Chapter 505: Hold on for the last two minutes

When Nelson reached the three-point line, Yang Mo quickly let Jeffries withdraw and let him attack. For Yang Mo, he is not afraid of Nelson's attack, but he is afraid that Nelson will not attack.

Nelson quickly passed the ball to the three-point line after failing to break down the joint defense after two quick breakaways, and Rashad Lewis received the ball and shot it...... Boom! Basketball is iron, and Lewis doesn't seem to have adapted to such a quick and fast offensive style.

Yang Mo quickly picked up the rebound, and in the restricted area, Howard had nothing to do with Yang Mo at all. Howard is the league's No. 1 center today, but he will never be able to please two Chinese. One is Yao Ming, who is a lot taller than him, and every time he meets Yao Ming, he will be blown up very badly. And the other is Yang Mo, who is much shorter than him, although Yang Mo is not as tall as Yao Ming, but his strength, explosiveness, bounce power and ability to predict basketball have created great difficulties for Howard and made him miserable.

After Yang Mo picked up the rebound, he quickly launched a fast attack, his teammates ran even harder, Yang Mo just stepped on the halfway, he passed, his ball passed to the unguarded Gallinani in the bottom corner, Gallinani received the ball and threw it...... Swish! Basketball goes to the net.

This golden three-pointer immediately attracted a tsunami-like shout from the fans in the stadium, and the sound wave was higher and higher, and Madison Garden was like a rainbow in an instant.

Stan Van Gundy didn't change his tactics when the Knicks suddenly increased their speed to such a high level and played themselves 5-0 in the opening game, but just replaced Vince Carter with Redick, a younger and better shooter, he believes. Just run like this, and the victory will definitely be him.

Stan Van Gundy is confident, and Yang Mo is confident. But. More confident than them was Charles Barkley in the live broadcast room, and when Garinnani scored a three-pointer to extend the difference to seven, he had already thrown his arms excitedly: "Hey, do you see? Super-Yang is a big assister, and his passing is amazing. He is always the first to find an open teammate and pass the ball to the first place. Stockton, well done. There is no suspense in this game. The Magic are ready for a three-game losing streak, ahaha! ”

Barkley was so arrogant, but Jeff Van Gundy had a very different opinion: "Wait. By the time the Knicks run out in the third quarter, they'll be in a never-ending run of disaster, and the Magic will only need to win in the fourth quarter. ”

"Are you sure the Magic will make it to Season 4?" Charles Barkley complained angrily that his ass had long been completely biased towards the Knicks. After all, he had a pact with Jeff Van Gundy. In case he loses. He will be the one with a sanitary napkin on his forehead.

"Do you really think the Knicks will be able to pull away in the third quarter?"

"Or else? It's already seven points ahead, and after ten minutes, it's twenty-seven. ”

"Then we'll see!"

"Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

The two are arguing so fiercely, and at the same time, the game is still competing at a very fast pace. The Knicks' offensive momentum is like a wind sweeping leaves, and under Yang Mo's passing, the offense is extremely smooth, and the shooting rate is surprisingly high. And the corresponding is: The Magic were a mess with no idea what to call offense, and their offense turned into a complete single under Nelson's combing. Or a quick single.

In this case, the scores of the two teams are of course getting bigger and bigger.

The score continued to grow, but Stan Van Gundy's guess of physical exhaustion didn't happen, as Maddy was substituted after playing four minutes in the third quarter, while the rest of the players continued to rotate. In the case of the rotation of seven people, as long as Yang Mo was present, there was no loss of offensive firepower.

With two minutes left in the third quarter, the Knicks led by 21 points, which was not as scary as Barkley said, but it was still a huge hole that the Magic wanted to make up for, and it was definitely not something that could be filled in a few rounds.

Drip!

Yang Mo took the initiative to ask for a timeout, he is a person who takes it when he sees it, and he has found that his teammates have become out of breath while running for their lives. At this point, it was time for a collective break, so he called a long timeout, and if nothing else, the remaining two short timeouts would also be used collectively this time.

Back on the bench, the Knicks completely collapsed on the bench, constantly expanding their chest muscles one by one, breathing hard and panting, and breathing their tired bodies from strenuous exercise. Among these people, Yang Mo is not bad, firstly, his physical fitness is amazing, secondly, his running is indeed not as much as his teammates, he basically passes the ball as soon as he passes the half, which is equivalent to saying that he only needs to run two halves back and forth, while his teammates have to run two full courts. In this way, his work is indeed much easier, and of course, his work is also the most important part of the overall situation.

Waiting for his teammates to rest for a minute of long timeout, Yang Mo hurriedly called another short timeout, and then he squatted next to his teammates with a tactical board, and said while drawing: "The next two minutes are crucial, in addition to using these two minutes to reduce the tempo, we must also withstand the opponent's strong counterattack." We've got to keep the lead above 20 points so we're going to have a lot of advantage in the fourth quarter. Tony, can you still fight? ”

"Yes." Tony Allen nodded, he ran for almost five minutes or so in the third quarter, and his physical strength should be considered good among all the players.

"What about Larry Hughes?"

"No problem." Larry Hughes also replied that he had only run for less than three minutes, so he should be the Knicks' best physical strength.

"Anthony Randolph, don't tell me you can't, you're the youngest here." Yang Mo continued to call Randolph's name.

"I'm a little tired, but I'm still able to hold on." Anthony Randolph scratched the back of his head and replied slightly embarrassed.

"So... Who can hold out for another two minutes? Yang Mo looked around and found that almost all the rest of the people were gasping for breath, and their physical condition was quite bad.

"I'll do it." Jeffries tilted his head and took a sip of his drink and nodded vigorously: "Two minutes, I can still hold on." ”

"Are you sure?" Yang Mo looked at Jeffries with some surprise, he didn't expect Jeffries to stand up at this time, in the crazy run just now, Jeffries was the player who ran the most, and he should also be the most tired player.

"I'm sure." Jeffries gritted his teeth and said resolutely: "Since we are already twenty-one points ahead, we must not lose." ”

"Okay, you play with us." Yang Mo reached out and patted Jeffries's shoulder, although this guy's shoulder looked very thin, but at this time it was full of responsibility.

At this time, the whistle remembered that the first short timeout was over, and Yang Mo immediately beckoned and called another one.

Stan Van Gundy over there saw Yang Mo call three timeouts in a row, and he was immediately excited, he looked at his players, and said excitedly: "Boys, it's time for us to fight back." Their physical strength is gone, and in the next two minutes we have to play fast and play quickly, and we must recover at least five points, and as long as we can extend the score to within 15 points, we will be the one who wins in the fourth quarter. ”

Stan Van Gundy was thrilled, but his team didn't seem to be much more relaxed than the Knicks. Especially Dwight Howard, who ran all over the field, his beads of sweat were already pouring out of his forehead, each one the size of a soybean. And the outside core Rashad Lewis is also uncomfortable, he has been running for a long time just now.

"Nelson, you're going to pick it up, you've got to pick it up, you know? JJ, your three-point shooting percentage is hot right now, you have to shoot more. And Rassad, you're going to have to shoot more threes, your opponent can't hold it out now, and Jeffries is almost out of the game when he's off the court. And Howard, the rebounds are over to you. Stan Van Gundy hurriedly assigned specific tasks to the team.

By this time, the second short timeout had ended, the whistle blew and the game resumed.

When the timeout returned, the Knicks' five players quickly got to their feet and tried their best to suppress their fatigue, and then it was time to see the real thing. As soon as they walked onto the court, the crowd immediately erupted in the loudest applause, and there was no reason why they shouldn't love these crazy Knicks players, who valued victory more than life, and every spectator could tell they were desperate.

Drip!

After Yang Mo sent the ball to Tony Allen, he whispered the No. 4 tactic, and then quickly ran into the penalty area, he stuck Howard as soon as he entered the penalty area, and then turned his back to ask for the ball.

Yang Mo now knows better than anyone that his teammates don't have much energy to maintain the offense, and the next thing can only be up to him.

For Yang Mo's card position, although Howard tried his best to prevent it, the difference in strength still made him unable to stop Yang Mo from catching the basketball. After all, his lower body strength is really poor, and his slender calves can give him excellent explosive power and bounce power, but they can't give him the strength to rebel against the body structure.

After receiving the pass, Yang Mo did not continue to play with his back to the single, but turned around and faced Howard head-on. He also knew that it was a little more power to save now, after all, the cruel fourth quarter had not yet come.

Yang Mo held the ball and faced Howard head-on, quickly flickered, and a tentative step forward, and the realistic action instantly deceived Howard's eyeballs, causing him to take a slight half step back.

Although he only took half a step back, it was enough for Yang Mo. Yang Mo slammed the ball, his body quickly flew over, stepped out of Howard's defensive line, and then jumped into the restricted area with a sudden jump, and then jumped high and smashed the ball into the basket...... Rumble!

A skillless two-handed dunk, after the goal, Yang Mo didn't celebrate, and didn't even wait for the fans to cheer, he ran directly to the half court. Because, the Magic team has launched a fast attack!
