At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Rick Schmitz scored two points with a mid-range shot, and the difference between the two teams was only three points!

As the second leader of the Pacers, Schmitz's mid-range shooting is very accurate. Although Li Wei has always kept Da Z to restrain him, almost making them the same as above, but Da Z can't completely prevent him from death.

To be honest, if Schmitz is not as good as usual and the hit rate drops, Big Z can make a big credit!

The Knicks organized the offense, the Pacers' defense was very tight this round, no one ran out of the open space, and Garnett saw this and hoisted the ball to the big Z on the inside!

Big Z held the ball in the waist position, hit Schmitz twice, then rolled over and hooked his hand, and the ball fell steadily into the basket!

At 85:80, the Knicks continue to lead!

"Beautiful!" Gumbell exclaimed, "Our rookie center had a very impressive performance today, although he threw a few inexplicable three-pointers in the opening game, which was puzzling, but the defense managed to limit Schmitz, and now the two can still go back and forth." ”

Fraser said: "That's right, Schmitz has only scored seven points so far, and that's all due to Big Z. He's had a great chance this year, and he has no center in New York, so he can only start and maybe win a Rookie of the Year trophy. ”

Gumbell said: "Don't rejoice too early, we can't talk about the hero, hopefully he can keep up today's performance during the long season!" ”

"Maybe he'll hit the rookie wall? Ha ha. Fraser chuckled.

For the next few rounds, the two sides took turns playing iron until Garnett slipped the ball into the basket with a slippery cut!

Looking back, Mark Jackson waved a three-pointer and scored!

87：83！

On the court, Garnett and Reggie Miller continued to spit trash talk to each other, while Li Wei and Bird each stared wide-eyed, nervously observing the situation on the court!

Little by little, the score staggered forward, with Houston scoring, Mullin scoring, Garnett hitting iron, Reggie Miller hitting iron......

By the last minute, the Knicks were still five points ahead!

Then the two sides hit two more irons, and there were only fifty seconds left!

"Even though I let you go, you still have no hope of winning!" Li Wei said loudly.

Bird snorted coldly: "The game is not over yet, don't be complacent too early!" ”

It's too late, it's too fast, and at this tense juncture, the Pacers played another no-ball screen tactic, and Reggie Miller bypassed the screen to get the ball!

Boos rang out throughout Madison Square Garden!

As soon as Miller gets the ball, everyone shushes, this is the practice of Madison Garden, and no one will let go of this public enemy of New York!

Listening to the overwhelming boos at home in New York, Reggie Miller's eyes sparkled!

He's a big player with a big heart!

Ordinary players will play excellent statistics in the regular season, but when it comes to the stage of the playoffs, the two sides are fighting to the death, the bayonets are red, the defensive intensity rises sharply, and all the statistics will also decline!

Even Wilt Chamberlain, the NBA's No. 1 man, can average 30 points per game in the regular season in his career, and only 22.5 points per game in the playoffs!

But Reggie Miller is different, in his previous life, he averaged only 18 points per game in the regular season in his career, but he was able to average 20.6 points per game in the playoffs!

This is a big player, with excellent psychological quality and a strong competitive spirit, the more fierce the confrontation in the game, the greater the intensity, the more fanatical he is!

Today, Reggie Miller's performance was not good, Garnett has been defending him to death, but near the end of the game, the whole game was booing him, and his blood burned again!

"Come, come, even if I am the enemy of the whole world, what shall I Miller fear!"

Catch the ball, stop it, squat slightly, jump!

The whole set of actions in one go!

Garnett was blocked by the covering Dale Davis, but he still made up for it in time, and a big hand like a fan waved down!

"Cover him!" Fraser shouted.

"Oh, I didn't cover it, a little bit worse!" Gambit shouted.

It was indeed a little bit worse, and Miller knew that if he only needed to slow down a little, the ball would be taken down by this long-handed monster hat!

Garnett's hand was so long, he could even see that the long finger was less than a centimeter from the ball!

Luckily, the ball was thrown!

Bang!

It wasn't a normal shot, and Miller raised the arc in order not to get capped. But after the ball drew a wonderful arc, it still fell steadily into the basket!

3 points!

108-106, the Knicks only led by two points!

"Damn, Reggie Miller is close to the score!" Fraser said in chagrin.

Gumbell said: "Every time Reggie Miller gets the ball, my heart jumps and he scores!" ”

"We can't let him score any more, we're still ahead and we can win!" ”

Gumbell said: "That's right, the team must be steady, steady!" ”

The Knicks started to attack, and Bird yelled from the sidelines: "Defend their two-pointers, defend two-pointers, and especially choke the break!" ”

The Knicks' players all glanced at Li Wei.

Everyone knows that the closer you get to the basket, the more accurate you are, and at the last moment, it's safer to shoot two points!

Li Wei also knows that two points are more accurate than three points, but the Knicks don't have any very good single players, and the Pacers are also two points!

Rather than using a routine that he hadn't usually practiced, he felt that it would be better to maintain his style!

"Don't panic! We are still ahead, playing as usual! Li Wei shouted.

Since the coach let him play as usual, Garnett continued to be the playmaker, and the shooter was running!

Bo Outlaw made a very good quality pick-and-roll, and Houston ran outside the three-point line!

Because Bird let everyone defend two points, after Reggie Miller was blocked, no one made up for it!

Houston's chances are great, and he throws it up!

And then—

"Bang", the iron is struck!

The marksman misses the ball!

"Oops!" The whole Madison Square Garden is sighing!

Dale Davis grabbed the defensive rebound and immediately called a timeout!

Bird picked up the tactical board, his face sinking like water.

Houston missed key shots, and luck seemed to have sided with the Pacers. With 28 seconds left and only two points left, the Pacers have a chance of turning the tables around with just one more goal to score!

He's going to lay out his tactics well and get the Knicks!

On the other side, Li Wei glanced at Daley: "Chuck! ”

Chuck Daley picked up the tactics board and drew the defensive points for the final ball, and the players watched silently.

Li Wei has learned a lot this summer, but he has not been able to get started so quickly, and is currently only responsible for the team's offense. New York's defensive system is jointly responsible for Chuck Daley, Brandon Malone and others, so how to defend the last ball, Chuck Daley has the final say.

After Daley finished explaining the details, Li Wei said loudly: "We must keep an eye on Reggie Miller, he is the one who executes the lore on the Pacers' side!" ”

"Coach, don't worry!" Garnett and the others replied loudly.

The two teams are back on the court, and the Pacers have another figure-of-eight tactic, with Mark Jackson organising, Schmitz and Dale Davis doing the piles, and Mullin and Miller crossing!

Fraser already recognized this tactic, and immediately shouted when he saw this battle: "Ouch, this is a three-point shot, the Pacers don't seem to be ready to play overtime, one shot is sure to win or lose!" ”

Gumbell said: "Will Reggie Miller carry out this shot?" ”

"That's for sure!" Fraser shouted.

On the field, Garnett chased Reggie Miller to the death, not giving the other party a trace of space.

Mark Jackson hesitated, but threw the ball to Miller!

Reggie Miller received the ball, and the audience once again burst into earth-shattering boos!

Garnett also raised his big hand in the air!
