Chapter 085: Killed

In just one quarter of the game, it seems that the character of the previous two protagonists has been completely consumed, and at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Melon who tried to continue the war was very sad to find that his hand seemed to have been thrown to the Atlantic.

Someone was tempted to take advantage of the danger and slash the score, but it didn't turn out to be any better than Anthony's, and the shot from outside the three-point line went straight into the hands of Nene, and Pepsi Center burst into laughter.

Li Chen shrugged his shoulders very embarrassedly, thinking that after being reborn, he would say goodbye to the tragic three non-touches forever with his 99 shooting ability, but he didn't expect such an ugly thing to happen today.

The tacit understanding between the two protagonists is amazing, but if you think about it, they should also strike iron, otherwise if the state of the third quarter is continued, then the first half-time double fifty in NBA history is likely to be born. Of course, even if the current form is not good, it is almost a foregone conclusion that the two will run to 50 with the same score, and this alone is enough for people to discuss for a week.

Worried that it was a physical problem, D'Antoni replaced Li Chen, who played the third quarter, although it was a crucial fourth quarter, but the mustache did not believe that the loss of the big apple in a few minutes could bring much damage to the Knicks.

Back on the court, the Nuggets, realizing that Anthony wasn't in the right shape, quickly took over the offense, and Billups assisted Martin for a mid-range jumper.

On the New York side, unlike the Nuggets, after the sharp attack of the Big Apple, they were instantly gone, and the rookie who had lost his sustenance looked unprecedentedly confused, and the three-point shot from the outside smashed out of the basket.

The Nuggets scored again. J.R. Smith scored a pull-up jump shot near the free-throw line with superb individual qualities and a convulsive feel, and Denver scored two more points.

Alas! Someone on the bench held his forehead with a helpless expression. The situation was far worse than he expected, and he thought that after replacing Battier, he would be able to defend his opponent even if he couldn't attack fluently, but it turned out. Whether it is offense or defense, the Knicks on the court are far from being in place.

"You're ready to play?" The mustache looked at Li Chen with concern, the big apple was his only weapon, he didn't want to risk Li Chen's health because of a victory in a game, although the situation on the field was very bad, he still hoped that Li Chen could rest for a while.

Li Chen shook his head, "Still not!" The team can't go on like this all the time! "With the halfway point of the race. Li Chen has become more and more aware of the importance of one or two powerful helpers, after all, a person's strength is limited after all. The Knicks aren't without people right now, they just haven't had a solid chemistry yet.

"Even Jordan needs a Pippen. Not to mention me, I know they have that potential! Li Chen made it very clear, although he was almost blown into the sky outside, he actually didn't like the feeling of carrying everything alone. To some extent. It was the Knicks who dragged down the Big Apple.

"I understand!" D'Antoni said seriously, "Things will always get better, and like you, I believe that those young people, take a step back and say, even if it still doesn't work, we can find some alternatives." Now that Dolan has chosen to put all his chips on you, he won't be stingy to make some changes! ”

D'Antoni's subtext couldn't be clearer. You hold on for a few more days and see how it goes. If it really doesn't work, then the Knicks will immediately make a change, whether it is a free agent or a trade market, New York, which is full of American knives, does not mind spending a little more money to please the main players!

In the end, the mustache didn't forget to praise his disciple, "Anyway, Cruz, I want to say that in my eyes, you are even better than Jordan, at least as far as I know, Jordan hasn't done anything like a rookie winning the MVP of the Finals!" ”

When Li Chen returned to the court, the Knicks were already 7 points behind, and the big apple had to take responsibility for chasing points, whether he wanted to or not, this kind of thing could only be done by him.

Between the hands of the knife and the knife, the big apple hit a three-pointer, and Li Chen, who had just come on the court, threw out his most lethal weapon as always, and the great cause of chasing points began.

Standing still with the ball, Big Apple with his back to the basket, his feet swayed lightly, and then he suddenly turned around and hit a step-back jumper.

It seems that Li Chen has turned on the scoring mode again, but the next facts have proved that the previous two goals were just an accident. After the Nuggets made a passing error, they gave the Knicks an excellent opportunity to break quickly, Li Chen quickly went down to the opponent's half with the ball, and jumped up when he stepped on the free throw line, all the movements were so smooth, except for the final layup.

The basket that was close at hand suddenly seemed to be separated by thousands of miles, and Big Apple's layup actually hit the front of the basket, and the rebound that bounced high was easily pocketed by Afflaro, who was close behind Li Chen.

The Nuggets made another mistake on offense, but the Knicks were not much better, under the opponent's tight defense, New York ran out of 24 seconds and failed to find a good offensive opportunity, and Curry's reluctant shot undoubtedly gave the Nuggets a rebound.

The situation has not improved, I don't know if it is infected or competing with each other, in short, the two teams seem to have lost their former accuracy at the same time, shooting either the power is wrong or the direction is wrong, in addition to constantly pulling down everyone's shooting rate, this situation simply allows the interior players of the two teams to enjoy the thrill of crazy rebounding.

Unlike the fiery offense in the third quarter, the Knicks and Nuggets were in the most tangled situation, for a full three minutes, the two teams tacitly didn't score a point, and the jingling sound made the Pepsi Center seem to be a blacksmith shop, and bored fans even played with the usual crowd waves on the football field in order not to let themselves fall asleep.

I have to say that for the fans, this kind of game is not what they want to see, if they had known that this was the result, then they would have left directly after the end of the third quarter, but because of the excitement of the third quarter, everyone decided to give the two teams another chance.

Surprisingly, the coaches of both teams were very calm, and although the team's attack was very problematic, since the opposing side couldn't shoot, there was no need to make any changes. Rather than wasting a timeout, it is better to save this little time until the last critical moment, and that game with the Lakers made the mustache remember. At any given time, it's always good to have enough timeouts in your hands.

Of course, not calling a timeout does not mean that you can't command the team, D'Antoni stood on the sidelines and kept shouting into the court, but looking at the rookie Curry's tangled face, he may not understand the coach's meaning at all, and Li Chen is the same. The repeated iron even gave him the idea of competing with the basket, even if it was always him who lost.

With two minutes to go, the situation didn't get any better. Although both teams have scored again, this percentage is still a bit substandard compared to the past, especially for the Knicks, who are in a backward position. The Nuggets can accept such a performance. But they couldn't, and the five-point gap left them desperately in need of a round.

At this time in the past, it was generally the Big Apple that stood up, but considering the actual situation today, it was almost impossible to count on Li Chen, and he shot a total of 6 balls in the entire fourth quarter, and only hit 2, and these two were still thrown at the beginning. And since then, the scoring maniac has been tragically not scoring a point.

Of course. Anthony on the opposite side was even worse, the little melon shot 0 of 5, and the dismal shooting rate blinded the whole court, so that the Nuggets brain Billups was not very willing to pass the ball to Anthony, because giving him the ball was no different from giving the ball to the Knicks, and the only thing the Nuggets got was that illusory rebounding opportunity.

Anthony didn't have this self-awareness, and after getting stuck in a position that he thought was good with his big ass, Melon reached for the ball again. Billups, who was really embarrassed, had to pass the ball over, even if he could have predicted the result, but this is still a melon team after all, no matter how much it can't dominate.

Bang! The crisp sound of the iron made Billups swear never to give Anthony the next shot again, and it seemed even more excessive than the previous shots, and the basketball bounced off the board and fell into Chandler's palm, so precise that the Nuggets' interior was completely empty.

Entering the offensive round in New York, the Big Apple was much more conscious than Melon, and the result of missing four shots made him realize his current state, and barely shooting was just a waste of opportunity, rather than sending the ball to the teammate who gave the opportunity, such as Hughes at this time.

The steal king went diagonally into the Nuggets' restricted area from the baseline, and the big apple broke through and assisted Hughes for a layup.

"I'm sure that Anthony guy is coming!" The big apple that brushed the assist was a lot more comfortable, and he even had the leisure to make fun of Anthony.

Hughes was also in a good mood after the goal, "I hope so, there is no better option than this, otherwise, I have no idea how we can win the game!" ”

Things did develop according to the conversation between the two, Melon asked for the ball again, considering the previous situation, Billups decisively pretended not to see it, he threw the trouble in his hand to Afflalo, although the opportunity was not very good, but compared to Anthony, such a choice is not known how many times better.

However, the Finals MVP can pretend not to see it, but Afflaro doesn't dare, and Anthony's gesture makes him a little panicked. In the end, the thirst for victory in the bottom of his heart is still no match for Anthony's authority within the team, and Afflaro is still a little lucky, Anthony has not scored 6 shots, so it can't be any worse!

But the result was that the melon once again refreshed the bottom limit of the fans, and the three-non-stick shot directly shined the whole court, and the embarrassed look on Anthony's face made the photographer on the sidelines couldn't help but press the door in his hand.

"I'll just say it!" Li Chen excitedly slapped Hughes, Anthony's performance was very satisfactory to him, it would be good if it took longer, the Knicks would definitely be able to win the game steadily, but the reality was that there were still 27 seconds left before the end, and the Knicks had to score a three-pointer.

Battier, three points in the corner, equalize! A comedic scene ensued, and the Denver fans, who had struggled with the whole game, showed their humor in the final moments.

"One more!" Such a slogan is undoubtedly said to Anthony, since it has been 7 shots, then simply have another one, it just so happens that the melon's jersey number is seven, and the eighth ball also has a deep meaning beyond itself. As for overtime, the fans can't care so much, anyway, a third quarter has already made everyone's tickets pay off.

Under the graciousness, the little melon took the ball, even if he was out of shape, but the Nuggets' chance to kill undoubtedly belonged to him, after all, this is the glory of a leader, not to mention, when it comes to past experience, the big heart of the melon is no worse than anyone in the league, and the team that fell under his lore is more than geometric, and from today on, a team has been added to this list again - the Knicks under the leadership of the Big Apple!

1 of 8 shots! This is the data of the last quarter of Melon, but it was this shot that made the Knicks lose the game, and the reality is such a joy, Melon finally surpassed himself.

The people of Denver looked at each other, and the silence was followed by the cheers of the audience, the melon was still the same melon, just like his sweet smile that never changed.

At 104:106, the Knicks lost unfortunately, but this result was not bad, at least they still had a third quarter.

The people of Denver sent off the New York visitors with the warmest applause, and no one cared about the final result, all they saw was the excitement of the game, and that was enough! (To be continued......)
