Chapter 55
Arenas also had some excessive shooting in this game, and he kept shooting from beyond the three-point line, but in the crucial fourth quarter, he made a hit against Marbury's defense.

After the Knicks led by two quarters, they were overtaken by the Wizards.

The state is not good, and Crawford, who was just replaced, tried another three-pointer, but still missed.

In exchange for the Wizards to attack, Larry Hughes made a successful foul and made two free throws.

What to do, if this continues, the game will be dangerous.

There is no way to defend by Li Hai alone, and the head coach has been emphasizing it all the time.

If you want to win the game, at the critical moment of the fourth quarter, you must increase the success rate of the offense.

"Jamal, I feel good now, pass the ball to me if you have a chance."

Li Hai was actively communicating with his teammates. He had to do his best. Even if he couldn't change the coach's arrangement for the time being, he still had to start from a small perspective so that others could see his efforts and achievements.

Crawford also knew that his hands felt cold in this game. After the ball was missed just now, he didn't have the idea of ​​continuing to make strong shots.

After Marbury broke through, it was passed to Kurt Thomas who was pulled out. Kurt Thomas saw Jamison who was in front of him and distributed the ball to Crawford on the side. Crawford saw an empty cut to the basket Li Hai, who was under the ball, jumped up and made a fake pass. Li Hai caught the ball and hit the board easily.

In the current Knicks lineup, only Li Hai can do this kind of active running.

But then Jamison scored 5 points in a row, three-pointers and long-range mid-range shots, Kurt Thomas did not keep up with the opponent's movement.

The Knicks fell behind by 8 points at once, with just over 2 minutes left.

Head coach Lenny Wilkens immediately called a timeout, not many points, but with the Wizards' offensive power, if the Knicks want to catch up at the last moment, they must prevent the opponent from scoring.

The Wizards have good offensive power in all three points, and Li Hai couldn't figure out how to stop the opponent from scoring.

"Coach, you said that we are going to defend the opponent's player to death now, let me defend, and I promise to be able to defend well."

He took the initiative to ask that if he didn't win a few games quickly, Li Hai's anger would not be smooth.

"Young man, defense is not your job alone. As long as you follow the content of our training, it will definitely work. In the tens of seconds before the time reaches 2 minutes, we will adopt... Shark-cutting tactics."

The hacking shark tactic was originally a tactic aimed at the unsolvable O'Neal, using his only weakness in free throw shooting to get the ball. Now it is gradually applied to other players with poor free throw shooting. Brandon Hay of the Wizards Wood is such a player.

The Knicks had already reached the foul count at this time, and immediately after re-playing, they fouled Brandon Heywood.

Heywood made the first free throw after knocking and knocking, and Li Hai's heart felt as if he had been hammered.

If the foul tactics give the opponent points, there is no hope for this game. The important thing is that the opponent can only make free throws in a hurry.

Heywood missed the second penalty very neatly.

Li Hai bounced up like a spring that had been depressed for a long time, and rushed forward when he caught the rebound.

He increased his speed and was almost unstoppable. He passed Jarvis Hayes in no time. Arenas, who was standing at the back, didn't want Li Hai to play a morale-boosting attack, so he stretched out his hand to pull him.

Arenas' hand was on Li Hai's arm, but Li Hai didn't slow down at all, and started straight away, leading Arenas staggering two steps forward, and dunking the ball in with one hand.

The referee's whistle sounded, 2+1.

Li Hai made a free throw, and the gap between the two sides became 6 points.

It was still a foul against Heywood. Li Hai's domineering attack just now put some pressure on Heywood.

This time he missed two free throws, Li Hai caught the rebound again, broke through to the free throw line and made a mid-range shot, the gap immediately became 4 points, and Heywood was replaced.

The two rounds did not play well, and Arenas missed a mid-range shot in the face of Marbury's defense.

When it was the Knicks' turn to attack, the Wizards had stepped up their defense against Li Hai.

Li Hai squeezed the defenders to ask for the ball, but Marbury hesitated and didn't give it. Under the pick-and-roll of his teammates, he took the ball to the basket and killed it, but Jamison interfered when picking the basket and missed.

If Marbury can still be a few centimeters taller, the result may be different. The Knicks have a good offensive power in the backcourt, but they are physically disadvantaged against many opponents.

Then Larry Hughes made the same breakthrough, but it caused a foul by the Knicks.

Taking advantage of the chance of free throws, the Wizards replaced Haywood again, with just over 1 minute left, the Knicks could no longer foul players without the ball.

Larry Hughes made one of two free throws. During the counterattack, Li Hai also fouled the opponent.

His free throw percentage of more than 3% is not a joke. He resisted the pressure and made a free throw, and he was still [-] points behind.

The atmosphere of the stadium has been heated up, and Arenas was also disturbed for a layup, but Jamison made a tip-up, and the Knicks fell behind by 5 points.

Marbury used the pick-and-roll to bypass Arenas' defense, hit a three-pointer, and the point difference narrowed to 2 points.

Marbury is indeed a big heart, but such a shot, Li Hai, as a teammate, is also sweating.

At the last moment, the defenses of both sides were extremely tight. Without relying on the personal ability of the stars, it is difficult to have opportunities. Arenas also chose this way. The sea suddenly stood in the middle.

Arenas froze for a moment, and Marbury immediately slapped the ball down.

Li Hai quickly picked up the basketball, rushed to the opponent's basket at a speed of [-] meters, scored a dunk, and the score was tied.

"The time left is less than 20 seconds. Arenas controlled the time near the center line, 10 seconds, 9 seconds... Arenas moved and forced a shot against Marbury's defense."

"Score... He made a shot... Is it a three-pointer? Let's take a look at slow motion. It's a long-range two-pointer. This is an extremely critical goal."

"The Knicks sent the ball to Marbury, and Marbury made a breakthrough... Is he going to make a strong shot...Marbury actually passed the ball, and the ball reached Li Hai's hands outside the three-point line."

"Li Hai received the ball without any hesitation, made a three-point shot, and the ball... went in."

"Li Hai seemed to know that Marbury would definitely pass it to him. The shot was very smooth, a three-point lore... This may be a tactic designed by the Knicks. There is no doubt that the Knicks have made new changes."

At 107:106, Li Hai and Marbury clapped hands to celebrate. Li Hai didn't know why Marbury chose to pass the ball at the last moment, but he was always ready.
