This is indeed a very crucial game, if the Pacers win, the big score will become 3:1, and then there will be an away game in Indiana, which is basically no play.

But if the Knicks win, the big score will become a 2:2 draw, and New York still has hope of qualifying!

Larry Bird saw the Knicks chase the deficit to 2 points and immediately called a timeout. It can be seen that he is very dissatisfied with the team's offense and defense in these few rounds.

On the other side, Li Wei said to the Knicks' players: "Yes, just play like this, our tactic is to play blindly, win, win the Eastern championship, lose, go home and fish!" ”

The Knicks' players laughed in unison, and the momentum was even stronger.

"22, 23, and 32 and 33, remember?" Li Weidao.

"Remember!" The Knicks' crowd said.

Although these four tactics have added a few changes, they have been practiced many times in the past few days, so it's no wonder that they can't remember them!

"Big Ben, you replace Lasu, if Schmitz is still on the field, Dirk, you come to the top defense, Big Ben pays attention to the help defense......"

"They're just one three-pointer ahead of us, what should we do?" Li Wei asked.

"Shoot a three!" Da Yao replied.

"Hahaha!" The other players chuckled.

Li Weidao: "Da Yao is right, we have to shoot a three-point first in the fourth quarter!" ”

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Knicks played a bull horn tactic, and Nash broke through and gave the ball to Stephen Jackson in the bottom corner, and the opponent hit a three-point shot!

73：73！

The Pacers attack, Jalen Rose hits the iron!

The Knicks attacked, Garnett organized in the high post, and played a pick-and-roll with Nowitzki.

The referee blew the whistle and blew a scrum!

"You can't compete with me, dwarf!" Davis trash talk at Big Ben, then looked at the ball.

"If I were you, I wouldn't brag!" Big Ben replied coldly.

The referee threw the ball up, and the short big Ben sprang out like a rocket, and flicked the ball to Garnett!

Garnett broke through and passed to Stephen Jackson, who raised his hand and was a hit!

"Dang!"

The basketball bounced high, Big Ben squeezed in front of Davis like lightning, and then grabbed this frontcourt rebound!
