I really don't want to win the MVP

Chapter 207

In the last 1 minute and 06 seconds, Jiang Mu dragged his tired body and exhausted all his skills to lead Carol by half a body.

Carol quickly retreated close to Jiang Mu.

Jiang Mu quickly received the ball and took a step back, opening up more than one meter of space in an instant.

Raising your hand is a three-pointer.

brush!Hit again!

At 111:113, the Knicks relied on Jiang Mu's two crucial goals to narrow the point difference to 2 points.

But these two goals seem to have exhausted all Jiang Mu's luck in this game. Carroll was instructed that he would rather let Jiang Mu enter the interior to let Ibaka and Scola defend, and force Jiang Mu to pass the ball or play hard. Jiang Mu cannot be allowed to continue to shoot that terrifying three-pointer.

The Raptors have already realized that Jiang Mu's three-pointer is too terrifying.

Although the Raptors missed a shot after spending 24 seconds, Jiang Mu didn't get a good shot at all, so he had to pass the ball to another key player-Anthony!
Anthony tried his best to block Ibaka's strong shot, and the basketball bounced a few times on the rim and rolled out.

Lopez pushed Scola to get the rebound, but was pulled down for the second offense.

Lopez made one of two free throws, and the Knicks finally chased the score to 112:113, only 1 point behind.

The most critical moment of the game finally arrived.

O'Neal: "In the last 39 seconds, the Knicks trailed by 1 point and the Raptors had the ball. The Knicks must defend the ball and then score again to guarantee victory!"

Barkley: "Yes, if the Knicks have me at this time, I believe I will squeeze Scola and hit this goal!"

O'Neill: "Okay, Mr. Charles, don't remind people of your fat butt anymore. If it were me, I would definitely be able to dunk inside and score a 2+1, and then the Knicks would be 1 point behind. 2 points ahead."

Barkley laughed loudly: "I said, brother, I admit that you may be able to dunk, but are you sure which one you can hit and add a penalty?"

O'Neal: "."

After the last timeout of the Raptors, Lowry was almost missed by Jiang Mu, but he still used his fat butt to turn his back to Jiang Mu and brought the ball to the frontcourt.

DeRozan used an off-ball screen from the left until he came out of the right three-point line to receive the ball.

Jiang Mu looked bad, because the player who changed defense at this time turned out to be Porzingis.

DeRozan controlled the clock and didn't start dribbling until there were six seconds left on the shot clock.

I saw DeRozan rushing from the left side with a change of direction, but Porzingis reacted quickly, and he did not lose his position after taking a big step back.

But DeRozan stopped suddenly. Just when Porzingis thought DeRozan was going to use his most retro mid-range shot, DeRozan suddenly handed the ball to his right hand.

Porzingis' center of gravity was unstable for a while, DeRozan kicked his left foot, and his body took another step to the right, completely pulling out the space.

brush!
111: 115.

Rice: "Oh my god, this is the ball that killed the game. DeRozan's ball is very similar to Kobe's countless key balls!"

Hines: "The Knicks are in danger!"

The Knicks fans at the scene fell into a brief silence, and then there were countless sighs, which were deafening for a while.

With a difference of 4 points, it is basically impossible to tie in one round, and the time is only 15.9 seconds left.

Fisher called the final timeout of the game.

"Listen, this ball must be rushed! Whoever has the opportunity, shoot it. Use the No. 6 tactic to set a double screen for Jiang, and then set up a position with few people. Jiang has to shoot quickly if he has a chance, and everyone else should do it too." Good preparation for catching and shooting when Jiang can't make a shot."

"Shoot like you hit in countless trainings! Don't have psychological pressure!"

Dolan's face turned dark, this is the moment when the Knicks rarely make Dolan unhappy this year.

No one on the Raptors defended Lopez who served the ball, but two people followed Jiang Mu like a shadow. Jiang Mu couldn't catch the ball for a while, and his teammates had no chance.

If there is a violation of the service time limit at this time, the game will end early.

Jiang Mu consumed his last sliver of energy and burst out to run towards the backcourt at a speed that surpassed everyone else. Lopez quickly passed the ball to Jiang Mu's hands with quick eyesight.

Everyone quickly settled down again, and Luo Erui immediately stuck to Jiang Mu's body.

It took another 4 seconds for Jiang Mu to catch the ball from the backcourt and bring the ball to the frontcourt. After two consecutive crotches, Jiang Mu passed Lowry in an instant, taking advantage of Lowry's return. , Jiang Mu pulls up and casts!
brush!
"Damn! What a big heart! Is he really a rookie?"

"Going in again? In the end, the Knicks' offense relied entirely on Jiang Mu!"

Lowry immediately complained to the referee, because Jiang Mu stepped on the line, and the goal could only count as two points.

113:115, only 6 seconds left.

As soon as the ball was sent, Jiang Mu quickly fouled.

Lowry made two free throws!

113:117, still a 4-point difference.

The Knicks did not pause and could only serve from the backcourt. In 5.4 seconds, the game had lost hope.

The Raptors didn't let up. Scola was the only one in the three-point line in the backcourt. Everyone stood between the midfield and the three-point line and cut off all Jiang Mu's three-pointers. possibility.

Coach Casey's thinking is very simple, let Jiang Mu be as accurate as possible, catch the ball directly from the backcourt and make a shot, and you will recognize it!

But the Raptors hold a 4-point advantage, and the Knicks still can't win.

Not even the possibility of playing overtime.

It must be too late to advance from the backcourt. The Knicks made a long pass to Afflalo in the frontcourt. Afflalo directly faced Scola for a layup.

Still miss!

Scola was not fouled again after grabbing the rebound, because the game has lost its suspense.

Time ran out, and the Raptors unexpectedly won a victory at Madison Square Garden with 113:119!
The cheers of the Raptors were in stark contrast to the dejection of the Knicks players.

Dolan stood up and went in the direction of the locker room without saying anything.

O'Neill and Barkley looked at each other, and at the same time, there was a realization in their hearts:
The Knicks, who lost one game at home, lost their advantage at the beginning of this round of the series. The Knicks, which had a high probability of advancing, will directly reduce the probability of advancing to less than 40% because of this loss.

After the game, the press officer went to the Knicks locker room to ask about the post-game interview.

Jiang Mu looked at the somewhat quiet locker room. The boss in the locker room, Anthony, was in no mood to say words of encouragement because of his poor performance in the fourth quarter.

At such a moment, many core players were unwilling to attend the post-match interview, but Jiang Mu stood up after thinking about it.

"Dude! I'll be in the press room on time for the interview!"

"Carmelo, would you like to come with me?"

Under everyone's wondering eyes, Anthony seemed to sense Jiang Mu's meaning.

"Of course! Dude! It's just a loss. You know, I'm very resistant to pressure! You little guy under 20 seems to have doubts about me!"

The atmosphere in the Knicks locker room immediately changed, and Fisher looked at Jiang Mu with meaningful eyes again.
