Chapter 208: New Yorkers Fighting to the Death! The biggest bet of Ewing's career!
"Come on, let me see how you can score 50 points on 30 percent shooting! Are you ready to shoot 70 times? Although Schmitz was uneasy and scared before he came on the court, the confidence he had developed in the past two games still gave him the courage to talk trash about Ewing!
"Huh!"
In response to Schmitz's trash talk, it was Ewing who raised his hand to hit a mid-range jumper, tonight, he is indeed full of confidence, and his shooting posture is no longer as disjointed and stiff as in the previous two games, and the long-lost feeling seems to have returned to his body!
"It's okay Rick, it's just a balloon! He couldn't have done it all! Lin Tian patted Schmitz's ass to comfort him, he didn't want Schmitz's hard-earned self-confidence to be beaten back by Ewing again.
"Don't worry, Lin! I'll kill him! Schmitz said as he ran towards the front: "Do you still block and dismantle?" ”
"Of course!" After Lin Tian finished saying with a smile, Schmitz blocked Starks again and leaked Ewing in front of Lin Tian, but this time, Johnson obviously received Van Gundy's instructions before the game, and he rushed to Lin Tian as soon as possible, and formed a bag with Ewing on Lin Tian!
"Wrap me? You really haven't watched any of our game footage! ”
Lin Tian said as he made a light pass from behind and gave the ball to Christie.
After Christie took the ball, he decisively pulled it up directly and shot a 3-point shot!
"Boom!"
It's a pity that bad luck didn't make it this absolute open ball opportunity, and Christie actually couldn't hit it.
Oakley pulled down the rebound, and then quickly found Starks, the number one commando captain in the 90s immediately launched a counterattack after getting the ball, regardless of Ewing's principle that he was not fast enough to play positional battles, and quickly jumped out of the frontcourt.
The Pacers, as experts in playing fast, naturally turned around quickly and defended, Lin Tian blocked Starks, and at the same time commanded Christie and Miller to block the Knicks' air cuts from left to right, not giving the opponent a vacant position.
As for Lin Tian himself, he posted Starks for the first time and didn't give him any chance to make a move!
But who is Starks?
The first reckless man in the 90s! He didn't care that Lin Tian was taller than him and stronger than him, he was charging all the way, and he went to the basket to force his shot against Lin Tian's defense!
"Smack!"
Although Lin Tian is not good at blocking, he has a strong ability to cut the ball! Seeing the right moment, he slipped the ball off with a slap before Starks even lifted it up!
The basketball that could be cut off was not picked up by Lin Tian, but was picked up by a Knicks player, and then jumped high after a step out: "Break it again!" ”
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, King Kong Ewing in New York shook his hands on the basket and roared hard, announcing that he was back full of blood!
The entire Madison Garden was filled with his excitement, and fans roared at Ewing in the same style!
"I'm sorry, Lin!" Schmitz didn't return to his position in time until this time, looking at Lin Tiandao, who had just hid aside in time and was not blocked by Ewing: "I'm not as fast as him." ”
"I don't blame you." Lin Tian's eyes looked at the arrogant Ewing, and snorted coldly: "If he wants to come hard, then let's come hard!" ”
In the next round, Lin Tian no longer cooperated with his teammates in blocking and dismantling, but held the ball past the aging Starks, directly entered the basket, and jumped up against Ewing!
No matter how you look at it, this ball Lin Tian wants to take revenge on Ewing for the violent dunk just now, and he wants to respond!
"Come on, boy! Let me see what you're up to! ”
Oakley and Ewing greeted Lin Tian on the left and right, and then jumped up almost at the same time!
Knicks double ghost knock on the door!
Don't talk about Lin Tian, even if it's Jordan, don't want to get benefits from it!
But Lin Tian didn't have a hard fight with these two guys at all, he was in the air, but the ball was under his waist! Lin Tian flicked his wrist, and the basketball went around Oakley's armpit and passed directly behind him.
"Boom!"
After a loud bang, the hoop drove the entire basketball hoop to shake violently!
There is absolutely no second person on the court who can deduct this effect on the court, except for Barkley, who is overweight!
"It's a beautiful forest!" After the goal, Barkley slapped the rebound heavily and high-fived Lin Tian!
He has a feeling that the two sides will definitely decide the winner on the inside tonight!
And with Barkley's dunk this time, the players on both sides can be regarded as completely warming up, and after finishing the warm-up exercise, they will naturally officially start the war!
In the next few minutes, the game was just as Barkley thought, and the Knicks reconstructed the traditional style of play with Ewing as the absolute core and the interior as the first fulcrum, and almost every ball would pass Ewing's hand, and it was up to him to decide how to attack.
And Ewing, who has recovered his form, has also completely played the level of his top center, shooting, breaking through, hitting strongly, and responding! Throughout the first half of the first quarter, Ewing was almost omnipotent, and he finally found his dignity and feeling in the game!
5 of 8 shots, 4 of 5 free throws, Ewing scored 14 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks very efficiently in the 10 minutes he played! Once again, he is the patron saint of New York! In the previous two games, he only took this data after he played the whole game.
Tonight's Ewing is resurrected!
In addition to Ewing's strong performance, Starks, who returned to the starting lineup, only made 2 shots, but all of them were difficult 3-point pulls, and he scored 6 points on both shots! Coupled with Houston, Johnson and others, the two scored 4 points each, and the Knicks scored 28 points in the first ten minutes of the game!
On the Pacers' side, Schmitz did not perform well tonight, he was fouled by Ewing early, although he shot 2 shots before the game, but he only got 4 points and 2 rebounds, fortunately, Barkley was in a brave state tonight, took over Schmitz's class, and was a big kill on the inside!
He made 4 of 5 shots, 2 free throws, and scored 10 points and 3 rebounds in a single quarter!
Miller and Christie were in the middle of the pack, scoring three and four points respectively.
Although Lin Tian did not score a particularly high score in the first ten minutes of the first quarter, he also scored 7 points and 5 assists, and on this night when the intensity was obviously different from the past, Lin Tian deliberately restrained his desire to perform, he sent 5 assists, but did not make a single mistake!
This is actually the reason why Lin Tian has become the league's assist king and the league's mistake king this season, but no one criticizes him for playing too fancy and flashy.
Most of Lin Tian's mistakes are concentrated in the first three quarters, and in the crucial fourth quarter or when the scores of the two sides are tight, Lin Tian rarely makes mistakes!
He knows exactly when to play and when to be serious!
In the first ten minutes of the match, the two sides played to a 28-28 draw!
And with Bird calling a timeout, the two sides are bound to start rotating for the next period of time.
"Patrick, hand!" As soon as Nick saw Ewing down, he immediately rushed over to check Ewing's wrist, he was really worried that Ewing would cause an injury that would affect his entire career because of his temporary softness.
Van Gundy next to him frowned, but didn't say much, but began to lay out tactics.
……
"Ben, can you stand it?" Bird looked at Ben, who had only played less than 4 minutes and was out of breath, and asked with some concern.
"It's okay! can withstand it, but the amount of activity is too great when you go up. Big Ben gasped and said, "Ewing tonight, it's really exciting!" Much ferocious than the Mexican chick I slept with a few days ago! But I can stand it! ”
"Excellent! In the case of Ewing outburst, your defense is crucial for us! Bird nodded, "Next, let's change our rotation!" The New Yorkers are obviously trying to get started, to catch the first half, and they're going to give it their all from the start to break us! ”
"If they want to hit us by surprise, then you have to be prepared to be beaten back by us! Next, Lin, Reggie, Joe, Doug, and Ben, the five of you go together! Run and rush for me! Unleash all your firepower for me! Let them know how good you are! ”
"The last 2 minutes! Let New Yorkers know what a damn offense is! ”
With the end of the timeout, the five people who were ordered by Bird walked onto the court together, this lineup of one big and four small, or four small and one small, can be said to be completely different from today's mainstream style of play!
It's popular now, but the inside is king, the higher the better, and the closer you get to the basket, the easier it is to score!
Although Jordan's multiple championships and the Bulls' lack of qualified centers can create a dynasty, the league and fans' perceptions have begun to change a little bit on the matter of being king on the inside, and there are also crazy coaches like Nelson Sr., who will play some novel tactics such as running and shooting.
But at the end of the day, these are not the mainstream ways of playing!
No one really thinks this style of play will work!
But now, Bird has put such a lineup on the lineup where no one in the whole team exceeds 203 centimeters.
Well...... If you add hair, the big book that has grown an explosive head is about 210 centimeters, but his actual height, Lin Tian said: I can't say! Absolutely unspeakable!
On the Knicks' side, sure enough, it was calculated by Bird again! They removed Oakley, took Childes, the Knicks also came with one big and four small, and now the five people on the court are all good offensive players!
But their big and four small are much more serious than the Pacers! Ewing is 213 cm higher than everyone else, not to mention, the rest of them are basically 198 cm standard forward height!
At least in terms of confrontation and physically, the Pacers are at a loss!
After pausing the first attack, Lin Tian faced Starks again, and in the face of this guy who was once called 'Jordan Terminator', Lin Tian was not afraid at all.
Jordan can kill him, and so can he himself!
After continuous crotch dribbling to find rhythm, Lin Tian suddenly took a hesitant step with a large change of direction, and once again easily passed Starks!
With the increase in age and injuries, Starks is no longer the good defender who can defend Jordan back then.
His current defense is only experience and hard work.
And sometimes, his hard work can have some counterproductive effects.
Like this ball!
After Lin Tian passed Starks, he was impacting while observing the situation on the field, after noticing that Starks did not give up but chased with all his might, Lin Tian suddenly slowed down, waited for Starks to take a step, and then at the moment when Starks couldn't brake and had a rear-end accident with himself, Lin Tian jumped up and made a move!
"Smack!"
After a muffled sound, Lin Tian was directly knocked out by Starks, but before he lost his center of gravity, he still gently flicked the ball out!
"Huh!"
As Lin Tian fell to the ground and slid down, the basketball also went into the basket accurately!
"Toot toot! 2 points valid, plus a free throw! ”
The referee's whistle sounded in a very timely manner, such an obvious foul, there was no need for any hesitation, Lin Tian played a very strong 2+1!
Walking to the free throw line, Lin Tian looked back at the annoyed Starks and said, "John, I heard that you used to be called Jordan Terminator?" I'm curious how you finished him, in the regular season? Because if I remember correctly, you didn't win a single Michael! ”
"Shut up!" Starx said with a gloomy face: "I will end you tonight!" ”
"How does it end? With this kind of rear-end accident, let me go to the free throw line all the time, and then let me make free throws until my hands go limp and I don't have the strength to do anything else? ”
"You're good at talking, but that's not going to get you a win!" Starx stood still and continued to spray with Lin Tian.
"Really? But I haven't lost even a series in my life? What about you? Every year you make the playoffs, you end the season with a losing series, right? Do you need me to show you my championship ring? ”
"Okay John, don't talk about it, you're going to say that my two rings were given to me by Michael, no problem, this year, this June I'll invite you to Indiana to watch our game, how about I'll let you see my brand new rings then?"
Lin Tian asked and answered himself, and Starx had nothing to say, he could only leave a dry sentence and walk and see, and then quickly ran to the front.
Another poor guy who was beyond his strength and was easily cut off by Lin Tian, trash talk was not Lin Tian's opponent at all!
"Huh!"
Lin Tian steadily scored the ball at the free throw line, and then he quickly turned around and returned to defense, no matter how fierce he sprayed just now, but how fierce the firepower of the Knicks lineup was, Lin Tian was clear!
You have to be careful!
As soon as he ran back to his own half and stood in front of Starks, Starks had already pulled it up!
At this point, Starks is still 2 meters away from the 3-point line!
Lin Tian really didn't expect that in this era, besides him, there would be anyone who dared to shoot like this!
Or under a coach as rigid as Van Gundy.
"Huh!"
After a crisp sound, Starks hit his third three-pointer of the quarter!
"Boy, I'm going to end you like this! Didn't you want me to show me your championship ring? Come on! Beat me and let me see! Starks glared at Lin Tian, looking like he was going to fight Lin Tian to the death!
This is the Knicks' strategy!
It's also the strategy that many teams use against the Pacers these days.
A calm and rational Lin Tian, who can score and pass the ball, is really difficult to deal with! If you can make him lose his mind and work alone, although he can score a lot of points, it seems that he is much easier to deal with than him, who has a perfect combination of passing and attacking!
"You're dead!" Lin Tian's eyes were shining, looking like Lao Tzu was going to tear you bastard apart now, aggressive dribbling with rhythmic feints, Starks tried his best to not let himself be shaken by Lin Tian.
But just when the two of them came to the 3-point line, Lin Tian paused slightly, and the moment Starks was just relieved, the ball in Lin Tian's hand suddenly passed out!
It's the bottom corner again, it's Miller again, it's Christie's cover again!
"Huh!"
A crisp sound came, and Miller hit another 3-pointer!
This tactic of catching the ball and shooting directly with the help of cover, Miller and the Pacers have played an unknown number of times this season!
Lin Tian's passing always reassures Miller, he knows that as long as he can run out of space, the basketball will definitely come to his hands!
"You think I'm going to go it alone with you?" Lin Tian looked at Starks and said with disdain: "You are also worthy?" A little ant who said a few trash words and wanted to make me lose my mind? Who do you think you are? Michael Jackson or President of the United States? ”
"You're just a wretched creature who can't even start and has come to the end of your career! If I were a Knicks owner, I wouldn't even consider retiring your jersey! Because that would bring down Bernard King, Earl Monroe, and Willis Reed! ”
"They don't want to be hung on the ceiling of the arena with you!"
"Ball!" Lin Tian's string of trash talk successfully angered Starks!
Taking the initiative to provoke Lin Tian not only failed to provoke Lin Tian, but was angered by Lin Tian!
Starks' eyes erupted into fire, and he quickly came to the front court with the ball, and then gestured for all his teammates to pull him away.
Then, this guy didn't care about it, he directly pulled out the starting point and rushed to the inside line against Lin Tian, and then when he was near the free throw line, he suddenly stopped, pulled up and shot directly with a jump shot!
Even if Lin Tian's ball was not shaken away by him at all, it was completely in front of him, and his palm could almost be pressed against Starks' shooting hand, but Starks just threw it!
"Huh!"
1 second later, this stiff pull-up jump shot landed in the bag with precision! Starks hits a difficult fairy ball again!
With this kind of ball style, this kind of easy-to-get character, the number one nerve knife and double-edged sword in the 90s is really worthy of its name!
"Come on, boy! Defend me! Let me see how you became the overall champion! You can't kill me with just these two clicks! After Starks scored, he became more and more arrogant, and yelled at Lin Tian: "Just rely on passing, don't try to beat me!" ”
"Really?" Lin Tian was still in the middle of the court at this time, but while saying this, he suddenly straightened his waist and threw the ball towards the Knicks' basket with both hands!
I don't know when Christie, who shook off Johnson and finished stealing, has rushed to the basket, he jumped up skillfully, grabbed the basketball with both hands and slammed it into the basket!
An aerial relay dunk that spans half the court was born!
"Look, it's all 2 points, I'm easier than you, more freehand than you, and even better looking than yours!" Lin Tian shrugged his shoulders and looked at Starks and said, "Against you, it's not my turn to shoot at all, and I can blow you all up!" ”
"We'll see!"
Between words, Starks once again asked for the ball towards the bottom line, he wanted to continue to single Lin Tian, he wanted to beat Lin Tian until he was convinced, and he couldn't spew trash talk anymore!
This time, Starks fought all the way to the basket against Lin Tian's defense, and then when Lin Tian completely covered all his shooting angles and shooting space, this guy suddenly half-turned around, turned his back to the basket and Lin Tian, and then threw the basketball towards the basket like Hu Tou!
"Huh!"
There was another crisp sound, and this time, even Lin Tian couldn't help but curse a dirty word!
It's like this basketball was raised by Starks.
It's like with precision guidance, how to throw it, how to go to the basket!
Lin Tian even wanted the referee to come over and see if there was a magnet in this basketball, which fell into the basket!
It's amazing! This guy seems to be in a state of killing all sides tonight!
However, Lin was still not in a hurry, and then two rounds, Starks all chose to single Lin Tian, and all scored the ball when Lin Tian's defense was in place, one of these two goals was Starks was forced to death by Lin Tian at the free throw line, and after his feet kept moving and his body kept colliding, he finally got an inch of space and reluctantly shot.
One time, Starks hit the basket, with Big Ben in front and Lin Tian behind, and scored the ball with an incredible hook in the crack!
And when this hook is scored, the first quarter of the game has also come to an end!
In the entire first quarter, Starks shot 7 of 7 and scored 17 points!
Such a crazy performance, but it didn't give the Knicks the lead.
Because in the interval between his consecutive hits of these two balls, Lin Tian also hit a mid-distance, and once again found Big Ben and assisted Big Ben to dunk successfully!
Lin Tian also got 12 points and 8 assists in the first quarter!
Starx madness? Then drive him crazy!
Lin Tiancai won't go crazy with him, the Pacers are not to the point where they want to play crazy with Starks, they play the most correct and rational offensive basketball!
Their scoring is effortless, with few fairy balls and difficult goals!
This kind of offense is obviously much more reliable than the Knicks' individual binge.
In particular, Starks is not Jordan, nor Kobe, nor Iverson, he can't maintain a 100% shooting rate throughout the game and keep hitting fairy balls!
Even, even if Starks' play is no different from God coming directly to the court, the Knicks are still 1 point behind in the first quarter!
39:40!
It's true that the Pacers can't guard the Knicks, but the Knicks want to guard the Pacers? That's obviously not possible!
At this moment, Van Gundy's face on the field was very ugly, he bit his lip, and he had a lot of bad premonitions in his heart.
He felt that this match was simply a replica of the first game between the two sides!
It's the Knicks who have a perfect feel as soon as they come up, and they keep shooting the ball, but they can't get rid of the Pacers at all, because the Pacers can also send the ball into the basket reasonably in various ways!
As the game deepens, the players' physical strength and state decline, when the Knicks can't guarantee their supernatural shooting rate, the Pacers can still rely on their rationality and sanity to continue to send the ball to the basket!
It is impossible for the fairy ball to be accurate for a whole game, but fast-break dunks, empty shots, and violent dunks under the basket can allow players to score steadily when their physical condition is declining!
Van Gundy didn't want this game to be like that one, the fairy ball opened the way at the beginning and couldn't open the score, and at the end the feeling dropped and had no choice but to lose.
Can...... What to do?
Van Gundy thought as he couldn't help but look back at Ewing, this guy played the first quarter today, and before he could sit down, he was checked by Nick's wrist again.
Is this guy's hand good? If so, why is Nick in such a hurry to check? If not, how can he be in such good shape?
Could it be ......
Van Gundy couldn't help but frown, he had a not-so-good premonition.
When Nick finished checking Ewing's palm, the guy ran over and said, "Coach, I don't have to rest in the second quarter, I can continue to play!" We have to catch up with the score while we still have enough energy, and then we can take the lead as far as we can and pull the score away! ”
"Patrick, are you alright? Your hand ......" Van Gundy looked at Ewing with a look of suspicion.
"It's okay, it's Nick who makes a fuss and always worries about my wrist, but it's completely healed! I even had a super friendship with him last night, and guess what? It's so fast! He's back to the top! ”
Ewing's pretended relaxed appearance did not relieve Van Gundy's doubts, but he still nodded and said: "In the second quarter of the game, Patrick, Charry, Larry, Charles and Chris, the five of you will play together." ”
"Damn, it's not you Celles, it's another, don't you think what we need now is a striker? Chris Mills, you're on! Remember, in the second quarter, let's slow down and stop shooting those difficult shots! Fight tactics, fight positional battles! ”
"Keeping the tempo down and running is what the Indianaans are good at, and we've got Patrick, we're playing positional battles, we're playing baskets! Use height and weight and confrontation to deal with them! Got it? Fight with them in hand-to-hand combat, muddy combat, and fight with them! Torture them, you know? ”
"Charles, your responsibility is the greatest! Remember, whether it's offensive or defensive, don't leave the basket and the three-second zone! And, every time we attack, if we don't score, then you go for a rebound, and if we score, you interfere with their serve! See what I mean? ”
"Don't let them serve fast, don't let them play fast?" Oakley is also an old man, and he immediately understood what Van Gundy meant and thought.
Van Gundy's solution, this is it!
Since we are destined to fight the Pacers on offense, it is not better than offense! Use what we're good at, use what the 'New York Gangs' made famous to fight the Pacers!
To put it simply: press the rhythm, add confrontation, play under the basket, grab the rebound!
On the Pacers' side, Bird looked at his players and said: "If Van Gundy is not an idiot, he must have reacted, he is not our opponent when he fights against him, he can only support for a while with the difficult fairy ball, but he can't win the game!" ”
"So in the second quarter of the game, the Knicks will definitely pick up their best defense and slow half-court position to play against us, they will press the rhythm very slowly, and there will be a lot of physical confrontation! And this is their home stadium and they will have some advantage at the whistle, so we will have a very tough second quarter! ”
"Remember, the most important thing about playing with a Knicks like this is to be calm! No matter what actions they use against you, no matter what trash words they spray in their mouths, you must be calm! This is Madison, and no matter how fair the referee is, it will definitely not be good for us! ”
"Don't worry, Larry, in my life, I am the only one who breaks other people's mentality, and no one has ever been able to disturb my mentality!" Lin Tian stood up with a smile and said, "I can continue to go up!" The Knicks, for their part, will definitely not let their main force rest! ”
"Lin is right! I've been playing for 20 years, and I've always been the only one who has broken other people's mentality, so how can someone else break me down? Even if it's Michael! It's the same that I squirted him to crash! Miller followed suit and stood up.
"Reggie, when did Michael get squirted by you? Didn't he defeat you every time? Barkley stood up curiously and said, "Can the loser still squirt the winner into collapse?" ”
"Shut up, fatty! You are a waste of 40+ points per game that he brushed, but if you give your strength, Michael will not be able to win his third championship! Miller snorted, disdainful.
"What about you? You're amazing, you won't have a chance to meet Michael! You don't even have a chance to be defeated by him! ”
Seeing that these two people were about to spray all the way to the court again, Lin Tian patted the two people: "Win this round of the series, and then let's go to the Eastern Conference Finals and Michael well!" Let him know what failure is! ”
"This time, we're taking back everything that belongs to us!"
"Not bad! Take them all back! As soon as Miller and Barkley heard that they could beat Jordan, they immediately stopped bickering and walked towards the court with Lin Tian.
"Did I say you three are going to play?" Bird rolled his eyes and scolded, "Why don't you three discuss it and choose someone to be the coach?" ”
"Won't you be able to get a salary for nothing?" Barkley smacked Bird again.
The angry Bird immediately scolded: "You dead fat man, do you really think Lao Tzu forgot about your rookie season and fighting with me with that idiot of Owen?" Do you believe that Lao Tzu wears little shoes for you? So you won't be able to play in the future? ”
"What's the most important thing about a top manager and a top manager, do you know Reggie?" Lin Tian suddenly smiled evilly and said, "Thick-skinned! Look at our Larry, he can describe that brawl as a fight, which shows how thick-skinned he is! That time, he was beaten at all! Of course, the level of Charlesla's bias is also among the top in the league! ”
"Where, where, it's just a little gadget, it's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning!" Barkley scratched his bald head and smirked, it was really a bit honest.
“FUXX! Get out, get out of here! I don't want to see you three! Ben, Doug, you two too, if the two of you can't stand the three of them, you can just beat them up! I promise not to ban or fine you. ”
After Bird finished ordering, he sat on his bench angrily, and Lin Tian, who teased Bird, also got another 50 experience points from Bird as he wished, happy!
"Isaiah, tell me why young people nowadays are such bastards? Don't you have a little respect for your manager? ”
"Larry, you're mistaken." Thomas shrugged his shoulders with a wicked smile and said, "My generation doesn't respect you either!" Have you forgotten that if you were black, you would be a rookie that my grandmother couldn't beat? ”
“FUXX!” Bird cursed again, hugged his arm, and stopped talking.
Is there a second head coach in this league who is so aggrieved? From the players to the assistant coaches, all of them have nothing to say to him?
Tonight, curfew!
Damn it! There must be a curfew tonight!
Want to go to New York? Want to get a feel for the hustle and bustle of New York City?
Feel the fart!
Let's be honest in the room!
Then, I'll go out and play by myself, Uncle Larry!
Hey!
On the Knicks' side, there is no such good atmosphere as the Pacers, and after Ewing and the others walked onto the court, Van Gundy, who had a solemn face, immediately pulled the team doctor Nick over: "Nick, tell me honestly, what happened to Patrick's wrist!" ”
"Wrist? It's nothing, isn't he playing? Nick paused, then gave the answer.
"I'm stubborn and old-fashioned and have no sense of humor, but I'm not stupid! Nick, I know you, I've known you since I was an assistant coach, and if Patrick was okay, you wouldn't rush to his side and look at his wrist at every timeout! ”
"Tell me the truth! What the hell happened to Patrick! ”
"Hey, okay." Nick knew that he must not be able to hide it anymore, he looked at Van Gundy and said, "Actually, you should have guessed." ”
"You damn bastard, you really locked up Patrick?" Van Gundy's eyes immediately widened, and he scolded, "You quack doctor with no medical ethics! Who allows you to give Lao Tzu's players a closed one! Can you afford to be responsible? What if Patrick's injury gets worse? You goddamn idiot! ”
"Fired you! I'm going to fire you when the game is over! You don't deserve to be on my team! ”
"Jeff, I think you should calm down, you have said that you understand me, do you think I am the kind of person who directly closes the players regardless of it?" Nick didn't get angry in the face of Van Gundy's outburst, but sighed and said, "Patrick asked for it, I really can't refuse him." ”
"He said that this is the last time he is close to his dream in his life, and he hopes I can help him."
Nick's words stunned Van Gundy, who was jumping up and down.
The last time you got close to your dreams?
Ewing's Injury ...... Is it that serious?
Is he no longer confident that he will be back on the pitch next year?
Van Gundy looked at Ewing and fell into a deep tangle.
He's the manager and he knows better than anyone what closure is!
To put it simply, this is a painkiller, the ultimate painkiller, which can directly block and seal people's pain, which is similar to anesthetics.
However, he does not treat or relieve injuries, his role is to seal off the pain, so that the human brain does not feel the pain.
But I just don't feel the pain, and the pain is still happening!
It's not a good thing to not feel pain in sports!
If you can't feel it, it means that you don't know if the injury has worsened, it means that you don't know if a certain action has torn the wound, and you don't know if your injury will completely collapse at a certain moment!
It's a way to make a fool of yourself, it's a way to get athletes to gamble and gamble everything.
After all, no one knows what will happen to a closed player when they don't feel pain.
There are many athletes who want to force themselves on the field because of their injuries, and then give themselves a stitch to close them, and then, they will never be able to reach the peak, never return to their most peak state, and even leave the field forever!
Top stars such as Tracy McGrady, Deron Williams, Blake Griffin, ordinary stars such as Serge Ibaka, role players such as Wayne Weaver, including the eternal pain in the hearts of Chinese fans, and the CBA's MVP four-character foreign aid Xiao Ding.
These players who were once famous and famous all over the world were each forced to play because of their enthusiasm and luck, which led to a sharp turn in their careers and a rapid decline.
Moreover, not only on the basketball court, but also on other courts, there are also countless examples of completely saying goodbye to the peak because of a closed needle.
For example, Brazil's Kaka, France's Umtiti, and another pain in the hearts of Chinese fans: Dong Fangzhuo.
These football players are also because of a stitch closure, which has led to the speed of light decline in their careers.
From any point of view, closure is not an antidote at all, but a poison, a poison that can make a player find his form in a game, but he can lose his entire career!
Van Gundy couldn't have imagined that Ewing had made such a big determination because of this game, and at the same time he hated himself, he didn't find Ewing's abnormality earlier, and now that the game has been played for a quarter, he knows that Ewing actually gave himself a stitch.
Thinking of the Pacers' vicious fouls on Ewing's wrist in previous games, Van Gundy had an urge to call a timeout immediately, let Ewing come down, and not play again in this game.
He's stubborn, he's slow-moving, he's been caratized by many as dogmatic and ideologues who can't play basketball, and that's right.
But Van Gundy is also a coach who genuinely cares about his players.
He really didn't want Ewing to have some irreversible serious injuries under his hands.
