The combination of Roy and Porzingis sounded the clarion call for the Knicks to chase points, and the conscious Hornacek also chose to press Anthony to the bench at this time.

In the second half of the third quarter, the main forces of the two sides rose, and the score rose alternately, and Anthony could only sit on the bench. At this time, the arrogant "social melon brother" has already shown a trace of dissatisfaction.

However, he is not an impulsive, headless Rajon Rondo, he can't do the kind of stupid thing that throws his hands back to the locker room in anger, which will only make himself ugly in front of the media, and that will only make him the laughing stock of the fans. He disdains to do that, he has his own "social means".

After the third quarter, the Knicks led by 3 points at 84:81, Roy and Porzingis' blocking tactics completely penetrated the Bulls' defense, Roy scored 8 points and 4 assists in a single quarter, and Porzingis made 3 three-pointers and scored 11 points alone. And if the Bulls hadn't scored three three-pointers in a row like Wade, the score would have lost even more.

Hornacek smiled rarely, now leading is a luxury for the Knicks, the Knicks lost a total of 54 points in the first four games, an average of more than 13 points per game, and today can take the lead before the start of the fourth quarter, it is really touching New York.

But Hornacek still has a heart problem that has not been solved, that is, what to do with Anthony? Today, "Melon" was in a sloppy state again, and it was almost like half a man was missing half of the team to play today, without putting him under as much pressure as he would have to play in the fourth quarter.

Just when Hornacek was in a dilemma, assistant coach Kurt Rambis suddenly walked over with a wrinkled brow.

"Jeff, Steve (Mills) called me just now and asked why you didn't let Melo (Anthony) play, how do you think I should reply?"

What to do? Isn't it just about putting Anthony on the court?

Hearing Rambis's words, Hornacek was annoyed, as a head coach, the most annoying thing is that someone interferes with his command. Although Mills didn't say it, his intention was clear, and he had to play Anthony in the fourth quarter.

In fact, in the NBA, there are not many examples of owners and general managers participating in the team's on-the-spot use, command, and tactics. But the New York Knicks are such a strange team, and the infighting between Steve Mills and Phil Jackson has reached a critical point, and Mills will not watch others mess with his good deeds.

Hornacek was a smart man, he knew his thin arms couldn't twist Mills' thick thighs, and he couldn't get involved in the team's management struggles.

The only thing he can do is to protect himself.

Anthony got his wish, and he was joined by Rose, Roy, Porzingis and Noah, the strongest lineup the Knicks could put out. Hornacek thought about it, since you are going to fight, then simply let the players decide their own fate.

Just as Hornacek had guessed, after Anthony came on the court, the Knicks immediately seemed to have half a man missing, and Jimmy Butler, who was opposite Anthony, suddenly came alive, and he was able to get a chance to shoot in a comfortable position again.

But unlike the previous four games, the Knicks players are no longer only famous wooden people, after Anthony missed the first two shots, they adjusted their tactics on the court, Rose consciously gave up the ball to Roy control, and Noah also took the initiative to increase the cooperation with Roy.

Unconsciously, the Knicks' team members have gathered around Roy, if in the past Rose and Noah would have been worldly and worldly to serve Anthony as the boss, then they can't do that today. They've got to win, they've got to earn respect in Chicago, and they're very clear at the moment about who is going to lead them to victory, who is the real heart of the team.

Anthony is no longer the team's privileged player, at least on the field, and the rest of the four have reduced the number of players they feed him under his successive iron performances.

The game is getting a little weird, and the Bulls are slowly seeing the situation, and the previous bag on Anthony has been used on Roy, and Anthony seems to have become a rookie player that no one cares about.

Roy enjoyed the treatment of the team's boss for the first time in the NBA, and he was frequently caught in the bag when he was attacking. However, even so, Roy and Porzingis' blocking and pick-and-roll tactics are still efficient, whether it is Roy's self-attack after blocking people, or Roy's assist to Porzingis after dismantling, it is all wonderful.

On the Bulls' side, Wade and Butler took turns attacking and defending the black hole Anthony, and in order to reverse this passive situation, Hornacek could only change the defense to a joint defense and put Anthony independent from the defensive system.

In this way, the two sides almost maintained each other's explosive style of play into the last 2 minutes of the game, and the score was tied at 100 at this time.

The Knicks still had the ball, and the Chicago fans in the stadium were all on their feet, and it was the final showdown moment.

Roy and Porzingis had played four of the previous five times, and now the attacking methods of the two of them are no secret at all. The Bulls put in place a new defensive strategy during the timeout, and Hojberg came up with a way to give the Knicks an unexpected variable in the final two minutes of the game and make them "suddenly die."

Hojborg's tactics were man-to-man and early pinching, which was a very ferocious move.

Sure enough, just after Roy's dribble, the Bulls' defense suddenly increased, not only Wade and Butler surrounded together, but the other three players also entangled their respective defenders and cut off Roy's passing route.

The only vacant spot was on Anthony's side, and the Bulls actually let Anthony go empty! This was something that would have been absolutely unimaginable before, but it happened.

Roy's only remaining passing route was Anthony, but Anthony was so far away from Roy that he didn't bother to come over to answer it.

Roy was cornered and was about to make a mistake, and in a hurry, Roy quickly called a timeout.

"The Bulls' defense has increased, you have to run more positions, you have to respond more, you can't stand still and play, you know?" Hornacek's remarks seemed to have been given to Anthony alone, but Anthony went his own way back on the pitch.

All of Roy's routes were blocked, and the Bulls players burned their energy as if they were dying, and they planned to use all their strength into the final 1 minute and 45 seconds.

The only person who can pass the ball is still Anthony, which is like a trap for the Bulls, but Roy has no choice, he can only obediently drill in, otherwise what awaits him is a mistake.

Anthony was content to get the ball, and he wasn't in a hurry to shoot, until 1 second later Butler was back in front of him, and Anthony pouted his ass and began to unhurriedly back to the single.

What are you doing! Roy was anxious, but he failed to get close to Anthony twice, and Anthony was determined to go it alone.

With two seconds left in the 24-second offensive time, Anthony turned and shot.

"It's short." Roy's heart tightened, and the ball really hit the basket, and the long-hand Gibson got the rebound.

The Bulls, who got the ball, were also unhurried, with 1 minute and 31 seconds left in the game, and now they must ensure a success rate every time they attack.

The safest way for the Bulls to play is to attack Anthony, this time it was changed to Butler to single Anthony, he also pressed the time to shoot, he was also a pouting back single, he was also a turnaround backward jumper, but Butler's "Jordan-style backward jumper" was extremely stable.

The ball was scored and the Bulls led by two points at 102:100 with 1:08 left on the game time.

Hornacek immediately called a timeout.

"The Bulls will definitely wrap me up in the next game, we have to change our tactics......" After Hornacek laid out his regular tactics, Roy deliberately whispered a few words to Porzingis and Noah.

Roy guessed correctly, the Bulls, who had tasted the sweetness, certainly wouldn't change their established tactics, only this time, they were in trouble. Porzingis ran to the halfway line before serving to block Butler, who rushed to the pack. Taking advantage of this half second, Roy and Wade formed a one-on-one, he stepped out of his legs and ran quickly, Wade saw clearly, Roy was ready to cut into the penalty area from a 45-degree angle, and his speed would not lose to Roy.

Wade's speed is indeed very fast, but in front of him, there is suddenly a big mountain, and at some point, Noah also ran out of the restricted area, and the Knicks played a double block!

Wade slammed into Noah's back, and the referee didn't say anything. Roy was already empty in front of him, and he immediately shot a three-pointer.

"Nice arcs." Hornacek clenched his fists.

The ball is in, three points! The court was silent for a moment, and the Knicks once again overtook the score, 103-102, with 49 seconds left in the game, to be precise, both teams had one offensive chance.

The Bulls decisively requested a timeout.

"After the ball was scored, Wade started pressing Roy from the serve, and pay attention to their double block pick-and-roll in the high post...... "Yes, Hoyberg spent most of the timeout talking about how to defend Roy.

For him, breaking through the Knicks' loose defense is no problem, but it is Roy's offense that worries him, but fortunately, the Knicks have no timeout, and after this game, they can only rely on the last fight.

Hornacek also knows that his team has no timeout, but he can't be as calm as Hojborg, he has too many things to set up, such as how to defend the Bulls' ball-handling singles, how to make up for the defensive gaps left by Anthony, and as for the offense, he can only rely entirely on Roy's play.

The Bulls' offense really gave Butler a single, and he was the most consistent scoring point in the game. But how could Hornacek not know that when Butler was about to start, Rose was like a lightning bolt and gave up Isaiah Cannan, who had a mediocre shot, to pinch Butler in advance, which was Honacek's gambling tactic.

But Butler didn't choose to pass, a tall figure blocked Rose for him, and the Bulls also played a pick-and-roll, and it was also a double block. Robin Lopez and Ty Gibson both mentioned high pick-and-roll, and Butler took the opportunity to get inside and opted for a light throw against his old teammate Noah.

The ball is in! With the heart-rending shouts of the MC on the spot, the fans in the audience cheered again, 104:103, with only 25 seconds left in the game time, and the victory of the Bulls was within reach.

"It's too hard, I think it's too hard for the Knicks to get down in the game, they don't have a timeout, and Wade is clinging to Roy like a shadow right now."

Pippen was describing the scene on the court at this time, with the Bulls players frantically rushing the Knicks players like chickens, and Roy being treated in the backcourt.

Rose struggled to get the ball, and he had just avoided the embarrassment of an eight-second violation through midfield, but the court was already in chaos.

The high-decibel noises of the fans and the waving inflatable rods upset Rose, Wade almost completely covered Roy, Noah was too far to make a pass, Porzingis was cornered by Gibson's desperate defense around the front, only Anthony still had a chance, he was reaching for the ball.

Do you want to give it to him? Or do you want to attack on your own?

Rose was a little hesitant, not playing for so long, making him doubt his ability to finish the fight, and the clock was ticking by.

15 seconds, 14 seconds, 13 seconds......

Rose almost gritted his teeth and handed the ball to Anthony.

Victory or defeat? Heaven or Hell? All eyes were on Anthony.

With no packs, no help defenses, Butler was confident he could defend Anthony one-on-one, as he had always done.

Anthony twisted his ass, he pushed in inch by inch from a 45-degree angle of the three-point line, still that rhythm, still that position, Anthony seized the opportunity to turn and shoot, which is what he is best at scoring - stepping back and turning to shoot.

"Nice arcs." Hornacek was also unsparing in his praise for Anthony's shot, which he hoped to call into the basket in such a superstitious way.

Everyone's hearts are raised in their throats, to go in or not to enter? Victory or defeat?

"It's short!" Just when everyone was looking forward to the ending, only Roy found out about the situation, and like the previous ball, this ball was still short. That's the conclusion he came to by watching Anthony's shooting every day, and it's also the feedback from Rojc's high ball quotient, that the ball was a little bit off, just like that defeat for the Grizzlies.

Seeing that the time was about to run out, Wade also relaxed his attention, he thought that the game would be over when the ball was thrown, and the winner would be decided, and he ignored Roy.

Roy rushed to the bottom of the basket with all his might, while Noah and Lopez were holding each other down and unable to move, while Gibson followed Porzingis to the high post, and Roy rushed to the basket unimpeded.

"Oh no!" Wade only reacted at this time, Roy went to make up the basket, Wade immediately started to chase, forgive him for being a "Flash" and couldn't run away from the time.

The ball was really short, bounced off the basket and jumped slightly, and Noah and López jumped almost at the same time, both of them reaching out their big hands.

Time came to the last 1 second, a long hand suddenly fell from the sky, and a figure suddenly descended under the basket. It was Roy, who jumped higher than both Noah and López, his long hand surpassed everything, just a slight poke of his fingertips, and almost at the same time, the red light of the rebound came on, the buzzer sounded, and the game was over.

“O。” The fans at the stadium exclaimed in unison because after it was all over, the basketball fell into the net bag, and it all happened so fast that no one could react immediately.

The referee was stunned, the players were stunned, and the audience was stunned.

Only Roy's determined gaze and his repeated "2 points valid" gesture.

"What a surprise, when did Roy come to the basket? While everyone is waiting for the verdict of fate, Roy wants to change his life. ”

"Whether the goal was scored or not, it seems that the referee can only judge through the slow-motion video, which is really incredible, how did Roy judge that the goal could not be scored? From our point of view, it seemed like the goal was going to go in. ”

"Whether the ball has been scored or not, let's watch the video replay together......"

A few seconds later, referee Callahan walked to the center of the field, his face blank, and he resolutely pointed a "two" gesture to the ground.

The score is valid! The New York Knicks beat the Chicago Bulls in the final minute!
