In any series in the history of the league, the team that fell behind 0-3 has never created a miracle, and once it is 0-3, it is equivalent to saying that this team has been sentenced to death by God, but it is only a matter of time before the knife on the head falls.

The Knicks are only one step away from death penalty after two consecutive losses, and the importance of Game 3 is self-evident, and there is no way back for the Knicks.

"Cheer up, keep the game focused, give them some color, and let the Toronto fans figure out that the Raptors have only won two, not four!"

The third game was moved to New York, and in the locker room before the game, Wang Zhuo was doing a mobilization meeting.

said with confidence, in fact, Wang Zhuo did not dare to guarantee that the Knicks would win the game, after all, the situation on the court is changing rapidly, of course, maintaining sufficient self-confidence is beneficial to the game.

"If you lose again, I'll be fucking soft!"

After Wang Zhuo finished speaking, Anthony threw down a sentence fiercely, turned around and left the locker room, and walked straight to the player's tunnel.

Wang Zhuo knew in his heart that Anthony felt deeply remorseful for losing, as a leading star, he did not carry the team forward at the critical moment, but became a colander on the defensive end.

Anthony felt guilty, returned to New York from Toronto, automatically extended his training time by an hour every day, and deliberately increased the intensity of his training, and he held a lot of energy in his chest to prove to others that he was a good leader and that it was his duty to lead the team to victory.

Wang Zhuo saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart, the playoffs are all about fighting hard and ruthlessly, and the loss obviously aroused Anthony's anger, he just hoped that Anthony would play with anger to infect his teammates and home fans.

Coming to New York, Anthony has experienced too many defeats and never touched the floor of the Eastern Conference Finals, and now that he finally sees the light, he has to hold on tightly and not let this glimmer of light disappear too quickly.

On May 7, the third game of the series kicked off at the Madison Square Garden arena, and the live broadcaster announced the starting lineups of both sides, with the Knicks unchanged, the Raptors unchanged, Lowry, DeRozan, Carroll, Patterson and Valanciunas.

When the referee's whistle blew, O'Quinn and Valanciunas jumped in the middle circle, and O'Quinn had a clear bounce advantage, carrying Valanciunas to grab the first attack for the Knicks.

Grant dribbled across the halfcourt, Anthony fell within the 60-degree three-point line on the left side, reached directly for the ball, Grant hit Lowry and passed, Anthony received the ball with his back to Carroll.

Carroll is very fast-moving, good at wing defense, and caused a lot of problems for James in the Eastern Conference finals last year, and the first two games also caused a lot of trouble for Anthony.

Anthony held the ball, Carroll raised his arms, arched his body, and resisted Anthony to the death, and the defense was very fierce.

However, Anthony's attitude was very resolute, first dribbling the ball twice with his back, and finding that he couldn't carry it, he immediately turned around and tried to step and wanted to point up Carroll, but Carroll was not fooled, Anthony did not stop there, faced Carroll, stepped on the three-point line, and directly pulled out the jump shot.

Carroll didn't expect Anthony to attack so resolutely, and jumped hard, hoping to intercept Anthony's ball, but he found that Anthony's shot was very high, and it was impossible to intercept it.

With a "bang", the basketball hollowed into the net, the fans broke out into earth-shattering cheers, and the live broadcaster also chanted "Cameron, gotit!" ”

Wang Zhuo still emphasized the defensive tactics of the first two games before the game, pinching the outside of the Raptors, curbing the firepower of the backcourt double guns, and did not deliberately arrange tactics on the offensive end, he knew that Anthony would definitely take the offensive power after the opening, so he also wanted to see the effect before making the next step.

As long as Anthony opens up on the offensive end and causes great damage, the Knicks can seize the opportunity, and then Wang Zhuo's tactics will become more comfortable, and at the same time, his teammates can also benefit a lot.

The Raptors attacked, Lowry just held the ball and advanced to the front court, Grant defended with a dogskin plaster, Lowry had no chance to shoot, passed to DeRozan on the left side, Afflaro cling, DeRozan took a step with the ball, a quick stop jump shot, the ball smashed the circle and missed, and Porzingis grabbed the rebound.

Switching offense and defense, Anthony received the ball again in the front court, changed direction to dribble in the same position, shook Carroll, leaned on the shot, the ball did not hit, but Carroll fouled, Anthony stood on the free throw line, and made two free throws steadily.

When players are defending, they tend to make corresponding adjustments according to the experience of the last defense, and the psychological factor is very important, Carroll is affected by the first defensive failure, psychological imbalance, and being too anxious, so he will fall into Anthony's time, and pay for the last foul in vain, if Anthony's first attack did not hit, Carroll will not be out of position and be pointed.

The pressure on the defensive end increases, which will also affect the offensive end, Lowry and DeRozan are very defended, and the burden is on Carroll again, Carroll misses three points, Anthony grabs a long rebound, Knicks play offensive and defensive conversion, Anthony and Porzingis play a pass and cut cooperation, and Porzingis hits a basket inside.

The Knicks were in a hurry and opened with a small climax of 6-0, and Casey stood on the sidelines and couldn't bear it anymore, signaling the referee to pause and rearrange the tactics.

After the timeout, the Raptors attacked, Lowry held the ball at the top of the circle, Valanciunas blocked and dismantled high, Lowry broke through and knocked back, Valanciunas received the ball, Lowry fell into the bottom left corner, successfully attracted Porzingis' defense, Patterson took the opportunity to run back 45 degrees on the right side, received Valanciunas's pass, made an empty three-point shot, and hit the basket.

Casey's on-the-spot adaptability has been criticized, Wang Zhuo didn't expect him to suddenly open up, the Raptors' outside offensive firepower was pinched off, Casey arranged an offensive cooperation between the inside, played Patterson's three-point advantage, reduced the pressure on Carroll's offensive end, and let him focus on defending Anthony.

The Raptors barely opened on the offensive end, but the defensive end could not contain the Knicks' attack wave, Anthony shook off Carroll, entered the interior, and forced a layup at the same time, causing Carroll to foul the chasing defense, Antoni hit a free throw, and the difference came to 6 points again, and Carroll was left with two fouls in 3 minutes.

The Raptors' wing lost its defensive strength, and the Knicks took the opportunity to open the gap, and the three-point shooting on the outside was like a pouring rain, and the huge point difference of 30-12 in a single quarter exploded, not only the Raptors players were completely stunned, but even Casey was beaten back to his original shape, and he didn't know how to deal with the Knicks' fierce attack.

The Knicks players' determination to fight back has never been so strong, not giving the Raptors any chance to fight back, leading by 16 points again in the second quarter, and the huge difference of 28 points at halftime not only shattered the hopes of Toronto fans, but also crushed the confidence of Raptors players, 116:92, the Knicks slaughtered the Raptors by 24 points at home, rebounded strongly, and moved the big score to 1:2.
