Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Battle of Atlanta

On May 18, while the people of New York were still immersed in the miracle of Black Eight, the Knicks' plane took off again, and the destination was Atlanta. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

While both teams were the teams to advance in the tiebreaker, the Hawks at home undoubtedly had a better rest, with the Knicks spending their entire rest on planes.

However, there are still many people who are more optimistic about the Knicks, the Black Eight is on the one hand, the Hawks and the declining Pistons played to the tiebreaker and many people were surprised, this team that lacks stars has reached a critical moment, lacks an arrow-like figure, they do have a leader, but at that time, Wilkens, you can't let this old man play while playing like in the past. Therefore, after seeing the terrible resilience of the Knicks, people actually have a feeling that the king of heaven has ever been afraid of anyone.

Of course. ESPN continues to sing against the people, fatigue and the main player is no longer injured, but looking at the Eagles' sophisticated team basketball, they still put the treasure on the Eagles.

The Knicks almost helped each other off the plane, everyone was sleepy-eyed, and although Van Gundy postponed the meeting time until the afternoon and gave up the opportunity to practice at the Georgia Dome of the Hawks, it was clear that the life-and-death battle with the Heat took a huge toll on the players, especially one who didn't sleep in the middle of the night to practice.

Van Gundy frowned, if this is the case, last night's tactical arrangement will have to be modified, either to take away the Hawks in waves, or to use the Heat's delaying tactics, compared to the current state of the Knicks, as long as it is delayed until the fourth quarter and is not pulled away by 15 points, it should be possible to recover it.

At this time, Van Gundy's shortcomings were revealed, and he was always used to preparing everything in advance, so he always kept a handful of notes in his pocket, which was full of his own thoughts of what kind of situation should be taken. It's like a double-edged sword, which can sometimes make your opponent's set-up useless, or even play a beautiful counterattack, but if it's not in those possibilities...... Van Gundy will be helpless, and he can't say that he is helpless, but he can't come up with a way to deal with it right away, just like in the Three Kingdoms, Guo Jia ridiculed Chen Gong for having "Chi Zhi". It means that this person has enough intelligence, but he always thinks about it and is always a beat slower than others. That's the case with Van Gundy, and by the time he comes up with a way to deal with it, either the Knicks have already been opened, or the Knicks' stars step up and take over the game.

When a group of people arrived at the Georgia Dome in a daze, Van Gundy, En, had not yet made a decision, but fortunately, no one could listen to his tactical arrangement in this situation.

Van Gundy had to explain the general direction of the team first.

"In today's game, we focus on Houston and Sprewell, don't get too entangled with the opponent's inside, this time you will take turns to play, and you don't need to make too many strong attacks on the inside, mainly for Houston and Sprewell's offense to contain."

Van Gundy also knew that the players were tired, so he didn't talk too much nonsense, just simply said what to do, and let the players prepare for the game.

At this time, although the body is still tired, the Knicks will no longer sleep, the Black Eight killed the Heat to give them great encouragement, everyone is full of energy, the next game is to see whether the physical fatigue overwhelms the mental strength, or the spiritual strength overwhelms the physical tiredness.

At this time, Mo Xi was the worst, last night was too excited, actually ran out to play, and now his physical condition is extremely poor, feeling a burst of anxiety in his body, at this time, Mo Xi once again experienced the cruelty of the playoffs.

With this burst of boos, the Knicks players entered, and this season's Hawks have been sharing a arena with the college team Georgia Tech, which is why there are many more young fans in the prime of life, and they are the most vocal to lose.

Despite the tiredness on the faces of the Knicks, they still couldn't stop the fierce light in their eyes, and at this time, they were like hungry thugs, eager to win and go back to the hotel early to sleep.

When it was the Eagles' turn, the boos immediately turned into cheers.

The Hawks are also a team with a long history, and they have won championships in team history, although they still lack the foundation compared to the Knicks, but at least for now, the Hawks have a better chance of winning on the bright side, at least the name of Wilkens, a thousand-win coach is not comparable to Van Gundy.

The coach looked at the players who were warming up on the field, no matter which side he was, he had a clear feeling of lack of fitness, but he instinctively felt that this game was not as the Hawks had the upper hand as the Atlanta media advertised.

Wilkens was a good player, one of the top 50 superstars, and he coached a lot of players, and Yumeji is also his coaching masterpiece, he knows exactly what a superstar can bring, and although he has always emphasized team basketball, if you give him a set of superstars, he will definitely not be so pedantic as to let the other team play his basketball.

It is precisely because he knows the horror of superstars that Wilkens is a little worried, he can recognize that kind of look, it is a kind of firm, all-in-the-sky eyes, even if the sky falls, those eyes seem to tell you, don't be afraid, go up, Lao Tzu will give you a top.

At this time, the Knicks were terrible, because such eyes did not only appear on Ewing's body, Houston, Sprewell, Johnson, and even the substitutes Camby, Dudley, and Moxi, their bodies all faintly revealed such a momentum, although they may not even feel it, but this is engraved in their bones, and the aura that is inadvertently emitted is the most terrifying, who knows when he will burst out.

Wilkens made up his mind and temporarily revised the battle plan, this one must be fought quickly, and a large number of casualties will be inflicted on the opponent, so that even if the opponent wants to explode, it will be too late. Powerless.

From this point, it is not difficult to see that, at least on the bright side, the Eagles have a higher winning rate, because the coach has won more than one chip.

Therefore, it is not for nothing that Yao Ming questioned Van Gundy's coaching ability and why so many people believed it.

Just after Wilkens had once again assigned the task of the game, the referee's whistle sounded, signaling that the game was about to start and the athletes from both sides took to the court.

Mutombo gave Ewing a friendly hug and said, "Congratulations, you've accomplished a great achievement." ”

Ewing gently hugged the other party and let go, saying, "No, my achievements are not over, this is just the beginning." I'm not going to be like you. ”

Yes, that's right, the last one to complete the Black Eight achievement was still a Black Eight in the league was the Denver Nuggets, where Mutombo was at that time.

In 1994, the Denver Nuggets were the pioneers of the league's Black Eight Miracle, and the whole process of their win was jaw-dropping, the first two games of the series, the SuperSonics easily swept two cities in a row, but the Nuggets won by 17 points in the third game, and the fourth game won by 9 points after a hard overtime, 2-2, the Seattlemen, who won 63 in the regular season, were forced into a corner by the Nuggets, with a 37-4 home record, the SuperSonics were strongly impacted in the battle of life and death, and the Nuggets only had 11 turnovers in the whole game, They perfectly strangled Gary Payton and Sean Kemp while still young? Mutomber dominated the restricted area, and in the final moments of regular time, the supersonic Gill dragged the game into overtime with a layup, but in overtime, the Nuggets eliminated the SuperSonics 98-94, and Mutombo picked the last rebound and pressed it under him for a long time to get up, which has become an eternal classic in NBA history.

This time, the two center forwards of the Black Eight Miracle Maker will face each other, what kind of passion will erupt?

"Drop"

A whistle blows

Basketball flies high

Two huge palms slapped at the basketball

The second round of the playoffs has officially begun, and the Knicks' championship journey continues.
