The first goal was a regular three-pointer. Lin Yu just wanted to further prove his touch.
The result was good, and his touch was good. If the Celtics didn't make adjustments later, his three-pointers would have the greatest effect.
This game, even without cheating, seems to have hope.
"A three-pointer opened the game. However, Lin's three-pointer reminded me of the dispute between Reggie Miller and Henry Abbott before the game. I wonder if we can see Lin in this game."
A super long three-pointer..."
Lin Yu made a three-pointer at the beginning, which made Mike Breen and Marv Albert even more looking forward to the follow-up of this game.
In the Celtics' offense, Rondo controlled the ball and slowly pushed it across half court.
"The Celtics' purpose is very clear. They want to control the rhythm of the game. If we see them controlling the rhythm of the game, it means that they attach great importance to the opponent in this game because they can't even control the rhythm of the game.
Every little detail was paid attention to.”
The commentary box was analyzing some details of the game, but Lin Yu sneered at it. No matter how the Celtics controlled the rhythm, the Knicks would counterattack when it was time to hit the whirlwind, and hit the whirlwind when it was time to hit the whirlwind.
There will be no delay because of this.
Rondo controlled the frontcourt, stopped at the top of the arc unhurriedly, and then began to look for his teammates.
When Pierce's left side was about to reach his position, he immediately passed the basketball.
In the middle distance on the left, Pierce received the ball with his back to the basket. Facing Wilson Chandler's defense, he advanced two steps behind his back and suddenly turned around and made a pull-up.
With a bang, the basketball smashed out of the frame.
This shows the difference. Lin Yu hit a three-pointer in the opening game, while Pierce seemed to be still looking for his crosshairs.
"Rebound rebound!"
Garnett roared, but Randolph blocked the position very resolutely. Lin Yu rushed out and shouted after Garnett: "I am the rebounder when I step on the horse!"
Jumping up and grabbing the rebound, there was a chance to counterattack.
"Fight back, fight back!"
The Celtics' reaction to the quick counterattack from the Knicks was not slow, and all players retreated. However, because of Perkins' bulkiness, it was difficult for the defensive system to be formed in a short period of time.
The Knicks obviously have a chance to counterattack and defeat the Celtics' defense. Everyone has their eyes wide open. If the Knicks score another goal, they will have a huge advantage at the beginning.
"Lin sprinted with the ball, he passed half court, Ray and Paul kept retreating..."
Lin Yu crossed half court, but Ray Allen, who was retreating, had already appeared in front of the three-point line in the Celtics backcourt. He stopped a step and was already guarding against Lin Yu's three-pointer.
However, after Lin Yu crossed the half court, he only took two steps. With a squeaking sound, his sneakers scraped the floor urgently, and he stopped.
In the flash of lightning, Ray Allen guessed what Lin Yu was thinking, and the fans, commentators and coaches in the audience also guessed what Lin Yu was thinking.
"Oh no, he suddenly stopped suddenly, two meters away from the three-point line, and took a shot. It was a super long three-pointer!"
Under the big screen of the North Shore Garden Arena, Lin Yu jumped high, with Ray Allen underneath him, looking up at the basketball being pushed out.
Then if a rapid-fire cannonball roars towards the basket.
The arc was not high, even very flat. The basketball rushed straight towards the basket. Just one second before it was about to touch the backboard, it immediately slid down and hit the inside of the basket.
Whoosh!
With a bang, the whole place burst into exclamations of surprise.
"The ball went in, God, this is a super long three-pointer two meters away from the three-point line!"
"We saw Lin's super long three-pointer again, and he seems to be very comfortable with it."
"Reggie Miller is right. Lin is indeed turning ultra-long three-pointers into his regular scoring method. The Celtics' defense will face a severe challenge..."
Lin Yu looked very excited after hitting a super long three-pointer. He high-fived Randolph, who had just counterattacked to the frontcourt, and then raised two fingers.
Seeing Lin Yu's iconic celebration, Boston fans were naturally very complicated.
On the sidelines, Doc Rivers and Tom Thibodeau had serious expressions and tilted their heads to each other, seeming to be communicating.
As Mike Breen and Marv Albert pointed out, after Lin Yu hit this super long three-pointer, the Celtics defense will indeed face a severe challenge.
How to defend against Lin Yu's super long three-pointer while maintaining formation?
Thibodeau is thinking, Doc Rivers is also thinking, but the game on the court is advancing rapidly.
Lin Yu continued to control the offensive end. As for the defense, the Celtics' offense was as constipated as ever. Rondo, who was full of fighting spirit, controlled the ball and hit the wall twice in a row.
Less than two minutes passed, and Doc Rivers stood on the sidelines and called a timeout.
"Lin attracted a double attack from the outside and assisted Wilson Chandler for a dunk. It was 11:2 at the beginning. The Celtics were in trouble!"
Rivers' timeout was quite timely, but after the timeout, they seemed to be unable to find a good way to contain the Knicks' offense led by Lin Yu.
Apart from reintroducing the one-to-one defense, Doc Rivers and Tom Thibodeau have no other good solution.
The Knicks got off to a perfect start.
But soon, as the game progressed, Lin Yu's condition began to decline, and physical problems finally emerged, which soon affected his feel.
Lin Yu's decline in condition was quickly reflected on the entire Knicks team.
Without Lin Yu's leadership, without him containing the defense, without him stepping up to score when the team was misfiring, the Knicks immediately fell into a disadvantage on the court.
The score that was still a small lead was gradually eroded by the Celtics.
At halftime, the Celtics took the lead.
In the second half, the Celtics were completely in control of the game. Even if Lin Yu hit two super long three-pointers again, he could not save the situation.
The game was quickly decided by the Celtics' high-pressure defense.
"It must be admitted that Lin Yu has tried his best in this game. The gap between the Knicks and Celtics is really too big. He cannot lead the team to win with the strength of one person."
“There were six three-pointers in the game, four of which were shots from two meters away from the three-point line. Needless to say, Lin Yu’s score was his super long three-pointers that were the focus of this game.
Amid many doubts from the outside world, Lin has proven his super long three-point shooting. Perhaps what Reggie Miller said is true, Lin is indeed changing the league in his unique way."
At the end of the game, the entire North Shore Garden was cheering. The cheers were crazy and seemed to be venting something.
Lin Yu was helpless, but unlike LeBron James, he did not choose to leave the court the moment he lost. Instead, he stayed in the court, found his former teammates, said hello, and then chose to leave.
.
When he left, the scene was filled with shouts of "Kevin", "Raga", "Paul"...
