The Point Guard is Here

During this period of time, Fan Xi and Jennifer's breakup made many CP fans heartbroken. Every CP fan hopes for a happy ending.

So, when this rough but emotional black man saw Jennifer appearing outside the Madison Garden Arena, he was still pacing back and forth there.

He immediately predicted with a clever brain: this CP relationship has a chance to rekindle, and Jennifer needs someone to help her inspire courage.

So, he made a decision against the manager.

Take Jennifer down the inner passage to find Jack.

Generally speaking, if Vanheede is still a Knicks player, he will have no problem doing this at all.

But now Vanhee is not.

This is a bit risky.

How about saying that CP fans are invincible.

…

The whistle for the second half sounded soon, and many spectators who were smoking, strolling, and buying snacks outside hadn't entered yet. However, the audience in the field has discovered that the visiting team's bench lacks a player they care about most, Jack Jr.

Not on the field either.

Are you injured?

The fans care a lot.

Or...some other reason.

Jeff Van Gundy saw this a long time ago. Before the players went on the field, he smiled indifferently and said sarcastically: It's an old script. It must be to make a big news, to create a false impression of the return of the king.

He thought he had seen through Fan Xi.

Starks next to him said: But his last 'script' brought us the championship.

This sentence made Jeff Van Gundy's face sink.

Then, he turned around and assigned tasks to Larry Johnson and Kenny Smith: beat them to death.

For Jeff Van Gundy, it's all about getting rid of evil.

...

Houston is not a lamb to be slaughtered in the absence of Fan Xie. The double inside combination of Olajuwon and Charles Barkley is still very powerful. The newcomer Dell Curry can make up for Robert Horry's firepower on the outside to a certain extent. There is also Kendall Gill, the athletic forward who is also like a catfish constantly stirring up the situation on the court.

The only problem with the Rockets... is that they haven't found the chemistry.

It's been there since the beginning of the season, and it hasn't really taken shape with Vanhey's arrival.

Sitting in the locker room, Fan Xi could see clearly.

The Rockets are still playing superstar basketball.

There is no problem with superstar basketball, but superstars will age... Houston's superstars are slowly aging.

Moreover, the failure of last season proved that the road of superstar basketball will not work. What's more, the competitors have become stronger this season.

The Rockets gradually fell into a passive position.

The New York Knicks adopted a strategy of clearing the field. The singles efficiency of Olajuwon and Charles Barkley gradually declined, and New York showed its ferocious fangs under the leadership of Larry Johnson and Patrick Ewing.

The slight point difference was smoothed out, and the Knicks expanded their points at a slow and steady pace.

Not too fast, but the kind that makes people feel desperate.

It has to be said that after the transaction, the New York Knicks' overall strength is stronger than before.

As a die-hard Bulls fan, the host on TV sweated coldly for Chicago, and publicly worried on TV whether Jordan could break through the steel gate of the Knicks.

Fan Xi stood up in the locker room, and he said to the staff of the medical team: It's ok.

He put on the No. 30 player on his body, and it was still a bit cold in New York in April, so he put on his coat again and went outside.

...

The black security guard named Douglas took Jennifer smoothly into the inner passage, and he kept saying along the way: Jennifer, Jack is a good man. You should stay with him and you should bring him back to New York, which is what we all look forward to.

Jennifer didn't say a word the whole way.

She was thinking about how to start with Fan Xi.

Just when she was about to walk to the player tunnel, she suddenly saw a familiar figure in front of her eyes. Fan Xi was walking towards the court... The lights of the court shone in from outside, and Fan Xi's back was elongated to a great extent. It seems that you have to face thousands of horses and horses single-handedly.

It happened that at this time, there was a uniform home shout from the audience outside the court: Defend! Defense! Defense!

Jennifer was taken aback by this scene.

She could no longer care about other emotions such as reserve, pride... and so on, she shouted: Jack!

When Fan Xi heard the sound, he turned around.

Jennifer stood there, looking from one side of the player tunnel to the other, like a time tunnel.

Fan Xi's tense nerves showed a little relaxation, and a comfortable smile appeared on his face.

Then he patted himself on the chest at Jennifer, meaning... I'll come back victorious.

Seeing Fan Xi's firm back on the court, Jennifer had an inexplicable feeling: Why am I like a wife waiting for her husband to return from a battle?

Fan Xi's determination made her feel a long-lost feeling of a man, which is one of the reasons why she couldn't extricate herself from the deep-rooted love for Fan Xi.

She even had an absurd illusion that Van Seee walked from the shadow of the player tunnel to a vast brightly lit court, as if Van Seee had pressed her under him for the first time.

He has a domineering aura that wants to fill the entire space.

man!

A smile appeared on the corner of Jennifer's mouth.

...

When Fan Xie's figure appeared on the court, there was a brief cheer in the Madison Garden Arena.

It didn't take long for fans to realize that Van Heede was no longer a Knicks player.

This kind of heartfelt and even conditioned reflex cheering was forcibly suppressed by them with reason, forming a strange silence.

Things are people, not everything.

Jeff Van Gundy was attracted by the movement in the arena, and he looked at it disapprovingly: cut, it's still the old script.

The Knicks are currently leading by 7 points, and he doesn't think Van Heede can change anything.

This is because the Knicks have completely contained the Rockets from the tactical level.

This is an irreversible, desperate chasm for Houston.

"I have a bold idea."

Vanhey communicated with Rudy Tomjanovich on the bench.

Rudy is different from Pat Riley and Don Nelson. He does not go to extremes, but he is very open-minded. He made a listening statement.

"Now the Knicks' defense focuses on me. I think we can run and shoot, use me to attract the defense, create space, and let the three-point shooters shoot wildly. At the same time, it also gives the main players some rest time..."

While talking, Fan Xi took the tactical board from Rudy Tomjanovich, and he was carefully arranging it.

Rudy asked the players to come over, and then he agreed to the matter.

Although it's an adventure.

But as long as the risk-taking payoff is high enough, it's worth a try.

Rudy agrees with the concept of "a cat that can catch mice is a good cat", although he thinks this tactic will put Fanhee into a certain risk.

However, since Fan Xi dared to risk himself, he preferred to go to Tiger Mountain.

So, as the head coach, why do you have to pretend to be kind?

Rudy is the head coach of a sage on the outside and a king on the inside.

He has been a willing player since his player days.

In this regard, he especially admired Fan Xi, and believed that Fan Xi would become a master.

His state of mind has never been swayed by the public opinion of the media, and he feels that he has made the right choice from the beginning to the end.

beep!

Rudy asked for a timeout. According to Van Hee's idea, he replaced with a new lineup, and Olajuwon and Drexler were replaced by him.

Replaced by center Pierre Carter, power forward Charles Barkley, small forward Mario Elli, Dell Curry and Fan Xie.

This lineup is pretty crazy.

Everyone can shoot 3s except for Van Heede.

What's even crazier is that the tallest Piercart is only 208 centimeters.

"I'll leave it to you next time."

Fansee said to Barkley.

Barkley is the man who won the rebounding title, and his height has always been a mystery.

But every center who talks about his size is a disgrace to themselves.

"No problem, take it easy, Jack." Barkley said with an easy face.

The whistle sounded.

The game continues.

This lineup really made Jeff Van Gandi sneer. He didn't like to be out of the rebellion. In his heart, the basketball should be Ding Ding to the side. He must be meticulous.

Jeff Van Gundy is a hard worker. He devoted all his enthusiasm to basketball. Since he was an assistant coach, he will work day and night, study opponents, and set tactics. His crumpled suit is full of tactics. strip.

This is the confidence he has every time he stands on the court. He is confident that in today's league, no head coach is prepared by him.

Jeff Van Gundy continued to wink at Charlie Ward and Larry Johnson after the game started.

Charlie Ward deserves to be the most obedient point guard who can best implement the head coach's tactical intentions. He immediately suppressed him and blocked Fanhee's pace with his body.

However, Fanhee's physical fitness has surpassed that of Charlie Ward, who is mediocre, although Charlie Ward has found another way to exercise a lot this year.

But... Phew.

Fan Xie's abnormal agility allowed him to easily break through the defense near the center line.

Then Larry Johnson rushed up, trying to strangle Fan Xi at the three-point line, and joined Charlie Ward in a pinch.

However, his brain couldn't figure it out, Fan Xi was just acting as a bait now.

When he took a step to defend, he was already at a disadvantage.

Fan Xi's basketball passed to the bottom corner extremely quickly.

Mario Elli catches the ball and he makes a quick shot... Swoosh!

3-pointer hit.

The point difference was reduced to 4 points.

It took less than 6 seconds to serve from the backcourt to hit the frontcourt.

Fanhee refreshed the new speed in the rocket.

And, the really crazy thing is.

When Van Heeed came rushing with the ball, the other four Rockets players all retreated outside the three-point line.

What does this mean?

crazy!

Jeff Van Gundy thinks the Rockets are completely insane.

In Jeff Van Gundy's view, this style of abandoning the penalty area is not stingy, and only those who control the penalty area can control the whole game! !

So, back to halftime. He immediately arranged for the army to press on.

However, Kendall blocked Larry Johnson's storm and the basketball passed to Patrick Ewing.

Ewing singles Barkley.

Barkley held off Ewing.

In the past, if Anthony Mason was still there, the basketball could be passed back to the free throw line, or directly hoisted to the other end of the penalty area for a strong attack.

However, the current Knicks lack the turning point of Anthony Mason, and even less the engine of Fan Xie.

Robert Horry was placed outside the three-point line, and Piercarter was guarding the defense.

Brother Gorilla made a decisive move while hesitating... bang!

Basketball hit the iron, Fan Xi rushed into the penalty area and took off the rebound.

The Rockets all ran wildly.

As soon as Fan Xie crossed the center line, Charlie Ward hit him head-on.

But at the same time that the two were in physical contact, Fan Xie had already passed the basketball quickly, Dell Curry received the basketball at the three-point line, and there was an open space, he took off and shot... Shua!

Curry hit a three-pointer.

The point difference was reduced to 1 point.

Jeff Van Gundy frowned. He took out the tactical strip in his pocket and looked for countermeasures.

Soon, he asked the players to play No. 2 tactics.

Larry Johnson carried the basketball into the penalty area abruptly and successfully won Piercart's defensive foul.

This is the drawback of the Knicks adopting this crazy three-point system. Their internal defense is too weak.

Once the hit rate can't keep up, it is easy to be worn to death by a strong offensive team.

The most important thing is that this is not the 21st century. The head coach here is not easy to blow the whistle. Even if Fan Xie was knocked out of the field by Charlie Ward last round... Even Spike Lee who was sitting next to him hurried away with a coffee cup... Scared jumped.

Fortunately, the Rockets feel very good tonight.

This is also due to Jeff Van Gundy's tireless arrangement of the two players to "take care of Van Heede".

Although Fan Xi received a strong body collision, many fans in front of the TV shed tears, and Jennifer, who was standing at the entrance of the players' tunnel, covered her nose with her hands and burst into tears.

However, at the end of the third quarter. Houston led by 3 points.

Great success was achieved strategically.

Back on the bench, Fan Xi communicated with Tomjanovich...the two thought at the same time...then they couldn't continue running and bombing.

Because Jeff Van Gundy is not an idiot, he realized that his "private emotions" affected the operation of the game. He replaced Kenny Smith in the last two rounds, and no longer carried out fearless pincers and collisions against Van Heede.

This makes the Rockets' fast break difficult and more vulnerable on the defensive end.

Fortunately, it feels good and has completed the leading indicators.

The next fourth quarter will inevitably enter a head-to-head scene. This is the Knicks' home court, and this is an area where the Knicks are good at.

Tomjanovich frowned, how much he hoped that the problem of connecting the Big Three would be resolved.

Only in this way can we really compete with the Knicks today.

When he was frowning and thinking, he looked at Fan Xi who stumbled and fell and kept getting up in this game, Fan Xi still suggested.

So, he was a little curious, and asked Fan Xi: Do you have any good ideas next?

Fan Xi told him: When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!

…

Jeff Van Gundy drew the route of the general attack on the tactical board. He told the players: "Tonight's victory is more important than ever. For us, defeating the Rockets is not only a step closer to the regular season champion Bulls, but also means our future. newborn!"

"Only by saying goodbye to the past can we move towards new glory."

"The road to consecutive championships starts tonight!!"

Jeff Van Gundy said loudly.

This statement resonated strongly with Larry Johnson and others.

In this game, they have so much to defend and grab!
