Chapter 309: Digging the Foot of the Wall

After Zhang Yu hit the three-pointer in "Madison Square Garden", 20,000 New York fans once again ignited their hopes of winning, and cheered fiercely at their own core, hoping that the red rabbit could make a big move in the last minute of the game and kill the Celtics!

With 1:50 left in the game and 93-99, the Knicks trailed by six points and looked like there was still hope that two three-pointers would be able to catch up.

"Huh!"

Just when New York fans fantasized about Zhang Yu coming with two more three-pointers to catch up with the score and overtake, Ray. Alun said, I will do this job too!

Thunder. Allen didn't seem to see him for most of the game, but unconsciously, Killer Ray had 17 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, especially this key three-pointer, showing his killer style.

What about your little bunny cow, what about you scoring twice as much as me? This ball will make you go home fishing!

Zhang Yu now has 36 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals, which looks like a near-perfect number, and the shooting percentage is also good, but these still can't help the team win, they are now 9 points behind, and the game time is less than 2 minutes.

The Knicks attacked, and Crawford returned a three-pointer to score his 26th point of the game.

The Celtics immediately returned a two-pointer, and this offense, Garnett hit a mid-range shot from the free-throw line, and the difference was still eight points.

The New York fans really don't have much confidence now, the cheers and shouts have become sparse, and although no one has left the stadium early, they are clearly out of hope. This game even Spike. Lee knew that the Knicks were going to lose.

Zhang Yu broke through to make a layup, and the Celtics have paid attention to their defensive intensity. Avoid giving the Knicks a two-plus-one opportunity, and if you score two points, what if you can't prevent it from giving it to the Knicks?

In the last minute or so, the rhythm of the two teams suddenly accelerated, you scored one and I scored one, and the score rose rapidly, but time did not stop. Until Zhang Yu broke through to the inside again and scored his 40th point today, there were only 20 seconds left in the game. The score was 100-105, and the Knicks were still five points behind.

That was the final score, and with no more points on either side in the final 20 seconds, the Knicks didn't hold on to their second home court. The aggregate score was 1:3 behind. The match point has already been taken by Celtic.

Zhang Yu played 41 minutes, got 40 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals, Crawford 26 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, Wallace 22 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks.

On May 28, the Los Angeles Lakers and the Denver Nuggets took the lead in the fifth battle of Tianwang Mountain at the Lakers' home court, the "Staples" arena!

In this battle against the kings, the Los Angeles Lakers regained their vitality at home, and they successfully won the match point of the Western Conference finals.

The aggregate score for both teams is 2:2 ahead of this game. But the Lakers won the first four games very lucky, and were even criticized by the media and fans of other teams for relying on referees and godfathers to win!

Today, Kobe Bryant played unusually selflessly. He only had 13 shots, but activated the team's offense with 8 assists, Odom and Gasol both sent double-doubles, and they led the team to an offensive climax in the fourth quarter, which allowed the Lakers to beat the Denver Nuggets 105-99 at home in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals, and the Lakers got the match point in the series 3-2, and the sixth game of the two teams will be moved to Denver on the 30th.

Bryant. Bryant took fewer shots in the game, scoring 24 points, eight assists and five rebounds on 8-of-13 shooting. Odom had 29 points and 14 rebounds. Gasol had 16 points, 10 rebounds and five blocks in the middle of Tevor. Ariza 12 points.

Lamar. Odom was the second contributor to the Lakers' win today, and the Lama shot 10-of-19 today, and when Kobe Bryant drew the defense and reduced his shots, Odom shoved Kobe's bullets on the ground into the chamber of the gun, making countless holes in the Denver Nuggets.

If the Lakers want to beat the Nuggets, who have a big three, they must have players like Odom, Ariza, and Bynum step up and help Kobe take the pressure.

The Denver Nuggets lost touch in the final quarter with Carmelo. Anthony scored a game-high 31 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists. Billups 12 points and 5 assists, Zach. Randolph had 14 points and 10 rebounds, Nene had 10 points and nine rebounds, and J.R. Smith had 11 points.

Today, the Nuggets in the final quarter, the whole team except Anthony lost the crosshairs, Billups rare slump, JR. Smith shot 3 of 15 today, wasting countless opportunities, only Anthony maintained excellent condition, but relying on his strength alone, it was obviously impossible to withstand the full impact of the Lakers in the final quarter, the Lakers' heritage and excellent head coach made them often play unexpectedly in key games.

After the game, despite Odom's excellent performance, all the focus was still on Kobe. The first few games of Peter Pan were exhausted, but today he learned to play with it, and he has hidden his strength on the court and is not in a hurry to attack. Bryant only shot twice in the first quarter, both near the three-point line. In the second quarter, Bryant still closed the game, only broke through to the basket twice and hit a shot, and did not shoot a single shot from medium and long distance.

In the second half, Anthony took the initiative to compete with Ko, and at the beginning of the third quarter, Anthony hit a three-point shot, and Kobe Bryant immediately scored a dunk in the air. However, Bryant still had very few shots, shooting 3-of-4 in the quarter, and he only took 8 shots in the first three quarters.

At that time, Zhang Yu was shouting Kobe Bryant in front of the TV! Before his fourth game with the Green Shirts, Peter Pan, a bastard, told him not to worry so much and shoot when he wanted to, but he himself was in the game and beat him, which was so hateful!

In the fourth quarter of the Lakers, it was Kobe Bryant's three-point and continuous breakthroughs that caused the killing, leading the Lakers to play a wave of offense, overturning the Nuggets in one fell swoop, and winning the battle of Tianwang Mountain.

Zhang Yu and Zach after the game. Randolph hugged each other and cried bitterly, Zhang Yu habitually seduced Randolph on the phone, this guy has a player option in the contract in 2010, and he can jump out of the contract and run back to the Knicks by himself when the time comes.

"Stinky boy, don't think I don't know, you hook up with people, the team is already overcrowded, right?"

"Oh, that's all a joke, there must be a place for you to come."

"It's good, but D'Antoni won't go back for a day in the Knicks, you help me get rid of that guy, and I'll go back in 10 years."

"Okay, then we've decided, don't let me go."

Zack. Randolph scolded: "I should say this, I doubt that you have said this like all the All-Stars, don't hurt me when the time comes, no one wants me, and if you can't get the maximum salary, I will ask you for money." ”

Zhang Yu immediately packed the ticket to Randolph: "Don't worry, it's definitely the top salary!" ”

The two frustrated people chatted on the phone for half an hour, Zhang Yu really wanted to seduce Randolph back to the Big Apple, he watched Randolph's game in the Nuggets, as long as this big ass maintains such a defensive attitude, it is definitely a super-large championship puzzle. And the two have worked together, and he knows that Randolph has no ambitions for the position of team boss, and will not compete with him for the messy troubles of the right to play.

At the same time, after a season of training, Zhang Yu began to feel more and more that D'Antoni's system may be able to play well in the first two rounds of the regular season or playoffs, but without a good defensive system, it is really difficult to win the championship.

The NBA is not like the NCAA, poor defense can also be made up for by individual ability, they proved this very well in their last game, even if they can penetrate the opponent's defense, they can't narrow the score gap, because their own defense is easier to penetrate, and they are destined to not win the game when they meet a real strong team.

"No wonder football stars like to huddle, Lao Tzu also likes to huddle now, I have to have a good meal with Boss Dolan in the summer, rub a bath, and discuss whether to let the mustache get out of the house quickly?

On May 29, the fifth game between the Knicks and the Celtics, the two teams returned to Boston again, and in the home of the Green Shirts, "TD North Shore Garden", this game became a life-and-death battle for the Knicks!

Today's game is likely to be Zhang Yu's last playoff game of the season, and for him and New York fans, although there are regrets, it is more about hope and longing for the future.

Zhang Yu has completed 15 playoff games, averaging 38.6 minutes per game, scoring 30.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 2.4 steals, 0.8 blocks, 3.5 turnovers and 2.9 fouls, shooting 49.8% from the field, 40.1% from three-point range, and 90.5% from the free throw line.

Looking at his regular season games, he averaged 24.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 2.2 steals, 0.7 blocks and 2.5 turnovers per game.

In addition to assists in the playoffs, the Red Rabbit has greatly improved almost all the number of games, and it is rare for ordinary players to not drop in the number of games in the playoffs, especially the players who are good-looking in the regular season, and they can be even better in the playoffs, without exception, they are all Hall of Fame superstars.

Zhang Yu has relied on his super play in the first season and has become the real strongest rookie in NBA history!

Today is likely to be his last playoff game of the season, and even if he is the best rookie in history, it would be too sci-fi to beat the Celtics Big Four in his first season. They were able to reach the Eastern Conference Finals because of the poor strength of the Eastern Conference teams, and with the Cleveland Cavaliers last season, they may not really be able to defeat their opponents and reach the Division Finals.

In the away team's locker room, D'Antoni repeatedly emphasized the layout that had been said to be bad in the first four games, over and over again, nothing more than speed, rebounding, and counterattacking!

These things are effective for the average team, but for the old and spicy Celtics, it can't be a lethal threat at all, and they can win one game is also more dependent on luck. (To be continued......)
