Alan Houston adjusted his shooting posture comfortably and then took off. Haha, Kobe, please watch my shot carefully.

But what was unexpected was that Mourning came out from the side at this moment and blocked Alan Houston's ball.

Alan Houston didn't expect Mourning to appear in this position. He was so proud when he jumped up to shoot. At this moment, his heart is full of bitterness...

The ball was definitely flying towards the Knicks, and it was about to go out of bounds. At this time, Nash accelerated and ran over. When the ball was about to land on the ground out of bounds, he pushed the ball. The ball immediately headed towards the other side of the Knicks, but

Now the speed of the ball is obviously not as fast as it was just now.

YES!

All the players on the bench of the Han Chinese team stood up and screamed at Mourning's block and Nash's desperate save.

Especially Paul Westphal, he was actually very satisfied with the ball after Mourning blocked the shot, but who knew that Nash was still so desperate to chase the ball.

He also knew why Nash did this. It was not to serve as the starting point guard in the following games.

Since you kid can work so hard, what if I let you start?

Paul Westphal wishes those players who risk their lives playing on the court.

And Nash also slammed the ball to the floor for his own save.

But this does not prevent Kobe from getting this counterattack shot!

As early as when Patrick Ewing blocked him, he was always ready for a counterattack, and sure enough, he got this opportunity.

Kobe quickly dribbled the ball into the Knicks' penalty area. The closest person to him at this moment was Chris Childs, who was following closely behind. The "three towers" behind him were obviously unable to run.

It seemed a bit confusing whether to choose a dunk or a layup. Forget it, let's just dunk. Kobe, who was eager to show himself, suddenly flew up and dunked with one hand.

With a bang, Kobe scored a slam dunk.

From the time Alan Houston used Patrick Ewing's pick-and-roll to make a behind-the-wall jumper three-pointer that was blocked by Mourning, to Nash flying and passing the ball back to Kobe, and finally Kobe solved the battle with a slam dunk, the time was less than 10

Second.

It can be said that this is a tactical victory for Paul Westphal, and it is also a victory for the Han people!

After this slam dunk, the point difference reached 9 points again, and there were only 2 minutes left before the end of the game.

I have to say that this goal was a big blow to the Knicks. Originally, Jeff Van Gundy used Patrick Ewing as a pick-and-roll, which was considered a dangerous situation, but he never expected that the Han Chinese team would still have it.

The way to crack it is to fail to score a three-pointer and the opponent scores two points in such a cool way as a slam dunk. Do you think it is irritating or not...

After Kobe dunked, he immediately ran over and pulled Nash up and hugged him.

This ball definitely ranks among the top five NBA balls today.

To be honest, this ball was picked up by Kobe for nothing. If it weren't for Nash who took the risk to save the ball, he would not have been able to succeed in such a glorious slam dunk.

So 80% of the credit for this ball must be attributed to Nash. Of course, Mourning's blocking also played the most critical role. Let's take 15%. 5% is enough!

In contrast to the Han Chinese team's exciting and crazy celebration, the Knicks on the other side seemed to be deeply hit and lost their spirits.

Especially Alan Houston. To be honest, he didn't do much wrong with this ball. His decisive shot from the three-point line is worthy of recognition, but the final result was the most tragic.

In today's game, he was not only cheated by Kobe behind him, but also cheated by Mourning in front of him. Who was he provoking?

Tell me what this made him think. To paraphrase a line from a Qing Dynasty drama, that is: Why is it always me who gets hurt?

Alan Huston is as unlucky as He Shen on TV back then.

At this time, Alan Houston was like an eggplant beaten by frost, and he could not recover for a long time.

This emotion also affected other players. Christian Laettner and Chris Childs also knew that this game was over and the Knicks had no way to make a comeback. It was very difficult to chase 9 points in 2 minutes. This was necessary.

Considering that the Knicks must hit every time they attack, and at the same time, the Han team must not consume 24 seconds...

When Knicks head coach Jeff Van Gundy saw that his players were in this state, he might as well replace them.

Jeff Van Gundy still called a timeout, preparing to replace the emotional Christian Laettner and Alan Houston.

The game is not over yet. The Knicks actually still have a chance, but there is a theoretical possibility of winning...

"Guys, what's wrong, isn't it just 9 points? We still have time and can continue to chase it back..." What can be said at this time, what else can be said at this time, Jeff Van Gundy can only think about the upcoming situation again and again

The players on the field were encouraged.

"After a while, Walter McCarty came on to replace Christian Laettner. Walter McCarty came on and played the small forward position, and Larry Johnson moved back to the power forward position!"

"Also, John Starks comes in for Alan Huston!"

This is also Jeff Van Gundy's last card. If the score is still not recovered in the last 2 minutes, then today's game will have to be unlucky.

Luck is indeed not on the Knicks' side today.

…

After the Han Chinese team's starting five returned to the bench, they were immediately warmly welcomed by the "scumbags" of the team, especially Nash. Not only did Mourning walk up to him, he touched his head affectionately and said words of encouragement.

In addition to the words, other team members also came to greet Nash, which made Nash a little at a loss...

God, why didn't he get this treatment when he came on as a substitute in the past few games? The save just now actually made his teammates care about him so much. This was beyond his expectation!

"Steve, the pass just now was really great. I didn't expect that ball to be passed to me at first..." Kobe said, hugging Nash over his shoulder.

In Kobe's view, even his former teammate Kidd, who he thought was as good at passing as Nash, couldn't make such a pass. You have to know that the ball just now had to be risked to save...

Let Kidd save the ball, I'd better think about when the sun rises in the west is more practical...

"By the way, is there nothing wrong with you?" Kobe said worriedly.

You know it's not easy to have a good partner. Kobe didn't want Nash to be injured because of the ball just now. Maybe the team would trade him soon.

There are trades behind the team, and Kobe still knows it. Although the team has no performance indicators this year, but it can make the playoffs, why not move forward...

Then the trade is inevitable, and general manager Mitch Kupchak will definitely tell the captain of this team.

As for those people who were traded, this was something Kobe didn’t know about. Unlike other teams in the league, the Han Chinese team was very strange. Only the general manager knew about player transactions, and only the general manager was qualified to exercise the right to trade.

, the head coach cannot have any say in player transactions.

Now there are many head coaches in the league who are involved in the team's draft picks or trading players. It can be said that the general managers or chief operating officers of many teams are basically just decorations. These are the tasks they should perform.

Let the head coach control it.
