Chapter 224 You want me to die!
The game passed minute by minute. Although Yao Ming had a considerable advantage at the basket, unfortunately Dazhi also had a great advantage when facing Ratliff.
This has led to the gap between the two sides not widening.
By the time the game entered the fourth quarter, the 76ers were only leading the three-point difference.
As a veteran with extremely rich experience, Uncle Mu gradually learned to be smart when he was playing against Yao Ming.
As much as possible, he will defend against Yao Ming in a forward way so that he can't get the ball. If Yao Ming gets the ball, then stand beside Yao Ming and don't force it to the target. Anyway, Yao Ming will always have to take action. It's not too late to block it by the moment Yao Ming takes action.
This defensive strategy is still very effective, which has caused Yao Ming's offensive efficiency to decline significantly.
Reed made a three-pointer, and Payton immediately returned one.
Houston scored a mid-range shot, and Kirirenko immediately scored two points.
Both sides truly interpret what it means to play back and forth. No one can say which wins and who loses until the last second of the game.
When the last fourteen seconds left in the game, the 76ers only led by two points, and it was the Knicks' ball.
If the Knicks scored a three-pointer, they would be the final winner tonight, but the Knicks' three-point accuracy is not the top, and they are unlikely to score a three-pointer. After all, Old Thomas is not the kind of person who likes to take risks.
Then you can only score two points, Kong Bu sets up defensive tactics, and Dazhi has at least 70% chance to execute this goal. Whether he can defend it depends on Ratliff.
After taking charge of the Philadelphia 76ers, Conbu did not make much lineup adjustments. He was the original starting power forward Ratliff in the lineup and was still a starter most of the time.
In fact, Conbu had the opportunity to sell Ratliff in exchange for some picks and other bargaining chips, because with the joining of the two power forwards, Barkley and Oakley, the 76ers were not missing four players.
However, Ratliff can play in the fifth position and he is very good at defending space players, so Conbu finally kept it.
During the offseason, Conbu had already expected that their biggest opponent this season was the Knicks, and it would definitely be of great use to keep Ratliff.
As Kong Bu expected, the Knicks really let Dazhi take over this attack.
Dazhi received a pass from his teammates within the three-point line and tried to hit Ratliff on his back.
Because the power attribute has been greatly improved before, Dazhi was able to retreat Ratliff in a row.
After reaching the right position, Dazhi turned over and leaned back.
Ratliff relied on his amazing bounce ability to fly over and block.
Although it failed to block it, it still affected Dazhi's attack.
"Bang!"
Dazhi missed the final goal, and Yao Ming at the basket also grabbed the rebound.
A moment later, the referee blew the whistle, and the Philadelphia 76ers narrowly won the first game at home.
Although the game was won, Kokbu, the 76ers and even all the 76ers fans were not too excited. This game was too anxious and it was too difficult to win.
You should know that this is still the home court of the 76ers. If it reaches the home court of the Knicks, the 76ers may have to lose tonight.
Kong Bu sighed, and it was at this critical moment. There was no other way, so he could only take one step at a time.
Seeing Old Thomas standing on the sidelines with a frustrated expression, Conbu squeezed out a smile and walked over.
"Old guy, it seems that you are not lucky."
Kong Bu smiled.
"It's true that your luck is not very good. Kong, your luck is still as good as ever."
"Even if your luck is a little worse tonight, you will have to lose."
Old Thomas said angrily.
"What if we have good luck in the next three games?"
"Old man, you have to do more good deeds and accumulate some virtue for yourself."
"This way, your luck will naturally get better."
When Old Thomas heard Conbu's words, he even rolled his eyes. Doing good deeds can bring good luck? You Conbu has done so many bad and breathable things, but you are not as lucky as you.
In the next G2 of the Eastern Conference Finals, the 76ers lost their home court, which is not the most deadly.
In the final stage of the third quarter, Ratliff stepped on Dazhi's foot when he jumped up and landed, and was injured on the spot and would miss the game for at least half a month.
Without Ratliff, the 76ers had no choice but to deal with Dazhi.
The old Barkley or Oakley can't be allowed to defend Dazhi. These two people will be completely defeated by Dazhi in terms of speed and bounce, and they can't keep up with Dazhi's footsteps at all.
Conbu had no choice but to let Kirilianko reach the fourth position and Ginobili reach the third position.
The 76ers now have made Kong Bu truly understand what it means to be a skillful woman. The lineup is too flawed and the number of players who can play is too few. Once a player gets injured, it will be a disaster for the 76ers.
The next third and fourth games were both home games for the Knicks. The Knicks won and directly led the 76ers with a big score of 3:1.
The situation is already extremely unoptimistic for the 76ers.
Old Thomas was so happy that he was only one step away from eliminating the 76ers. He will kill the Lakers in the finals and he will usher in the first championship trophy in his coaching career.
His player career is extremely successful, and he is the top five point guard in history.
His coaching career will also become extremely successful. If he grabs a championship trophy in Kong Bu, he will at least be the top ten coach.
If you win a few more championship trophys in the future, you will become a god, a double god in NBA history players and coaching professions.
In the fifth game of the Eastern Conference Final, just when Old Thomas was sitting on the sidelines preparing to reap the victory and eliminated Kongbu with a big score of 4:1, a sudden change occurred. When the game was in the middle of the third quarter, Payton was injured.
Payton played 73 games in the regular season this season, averaging 32 minutes of playing time. He was rested well by Old Thomas and maintained a good health.
But in the playoffs, he couldn't take a break.
The first round of the playoffs was fine, they swept their opponents 4-0 to advance, and in the second round, they played against the Raptors, Payton played seven games, and averaged 44 minutes per game.
In the Eastern Conference Finals at this moment, his average playing time per game reached an astonishing 46 minutes in the first four games, and he almost didn't have much rest.
The reason for this situation is Iverson.
Iverson was too hard to end.
As long as Iverson doesn't end, Payton has to stay on the court and has no way to end, because as long as he ends up, Iverson will immediately fight an incredible offensive with Yao Ming.
What's even more terrible is that Iverson has been trying to consume Payton's physical fitness, and he has to run around and forth with Iverson almost all the game.
If it were Payton when he was young, he would not be afraid of this kind of playing style at all. He would not know who would kill him until the end.
But now Payton is old after all, how could he spend the New Year with the strong Iverson?
In fact, during the intermission, Payton already felt something was wrong and his knees were extremely sore.
But tonight is the decisive game, and after winning, he can rest for several days. He simply gritted his teeth and persevered, thinking that his body could withstand it.
Unfortunately, under the high-intensity confrontation, he couldn't hold on in just five minutes.
With Payton's injury, Iverson's offensive firepower was released directly.
Even though the 76ers were 9 points behind, the 76ers still won when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game and beat the Knicks eight-point difference.
The 76ers fans who were originally completely desperate about the situation have once again risen in their hearts.
Payton is injured? The Knicks are definitely dead. No one can limit Iverson's situation, so why should the Knicks win?
The next morning, the Knicks officially announced Payton's injury, and he had to rest for at least three months, which means he was completely unable to play this season.
Kong Bu breathed a sigh of relief, and the 76 people were really in a desperate situation.
If Payton persists for another 10 minutes, 76 people may be eliminated.
Now with Payton's injury retrenchment, Conbu feels that their chances of advancing to the finals have reached at least 80%.
Old Thomas was worried and things were in trouble.
Payton was injured, and the substitute point guard had Mark Jackson.
Old Mark has no problem with the offensive end. His one-handed hit on the point guard position is enough to change the rules, and his organizational ability is also outstanding. He maintains more than 8 assists on the sidelines.
The defense is very embarrassing, he is older than Payton and has no outstanding athletic ability. His defense is almost equivalent to air for a player like Iverson.
However, the Knicks really don't need the point guard to be strong on the offensive or organizational end. The only thing they need is to limit Iverson's performance.
Obviously, Old Mark could not complete this task at all.
Only then did Old Thomas remember Chiles, the point guard who was abandoned by him.
Chiles' offense is not very good, and his organizational ability is not high-end, but he just tries hard to defend.
How can a player like him who plays from the secondary league not fight hard? This is the capital he can gain a foothold in the NBA.
Although the defensive strength is definitely not as strong as Payton, it is definitely much stronger than Old Mark.
"Where is Chiles? Where is Chiles?!" Old Thomas shouted at his coaching staff.
Everyone looked at each other, Chiles? If no one went to bail him, he would probably be locked up in the Philadelphia police station.
In fact, Chiles has now been released on bail, but he is in a lawsuit with Mark Rocky.
