NBA: This flower path is a bit strong

On the court, Doug Christie was still running tirelessly.

Sometimes he attacked quickly, sometimes he changed direction flexibly, making it hard for the opponent to defend.

Sweat soaked his jersey unconsciously, but it did not affect his speed and rhythm at all;

His physical energy was also depleted. According to Huadao's estimation, Doug Christie might not even last until the fourth quarter.

However, no one on the Raptors suggested that Doug Christie should rest.

Because the desire for victory in his eyes was not concealed at all:

Catch the ball, get rid of it, and shoot!

This is what Doug Christie did in the third quarter!

In the second 5 minutes of the third quarter, even though coach Lenny Wilkens paused from time to time.

Doug Christie still maintained 5 of 8 shots, including 4 three-pointers.

This means that in the 10 minutes of the third quarter, Doug Christie made 15 shots without hesitation and hit 8 three-pointers, breaking the record of 7 three-pointers hit by [Eagles King] Steve Smith in a single game!

At the same time, Doug Christie scored a total of 26 points, not only breaking Hanamichi's single-quarter scoring record in the Raptors, but also making the NBA league's highest single-quarter player scoring list, and ranked fourth!

(First: [Iceman] George Gervin, 33 points in a single quarter, 63 points in the whole game, single-quarter scoring champion!)

(Second: David Thompson, 32 points in a single quarter, 73 points in the whole game!)

(Third: Zhang Dashuai, 31 points in a single quarter, 100 points in the whole game!)

Hawks head coach Lenny Wilkens could no longer sit still and sent Steve Smith to defend Doug Christie.

But the latter said very comfortably: I'm going to retreat!

Doug Christie, who was exhausted, waved to his old coach Deng and asked to be replaced!

Then he went off the court with the highest score of 31 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 steals.

You get what you pay for. With an annual salary of 1.36 million US dollars and a job worth 6.31 million US dollars, what else can you ask for?

Besides, the Raptors' score, under the activeness of Doug Christie, was 87:81, which was 6 points ahead of the Hawks? What else do you want?

So Doug Christie had no psychological burden to go off the court.

His plus-minus value in the third quarter reached an astonishing +19, and he made 8 three-pointers in a single quarter, which was considered a famous battle in the playoffs!

"Don't tell me, there is a reason why Doug Christie has such a high three-point shooting rate!"

Comrade Zhang Heli began a wave of analysis, and the audience across the country listened attentively.

"For a shooter, the feel is one aspect, and the psychological quality is another aspect."

"Without sufficient psychological quality, he will hesitate when shooting, and hesitation will lead to defeat!"

Yeah!

The audience nodded, indicating that this was reasonable.

"As we all know, what role did Doug Christie play in the previous team?"

"Water dispenser manager!"

"Why did he change from a water dispenser role to a strong contender for the best sixth man and steals king after joining the Raptors, and later simply became the team's indispensable starting guard and defensive pioneer?"

"The head coach of the Raptors has a good eye for talent, and Hanamichi, as the team leader, can effectively guarantee rebounds, which is a big reason!"

Here it comes, the familiar rhythm of [blowing flowers] again!

Zhang Heli seemed to feel that such dry words were not convincing, so he took out the data.

"This season, the only regular season game in which Doug Christie scored more than 30 points was 34 points against the Supersonics. He made 6 three-pointers in that game."

"Similarly, in that game, Hua Dao grabbed 15 rebounds over [Rain Man] Kemp!"

"In the third quarter of this game, Doug Christie made 8 three-pointers, but I don't know if any careful audience noticed that Hua Dao also grabbed 8 rebounds, 5 of which were offensive rebounds!"

"As long as you dare to shoot, I will grab the rebound!"

"You are worthy of being the little bully under the rebound!"

Don't say it, Zhang Heli's words sound reasonable!

Especially in 1997, when domestic people generally felt that the moon in foreign countries was rounder than that in the flower-growing countries, and there was no contempt for the idea of ​​worshipping foreigners.

If you praise a flower-growing country player, as long as you don't exaggerate it, it is easy to establish national pride and confidence!

I have to say that this wave of analysis is very reasonable and there is nothing wrong with it!

In the fourth quarter, the competition is between players, especiallyIt is the hard power of the stars.

To be more specific, it is the Hawks' [Hawk King] + [Double Mu] trio and the Raptors' [Big Flower] combination, who is more stable.

Das, who basically rested for the entire third quarter, hit a shot and proved that he is not the kind of man who explodes with three-pointers.

Then he played the tactics honestly, organized the offense, and set the rhythm.

His tactical combination with the focused Big Ben and Hanamichi inside and outside made the Raptors' overall offense smoother.

And he also scored 2 layups.

In fact, from the G1 against the Hawks, it can be seen that the Raptors do not need to explode to win, as long as the players in the team can play their positional advantages, they can win in a conventional way.

The reason why the first half of this game was so difficult was mainly because of the explosion of [Hawk King] Steve Smith.

Once someone in the Raptors explodes, it will be even more difficult for the Hawks to win.

There are only 7 games in the second round of the playoffs, and a normal person can only play well in two or three games.

As for [Old Rogue] [Full-strength James] who scored 40+ points in a row, is that normal?

The Hawks lost to the Raptors 97:105.

They had a chance to win this game and tie the score to 1:1.

But their main players played well, and they didn't expect that the opponent also played well.

The Hawks' trio combined to score 68 points:

Steve Smith 27 points, 2 rebounds, 2 steals;

Mookie Blaylock 22 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists;

Dikembe Mutombo 19 points, 14 rebounds, 1 assist.

But it was still difficult to win.

The reason is naturally because the Raptors' trio played better:

Huamichi 26 points, 16 rebounds, 2 steals, 4 blocks, 3 assists;

Damon Stoudemire 19 points, 5 rebounds, 2 steals, 12 assists;

Doug Christie 31 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 steals.

Perhaps, the 8 points that the Hawks lost in the end were the 8 points lost by the trio.

Looking at the expressions of the Hawks who were obviously holding back their anger, Huamichi said:

Next, at the Omni Arena, he will personally make the Hawks give up the idea of ​​advancing!

On May 10, the Raptors defeated the Hawks 100:80 away, and Huamichi scored a big double-double of 32 points, 17 rebounds, and 5 blocks;

Following, on May 11, the Raptors once again defeated the Hawks 89:80, and Huamichi scored a double-double of 21 points, 14 rebounds, 7 assists, and 3 blocks.
