302. "The Return of the King"
After the second half of the game started, the Eagles played very disorganized.
There is neither Ratliff nor Liu Mang, and it is not like at the beginning of a game when Liu Mang is sitting on the sidelines. There is the best substitute in the league on the sidelines. For the Hawks, it has been unknowingly.
It became a kind of psychological protection.
The strong desire to win did not bring much help to the Eagles this time. Instead, they played in a hurry. Jason Terry missed several three-pointers, and Raheem's singles were unable to cause real damage.
Nearly half of the third quarter was played, and the point difference increased from 6 points at the end of the first half to 12 points!
54 to 66, halfway through the third quarter, the Eagles have been widened by the Knicks!
Coach Kruger called a timeout with a serious look on his face.
When the team lacks a defensive core and a core point guard, it is difficult to have truly adjustable tactics. After all, the Hawks are not a so-called team team. They have always been a star-playing team, even with cavalry tactics.
This fast-break style, which was born out of run-and-gun, also relies on the speed and three-point ability of Liu Mang and Jason Terry, as well as the ability of Raheem, Muhammad, Newbell and others to rush down and grab rebounds.
, which is obviously different from run-and-gun. It is an independent new tactical play, and it is also the famous tactic of Coach Kruger.
Just when Coach Kruger wanted to arrange the defense and stabilize it, a commotion broke out.
There were boos, cheers, exclamations...all kinds of reactions and sounds.
Some fans are indeed die-hard Knicks fans. No matter whose fault it is, they are all complaining about Sprewell. Although they don’t like Sprewell, they are not even close to the Knicks players.
Like madmen with eccentric personalities, the NBA is like a big company with 29 "competitive departments". In each department, there may not be harmony. Some colleagues are just annoying, but they are still in the same department after all. In private
It's hard to say how it will be, but we still need to give face when we meet, and we need to be united when we are outside.
Because this was our own player, many fans at the scene booed. However, seeing the obvious strangulation marks and bruises on the neck of the guy who came out of the tunnel, the boos gradually disappeared.
On the contrary, the majority of the cheers came from the ordinary fans in New York who always had a swaying attitude and loved to watch the excitement, and there were also the screams of surprise at Liu Mang returning to the stadium after his neck was strangled like this.
The fans in front of the TV were also stunned. At this time, the picture was of course shown to the players' tunnel. Looking at Liu Mang, who seemed to be uncomfortable with his neck raised, some fans with fragile hearts burst into tears...
Coach Kruger secretly yelled, "It's not good, the rookie is trying to show off" again!
Sure enough, Coach Kruger looked at the visiting team tunnel next to his bench. Liu Mang's scary-looking bruises and red marks on his neck that had not completely dissipated shocked his visual nerves.
It's a pity that Liu Mang doesn't have the function of having his own BGM like Yin Zheng. Otherwise, if he plays the-mass at this time, it is the legendary German war song of the early 20th century, and it will be completely on fire!
"Ace, are you ready to play? You should rest!" Coach Kruger stepped forward and said worriedly.
At this time, the camera was pulled up very powerfully, and even the big screen at the home court cut to this picture.
Teams in big cities are always like this. There is no unity among various departments, and various interests are complicated.
The fans in front of the TV and the New York fans who were still screaming and cheering at the scene saw Liu Mang shake his head after hearing the coach's words to let him rest, and did not say anything, leaving only a firm look in his eyes.
Last game?
Definitely want it!
However, it’s not just about showing off, it’s also about winning!
Refuse to lose two games in a row! Refuse to lose!
Liu Mang made full preparations in the locker room, took some stamina medicine, found a ball to get a feel for the ball, moved around a bit and felt good, and went on the court!
Then, he stopped talking. I saw Coach Kruger’s interview on TV before and thought it would be better not to talk!
Sure enough, the fans were completely moved when they saw Liu Mang "unable to speak"!
This is a real basketball player!
This time, Liu Mang became popular again!
Not a vulgar image, not a shameless image, but a rare positive and majestic image!
…
…
Regardless of the reaction of the fans at the scene, Liu Mang received the notice!
"Ding... the host has become the most dazzling star in today's game. The mission of Shining Madison is completed, and the reward is 3000 superstar points."
None of this matters anymore. The 3,000 superstar value just makes up for the 3,000 points spent on healing injuries. It also adds 11 injury potions. Suddenly, there are only 15 injury potions left, so I have to start saving some more.
, otherwise it will be used up after just one or two months of training.
The most important thing now is the competition!
After suffering so much and losing so much, I finally completed that crappy mission.
Sure enough, winning is the last word!
Liu Mang has only one thought in his mind right now, which is to win!
But the Knicks' money is really not in vain, although except for Sprewell, no contract is a good deal, including Alan Houston, whose contract is more than a little bit higher.
But the premium, not the junk contract, shows that these people must be capable, but the total salary of this group of people is not worth nearly 90 million, which seemed incredible at the beginning of the century.
Regardless of whether he likes Sprewell or not, these are his teammates. He cannot lose and lose the team! Sprewell is such a bad person. If he still loses the game, it will really become the so-called angry after losing.
of using dirty tactics against their opponent's team.
Since everything is dirty, how can you still carry the title of being dirty only when you lose?
For the first time in the past two or three years, the Knicks were so united, as united as straw twisted into a rope, and they played a very beautiful combination, with Mark Jackson's distribution, Alan Houston's movement, and Kurt Thomas' pick-and-roll.
And defense and mid-range shooting, the rebounding and off-ball pick-and-rolls of Clarence Witherspoon, a short rebounding substitute forward who was dug out from the Cavaliers last summer, and Harrington's high-flying play under the basket.
All the time was spent.
Of course, this cannot be ruled out as the reason why there is no madman who plays with the outside core style no matter what.
After the timeout, Coach Kruger asked the team doctor who followed Liu Mang into the court. It was not Uncle Callahan, who was smoking lonely in the bathroom, but another team doctor. The team doctor said that Liu Mang was fine to play. Kruger
The coach was relieved and replaced Liu Mang.
Chapter completed!
