Maddie naturally noticed the provocation in Alan Iverson's eyes.

Maddie, who is determined to win the scoring title this season, will certainly not ignore such a provocation.

Stand near the baseline and reach for the ball.

Then dribble all the way to the frontcourt.

It turned out that the person in charge of defending himself was no longer José Calderón.

Replaced with Karim Rush.

Maddie doesn't get careless just because the player in charge of defending himself is a Knicks bench player.

Han Ning has been in the alliance for a few years, and he has long been famous.

He didn't believe that a head coach like Han Ning would make a meaningless defensive adjustment.

Sure enough.

Just as Maddy was just over a meter away from the three-point line, Karim Rush posted up to defend.

Looking at Karim Rush, who was pressing on himself, Maddie frowned slightly.

Try to dribble towards the back and open up some gaps.

But Karim Rush didn't give him that chance.

In this way, if you want to break through, it is not difficult.

But it's hard to get started.

In just an instant, Maddie made a decision in her heart.

Breakthrough!

Hit the basket and try to score!

Dribble with your right hand, and suddenly dribble from behind to your left hand.

Then, before Karim Rush could react, he rushed out with an acceleration.

Rushed straight to the basket.

Seeing this, Da Yao and Kurt Thomas stuck their positions, leaning on the two players opposite him while approaching Maddie.

Maddie rushed all the way to the basket and clasped the ball with both hands.

One step, two steps, take-off.

Holding the basketball tightly with both hands, he made a lever in the air in an attempt to dodge the blocks of Da Yao and Kurt Thomas.

However, with two people in the middle of the pack, it is difficult for even Maddie to avoid the help of two fierce players, Da Yao and Kurt Thomas.

“Ba

g！ "Bang!

The basketball in Maddie's hand was slapped out by Kurt Thomas.

The basketball was controlled by Allen Iverson.

However, Allen Iverson didn't play the fast break as before.

Instead, he slowed down the tempo, dribbled to the front court, and waited for everyone to get into place.

The 24-second attack time waited until there were seven or eight seconds left before the attack began.

Dribbling with his right hand, he rushed all the way to the right.

Jamil Nelson, who was in charge of defending Allen Iverson, had to do his best to keep up.

However, with Karim Rush's pick-and-roll cooperation, Allen Iverson still easily shook off Jamil Nelson's defense.

Then, before Maddie had time to change defenses, he rushed all the way to the basket.

Under the cover of Da Yao and Kurt Thomas, he easily completed the layup score.

Watch Aaron Iverson score a layup so easily.

Maddie's heart was unspeakably uncomfortable.

If he can have such teammates, he can be so relaxed and happy when he hits the basket!

Unfortunately, he didn't.

Thinking of this, Maddie set her eyes on Howard again.

Then he shook his head slightly.

It's not about disappointment or frustration.

After Howard was glanced at by Maddie, he was still a little unconvinced.

He still thinks if Madicon passes the ball to him.

I have long been able to recover the gap in the score.

can also prove to everyone that he is indeed not weaker than Da Yao!

But it's a pity.

Maddie is the boss of his own team and the one who has the right to speak in the locker room.

Howard, despite his high ego, doesn't try to provoke the team's star when he first enters the team.

So Maddie didn't pass the ball to him before.

Even if Howard has resentment and unhappiness in his heart, he can only endure it temporarily.

Turning around, the Magic attacked.

Maddie dribbles to the front court again.

Karim Rush then went on another close-quartering close-quarter.

It's still more than a meter away from the three-point line.

Seeing this, Maddie was extremely annoyed.

He gritted his teeth and wrinkled his nose.

Just pull the jump shot.

"Bang dang!"

Under the strong interference of Karim Rush, Maddie's shot was missed!

The rebound was in Kurt Thomas' hands.

Once again, Iverson lowered the tempo of the game.

After seeing this scene, Han Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

OK!

Maddie's good form was interrupted, and the rhythm changed.

In this way, the biggest difficulty for the Knicks to win this game can be considered solved.

For the rest, just follow the step-by-step memory.

Sure enough, in the next game, Maddie, who was fully targeted, failed to reproduce the classic 35.13 minutes scene in Han Ning's mind.

In this way, Han Ning and the Knicks have nothing to fear.

On the contrary, it was Maddie, but at this time, she clearly felt that her hand was not as hot as before.

On the Magic's side, both Maddie and Howard's offense have been hindered.

It was also difficult for the other players to be able to sustain an entire team's attacking force.

The offense can't be moved, and the defense is a bit unstoppable.

If you want to catch up with the score difference, it's a bit of a fool's dream.

On the Knicks' side, Allen Iverson successfully put the scoring burden on his shoulders.

Defensively, the two interior players plus Karim Rush have a very tight focus on Maddy's defense.

It's also a credit to assistant coach Mike Brown.

He usually collects some data from the league's Lee stars.

Crafting a defensive strategy that is targeted enough for a star like Maddie is the right way to do it.

In this way, it is impossible for the Magic team to chase points.

Even, not letting the Knicks pull the score difference even more is considered to be very hard.

Wait until the whistle blows at the end of the game.

The score between the two teams has come to 107-102.

With a 15-point lead, the Knicks successfully won the game!

However, the players of the Magic team seem to have a little bit of a hard time accepting this fact.

They sat down on the bench and began to reflect.

What is it that is the reason for losing this game?

looked at the players under him, one by one, looking dejected.

Magic head coach Johnny Davis slowly walked in front of the crowd.

As a veteran coach, he knows that his players need encouragement and confidence right now.

More need for a belief!

The belief that you will become stronger!

"Guys, all keep your heads up!"

As soon as Johnny Davis's words fell, the Magic players on the scene all focused on him.
