On May 4, at the TD North Shore Garden Arena, in the terrifying atmosphere created by Celtics fans, the second game of the Eastern Conference semifinals between the Knicks and the Celtics officially kicked off.

"The Knicks lost their first game, Charles, how do you think they will adjust this one?" Kenny Smith glanced at Barkley beside him, he was curious, how else could Barkley milk the Knicks now?

"I think the Knicks should do a good job of defending first, and their first game of defense wasn't like the level of defense that a team that made it to the semifinals." Barkley said.

Barkley still has something to say, that is, he thinks that if Lin Yi can't adjust his condition in time, it will be difficult for this Knicks to go far.

Boy, you're the leader of this Knicks!

"Charles, in the pre-match interview, Lin said he was going to make 50 shots in this game, what do you think?" Kenny Smith threw another question at Barkley.

Barkley shook his head, "Nobody takes that seriously, Kenny, I think that's Lin's response to people saying he was too iron in his last fight, don't forget, this kid is a member of the 180 Club." ”

TD North Shore Garden Arena, the starting list for the second game of the two teams was also given.

Celtics: Perkins, Garnett, Pierce, Ray Allen, Rondo.

Knicks: Lin Yi, David Lee, Gallinari, Chandler, Douglas.

Like the first game, Lin Yi still jumped to the ball easily.

There was a burst of boos from the fans at the scene, and the Knicks were still Lin Yilai to carry out the first attack of the opening game.

It was Garnett who was keeping an eye on him.

In fact, Lin Yi is not very afraid of the old wolf king, Garnett's pace of movement is not as good as it was back then, but the defense of this Celtic team is not simple.

Garnett is man-to-man to himself, while others are more of a zone defense, and if he breaks through, the Celtics will rotate in time, which is Rivers' carefully planned tactic against the Knicks.

For defense, Rivers still has something.

So Lin Yi decisively called the block, his purpose was not to form a dislocation, but Lin Yi wanted to seize the moment of the blockade to attack the Celtic defense.

If the Celtics want to prevent blocking and dismantling, they will form a two-on-two area on Lin Yi's side, if Lin Yi breaks through at this time and the Celtics are making up the defense, their remaining rotation is two defense and three.

At the moment when David Li came over to block the demolition, Lin Yi suddenly started to speed up.

He squeezed between Garnett and Perkins nimbly!

Pierce decisively came over to make up for the defense, and Lin Yi could actually pass the ball.

But he didn't pass it on.

Because as Barkley said, he is the leader of this Knicks team, and Rondo and Ray Allen have a fast rotation, and they can't really give the Celtics time to retreat.

So Lin Yi leaned on Pierce, who came over to make up for the defense, and picked up the basket with his left hand.

Pierce was not pushed away, but he also did not cap Lin Yi, and Lin Yi successfully scored.

TCeltics coach Rivers is very satisfied with the Celtics' defense, because as long as Lin Yi is not allowed to score easily, Rivers will not be naïve to think that the Celtics can prevent Lin Yi in every game.

"Sure enough, you beat me as James......," Lin Yi couldn't help but scold.

It looks like the Celtics' defense is trying to limit Lin Yi.

It's actually about limiting the rest of the Knicks.

Lin Yi didn't play well in the first battle, which was due to his state.

But the rest of the Knicks' players didn't play well because the Celtics defended too hard.

Lin Yi remembers very well that the defensive intensity of the finals in the 09/10 season was quite high, so to challenge this Green Army, he had to overcome difficulties and dispatch his teammates.

"Lin scored the first attack very strongly." Barkley felt like he could finally breathe as Lin Mi.

On the court, the Celtics attacked, and just as Rondo was about to organize, he suddenly noticed that Douglass had deliberately taken three steps back......

Rondo: "......"

In the first game, the Knicks collapsed too quickly, so a lot of black technology didn't have time to use, and in this game, the Knicks carefully prepared a big move.

After the first-round matchup, the Knicks players were less nervous, and Rondo was not annoyed after being let go, and he passed the ball to Pierce singles.

Rivers' offensive tactics are less complicated, reducing turnovers is king, and Pierce's back-to-back singles are one of the main means for the Celtics to stabilize their position.

Your uncle leaned on the "second battalion commander", and the big ass almost pushed Gallinari away, but just as Pierce was about to turn around and play a layup, Gallinari fouled, and he committed a very resolute crime, and did not give Pierce a chance to add two plus one.

When Pierce walked to the free throw line, the fans in the stadium also cheered for the MVP.

In fact, at the beginning, there was a lot of controversy about who was the boss of the Big Three, but after the return of the king in the finals and the leadership of the Green Army to win the championship, Celtics fans still believed in Pierce more at every critical moment.

Garnett's form has begun to decline, and the Wolves have contributed the most to the team this season, in addition to iron and blood, with aggressive pick-and-rolls and high jumpers.

It's hard for him to play like he did in his prime.

Pierce hit both free throws and the score on the court was changed to 2-2.

The Knicks' second offense was still organized by Lin Yi, who pulled out his hand in a dashing manner after making a crossover on the outside.

Garnett couldn't cover it when he slid up, and Lin Yi's hand tonight was obviously much better than the last one, huh!

Finally, it was no longer the awkward sound of striking iron.

4-2, the Knicks led by two points on the road.

On the Celtics' side, Rondo and Garnett blocked and dismantled, Lin Yi did not change the defense, but let Rondo burst in, and just when Rondo was about to make a layup, Douglas, who came from behind, directly took the ball and capped it.

Douglas's move looks big, but it's really just to keep Rondo from giving him a chance to add two to one.

The intensity of the physical confrontation was higher in the playoffs, and the referee just blew for a normal layup foul.

Rondo goes to the free-throw line.

At this time, Lin Yi and D'Antoni on the sidelines made a gesture of 2.

D'Antoni understood and got Milicic ready to warm up.

Rondo made 1 of 2 free throws to make it 4-3.

In the first quarter, the two sides played significantly more vigorously than in the first game, as long as the Celtics had an absolute chance, the Knicks frequently fouled, and on the Knicks' side, Lin Yi also began to use the breakthrough point to create opportunities after failing to score two singles in a row.

With 7 minutes and 11 seconds left in the first quarter, the Knicks called a timeout.

At this time, the score was only 9-8.

Both teams are fighting defensively tonight.

"We've made four offences here." Lin Yi said to D'Antoni as he rested on the bench.

Lao De nodded, "Then I'll leave it to you next." ”

Old German put his hand on the shoulders of Milicic and Dodge Norris.

The eyes of these two people showed a hint of murderous light.

Paused back, people were surprised to find......

Lin Yi sat on the bench?

_YOU_ What's the matter?

"What is this trying to do with the Knicks?" Kenny Smith exclaimed.

Barkley was also confused...... It's a playoff game! The Knicks actually let the main team go down to rest shortly after the opening?

That's right, it's to let Lin Yi come down and rest.

D'Antoni analyzed with Lin Yi after the first game, and the Celtics' bench lineup Lin Yi attacked more easily, so Lin Yi, who knew that he would get a lot of rest time in the first quarter, played extremely fiercely as soon as he came up.

This is to not waste any physical energy.

Of course, in addition to resting Lin Yi, D'Antoni also carefully prepared gifts for the Celtics in the first quarter.

Just as Rondo had just dribbled past half court, Dodge Norris, who had just been replaced by the Knicks, suddenly smiled and hugged him.

Rondo looked confused.

"Shark slashing tactics?" Rivers barely uttered a swear word.

"To be precise, it's a chopping tactic!" Lin Yi and D'Antoni smiled.

Rondo's playoff free throw shooting rate is only about 50%, such a good opportunity to cut people, there is no need to use it in vain!

Of course, if Rivers swaps Rondo, the Knicks can go on to cut Perkins.

Perkins' free-throw shooting percentage is also average, around 5 or 6.

The Knicks do this for a simple reason, to make the game fall apart, even if you make free throws, it doesn't matter, the Knicks have to find a way to drag and consume.

Don't let the Celtics play comfortably, give Lin Yi time to rest!

In this way, Lin Yi was able to take the Knicks' bench lineup in the second quarter to force the Celtics to switch back to the starters.

Drag, consumption.

That's the Knicks' main mission tonight!
