Chapter 622: Dreaming back to the 80s-90s
Anthony Parker, who was shaken to the ground, was undoubtedly broken and extremely frustrated at this point, and there was nothing more humiliating for a defender than to have his opponent dangled directly to the ground...... Many of the great shots in NBA history are images of great stars shaking off opponents and scoring goals with ease... Obviously, this time, the picture of Anthony Parker shaking down will also be eternally frozen in the classic shot.
"I thought you'd get up and pull me down again." Xiao Shi did not pity the loser in front of him, but poked Anthony Parker's scar again in a very, very contemptuous tone, and told Anthony Parker in a cruel way... Offending oneself is a very bad act, and it is an act that will inevitably be taught a lesson.
Xiao has already become a benchmark in the NBA when it comes to teaching defenders!!
"Xiao, you really deserve to be my idol, I like you so crazy!" Milicic yelled at Xiao Shi excitedly, and he even wanted to rush over and hit Xiao Shi in the chest, but Xiao Shi waved his hand and refused his proposal...... The person who looked crazy should be Dacomilich, not a calm and dashing face.
Although the entire Madison Garden was shouting 'kill' feverishly at this time, the excited voices were venting their infinite excitement about their swaying opponent. However, for Xiao Shao's operator, this matter is insignificant, and it is a matter of duty to clean up the defenders who offend him, and there is no need to be very excited at all.
This calm stems from a strong confidence in one's own strength.
In a sense, this is 'cool' released from the heart from the marrow!
"Xiao has the magic to drive fans crazy at any time! It's really a chore to defend sluggishly, it's hard to stop him in the first place, and once you offend him defensively, it's even more brutal revenge! Alas... Michael Jordan didn't teach defenders such a lesson back then!! Earl Johnson said with infinite emotion in the studio.
"Michael Jordan is in some ways more hateful than he is now, he has monopolized the championship for six years!! In fact, if he does not retire in the middle. He has a good chance of monopolizing the championship for eight or even nine years. Eight years! How many years was there in the golden age of players? He has almost cut off the championship dreams of all players in his age group...... Is there anyone more cruel than the number 23? Charles Barkley couldn't help but feel a little resentful when he mentioned Michael Jordan, in his opinion, the biggest regret of his career was caused by Michael Jordan, this incident was an upside-down thorn in his heart, and he couldn't suppress the sadness in his heart every time he mentioned it.
"It's good that I got the championship ring, so for Michael. I don't have any resentment. It's just a bit of a pity that some people hugged our thighs and didn't win the championship! "Kenny Smith took a rare opportunity to taunt Charles Barkley...... Barkley was under great pressure and sacrificed to join the two-time championship Rockets with a base salary, but unfortunately, he didn't have what he wanted, which can be said to be one of the few black spots in Charles Barkley's fierce career.
Hearing Smith's obvious ridicule, Charles Barkley just pouted, his expression was very painful, but in the end, he calmed down this emotional wave in his heart... After all, Smith is telling the truth, albeit with a subjective bias. But on the whole, it is still an objective fact.
Kenny Smith finally got an all-out win on the mouth cannon.
On the court, the Cavaliers he supported also began to play a smooth combination offense, and LeBron James deliberately restrained his time in possession and instead gave the ball to Delonte West.
West is not a very talented playmaker, but he is decent and can honestly distribute the ball on the tactical board...... At this moment, the Cavaliers are united and unusually united, in this situation. Naturally, you can play the attack smoothly!
As soon as the offense is smooth, the shooting rate is naturally higher.
While the Cavaliers' offensive shooting percentage is rising. The Knicks, on the other hand, got bogged down in a defensive swamp. The Cavaliers have implemented a very tough man-to-man defense against the Knicks, and this kind of defense that spares physical strength is presented in a desperate manner.
The Knicks have not yet come out of the relaxed atmosphere of Game 3, so they are suddenly trapped by this kind of defense, and the shooting percentage is rapidly declining, and the turnover rate is also rising.
In this situation. The Cavaliers gradually pulled away from the score...... By the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers had an 11-point lead. 29:18。
This is a phenomenon that has not been seen since the start of the Eastern Conference semifinals.
This made Knicks fans who came in with the mentality of witnessing a sweep a little disappointed, they didn't know what was wrong with the team, and they didn't know why the Cavaliers were suddenly so tough and strong.
Of course. This is just loss and confusion, not to the point of disappointment, after all, the Knicks are still in the chic world. Moreover, even if you lose this game, it's nothing, it's just that you can't sweep.
"Now, we have two options before us. The first option is to give up the game and we go to Cleveland to win the entire series. The second option is to go forward from now on and return the favor to the Clevelands with a tougher style of play and try to get them fishing in this game!! ”
Xiao said this to his players during the interjunctive pause.
When Xiao said this, the Knicks made a second choice, no one wanted to return to Cleveland, no one wanted to delay the problem that could be solved in four games to five games.
Moreover, what a majestic thing it is to sweep.
No one wants to lose this majesty.
Hearing the almost unanimous answer from his teammates, Xiao Chuan straightened down and said in a very serious tone: "Since everyone wants to fight for this victory, then please abandon your illusions, stop thinking about the possibility of an easy victory, and don't think that tonight's Cavaliers are still the Clevelands of Tuesday night." ”
"From now on, please be nervous, please be enthusiastic, and be prepared for hand-to-hand combat."
"Next, there is no tactic, the only tactic is to fight with the opponent! Let them know that hand-to-hand combat is close to defense, that's all we play leftovers! ”
After a little mobilization, the Knicks' morale immediately soared, and the fighting spirit was vigorous, as if they had never been sluggish before.
The Knicks now have the general temperament of an army invisibly, as long as he gives an order, he will immediately turn into an iron-blooded army, and he does not need any extra warm-up and call at all, and he is always 'called to fight, and he can win in battle'.
When the second quarter of the game began, the aura-filled Knicks restrained their previous laziness and turned to concentrate on close hand-to-hand combat.
In an instant, the two teams fell into an anxious situation, and no one could help the other. Each side focused on defense, and the offensive end was neglected.
As a result, the picture of the game became ugly and ugly. Moreover, what everyone is worried about is whether the game will lead to an all-out martial arts if it continues so hotly...... After all, the actions of both sides are a bit excessive now.
However, the three referees looked at the matter of the fight very lightly, and they firmly believed that the fight could not be started, because there was Xiao Shi, a nuclear weapon, who would dare to fight him? I'm almost tired of living! No one wants to be knocked out on the basketball court.
Therefore, the referee's control of the scale is very relaxed, and many fouls that can be blown or not blown have chosen to be ignored.
For such a high-intensity defensive duel between the two sides.
"Now these two teams are doing something completely contrary to what I think of the game, and they're focusing more on how to stop the opponent from putting the basketball in the basket than throwing the basketball into the basket. The game was so ugly that I don't think the two sides could score more than 25 points in the second quarter. Earl Johnson has a lot of words about the match, and as a commentator, it's really hard for him to find flowery words to explain such a match, after all, he is not a professional boxing sports commentator.
However, Charles Barkley was very touched by this kind of defense: "The league has finally regained a touch of the atmosphere of the eighties and nineties, I like this kind of iron-blooded defense, and in my opinion this is the real meaning of basketball, after all, basketball is a men's sport." Only players who can still score high scores in such situations can be called superstars. Back then, I... Michael Jordan came out of such an environment. ”
Basically, Kenny Smith belongs to the kind of personality that Charles Barkley supports and I will oppose anything, but this time, he actually stood on Barkley's side: "Yes, the league has made a lot of restrictions on confrontation for the sake of spectacle, this league is more and more inclined to offense, super scorers can easily get body hair level fouls, which will make the score of each game higher, the picture is better, but actually... I think it's getting boring and boring. It doesn't show the true limits of basketball, and tonight's game showed me the trend, which I think is good!! ”
Kenny Smith and Barkley as professionals they both said okay, what else can Earl Johnson say?
However, the audience in front of the TV thought that the game was extremely bad...... There are simply no highlights to speak of, and you may not score points for several rounds, what's the point?
Of course, the Knicks fans on the scene were quite nervous, they were afraid that such a high-intensity confrontation would lead to injuries to the players, after all, everyone now knows that there is a problem with the rotation of Knicks personnel, and if one of them is injured, it may be a disaster. And if Xiao is injured, it will be a disaster for the Knicks.
No one wants to bear such a result, so their hearts have been tightly pinched, and their eyes are fixed on the court, for fear of a little accident!
