Chapter 236: Match Point
Some teams have had a flurry of form after halftime, but the Bulls have not, and they were cheered on by the home crowd as Ben Gordon and Hinrich hit three-pointers again. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"It's funny, this kind of opponent is strong enough, we have to show stronger form."
Lehi shouted, and then burst into the interior and slammed the dunk.
He's completely in a state of excitement, and if you don't get stronger, you'll fail, and that's competitive sports.
Defend better, make fewer mistakes, speed up counter-attacks, and concentrate a little more.
They didn't mess around, they didn't force the opponent to compete with the outside shooting, and the Knicks stepped up their impact on the inside.
Ben Wallace wasn't a showman, giving the Knicks two big hats in a row, but they hit the third time, hit the shot, and then hit the fourth time, causing Ben Wallace to foul.
The Knicks are no longer a team that can't fight hard, so they will fight hard against the other party to see who can't support it first.
The first problem is the Bulls' bench players, who can't score right out of the way when the intensity increases, but the Knicks' bench players aren't afraid.
They've been through the championship and know exactly what they're going to do.
With the opponent hitting consecutive three-pointers, the score was widening, and the Bulls were about to take away the game in waves, but they held it up, and then chiseled it back one ball at a time.
At the end of the third quarter, at 83:88, they didn't let the gap widen.
When the final moment of battle came, Lehi didn't say a word when he was replaced to rest, not because he was tired or in a bad mood, but because his whole mind was already in the game.
At this time, he will not motivate his teammates with words, he will only show them with actions.
When Lehi returned to the court in the fourth quarter, Crawford was making a foul on the free throw, and the score was only 3 points away after the free throw, and the corners of Lehi's mouth curled.
That's it, that's it, the other party has begun to be unable to hold on.
This is not Lehi's delusion, the intensity of this game was stiffly raised by the Knicks, before the Bulls players had physical strength, and they were also very excited emotionally, and they have maintained a high level of condition, but under the intensity brought by the Knicks, they began to fatigue.
Shooting percentages began to drop after fatigue, and for the Bulls' style, their problems came.
"Lehi's defense is very good, Lore Deng has no chance but to pass to Hinrich, the attack time is running out, Hinrich chose to shoot, the ball is deflected."
"Ben Gordon forced his shot, the ball still didn't go in, and the Bulls seemed to be in a scoring drought all of a sudden, and they felt really good in the first three quarters, but now it seems like there's a problem."
"It was Lehi, and Lehi's breakaway caused a foul on PJ Brown...... entered, it was 2+1, and he took the lead in breaking the deadlock at the critical moment, which is the style of a superstar. ”
At 5:05, Lehi hit a free throw, and the two sides tied 100:100.
At 4 minutes and 28 seconds, Lehi hit two more points under the cover of his teammates, 102:100, the Knicks achieved a comeback, and the Bulls had not scored a point for three minutes.
The opponent called a timeout, and Larry Brown took the opportunity to affirm the players on the team's defense, asking them to keep it up, and offensively, Lehi's judgment on the court would be more useful.
After the timeout, it turned out to be Ben Wallace who found an opportunity under the basket, Hinrich went straight to the bottom of the basket, Big Ben got up to dunk, and Eddie Curry quickly fouled.
Ben Wallace hit one of two free throws to make it 102-101, and the atmosphere on the court was already tense.
Turning the Knicks to attack, Lehi receives the ball with his back, this is basically the Knicks' routine at the critical moment, he receives the ball with his back and sees the position of his teammates completely, where he can pass out immediately when he runs out of the vacancy, and he can also eat hard and turn around to break through.
Luol Deng did not dare to relax in the slightest in defense, and after Lehi received the ball this time, he did not hesitate to turn around and hit a jumper.
Domineering attacks, enough self-confidence, strong abilities.
Although Lore Deng was not bad defensively, he didn't expect Lehi's decisiveness at all, and he didn't have time to react accordingly, so he was scored by Lehi.
The Knicks' defense has always been tight, and the ball is also handed to Lore Deng for transfer, and a forward with enough height will often do this kind of work, because the height and arm length can easily pass the ball, and it doesn't even require too much skill.
But this time, when Lore Deng received the ball, his body staggered, and Lehi took the opportunity to squeeze over and cut the ball away, and the referee hesitated, but still did not blow the whistle.
And the Knicks have completed the fast break quickly, and Marbury scored a layup, 106:101.
Luol Deng reacted to the situation with the referee in frustration, saying that it was Lehi who pushed him behind him just now, and the referee shook his head, Lehi just exerted his strength, but did not use his hands, just a physical confrontation within the scale.
This kind of rhythm change defense can't be used too much, but one use can change the situation when it counts.
With a five-point lead and the final three minutes, the Bulls had to call another timeout.
Larry Brown went on to tell the players to stay defensive and not give the opposition a shot from the outside.
Ben Gordon singled once after the timeout, and it might have been easier to give a capable player a single at a critical time, but he missed the shot.
The next Knicks' offense, Lehi's mid-range shot also missed.
The time quickly entered the last 2 minutes, and the Bulls were getting more and more anxious, and 5 points didn't look like much, but under the Knicks' defense, it was not easy to score points.
Hinrich also tried a three-point shot, but still missed, and in the ongoing confrontation with Francis, Hinrich finally became a little consumed.
At 1:12, Ben Gordon finally hit a three-point shot against the defense, and the Bulls also saw hope.
The Knicks took a timeout and replaced Crawford.
Lehi controlled the time with the ball, and in the last seconds of the offensive time, Channing Frye came up to cover, but Lehi shot directly.
While controlling the time, he was also adjusting his breathing, and Channing Fry rushed up to the other party thinking that they were another old tactic, but Lehi took this as a signal, took a step from the three-point line, and hit a three-point shot.
It's crazy, it's crazy, this ball makes the hearts of the Bulls players tighten, how can you prevent this.
The Bulls didn't have a timeout, and they put their hopes on the big heart Ben Gordon, who dribbled directly across the half court and also pulled up and shot under cover.
But he wasn't Lehi, and the Bulls had no choice but to foul after missing the shot, and the Knicks were good at free throws.
At 113:104, the Knicks won one away game and won the match point 3:1. (To be continued.) )
