NBA: No. 1 Forward

Popular recommendation:

"Oh, this is sickle. As long as the time has not run out, as long as he is still on the court, everyone can't relax their vigilance against him. If a 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, Rajon Rondo, they were frightened by sickle! They met the strongest Knicks today, the Knicks today I don't want to give the Celtics a chance to fight back!"

"They can always pour cold water on the Celtics when they are on the rise. Today's Knicks responded to the Celtics' offense and defense with a tough attitude and tough goals!"

Jeff Van Gundy could no longer restrain the excitement in his heart at this time, he stood up directly from the commentary seat, danced and spit, and said emotionally.

At this moment, Jeff Van Gundy even had a plan in his heart to return to coaching in the NBA, even if he went to the Knicks as an assistant coach.

He really likes Lian Dao, 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 cheered overwhelmingly.

When passing by Garnett's side, Lian Dao also said: "I said, you can't beat the Knicks, you will only inspire a stronger Knicks!"

Garnett watched Lian Dao stand on the free throw line. He really 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 make an additional free throw.

After scoring four points, the Knicks entered the second quarter with a four-point lead.

For some reason, looking at Lian Dao in this state, Garnett couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling. He finally knew why the Knicks could reach the Eastern Conference Finals in the first year.

The resilience of the Knicks is really frightening.

Lian Dao ended the first quarter with a super long distance 3+1, 32:36. The Knicks led by 4 points and entered the second quarter.

Both sides scored in the first quarter are not low. For the Celtics, Garnett scored 10 points, Ray Allen scored 7 points, Rondo also scored 6 points, and Pierce only scored 2 points under Lian Dao's defense.

The Celtics scored very evenly, while the Knicks mainly scored from Lian Dao. Under the Celtics' iron bucket defense, he still had no solution, scoring 18 points in a single quarter.

In addition, David Lee scored 6 points, Millsap scored 5 points, Holiday scored 4 points, and Wilson Chandler scored 3 points.

After the Knicks adapted to the Celtics' defense, their overall state has picked up.

Garnett returned to the bench with a serious face.

As soon as he sat down, he spoke.

"Today's Knicks state is very unusual, we must be careful, especially Sickle!"

Garnett still remembered what Lian Dao said to him just now. Garnett didn't think it was pure trash talk or cruel talk.

The rest of the Celtics looked at each other in blank dismay. They were somewhat disapproving of Garnett's evaluation of the Knicks, but when they heard Lian Dao, everyone nodded seriously.

This kid is too difficult to defend, especially the range is too wide, which is a challenge to the defense line built by the entire Celtics.

At this time, the other members also nodded.

"We played well in the first quarter, but Sickle played supernormally. This may not be a bad thing. You must know that in the previous games, he often played too long in the first half, which led to the second half. The physical crisis, the outside shooting rate has dropped seriously, and the choice to hit the inside line is exactly what we want!"

"In the second quarter, we still proceed according to our own rhythm, and do a good job of defending the transition time! Tony, you replace Pierce to defend Sickle..."

At this time, Celtics coach Doc Rivers was making tactical arrangements for the second quarter.

Doug Rivers knows the strength of the Celtics very well. The Celtics are not afraid of any team in the league. The only thing that can stop them is injury, but from the current point of view, their health is good.

Therefore, in his heart, he didn't feel that the Knicks would have a chance.

"In the second quarter, we shrunk our defense. Except for Ray Allen, others can put them outside the three-point line. We mainly defend the basket, pay attention to rebounding, double-team inside, and play fast break counterattacks. In the second quarter , we must run..."

D'Antoni also explained the tactical arrangement for the second quarter, and everyone nodded seriously after hearing it.

The Celtics mainly rely on Ray Allen and Pierce for their outside shooting. It is impossible for the Big Three to be on the court at the same time in the second quarter due to their physical fitness and youth, otherwise they would not be able to play the entire game.

At this time, it is the best opportunity for the Knicks to open up the score.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the lineup sent by the Knicks is:

Holiday, Larry Hughes, Gallinari, Lian Dao, Millsap.

The Celtics' rotation is:

Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen, Tony Allen, Garnett, Kendrick Perkins.

Tony Allen stared at Lian Dao, his eyes were full of vigilance, Lian Dao impressed him very deeply in the last game, not inferior to James' strength, the speed of the defender, and the projection covering the half court Ability, the key is height, the height of the shot, and every time he makes a defensive shot, Tony Allen needs to cover his eyes to defend.

The point is, the effect is not very good!

In this game, he will not let Lian Dao score so easily again.

After the Knicks came on the court, they quickly shrunk their defense, which surprised the Celtics.

In particular, Holiday stood within the three-point line, released Rajon Rondo's three-pointer, and defended Rajon Rondo's breakthrough.

This made Rajon Rondo instantly feel a strong sense of insult.

Moreover, after multiple transmissions, there were no good opportunities inside, especially when Lian Dao shrank the inside to defend Garnett, which made Garnett lose a great advantage in the inside.

So, Rondo made a direct three-pointer from the outside, and Holiday symbolically stepped forward to interfere.

"Bang!"

Rondo's shooting has always been his biggest problem, and it's the same this time. The basketball bounced off the rim, and Lian Dao grabbed the rebound before Garnett.

Then, the four-point pass directly through the half court was given to Holiday, who was about to come down.

After Holiday received the ball, he had to make a three-step layup.

Seeing this, Rondo immediately stepped forward to block it.

After seeing Rondo attracted, Holiday immediately threw the ball to the right of the basket.

Gallinari rushed over, and after catching the ball in the air, he pushed the ball into the basket vigorously.

Defensive counterattack is as fast as lightning~www.mtl.com~The whole process takes less than 6 seconds to complete the fast break.

Gallinari and Holiday collided passionately and clapped hands. Compared with shooting three-pointers, this Italian shooter prefers to go to the basket and stage earth-shattering dunks.

It's just that, sometimes limited by his ball-handling skills, he rarely has the opportunity to play a lone hero, and he plays more of his shooting ability outside the three-point line.

32:38!

The opening defensive counterattack allowed the Knicks to expand the score to 6 points.

"Too fast, this is the Knicks, this is what D'Antoni is good at, if the Knicks played this offensive posture in the last game, how could they lose easily!" Mike Breen said after seeing the Knicks' lightning attack.

Rajon Rondo dribbled the ball across half court, but the Knicks were still shrinking the basket.

Rondo also knew that the Knicks' defense set up the Celtics' lack of outside shooting.

So, Rondo called Garnett to mention the outside line to cover himself.

After the screen is passed to Garnett, the offensive opportunity will appear.

Rondo's breakthrough attracted Lian Dao's defense. At this time, Rondo also passed the ball to Garnett who cut inside after the pick-and-roll.

Garnett, who received a pass from Rondo, was about to double-team him when he saw Lian Dao.

Garnett will always pay attention to the position of Lian Dao now. This guy's defense is too fast. If he is not careful, he will hit you. In the first quarter, Garnett ate a lot on Lian Dao deficit.

Seeing Lian Dao approaching, Garnett did not choose to attack, and directly threw the ball to Rondo.

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 around and chased Rondo.
