The Knicks and Thunder, two evenly matched opponents, didn't fight much fiercely, and the situation in the third quarter was similar to the first two quarters, and the scores of the two teams were always anxious.

Although the Thunder wanted to take advantage of Li Chen's absence to take the opportunity to open up the score gap, the Knicks' bench lineup was not weaker than the Thunder, and after a few minutes of battle, the Knicks pulled back two points. This has made D'Antoni particularly satisfied, and the Knicks desperately need strength off the bench at a time when the main team is tired.

Perhaps feeling the pressure of Harrington's return in advance, Mirisic played very seriously in this game, in addition to contributing two goals on the offensive end, he also sent a block on the defensive end, and Wei Shao was too underestimated to inevitably become the laughing stock of Detroit.

Why Detroit, because no one knows Mirisic's details better than the Detroiters, and that's where the title of human cigar comes from, and if Mirisic had a little bit of strength, the Pistons wouldn't have thrown Milicic out of the way.

can be covered by such Mirisic, especially for a player like Wei Shao, who is known as an iron man, people have to sigh that the world is impermanent.

"Well done! If you can keep up this kind of performance in the future, I'll buy you some playing time from Michael! ”

Li Chen's proposal is very tempting, for a bench player like Mirisic, playing time is always the most precious thing, otherwise, even the most confident player will not dare to guarantee that he can always be in the team.

In the final quarter of the game, the Knicks' main lineup returned to the court. At this time, the difference between the two teams is only 2 points, which is almost negligible, so that the two teams are equivalent to standing on the same starting line, and the performance of the final game will directly determine the success or failure of the game.

Harden's outside shot was honorably struck. The Thunder gave the ball to the Knicks, who seized the opportunity to successfully counterattack and tie the score.

The Thunder called a timeout to try to take a break from the situation, and the Knicks also seized this time to recover their physical strength, although the team is also dominated by young people, but the physical storage in New York is still slightly inferior, and the Thunder's multi-point offensive strategy allows their physical exertion to be reasonably distributed. Not so with the Knicks.

After the timeout, the Thunder restarted, and Westbrook hit a layup. Relying on his speed, he passed Curry and David Lee, who came up to make up for the defense, and scored the ball in the face of Chandler's block.

With the Thunder's twin deficits in place, and with the addition of newcomer Harden and the already stellar Serge Ibaka and Green, the Oklamans' five-star model is enough to make the general manager of any team in the league salivate. Although the issue of ball distribution is a headache. But it's also a pleasure to have a headache.

For example, the current Rockets manager Morey, even if he is constantly tricked into sending either Ariza and Gallinari in exchange for harmony within the team, the shrewd old guy simply disagrees.

Instead of selling it at a low price, it is better to run in for a while, anyway, for today's Rockets, it is basically impossible to enter the playoffs, and there is no obvious difference between ranking in the tenth position and ranking ninth, and it is also impossible to squeeze into the playoffs. The former can also give the Rockets a good draft pick, which is a wise choice no matter how you look at it.

The idea of the Thunder management is estimated to be not much different from Morey's. All the contradictions wait until this season, although Harden has the talent to be the leader of a team, but it is still unknown whether he can surpass Durant and Westbrook, and the Thunder need enough evidence to convince themselves to make a final decision, and a season of games is the best proof.

Harden's shooting is iron again, the appearance of the iron god has gradually taken shape, although the beard has excellent outside strength, but he obviously needs to clarify his shooting options, in Durant's team, blindly indiscriminate shooting will only wear out the coach's trust little by little, and eventually the sixth man will become the beard's belonging.

is also a rookie, Curry's regular outside three-pointers in New York are in stark contrast to the beard, even if it is still a little sluggish, but Curry's performance is finally in a steady rise, the rookie has cut 13 points so far in this game, and the shooting rate is as high as 52, and the steady play makes the mustache very satisfied.

Halfway through the final quarter, the scores of the two teams were still equal, and the 94:94 data made people clearly feel the anxiety of the game, as expected by the outside world, the two young teams did not have too obvious differences in strength, and also relied on the individual performance of the stars, the Knicks and Thunder used their talents to the fullest.

It's Westbrook again, the quick-eyed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles accurately cut off the pass of the Big Apple, and then passed to the fast Harden, who ran to the basket unimpeded like a small tank, ignoring Curry who was following up, and Harden dunked the ball into the basket steadily.

There was a cheer on the sidelines, and the bearded support group also came to the scene today, and it was obvious from the fake mustaches on their chins that they belonged, although the current performance of the Tanhua Show was not perfect, but it still attracted a lot of fans for him, and the maverick beard naturally became a symbol of Harden fans.

Because it was on the road, the Knicks players didn't have anyone to cheer them on, and the shouting on the bench was almost negligible compared to the noise of the whole court, but for professional players, the atmosphere has long been adapted.

Battier hit the ball to the basket in the midst of the noise of the court, and the Batman always made a difference for the team when it mattered, especially in the final moments of the game, and D'Antoni was more than happy to put Battier on the court.

Li Chen, who gave the assist, and Battier high-fived to celebrate, because after this three-point shot, the Knicks have completed the overtake, although there is only a one-point advantage, but for the Knicks, who rarely led the whole game, they will score at the last moment, such a situation is already very optimistic, and the next thing they have to do is just expand the point difference and win the game.

Durant took over the task of chasing points, breaking through the extraordinary series from beyond the three-point line. After taking the first step past Li Chen, who was in the front position, Adu strode towards the Knicks' basket before colliding with Chandler. Durant hits a pullup jump shot.

The Knicks, who were the leader just now, were the underdog in an instant, and the score fell into the most tangled alternate lead stage, and the fans became the most excited group, and they could always cheer for a long time every time the Thunder scored a goal or completed a successful defense.

In the final two minutes, the Knicks had the ball, but they were still one point behind. Li Chen holds the ball outside the three-point line, and at such a critical time, the Big Apple will undoubtedly be the most trustworthy object for the Knicks.

Li Chen lived up to everyone's trust. After a simple crossover, he cleverly slipped past Durant, who was not steady enough in the next set, and then went all the way to the other side of the court along the baseline and scored two points on a backhand layup.

Durant, who made a defensive error, shook his head slightly. Although the Big Apple technology is rough. But the problem is that he can always come up with some unexpected offensive plans, especially when combined with his extraordinary strength, he can often catch defenders off guard.

But the sigh is just this moment, the next second, Durant has already taken over the basketball, and like Li Chen, he also carries the expectation of the team's victory on his shoulders, and the big apple has already taken the lead. He must also be colored.

In the process of lateral movement, he suddenly handed the ball to Harden, who slipped into the baseline, and the bearded dodged in the air and hit a layup. Durant uses his individual strength to create opportunities for his teammates, and his character of not being greedy for merit is especially important for a leading player, after all, basketball is not an individual game, everyone has the value of his existence.

The Knicks' offense is in the hands of Li Chen again, the Big Apple is not as lucky as Durant, in the Knicks, a team where rookies and blue-collar workers are rampant, except for David Lee, who can share a little pressure for him at some times, he can only rely on himself at other times.

With the help of the opponent's cover, the outside shot was a very tragic iron, but this also fulfilled his self-throwing and self-grabbing good play, after grabbing the rebound, Li Chen threw the ball out again in the drift, in addition to a two-point shot, he also won a foul.

Ibaka couldn't stop his hand at the critical moment, even if he only touched it slightly, but the sharp-eyed referee still gave Li Chen a free throw. The hot-tempered Serge Ibaka was very depressed, and in the subsequent offense, he angrily pushed Chandler when his shot was interfered with.

Although Li Chen and Durant quickly opened the conflict between the two sides, the referee still gave Ibaka a technical foul, and the immaturity of the big center's mind cast a shadow on the Thunder for a while, and they had to accept the penalty of two free throws and one throw.

The shouts of the "black whistle" all over the court made the Ford Center suddenly very spectacular, and the fans who were inclined to the Thunder were very unhappy with the referee's decision, and the situation was still very stale, but the referee of a tendon destroyed the balance in a blink of an eye, less than a minute, a gap of 4 points, and the ball was still the Knicks's, which made the Thunder how to turn the tables?

Of course, as a member of the team, there is no reason for Durant to give up the game first, even if the situation is already very unfavorable, he still maintains the level of confidence he wants to be.

The Knicks were already running out of time, and with the advantage, they were unscrupulously dangling the ball around, and in the last 10 seconds, Li Chen began to attack.

Seeing the opportunity to pass the ball out, Chandler under the basket has found an opportunity to receive an open catch, but at the critical time, Ibaka, who has just been the object of everyone's accusations, made a meritorious service, he almost changed Chandler's must-score dunk head-on, and the basketball was not out of bounds, Durant desperately hit the ball back into the court, and Westbrook received the basketball.

In order to attack later, the Thunder deliberately called a timeout, counting the time, they had to shoot a three-pointer, and then in the Knicks' offensive round, they had to use foul tactics, if the Knicks hit two free throws, they also had to shoot a three-pointer to ensure that it went into overtime.

The idea was perfect, but the reality was brutal, and in just five seconds, the Knicks put an end to the Thunder's idea of wanting overtime. The bullied babyface unexpectedly cut off Wei Shao's pass to Durant, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, who had a high turnover rate, once again made a good grave for the Thunder.

The Knicks had already declared victory, and the Thunder's foul tactics didn't pay off very well, and David Lee's two free throws and two hits completely made the Thunder give up resistance.

109:103, the Knicks won a victory with Ibaka's brain-dead performance, Li Chen was elected the best of the game, 37 points, 4 assists and 8 rebounds performance is obviously slightly better than Durant's 31 points, and the internal battle within the scoring list that attracted much attention before the game ended with the victory of the Big Apple.

"The Knicks are very strong, they have the most talented players, they have amazing rookies, and of course, we played well in this game, and honestly, we lost to luck!"

In the post-game press conference, Durant behaved very low-key, although everyone knew that the fault was Ibaka, but Durant did not have any intention of complaining about his teammates, and the young Adu already had a considerable degree of leadership qualities.

After saying goodbye to Durant, people are looking forward to another game in New York shortly after, when the Big Apple will once again receive a challenge from the scoring charts, and Melons and his Nuggets will await the Knicks in Denver, which in the most popular words will be another Mars collision with Earth.
