Chapter 47: "Iron Blood" Basketball (3)

It's not uncommon for Patrick Ewing and Alonzo Mourning to be at odds with Georgetown University.

Pushing each other twice, Ewing dunked and was pulled in the past, Larry Johnson and Mourning have always had a bad relationship, and the stuffy head rushed to the basket because he really wanted to punch his former teammate twice.

PJ-Brown saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly stopped "Big Mom", still shouting:

"Man! What do you want! ”

In the game broadcast live in the United States, the referee also acted quickly and quickly stepped forward to separate everyone.

"Auntie" looked at her former teammates with an unkind expression, Mo Ning realized that she was almost attacked, and the two began to stare at each other again without speaking.

The fans who watched the excitement at the scene were a little disappointed at first, and then calmed down, 14:4, the Knicks were still 10 points behind...

Seeing Ewing hit both free throws, Jeff Van Gundy on the sidelines was completely relieved.

After receiving the ball in the backcourt, Hardaway noticed that everyone in the Knicks had completed the retreat, and immediately made tactical gestures.

Li You, who had already retreated to half-time, immediately reminded Charles Oakley loudly:

"Don't let him easily catch the ball in the low post on the left side!"

The old guy also knew that Li You had a good memory, and when he heard the reminder, he immediately understood that the other party wanted to hit Mo Ning again, and the defense began to stalk, and the whole person was about to hang on Mo Ning...

Just as Li You predicted, the two big men simply crossed the cover on the baseline, and then Mourning came to the left low post to ask for the ball.

Oakley, who had been prepared, continued to chase after the defense, while PJ Brown moved to the free-throw line after making a screen.

Li You knows that these moves of the Heat team are fake, and this kind of high-low coordination is often used by the Knicks, and the tactics of the two teams can be said to look at each other...

“Defense! Defense! Defense! ”

The Madison Square Garden Arena once again sounded the sound of defensive cheers, and outside the three-point line, Li You tried to cover Hardaway with his body and not give the opponent a chance to pass the ball easily.

By the halfway point of the offensive time, after Hardaway delivered a low-quality lob pass, Mourning had been pushed low post by Oakley.

Against Oakley's defense, Mourning clattered on the left near the baseline, approached the paint area, and threw his right hand!

"Bang!" One more hit!

The fans immediately cheered loudly, and Ewing retracted the basket in time, stuck PJ Brown behind him, and struggled to protect the backcourt rebound.

When Li You received the ball again, Hardaway stepped forward for the first time, and then stopped leading the defense, and quickly retreated with his teammates.

The Heat's defensive discipline was excellent, and Lee You, who had dribbled past half court, also frowned secretly.

It was also Ewing's blocking at the top of the arc, and PJ Brown strictly guarded Ewing's down, and the speed of this defense slowed down.

Hardaway, who was delayed, saw Li You wrap the ball around his back sharply, and after switching to his left hand, he pressed his center of gravity very low, and before he could remind his teammates, Li You, who was catching the ball with his left hand, quickly went in and out, and shook his right and left thrust.

The bewildering shaking during the march made PJ-Brown stunned in place, and he could only watch Li You rush to the basket!

The Heat's defense was layer after layer, and at the moment when Li You broke through to the paint area, Mourning had already come up to help.

Li You didn't choose to pass the ball, slowed down slightly and rushed to the basket, and after the emergency stop, he raised the ball with his left hand and shook it, Mo Ning didn't think much about it, and jumped high with his body instinctively...

Seeing Li You twisting dexterously with his right foot as the axis in the air, Mo Ning was so angry that he cursed secretly, and just after landing on the ground, he just saw Li You easily throwing his right hand under the basket!

At 14:8, the difference was narrowed to 6 points.

"Oh!!"

The wonderful goal instantly ignited the atmosphere in Madison Square Garden, and when he saw Li You retreating, he smiled and nodded his head with his right index finger, and the fans also followed loudly.

The atmosphere on the scene did not affect the Heat's offense, and it was still a step-by-step running tactic, pulling the Knicks' defense through the deeper positions of the big man.

This time, Mourning received the ball very deeply, and seeing that Oakley's defense was out of position, Ewing subconsciously moved to help defend, and PJ Brown at the free throw line got a chance and hit a mid-range jumper...

Jeff Van Gundy on the sidelines couldn't come up with a good solution, only to shout a shoutout to the players to focus on strengthening their defense.

If you want to tie the point difference, you must first defend the opponent, and the Heat team is obviously prepared, Hardaway has insisted on squeezing through the cover, and the delay of the big man is getting bigger and bigger.

Guarding against Lee's three-pointer did come at a cost, and Oakley hit two straight points on two consecutive rounds to receive a pass from Lee Woo in the left and right elbows of the free throw line.

But the Heat responded on the offensive end, with Sasha Danilovic getting away from Alan Houston's defense and making a jumper from beyond the three-point line...

At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks made personnel rotations, but they were still dragged out by the Heat's slow-paced offense and high-pressure defense.

PJ Brown struggled to grab rebounds every round, and Mourning was not afraid of confrontation, and repeatedly entangled with Oakley under the basket.

It wasn't until Hardaway made a pass error and Lee Woo made a steal and assisted Alan Houston to throw in a conversion three-pointer that the Knicks completed their first transition offense of the game.

With 19 seconds left in the first quarter, Jeff Van Gundy shouted a shoutout to hold on, only to see PJ Brown miss the basket and grab the offensive rebound again.

At 24:18, there are still 6 points left.

Li You, who returned to the bench, cursed in his heart, Pat Riley is not a man, and the Heat's starting 5 played a full 12 minutes...

"PJ Brown had seven rebounds in the first quarter, including four frontcourt rebounds."

"It's unbelievable that we're going to lose rebounds, and the Heat have completed their metamorphosis this season!"

Commentator John Andalis felt that tonight's game was completely dominated by the opposing side, and the Knicks rarely won games when they lost rebounds...

'We started down too much and obviously our coaching staff wasn't prepared enough, but of course the lads were great and Lee came on and regrouped the attack.

Commentator Marv Albert had nice things to say, and after glancing at his partner, he felt that the game was going to be cold.

After the start of the second quarter, Li You saw that Hardaway was still on the court, and his heart was speechless, obviously, Pat Riley just wanted to win in New York...

The Heat took the lead in attacking, making 0-of-4 in the first quarter of the game, and Hardaway, who scored 2 points from the free throw line, became the team's main attacker at this time.

In the first round, facing Li You's defense at the top of the arc, he lowered his center of gravity, quickly dribbled the ball under his hip with his right hand, and then quickly completed the forward change of direction.

Hardaway instantly grabbed half of his body, accelerated his breakthrough with the ball in his right hand, and suddenly stopped at the free throw line, facing Li You's block, and made a quick stop jump shot!

Using his signature moves to complete the attack, Hardaway was in a good mood, shaking his head and mocking:

"Look at the rookie, this is how the crotch dribble is played!"

Li You didn't make a sound, took the baseline ball, quickly used half the court, came to the right flank, and immediately passed the ball to Starks at the top of the arc.

Lee then moved quickly laterally from right to left, taking advantage of veteran Buck Williams' cover to briefly escape Hardaway's pursuit.

On the left wing outside the three-point line, Li You received a return pass from Starks and immediately raised the ball to shake.

Hardaway, who was chasing the defense, was almost shaken up and jumped, and when he saw Li You breaking through with the ball in his right hand, he hurriedly adjusted his body's center of gravity and slid desperately to the left rear.

Li You, who had just used the three-point line and lowered his center of gravity, quickly dribbled under his crotch, and immediately changed direction slightly in advance while Hardaway was defending.

Hardaway, who followed his body to make an instinctive defensive reaction, was instantly attacked to support his feet in front of the defense, and then tried to move to chase the defense, but he was mixed with garlic under his feet and almost sat on the floor...

With his right hand supported with one hand, Hardaway barely let himself fall to the ground, but at this time he had completely lost his defensive position, and could only watch Li You pass himself and score easily with a mid-range pull-up jumper.

“Killer Crossover! That's how crotch dribbling is played! ”

Hardaway, who had just stood up, heard Li You's whisper in front of him, and was completely angry:

"Fark!"

Hardaway viciously stepped forward and pushed Li You, and then picked up his right fist, wanting to teach the rookie a lesson that made him lose face.

Li You also reacted quickly, dodging the opponent's fist on one side, and then twisted and fell, and the two fell to the floor near the bottom line at the same time.

"Fark!"

Hardaway fell into a daze, heard a curse in his ear, and then received an old punch in the face...

The New York fans at the scene were still cheering for Li You's goal, and in the blink of an eye, the two scuffled on the floor, and after an exclamation, the cheers began to resound in the stadium.

Before Jeff Van Gundy could react on the sidelines, Larry Johnson rushed over:

"Shet! Stop, don't fight! ”
