When Nate Robinson was able to shoot TJ Ford out, TJ Ford became more and more desolate.

At the same time, the Toronto Raptors' high third place in the East also looks precarious, and even the commentators dare not say that the Raptors still have a chance to win this series.

"Maybe it's because the Raptors aren't as strong as everyone thinks, and the Knicks aren't as weak as they think." Earl Johnson can only explain with this answer.

What else can be said?

The Raptors stabilized the situation in the middle of the second quarter, though... Nate Robinson's three-plate axe languished after six minutes of might.

It doesn't matter, though.

With Bruce Lee on the field again, and with more horsepower, executed the run-and-run. Quentin Richardson, Jeffries, David Lee, and Channing Fry are surrounded by four shooters, and the super-fast lineup with a star instantly brings a refreshing feeling to the Toronto Raptors in the cold wind: they can still be killed like this.

Sam Mitchell really didn't expect that.

The Knicks didn't even play Phoenix's seven-second offense, but played a five-second offense in Li Zhen's strange speed.

It's as if he has the eyes of Medusa, and whoever stares at him is confused.

Jose Calderon originally thought that he could take over the banner of TJ Ford and become famous for defending Li Zhen. But as a result, I didn't expect that tonight's Li Zhen was slippery, and he twisted his fingers as soon as he made contact, and when his own strength did not surpass Li Zhen across levels, he couldn't limit it...... At the end of the day, he's just an ordinary second-year student.

The half-time whistle blew.

69：49。

The Knicks' lead on the road extended to 20 points.

Moreover, the 69-point half-time figure is already the most in the playoffs in recent years.

In this era, a 50 points at half time is considered a high score, especially in the playoffs, the final total score is ** ten points, and 70 points are not a few.

As a result, the Knicks hit 69 at halftime.

"We all underestimated the Knicks' offensive firepower, and Bruce Lee's abilities as a commander." Earl Johnson gave this comment at half-time.

Kenny Smith also said half-sarcastically, half-sarcastically, half-teasingly: "Who would have thought that Isaiah Thomas would pull out so many garbage contracts and end up with a crazy run-and-gun lineup?" I can assure you that he definitely didn't think that way before, and he doesn't even know why the Knicks have so much offensive firepower now! ”

Charles agreed. He doesn't have much respect for the old man: "Isaiah Thomas has only made one right choice for so many years, but that choice has undone all his previous stupidity. ”

"Especially... He actually cheated Jerry West in this deal, which makes people extremely confused about his IQ. Even Knicks fans don't know whether to continue to baash him or praise him right now. However, it is worth mentioning that James Dolan actually said that he would give him another long-term contract. This is clearly a reward for his significant contribution to the recruitment. ”

Barkley became more and more angry: "Sometimes, you have to admit that some guys who don't know how to learn can get to the top of life by luck. ”

This utterly sarcastic remark certainly did not fall into the ears of Isaiah Thomas.

Thomas doesn't think he's just relying on good luck.

In fact, his draft vision has always been very good. Damon Stoudemire, Vince Carter, Tracy Maddy, and several low-pick rookies, including New York, were all selected by him. He just doesn't have much coaching talent and isn't good at managing the dressing room.

Now, though, neither of these is an issue.

Because Bruce began to discuss tactical details with the assistant coaches.

As for locker room management, Stephen Marbury is also using his Eastern philosophy to bring it together, he just needs to pull Swift aside and teach some court details by hand.

No one's job is easier than his.

Easily to the visitors' dressing room even started to put up blues and blues.

This sounds ridiculous, logically speaking, with the level of chaos in the Knicks' locker room in the media half a year ago, shouldn't you listen to all kinds of hardcore raps, and by the way, in the smoke, a few guys full of evil took out guns and ammunition to describe their indescribable plot last night?

But the reality is that the Knicks locker room is as calm as an unfathomable pool of water.

No one even wanted to make a loud noise.

The Buddhist one thought there were twenty Tim Duncan in the locker room.

The quiet break passed quickly, and although many of the fans who went outside to breathe were not yet back, the game was restarted.

Sam Mitchell used a shouter's rant in the dressing room to tell his players how dangerous the team had been, and that failing to defend the home win would make the world laugh.

His motivation has really made a positive difference in the team, they have a more powerful defence and a very fast movement.

But these... It can't change the situation of the game at all.

The Raptors have to face their problem: they don't have an outside core, an outside core that can play tough battles and maintain the rhythm of offense and defense.

They can only pin their attack on Chris Bosh.

And last year's defeat to the Dallas Mavericks in the Finals has proven that in the NBA playoffs, even a power forward with perfect shooting skills cannot influence the situation of the game.

Chris Bosh is not a little worse than the peak Nowitzki.

The Toronto Raptors' overall lineup and offensive and defensive standards are also very different from those of the Mavericks.

In this situation, it is difficult for them to reverse the situation.

They don't even have a super scorer who can get into the Knicks box with the ball and cause damage, even if... The Knicks' box-area defense was as fluffy as breadcrumbs.

And most importantly, they have nothing to do with Li Zhen.

Whether Li Zhen has no ball or has the ball.

The pack defense, which was proven useful in the last game, lost its effect tonight, and in this game, Li Zhen's off-ball CS ability suddenly caught their weakness accurately, plus the three major anti-aircraft batteries of David Lee, Channing Frye, and Quentin Richardson.

Even if Sam Mitchell wins the best manager, there is no more way to stop him.

Before the end of the third quarter, Kenny Smith began to blow the suona for them, announcing their death: "Perhaps, the Toronto Raptors, who were full of confidence before the game, should be worried about whether they will be swept." As things stand, they can't do anything about the Knicks' strengths, and their strengths can't really penetrate the Knicks' weaknesses. ”

"I think... The Knicks would be the first team in the league to play the following line. ”

Kenny Smith emphasized.

If the Raptors don't lose two consecutive home games, they won't be able to please at Madison Garden.

To know... Before Isaiah Thomas took charge of the Knicks, Madison Garden was known for its iron-blooded home court, and New York fans were also bloody, otherwise Jeff Van Gundy would not have had to hold Mourning's thigh and be used as a mop.

In fact, before Kenny Smith sang a sad elegy for Toronto, New York fans in front of the television were already in a state of unstoppable joy.

If the first game is still a fluke.

Then this game is completely crushing.

Originally, they were also led by the people of Doron Multimedia and ESPN's expert team, thinking that the Foxes' state in this game would be affected by Anne Hathaway, but as a result, Bruce's play in this game was even better, he not only completed the comprehensive crushing of TJ Ford's inhumanity, but also gave a strong answer to the problem that was targeted by the Espanyol defense in the last game.

He completely blew out the Toronto backline and led the team to complete the sweeping frenzy with a new running and bombing attitude.

What else is there to say, long live Bruce!

This unexpected surprise stimulates the secretion of dopamine the most, and James Dolan has even provoked rumba, tango, chacha in the office.

He has no expectations for this series, and he feels very content to sell tickets to two home games.

Who knows, the first game will surprise him.

And now, when the crushing game of the second game came, he had to tell the business department: "You can prepare for the second round of ticket pre-sales." ”

Of course, the pre-sale price is definitely going to rise.

After all, the people of the Big Apple are never short of money, and the elite of Wall Street cut the world's leeks all year round, so can't they let Madison Garden cut too?

……

As much as Sam Mitchell is reluctant to admit the facts that lie before him, he must accept it.

As the whistle blew for the end of the game.

132：88。

They won one of the most auspicious two-digit numbers in the Chinese world.

But they lost two crucial home games.

When Isaiah Thomas shook Sam Mitchell's hand, he was no longer even aggressive, but said gracefully: "Don't be discouraged, you've done a great job." ”

The implication is: you don't have to be ashamed to lose to a top coach like me, even if you're the best manager of the year.

That sounds hurtful.

But what else could Sam Mitchell do but squeeze Thomas's palm hard in retaliation?

"Facts speak louder than words, and the mess of news out there can be stopped."

Thomas didn't mind his right hand being bruised by Sam Mitchell, telling the media: "I've never seen a player as disciplined as Bruce, who has a need for technical excellence. How could a man like him do what the street tabloids speculated during a game? Don't think he's a playboy like Leonardo just because he's handsome, he's decent, we're all decent. That's the Knicks I'm leading by example. ”

Uh..., if Thomas didn't say the last word, the reporters really believed it.

"We don't have a plan for a sweep. But since the fans and players in Toronto don't welcome us back to Toronto, we have to work hard to finish the first round at Madison Garden. ”

Thomas spread his palms and said in the worst tone of his life. As if to pay tribute to the elder brother of Broken Water: I'm not targeting anyone, I mean that all the people present are garbage.

Then, he was attacked by Toronto journalists.

The grumpy Canadian journalist slapped him in the face with the microphone.

This led directly to the intervention of security personnel, and the subsequent interview with Li Zhen was also canceled.

So, sometimes people still can't be too nervous.
