The Point Guard is Here

In the astonishment of everyone, Fan Xi quickly returned to the bench.

He suddenly remembered one thing.

Maybe we can defend O'Neal in a different way. We shouldn't learn from the previous Bulls' attack on him.

Fan Xi said to Pat Riley straight to the point.

O'Neal is unsolvable one-on-one, and he can easily swallow any Knicks defender.

However, now he is still afraid of flanking.

Moreover, his passing level is not as high as expected. (In the normal historical trajectory, the Rockets eliminated the Magic 4:0, and the Rockets took him to the flank, although O'Neal averaged 28 points, 12.5 rebounds and 6.3 assists in this series.

. But the entire rhythm of the Magic has been disrupted. They only have two strong points of Hardaway and O'Neal, and the three-pointers they rely on for survival have not been opened at all. The Rockets' flanking is completely different from the Bulls' flanking. The Bulls interfered before O'Neal received the basketball, but the Rockets waited for O'Neal to receive the ball and flanked him. They once made O'Neal four turnovers in a row. )

Fan Xi explained his views to Pat Riley in detail.

Pat Riley frowned at first, and then he suddenly realized that a famous coach is a famous coach.

Pat Riley can naturally understand everything Tomjanovich can think of.

He quickly made targeted deployments.

beep!

The whistle sounded and the game continued.

When the Knicks modified their defensive strategy, they arranged for Anthony Mason, a peerless slugger, to top O'Neal. When O'Neal catches the ball, the paint closes... sure enough.

O'Neal takes the pass.

In the tactical manual of Magic coach Hill, O'Neal is just a super killer in the penalty area, and he has not reached the absolute core position. Hill relies more on his lethality in the paint to drive outside shots.

This seems to be the fate of the Magic. N years later, a head coach named Stan Van Gundy did the same thing with the league's top center. The result was the same. The league's No. 1 center went to the West Coast and won the championship.

When O'Neill was male on the left and right, two strong men like steel stared at him and squeezed his ball,

The young and restless O'Neal was quickly lost...lost.

The basketball was thrown out in a panic.

Fan Xi saw the opportunity, grabbed ahead of Nick Anderson, and slapped the basketball to Starks.

Starks took two quick steps with the ball, and then made a long pass to Fan Xie who was going down fast.

Fan Xi brought the ball to the frontcourt, and before Anderson came to meet him, he quickly passed the basketball to Charles Smith who was diagonally inserted into the penalty area.

Smith jumped up and smashed Huashan.

Orlando is roaring at home.

The Knicks, who had been suppressed for a long time, finally burst out with dynamic energy, and the slowly expanding point difference also narrowed to 6 points.

Pat Riley pumped his fists hard off the court, and his cute little Vanhee gave him another adrenaline rush. He couldn't help but love this little guy.

Did you see? Jeff. Jack is a backcourt player who can really use his brains. He is not the kind of person who changes tactics according to the tactical board on time and by the second...

Pat Riley did not forget to express his excitement to Jeff Van Gundy, the chief assistant next to him.

Jeff Van Gundy was not excited at all, he even wanted to say: How about you read my ID number directly.

Time begins to move forward.

Shaquille O'Neal continued to experience the dilemma after receiving the ball, this time he finally passed the ball in the pinch. But Scott's touch on the outside line was cold.

boom!

Fan Xi's move was like a steel bar embedded in the magic tactical system, making their original silk-like smooth tactics stutter.

Coach Hill is a person who doesn't know much about flexibility, otherwise he wouldn't be 4:0 by the Rockets in history.

Little by little, the Knicks regained the initiative.

However, although the Knicks have damaged the overall chemistry of the Magic. However, the personal abilities of Hardaway and O'Neal are real and cannot be restricted.

The two are among the top young talents in the league today, and judging from this trend, they are the embryos of superstars who are destined to leave their names in history.

Gemini continues to shine.

The Knicks are not to be outdone.

Although there is no star on the Knicks side that can surpass O'Neal and Hardaway in terms of overall strength, each position is at the elite level, and they are twisted into one rope, which can be regarded as a double hero in team battles.

This is also the reason why the Knicks have been unable to form a lead for a long time.

Historically, Olajuwon contributed a lot to the Rockets' easy kill of the Magic. Olajuwon is a super center who can play singles with the ball. In contrast, Ewing's ability to hold the ball is weaker. Moreover, Olajuwon can play around with O'Neal, and Ewing... more or less avoids O'Neal.

The Knicks finally tied the score in the first half of the fourth quarter.

Taking advantage of this time, Fan Xi went to rest.

His physical fitness was barely enough during the regular season, but as the schedule progressed and the confrontation became more and more intense, he was more and more used in tactics, and his fatigue gradually appeared.

Derek Harper, who splits playing time with him, is actually a little tired. He is old after all.

When he returned to the court, just O'Neal broke out.

O'Neal grabbed rebounds in the paint to complete dunks.

The Knicks players in the penalty area were very passive.

Tonight, Charles Oakley, Anthony Mason, Patrick Ewing, and even Charles Smith and Monty Williams fought back and forth, but none of them caught the shark.

The Sharks at this time are far from reaching their peak, especially how amazing O'Neal's talent is.

This is the medal player!

Fan Xi couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

O'Neal and Hardaway are both medal players.

Seeing their presence on the court, Fan Xi couldn't help thinking of his friends: Iverson, Kobe, James Jr., Marbury... Can they all have this level of strength?

After the Magic's ferocious performance by O'Neal, Hardaway also found his hand.

They took a three-point lead with 1:11 left in the game.

Pat Riley had to request a timeout.

when paused.

Fan Xi heard Oakley grumbling next to him. This iron-blooded tough guy has always been fearless, and he can be said to be the number one character in the NBA. Back then, he was the guardian of Young Joe and the Bad Boys Legion. He never feared Detroit on the frontal battlefield.

Damn him, there are so many of us. Even one fist should be useless by that guy.

Oakley's words woke Fan Xi up suddenly.

He asked Starks next to him, have we reached the number of fouls?

The answer is yes.

At the same time, Starks asked Fan Xi suspiciously, why are you asking this?

Fan Xi clapped his hands and his eyes lit up.

A notorious and ugly tactic popped up in his head.

Although this tactic sucks.

but.

Why don't we just foul Shaquille O'Neal without the ball? Send him to the free throw line. His only flaw is that he is not accurate. It's better than letting their players shoot. Now Hardaway feels very good.

Vanhey advises Pat Riley.

Pat Riley was still arranging offensive tactics.

Hearing this, his eyes immediately brightened.

He is a fortune teller.

You are a good fortune teller with a belly full of bad water and a mind full of intrigues and tricks.

As soon as Fan Xi opened his mouth, he figured out the charm inside.

yes.

Why not just foul O'Neal and send him to the free throw line?

His free throws are the most inaccurate offense the Magic have ever had.

Most importantly, we have people.

We line up on the inside, who can't foul? As long as you have hands.

Patricia patted Fan Xi on the shoulder vigorously: You are so smart, Jack.

Next, we fouled O'Neal without the ball. This is definitely a pioneering tactic. Oh, no, some teams used it against Chamberlain back then. So, what should this tactic be called?

The fortune teller pondered over there.

Fan Xi whispered: Shark hacking tactics.

That's right!

When Pat Riley clapped his hands, it was a shark slashing tactic.

Tonight, the shark will be chopped into melons and vegetables, and will be beaten up.

beep!

The whistle sounded.

Fan Xie returned to the game, he carefully controlled the ball after playing, facing Hardaway's aggressive defense, he did not rush forward, but waited for Anthony Mason to come out to cover.

Van Heede penetrated the screen to the free-throw line, and when Hardaway released Mason to catch up, he looked back and passed the ball.

Anthony Mason catches and shoots in the high post... Swoosh!

Mason's long-distance shooting has finally paid off.

Fan Xi and Mason have a faint pick-and-roll atmosphere.

However, Fan Xi told Mason privately that he hoped that Mason would become a face-to-frame all-round power forward who has the ability to cope, can go down quickly, and can make mid-range shots.

He also gave Mason a nickname: You can call him Xiaobawang.

Mason loved the nickname.

In fact, in terms of physical fitness, Anthony Mason is not as good as the future bully except for his explosive power and jumping ability. His strength, stature, and defensive ability are all dominant.

Moreover, in the original historical trajectory. Anthony Mason did make a way to counterattack. He won the best sixth man in 1995, and since 1996, he has transformed from a blue-collar to a star play style. He has developed a mid-range shot and has the ability to hold the ball. , but also has a strong coping ability.

This is why he later became the leader of the team in the Hornets.

look back.

Anthony Mason showed his rough side, he hugged O'Neal with his natural supernatural power, and even had the urge to spin in circles: if the referee didn't see it.

beep!

When the referee blew the off-ball foul, he himself was a little stunned.

Because, the last time such a foul was committed on an off-ball player, it dates back to the distant era when Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell divided the league.

O'Neal walked to the free throw line in a daze.

43 seconds left in the game.

boom!

The Sharks did not disappoint.

Missed the first free throw.

Swish!

The second penalty actually hit.

The point difference returned to 2 points.

Fan Xi received the basketball and quickly broke through.

Get to the frontcourt under Hardaway's relentless pressure defense, and then pass the ball to Starks.

Starks takes a shot from beyond the arc... BOOM!

Basketball missed.

Fortunately, Ewing grabbed the rebound and passed it to Smith, who made up the basketball.

28 seconds left.

The two teams drew.

The pitch was silent.

But soon, it turned into cursing and catcalling.

Because Anthony Mason fouled again.

Mason, who was as strong as a bull, hugged the big shark from behind and asked for a foul.

When O'Neill was put down by him, his face was shaking.

I don't like men hugging me from behind.

The Sharks protested to Anthony Mason.

Mason gave him a fist bigger than a casserole.

O'Neill didn't say much, just whispered in his mouth.

In the matter of fighting, O'Neill is equivalent to a big fool. His fighting power can't even match that of Barkley. Barkley can be regarded as a fierce god of the NBA generation. After all, he has also fought against the Bad Boys Legion and has a glorious history.

However, in front of Oakley in New York, Barkley was a younger brother who dared not make a sound even after being slapped.

In front of Anthony Mason, Oakley is a fake tough guy who only knows how to sneak around and play dirty tricks.

In terms of seniority in fighting, Anthony Mason can be said to be O'Neill's grandfather without humility.

The gourd baby didn't dare to make trouble in front of grandpa, how dare the big shark.

He goes to the free throw line.

When he received the basketball from the referee, he was sweating profusely, full of nervousness, anxiety, and a little timidity. It was as if a few years later, he faced the predicament that he couldn't be tough in the face of that woman who was so charming in every way on the bed.

After struggling for a long time, the big shark finally shot out.

boom!

Basketball strikes iron.

1 penalty missed.

Swish!

On the second ball, O'Neal finally hit the basketball in the same way as a shot put.

Time to the Knicks.

It is still Vanhee who controls the ball, this time Hardaway no longer presses the whole court.

After Fan Xi arrived at the frontcourt, he stood at the top of the arc to waste time.

He didn't intend to attack a goal, anyway, the next step must be a foul.

Even the booing Magic fans knew it.

Coach Hill was so sad that he wanted to replace O'Neal at the last moment.

How can there be such a player who doesn't play cards according to the routine.

Is it manly enough to win by foul?

With 8 seconds left in the attack time, Fan Xi started.

He used Ewing's defense to break into the penalty area. Facing Shaquille O'Neal's defense, he didn't hesitate at all. He ran into it directly and forcibly sought physical contact.

The results are crystal clear.

Fan Xi was knocked into the air.

But he heard the whistle, and he threw the basketball.

And... swish!

Basketball is in.

2+1.

The Knicks bench was full of excitement, and the New York fans in front of the TV were even more excited.

Sure enough, it was Jack!

As expected of Jack!

Vanhey rarely disappoints at critical moments.

Just... bang!

Fan Xi missed the penalty.

At this time, Hill on the sidelines was already so excited that he shouted: Little Jack doesn't know how to make free throws, cut him off! !

Because of this excited yell, he delayed the timeout call.

Fortunately, Hardaway was smart. He ran across the half with the ball and took almost two seconds before calling the timeout.

There are 3.6 seconds left in the clock.

In theory, the Magic still have the possibility of winning.
