The Point Guard is Here

Whether it is the Houston Rockets or the New York Knicks, they no longer have a retreat.

There's only one winner tonight, and every team has a reason to win.

Both Rudy Tomjanovich and Jeff Van Gundy were beating on the tactical board to remind the players to be highly focused, and the players on both sides looked solemn.

Fan Xi took a short errand at this time, and he saw Jennifer walking past from behind, and her younger brother took her to the vacant seat from the player tunnel.

This once caused an uproar at the scene. This was the first time Jennifer appeared at the Madison Garden Arena since Fan Xie and Jennifer suspected of breaking up.

So, is Jack getting back together with Jennifer?

The host on TV said so.

This sentence made the Knicks fans in front of the TV feel quite emotional: How great would it be if Fan Xie could also return to the Knicks?

Knicks fans are not long-lasting people, but only in Fan Xie, they hope that it will last forever.

Jim Dolan frowned as he watched the picture on TV.

He has always disliked the fact that his players have too close contacts with those gorgeous female stars, such as Rodman, he hates it very much. Although part of his career is entertainment.

James Dolan also frowned slightly at this time.

This movement was not caught by his father.

Had the doctor been here, there would have been screams of utter surprise: this is a medical miracle.

beep!

The whistle sounded on the TV and the game continued.

The Rockets made the final five-man combination: Olajuwon, Charles Barkley, Drexler, Dell Curry, and Fan Xie.

Putting the best players in 5 positions on the court, not the fittest players.

The five players on the Knicks side are: Patrick Ewing, Robert Horry, Larry Johnson, Starks, Kenny Smith.

Whether it is personal strength, lineup integration, or tactical maturity, this lineup can be called the league's TOP.

Fan Xie came to the frontcourt with the ball, Jeff Van Gundy no longer pinched Fan Xie, he realized his flaws belatedly.

Kenny Smith led Vanhey all the way.

At this time, Smith corrected his attitude and no longer underestimated Fan Xie.

Van Heede sets a pick-and-roll with Charles Barkley, and he drives into the paint and passes to Barkley up high.

Barkley received the ball, took a look, it was not the best shot, and rushed into the paint with the ball. Under Larry Johnson's supplementary defense, he made a foul, and the two steel men collided ugly in the air.

Swish!

Swish!

Although Barkley made two free throws, this offense did not have enough technical and tactical content.

look back.

Larry Johnson and Patrick Ewing cooperated perfectly, coupled with the interspersed roaming of Horry and Starks, all of Houston's defenses were affected.

In the end, Johnson easily settled the fight with a low-post board-wiping jumper.

After the goal, Johnson deliberately stretched out his fist to the sky.

It was his 28th point of the night.

Afterwards, the Houston Rockets still didn't find a good way...Because Vanhey's attack lacked the ability to finish the goal. Although he was able to break through Kenny Smith's defense, his weak personal attack ability and the lack of damage to the restricted area made Nick Si is essentially indulgent with him.

As a result, the advantages of the Big Three were not highlighted, and even because the Big Three needed to play singles with the ball, Fan Xi's breakthrough became a burden instead.

It's like Linghu Chong's meridians, there are three true qi running in the first place, and the qi mechanism is very disordered. Fan Xi added this zhenqi, but he didn't fully integrate the other three zhenqi, only one of them...the essence didn't change.

Houston is still in superstar singles mode.

Fortunately, Olajuwon's touch is quite good tonight, and he has an advantage over Patrick Ewing in the paint.

But as Larry Johnson continued to pinch, his touch also decreased.

Then, Drexler found another touch and used a mid-range jumper to force the Rockets to continue.

With 3 minutes left in the game, Barkley stepped up.

He singled Robert Horry with his unhealed hip, and Horry couldn't handle it.

Another wave continued.

"Jack, I know that this game is very important to you."

During the penultimate timeout, Barkley patted Fan Xie on the shoulder and said.

Fan Xi was very moved, Barkley was really generous. Withstood the healed buttocks of the superior to clear the way for Fan Xi, isn't this an iron buddy?

"If you don't take Jennifer down tonight, you'll be blinding my ass." Buckley continued.

Um?

Barkley said: "My fart is going all out for you to get back together."

? ?

Fan Xi's eyebrows frowned into a question mark, not because he had a problem, but because he felt that Barkley had a problem.

The whistle came back.

Jeff Van Gundy replaced old Oakley Charles Oakley.

Oakley was born a giant, and he was extremely at odds with Barkley.

Barkley came on the court, and in the first round, he singled Oakley with his back, and Oakley directly pushed him out.

With this push, Barkley lost the ball.

It doesn't matter if you lose the ball.

Barkley covered his back, showing a secret painful expression.

Seeing him like this, Fan Xi felt distressed, and inexplicably felt a little... funny.

boom!

Larry Johnson completed a powerful split dunk in the frontcourt.

This attack is extremely important, changing the balance that was previously worked hard to maintain.

The entire Madison Garden arena erupted into monstrous waves of sound.

With 52 seconds left in the game, Larry Johnson scored his 40th point of the game with the counter-attack dunk and gave the Knicks a three-point lead.

Jeff Van Gundy pumped his fists in celebration on the sidelines.

Larry Johnson finally did what he most wanted to do. He threw his fist... three times in a row.

The fans at the scene were stunned for a while, but they still made some noises following this action, although it was not neat.

But Larry Johnson's purpose has been achieved.

He's going to replace Vanhee, he's going to take away Vanhee's signature celebration.

He's going to be king of Madison Gardens.

He wants to occupy everything Fan Xi once owned.

It is undoubtedly the most cost-effective to start with this symbolic action, and do it in front of Fan Xi.

Although this behavior is very unauthentic, even dirty.

Even Patrick Ewing and Charles Oakley looked at each other sideways, thinking that Larry Johnson was a robber.

It was to forcibly deprive Little Jack of his 'wealth' while he hadn't grown up yet.

But... so what.

The robber Larry Johnson was very calm. When he passed by Fan Xie, he even sprayed trash on Fan Xie: "See? I replaced you. I am more suitable to be the king of New York than you. What you once had, What you never had, will be mine."

"The strong have everything!"

Johnson makes a bicep show to Vanhey.

His move, on the one hand, wanted to show his toughness, and on the other hand, he wanted to anger Fan Xi.

If Fan Xi became reckless at this time, then... everything will be settled.

Ah!

Fan Xi sneered.

He looked up, turned around, and said to Larry Johnson, "Will you bet on me?"

"What bet?" Larry Johnson asked back.

It was exactly the reaction he wanted.

"Gamble your life!"

Fan Xi was decisive and resolute.

Larry Johnson didn't react a little.

Fan Xi did not tell him apart, he took the basketball from Dell Curry, and then said a few words to Dell Curry, explaining his running route.

Dell Curry obviously didn't understand, he didn't know why Fan Xi asked him to run in that direction.

However, Fan Xi's expression was firm, and he believed it inexplicably.

Fan Xi quickly arrived in the frontcourt, and he stopped outside the three-point line.

Then, he shook his head at Kenny Smith who came up, and locked his eyes on Larry Johnson.

He held out his finger to Larry Johnson and ticked off.

"Do you dare to bet on this game with me?"

Fan Xi's voice was breathtaking.

There was a lot of uproar at Madison Gardens. For Knicks fans, Van Heede's action has a history. And history has long proved that once Fan Xie stretches out his finger at a critical moment, no matter how strong the opponent is, they can win the final victory.

Only, this time, his target became Larry Johnson.

Although the Knicks fans believe that Larry Johnson is stronger and scored 40 points tonight, but...the mark of the past is too deep.

Jeff Van Gundy stood on the sidelines, although he was very upset with Fan Xie.

But at this time, he hoped that Larry Johnson would not be fooled, so he stretched out his hand and pressed it.

However, it didn't work anymore.

Larry Johnson was a gambler, he saw not the risk, but the reward.

If Fan Xie can be killed on the spot at the last moment, then he believes that the three punches he throws in the next round will definitely trigger a monstrous sound in Madison Garden.

At that time, he will inherit everything Vanhee left in New York City.

So, little Jack. How could I let go of this opportunity to beat you to death.

Larry Johnson walked up resolutely.

And opened up his posture and singled out Fan Xi.

Fan Xi didn't talk about martial arts with him.

Bandits who follow this kind of evil and heretics will naturally kill them as much as they can.

Taking advantage of his unsteady footing, Fan Xi galloped straight to his left.

Larry Johnson is a good defensive player. He quickly adjusts his direction and presses up with a strong body.

At that time, Fan Xi staggered and almost fell to the ground.

And Larry Johnson, taking advantage of Fan Xie's unsteady footsteps, went directly to steal it. He wanted to push Fan Xie down and steal the basketball at the same time.

This is robbery.

However, when he reached out to steal, he also exposed his defensive flaws.

Fan Xi also seemed to have predicted his behavior long ago.

Pull back with your right hand and dribble behind your back!

The basketball bypassed Johnson's steal in an instant, and Fan Xie followed closely behind, passing Larry Johnson aside... It was difficult for him to turn his head again, and Fan Xie quickly broke through.

There was a sigh.

Starks seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and he quickly made up for it.

However, just when he filled the seat.

Vanhee makes a pass.

This is something that no one expected.

What is even more unexpected is that his basketball did not pass to the Big Three, but went straight to the hidden right corner.

When everyone didn't know where it was, Dell Curry came out from the baseline and flashed from behind Olajuwon's broad back. He caught the basketball, jumped beyond the three-point line, and took off... Swoosh!

The basketball hits steadily.

There are 36 seconds left.

The Houston Rockets recovered the score.

Back to the same starting line.

beep!

Jeff Van Gundy was so frightened that he hurriedly called a timeout. Fan Xie's decision-making power at critical moments was amazing.

He had to calm down Larry Johnson.

And how could Larry Johnson calm down? He stared at Fan Xi with anger clearly written in his eyes.

He thought Fan Xi broke the agreement, shouldn't he do it himself?

Why pass the ball?

Larry Johnson didn't understand.

He thought it was singled out.

With this mind, Fan Xi didn't want to talk to him more.

He goes to the bench.

At this time, the Rockets still have 1 timeout. The Houston Rockets have the habit of barking timeouts because of Jeff Van Gundy, and this is their last chance to timeout.

Therefore, the Rockets currently have an advantage.

Fan Xie's assist reversed the situation of the game.

The commentators on TV couldn't help but admire Vanhee's decision-making ability.

Dell Curry put his arms around Fan Xi's neck, he was very excited, but also very puzzled: Jack, how did you guess all this?

Fan Xi said: Actually, you are the second plan. If Charles Oakley had come to help, I would have passed the basketball to Barkley.

Dell Curry was tumbling inside, unable to calm down for a long time.

He finally realized how terrifying Jack's brain was, it was like a supercomputer.

Only Curry knew about this attack in advance, and he thought it was a ridiculous order at the time.

But it turned out that he successfully completed the three-pointer.

But now Fan Xi told him that he was only the second plan.

What does this mean?

"Jack, why don't you be godfather to my two sons. They need a wise godfather to guide them as they grow up. I can't thank you enough and they'll be in Houston next week."

Dell Curry said excitedly.

Before Fan Xi had time to respond, he was called over by Rudy Tomjanovich.

Rudy is very satisfied with Fan Xi's "good idea" this time, he knows Fan Xi's intelligence and wisdom.

Just this "improvement" is enough for Kenny Smith to learn for ten lifetimes.

Then, Fan Xie made a suggestion to him that made him feel unbelievable.

"Rudy, if Houston makes a shot next possession, can you not call a timeout?"

Fanhee said to Tomjanovich.

This is a very difficult suggestion for the head coach.

Because the arrangement at the last moment is directly related to the reputation of the head coach.

Rudy is also a little afraid to gamble.

He asked Fan Xi: Why?

Fan Xi replied: Gambling. Bet on Larry Johnson to stay on top and the timeout will cool him down.

Fan Xi's answer is very metaphysical.

But it was this kind of metaphysics, this kind of rhetoric that played tricks on people's hearts, which moved Rudy.

Tomjanovich thought for a while, and he said: That's fine, the last moment of this game will be handed over to you.

"But, are you sure that Larry Johnson won't challenge you to a single?"

Fan Xi replied: "Of course, I am ready to fight him one-on-one."
