Chapter 298: Overtime
"YEAH" At the moment when the tall and strong scored the ball, Nets coach Johnson, who was nervously standing on the sidelines, waved his arms excitedly, and in the suddenly somewhat "quiet" arena, Johnson's exclamation was particularly obvious.
Gao Dazhuang was also very excited after the goal, although the goal came very late, but Gao Dazhuang never lost confidence in himself, not only Gao Dazhuang, during the first quarter break, the entire Nets team expressed their support for Gao Dazhuang, especially head coach Johnson, so after the goal, Gao Dazhuang pointed his finger at Coach Johnson to express his gratitude.
In a team with himself at its core, Gao Dazhuang is no longer as nervous as he was in the Rockets, he has plenty of time to adjust to his condition, and of course, this goal also allows Gao Dazhuang to release the pressure on his body.
"Brush", tall and strong and steady penalty the ball, 2+1!
The tall and strong goal intensified the confrontation between the two sides on the court, and Knicks main player Anthony immediately responded with a mid-range jumper from the Nets.
"Hey, kid, you just happened to have it" The Nets attacked, and just after halftime, Felton sprayed "trash talk" at the tall man.
In the face of Felton's chatter, the tall man took the initiative to ask his teammates for the ball, and he had to use practical actions to fight back against his opponents.
As soon as Delon's pass reached Gao Dazhuang's hand, Gao Dazhuang suddenly wanted to break through from Felton's flank, Felton was just about to move, and with a "Peng" sound, Wallace appeared on his side, successfully blocking his pursuit of defense.
Pick-and-roll! In the face of the Knicks' trap-and-clamp tactics against Tall and Strong, the Nets naturally would not sit idly by, and Wallace, who had the most tacit understanding with Tall and Strong, took the lead in standing up.
With the help of Wallace's cover, the tall man got rid of Felton's defense with an acceleration and went straight to the restricted area, but then Nets veteran Kidd quickly stepped in and attacked from the side to make a steal.
Tall and strong had already caught a glimpse of Kidd, but his speed did not weaken in the slightest, on the contrary, a big stride increased his speed to the extreme again, and when he was half a meter away from Kidd, he suddenly changed direction at a limit, wanting to break through from his side.
"Not good" Kidd saw that his speed couldn't keep up with the second acceleration of the tall and strong, and suddenly gritted his teeth, moved sideways, and secretly slammed into the tall and strong from the side.
With a sound of "Peng", the bodies of the two slammed together.
Kidd, who consciously took the initiative to hit, staggered backwards, while Tall Stout was knocked into the air by the sudden impact and flew out to the side and back.
"Toot", the referee's whistle sounded in time, "defensive foul".
At this time, the tall and strong who was knocked into the air lost his body balance, held the ball in one hand, aimed at the basket, and threw the ball steadily, and after the ball was shot, the tall and strong fell heavily on the floor.
With a "brush", the basketball ghost thrown by the tall and strong man smashed the rebound and rebounded into the net.
"NO" Kidd looked at the tall and strong man who fell to the ground in disbelief, he knew the power of the impact just now, he secretly exerted his strength, just to teach this "rookie" a hard lesson, but he was beaten by it a 2+1.
"Oh" is another 2+1! This is the Madison Square Knicks fans couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamation, and the tall and strong back-to-back goals also made the boos in the arena significantly smaller.
The timely recovery of the tall and strong gave the Nets a lot of motivation, and in addition to the excellent state of small forward Wallace today, the Nets still clung to the score despite the hot hands of Anthony, the core player of the Knicks.
In the face of the Nets' pursuit, the Knicks also quickly made adjustments and replaced them with their "super sixth man" JR Smith.
In fact, as early as the CBA League, Gao Dazhuang played against JR Smith, who was playing for Zhejiang Chouzhou Bank at the time, and in that game, JR Smith shot 16 of 36 and 7 of 11 free throws, scoring 43 points, while Gao Dazhuang shot 13 of 23 and 8 of 9 free throws, contributing 37 points.
It's just that JR Smith that day was the "super foreign aid" with the strongest offensive firepower in the CBA league, and Gao Dazhuang was just a rookie.
And today, when the two "old men" met at Madison Square Garden in New York, their identities have undergone some changes: although JR Smith occupies the sixth man position in the Knicks with his excellent individual singles ability, he is no longer the rookie he was at the beginning, he has won the rookie of the month when he first entered the NBA, scored 50 points, and even in order to get him, the Nets did not hesitate to send away their All-Star guard, and now Gao Dazhuang is the most popular "little student" in the league.
JR Smith is a standard shooting guard, with strong individual ability, and is excellent at breaking, 3-pointers, and dunks, but his nickname of "Nerve Knife" indicates that his scoring is not consistent enough, and although he can often throw 5-6 3-pointers in a game, he may shoot 2 to 3 times as many as he scores.
But in this game, perhaps stimulated by the performance of the tall and strong in the NBA, JR Smith scored one after another after coming on the court, and the efficiency was amazing, which took some of the pressure off the shoulders for Anthony.
At 72:82, at the end of the third quarter, the Knicks, who were playing at home, led by Anthony and Smith, led the Nets by 10 points.
For the Knicks, Anthony scored a game-high 25 points and seven rebounds, J.R. Smith had 17 points, two rebounds and one assist, and Kidd had 14 points, four rebounds and six assists.
The Nets' highest score was Wallace's 18 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist, and the main point guard Delon also scored 17 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists.
Gao Dazhuang, who did not score a point in the first quarter, also began to recover in the second quarter, with a good ability to make fouls, Gao Dazhuang finally scored 15 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist in the first three quarters.
The fourth quarter had just begun, and the New York Knicks, led by Anthony and J.R. Smith, unleashed a 10-2 offensive wave that forced the Nets to call a timeout.
At this time, the Knicks fans in the entire Madison Garden Plaza sang loudly: "There is only one team in New York, and that is the Knicks......"
Spike Lee, a big fan of the Knicks, even walked around in front of the Nets' rest area arrogantly and kept saying something to Nets owner Jay-Z and his beloved wife Beyoncé.
"Hey, boys, we can lose any game, but we have to win this game" In the face of the Knicks' aggressiveness, Nets coach Johnson was trying to boost the morale of the players as much as possible: "This is New York, this game is a national live city derby, in front of hundreds of millions of fans, we have to play our own blood, to let the Knicks know that the era of Brooklyn has come......"
After the timeout, the Nets went on offense, and their first attack option was still tall and strong.
When the Knicks also estimated this, as soon as Tall and Strong arrived, Felton immediately posted it and stuck to Tall and Strong.
In order to create enough pressure on the tall and strong, Felton did his best in this game, he even gave up his offense and put all his energy into the defensive end, and Felton only scored 2 points in the game so far.
"Squeak" Tall and Strong pushed Felton in front of him, a reverse run, and the moment he got rid of Felton's defense, Delon passed the ball to Tall and Strong in time.
After receiving the ball, Gao Dazhuang turned around and wanted to shoot, and at the moment when Felton pounced, there was a "snap", and Gao Dazhuang changed direction to break through, and did not wait for Kidd to close the circle, a step-back jumper, and made a decisive shot.
With a "brush", the tall and strong half-volley hit and broke the deadlock on the court.
The tall and strong goal greatly boosted the morale of the Nets, and with a perfect defense, the Nets managed to defend the Knicks' offense.
The "pop" ball was once again handed into Gao Dazhuang's hands, and Felton stared at Gao Dazhuang with red eyes.
The tall and strong continuous crotch dribble gradually approached Felton, and when he was only one meter away from Felton, the tall and strong suddenly increased his speed, and he wanted to pass by Felton.
But at the moment when Felton's center of gravity was just adjusted, there was a "squeak", and the ball was pulled back from under the crotch by Gao Dazhuang, who jumped directly with a sharp stop, and Gao Dazhuang instantly completed the transformation from extreme movement to extreme quiet, and made a jump shot.
With a "brush", under Felton's gaze, the tall and strong half-volley jumper hit again.
In the face of Felton and Kidd's sandwich, the tall and strong who gradually recovered began to kill the opponent frequently on the outside, and under the leadership of the tall and strong, the Nets also played better and better, Delon, Wallace, Humphries all scored, and the Knicks suddenly fell into a scoring drought, once did not score a point in 3 minutes, and the Nets gradually approached the score.
97:99, 30 minutes before the end of the game, the Knicks at home still lead by 2 points, but the ball is in the hands of the Nets.
The whole Madison Garden Plaza was devoid of the hustle and bustle, and all the balls focused their attention on the tall man who dribbled.
"Papa" is tall and strong dribbling the ball near the free-throw line while the clock ticks by.
At this time, Gao Dazhuang made a gesture and beckoned his teammate Wallace to step forward to block and dismantle, but when Felton looked back at Wallace's position, Gao Dazhuang grabbed the opponent's mistake, and suddenly accelerated in a simple straight line, instantly got rid of Felton's defense, and rushed straight to the penalty area.
Gao Dazhuang, who entered the restricted area, directly faced the Knicks' rapidly shrinking defensive circle, but Gao Dazhuang did not mean to back down, and immediately jumped high after stepping into the paint area and attacked the basket.
However, at this time, Anthony, Chandler and Felton who were defending on the flanks pounced on the tall and strong at the same time and formed a trap on him.
"Slap" Under the dense defense of the Knicks, the tall and strong passed the ball to Wallace, who cut in the back row, with an extremely hidden back hand.
"Good ball" Wallace yelled, and after receiving the ball, he took advantage of the situation and made a sideways layup.
However, at the moment when Wallace made a move, Anthony, the star of the Knicks, reacted very quickly and immediately pounced.
Before Anthony could get to him, Wallace felt the pressure coming over him, so in the final shot, Wallace gently picked the ball with his fingers, and the ball was thrown in a large arc, thus successfully avoiding Anthony's block.
"Dang", but Wallace's layup hit the basket and bounced out.
Anthony under the "my" basket stuck Wallace with one hand, judged the landing point of the pop-up basketball, jumped up violently, and pounced on the basketball with both hands.
But at this time there was a man who was faster than him, tall and strong!
I saw the tall and strong leap high from the flank, and grabbed the ball with his hand before Anthony.
With a "brush", the tall and strong basket hit.
There was a burst of exclamations from the audience, and the entire arena fell silent, while on the contrary, Nets owner Jay-Z jumped up from the first row of spectators excitedly and cheered loudly.
Before the Nets could celebrate the crucial goal, the Knicks quickly served and launched a counterattack, but Anthony missed a jumper to send the game into overtime.
P: In the past two days, the unit has a lot of things, and I have been running around, and sometimes I can't get on the Internet, so the update is a little problematic, and the chapters that have fallen will be made up soon.
