Eyes swept over the bench and Pale Riley's eyes were on the team's water cooler patron saint, Doon Cowswell.

Once upon a time, Doon Coswell was also in the NBA. He was the No. 18 rookie in the first round in '90 and secured the position of the Kings' starting center in his rookie year.

As in most fairy tales, every NBA player who doesn't play is an angel with broken wings.

Doon Coswell suffered a major injury in the third grade, jumping from the team's main center to a marginal man, and at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve, he can only guard the water cooler in the Heat!

However, in terms of height, Coswell, who is 2.13 meters, is the tallest on the Heat team, and in terms of weight, Coswell is also the heaviest on the Heat team. At a juncture when the team didn't have a heavyweight interior line, Pat Riley still put him in the playoff squad!

"Doon, can you defend that European for five minutes?" Riley asked aloud.

Mourning is too short and has to support the team on the offensive end, although PJ Brown can be used as a livestock, but there are times when he is tired, let him defend against Big Z after defending Garnett, and not give a little rest, it's too embarrassing!

If they continue to play like this, they will not be able to survive until the fourth quarter!

So Riley hopes that Doon Cowswell can get on the court for a while to give Moring and PJ Brown time to rest!

As soon as Coswell heard the coach call his name, he was very excited, and immediately stood up and said, "Coach, don't worry, wrap it up on me!" ”

Riley patted him on the shoulder approvingly: "Give it all your strength, just five minutes, I'm sure you're still the same Doon with NBA starter strength!" ”

"That's what I thought, too!" Coswell shouted.

On the sidelines, Eric Reid shouted, "Oops, Coach Riley actually replaced Doon Coswell, this adjustment is also very bold!" ”

Jack Ramsey said: "He definitely wants Coswell to defend the Knicks' center and give the main players time to rest. ”

Eric Reed said, "Jack, do you think Coswell can restrain Big Z?" ”

Jack Ramsay said: "It's possible. He is the tallest and strongest man on the Heat team, although he is a little older and not at his peak, but he has a lot of experience, and he usually just doesn't have the opportunity to play......"

Before Ramsey's words of praise were finished, the big Z on the field squeezed Coswell and came to an elegant hook!

Swish!

The ball went in, and the Knicks scored 2 more points!

"You've got it!" Pat Riley yelled from the sidelines.

"If you make a mistake, I will definitely prevent him in the next ball!" Coswell Road.

In the next round, the Knicks' ball fell three times and fell twice, and it was in the hands of Big Z again, and then Big Z dragged it hard and squeezed Coswell to hook and score!

Riley's whole face was black, and Coswell's head was in a cold sweat!

In the third round, Coswell didn't dare to slack off, and used his strength to push Big Z out of the paint area, and then saw Big Z catch the ball and come to a flowing mid-range shot!

Swish!

It's in again!

Riley stomped his foot, didn't bother to accuse anymore, and just glared at Coswell with murderous eyes!

Coswell was in such a hurry, he just made a military order before he went on the field, but he was beaten up, is there anyone more miserable than him in the world?

In the fourth round, he used almost all his energy, pushing, pulling, squeezing, and dragging, and he didn't stop if he didn't die!

But Big Z is not the kind of stupid big man who only knows how to work hard, he actually used a feint to trick Coswell into losing his balance, and then calmly hit the basket and scored a slam dunk!

When the big Europeans slammed the ball into the basket, the fans in the stadium booed Coswell!

The poor Temple University student turned his head and saw PJ Brown standing up on the sidelines.

Substitution!

"Alas, is it over? Why is this happening? Coswell thought silently.

In this cruel alliance, when your strength is inferior to others, courage, confidence, and will cannot save you. Coswell, who was ambitious to play, could only sit on the sidelines again and wave a towel in the end.

At the end of the first quarter, Li Wei said loudly: "Well done, Big Z, keep fighting!" ”

Big Z smiled: "It felt okay just now!" ”

In the second quarter, Li Wei continued to send Big Z to the court, although PJ Brown defended very carefully, but Big Z still continued the state just now, playing well!

In the second half of the quarter, when Li Wei sent today's starting five tigers on the court, the five people who had been accumulating for a long time scored another wave, and the difference in points after halftime was already an astonishing 21 points!

Many of the crowd at the Miami arena have already left the stadium. After all, their home is far away, and the transportation is inconvenient, if they see the whole scene and then rush back, it will be the second half of the night.

Anyway, the team was beaten and had no power to fight back, so it's better not to delay going to work tomorrow!

However, as a famous coach at the level of President Mountain, Pat Riley is not easy to match, and after adjustments, the Heat team was full of momentum in the third quarter, recovering a full 10 points.

But in the fourth quarter, Li Wei and the Knicks didn't give him another chance, and the team won 106:94!

With Nash on defense most of the time, Tim Hardaway played well, scoring 34 points and five assists.

Alonzo Mourning has been trying to bully him since he found out that he was facing Big Ben from the beginning. After all, his height is too short to play center, and it is rare to meet someone who is shorter than himself, so it is really unreasonable not to bully!

It's a pity that the shorter Big Ben is still as hard as a stone, and he didn't let him bully him at all. Mourning made just 6 of 18 shots from the field and 8 of 10 from the free-throw line, scoring 20 points in a very inefficient manner.

Woshan Leonard had a good game, scoring 22 points, Dan Marley only had three points, and PJ Brown had five points and nine boards.

For the Knicks, Alan Houston scored 25 points, and Big Z, who came off the bench, performed better than usual, scoring 22 points, and Nash had 11 points and 11 assists. Garnett didn't play much in this game, mainly for bluffing, scoring only 6 points, but he grabbed 14 rebounds in a cameo appearance, and was also a big contributor to the team's victory.

After the game, the New York media asked Pat Riley loudly: "Coach Riley, what do you think of Coach Lee's adjustment to the Knicks in this game?" ”

Pat Riley was speechless for a long time before solemnly saying that the team played a very bad game and allowed the opponent to score so many points, which is by no means at the level of the Heat.

Next, the Heat will learn a lesson and strive for two consecutive wins on the road, and the Heat should not and will not delay too long in the first round!

On the other side, Li Wei faced an interview with the media and said very blandly: "This Knicks played their own style, but they still didn't perform well defensively. The team will continue to adjust and try to win the series. ”

The New York media quickly reported the news that the Knicks beat the Heat away and chased the score to a 1-1 draw.

Although no one thinks the Knicks can win this series, it is also a great pleasure for the team to slap Riley in the face on the home court of the Heat!

In the last playoffs, the Knicks and the Heat tied up too deeply, and the Heat and Riley were public enemies of New York!
