Chapter 346: The Surprising Milichyc
The two teams are in a state of scorching scorching, which is definitely extremely bad news for Stan Van Gundy, because so far, the Knicks' ace has not yet been in full swing.
When the ace has not yet been wielded, the strength of MiliΕ‘iΔ, Garlina, Nis, Stephen and Marbury alone can match the picture of themselves, which is obviously beyond the Magic's estimates.
"It's time for the Magic to have a headache, and now that the Knicks have gradually played near-perfect chemistry, they don't look like a playoff buddy at all. Even, they have begun to build up an active offensive. T-NT's host said this during the second quarter of the game's commercial pause.
'Gallinani was fantastic, Milicic was fantastic, and Stephen Marbury, he's finally showing his value as a veteran. Before the game, no one would have thought that the three of them would be the ones who saved the Knicks from the quagmire. After all, Gallinani is just a rookie in Europe who has been criticized for not being worthy of a high order, Milicic has always been synonymous with parallel imports, and Stephen Marbury has long since become a disgrace of New York from the son of New York. And now, they have completed their self-redemption, in fact, their redemption has been going on, and in the regular season, they have shown that they are good enough. And all the good finally exploded in the playoffs, and I believe that from this moment on, Knicks fans should give them some new positive reviews! Charles Barkley said.
"Magic. The team should find a way to break the deadlock, and if it continues like this, it will be difficult for them not to collapse in the fourth quarter! Kenny Smith whispered as well. Although he doesn't like chic very much. But one thing he had to admit was. When the game goes into the fourth quarter. Xiao Sao will definitely step up and finish the game...... It's already on his repertoire.
By the time the trio was commentating, the commercial pause had ended, and the Magic called another timeout.
Now Stan Van Gundy is in a dilemma, and his players have asked him the same question over and over again: Coach, are we sure we want to continue to score with the rest of the Knicks?
This is a difficult multiple-choice question.
Stan Van Gundy was distressed, he needed time, so he called another long timeout.
Now in front of him the real problem, the bag is bound to lose the defense against other Knicks players. And the Knicks' other players have gradually opened up. But if he gives up on the slick 360-degree all-weather defense, he is likely to be resurrected. Let Xiao Shi enter the scoring state, and do not hesitate to open the cage of hell and release the two-headed demon dog that kills people and cannot be ferocious.
Stan Van Gundy hesitated for a long time, and after much confirmation with the coaching staff, he said to Petrus very cautiously: "Listen, Michael, you have to make sure that your feet don't leave your body half a meter at any second. β
"Okay." Petrus nodded firmly, he felt he could do it.
After Petrus nodded, Stan Van Gundy turned around and continued to arrange tactics: "Gortat." You and Dwight form the Twin Towers on the inside, and you must not let Milicic on the inside continue to take what he wants. And can't let the Knicks get any frontcourt rebounds. Rashad, Garinani will be handed over to you. And Nelson, if you can't even limit the aging Stephen Marbury, your starting position will be re-evaluated for the next game. β
"Listen, guys, we're going to have to pull up the gap in the second quarter. Otherwise, when we get into the third and fourth quarters, we will fall into complete passivity. Come on, fight!! For our glory!! β
Stan Van Gundy shouted loudly, using his most desperate voice to boost the morale of the players.
At Stan Van Gundy's mobilization, the Magic players let out a roar in unison. Obviously, this game is very important to them, and the pressure on them is no less than that of the Knicks. As a gifted student before the regular season, it was publicly believed by the basketball media that he would lose the first round, which is undoubtedly the loudest disdain. No one is indifferent to disdain, and the Magic team is certainly no exception, and they want to prove it to the world...... The Knicks aren't that scary, and the Magic have more strength to make it to the second round of the playoffs or even further.
The Magic team is full of mourning momentum, but the Knicks are lightly loaded, and the timeout time is sloppy without any tactics, talking and laughing on the bench, and after a happy break from the timeout, he led the original team to play the game immediately.
When the game resumed, the Magic immediately launched a strong offensive offensive. However, the feel does not transfer because of their strong will, and the feel is a very mysterious thing. So even though Rashad Lewis worked hard and was lucky enough to run out of space and get a well-timed pass from Nelson, he still didn't throw that damn three-pointer into it.
Back in the half, his defensive Gallinani hit a long-range three-pointer under his overwhelming cover.
The world is really unfair sometimes, Rashad Lewis is like listening to 147 with 2580000 but not winning, and Garinnani is just a card and 2 cylinders but even a BMW.
Is God fair?
Sometimes it's unfair.
Rashad Lewis was speechless, but Stan Van Gundy on the sidelines was helpless.
Xiao but happy, he walked over, rubbed Garinani's hair again, and complimented him: "Well done, you're going to be our MVP soon." β
In the face of the chic praise and touch, Garinani was very shy and flattered at the same time, but more moved by the death of a confidant, he vowed to make persistent efforts and score a few more goals in the future.
Gallinani's flattery is undoubtedly a huge stimulus for Milicic on the sidelines, who was already secretly competing with Gallinani, and now Gallinani has won a point again in the eyes of his idol, how can he not be red-eyed?
So, he secretly swore in his heart that he must show it fiercely next, and he had to let Xiao Sao touch his head.
At this time, Milicic already had an obsession in his heart. It was as if he couldn't sleep peacefully without receiving a chic 'blessing from touching his head'.
Milicic's obsession soon turned into Gortat's troubles. At this time, the Magic team sacrificed the twin towers tactic. Stan Van Gundy wanted to use the height of the interior to suppress Milicic. But it was clear that he didn't get the results he had hoped for, and Milicic flickered around the box with all kinds of aggressive scrambles, defending the dignity of the box for the Knicks, and did not fall behind.
Bang!
Magic shooter Rashad Lewis, who seemed to be crushed by the tremendous pressure, missed the shot again in the open space...... He's on the verge of doubting his life, how can I miss such a simple ball?
Lewis was doubting his life, and then the game was still going on and shooting was just the beginning. The battle for rebounds is the most critical battleground.
When the basketball was iron, Gortat and Howard seemed to have telepathy, as if they expected the ball to go in, and they squeezed into the box with Milicic on the left and right. Obviously, they are going to get this rebound.
Milicic is undoubtedly a little weak between these two people, after all, one is tall, the other can jump, he is a European center forward, even if he is a former genius. But his rebounds have never been highly praised...... In everyone's impression, he has never been a rebounding powerhouse.
In fact. When Howard and Gortat rushed to the restricted area at the same time, both the Knicks and Knicks players were ready to defend...... They had little faith in Milicic.
But a miracle happened at this desperate moment.
As the basketball bounced off the inside of the basket, Milicic leaped high and grabbed the rebound before the two strongmen, one on the left and one on the right.
This scene surprised Xiao Shao, and Xiao Xiao couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.
What made Xiao even more shocking was that when Milicic grabbed the rebound first, he actually jumped up again, and beat Howard to slap the basketball out hard in the second jump...... And shout: rebound!!
Milicic's shout immediately sent Xiao Xiao flying over as if reflexively, grabbing the basketball in front of Petrus...... At this time, Petrus, who had been following Xiao Xiao, still hadn't reacted, he didn't expect Milicic to actually pick up the rebound under Gortat and Howard, it was incredible.
Xiao Sao also found it incredible, but he quickly accepted the fact and passed the basketball to Stephen Marbury to let him control the ball.
He stretched out his arm and walked towards Milicic: "Well done, man! This rebound completely refreshed my memory of you! β
In the face of Chic's compliment, Milicic had a happy smile on his face, looking at Chick's outstretched right hand, he looked satisfied and arrogant, and at the same time lowered his head, he hoped to be blessed by Chic's touch.
However, in the end, the palm slapped on his buttocks: "Come on!" Buddy! β
Xiao Shi left these words, strode back and attacked.
Milicic froze in place...... How so? How so? Didn't you say it's okay to touch your hair? How did it become a slap in the ass?? It's not fair! It's not fair!! No, I'm going to have to let him touch my hair tonight!!
Milicic gritted his teeth and took a determined step again, and he was completely competitive with 'Touch the Head' tonight.
"Milicic has been completely reborn since he was traded to the Knicks, and he looks like he's been reborn. I think he can take off the name of the parallel goods on his head. Although he is still a little short of the superstars of his class, at least he has proven that he has the potential to become a first-class center forward! If he continues to grow like this, I think he has a chance to be an All-Star!! The host of ESPN couldn't help but exclaim after seeing Milicic's wonderful rebound.
"Yes! Milicic's talent is still in his bones, and if he hadn't been delayed for so many years, maybe he would have been an All-Star starting center a long time ago. It's a shame that it would have been nice if the team that drafted him hadn't been the Pistons! Jeff Van Gundy couldn't help but sigh that he had always supported Milicic.
"There are no ifs in life, but fortunately, he has now encountered a depression that can stimulate his potential. His contract expires at the end of this season, and I think there will be a lot of teams that will give him tens of millions of annual salary contracts in the offseason, after all, in this era of scarcity of centers, he has already shown that he is good enough! β
