Chapter 355 Goodbye, Nix!

From the second half of the third quarter, the Knicks started the point-chasing mode, and the home fans became more and more enthusiastic with this rhythm. After all, this is still the Knicks' territory, but the Jazz's free throws have never stopped.

Back in the fourth quarter, the Knicks took the lead. Smith made a high pick-and-roll to create a shooting opportunity for Starks. He scored the first goal of the last quarter and overtook the score for the first time. Hit the Knicks by surprise.

"Bennott!"

"Come on, let's go!"

Crotty yelled, and successfully got rid of Starks after Benoit put in the pick-and-roll, but the Knicks' defensive focus was not on Crotty at all, and Harper, the backcourt player with the deepest defensive skills, went to match up Fuhenlis and Mason, who was supplementing the defense, didn't take it seriously, and judged that Crotty would pass.

Surprise is the most important thing.

Crotty pulled directly beyond the three-point line and made a decisive shot, while Pat Riley on the sidelines almost cursed, because Mason's defensive action could have been tighter.

Boom!

Crotty hit the iron, and the Jazz's second insurance took effect.

The physically fit Felton had already touched Ewing and stuck him, allowing Li Shengli to hang and beat Smith. After grabbing the board, he took off and dunked for the second time, tying the score again. Smith didn't even have the ability to resist at all, even with There is still room for fouls, and constant small moves are useless.

……

What do you mean?

Hit three points to chase me?

In just one round, Pat Riley felt the Jazz's wind direction change, but the Knicks' situation was just right, and Crotty didn't score, so it wouldn't make him mess up, even if Li Shengli was still wild, but this point It was already within his consideration.

What a waste!

Can this ball be scored?

In the same round, Jerry Sloan frowned, feeling that Crotty's three-pointer was a little unreliable, and the situation was worrying, but it was only one round, and he also scored the second attack, and he didn't Out of proportion.

……

The game continues.

The Knicks' offense is still very stable. Although Starks is about to be crippled by Crotty, Harper's offense has risen, his passing skills are also strong, and Mason's breakthrough points are also as efficient as ever. Ewing was very comfortable, scoring two goals in three rounds, plus 2 of 1 free throws, scoring in every round.

As for Jazz...

Crotty made a three-pointer and three irons, and the inner twin towers have good control over the rebounds, but it does not mean complete control. They failed three first attacks and only got two opportunities for second attacks. Li Shengli scored a goal. , Felton missed a shot.

In contrast, the Jazz seem to have taken a step behind, being led by 3 points by the Knicks, and the game time has been delayed by more than 2 minutes.

……

Fourth round.

The Knicks attacked, Fuhenlisi's defense missed, Harper also made a decisive three-pointer and scored, and looking back, Crotty finally succeeded, retaliated with a three-pointer, and the point difference was still 3 points.

Fifth round.

Smith made a high pick-and-roll, Ewing ran back and pulled Li Shengli away, Starks hit the basket smoothly, but the ball was pinned to the backboard by Li Shengli, who came back from a counter-attack, and sent a nail plate cap, but the Jazz's There was also a problem with the counterattack. Fuhenlis's pass was interrupted, resulting in no score for both sides in this round.

So far, the game time is only 1 minute and 51 seconds left.

……

No matter how good the tactical arrangement is, it needs to be implemented. Obviously, Crotty's touch has become the biggest problem. Even if the defense is still excellent, "Yu does not hide his flaws", but Jerry Sloan can't blame Crotty. After all, he It was a gamble in itself, and the good news is... In the last few minutes, Crotty still scored a three-pointer, and the second twin-tower insurance he formed also made up for some sequelae in the hands of Li Shengli.

It's not a bet loss, because the Knicks' pursuit is not as fierce as before, but it's not a bet win, because the point difference is still suspended by 3 points, and the Knicks' rhythm has slowed down slightly. After Smith scored a goal, When the point difference reached 5 points, Jerry Sloan called a timeout and put Malone on the court, with 1 minute and 30 seconds left.

As for Li Shengli...

Sloan is so fucking ruthless, and he hasn't been able to catch his breath until now. The fans in Salt Lake City are going to scold the street. At one time, they thought it was Sloan who wanted to "persecute" the super center who was about to leave the Jazz, and Sloan There is no way to be scolded by others, but continue to arrange the final tactics, the defense remains the same, and the offense fully cooperates with Li Shengli and Ma Long.

……

In the last 90 seconds, excluding unexpected factors, one side has almost two or three offensive opportunities, and each attack may determine the outcome of this game, making the atmosphere tense and terrifying for both sides returning to the field.

The Jazz attacked first, but there was no chance after fighting outside for a while. The ball was handed over to Malone, and Li Shengli was unsmiling.

This momentary dislocation was enough for Ma Long to pass the ball to Li Shengli, and he did exactly that, and the skinny camel was bigger than Ma. Li Shengli gritted his teeth and squeezed Smith to catch the ball head-on. Turning around was a small hook. The ball was sent to the basket, and Smith's thug action was directly ignored by the referee at this time.

Offensive and defensive easy side.

The Knicks had the lead, so they naturally wanted to delay time. The backcourt turned to the frontcourt slowly like a tractor. But at this time, the Jazz didn't dare to press too hard, because they hadn't reached the point of using fouls to buy time. Under such circumstances, it took nearly 20 seconds for the Knicks to give Ewing the shot, but Li Shengli's defense was timely. The ball failed to score, and Malone took the lead on the rebound.

……

Maybe it was due to the rush of time, the two sides failed to score in the two mutual attacks, but Malone got a chance to hit all 2 free throws, reducing the point difference to 1 point, and in 34 seconds... 1 point The difference is too subtle, but the ball is still in the hands of the Knicks!

Pat Riley immediately called a timeout and arranged the final tactics. It is basically unnecessary to think that the Knicks will play very slowly this round, delaying the attack time to 20 seconds, and even if they cannot score, they still have the advantage. The Jazz can only defend passively and defend this round.

Who will play the key ball for the Knicks?

Jerry Sloan can't guess, he can only take care of the two key points inside, Ewing and Starks, but it turns out that Mason is the Knicks' key player in this round? !However, he didn't dare to go inside, so he could only throw away Benoit and then jump back. In the tense and frightening atmosphere of the audience, this guy...successfully hit the iron!

At this critical moment, Mason's mentality really collapsed. Although the fans at the scene hadn't criticized him yet, he could imagine what would happen after the game.

Even if this round is played, only 14 seconds are left for the Jazz, but the initiative is still in the hands of the Jazz, and Jerry Sloan also called the last timeout, preparing to deal with the upcoming large-scale defense of the Knicks. As for who Come to execute the lore... Compared with the uncertainty of the Knicks in the previous round, the Jazz's side seems too straightforward. It is definitely one of Li Shengli and Malone.

……

From the specific running position, passing and receiving, to the positioning of everyone in the frontcourt, Jerry Sloan has covered everything, and the Jazz generals who returned to the field received the strongest boos from the home fans, especially Fanatic fans like Spike even crossed the shield wall, cursed loudly, and said whatever was dirty.

……

"It's time for the lore!" Ma Long said with a little excitement in his seriousness, his adrenaline surged, and the boos of the home fans had no effect on him at all, "It's time to say goodbye to you kid."

"You talk a lot!" Li Shengli sneered at Ma Long's pretentiousness, "I'll cover you in a while, don't just goof around, I don't want to see you anymore."

"Me too, I don't want to see you bastard!"

"Then you have to work hard."

"Let's go, don't talk nonsense with me!"

"Damn, didn't you talk nonsense to me first?"

Scolding after a few words is probably the normal state of the two of them. Even the most critical moment of the game has not changed. It also became quite difficult. Fortunately, Crotty ran out of a chance, and the moment he caught the ball, the seconds counted down, and Starks also caught up.

"Ferhenris, this way!"

"coming!"

The two guards are naturally easier to control the ball than the big one, but the Knicks' tight press still made it difficult to pass and receive the ball. As the pass passed, almost all the passing routes were locked, even to the three-point line. It was not easy to press inside. Fortunately, Benoit's pick-and-roll cooperation sent Fuhenlis into the inside and handed the ball to Li Shengli.

Is it Li Shengli? !

Ewing held his breath at this moment and came up, because there were less than 5 seconds left in the time, and someone would definitely make a move in these 5 seconds, either Li Shengli or Ma Long, and Ma Long's side had already been watched dead, Li Shengli made the shot Most likely.

"Come on, bastard, you have to die here today!" Ewing had suffered enough from Li Shengli in the entire series, and at this most critical time, he also turned into a raging ape, blood spurting, and the floor under his feet It's about dignity, you can't take a step back!

Li Shengli's state has dropped a lot now, but Ewing has become ruthless. There is no reason for him to back down within these 5 seconds, and he simply bends down and confronts the gorilla.

For the first push, Ewing's counterattack was very strong, and the second push was still the same. As for the third time... only half of the force was exerted, so that Ewing's counterattack force could not be recovered for a short time, and he quickly Turning his back made Ewing feel cold all over.

This is cheated?

Smith, come fuck him!

There was a problem with Ewing, and Smith had to cooperate with Ewing to block Li Shengli, even if he gave up Malone, because there was not much time left, and the two not only blocked shots, but also wanted to block Li Shengli's points.

It's now!

Malone was ready the moment Ewing made a defensive error, and Li Shengli saw Smith rushing over, and immediately hit the ground and passed the ball to Malone on the other side.

"Goodbye Knicks trash!"

"I declare that the finals... come to an end!"
