Chapter 19 Empty Connection!
Paul controlled the ball, dribbled to the frontcourt, and passed to Iverson, who raised his hand and signaled to single Mason! The game entered Iverson's rhythm, Paul, Ariza, Blings and Bai Xiaofei all pulled to the weak side, and the four of them plus the Knicks' Douglas, Chandler, Lautings and Curry made a total of eight people watching Iverson and Mason play!
I saw Iverson shaking his back under his crotch continuously, and the continuous feints shook so that Mason couldn't find the north, Mason is a three-point shooter, and the defense can only be said to be average, which is definitely not good to keep an eye on Iverson, I saw Iverson sacrifice a classic shoulder shake to deceive Mason Porcelain, and Iverson scored an easy layup.
Hornets 53:69 Knicks, Hornets trailed by 16 points.
Although the Knicks' point guard Tony Douglas is playing as a substitute for Felton, he also has a hand to block and dismantle, the next round, Curry mentioned the online blocking, Douglas dribbled and then Curry walked on the left side like a wall with a sturdy body, Paul did not choose to squeeze through, but bypassed, obviously afraid of Douglas's breakthrough, so Douglas immediately shot three points!
"Dang!"
Strike iron!
Bai Xiaofei jumped to his feet and grabbed the first defensive rebound of his NBA career. The moment Bai Xiaofei passed the ball to Paul, Paul was like having eyes on the back of his head, he didn't look at the back, and threw his hands directly to the front! It turned out that at the moment when Douglas shot, Ariza had already predicted this three-point shot, so he asked Brightins to make a block for himself, and killed the enemy basket by himself, Paul made a long pass, and Ariza received the ball and dunked!
Hornets 55:69 Knicks, Hornets are chasing two points! There are only 14 points left in the difference!
The Knicks led by 29 points at halftime, and now the third quarter is only halfway through, and the Hornets have launched a wave of 15-0 attacking frenzy! Knicks head coach Mike D'Antoni couldn't sit still and called a timeout.
Mike D'Antoni wants to say that this person began his career in the NBA, and played for the Kansas City-Omaha Kings, St. Louis Soul and San Antonio Spurs, and he didn't make a name for himself for a few years, and then he went to Europe to pan for gold and joined the Italian Milan Olympia team. He became the club's top scorer and led the team to eight championships in various competitions! Due to his excellent tackling ability, he also earned the nickname "Gentleman Thief"!
D'Antoni's coaching career began in 1990, after retiring in Italy, D'Antoni stayed in Italy, and took up the coaching whip of his parent team, in 1993, led the team to win the European Clark Cup, and then D'Antoni moved to another team in the Italian league, Benetton Treviso, led the team to win three titles, and in 1997, D'Antoni returned to the NBA after having no desire in Europe.
The Nuggets gave D'Antoni a chance, winning only 14 of the 50 games he took over, a performance that clearly failed to impress management, and he served as a scout for the Spurs and assistant coach for the Trail Blazers until 2003, when God once again favored the man with a mustache.
The Phoenix Suns gave D'Antoni a second chance, and D'Antoni grabbed the life-saving straw, climbed out of the quagmire, and soared!
Since 2003, D'Antoni has coached the Phoenix Suns for a total of five seasons, with a win rate of 34.4%, 75.6%, 65.8%, 74.4% and 67.1%, respectively, and in his second season with the Suns, D'Antoni was crowned "NBA Best Head Coach". At that time, the team's combination of Steve Nash and Stoudemire was terrifying, and the Kombat whirlwind, known as "seven seconds to end the fight", not only won many victories for D'Antoni, but also watched and fans bought it, and the only regret may be that this system of heavy offense and light defense has not achieved success in the brutal playoffs, and the good results are only in the Western Conference finals.
In 2008, the Knicks signed D'Antoni with a four-year, $12 million fourth-year team option, but in the Knicks, D'Antoni did not play his magic, winning only 32 games in the 2008-2009 season, and last season, the Knicks won only 29 of the 82 games, and this season has passed 35 games, and the Knicks have won only 14 of them. Although the former veteran Stoudemire played the league's No. 1 interior value, other players were sleepwalking in the game, especially the outside line, which was not unrelated to D'Antoni's tuning, and rumors of D'Antoni's dismissal suddenly spread.
Against this backdrop, D'Antoni is in desperate need of a win to keep his position, and there is no room for mistakes in this seemingly win-winning game!
The topic pulled to the game, the Hornets chased down to only 14 points, D'Antoni did not dare to lose, replaced the substitutes and replaced the starters, Felton, Azubuuk, Gallinari, Stoudemire and Turiaf, while the Hornets replaced Paul and Thornton, and the rest of the players, Iverson, Ariza, Blekins, Bai Xiaofei were all on the court.
At the beginning of the game, the Knicks returned to the tactics of Stoudemire's crazy attack, Stoudemire hit Bai Xiaofei with his back, although Stoudemire's strength is amazing, but Bai Xiaofei's weight is even more amazing, Stoudemire can't stand it, so he turned around and made a shooting feint, Bai Xiaofei ate a loss from Curry, didn't jump, Stoudemire shot again, Bai Xiaofei still didn't jump, the offensive time was running out, Stoudemire shot in a hurry, missed!
Bai Xiaofei raised his hands for a long time, ready to accept this defensive rebound! Suddenly, I saw a figure behind me, "Before Bai Xiaofei could react, swish" had already flown into the sky!
"Dang!"
Stoudemire was behind Bai Xiaofei, and scored with Bai Xiaofei's hands! This slam dunk ignited Madison Square Garden again! The audience suddenly exploded again! This time, there was not only applause for Stoudemire, but also a lot of ridicule and laughter at Bai Xiaofei's voice!
Bai Xiaofei didn't speak, picked up the basketball, and served to Iverson, this is the second time that he was humiliated face-to-face by Stoudemire, before he entered the NBA, he still had illusions about the highest temple of basketball in this world, fantasizing that he could break out of the world, but he didn't expect the ideal to be so plump, the reality is so skinny, and the people who can play here are definitely not ordinary human beings!
Iverson patted Bai Xiaofei's ass and said, "Cheer up, big dinosaur!" You have to understand that the reason why a cowardly person is weak is because he is afraid to accept failure, every player in the NBA is lucky to stand on this floor after experiencing various failures, you don't think too much, just do your best! ”
Bai Xiaofei pursed his lips, looked at Iverson's clear eyes, and nodded.
Iverson took the ball at the top of the three-point arc and made a gesture to block and dismantle, Brightins hurriedly ran over, wanting to block and dismantle Iverson, who knew that Iverson waved his hand and signaled Bai Xiaofei to come over to block and dismantle, Brightins was stunned and walked away stupidly.
Bai Xiaofei was also shocked in his heart, he played relatively few blocking and dismantling tactics, because he did not have the ability to shoot, and his back and passing skills were not very good, why would Iverson let himself do blocking and dismantling?
Thinking about it, Bai Xiaofei hurriedly ran over and stopped.
Iverson used Bai Xiaofei's blocking and dismantling to kill all the way to the basket, and the pre-game scouting report all wrote that Bai Xiaofei had no mid-range shooting ability, so Stoudemire and Felton both put down Bai Xiaofei but Iverson, who had a strong ability to break through in a double pinch!
Iverson hit the basket, Stoudemire's height has been suppressing the space for him to shoot, who knows that Iverson flicked his wrist and threw the ball to the basket! A huge figure soared into the air, grabbed the basketball with both hands, and smashed it into the basket!
"Dang!"
It's Bai Xiaofei! Bai Xiaofei's empty connection and violent buckle! Bai Xiaofei made his third shot to take his first point in the NBA!
Stoudemire and Felton double-pinched Iverson and gave Bai Xiao a chance, and Bai Xiaofei flew into the air to catch the dunk, which made all the fans in the stadium gasp!
The excited Bai Xiaofei hadn't gotten off the frame yet, grabbing the frame with his right hand and pointing at Iverson with his left hand in the air! yelled, "Assists! (Assist!) )”
The basket was pulled by Bai Xiaofei, who weighed three hundred pounds, making an overwhelming "squeak" sound, a crumbling Moyang, the referee hurriedly signaled the game to be suspended, and the staff overhauled the basket!
Bai Xiaofei's violent buckle is full of power, this is really a raptor crossing the river! Let everyone be impressed by Bai Xiaofei!
The fans in the audience were silent for a few seconds, and suddenly burst into a tidal wave of warm applause and cheers for Bai Xiaofei.
The head coach of the Knicks saw that the Hornets were about to get up, and hurriedly called a timeout to suppress the scene. From the court to the bench, Bai Xiaofei was like a hero triumphant, receiving cheers from fans from all walks of life, Iverson stepped forward, patted Bai Xiaofei's ass and said, "Bai, good job!" ”
Hornets 57:71 Knicks, the difference is still 14 points, three minutes from the end of the third quarter!
