Chapter Eighty-One: Georgetown's Top-of-the-Table Battle

The two sides entered the fourth quarter, and the Knicks led by two points at 71-69, and despite such a close score, the coaches of both sides invariably replaced their star players for a break.

Iverson has played thirty-two minutes, cutting 31 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals, as for Moxi, playing less time, but it has also reached thirty minutes, although he began to score at the end of the third quarter, but Moxi's score is still a little "less", only 19 points scored, 11 rebounds, 11 assists, four blocks, plus a steal, it can be described as all-round.

As for now, the leaders of both sides are Mutombo and Aaron McGee of the 76ers, and Ewing and Houston are the Knicks. It's an almost identical setup. A strong center paired with a good mid-range pitcher, and the two sides bit together at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

The two centers also produced from Georgetown were full of sparks as soon as they met, although Ewing is getting old and no longer has the courage of the past, but it is because his physical strength and physical fitness can not keep up with the rhythm of the game, so he can still keep up with the physical strength for ten minutes.

The first meeting between the two was on a rebound, Ewing had already stuck the position, but Mutombo had to use the advantage of his arm span to do something, this time Ewing was furious, and the two big centers began to pull up under the basket, both of them are the kind of people with excellent physical talent, when it comes to hardware conditions, Mutombo is naturally better, but even the aging Ewing, his software conditions are above Mutombo, and Ewing is stuck in advance of the position, The exchange between the two men was only a brief moment, but it was also very exciting, and in the end, Ewing relied on his wide back to force Mutombo away and successfully bagged the rebound.

Although the main scorers on both sides are shooters, it is clear that at the moment, the hearts of the fans are on these two centers who are constantly fighting on the inside.

In the eighth minute of the game, the main forces of both sides were exhausted, and the Knicks made a slight change, replacing Thomas and Mark Jackson with Ward and Ewing to strengthen the defense.

The difference between the two sides remained the same, still a two-point gap, and the Knicks led by two points at 79-77.

After the main players of both sides came on the field, many people could feel that the atmosphere on the field had changed, even across a layer of TV screens, people still felt the heavy murderous aura.

Several players from Georgetown, who are also from Georgetown, are about to start the climax of a desperate battle here.

In the final moments, both sides had a clear idea, which was to hand over the ball to the star of the house to play.

Playing against them, both Spreville and Mutombo are excellent defensive players, and of course Mutombo is better.

With the scores staggered up, both Spreville and Mutombo found that they had nothing to do with the guy opposite. Mutombo couldn't help but think of last year's Finals, when he was playing against that fat man, and Sprewell, who no longer had the energy to think about what he had and didn't have.

Until the last minute, the two sides failed to really open the score, and it was still a two-point difference.

The 76ers began their final rounds of offense.

Now there are 51 seconds left, and there are eighteen seconds left for this offense, Iverson began to think, if this offense will finish the time, then there will be thirty-three seconds left, no matter how you choose, the Knicks will not get the right to the final blow, even if it is the most full of calculations, it is only three or four seconds left, plus the Knicks have always been a slow-paced team, and they may not adapt to this rhythm if they accelerate rashly, and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes.

Iverson began to control the time, Larry Brown had replaced Snow from the game, and the control of the tempo was now entirely in Iverson's hands.

With eight seconds left, Iverson went on the attack.

The classic cross-dribble, constantly pressuring Sprewell, who was forced to retreat. Suddenly, Iverson crossover changed direction and pulled to his right hand, Sprewell's attention was highly concentrated, and he moved quickly with broken steps under his feet, but as soon as he made a move under his feet, he saw Iverson pull the ball back, directly shook off Sprewell, and dribbled, Iverson made a direct emergency stop jump shot at the free throw line.

Ewing was about to save to defend, but unfortunately he was still a step too late, and Iverson made a shot.

Hit!

In the final minute, Iverson led the 76ers to an equalizer.

The Knicks didn't give 76 Shinobu a chance to relax, and the Knicks served quickly and quickly advanced to the frontcourt.

However, Ward did not take advantage of the chaos to start attacking, but still pressed the time to play again. With eight seconds left on the offensive clock, Ward hoisted the ball to the interior of the game.

Mo Xi singled Mutombo.

Both men took a deep breath, and one of the most important points of the game was this goal.

Mo Xi didn't attack immediately, but adjusted the position of his body, and then, began to chisel hard?

This is not at all in line with the aesthetic of basketball.

One, two, three......

Mo Xi pushed into the basket in small steps, and surprisingly, Mutombo couldn't stop it.

At this time, Mutombo's face was very ugly, and it was natural for him to be surpassed by a latecomer and still his own junior, but he never expected that this day would come so quickly.

Seeing that nearly four seconds had passed, Mo Xi suddenly turned around and half, directly hooked his hand sideways, and swiped the basket in, Mutombo's defense did not play any role at all.

Larry Brown immediately called a timeout.

The last ball, with nine seconds left, is exactly the time for an attack.

The 76ers are all grim-faced, and they lack a consistent outside shooter.

In such a situation, the 76ers' safest offensive option is to score two points and look for overtime opportunities, but according to Iverson's heart, he still wants a three-point shot.

Three points or two points? If it was Iverson two or three years ago, he would definitely choose three points without hesitation, but after experiencing last season's finals, Iverson really sublimated.

Larry Brown didn't set up the tactics at the first time, but pulled Iverson past him and asked, "Allen, tell me, if you had to shoot the last shot, would you choose three or two?" ”

Iverson originally planned to listen to the coach, but he never expected the coach to ask his opinion, but Iverson didn't have any pause, he replied directly: "Three points, I will choose three points!" ”

Larry Brown suddenly smiled and said, "Come on, now let's look at the tactics." ”

On the other side, on the Knicks' bench, Van Gundy was also arranging defensive tactics, he said: "Pay attention to blocking the space under the basket, if you want to foul, you must pull him down directly, don't give him any chance to score the ball into the ......"

However, at this time, Van Gundy was directly interrupted by Mo Xi

"Three-pointers, they're going to pick three-pointers."

Mo Xi's eyes are blazing, and an indescribable temperament is rising in Mo Xi's body.

Van Gundy was a little annoyed that someone had interrupted him, but when he saw that it was Mo Xi, he didn't know what he suddenly thought of, and directly handed the tactics board to Mo Xi.

Mo Xi unceremoniously took over the tactical board and began to lay out the tactics in place of Van Gundy.

"Pat (Ewing) you go block the pass, Spreville you are here......"

In the final round, Georgetown's two giants are about to play a showdown.
