Chapter 467 The time left for the knights is running out
After four games, the Knicks achieved a score of 3:1.
The most surprising person was the group of people in Boston.
"Oh my god, Lin is so strong!"
In the Celtics training hall, the coaching staff and players watched the ESPN broadcast quietly. The moment the game ended, Tony Allen couldn't help but sigh.
Paul Pierce quickly patted him as a reminder.
Tony Allen's reaction was not slow, and he immediately fell silent. His sigh was a bit of a slap in the face. It hit Danny Ainge directly in the face, and indirectly hit Ray Allen and Garfield.
Nate's face, especially Ray Allen's.
Although Pierce reminded Tony Allen, in fact, he was secretly lamenting: It would have been great if Lin had stayed.
If Lin Yu had stayed, then the 2007 championship would definitely go to the Celtics. If Lin Yu had stayed, there would be no need to play in this year's playoffs, and the league could directly award the Celtics...
…
But now, Pierce can only think like this.
If you missed it, you missed it. As a Green Soldier and the true team leader, Pierce still chose to support Danny Ainge.
"Okay, now something unexpected happens."
Doc Rivers turned off the live TV broadcast. He was the most helpless among the entire Celtics.
"After winning the match point match against the Magic, we focused all our energy on studying the Cavaliers and targeting the Cavaliers, but now, the Cavaliers tell us that they will not be able to beat the Knicks..."
Doc Rivers spread his hands: "Okay, then, from now on, we are going to change our focus."
Rivers is still just saying that they are changing their focus, instead of putting all their energy directly on the Knicks.
Obviously, deep down, Rivers is still optimistic about the Cavaliers.
But the problem is that the Knicks' lead is too big, and Lin Yu's performance is too invincible. It seems that the Knicks will use this momentum to advance all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals.
"As the biggest favorite this season, I don't think we need to think too much about who our next opponent will be. Whether it's the Knicks or the Cavaliers, our Eastern Conference finals will only have one ending, and the Celtics will win!"
Kevin Garnett was quite domineering and quickly stood up and made a speech.
Rivers smiled: "Kevin is right. We will not be afraid of any opponent, but we should not underestimate our opponents. In this recent stage of training, we need to add a link. If we solve Lin Yu
threats."
Although Rivers verbally agrees with Garnett, in fact, he still attaches great importance to the Knicks and is even a little nervous.
In the four Eastern Conference semifinals and the three games the Knicks won, Lin Yu performed at a god level, and Rivers had already sounded the alarm.
At the same time, the game the Knicks lost also reminded Rivers that the best way to deal with the Knicks is to deal with Lin Yu.
"We must prevent Lin Yu from entering the Lin Domain."

Lin Yu naturally didn't know that there was a discussion about him in Boston. Garnett habitually despised his opponents, but other Celtics coaches and players began to really take Lin Yu seriously.
What about Lin Yu himself?
The Knicks did not arrange much training between the two games. Arranging training at this time is tantamount to improvising and is of no use at all.
Lin Yu was very leisurely, so leisurely that he took a trip to the sea on the yacht he just bought.
Considering the next competition, he did not invite a large group of white and black girls. He just went out to sea with a few of his friends to watch.
After all, such an expensive thing had just been obtained. If he didn't experience it, Lin Yu would feel at a loss.
After a trip to sea, Lin Yu stayed at home for the rest of the time, practicing with David Alexander for a while to maintain his condition, and then catching up on the news and current affairs.
The Reddit forum was his most frequented place. Because he browsed a lot, Lin Yu soon discovered that there were many posts about his defense in the forum...
"After the playoffs start, what is China Lin's defense level?"
"Another dominant offense and defense, with defense everywhere. Has Lin Yu's defense improved again?"
"Single defense locks down two of his substitutes, and assist defense and supplementary defense limit LeBron James. Lin's defense is already the best in the league!"
"..."
After clicking on the first post, an American fan soon told the poster who asked the question:
"The individual defense is top-notch, and the assist defense is also top-notch. Overall, of course his defense is also top-notch."
"I used to be top-notch in single defense and locked down many star players. This season, my assist defense has begun to improve and has gradually reached the top level..."
"..."
After reading for a while, Lin Yu thought of a witty remark. After thinking of it, he had a desire to send out this witty remark.
Lin Yu even thought of changing his account, changing to a smaller account without personal imprint, and sent out the witticism he thought of.
"70% of the earth is covered by water, and the remaining 30% is covered by Lin Yu in these games."
After posting this sentence, Lin Yu closed Reddit.
And the influence of his witty words gradually began to be subtle.

The Knicks stayed in New York for two days. During these two days, the three groups of matchups except the Knicks and Cavaliers also successively decided the winner of Game 5.
The Celtics, 3:1, won another game and advanced directly.
The Lakers and Jazz were tied at 2:2. In the fifth game, the Lakers played at home and won the battle of Tianwangshan, leading the series 3:2.
The Hornets and Spurs were also tied at 2:2. In the fifth game, the Hornets played at home and won the game. They also won the Tianwangshan battle and led the series 3:2.
Then, the nation's attention turned to Cleveland.
The Knicks rushed to Cleveland on the afternoon before the game, and before the game started, there was a lot of noise about the game.
Mike Brown is under tremendous pressure. It is said that if the Cavaliers really lose to the Knicks and are eliminated from the playoffs this season, Mike Brown will be fired.
Under this situation, Mike Brown was interviewed before the game and insisted: "We still have a chance. Being behind 1:3 is not the end. The next game is our home game and the total score will definitely be tied to 2:3!"
But in fact, at this moment, Mike Brown had no idea deep down in his heart. After all, in the fourth game, he had already used all his cards.
The current Cavaliers are too strange. The veterans are not useful. Several transactions in the middle of the season have failed one after another. It seems that Mike Brown has a lot of cards. In fact, facing a helpless player,
Lin Yu was at the end of his rope in resisting.
LeBron James disappeared. According to ESPN reporters, although they intercepted James, James refused all interviews and questions.
Lin Yu was bored and paid attention to these.
Although he didn't get much information, he was already sure that the Cavaliers had collapsed internally, and Mike Brown would take all the blame.
Danny Ferry may continue to stay, but even if he stays, he will make deals, clean up the signings that have proven to be failures, and continue to build the team around James.
But the time is getting closer and closer to the summer of 2010, and there is not much time left for the Cavaliers.
