Chapter 400: The Second Match! It's getting more attention from fans!
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! “
"Roar! Roar! Roar! “
”MVP! MVP! MVP! “
The cheers throughout the Madison Garden arena endured.
After Allen Iverson scored that quasi-killer shot, the outcome was largely decided.
There were only a few seconds left in the game, and the difference was still four points.
The Pistons basically had no chance of tying the score.
It doesn't matter if the Knicks just let the Pistons shoot a three-pointer.
As long as you don't give your opponent a chance to add 3 plus 1, you can't lose!
And the Pistons players obviously don't have the ability to shoot two difficult three-pointers in a row in just a few seconds.
So even if you shoot a three-pointer and then take a foul tactic and make another shot, there is no chance to turn the tables.
Not to mention, the possibility that the Pistons want to pull off Allen Iverson and Jose Calderón.
There is no such possibility.
Of course, the Pistons didn't just give up.
After calling a timeout.
Sent the basketball out near the halfway line.
Chauncey Billups received a pass from his teammate and immediately forced a jump shot against Allen Iverson's defense.
It's just a pity.
This three-pointer, Chauncey Billups' big heart didn't make much of a difference.
The basketball smashed out of the basket and was robbed of the rebound by Da Yao.
After a few seconds, the whistle blew and the game was over.
The first game of this round of playoffs between the Knicks and the Pistons, on the home court of the Knicks, was won by the Knicks.
However, all the fans who watched the match understood it very well.
Both teams are strong!
It didn't take long for the video of the game to go viral.
Who can refuse this kind of hard-hitting, fist-to-flesh, hard-hitting competition? !
All the fans who watched the live broadcast of the match and, after the match, watched the video of the game on the web.
Or the fans who saw the replay of the game in front of the TV began to look forward to the next match between the two teams even more.
All of a sudden, the heat was very high.
There are even some fans shouting that this round of playoffs will become the most classic round of playoff competition this season.
Of course, this part is quieter.
After all, in the Western Conference, there is also the formation of F4, and for some reason, there is not the Los Angeles Lakers who are full of injuries as in the original course of history.
Naturally, the Spurs don't need to say much.
There is also the Houston Rockets, which just won the championship last season, and even after the departure of Da Yao and Han Ning this season, the strength has not dropped too much.
There are so many teams here, and they are shouting that the game between the Knicks and the Pistons is the most classic?!
It's a bit of.
Han Ning, who prefers to believe this statement, was deliberately circulated by someone.
As for who did it.
It's also easy to guess.
David Stern!
This kind of opportunity suitable for promoting the playoffs in the East, how could this little old man let it go?!
In recent years, the regular season and playoffs in the West have been more attractive than those in the East.
Finally, after Han Ning and Da Yao went to the Knicks, he found an opportunity to hype.
A Pistons team with good strength can just become a tool team to target.
It's reasonable to hype it up.
It is precisely because of this that the second playoff game a few days later also attracted the attention of more fans.
.............
A few days later, the second game between the Knicks and the Pistons arrived.
It's still the home court of the Knicks.
Only this time, the hearts of the players of both teams are much heavier.
There has already been a real fight.
Every player has a certain understanding of the quality of their opponents.
It's not the same as playing each other during the regular season.
At that time, both teams had just changed their head coaches and the squad was newly created.
The mutual cooperation, tacit understanding, tactics, etc. have not been thoroughly perfected.
Not to mention, the rhythm of the regular season and the playoffs are completely different concepts.
This is one of the reasons why there are occasionally classic and exciting scenes like Black Eight.
Therefore, in the last game, it can be regarded as a fact that these two teams have a deeper understanding of each other.
But the more you know, the more you understand what you're going to face next.
A fierce battle!
"Toot!"
The whistle blew and the game officially began.
There is no politeness.
After Da Yao successfully grabbed the ball in the jump ball, the Knicks launched a direct attack.
Because of this time, Han Ning didn't drill any more horns.
So the Knicks' offense is also very aggressive.
Allen Iverson, as the star of the house, naturally took over the ball for the first attack.
Facing Chauncey Billups' defense, he stretched out his hand without changing his face and called a block.
Then Kurt Thomas immediately ran out of the interior to cooperate.
Seeing this scene, Larry Brown couldn't help but start scolding his mother again.
It's not that Aaron Iverson is playing so sensibly now.
In the past, Allen Iverson didn't call for pick-and-roll coordination.
What he is unhappy about is why when he coached Allen Iverson, there were not a few strong interior players?!
Even if Aaron Iverson played sane at that time.
What's the use of no one to help?!
The more I thought about it, the more angry I became.
Turned his head to look at Han Ning.
Larry Brown's face sank, and he secretly cursed in his heart: "MD! If you have the ability, let's change it! “
If Han Ning knew what Larry Brown was thinking now, he would probably reply to him with a smile.
"What are you fart?!"
With the help of Kurt Thomas's pick-and-roll, Allen Iverson successfully shook off Chauncey Billups' defense, then rushed into the three-point line and jumped straight up.
"Huh!"
The opportunity to shoot in the open position, he naturally will not let go easily.
The Knicks scored two points first.
Subsequently, Allen Iverson led his teammates except Da Yao to quickly retreat to the defense.
This decisive speed made the Pistons players feel helpless.
Before the game, they did have a plan to use their speed to play quick counter-attacks.
After all, Da Yao's physical strength and running speed are one of the few shortcomings that the entire alliance knows.
If it can be leveraged, it will definitely be a good thing for the Pistons.
But they didn't expect that the Knicks would play so thoroughly in this regard.
I'd rather sacrifice the physical strength of the other four players than let Da Yao's physical strength drop too quickly.
Simply let the other four players speed up the pace of offensive and defensive transitions to avoid being beaten and counterattacked quickly.
And Da Yao still ran at his own pace.
This gives them no chance to try at all.
However, what the Pistons players didn't expect was that Han Ning's arrangement in this aspect was more than that!
