Chapter 638: Fight Without Reservation!
66:64! The two sides had a fierce confrontation! Happily, the Knicks were not knocked down by the other side. However, there is only a 2-point difference, which shows that the opponent has been looking for opportunities to lead New York!
For the general belief that the Knicks will play for example, when they lost to the Clippers, they have been able to play so far, which has surprised fans and some media. In the next game, Chen still fell into thinking.
First of all, he wants the team to win. But if you play in this state, it is estimated that the following games will be more or less hanging.
......
"I feel compelled to talk to you. Because if you don't make it clear, it might affect your performance in the second half. Chan came to the dressing room and said to his players.
"Have you been active lately since you played? ~" Baker immediately said with a smile. Many of them laughed right away.
"Haha, this can be satisfied. But let me start with my thoughts. Do you want to win tonight's game now? "It was as if Chen was talking about something else.
"Of course! But it's not so easy to win against them," Hardaway Jr. said slowly.
"That's right, in the end, I tell everyone, it's likely that they will lose again. Do you still want to win? The Clippers aren't soft persimmons. After Chen finished speaking, he obviously felt that the atmosphere around him had suddenly quieted down.
"I want to win! Coach, will you let me play this section," Porzingis said to his manager with a blank face.
"Won't"
"I want to win. I feel more confident in you now, what about everyone? Nelikina spoke at this point.
"Okay, I'll let me command you for a while, let's go" After coming to the sidelines, the players felt that they were about to have a fierce battle with each other! Not to mention the current Clippers' previous special team, even the veterans of Houston are enough for them to drink a pot......
"Noah and Kante, defend me! If Griffin was still on the court, he would have scored quickly. Then it's up to you to be able to do that. On the outside, the other party should pay attention to Beverley. If he's not there, he'll play quickly! If Beverley is on the court, be careful to protect the ball......"
The Knicks players who came on the court in the third quarter were Kanter, Noah, Beasley, Hardaway Jr., and Ntilikina. The players behind still have a certain amount of security in attack. In order for Jack to be not too physical in the team in the fourth quarter and to be able to play a role, he is not going to be brought up in this quarter.
The difficulty in this section is that there are too many great players. Then the last section is not guaranteed. You can only fight with the opponent on the outside.
On the Clippers' side are Griffin, Gallinari, Decker, Lowe and Beverley! This lineup looks like it's going to end up for the Knicks in this quarter! The team as a whole is more offensive!
Beverley can also quickly pose a defensive threat to the opposition after organizing the team! The rest of the players are good offensively! Ntilikina took the serve and went to the frontcourt, and Besley got the basketball first and jumped up and was directly interfered with by Decker!
Gallinari immediately went over and got the rebound and rushed straight over! Griffin hits a three-point shot after receiving a pass on the other side! 67:66! The opponent was also very resolute at the beginning of this section!
In the first and second quarters, they were suppressed by the opposing team, which made some of the team's players very annoyed! The nature coach is also not very good-natured. And the players took that fire out directly on the Knicks!
Hardaway Jr. passed the ball past half-time to Ntilikina. He just felt empty after he was about to start! When I turned around, I saw that Beverly had already run out almost two meters away!!
This kind of performance and speed scared the players of their team! At this time, there were still cheers at the scene! Beverley has very good defensive ability, and many star players in the league have been hit!
Break the ball, dribble, and go to the basket in one go! 69:66! The players on the Clippers bench had a great time watching!
Hardaway Jr. walked over and got the basketball and slowly made his way to the frontcourt. Under the help of Lowe and Beverley, Hardaway Jr. used his feints to deceive the opponent's defense, and then jumped directly and hit a three-point shot! 69:69!
The scene immediately erupted in enthusiastic cheers! If there are no surprises, this goal can be in the top 10 of the week!!
"This is my home turf!" Hardaway II said this in his heart, and went back quickly.
Lowe held the ball across the halfcourt, Griffin took two steps forward next to Kante to get the ball, and then turned back and hit a direct 2-point shot! 71:69! After Kante finished this round, I felt that although the guys in front of me were not tall, their footwork, strength and accuracy were good!
So far this season, Griffin has averaged 24.3 points, 8.5 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game! Now he is also determined to enter the playoffs with the team again with the condition of his physical condition! The regular season was not quite enough for him. But at this time, he can quickly hone himself so that he can occupy a certain advantage in the later games!
And how does the management of the Clippers look at Griffin now, how comfortable is Griffin~ This guy returned to Los Angeles after a year with the Nets, and his grades not only did not decline, but improved a lot! Playing very hard! Players like Griffin basically don't have any controversy over the right to shoot after getting the team's maximum salary contract for a year.
But this season, he seems to be playing harder than he used to be with the Clippers! After constantly increasing and improving his skills, he made many teams blush when they watched Griffin play on the field! And Griffin knew in his own heart what he wanted!
Ntilikina passed the ball to Hardaway Jr. after half-time. After Noah took the basketball, he dribbled the ball directly and immediately jumped high to dunk and score points! 71:71!
Beverley quickly passed half court, and his speed made the players on the Knicks side nervous immediately! Gallinari jumped up and hit a three-point shot as soon as he picked up the basketball! 74:71!
Ntilikina took Noah's pass in the bottom corner of the field and immediately returned one! After Decker misses a shot, Kanter immediately jumps high to get the basket and passes it to Beasley! After hesitating when Hardaway Jr. asked for the ball, he passed it out!
Facing Beverley's defense, Hardaway Jr. hit a three-point shot directly! 77:74! Griffin pulled out a three-pointer no. Noah got the rebound, Hardaway Jr. took the basketball and quickly passed the ball to Beasley, who was half-court. Dunk directly in front of no one to score points!
The atmosphere at the scene was already very warm at this time! The opposing coach was walking on the sidelines at this time. Lu Wei hit a three-pointer directly in the half! 79:77!
There's something that's not going to be cool about him right now, is this kind of lineup that can't suppress the Knicks now? Thinking of this, he immediately thought of Chen Yinan. Then he shook his head slightly.
Nelikina and Hardaway Jr. spoke a few words and then quickly passed half-time. While whirling with the opposing guard, Ntilikina took the basketball and jumped directly to the net with a long-range 2-point shot! 81:77! The performance in the last game made the Clippers wary of Hardaway II!
That's why I feel like it's time to grab their attention and get the ball to Ntilikina! At this time, Hardaway Jr., who thinks like this, does look more mature in the arena. If it is other players, maybe they are just playing normally, even if they play more iron at this time, they can get some points, and they are now the main players of the team!
But Hardaway Jr. didn't do that! He made a decision in favor of the team with the current situation of the team and the opponent's state in mind! And in this case, you can only add more assists to yourself.
Decker carries the ball to the front court. There were no three points after Lowe got the ball! After Gallinari took the basketball, he adjusted his shot, but Noah was still interfered with! In the midst of a scuffle, Ntilikina finally latched on to N'Golo Kante's pass and moved up to the front of the pitch, where Gallinari had already arrived and jumped up to pass straight to Beasley. The latter hit a three-point shot right away! 84:77!
96:91! A difference of 5 points doesn't mean much. But the Knicks had enough excitement in this quarter! Although the team was hindered in attack, the players were very united! And they are calmly dealing with each other. This made it difficult for the Clippers.
I wanted to play with Reed. But in order to ensure the team's offensive efficiency, Griffin was allowed to play on the court.
"You can choose both. One is the outside play, Porzingis or Jack, Hardaway Jr. comes out to shoot! There is also the cooperation of the inner line and then the rapid breakthrough! So I'm going to say it again, beware of Beverley......"
Jack and Porzingis come up. Chen gave some of his thoughts and what he had to tell in the final quarter. Now the two sides are basically familiar with each other. The game in the third quarter was a bit like the playoffs!
How will the opponent fight in this section, it is estimated that the main force will come up. In order to ensure efficiency on the field, Gallinari is back on the field! His main thing now is passing. You can still contribute points at certain times.
Teodosic and Uncle Huang are back. Beverley passed the half, and Teodosic took the basketball and hit a direct three-point shot! 96:94!
The Clippers bench immediately became lively! The coaching staff and the substitutes are now watching the game seriously. Jack passed the ball to Hardaway Jr., perhaps because he wanted to attack too much, and immediately felt that it was too late! Gallinari took Beverley's ball, waited for a moment, and tossed it high to Griffin. The latter did not choose to dunk, but jumped directly and hit a three-point shot! 97:96! The score is overtaken!
Jack comes to the front court with the ball. He jumped for a three-pointer after two rounds with Beverley! Jordan Jr. gets the rebound and passes the ball into Gallinari's hands! Beverley took the ball and hit a 2-point jumper in the frontcourt! 99:96!
The camera was given to Chen. He looked at his team, and the expression on his face was a little anxious at this time. But it was calm again. There was also a pause. The same goes for the other side.
Now is not the time. Now he's ready, too. It's normal to lose to the Clippers. This team is still not very mature in terms of running-in. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for the Knicks to play to this extent today!
Beasley's jumper went straight out of bounds. Griffin serves to Teodosic on the sidelines. Gallinari went to the front court to take over the basketball and hit a jumper with a three-point shot! 102:96! At the beginning of the game, the opponent played a wave of 11:0 small climax!
Porzingis jumped up after dribbling and hit a 2-pointer! Griffin hit a three-point shot right away when he got to the frontcourt! 105:98!
Hardaway Jr. held the ball past half the court and was immediately cut off by Teodosic just as he was about to pass it to Porzingis! Gallinari received the basketball over the halfcourt, and Griffin immediately deducted the points after receiving the ball! 107:98! Chen directly asked for a timeout at this time.
The atmosphere on the Clippers' bench now seems to be celebrating. Griffin and Gallinari high-fived, and the players rushed to the sidelines.
"Rebounding and defending under the basket has to be good. Griffin: You don't have to focus too much on scoring. Pay attention to Porzingis and Kante. Gallinari must do a good job of helping. On the defender's side, pass more balls and try to confuse the opponent's rhythm as much as possible......" Little Jordan, they listened carefully, there was still some time before the end of the game.
"Doug, you'll be on the pitch in a moment. Pay attention, no matter how good the other party's Gallinari and Griffin are, they won't immediately turn into beasts or something. After encountering Griffin, he didn't have enough to make more passes, and Gallinari could have some physical confrontation with him. But be prepared to fight. The tempo of the team, my request is to lower and slow down! It would be nice to stabilize a little bit......"
After coming back, Hardaway Jr. quickly passed half court, and Porzingis got the basketball and hit a 2-pointer under the bag of Gallinari and Griffin! 107:100! After Teodosic missed the three-pointer, Jordan Jr. and Kante both fell to the ground together with the ball!
The actions of the two men just now startled both teams...... Neither of them had a good temper...... But what was unexpected was that the two big men stood up first after seeing the referee award the scrum, and then turned around and dragged Uncle Huang up~
"It's quite good to grab it, buddy~" Uncle Huang looked at the guy in front of him and patted him on the back~
"Each other~" Kante said to the referee after speaking. However, the referee just asked the two men to stand. The words of the scrum start now, and if you talk nonsense, be careful to give "T".
Kanter jumped up first to get the basketball and passed to Jack! This pass Beverley almost touched! My right hand touched the ball! Jack got the basketball and dribbled a few times, and one of the speeds passed Gallinari to the frontcourt. Hardaway Jr. just came to get the basketball and went straight to the net with three points! 107:103!
126:119! In the end, the Clippers hit just one of their three crucial shots. Then the Knicks scored quickly! The game was immediately out of suspense.
"I thought we could win!" Beasley said excitedly as he watched his teammates return.
"You're so good, it looks like I'm going to be laid off. It's good if you predict it before the game~" After Chen finished speaking, the players around him immediately laughed!
In this game, Kante got 9 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists! Porzingis had 17 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists! Beasley had 16 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, and Hardaway Jr. had 21 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists! Ntilikina 27 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists!
In this game, Ntilikina was in good form, and Chan played him for 29 minutes! The team is not bad in terms of coordination with a high level of concentration.
The Clippers' little Jordan has 6 points, 15 rebounds and 2 blocks! Griffin 31 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists! Gallinari had 19 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists, and Teodosic had 11 points, 1 rebound and 9 assists! Lowe had 18 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.
In the comments after this game, netizens felt that if Beverley could play early, then maybe they would have won the game in the end! The Clippers allowed the Knicks to score too many points in the first half.
"I've been watching some news about him lately. Anyway, I'm looking forward to meeting him! Our newcomers are no different......"
