Chapter 268: No Goal

In the second half, Zhang Yu feinted to break through for the first time, attracting the attention of the Cavaliers' defense and immediately handed the ball to Crawford, allowing the best sixth man to try his touch.

Crawford catches the ball and singles Mo. Williams, the Cavaliers want to wrap up the Knicks' No. 2 scoring point, but they can't distinguish excess troops to take into account Zhang Yu's players, and the Knicks' No. 1 scoring point has involved all of the Cavaliers' encapsulation forces.

Mo. Williams defended the opponent to break through, and one did not pay attention, Crawford jumped to dodge the shooting space and quickly shot......

"Bang!" Basketball misses.

Wallace and Zhang Yu both rushed to the basket, the frontcourt rebound was the key to their victory, the first half of the lead, relying on their ability to pick up bullets and reload, the second offense allowed them to score almost ten points more in the first half, just the same score as their lead.

James and Wallace grabbed a piece, neither of them could win the rebound, the basketball was dialed above the free throw line, Zhang Yu jumped back hard, and won the basketball with his long arms, which suddenly made the players and fans of the entire Cavaliers choke nauseously!

Zhang Yu was not in a hurry to play when he got the basketball, he retreated to the outside organization, the Knicks players ran again, and the Cavaliers' defense just now was in vain.

Wallace ran out of space on the wing, Zhang Yuren arrived, the former received the ball and forced it inside, and immediately faced the gorilla, Wallace used a running shot to throw the basketball in the box......

James jumped up to block, the ball was thrown high by Wallace, James couldn't fly into the sky no matter how well he bounced, and the basketball bounced off the rebound and bounced into the frame!

The score is 56:44. Wallace's throw stretched the score to 12 points.

The Cavaliers attacked, and James also wanted to share the ball with his teammates first, just like Zhang Yu. Let your teammates try their hand at it. However, the Gorilla gave up on the idea of falling behind in the first few quarters, and the team had nothing left for them to continue to splurge except for the idea of trailing by 20 points in the third quarter.

The little emperor decided to come by himself, fell to a low position to get the basketball, and then didn't even bother to do the feints, and turned around and killed under the basket. Doing his old job again.

After three games, no matter how bad the Knicks' defense is, there are some ways to deal with it, not to mention that James's brute force was restrained in the second game. Kenyon. Martin and David Lee interfered with the ball together under the basket, and the gorilla didn't score on his own.

"You can't fight like that."

James forced a layup and missed, fell to the floor and immediately came to his senses, and the gorilla was just carried away by the frustration caused by trailing by 12 points. This is not the time to be impulsive. If you lose your cool, you're really going to trail by 20 points in the third quarter.

The Knicks grabbed the rebound and immediately counterattacked, Zhang Yu dribbled and rushed, he didn't plan to give the Cavaliers hope, if this offense can score, losing consecutive points will make the Cavaliers players completely collapse, the so-called critical moment refers to this time.

West followed the defense closely, Zhang Yu dribbled behind his back and made a quick stop to shake off the opponent, and then changed direction and accelerated again. After coming and going, he shook off the melancholy man.

The Cavaliers' retreat this time is not timely, counting West. Only Mo. Even if Williams retreated alone, the Knicks on the other side had three fast breaks, and three to two in the frontcourt.

Zhang Yu shook off West without passing, and went directly to the basket, grabbed the basketball with his big hand and threw it to the side before attacking the basket, and made a passing feint to fool Mo. Williams, then dodged the opponent and jumped directly to dunk, and scored two points with a one-handed slam dunk.

Mo. Williams didn't dare to reach out under the basket, worried that if he touched Zhang Yu, it would be two plus one, and two defense and three in the case of Mo. Williams knew they couldn't stop the attack.

The score was 58:44, James put his hands on his hips in the other half, and Mike James. Brown faced a near-erosion situation and had to call a timeout at the start of the second half.

Now the team has one foot on the edge of the cliff, and the other foot could step over at any moment. Bread called this timeout is not necessarily a tactical set-up, and there is actually nothing McBrown himself can do, this timeout is more about letting the players and himself calm down, and only after calming down can a solution be found.

New York fans weren't going to calm them down, with deafening cheers and cacophony of stadium sounds, coupled with Spike. Lee made noise from the side of the visiting bench, sang his rock music that was completely out of tune, and did his best to influence the Cavaliers' tactics and act as a spy for the Knicks.

"Well done bunny, launch our best fast attack when you have the opportunity, and ensure that you don't make mistakes if you don't have the opportunity, how to do it is up to you to act when you see the opportunity."

D'Antoni was in a good mood at the moment and was very satisfied with Zhang Yu's performance in the second half. In particular, Zhang Yu's ability to interpret the game at the moment has improved rapidly, the progress of the playoffs for the players is all-round, and the baptism of the playoffs can make the players have reborn changes, especially the greater the potential of the player, the more obvious the progress, Zhang Yu is undoubtedly one of the best, he is now qualified to be called a superstar, and he used to be a big brush at most.

After the timeout, LeBron . James has calmed down, but his teammates are not as mentally good as him, and the Cavaliers' players are demoralized and depressed.

The Gorilla on the offensive end managed to attract a double bag and pass out the basketball Mo. Williams didn't make the catch, Crawford took the opportunity to break the ball, and the two fought for it, and the referee finally awarded the scrum.

The New York crowd cheered as the height difference between the two men was noticeable, and Crawford didn't bounce off the ball, and the scrum meant they almost snatched the ball back and defended successfully.

The morale of the Cavaliers is lower, Mo. Williams really couldn't beat Crawford, and Wallace got the basketball.

James wanted to break the ball to make up for the offense, but the little emperor was still impatient, and the steal did not break the basketball but received a foul, and the referee did not favor the gorillas in "Madison Square Garden", and the penalty was not soft at all.

The league has no special orders for the Knicks and Cavaliers, and unless the two teams have a huge disparity in score and one of them has a tendency to be swept, the referees can simply lean slightly in favor of the home team. Today is the home court of the Knicks, and the referee's decision is appropriately biased in favor of the Knicks. Ambiguous penalties are more in the Knicks' favor.

Zhang Yu dribbled forward, and his dribbling ranked 8th in the 2008-2009 season dribbling best player survey held by Sports Illustrated. The vote was attended by 300 active players in the league. He got 3% of the votes, and Nash remained in first place, followed by Chris. Paul, the third is Alstom.

Among them, West voted for Zhang Yu, the red rabbit has already left a psychological shadow in his heart, if the most difficult player in the league is selected, the melancholy man is estimated to vote for Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu broke through in the direction of James. Attract the Gorilla to the bag and quickly pass to Kenyon. Martin, who drew a layup for a foul on Vallejo and the Knicks made two more free throws.

Kenyon. Martin made one of two free throws. The Knicks lead the Cavaliers by 15 points.

Charles. Barkley said after the Knicks stretched the deficit to 15 points: "Even though there are almost two quarters to go, I would say that this season the Knicks have led by 15 points 33 times, and they have won 31 of those games. This number jΓΉ can say a lot. The Knicks are the least beaten team after taking the lead. They have a core with a strong sense of crisis, the rabbit will not let the 'comeback' turn over his head, and the red rabbit will continue to widen the difference as much as possible until the opponent gives up the game. ”

Zhang Yu did exactly that, and by the end of the third quarter, the Knicks had stretched the margin to 18 points.

LeBron. James scored nine points in a single quarter, but that was far from enough to turn the game around, and the Cavaliers scored only 20 points in the third quarter. Such a performance makes the most optimistic Cavaliers fans not think that their team still has any hope of turning the tables.

At the end of the third quarter, the score was 82:64. The Knicks lead the Cavaliers by 18 points.

Zhang Yu turned his count into 21 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals after the third quarter, which is another all-round number.

In the fourth quarter, Zhang Yu and James were not replaced by both coaches, and the Knicks' bench ended the Cavaliers in the opening three minutes of the final quarter, and the score was quickly stretched to 22 points.

Mike. Seeing this point difference, Brown had to give up the game and did not let LeBron. James is back on the court.

This is the fastest game between the two teams in four games, but it also fits the Knicks' style of play.

If the Cavaliers want to win the game, they usually have to play until the last moment, which is related to their weak offense and strong defense, it is difficult for them to rely on a wave to solve the Knicks with outstanding offensive power, and the two games won are tied to the score, James solves the opponent at the critical moment, and the final score is very close to the two teams.

The Knicks are the opposite, they can play an attacking wave and take the Cavaliers in a short period of time, and the two games that the Knicks have won are very different, and they have won by big scores.

In garbage time of the game, the Knicks benches were instead expanding the score. Brown couldn't get off the stage, and almost wanted to send the main force to stop the ever-expanding score.

At the end of the game, with a score of 110-80, the Knicks defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers by a huge margin of 30 points, which also created the largest point difference of any team in this year's playoffs.

At the post-game press conference, Zhang Yu said excitedly to reporters: "We are full of confidence now, we may face a severe test in the next game in Cleveland, but we have found confidence in this game and found a way to win, and the 30-point difference means that we have the ability to enter the Eastern Conference Finals." ”

A domestic reporter asked Zhang Yu: "First of all, congratulations on your victory, I want to know what the Knicks' goal is before the start of the playoffs?" ”

Zhang Yu thought about it for a while, and this time he was honest again, and replied honestly: "This is our return to the playoffs after five years, after a bad performance last season, even if the team's regular season record is excellent, we are still a little unconfident before the playoffs begin." The 4-1 win over Miami in the first round gave us confidence that we had achieved our goal. Now that we're 2-2 with the league's No. 1 record, we've completely let go of our baggage, and the pressure can't stop us anymore at this moment, and the Knicks have no goal now, they will just go all out and win every game.
