Three hundred and ninetieth chapters simple mode promotion
Although there were no further conflicts in the subsequent games, as the actions between the two sides continued to increase, the smell of gunpowder became stronger and stronger. At this time, the referee increased his whistle, which forced the players on both sides to restrain their emotions.
The first quarter gradually came to an end in this rhythm. With 12 seconds left on the clock, the Knicks made their final attack.
Based on past experience, Celtics players all know that Lian Dao completes the Knicks' last attack.
Therefore, when Lian Dao had just passed half court with the ball, Pierce and Ray Allen stepped forward and stood in front of Lian Dao.
Lian Dao didn't panic at all when he saw the two men double-teaming him.
"I want to score, even you two can't stop me!"
Ray Allen didn't respond at all. He was just a dull guy who never talked trash, so trash talk basically didn't have much effect on Ray Allen.
Kobe has already verified this with Ray Allen.
However, Pierce had some difficulty controlling his emotions.
"Boy, don't be arrogant, otherwise..."
Before Pierce finished talking trash, Lian Dao suddenly moved forward and accelerated in disguise.
Pierce was shocked, and then moved back, but Ray Allen was unmoved. He was already staring at Lian Dao's ball handler.
Lian Dao saw that Ray Allen was not shaken, so he directly executed the breakthrough. Although Ray Allen was passed by Lian Dao at this time, Pierce stood in front of Lian Dao.
Emergency stop, take off.
At this time, Pierce and Ray Allen hurriedly stepped forward to block the shot, waiting for Lian Dao to take action.
But Lian Dao's ability to stay in the air was too strong. After they took off, they both almost fell, but Lian Dao was still floating in the air.
When Lian Dao waited until both Ray Allen and Pierce began to fall, he leaned back and took a shot.
"brush!"
"Buzz!"
The braised egg really did not lie, this is the true meaning of the fadeaway jumper!
Wait for the defender to drop before taking action.
"Kenny, did you see that Sickle's fadeaway jumper is so much like that old gangster? His terrifying ability to stay in the air made all opponents despair. It was this despair that dominated my entire career.
"
As one of the victims of the Jordan era, Barkley still feels a little emotional when he thinks about it now.
When the ball is scored and the indicator light comes on, the first quarter is over.
The score between the two teams is temporarily fixed at 26:32.
The Knicks led by 6 points in the first quarter.
The Celtics performed very well in the first quarter, but the Knicks lineup was too restrained. Once the Knicks started running, the Celtics could only stare.
"Sickle scored 15 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists in the first quarter. The most important thing is that Sickle's shooting percentage in the first quarter was as high as 80%! Pierce's defense didn't seem to be very effective. During the entire first quarter, except for the opening and the end, Sickle...
He plays more without the ball, but has achieved very good results."
"From the current point of view, the Celtics' defense has been turned upside down by sickle."
As a Lian Dao fan, Barkley has never been stingy in praising Lian Dao, and the Knicks did play very well in the first quarter.
The subsequent games were completely at the Knicks' pace.
In the second quarter, the Celtics replaced Shaq O'Neal, but the Knicks began to speed up desperately and continued to play defensive counterattacks. However, O'Neal became the person who slowed down the team on the court. Many times, O'Neal just followed the ball.
The team runs back and forth.
And O'Neal is already 38 years old, and he is already 40 years old in China. If you ask him to travel back and forth with the Knicks, it's strange that he can bear it.
The most important thing is that O'Neal's tonnage is too large, and running back and forth at this level consumes too much physical energy for him.
With a figure like his, he was already out of breath after running back and forth for several consecutive times.
Unfortunately, Rivers had no choice but to take him off the field.
At halftime, the Knicks led 58:46, taking a 12-point halftime lead.
In the third quarter, the Celtics launched a counterattack. These old guys would not give up easily. When Ray Allen and Pierce were restrained, Garnett stood up and turned around and dunked, showing sympathy to everyone.
Jump shot, little hook...
Garnett's inside skills are very good. Throughout the third quarter, he seemed to be back to his peak. Anyway, Stoudemire did not restrain the Wolf King.
Under the leadership of Garnett, the Celtics actually closed the score to 5 points in the third quarter, but Lian Dao did not panic at all.
It's not that Lian Dao was holding back some killer move, but that Lian Dao knew that Garnett was at the end of his strength.
From his heavy breathing and slow movement at the end of the third quarter, it's easy to tell that Garnett's physical fitness is almost at its bottom.
The situation was indeed as Lian Dao expected. At the end of the third quarter, Garnett sat on the bench and was out of breath.
Rivers walked up to Garnett and asked: "How's Kevin doing? Otherwise, let Jeff come on first in the fourth quarter and you take a rest first!"
Garnett nodded helplessly, knowing that his age was no longer the time to show off.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Celtics replaced Jeff Green and Garnett sat on the bench.
As soon as the two teams came on the field in the fourth quarter, the defensive intensity of both teams continued to increase, and there were endless little moves between you and me.
Holiday dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. Just as he was about to break through, Rondo unexpectedly put his foot on Holiday's breakthrough path.
"Plop!"
After a noise, Holiday fell hard to the floor.
The Knicks players on the court immediately surrounded him.
Up to this point in the game, the Knicks players are also very angry. They didn't expect the Celtics to dare to take the lead in making trouble.
"Boy, don't put your rubbish moves on the field!"
Lian Dao roared directly at Rondo.
Rondo's personality is that he is not afraid of anything. At this time, he doesn't care about the opponent's force value.
He rushed directly to Lian Dao.
"You don't care about me!"
As he spoke, he shook his fist.
Rondo, who had suppressed his anger for three quarters, could no longer hold back.
Lian Dao did not dodge at this time. He was waiting for Rondo to punch him, so that he would fall to the ground, and the Celtics' season would be over.
However, Pierce was obviously calmer than Rondo on the court.
He hugged Rondo and pulled him back directly.
Fortunately, Pierce used all his strength, otherwise he might not have been able to hold Rondo down.
Seeing Rondo still struggling, Pierce said: "Rajan, don't forget our goal for this season. With this punch, everything will be ruined!"
As one of the Big Three, Pierce's words are still very effective, and as an old man of the Celtics, Pierce's words carry quite a lot of weight.
Rondo also calmed down at this time and stopped struggling.
Seeing the stadium fight end in an anticlimactic manner, Lian Dao also showed a pity expression.
I originally wanted to advance through the simple mode, but unfortunately the opponent actually had sane players.
The referee gave Rondo a blocking foul.
The Knicks reorganized their offense and Lian Dao received the basketball at the top of the arc outside the three-point line.
He feinted a shot and then went straight to the basket.
In the fourth quarter, Lian Dao didn't want to waste time with the opponent. He wanted to make a quick decision when Garnett was not on the court. Waiting for Garnett to recover physically, the longer he delayed, the worse it would be for the Knicks.
Moreover, all the opponents are experienced veterans. The closer the game is to the final moment, the greater the importance of experience.
To deal with these old foxes like the Celtics, we must fight quickly.
Taking this into account, Lian Dao also completely took over the team's offense.
This time he was going to attack the Celtics basket.
Pierce tried his best to prevent Lian Dao from breaking through, but Lian Dao still accelerated past him in disguise. Lian Dao, who had reached the inside, did not hesitate to defend Jeff Green who came in.
Jeff Green's defense was timely and he stretched out his arms in an attempt to interfere with Lian Dao's sight.
Lian Dao turned around directly, and his body passed Jeff Green like a top.
Before Jeff Green could react, Lian Dao had already reached the basket.
At this time, the Celtics had only O'Neal left under the basket. Garnett went off to rest. The Celtics had to have a frame protector in the paint. In contrast, Rivers still chose O'Neal.
Big O'Neal's size is indeed a natural barrier. He firmly blocked Lian Dao's path.
Lian Dao immediately stood up from the ground, rounded his arms holding the ball, and dunked toward the basket!
O'Neal, who was lacking in physical fitness, could no longer jump, so he could only try his best to interfere with Lian Dao.
But it didn't cause much interference to Lian Dao. On the contrary, he even got a foul.
2+1!
Lian Dao's domineering dunk at the beginning of the fourth quarter took the lead in kicking off the Knicks' counterattack.
