First game(6)

107:111.

The players on the Knicks bench began to throw towels and shout all kinds of words.

Onsite Commentator: "Unbelievable, This is his 9th three pointer in a row! He broke the record for Most 3 pointers in a quarter of all time! Without a doubt, he's the Knicks best player in the fourth quarter!"

Media commentator: "I don't understand why D'Antoni had him on the bench for the whole game and only played him in the last 8 minutes of the 4th quarter!"

"If he's been brought in from the beginning of the game and can maintain this efficiency, the Knicks had already won this game."

Dante executed the free throw, but he was thinking if he should use his [must score shot]. After some deliberation, Dante decided not to use it. On the one hand his [must score shot] are very precious, he doesn't know when he will get some more. While on the other, Dante didn't want to depend too much on the system.

Just when the onsite commentators and basketball commentators were praising Dante. Dante made a shot.

Bang!

As expected, with the amount of confrontation Iguodala has been giving him, Dante's accuracy was affected.

Onsite Commentator: "This....what is he doing? Such a good chance to chase points, an unguarded free throw..."

Media Commentator:"3+1 can be scored, yet free throws are wasted? He's so incomprehensible...."

D'Antoni wanted to swear, even his teammates headed by Crawford also wanted to swear.

Dante made a surprised look, then smiled and ran to their half of the court.

Everyone: "...."

The lead is still the Sixer's, The Sixer's coach did not call a timeout, he believed in Brand.

Brand will never let a kid be so presumptuous.

Dante's defense was very effective. Miller had no choice but to pass the ball to Brand. This time, Dante made a gamble, the moment Brand caught the ball, he immediately left Miller and tried to steal the ball from Brand using his [must steal].

Upon seeing Dante coming to steal, Brand hurriedly jumped up and shot the ball from the midrange. The shot was extremely high and Dante could only look at the ball and sigh.

Dante's body can't handle a confrontation in the air with someone like Brand now. There's high chance of getting injured. It's a good thing Brand didn't know about this or he would have bulldozed his way through Dante.

Although, Dante's defense still had an effect. The ball bounced twice on the basket and bounced out.

Lee grabbed the rebound and D'Antoni called a timeout.

"We are still 4 points behind, but we stiil have time. There are 56 seconds left in the fourth quarter. We can score this ball and prevent their next attack!"

"This is how we play this ball. Let Chris pass the ball to Jamal for a breakthrough, If there is a chance, just go like this but if not then pass the ball to Dante....."

"Everyone else, be ready to catch and shoot at any time! We must make a shot!"

After arranging the tactics, D'Antoni glanced at Dante quietly.

Dante actually just smiled at D'Antoni.

When Dante was on the court, Crawford suddenly put his arms around his shoulders and said "Dante, you are covering me for this ball!"

Dante was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood what Crawford meant.

At this time, Dante is definitely a player that the Sixer's dare not let go because of 9 three pointers.

With him as the cover, the Sixers can't shrink their defense on the inside.

Crawford.....will definitely have plenty of space for a breakthrough!

Sure enough, After Duhon passed the ball to Crawford, The Sixer's didn't shrink their defense and Crawford had plenty of space to breakthrough. It's like the Sixer's would rather risk two points than let the Knicks get another 3 pointer. Crawford didn't let everyone down, he successfully made a 2 point layup at the rim.

109:111.

The Knicks are now only 2 points behind the Sixer's. This attack took 15 seconds, which means that there are still 41 seconds left in the game

Dante went beside Duhon and said "Chris just stay in the middle of the court. Trust me, I will somehow get the ball in your hands."

Chris Duhon was dumbfounded but since this is Dante's first request for him, he chose to comply. "Okay, don't let me down."

Just as Miller took the ball to the Knicks halfcourt, Dante immediately used [must steal] after getting close to him. Miller already played for 38 minutes in this game, he was clearly exhausted at this time. So his protection of the ball is bound to get lax while Dante who only played for less than 8 minutes still has plenty of stamina.

"Run!"

After stealing the ball from Miller, Dante immediately passed the ball to Duhon who was already running before Dante could even shout run.

Chris Duhon safely made a 2 point layup at the rim, effectively tieing the score.

111:111.

The Knicks bench fell into madness once again. The players were shouting excitedly.

D'Antoni shook his fist hard, too.

"YES!"

This round took only 9 seconds, making the remaining time into 32 seconds.

Regardless of whether the Sixer's can score the next goal, The Knicks still seem to have some way out.

After the Sixer's scores this round, The Knicks have a chance to equalize or even overtake the score before the end.

If the Sixer's can't score this round, The Knicks have a chance to win or atleast they can enter overtime.

Duhon and Lee rushed over and bumped Dante's chest. Dante was pinched from left to right but his face still maintained that calm smile.

"It's not over yet, as long as you believe in me, I will never let you down!"

Dante said this to his teammates but it seemed to also be said to D'Antoni off the court.

The Sixer's coach threw off the tactical board in his hand angrily, no one knowing what words were venting in his mouth.
