The NBA's opening sling against Chris Paul

Chapter 118 Sorry to lose
This time Li Ming wandered around the free throw line, looking for opportunities to pick and roll with Guy.

He pulled the ball to the left, Anthony jumped at the right time, and when he was about to touch the ball, Li Ming deftly turned around and wiped it to the right, and at the same time switched to his right foot and took off to throw the ball into the air.

Seeing that Gay, who got rid of the defense, jumped high in the air, he completed the alley-oop under the cover of his teammates.

100 to 96, with 29 seconds left in the game.

The Knicks didn't call a timeout, and Anthony took the ball quickly in the second half, using Kidd and Felton's double screen to shoot a drifting three-pointer from the right 45 degrees.

100:99.

"He's in, he's in." The Knicks were boiling again at home. The key is that this attack took less than 7 seconds.

There are 22.6 seconds left in the game.

Coach Hollins used up the final timeout.

"Time is in our favor. The opponent will definitely adopt foul tactics. At this time, we only need to make no mistakes." Hollins kept writing and drawing with a tactical board.

"At this time, I think he must ensure that Mark and Zach are both inside. At this time, the rebound must be protected. If there is a problem with the free throw, then the rebound must be protected." Van Gundy said loudly.

At this time, the Knicks' bench also felt like they were on the verge of attacking the city. To be honest, neither the players nor the coaches expected the game to reach this level. After all, the Knicks' strength on paper is not weaker than the Grizzlies.

The resilience of the Grizzlies has indeed brought them a lot of trouble. Now that time is running out and the ball is in the hands of the opponent, the situation is not optimistic.

"Rashid made a pick-and-roll with Cameron on the line and then quickly pulled to the outside of the three-point line. You have to do everything possible to pull the opponent's Marc Gasol to the outside." This is a critical step.

D'Antoni obviously wanted to use the range of Roaring Tianzun to pull the opponent's gate out, so as to make room for Anthony to break through.

Rasheed Wallace kept nodding his head, the current tactic is very simple, delay the opponent's serve, and then try to steal in the fastest time, if it doesn't work, foul immediately, you must control your attack time within 15 seconds Inside.

In the next round, he even grabbed first, and if he couldn't grab it, he fouled Rao Ang and the opponent made a free throw.

Guy went to throw the ball to the sideline. Li Ming and Bayless came out from both sides at the same time. The ball was finally sent out when the five seconds were almost up. The whistle blew.

Three seconds passed and Bayless made a free throw with 19 seconds left to attack.

Taking advantage of the free throw gap, the Knicks replaced Tyson Chandler again.

"D'Antoni is still very sophisticated. He uses Stoudemire when attacking and Tyson Chandler when defending. He has a very careful calculation." Van Gundy has an indescribable feeling. He always feels that tonight's game will not stop. here.

However, he didn't say anything, he just said something very official: Let's see who wins tonight.

Bayless made the first free throw, and the second free throw... was gone. The rebound was caught in Chandler's arms.

101:99.

The Knicks quickly called a timeout.

Bayless may still be too nervous, so he still missed the second free throw, which may change the trend of tonight's game.

Because if this free throw goes in, the Grizzlies will be much calmer, at least they can guarantee that they are unbeaten in regular time.

If you don't make it, the Knicks will have plenty of options in 19 seconds. You can try a quick two-point opportunity, or you can calmly look for an open opportunity.

You can choose two points, or you can try an outside three-pointer. Even if you don’t score, you can continue to foul and let the Grizzlies make free throws. You still have a chance, because the Knicks still have a long timeout and a short timeout.

"Cameron, you look for opportunities on the left three-point line. If the opponent doesn't double-team, you go to the inside to finish them. If they double-team, you give the ball to Novak or the inside. Amare." D'Antoni took the backcourt combination of Novak and Kidd in this attack.

Felton sat off the court. He was on defense just now, and now Novak is used in offense. D'Antoni's on-the-spot scheduling is still very clear.

When the timeout expires, players from both sides enter the field.

Guy followed Anthony with a serious face.

Kidd served, Novak stepped forward to catch the ball, Anthony threw Gay's defense in and quickly pulled out to catch the ball and stood outside the three-point line.

Everyone pulled away. Hollins must have given him an instruction for the ball, that is, to test and let Anthony in, but not give him a three-pointer, so both Anthony and Novak were standing beside defensive players who couldn't leave.

Stoudemire reached out for the ball inside, Anthony looked up at the basket and quickly put the ball down. His left hand seemed to be infused with immortal energy, and he dexterously avoided Gay's pounce and came near the free throw line. Gay immediately turned around. .

Time passed by second by second, and the moment Guy turned around, Anthony hit the ball to Kidd behind him.

Li Ming hurriedly stepped forward to stick to Kidd, Kidd took advantage of the opportunity to make a shooting motion, and Guy was caught by Stoudemire's body.

Anthony ran beyond the three-point line on the other side, Kidd passed the ball along the way, Anthony glanced at the timer and shot decisively.

"Rudy made a mistake in his judgment and fell into the trap of the opponent. He mistakenly thought that Stoudemire under the basket would pull to the center line to pick and roll for Anthony. He was Anthony and did not choose to catch the ball at that time." Van Gundy said it out .

There were almost three seconds left when Anthony received the ball, so he took the shot very calmly, and even dribbled the ball to avoid Bayless who came up to defend.

The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air, and the light was on at the moment of the shot. 190000 people in the stadium held their breath at the same time, and everyone was waiting for the final result.

With a sound of "Swipe!", the Knicks still had the last laugh. Anthony scored 33 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists tonight.

Gay's efforts throughout the whole game still failed to stop his last steps, and he seemed a little disappointed.Randolph, Li Ming and others also stepped forward to comfort their friends immediately.In all fairness, he really tried his best tonight, and worked hard to clamp Anthony every matchup.

After scoring the goal, Anthony did not celebrate immediately, but stepped forward to hug his friend generously, comforting Guy. The camera on the scene could clearly see Guy's expression, and he was a little unbelievable.

Under such circumstances, the shot can still go in. With only 19 seconds left, his team can successfully take away the victory from Madison Square Garden.
