In the second half of the game, there was no obvious gap between the two teams, and the small climax did not make the game lose suspense prematurely, and the score difference was always kept within 5 points.

Li Chen scored 13 points in the half, such data shows that the Big Apple is in average shape today, and the reason why it can maintain its lead is largely because of the strength of the bench lineup, at the beginning of the second quarter, Marcus Thornton and Nate Robinson cooperated with each other to give the Knicks a wave of climax, and the difference between three consecutive three-pointers instantly stretched to double digits.

After that, the Grizzlies narrowed the score gap little by little with their steady play, Randolph was in good shape, although Milicic's defense played a little bit of a role, but the rotten tofu played still bravely, shooting 7 of 12 in the half, cutting 18 points and 6 rebounds, he was the main contributor to the Grizzlies' ability to bite the score.

Of course, the rest of the Grizzlies also contributed to the team, Gasol Jr. had 6 points and 6 boards, Gay had 11 points, Mayo had 8 points, and Conley also scored 5 points.

"Win this game and fight for the playoffs!" In the home team's locker room, Hollins tried to build momentum from his players, "The whole of Memphis is expecting you to surprise, and I'm sure you won't disappoint!" ”

Similarly, in the visiting dressing room, D'Antoni encouraged his players for the same reason: "It was a good first half, you know, our opponents have been a bit shaky lately, we need a win to secure our lead, I'm sure you can do it!" ”

"I think so too!" Li Chen, who played average in the first half, did not lose his usual chic. He calmly cooperated with the mustache's mental tactics, "The Federation has banned bear hunting for many years, and today may be an opportunity!" ”

I like to make fun of the little potatoes at the right time. "Come on, everyone, and strive to return to New York tonight with a bearskin."

Thorton kicked Robinson in the first place, "Bearskin? Isn't that a bit too cruel? ”

"Cruel fart?" A certain boss was very dissatisfied with this kind of remark, "Marcus, if you had to choose whether to be eaten alive by the bear or let you have the bear flayed alive, I don't think you would feel cruel!" ”

Although the analogy is a bit excessive, to be honest, such a two-way choice is very suitable for the situation of the two teams. In a time like the playoffs, any loss is an undesirable outcome.

At the start of the second half, the Knicks scored first. Milicic scored for the first time of the second half. The interior offense was fouled by Gasol Jr., and Victory Cigar earned himself two free throws.

Milicic clearly won't waste such an opportunity, and the soft touch characteristic of a European player has allowed him to score two goals without any pressure, so far. He's got six points and four rebounds. For a long-time soy sauce player, this statistic can sometimes be a gain for him to have in a whole game, and today was clearly a night to remember.

The Grizzlies responded quickly, and Mike Conley broke through with the ball, but he didn't pass the ball to his teammates, and a somewhat tangled layup helped him score two points.

"Dizzy, that's fine!" Li Chen saw the whole attack on the side, and Conley's ball just now didn't hold it steady when he shot it. The basketball almost flew out of his hand, but all of these goals went in. This makes one have to lament Conley's shit luck.

Subsequently, the Big Apple wanted to demonstrate a real three-step basket for the opponent, but the Grizzlies players who had already prepared for it made Li Chen's offense come to naught, and under Guy's interference, the basketball did not enter the basket as expected.

There was a burst of cheers on the sidelines, and the Grizzlies' bench was celebrating undisciplinedly, although it was just a miss, but considering that it was the Knicks' core players who missed, it gave them enough reason.

Li Chen glared at the guy who was laughing the most, but the other party quickly glared back as it was, anyway, it wasn't a team, they didn't have to think about the boss's emotions all the time like Knicks players.

"I remember you!" Li Chen said secretly, and he was ridiculed for not being able to shoot the ball, which made him very unhappy.

Randolph hit a mid-range shot, so far, his score has exceeded 20 today, and this is only the third quarter, if he can maintain his form, it is not difficult to get a big double-double, and even if he is a little luckier, it is not impossible to win a 30+20 beast data! After all, it's the peak of rotten tofu.

For Randolph, who has been in the league for nine seasons, this season may be the most important turning point in his career. Since coming to the Grizzlies, he's done a lot of things he hasn't done before, and not long ago in Dallas, he made his first All-Star trip.

In particular, it is worth mentioning that so far this season, Rotten Tofu is the only player in the entire Western Conference who has averaged 20+10 per game, and although he was not voted All-Star by fans, his performance has conquered the head coach of the league.

Grizzlies coach Hollins said in front of the media, "I think Zach is in a really good shape, and when he comes, we want him to play with the drive that a veteran should have, and the scoring, the rebounding." A lot of people are talking about his past, some of the things he couldn't do, but what I'm seeing now is that Zach is like a custom-made glove for us, and he works hard every night. ”

In addition to praising Randolph, Hollins also seems to want to remind everyone, "The current Randolph should be different from the infamous, lazy, selfish, and only data-brushing Randolph of the past." ”

Seriously speaking, in fact, Randolph's previous setbacks are not necessarily all his own fault, his first club was the Trail Blazers, who had a reputation for "prison" before Brandon Roy's arrival, and the other two owners, the Knicks and the Clippers, can also be called "star black holes".

For rotten tofu, his strongest weapon is his mid-pitch, and no one can figure it out. Why does such a muscular man who can't be associated with a soft hand have such a stable shot, and his mid-to-long-range jump shot ability is very prominent among the league's power forwards, especially open shots. It can almost be said that there is no bullet in the bullet.

The reason why he can become a disgusted data brush is precisely because of his housekeeping skills, of course, no matter how strong his technology is, he can't hide his bad deeds off the field, stealing, street fighting, and gun trafficking are all evil, known as "Ranbir second", one of the "worst kids" in the league.

Even though Hollins repeatedly emphasized that rotten tofu has been reborn, fans still haven't fully embraced this guy. Obviously, Randolph still needs time to prove his change.

In the stats column, Randolph scored the most in the game. For Li Chen, such a situation is a bit unacceptable, and as the number one scorer, he feels that he needs to prove his ability to others.

Back to single Guy. Li Chen used his most stable and shameless trick. Relying on the strength of a strong man and a monster-like shot to eat the opponent, such a trick has been tried and tested repeatedly.

The powerless Guy seized the opportunity to make a fierce foul, Li Chen took the pain and stopped, although he won two free throws, but the shot that must be scored was also missed because of this change.

Guy smugly put on a nonchalant look, anyway, he is not an insider, and he doesn't need to face the pressure of fouls, as long as he looks at people unpleasantly. He can throw a foul or two whenever he thinks it's worth it.

Li Chen indignantly walked to the free throw line and aimed at the basket with all his might. But anger doesn't improve his shooting percentage, and his free throws aren't as reliable as his shots, making one of two free throws, which fuels Guy's arrogance.

After the switch between offense and defense, Guy, who feared that the opposition would return the favor with his own way, wisely did not touch the ball, and he honestly made a cameo as a bystander, and Mayo hit a pull-up jumper.

Someone who touched the ball again was not polite this time, and forced a breakthrough with the ball, the iron-hearted big apple was not something Guy could stop, and Li Chen directly carried the opponent to hook and hit a layup. Objectively speaking, Guy also helped Li Chen block Gasol Jr. who tried to get a block, if he hadn't blocked Gasol behind him, Li Chen's layup would not have been so decisive.

Two minutes later, Li Chen launched another attack, and directly threw off Guy with the help of cover, and Mayo, who was forced to change defenses, had to follow Li Chen closely, but the latter didn't seem to care about the defenders around him, as if he had broken into no man's land, he jumped very calmly, raised his hand, shot the basket, and scored three points, and everything was as smooth as water.

The Big Apple's continuous scoring made the Grizzly Bear quickly raise his vigilance, and Hollins repeatedly signaled his disciples to strengthen Li Chen's defense, especially Guy, under the premise that the Big Apple's pass was still full of deterrence, he had to take over the defense of Li Chen alone for more time, but the current situation proves that Guy alone is no longer enough to limit the Big Apple that transforms into an orc.

So, the next time Li Chen held the ball, he was surprised to find that the Grizzly Bear had changed his defensive strategy, Guy was not surprised that he was sticking to himself like a dog skin plaster as always, and the surprise was that Xiao Jia also faintly came up to make up for the defense, and Conley, who was not far away, seemed to be ready to wrap the bag, all of which told Li Chen that his next offense would be very difficult.

Of course, Li Chen has never been a person who easily admits intimidation, although the opposite side has already launched a targeted defense against himself, but he still wants to try it.

With a calm face and control the ball in his hand, Li Chen made some small movements from time to time to try to confuse Guy, and suddenly his knees bent slightly to make a breakthrough posture, Guy hurriedly adjusted his center of gravity, Li Chen saw the opportunity to decisively use a back dribble to change the ball to his left hand, and then did not hesitate to rely on the advantage of strength to crush the past.

Xiao Jia stepped forward in time to make up for the defense, but Li Chen had already expected this situation, his left hand shook slightly, and he completed a change of hands again in an instant, because the space on the court could no longer allow him to continue dribbling, Li Chen simply adopted a more convenient way.

After dribbling the ball and suddenly holding the ball in his hand, Li Chen clinged to the tiny gap between Gasol and the bottom line, jumped diagonally, and under the watchful eyes of the audience, the big apple completed a thrilling jump.

The matter did not end there, Randolph prepared for the block in advance, and in the face of the situation that the shooting route was completely blocked, Li Chen did not lose his countermeasures. Holding the ball and jumping along the other side of the baseline basket, holding the ball open with one hand, when he felt that the distance was about the same, Li Chen opened his palm and struggled to lift it upward, and at the same time his wrist suddenly forced.

Li Chen's backhand dunk shocked the audience, even Hollins on the sidelines was a little sluggish, he didn't expect that when he poured almost the entire team's defensive power into the Big Apple, that person could still use such an extraordinary way to score the ball, so it didn't work, so what could stop him?

No one could give this answer, except for Li Chen himself. In order to complete such a wonderful goal, he also paid the corresponding price, unfortunately sprained his foot when he landed, and he had to go off the field to receive temporary treatment in pain and happiness!

For the fans, this goal is exciting, but for the mustache, the big Apple's rashness can only be described as stupid, he has performed enough, but what about the team, D'Antoni looked at his disciples in despair! (To be continued......)
