"Barkley, which team do you think will win this game?" Smith is clichéd again, and will ask this question every time he encounters a relatively stalemate game.

Barkley's previous answer was to support those teams with more stars.

For example, when the Lakers and the Bulls are facing each other, Barkley will definitely choose the Lakers when the game is stalemate; when the Heat are playing against the Spurs, he will generally choose to support the Spurs. Of course, unless some stars are clearly in the wrong state, he will support another team. Team.

"Do you still need to think about it? Throughout the first three quarters, the Knicks' offense was initiated from the inside. Lee put his energy on the defensive end. As long as Lee carried the banner of the team's offense in the last quarter, the Knicks must be the last." Winner." Barkley thought to himself, you think I'm stupid, now that the Knicks are leading and Anthony is obviously exhausted, the Nets must win in the end.

"Haha, do you want to bet something?" Smith looked at Barkley slyly.

Buckley trembled and waved his hands again and again. Being stared at by such eyes, Buckley couldn't help feeling awkward.

"Coward, let's see if you dare to bet with me next time."

"Li, how is it now?" D'Antoni couldn't help asking when he saw Li Tian greedily recovering his physical fitness.

"It's okay, coach, you arrange tactics, I'm listening."

After a brief exchange, the two teams returned to the court. Perhaps their physical fitness has been restored. The defensive strength of the two teams has returned to the state at the beginning of the game. Anthony, in particular, not only defended Li Tian, ​​but also assisted in the defense and interfered with a shot by the UAE. .

For 2 full minutes, the two teams did not score a single point, they hit the iron frequently, and their offenses were all difficult shots. Similarly, every defense was also done to the extreme, and there was no sign of lack of physical fitness.

Seeing that there is 1 minute left in the third quarter, the head coaches of the two teams have a tacit understanding and will replace the starters to get more rest time for the main players.

No one expected that at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the situation on the field changed suddenly. Originally, the Knicks led by 70 points at 72:2. Only 3 minutes into the fourth quarter, the Knicks' substitute players, no matter who made the shot, would have a hard time scoring. .

Seeing that the 2-point lead was eroded by the Nets' bench, Li Tian couldn't sit still. Ah Lian had missed three consecutive shots.

"Coach, replace me. We are only 4 points behind now. If you wait another minute, it will be difficult to catch up." Li Tian can only take the initiative to invite Ying. The substitute player is not in good condition today, so he must come on stage to take the lead effect.

"Okay, you go, but remember to try to play some pick-and-rolls. Yao must rest for another 4 minutes, otherwise he will not be able to support the last few minutes of the game." D'Antoni glanced at Yao Ming who was eager to try, and directly pressed him on the bench.

Now D'Antoni doesn't have the idea of ​​​​a dead grass main force. After all, it is only the regular season. Even in the playoffs, if he is not on the verge of despair, he will not be a dead grass main force.

"Okay!" Yao Ming was a little helpless.

The Knicks lineup at this time is Lowry, Li Tian, ​​George, Ah Lian, and Jordan Jr.

Teacher Tony was just a few minutes old and felt bad. D'Antoni felt that it would be a good choice for him to come down and take a rest.

Li Tian took over the banner of the team's offense, took advantage of the fact that the Nets hadn't changed, and directly accelerated past the defense and made a dunk!

A slam dunk greatly boosted the momentum of the team. The arena, which had been a little quiet, suddenly boiled up. They saw the team's hope of winning again, and the team leader appeared on the field in person.

At the end of the two rounds, the Nets also replaced Anthony and others. Although the Nets failed to score in this 1 minute, they still maintained the lead.

Li Tian planned to help his teammates find the touch during this period of time, and gave George a sudden point, and it ended with another strike.

With a score of 79:77, the Knicks are still 2 points behind. In the next 7 minutes, every attack is crucial. Once they fail to connect, the team will lose the game.

Li Tian had no choice but to take over the offensive banner, and at the same time handed over the task of defending Anthony to George.At this time, the bayonet was red, and D'Antoni didn't dare to replace McGrady boldly. Although he could try to trust his three-pointer, if he couldn't hit it, he would not only lose a chance to attack.

McGrady's appearance will also become a gap for Anthony's offensive breakthrough. Compared with George, his defense has a big gap.

Anthony didn't call for a pick-and-roll, and settled to the left half-block position, ready to play George with his back.

George defensively raised his left hand to stare at Anthony's back, and kept waving his right hand, forcing Anthony to shoot from the left and not giving him a chance to shoot from the right, in order to reduce Anthony's shooting rate.

"Bump!" With two back-to-back singles in a row, Anthony only pushed George's defense half a step toward the basket.

Reluctantly, he had no choice but to slam with all his strength and squeeze away George who was defending him. George relieved a little at the moment Anthony slammed with all his strength, which caught Anthony off guard and slammed into the air.

Anthony was also a little surprised, why he was only a second-year player, but he had such an old-fashioned defensive action. While being surprised, he tried his best to adjust his state to ensure the stability of his shots.

"Touch!" It was too late to adjust, Anthony shot out of the frame, and Jordan took off to grab the rebound.

Lowry dribbled the ball across half court and handed it to Li Tian.

Seeing that the Nets changed their strategy, the first two breakthroughs, and each time they broke into the free throw line, the Nets chose to double-team and surround Li Tian's breakthrough. folder.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, he accelerated his breakthrough to the basket in one step, attracted Lopez's defense, gave Jordan a lob, and made a dunk!

Li Tian is in trouble, finally someone can help him share it.

"Teaming, double-teaming!" Johnson kept gesticulating on the sidelines, indicating that only the outside line would be double-teamed, and the inside line would continue to guard the basket. He didn't believe that Li Tian could reach the basket with the ball every time.

If he persists for a few minutes, whether his physical fitness can persist, anyway, let Li Tian beat the Nets alone, if he has the ability.

Anthony saw what the coach meant, and immediately called his teammates and said a few words.

Deron used his own rhythm, dribbled the ball behind his back, passed Lowry's defense, broke through and gave the ball to Anthony.

At the moment Anthony received the ball, Li Tian's back defense came back to Anthony again. Although he was a little tired, he still completed the back defense in the first time.

Anthony could only turn around and come back, pouted his buttocks and prepared to hit Li Tian with his back. George's defense just now had made him almost ashamed, so he didn't dare to be careless again.

"Bump!" Anthony turned his back twice again, and Anthony wanted to cry. He pouted his butt a few times and didn't push the defense. He still miscalculated Li Tian's physical fitness at this time.

Only scoring the ball to the inside Lopez, let him attack under the basket, Lopez barely hit the hook!
Compared with Lopez, Jordan's strength still has some gaps.

It was a few more rounds, each time Li Tian was alone, carrying the explosive package to the basket, often facing two or three people double-teaming, the most one time, facing four people double-teaming, divided The ball was given to George who was open on the outside, and he hit the iron again with a three-pointer.

Li Tian was suffering. In this game, he finally realized the feeling of Kobe in those few seasons. It was not that he was not strong enough, but that his teammates were really too strong.

For 5 minutes, Li Tian scored a total of 12 points with his own breakthrough and free throws. He scored 6 goals to his teammates and only scored 2 points. George was fouled on a three-pointer and made 3 of 2 free throws. It can only be said that he feels iron to invincible.

In the last 3 minutes of the game, Yao Ming beat Lopez under the basket and hit a hook.

85:82 The Knicks are still 3 points behind their opponents.

"Barkley, do you still think the Knicks can win?" Smith smiled deeper.

"This..." Barkley was almost stuttering. Even he had never encountered such a tough game. They were all wide open, and he couldn't even hit the shot.

"Well, although I don't have that much confidence, I still think the Knicks have a high probability of winning." Barkley was still stubborn. He didn't make a bet anyway, so why give up halfway? It's so embarrassing.

Seeing that Barkley's mouth was stiff, Smith didn't kill them all, because it was unnecessary, and the two of them spent more time together every day than his wife, and it would not be beautiful if they got stiff.

Just when Li Tian wanted to go ahead and take the lead, Anthony hit consecutive three-pointers from the outside, completely extinguishing the Knicks' intention to take the lead.

Li Tian looked at the score, and the scene of Anthony hitting three three-pointers just now was played back on the field. He still felt a little uncomfortable. In the past, he was the one who beat the opponent like this, but now he was killed by the opponent in turn, and he felt very uncomfortable.

For him, if he can finally reverse this game, it will be one of his famous battles. If the reversal fails, it will be a regrettable defeat for him alone.

"Beep!" The final whistle sounded.

Standing on the court, watching the score 95:90 was somewhat disappointing, but he quickly returned to his normal state. This is not the first time he has experienced failure, but this time the defeat was a bit wronged.

Of course, he can say "if teammates." in the interview.

However, all of this is unnecessary, and apart from froze the relationship between teammates, it can't change any results.It's not that his teammates don't work hard, but that the basket really doesn't look like his own basket.

"Li, did you see that we defeated the Knicks, you are not invincible." Anthony was in a good mood, and finally he could win a game against Li Tian, ​​no matter what the process was, as long as he was the final winner.

"It's just a regular season. I hope we can meet each other in the Eastern Conference Finals. Come on, Sao Nian!" Patting Anthony on the shoulder, he walked back to the locker room from the player tunnel.

"Boss, I'm sorry, if I can hit two more three-pointers, we will win."

George was the first to come to confess. You must know that in this game, he made 7 of 1 three-pointers, and he smashed the basket.

"Look up, if you lose, you lose. We don't want to blame anyone. If you say so, I also miss shots. If I make shots, then I also win. Do I want to blame yourself.

Don't care about the lost games, let's just adjust, it's not March Madness, it's just the regular season.

But in the future, everyone should practice some more shots. Don’t say anything during the interview. I will bear all the responsibilities. "

Li Tian asked George to look up, don't be downcast, losing is not terrible, what is terrible is losing morale.
