Throwing aside the esoteric science of time and space, seconds are definitely the smallest unit of time in daily life, 1 second may only be able to complete a blink of an eye for ordinary people, but for NBA players can complete a fatal blow. Throughout the NBA's long history, a total of 10 players have completed the kill in 1 second, the most famous of which is the 2004 Western Conference Finals fifth game Derek Fisher 0.4 seconds to beat the San Antonio Spurs; but when it comes to the shortest time-consuming kill, no one in the world today can compare with the 2006-07 regular season David Lee's extreme operation, this issue will take you back to David Lee 0.1 kill Charlotte Bobcats.
In the 2006-07 season, the Veteran New York Knicks in the East were in the darkest moment of team history, not only failing to qualify for the playoffs for many years in the bottom of the record rankings, but also hoarding a number of powerful but strange cows and snake gods, resulting in many contradictions and farces within the team, even if Larry Brown and Isaiah Thomas, who have championship experience, can not reverse the decline.
On December 17, 2006, during the Knicks' home game against the Nuggets, Maddie Collins' foul on the fast-attacking Jr Smith locking throat in the face of a loss that triggered a fierce group fight between the two sides, and the referee immediately expelled all 10 players present, and after the game, the league imposed additional bans on Four Knicks players, including Collins, Nate Robinson, Jared Jeffries, and Jerome Williams, whose behavior not only defiled the sacred Madison Square Garden. It also destroyed the image that the NBA League had just repaired.
Although the nature of the fight is bad, but from the side, it has inspired the morale of the Knicks, and in the case of a shortage of lineups, the team has shown unprecedented unity and resilience to win 3 consecutive games, 2 of which are ended by extra time. During this period, Stephen Marbury changed his lone wolf character, averaging 8.3 assists per game to revitalize the team; Jamal Crawford also fired 24.3 points in all opening games; the most surprising performance was the second-year rookie David Lee, who averaged 13 points and 17.7 rebounds after starting in the suspension, and he played a career highlight against the Charlotte Bobcats on December 21, 2006.
Although there are no popular superstars on both sides, the competition is extremely fierce, and the ups and downs of the process are not rookies pecking at each other. In the first half, the Bobcats attacked under raymond Felton's 9 assists in tandem, and all eight members of the team scored points to establish a double-digit lead.
In the third quarter, the "Little Sharks" Eddie Curry scored 11 points on the inside to help the Knicks close the score, Bobcats forward Gerald Wallace hit two three-pointers in a row, but the Knicks actively fought for rebounds in the front court so that they got a lot of second offensive opportunities, from 11 points behind to 7 points. In the fourth quarter, the game began to make waves again, the Knicks attacked suddenly powered out and scored only 9 points, and the mistakes increased, and the Bobcats took advantage of the situation to tie the score.
In the first overtime, the two sides fought hard to defend the score, and Marbury missed a winning opportunity on 27 seconds and 2 free throws. However, in the second overtime, Marbury made up for first two free throws, then assisted Curry to play 2+1, and then steal Matt Carroll to win the key ball for the team. The Knicks served on the sideline in the last 0.1 seconds, and due to the fleeting time, the two sides were ready for a third overtime battle, (according to the "Trent Tucker Rule", when the player could not catch the ball and shoot when the remaining time was less than 0.3 seconds), but the magical David Lee actually raced against time to create a miracle.
The Knicks players scattered in the outside to open up space to attract the defense, Crawford made a clever move to throw the ball high into the basket, only to see David Lee jump up and jump with a shot back to the moon to catch the basket! Madison Square Garden boiled in an instant, David Lee single-handedly hugged his teammates to enjoy the joy of victory, and the broadcast footage to the Bobcat generals and boss Michael Jordan were stunned and surprised. This 0.1 second kill not only refreshed the record for the shortest time in NBA history, but also perfectly interpreted the slogan of the birthplace of the league miracle.
