Chapter 287 Continued Sleepwalking
"Nick, I think you're a bit exhausted. In the fourth quarter, you should rest off the court first, boy, you go."
D'Antoni appeared to be polite during the quarter, but in fact he mercilessly replaced Anderson.
The player he designated to replace Anderson was Clay, who played briefly before the end of the first half and scored a three-pointer.
Davis gradually got a better understanding of this "Clay". His performance on the court, including his game skills and quotient, he is completely the pinnacle of the Splash Brothers in later generations.
But off the court, his personality is a little different from the Tang God in his previous life that Davis knew a little bit about.
He was so calm, to a terrifying degree.
Like a robot.
DeWeese has a feeling that when the team leads by 30 points on the field, there will be no smile on his face, and when the team is 30 points behind, there will be no look of frustration on his face.
Throughout the game, Davis was observing Clay's expression, and finally he found that after the game went on for three full quarters, Clay sat on the sideline without any expression.
Nick Anderson is also expressionless, no, no one can see his expression.
He lay directly on his seat, covering his face with a towel.
In the fourth quarter, Davis took Clay, Sprewell, Mason and Rodman onto the court.
After weighing, D'Antoni still sent Rodman to the fifth position, and gave up the plan to let Max play.
But that doesn't matter anymore.
DeWeese decided to use himself as a guise to test what kind of brilliance this Tang God, who appeared 17 years in advance, can shine in this era.
The Magic had the ball, and Davis took the ball to the top of the arc, carefully observing Clay's running position.
Clay's running position was the most scientific running route in the NBA at that time after more than ten years of improvement.
DeWeese just patiently protected the ball, waiting for the moment when Clay ran out of space.
His eyes lit up, and he suddenly slammed the ball to the side of the court.
When the ball arrived, Clay ran right into that position, and the defender behind him was just right blocked by Mason.
Clay still catches and shoots, and in such a fierce rhythm, his shot shape has not deformed in the slightest.
This mid-range shot is a solid hit.
Miller watched as Clay ran back to the frontcourt silently. He was the one who was blocked behind Mason just now.
He is going to play an answer-ball.
And in that kid's way.
Coming to the frontcourt, Miller also started to run wildly.
Thanks to the better tacit understanding with his teammates, his running position is much less difficult than that of Clay just now.
However, he was surprised to find that after running for a full 12 seconds, the kid was still following behind him like a tarsus maggot.
The off-ball cover of his teammates, this kid avoided them all like a prophet.
In the end, Miller finally ran out to an open spot.
But when Blackman passed the ball to him, it was directly intercepted by Davis.
Obviously, the Magic set a trap for him just as he defended Anderson in the third quarter.
This vacant seat was deliberately let him run out.
DeWeese had already stuck Blackman and his passing lanes.
After stealing the ball, Davis frantically ran forward.
Miller followed Davis closely, and he had made up his mind that even if he fouled, he had to organize this fast break that might give the Magic a boost.
But instead of directly attacking the frame after leading him into the three-point line, Davis threw the ball out.
Miller looked beyond the three-point line in surprise.
It's that kid again.
And he stopped directly outside the three-point line, and after receiving a pass from Davis, he threw the ball with his extremely standard jumper posture.
"Fast break three-pointer? Why does Davis trust this kid who has never seen him so much?" Miller looked at the route of the ball in surprise, watching the ball go straight into the basket.
With a score difference of 15 points, it took less than 2 minutes to be chased down to 10 points.
The next game completely turned into a duo between DeWeese and Clay. With DeWeese on the rise, he also followed Clay to shoot a three-pointer.
In the fourth quarter, the two teamed up to score 28 points.
Clay made 7 of 5, 5 of 3 three-pointers, plus two free throws, and scored 15 points in a single quarter in the fourth quarter. In addition to his three-pointer at the end of the second quarter, he scored 18 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists in the game.
Davis scored 31 points, 7 rebounds and 13 assists.
But the focus after the game was entirely on Clay.
However, Clay's character of not being able to tell a fart made the reporters very aggrieved.
On the other hand, the film crew of the Celestial Dynasty will also return to China after the live broadcast of the game.
However, according to Director Zhang, the domestic ratings of this game are very high, and CCTV has already considered fully launching the NBA's live broadcast work.
Davis also arranged for manpower, and returned to China with the film crew.
After arranging everything, the next thing DeWeese has to do is to eliminate all interference and honestly sprint to the playoffs.
Most of the season has gone on, and the Magic's schedule is now tightening.
They will go to Cleveland the next day to face the Cavaliers in the post-Trident era.
What's interesting is that in the next game, if Anderson starts the game, there will be a situation where the No. 11 pick who has been drafted for three consecutive years will gather together.
Nick Anderson was the 1989th pick in the 11 draft.
The Cavaliers' starting point guard, Mark Price's replacement, Terrill Brandon, was the No. 1991 pick in 11.
And their starting power forward, Troy Hill, was the 1990th pick in the 11 draft.
In the evening, D'Antoni continued to arrange for Anderson to start.
But Anderson once again let everyone down.
His performance on the court is like sleepwalking.
Not only on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end, he was also blown away by Trier Brandon who was in charge of dealing with him in this game.
特里尔-布兰登这场比赛面对安德森的防守，全场15次出手就进了12球，三分球2中2，罚球5中5，疯狂的砍下了31分4篮板8助攻真实命中率高达90%。
This is not the most outrageous thing. Danny Ferry, who came forward on the bench, only played 14 minutes off the bench, and made 7 of 6 shots, including 4 of 3 three-pointers. He scored 14 points in 15 minutes, and his true shooting percentage reached a terrifying 107%.
Under their extraordinary performance, the Magic almost capsized in the gutter.
O'Neal scored an equalizer goal at the last moment. He didn't feel good in the game. Before scoring the key goal, he only scored 16 of 8, and his shooting percentage just reached 50%.
The two teams finally reached a 91 tie and entered overtime.
In overtime, D'Antoni decisively replaced Anderson, who was sleepwalking, 9-for-1, scored 3 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 5 turnovers, and replaced him with Clay.
As soon as Klay came on the field, he played a role.
He faced Brandon, who had blasted Anderson, forced a shot in his face, and made a crucial three-pointer.
