Chapter 625: Fate is a cycle
Bang!
Bang!
LeBron James missed two free throws, and the high-intensity physical confrontation made his muscles stiff and tense, and it was difficult to gently pull the basketball out.
The rebound was protected by Tyson Chandler without suspense, and then passed to Xiao Sa, who did not launch another fast break, but handed the basketball to Raymond Felton and let him slowly control the rhythm and dribble the ball through the half.
When Raymond Felton advanced with the ball, Mo Williams was very aggressive in pressing ...... Full-court pressing was a continuation of the pattern throughout the second quarter.
Raymond Felton did not have any discomfort under this kind of pressure, and still walked around, as one of the three point guards in the 05th edition, although he did not break into the NBA as famous as Deron Williams and Chris Paul, but there is no vanity under the fame, and there must be two brushes. Raymond Feldton's two brushes are his physical confrontation and his consistency on the ball.
Pressing at this level of Mo Williams was not too easy for him, and he came to the front court like a leisurely stroll. Then handed the ball to Xiao Xiao, who relied on Anthony Parker to ask for the ball, Xiao Xiao did not seem to have exaggerated muscle lines, or even too obvious, but the power exuded from his body was Anthony Parker's distress, and he even thought that Xiao Xiao's power was stronger than LeBron James.
More than once, he was puzzled and felt that all this was too unscientific.
Xiao Sao is also self-aware, and he also feels unscientific, but he chooses to accept it calmly...... After all, it was a benefit that he had only gained after being raped by Megan Fox - and he felt that he had paid enough price.
After receiving the ball, Xiao quickly launched a single and forced a breakthrough into the penalty area. Draw the bag and then pass Tyson Chandler...... Tyson Chandler struck high under the entanglement of J.J. Hickson. Hard-topped and threw the basketball out...... Swish!
Basketball arrested!
No way. This is pure height suppression, JJ Hickson has tried his best, his defense is very good, but height is an objective fact that cannot be changed.
In the blink of an eye, the Knicks were only two points behind, and it looked like it was a complete effortless...... The process of recovering the score was so easy.
Yibian fought again, and the Cavaliers still relied on LeBron James' personal breakthrough with rhythm, and LeBron James was indeed strong. But he was alone, his basketball couldn't reach his teammates, he had to go hard!
So, he could only rush into the box with his head down, and after intense physical contact with Jeffries, scored a layup.
The referee blew the penalty very lenient tonight, and basically rarely blew the whistle, giving the players on both sides the opportunity to fight physically.
This time, LeBron James scored two points, but the Knicks were not in a hurry. Xiao Sage wants to watch LeBron James continue like this now, and the more points he scores, the better...... LeBron James is gifted and physical. But he is flesh and blood after all, and he will have moments of exhaustion.
And the most important fact is that LeBron James can't be as powerful as Xiao when he is tired.
The game began in the third quarter with a Knicks' pace, starting with a surprise three-pointer from Nate Robinson and then working its way up.
The Cavaliers didn't expect the Knicks to start rejuvenating in the third quarter, and what they didn't expect was that the Knicks actually had a physical advantage, Raymond Felton and Tyson Chandler began to make amazing moves constantly, and Xiao Dash was always strong.
In contrast, the Cavaliers are left with LeBron James alone on the offensive end, and on the defensive end, although they are still doing hand-to-hand combat like hard work, but... The effect is no longer good, they have gradually been unable to defend the Knicks other than Xiao Xiao, including Raymond Felton and Tyson Chandler, and then these players have gradually started to play together, and it is even more difficult to defend!!
Throughout the third quarter, the Cavaliers made three changes to the lineup, but the three changes did not achieve the results they wanted, let alone reverse the entire decline.
At the last minute, Mike Brown finally realized something...... That is, the second quarter did not force the Knicks' real physical limit, the Knicks still have spare energy, and their players in key positions still maintain their physical strength.
The Cavaliers, on the other hand, were too optimistic and believed that the Knicks were exhausted, so this led to the reversal of the third quarter.
Mike Brown finally got it, but... Too late!!
Soon, the third quarter ended.
The Knicks went from trailing by nine points to leading by four points.
In the third quarter, the Knicks recovered 13 points.
With such a defensive rhythm, the Knicks' offense can be described as wonderful.
"The Knicks played a textbook offense, and at the same time they did a pretty good job on the defensive end, limiting the Cavaliers to 13 points, of which eight of these thirteen points were scored by LeBron James alone, look at the exhausted LeBron James, what is left for the Cavaliers to fight with the Knicks in the fourth quarter? I think... Perhaps, tonight will be the end of this series. Regular season winner of the 2009-2010 season! That's the end of the playoffs!! Earl Johnson was already writing a memorial for the Cavaliers at the end of the third quarter.
"It's not that the Cavaliers aren't good enough, it's just that they're not as good as the Knicks! I have to admit that if the Cavaliers had used the same defense against the Knicks in the second quarter of Game 1, I don't think the Knicks had much hope of winning this series, and they didn't. So... Their playoff journey is coming to an end. Charles Barkley also began to close the coffin.
"Hey, hey, two, I don't think you guys should forget one thing, and that's that the Knicks are only leading by four points so far, and their physical strength has reached a critical point. And the Cavaliers have more people who can play on this side, and I think... It's ridiculous and arbitrary to say who will win the final victory!! Kenny Smith said loudly and vigorously. The louder he spoke at the moment. The more panicked I became!!
This panic cannot be concealed.
Because if the Knicks knock out the Cavaliers tonight. Then the opponent they will face next is likely to be the Magic, at this time on the other side of the battlefield, the Magic team has a 35-point lead, and the full-fledged Dwight Howard got 18 points, 15 rebounds and 5 blocks in the half, which exploded the Celtics' interior line! Among them, he personally covered Paul Pierce's two blood caps!!
Obviously, Paul Pearce's 'lackey theory' made him very unbearable, and this anger exploded on the court.
And once the Magic team advances. The whole world knows that they will lose to the Knicks, and since they swept them in a dash last year, they have trembled when they saw the Knicks, and they automatically weakened from an NBA powerhouse to a WNBA team, allowing the Knicks to win, and not resisting at all, just like an ATM without a password!
And in this way, it is certain that the Knicks will enter the Finals.
Once you make it to the finals, you have the hope of winning the championship, and once you get the championship............ Kenny Smith didn't dare to think about it anymore. After all, he is not a personality who treats money like dung!!
While Kenny Smith was in turmoil, the bench on the Knicks' side was relaxed and happy. Because Xiao Shi is already starting to celebrate with them.
"Well done, guys. It's been a hard job for everyone, so I'll leave the rest of the game to me! I'm here to send them home! ”
When Xiao Shi said this, the whole bench instantly breathed a sigh of relief, because they already knew that when Xiao Shi said this, it was equivalent to putting victory in his pocket!!
"Eddie Curry, David Lee, Tracy Maddie, Nate Robinson, you four stand last shift with me, we'll hold the first three minutes, and then we can send the Cavaliers home." Xiao Sao stretched out his hand and tapped four players whose physical strength seemed to be OK.
While there was a relaxed atmosphere on the Knicks' side, there was a heavy atmosphere on the Cavaliers' side, and McBrown kept explaining the tactics, cheering the players on, and telling them that victory was not difficult and that victory was still in hand.
The atmosphere seems to be back to a certain extent before the game began, with one side battling heavily and the other traveling lightly.
Drip!
Soon, with a whistle, the most crucial fourth quarter finally came.
The players on both sides returned to the court, and compared with the 'shrimp soldiers and crab generals' on the Knicks' side, the Cavaliers' side can be described as elite soldiers and elites...... O'Neal, Jamison, LeBron James, Delonte West, Mor Williams.
That's pretty much the strongest roster for the Cavaliers.
Compared to the Cavaliers, the Knicks' lineup is undoubtedly a bit shabby.
However, now no one dared to laugh at them, and the knights did not dare to take it lightly. After all, as soon as the third quarter began, it was almost such a lineup, and it quickly gave the Cavaliers a dismount, and then galloped all the way to counterattack the Cavaliers.
In the first round, the Cavaliers returned to the interior and passed the basketball to Shackle O'Neal, after all, now LeBron James has some physical problems, and if he continues to play like this, it is likely that the result will be that he will leave the court with cramps before he finishes the game.
Shackle O'Neal immediately launched a fierce attack on Eddie Curry with the ball, however, the unexpected thing is that Eddie Curry withstood Shackle O'Neal's onslaught, although he clenched his teeth and his expression was quite painful, but... He did it, and it was a beautiful one, as he slapped Shackel O'Neal's spinning small throw out of the box!
The battle between the big and small sharks has been one of the focuses of the series since the beginning of the series, and now the little shark Eddie Curry has finally delivered another perfect score on the defensive end.
However, Chi Chi felt that it was not enough!
Therefore, he did not launch the fast break quickly after rushing to grab this basketball, although he knew that the success rate of launching the fast break at the moment was very high, but he still stopped, he wanted to give Eddie Curry a chance, he wanted the little shark to beat him in the last game of the big shark, and replace him, and become the only shark in the league!!
So, Xiao slowly brought the ball to the front court and stopped outside the three-point line, as if he was about to make a final attack. The defensive Dryantiwest was on the verge of a big enemy, and he had no idea what Dash would do next.
However, it didn't take long for Xiao to give his answer.
After Eddie Curry and Shaq O'Neal ran into the penalty area, Eddie Curry was quickly stuck with his back, and Xiao immediately threw the basketball into the penalty area.
Eddie Curry received the ball, did not choose a complete hard back single, but sat hard inside, and then turned to the right suddenly, Shackle O'Neal quickly pounced to the right, and at the same time as O'Neal defended to the right, the little fat man Eddie Curry had already spun to the left like a top...... At this time, O'Neal's eyes were still looking to the right, but Eddie Curry didn't wait for him to turn around and score an easy layup!!
Eddie Curry completed a wonderful inside foot, and even had the feeling of a big dream Olajuwon.
In fact, Shackel O'Neill felt it too.
He felt that there was something ridiculous about what was happening in front of him.
When he first joined the league, he was deceived by the big dream Olajuwon's various jumps, all kinds of eating, being taught by him to be a man, and watching him score easily.
And now that he is old and frail, he can't jump at all, and the bounce height is not even as long as his J-B, and he is still played by the same similar moves...... Fate is really a reincarnation!!
In the cheers of Madison Garden Arena, a smile appeared on the corner of Shackle O'Neal's mouth, and he was relieved!!
It doesn't seem to be a big deal to be defeated by a little fat man at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, after all, he has reached the age when he should retire.
Shackle O'Neal was relieved, but the Cavaliers were still not relieved. After all, they didn't get everything they wanted like Shackle O'Neal, Shackle O'Neal's state of mind at this moment can be said to be calm after prosperity, while the Cavaliers have not reached the peak at all, and now they are about to be swept away, how can they let go?
So, after halftime, the Cavaliers' ball was still handed over to the inside, and after Shackle O'Neal received the ball and pushed Eddie Curry twice, he handed the ball to Jamison, who had a better chance, and Jamison singled out David Lee, got the vacancy with a few flexible steps, and then scored on a jumper!!
By this time, the Knicks' defense had dropped across the board...... After all, the players have been replaced by David Lee, Nut, Robinson, and Eddie Curry, who are not good at defense at all in the public's impression.
When Jamison found out that it was so easy to attack, he quickly told his teammates the news, so that they could attack boldly!!
But at this time, Nate Robinson had already launched a fast break on the other side, he violently attacked the front court, jumped directly after half court, and then threw the basketball almost out with a throw!
The moment Nate Robinson shot, almost the whole world thought he was crazy.
Is this nonsense? How can you play like this?
Madison Garden fans are even ready to use foul language.
However, it soon ...... Swish!
The sound of the basketball coming into the net seals all the foul language.
Turns into bursts of exclamations!!
No one expected Nate Robinson to be able to throw this nonsense ball in...... Could it be that this is the Knicks' secret weapon? When did Nate Robinson train his range so far?
While the audience exclaimed, Nate Robinson raised his hands and shouted loudly that I was the second scorer in New York, arrogant and domineering!
However, this arrogance did not disgust the New York fans, on the contrary, they gave a frenzied cheer, and at the same time hoped that Nate Robinson would be arrogant a few more times!!
And Xiao Shi frowned at this time, he was thinking about one thing in his heart... These guys are so wolf-like, could it be that before I have entered the god-killing state, they will turn the game into garbage time??
As soon as he thought of this, Xiao Shao's heart was a little nervous and oppressive.
These guys really love to steal the show!
