Chapter 073: Mortal Enemy Heat (7)

Mu Qingyu watched Liang Xiao's performance on the sidelines, and he really couldn't imagine it, thinking that no one wanted to believe that his dream was to play in the NBA, but now he is staging his dream dance steps in the big city of New York. It's like a dream, it's wonderful and incredible.

The 130-second pause in the first quarter passed quickly, watching Liang Xiao continue to stay on the court, for this hero, the Knicks fans did not skimp on their applause, and the continuous shouts and exclamations resounded throughout the arena. Hathaway and Mu Qingyu also kept shouting on the sidelines, without the quiet and weak in the past, and now they want to be little girls in estrus one by one.

The Knicks now see that their score still has an 8-point advantage, so that the main team can rest for a while, 38-30, as long as Liang Xiao and they can keep it, this time the Knicks replaced Houston and center Nairon, replaced Thomas and Harrington, and Charlie Ward also topped Easley, so that a main force of four benches was formed. The Heat are now almost rested by Eddie Jones, their main force is constantly on the court, Grant is resting, after all, he is not a young man, and Allen, Butler, Eddie House, Eddie Jones and Best are left on the court.

After Liang Xiao's talent skills were turned on in the first quarter, his physical fitness felt a significant decline, and now he was a little unable to run. Seeing that he is still against the Heat, Eddie House can only defend the opponent now, not allowing him to score, he is running open positions, and he has no speed and strength in physical work.

But fortunately, with the god Houston on the court, there is no need to worry about yourself, after all, he is not the boss of the team. Liang Xiao consciously did his job, and Houston accepted the ball as Ward advanced to the frontcourt.

Houston is a shooter who rarely does things like a breakaway layup, but that doesn't mean he can't, it's just that he can score in the best way he can score, and it's more energy-saving. Houston didn't break through for Eddie Jones, but he made the first shot of the second quarter after adjusting a few steps, but unfortunately, the ball didn't fall into the pocket. was confiscated by the opponent's Allen, and the current Knicks are a tall man like Nairon, who has no strength, and rebounds are easy to fall.

The best thing for the Knicks is to play and run, there is no personnel burden and no physical worries, and their main team has far more rest time than the Heat.

Eddie Jones didn't play Houston alone, he gave the ball to Butler, and when he was off the court, he saw that Butler had a good advantage against Anderson, and his body, strength and technique were not bad, and he could eat Anderson. Butler has also disappointed the team's boss, in the team, the former bad boy still admires Jones very much, one is a lot older, and the other is that he is now a rookie and has a lot to learn. After the break, the Knicks' interior line couldn't defend at all. 38-32.

Liang Xiao didn't make much achievements after that, and he didn't score points after giving Houston two assists, and he seemed to be lacking in energy. In 2 minutes, relying on Houston on the court, the Knicks' score remained above 5 points.

Van Gundy saw that Liang Xiao did not have the overwhelming advantage of the first game, and immediately replaced him. Thinking about this kid is still for a while, this is really a bad sign, what if there is no current performance of more than ten points per game in the future games, the obvious lack of physical fitness, this is also a common problem of Asian players, it seems that this kid still has to be strict. This is a good seedling, and it will be an important chess piece when cultivated.

"Hehe, now this guy can't do it, it's just a while, more than two minutes in the second quarter, and he didn't get a point." Li Shengnan watched Liang Xiao being replaced, and said with a smile.

He Sheng didn't know what to say, he couldn't say that it was normal for Liang Xiao to change now, Chinese's physical fitness has always been a weak point on the NBA court, but when these words came out, this vengeful woman would have a lot of reasons, so she had to shake her head and laugh, and continued to shift her eyes to the court.

In the next game, the Knicks began to send the main force, and now it is time to increase the score, and there is plenty of rest, and now the Heat definitely don't have much power to parry.

It turns out that the Heat really has no follow-up power, and now the Knicks gave the Heat a dismount as soon as they came on the court, and came to a 12-5 small **, which made the Heat team fall behind by as many as 15 points all of a sudden, and the score became 59-44, which made the head coach of the Heat team "God Operator" Pat Riley unable to sit still, and stood up directly and whistled on the court, and then this trick didn't work and had to be suspended. After the pause, the situation was finally under control, and I have to say that under the current situation, Pat Riley still has the ability to do such a sister-in-law, so that the Heat did not collapse directly, which is not easy.

After Pat Riley's continuous adjustments and personnel rotation, the score that the Heat began to pull away was shortened to only 10 points, but this was obtained by relying on the physical strength of the main team of the Heat team, breaking, running, blocking and dismantling, these are all physically exhausting tasks.

Fortunately, at the end of the second quarter of the game, the score became 65-54, and the Knicks didn't lead much, which didn't make the Heat ugly, otherwise the entire second half would become garbage time, then this game would become a laughing stock for the Heat, and in the future Knicks and Heat grievances will add an indescribable bad account, which will only become material for each other's spit.

In the locker room, the Knicks seemed to have this victory in their hands, and all their teammates were relaxed, and in the second half, it was estimated that the main team only needed to play for 5 minutes. However, Van Gundy still told everyone with a straight face about the matters to pay attention to in the second half, but he didn't want to make a foreign appearance in front of his teacher, and it would be strange to be wronged by the Heat.

All the team members were not happy when they saw Van Gundy's serious face, they all knew that Van Gundy was the kind of ruthless character who angered him, even if you were a hot superstar, you would be beaten into the cold palace, and they all calmed down and listened to Van Gundy's story.

Van Gundy praised Liang Xiao's performance in the first quarter, saying that he was the most consistent player on the Knicks' bench right now, which made Liang Xiao a little flattered, because Van Gundy rarely praised his disciples in front of the public, and was more strict and spurred them to improve. So much so that in later generations, all the fans thought that Van Gundy was an old-fashioned and inflexible guy, and it was only later that he became an ESPN commentator to let everyone discover another side of him.

Liang Xiao's performance was recognized by the coach and everyone, although he seemed to be domineering and leaky on the field, but he still did not disappoint his teammates.

Unconsciously, Liang Xiao's status in the Knicks has been continuously improved.

At halftime, Van Gundy was also untimely about some of the defenses that appeared in the first half, and the good situation was approached by the Heat, and many times some did not implement the tactics according to the coach's intentions. Emphasizing changing these things after the start of the second half, the Heat are still the team that has been at the bottom of the league, and it will be better if they meet a strong team in the back.

But fortunately, the current Knicks did not have the Rockets like Van Gundy in the later generations, who collapsed in the fourth quarter, couldn't grasp the opportunity, and were repeatedly overturned by others. However, such Knicks are all old players, not inferior in experience at all, and it is rare to have a later Rockets situation.

At the beginning of the second half, the Knicks entered the third quarter with an 11-point advantage, and if the Heat overtook the Knicks, it would be the Knicks. But the Knicks' "two-gun combo" will never make such an idea a reality. On the court, Houston and Sprewell began to exert their power, Houston's projection ability is strong, Easley continues to give him assists, so that Houston's score continues to rise. Sprewell also did not give in, constantly using his swing to break through, the former Golden State cancer is now the baby of the Big Apple, constantly putting pressure on the Heat, and Harrington and Thomas's interior line caused trouble to the Heat, which also increased the Knicks' advantage. The current Heat can only pay for their personnel shortage and lack of player experience.

"God Operator" Pat Riley had no choice but to watch his disciples run back and forth on the court, watching the Knicks widen the score, not pointing twice, and improving slightly. But no matter how good he is, he can't replace the players on the field, so he can only let the players find their own ways to solve the problems they face. The gap in strength cannot be bridged by other skills.

By the time the third quarter played more than 7 minutes, the score on both sides had become 83-67, a full 16 points, at this time Van Gundy did not replace the main force, because seeing that the Heat team did not move, in general, Pat Riley did not have a temper like Van Gundy, and liked to constantly shout on the sidelines. Generally, the losing side will first withdraw their main force, and the winning side will rotate their main force, indicating that the next thing is garbage time. Looking at the current situation, the Heat don't want to become garbage time at the end of the third quarter, and they have to be garbage in the fourth quarter.

Van Gundy thought about it, and thought that I wouldn't change it, how good it was.

As the alternation continued, the third quarter was finally over, the score became 91-72, and the Heat fell by 19 points into the fourth quarter. In this section of the game, Van Gundy did not replace Liang Xiao, and began to see that Liang Xiao's physical fitness was not good, and he had to continue to cultivate on it to have better gains, so he had to give up.
