Chapter 86: Support for the championship

At the beginning of the third quarter, both teams are fighting spirit.
But there is only one team that can make the last laugh, and Qi Li knows what needs to be done.
Howard is still strong inside, but he can't do that in the first quarter. The Knicks inside is not fake.
Randolph's ability to fight is very strong, Eddie Curry is tall and big, and Jordan can also top it.
The key is that Howard can't keep breaking out, and the Knicks won't let him play comfortably. If Howard is too deep, he would rather foul directly.
Can play, but the efficiency is not high, is the current state of the Magic offensive.
Outside, the Knicks are very staring at the three-pointer, that is, Turkoglu with the ball can make steady contributions.
The offensive efficiency has dropped, and the defensive end is the same, the Knicks have three points.
Chandler hit the bottom corner several times, completely disrupting the Magic's defensive strategy.
Now that the Knicks' offense is mainly on the outside, Howard's help defense ability is nowhere to be used.
After the Magic couldn't fix the two strong points on the perimeter, Marbury and Crawford scored again.
Especially Crawford, who just came up, is in a very good state after the All-Stars.
The game drew near, and Howard could only return to the court early after more than two minutes in the last quarter.
But they could not hold on to Crawford's point, and Chandler's three-pointer today was also exceptionally stable.
Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy yelled from the sidelines. He couldn't understand how the Magic was completely at a disadvantage in the second half, and the rhythm was very good.
You must ensure rebounds, and then... hit a three-pointer. At this time, only simple and practical strategies are needed.
Howard's point can only be used as a cover at critical moments to create a three-point chance for his teammates.
If there is a top guard, the situation may change, but the Magic do not have that condition.
Howard's backing skills are not enough, he is just a rim end point, so the last moment is a bit awkward.
The Magic kept shooting three-pointers, and even though the Knicks' defense remained good, they did not change their tactics.
Turkoglu has been given priority attention to this point, and the opportunities for him are getting less and less.
Magic can only give the ball to Lewis, and Lewis's three-point shooting rate is not very good.
In order to fight the game, Lewis tried to pass the ball according to the coach's request. This is not what he is good at. Fortunately, the pressure given by the Knicks is not that sufficient.
Under the constant conduction of the ball from the outside of the Magic, they also hit a few three-pointers.
It's just that every time they work hard to score points, the Knicks always score in a very simple way.
Marbury is normal, but the pick and roll tactics are more suitable for him.
At Crawford's point, he played a few fairy balls, which greatly damaged the morale of the Magic players.
Asking Crawford to come when he was chasing points made people vomit blood.
In the last few minutes of the game, Howard couldn't stand it anymore. He was the core of the team. If the team could win the game smoothly, he would have been a blue-collar style of play. But now the gap between the two teams has been widened and Howard will not do it. Up.
He kept asking for the ball in the low post, Stan Van Gundy frowned, but finally satisfied him.
The Knicks' inside line now has five fouls and three four fouls. Maybe Howard can cause trouble.
But maybe, Stan Van Gundy doesn't think Howard is so lethal.
Only now I am worried that the team's boss will lose his temper and the team will collapse before changing the tactics. Howard is a big boy, sometimes he has to be stricter, and sometimes he has to coax.
Howard's singles efficiency is still the same. After spending a lot of effort, he can hit and free throws are also OK.
Just like this, the time-consuming effect is not as good as the Knicks, and the game time is not much. No matter Howard is upset, the game can't come back anymore.
However, there is still no outside three-pointer.
At 1 minute and 31 seconds, Howard hit 2+1 to narrow the gap between the two sides to 5 points. The Magic did see hope, but then Crawford scored another three, which made people desperate.
"Damn..." Howard couldn't help but explode.
How upset it was during the half-time break, but now it's done, but with Lewis hitting another three-pointer, the Magic players gave up the struggle.
"Reversal?" Qi Li showed a disdainful smile in an interview after the game. "Please don't look at the Knicks with old eyes. That point behind in the first half is nothing. We are the team with the best record in the league. , We will each other be better at seizing opportunities."
"Howard is strong, but he can't kill the game, so it's a pity."
Howard, who had a good news conference, was a bit indignant. "We were proud in the second half. We didn't play in the right way. We could have won."
When the reporter provoked, he almost questioned the tactical choices of his head coach.
However, as the team's first point, his average shots per game are too few, and he can endure it all the time.
If Qi Li coached Howard, Howard's data is definitely not just like now.
The strong team in the East has been done all over by the Knicks, James Dolan was a little bit unable to sit still, thinking about it or calling Qi Li over.
Exquisite snacks, high-end red wine, high-end ingredients shipped from all over the world.
Dolan has done everything, and said: "Coach Qili, you said that the team is in such a hot state, is it possible... You don't have to be pressured, I just discuss with you, pure discussion, Is it possible for the Knicks to win the championship?"
Qi Li didn’t quite agree with the rich people’s dietary tastes. He ate some relatively ordinary-looking fried steaks, with confidence in his eyes.
Of course there is a chance~EbookFREE.me~ to see the record, the Knicks now It’s the strongest team in the league, and we continue to grow stronger."
"As long as Mr. Dolan continues to support me, everything is possible for the team. We may only need a little luck to win the championship."
"And even if we are almost lucky this year, we will definitely succeed in the coming year. As long as we work together happily, establishing a dynasty will not be just a dream.
Dolan is a little embarrassed. Qi Li has done well this season, but his record makes me want more. "Coach Qi Li, in fact, I am not so impatient. I just really love the Knicks. I really look forward to the Knicks. You can stand on the highest stage."
"Even if I didn't win a championship this year, I will support Coach Qi Li without reservation. If Coach Qi Li leads the team to that step, I promise not to let Coach Qi Li suffer. You can ask, I'm in the circle. The reputation is always the first here."
For the price, Qi Li took a sip of red wine, "Mr. Dolan, you can rest assured. The league is actually very simple, it is a game of capital and stars. Your previous approach is not wrong, but an excellent trader is missing. You support me, I Give you the championship."
