Chapter 366: Bench Bandits
In the silence, the embarrassment in the locker room accumulated little by little, and everyone's eyes began to gather towards Xiao Shi, and everyone was waiting for Xiao Shi's reply.
Most of the people in the locker room thought that Nate Robinson was very honest at the moment, and it was clear that he really wanted to play.
But at this time, Xiao Sheng was thinking about another question, he was thinking, should he advance the god-killing state to the third quarter or delay it to the fourth quarter? Due to the struggle of the first two quarters of the game, Xiao Sao feels that his body is about to come to the edge of exhaustion, once he enters the exhaustion state, it means the coming of the god-killing state, according to past experience, the god-killing state should be able to maintain a super scoring efficiency of five to eight minutes, and five to eight minutes is enough to erase the current score difference and establish a double-digit point difference. But... How do you get the timing right?
If the third quarter used the killing state, the fourth quarter would definitely not be able to play, without themselves, can teammates still resist the offensive firepower of the Magic team?
And when they play again in the fourth quarter, what kind of game can their teammates play in the third quarter?
Xiao Sao is in a dilemma.
He thought for a long time, and then looked up, and Nate Robinson was still looking at him with burning eyes. So, he asked, "What kind of teammates do you think I should give you?" ”
As soon as Xiao Shi said this, Nate Robinson's heart instantly rejoiced, and a brilliant flower bloomed on his face. He quickly said, "I need David Lee to help me with the pick-and-roll, and his backcourt rebounds are even better than we thought." ”
Nate Robinson was the first to think of David Lee, who spoke for himself, and he had class feelings with David Lee. David Lee has not had a good time these days, although he has not been openly banned by Xiao Xian. But because of Milicic's ascendancy. His playing time has been greatly compressed. When it comes to the playoffs, you can only go through the motions in garbage time.
"What else?" Xiao Shi continued to ask, and he did not deny Nate Robinson's arrangement, but continued to ask.
"Also, Stephen Marbury, he's very good at controlling the tempo of the whole team. When I'm on a rampage, I need someone to pull the line behind my back. ”
Xiao Shao was still noncommittal, and continued to ask, "What else?" ”
"Jeffries, he can defend Turkoglou. And Wilt Chandler. We need a small forward who can charge forward!! Nate Robinson poured out the thoughts in his mind.
After listening to his arrangement, Xiao Sao carefully considered it. This lineup is indeed very strong in terms of momentum, but the height is a little lacking.
However, in the end, Xiao Sao nodded: "Okay, the third quarter will be handed over to you." I want your courage to be more evident on the pitch than in the dressing room. ”
"Yes!!" Nate Robinson excitedly agreed, shouting so loudly that he even saluted a Marine Corps.
Xiao Xiao didn't talk too much about Nate Robinson, but turned around and said to head coach D'Antoni: "Mr. Coach. All the tactics in the third quarter are left to you to command. I know I've been making you feel constrained all this time, so I'm not going to be on the court in the third quarter. I'm not going to interfere with you, I'm going to stay in the dressing room and watch the game. ”
As soon as Xiao Shi's words came out, D'Antoni was happy at first, and he could finally let go of his unscrupulous command tactics...... While this is a right that a manager should have, he has not had that basic right for some time.
The joy lasted only a moment, and soon he became uneasy. He was accustomed to Xiao Shao's acting as a substitute, because he had to admit that Xiao Shao's tactics were more clever, and he was a little timid in the face of such a vicious opponent.
Similarly, there are also Knicks players, they have long been accustomed to standing on the court like a sea god needle, and now Xiao Xiao said that the game will be handed over to them, where can they accept it for a while! This challenge is really a bit difficult for them, they are like young eagles who have been hiding behind the eagle, they have never been in charge of the big scene alone, and now the eagle has kicked them out of the safety nest and let them face the dangerous challenge!!
Xiao Xiao took in all the reactions in the dressing room, and he saw the players' lack of confidence and their hesitation.
So, he walked to the middle of the locker room and said aloud, "Guys, I know what you're worried about, and I know you're used to playing with me. But, as a man, as an athlete, as a warrior, I want to see you brave enough to raise your arms and rush forward alone in the face of a vicious enemy. I'm not on the pitch, so you should show your most vicious fangs with the most resolute attitude, so that they can see how powerful you are. For half a season, all the glory and controversy has been around me, and you seem to have been automatically filtered. However, the Knicks are not my Knicks alone, and this flag is a glory to all of us. So, tonight, the third quarter of the game. Please stand up, stand in the middle of Madison Gardens, and tell everyone your name and why you are there!! ”
The chic speech was impassioned, and instantly mobilized the will to fight of the Knicks players, and they quietly clenched their fists one by one and clenched their teeth.
Xiao Xiao wanted this effect, he had wanted to say this for a long time, and now he finally found this opportunity.
"Go, go show your fangs to the vicious enemy, prove your existence to the die-hard fans, and I'll watch you shine in the locker room!!" Walk over with style, high-five each player, and then send his teammates out of the locker room and towards the stadium!!
After bidding farewell to the last of his teammates, Xiao Shi sat back in his place, and he looked up at the screen above. He didn't know if he was right or wrong to do it, but his instincts told him that it was necessary. You have to involve your teammates in the whole game, you have to stimulate their sense of existence, and it's not necessarily a good thing for a team to have all the focus on one person.
Xiao thinks a lot.
General manager Donnie Walsh stayed behind after the players ran out, and he sat down next to Xiao Shi and asked in confusion, "Xiao." Now the team needs you immensely. The Magic team is so imposing. Why did you choose to stay in the locker room at this time? Even if you need to take a break, you should go to the bench to encourage your teammates. ”
"No, what the team needs right now is not encouragement. What they need more is the courage to fight against the odds. All the while, I was on the front line, hollowing out my strength against the most vicious enemies, who had long been accustomed to playing behind me, and their ability to take on the responsibility of the game had greatly decreased. So. I had to put them through a process without me, I had to put a lot of pressure on their shoulders. In this way, they can unleash their most powerful power. It's for the sake of the Knicks as a whole, and we can't just target the Magic. If we want to win more games and win more opponents, they have to step up! Xiao Sao explained very seriously.
Donnie Walsh nodded, apparently convinced by the rookie who didn't even have a twenty-year-old.
At this moment, he understood why this guy was so valuable, and why the boss would make a decision not to change even LeBron James.
Thankfully, it's the Knicks who have the dash.
Donnie Walsh kept sighing in his heart. In his opinion, it is really cruel to compete with such an opponent. And. It's just this guy's rookie season, and he's already so dangerous. When he's more mature, God knows what he'll become.
Donnie Walsh figured out the deep meaning of Xiao Xiao after Xiao Xiao's explanation, but the fans in New York didn't know it, and when they saw that Xiao Xiao did not return to the court, or even return to the bench, they immediately panicked one by one, and they had no confidence at all...... What's going on? How could Xiao Slack not be on the pitch? Is he hurt? Why is there no news at all? Oh, my God! I'd rather lose this game than make the playoffs than hear about Xiao Sao's injury. He's our future, he's the Knicks' best hope!! How can we accept the fact that Xiao Xiao is injured???
Knicks fans were panicked and panicked.
The Magic team was confused, and they didn't know what was going on. For them, if it's really an injury, it's fantastic. What's the difference between a no-dash Knick and a toothless tiger? No... The Knicks are not a tiger at all, they are paper tigers at best!
It doesn't matter if it's a real injury or a fake injury, or something else happened. Seeing that the Knicks lacked Chi, Stan Van Gundy couldn't help laughing, and then he quickly changed to the strongest lineup, making sure to completely open the point difference in the third quarter, even if Xiao Sage returned to the court at that time, he had to look at the huge point difference and sigh.
When the Knicks players were full of ambition and the entire Magic team was excited, the game began.
Looking at the 10,000-year-old substitutes such as Nate Robinson, David Lee, who were replaced on the opposite side, the Magic players couldn't help but have a sense of superiority again, and they felt that the Knicks were giving up on themselves.
Soon, Nate Robinson, who was despised by them, took Nelson's ball directly with a brutal steal when the basketball was stolen. Nelson even had a contemptuous sneer on his face, and he felt that the Knicks were simply disrespectful to himself by using this dwarf winter melon to defend himself.
Nate Robinson didn't care if Nelson was disdainful of himself at this time, he stole the basketball and ran to the frontcourt, then stopped outside the three-point line and made a quick jumper...... Swish!
Basketball caught!!
The unreasonable three-point jumper is something that Nate Robinson has always liked to do. Even though since the beginning of his career, everyone said he was a guy who played with no brains, but that's his style. As the shortest guy in the NBA, he couldn't find a better way to prove himself than to be a crazy bench bandit!!
This unreasonable three points made the audience boil! At this moment, everyone forgot that Xiao Xiao did not appear on the court.
After Nate Robinson hit this three-pointer, he raised his eyebrows arrogantly and saluted a strong military salute to the camera next to him!!
He's excited!
So, so excited, he even spewed trash talk to Nelson: "Don't underestimate me, I've been training all this time, and now it's my turn to clean you up!! ”
"Do you think I don't know you're chilled?" Nelson said dismissively. Then he also tentatively inquired: "Xiao Sao must be injured now." That's why you get a chance to play. Don't get complacent for too long. When Xiao Shi returns, you'll have to roll back to the bench. ”
Nate Robinson has always been a simple-minded guy, but this time he didn't fall for Nelson's trap, and he deliberately said, "What if Xiao Xiao gets hurt?" He's wounded, and I can kill you in his place!! ”
When Nate Robinson said this, Nelson instantly forgot the depression of being robbed and smiled relaxedly. For him, the news of Xiao Xiao's injury was more beautiful than the gospel of God. It doesn't get any better news than this.
So, he quickly walked to the sidelines and shared the good news with Stan Van Gundy: "Coach, Xiao Po is really injured. I easily got the news from that stupid Nate Robinson, who had always had a problem with Shaw, and if Shaw hadn't been injured, he would never have gotten a chance to play. It seems that D'Antoni has regained control of the Knicks!! ”
"Hahahaha!" Hearing this, Stan Van Gundy could no longer hold back his old face and laughed out loud with relief. Dash is like a nightmare to him, as long as Dash is still in the moment. As an opponent, he didn't dare to relax in the slightest, but now Xiao has left. Only D'Antoni's idiot was left directing the tactics. What else is so scary? Just take the victory, it's much easier than picking peaches on the tree!!
Stan Van Gundy didn't take D'Antoni to the point at all, just as Nelson didn't put Nate Robinson on lightly.
In the first half, the Magic team was still filled with a mournful and victorious temperament, and now all that has been replaced by the feelings of 'proud soldiers'.
The gap between the two is upside down, but what causes this qiē is only Xiao Xiao's 'injury'.
In a relaxed atmosphere, the Magic team hit a ball with difficulty. Turkoglu missed an absolute open shot, but Howard desperately grabbed the rebound and made up for it...... This made David Lee very annoyed, he felt that he should have been able to grab this backcourt rebound, but after all, he was not experienced enough in the game during this time, and he was a little out of the way.
So, he slapped his palms hard, and after serving, he quickly ran to the front court, and he wanted to participate in the attack and get back to the court.
The Knicks didn't play the fast break that everyone took for granted at this time, but Stephen Marbury steadily controlled the basketball and pushed to the frontcourt, and after arriving in the frontcourt, Stephen Marbury didn't stick the ball and quickly passed to Nate Robinson.
As soon as Nate Robinson received the basketball, he played in the style of the Sanda King. Unreasonably rushed into the inner line, he was like a small steel cannon, squeezing into the inner line at full speed, although Nelson was also a small steel cannon, but it was still a little inferior to Nate Robinson, who had been practicing hard during this time.
So, Nate Robinson quickly rushed to the box and faced the basket close at hand...... He actually passed the ball, he actually threw the basketball high and passed it to David Lee.
David Lee was also a little stunned, but quickly jumped up and stuffed the basketball into the hoop...... A very simple dunk.
It was so simple that it felt unbelievably simple.
And Dwight Howard also thought it was incredible, he focused all his defensive attention on Nate Robinson, but he didn't expect this guy who never passed the ball to play such a beautiful assist, which was too unconventional!!
The audience at the scene also found it incredible...... Without Xiao Po, he could still score in the penalty area so easily? Is this still the Nix we imagined???
And chic is also incredible in the dressing room...... Nate Robinson's pass is a bit amazing, if I had his passing ability, how nice it would be!!
If Nate Robinson knew that Xiao Shi was envious of his passing ability, he would probably collapse directly, because his passing skills have been criticized since he came into contact with basketball, and many times it is not that he doesn't want to pass at all, but that he simply can't, or that he can't do that kind of passing at all.
But now Xiao Xiao still envies his passing ability.
You can see how bad the dashing pass is!
It's just terrible!!
