Chapter 120 Only super gods can save the Knicks!
"... Let's cheer up. This quarter is the best time for us to reverse. Zhou Mubai has played for three quarters. This high-intensity breakthrough cannot continue.
He will definitely be exhausted in this quarter, and this is our chance. Dwight, work harder on the offense and break through the Knicks' inside line!"
Stan Van Gundy encouraged his disciples, Howard not only broke through the Knicks' inside line, but actually got disabled.
Howard scored 38 points and 21 rebounds. Although it seems that although it is not as good as Zhou Mubai, it is a foregone conclusion to score 4020 tonight.
This may also be the first time Howard cut 4020 data. There were close data before, but it was still a little worse after all.
"...Dwight, we have to win the game, your data will be interesting. This is Madison Square. If you lead the team to win the game and leave a new record, this will be your milestone!"
The honor thrown by Van Gundy made Howard’s eyes look long.
"...Don't be afraid of Zhou Mubai. No matter how strong he is, he is just an ordinary human. He will eventually lose his energy. He is not a superman.
Jamal, you are the most resilient point guard I have ever seen. Think about how aggressive you were when you were against Chris Paul.
Zhou Mubai is not much better than you! I'm optimistic about you and guard against him. We can win tonight. He has no strength anymore!"
Greater Van Gundy is constantly encouraging Nelson.
——Not encouraged, Nelson's eyes won, and he was a little confused. This is a sign that he would have consumed a lot of physical strength and was also severely hit mentally.
Van Gundy's encouragement only made Nelson's expression slightly lively, but in fact he still didn't believe it.
He didn't have the strength... he was joking. At the end of the third quarter, he still looked lively.
You said that he didn't have the strength, from the second section of the Chinese New Year to the third section, but we are the ones who don't have the strength.
Van Gundy's eyes were firm.
He had to be determined that as the head coach, no matter what his situation was, he had to show full confidence, and the following people might have confidence.
If even he loses confidence, the people's hearts will disperse, and the people's hearts will disperse, and the team will be difficult to lead.
But he was also suspicious in his heart - is Zhou Mubai really not in the strength?
The fourth quarter game started again, and both sides started back on the court.
The Magic team's ball rights, Nelson quickly advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.
He saw Zhou Mubai coming up to defend and quickly passed the ball, because once he couldn't pass the ball in time, it would be difficult to pass it next.
Fortunately, the Magic's organization does not rely entirely on Nelson, and the Magic's tactics are not complicated. Facing the Knicks tonight, the Magic's inside line has a great advantage.
Carter also understood this very well. So after receiving Nelson's pass, he immediately turned around and hanged the ball into the inside.
The moment Howard received the ball, he immediately stretched out his elbow to push away Jeffries and dunked. The rest of the Knicks couldn't even make up for defense.
The difference was forced to reach six points.
Van Gundy applauded strongly on the sidelines. As long as the ball is defended, the Magic will likely smooth out the score in the next few rounds.
He has seen hope for success.
Zhou Mubai shook his head helplessly. This matter is really not a mistake.
It’s not that Jeffrey doesn’t work hard, but that Howard is really overpowering.
In addition to meeting Yao Ming often beaten, Howard at the peak will most of the other centers in the league will be suppressed.
Jeffries actually struggled to play power forwards. Although he is tall, his figure is really thin.
However, this was originally expected, and Zhou Mubai would not be upset. Since he couldn't defend himself, he would make up for it on the offense.
Zhou Mubai quickly advanced to the frontcourt, and Nelson followed Zhou Mubai with all his steps.
In fact, he had given up his fantasy that could limit Zhou Mubai. Now all he could do was to try his best to cause more trouble for Zhou Mubai.
Zhou Mubai protected the ball and observed the Magic's defense.
After the third quarter, the Magic have basically established the defensive strategy in the fourth quarter.
——Restrict Zhou Mubai and vacate Zhou Mubai’s other teammates in a relatively short way.
Especially in the third quarter, Larry Hughes did not perform particularly well in the three-pointers.
In the third quarter, Larry Hughes had a total of 5 three-pointers, but Larry Hughes only seized one of them.
The 20% shooting percentage is too unreasonable, so before hitting a three-pointer again, the Magic can feel at ease to let go of Larry Hughes.
So this is why the three-point team always needs to have at least one ball-holding point in addition to the core players to help the core share the pressure of defense. There is also the need to break through the deadlock if the three-pointers are not made.
But now this condition is not available to the Knicks.
Larry Hughes and Al Harrington may have had this ability when they were young, but now they are at the end of their careers and their physical fitness has dropped significantly.
They can be competent for a shooter, but they have basically no ability to hold the ball.
So now, if you want to deal with the Magic's defensive strategy, the only one you can count on is Zhou Mubai.
Zhou Mubai still tried to use the pick-and-roll strategy to attack, and the Magic immediately attacked, but the one who let go was Larry Hughes.
This time, Zhou Mubai did not pass, but dribbled back to the three-point line immediately.
Seeing Zhou Mubai withdrawing from the three-point line and not continuing to break through, Van Gundy nodded with satisfaction. The Magic's defensive strategy had achieved results.
"The Knicks' flaws have been exposed. Although the Knicks' offense was so good in the first half, their flaws are obvious. They are very easy to contain with only one ball point.
Now is the time to test Zhou Mubai.
Zhou Mubai must break this deadlock with his own personal ability, but it seems difficult to do it in my opinion.
Howard blocked the basket, and the others attacked Zhou Mubai.
If the Knicks' shooter group can respond after receiving the ball, so that the Magic dare not let it go easily, so that the ball can continue to play.
The current situation is that the Knicks' shooting rate is constantly declining, so they can feel at ease and boldly attack Zhou Mubai.
If you can't hit the basket, you must focus on the outside line.
But with this defensive intensity, it is very difficult to maintain a shooting percentage.
So I think the Magic team is invincible in this game unless Zhou Mubai has a more super-god performance.”
Mike Bryndot.
