"In fact, Paul Joe had already scored just now, so perhaps the pressure should be on Luka at this point? Hahahaha!"
The commentators by the court seemed even more excited than Irving himself.
But everyone on the court treated it as nothing more than an ordinary defensive possession.
After all, while the shot had been spectacular, that was Irving.
For him to make a shot like that was practically routine.
Compared to that, perhaps what was more worthy of praise was that during the previous possession, Irving had turned Chen's help defense into a backdrop.
That was probably the more explosive story, the one the media would write pages and pages about after the game~~
"Shocking! Irving's outrageous reverse layup dazzles the entire arena, Chen reduced to a backdrop!"
Back to the game.
The Knicks' offensive possession.
Rose brought the ball to the top of the arc.
On the wing, Chen Xi, who was being tightly shadowed by Little Jones, first slapped away the hand that had been pressed against his waist, then quickly stepped up toward Rose.
After faking an attempt to pop out for the ball and misleading the Mavericks defender, he suddenly spun into a reverse cut, shaking off Little Jones and getting into the paint.
Immediately after, Rose's bounce pass arrived precisely in his hands.
Chen Xi then rode the momentum to the free-throw line, pulled up directly against Gobert's defense, looking as though he was about to unleash a thunderous dunk that gave Gobert quite a scare.
But in reality, Chen Xi still chose to move the ball.
This time, he found Horford under the basket.
After receiving the pass, Horford smoothly went straight into an underhand layup, calmly sending the ball into the hoop.
Two points. The score became 7-6.
