While Tony Allen was surprised by Yang Mo's IQ, the short pause ended and the game restarted with a whistle.
When the game restarted, Anthony Randolph immediately stepped to the free throw line, and he had to make two more free throws.
"Tonight's Knicks players seemed to be a little extra tenacious. They were able to use defense to contain the Celtics' systematic offense. This is incredible." t-n-t commentator Collins was somewhat agitated when Anthony Randolph was executing a free throw.
Surprised, he said: "They actually beat the Celtics 6-0. Oh, it's 7-0 now. Randolph made his first free throw."
"I think the Knicks want to give it a try, and this is likely to be the last ditch effort of the Knicks players. If they still fail to win despite their efforts today, then their next resistance will be greatly reduced, or even
Raise your hands and surrender." Kenny Smith, who has not been on t-n-t's commentary program for a long time, analyzed methodically: "I think this is most likely the result of super-yang, but if he fails to win this time, he will not be able to do anything next time.
It made his teammates show such a desperate attitude."
"What you said makes sense." Charles Barkley actually directly agreed with Kenny Smith. Obviously, his main conflict in the commentary world has been transferred from Kenny Smith to Jeff Van Gundy, but Mr. Van Gundy was not present tonight
.He needs time to heal, and now he may be looking for a quiet corner to lick his wounds quietly.
At this time, Anthony Randolph had already made his second free throw. At the moment he took the shot, he found that his force was too light and the distance of the shot was too short. His shot was undoubtedly his own
He knew the best. But at this time, Yang Mo reacted faster than him. He suddenly moved forward and directly bypassed Glenn Davis' blocking position. When Davis tried to squeeze up again,
The basketball had already hit the front edge of the basketball and flew back. At this time, Yang Mo jumped up high, stretched out his hand and tapped it lightly... Whoa!
The basketball fell firmly into the net, and the Knicks actually beat the Celtics 9:0.
The fans at the North Shore Garden Arena obviously never thought that the Celtics would be so embarrassed. In their view, the Knicks are just fish on the chopping board, allowing them to slaughter them. They even thought that the second round game would be their game.
Time for the home team to recuperate. After defeating the Knicks in four games, they will be able to easily advance to the Eastern Conference Finals after recharging their energy.
From top to bottom, everyone in Boston took the Knicks seriously. But reality slapped them in the face, forcing them to lower their eyes to the sky and take a closer look at the opponent in front of them.
Coming to the frontcourt, the Celtics immediately launched a dense half-court attack, constantly running through cross-screen pick-and-rolls. Under this effective and patient running, Ray Allen soon
After running into position, Rajon Rondo also quickly passed the ball, and then Ray Allen shot... Wow!
Ray Allen finally broke the Celtics' scoring drought with a two-pointer that stepped off the line. This shot immediately attracted cheers from the fans in the audience. They didn't expect that their first cheer came so late.
It was almost three minutes before the game started.
Before their cheers could die down, the Knicks' offense was declared valid by the referee.
Yes. The moment Ray Allen's shot entered the net, Anthony Randolph passed the ball to Yang Mo. Yang Mo ran wildly with the ball, and his teammates even ran one step ahead of him, so he had not yet
After halftime, the ball was passed to Gallinani who ran to the three-point line. Gallinani caught the ball and shot... Wow! A three-pointer brought the Boston people's cheers back to their original form.
Obviously, when the Knicks start running, the Celtics are helpless. Their players are generally no longer young, and the new center is still a fat man whose belly trembles when he runs.
Back at halftime, the Knicks players had little to do against the Celtics' intensive and systematic running screens, but their defensive enthusiasm still had a certain effect, at least their shooting percentage was not too high.
The game continued at this pace, and Doc Rivers had no intention of calling a timeout. He believed that the Knicks' physical strength was not enough to support them from continuing to run like this, and they had to pay more on the defensive end.
Physical strength. In his opinion, as long as the Celtics continue to play so steadily, victory will definitely belong to them. Because... adventurous people will often fall miserably, but stable and upward people will never collapse all of a sudden.
Doc Rivers' considerations make sense. However, like Stan Van Gundy, he still overlooked one thing. Yang Mo now does not only have one function. In addition to passing the ball, he can also attack.
He can also grab rebounds during offense. Wherever the team needs him to go, he can hold up a piece of the sky.
The first quarter passed quickly. The Knicks relied on their early advantage and shooting advantage to take a 32:19 lead. But the price they paid was that the four players were exhausted and out of breath.
In this regard, Celtics head coach Doc Rivers feels very pleased. Although they are behind in the score, they have gained a physical advantage. You must know that the Knicks only have seven or eight people who can play.
They originally had a huge disadvantage in terms of physical strength, and with the fast break and entangled defense now, it's no wonder that there is no problem with their physical strength.
Doc Rivers believed that his team had won the next control. Unfortunately, Yang Mo did not think so. After coming off the field, Yang Mo high-fived his teammates one by one and told them: "Everyone did a great job."
Great, you have proven your courage with your actions. The next second quarter will be left to me, and I will use my best ability to maintain this score. You guys have a good rest, and we will fight to the death in the second half!"
Yang Mo's words were like a direct confrontation with his teammates. In the next second quarter, he would play in isolation. He would use his scoring power to maintain the lead. In other words, he would challenge the Celtics alone.
Five people.
Therefore, Yang Mo did not arrange any tactics. He just told his teammates that the next second quarter of the game would be very easy. Everyone only needed to stop the zone defense position on the defensive end. As for the offensive end, he would handle it alone.
Soon...the bell rang and the second quarter began.
