The reason Isaiah Thomas walked into the locker room was very simple. He wanted the team to execute a positional battle in the second half. He even thought about the lineup and style of play for Doug, Quentin Richardson, Jeffries, Milicic, and Zach Randolph to play together.

He believes that this lineup is absolutely capable of head-to-head with Cleveland.

However, after he picked up the tactical board and made suggestions.

D'Antoni invited him out of the locker room, even though his mouth was full of flowers, he was talking about flowers, and he outlined the perfect blueprint.

But this still did not change the fact that he left the locker room.

D'Antoni reached an agreement with James Dolan when he joined the Knicks. He didn't want anyone to intervene in his tactical system. In order to achieve this, the Knicks even gave him the title of general manager.

His power in player management is even on par with President Downey Walsh.

But he did not expect that half of the season played, a vice president appeared out of thin air.

Moreover, the special job of this vice president is not team operations, but player management.

"Just as a drunk madman came in and talked nonsense." D'Antoni told the players calmly.

Then, he began to lay out the tactical arrangements for the second half.

D'Antoni is not an idiot. Of course he could see a few points that he played well in the first half. The staffing arrangements he made are exactly the same as Isaiah Thomas: Doug, Quentin Richardson, Jeffries, Zach Randolph, Millich.

But there is a huge difference in play. D'Antoni still asks Doug to improve his rhythm on the offensive end and must defeat the big center in Cleveland!

This is the only way D'Antoni thinks to win.

For D'Antoni's tactical thinking, Du Ge actually agrees.

In the absence of a strong point to attack with the ball from the outside, only a quick attack can improve the offensive efficiency. Only in this way can we win.

But Isaiah Thomas’s idea is not to win.

His idea is to build a system on the defensive end, and on the offensive end to adapt Doug to his shooting rhythm in positional battles.

He hopes that Dugge will become a comprehensive player, so letting him ‘indiscriminately shoot’ to increase his game experience is the most important thing at the moment.

Therefore, when Doug walked out of the locker room, Isaiah Thomas, who was waiting at the door, ran over immediately.

"Hey, Snoopy. What are you doing tonight? You actually only shot 3 times. Are you looking for efficiency? If you want to be a superstar dominating the game, you must accumulate enough shooting experience. You must be brave and only in this way can you make real progress."

Isaiah Thomas told Doug very seriously: "In the second half, you must make yourself selfish. Don't care about other people's thoughts, don't care about the booing bitch. When you hit the achievement, they will immediately Lie on your feet like an old dog, bragging and praising you."

Doug nodded.

He recognized Thomas's truth.

But tonight, he still wants to win.

He didn't want to see LeBron James's pretentious face, and he didn't want to see him telling himself with a high attitude: Even in New York, the king's rights are still greater than the duke's.

Beep!

After the start of the second half.

With Shaq O'Neal on the court, LeBron James, who was silent for the entire second quarter, began to show breakthroughs again.

The Sharks are the first in history to help the top perimeter. Kobe Bryant and Dwyane Wade, who have worked with him, have already won championship rings. LeBron James certainly wants to be the third.

Due to Duge being pulled to the outside, coupled with the cover of the shark's huge body, his breakthrough damage continued to increase.

With the recovery of the breakthrough effect, his shots are more lethal, and the help to the team's series is also improved.

Before learning to play back-up singles, LeBron James was still a breakthrough star...somewhat similar to the early Grant Hill and Tracy McGrady, although LeBron James's movements seem to be'heavier' than these two. less.

The Knicks still rely on the shots of Zach Randolph and Quentin Richardson. These two shots are good. Under Duger's needle, they made consecutive shots!

Offensive efficiency quickly surpassed the Cavaliers.

Therefore, despite LeBron James's 8 points and 4 assists in the third quarter.

But the Knicks still relied on the excellent performance of Randolph and Richardson to recover 4 points behind, and with the feel of the two players now, in the fourth quarter... the Cavaliers may even fall into the passive: because of their main force. Players have not played in rotation until now. And, as the hands of Zach Randolph and Quentin Richardson burst out, their main players did not dare to rest.

"This is a strategic error. McBrown obviously underestimated the Knicks. Although Zach Randolph and Quentin Richardson's shooting percentage tonight is outrageous, it is the defense that really held the score stalemate. Du Ge, Jeffries, Milichic, plus half of Zach Randolph, this defensive system has begun to take shape. Then with the deepening of the chemical reaction, they may even become a playoff team next season. "

McBryn said during a timeout.

This made Reggie Miller suddenly laughed: "Then...Pat Riley and Miami fans will definitely cry because of it. Because their draft picks will drop out of the lottery directly... It’s valuable."

To be honest, Reggie Miller was a little gloat.

He has been dissatisfied with Pat Riley's sale of his junior brother, and he thinks Pat Riley will regret it.

In fact, Pat Riley already felt a headache. He thought that after sending Snoopy away, Michael Beasley would form the best gear with Dwyane Wade. But the reality is that Beasley is completely incompatible with Wade. With Wade's comeback, Beasley has returned to the sixth man position. This position seemed to exacerbate his loss. He started to be even more indifferent to training. He was lazy and didn't look like a professional player.

This makes Miami's trainers can't stop complaining: why not trade this guy away?

Similar voices continued to spread in Miami. After Snoopy left, the players realized how valuable it is to have a teammate who can block, screen, support, and pass the ball for themselves. Because now... they have to revolve around Dwyane Wade, Michael Beasley, screens, support, passing and off the ball.

At the same time, the fourth quarter started soon.

The feel of Zach Randolph and Quentin Richardson did not cool down, despite the fact that Cleveland changed into the main lineup. But the lineup of Doug plus Randolph, David Lee, Quentin Richardson and Jeffries still makes them lose sight of the other.

When your opponent has two shooters with a shooting percentage of more than 60%, it is difficult for you to win!

Time passed by one minute and one second.

Isaiah Thomas on the sidelines is distraught, and Snoopy has only made three shots so far. He seems to have forgotten his instructions, he hopes that Du Ge can quickly enter the singles mode. After all, like the Cavaliers are a finals-level team, they must have more experience in their defensive system than other teams.

When the fourth quarter entered the 8th minute, the Knicks gained a 9-point lead.

At this time, the knight's shark was already sweating like raindrops.

Basically... if the Knicks hits another goal, the Cavaliers' morale will be completely disintegrated and they will accept this defeat.

In fact, McBrown does not intend to let the main players continue to consume it like this. The regular season is a long schedule. The outcome of a game has little effect, and if the main player is injured because of the outcome of a game, then it is the cruelest injury to the team.

But at this moment.

An accident happened.

Zach Randolph did not choose a high shot after completing a pick-and-roll with Doug and receiving a basketball in the high post, but twisted his pace and went to the penalty area. But in the process of breaking through, he stepped on the instep of Varejao who was defending. This made him fall directly to the ground, and then the ball was taken away by LeBron James, and he quickly rushed into the frontcourt, hitting an emergency stop jumper outside the three-point line!

The point difference returned to 6 points.

The Knicks leader was injured.

McBrown's eyes began to shine again!

The referee suspended the game after questioning Zachrandorf. The Knicks team doctor quickly went forward to check.

Although Randolph grinned in pain, the team doctor's judgment was not a major problem.

Generally speaking, if he asks to play. The team doctor would not advise him to rest.

However, Randolph took a look at his statistics, 27 points, 12 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal. perfect!

He returned to his seat, he did not intend to continue playing.

For him now, as long as the data meets the standard, it doesn't matter if he wins or not. He doesn't want to risk injury and fight with others!

D'Antoni turned and arranged for Milichic to replace Randolph.

At this time, Isaiah Thomas shouted from the sidelines: "Shoot! Snoopy! You can solve the game and believe in yourself!!!"

He screamed hard for Doug's encouragement.

Du Ge pursed his mouth, although because Selena improved her overall coordination for her "mouth love" in the studio, the jumper had some direction. But he still doesn't have much confidence in himself, and now the Knicks have come to life and death. He still hopes to be safer.

However, this effect has not been achieved.

Zach Randolph's end means that the Knicks' most lethal pick-and-roll tactics have lost their effect~lightnovelpub.net~Milisic doesn't have the feel of shooting from the free throw line. Although David Lee has shots, he only shoots, and the change in tactics is infinitely close to zero.

This makes the Cavaliers defensively targeted.

So even the work with the Knicks outside the three-point line was shut down!

boom!

boom!

David Lee and Quentin Richardson each missed a goal.

On the other side, LeBron James hit one of the two emergency stop jumper options, reducing the point difference to 4 points.

At this time, Dugge once again brought the ball to the frontcourt.

Isaiah Thomas was already anxious like an ant on a hot pot. He even stood within the dividing line of the court. He shouted vigorously: "Shooting! Snoopy!!!"
