Chapter 123: The Battle of Ice and Fire (1)

(The hateful training continues, and the recent update of the small shot is not good enough, so I apologize here)

Not only did the fans and media be taken aback by the ball, but even the head coach of the Bulls, Thibodeau, sat up straight with a solemn expression. In their eyes, the Knicks have always been a slow-burning team, and they are used to lazily digging a big hole in the first quarter, then filling the hole in the second and third quarters, and then trying to win it again in the fourth quarter.

This is a common mistake that many big-name teams tend to make, as players can't keep all four quarters in good shape, and many times the coach or star chooses to relax a little bit at the beginning.

That's where those great reversal games come in:

On November 28, 1996, the Jazz played against the Nuggets, and the Jazz were once 34-70 behind the Nuggets by as many as 36 points in the first half. The biggest margin in the second half was 34 points, but the Jazz won a miraculous 107-103 victory. This game was also mentioned when Stockton retired this year, and the all-time assist king has been glorious in his life, but only this game is still fresh in his memory, which shows the weight of this big reversal.

The Knicks themselves have a tradition of making this kind of latecomer: in 1973, although it was just a regular season game, the Knicks staged the most spectacular comeback in NBA history. By the end of the fourth quarter, the Knicks were still trailing the Bucks 68-86. However, no one expected it to end like this: the Knicks went crazy with a 19-0 scoring spree and narrowly won by one point.

Of course, the Rockets' home game against the Spurs on December 9, 2004 is still a miracle in the hearts of fans. With 1 minute and 2 seconds left in the race. The Rockets are still 10 points behind the Spurs. But. Maddie showed the heroism of "Savior". In the last 35 seconds, he scored an astonishing 13 points, including a successful 4-point shot and a winning three-pointer, leading the Rockets to an "impossible" victory.

On December 6, 2002, the Lakers trailed the Mavericks by 30 points, trailing the Mavericks by 27 points at the start of the fourth quarter, but ended the Mavericks' 14-game winning streak at 105-103, when Kobe Bryant scored 21 points in the fourth quarter and became the biggest contributor.

Other than that. Many wonderful reversals still seem to be fresh in our minds: in the '11 playoffs, Roy reversed the Mavericks by 23 points with an injury; In 2009, the Kings scored 33-10 to beat the Bulls by 35 points, and in the '08 Finals, the Celtics reversed the Lakers after trailing by 24 points at one point.

Although Wang Xiaomu's coaching has changed some of the Knicks' style of play, the team's bad habit still pops up from time to time. Thibodeau's main tactic this time is to let the team concentrate the main forces and firepower at the first time to push the Knicks into the abyss. This is where Thibodeau and the players speak before the game:

"The Chinese are good at using trickery, and in this game we have to establish a lead at the beginning, remember that all the main players should warm up 10 minutes before the game to ensure that they are the strongest as soon as they fire!"

But the cruel reality told Xi Shuai that it was indeed the away team New York wearing a white jersey that was on fire at the beginning.

Although the game was the home of the Bulls, they wore back to the red retro jersey. Like a red flame that burns everything; And the Knicks' white jersey is like a white snowflake. It can freeze thousands of miles.

It wasn't just Jeremy Lin's outburst that made the Bulls coach feel like he was stuck in the ice cellar, and Lin's performance in the opening game almost wanted his opponent to burst him with a machine gun.

One one-on-one 1vs5, one pull-out three-point hit, one savage steal from Rose, plus two mid-range shots.

With only three and a half minutes to play, the Bulls, who trailed by seven points, called a timeout.

The Knicks, on the other hand, were bursting with laughter.

"Head, thank you for your instructions, Wise!" After celebrating with his teammates, Jeremy Lin hurriedly slapped Wang Xiaomu's ass.

Coach Wang was naturally happy to accept it, and then again, it was his own credit. Wang Xiaomu, who was still suffering from gains and losses two days ago, also wanted to open it this time, regardless of whether he was an old man with eggs or an old man with cooked eggs, it was a big deal to fight, but I couldn't run away if I couldn't beat him! Just allow him to be local, and don't let Lao Tzu call for help? Hmph, how do you say that sentence: Are you a monkey invited by the rescuers?

With this courage, Wang Xiaomu, who had already reached a big step in the knot, suddenly found that he had entered the realm of the Great Perfection in the early stage of the knot. During this time, the rapid progress of his realm made Wang Daoshi himself can't believe it, it turned out that when he was in the master's gate, how keen he was to cultivate, he couldn't wait to practice 25 hours a day, 32 days a month, how lovely those boring meditations and facing the wall were in his eyes, but even if he practiced ruthlessly, 30 years of hard work could not catch up with his 30 days of gain.

No wonder Old Niubi asked me to come here to cultivate, this is simply a paradise in the cultivation realm. Wang Xiaomu was complacent. The only bad thing is that when I came to the United States, I forgot to ask Master Guan for the cultivation spell of the Jindan period. The main thing is that I didn't expect to advance so quickly.

(Master Wang Xiaomu, who was far away in Maoshan blushed for a while: I just said this casually.) )

With Lin Yuer's low-power eavesdropper, although it is difficult for Wang Xiaomu to see all the tactics of the bull at a glance, he can basically listen to a general idea, and the opening onslaught repeatedly emphasized by the other party naturally attracted Wang Xiaomu's attention. In order not to let the other party's trick succeed, Wang Xiaomu used a "guide" for Jeremy Lin to score as soon as he came up. Not surprisingly, Jeremy Lin is a member of the 20+10 club again.

If it was the original realm, this talisman would consume Wang Xiaomu's mana by seventy-seven-eighty-eight, and now with the improvement of Wang Daoshi's realm, this move is basically a quarter of the consumption. It can be seen that Jindan Avenue is not a joke.

With a strong back-up move, Wang Xiaomu is naturally happy to wait for the team to win. Looking at Jeremy Lin on the field, Wang Xiaomu couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Basketball geniuses all over the planet are almost all in the NBA, but people are divided into groups, and there is a difference between geniuses and geniuses. That's why there are superstars, stars and ordinary players, of course, there can be subdivisions, that is, stars and pseudo-stars. What is a pseudo-star? It's that they have the skills of a star or even a superstar, but they don't have the heart of a superstar. They are also in the spotlight but always make mistakes and are rarely willing to change, they are always one step away from superstardom, but they always seem out of reach.

At present, Rose belongs to the category of the greatest stars, and the 22-year-old MVP is definitely not bragging, and his strong body makes his explosiveness incomprehensible to opponents. The excellent first step, coupled with the super flexibility of the body, allowed Rose to make many incredible moves in the process of breaking through.

And Anthony seems to be almost strong, except for the highest score in a single quarter, Melon really has no hard honor to hold. And his state is not stable enough, when he is crazy, the whole world trembles, and Sun Yue can cap him when he gets up. In the Sino-US confrontation match that year, Anthony attacked one by one quickly, and was taken down by Sun Yue's hat alive, which was really embarrassing and thrown to China.

Xiao Si is even more declining, his talent has been mentioned repeatedly, but he has repeatedly squandered his old capital. In these few games, Stoudemire's defense is not as good as day by day, and if it goes on like this, it is really a substitute life!

As for the rest of the team, including Jeremy Lin, he is far from being a superstar.

The reason why the Knicks are so smooth now is that they have been relying on Wang Xiaomu to stimulate the potential of the players, but the potential is not directly transformed into strength, that is, the xx membrane of the girls, which only exists in legends.

What's more, Jeremy Lin missed his sixth shot. This made Wang Xiaomu, who was originally sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, almost fall off the stool.

"It can't be!" Wang Xiaomu muttered to himself. Jeremy Lin's shot was not easy to shoot this time, and after he made a breakthrough feint, he tried a jumper from the head of Rose, who was defending him.

In this game, although the 22-year-old MVP has the advantage of sitting at home, as long as you watch the live broadcast of the game, you will find that he does not show any calm mentality like a veteran training a recruit's eggs, on the contrary, Rose is more like a raw calf who has just entered the league, and will do whatever it takes to prove himself.

In order to block Jeremy Lin's shot, Rose did everything he could to overcome the gravitational pull of the earth. Despite this, the slightly passive Rose still couldn't get to Jeremy Lin's large-scale step-back jumper.

Jeremy Lin played the ball smartly, because he knew that his jump speed was not as fast as Rose, so the ball adopted a backward jumper pattern that pays tribute to Jordan.

The expected goal swooped around the frame, like a naughty child who is not used to the temperature of the bath water, and jumps out of the basket in a fussy.

"Look at this ball, it's so hanging, the Bulls spent so much effort for half a day to close the score, and they were almost beaten back to their original shape by Jeremy Lin!" The sports channel of the new X network made a special trip to broadcast the game, and when Wang Xiaomu led the Knicks to laugh proudly, the domestic media generally believed that the Bulls were the touchstone for testing the Knicks.

Looking at the opening paragraph, it will be difficult for the Bulls to stop the Knicks from moving forward. Jeremy Lin opened with 5 of 5 shots, oh, this one was missed, 5 of 6 shots, and it was the first shot he missed after the opening. "Imperial Court TV also sent a strong broadcast lineup for this game, they have always broadcast high-ranking events, but fortunately this bet was right.

But this missed goal was like a thunderbolt in Wang Xiaomu's eyes.

"It's all right, king. It's also normal, with Rose's defense being one of the best in the NBA. Woodson seemed to see that Wang Xiaomu was very annoyed that Jeremy Lin didn't score this shot, so he quickly patted Wang Xiaomu on the shoulder and casually persuaded him.

"Yes, Xiao Linzi started in good shape, and it would be hellish if he went in again!" Gao Yuanyuan also comforted casually. (To be continued......)
