Chapter 345 Killing Crazy Killing Crazy
In recent years, people's impression of the Magic, a team that has risen at an unimaginable speed, was initially a dominant super inside combination plus a group of outside shooters. When Davis entered the league, it became a super combination of inside and outside, the twin stars.

Their style of play has subverted many people's basketball concepts. In this era, teams that shoot more than a dozen or even twenty three-pointers per game are rare, but the Magic not only did this, but also did it very well.

Gradually, the Magic's perimeter shooters, represented by Davis, became the targets of other teams to imitate.

If you say, who is the most accurate shooter on the Magic team.

Maybe 80.00% of the people would say Michael DeWeese, [-]% said it was Clay, and the remaining [-]% said it was Anderson or Scott.

However, the person with the highest three-point shooting percentage of the Magic has only one name after 92 years.

His name is Steve Kerr.

According to the Magic's internal statistics, Cole's average three-point shooting percentage in the past four years is 44.4%.

And Davis, the three-pointer who changed the entire league's perimeter ecology, made 43.2% of his three-pointers.

It's just that, many of DeWeese's shots are forced against the defense, while Cole is just a pure shooter.

However, the shooting rate is not deceiving. In this regard, Cole is the most accurate person in the Magic and even in the entire league.

After the game with the Raptors, the Magic returned to their home court and prepared to play against the Knicks.

In this game, D'Antoni rested O'Neal for the sake of the future.

Originally thought that without the inside pillar, the Magic would overturn at home.

And the script in the first quarter really thinks so.

However, in the second quarter, D'Antoni rotated normally. After thinking about it, he replaced Cole, who was more experienced, and did not use Van Exel. No one thought that this substitution changed the direction of the entire game.

Kerr walked onto the field, looked at the 22-32 score on the scoreboard, silently lowered his head and re-tied his shoelaces.

Then, he started his own show.

Garnett was ready to singles Oakley inside, but he was keenly aware that Cole ran out of space.

He passed the ball directly.

Cole catches the ball and makes a shot.

"Cole made a three-pointer and the goal was scored." The commentator was a little weak.

In his opinion, Cole's three-pointer cannot affect the overall situation.

Starks' layup was interfered by Garnett, Mason got the rebound, and Cole advanced with the ball.

Cole came to the frontcourt, and Starks had already returned to the defense, but his position was a bit inward. Maybe he felt that Cole was not the offensive point of the Magic.

But Kerr jumped right up and threw the ball with Starks two steps away.

"Cole! Shoot directly! The ball is scored again!" The commentator raised his spirits, because Cole scored two three-pointers in a row, and the point difference has been narrowed to only four points.

Veteran Wilkins broke through Horry's defense forcibly, scored a layup against him, and reopened the point difference.

Starks also kept an eye out, and went up after halftime.

Kerr passed the ball to Horry and started running himself.

Horry lobs the ball to Garnett, and Garnett singles Oakley.

Cole once again ran out of the open space. With the help of Mason's off-ball pick-and-roll, he ran directly beyond the three-point line in front of Garnett with his hands open.

Garnett passed the ball subconsciously, and Cole made another shot.

"It's Cole again! He made a shot! The ball went in!!" The commentator opened his eyes and shouted excitedly.

Three of three shots, Cole's performance made people realize that the Magic's outside shooters are not only Clay and Davis. On their bench, there is an unknown veteran who will stand up without hesitation when the team needs him most.

"Cole! He's shot again! Fourth! Goal in!!!"

"Go in again!"

"Oh my god! He made another shot! The Knicks called a timeout!"

Jeff Van Gundy called a timeout with a helpless face. He really didn't expect that the situation that was going smoothly was completely reversed because of an unknown person.

6 minutes, six three-pointers, all hits!Cole stopped the Knicks abruptly on his own.

Van Gundy reluctantly replaced Ewing. In just 6 minutes, the Knicks went from leading by [-] points to trailing behind, which made him unacceptable.

Ewing is worthy of the Knicks team's pinnacle. As soon as he came on the court, he hit Garnett twice in a row, helping the Knicks stabilize the situation.

It's Cole again!

The Knicks were ready to double-team Cole, but this time he made a gesture, and Starks subconsciously rushed forward.

Cole sticks directly to Starks, and then shoots.

The referee's whistle rang without hesitation.

At the same time, Cole shot the ball in a very awkward posture and plunged into the basket.

The fans are boiling.

Scoring six in a row is not enough, Cole scored a 6+3 on top of the elite defender, John Starks.
Starks has been tortured crazy, his head in his hands in disbelief, watching the ball fall into the basket.

For Cole, there is no reason not to score this kind of free throw. After making free throws steadily, he scored 4 points in this round, and his total score also reached 22 points.

He only used one offense to offset the four points that Ewing had worked so hard for two rounds, and he got it up and down.

Although the magic of Kerr's one-shot shooting disappeared next, he made two more three-pointers in the remaining time.

This also brought his scoring in a single quarter to 28 points.

"Horrific shooting ability, Steve Kerr scored 28 points in a single quarter, helping the Magic overtake the score! It was an exciting first half! The Magic led the Knicks by 6 points. Let's see what adjustments the two teams will make at halftime."

During the intermission, even DeWeese came to the locker room to congratulate Cole on his outburst.

The seeds that had been planted for four years finally germinated. . .

Next, DeWeese wants to see when another lucky star, Xiangrui, Robert Horry, will show his value.

"Really thought that Cole was signed to retire? Isn't this effective?" Davis thought happily.

Cole calmly accepted the congratulations from his teammates, but his trembling hands showed that his heart was not as calm as he showed.

"Steve, you continue to play in the third quarter, shoot when you have a chance, and organize your teammates to attack if you don't have a chance, understand?" D'Antoni specially arranged tactics for Cole.

Cole nodded.

"Go, play, and win this victory."

The members of the Magic team, who were full of morale, stepped onto the court full of confidence.
