Chapter 636: Why Can't It Be Us?
Now Chen doesn't dare to jump to the conclusion that the other party must be in the next game, and easily concede the victory to the Knicks. However, the score difference still feels a lot more relaxed now. 83:74!
Coach Lu has not asked for a timeout. He hopes to have more timeouts in the final quarter to adjust the team. Because the current team has a lot of problems in attack. Wade has no intention of letting him come back, and Korver is currently on top of the team.
"Then here's the problem~"
"yes, you see how well he and Wade played like they were back in Miami in the second quarter. But why is the team falling behind the Knicks now? In my opinion, it won't be too big. The main reason is that the team's run-in is weaker than that of other teams. ”
"After all, I won the championship, so I can hold my breath~"
"I can't sink anymore, no kidding. Going back to what they said earlier, they will slowly find their sense in the rest of the game. However, the chances of the Cavaliers winning this game are still not small. ”
After Iman's three-point shot was gone, Beasley immediately received a pass from Hardaway Jr. in the front court and hit a three-point shot! 86:74! Lue was about to take a timeout, Chen replaced Porzingis at this time, and the Cavaliers brought James back.
91:84! The Knicks entered the fourth quarter with a seven-point lead!
......
106:101! The knight asked for a timeout. James' fitness has declined more severely. In the end, he was just replaced. Now the Knicks' lineup after the return is adjusted to Kanter, Porzingis, Lance, Jack, Hardaway Jr.
On the Knight's side were Love, Channing, Claude, Smith and Thomas Jr. At the moment, the opponent is 5 points behind.
Jack slowly came to the front with the ball. Lance jumped up and hit a three-point shot after getting the ball! 109:101! At this time, the atmosphere in New York has been stirred up! Sometimes some Knicks players will accidentally collide with Chen.
Chen looked back and high-fived the players in celebration! Then turn around and continue watching the game with a slightly relaxed expression. By this time, the Knicks had let go and the Cavaliers were fighting.
Thomas Jr. walked over and took Crowder's pass, and then came to the front court to use his height advantage and speed to pass Hardaway Jr. and throw directly under the basket to score points! 109:101! James is basically not back on the court now.
Lance received a pass from Hardaway II and passed to Jack on the outside in a tight guard from Crowder. The latter jumped directly into the net with three points of hollowness! 112:101! There was a somewhat chaotic atmosphere at the scene. Knicks fans were cheering, while Cavaliers fans were looking at the score with some blankness.
Crowder's jump shot was not, and Lefu was immediately interfered with by Kanter after getting the basketball in the air! Now Kante is desperately defending as if he is going to fight with the opponent! Porzingis immediately got the rebound and passed to Jack!
After chasing three points to the frontcourt, Thomas Jr. immediately got the basketball in the backcourt and hit a long-range three-pointer in the chaos! 112:104!
The Cleveland fans at the scene immediately cheered! Jack passes the ball to Reims. Smith cut off the ball straight and passed it to Channing in the front court. The latter directly hit a three-pointer! 112:107!
This kind of chasing points made Chen feel a little bad. With Porzingis' three points no. Channing got the rebound and passed to Thomas Jr. In the face of no defense, he jumped directly into the net with three points! 112:110!
Chen was about to take a timeout. James stood on the sidelines at this time and raised his palms to high-five Thomas Jr., as well as Channing and Love.
"Guard against Porzingis, Hardaway Jr. Keep your distance and don't rush into action. On the inside, we have to fight with Kante! Lefou: If you beat it like noodles, they will only 'rip' you off. There will be some changes in tactics......"
When Lu saw the players return, he quickly talked to them about his next thoughts.
"You can play a trap to defend against a player. But don't use too much. Next, play a full-court press. Don't give them any shot! If you attack, try to give the ball as little as possible ......"
Sirens sounded overhead. The mascot and the cheerleaders were interacting with each other and dancing passionately.
When the game came back, Hardaway Jr. held the ball over half the court, and Jack jumped high and scored three points immediately after getting the ball! Kante slowed himself down a little bit in front of Lefou, in his own somewhat slow movements...... The referee immediately remembered that Kanter, who was standing next to the free throw line, successfully scored 2+1 after hitting it! 115:110!
Crowder took the basketball, saw Smith vacant and passed the ball out, and the latter immediately jumped up and hit a three-point shot! 115:113!
At this point, there was no pause on either side. With 11.3 seconds left in the game, the score was 119:118! The Knicks lead by 1 point!
Jack stood here in the midcourt and watched Smith jump up for three points after finally getting the basketball! Kante got the basketball and immediately passed the ball to Reims!
"Make a foul!! Make a foul!! Lou shouted at his players right away from the field! Hardaway Jr. ran over to receive a pass from Lance and saw Crowder pounce on him and immediately passed the ball to Jack. At this time, Jack, who was already standing next to the three-point line, immediately jumped up and shot! 121:118!
Slow-motion replays on the big screen saw Jack's left foot on the line. The players immediately cheered! Porzingis, though tired, jumped up with his teammates to celebrate. Jack threw it up after being surrounded by everyone~
"This heart can be put down~" Chen can finally breathe a sigh of relief. In the end, if the opponent hits that ball, then basically the two sides are reversed now. Jack was able to win without throwing blue at that time! But he still chose to shoot!
"This, how do you say it haha...... Finally, there was no danger to win the game. Those who have watched the game know how tense it is to play the rest of the game. The opponent's Thomas Jr. performed very well at the end! That's what worries us the most at that time. When I was in Boston, I learned about his personal abilities. ”
"Can you tell us what your final arrangements were?" A reporter immediately stood up and asked Chen.
"As you can see. At that time, it was nothing more than a question of A or B. It's not necessarily who can catch the ball. Jack started running to the front, but I didn't pay attention. I was staring at basketball at that time. It can be said that he did well in this game."
Chen only realized it at this time when he was recalling the last moments. Jack's move is to prevent the opponent from making a foul immediately after the shot is missed! As he expected, he immediately took the basketball in the chaos, and at this time, the Cavaliers players could not immediately come and make him foul.
That's when he got the basketball and threw it right away! This also directly sealed the victory!
"The opponent's ability to break through is still good. We scored a lot of points for the Cavaliers in the back. Chen, who answered the reporter, thought to himself at this time. Since some teams are winning here with the Cavaliers, why can't it be us in today's game?
In this game, Lefu got 9 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists! Tristan has 6 points, 10 rebounds and 3 blocks! James 26 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists! Korver had 16 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, and Thomas Jr. had 22 points, 2 rebounds and 7 assists! Wade 17 points, 4 rebounds and 1 steal!
N'Golo Kante has done a good job of restricting Lefou. And James also fought all over the court! Korver is a dangerous guy!
On the Knicks' side, Kanter got 18 points, 12 rebounds and 2 assists! Porzingis 23 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists! Beasley had 12 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, and Jack had 16 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists! Hardaway Jr. 34 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists!
Hardaway Jr. was the player with the most points today! There are many opportunities, and the feel is good!
"We're not going tonight, are we?" Lance asked suddenly.
"Coach, do you think we can ...... There was a nice shop for a long night......"
"Training can't be done at night, I'll set a time when the time comes," Chen laughed as he finished speaking.
