Chapter 167: Piston (Part II)

With a large lead, the Knicks looked unusually easy in the second half.

The Pistons have basically given up struggling and resisting, looking grateful for surrendering their guns and not killing. But there was one person who was different, and that was Ben Gordon, who played bravely.

As a 2004 Tanhua, Gordon actually has his pride. The most dazzling SG of the Bulls that year, playing the sixth man, ranked among the best in the league in scoring efficiency in the fourth quarter, his hands were hot, he couldn't defend at all, and he scored 21.4 points in the third grade, which is a fight with the peak general. Even the people in the rivers and lakes said: "Look at Xinrich in good times, and look at Gordon in desperate times".

A big contract of 5 years and 55 million made Ben Gordon worse and worse.

But in the last game, Gordon turned around and almost regained the rhythm of that terrifying rattlesnake, shooting 9-of-9 from three-point range, and being that again: "When he catches the ball, you feel a horror in your heart." ”

In response to Gordon's crazy performance in the game, the Knicks' coaching team still did a lot of work. The first is to select a capable player to defend Ben Gordon, Paul George is close to the defense, in Wang Xiaomu's slightly disgusting words: "For 48 minutes on the field, you have to defend him face to face when he urinates on the spot!" ”

It may be that the Knicks' pressing has had an effect, Gordon felt cold in the first half, and it is estimated that he can save a refrigerator by buying cold drinks.

But Gordon still had a fiery heart. At the beginning of the second half, he hit two three-pointers in front of George in a row, instantly chasing the score to 14 points.

At this time, the Pistons saw that there was a play, and all the generals participated in the dividends.

After Greg Monroe hit a layup, Brandon Knight hit another three-pointer. The margin narrowed to 9 points. At critical moments, Anthony showed his leadership style. He first made a free throw from the foul line, and then assisted Novak to shoot a three-pointer from the outside.

At this time, although the Bucks' timeout won the heart of Uncle Reasonable here, it was obviously unable to stop the Pacers' offensive, and Anthony was definitely a god at the moment. led the Knicks to another eight straight points.

Douglas, who came off the bench for Jeremy Lin, also got a chance and hit a layup.

At this time, Paul George, who has been in charge of defense, is not willing to be lonely, and if he goes back to the responsibility, George, who is in charge of guarding Ben Gordon, obviously fails to do his duty. George, who was a little angry, raised his hand from the outside and hit a three-point shot, and the difference widened to 17 points.

Wang Xiaomu is more satisfied with the team's counterattack, and the opponent has a 45+8 big card in his hand (the data of Gordon on the court), which can not let them magnify their moves. It seems as if Comrade Gordon once beat the Knicks when he was with the Bulls. But now things are not people. The Knicks often play the background of being killed, so everyone doesn't know much about this sadness.

Suppressing the Pistons' counterattack, Anthony continued to take over the game, hitting two free throws and hitting another three-pointer.

Even though the team was beaten into a sieve, Ben Gordon himself didn't give up, and after scoring four points from outside the field, he assisted Jonas Jerebko, who came off the bench, to hit a long-range three-pointer at the end of the third quarter. Helped the Pistons chase the score to 76-92.

In the fourth quarter, Ben Gordon ran out of energy to try again. Jeremy Lin led a group of benches to continue to bombard the opponent's basket and constantly make foul free throws. Although the Pistons are also struggling to catch up. But they couldn't defend against the Knicks' fickle offensive routines.

"The Pistons are hanging in this game, and it is absolutely impossible for Ben Gordon to think about 9 of 9 shots." Yang Yiyi commented objectively.

The reasonable uncle, who has been suppressed in the commentary seat in this game, doesn't know where the evil is at the moment, and he suddenly threw out a sentence: "Some players are just lucky, Yi Jianlian once shot 12 shots and 12 hits." ”

These words gave Yang Yiyi around him one by one to Lei De Jiao and Nei Nen, is this a compliment or sarcasm, Lao Tzu will take it or not?

Of course, Yi Jianlian, who is lying on the gun at the moment, is fighting the Mavericks against the Rockets. As the Texas duo, they have to fight for a place in addition to being good at eating grilled chicken.

With 5:40 left in the game, Oden hit a hook shot to make it 111-88, and the Pistons lost hope.

After the timeout, both sides switched to a full bench matchup. After a period of back and forth, in the last 8 seconds, a mid-range shot from Jordan, who rarely plays, fixed the score at 104-125. The melon in the third quarter and the Jeremy Lin raid in the fourth quarter dazzled the home team's fans, who enjoyed a visual feast.

After the Knicks won again, the club that has always been slamming the door also held a small celebration dinner!

27 wins, six games away from the all-league record. The opponents in these six games were the Bucks, the Magic, the Bulls, the Hawks, the Trail Blazers, and two Pacers. It just so happens that this is all their March events, and if the Knicks can pull off a miracle, then a new record could be set every day in the NBA throughout April.

Such a high-profile achievement made the always critical media in the United States finally change their original intention of questioning and began to sing praises to Wang Xiaomu!

The Washington Post and Sports Illustrated in New York planned a special issue about Wang Xiaomu under the headline "Idol from the East."

They even commissioned a well-known market research company to conduct a large-scale public opinion survey in China, and the data showed that among the more than 10 million Chinese who participated in the survey, 53% of the participants believed that the crazy Li was already a well-deserved sports icon, and the remaining 20% and 15% chose the basketball giant Yao Ming and Li Na, the first to lift the singles championship trophy of a Grand Slam event. For example, an interviewee said: "My girlfriend said that she had found a job in Japan and told me to work hard in China and not to watch AV if I have nothing to do." ”

Even ESPN, which has always been at odds with the New York Knicks, has had to support Wang Xiaomu many times on its official website: he is a headache opponent, and the emergence of Eastern teams is difficult......

And with the praise from all over the world, the New York Knicks' record in the regular season is like inserting the Chinese specialty Diamond Monkey, and continue to play a triumphant song!

After the battle with the Raptors, the Knicks ushered in a short 2-day break. Wang Xiaomu, who has been praised recently, is a little fluttering, and after accepting a fart from the players, he happily decided to take a day off!

This irresponsible approach is, of course, supported by all the players. Only the responsible assistant head coach was left in tears. However, Wang Xiaomu will never be soft-hearted and will never regret it, because he has been coveting the open-air hot spring that Emily said for a long time.
