Granger didn't expect Lehi to react so quickly that he would be able to interfere with his jumper. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Under Lehi's influence, Granger undoubtedly struck iron.

After protecting the rebound, the Knicks began to play the transition again, although the Pacers have an interior gate like O'Neal Jr., but their defense can only be said to be average, and it is an opportunity for the Knicks when converting.

Francis dribbled the ball and handed it to Lehi, who swiped it in, attracted all the attention of the opponent's defense and threw the ball back, and Marbury followed up and stuffed the ball directly into the basket.

There are several people in the Knicks' backcourt, Marbury and Francis have no advantage in height, but their physical fitness is very good, and they usually practice in the power room for nothing.

It's just that Eddie Curry was abused by O'Neal Jr. again, but fortunately, O'Neal Jr. only hit one of two free throws.

The Knicks have tightened up to be hit so many three-pointers by the opposing team, but O'Neal Jr. can still get a chance, and it can be seen from here that there is still a difference between Eddie Curry and the league's first-class interior lineman.

"It's okay, keep playing at our pace, hit this ball, and we'll win them by one point this round."

After grabbing the rebound, Lehi drove the ball directly and shouted encouragement to his teammates, and it looked like he was going to be patient and organize an attack, but the defenders would suffer if they really thought that Lehi would do so.

Lehi was talking, one step away from the three-point line, and his eyes seemed to be looking at his teammates, so he pulled up and shot without warning.

After hitting the three-point shot, Stephen Jackson couldn't help but curse a swear word, and he thought Lehi would break through.

At 3:31, Lehi sent another assist, David Lee hit a 2-pointer, and the score became 106-106, and the Knicks finally pulled back the trailing score.

The game entered a timeout, and the Knicks knew very well that the most threatening Pacers now were O'Neal Jr., who would not let O'Neal Jr. easily get the ball, and the more they reached the final moment, the more they could not let the opponent's most confident player shoot.

Pinch and let the opportunity come out to the player they least sure of.

Of course, it would be best to be able to kill all five of them, but the reality is that it can't be like that, and there is no team in the league that can do that, so tactics are needed.

The Pacers' other four points are also offensive power, and now they keep O'Neal Jr. on the inside, plus Granger, who is the strongest attack off the bench, and the Knicks also replaced the No. 4 position with Lehi to target Harrington.

In terms of height, the Knicks are at a loss, except for the No. 1 and No. 5 positions, and Eddie Curry at the No. 5 position can't get O'Neal Jr. alone, which is a test for their defense.

They will definitely be close to the top defense on the outside, although they suffer in height, but they have no disadvantage in physical fitness, if they are broken into by the other party, they will rely on Li Hai's ability to assist in defense, he plays the No. 4 position is to be a father and a mother, and it is also the time when he is the most valuable.

Players who can attack and defend are basically booked with the maximum salary.

The Pacers still wanted O'Neal Jr. to catch the ball, but when they saw that the Knicks were decisive, O'Neal Jr. returned the ball to Jamal Tinsley, Tinsley handed the ball to Stephen Jackson, who made a three-point shot, but was interfered with and missed the shot.

Then Lehi singled Harrington, and the turnaround jumper was also a little worse.

At this time, Granger was not marked by Lehi and hit 2 points again.

But the Knicks immediately returned the favor, and Marbury assisted Crawford on a three-pointer to put the score up 109-108.

In the final moments, both sides defended tightly, and both rounds were scoreless.

The more this happens, the better the Knicks will be on defense, they still hold a one-point lead, and in the end, they can still win without allowing the opponent to score points.

However, if you rely on defense alone, you can't do it in many cases.

At 4.9 seconds, O'Neal Jr. received the ball at the top of the arc and hit it directly, and the Pacers overtook the score at the last moment.

There is not much time left, and the Knicks are also under a lot of pressure.

Winning this game can tie the record in team history, and if you lose, it doesn't take much time to encounter such an opportunity, and the team has successfully fought with Celtics before, and the chances of encountering such a situation again are much smaller.

The lore ball depends on some luck a lot of the time.

It's also a question of who to throw, and just now Lehi also missed two consecutive shots, and Marbury did the same.

Coach Larry Brown still believed in Lehi's favorite player at this time, and gave Lehi's first choice to receive the ball, while Marbury went to serve.

After Lehi receives the ball, it depends on his judgment whether he throws or chooses to pass.

Now there are five people on the Knicks court, each of them has the ability to shoot, not the five people who can shoot like other teams, and all five of them have had the experience of killing, I'm afraid it is difficult to encounter such a thing in other teams.

When serving, Lehi first rushed to the inside, and the defenders of the Pacers definitely did not dare to slack off, just a one-point gap, and then Lehi immediately ran back, which was a tactic for the Knicks to catch the ball, and when Lehi was running back, a teammate covered him.

After Lehi received the ball, another teammate immediately came up to cover him, and at the same time, Marbury, who finished the ball, quickly rushed to the basket, but Crawford ran to the weak side.

In the past two years, the Knicks have been under the tutelage of Larry Brown, and the quality of the cover is not to be said, and Lehi stepped over the defense in one step under the cover of his teammates, and pulled up on the three-point line.

is extremely confident, even if the previous two shots were lost, there is no confusion in Lehi's eyes.

The tactics have been played, the opportunities have come out, and the usual training is hard enough, there is nothing Lehi dare not throw, and he is willing to take the responsibility of winning and losing.

"Sure enough, it was Lehi who executed the last shot, although there are many players who can execute tactics in the Knicks, but the Finals MVP speechless is the first choice, and the Knicks' shot at critical moments has been Lehi for half of the season."

"Entered, 111:110! After the Knicks won the championship for 18 consecutive wins, the Knicks team has successfully sublimated, and their momentum is unmatched for a while. ”

It is a happy thing to tie the team history record, but the team fell behind first, and finally continued to chase points and rely on the individual ability of the players to kill, this method of winning was questioned by the outside world.

However, this kind of talk was quickly drowned out by other reports, and by this time, the outside world was more concerned about how long the Knicks could win in a row, and if they won one more game, they could tie the third winning streak in Lakers league history, and this kind of gimmick was eye-catching.
