I really don't want to win the MVP

Chapter 133 Battle Knight (5)

"Camero and Jiang come down to rest, and Robin will fight for a while."

Jiang Mu was stunned for a moment when he heard Fisher's words, and Anthony acted as if it should be taken for granted.

Fisher continued to encourage everyone, and Jiang Mu calmly asked Lopez next to him: "Why did you replace me and Carmelo at this time?"

Lopez was not surprised by Jiang Mu's question, but he couldn't explain anything to Jiang Mu at this time.

"Listen to the coach, I'll tell you later."

Jiang Mu seemed to have guessed something, but he couldn't get confirmation, which made Jiang Mu feel very bad.

"Coach! My physical strength is very good, there is no problem at all, I want to continue playing!"

Fisher was very surprised by Jiang Mu's request. Although Jiang Mu and Dolan had a special relationship, the young man had always been very humble. Although Fisher had no doubt that Jiang Mu's quiet appearance was hiding a killer character, but at least never in the first few games of his rookie season.

"Jiang, I think you should rest now!"

The Knicks players were not curious that Jiang Mu would ask to play. Everyone knew Fisher's thoughts, but everyone also learned about Jiang Mu's competitive spirit in just three months.

He was always the first to arrive at the gym and the last to leave.

Jiang Mu even added a few sets of medium and long-range shots after strength training in order to exercise the stability of his shots under fatigue.

This young man has the tenacity and hard work of any young man the Knicks have ever seen.

This is a good advantage of Jiang Mu, but in the hearts of the Knicks players, it also has a bad side.

Training requires planning and science, and games also require strategy and trade-offs.

Facing the Big Three who had completely recovered in the second half, and facing the Knicks' cold away game, although the game still has 6 minutes to go, 13 points behind is not too much, but the Knicks basically have no hope of winning. It is something that a professional player who has played for so many years can expect.

Since the probability of winning is too low, it is not shameful for the team to challenge the finals away. It is better to save energy and return to the home court to win a victory.

And after experiencing the entire disappointing season of last season, the entire Knicks team has a negative state, and losing has become the norm. No one will care about last season's bottom-to-last team losing to the Cavaliers in the finals Team.

Although the start of the new season with 4 consecutive victories made the Knicks feel the joy of winning, the genes of losing are not so easy to change.

"Coach! I still want to play! Don't worry, I just want to go up and learn, learn Irving's scoring methods, learn how to defend, and I will eventually face more stars with strong personal abilities in the future. I will pay attention to it!"

Jiang Mu's tone was very calm, and the imagined arguments and conflicts did not happen.

But Jiang Mu's calm words fell into everyone's ears, but everyone was shocked: This kid will definitely be great in the future!
Fisher sighed: "Okay, you go!"

Jiang Mu showed a smile.

"Thank you coach!"

Rice: "We saw that Carmelo didn't play. Defending LeBron is indeed physical work. He needs to rest. If the Knicks don't change in the next short time, Carmelo probably won't play again. "

The game continues.

Jiang Mu never wants to lose. Every NCAA game is basically under Jiang Mu's control, but in the NBA, although Jiang Mu is very strong at this time, he is far from being able to control the game.

Perhaps the only thing that can be relied on is Jiang Mu's psychological advantage that he doesn't have to worry too much about getting injured, and his shooting rate is much higher than others at critical moments.

But what he needs to face is the Cleveland Cavaliers, the league's top strength, the top guard Kyrie Irving who is directly facing up, and even LeBron James who helps defend from time to time.

A flame seemed to burn in Jiang Mu's heart.

Then fight hard, there is nothing to be sad about losing, after all, there are 82 games in the season.

Holding the ball, Jiang Mu completely abandoned tactics in his mind, and just played according to his own observation of the situation on the field.

Jiang Mu first imitated Owen's way and used the advantages of a large change of direction and speed to pass Owen. He took advantage of James' defense and hit a quick two-pointer. Then when he returned to defense, he was lucky and stabbed JR's pass. The ball strode to the frontcourt.

The Cavaliers returned to defense quickly. Jiang Mu, who was under one-on-two, stabilized the ball first. Just when everyone thought Jiang Mu was waiting for the Knicks to attack and settle down, Jiang Mu suddenly accelerated again.

Owen quickly took a step back in shock, trying to block Jiang Mu's breakthrough route.

But Jiang Mu stepped back instantly to open the distance, and quickly shot a three-pointer.

brush!
Hit again!

At 71:79, the point difference was instantly reduced to 8 points in just over a minute.

When Coach Blatt saw Anthony off the court, he wanted to remove James first, and then replace Irving and Love according to the situation. Who knew that Jiang Mu scored 5 points in a row, so the prepared substitution was not implemented.

Blatt is not worried about the Knicks reversal, just like the Knicks will not feel that they can reverse the same.

But the Knicks bench still stood up and applauded Jiang Mu.

Jiang Mu scored 5 points in total before scoring 11 points in a row just now, and now he scored his 16th point in a blink of an eye.

But Jiang Mu's organizational ability has surprised everyone - 15 assists!
Every player on the Cavaliers has a desire to limit Jiang Mu at this time. They don't want this game to be an exhibition game for a rookie.

Next, the Cavaliers fouled after James made a strong breakthrough, and after making two free throws, Jiang Mu's defense of the entire Cavaliers team rose again.

As long as Jiang Mu breaks through, someone must defend or double-team him.

Next, Jiang Mu missed a mid-range shot, rushed into the basket and was interfered by James and missed. Fortunately, the Cavaliers also missed, only relying on Love's free throw to score 1 point.

With 3 minutes and 47 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the score was 71:82, and the Cavaliers temporarily led by double digits.

When Love made a free throw, Jiang Mu still took the opportunity to communicate with his teammates about the next play.

Jiang Mu went inside again with the ball, and Thompson, who faked a shot and tricked him into defending, pressed his wrist down again and didn't receive the ball at all.

At the moment of James' defense, Jiang Mu flicked his wrist and passed the ball to Porzingis, who was unguarded on the bottom line.

Porzingis finally hit his second three-pointer of the game.

Jiang Mu stepped forward to give him a high five to celebrate, and Porzingis was also very happy.

Irving used the pick-and-roll to break into the inside line, passed Lopez with a European step, and made a low layup. Jiang Mu got rid of the pick-and-roll and followed him all the way. After jumping high, his fingertips touched the ball after Irving's shot.

Missed!

After Lopez grabbed the rebound, he gave it to Jiang Mu as soon as possible. Jiang Mu flew with the ball, passing Thompson and JR in succession. Facing James' big hat, he flicked his wrist again and passed it to Garcia who followed up behind him. In Lowe's hands, Galloway dunked in his first dunk of the season.

73: 82.

Only 3 minute and 16 seconds left.

James took a deep look at Jiang Mu's back, and said to Owen who was catching the ball:
"I'll guard against him!"
