Lian Dao didn't go hard, he directly passed the ball to Danny Green who came to the bottom corner, Danny Green caught the ball and stabilized, and then hit a three-pointer.
Danny Green's outside fire also made DeMar fearful. Just halfway through the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves had a 21-point advantage. Under Lian Dao's flood of offense, only 6 points were left to be chased.
The Timberwolves attacked, Mike Beasley's outside shot was interfered by Lian Dao, and the rebound was snatched by Cousins pressing Darko Milicic.
Cousins then handed the ball to Lian Dao. During the fast break, Lian Dao dribbled the ball behind Beasley to avoid the scramble for Beasley, and then turned around without slowing down to pass DeMeder DeRozan, outside the three-point line An emergency stop in one step, plus a step back and a super long three-pointer.
"brush!"
Lian Dao hit the seventh consecutive three-pointer in the fourth quarter. Timberwolves head coach Kurt Rambis yelled from the sidelines: "Team, double-team, don't give him any chance!"
Now the Timberwolves' lead is only 3 points, and then Kevin Love's layup after passing Stoudemire was slapped on the backboard by Cousins.
You can doubt Cousins' mind, but you can definitely trust Cousins' physical talent.
Immediately, he received the rebound and handed the ball to Holiday. Holiday originally wanted to pass it to Lian Dao, but Lian Dao was surrounded by DeMar and Beasley at this time, leaving Lian Dao no chance at all. ball space.
The Knicks' fast break was impossible this time. After switching to a positional battle, Stoudemire came to the outside to cover for Lian Dao without the ball. Pass the ball, and at this time Beasley also chased after him.
But Lian Dao sped past him and rushed to the inside. Kevin Love hurried forward to assist in the defense. Demire also attacked from the left side, and there was Beasley on the right side. Seeing that Lian Dao was about to be killed The three formed a circle, Lian Dao didn't stop, and threw the ball behind his head.
At a position around 45° outside the three-point line, Stoudemire received the ball openly, took a look, and shot. Beasley wanted to make up the defense, but unfortunately the distance was too far. Tadamier interfered.
"brush!"
Stoudemire hit a tying three-pointer!
All the Knicks fans stood up immediately. They kept clapping their hands and screaming loudly. Lian Dao even heard the hoarse shouts of the fans in the front row. Trailing by 21 points in three quarters, when all the fans felt desperate, the Knicks even tied in less than a quarter under the leadership of Lian Dao.
Kurt Rambis' face darkened, and he cried out in his heart: It's over.
Kurt Rambis hurriedly called another timeout, and the Timberwolves players who got off the field were a little confused, and they were directly beaten by Lian Dao.
In these nine minutes, from leading by 21 points to being tied by the Knicks, although they also scored 20 points in these nine minutes, the Knicks played a 41:20 offensive wave in these nine minutes.
Frustrated and lifeless, the Timberwolves players' psychological defense was once again shattered by Lian Dao's blow.
Although Kurt Rambis kept boosting morale, it didn't have much effect. The overall strength of the Timberwolves this season is not weak. Their weakness is the competitive spirit of the players. The Knicks can launch a Jedi counterattack when they are behind by 21 points, but the Timberwolves can't. None of the games they have won so far this season has come back against the wind.
Starting with a tailwind, they can win the game with a bang, but once the wind is headwind, they will collapse across the board.
This time is no exception, after returning from a timeout.
As Luke Ridnor missed an outside shot for the second time, Stoudemire grabbed the rebound and handed it to Lian Dao, and the Knicks went on a fast break at full speed.
The lightning-fast break broke through the Timberwolves' defense in an instant, and Lian Dao made another shot from outside the three-point line.
"brush!"
Inspired by Kurt Rambis, the Timberwolves, who had just regained some momentum, collapsed in an instant. In the subsequent offense, there were many low-level pass errors, but the Knicks did not give their opponents any chance. They seized the Timberwolves' mistakes , In the last three minutes, the score was continuously opened up.
The Timberwolves' offensive and defensive defeat in the last three minutes also allowed them to lead the game by a maximum of 21 points. They were reversed and defeated by the Knicks led by Lian Dao.
At the end of the game, the Knicks defeated the Timberwolves 125:110.
After the game, Demire stood blankly in the center of Madison Garden. After Lian Dao walked up, he turned his head and then put out a wry smile that was uglier than crying. Although he disguised himself very well, Lian Dao I still saw a tear in DeMar's eyes.
Lian Dao was taken aback when he saw Demeier's expression. He didn't expect that this match would make Demeier cry.
Even the "anti-Zhan" in the east for so many years in the previous life only caused a big shadow in his heart, but there was no phenomenon of being beaten and crying.
Unexpectedly, in a regular season, Demire would be so fancy.
In fact, what Lian Dao didn't know was that the one Demier wanted to beat the most was Lian Dao. He knew the horror of Lian Dao, and Lian Dao, who came to the NBA and continued to improve, made De Maier feel admirable.
But people are like this, once there is a deep impression in the heart, then only by defeating this person can you truly be relieved, this is like the demons in Taoism, and Lian Dao is Demar's friend and Demar's heart magic.
In fact, this is also applicable to the relationship between men and women, but the previous "relief" of boyfriend and girlfriend should be marriage or death.
This is the second game between the Knicks and the Timberwolves this season, and it is also the last game of the season. There was a chance in this game, but unfortunately it fell short in the end. This is what made DeRozan feel the most broken.
In fact, in the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves were the only ones who really stood up and scored. Unfortunately, in the end, he was no match for four hands with two punches.
Lian Dao patted DeRozan on the shoulder, and the two hugged.
In the post-match interview, Kurt Rambis was also very helpless.
"The Knicks are very strong, and it can be said that they are very difficult to beat. Not only are they at the top of the league, but their players' psychological quality and experience in dealing with certain situations have reached a very high level. The most important thing is that they have Sickle. This player seems to be Unable to win, I used all methods, but unfortunately, I still can't stop his offense. It is possible to test whether the team's defense is qualified, it depends on whether Sickle chooses to pass the ball at the critical moment when facing the defender!"
"Yes, he did pass the ball, but what we paid was a three-man double team, so we failed! If Sickle wants to score, I don't think any team in the league can limit Sickle in a single defense. He is too strong!"
Kurt Rambis' post-match news speech also shocked the reporters below. This is the rhythm of the head coach being overwhelmed. Moreover, your evaluation is not too high, but then I thought of Lian Dao Last season's playoffs averaged 40+ per game. Many reporters also know that Kurt Rambis is not exaggerating.
However, with the passage of time and the improvement of the Knicks' comprehensive strength, Lian Dao is more team-oriented and rarely scores high scores. Some people even forget Lian Dao's terrifying scoring ability.
In post-match statistics ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Lian Dao scored 71 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists in this game.
Lian Dao scored 40 points in the fourth quarter alone, breaking the record of 33 points in a single quarter held by Carmelo Anthony and George Gervin.
George Gervin's 33 points in a single quarter is a bit long. In the 77-78 season, in ancient times, George Gervin scored 33 points in a single game in the second quarter in the final battle of the regular season. "The Iceman" George Gervin also became the highest scorer in a single quarter in NBA history at that time, and this record has been maintained for nearly 40 years.
On December 11, 2008, when the Nuggets beat the Timberwolves 116:105, Carmelo Anthony scored 33 points in the third quarter, tying George Gervin's 33 points in a single quarter. Record.
It is worth mentioning that the two games between the Knicks and the Nuggets had the same victim, that is, the Timberwolves, and they were both reversed while leading. It is really an old background!
In the post-match interview, Lian Dao was also focused on by the media.
