Chapter 353: The Dust Settles

Ever since Milicic went down, Stan Van Gundy's confidence has never wavered, because he always thinks that Slack is in his control. He saw that the Knicks had only one dash that could change the direction of the game, so he unscrupulously managed the dash and let him score until he was out of shape.

The Knicks do have only one player who can change the shape of the game, right. However, Dash was never under Stan Van Gundy's control. The NBA may have a head coach who can control Xiao Xiao in the broad sense of the word, but that person's name must not be Stan Van Gundy.

Bang!

Wilt Chandler missed the second free throw, but the basketball flew far away, swooping down and leaping high to pick up the rebound, while Gortat didn't even react...... He's not the best defensive player after all, and the rebounding maniac White Howard.

After stealing the rebound, Xiao quickly retreated outside the three-point line. At this time, Michael Petrus also quickly followed.

As soon as he came up, the frequency of action was quite large, but Xiao Xiao was just a quick dodge, ignoring the help of Rashad Lewis on the side, and directly pulled up the jump shot...... Rashad Lewis was a little surprised by Xiao Xiao's sudden shot from outside the three-point line, and quickly pounced on it to block in a hurry, but it was too late, and Xiao Xiao's basketball flew out of his palm...... Swish!

Soon, the basketball hole pierced the net!

It also broke the hearts of the Magic fans in the Mizuya Center and in front of the TV!

What the? What the? What the?

Stan Van Gundy's eyes were full of amazement, and he looked at the big screen above his head in disbelief, and he felt incredible...... Xiao Sao actually hit a dry three-point shot from outside the three-point line! Isn't he the worst at jumping shots? How could he hit such a three-pointer under the bag?

Shocked. Suddenly, a wave of despair welled up in Stan Van Gundy's heart. Because he remembered the game he had watched in the airport shy, crazy scoring show. In those games, there was no ball and no ball.

Could it be said? This dry three-point signal that he is about to have convulsions??

At this thought, the desperate Stan Van Gundy stumbled, his fat body almost didn't fall to the ground, and he quickly half-squatted down, his heart beating violently. He felt that the world was too unfair to him, why had he already forced Xiao Shi to a desperate situation on the edge of the cliff, and he was almost kicking the door. How could he be put to death and then born? He could have declared the victory, but how could he suddenly shoot into this level of dry three?

At the same time that Stan Van Gundy was in deep despair. Xiao Xiao, who hit this dry three-pointer, had already turned his head to him and said to him: "Thank you, Coach Van Gundy." I suddenly felt a lot better in my hand, as if I could throw any ball into it. I think it must be because you relaxed your defense against me and you gave me enough time to find my touch. And now, I'm going to take your kindness to win this game! You're such a nice guy!! ”

Without the slightest precaution, the chic good guy card came so suddenly.

Stan Van Gundy felt terrible, and the taunt was a total denial for him. He suddenly felt that he was a fool and that he had made a mistake tactically from the start...... Although he knew that this qiΔ“ was a conspiracy at all, the chagrin and guilt in his heart couldn't restrain himself at all!!

Am I wrong? I was wrong!!

Stan Van Gundy bowed his head under the back of Xiao Dang, and the confidence in his heart that had never wavered was lost because of Xiao Xiao's dry three.

And worse things happened. When back in the half, there was no inside Dwight Howard to help him. The outside of the Magic team also became panicked. Soon, Nelson ended the offense with a failed layup!

Nelson missed a layup, and Jeffries, who picked up the rebound, quickly threw the basketball to Xiao Sa, who took the basketball and quickly launched a fast break.

At the first time, Michael Petrus followed closely, and Turkoglu followed closely.

However, it is of no avail.

When Xiao rushed to the three-point line, he suddenly made a sharp stop, and then jumped up to shoot...... Swish!

The basketball pierced the net steadily!

Stan Van Gundy, who was still a little lucky, completely collapsed! He knew that Xiao Sa was now a tiger in a defensive cage, and there was no one to stop him. And the sad thing is that this tiger was released by his own hands to bite himself.

For him, the source of bad things is to lift a stone and hit himself in the foot, and he is to blame for everything.

If Stan Van Gundy had a chance to do it all over again, he would have been in for a good time from the start.

This may change the course of the game, but it doesn't really do much for Xiao Po personally. Because, he is not convulsive, but when he enters a state of exhaustion, he will quickly show his true colors of killing gods. Of course, having said that, if the Magic team had been pinch in the first place, then... The score before the dash is bound to be greatly reduced, and it is harder. When the scoring is discounted, the Knicks' score in response will not get a good continuation. Thereupon...... In a vicious circle, by the time the slump enters a state of exhaustion, it may already be too late.

But... Stan Van Gundy didn't do that. So, naturally, this situation has been created.

Originally, the Knicks had a double-digit lead, and now that Xiao is in a god-killing state, does the Magic team have any chance to rebel?

The answer is...... No! 、

With 45 seconds left in the third quarter, Xiao Sao completed three fast breaks. It's three points every time, and one of them is a three-pointer near the center circle!

When Xiao Shi starts to go crazy, the opponent is not only desperate to pray that the game will end quickly!

Stan Van Gundy is desperate, but he has not yet prayed. He made the final tactical deployment at the interjunct timeout and brought on Dwight Howard.

Although Howard has already committed five fouls, Stan Van Gundy is now fighting to the death. Let's fight. Maybe there's a turnaround. It's a smash. At most, Dwight Howard was out of the break. Slaughter yourself in your home opponents!

Now Stan Van Gundy is barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes. He took out the momentum of pulling the emperor off his horse.

However, he still underestimated Xiao Shao, although Xiao Xiao was wearing shoes, but he was wearing skates with ice blades, and the Magic team was barefoot, wasn't it self-defeating?

Less than fifteen seconds into the fourth quarter, Dwight Howard picked up his sixth foul.

The foul was made by Xiao Shi himself, because he had already said that he would send Dwight Howard off the court with his own hands.

It was like this when Dash saw Dwight Howard playing. Immediately took the initiative to take the serve. Then under the tight tracking of Petrus, he went straight to the front.

In the front court, before Rashad Lewis could close up, he quickly broke forward and took out Petrus's defense, and then ran towards the box with two heels. The Knicks' players watched Xiao rush and quickly pulled away, and in an instant only Dwight Howard was left in the restricted area.

Dwight stared intently at Xiao Sa, watching Xiao Sa rush in, his feet firmly planted on the ground, as if he already knew Xiao Sao's tricks...... This guy likes to make a stop in front of a defender the most, and he's going to make a stop in front of me nine times out of ten. I can't be fooled!

Dwight Howard reminded himself very cleverly.

And at this time, Xiao Shi had already galloped in. Dwight Howard only felt a flower in front of him, a wind blew, and the chic disappeared from his eyes.

He quickly turned around and found that Xiao Shi had circled behind him.

Seeing that Xiao Sao was about to go to the basket easily, he realized that he had been fooled, and he was passed by this guy like a stake. He reacted quickly, and he quickly turned around, trying to cover the chic that was so close.

And at this moment, Xiao Shao seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, suddenly turned half a circle, and then leaned close to Dwight Howard, and the shooting hands hit his open right arm hard, and threw the basketball out with a scream!!

Xiao This ball is clearly a foul!!

However, the referee had no objections and quickly gave Dwight Howard a sixth foul.

Because this ball is very clear and clear at a glance, anyone who knows a little bit about the rules of basketball knows that this ball is an undisputed foul.

While everyone knows that Xiao Dash did it on purpose, who made his foul-making technique so perfect?

Dwight Howard didn't argue anything, just lowered his head in annoyance, pulled the jersey out of his pants and wiped the sweat from his face...... The first playoff game of the season ended like this.

And before he left, Xiao Shi deliberately walked up to him and told him very clearly: "You should feel honored, you were kicked off the field by me in a foul way." I'll be looking at Milicic's injury video tonight if I find out that you are acting with hostility or deliberateness...... You should understand what I'm going to do in the next game. ”

With that, Xiao Sao walked to the free throw line.

Dwight Howard only felt a chill down his spine, he turned around, pursed his mouth, tried to say something, finally swallowed, and walked back to the bench with his head down......

With Dwight Howard gone, the fans at the Water House Center began to leave the stadium with a disappointment, and they were no longer interested in watching the next game. Because they already know that this game is no longer in suspense, and they don't want to watch a game that slaughters the home team on their home turf!

The fans can leave the game, but the Magic's coaching staff and players can't leave the game, and even if they surrender, they have to play the final eleven minutes.

Although they were only 20 points behind at this time, they no longer believed that miracles could happen to them. The reason for not believing in miracles is not only because Howard graduated from the six, but also because their opponents are the embodiment of miracles.

Swish!

Swish!

The game resumed after Xiao hit two free throws, and Stan Van Gundy didn't even call a timeout for him. What we can do for the rest of the game is how to find a suitable reason and excuse to give an explanation to the fans in the following time, and how to organize the language to make the fans believe that they will be able to lead the team to win back in the next game.

Stan Van Gundy organizes the post-race speech in his head.

Xiao is still fighting.

But five minutes later, he led the team to a 36-point lead. He chose to end up. And changed to the full bench lineup.

The act of squalling is equivalent to surrendering. The Magic over there also surrendered very happily, and they quickly switched to the bench lineup. Because they don't want to be slaughtered so much, if they are beaten by Xiao Shi with a huge score difference, won't it become a shame for the world to mock?

Xiao Shi returned to the bench, and D'Antoni on the side asked Xiao Shi a little strangely: "Why don't you continue to fight?" I think you're going to get 80 points or more, and now you're only scoring 71 points............

D'Antoni's 'that's all' is very natural, not the slightest bit pretentious. Because in his opinion, it is not surprising how high the score is get.

Xiao heard D'Antoni's regret. Just smiled faintly: "I don't want to give Orlando too many excuses, even if I score more than 100 points tonight, there will be people muttering behind my back, saying that I just relied on the Jordan rule of the Magic team in the first half to get so many points." So, whatever! It's the right thing to do with it when you take a good break, I've already done tons of damage to the Magic anyway! ”

D'Antoni also smiled lightly when he heard this, and did not speak again. He obviously can't do the state of Xiao Xian's thoughts, but he thinks about it, Xiao Xiao is still young, and 71 points has already created a miracle. Higher scores are left for the future!

When leaning on the bench and entering a resting state.

The two live rooms where the match was broadcast were lively. After all, there is no point in competing these days...... It's just a bunch of substitutes consuming garbage time.

"Stan Van Gundy's appearance tonight is stinking shit, and he was actually beaten up by the Knicks when they lost Milicic. I really don't know what he's going to do in his head, he's going to give up defending the only outside core when the Knicks lack an inside core and let him score! Oh, my God! What an amateur head coach would have to make such a decision, and this is a playoff game!! "ESPN's host turned his gun on Stan Van Gundy as soon as he got there.

"Although I am his own brother, I agree with you. He did make a bad decision, and while I knew he had the right intentions, he clearly underestimated Chick's scoring explosiveness. For a guy like Xiao Sa, you have to give him a tight bag anytime, anywhere, every minute. Otherwise, he can only watch him reverse the situation and take away the victory like a cloud! Jeff Van Gundy didn't stand firmly behind his brother at this time, providing consistent support.

"Stan Van Gundy has to learn the lessons of tonight, and if it continues like this, the Magic could be swept by the Knicks. After all...... The best team in the NBA today is the Knicks, who are leading the way. Reggie Miller is also worried about the future of the Magic.

ESPN is discussing Stan Van Gundy's tactics here, and T-NT is always focused on Xiao Slae alone.

"It's hard to believe, this is actually the rookie's first playoff game, except for the beginning when he was a little nervous, the rest of the time he was dominating the whole game, he scored 71 points tonight, I don't know how many numbers jΓΉ broke this number, I just know that tonight he was no different from Michael Jordan, he has been dominating his opponent, and in the end he sent his opponent to the grave with his own hands." The host of T-NT kept singing praises for Chiao.

"......" Kenny Smith was out of the woods, silent, knowing that he was a loser again tonight.

Charles Barkley was a little carried away at this point: "I seem to remember that at the end of the third quarter, someone here kept claiming that the Knicks were going to collapse and that they were going to collapse. But... Now it turns out that the Magic team collapsed after that timeout, and Xiao went into a scoring frenzy and sent the game straight into garbage time! Who is that person? Would you like to raise your hand? ”

Charles Barkley fell mercilessly, he has always been a personality to eliminate evil.

When Kenny Smith heard this, he reluctantly raised his hand, and then, like a newborn cat, pinched and said in a weak voice, "I said it." ”

"Then do you know what's wrong?"

"I ......" Kenny Smith was furious, but in the end it could only turn into silence, deep silence.

"I've said for a long time that role players can never empathize with a superstar, let alone a superplayer. For role players, facing danger means surrendering or failing, while for superstars, traps mean a perfect stage to shine on!! Charles Barkley said affectionately, and did not forget to make up for it at the end: "So, even if a role player evolves into a famous ball commentator, it will not change what is in his bones." ”

Charles Barkley is a role player, Kenny Smith can only suffer deeply, who made him really a role player.

Soon, garbage time was over, the score was fixed at 121:89, and the Magic still trailed by 32 points.
