Chapter 313: Two consecutive wins away from home
At the beginning of the third quarter, Larry Brown made some adjustments, especially in response to Nesterovic's unfamiliarity with the Knicks system, and hit a few good shots to tie the score at one point.
Li Wei changed to Big Ben in time, and at the same time put out a small-ball lineup of Nash, Charlie Ward, Alan Houston, and Garnett.
At the end of the fourth quarter, Iverson relied on his personal ability to stage a wave of scoring dramas, which surprised Li Wei in a cold sweat.
However, the Knicks are not afraid of the 76ers' offense.
The Heat's offense revolves around Mourning and Tim Hardaway's inner and outer cores, and is paired with top shooters such as Malley and Woshan Leonard, which is more difficult to defend, and the 76ers don't have so many tricks, which is Iverson's single-core drive. Brown just recognized that there was almost no one in the league who could defend Iverson, and the sword went off the rails.
However, the Knicks have a Charlie Ward who is also not tall and fast.
Now Charlie Ward has not suffered a major injury, can run and crash, and when it comes to the restriction on Iverson, he is somehow higher than Tyronn Lue in the Finals in his previous life.
What's more, Charlie Ward has big Ben and Garnett and other assistant defense masters behind him, wiping his ass at any time.
Garnett and Daben's assistance defense ability is the top in history, ordinary people want to cry when they meet one, Iverson meets two at once, and Dabo is also a master in terms of assistance defense!
Iverson passed the first year of junior high school, but he couldn't pass the fifteenth, even if the feeling and state came, he could explode in a wave, but he couldn't last.
The Knicks got serious, and sure enough, there was no danger, and finally won 94-90!
Allen Iverson had a good hand in this game, hitting 13 of 26 shots and scoring 35 points alone, causing the entire home fans to shout MVP.
Matt Geiger scored 16 points and 11 rebounds on 6-of-9 shooting under Nesterovic's defense, which is also a good strength.
Eric Snow had 10 points and 10 assists, Ratliff had 6 points, 2 rebounds and 2 blocks, George Lynch had 6 points, 6 rebounds and 2 steals, and Aaron McGee had 10 points and 3 assists.
On the Knicks' side, Alan Houston had 18 points, Garnett had 17 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds, Da Yao had 3 points and 5 boards, Charlie Ward had 12 points and 3 assists, Bo Outlow had 7 points and 6 boards, Nowitzki had 14 points, and Nash had 13 points.
Nesterovic played 20 minutes in this game, 8 points and 3 boards, and due to the exercise of Ouchi, Big Ben's playing time was compressed to 18 minutes, and as a result, this guy actually took 10 rebounds in such a small amount of time, in addition to scoring 2 points and sending 3 blocks.
There was a day off on May 19, and May 20 was Game 2 of the playoffs.
In this game, the Knicks still kept pressing the 76ers to play, and the referee saw this and blew a lot of home whistles to help the 76ers recover the score.
However, in the second round, the home whistle generally does not blow too badly. The Knicks' first round of life-and-death battles was made to the death because such a thing as Black Eight was too unbelievable, and the referee tried to avoid accidents as much as possible.
So, despite the home whistle, the 76ers still lost, 85-82, a three-point loss.
Iverson scored just 23 points on 7-of-28 shooting, Matt Geiger had 18 points and 11 rebounds, Ratliff had 12 points and 12 rebounds, and Snow had eight points and six assists.
On the Knicks' side, Garnett felt very good, hitting a quasi-triple-double of 25 points, 10 assists and 8 rebounds, which blew up Ratliff and amazed the audience. Alan Houston had 17 points, Big Ben had seven points and seven rebounds, and Nowitzki had a cold hand and only scored four points.
After winning two away games in a row, the team returned to New York with joy.
On May 21, the whole team trained as usual.
During the lunch break, Li Wei went to the president's office and asked Xia Cuirong to exercise for a while, and when he returned to his office, he immediately found Dinah guarding the room.
"Great, I just didn't enjoy it!" Li Wei hugged Dina directly.
Because the evolution is a relatively special system, Li Wei's ideas in some aspects are particularly strong, Xia Cuirong is already pregnant with a second child, he doesn't dare to go too far, and now that Dinah is here, he can fight again.
"Ahem, don't worry, you go inside first!" Dinah said.
"Inside?" Li Wei blinked.
His current office is the same as Xia Cuirong's president's office, which is a suite, working outside and resting inside. In the past, Dinah didn't care about the occasion, as long as the door was closed, why did she have to go inside today?
"Go ahead, someone is waiting for you, you look for her first!" Dinah nudged Li Wei.
Li Wei walked into the room suspiciously, and actually saw another woman, isn't this Becky Harmon?
When I came back, you were waiting for me in the office, and I really didn't see it!
Li Wei wanted to refuse, but looking at Dinah outside, he had already done Harmon last time, and now it is too hypocritical to refuse, so it's better not to let Dinah laugh!
Soon, Li Wei found that Harmon was a good fit for him.
Although this girl is not pretty, but she is an athlete, has good physical strength, and can resist, Li Wei has always been lonely and defeated since she evolved, and now she meets an opponent with strong combat power, of course, it is happy.
In the end, Harmon was defeated, and he was defeated.
Li Wei put her away and went outside to find Dinah.
Dina is still a stingy person, and usually when she is enough, she will beg Li Wei to stop. But Li Wei didn't care about her today, and Dina was already fainting after the trouble.
"It's really lonely to be invincible!"
Li Wei sighed, then closed the door and went to practice in the training ground.
Back in New York, these two home games are back-to-back games.
The shortened season has a tight schedule and heavy tasks, so in order to avoid back-to-back situations in the East and West finals, it can only be done in the second round.
In fact, not only New York and the 76ers are back-to-back, but the Spurs and Lakers, Jazz and Trail Blazers are also back-to-back. It's been a devastating season, and a lot of things don't work out of the ordinary.
On the evening of May 23, Game 3 of the second round of the playoffs officially kicked off at Madison Square Garden.
Sylvia and Scyke also went to the sidelines to watch the game.
Xie Siqi: "Meow! ”
Sylvia: "Meow! ”
Xie Siqi: "Meow meow meow!" ”
Sylvia: "Meow meow! ”
Li Wei knocked on the heads of the two of them: "Don't meow outside, it's not good for others to hear!" ”
Sylvia wrinkled her little face and said, "What is meow coming and going, I'm chatting with Siqi!" ”
Xie Siqi nodded and said, "Meow!" ”
Li Wei said: "Nonsense, I've been meowing there, what can I talk about?" ”
Sylvia said: "Why can't we talk, I said that Dad is so handsome today, Siqi said no, he looks so decrepit!" ”
Xie Siqi said: "You are lying, I am saying that my father is handsome, and it is you who is declining!" ”
"Alright, don't make a fuss." Li Wei sighed helplessly.
At this time, Da Yao came over and chuckled: "Li Yaqi, I haven't seen you for a few days, did you fail the exam and let your father be grounded?" ”
Xie Siqi and Xie Yongqi are actually surnamed Li now, and Sylvia saw that their names were in the format of Li Qi, and also gave herself a Chinese name, called Li Yaqi.
Seeing Da Yao greeting him in Chinese, Sylvia frowned and asked Li Weidao, "Dad, what is a grounding?" ”
Xie Siqi smiled: "It's our dad who locked you up at home and didn't let you come out." ”
Sylvia stopped doing it: "No, meow, I won't be grounded by my dad, and my grades are very good, and my GPA has always been a perfect score." ”
Da Yao said: "So you can be admitted to high school?" ”
Sylvia was speechless and said, "I'm originally a high school student, okay?" ”
Da Yao knocked on his head and said, "Oh, you're a high school student, Siqi isn't!" ”
Xie Siqi raised his head and said, "I will be able to go to high school in the second half of the year!" ”
Unlike in China, primary education in the United States is 8 years, and high school is 4 years, that is, grades 9-12, so Americans usually go to high school one year earlier than children in China.
Xie Siqi came here and found that her primary school had an extra year, and she was very unconvinced, so Li Wei helped her hire a lot of tutors. Now she can finally enter high school in only 8 years like everyone else.
