I really don't want to win the MVP

Chapter 206 Anxious First Round of the Second Round (2)

103: 109.

Rice: "To be honest, although the Knicks have not performed very well in recent years, they have completely looked like a strong team this year, but it seems that we do not have such high-intensity playoff experience."

Hines: "Indeed, on the contrary, the youngest Chinese Jiang in the team seems to have played in the playoffs many times. If it weren't for his overall connection and scoring, I am afraid that the Knicks would surrender in three quarters. Fortunately, the game There are still 4 minutes left, it seems that time is enough, and we still need to do a good job of defense!"

Jiang Mu's physical crisis reappeared, big beads of sweat came out, and the A-level stamina was not enough at this time.

If it comes to the Eastern Conference Finals, they will face the top Cavaliers in the league. They have lost now!

Jiang Mu didn't want to stop here, at least he had to fulfill his promise to his boss, James Dolan.

Boyi clenched his fists, looked at Jiang Mu in front of him who was taking all the time to rest, and shouted silently in his heart: Come on, daddy!

Xu Jingyu: "I said at the beginning that this game is not easy for the Knicks. Although the Knicks' offense is not a big problem under Jiang Mu's scoring and series organization, but the Raptors can't hold back the offense and play well. Oh, you have scored one in the past month, so you can’t catch up with the score! And the Knicks consume too much physical energy for each attack, and the last 4 minutes are a test for everyone’s physical fitness!”

Casey: "Great job, my boys! You will take away a victory at the Knicks at home in 4 minutes!"

The game restarted, the intensity escalated again, and it became extremely difficult for everyone to catch the ball every time.

So are the Raptors.

Under Jiang Mu's tight defense, Lowry's pass was deflected. Anthony went around and directly cut off the pass to Valanciunas. He did not hesitate to move forward. After receiving the ball, Jiang Mu quickly He got the ball into the three-point line and made a fast break for a layup, but Lowry's strong body kept sticking to Jiang Mu.

Lowry had no choice but to foul the thug, and Jiang Mu stood on the free throw line again.

Made both free throws.

At 105:109, the Knicks once again saw the hope of catching up with the score.

DeRozan missed a mid-range shot, and Afflalo also responded with a mid-range miss.

Lowry hit the iron with a three-pointer. Jiang Mu wanted to follow Fisher's instructions and pretend to hit the inside and really hit the outside, but Anthony's pick-and-roll quality was good. Jiang Mu plunged into the three-second zone without hesitation, facing Valanciunas tall The body is a throw.

When Valanciunas blocked the shot, he pressed his hand down, and Jiang Mu got another free throw opportunity.

Valanciunas left the field with 6 fouls, replaced by DeMarre Carroll, who is also a defensive champion.

Although the Raptors sent off the inside defender, there were only more than two minutes left.

Jiang Mu made the first free throw, 106:109, Fisher asked for a timeout again, the tactics would not change, but Fisher hoped that this timeout would give the players a breather, especially Jiang Mu, everyone can see The opponent's defense exhausted Jiang Mu a bit.

After playing again, Coach Casey suddenly came up with a surprising lineup.

Lowry and DeRozan are unshakable, and it is absolutely impossible to sit on the court at this time.

The remaining three are Scola, Ibaka and Carroll.

Jiang Mu, who was steady in free throws, didn't make the second free throw. The Knicks didn't seem to be used to Jiang Mu's missed free throws. Even the Raptors were a little surprised.

But Scola, who got the rebound, was very delicate in his hands, and his passing skills were also very good.

He saw DeRozan who started early at a glance, and a one-handed pass was given to DeRozan.

Although Afflalo has been staying in the backcourt when making free throws, it is too late to think about getting close at this time.

DeRozan didn't wait for the defender to settle down, and directly hit a mid-range jumper.

106:111, the 5-point difference made Jiang Mu frown.

In the last 1 minute and 58 seconds, Jiang Mu was not heavily defended as soon as he took the ball. After Jiang Mu dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, he instantly understood the purpose of Raptors coach Casey's adjustment of personnel.

Although Terrence Ross has a balanced offense and defense, facing Jiang Mu's three-point shooting ability and shooting speed, he can't do a good job of restricting him. If Jiang Mu is restricted, the chances of the Raptors winning will be greatly increased.

Especially at the last moment of the game, the Knicks are used to Jiang Mu taking on the heavy responsibility of offense.

Therefore, the importance of Carol, who is tall, long and defensive, is highlighted on the court at this time.

Coach Casey is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface.

Sure enough, Carroll's defense caused Jiang Mu a lot of trouble. After 20 seconds of attack time, the Knicks didn't find the right time to make a shot.

Jiang Mu held the ball again and broke through to the right without saying a word, trying to use his speed to pass Carroll, but when his body touched, Jiang Mu almost fell down due to the huge force, and his speed slowed down.

After finally adjusting the center of gravity, Jiang Mu turned around and leaned back without raising his hands.

Carroll's block had already reached his face, and Jiang Mu quickly realized in his heart: If you don't hurry up, the shot will definitely be blocked!

After staying in the air, Jiang Mu leaned back sharply, and then shot quickly.

brush!
108: 111.

Carroll seemed a little annoyed. He was entrusted with the defensive task of restricting the opponent's arrow core figure. He was hit in the first round, and he was inevitably a little depressed.

"De Marais! It's impossible for him to hit such a goal every time. As long as you guarantee that he doesn't score in the next round, we will win!"

Lowry's words worked immediately, because there was only 1 minute and 35 seconds left.

If the Knicks fail to make an offense in the next time, it will be difficult to catch up with the score.

Looking back, Anthony's defense against DeRozan caused Ibaka to be open again, and Ibaka made a successful mid-range shot.

At 108:113, the point difference returned to 5 points again.

The 3-point difference seems to be a hurdle. The Knicks can't break through the 3-point difference every time. The score just approaching will inevitably be widened again.

Jiang Mu is very clear that now he needs to save attack time, and increase the attack rounds by one or two times.

So Jiang Mu, who brought the ball to the frontcourt, still didn't call a cover against Carroll's defense.

Defensive fighters like Carroll have a lot of experience in breaking pick-and-rolls. At this time, the Knicks can only succeed in setting up Jiang Mu with Lopez and Porzingis. The pick-and-rolls are useless at this time. There will also be disruptions to rhythm and movement.

And Lopez does not have the level of direct catch and attack after the pick-and-roll.

Porzingis?I don't even have this habit!

Anthony was under the special care of Ibaka and Scola at this time, so he had no chance to make a move.

Jiang Mu can only use his speed and ball-handling skills to beat Carroll alone.

This is why there are superstars in the NBA many times.

The superstar does not simply let the team attack the core singles, it must be the result of rigorous and comprehensive analysis at the critical moment of the game.
