Chapter 425： The magic of taking advantage of chaos

The next morning, the remaining 11 people on the Knicks roster who returned to New York went to the hospital together to see Randolph, who had just been checked and was being hospitalized for observation.

Previously, the Knicks officially held a press conference in the morning to announce Randolph's injury statement. Because of the contusion of the soft tissue of the ankle, he will be injured for at least 7-10 days, and the specific return time is to be determined.

It is to be determined, but many people think that Randolph should not be seen in the playoffs this year, because even if he can recover in 7 days, this is after all the playoffs, not the regular season, leaving time for Randolph to return. It's really too little.

Because of the tight schedule of the game, even if the Knicks and the Magic reach a tiebreaker, it will be over in about 7 days, not to mention that the Knicks, who are currently leading 3-1 by a large score, have already stepped into the finals with one foot, so the East In the final of this series, Randolph will definitely not be able to catch up.

It is possible to catch up with the finals, Kenny Smith said on the show half-jokingly: "Although I am sorry for Zach's injury, the good news is that maybe he is the first of the four surviving teams in the East and West to study. Finals guy."

There is nothing wrong with this, and it is true from the perspective of time. After all, the East is 3-1, but the West is much more intense than the East.

The Lakers won the first game by 2 points and lost by 3 points in the second game. The two games at Staples showed people what a star shines. Kobe and Anthony undoubtedly dominated the game. Anthony scored 39 points a game 34 points, Kobe Bryant With 40 points a game and 32 points a game, the two are undoubtedly the brightest stars in the division finals, more fascinating than Zuo Li and Howard in the East.

The level of excitement in G3 and G4 of the Western Conference finals was somewhat lower than the previous two games, mainly because Anthony and his team had 24 points a game and 15 points a game and some stretched their hips. However, although Kobe Bryant maintained a strong competitive state with 41 points a game and 34 points a game, he Still can only take away one victory on the Denver Plateau.

Especially in the fourth game, the pictures of Kobe, Gasol and other players breathing oxygen in the locker room made people feel the power of the Denver Devils' home court, and the 19-point victory also allowed the Nuggets to tie the score again.

2-2, the two sides are about to usher in the most critical battle of Tianwangshan in 2 days, and this group of showdowns is generally believed to have a chance to reach the seventh game. Strong, and then 6 games to end the battle.

But whether it is 6 games or 7 games, in short Randolph has a chance to catch up with the finals, of course, the premise is that the Knicks can successfully eliminate the Magic.

However, the Knicks are already leading 3-1 at this time. In this situation, even if the general Randolph is lost, will some people think that the Knicks cannot advance? Does anyone still believe that the Magic have a chance to complete a 1-3 comeback ?

Don't say it, there really is.

ESPN's famous commentator, Knicks diehard fan A Smith is one of them. In the program after the game that night, A Smith was very worried about Randolph's injury.

The next day, after getting Randolph to truce for 7-10 days, A Smith expressed his concerns on social networks, but because of the emotions of the Knicks fans at this time, he did not say too much, just Express:

"While 3-1 looks so close to the Eastern Conference title, Randolph's injury will likely change the balance of power between the two teams."

He also took the recent 1-3 comeback as an example. He believes that the current situation between the Knicks and the Lakers is very similar to that of the Lakers. The strength of the Magic is likely to be sealed because of his emotions, mentality and the appropriate tactics of the Knicks. , and Randolph's absence is likely to be an opportunity for the Magic to open the seal.

Then…

Then he was scolded by Lakers and Knicks fans.

It's just that his family knows his own affairs. In the case that the outside world is generally optimistic about the Knicks, the Knicks still know a lot about their own situation.

Not only Zuo Li, but the coaching staff also has such concerns. Although D'Antoni didn't say it in public, his eyes couldn't deceive people.

In the hospital, Randolph himself was in a bad mood. It was obvious that he was a little depressed and sad. It is understandable that he was injured and missed when he was about to defeat his opponent to win the Eastern Championship. This may be the last thing any athlete wants to encounter. .

This is the closest Randolph's career has been to the finals. How many people in the entire league have never touched the threshold of the finals in their entire lives. Even super giants such as Nash and Stoudemire, who have been famous for many years, have to fight for a finals Fighting for places, you can imagine how important this round of series is.

But no way, injuries always come unexpectedly like this.

This reminds me of Paul of the Clippers...and Paul of the Rockets...and Paul of the Suns...Ahem, Paul, what's wrong with you, Paul.

"Brother, I wish you a speedy recovery." Zuo Li did not express his concerns in public. Even if he said it at this time, it would not help, it would only be troublesome.

A group of people hurried back to the arena after watching the injured. They had to try a new lineup, and the Knicks had to find a new way to win.

However, this is not so easy.

After all, Randolph played 76 starts for a whole season. When he was absent from D'Antoni, he had to mention David Lee in the starting lineup. Harrington and K6 became the main scorers of the second team. However, although David Lee has the ability to score Very strong, but he can't replace Randolph's role, his defense and weight are insufficient, which will lead to a decrease in the Knicks' defensive intensity inside.

D'Antoni intentionally mentioned Harrington in the starting lineup, but the effect is not so good. Harrington has been a firefighter this entire season. His ability is actually online, 12 minutes per game and limited time. Contributed 8.8 points and 4 rebounds, and the strength is not bad.

But he is a player who can only play with the ball in his hand. That is to say, his functions overlap with that of Ke Liu, and his defense is as bad as David Lee, which also led to him being the first to start. It can't make up for Randolph's defensive vacancy, and he is not compatible with Ke Liu.

One day did not solve the problem, and the next day the Knicks hurriedly ushered in a key battle at home.

The Magic of the Last Stand really has nothing to lose. If they lose, they really have to go back to fishing. So while the Knicks lineup was a little confusing, they played the best game of the series.

The Knicks made a mistake in the opening game. David Lee, who started the game, failed to hold back Lewis, who came from the rotation. The latter gave the Knicks a three-pointer in the head.

Then Zuoli returned to the inside line, but Turkoglu singled out David Lee in the pick and roll and succeeded again.

Although David Lee has made some gains on the offensive end since then, the Magic obviously seized him and beat him hard, and gave David Lee an autistic attack at halftime.

In the second half, Harrington replaced David Lee, who fouled 4 times. He showed his excellent offensive ability and scored 8 points in a single quarter.

And Howard finally recovered. When Randolph was there, he took turns and Howard couldn't carry it, but now, Harrington is playing casually!

16 points in the half, 28 points in the third quarter...

Playing the entire game, Howard scored 34 points and 14 rebounds and Zuo Li, who scored 35 points and 15 rebounds, was evenly divided, and he felt quite elated.

The Magic also beat the Knicks 120-103, making it 2-3.
