Chapter 070: Mortal Enemy Heat (4)
Even though Pat Riley couldn't do anything about it, he was able to hold his breath, unlike Van Gundy's where everything was on his face.
Best took over Malik Allen's serve, as a 30-year-old player, he can still only be a young player of the team, he still knows his position very well, facing Easley's defense, although he is not enough to exceed the age and skill and other aspects, but he will not be the master who does nothing, and he will start to break through in the front court. But I know this ending, the Knicks' defense is very strong, and there is always a figure by his side.
The Knicks' players have always been characters with no credit and hard work, even if they don't have any flashy statistics, but the other party doesn't want to get benefits in their own hands, that's their purpose. Best couldn't shoot with the ball, so he had to pass the ball to Eddie House, which is all the fault of the fish belly team, when he can't score, his breakthrough seems to be exhausted, so he kicks the ball to the main force, who you love to attack.
Eddie Jones' shot just now didn't do any good, and now it's also being defended by Houston. Knowing that now is not the time to be brutal, and he is not a brutal person, Eddie Jones immediately dropped the interior line, if the Heat now Alonzo Mourning is not injured, the current interior line can be said to be ironclad, how can it be possible for the Knicks to bully themselves so much. Now there is no way but to drop the inside line and see, after all, Grant is still very experienced.
Grant's pigtails kept flicking in the air, Thomas kept pushing behind Grant, and the constant sweeping of his braids made him extremely uncomfortable, but Thomas didn't let Grant please and kept harassing him. Grant has his back, this ball must be scored, otherwise it will only make the Knicks see a joke, after all, Grant has been with the Heat for so long, and he knows the grievances with the Knicks. A turn, a side step, Thomas against Grant's constant squeezing, when he kept pushing hard, he didn't react to a momentary turn, Grant's jump shot when he stepped sideways, did not save, and the ball rolled into the bag.
Waving his fist, Grant scolded in his heart, damn the Knicks are really killing themselves, and the grudge between the Knicks and the Heat has to be borne by himself. But there is no way, who calls himself now on the home court of the Knicks, or the home of the sworn enemy.
The score was 2-2, and Van Gundy began to pace back and forth on the sidelines. Although the history of the Black Eight has passed so long, Van Gundy can feel that nameless blood every time he plays against the Heat, which is the endless blood between mortal enemies. Although the current game is in hand, he still keeps asking his disciples and constantly telling the players on the field to win the score and never give up.
Houston took the ball in the frontcourt, facing Eddie Jones, he was a player who came over during the Black Eight period, or the wonderful blow against the Heat directed by himself, and now he can deeply experience the smell of gunpowder on both sides. After Houston broke through, he made a shot under a sharp stop, Eddie Jones knew Houston's unique skills, flying to block, but if it was so simple to be blocked, Houston would not be called the "king of mid-pitch", and the ball went into the frame.
The scores on both sides alternately rise, although the Knicks' defense is excellent, but the "God Operator" Pat Riley is also a famous iron-blooded coach, and he is also very strong in training his players, and he spares no effort in defense. Not to mention that Riley coached at the Knicks, the current Knicks have not taken off the previous category at all, and many players Riley has a very deep understanding. He is not so easy to give up, in the name of his iron blood.
Constantly rotating the lineup, although Riley does not have many cards in his hand, he will not be stingy when he can play, even if it is a bench within the bench, he will not abandon it.
With 4 minutes and 13 seconds left, the Knicks' main players have basically not been rotated, and the Heat have constantly started to rotate, because each knows where their strengths are.
The Heat called a timeout, the score was fixed at 20-15, and the Knicks were leading by five points, which was not easy for the Heat. The Heat has parried in this situation for so long, relying on the main force to continue to exert residual heat.
Commentator Albert looked at the score of the two sides on the sidelines and said, "Now the Knicks have a five-point lead, which is enough to show that the Knicks have a greater advantage than the Heat, if it continues, I believe that the Knicks are sure to win, as long as the Knicks' bench is not a big problem, this game is in such a state, and the Heat will not be able to turn the tables." ”
"I think the Knicks can finish the game in the first three quarters, and now the bench is about to come on, who knows if Riley will have any potential to explore!" Fraser said, because he knew that Pat Riley's calculations were very powerful in the league, but in the end, it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and the strength of the Heat was there.
Li Shengnan, who was on the sidelines, looked at the court and said to He Sheng: "Now that the Heat have begun to fall behind, this game doesn't seem to be seen through, it seems that Liang Xiao is going to play soon as he plays as a substitute, right?" ”
"It should be played, the main players are now starting to rest, I think in this situation, Liang Xiao, as a substitute, should be able to get more opportunities to play." He Sheng said.
On the Knicks bench on the sidelines, Van Gundy kept saying to his players that they should pay attention to defense in the next playing time and not easily let go of every attack by the Heat. Now the worry is whether the Knicks' bench will continue to give up the advantage under those players of the Heat, as long as the Heat is not given a chance now, the next is the Knicks' dominance.
At the end of the timeout, the Heat replaced Mike James and Eddie House to replace the guard line, and the other players were not rotated, because in the previous game, the Heat had rotated several times. The Knicks, on the other hand, replaced Houston and Sprewell to rest, and then relied on the "two-gun combination" to exert their power.
Liang Xiao and Anderson played, in the first two games, practice proved that Liang Xiao and Anderson can ensure that the Knicks' score does not decline and has an upward trend when they are on the court, which makes Van Gundy happy to send them, so that the Knicks' defense is still there, and the scoring ability can also be guaranteed.
"I didn't expect it, this guy is really easy to gain the trust of others, he hasn't been selected in the draft, and he can stabilize the bench after only a few preseason games, this guy really has some ability." He Sheng watched Liang Xiao walk on the stage, and couldn't help but say with some approval.
"I guess he's gone shit luck!" Li Shengnan said beside him, as if as long as Liang Xiao was good, she couldn't listen to it now.
He Sheng couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard Li Shengnan say that he had shit luck: "The NBA doesn't have so much shit luck to go, look, he should have his own merits, otherwise a picky coach like Van Gundy would not let him play so easily." ”
"Just look at what kind of tricks the guy plays, I really don't believe how good a non-draft player is!" Li Shengnan said on his lips, but in his heart he saw that as a player from his hometown, he could run on the NBA court, and he had to say that it was a good thing, but it was a breath of gas in his chest, and all the words changed their taste.
