This point guard is great

Chapter 268 This Is Not a Reason to Lose
The game starts again.

Now the Magic are playing a high-end game, directly removing the point guard, allowing Hill and Tracy McGrady to control the ball, and the remaining three positions are all placed inside.

Dayao needs to maintain his physical strength and can't play. Now the Knicks' inside pillar is rookie McCoy. Facing three 2.08 opponents, McCoy was beaten and Bei didn't know where he was.

Then, there was the performance of Hill and McGrady. These two people passed the ball to each other non-stop, and when necessary, inside the pick-and-roll, they beat the Knicks defense like no one.

The assassin was stunned, the All-Stars saw this thing too, but he always thought it was a joke, who knew it was really so powerful in actual combat! ?

After swearing at the street starting with F, the assassin called a timeout.

But Ma Hong, who has always been calm, looked gloomy. The Magic’s hand is really beautiful, and he was really caught off guard. In this era, it is not easy for a team to have a top outside line.

Surprises come so suddenly not only to others, but also to yourself sometimes.

Calling a timeout for the Knicks is also helpless. They can only compress Dayao's rest time and let him play in advance to barely stabilize his position, making the game look like a tug-of-war.

Now the Magic can't beat Yao by himself, or even by two, so let's put three, even if the small forward's height is 203, at least he can make fouls, hug Yao and affect him, so Yao's rebounding ability and offensive power will decline.

If Dayao continues to fight so domineeringly, the Magic may really be defeated by Dayao.

But unfortunately, everyone knows that with Dayao's body and the amount of tasks, it is absolutely impossible to win all the games on the court.

The game continued under the anxious eyes of countless fans. In the fourth quarter, the Magic even tied the score with the 30+ scored by Hill and Tracy McGrady!

However, the battle had already entered the state of a meat grinder at this time. The Magic lost 5 inside players. Although Yao scored more than 40 points, his huge body and footsteps began to become exaggerated. After the third quarter, his movements became slower and slower.

In the 3rd minute of the fourth quarter, the score was still tight, but the novice Yao was the first to be stopped. With a large double-double of 46 points and 20 rebounds, Yao really didn't have any fuel in his body and couldn't take a step. Sprewell cursed "trash" and the game continued.

The assassin scolded the madman just now, but everyone knew that it was useless.

"Yao, don't mind, Latrier is such a person, you have performed very well." The assassin said the truth, the Magic's tactical surprise attack was so powerful that neither he nor Mahon could handle it.

Dayao can sustain until now as a rookie, he can almost become the king.

After taking two gulps of Gatorade, Dayao grabbed his knee in pain. He wasn't injured, but his knee didn't work. Now Yao is envious of O'Neill. That guy weighs more than him but can easily play the whole court.

Looking at the field in despair, Dayao was expecting a miracle.

Without Dayao, Mahon allowed Hamilton and Sprewell to strengthen their offensive capabilities, exchange points as much as possible, and began to use the inside pick-and-roll to give them space. After Dayao fell, Hill also fell in the last 2 minutes before the end of the game.

No one thought that the battle between the Magic and the Knicks would reach the current situation, with 2 minutes left in the game.

The Knicks still stood in the backcourt of Mahon, who was already sweating. He played 32 minutes today, and McGrady stood on the side of the Magic, but today he was also very tired.

Knicks 102 to 101 Orlando Magic.

The Magic have the ball.

In addition to the top superstars, the pillars of each team, in fact, the consumption of ordinary players on both sides is also exaggerated. The Magic even had to send out a lineup of drinking fountains. In this regard, the Knicks still have some advantages. At least the madmen and runners can still persist.

But the court is constantly changing. The Magic have lost for too long and lost too much. Facing the new king, the Knicks, they played extremely persistently. Even the drinking fountains are doing their best to create obstacles for their opponents.

At the last moment, McGrady was still good at singles, and Sprewell and Hamilton double-marked him and remained unmoved.

On the Knicks' side, Mahon's ball control is still steady despite his sloppy footsteps. Every offensive combing and every pass is like a flying knife, and the knife is inserted into the magic's vitals.

Hill and Dayao sat on their respective benches and prayed for the team.

The physical strength maintained by Mahon and McGrady was also declining, and finally Rivers called a timeout first, and it was the last 40 seconds!

104:103.

McGrady's muscles are trembling slightly. Now McGrady is unable to make every shot accurately due to the tense and high-intensity battle. Every breakthrough and footstep is resisted by willpower. Although Mahon looks worse than him, he insists on holding the Knicks.

This is the moment of tactics. Whether to defend with all your strength after attacking, or just spend time to play the final blow, this requires Rivers to make a decision. There is no room for extravagance and waste in the game on the court. This decision may be a factor of victory or a factor of failure.

Mahon returned to the bench and sat silently on the bench. The Knicks' younger brothers brought ice packs and buckets to them.

However, Mahon knows that these things are of little use. In fact, his consumption is not so exaggerated. He is just pretending. If his physical strength is increased now, the tactical strength of the teams in the playoffs will definitely increase accordingly. If he is discovered a game later, the Knicks' advantage will be maintained better, and the winning rate will be even greater.

However, this is not a reason to lose.

From a long-term perspective, losing this game is more beneficial to the Knicks, and will make the Magic or a potential Knicks opponent think that they have a "Knicks killer" in the playoffs.

It is a long-term vision, and if you lose a game that can be won, you should stick to what you should persist, and you will never lose a game that can be won.

This time, for the first time, Mahon was not self-determined.

In the past, Mahon was always alone, so all decisions were made in his heart. Now it is different. He has teammates, Klaus and the assassin who value him, and there are girlfriends, best friends, disciples and fans who cheer for him on the sidelines.

So, how to choose?
The endgame is often more difficult than the overall game. The more the endgame, the more choices to think about.

Inexplicably, Ma Hong seemed to see Nao Ke, the guy who was training his fingers. According to the gossip, he was already arguing with the Zen master to make an early appearance, because the doctor only advised him to rest for two weeks.

There was no mistake in my guess.

If it was him, there should be no entanglement, that guy seems to have always been the pinnacle representative of the reckless offensive style, always looking towards victory.

The silent Ma Hong returned to reality, and the teammates around him were waiting for him to make a decision on the final tactics.
