Chapter 680: Victory Cigar
The moment the basketball pierced the net, the entire Madison Garden arena was in a state of flux, and almost everyone's butts left their seats...... This three points bring them infinite passion, so cool!! At a time when the whole world, including themselves, thought the team was hopeless, Nate Robinson stepped up and told the world with a buzzer-beating three-pointer that the Knicks were not at the end of their rope!!
In the cheers of the audience, Nate Robinson rushed to the technical table excitedly, he pounded his chest hard, and let out the wildest roar!
He didn't know what he was venting, he just knew that he should be yelling!!
A key frontcourt rebound, a buzzer-beating three-pointer!
Nate Robinson accomplished the impossible, and he gave New York fans a huge surprise that they didn't expect at all!
"I think there will definitely be teams that offer Nate Robinson a fully mid-level contract this summer, and even those teams that are willing to give him a contract with an annual salary of more than eight million. His offense is getting more and more consistent, and the range of the three-point line has reached near the halfway line, and he is much more stable than before, even if his defense is like a cup of poison, but I believe that many teams will be willing to drink this poison. "Earl Johnson couldn't help but call out for Nate Robinson when he hit this whistle!
Although the contract salary he gave was inflated, the six million annual salary would still be given to Nate Robinson. It's just that Nate Robinson may not leave Xiao because of this annual salary of six million, after all... Follow the chic mix, there is a lot of future and money. Although the salary is not high. But there's a lot of extra money. Endorsements from China have made Nate Robinson relent. And because of Xiao Chi's most loyal younger brother, his popularity among some first-line NBA stars in China is even higher. In addition, with Xiao Xianming, you can make a movie or something every three or five times, have a party with a Hollywood star or something, maybe one day you can go to the ring to play two hands, and get a few million extra income that is not taxed at all, how cool is it? And the most important thing is things, how fun it is to follow Chic. How pleasant! You don't have to think about things in your head, just do what the boss says! Going to other teams, how can there be such benefits?
Of course, having said that, after this round of playoffs, the Knicks will definitely give Nate Robinson a raise. After all, this guy is a chic descendant, and his strength has increased so much, how can he do it without adding money? Besides, New Yorkers are never short of money!!
At a time when Earl Johnson applauded and outbid for Nate Robinson. Kenny Smith chuckled and said, "Nate Robinson is really good, but he's not a regular time scorer. He's a sneak scorer, and when everyone focuses on him, he can't do it, after all, height is an objective flaw. And his defensive ability is really not excellent, if the Knicks want to win this game with Nate Robinson's surprise attack, it is really... It's a little hard!! ”
Although Kenny Smith maintained great restraint in his words, the smug aura was unnaturally revealed. As a supporter of the Lakers, as the person who put three million dollars on the Lakers, he finally ushered in tonight's bloom after three extremely depressing games. So... Where can he suppress the ecstasy and smugness in his heart!
Michael Jordan listened to Kenny Smith's words, and then looked at his triumphant look, and he was angry. He said angrily to Charles Barkley next to him: "How did you put up with him?" ”
Charles Barkley shrugged his shoulders helplessly, there was no way, he endured it!
Seeing that the atmosphere in the live broadcast table was becoming awkward, Earl Johnson quickly cut into the advertisement, and there was no halftime comment.
For live matches, stability is still overwhelming after all.
At the same time, the players on both sides have returned to the locker room, and the Lakers are naturally full of excitement and joy when they return to the locker room. The departure of two key players from the Knicks has given them the confidence that they can take out the understaffed Knicks, and they are just as confident of winning when they return to Los Angeles...... At this moment, they are already dreaming of a championship, and until then, their thinking is that they must not be swept away. Therefore, with a decisive momentum of unsuccessful battle.
And now... It can only be said that the ups and downs of life are too exciting!
"Coach, if we win the championship, will we become the first team in history to overtake and counterattack after falling behind 3-0!!" Charity World Peace asked Phil Jackson out loud when he returned to the locker room.
His question caused the entire locker room to laugh, and even Kobe Bryant began to feel extremely cheerful and relaxed.
Phil Jackson wanted to be serious, and he wanted to tell the guys in a deep voice that it wasn't time to celebrate, but... He finally couldn't hold back, because he also felt that the championship was already beckoning to him, so... He couldn't hold back his smile but said, "Well, it should be." ”
Phil Jackson's smiling words instantly sparked a revelry throughout the locker room.
The Lakers, whether it is management, coaching staff or players, laughed lightly, and they have never been more optimistic about the next game.
Unlike the Lakers' optimism, the Knicks' atmosphere back in the locker room was particularly heavy.
Eddie Curry and Tyson Chandler, the two inner barriers, are like frosted eggplants, wilting one by one, without mentioning the slightest strength.
Xiao Xiao is a heavy face and worried.
At this moment, it was Milicic and Nate Robinson who withdrew from the matter, as if nothing happened.
The atmosphere in the home team's dressing room was very oppressive and gloomy, with a strong smell of defeat coming.
Xiao Shi, who returned to the locker room, looked around and looked at his teammates around him, he wanted to say something, but finally held back. After all, people's character is naturally predestined, and some people are destined to climb the peak and face difficulties. Others are accustomed to standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up. Or walk to the mountainside to see the scenery.
Case. Needless to say.
In the midst of a depressing silence, the locker room door was pushed open, and Tracy Maddy pushed Stephen Marbury in, at which point Marbury still did not go to the hospital for treatment, but placed his injured foot in an ice bucket for conservative treatment.
Then, Jeffries was pushed in as well.
Neither of them left.
"Xiao, let me play in the second half!" With that, Tracy Maddie had already begun to take off his suit.
"Nope. You take care of your injuries. Xiao Shi rejected him.
"I've just had a shot closed." Tracy Maddie's eyes were no longer lazy, he looked at Xiao Shi very firmly, then looked around, and said decisively: "I know the team needs me now." I've never made it to the second round of the playoffs, I've got all the individual accolades of my career, I want a championship right now, I know... Tonight was the closest to my dreams, and against Kobe Bryant, I didn't have any reason to be absent. ”
"But your injuries aren't healed yet." Nate Robinson said with concern next to him.
"Huh." Tracy Maddy smiled indifferently, and then said with a straight face: "Even if this leg is useless, I am willing." People always have to have a little ideal, don't they? Once upon a time. A lot of people have always laughed at and despised my professional attitude, thinking that I am lazy, that I am not very aggressive, that I am just relying on my talent to get what I want in this league......"
"I don't deny that I'm talented, I don't deny that I'm lazy, and I won't deny that I'm not aggressive, but no one can deny that I have a heart that loves basketball. This season was the most fulfilling year of my basketball career, although I couldn't easily get past the defense as before, I couldn't jump up and jump in front of the defender and throw the basketball into the basket easily, and I couldn't affect the trend of the game by myself, I was old, I was injured, but I found the true joy of basketball, and maybe only after losing everything, I could get the most precious thing. ”
"Now, I want to play, I want to burn the last bit of strength out of my body. Even if I fail, I don't win the championship, at least I'm going crazy with a bang! Later... Who would dare to say that Tracy Maddie doesn't have fighting spirit? ”
Tracy Maddie almost gritted her back molars and yelled out the last words.
Indeed, Tracy Maddy at the moment is scrappy.
With his roar, the dullness of the Knicks' locker room finally dissipated, and some of the dead hearts began to revive a little...... Tracy Maddie is willing to go crazy at all costs, why can't I? Compared to Tracy's determination to scrap a leg, I at least have nothing to lose, right? I'm at least able-bodied, right?
"Okay." Xiao was moved by Tracy Maddie's words: "Change into a jersey and I'll let you play at the right time." ”
Xiao Shi agreed, but what he really thought in his heart was...... The right time is garbage time, and he wants to beat the Lakers to a collapse and... Let Tracy Maddy go up and collect the victory.
Indeed, Dash really wanted to fulfill Tracymad's vigorous and desperate fighting spirit, but Dash assessed the risk and felt that Tracymad's loss attitude was too great. He didn't want Tracy Maddy to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair, and he felt that Tracy Maddie's career didn't deserve a championship ring after that.
Tracy Maddie didn't think about the deeper meaning of Xiao Sa's words, and when he saw that Xiao Sa agreed, he immediately went to the side excitedly to change his clothes.
When Tracy Maddy ran over to change clothes, the atmosphere in the locker room began to be full of activity, and an indescribable momentum began to take root in the hearts of Knicks players and began to grow vigorously...... When people reach their most desperate moments, they often only need an opportunity to burn the craziest thoughts, and this is how outlaws are often born.
Xiao is a serious psychologist who captures some emotions from Tyson Chandler Eddie Curry's expressions, but he doesn't fan the flames and make them completely crazy...... He hoped that the madness was completely based on their subjective feelings, and was not forcibly born by their own stimuli or other external forces...... The former will make this madness good to a solid base in the heart, while the latter is a fire out of thin air that has no foundation and can easily disappear on its own. Then it was replaced by an even more irretrievable slump and sinking.
Xiao Xiao didn't want to pull out the seedlings to help grow. Let them handle it themselves at this moment.
"I'm sorry. Shaw. I must be ugly when I cry, right? Jeffries said awkwardly as he walked up to him.
He smiled wryly, he didn't think about why he broke down and cried at that moment. Maybe it's just that there was too much sadness and despair piling up in that moment.
"It's okay. I promise you'll cry again tonight. Xiao pursed his lips and patted Jeffries on the shoulder with a smile.
Jeffries smiled brightly when he heard this, he still has hope for Xiao Sa, and still thinks that Xiao Sage can lead the team to create miracles, because there are too many miracles he has created in the past.
If Nate Robinson and Milicic are the descendants of Shaw, then Jeffries is undoubtedly Shaw's most trusted teammate, and this guy's trust in Dash is also among the best in the whole team. He has cooperated with Xiao Shi countless times in defense to help each other, he knows how strong Xiao Sa's ability is, so he unconditionally trusts Xiao Sa, since Xiao Sage still has confidence, then he also maintains confidence.
"How's your injuries?" Xiao Po asked a very concerned question.
"Thankfully, we all just sprained ligaments, not to the point of tearing." Stephen Marbury said with some regret: "The only drawback is that I can't play right now. ”
"Just don't affect the next championship float parade, I don't want to push you two injured people on the bus, it's too hard!!" Xiao Xiao joked angrily.
Between the words, the atmosphere was a little more lively.
As long as chic can still laugh and joke. The problem doesn't seem to be as serious as imagined!!
While the atmosphere in the Knicks' locker room was reviving a little, T-NT switched the ad back. Halftime comments were made.
At this point, the Knicks led by a full 15 points at 65:50, and from the court, although the Knicks lost two important players in a row, they essentially maintained their identity as controlling the rhythm. However, the second half may have changed its color. The Knicks' physical problems will gradually become prominent, and the lack of personnel will also make their tactical flaws dig deeper, and the Lakers only need to do their best... Steady, the hope of victory is very high. Earl Johnson analyzed.
"The Lakers' odds of winning are indeed better than the Knicks' in their current situation. However, the Lakers must be good at limiting the sloppy and beware of the sneak three-point shooting style of Nate Robinson, the Lakers did not do a good job of defending the last few tens of seconds of the first half, otherwise the Lakers should have narrowed the gap to within 10 points instead of 15 points. Magic Johnson is standing in the identity of the Lakers celebrity and giving advice to the Lakers.
"If the Knicks can do it in the third quarter without being overtaken, I think... The Knicks' probability of winning still exists, after all, Xiao Shi still has a big killing move that has not been used, and he still has crazy projection. When he's physically tired, he goes into no-ball mode. Charles Barkley was so relieved.
"But you have to admit it. If the Knicks want to be overtaken in the third quarter, then Xiao Dash must give his best to score, and his physical strength is limited after all. When he's on fire in the third quarter, there's a good chance he's been shooting like crazy in the second half of the third quarter. And then what? And then he'll be carried off the court, and then... Even if the Knicks lead more, the Lakers can easily pull it back. You have to be aware of the fact that the Knicks are even worse than the NBDL when sags aside, especially now that there is no outside line and the team is tired. Kenny Smith retorted proudly, and he seemed very relaxed at the moment...... After all, the victory is already in hand!
Michael Jordan frowned when he heard this, everyone saw that his face was not good-looking, and hurriedly tried to come back, LeBron James hurriedly said: "No, Kenny, the role players of the Knicks are not as bad as you think." I don't think the Lakers will have it as easy as you say if they want to win the game, after all, the Knicks still have a fifteen-point lead. ”
LeBron James said good things for the Knicks like this, for fear that the basketball god who supported the Knicks would not be able to save face because of Kenny Smith's words.
However, Michael Jordan seemed a little unappreciative. He said very directly: "Even if the Knicks don't lead now, the Lakers can't win." ”
Michael Jordan's words were very cold.
The balls on the sidelines were terrified!
What kind of judgment is that? In such a situation, you dare to say that the Lakers can't win? And is it that the Knicks can't win even if they are behind the Lakers?
Hey, Michael, let's be honest, how much alcohol did you drink?
Everyone was intimidated by Michael Jordan's amazing words, which is also too 'appalling', right?
Just when everyone was shocked by the commentary and the audience in front of the TV was in an uproar, Michael Jordan suddenly said to his assistant outside the picture: "Help me prepare a cigar, and light it for me after the Knicks win!" ”
