Chapter 145: Forward Knicks
Hibbert obviously didn't expect the other party to eat the pie that fell from the sky, and he was depressed in his heart.
The steady Knicks found an opportunity on the outside because of this ball, Novak tried to make a three-pointer in the bottom corner, and the basketball flew to the opponent's hoop with arc and cold light like a fast-flying sword.
The Pacers head coach gritted his teeth and jumped up and down.
It may have been his prayers that played a role, and Novak's three-pointer popped up.
Even so, all the Pacers players still broke out in a cold sweat, this is the time when chasing points is important, and they must make sure to chase within 10 points or even less before the end of the third quarter, otherwise their main scoring tactics will be completely meaningless, and the fourth quarter will fall into passivity due to physical loss.
The Pacers chased the distraction, eager to end each offense in the shortest time, the Knicks were cunning and scoundrels, and resolutely did not shoot every time they did not hit the last few seconds of each offense, and the third quarter went to the last second in the competition between the two sides.
The big red text on the big scoreboard displays: 88:80.
Obviously, Wang Xiaomu, who looked proud, took the lead. "Well done, guys!" He stood on the sidelines and raised his arms high and high-fived the players.
Compared with the Knicks' happiness, Frank Walker had to comfort his players one by one, "It's okay, this point will be back in a while." ”
At the beginning of the fourth quarter of the game, Wang Xiaomu released the starting five tigers who had been holding back for a long time from the cage, and the Pacers did not dare to be careless, and the four tired starters responded passively.
The Knicks, who were on the back burner, played their trademark offense, and Chandler's back-to-back dunks inside boosted the team's morale in a 21-6 offensive wave. Anthony was the best performer. Whether it's a clever assist or a brilliant breakthrough, it can be all successful.
saw his main players listlessly walking on the field. Frank Walker was furious and brought on a full bench.
The nearly 30-point deficit should have sent the game into garbage time, but the Pacers' bench players didn't give up, and a series of ferocious offensive waves allowed them to tear apart the Knicks' defense. George Hill, who came off the bench, showed toughness, hitting a three-pointer and then hitting a basket to make a 2+1.
Chandler rolled his eyes in anger when he moved his arm a little wider, and was judged to have committed a foul.
Not to mention, the Pacers' bench is excited. Taylor Hansblu, Dundee Jones, and AJ Price were outstanding, trotting with the Pacers and closing the score.
Although the defense was opened, the Knicks' offensive did not stop. Wang Xiaomu really replaced all his defensive giants, and there were a bunch of guys on the field who were willing to brush up on the data.
The high shooting percentages of players on both sides made the fans at Madison Square Garden entertained.
"It seems that there is no suspense in the game. Although the Pacers maintained their determination to chase the score, the Knicks' ferocious firepower kept the Pacers from looking up. It seems that the difficulty of the regular season has not been able to stop Coach Wang Xiaomu's winning streak, and he even sent a completely undefended formation. The TV announcer commented.
With Josh Harrelson and Jeremy Lin hitting three-pointers in quick succession, the Knicks pulled the deficit back to 19 points with one minute to go, and the game was out of suspense.
At the end of this game, the Pacers' record changed to 25-17. Tomorrow. The two teams will continue to play back-to-back at the Pacers' home court.
Wang Xiaomu shook hands with Frank Walker with a smile.
Frank Walker forced out a wry laugh, "Congratulations on finishing second in the league's winning streak." ”
"Thank you for your congratulations. Your players are also playing great. Looking forward to tomorrow's game. Wang Xiaomu responded very officially.
At the end of this game, the Knicks chased the 22-game winning streak of the Rockets in 08 and continued their undefeated myth.
After the game, the fans at Madison Square lingered for a long time, cheering and dancing around the players' buses as if they had won the championship.
"It's a wonderful feeling, the Knicks haven't brought so much joy to the fans for a long time, thank you to the Knicks, thank you to Coach Wang Xiaomu." Off-site reporters were also infected by the atmosphere outside the venue in the face of the live broadcast camera.
Due to the excitement of the fans, Wang Xiaomu had to come out on behalf of the team to calm the emotions of the fans.
Seeing Wang Xiaomu coming out of the bus, the fans cheered and chanted Wang Xiaomu's name together.
"Thank you, thank you." Wang Xiaomu took the megaphone on the side and said excitedly, "The Knicks have always been a great team, and our fans are the greatest fans in the world, thank you very much for accompanying me and accompanying the Knicks through this period of time, we have experienced setbacks and pain in the past, but today we proved our strength with a large wave of consecutive wins." Believe me, the victory will continue, and we need your cheering and encouragement even more! Go ahead, Knicks! ”
"Onward! Nix! A group of fans outside the bus were ignited by Wang Xiaomu's passion, and the whole square fell into a sea of cheers.
In the bus, the Knicks are also enjoying this wonderful feeling.
"Cameron, that's what victory tastes like, doesn't it?" Jeremy Lin asked loudly against Anthony's ear.
"yes, I didn't expect the fans in New York to be so crazy, and 22 consecutive wins are like winning a championship, and the atmosphere is fantastic." As a superstar, Anthony also felt the fans' desire for victory and hope for the team for the first time. At this moment, he was really impulsive, for the sake of victory, for the sake of the Knicks, to fight.
It was definitely an unforgettable night for the Knicks who were staring out through the glass of the bus.
For Wang Xiaomu, this night was also more difficult.
First of all, he has to settle the petite babies in the family.
The lively living room is full of people this time, oh, the ghosts are all here.
After introducing each other, Gao Yuanyuan and Emily's view of the world was completely subverted. They had just accepted the reality that there were cultivators in this world. Now I have to accept the existence of a ghost next to me.
"You can't call it a ghost, it's unscientific, it's called an energy body." Wang Xiaomu bared his teeth and pondered a new word.
"Hmph, it's really a little different from ordinary ghosts, and it can actually incarnate into a physical existence." Jin Yuchen is obviously not very interested in Lin Yuer, but at this time, it is the time to rely on Wang Xiaomu, and it should not be excessive.
"Ahem, that's right, seek common ground while reserving differences. Now let's discuss how to divide the work and achieve our goal of winning the championship. Wang Xiaomu hurriedly gathered the big guy's thoughts. (To be continued......)
