Chapter 335 Daily Collision
Jump ball, Knicks attack.

Zhang Heli said: "In the crucial overtime, I am sure that Zhongqiu will definitely strengthen the low post and under-the-basket offense."

Yu Jia nodded immediately and said, "His mid-range shooting was average today. He also shot at least half of his shots, and his attacks under the basket only accounted for 20%. He should still have some energy left."

There is no problem with He Zhongqiu's physical fitness. His physical fitness of level 98 is top-notch in the league. He hasn't bothered Bai Laosi in the past few days. If his touch is not good, it's simply that his touch is not good.

Going down to the low post, he demanded the position and the ball in the low post on the left wing, with Dampier defending him.

Nash passed the ball from the top of the arc, and he immediately backed up after receiving the ball.

With his back arched, the terrifying explosive force instantly knocked Dampier over, then he turned around, took a step forward and suddenly flew over Dampier's head.

Seeing this situation, Nowitzki under the basket didn't dare to go over and just dodged to the side.

"boom!"

With a heavy dunk with both hands, the basketball hoop was smashed two feet lower.

"Oh ho!"

Countless Knicks fans instantly cheered.

"Ha ha……"

Zhang Heli laughed and said: "Dampier weighs 120 kilograms. If the Mavericks can make it to the finals, his weight will not be enough.

If the Mavericks want to make a difference, Daniel must gain at least 150 kilograms to be a meat shield. "

"But it's too heavy. His mobility has become increasingly impaired. How can he keep up with Zhongqiu?" Yu Jia said with a smile.

"Yes, so it is now recognized that the difficulty of defending Zhongqiu is far greater than that of Shaquille O'Neal," said Zhang Heli.

105:107, Mavericks attack.

Nowitzki ran on the right wing, got rid of Varejao, received the ball in the far two-point area, and then quickly caught the ball and made a jump shot.

He Zhongqiu has moved from the left waist position to the right waist position, but the German tank's pace is very fast and he still can't defend it.

"brush!"

A splash appeared and two points were made.

"Nowitzki didn't show mercy at the critical moment!" Zhang Heli praised.

Tied at 107, Knicks attack.

Varejao's mid-range shot is average and his ability to get into the air is not good enough, while Nowitzki usually stays in the restricted area to defend.

In this situation, if He Zhongqiu went to the basket to position himself, he would be double-teamed, so he rarely went to the basket tonight.

This time, he moved one step outside the left waist position, and Dampier defended at the left waist position.

Nash broke through from the right wing, broke through Jason Terry and Stackhouse's defense, and entered the penalty area, forcing Nowitzki to make up for the defense.

At this time, He Zhongqiu quickly cut inside and entered the penalty area from the bottom.

Nash quickly passed the ball and shot it high into the air on the left side of the basket.

He Zhongqiu and Dampier on the upper side jumped at the same time, but he was at least fifty centimeters taller. The moment he caught the ball with both hands, he rushed forward.

"boom!"

"Oh ho!"

Amid the loud sound of the ball hitting the rim, the entire audience cheered.

Yu Jia's voice was a little hoarse, but he still shouted excitedly: "Beautiful, aerial relay, Zhongqiu carrying Chenowitzki."

Zhang Heli said excitedly: "This is a talent crushing. Nash's pass is so high that Dampier can't intercept it. Only Zhongqiu can catch the ball."

107:109, Mavericks attack.

"Bang!"

Jason Terry held the ball on the right wing and shot a three-pointer in front of Nash, but unfortunately his force was a little too strong and the basketball hit the basket and bounced off the backboard, being caught by He Zhongqiu.

Back in the frontcourt, He Zhongqiu took a high position, Nash broke through the wall, attracted Nowitzki's backup defense, and then passed the ball to Varejao when he rushed across the baseline.

Varejao's position was one step to the right of the basket, 4 meters away. He made only 1 of shots today and was not very confident. He hesitated before shooting, and by then Nowitzki had already defended in front of him.

At this moment, He Zhongqiu came down from a high position and stretched out his hand to him, and he quickly passed the ball.

"boom!"

He Zhongqiu received the ball and jumped up, leaving Nowitzki no chance to jump and block the shot. While dunking over the opponent, he also knocked him over.

"Di!"

The referee immediately blew the whistle, indicating that Nowitzki committed a blocking foul and He Zhongqiu was awarded an extra free throw.

"2+1? Beautiful!" Yu Jia said excitedly.

"5 fouls, Nowitzki committed 5 fouls." Zhang Heli said happily.

Mavericks head coach Avery Johnson called a timeout to interrupt the Knicks' offensive rhythm and replaced Dampier with rotation center Diop.

Diop was the center selected by the Cavaliers with the 01th pick in the first round of 18. He did not renew his contract this season and signed with the Mavericks, rotating with Dampier at the starting five position.

He is the meat shield found by the Mavericks, weighing 300 pounds, 136 kilograms, with rebounding and blocking abilities, strong defense, and offense has nothing to do with him, averaging two points per game.

Zhang Heli said excitedly: "At the critical moment, as the absolute leader of the Knicks, Zhongqiu stood out despite his average performance in the first four quarters. He made three of three shots and scored seven points in a row. Now he has 39 points."

"This is the role of a leader. Judging from these three attacks, there is no problem with Zhongqiu's physical fitness." Yu Jia said with a smile.

After the timeout, He Zhongqiu made the free throw, changing the score to 107:112, with the Knicks leading by 5 points.

"Bang!"

Jason Terry shot again, faking a shot and then breaking through Nash, and then facing Battier's help defense, he made a quick stop jump shot, but missed again.

He Zhongqiu grabbed the backcourt rebound again, held Diop with his right elbow after landing, and threw the ball in front of Nash who was running fast with his left hand.

"Snapped!"

The meat shield Diop slapped He Zhongqiu on the forearm.

"Di!"

The referee's whistle blew, and the player committed a foul.

Diop's eyebrows jumped. The force of his slap was not small, but he didn't knock the ball out of Wolverine's hand? How terrifying was this grip?
Looking at the deformed basketball in Wolverine's hand, his brows couldn't help but twitch again.

Varejao served the ball from the backcourt sideline, He Zhongqiu ran to the frontcourt free throw line and stopped, Diop was underneath and Nowitzki was in front.

In the backcourt, Nash received the ball.

At this moment, He Zhongqiu, who was double-teamed from front and back, suddenly turned around, trying to bypass Diop and cut into the basket.

Diop was not afraid of the foul and grabbed He Zhongqiu's jersey with both hands.

But He Zhongqiu took advantage of the situation and hit Diop in the chest with his elbow, which made him frown and the strength in his hands loosen. He Zhongqiu also took the opportunity to get rid of him and stepped into the penalty area.

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, Nash waved his hand and the basketball flew towards the basket like a meteor.

"Long pass!" Yu Jia shouted excitedly.

More than 20,000 fans in the stadium also stared at the orange basketball, watching it fly towards the basket.

"boom!"

The next moment, He Zhongqiu jumped up, caught the ball with both hands, and then slammed it into the basket.

"Oh ho!"

The whole audience cheered.

"alley-oop!"

The roar of Bingo Boris, the live commentator at Madison Square Garden, rolled over the arena for a long time.

In overtime, He Zhongqiu attacked the basket with all his strength, making 5 of 5 shots and 3 of 3 free throws in five minutes, scoring 13 points.

In the end, he led the team to beat the Mavericks 8:16 in overtime, with a total score of 113:121, and won the 30th victory. 30 wins and 3 losses, first in the league.

The Pistons are still catching up with a record of 27 wins and 5 losses, but the win-loss gap with the Knicks has widened to 2.5 games.

On the 13th, the Knicks defeated the Hawks at home.

On the 14th, which is the 15th in China, on the eve of the Spring Festival, the Tangshan Earthquake was released.

On the 15th, the second week of All-Star voting ended.

Following 625 million votes in the first week, He Zhongqiu received 315 million votes this week, and 940 million votes in two weeks. It is certain that it will exceed million votes.

The number of votes was halved, but it was still a terrifying number, half of which came from overseas, and half of the overseas votes came from China.

At this time, Marvel Studios has already begun announcing the first issues of the "King of Condor Heroes" and "Super Wolverine" comics.

In the evening, the Knicks lost to the Raptors on the road, suffering their fourth loss of the season.

In this game, the Raptors, playing at home, played like crazy.

Bosh and main small forward Peterson both scored 20+ points, while substitute small forward Jalen Rose scored 31 points.

Whether it was Josh Howard, Battier, or Michael Finley who came off the bench, they were all beaten by Peterson and Jalen Rose.

After losing the game, the Knicks rushed back to New York overnight to face the Timberwolves at home the next day.

On the 16th, He Zhongqiu didn’t get up until noon.

This day is also the Golden Globe Awards ceremony.

Madison Square Garden in the evening.

Tonight is particularly starless, as almost all Hollywood stars with some fame are in Los Angeles to attend the Golden Globe Awards.

The Timberwolves are no longer the same as they used to be. They failed to make the playoffs last year, and without the madman this season, their record is even worse. They currently have 17 wins and 17 losses, ranking th in the Western Conference.

Garnett is particularly envious of the Knicks' lineup. If he had this lineup, he could also win the championship.

Especially the Knicks' bench lineup is so luxurious. In comparison, the Timberwolves' bench lineup is too shabby.

When he saw Garnett, He Zhongqiu thought of Madman.

The guy who looked down on the annual salary of 7 million has not left since he entered the free market and is still in it.

The Knicks have not lost a game at home this season, so no one wants to lose even if it is a back-to-back game against the non-competitive Timberwolves.

He Zhongqiu played to his full potential, beating the Timberwolves with 53 points in a single game, scoring his second 50+ in his career and leading the team to a home victory.

When I got home in the middle of the night, Bai Bing was still awake.

The girl didn't watch He Zhongqiu's game, but watched the live broadcast of the Golden Globe Awards. As soon as He Zhongqiu came back, she told him about the Golden Globe Awards.

"Honey, Brokeback Mountain directed by Li An won four awards: Best Director, Best Feature Film, Best Screenplay, and Best Original Song."

"Director Li's salary is going to skyrocket now, and he might even have a chance of winning an Oscar."

"Honey, I haven't seen this movie yet. When can we rent a disc and watch it at home?"

"What's so good about Beibei Mountain?"

"What movie is it?"

"Gay."

"what?"

The next day, the Knicks flew to Chicago. After defeating the Bulls on the 18th, they flew back to New York overnight and played against the Pistons on the evening of the 19th.

Under the spur of Sanders, the Pistons tried desperately to catch up and maintained a winning streak during this period, and the physical energy of the Pistons' five tigers was greatly consumed.

But the current record has caught up with the Knicks, 31 wins and 5 losses, while the Knicks are 33 wins and 4 losses, with only 1.5 wins and losses left.

Rick Carlisle knows that Saunders wants to compete for the first place, and he also wants to give the Pistons a chance, but they cannot lose this game, because if the Knicks lose again, they will only have 0.5 wins and losses left, which is too dangerous.

If we lose the first place, we will lose the home-court advantage when we meet in the series, so we must make sure we don’t lose the first place in the Eastern Conference.

Moreover, this is a home game, and no one wants to lose in front of the home fans. The Knicks have not lost at home this season, and they don't want to lose even more.

"By beating the Knicks, we're going to grab first place in the Eastern Conference and have home-court advantage in the series."

"Everyone has heard clearly, we need to be in the right state from the beginning, 100% state."

In the visiting team's locker room, Sanders was cheering on the Pistons players, and all he had to do was force them to sign a pledge.

The Pistons' Big Five had a general feeling about Sanders because he seemed to only focus on the regular season, which was different from their goal, which was the playoffs and the championship.

This season they played more tiringly than before, fighting hard in every game. Even when playing away games in the West, Sanders wanted to win all the games.

The team currently has a good record, ranking second in the Eastern Conference and second in the league, with the possibility of rising to first place in the league.

They were happy about the good record, but the team's consumption was too high, which made the Pistons' five tigers feel bad.

However, the Pistons' big five really wanted to win against the Knicks, and there was no need for Sanders to force them.

In the first three seasons, the Pistons were eliminated by the Knicks in the series consecutively. They have long been sworn enemies, not to mention that this is their home court.

The game started at 8:30, and after the jump ball, the Knicks attacked.

He Zhongqiu entered the frontcourt from the middle, Rasheed Wallace was marking him, and when he stopped at a high position, Ben Wallace accompanied Varejao into the basket.

Nash came to the top of the arc, passed the ball to He Zhongqiu, then bypassed Billups and quickly cut into the penalty area from the left.

Billups did not chase after him, but immediately turned around and double-teamed He Zhongqiu who was holding the ball in the high post.

"The Pistons play a three-two zone defense," Barkley shouted immediately.

After receiving the ball, He Zhongqiu turned left without stopping.

With a strength of level 97 and explosive power of level 100, the momentum of its turning is like a tiger turning its head, agile and ferocious, but with murderous intent lurking.

When he completed his turn, he immediately attacked the basket.

Rasheed Wallace grabbed his jersey with his right hand, and his left arm was intentionally entangled with his left arm, and he was unable to control his turning. The huge explosive power allowed him to instantly break free from the entanglement of Roaring Tianzun.

The next moment, he took a step at an extremely fast speed, and then jumped up suddenly after the second step.

Ben Wallace, who was entangled with Varejao under the basket, was shocked. It was too late to defend and he could only jump on the spot to block the shot.

"Oh!"

He Zhongqiu rushed towards Ben Wallace, and at the moment of contact, Ben Wallace was thrown backwards instantly.

"boom!"

With the fierce one-handed slam dunk, the explosive sound of the rim bursting out in Madison Square Garden.

"Oh ho!"

Seeing Ben Wallace falling to the floor, Madison Square Garden cheered.

"Hoohoo!"

Barkley screamed twice and shouted excitedly: "After the ball was taken apart, he cut in and dunked. Big Ben was knocked away by Wolverine."

"Wolverine hitting Big Ben, that's a daily knock," Kenny Smith said.

"Haha..." Barkley laughed happily.

Kenny Smith also analyzed: "Although Billups implemented a double-team on the ball handler, Wolverine's turn was too fierce and too fast, and Rasheed Wallace obviously couldn't control Wolverine's turn."

Barkley said: "Obviously, this kind of double-teaming after catching the ball is useless to the Wolverines. They must be double-teamed in advance and not let him catch the ball."

Kenny Smith laughed and said, “It’s not like the Pistons didn’t double-team Wolverine in advance last season, so what’s the point?

When he was in position outside the restricted area, the Pistons could not double-team him with two Wallaces, and double-teaming by others in advance was useless.

Wolverine is too powerful, moves too fast, and has accurate mid-range shooting ability. He is impossible to control outside the restricted area.

If you double-team him here, he can go somewhere else right away, and the entire Pistons' defensive formation will be torn to pieces by his running position."

Barkley laughed and said, "Even if Wolverine directly positions himself under the basket, the double-team of Wallace can't really lock him down."
