After losing to the Cleveland Cavaliers at home, the Knicks once again proved with their experience what it means to have a house leak that happened to rain overnight.

Because on the day of the 6th, the Knicks will have to face off against the Celtics, who are the first in the East. Although it is also at home, the Knicks without Chen Jiyuan will become difficult to play. Especially when the Celtics' defensive system is very good, Starkey may be limited very well, because just like knowing the Celtics' defensive system and the Celtics Big Three from Thibodeau, Doug Rivers, as a super famous head coach, naturally knows Tom Thibodeau very well. Especially what Tom Thibodeau did on the defensive end, Doug Rivers knows too well. Thibodeau's preferences, Thibodeau's habits, Doug Rivers has all figured it out. So, the Knicks are going to have a tough fight.

The current Celtics have a full squad and strong strength, and they are an opponent that no team will like. But whether you like it or not, since it is already in store, then, you have to beat him. Otherwise, how to move forward, how to progress.

In the game with the Celtics, just when everyone thought that the Knicks without Chen Jiyuan would be defeated, the fans realized that they had made a mistake. Not only did they not get defeated, but the Knicks were able to force the Celtics into overtime.

At the start of the first quarter of the game, Sessions showed good form today. Sessions scored seven points on 3-of-4 shooting in the first quarter. He also provided three assists.

Today, Starkey was limited by the Celtic defense.

In order to deal with Starkey's breakthrough, the Celtics also made a way to deal with it, because Ray Allen is an old man after all, although he is not very old, but he is no longer the young guy who runs around the ground at the age of twenty-four or five. And although Ray Allen is not a defensive giant, but Ray Allen's defense is at least not lagging behind, however, Starkey's breakthrough is more sharp, the previous games of scoring, Starkey's scoring ability has begun to show, people have to focus on strengthening Starkey's defense.

Here with the Knicks, only the strong can get on the table, which is why Starkey has such a sense of urgency. If Starkey wasn't strong enough, he wouldn't have replaced Crawford as the starter and wouldn't have taken up most of his playing time in the No.2 position. It is because of the Knicks' good competitive environment that many rookies on the team can play better than the original, which is something that Chen Jiyuan never thought of before, but there are also accidents, such as Wilson Chandler. This child's performance broke the hearts of Chen Jiyuan and the management of the Knicks, if it weren't for this guy's powerlessness, the Knicks would not have been eliminated so cleanly by the Cavaliers. It is precisely because of the depravity of this childish paper that the Knicks have no talent to use at the small forward position. This led to James's undisciplined rampage. That's what makes the Knicks defenseless against the Cavaliers. can only rely on Chen Jiyuan's attack to struggle. Why did this restructuring degenerate? Chen Jiyuan has never figured out this question.

Compared with Starkey in his previous life, Starkey's biggest improvement is his breakthrough ability, because of his relationship with Crawford as an opponent, Starkey is naturally bent on how to beat Crawford, and then win the heart of the manager. Defense is an indispensable knock on the door, this Stakey is understood, so Starki also exercised his own defense, in the previous life, Starkey was in the Pistons, and he was favored by everyone when he entered the Pistons, and he was raised by the management of the Pistons as a baby, who dares to accuse Starkey of any defensive problems or something. But it's different here, there is only one privileged messenger here, and that is Chen Jiyuan, Chen Jiyuan's survival zài, stubbornly suppressed the possibility of Starkey becoming the boss, and the self-aware Starki also knew that he wanted to snatch the position of leader with Chen Jiyuan, then it was simply death, so it was a serious thing to become the starter first.

So working on defense and strengthening one's offensive ability is what Starkey has to do, and that's exactly what Starkey does. Only by improving one's own strength first can it be possible to snatch the boss.

In the game against the Celtics, the Celtics' defense against Starkey was still very successful. Starkey played very hard throughout the game, not only did he receive very strict interference from the outside, but after he got to the inside, Garnett's supplementary defense was also Starkey's nightmare. Garnett's reach is very good, and his awareness of supplementing defense is also super first-class, and there is no good chance for Starkey at all. Although Perkins is not a good defender, Garnett can be considered the best defender in the league. So Starkey received very strict restrictions throughout the game, however, such restrictions also came at a price.

Although the Celtics did succeed in limiting Starkey, they did not expect Sessions to be so strong in this game.

Sessions shot 5-of-7 three-pointers in regular season time and helped the Knicks drag the game to overtime.

With the final 1.5 seconds left in the regular season, Sessions received the ball from beyond the three-point line and hit a three-pointer with a drift straight away. Sessions knew he was a bit blinded with his ball. However, it doesn't matter what you say, it doesn't matter what, anyway, after scoring this goal, the Knicks successfully dragged the game to overtime.

And at this time, the Celtic triumvirate is a little tired. This is the perfect time for the Knicks to turn the tables around. You know, the Celtics Big Three are much older than the Knicks players, and although these ages can be converted into experience in certain occasions, they can be converted into trouble in other occasions. For example, this occasion. The older Celtic triumvirate is already in crisis.

So, in the process of overtime, Doug Rivers was very bold to put the Celtics Big Three off the court and rest for a short time. It wasn't long, that is, a break of about a minute and a half, and in this minute and a half time it would have been the Knicks' best chance to turn the tables, but the Knicks players did it, and in this minute and a half time, the Celtics players just watched the time slip away little by little. The difference didn't widen at all. As a result, after the Celtics Big Three came on the court, the Celtics quickly opened the score and finally successfully defeated the Knicks.

The full-time score was 109:105.

The Knicks were once so close to victory, but unfortunately they didn't take the chance. One can only watch as Celtic manage to achieve this victory on their home turf. At the same time, he also allowed himself to make two consecutive defeats at his home stadium.

Sessions scored 38 points, a career-high score. He also dished out 12 assists and grabbed seven rebounds. The Knicks were able to survive to the end because of Sessions' outburst.

Starkey played very badly today, being limited by the Celtics very well, only scoring 15 points, while shooting a miserable 5-of-15 shooting.

Another player who broke out on the Knicks was Stephen Jackson, Stephen Jackson was sluggish in the last game, and Stephen Jackson quickly regained his touch in this game, 3-of-5 three-pointers, 10-of-17 from the field, and scored 28 points.

Lefou's game table can only be said to be decent, and now Lefou's own offensive ability is not so strong, and there is absolutely nothing to say in addition to the Celtics' defense, so Lefu only scored 9 points, but Lefu grabbed 16 rebounds. The number of rebounds was the highest in the game.

The Celtics' side scored relatively evenly. Pierce had 26 points, Ray Allen 22 and Garnett 23, along with Garnett also had 11 rebounds. And today Rajon Rondo's table Xiàn was also very good, with 12 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists.

Sessions and Rondo both had a quasi-triple-double. However, Sessions' scoring ability is much stronger than Rondo's, but Rondo's big-picture vision and passing awareness are stronger than Sessions. Sessions still has a long way to go if he wants to develop into a good player, and Rondo is the same.

After losing to the Celtics, the Knicks' record has further regressed, but the East is good, and it is not possible to change their ranking in one or two games. For example, now, the Knicks have lost two in a row. However, it is still fourth in the East and has not regressed. In the east, the competition is not as severe as in the west. In the West, as long as it is a win or loss, there may be a shock in the rankings, that is because the top eight records in the West are about the same, so it is easy to change, but on the East side, the gap between the top four and the bottom four is obvious, the Boston Celtics, New York Knicks, Orlando Magic, and Cleveland Cavaliers The four teams obviously form a first-class team in the East. As for who the bottom four are, it doesn't matter, because in recent years, there are not many chances of the following grams appearing in the east, and it can even be said that it is very rare compared to the west.

So in the east of this back. Under the scenes, the Knicks still maintain the fourth position in the East.

In the next game against the Trail Blazers, the Trail Blazers are now also a team with 30 wins, and the strength is not weak, and Chen Jiyuan is still bargaining with the team's management. Chen Jiyuan is eager to play, but the resistance is very great. As a result, Chen Jiyuan could only start bargaining with tears in his eyes.
