In fact, not only Lian Dao thinks they will sweep their opponents, but also the Knicks' head coach D'Antoni is also very relaxed before the game. He doesn't think that the 76ers will cause trouble to the Knicks in this game.
His tactical board is even full of tactics against the Celtics. Yes, D'Antoni, as the head coach, is now studying the opponent in the next round. I have to say that this mustache has also begun to float. .
Moreover, it is floating very lightly!
In the fourth game, the Knicks still suppressed the 76ers in the first half. At the end of the half, the Knicks led by 23 points. However, in the second half, the Knicks almost paid the price for their arrogance.
Yin Godara and Louis Williams bottomed out and launched a counterattack in the third quarter.
In Yin Godara's organizational offense, the 76ers tied the score for a while, which scared D'Antoni in a cold sweat.
But in the end, Lian Dao withstood the pressure and led the Knicks to a 12:2 attack wave in the last stage of the fourth quarter, which finally established the victory of the game.
After the game, Lian Dao couldn't help but wiped his cold sweat and almost made a comeback. In fact, the Knicks formed a slight contempt at the top of the table, even Lian Dao was the same. Fortunately, even though he adjusted his condition on the court, It didn't make a comeback.
Otherwise, the Knicks will definitely be the one who gets criticized at the press conference.
"We won this round of the series, but the 76ers also taught us a lot!" Lian Dao said as he glanced at D'Antoni and his teammates next to him.
But D'Antoni was also thick-skinned. He pretended to be fine, coughed twice, and then looked around the press conference, as if he was not the one who was considering the next game in the locker room and changing the rotation lineup on the court. .
Lian Dao really feels that D'Antoni should be glad that this game did not make the 76ers turn around, otherwise, he would have really become a model of pretending not to be a slut. Of course, this also includes Lian Dao himself, after all, he played The bold words before are still vivid in my mind.
Fortunately, he completed his redemption in the game.
D'Antoni took the initiative to take the responsibility of being almost replicated after the game. The reason why this game is so thrilling has a lot to do with D'Antoni.
Oh, this is not to say that he is studying the next round opponent before the game, but his rotation on the court.
Although the Knicks underestimated the enemy as a whole and basically did not do anything on the defensive end, their morale was lower as the 76ers who were behind 0:3. In the last game, the whole team was defeated by Lian Dao and all their momentum was destroyed, so the whole team was There was no power to fight back in the first half.
However, in the second half, D'Antoni felt that the game was stable, so he replaced all the main lineup, saying that he was trying to temper the substitute lineup and let the substitute players come on the court to experience the playoff atmosphere.
There is actually nothing wrong with this, after all, strengthening rotation can help the team go further.
The mistake is that D'Antoni was rotated too thoroughly, and all the substitutes were substitutes. Without the core of the organization, substitutes did not find the rhythm of the game at all.
After this time, Lian Dao finally knew why Xiaomou's rotation was so bad. He might not want to rotate, but he might not be able to rotate!
Sure enough, what kind of master taught him what kind of apprentice? After his apprentice Nash retired, he worked as the head coach and his team-leading performance was not as good as D'Antoni.
In the last quarter of the competition, Lian Dao showed his leadership temperament.
When the 76ers tied the gap, he came on the court to help the team recover the decline.
The Knicks team returned to New York on the 24th. That night, the NBA official website officially announced the most important and most obsessed award of this season's regular season - the NBA Most Valuable Player Award.
There is no big suspense about this award. The only one in the league who can compete with Lian Dao for this award is Derek Ross. The Bulls' winning games this season have improved significantly compared to last season.
However, when he learned that Derek Ross won the NBA's fastest-progress player award, Lian Dao knew that he had basically been stable to win the MVP trophy.
When the league announced the 2010-2011 NBA regular season Most Valuable Player Award, Lian Dao completely became the youngest MVP winner in NBA history.
Among the 120 sports journalists and TV commentators in the United States and Canada, Liandao won a total of 116 first votes, and Liandao also received a vote independent of 120 sports journalists and TV commentators.
.
This is a new rule introduced by the NBA last year. There will be a vote selected by fans through online voting, and the player with the most votes will receive this vote.
Lian Dao won this vote with his overwhelming advantage, and Lian Dao's popularity and influence can also be seen from the vote.
The New York Times also made a large report on the clean rice, and many media also followed the trend.
Although everyone knows that Lian Dao will win the MVP trophy that symbolizes the highest personal honor of the player, they did not expect Lian Dao to win so quickly.
"The real debut is the peak player - silk!"
"The youngest NBA most valuable player in history!"
"What is his real ceiling?"
...
Lian Dao did not pay much attention to media reports because he got the MVP and his teammates were asking Lian Dao to treat him to celebrate.
After obtaining D'Antoni's consent that night, Lian Dao invited all the Knicks players to go to the largest nightclub in New York to celebrate his winning of the "NBA Most Valuable Player Award"
D'Antoni's respect for Lian Dao is very helpful. D'Antoni knew that even if Lian Dao did not seek his consent to go to a nightclub, he had no choice.
Moreover, the Knicks swept their opponents in the first round, and they will have about a week off in the next round, so even if the whole team is partying at night clubs, it will not have any impact on the next schedule.
On the contrary, proper relaxation can also reduce players' complaints and emotions. D'Antoni is also worried that being too ruthless will cause mutiny. He is not Jerry Sloan or Popovich. He doesn't have that right to speak in the team.
powerful.
In terms of honor, he is not as good as Zen master Phil Jackson, who can completely convince the public.
So instead of having a stale relationship with the players, it is better to go with the flow and send personal favors.
Of course, Lian Dao and the others did not play too much, and Lian Dao did not hug each other like other players. Lian Dao just simply made a move.
After 12 o'clock, Lian Dao sent the top VIP card to the nightclub manager, and then offered to say goodbye on the grounds that he had a girlfriend at home.
Liandao has VIP members from New York's high-end nightclubs, wineries, horse farms and luxury entertainment venues. These are given by the boss and managers, but he has never been to it himself.
As a little prince of nightclub in his previous life, Lian Dao actually hated nightclub culture a little in this life, so he found a reason to say goodbye.
And all teammates can understand the reasons they find. In the United States, family is a very important thing, and Americans particularly value family harmony.
...
After the first four games of the first round, there were only 76 people in the league, which was a bad guy, and only the Knicks swept and advanced. The Celtics, who played the fourth game on the same day as the Knicks, lost in the last game.
Afterwards, the Celtics adjusted in time in this game and won the fourth game.
So far, the Celtics have led the Magic with a big score of 3:1.
When Lian Dao learned the news, he knew that there was no chance of returning to the Celtic home magic.
In the West, the Oklahoma City Thunder had hope of sweeping the Nuggets to advance, but in the fourth game, Cameron Anthony broke out, scoring 45 points and 9 rebounds in the whole game, helping the team win the fourth game with difficulty
The victory avoided the embarrassment of being swept away.
However, they only have one game left before they are eliminated.
After the Lakers lost to the Hornets in the first game, they lost to the Hornets again in the fourth game, and most of them are currently tied 2:2.
In this season's playoffs, the downstream teams played very resiliently, which completely shattered the idea of some giant teams wanting to end the first round as soon as possible. Of course, the gap in overall strength will not bring too much to the first round.
Big suspense.
Of course, except for the Spurs' match against the Grizzlies.
The most suspenseful thing now is the game between the Spurs and the Grizzlies, and everyone is paying attention to this game.
Everyone wants to know whether it is the Grizzlies' "Black Eight Miracle" or the Spurs' final turnaround!
