The Point Guard is Here

One hundred and ninety-three: O'Neal's little temper

"That little guy has become stronger again."

Wilt Chamberlain made his point clearly on television.

At the same time, Jordan on the sidelines is saying this to David Falk, only his wording is that little bastard.

The judgments of the two generations of basketball gods are surprisingly consistent.

The difference is that the audience in front of the TV feels joy, while Michael Jordan's "audience" David Falk feels sad.

In fact, the saddest thing is to own it once. David Falk once owned Vanhee. He was Vanhee's first manager. future. But now, Fan Xi and his most despised assistant, Sam Bowie, came together. Sam Bowie, a guy with obviously flawed IQ, has repeatedly made big moves.

The sad thing about Farke is that he even lost the trust of Georgetown because of this, and all the superstars produced in Georgetown signed with him. This year, when he tentatively asked whether Iverson would participate in the 1995 draft, the answer he got was: I will not sign with you.

Iverson was very direct.

Iverson intends to reach a contract with Fan Xi's agent Sam Bowie, he thinks Sam Bowie is a very capable person.

However, Fan Xi suggested that he seek another agent with strong influence.

After all, Fan Xie still has some understanding of Sam Bowie's true strength. He is a person who is airsick when flying, so don't expect him to sit on the train all over the United States to negotiate deals for Iverson.

Moreover, his trick of 'extreme pressure' was only tolerated by Fan Xi.

Fan Xi had cheats on him.

Orlando gradually returned to normal, O'Neal was overwhelmed in the paint, and Hardaway's offensive firepower was also released.

However, the absence of Nick Anderson and Brian Shaw still affected their overall offense.

On the other hand, in New York, the dual point guards of Vanhey and Derek Harper are extremely smooth.

Pat Riley didn't expect the chemical reaction to be so wonderful. New York's operation was like a seamless machine. Apart from the impact of Starks' absence on the defensive end, the offensive end actually produced better results.

Starks muttered to himself,

Leading is not embarrassing, whoever is not present will be embarrassed.

The first quarter was over quickly.

The Knicks led by 4 points with 32:28.

After the start of the second quarter, the Knicks replaced Hubert, and Van Heede stayed off the court to rest.

This is a very risky move for the Knicks, but they have to do it, because Fan Xie's physical energy is precious, and if it is used up in the first half, it will be overdrawn in the second half.

Fortunately, the Knicks are very lucky tonight.

Hubert immediately contributed from beyond the three-point line, and as a three-point shooter, he showed signs of prowess tonight.

Swish!

Swish!

Swish!

In the second quarter, he scored 3 three-pointers.

And these three three-pointers also allowed the Knicks to withstand Orlando's onslaught in the second quarter. At halftime, they entered the locker room only 1 point behind 56:57.

It is worth mentioning that Fan Xi did not play at all in the second quarter.

In tight situations, Pat Riley withstood the pressure. Credit goes to Derek Harper and Hubert.

But back in the locker room, Derek Harper, who was entangled with Hardaway, was out of breath after playing the whole first half. He must not be able to play in the third quarter.

In Pat Riley's tactical arrangement, Vanhee and Hubert will play together in the third quarter.

"...the third quarter is very important to us. The last three games Orlando has played in the third quarter."

"John is not here, we need you to play your due offensive firepower and destructive ability on the outside, so as to share the pressure on the teammates in the paint zone."

Pat Riley had high hopes for Vanheede and Hubert in the locker room.

Then comes the toughest battle.

If the third quarter is not defended, the efforts of the first half will be in vain.

...

Active discussions were also taking place in the visiting locker room.

Brian Hill and the coaching staff reached an agreement that the Knicks should be defeated in the third quarter by taking advantage of the fact that the Knicks currently have no outside core.

"Derrick Harper has no energy left, Hubert only has three points, and Jack's offensive level is not good. We can safely deal with Patrick Ewing..."

Anfernee Hardaway talks in the middle of the locker room.

The Orlando Magic are currently behind with a total score of 1:2, but everyone's face is filled with the confidence and aura of leading 3:1.

Almost every Magic player thinks that tonight's game and Game 5 will fall into their pockets easily.

"But...Little Jack has to be guarded."

O'Neill put forward his thoughts: "Our outside line is actually very tight."

However, Hill feels that the big shark is a bit unfounded.

If Little Jack has the ability to attack independently, why did Pat Riley use Starks as the core of the outside line before?

beep!

The second half of the game started quickly.

Fan Xi deliberately came to the arena early before the start of the game, and he did some shooting drills. His shooting consistency has improved a lot when he's in the static, but the jump shot is still far from enough.

His current shooting ability is still only C grade.

Iverson, who was sitting on the sidelines watching the game, said to Fan Xie before the game started: "Jack, you often break through from the left in the second half. O'Neal just looks very strong, and his defense ability is very ordinary."

At the same time, Rodman, who was wearing a long skirt and a wig, also leaned over to give an idea.

Although Rodman is maverick, his style is exaggerated. But no one can deny his basketball IQ, he has been highly appreciated by Chuck Daly. In the eyes of Phil Jackson, his tactical understanding is even better than Jordan.

"If you're one-on-one against Grant's defense, you have to remember to pause a little bit. He's a good defender, but he likes to jump first." Rodman told him: "When his fouls increase, he will Consciousness. The closer he gets to the basket, the more his vision is obstructed, he has problems with his eyes."

Fan Xi deeply remembered these words.

Whether it's Iverson's judgment or Rodman's experience, these will bring powerful help to Fan Xie.

Fan Xi has always been a person with a very strong ability to learn and comprehend.

In the first round at the beginning of the second half, Fanhee made amazing moves.

When he came to the top of the arc with the ball, the Orlando Magic still used Anthony Powe to defend him.

At this time, Anthony Bowie was even a little timid. He was teased by Fan Xie many times in the first quarter, and he formed a bad psychological shadow.

Fortunately... Fanxie was faster this time.

Under his defense, use a quick and sensitive spin to pass his defense and join the straight line into the paint.

In the past, he would choose to pass or attack when he was still some distance from the basket.

But this time facing Grant's quick return to defense, he remembered Rodman's experience, quickly penetrated into the paint area, and took the lead in making an emergency stop to make a take-off action.

Sure enough, Grant, who was under the basket, jumped up like a frightened bird.

When he realized something was wrong in the air, he quickly stopped. Fan Xi took off and shot... Shua!

A beautiful layup in the restricted area, playing with the time difference just right.

This goal put Madison Garden into the state, and the fans on the scene woke up from the halftime break and cheered for the home team loudly.

Afterwards, Hardaway broke into the penalty area and ended the battle with a throw.

Hubert was nowhere near his defense.

This is the current unavoidable dilemma for the Knicks.

Looking back, the Orlando Magic are still strengthening the blockade of the inside line. They block the passing path from the outside line to the inside line, forcing the Knicks to solve the problem only from the outside line.

This made Pat Riley frown.

Especially when Hubert is under the strict supervision of Hardaway, the Knicks only have one way left, let Fan Xie play singles.

Fan Xi was very decisive.

He crossed Anthony Bowie's defense again... Bowie seemed to be an opponent tailor-made for him by the sky. He would never be able to defend him, and he was worried about being teased by him.

Fan Xie cut into the penalty area from the left this time. O'Neill glanced at Fan Xie, hesitating between defending Ewing or supplementing the defense.

In the moment of his hesitation, Fan Xi's extremely sensitive body slipped away from his side smoothly, and put the basketball into the hoop with his backhand.

Scored two goals in a row.

Fan Xi resisted the pressure.

If it were another head coach, adjustments would definitely be made.

But the head coach of the Magic is Brian Hill, a man who often takes Wang apart.

He hasn't changed anything.

Jordan said a word at this time: "I'm worried about being famous for that little bastard tonight. And I'm sitting here."

Michael didn't want to see Fan Xiyao showing off his power.

He even began to regret coming to Madison Garden tonight.

David Falk frowned, and he said: It's not that easy, Orlando is not paper.

Orlando really isn't paper.

However, their strategy and tactics gave Fan Xike an opportunity.

Fan Xie, who has greatly improved his coordination ability, has made rapid progress in breakthrough level. Coupled with the absence of Nick Anderson and Brian Shaw, two important outsiders of the Magic, Fan Xie can get anything he wants in front of Anthony Powe.

Naturally, the more you fight, the more confident you become.

When Vanhey entered the paint for the third time and scored a goal, Pat Riley's heart hanging in the air was slightly relieved.

Then, it was the fourth time, the fifth time, the sixth time...Vanhee scored higher and higher, and also caused Grant's foul and O'Neal's foul.

More than halfway through the third quarter, the Knicks actually led by 3 points.

At this time, Brian Hill finally began to reflect on his tactics.

He used Anfernee Hardaway to defend Van Dohee.

Hardaway's defensive ability is a level higher than Anthony Powe, and his physical talents are above Vanhey.

Therefore, it became more difficult for Fan Xi to break through the first level.

However, this did not affect Fan Xi's performance.

Fan Xi called out Anthony Mason. He frequently used pick-and-rolls. Once Orlando switched defenses, he passed the ball.

Anthony Mason's high jumper became more and more accurate, and Hubert kept escaping from Anthony Bowie's hands and hitting open three-pointers.

The disadvantages of the absence of Orlando's two outsiders were infinitely magnified, and Fan Xi caught Anthony Bowie and kept pulling wool.

On the other hand, the Knicks, although lacking Starks. But his influence was infinitely filled by Fan Xie, and Fan Xie acted like a full-fledged leader tonight.

He scored 16 points and 5 assists in the third quarter.

89:83.

The Knicks led by 6 points into the fourth quarter.

This is beyond everyone's expectations.

Fan Xi not only held on to the third quarter, but also formed a strong counterattack.

In the next fourth quarter, as long as the Knicks play steadily, they can win the third game of the series.

In this way, all the initiative in the series returned to the hands of New York.

The hopes of the fans at Madison Gardens were all ignited, which was a surprise brought by Fan Xie.

The New York fans in front of the TV simply loved Fanhee to death.

"I think... Jr. Jack can already be the outside core of the Knicks." Wilt Chamberlain said on TV: "He is calmer than Starks and is better at fighting at critical moments."

This sentence simply entered the hearts of Knicks fans.

The New York Knicks have not been weak in recent years, and have always been among the top teams in the league, but they are always short of breath at critical moments.

Before, they didn't know where the difference was, but now Fan Xi's appearance made them understand that the difference was Little Jack.

Pat Riley hugged Vanhey tightly as he stepped off the court.

He didn't expect this kid to be so powerful, and he could always save him and the whole team at critical moments.

After the crazy impact of the third quarter, Fan Xi's physical fitness was a little tired.

Pat Riley kept Vanheede on the bench for the first four minutes of the fourth quarter.

He put Derek Harper back on the field, with a four-inside formation of Charles Smith, Anthony Mason, Charles Oakley, and Patrick Ewing.

This is mainly defensive.

But at this time, O'Neill started to go crazy.

In the previous three games, O'Neal would pass the ball after being flanked. But tonight he stopped doing that, he got the ball, and no matter what the Knicks threw at him, he went straight to the rim.

His natural supernatural power amazed Wilt Chamberlain, and his explosive power, jumping, agility, and speed even amazed Fan Xie who was sitting under the court.

It's no wonder a giant of this size with such prodigious physicality can dominate around the rim.

Fanhee entered the court after O'Neill overtook the score.

He and Derek Harper played double point guard.

After playing, he instigated Ewing to counter-kill O'Neal. He held the ball deep enough to attract O'Neal's help defense, and then passed the ball from behind to Ewing who followed up. Ewing vented his grievances with a one-handed dunk.

Then, O'Neill is still rampant.

The Knicks regained their firepower under the management of the double point guards.

The two sides came and went to the end of the game.

When there is 1 minute and 15 seconds left in the game.

The ugly rhythm is back again.

It started with the Knicks fouling O'Neal.

Then, the Magic started fouling Vanhey.

Both sides have a tacit understanding.

Van Heede and O'Neal embarked on the road to a free throw tie.

But this time, Fan Xi didn't panic at all.

O'Neill didn't panic either.

O'Neill even said: Whoever replaces me tonight, I will not play the next game.

The Sharks' mentality collapsed in the previous two games. He believed that the reason why the team was killed by Fan Xie twice was because he didn't play.
