Chapter 255 This is the rhythm that belongs to the Knicks
"oh, this is silk. As long as the time has not been finished, as long as he is still on the court, no one can relax his vigilance at all. If the three-point shooter is a killer, then he is the king of killers, cold and ruthless
!”
"Look, look at the expressions of the Celtics now, Garnett, Pierce, Ray Allen, Rajean Rondo, they were scared by Sickle! They met the strongest Knicks today, the Knicks today
I don’t want to give the Celtic a chance to fight back!”
"They can always pour a basin of cold water on the Celtics when they are in power. Today's Knicks are using a tough attitude and tough goal to respond to the Celtics' offense and defense!"
Jeff Van Gundy could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart, and stood up from the commentator's seat, danced and spitted, and said excitedly.
At this moment, Jeff Van Gundy even felt his mind, and his plan to return to the NBA coaching, even if he was to be an assistant coach in the Knicks.
He really likes Lian Dao so much. He has never seen such an invincible player except Jordan.
Even in his heart, Lian Dao is stronger than Jordan!
Lian Dao stood on the free throw line, and the audience was filled with cheers.
When passing by Garnett, Lian Dao also said: "I said that you can't defeat the Knicks, you will only inspire the stronger Knicks!"
Garnett watched Lian Dao stand on the free throw line. He wanted to spit out a trash talk, but he opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, so he could only watch Lian Dao hit the penalty.
After scoring a four-pointer, the Knicks also entered the second quarter with a 4-point lead.
For some reason, looking at Lian Dao in this state, Garnett couldn't help but feel numb. He finally knew why the Knicks could reach the Eastern Conference Final in the first year.
The resilience of the Knicks is really scary.
Lian Dao ended the first quarter with an extremely long distance of 3+1, and 32:36. The Knicks led by 4 points into the second quarter.
Both sides scored both sides in the first quarter. On the Celtics, Garnett scored 10 points, Ray Allen scored 7 points, and Rondo also scored 6 points. Pierce only scored under Lian Dao's defense.
To 2 minutes.
The Celtics' scores are very average, while the Knicks' main score comes from Lian Dao. He still has no solution under the defense of the Celtics' Iron Barrel Formation and scored 18 points in a single quarter.
In addition, David Lee scored 6 points, Millsap scored 5 points, Holiday scored 4 points, and Wilson and Chandler scored 3 points.
After adapting to the Celtics' defense, the Knicks' overall condition has recovered.
Garnett returned to the bench with a serious look on his face.
As soon as he sat down, he said.
"The Knicks are in a very unusual state today. We must be careful, especially the silk!"
Garnett still remembered the words that Lian Dao said to him just now. Garnett didn't think it was just a simple trash or ruthless word.
The others of the Celtics looked at each other. They disagreed with the evaluation of Garnett’s Knicks, but when they heard Lian Dao, everyone nodded seriously.
This kid is too difficult to defend against, especially the range is too wide, which is a challenge to the entire defense line built by the Celtics.
At this time, the other members nodded.
"We played well in the first quarter, but Sickle performed very well. This may not be a bad thing. You know, in previous games, he often played very long in the first half, which led to the second half because of his super-long performance in the first half.
The physical fitness crisis is that the outside hit rate has dropped seriously, and choosing to hit the inside is just the right thing for us!”
"In the second quarter, we still follow our own pace and make a good defense of the connection time! Tony, you replace Pierce to defend the sickle..."
At this time, Celtics head coach Doug Rivers made tactical arrangements for the second quarter.
Doug Rivers is very familiar with the strength of the Celtics. The Celtics are not afraid of any team in the league. The only thing that can stop them is injuries, but from the moment, their health is in good condition.
So, in his heart, he didn't think the Knicks would have a chance at all.
"In the second quarter, we contracted our defense line. Except for Ray Allen, others can put them at the three-point line. We mainly defend the basket, pay attention to rebounding, double-teaming with the inside, and play fast break counterattack. In the second quarter, we mainly defend the basket, pay attention to rebounding, and win over the inside.
, We must run... "
D'Antoni also explained the tactical arrangements for the second quarter. Everyone nodded seriously after hearing this.
The Celtics' outside projection mainly relies on Ray Allen and Pierce. The Big Three cannot be present at the same time due to physical fitness and youth in the second quarter, otherwise they would not be able to play the full game.
And at this time, it is the best chance for the Knicks to score.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Knicks sent out the lineup:
Holiday, Larry Hughes, Garlinari, Liandao, Millsap.
The rotation lineup for the Celtics is:
Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen, Tony Allen, Garnett, Kendrick Perkins.
Tony Allen stared at Lian Dao with his eyes tightly, his eyes full of vigilance. Lian Dao impressed him in the last game, not inferior to James's strength, the speed of the defender, and the projection covering the half.
The key to ability is height and the height of the attack. Every time you prevent the clean rice projection, Tony Allen needs to cover his eyes to defend.
The key is, the effect is not very good!
In this game, he will no longer let Lian Dao score so easily.
After the Knicks came on the court, they quickly shrank their defense, which surprised the Celtics.
Especially Holiday stood within the three-point line, letting Rajon Rondo's three-pointer and preventing Rajon Rondo's breakthrough.
This made Rajon Rondo feel a strong insulting smell in an instant.
Moreover, after multiple transmissions, there was no good opportunity in the inside, especially Liandao shrinks the inside defense, which made Garnett lose a great advantage in the inside.
So, Rondo directly scored a three-pointer from the outside, and Holiday symbolically stepped forward and reached out to interfere.
"Bang!"
Rondo's shooting has always been his biggest drawback, and this time it was the same. The basketball hit the basket and bounced up, and Lian Dao grabbed the rebound before Garnett.
Then, the ball was passed directly through the half-time quarter and gave it to Holiday who was about to go down.
After Holiday received the ball, he had to make a layup three steps.
Seeing this, Rondo immediately stepped forward to stop him.
After seeing Rondo attracting him, Holiday immediately threw the ball to the right side of the basket.
Gallinari flew over and after receiving the ball in the air, he pushed the ball into the basket with a strong force.
The defensive counterattack was as fast as lightning, and the fast attack was completed in less than 6 seconds.
Garlinari and Holiday collided passionately and slapped their high-highs. Compared to three-point shooting, this Italian shooter prefers to hit the basket and performs earth-shaking dunks.
However, sometimes due to his ball-handling skills, he rarely has the opportunity to play a lone hero, and he uses more to his shooting ability outside the three-point line.
32:38!
The defensive counterattack at the beginning allowed the Knicks to expand the score to 6 points.
"It's too fast. This is the Knicks. This is D'Antoni's specialty. If the Knicks play this offensive posture in the last game, how could they lose easily!" Mike Bryn said when he saw the Knicks' lightning attack.
Rajon Rondo dribbled the ball through halftime, while the Knicks still shrank the basket.
Rondo also knew that the Knicks' defense was determined to be a deficit in the Celtics' outside projection.
So, Rondo called Garnett to mention the outside line to cover himself.
After cover, pass it to Garnett, and an offensive opportunity will appear.
Rondo's breakthrough attracted Liandao to make up for defense. At this time, Rondo also passed the ball to Garnett, who cut inward after pick-and-roll.
Garnett, who received the pass from Rondo, had to double-team the sight of Lian Dao.
Garnett will always pay attention to Lian Dao's position now. It's really because this guy's defense is too fast. If you are not careful, you will give it to you. In the first section, Garnett ate a lot on Lian Dao.
deficit.
Seeing Lian Dao leaning over, Garnett did not choose to attack hard and threw the ball to Rondo again.
However, when Garnett just passed the ball, he regretted it.
Because Lian Dao's double-team just now was a fake move, as soon as he passed the ball, Lian Dao turned over and chased Rondo.
