Chapter 0388 Revenge is coming! (3rd Update!) )
Rivers' method of spiritual victory is indeed powerful.
The veterans of the Green Army sparked their fighting spirit and depleted potential in Game 2, but Rivers found that the new MVP Lin Yi also boosted the morale of the entire Knicks.
Lin Yi, who won the MVP trophy, made another speech at Madison Square Garden before the start of the second game with the Celtics, and when he read the names of his teammates, team doctors, and court staff in turn, Charles Barkley sighed that if such a player can't win the MVP, it will be a big regret for the NBA!
The united Knicks didn't give the Celtics veterans a chance to counterattack, last year's defender has become this year's challenger, when Garnett's Green Army defense was broken through by Lin Yi again and again, how exaggerated was the atmosphere in Madison Square Garden?
98-107, the Knicks bit the second game, and while defending their home court, they will also go to Boston with a score of 2-0.
Lin Yi was 14-of-27 from the field, including 3-of-7 from three-point range and 7-of-7 from the free-throw line, and finished with a game-high 38 points, 17 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 blocks.
When asked again after the game about the Knicks' goals for this season.
Lin Yi didn't toss the media anymore.
"The finals, our goal is the finals!" The FLAG of the new MVP made the reporters cry, peat, and finally have the manuscript fee to take!
Lin Yi knows very well that the Knicks must shout the slogan now, because even if the Knicks want to keep a low profile, they can't keep a low profile.
Shouting slogans at this time can unite the morale of the whole team, and it can also unite the Knicks fans and push this Knicks forward together.
"Lin, do you think you can beat the Celts?" A Boston-based reporter was dissatisfied.
"This journalist, I've been thinking about a question lately." Lin Yi looked at the Boston reporter very seriously.
"What's the problem?" The Boston journalist asked.
"God is omnipotent, right?" Lin Yi asked.
The journalist, apparently a believer in Jesus, replied, "Yes!" ”
"Then you think he can create a stone that even he can't move?" After Lin Yi finished speaking, he turned around and left in a dashing manner.
D's negative sentiment +999!
……
"Oh my God! Boss, you really should get a trophy showroom......" In Lin Yi's villa, watching Lin Yi casually put the MVP trophy that he had just arrived next to the TV, Lin Yi's agent Zhong Muchen said with some distress.
Lin Yi spread his hands, and when he got this trophy, Lin Yi had already felt the heaviness of this trophy, but after delivering his acceptance speech, Lin Yi was relieved.
Because he has more important things to do!
If you only hold one trophy all the time, how can you get more trophies?
"I'll leave this question to you!" Lin Yi patted Zhong Muchen on the shoulder, Zhong Muchen nodded, now that Lin Yi has made too much money, Lin Yi will definitely change to a bigger mansion in the future, and he must plan a trophy showroom for Lin Yi at that time.
These are all honors!
"Is everything done?" Lin Yi said to Xiao Zhongtong's shoes while eating a banana.
Zhong Muchen nodded, "It's all done, now I have signed the list you gave under the name of our economic company according to the boss, after all, boss, your reputation is too high now, and many young players are attracted to it." ”
This is why Lin Yi chose Zhong Muchen to be his agent in the first place, how comfortable is it to become a big-name agent?
And in the past two years with Xiao Zhong, Xiao Zhong has always been loyal, and it is as simple as bringing money to Lin Yi in the future.
You know, huddling is very important, I hug the rookie's thighs with my ability, can it be called huddles?
It is said that Olsen has gone back to school to prepare his graduation thesis in the past few days, but Sakasky and Pippi Mouse stayed, and the two pets got along more and more harmoniously, looking at their thriving career, Lin Yi's eyes suddenly sank.
"Hopefully we can end this series in Boston!"
On the other side of the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Heat and the Bulls fought 1-1, the Heat has found a way to restrain the Bulls, and if the Knicks want to break through the Eastern Conference finals, the Heat is a hurdle they must overcome.
Take more time to rest in order to snowball your advantage.
……
For Boston fans, it was the first time the Celtics had been beaten in recent seasons with a bit of despair, and on May 6, Green fans gathered at the North Shore Garden Arena.
On the court, Rivers made another change to the Celtics' starting lineup tonight.
In the second game, Rivers increased O'Neal Jr.'s playing time, and O'Neal Jr. was embarrassed, so he could still carry it.
In the third game, Rivers patted Kostic on the shoulder expectantly, "Nenaard, you are our last barrier!" See those championship flags fluttering? You're part of the Green Army, now it's time to prove your worth! ”
However...... Kostic really didn't want to hear Rivers.
Because in the limited playing time, Kostic was already playing desperately.
The Knicks are not just Lin Yi alone, they are the whole team, it's like you being swept around with a machine gun, your body armor is still torn, but the commander tells you to complete the task of holding your ground.
Sure enough, Kostic was close to collapse in the first quarter.
The Knicks directly arranged for Lowe to start today, and the start was grabbed, the Celtics didn't have such good physical fitness, they followed the Knicks from the first quarter, and after the first quarter, the away Knicks led 27-22, and the difference was not much, but the veterans of the Green Army were increasing their consumption.
In the second quarter, the energetic Lin Yi then rushed with the substitute, and Kostic, who returned to the bench, seemed to be relieved, but his ass was not hot for 3 minutes, and Rivers' affectionate eyes looked over.
Because O'Neal Jr. has received three fouls in a row......
If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Ao is a professional player with a diligent attitude, Kostic absolutely suspected that Xiao Ao was deliberately correcting himself, so the aggrieved Kostic continued to play.
To say that Kostic does not play with his life, that is impossible.
This is the playoffs, and it's also the Eastern Conference semifinals, not to mention the Eastern Conference finals, how many players can't even make it past a round in their careers?
But when you play, you have to play hard, Kostic works hard, you can even say give it your all, and then ......
Kostic also committed three offenses!
It's really not that tonight's referee's whistle is biased, but that the Knicks have been impacting, impacting, impacting unreasonably, and if you want to ensure defensive intensity, you have to be fierce, and if you are fierce, it is easy to lose control of your actions.
That's where the importance of top rim protectors comes in, they know when to be ruthless and when to be loose, but Kostic can't control it, and Xiao Ao ...... I can't run!
Rivers looked left and right, "Jeff, come on!" ”
Jeff Green, who had been a little stunned since the first game, nodded mechanically, completing every technical move like a marionette.
In the first half of the game, the Knicks led 55-51, and the Celtics really let it go, but looking at Garnett's heavy pace, Lin Yi didn't believe it, these old guys can still survive three quarters?
In fact, the Celtics didn't make it to the full third quarter, as they collapsed a bit in the second half of the third quarter.
Ray Allen's three-pointer didn't work well today, and the basket at the North Shore Garden Arena was extremely unfriendly to reject the gentleman's sword, and the truth ......
The truth is that veterans don't die, they just get tired.
117-96, the Knicks won three games and three times, and the Eastern Conference semifinals led the Celtics 3-0 in the total score!
"The Celtics aren't going to be swept away, are they?"
Knicks fans have been spurred goodbye in the East, and the Celtics have been pushed to the brink of a cliff because there has never been a team in NBA history that has come back from 3-0 down.
In last year's finals, the Hukai battle is still fresh in people's minds, and a year has passed...... The Knicks' young men are really coming for revenge.
