Another mistake! Li Chen shook his hand depressedly, this is the second time in the third quarter, although it doesn't seem like much, but considering his usual few mistakes and assists, the performance of 2 mistakes in a single quarter is already a little unacceptable, especially at this time before the first quarter of the game has passed.

Of course, a big reason for the mistake was not because of Li Chen, but also one of the main reasons for the lack of strength of the rest of the Knicks, when the 76ers tried their best to limit Li Chen, no one in the Knicks stood up at a critical time. In ten minutes of the game, the 76ers' ugly defense helped them limit the Knicks' offense while also allowing them to tie the score.

D'Antoni called a timeout, and the mustache emphasized the importance of running over and over again, but it turned out that the problem was not here, the shooting did not go in, the psychological tension, and the fear of shooting, which is the biggest problem facing the Knicks right now.

"Gotta figure figure it out!" Li Chen secretly told himself that the unreliability of his teammates no longer needed him to repeat it repeatedly, and how to help the team get out of trouble was what he wanted to know most now.

Li Chen didn't feel inappropriate to habitually get the ball, but in the eyes of the audience outside the court, Big Apple's offensive way was a little strange, because the place where he stood was near the three-second zone, and in that place, only big men generally dared to make a ball action.

Fortunately, Li Chen is not a small man, and his excellent arm span and amazing strength are enough to help him smooth out the lack of height, Curry passed the ball over, Li Chen did not choose to turn around and jump, in this position, it is obvious that the layup is much more reliable.

Didn't hesitate at all. Li Chen skillfully threw the ball out with a sideways hook hand, similar to Duncan's way of playing the board, and the basketball bounced into the basket.

Hey! After scoring the goal, Li Chen suddenly thought of something. It will be very uncomfortable to encounter a bag with the ball on the outside, but there is a difference on the inside, not to mention whether the opponent can fall in time under the premise of being stuck in a favorable position, the key is that even if you can't throw a foul in the three-second zone, it is not difficult to do it, and now it is not the same as before, even if you cheat to the foul, even if you earn it.

Then in the next attack, Li Chen once again squeezed into the inside position. The basketball came to him again, and in almost the same action as just now, Big Apple hit the board sideways and hit the basket again.

Iguodala is going crazy. Li Chen's offensive method made him empty but unable to use his strength at all, so he relied on the advantage of strength to hold Xiao Aika behind him, and then turned around and hooked his hand, it was as simple as that. But for Xiao Ai, it is not as simple as it is verbally said. He was going to be involved in defense, and Li Chen's two shots showed that his defense didn't work.

On the third offense, the 76ers responded, with Dam Porter pulling out to defend and Iguodala turning to stare at Milicic. Facts have proved that in the competition of pure strength, the big center Daimport can't squeeze Li Chen, but fortunately, he has height. The elongated ape arm completely blocked the route of Li Chen's hook hand.

However, Li Chen is not just a hook hand, and it may be difficult to face Iguodala. But in the face of the sluggish Daimport Li Chen, there are countless ways to get rid of the defense, dribbling and pulling out the outside line and jumping directly away, and the Big Apple does not leave the 76ers time to change defenses at all.

The situation on the court made Eddie Jordan call a timeout, and he felt that he had to come up with some way to restrain Li Chen's cleverness, and his so-called solution was still to wrap up.

"Andre, if you can't squeeze through the front defense, and besides, Elton and Samuel, don't give that guy time to get in the spot, as long as he dares to shake around the three-second zone, then let him fall into a suffocating defense." Eddie Jordan eloquently laid out his plans, and the 76ers were quick to put them into practice.

But here's the problem, it's impractical to let Iguodala go around the front defense, not only does Li Chen like to rely on his strong body to firmly jam the opponent, the key is that this guy is still slippery and loach-like, he won't stay stupid and wait to go around, once the defender dares to leave the back of his head to him, there is nothing to say, turn around and run.

In desperation, Li Chen pushed himself into a situation without the ball, and the VIP-level defense did make him lose the angle of his shot, but the problem is that this defense also exposed a big hole in the 76ers' defense, and the Knicks, who everyone has a certain basket, quickly made the opponent pay the price of contempt.

Larry Hughes hit a mid-range jumper and the steal king's shot was unreliable, but that doesn't mean the 76ers have enough capital to challenge the accuracy of a professional shooting guard.

The Knicks hit another shot, this time by Mirisic, and under the influence of his team-mate's excellent performance, the victory cigar also showed a winning smile, and it is impossible for him from a European professional league to not shoot.

The 76ers themselves pushed themselves into a difficult situation, and the score was once again pulled apart little by little, for a team like the Knicks, as long as they play with confidence, any team has the capital to fight.

In order to better execute the tactics, D'Antoni simply replaced Mirisic, Li Chen took the position of power forward, and Battier was able to further implicate the 76ers' porous defense, this time, the three-point shot became the Knicks' weapon.

The Knicks' lineup and tactics at this time are unprecedentedly simple, everyone pulls away, Li Chen stands near the three-second zone, and the 76ers are not clamped, then Ok, one-on-one heads-up under the basket.

Whether it's Iguodala or Damport or Brand, Li Chen can always rely on his advantage to score the ball, rely on strength and arm span against Iguodala, and use speed and dexterity against big men, the 76ers have long known the metamorphosis of the Big Apple, but they don't know that the Big Apple can be so perverted.

The continuous singles quickly made the 76ers take the trap, because in addition to scoring goals, Li Chen can also cause fouls from defenders from time to time, and if he is allowed to do so, it is difficult to guarantee that some players of the 76ers can support the whole court.

It's even simpler after the pack, Curry's passing level is not subtle, but it is enough for the current situation, the 76ers can pass whoever misses, and anyone on the floor is willing to have a close contact with the opponent's basket.

"Haha. This kid is so good! D'Antoni on the sidelines shook his mustache with excitement, especially when he saw the face of Eddie Jordan opposite, he was even more happy. If this continues, the Knicks will definitely win the victory.

However, things are obviously not so simple, the 76ers who started by defense soon realized that they had fallen into the opponent's deception, Eddie Jordan quickly called a timeout, and after the timeout, it was discovered that the 76ers' formation had changed. They put on a standard joint defensive stance.

I have to say that the 76ers have temporarily gotten rid of the predicament just now, but the Knicks have already relied on the wave of offense just now to play a touch. Li Chen didn't have to face the tragedy of having no help just now, and made a tactical gesture, and the Knicks players quickly began the signature irregular running in D'Antoni's small-ball tactics.

Seeing that the other party was waiting for his own impact, Li Chen simply rose from the ground. The move to break the joint defense couldn't be simpler. Excellent outside shooting is the nightmare of this tactic.

Not only did Li Chen shoot alone, but the rest of the Knicks were also happy to add icing on the cake, Harrington almost threw a two-point shot at the top of the arc, which is already a three-point shot if converted into an arc, and Harrington proved with his actual performance that he is worthy of the Knicks spending a Crawford with the best sixth man potential for him.

By the end of the third quarter, the Knicks had completely erased the previous slight gap. With an excellent performance in the second half, they surpassed the 76ers by 9 points. In this quarter alone, the Knicks shot a total of 5 three-pointers, and 3 of them belonged to Li Chen.

A short intermission is not enough for the 76ers to come up with any way to restrain them, maybe they have no way, if they have a big forward like Lewis or Odom, they may be able to guard against Li Chen, but the problem is that they don't, it is obviously impossible to expect Brand to guard against Li Chen, and it is already rare for the old captain not to be thrown a few meters away by the big apple.

For the current situation, in addition to the Knicks, the happiest may be the Clippers, the Los Angeles people will not forget Brand's betrayal, and now this thing has become a high-paid and low-performance representative season after season of injury, which is obviously in line with the wishes of Clippers fans.

Even some radical fans publicly expressed their gratitude to Brand for leaving, otherwise they would have had a headache over how to make such a 16 million parallel goods valuable.

If you can't defend against it, then it's better than attacking, and scoring is the most effective way! Some of the 76ers had such a simple and clear idea, and the answer completely ignored the team's coordination questions, took a few steps and flashed into the Knicks' three-second zone, and then threw the ball into the basket.

"Look, offense is the most effective defense!" Iverson said secretly, inadvertently, the idea of the answer actually thought of D'Antoni, the focus of the mustache has always been on the offense, and he has a way to solve the problem that the offense can't be opened, but the defense depends entirely on the free play of the players.

“Go！ The race is now in our rhythm, and now it's time to pick the fruits of victory! Li Chen clapped his hands and said, "We are born to attack, glory or destruction, it only depends on us!" ”

The Big Apple's outside three-pointer pierced the opponent's basket again, the 76ers did not hesitate, picked up the ball, Iverson rushed forward, Iguodala jumped up and received the answer pass and dunked, and there was another commotion in the arena.

It is a very clear fact that when the 76ers, who relied on the defensive team, turned to the Knicks, who were on the offensive side, the result was obvious, and the 76ers quickly paid the price for their impulsiveness, and the Knicks scored 7 points on three offenses, while the 76ers only relied on free throws to score 1 point.

Fans outside the court were depressed to find that the time of the game was so fast, Eddie Jordan seemed to have given up the game, except for a timeout in the middle of the game, he barely made any tactical changes, and the point difference was naturally widened by the Knicks.

Iverson hit a three-pointer, but the answer didn't show much joy, and a three-pointer seemed so weak against a double-digit margin that had been stretched to a double-digit deficit, especially with less than a minute to go.

With the whistle blowing, this highly-anticipated battle for playoff tickets has finally come to an end. The Knicks defeated the 76ers 109-96, and the Big Apple scored 43 points alone to win the best of the game, and it is especially worth mentioning that 29 of the 43 points were scored in the second half.

The Knicks were finally able to return to eighth place in the East, and the Big Apple only had two games to play, and the 76ers didn't want to accept it, but they still had to honestly hand in the last ticket to the playoffs.

"It's only temporary, we'll be back soon!" Iverson is as unyielding as ever, and with more than a dozen games to go, he has confidence in the 76ers, or he can be said to be confident in himself.

Of course, there are also a lot of bad people, such as the obnoxious guy in New York, and when asked about Iverson's speech, Big Apple's answer is extremely hateful.

"Ahh It feels so good to be back, no wonder so many people want this location so much, but I would say that since we're back, we're not going to leave! (To be continued......)
