, Sprewell, Houston, Camby, Moxi. However, what is slightly worrying is that Johnson seems to have sprained his ankle and had to leave the field early.

After the opening, the Pacers attacked first.

Although Miller had a bad hand this game and was defended by Houston, as long as he was on the court, he was the Pacers' first point of attack.

Jackson still pushed with his back, and after reaching the horn position, he hit the ground and passed the ball to Miller, who cut in, Miller took advantage of Schmitz's cover to kill the inside, Houston was blocked, and Mo unfortunately didn't keep up, fortunately, Camby had excellent movement ability, flashed, got rid of Davis, and blocked Miller in front.

Seeing that there was no chance, Miller immediately passed the ball back to Schmitz, but Mo's reaction was very fast, and he cut the ball off in an instant and handed it to Houston.

Houston launched a fast attack, Houston with a shooting rate of more than 70 is really terrible, you can hardly imagine how terrible a shooter is with a shooting rate of 70, Miller desperately chased the defense, but chased the heel, Houston suddenly came to a pull-up jump shot, hit the board, and the Knicks' offensive arrows still did not stop.

The Pacers attacked again, Miller's play was not satisfactory, and the Pacers' offensive responsibility was handed over to Schmitz and Jackson.

Gilkson once again used his physical advantage to sit and beat Charles, but Charles couldn't stop Jackson, but Charles had a teammate named Camby.

Jackson arched away from Charles, turned over and jumped, and the ball flew in the air less than half a meter, when a black shadow arrived, punched hard, and forcibly smashed the ball that had been flying in the air.

Charles picked up the ball, and the Knicks hit another fast-break shot.

The Pacers are getting more and more impatient, and they desperately need a score to stabilize the team. Fortunately, they still have Schmitz, a big killer, maybe he can't beat a super center like Ewing, but in the face of a rookie like Mo Xi, he can still bully him, skillfully turn twice, and easily hit a small hook under the basket.

But these two points came and went quickly, and when he turned around, Mo Xi returned Schmitz in the low position.

Houston had been playing on the court for only a minute, and when the situation was good, he was happy to let someone else share a thing or two for him, and after receiving a pass from Charles, Houston distributed the ball to Sprewell in the bottom corner, and Sprewell dropped the ball to Moxi.

Mo Xi faced Schmitz, who was much taller than himself, and he didn't dare to hold it up, so he used some power skills to chisel hard, and he was actually beaten into the forbidden area by him, but Schmitz was tall and long-armed, and he lost his position, but he didn't give up, and his hands were raised high, covering the sky and the sun on the top of Mo Xi's head. Mo Xi has an advantage, he wants to be tough to the end, he raised his hands and made a feint, Schmitz was unmoved, and then Mo Xi breathed a sigh of relief, squatted slightly, lowered his center of gravity, and raised his hands again, wanting to get up again.

Schmitz then flew up, intending to block Moxi's attack, but Moxi's set was still a feint, and Schmitz, an old ball, was deceived by someone. The referee didn't hesitate to give a shooting foul.

To say that the Knicks have an absolute advantage in this game, the absolute advantage is undoubtedly the free throws, New York is really the whole people participate in the game, even if it is a fair referee, I can't help but have some home whistles and give the Knicks many whistles.

The defensive end is tied, the offensive end is struggling, and the Pacers, although they still have some strength to fight against the Knicks, are only a little better. Bird had to replace veteran Mullin for Jalen Rose, who was pretty good this time, but had four fouls early and had to sit on the sidelines.

Unfortunately, Rose's play-up still can't be changed, and by this time, a somewhat tired Houston has handed over the burden of offense to Sprewell and Moxi.

With such a scoring center in the Pacers, Sprewell's offense can be described as presumptuous, although the feel is not very good, but he was born a madman in the Pacers inside the river and the sea, when he encountered the trench that could not be crossed, he gave the ball to the side of the Murphy, which has attracted a large number of defensive Sprewell on the side, the defense faced by the Mercy can be described as useless, the two of them in Houston during this period of time, together with Camby, who fought for offensive rebounds, stirred up trouble on the inside of the Pacers, The difference gradually came to five points.

Worse things came for the Pacers, as Houston, who had been committed to defense, seemed to have recovered and started to get involved in the offense again.

Charles stopped outside the three-point line and distributed the ball to Sprewell on his side, Sprewell broke through again, Camby mentioned the horn position to block him, after dismantling, Sprewell and Camby both came to the penalty area, Sprewell picked up the low post on the other side, at this time the penalty area was overcrowded, Mo Xi kept the ball in his hands, raised his hands high, and vigorously passed the ball to Houston, who had run to the bottom line at some point, Houston received the ball and hit a shot again. With a fist clench, Houston scored 30 points.

With little time left, the Pacers trailed by seven points.

As a last resort, the Pacers made a desperate bet, and Miller, who had previously shot 1-of-7 from three-point range, had to reluctantly make another shot. Dodging Houston's interference, Miller's shot was the most determined of the game.

However, the ball bounced out of the frame and Camby quickly took control of it. Davis hurriedly fouled Camby to the free throw line.

At this juncture, Camby's already not good free throws, coupled with a moment of nervousness, hit one of two free throws, and the Pacers stole a slight opportunity.

The Pacers attacked again, and Houston immediately organized the whole team to press all over the court. These people on the Knicks, except for Mo Xi, all have a good defense, for a while, the Pacers almost violated the law in eight seconds, but fortunately, Jackson was alert and hurriedly called a timeout, but the ball was not easy to send.

Sure enough, the Pacers had to give the ball directly to the frontcourt, and Sprewell seized the opportunity to bully himself, pushed away Jalen Rose, snatched the ball, and then quickly threw the ball to Houston, who had already run to the frontcourt, but the quality of the ball was not high, and when Houston received the ball, Miller had already caught up, and hurriedly held Houston and sent him to the free throw line.

With both free throws, Houston scored 32 points with 7.3 seconds left, and the Knicks led by 10 points, and the Pacers were already a little desperate.

But Miller didn't believe in evil, snatched the ball alive, served quickly, and then went straight to the frontcourt, and the last person who still had an obsession in the heart of the Pacers killed the opponent's position alone.

Miller reached the three-point line and made an emergency stop, Houston immediately jumped, but found that he had been deceived, and quickly deflected his body, and was not fouled by the opponent, Miller saw the opportunity, accelerated, and rushed into the basket, in front of Sprewell, Moxi, and Camby stood side by side.

Miller was not afraid to slip, Miller threw himself backwards fiercely, almost level with the horizon, and threw his hand, and the ball miraculously went in. The Pacers trailed the Knicks by eight points 82-90.

But Miller's miracle didn't happen, time was running out, and the Pacers planned to foul again, but Charles also spent another 2 seconds of time, and with the final free throw deliberately deflected, the Knicks ran out of time.

At 82:90, the Knicks won in New York.

Amid the call of the audience to fight for Ehu, the Knicks advanced to the Finals with their heads held high.

This time, there was no Jordan, no Olajuwon, and however, no Patrick Ewing either.
