Chapter 0326 - Strange Soldiers, Vitality Appears! (Fourth Update!) )
The Knicks and Celtics played less than half a minute in the second quarter, and the Celtics made substitution adjustments when they took advantage of a dead-ball opportunity.
Nate Robinson, who didn't even touch the ball for a few seconds, went down to Delonte West!
Rivers bumped into the dead mouse again.
West quickly revitalized the Celtics' offense after coming on the court, and the Celtics scored five points in a row at the beginning of the second quarter, closing the gap between the two teams on the court.
Lin Yi, who was sitting on the bench to recover blood, was also attracted by this defender with tattoos on both arms.
To be able to stay in the NBA, Delonte West is not relying on his different aesthetic from ordinary people.
You know, West is a strong offensive defender, accurate basket, play very aura, Lin Yi remembers, this season West will be plagued by injuries, not many appearances, but every appearance can always contribute a magical performance.
Especially in the series between the Celtics and the Heat in the playoffs, the "Emperor" played very steadily, and he could contribute 10.2 points off the bench in that round of the series, which was quite efficient.
West's personality, however, limits his ceiling.
Because West's personality is flammable and explosive, and he suffers from bipolar disorder.
Rivers felt there was hope of winning again tonight, and then sent on Ray Allen.
Rivers hit a double shot, West is different from Rondo, he is a strong offensive guard, the Knicks can't deal with him like Rondo, and the gentleman's sword, who didn't make a shot in the first quarter, can be regarded as finding an opportunity.
It just so happens that the Knicks' bench lineup is also in a scoring drought, Livingston's current mid-range shooting is not as stable as it will be in the future, and as long as Lowe can't score points, the Knicks' second team can only rely on defense.
Watching the Green Army keep chasing the point difference, Knicks coach D'Antoni's old mistake was made again, but fortunately, Lin Yi dissuaded Lao De in time.
It's just the regular season, and you have to be prepared for a tough game against a team like the Celtics because it's hard to eat them in one sitting.
James and Wade in front of the TV felt that they had found a good way to break the enemy, "You see, as long as you can open up space, the Knicks' defense is not without flaws!" ”
"That's right!"
In the second quarter of the game, Rivers simply let Delonte West play all the time, don't say it, West really worked tonight, and Garnett, who was back in the game, also scored an iron-blooded jumper in front of Lin Yi.
Beat your chest and pause, you really have to look at the big wolf king!
The Celtics' veterans clung to the score, and at the end of the first half, the Celtics trailed the Knicks by just two points, 51-53.
Lin Yi was interviewed at halftime, and when asked about the key to winning tonight, Lin Yi said generously: "We have more physical fitness. ”
……
After halftime, the Knicks responded by letting Battier start to defend Pierce in the third quarter.
The Knicks are mainly attritional, allowing Gallinari to rush with Lin Yi in the fourth quarter.
"The Knicks have too many sharp knives on defense." James in front of the TV already wanted to curse, and he was extremely uncomfortable by the Knicks' trick in the opening game.
The Knicks' forward line took turns defending him, each of them like a chicken, and James had someone hanging on his arm every time he attacked.
And the most important thing is that Stern doesn't love him anymore, James made nearly 2 fewer free throws in the regular season in the 10/11 season than in the past, and in the playoffs in the 10/11 season, James only averaged 7.4 free throws per game, you must know that in the 07/08 and 08/09 seasons, James averaged 12.8 and 14.2 free throws per game in the playoffs respectively!
Wade also has a deep understanding of this, the Knicks' outside line is like a cattle, this kind of heads-up wheel battle, the destructive power of the Heat is terrible, because James and Wade not only have to be one-on-one with these defensive experts, but they also have to defend in retrospect......
The Heat don't win on offense, they just rely on defense above intensity to play fast-break counterattacks, and the Knicks' guard has become even more flawless since he became Billups, because Billups has only averaged 2 turnovers per game in his career, which is quite rare as a core guard.
And after coming to the Knicks, Billups averaged only 1.2 turnovers per game, and if the opponent did not make mistakes or mistakes, the Heat's offense would be greatly reduced.
Madison Square Garden, in the cheers of Knicks fans, Lin Yi and Billups blocked the demolition, and Billups swished like a cold arrow.
A big heart is a big heart, West's offense is stronger than defense, Lin Yi doesn't believe that the Emperor Taishang can convulsion the whole game.
Rivers had no choice but to switch back to Rondo, and as soon as Coach Long came on the court, Billups made a request to him.
Coach Lang was in a hurry, wanting to prove that he had a basket, and Coach Lang's long-distance two-point shooting rate in his career was still a respectable 38.8%, and this time, Coach Lang successfully hit a high-pitched jumper.
However, Billups won't stick to Rondo just because he has a shot, and if the Celtics bet on Rondo, the Knicks would welcome it.
In the future, the Warriors will play the Pelicans, even if Coach Lang can score 3 points, the Warriors will not defend him, the reason is very simple, does Coach Lang dare to throw 10 three-pointers in a game?
3 by luck to get 1 or 2, is it just a high hit rate?
Billups seems to be letting Rondo go, but he is actually preventing Rondo from brushing assists, Lang can't rush forward, do the Celtics expect Ray Allen and Pierce to break through?
On the Knicks' side, Battier also hit two top-arc three-pointers in a row.
Battier is only averaging 5.9 points per game in the Knicks this season, but this does not mean that Battier is alive, when Lin Yi used to watch the game, after the Yao Mai combination attracted the bag, as long as it was passed to Battier, Lin Yi felt that the ball was there.
Battier has a career shooting rate of 38.4 percent from three-point range, and in the 12/13 season he shot 43 percent from the field with the Heat, averaging 1.9 three-pointers per game.
Rivers saw that the difference between the two teams was widening, and he could only call a timeout to instill a wave of chicken soup for the soul.
"The Knicks' bench is so strong." James said with emotion.
James feels that his three views have been greatly impacted, why can the Knicks always turn waste into treasure, and whether he is in the Cavaliers or the Heat, he will always feel that his teammates are not playing at the level they should have?
Is it a coach?
James can only think so, after all, D'Antoni is indeed very good at turning waste into treasure, and Dior and Ragabel have completed their transformation in his hands.
Back from the timeout, the old Celtic guys broke out in another wave.
There is an old family member, if there is a treasure, it is not for nothing that these veterans can remain competitive at such a large age.
Pierce was dry-faced, and Ray Allen also made a three-pointer in front of Allen of the Knicks.
Garnett pestered Lin Yi in defense, and after the third quarter, the Celtics chased the score to 78-85.
"What a bunch of abrasive old guys!" Lin Yi knew this after last year's game, but looking at the panting wolf king, Lin Yi knew that his strong attack in the third quarter had had had an effect.
Lin Yi and D'Antoni looked at each other and smiled, it was time to reap the game.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Lin Yi did not stop, and he took Gallinari, Wilson Chandler, Finson, and Lowe on the court.
One big with four small!
