Chapter 24: We will always have one more point than our opponents
The so-called superstar is to show his big heart at this time, and Carmelo Anthony is still the Knicks' most trusted point. Although he is faltering, although he is exhausted, as long as he does not have the strength to die, the ball will be in his hands.
I saw Anthony, the star of the Knicks, stubbornly holding Pierce's guard that had been entangled in his eyelashes, throwing the ball and himself into the air and making it difficult to go up.
90:89γ
"Look at this goal, Anthony won the battle with Pierce again. Anthony even made a shot when he had lost his center of gravity, which is an injury-prone act, and it can be seen that this game has gone far beyond the meaning of a normal regular season game. "George from New York Sports is foaming at the mouth, looking a little hilarious.
With 28 seconds left, Celtics head coach Doug Rivers called a timeout.
The 13-year NBA coach and 9-year NBA coach are the 16th head coach in the history of the Boston Celtics and the fourth head coach to win the NBA Coach of the Year title, but his best coach was achieved by the Magic, who was a bad player in his hand, except for Ben Wallace, who later received a lot of salary, and the other starting four disappeared within a few years. The next year, "Brother Dao" ushered in the addition of Maddie, and just when he thought he saw the hope of returning to the top, the Magic was blocked in the first round of the playoffs for two consecutive years, and then in 03, a wave of 1-10 games made "Brother Dao" go directly. Although "Brother Dow" failed to escape the "curse of the best manager", he still made a tenacious comeback, and since taking over the Celtics coaching whip in 04, his path has become wider and wider, and he led the Boston Celtics to the NBA championship in the 2007-2008 season. Champion coach, this honor is enough.
Zuihou's 1-2 offensive chances are both a parade for the stars and a test for the coach.
Wang Xiaomu's opening abacus is full of people who are calculating, and now it has become a burden. Four of the five players on the pitch can hold the ball and create chances. And on the Knicks' side, only Anthony is reliable. But Anthony's state at the moment?
Sitting on the bench, Cameron looked like he had just been fished out of the pool, gasping for air in his chair and oozing water from his jersey. The ball just now seemed to have exhausted his strength and energy, but seeing Wang Xiaomu's eyes drifting towards him, Cameron still straightened his waist and raised his head high, "Head, no problem, you can arrange it!" β
With 28 seconds behind by 1 point, the Knicks still have a lot of tactical options:
First of all, you can defend the opponent for a 24 seconds, if the defense is successful. The one who has the initiative is himself. But if they fail, they can only execute a three-point tie with four seconds remaining. This also doesn't allow the opponent to shoot a 3-pointer or make a 2+1.
The second option is to foul early and bet on the opponent's free throw percentage, but if the opponent plays two free throws and two hits normally, the pressure shifts to the Knicks' side.
Wang Xiaomu's tactic is to press for 10 seconds first, try to make the opponent move the ball to the hands of No. 7 O'Neal Jr., who has the worst free throw shooting percentage, and if this intention is achieved, quickly foul. If not, when the opponent is close to the 3-point line, immediately execute the foul tactic.
On the Celtics side, "Brother Dao" is also arranging his lineup, and he has more options, but in order to be able to insure the current, he chooses to implement a three-point strategy. This tactic has been executed countless times, with Pierce and Ray Allen running off the ball two points, and one misses and lets the other execute.
When the players from both sides came on, the fans of the entire North Shore Bank Garden Stadium held their breath, and some fans even held their hearts that were not very comfortable, waiting for the time to come. Of course, not all fans have their hearts set on the Celtics. Nearly 1,500 fans who had come from New York to cheer on the Knicks stood up and shouted loudly, waving signs in support of the Knicks. It's a pity that the despicable and shameless Celtic arranged the seats of the away fans too remotely, and the noise attack was obviously not lethal enough.
Under the instructions of "Brother Dow", the Celtics quickly advanced to the Knicks with the ball from Rondo, Bibby relied on his body to slow down Rondo's advance a little bit, and at this time, Pierce blocked Anthony behind him from the right side through O'Neal Jr.'s blocking, vacant! Dangerous!
All Knicks fans in the audience were shocked.
Jeremy Lin, who was defending Ray Allen on the side, abandoned Ray and pounced on Pierce.
Foul!
It's just that the place where the ball foul was fouled is a bit depressing. three-point line, and Pierce made a shot.
Wang Xiaomu patted his head speechlessly, Xiao Linzi's thinking was fine, but he was still too young to be able to accurately position the other party. But then again, that's not bad, and who can not make mistakes.
However, the Knicks' character seems to be good. The second referee on the field clearly lowered his two fingers at the moment Pierce received the ball, signaling the ball to step on the line.
With two free throws, it seemed that the three-point was about to be arranged, and Knicks assistant coach Woodson pulled out the strategy board and thought about the three-point strategy of the ball.
But the Knicks' super-high character continues. Pierce missed the first shot.
The jaw-dropping Pierce swallowed hard, and the equally jaw-dropping Celtics fans were silent. And the poor Knicks fans suddenly became happy and vented their pleasure! The competition is so exciting, it's a lot of ups and downs!
With Pierce's second ball in the net, the Knicks took a timeout. There are also 20 seconds of zuihou in the race.
"See, the scales of victory are tilting like us today, the goddess of victory in New York is holding the torch to welcome us home, that... cough cough cough, the goddess is also our fans." Wang Xiaomu was happy for a while, but fortunately he was pinched by Gao Yuanyuan on the side. This is in charge more and more now.
Coach Wang Da cleaned up his mood and began to deploy Zuihou to attack. He didn't want to score two points and then get stuck in the neck.
"Anthony, Zuihou throws, I'm ready to let Xiaolinzi execute." Wang Xiaomu looked at Cameron and said, no way, even Wang Daxian knows the importance of the core at the moment, the whole team does not compete with Anthony for a shot, even the head coach must take into account the feelings of the star.
"Hmm." Anthony wiped the sweat from his head and nodded a little unwillingly.
Although Cameron agreed, Wang Xiaomu also felt the other party's reluctance, and saw that the kindness he had accumulated by helping Anthony treat his injuries was about to run out.
"Ahem, I've been training Jeremy for the past few days!" Wang Xiaomu added. Although he doesn't need to communicate with the other players on the court one by one, he can't let Jeremy Lin become the target of public criticism.
βοΌβ A big question mark appeared directly on Jeremy Lin's head, but after seeing Wang Xiaomu frowning at him, his heart warmed, this is the head coach giving himself another chance, Coach Wang is taking care of himself under such great pressure, this opportunity must be seized.
Jeremy Lin clenched his fists and said, "I'll definitely throw the ball in!" β
After listening to Wang Xiaomu's explanation, the generals suddenly realized, and their eyes immediately lit up. It turns out that the head coach has a knack for the ultra-long-distance three-point appearance!
Whether there is a trick or not depends on the efficacy. Knicks' three-point chance!
The Knicks drew the opposing defense with Anthony holding the ball and passed the ball to Jeremy Lin, who was on the baseline at 45Β° at Zuihou's 3 seconds.
A Hao's three-point shot: There is! This was Jeremy Lin's first feeling after throwing the ball!
Many players will instantly have a wonderful feeling in their hearts after shooting, which is a kind of prediction after physical and mental coordination, and excellent players can know in advance whether they can score or not after shooting! And Jeremy Lin now has this wonderful feeling: this goal can be scored! β
The Celtics' "Brother Dow" looked like ashes at the moment when Anthony made a pass. He knew that his tactics to keep Anthony at bay had failed, and even Jeremy Lin threw the ball with almost no one being marked.
Celtic, home hate.
The final score on the court: 91:92, the Knicks scored a point.
In the post-game press conference, Celtics head coach Doug Rivers graciously admitted that the Knicks' young head coach Wang Xiaomu is a rising star, "I heard that two shells don't fall into the same crater." In the last game, the Knicks' No. 17 Jeremy had already shot a three-point shot, but he didn't expect the Knicks' head coach to dare to let the same person execute the kill. It can be said that Coach Wang's amazing courage won a victory. When asked about Wang Xiaomu's possible achievements, Brother Dao said: "Oh, you ask him about the heights he may reach in the future, I think he will become a champion coach sooner or later, or even a godfather of basketball!" Although he is still young, I see the potential and talent of a good coach from him! β
In the face of the praise of "Brother Dao", Wang Xiaomu was very modest! Surrounded by nearly 50 reporters, Lao Li first thanked the more than 1,500 Knicks fans who were present. "We were passive in the game at one point, you know, we got so little support on the road, and the Celtics home fans were exactly like the sixth man on the court, but it was the Knicks fans who were there who passed their liliang into our hearts, cheered for the team when we were behind, and they gave us the courage and confidence to overcome difficulties!"
Regardless of whether Wang Xiaomu's move is crocodile tears or Uncle Liu Huang's falling child, it is true that he has won the hearts of all Knicks fans! Even many neutral fans and Celtics fans praised Coach Wang Xiaomu: personable.
"Coach Wang Xiaomu is the best coach I've ever had in my career, and he's going to lead the Knicks out of the quagmire and into glory......," Knicks captain Carmelo Anthony praised the head coach in an interview, completely ignoring the reporter's provocative comments. He still remembered the secret Wang Xiaomu said!
Anthony's statement disappointed the unscrupulous media who wanted to create an internal bar incident, you must know that the melon was deprived of Zuihou's right to shoot in two consecutive games, you must know that this is second only to the hatred of killing his father and wife in the professional basketball world.
βTHEONEοΌβ The Boston Globe directly quoted a quote from Xiao Si as the title of the report: "There is no doubt that the team is looking for the one who is just like Keno Reeves, he is the one who will lead the New York Knicks to the top."
As for Jeremy Lin, who scored a goal, he gave double praise to the head coach, and for the first time, he was commensurate with his mentor and apprentice. "I have learned a lot from him, and I believe that Coach Wang Xiaomu is a good mentor on my way to success."
Just when the reporters who did not have the slightest violent news were disappointed, Wang Xiaomu actually revealed his wild words on Twitter: "See, I said, we will always have one more point than our opponents." β
