Chapter 191: It's hard to stand alone

Fifteen minutes after the break, Van Gundy was very satisfied with the performance of the second quarter in the locker room, for the Mavericks, the Knicks are now at the end of the road, although they played such momentum in the second quarter, and the score was also approaching step by step, but in the second half of the game, the whole locker room was in a good atmosphere, but for everyone, the phenomenon was good, only Van Gundy was sad, because only he knew how cruel the test was in the second half,

The second half is a big test for the Knicks' physical fitness, when Liang Xiao is performing well, the other Knicks players are not good, as far as the Mavericks at home are concerned, the depth of the bench is something that the Knicks can't compete with, but all this for Van Gundy can't give up easily, because no one can necessarily know the final result when he is on the court, because even the best team on the court may not be able to do his best in 82 games,

Van Gundy still cheered for all the Knicks players in the locker room, because from now on, the score is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that the Knicks players should play their own level.

The halftime break is coming to an end, all the players have returned to the sidelines to sit on the sidelines and prepare for the second half, Liang Xiao is also very relieved to make some final preparations, no one can know the final victory or defeat, in the previous life, this game, the Knicks lost to the Mavericks with a score of 82-107 in the away game, I don't know whether this game is won or lost in the end, but at least don't lose so embarrassed in terms of winning or losing,

"Judging from the current score, although the Knicks don't win or lose very much on the court, but what is the final result of this game, I think I still prefer that the Mavericks will win in this game, because there is still a big gap in the strength of the lineup between the two sides." After the players from both sides came on the field, the on-site commentator said,

"I think even if the Knicks lose in the end, it won't be a bad loss, because in the second quarter of the game, I saw Liang playing on the court, and I knew that even if the Mavericks won this game, it would not be so easy to win."

"Even if the Knicks have the final blows in the second half, I don't think it will be possible for the Mavericks to do any damage, and the final victory or defeat is still irrelevant, but the current situation is definitely not very favorable to the Knicks, and I am still optimistic about the Mavericks' victory in this game." The on-site commentary is not optimistic about the situation of the Knicks,

After playing in the second half, Liang Xiao played as a point guard and still maintained a good condition, in terms of the Knicks, the performance of others was not very good, because of the continuous decline in physical fitness, but for the high-spirited Liang Xiao, he would not let go so easily.

Liang Xiao after playing the game, facing the Mavericks' super luxury lineup, Liang Xiao is not worried at all, although the final game may not end well, but this is not what Liang Xiao is worried about, winning or losing in 82 games must have a lot to do with it, but a win or defeat is not very relevant to the end, because every team cannot guarantee that the final game can be won,

Liang Xiao came on the court to face Nash's defense, a quick breakthrough, for the now famous Nash, Liang Xiao can not be compared with the other party in terms of fame, but in terms of technology Liang Xiao will not be afraid at all, Liang Xiao who lets go of his hands and feet will play a great power in the face of the best player, Nash is very difficult to defend next to Liang Xiao, in the first half of the game, he did not rest at all, Liang Xiao began to get up before Nash broke through to the three-second zone, Because the three-second zone is not the world of the Knicks, the Mavericks' bench strength on the interior is very strong, and under the rotation of the mad scientist Nelson Sr., the state is maintained very well.

Liang Xiao stopped sharply outside the three-second zone, flew back, but Nash flew over on the side, if this ball was blocked by Nash, it would definitely make Liang Xiao miserable, but Liang Xiao was waiting for Nash, the action was not very fast, he just wanted to make a three-point situation, but Nash is not a character who can be underestimated, when Liang Xiao made a move and was about to fly to block, but when he saw Liang Xiao's dodge in mid-air, he immediately saw the intention, and deliberately avoided it in mid-air. Liang Xiao hit the ball steadily,

Liang Xiao smiled after the shot, Nash smiled beside Liang Xiao, both of them had some tacit secrets,

In the next game, Liang Xiao faced Nash's defense, but he didn't get a good chance, Nash obviously strengthened Liang Xiao's defense, because Liang Xiao knew that outside the three-second zone, Liang Xiao's scoring was very efficient, after knowing this, Nash knew that Liang Xiao could not go inside, because at this point Liang Xiao was afraid of the Maverick's inside line,

On the side of the Mavericks, Nash threaded the needle, coupled with the strength of the lineup, the Knicks could not compete at all, on the guard line, the Mavericks have always used a two-guard lineup in the second half, strong assists, plus Fan Maniac's scoring ability is good, Nash's assists and scoring are also unparalleled, and the Knicks' backcourt can only have a slight upper hand, but the ability to be on the front line is much weaker, which is beyond doubt, Nuo Tianwang can support the Mavericks' interior line alone, and he can't say which is better or worse in the center position, but in the small front, the madman and the opponent's Finley are-for-tat against Mai Mang,

In the second quarter of more than five minutes, the Knicks fell behind by nine points again, and the Mavericks on the inside were determined to carry out the offensive horn to the end, and the Knicks had no way, although Thomas and Harrington worked hard to give the Mavericks a color to see, but it was impossible to make up for the gap in strength.

Liang Xiao took a three-minute break in the third quarter of the game, and the rotation on the Mavericks' side was also very methodical, Fan Maniac supported the point guard on the court, and there was an NBA man on the inside plus this season's rookie Nahoola on the court, the strength of the bench was not weak at all, but the Knicks played too long on the inside, which led to the final inadequacy, Van Gundy had to replace it with a substitute, and the gap on the bench opened up at once, The Knicks' lineup was not grasped all of a sudden, which led to the score constantly stretching,

On the Knicks' side, the rotation only left Harrington and Thomas to support the interior, and the other strong players went to rest, but the firepower of the opposing Finley and Van Maniacs on the court was not reduced at all, and when there were 2 minutes and 17 seconds left in the third quarter, the Mavericks led the score by 11 points.

Van Gundy watched the score continue to widen off the court, and kept roaring on the sidelines, but the cheers of the fans on the scene could overshadow his voice, and the morale of the Knicks gradually had a rapid downward trend, Van Gundy only scratched his head vigorously, turned around and waved to the Knicks who were resting on the sidelines, and waved to Liang Xiao, and suddenly changed to three points when the ball was dead, and then replaced the Knicks' interior line after another offense, and in the last two minutes, the Mavericks gradually changed to the main force,

Liang Xiao faced Nash, and gradually adapted to Nash's changed defense, not to limit himself to the outside, well, just like that, I will use my ability to score on the outside, Liang Xiao in the last two minutes of the third quarter, the first three-point shot, Nash's blocked hand was going to directly hit Liang Xiao's nose, but in the end he still didn't hit the ball, Liang Xiao's shot was very fast, and the projection on the outside significantly strengthened the speed of the shot,

After hitting one on the inside of the Mavericks, Liang Xiao immediately made another shot, and directly chose a backward shot at the free throw line on Nash's body, and the degree of backward shooting reached 30 degrees, plus the degree of knee bending, Nash had no way to cause trouble for Liang Xiao in the front.

Nash does not show weakness here, or has always maintained a good attitude, although Liang Xiao got a lot of points in front of him in this game, but still maintained a good state of assists, so far, Nash has sent 14 assists, Liang Xiao has not even reached Nash's average in assists, Nash firmly believes that his teammates will convert his assists into scores, and the rest of the Mavericks really did not disappoint him,

At the end of the third quarter, Liang Xiao scored 29 points, and Liang Xiao's shots reached a new high in this game, but even in such a state now, the Knicks still did not pose much threat to the Mavericks in terms of score, because at the end of the third quarter, the Knicks were still a nine-point gap behind the players.

In the fourth quarter, Liang Xiao was still in good shape, in the first five minutes, Liang Xiao scored six points in a row, and his score suddenly reached 35 points, but what can be done about this, because this is the entire score of the Knicks in the fourth quarter, Houston and Sprewell's two shots are out of the frame, not to mention the inside, there is no chance to shoot, on the contrary, look at the Mavericks' score, there are 15 points in five minutes, such a success rate is not comparable to the Knicks,

In the last few minutes, Liang Xiao scored six points, Liang Xiao suddenly refreshed his career high, but so what, it's still the same not worth being happy about, under the situation of being alone, the Knicks still lost, although the Knicks did not lose by as big a score as in their previous life, the Knicks had three people score double-doubles, but the Knicks did not score 20 points on both guns, on the contrary, the Mavericks had six people score double-doubles, and Nash's assists were as high as 17 points,

The Knicks left the American Airlines Center with a loss, this is the second game of the Knicks' trip to Texas, although everyone is not very happy to lose, but the game still has to continue, and the next game will arrive in the holy city of Antonio against the Spurs,
