Chapter 350: Grabbing the Rebound

The Knicks are more defensive-leaning on this lineup, Kenyon. Martin and Birdman Anderson move very quickly, and the Knicks no longer have a flaw in pick-and-roll, but a new problem is coming, their lineup has a flaw in the low post defense, and they can't defend themselves with a strong interior with low post ability, such as Kevin. Garnett.

Moreover, the offensive ability of this lineup is insufficient, and it can only rely on Zhang Yu's projection in the middle distance and outside and Gerrard. Wallace's dribble attack.

The Knicks seem to be back to the way they played last season, with Zhang Yu first blocking and dismantling with his teammates and then attacking inside, and once he encounters an obstacle, the bunny will give the blue ball to Gerrard. Wallace, let their three masters continue to attack the Celtics' basket on the wing or on the baseline, the routine is simple, and the style of play is monotonous.

Gerrard. Wallace has had a good season with his break-through on the flank, or rather the Celtics' interior defense has declined, so much so that Zhang Yu and Gerrard have been able to do so. Wallace's onslaught actually made the Green Shirts' defense start to falter.

In the fourth minute and 20 seconds, Zhang Yu broke through with a European step, flashed past the two Celtics defenders, and made a foul on Paris on the inside, and the basketball was thrown by the rabbit at the end, hitting the rebound and rebounding accurately into the basket.

2 plus 1 hit, Zhang Yu staged a wonderful one-over three-person performance.

Zhang Yu and Gerald. Wallace's breakthrough styles were very different, and the Green Shirts were overwhelmed by two different styles in a row, and Zhang Yu completed a wonderful performance that could enter the top 10 of the month.

The score was 46:44, and the tables of the first half of the two teams were evenly divided today. So far, it has not opened the score, and has been alternating leads.

D'Antoni glanced at the time and felt that it was almost over. Again will Thai. Lawson and Yao Ming came on the pitch.

The majority of New York fans looked at the time, and said in their hearts that it was almost over, and the rotation of our coach was a good guess!

I don't know if the mustache remembered the power of Yao Ming's low-post singles again, in short, after the lineup was adjusted this time, D'Antoni's order was: play the low post.

The New York player secretly thought in his heart: "Isn't playing a single low position just to play Yao Ming?" When does a coach like to talk only half of it? ”

Zhang Yu and Wallace were stunned for a few minutes, and they happened to be a little tired, and it was not bad to watch Yao Ming play a dozen in it at this time. Just enough to be lazy.

Yao Ming's offense in the low post is boring for other players, because you barely have to do anything, just stand and wait for Yao Ming to score or pass the ball himself.

Zhang Yu was standing on the wing to the outside of the three-point line at the moment. Watching Yao Ming single Perkins in the low post.

Garnett stepped forward to help defend, and Yao Ming was already familiar with his teammates in the Knicks, and immediately passed the basketball to Kenyon. Martin hand. The old champion glanced at the basket and took a step forward. He actually used a throwing board to send the basketball into the basket

Kenyon. Martin looked excited after the goal. I don't know what I'm shouting at Celtics fans when I take off my braces? Anyway, Zhang Yu, who was not far from him, didn't understand a word......

Yao Ming also has more assists today than last year, as the so-called three gangs of heroes, NBA stars like to huddle just to find this kind of playing feeling, no one likes to fight alone.

The Celtics turned back, Pierce singled on the wing, turned and broke through to attract the Knicks' interior defense.

Garnett received a split at the free throw line, and Zhang Yu had to rush over to make up for it.

Thunder. Allen's bizarre run was covered by the Celtics and ran for an open shot. Garnett's basketball arrived at the right time, and Ray Ray. Allen raised his hand and hit a three-point shot.

Very few teams can shoot three-pointers with a shooting percentage of 40 percent or less. Lai and Yao Ming formed a stalemate with nearly 60% of the low-post singles, but Ray . Allen did that today, hitting three three-pointers in the final half of the first half and scoring three goals in just four shots.

TD North Shore Gardens at Ray. Allen hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer in midfield before falling back into a boil.

People on the outside say that their Big Three are old, and the Celtics are no longer eligible to compete for a championship, but Green Shirts fans don't believe this kind of statement, and what about the Knicks, as long as their Big Three play well, there is no team in this league that they can't beat.

The score is 53:55, Ray. Allen's buzzer-beating three-pointer gave the Celtics the comeback.

Zhang Yu found this game interesting, last season and this season's preseason, he and Lei. Allen didn't play like it is today, and the Celtics were playing for Ray this season. Aaron arranged a lot of positioning cover, so that his follow-up defense did not have the previous effect, Ray. Allen had already hit four three-pointers in the first half and shot four of six.

At the end of the first half, Zhang Yu got 15 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals, Yao Ming got 12 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks. Wallace had 10 points, five rebounds and two assists.

For the Celtics, Garnett had 8 points and 5 rebounds, Pierce had 14 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. Allen had 14 points and Rondo had six points and six assists.

At halftime, in the Knicks' cramped away locker room, D'Antoni asked his team to strengthen the competition for frontcourt rebounds in the second half.

Americans don't have this idiom, but they think that Yao Ming's height is really unreasonable if he can't grab more than ten rebounds every night. As for scrambling for rebounds in the frontcourt, will it delay the Knicks' retreat, this is a blind worry, the three old guys of the Celtics launched a limited threat of fast attack, plus a Perkins who has a fight with Yao Ming's speed, the entire Celtics have counted the numbers, and there is only one Rajan. Rondo can play a dozen fast breaks, but it's just one person, and if the Knicks can't defend it, they should play the CBA.

In the second half, the Knicks used Kenyon. Martin and Yao Ming are partners, and the height of the old champion is not as good as Qian Ning. Frye, but he's undoubtedly better at rebounding than Channing. Frye is two levels higher, with these two interior players, plus Radward. With Ras in the No. 3 position, who averages more than 7 rebounds per game, the Knicks' frontcourt rebounding ability is definitely among the best in the league.

In the Celtics' locker room, Rivers doesn't have too many methods, and it is undoubtedly a good way to use blocking and pick-and-roll against Yao Ming, but the Knicks are not the only Yao Ming, Zhang Yu and Gerrard. Wallace's defensive prowess has discounted this strategy by at least half, that is...... TMD doesn't work!

They also tried to make fouls, Yao Ming only got one foul in the first half, and today's referee was not particularly biased towards them, and even in the eyes of Rivers, the referee's decision was too fair, and basically did not blow any home whistle. Not blowing the home whistle at home is itself biased in favour of the away team, and the league is clearly making amends for the last game.

The Celtics are now suffering the same embarrassment as the Knicks last season, and they are now leading the way, all thanks to Ray. Allen's three-pointer. It's no different from last season, when the Knicks won the game entirely on their perimeter, and the three-pointers alone could only win a moment, not the entire game, which the Knicks showed last season, and they don't have to show it again.

"In the second half, you look at my gestures, we used the joint defence for a certain period of time, and the main target was the partner of the Chinese team, Steven Gerrard. Wallace and their rookie point guard can let go appropriately, put the three-point line to the two of them, and focus on that rabbit and Yao Ming. ”

Rivers thought about it, if he didn't make some trade-offs on the defensive end, or make some gambling arrangements, he could only end up losing all the games. Thinking about it, let go of Gerrard, who was unstable in his three-point ability. Wallace, and that rookie, if they can rely on the joint defense to play an attack wave, may not be able to take the Knicks in waves

At the start of the second half, the Celtics' combined defense was not immediately used, and Rivers needed to find a suitable opportunity to deliver a lethal shot.

The Knicks' players followed D'Antoni's orders as soon as they came up, and they didn't need to look at the timing to grab the frontcourt rebounds, and they could fight every time they attacked.

Wallace opened the second half with a mid-range shot that missed a mid-range shot, and Celtics fans saw at a glance that Yao Ming and Kenyon were the first to miss out. Martin rushed to the basket for the first time, and in addition, the rabbit actually rushed to the restricted area!

The Knicks' two interior players plus one guard are competing with the Celtics' two interior players......

The Green Shirts clearly did not respond to the Knicks' scramble for rebounds, first of all, they had already fallen behind in terms of numbers, 3-2.

The Knicks had one more person to scramble for the frontcourt rebound, and this extra person decided the ownership of the rebound, Yao Ming entangled Perkins, Kenyon. Martin seemed to be wrestling with Garnett, Zhang Yu was unguarded and picked up a head, the little rabbit caught the basketball with both hands in the air, did not wait for the landing to deal with it, and had already thrown the basketball back to the basket in the air and re-inserted the basket.

The fans of the red rabbit are raising their arms and shouting in front of the TV at the moment, Zhang Yu not only brushed a frontcourt rebound this time, he also brushed two points, and the party also smiled after landing, this proud face fell in the eyes of Celtics fans, in addition to hating, or hating!

Coach Rivers shouted loudly from the sidelines, telling his players to protect their backcourt rebounds.

The Knicks rushed for rebounds with three people, and even Celtics fans knew at the moment that these New Yorkers were trying to make a fuss about rebounding.

Coach Rivers didn't dare to let his team use quick counterattacks to crack the opponent's frontcourt rebounding scramble, so he still used a more secure method to increase the manpower.

D'Antoni soon found that his tactics didn't work long after, and the Celtics made only one change, and that was to make Rajan. Rondo came to participate in the defense of the rebound, and their red rabbit couldn't grab a point guard who was only 185cm tall! (To be continued......)
