Chapter 376: The Sixth Man
However, under the Knicks' quick adjustment, the pressure on Carter's side began to gradually decrease, although Hill has been at a disadvantage in terms of energy and physical strength compared to Carter, but Hill relies on the team's defense but Carter can not easily get rid of it, once no one takes care of Carter, the Knicks will eventually let the Mavericks who are attacking with all their strength pay the price they deserve.

It's a pity that not only the Knicks know this, but Carlisle also knows better, and Terry on the court is a rare sign of high concentration.
As the sixth man of the Mavericks, Terry's best sixth man this year turned out to be the one who was not ranked first, and it is conceivable how much the changes made by the Mavericks this season have had a huge impact on him.
However, as it was once said, the Mavericks are only together for the championship, and once they lose or even succeed in the championship, it will lead to the departure of a group of Mavericks.
Carlisle knows, Nowitzki knows, Carter knows...... The most important two know that there will only be one left between the two in the end.
But now looking at the situation, the tacit understanding between the two is still good, but it is not the above two who make sacrifices, but the former Eagle King Terry, which is also a matter of no way, although Terry can also rank at the top of the league in terms of scoring ability, it is slightly worse than Carter and Nowitzki.
In terms of offensive subdivision, in terms of projection ability, Terry is not as good as a driver, and in terms of breakthrough ability, it is not comparable to Carter, but if Terry has no idea to prove himself in his heart, I'm afraid no one wants to believe it.
This game was Carlisle's chance for Terry...... Maybe it's the last chance of the season.
When Carter's attack caught the attention of the Knicks, when Nowitzki didn't take the initiative to ask for the ball as he did in the past, but waited for an opportunity to move in the space where he was most sure of it, and when Kidd controlled the ball, Terry already knew that the moment he wanted was coming.
For an opponent like the Mavericks, the Knicks can't say that they don't have to do their best, especially when their own offense is not particularly effective, and the focus on defense is more concentrated.
Thunder? Allen's defensive ability has been recognized by many players, media and even opponents after coming to the Knicks, and Terry naturally knows this, so he did not provoke Allen at the beginning, especially Terry knows that it is not only the Mavericks who expect themselves to open, but the Knicks also hope that Allen's hand will open earlier.
In terms of projection ability alone, Allen is much more famous in the league than Terry, and Carlisle even let Terry focus on defense at the beginning, rather than playing against Allen at the beginning.
Carter only uses breakthroughs to achieve what the team wants, and Carlisle's caution can be seen from this.
Fortunately, for the Mavericks, the good news tonight is that the projection ability of Gong Feng and Allen is not completely opened, and they can only be regarded as in average condition.
……
"Jason? Terry's change in point, don't you make any changes in response? Mill? ”
"Terry? Thibodeau, are you saying that Terry, who didn't rest at halftime, is the killer feature that the Mavericks want? ”
"I think his offensive efficiency tonight is not ordinarily high, he didn't rest at halftime, he was more like a fighter, no! It should be said that he is an assassin who is hidden behind the scenes, his three-point shooting rate is as high as 50% in this game, and he does not fire continuously in a period of time to attract attention, but more to create space for his teammates, this kind of performance is not an assassin? ”
"It seems that the Eagle King has grown a lot in the past! Now he has finally learned to play next to superstars, but unfortunately, it is his performance that is similar to the effect of our rookies? ”
"I don't think so, I think he's constantly looking for holes in our defense, of course my defensive system can't have obvious holes, but our players are not gods, they are people, and there are moments of slackness!"
"Slack? Maybe! But what can we do at this point? Showing our ability to preserve? Let's not talk about whether Terry will explode in this game, that is, we remind the players to pay attention to this situation, should we let Carter, Nowitzki, and Kidd score recklessly? ”
"Thibodeau, everything on the pitch is up to the players to decide! All we can do now is trust the players, the Mavericks are not underdogs, they have their strengths, we have to admit that! Just like in the last game, we were only between them and them! ”
"Don't say that the Mavericks are at a crossroads, in fact, why aren't we in a critical position with the Knicks? How many teams have fallen on the road to a three-peat? Our Knicks are very strong, but they are not as strong as they used to be, destroying everything, as long as we stay in place, we are actually giving other teams a chance to catch up with us...... And we've been standing still for two years! ”
Looking at Thibodeau's very surprised look, Mir smiled and said, "Don't worry! I don't believe we're going to lose, it's just that we need to give someone in our team a reason for not working the pitch for a long, long time......"
Two teams with similar strength, in fact, the final result is unpredictable, which is also the charm of large-scale competitive events, the Mavericks come here, of course, there is its extremely strong place, especially when the main force of the Mavericks opens up the situation by themselves and creates the most suitable moment for themselves, the Knicks are really difficult to defend, such a Mavericks team.
Such a result is of course terrible for the Knicks, this is the second game of the Finals, and it is also a key game for the Knicks on their home court, which is different from the home game that lost to the Heat, it is a game that does not have a big impact when the big picture is in control.
The loss of the second home game only means one thing, that is, the loss of their home advantage, which means the rotation of the initiative.
In particular, many fans are worried about what kind of psychological factors will change after the Knicks experience such a defeat, and in any case, the Knicks' victory journey over the years has been more won at home.
The Knicks are undoubtedly in big trouble. (To be continued.) )
