Vanessa pouted helplessly, but she was amused by Lamar's jokes, and her mood was finally much better. Ran Wen Xiao said ?? ．?ｒ?ａｎｅｎ`ｏｒｇ

Regarding the league's punishment, the Knicks kept silent except for owner Dolan who complained about it.

No matter what the reporter asked, the Knicks players just didn't say a word. Van Gundy also gave the order to shut up so that he didn't want to make any more trouble, and he didn't leave the alliance with any leverage.

The players were silent, but Knicks fans weren't going to be so willing.

The team has been up and down for so many years, and finally saw the hope of rushing into the finals this year, although the flame of hope is a little small, but it is still burning, isn't it? I didn't expect it to be extinguished all of a sudden.

Hopes were dashed, the team lost two generals in a row, and the league's punishment was obviously biased, so all the anger of the fans and the resentment accumulated over the years completely exploded at this moment.

A huge demonstration against the coalition was in full swing in New York. It has to be said that New Yorkers are indeed so rich that they have so much leisure time, and in just a few hours, tens of thousands of Knicks fans gathered in Times Square.

People were burning Paul Pierce's jersey, Stern's portrait, and the league headquarters was attacked by some extreme fans.

Naturally, Stern was furious about this.

This season, not only the Knicks players led by Lamar, but even the New York fans have caused him a lot of trouble. But no matter how angry he is, he can't help the behavior of the fans, he can't ban so many fans from entering the stadium to watch the game. This is completely inconsistent with the concept that he has always insisted that fans are fathers, so he can only knock out his teeth and drop them in his stomach.

In response to the league's punishment for this brawl, the Boston Celtics naturally rejoiced.

Although Pierce was also penalized in their team, the $20,000 penalty is really just a drizzle for a star with an annual salary of millions, and the team paid the fine on Pierce's behalf.

In contrast, the Knicks' punishment can basically be said to be broken, and the Knicks, who were already unorganized, lost a big man again this time.

Never before in the history of the league has a team been able to make a difference with offense alone. Anyone familiar with the league knows: offense wins the audience, defense wins the championship!

Knowing the Knicks' tragic experience, the Boston Celtics celebrated in addition to schadenfreude. They even began to fantasize that they were making it to the next round. Although the overall score is still behind, every Bostoner is confident at the moment that their team will have no problem making it to the next round.

As their head coach Rick Pitino has said, they are ready to take on their next opponent.

Anthony Walker was even more arrogant in announcing that Boston would sweep the Knicks out of the tournament in three games. As for the two games behind, he automatically ignored them.

New York in May has begun to rain continuously, and the sky over the city is always gray, and a few drops of rain will fall from time to time.

Under normal circumstances, such bad weather will always make people's mood inevitably depressed. But now that the sky is clear in New Yorkers' minds, the city is ready to advance as they make triumphant gestures to the cameras and drive into Madison Garden. They are all eagerly awaiting a victory, one that will be enough to get them hearty.

"Win! New York Knicks!"

"Let those Boston hillbillies cry and go home to their mothers. ”

"Our Lamar is going to be able to smash those Boston bastards tonight!"

"The twins weren't our players' opponents at all. ”

People shouted as if victory was already in hand. Of course, their confidence is also justified, everyone knows that their team is now 2-0 ahead of Boston.

At this time, the atmosphere in the Knicks' locker room was not as optimistic as the fans outside, but it was still a little depressing. The players were all looking up at Van Gundy, hoping to find a little confidence on his face, and honestly they were all worried about whether they would have the courage to step onto the pitch for a while.

Finally Van Gundy spoke, which relieved the players' tense nerves a little. All you can hear is a wry smile!

To be honest, Van Gundy is having a headache because he has no soldiers available, to be honest, the Knicks really have no shortage of capable players, but these guys are strong offensive and weak defensively, and Van Gundy is indeed a coach who advocates defense in his bones.

After another difficult silence, Van Gundy looked at the players with an expectant face, sighed and said: "We don't seem to have a way back today, in order to live up to the expectations of the fans, we really can't think of any other way than to attack desperately." But I don't want to say that we don't have a chance at all today, there are no absolutes in this world, and now no one is optimistic about us, which may be our greatest opportunity. Now that the Bostonians must have prepared their celebratory champagne and are just waiting to drink after beating us, they must not have imagined that they would be ready to fight them even in such a difficult situation. ”

"Desperate!?" Dampot's eyes lit up, but were quickly overshadowed by confusion. He knew he should fight hard, but he didn't know how to fight.

"Their contempt for us is our biggest strength, all we have to do is do everything we can to catch them off guard. ”

Before the game even started, the audience at Madison Garden began to celebrate. The way they look is not here today to watch an NBA playoff game at all, but to participate in a big carnival.

As Van Gundy had predicted, most of the New Yorkers had already started celebrating the planned victory, with only a handful of calm fans seeing the hidden dangers of their teams.

In the tunnel of players, the Knicks players looked very weak, and the ten-man roster really didn't match the word "strong", because Antonio Davis and Sean Battier were not there.

Listening to the tsunami of fans outside, Billups looked back at his teammates: "We don't seem to have a chance to go back now!"

"Chauncey, what are you kidding?" Lamar was clearly unhappy with Billups' opening statement: "Do you think we're going to run away like a bunch of cowards and cry in our mother's arms in front of so many hopeful New York fans?"

Billups ignored Lamar's sarcasm, turned his head to look at the arena not far away, and said as if talking to himself: "Lamar, you know this is our first season, the coach said to work hard, then work hard." ”

Billups' words made the rest of the Knicks players a little inexplicable, but Lamar got it!

"That's right, it's our first playoffs, yes! it's our first playoffs!" Lamar's expression began to turn serious.

Hearing Lamar's words, everyone became serious, completely different from the usual Knicks who always maintained a relaxed mentality at all times, and now they looked more intimidating.

The DJ at Madison Garden was introducing the Knicks players.

"Bobby Simmons!"

Simmons took two steps forward and suddenly stopped and looked back at his teammates: "I feel like we should go out together, like we did in Madison." ”

"Haha! You're not scared by the atmosphere of the arena, are you?" Before Simmons could defend himself, Lamar walked to the front with a smile and shouted, "Brothers, let's go and scare those Bostonians!"

"Fight!

All the lights gathered in the players' tunnel, and the Bostonian was ready to boo. Even if it's a little rookie, as long as the rookie is flying from New York, they don't plan to let it go.

But when they saw the person clearly, they couldn't help but feel a bad feeling in their hearts.

"Fight!

Lamar's voice was not as powerful as it had been in Madison, but his expression was resolute, a determination to give up his life and forget his death.

"Come on!"

"Victory!"

The cheers of the crowd came after a delay of a few seconds, and all New Yorkers turned their lung capacity to the maximum. It's as if they want to use cheers to lift these idols in front of them that they love to the bone.

However, the faces of the Knicks players did not show the happiness that fans expected from beginning to end, although they all held their heads high, but attentive fans could observe that the players' expressions seemed to be a little anxious.

Lamar knew very well in their hearts that since there was no way back, what else could they be afraid of.

On the other side, the Boston Celtics players who were waiting to play felt a little bad when they saw the Knicks perform like this.

"What the hell are they trying to do? Do they want to beat us on our doorstep?" Joe Johnson sneered, and it was too embarrassing to lose the last game.

This talented player, who has been underestimated, has been waiting for this opportunity for revenge these days.

The arrogant Anthony Walker pouted his lips even more disdainfully and said: "They're just bluffing, we're going to win them by thirty points in this game, and get all the damn guys owe us back at once." ”

With the high-pitched Domingo-like voice on the scene, Kenny Anderson, Joe Johnson, Tony Barty, and Anthony Walker appeared one after another, and finally it was their turn to be the star of the house.

"Welcome to Boston's eternal warrior, the greatest fighter in the NBA, and the strong immortal Paul Pierce who can defeat all enemies!"

Amid the almost frantic boos of the fans, Paul Pierce stepped on what he thought was a very good, but in fact extremely stupid step out of the game.
