Chapter 290: Eagle Strike Tactics
At 13 seconds and 8 minutes, a new legend, the "Ewing Moment", was born.
The jaw of the American Airlines Arena fell to the ground, and the god operator was not calm, and strongly requested a drug test for Ewing after the game.
If it were Michael Jordan, Reggie Miller would naturally not be suspected, and the current miracle worker is just an old "gorilla". In addition to the local media and fans in New York, there is a wave of skepticism all over the country.
Ewing accepted it calmly and put forward the condition that it must be the simultaneous drug testing of five authoritative institutions to prove his innocence.
A day later, the drug test results came back.
The local media and fans in New York cheered, and Mia was silent.
At the American Airlines Center, the second "Ewing Moment" was staged, and at 80.12 seconds, Miami was crying.
After returning to Madison Garden, the confident Knicks were full of momentum, very smooth on the offensive end, tenacious and tenacious on the defensive end, and every move was disciplined and controlled.
The Heat team was a little absent-minded, made mistakes after mistakes, and no matter how God scolded them, they just couldn't keep up their spirits.
Alonzo-Mourning roared again and again, taking the initiative to take the ball again and again, and attacking with his back to the single, but it was difficult to arouse the fighting spirit of his teammates. In this way, he inexplicably lost the battle of Tianwang Mountain.
The playoffs are like this, once you lose a crucial game, you can't hold your breath in your heart, your confidence is gone, your momentum is gone, and you don't have to say anything.
No one could have imagined that the Knicks would simply kick the Heat to the beach in Miami for a vacation.
The biggest hero of the Knicks is not Allan Houston, the team's leading assist Marbury, not the team's rebounding king Marcus Camby, but Patrick Ewing, who dominated everything in the final decisive moment.
Ewing was still the same gorilla who cherished words like gold and got along with him at the post-game press conference, but the New York media was already crazy about it.
The vigorous and lively battle of Tianwang Mountain ended in one day......
In the second round, the Eastern record is as follows.
New York Knicks PK Miami Heat, 4:1, win.
Indiana Pacers PK Philadelphia 76ers, 1:4, win.
In the second round, the Western record is as follows.
Los Angeles Lakers PK Phoenix Suns, 4:1, win.
Polish Trailblazers PK Jewish Jazz, 4:1, win.
The specific battle situation is as follows.
Iverson is back at home to the Wajovia Center, full of confidence and ready to sweep the Pacers. Philadelphia fans are also full of confidence.
Unexpectedly, after Reggie Miller returned to the Pacers, he repeated Miller's moment in the final moments, completed the stunner, and pulled a game back.
In the fourth game, Iverson turned into a three-point shooting machine, creating an Iverson moment and digging a 12-point gap. Reggie Miller was powerless to recover and lost the fourth game.
In the fifth game of the Tianwang Mountain battle, the Pacers, cheered by Indiana fans, began to frequently use rogue defense, frequently fouled, and sent 76ers players to the free throw line again and again.
Iverson also suffered two fouls in quick succession when shooting.
The gesture was not defensive at all, but aimed at eliminating Iverson, a move that made Larry Brown furious, and adjusted his tactics on the spot to revert Iverson to the point guard position.
After Usilis saw the Knicks' battle on King Mountain, he also rushed over to support Iverson.
"Eagle Strike Tactics!" Larry Brown yelled from the sidelines.
The players of the 76ers began to take turns holding the ball and forcing a breakthrough inside, which is to use frequent tough breakthroughs to create the opponent into a foul trap, so as to beat the opponent's arrogance.
Currently, NBA rules restrict and do not allow joint defense. In other words, no matter what kind of defensive formation you use, leave at least one gap for the attacker, and this rule is extremely beneficial for the breaker.
Eagle strike tactics are born in response to this rule, and they must be verified and understood before they can be used in official matches.
Fair whistle, loose whistle, home whistle, star whistle, balance whistle, black whistle, the knowledge is too big, in the decisive moment, can definitely affect the victory of a game.
This game, located on the home court of the Pacers, the Pacers naturally enjoyed some of the treatment of the home whistle, and they were steady and ruthless, and a little unscrupulous.
In addition, Reggie Miller is recognized as an NBA public enemy with an extremely bad attitude, and I don't know why, he is always mistreated by the referee in important playoff matchups.
At this time, let Iverson's breakthrough verify everything!
As it turned out, Larry Brown was right!
Maybe it was the half-asleep referee who suddenly woke up, and saw the Pacers and a group of big men joining forces to bully a small man, and he couldn't stand it anymore, and finally blew the fair whistle with an iron face.
What is a fair whistle, there is no tendency to maliciously foul, otherwise it will be punished immediately!
In the next game, it was a time-out and intermittent penalty shootout, and the players of the two teams seemed to be playing a "wooden man game".
The game stumbled like this, and the scores of the two teams were entangled, and from the beginning to the end, the ups and downs did not exceed 5 points.
Comparatively speaking, the 76ers got twice as many free throws as the Pacers would do. The reason why the score gap has not been widened is because the Pacers have a Reggie Miller who shoots nearly 100 percent of his free throws.
Usyris backed up Iverson again, 100 diamonds, 100 seconds of peak burst.
Reggie Miller was already against the odds, and he and Iverson were inseparable in the last minute.
In the last 4.2 seconds, Iverson suddenly stole the basketball in the hands of Reggie Miller and completed the stunner, drawing a successful end to the battle of Tianwang Mountain.
The third round of the playoffs has begun.
Western Conference Finals: Los Angeles Lakers vs. Polish Trail Blazers.
Eastern Conference Finals: New York Knicks vs. Philadelphia 76ers.
Pre-war reviews.
Shaq O'Neal listened to the general's belly, domineering leakage, as the NBA's No. 1 center, rushed into the Western Conference Finals like a fierce god, but met the Trailblazers with a luxurious lineup, and it was bound to be a fierce battle for the seventh.
Who can laugh at the end, it's really hard to say.
Before that, no one thought the 76ers would be able to fly out of Reggie Miller's big mouth, but Iverson did. No one still thinks the 76ers will make it to the Finals alive from Ewing and Marcus.
It is generally believed that the Knicks will eliminate the 76ers 4-2 and enter the Finals.
Patrick Ewing, who has spent his life on the Knicks, desperately needs a trophy to tell the New York fans that I did it!
This time, can Allen-Iverson, who has always been alone, still have a miracle?! (To be continued.) )
