Chapter 426： Loss of 1

A 17-point fiasco, the Knicks missed the opportunity to advance to the finals at home, but what makes Knicks fans even more disturbed is that the predictions made by A Smith are being realized one by one.

A Smith once said after Randolph's injury that the Knicks' inside line would be impacted, which would then affect the entire team's offensive and defensive system. At that time, many people thought he was farting, because everyone knew that the Knicks inside line gate was left standing instead of someone else.

What's more, even if the Knicks lose Randolph, they still have the potential of David Lee on paper. Just looking at the playoff data, the two are almost indistinguishable. In some occasions, David Lee played even better. It's not enough to mention him as a starter.

And the Knicks and Harrington, the key figure of the Warriors' Black Eight, also contributed 12.4 points last season. As a rotation player, isn't that more than enough?

Although Randolph's absence will certainly affect the Knicks' normal rotation, it is also within the acceptable range.

But in fact, basketball games have never been a simple stacking of players. Otherwise, the F4 Lakers would not have been so miserably beaten by five desperate heroes. The number of stars is not necessarily good. Sometimes a super good character is more than you. The three stars who are inseparable and inseparable are much more useful.

Isn't it, Dirk old driver.

In a word, suitability is the most important thing. A player who you feel is not very strong is invincible in a certain team. For example, Jordan, who was fed by Paul to become an All-Star in later generations, has gross skills, but Knowing how to eat bread was the most important condition for Paul's side.

The same was true for the Nets and Martin next to Kidd.

And Randolph is currently the most suitable interior partner for Zuo Li. When the two are added together, that is the effect of 1+1 being greater than 2.

To put it simply, Randolph is responsible for hand-to-hand combat inside, and Zuo Li is more mobile.

Randolph's seemingly bloated skin is covered with sturdy muscles. Although he is not tall, he, like "Flying Pig" Barkley, likes to use his **** to push his back to attack, and Zuoli has also become a low post. Offensive, melee combat masters, the two can be said to be able to advance, attack, retreat and defend in the interior.

At the same time, when Zuoli pulls out to defend, Randolph can also guard the inside line and use his huge weight to protect the frame, and Zuoli's existence also liberates Randolph, he will not encounter double teams.

In addition, Zuo Li can also pull out the pick-and-roll and support, and pass the ball. These two can even play the Nene pick-and-roll, which is basically invisible to other teams in the league. People do it, Bynum and Gasol can't play this.

And how did the Magic Knicks take the lead, that is, Randolph was able to resist Howard after the rotation, Howard suffered a loss when he encountered Randolph's stocky insider, and Zuo Li was able to keep up with Turkoglu.

Okay now, Randolph is not here, David Lee and Harrington can't stand up to Howard at all, either Zuo Li can fight with Howard at ease, or go out and restrict Turkoglu, in short, the two always have a defense not live.

This leads to the end of the G5.

The Knicks suffered a fiasco and suffered a lot on the scene. Except for Zuo Li, who scored a game-high 35 points by his personal ability, Harrington and David Lee scored in single digits because they were restrained by Howard.

If it weren't for the 24 points of G6 and Dragic's 17 points, maybe this game would have lost more.

So this game also made everyone realize that the current Knicks are not the Bulls of the year, not a super team that allows you to win as a general. The tilt of the balance.

This fiasco finally calmed Knicks fans.

However, at the same time, this match also made magic find self-confidence.

after the game.

Howard, who played the best performances in these games, said in high spirits: "Reversal, we only have this idea. G6 is also not the focus. When we return to the home court, we will strive to win, and then come back here to win the tiebreaker!"

Great Van Gundy also said after the game: "After G5, I will tell everyone that 3-1 is not the end of the world, we still have a chance, as long as we play our stuff, we can create miracles, now it's alright, we're back at home, I think we'll still win."

And Howard did not forget to praise his brother Lewis: "Rashad performed very well tonight, he controlled the game and let us play our tactics."

Immediately, some fans scoffed: "What tactic? The tactic of abolishing the opponent's general, isn't it hot to push someone out to bring an Eastern Conference champion?"

However, there have been remarks that the Knicks may be reversed 1-3 on the North American side. After all, after watching this game, the influence of Randolph is still quite large.

This made Knicks fans a little flustered. Indeed, this game gave everyone no hope of catching up or even winning. The third and fourth quarters were a nightmare.

However, there are also fans who have always maintained their confidence. What about 2-3, the next game is their final point~!

And the Knicks have gradually found a little bit of feeling after this fiasco. D'Antoni put Harrington in the starting lineup, and David Lee continued to come off the bench, so as not to reduce the strength of the second team. At the same time, speed up the offensive tempo and use running Bomb against magic!

On May 31, the last day of this month, the G6 of the Eastern Conference Finals will start again in Orlando.

This game is the focus of the focus, and the eastern championship trophy has also come here. If the Knicks win, then they will win the eastern championship trophy after a lapse of ten years.

But the Magic seemed confident, and while it was a bit unethical to think so, the absence of Randolph really gave them a boost in confidence.

However, in the opening game, the Knicks were the first to attack. Harrington, who was playing averagely, was put on the starting lineup. At the beginning, he made a wall for him. Harrington, who entered the pick and roll, made a layup and opened the scoring first.

After that, Zuo Li attracted the defense, passed inside and assisted Harrington to score 4 points in a row!

The rhythm of the game was fast, and the Knicks deliberately increased the rhythm and used the impact of Zuoli to kill opponents.

Throughout the first quarter, Zuo Li sent 4 assists, while Harrington scored 8 points and 4 rebounds, and the Knicks also led by 5 points 29-24.

"The Knicks are playing well, it looks like they have found their form, and they are in place!" Director Zhang said happily.

"That's right! The rhythm of the Knicks has become faster, this is trying to bombard!" Yang Yi said on the side.

In the first three quarters, the Knicks have been using fast breaks to make up for the lack of defense. Through everyone's good state, they still lead by 6 points 89-83 in the three quarters.

However, in the fourth quarter, the situation changed!

Magic Turkoglu and Lewis began to exert their strength. The two teamed up to tie the score within 5 minutes. Then the two teams started a game, and the scores alternated until the last minute. The two sides tied 106-106!

However, at the critical moment, Turkoglu stood up. He first spiritually stole Harrington's pass, and then assisted Warcraft to complete the dunk!

108-106!

Then the Knicks' offense was destroyed by Turkoglu's defense.

112-108, the Knicks lost again on the road, and the big score was tied at 3-3!
