In the third game, the finals of the East and West had different endings. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The Knicks and Lakers, who were originally leading 2-0, were pulled back by each other, making the direction of the game a little confusing.
"As you can see, as long as you relax, the game doesn't go at our pace."
"It's the Eastern Conference Finals now, and our opponents have gone through all kinds of big battles to get here, so we're going to go further, so we have to do better."
To be honest, the strength of the last game lies in the fact that the inside line was suppressed by the opponent, Randolph did not feel good, and the rebounds did not grab the opponent, which was a big disadvantage at the critical moment.
But Lehi was not able to turn the tide, so only the players on the field did better to ensure the victory of the game.
Especially at the opponent's home stadium, they can't afford to leave anything to chance.
In the fourth game, both sides are full of energy, at this time, it depends on the hard power, and if the hard power is to be played, many times it depends on who can play on both sides.
In the opening game, Garnett let Perkins score on an inside pass and made full use of his strengths.
But Lehi immediately returned the color and hit a quick shot under the cover of his teammates.
The start was all about the level, and then it was time to show the details.
The Knicks' defense went straight to the highest intensity, especially Lehi's restriction on Pierce, so that Pierce almost didn't even have a chance to shoot.
And the Celtics' current tactics are also based on Garnett, and Pierce has to pinch his nose and admit it when he is full of grievances, who let the first two games with him as the tactical core lose.
Intellectually yes, it would be wise to avoid Lehi, but in this way, Pierce is almost useless, and he doesn't threaten with the ball as much as Ray Allen.
For Garnett to increase his strategy, many times it depends on the shooting percentage of the Celtics, and it is also a test of the Knicks' defense, and there can be no carelessness.
In the first quarter, the Knicks trailed by 2 points at 23:25.
The current style of play of the Celtics, coupled with their defense, is still working well.
In the rotation, the Knicks dominated and turned the score around, but the Celtics were not in a hurry, and the last game they won was at that pace.
Then Garnett, who was rested, came on the court and suddenly began to be tough, and Randolph quickly got two fouls early.
It looked even worse than the last game, and the Knicks made adjustments to let Gortat go up to maintain the height of the interior and try to drain Garnett's stamina.
In terms of scoring, it is mainly an outside task, which is also an attempt, the Knicks' scoring ability on the outside is there, don't look at this season they will often let the inside play, but at critical moments, it must be the outside to attack.
"It's Lehi and Marbury's blockade again, and the coordination between them is too threatening."
"Marbury hit a three-pointer, and the Knicks chased the score again, and the score was so intense."
"Lehi's speed is so fast that Perkins can only choose to foul, but a foul on Lehi is no different from giving away points."
At half-time, the score was 50:50.
In the face of a single star's scoring, the Knicks' defense is more handy.
The Celtics also know, but they can't help it, Garnett can continue to respond, and their role players can have a chance, but the shooting percentage is not guaranteed.
As long as the team's score is not pulled down, and then the core players have no physical problems at the last moment, they have a chance to win the Knicks, after all, Garnett's level is still a little different on the inside.
But it can only be so, against the Knicks, it is good to be able to do this level.
It's just that the Knicks know that after the Celtics changed the core of their tactics, their defense against Garnett was not tight, Garnett was able to score, but his consumption was also huge, the so-called age is not forgiving, and Garnett is not a young man anymore.
Garnett's efficiency was significantly reduced in the third quarter, and Pierce and Ray Allen still didn't have many chances, but Rondo had a chance, but he couldn't shoot.
By this time, the Knicks had gradually taken control of the situation.
The Celtics were also in a hurry, but they also reached the limit and couldn't come up with any new tricks.
In the fourth quarter, Crawford hit a few shots in the opening game, and the Knicks' lead went straight to double digits, and the Celtics had no choice but to change their tactics and move the point of attack to the outside.
The first is that Garnett's physical strength has decreased after being taken care of by the Knicks players in turn, and the second is that it is impossible to chase points by letting Garnett play, if they are ahead, it will be completely different, but unfortunately it is the Knicks who are leading now.
They did a lot of preparation to keep their feet down with the core when they were resting, but the fact was that it turned out that the team defense wasn't that big in front of some players.
"Pierce fouled, he was full of grievances and asked the referee to theorize, but the verdict would not change, and in front of Lehi's efficient performance, Pierce was a little confused."
"2+1, this is the third time that Lehi has hit three points in this game...... With a free throw shot, the Knicks led by 10 points, and with only three minutes left in the game, the Celtics were dangerous again. ”
With Pierce and Ray Allen missing three-pointers, the game was out of suspense, and at 105:94, the Knicks won the match point strongly.
Lehi's 36 points and four steals were a strong display of victory.
Returning home with a score of 3:1, the Knicks played an absolutely strong team.
In Game 5, the Celtics will definitely fight hard, while the Knicks can't afford to lose.
At the beginning of Game 5, the Celtics finally played a threatening enough performance from the outside, mainly Ray Allen's three-point accuracy, and even Pierce hit a three-pointer.
It can be seen that the Celtics really want to find a way to deal with the Knicks, and after the previous attempt failed, that is, the three points can be expected.
But from the second quarter onwards, the rhythm went to the Knicks' side again.
No matter how the tactics change, strength is strength, the Knicks always forced the shooting opportunity into the hands of Rondo, and Rondo made two attempts to make three points that were ridiculously off, and he could only ignore the vacancy and drop the ball inside.
In the third quarter, the Knicks broke out and took the lead to 20 points, and the Celtics could no longer support it, and the huge pressure made them lose the confidence to chase points.
In the final quarter, the Knicks held the rhythm steadily, and finally won the opponent 101-89.
They have reached the top of the East for the third year in a row, but they are not going to stop and they are going to climb to the top again and become the dynasty team of the new century.
The championship, they are determined to win.
