Chapter 119: Regret Lost

This time, Li Ming roamed around the free-throw line, looking for an opportunity to block Guy.

He pulled the ball to the left-hand side, Anthony saw the right time to make a flying pounce, and when he was about to touch the ball, Li Ming turned deftly and wiped it to the right, and at the same time switched to his right foot to jump and throw the ball into the air.

Seeing Guy break free from the defense, he leaped high in the air and completed the air catch under the cover of his teammates.

100-96 with 29 seconds left in the game.

The Knicks didn't call a timeout, and Anthony took the ball in the second half quickly, taking advantage of the double cover of Kidd and Felton to shoot a drifting three-pointer at 45 degrees on the right side.

100 to 99.

"He entered, he entered." The Knicks were boiling again at home, and crucially, this offense took less than seven seconds.

There are 22.6 seconds left in the race.

Coach Hollins used up the last timeout.

"Time is in our favor, the opponent will definitely use foul tactics, and at this time we just need not to make mistakes." Hollins was writing and drawing with a tactical board.

"At this point, I think he has to make sure that Mark and Zach are both inside, and at this time he has to protect the rebounds, and if there is a problem with the free throws, then he has to protect the rebounds." Van Gundy exclaimed.

At this time, the Knicks' bench also felt like a soldier was in the city, to be honest, from the players to the coaches, they didn't expect the game to be played to this extent, after all, the Knicks' strength on paper is not weaker than the Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies' resilience has really caused them a lot of problems, and now that time is running out, and the ball is in the hands of the opposing team, the situation is not optimistic.

"Rashid did a pick-and-roll with Cameron on the line and then quickly pulled it outside the three-point line, and you have to do everything you can to pull the opposing Marc Gasol to the outside." This is a crucial step.

D'Antoni clearly wanted to use the range of the Roaring Celestial Venerable to pull the opponent's gate out of the gate to make room for Anthony to break through.

Rasheed Wallace kept nodding his head, and the current tactic is very simple, delay the opponent's serve, and then try to steal in the fastest time, if it doesn't work, he will immediately foul, and be sure to control his attack time within 15 seconds.

In the next round, he grabbed first, and if he couldn't grab it, he fouled the opponent and made free throws.

Guy went to serve the sideline ball, Li Ming and Bayless came out from both sides at the same time, the ball was finally sent when the point was almost five seconds away, Bayless received the ball, the Knicks immediately stepped forward, and after a chaotic battle, the whistle sounded.

Three seconds passed and there were 19 seconds left to attack, and Bayless made a free throw.

Taking advantage of the gap in free throws, the Knicks replaced Tyson Chandler again.

"D'Antoni is still very old-fashioned, he uses Xiao Si when he attacks, and Tyson Chandler when he defends, and he plays very carefully." Van Gundy had an indescribable feeling that tonight's game was more than that.

However, he didn't say anything, just said very officially: Let's see who killed the deer tonight.

Bayless made the first free throw and the second free throw ...... Gone, the rebound was grabbed in Chandler's arms.

101 to 99.

The Knicks quickly called a timeout.

Bayless may still be too nervous, so he missed the second free throw, and that free throw could change the course of tonight's game.

Because if this free throw goes in, the Grizzlies will be much more relaxed, at least they can ensure that they are undefeated in regulation time.

If they don't score, the Knicks will have plenty of options in 19 seconds, and they can try a two-point chance to play quickly, or they can calmly look for open opportunities.

You can choose two points, you can also try a three-point from the outside, and even if you don't score, you can continue to foul and let the Grizzlies make free throws, and you still have a chance, because the Knicks still have a long timeout and a short timeout in their hands.

"Cameron, you look for opportunities at the left three-point line, and if they don't cover them, you go straight to the inside to finish them, and if they do, you give the ball to Novak on the outside or Amare on the inside." D'Antoni took on the backcourt combination of Novak and Kidd in this attack.

Felton sat on the sidelines, and it was he who was on the defensive when he was defending, and now he is using Novak in the attack, and D'Antoni's on-the-spot scheduling is still very clear.

When the timeout is up, players from both sides enter the field.

Guy followed Anthony with a serious face.

Kidd served, Novak stepped forward to catch the ball, and Anthony shook off Guy's defense before quickly pulling the ball out and standing outside the three-point line.

Everyone pulled away, and Hollins must have given him instructions to test Anthony in, but he couldn't give him three points, so both Anthony and Novak were standing next to defenders who couldn't leave an inch.

Xiao Si reached for the ball on the inside, Anthony looked up at the basket and quickly put the ball down, his left hand seemed to be injected with fairy energy, and deftly avoided Guy's upswing to the free throw line, and Guy immediately turned back.

The clock ticked by, and just as Guy turned around, Anthony hit the ball to Kidd behind him.

Li Ming hurriedly stepped forward and stuck to Kidd, Kidd made a shooting motion, and Guy was hung by Xiao Si's body.

Anthony ran to the other side outside the three-point line, Kidd took advantage of the situation to pass the ball, and Anthony glanced at the timer and made a decisive shot.

"Rudy's judgment was wrong and he fell into the trap of the opponent, he mistakenly thought that the basket Smalls would pull to the halfway line to block for Anthony, and he was Anthony who didn't choose to receive the ball at that time." Van Gundy said in one word.

Anthony received the ball with almost three seconds left, so he took the shot very calmly, and even dribbled the ball to avoid Bayless, who came up from the defense.

The ball drew a graceful arc in the air, and the lights were lit up at the moment of the shot, and the 190,000 people in the stadium held their breath at the same time, everyone was waiting for the final result.

"Brush!!" The Knicks still had the last laugh, and tonight's Anthony cut down 33 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists with ultra-luxury data.

Guy's efforts throughout the game couldn't stop him from making his last moves, and he looked a little lost. Randolph, Li Ming and others also stepped forward to comfort their friends for the first time. To be fair, he really did his best tonight, trying hard to pinn down Anthony every time he was aligned.

After the goal, Anthony did not celebrate for the first time, but generously stepped forward to hug his friend, comforting Guy, and the camera at the scene could clearly see Guy's expression, he was a little incredulous.

In that situation, the shot could still go in, and it was only 19 seconds before his team could smoothly walk away from Madison Square Garden.
