NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

At eight o'clock in the evening, the game officially started.

After the start of the game, O'Brien played extremely active and enthusiastically, reaching out for the ball in various ways, hoping to beat Garnett in isolation.

Garnett also has a hard time defending. After all, he is O'Brien, and his current weight may be close to [-] kilograms. No one can bear it if he cuts it hard.

However, O'Pang couldn't hold on for long. He only played 4 minutes in the first quarter and his fatigue was already showing.

Because of his old age and lack of self-discipline in life, Ao Pang now has considerable physical problems.

Even so, in these 4 minutes, O'Brien still helped the Knicks establish a five-point advantage.

The Knicks fans at the scene were grinning from ear to ear. They had already seen the hope of winning against Kongbu.

It's a pity that O'Brien is not the same O'Brien as he used to be. Now O'Brien is more like his pirated version of Little Shark Eddie Curry. He only has a few minutes on the court to perform at the level of O'Brien.

Garnett is now in his prime. He is usually self-disciplined and extremely physically fit. After experiencing the difficult few minutes in the past, he became more and more relaxed as he played.

O'Pang also knew that he was in trouble, so he did not actively ask for the ball in the following time, and the ball rights began to be distributed to the outside.

McGrady took a mid-range shot in front of Roy and scored directly.

Turning around, Roy was no less impressive. After being defended by McGrady, he made a pull-up mid-range shot that also hit the net.

Adelaide, who is in the fourth position, failed to gain an advantage against Marion. Marion's defense is indeed good. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is Garnett Jr., Garnett can defend many positions, and Marion can defend many positions. Lyon can actually do it too.

However, even if Ade failed to play an advantage, he had no disadvantage. It was almost a draw at the fourth position.

In the No. [-] position, Rondo of the Nets naturally had the advantage. Under Rondo's defense, the old Miller was in a hurry.

It's a pity that Rondo himself has no offensive ability, so Miller's shortcomings of defensive garbage are covered up. If Rondo had Paul's offensive ability, the Nets would have at least a ten-point advantage in the first quarter.

Kongbu sat quietly on the sidelines watching the game. He originally thought that the Knicks were meat on his chopping block and would definitely be left to his own devices.

But when the game really started, Combe found that the Knicks were not that simple.

The main reason is that James has become stronger than last season. He has become stronger and his shooting ability is much better than last season.

Last season, when James stood in front of Artest, he seemed to have smaller muscles, but tonight, James clearly looks bigger than Artest.

The strength is strong enough, and the physical fitness is called bug. Even a beast like Artest will have a hard time blocking James' breakthrough head-on.

If he could only break through, he wouldn't pose much of a threat. The shooting ability developed by James is the most deadly.

At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks led by two points.

By the time the second quarter ended, the Knicks were trailing by three points.

Mainly because O'Brien was off the court for a long time in the second quarter, and the Knicks' substitute center was Olowokandi, who was no match for Garnett.

Except for O'Pang, the starting personnel of both sides are almost full.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, McGrady and James showed off their power one after another, catching the Nets off guard. Not only did they erase the three-point disadvantage in the first half, but they also led the team to a ten-point advantage.

After three quarters, the Nets trailed by ten points, and Kongbu looked solemn.

Garnett's face didn't look very good either. He had a huge advantage in the paint and had already beaten O'Fatty, but the team still fell so far behind.

"Ron, can't you be more defensive?"

"You allowed him to score 30 points in three quarters!"

Garnett's half-season self-cultivation was broken, and he complained to Artest.

The higher intensity he talks about is not an ordinary intensity, it is the kind of intensity that cannot be put on the table.

In Garnett's view, Artest's main role in the team is to defend the opponent's forwards and defenders. Now that he can't defend him, what's the use of him?

Artest also had complaints, "Kevin, that guy is a beast."

"I doubt even a chimpanzee could withstand his impact!"

"You want me to do something wrong? Of course I can. As long as the coach agrees, I can have him taken away on a stretcher within one minute of playing in the fourth quarter."

Garnett and Artest both looked at Kongbu at the same time.

Kongbu was speechless. What kind of villains did he find? If he couldn't defeat them, he would resort to evil hands.

"Come on, our Nets aren't that nasty yet."

"Guys, don't give up hope, we still have a chance."

"Ron, you go off and rest. Paul, go on and look for shooting opportunities as much as possible."

"Kyle, you should go out and give it a try. After training under me for so long, you should be able to put it to some use."

Combs made successive substitutions, removing Artest and Rondo who lacked offensive ability, and replaced them with Paul Millsap and Kyle Lowry.

Millsap has nothing to say. He has been under Kongbu for almost half a year, and his overall strength has already reached his peak. What he lacks now is an opportunity to express himself.

Lowry was traded to the Nets a month ago. After this month of special training, Kongbu didn't know how far Lowry had grown.

But one thing is certain, that is, Lowry's current offensive ability is definitely much stronger than Rondo.

Kongbu didn't want to lose. In order to further enhance his offensive power on the court, he used the three-point calibration device for Lowry.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Lowry made an immediate impact as soon as he came on the court. He made a three-pointer in front of Miller and hit it directly.

There is one thing to say, regardless of whether Lowry scored 0 points in the playoffs, his heart is indeed big enough. If it were other players, they might not dare to come up and score three-pointers in this situation.

In the Knicks' offensive round, James took the ball and attacked Millsap.

Millsap looks like a shrewd and cunning guy, and he doesn't even need Kongbu's orders. When he sees James rushing towards him, he immediately retreats, keeping a step away from James.

After seeing James stop and prepare to shoot, he stepped forward to block the shot.

Regardless of whether he can cover it or not, at least he can interfere with James' shooting touch.

After the two young men on the bench came on, the effect was quite good. By the time there were 3 minutes left in the game, the Nets had almost tied the score.

At this time, Garnett, Ade and Roy were also tired and pale. All three of them played at least four and 10 minutes tonight.

It's not that Kongbu likes to beat players to death, but the Nets' current lineup really doesn't have much room for rotation. It's easy to deal with a weak team. After the main force goes up to play an advantage, just send some cannon fodder to play in the garbage time.

But now that the opponent is the Knicks, and the Knicks are in excellent condition, Combu can only increase the playing time of the main players.

The Knicks are doing the same thing. Their bench is much more expensive than that of the Nets, but their strength is not necessarily better than that of the Nets. Therefore, except for O'Brien who really can't handle it, other players are gritting their teeth. Hard.

Lowry played 9 minutes on the court and scored 11 points and 4 assists against the old Miller. His performance simply blinded Rondo.

In fact, Rondo has never thought highly of Lowry. He feels that Lowry is nothing, can't do anything, and eats nothing. The only thing that is better than him is that he handles interpersonal relationships better than him. To put it bluntly, He is a better flatterer than himself.

People with aloof personalities are usually most annoyed by people who like to flatter him, so Rondo has no good impression of Lowry at all.

As a result, Lowry tonight opened his eyes. It seemed that besides flattering Lowry, Lowry was also much stronger than he thought.

At least when playing against someone like Old Miller, Lowry really suppresses him. Because his offensive ability is much stronger than Rondo's, the effect of the fight is even better than Rondo's.

In the blink of an eye, there are only two minutes left before the end of the game.

In the next minute, the entire Madison Garden Arena was boiling. McGrady hit three consecutive goals in just one minute. What's even more fatal is that these three goals included two three-pointers.

McGrady scored 1 points in 8 minute!
Knicks fans are satisfied, how can they lose this game?There is only one minute left in the game, and the Knicks still hold an eight-point advantage!
Kongbu stood up from the bench on the sidelines. He never expected that McGrady had reached this point and could actually create miracles.Fortunately, this is not the playoffs. If Tracy McGrady suddenly made such a move against the Knicks in the playoffs, the Nets' morale would have suffered a major blow.

The game is not over yet, and Kongbu has not given up hope. Even if the disadvantage on the field is so great that it is almost impossible to win, Kongbu is still thinking about countermeasures.

He looked at Millsap on the field and decided to treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor.

Kongbu directly called a timeout and called all the generals on the field to his side.

"Paul, can I trust you?"

Combs said to Millsap.

Millsap was confused when he asked this question. What do you believe in yourself?Good boy, you won’t let yourself execute the ultimate kill, right?With the Nets' current lagging situation, there seems to be no chance of a decisive victory.

"Boss, of course you can trust me, all the time, I will never let you down."

Even though Millsap didn't know what Combe was talking about, he still said a bunch of beautiful words.

"Okay, in the next minute, I will give you the absolute right to fire!"

"Attention, you have the absolute right to fire. Only you can fire on the field!"

"You can't even think about firing. Just shoot a three-pointer for me. If you really don't have a chance to make a three-pointer, just hit it."

"Remember the miracles Tracy created on the court? What he can do, I believe you can do it too."

"If God is on your side, after tonight, you will no longer be Millsap, but a rice god!"

Combs said loudly, patting Millsap on the shoulder.

Millsap was stunned, and everyone else was also stunned. No one thought that Millsap, who had been playing as a substitute, would have such a status in Kongbu's mind.

In a critical moment for the team, Combs actually expected Millsap to replicate McGrady's miracles?

However, since this is Kong Bu's arrangement, it is impossible for others to have any opinions. They all know that no matter what decision Kong Bu makes, he will never make a mistake.

Besides, now we can only let Millsap try.

Combs asked Millsap to take over at the critical moment, which was certainly not a random act, because Millsap did have such ability.

His nickname "Mishen" came from playing against the Big Three of the Heat. The Millsap moment of 28 seconds and 11 minutes is one of the three classic moments in NBA history along with the Miller moment and McGrady moment.

That was against the Big Three of the Heat. He led the team to score 46 points and led the team to win the game with 28 points in 11 seconds.

Coincidentally, James, one of the Heat's Big Three, happens to be in the Knicks lineup tonight.

"Okay, we've solved the offensive end, now we'll solve the defensive end."

"Ade is off, Ron is on, you and Roy are responsible for keeping an eye on Tracy!"

Kongbu arranged again.

Artest raised his hand and asked: "Of course there is no problem for the two of us to keep an eye on him, but what if he passes the ball?"

Kongbu laughed, "Don't worry, Tracy won't do this. If he does, he won't be Tracy."

"I know very well that Tracy dreams of repeating his miracle again, and tonight is his only chance."

Everyone nodded. Kongbu was right. If it were him, he would have the opportunity to create another miracle tonight. There was no way he could miss it. A person would have this opportunity several times in his life.

McGrady had already scored 1 points in the last minute. If he still feels extremely hot in the last minute and has another McGrady moment and scores 8 points, then he scores 1 points in the last 13 minutes. This is not a matter of miracles. , enough for God to abdicate and let McGrady take over.

The timeout ends and players from both sides return to the court.

The Nets had the ball. After receiving the pass from the sideline, Millsap raised his hand and made a three-pointer.

"boom!"

After missing the shot, Millsap looked embarrassed and glanced at Kongbu on the sidelines. He was relieved when he saw that Kongbu didn't have any unhappy expression.

When it came to the Knicks' offensive round, just as Combe expected, even when faced with double-teaming by Artest and Roy, McGrady still took action.

He also scored the key, a two-pointer!

Knicks fans are already cheering McGrady's name.

There are 40 seconds left in the game and the Knicks lead by 10 points. Is this game still unstable?Not even God could save the New Jersey hillbillies.

With the Nets having the ball, Lowry quickly controlled the ball to the frontcourt and handed it to Millsap. He raised his hand for another three-pointer, but still missed.

The Knicks fans at the scene were already laughing. The country bumpkins were anxious and started shooting three-pointers randomly.

Kongbu still showed no expression. He didn't want to create any pressure on Millsap.

Fortunately, McGrady's next shot did not score, and Artest and Roy's defense was not a showpiece. McGrady is not at his peak right now, so it is normal that he cannot score.

Lowry controlled the ball and passed it to Millsap. Combs glanced at the timer above the backboard. The moment Millsap took the shot, the time left on the timer was exactly 28 seconds!
"Shh!"

Millsap, who hit two consecutive three-pointers, finally made a three-pointer this time.

Kongbu looked happy and cheered loudly to Millsap.

With this three-point base, Millsap's confidence has increased. With only a seven-point gap left, it seems that he really has a chance.

In the next Knicks offensive round, Miller accidentally passed the ball and Lowry intercepted it. He immediately turned his head and ran towards the frontcourt.

After Millsap was in position, he passed the ball as soon as possible.

"Shh!"

Another three-point hit!
The difference was only four points.

The Knicks fans at the scene suddenly had an ominous premonition. Fortunately, with less than 20 seconds left in the game, the Knicks still won.

It was another Knicks offensive round. McGrady missed a three-pointer and the rebound was grabbed by Garnett.

At this juncture, the benefits of Garnett's own system were revealed. He accurately found Millsap's position with a long direct pass. Two seconds later, Millsap hit another three-pointer!
If it were another center, such as Ben, even if he grabbed this rebound, it would be difficult to score the ball immediately.

1 points difference!

The Knicks fans at the scene had no confidence. They didn't even understand what was going on. Why did the 1-point difference suddenly become [-] point?

With 8 seconds left in the game, Combu immediately yelled at Roy.

Roy understood this and immediately sent McGrady to the free throw line. Now the Nets' only chance to win the game was to rely on free throw tactics.

After McGrady stepped to the free throw line, he made one of two free throws and the point difference was back to two points.

The Nets had the ball, and the Knicks generals had already begun to double-team Millsap. Just when Millsap was hesitating whether to pass the ball, he saw Kongbu shaking his head at him on the sidelines.

Suddenly, with the help of Garnett's pick-and-roll, Millsap shot another three-pointer!
"Shh!"

Another three points!

As soon as the ball hit, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

Millsap scored four three-pointers in 28 seconds, scoring 12 points, and led the team to a narrow victory over the home team Knicks 117:116!
Kongbu on the sidelines was in agitated mood and wanted to shout loudly.

Do you understand the value of rice god?
