The rest is just noise
Chapter 1116 Dynasty Bells
Playing the seventh game on the road did not affect the Knicks from turning Miami into Ashura Hell. As soon as the game started, Manning was knocked out two teeth by Ewing's elbow.
Manning had to leave the game. Although the audience wanted to rush into the court and cut the Knicks players into pieces, at that time, the only ill will they could convey to the visiting team players was boos and insults.
After Manning exited the game, Ewing and Kemp took the initiative inside.
At halftime, the Knicks led by 10 points.
In the second half, Manning returned with braces, and it was Sampson who started the Heat's counterattack.
His indiscriminate singles reminded Ewing of how they failed in the first game.
Ewing was not motivated. It didn't matter if he was beaten by Sampson, as long as his teammates could stand up and respond.
But the Heat don't plan to rely on Sampson alone to chase points.
Drexler found his accustomed rhythm, launching quick counterattacks like a high-speed sports car.
Miller's offensive line was overshadowed by Reggie Lewis, and his shots began to miss.
Stockton also began to become invisible under high pressure.
The young Hill rarely had a bright spot. He used a shot and a back-up to help the Knicks survive two rounds.
But this was far from enough, and the Heat was in full bloom.
Sampson is brave on the offensive end and a tower of strength on the defensive end.
Manning is a huge threat as long as he has the ball.
Dumars, Rose, Lewis, Petrovic...the Heat worked hard, and at the end of the third quarter, they led the Knicks by a full 19 points.
The bell of the Knicks dynasty rang at this moment.
Ewing will never give up.
Kemp's mentality has exploded. He was completely beaten by Manning. He committed two fouls in the fourth quarter and was full of fouls.
Miller, who terrified Miamians, was finally stopped.
Hill can't take over games at this intensity.
Tomjanovich looked back at the bench. Like everyone else, he missed someone.
Then he saw the fighting spirit on Mohammed Rauf's face.
Tomjanovich doesn't like him, but now they need a player who can create miracles.
Eight minutes before the end, the Knicks trailed by 21 points.
Tomjanovich requested a timeout.
During this timeout, Tomjanovich replaced four other players except Ewing, replacing him with Rauf, Stevens, Christie, and Houston.
During the entire timeout, Tomjanovich did not lay out any tactics. He just looked at Muhammad and said, "CJ, I am still used to calling you CJ. Regardless of whether you agree or not, I will call you that today."
"Forget about the score and time, we are at the end of the rope. From now on, we have to risk our lives every second!" Tomjanovich deliberately said that his predecessor had told Rauf, who was still called Chris Jackson at the time.
As I said, "Let life return here, return to us!"
Rauf clenched his fists.
The Knicks' counterattack also began.
Rauf dribbled to the frontcourt and first threw a pull-up three-pointer over Petrovic's head that was not aimed at all.
"Whoosh!"
"We can't let him take action so casually!"
1992 was Donovan's last year as an assistant coach with the Knicks, and he saw Rauf's strength on the sidelines.
However, his team members did not.
Rodman, the only one who knew how capable Rauf was, had already committed six fouls and left the game.
Ewing clearly knew that Rauf was their hope for a comeback. Two-pointers alone were not enough to reverse the situation, only three-pointers would do.
So when he returned to defense, he shouted into Rauf's ear: "You can shoot boldly and leave the rest to us!"
From that round on, the Heat never grabbed a defensive rebound.
Ewing has delivered on dpoy's value at every level, and his defense is full of presence.
At this point, Sampson was too tired to attack. In addition to guarding him, Ewing also had to protect the basket, block positions, sweep, and grab rebounds.
Of course one cannot be perfect, but Ewing has done everything he can to perfection.
"Anyone who doubts Patrick Ewing's selection to the first team should take a good look at how he plays!" Danny Ainge, the commentator, sincerely praised.
After that, there was Raouf’s shocking shooting performance.
The Heat only missed one shot, and Ewing grabbed the rebound and passed it to him.
He moved to the frontcourt, stopped two meters away from the three-point line and threw it away.
The Heat were more vigilant, but he found the rhythm and forced a shot after continuous changes.
At that time, the person guarding him was Reggie Lewis.
Lewis's defense was already perfect, but when he turned around, he saw the three-pointer that looked like a random throw.
Rauf's shots are getting more and more outrageous, and his shot placement is becoming more and more unpredictable.
The only thing the Heat are sure of is that he has not made a three-pointer from a regular distance since he came on the court.
If the Heat double-team him too hard, Rauf will also pass the ball.
Stevens shoots over 40% from three-point range in the corner, Houston is an above-average shooter, and Williams is a trustworthy ballhandler.
None of these people were Rauf's friends on a daily basis, and everyone stayed away from Rauf because of his radical personal beliefs.
But now, they are willing to die for Rauf, just like Ewing is willing to give everything to Rauf.
This is the most unique charm of the Knicks and the reason why they are so difficult to defeat.
The Heat, which led by as many as 21 points in the fourth quarter, were tied by Rauf's long three-pointer in the last half minute.
Both sides have exhausted all timeouts, and the rest can only be left to the players.
Sampson, who played 41 minutes, has reached his limit, but now, the team still needs him to step up.
So he leaned against Ewing and raised his hand for the ball.
When a teammate passed the ball, Sampson directly jammed Ewing's body, hit the ball with a light hook.
Rauf received the ball in the frontcourt, and two Heat players double-teamed him.
He passed the ball to Stevens in the corner.
Lewis' rotation is in place.
Stevens scored again for Houston, and Manning's defense also arrived.
Miami's talent is even better. In the final moments, they used unique defense to allow Rauf to pass the ball, successfully filled the gap through elite rotations, and then forced the Knicks to force a shot at the buzzer with no assurance.
.
"boom!"
Ewing pushed away Sampson and jumped up to grab the offensive rebound.
As long as Ewing completes the second attack, the game can be dragged into overtime.
No time!
Ewing jumped up, but was shocked to see that Sampson, who had been pushed away by him, had come up again and blocked him with his height of 221 centimeters and wingspan of 233 centimeters.
