Chapter 307: Mutual Restraint

D'Antoni has won the best coach no matter what he says, and he won't not know that relying on shooting alone, it is easy to be beaten to death in the last quarter!

But what else can they rely on if they don't rely on shooting?

Zhang Yu observed the dribble on the outside, Garnett defended very far outside, and now that the wolf king is old, the defensive range is not as big as when he was young, he can't rely on speed to kill the basket. But Perkins was really hard at that level, the fat man was very calm when defending, he didn't eat feints or shakes, especially when he started very dark, he really played with your fate. His little life is very expensive, and he must not be the other hand with that kind of role player.

That's right, Zhang Yu knew that he was a little wilted when he thought so, but with his current small body, he was going to die, and he didn't want to retire so early. If there is a single Perkins, he still has a way to use his ability to stay in the air and his skills to kill the other party, but if he adds a wolf king, he will not be able to bear it.

The Celtics are two insiders, and he is not afraid of one of them, but the two combined, ask the gorillas how they felt last year, and you will know that his choice is really wise.

D'Antoni didn't have many tactical changes in the midfield, reminding players to pay attention to controlling turnovers, protecting rebounds, strengthening fast-break awareness, and keeping attention on the defensive end.

After three games, D'Antoni basically emptied the dry goods he prepared, and the players were equivalent to the ingredients, and if the ingredients were limited, D'Antoni as a chef could make a limited amount. Stroke of genius, except that the coach must be capable. The players themselves have to be the kind of buried mountain treasures, a combination of rice and eggs, whoever makes it is egg fried rice.

Second half of the game. The Celtics have also not changed on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and the same is true for the Knicks, D'Antoni is now counting on this feather explosion on the offensive end, relying on the individual play of the star to win the game, otherwise he wants to win the opponent unless the big three are all injured.

Not only was the triumvirate not injured, but they rewarded Zhang Yu with a big hat as soon as they came up!

Zhang Yu decided to try inside in the second half. So after escaping Perkins, he was chased by the wolf king.

Garnett's athleticism has declined again, where is the foundation. He remains one of the best defensive interior players in the league.

This is the first time Garnett has blocked Zhang Yu today, if you really want to count it, he seems to have only blocked this rabbit less than three times in four games, and this little bastard is really cunning enough. It's not easy to cover it once. It is worth rejoicing and rejoicing.

"Little rabbit, if you go inside, I'll give you a taste of Patriot missiles today." Garnett finally took advantage of Zhang Yu, and of course he couldn't be idle, and spewed trash talk.

"So you're not dumb, I thought you were too scared to speak out when you saw Howard." Zhang Yu is not afraid of anyone in this regard, and in these games, Warcraft Howard is watching the game live. Of course it's not the front row, and you can't buy a front seat even if you have money. But money was still available for a middle-row seat, and Howard paid four times as much for a ticket to the round.

Zhang Yu's words made it clear that Garnett was ravaged by Howard in the last round, and Garnett rarely received four, five, six, seven or eight big hats in that round, which was basically a good thing done by Howard, and he was purely exposing his shortcomings.

Garnett was indeed choked by him, scolding people to expose shortcomings, and talking trash was naturally even more so.

Zhang Yu's trash talk stimulated Garnett, and the superstar was stimulated and may not be in a state of decline, Kobe Bryant has already given Zhang Yu an example. Garnett, who has slipped from a superstar to an ordinary all-star, is no longer a superstar with an ability value of 99 in terms of strength, but the passive skill is still a superstar's skill, and he suddenly exploded when he was stimulated, and his full ability +5.

A high-level jumper and a mid-range back-to-back jumper, Garnett hit two signature shots in succession, which made Zhang Yu want to slap himself.

"I said, why don't you just scold me and let me explode too?"

Zhang Yu's words were considered by Garnett to be an intensified provocation, so the wolf king's anger became even stronger, and he was about to amplify his moves......

With 7 minutes and 30 seconds left in the third quarter, the score was 55-62, and the Knicks trailed by seven points.

Garnett scored six points in less than five minutes in the third quarter, and his personal count had increased to 16 points, eight rebounds, two assists and two blocks, including a red bunny.

The Knicks had already been stretched to 10 points by the Celtics, and before the last offense, D'Antoni called a timeout, and Zhang Yu came back with a three-point shot to narrow the score to 7 points.

The Celtics are accustomed to staging a wave in the third quarter, and generally strong teams suddenly erupt at some point in the third and fourth quarters, and play a climax to directly cut the opponent down. Zhang Yu's three points made the Knicks breathe a sigh of relief, but the collapse has already appeared, he can't beat the three of them alone after all, Lu Bu is so bullish, isn't he also killed by the two generals and a hind leg?

After Zhang Yu hit this three-pointer, he missed consecutive shots, and his hand began to decline, giving more basketball to his teammates.

At this time, it is not about throwing the pot, but about needing them to share it.

No matter how good the core of a game is, especially in the playoffs, if you can score 40 points, you can complete the task perfectly, and if you get 50+, you have to touch a soft persimmon. The players who can play 50+ in the playoffs are all Hall of Fame superstars without exception. If you want to push it back, you can get 50+ in the division finals and finals, even if the Hall of Fame superstar has only a few times in his entire career, it is really a stake on the other side.

Zhang Yu has 25 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists at the moment, and it is time for other players to help him share the pressure.

Gerrard. Wallace is good at playing hard, and in the third quarter, he became a wonder man, frequently dribbling to the Celtics basket, and he was the only player in the Knicks who could rush to the Green Shirts to cause damage, even Zhang Yu couldn't do that. The Knicks, the second-in-command, relied on his physical qualities and could resist the Celtics' defense under the basket and cause fouls.

New York fans saw Wallace throw himself into the Celtics box again and again, and felt that the last round of the Cavaliers' LeBron . James is unusually similar, and Wallace is like a smaller version of a light tank, with less impact but more agility.

Middleway through the third quarter, Perkins was fouled for the fourth time by Gerrard. Wallace played, and Coach Rivers could only replace the big baby and put Garnett in the center position.

Zhang Yu is working hard, without Perkins, that big baby is far behind, and now he can finally try to break through to the inside. At this time, Crawford thought the same as him, so in the second half of the third quarter, the Knicks' backcourt began to take turns attacking the Celtics restricted area.

Garnett's high and low blocks still allowed the Knicks to narrow the gap more and more.

At the end of the third quarter, the score was 73:77, and the Knicks narrowed the gap to 4 points, which gave the Knicks hope of winning again.

In Madison Square Garden, 20,000 New York fans cheered for the home team!

"Their defense is like cheese, break them down with your offense, we don't just have defense, we have the best offense in the league. As long as we win this game, we will be 3-1 up and we will be able to clean them up completely in the next game. But once it's 2:2, things change, and we can't give them a chance. ”

Coach Rivers is no longer a gentleman, he wants to show the players his determination, and this game must be won!

In the fourth quarter, Coach Rivers sent Rajan. The combination of Rondo, Tony Allen, Pierce, Big Baby, Perkins, and the Celtics' three starters are all on the court, this configuration has offense and defense, and the depth of the Green Shirts' lineup once again makes New York fans tremble!

In the past, they were not so worried in the bench period, the second echelon was the key to their victory, but now this key has become a weapon in the control of the opposite side, and they have not had the upper hand in the bench period in the previous three games.

Big Baby went on a rampage again in the time he didn't have Garnett, twice causing Kenyon under the basket. Martin and Birdman Anderson fouled, this bastard is like a meat ball, it's disgusting!

Kenyon. Martin made four fouls in the fourth quarter, D'Antonio had to replace Jeffries, David Lee played the third quarter and had to be given a break.

Jeffries' defensive ability is far inferior to the Knicks' normal rotation of three, but this time he played an unexpected effect, once again proving the saying that people have a mutual restraint. Big Baby has been helpless for D'Antoni in these four games, and their three interior players are also at a loss, but they didn't expect Jeffries to clean up today.

The Knicks' method is very simple, he turns over and over with that trick and makes a foul!

It's just this very simple, the defensive skills that all the interior players in the league can have, and they actually made Davis bloody!

The impact of the big baby is strong, the Knicks can't withstand the three insiders, but the hard ones can't be soft with him, Jeffries has two attacks in advance to predict the position, waiting for the moment when the big baby hits up, and immediately performs a good show to the referee!

Kenyon Martin, David Lee, and Birdman Anderson saw that Big Baby was fouled twice in a row by Jeffries, and after being replaced by Rivers, their hearts were both happy and painful! It's not that they can't make fouls, but Jeffries adds all the skill points to this skill, and there are few people in the league who can compare, and they can't compare.

D'Antoni secretly thought in his heart: "After Jeffries's contract expires, it would be good to sign a veteran base salary contract, this trick is still a very useful skill in a specific location, and on the offensive end, in fact, he still has the ability to shoot, and it is no problem to keep a water cooler."
