When the ape is angry, he will summon Fan Xi. Fan Xi's pass is more comfortable than Derek Harper, soft and smooth, and has a high hit rate.

However, at this time, Starks broke out.

The entire basketball world knows that Starks will be terrible once he goes crazy.

When he hits the second three-pointer in a row.

Pat Riley cocked Erlang's legs, he suppressed the urge to change to Fan Xi.

Because once Starks runs rampant on the offensive end, he will be lax on the defensive end. At this time, the team needs Derek Harper, a top defender, to help on the scene.

Moreover, Harper is not as "sticky" as Van Shey, which helps Starks to play.

Starks did not live up to Pat Riley's trust.

He single-handedly provoked the team's offensive end. Although Olajuwon showed amazing firepower in the paint, he still couldn't cover the brilliance of Starks.

Moreover, due to the huge offensive threat made by Starks from the outside, the rocket's defense line moved out, and Olajuwon, Charles Oakley and others on the inside also got enough space.

You come to me on both sides.

Finished the first quarter.

32:29.

The Knicks led by 3 points.

Starks' runaway gave Pat Riley more room for manipulation, and he became bold. He was replaced with a new lineup of Van Shee, Hubert, Charles Smith, Anthony Mason, and Monty Williams during the rotation.

This is the leader advantage.

It's as if you are at the poker table. When you win money, your style of play will become bolder and calmer.

Pat Riley's lineup broke the Rockets' original plan.

Tomjanovich was unexpected.

Soon, this lineup made the Rockets suffer.

Because the play style of this lineup is gorgeous like the cheongsam on Madonna.

Fan Xi stepped onto the court and instigated a fast break.

He was more fierce than Pat Riley's tactical requirements, and even said that he was out of the expectation of the fortune teller.

His speed increased rapidly and he presented an unprecedented rapid storm. When he led the players to attack the frontcourt like lightning, the Rockets' reaction was obviously slower.

When the Rockets defender arrived in the frontcourt in a hurry, Fan Shey had completed a pick-and-roll with Anthony Mason, and then quickly passed the basketball to Hubert running to the corner.

Hubert complied with Van Hee's arrangement and acted decisively.

The whole process is less than 6 seconds: from the backcourt to the frontcourt shot, the formation of both sides is not stable.

Jeff Van Gundy panicked on the bench like an epileptic patient. He held the back of the chair with his hands as if he had lost control of his body. He kept yelling: This is too fast, this is too fast.

In his mind, Fan Xi's gameplay is heresy.

How can it be so fast.

It's a quick shooter.

Pat Riley knew that Van Hee could be fast, but he didn't expect it to be so fast. This kind of fast has already subverted his perception of fast breaks. In the past, Fan Xi often took advantage of his opponent's unsteady footing to launch fast breaks.

But... it seems that it has never been so fast.

The answer is simple.

Because Fan Xi hadn't kept up with his speed before, now that his speed talent has been released to the pinnacle of A+ level, he is naturally more unscrupulous.

If he is faster, theoretically he can complete the offensive faster.

"Good-Job!"

Pat Riley gave Van Hee a thumbs up from the sidelines.

He is an enlightened head coach. The rotation time is to give the main force a rest. As long as Jack stabilizes the score, it doesn't matter how he wants to wave.

After all, in Pat Riley's heart, the entire Knicks, there is only Jack held in his palm, afraid of falling in his mouth.

At this time, the Rockets also let Olajuwon stay under the court to rest.

The current Rockets lineup is Pete Chilkart as a center, with power forward Chucky Brown, small forward Drexler, shooting guard Mario Ellie, and point guard Sam Cassel.

This lineup is centered on Drexler. Chilkart is a standard white blue-collar center. He doesn’t return fast enough to defend. Point guard Sam Cassell has no fast break experience, plus Chucky. Brown is a bunch of players who have fallen into position.

The Rockets still moved slowly to organize the offensive after Fan Xi launched the lightning offensive.

In the 21st century, running and bombing were once criticized as weak defense and weak in the penalty area.

However, with the Knicks, that's not the case at all.

Charles Smith and Anthony Mason are both forwards who can carry centers. Although Monty Williams is a rookie, he is also very resilient... Pat Riley may have a defender who can’t defend, but there will never be anyone who is not good at it. Defensive center.

Drexler launched an offensive in the waist zone, but tonight, his form was not very good, and his jumper was a little short of his turn over.

Anthony Mason at the basket caught the rebound and passed it to Fan Xi.

Just help shouting: Run!

The Knicks players rushed into the frontcourt as quickly as a meteor, giving Houston no time to react.

The moment Van Hee arrived in the frontcourt, he completed the screen with Charles Smith. He easily got rid of Cassel's defense and sank into the paint, completing the entire offense with a clean layup.

Show-Time!

The hosts all shouted classic lines.

The Madison Garden Arena was full of cheers.

Applauded for the lightning offensive led by Fan Xi.

Beep!

Tomjanovich hurriedly requested a timeout, facing things he hadn't seen before, the more cautious the better.

Kenny Smith offered to take the initiative on the bench, and he applied to play against Fan Xi.

Tomjanovich trusts Kenny Smith, and he also sees that the core of the Knicks' current rotation is Fan Hey. As long as Fan Hey is controlled, this offense will be mostly abolished.

He still didn't want Olajuwon to play the game so early, and his stamina should stay in the second half to fight the Knicks.

The suspension is over.

The Rockets made fine-tuning, Robert Horry and Kenny Smith both appeared on the field, and only Olajuwon remained on the bench in the team's starting lineup.

The Knicks achieved great strategic success.

Pat Riley did not make personnel adjustments.

After the game started, the Rockets after the return of the four main forces greatly increased their offensive understanding. Drexler quickly assisted Robert Horry to hit 3 points.

However, just the next second after he scored, Charles Smith under the basket served to Van Hee.

Van Hee ran with the ball, Kenny Smith tried to block near the center line, but Fan Hee swept him through a change of direction and acceleration... He didn't even see what method Van Hee used to corner the corner.

Upon arriving in the front court, Fan Xi still went deep alone. But after attracting Robert Horry's defense, he used a concealed ground pass to help Anthony Mason soar into the sky and dunk it.

Although, no striker on the Knicks side is as strong as Stoudemire on the offensive end.

However, after separation, Anthony Mason and Charles Smith, two-on-one, will surely beat Stoudemire well.

This is why the Knicks' tactics are so successful.

The Rockets, which have changed the four main forces, still can't defend the New York Knicks. Fortunately, they stabilized the situation on the offensive end and did not allow the point difference to accelerate.

Olajuwon played in the fifth minute of the second quarter. He immediately rewritten the passive beating situation after he played.

Help the Rockets stabilize their position and reduce the score upwards.

Playing for another 3 minutes, as Olajuwon reduced the difference to 3 points, Pat Riley replaced Starks and Ewing.

Still let Fan Xi take a quick run and bang.

Starks was extremely accurate, hitting 3 points when he came up.

Although Ewing didn't like running and bombing, he worked hard to cooperate and formed a strong defensive involvement in the middle distance, which made the pick-and-rolls of Van Shee and Charles Smith more powerful, and also allowed Starks' perimeter threat to expand infinitely.

Back to the defensive end, but also conscientiously resisted Olajuwon.

The Rockets were beaten up.

During the intermission.

66:57.

It is 9 points behind.

Fan Xi scored 5 points and 9 assists in a single quarter, which was an explosion in efficiency.

On the way back to the locker room, Starks was very excited: I knew that this could knock the Rockets down, so we wouldn't have to work so hard in the first game.

Fan Xi was very calm.

Very calm.

He knew why the Rockets were beaten up because they had never seen such a crazy fast break. Moreover, tonight, all the players played at a super level on the offensive end. When the tide subsides, they will study thoroughly... This style of play will not be so popular.

Running and booming as strong as the Phoenix Suns, they have never been involved in a Western Conference championship.

Fan Xi was very clear in his mind.

Currently, he has no perimeter shooting ability. Although his breakthrough skills are very good and his passing is also very prominent, he still lacks in finishing at the basket. This level of personal offense is difficult to pair up with the fast break core.

[The Sun and the Warriors in later generations are so fierce, because Nash and Curry are phenomenal three-point shooters. To use an inappropriate analogy, Rondo started running and blasting, and it was probably because of being watched by others. 】

Pat Riley is a very smart head coach, he thought of this.

Therefore, he returned to the locker room and announced that he would not play in the second half.

This made the players puzzled, but Fan Xi understood it very well.

Right now, the Knicks have taken the lead and are playing steadily, with a high probability of winning.

If you continue to fight this kind of running and bombing, it will be easier for your opponent to see through and make a targeted counterattack.

The most important thing is that the longer you play, the more you will be exposed, and it will be harder to use it in the future.

Raiders need to be used in dangerous places.

…

121: 115.

The Knicks finally won their second home win without any risk.

This is a result that caused an uproar in the outside world, because before the start of the series, more people were optimistic about the Rockets. But now, the trend of basketball commentary circles has changed.

Starks was still vigorous in the second half, his hands seemed to be open, and he made 22 of 28 shots and scored 49 points.

Defending him Mario Elli was photographed with frustrated expressions many times in the second half. Faced with an open shooter, the mental pressure on the defender is unimaginable.

Fan Xi played in the third and fourth quarters, and he still showed his speed advantage in positional battles.

He had the upper hand in the matchup with Kenny Smith.

Speed ​​and agility allowed him to easily cross the defense, and then deliver the perfect shells to his teammates. Starks was fed by Fan Xi.

At the critical moment of the fourth quarter, he crossed Kenny Smith from the three-point line and went straight into the paint. The shot of Olajuwon hitting the layup again even appeared in the top five goals that night.

This ball also made the game lose suspense.

After the game, Starks, who scored 49 points, was asked by reporters: Do you want to steal Patrick's finals MVP trophy. You acted ‘too much’ tonight.

Starks laughed, and he said heartily: "We don't want to discuss the issue of MVP now. The focus is on revenge, which is to raise the championship trophy!"

"I believe Patrick thought the same."

Starkstein said dazedly.

Ape’s data tonight was mediocre, 18 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal. Olajuwon had 41 points, 17 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 blocks and 3 steals. It was almost a crushing result for him. .

But he still showed a bright smile.

"Winning is the most important thing."

Brother Ape said: "John feels good tonight, and he will get more phone meetings. Jack drives the tactics to run more efficiently, so he will hold the ball more. I don't care about this. Winning is the most important thing. ."

Brother Ape is very frank.

Fan Xi also had a large double-double with 15 points and 15 assists tonight.

This data breaks many rookie records because he has assisted in double figures in two consecutive games, adding up to 29 assists, which is a number that many point guards cannot match in a series.

Of course, the most important thing left in this game is Olajuwon's speech after the game.

The African, the head of the four major centers, told the media in standard American English: "Little Jack is the most cunning NBA player I have ever seen. His IQ can be the chief of our tribe."

The NBC reporter quipped him: "Can the chief there also be in love with two girls at the same time?"

"Of course." Olajuwon said: "If Jack joins Nigeria, he can even marry the women he loves home. With his cunning, he can definitely coordinate the relationship between the two women."

Dameng always said that Fan Xi was cunning.

The reason is that Fan Xi's key layup made Big Dream emo again.

Although Da Meng is a talented and flexible center forward, he always thinks that he is different from the other three centers: I play with my brain.

However, at the critical moment of two consecutive games, he was deceived by Fan Xi.

In the last game, he was sent off directly by Fan Xi.

In this game, he thought that Fan Xi's ball would pass under high pressure, but he didn't know that this guy actually slapped it directly in his arms, concealed his left hand, and hooked the basketball into the basket. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Isn't this cunning yet?

It's really bad.

…

The Knicks won two home games in a row. The Rockets' expected goal has not been accomplished. From the perspective of physical fitness and schedule, it is very unfavorable for them.

Even if they won two home games, there is still... a very difficult fight.

The physical fitness of Olajuwon and Drexler will be severely challenged.

The media feel that the weaker Knicks will rely on the advantage of the lineup to win the series in the tug-of-war.

These voices are permeated in various reports, and Fan Xi is a little triumphant: the championship starts at the beginning, a bit sturdy!
