D'Antoni's halftime racking his brains to come up with the key to victory was calmly cracked by Coach Rivers in less than two minutes. Rondo averaged 5.5 rebounds per game, more than Zhang Yu's.

The frontcourt rebounds can't find a place to make a fuss, D'Antoni waved his hand, and simply didn't engage in these conspiracies with them, let's fight with them openly!

The Celtics players followed the tactics laid out by Coach Rivers before the game, and the defense selectively let go of Gerrard. Wallace and a year old rookie Ty. Lawson.

So far, Gerald. Wallace and Tate. Lawson mainly relies on breakouts on the offensive end, and their shooting is not stable enough, especially the Knicks' three-in-command, whose shooting ability is better than LeBron's. James is still bad.

Although Garnett is the most affected by age among the Big Three, Garnett still has an irreplaceable role in the defense of the Green Army, and the Wolf King's defense level is still the top in the league, and the influence of driving the team's defense with his own strength is immeasurable. Fans with a little more seniority should remember that in 07, the Big Three of the Green Shirts were together, and not many people were actually optimistic about their defense at the beginning.

Pierce was underrated, and Ray Allen was not known for his defense, and as a result, Garnett defended with a re-rolled trouser and entrenched himself in the top of the East by digging into the fence.

Coach Rivers knows that if Garnett is still allowed to play both offense and defense now, then the result must be that he can't hold both hands tightly. The solution is simple, Garnett used to have a slightly heavier offensive burden on the Celtics, and in the second half today, Rivers decided to free Garnett on the offensive end. Let the Wolf King devote all his energy to the defensive end.

Pierce reversed the second half when he and Ray were the opposite. Allen has devoted all his energy to the attacking end.

Pierce used his mid-range ball-handling shooting ability in the second half, coupled with his top-notch back-to-back singles among small forwards. Jean Gerald. Wallace had already picked up his third foul in less than half of the third quarter.

The Celtics fans in the North Shore Garden shouted the name of truth in unison!

Pierce has averaged less than 20 points per game this season, but he has scored 22 points just over the halfway point of the third quarter today.

D'Antoni could only call a timeout to deal with the Celtic attack.

With a score of 60:64, the Knicks are already trailing by four points.

Although the mustache called a timeout, he did not make any specific arrangements and did not tell his players how to deal with the Celtics' offense. It seems that his pause is to call a timeout for the sake of calling a timeout.

In the third quarter, Yao Ming hit two more shots in the low post. According to D'Antoni's rotation, this is the time to put . Tylawson and Yao Ming swapped. In fact, it is also true, D'Antoni's timeout has no other arrangements except substitutions.

The game resumes. The Celtics took advantage of the timeout to set up on the defensive end.

The Green Shirts suddenly started a joint defense on the field. Just like last season's pressing defense, the Celtics' combined defense has expanded outward.

Knicks came out after a timeout: Chris. Du Hong,Zhang Yu,Carl. Landry, Kenyon. Martin, Channing. Fry.

In this lineup, in addition to Zhang Yu and Kenyon. Martin had already seen the Celtics' combined defense last season, and the other three had no experience with the Celtics.

Chris. Dujon is under the Celtics' defense. As soon as he came on the pitch, he contributed a passing error. Dujon was with the Knicks last season, but D'Antoni didn't use him much in the playoffs. He spent the entire playoffs guarding the water cooler.

D'Antoni vs. Chris. Du Hong was very dissatisfied with this mistake and yelled at Du Hong on the sidelines to make him concentrate.

Zhang Yu hurriedly took over the task of the team's main control, this season, the little rabbit's passing and control skills continue to improve, coupled with the shooting technology without dead ends, so that he can be almost insoluble in one-on-one.

This season, in the face of the Celtics' joint defense, Zhang Yu first tried his shooting touch, but he hit two high-post jumpers after the block, which made the Celtics players' defensive pace seem to slow down a bit.

After Zhang Yu hit two shots in a row, the Celtics tilted the defense towards the bunny, and Zhang Yu immediately distributed the ball to the outside. Frye's three-pointer from the top of the arc turned the score back into a tie.

Rivers was unmoved, the Knicks had a big flaw in this lineup, Landry at the third position had no three-point ability, and Kenyon at the fourth position. Martin has no mid-range ability, and only Zhang Yu has the ability to attack with the ball in the remaining three, and their defensive focus is precisely Zhang Yu, followed by Frye and Duhon, and the remaining two can continue to use the midfield setup and choose to let them go.

Zhang Yu could feel the increasing pressure on him from the Celtics' defense, and he missed his third shot.

The Celtics turned back, and Ray. Aaron with the help of Kevin. Garnett's off-ball screen, receiving a basketball on the wing, hit a mid-range shot to put the score out of the way.

The Knicks' offense began to be suppressed, in fact, in this lineup, D'Antoni's main focus is Zhang Yu, and only the little rabbit has enough ability to break the defense in the five, but he is now in the same trouble as last season, and he is unable to support himself!

Zhang Yu doesn't even have Wallace's help now, at least there were three guns on the outside last season, they can still fight if they feel good, and now he is alone, then he is still playing a fart!

Charles. Barkley showed no mercy and opened his mouth to criticize D'Antoni's arrangement: "Now that the Celtics are obviously fighting back, replacing Yao Ming, the Celtics' three-two defense can naturally be cracked, as long as the Knicks are connected inside and outside, few people in the league can defeat them." ”

D'Antoni was still struggling with his rotation at this time, holding it up for another minute, and waited until the Celtics widened the gap to 5 points, then called a timeout for substitutions.

At 4:40 in the third quarter, the score was 70:75, and the Knicks trailed the Celtics by 5 points.

Zhang Yu got 21 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals, Yao Ming got 16 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks. Wallace had 12 points, seven rebounds and three assists.

Garnett had 10 points and eight rebounds, and Pierce had 22 points, five rebounds and two assists. Ray Allen had 19 points and Rondo had eight points and nine assists.

Today, both teams started well, and the Knicks triumvirate played well. The only one who looks like he is average on the offensive end. Wallace, his number jù is not bad, and he has contributed the most on the defensive end, and it is already rare to have such a number jù, and the Knicks have to spend most of their energy on dealing with Paul. Pierce.

The game restarted, the Knicks finally replaced Yao Ming, and the lineup on the court became: Chris. Du Hong, Zhang Yu, Carl. Landry, Channing. Fry, Yao Ming.

New York fans in front of the TV. I think that replacing Yao Ming should be able to break the Celtics' joint defense, and now they continue to concentrate their defensive forces on the outside, and Yao Ming's singles on the inside are enough to take out Rashid. Wallace.

The Celtics fielded a double-high lineup: Rajan. Rondo, Tony. Aaron, Paul. Pierce, Kevin. Garnett, Rashid. Wallace.

Zhang Yu receives the ball on the sideline. The Knicks continued to possess the ball with him, and Dujon pulled to the far end to ambush.

The Celtics' defensive intensity suddenly dropped, and Zhang Yu broke through and knew immediately. The Green Shirts no longer use joint defense. It's people staring at people.

Zhang Yu's breakthrough layup brushed out of the basket under the interference of Garnett and Roaring Tianzun, two long men over 210cm, Yao Ming did not grab the rebound, Rashid. Wallace grabbed the rebound, and the Celtics managed to defend the Knicks one more time.

Rivers clasped his hands to his chest on the sidelines and glanced at the frowning D'Antoni opposite, his purpose was to force D'Antoni to replace Yao Ming, as long as Yao Ming stayed on the court for the second half of the final quarter. Thinking that the little giant's body should be insufficient, and then their internal and external connections will be left alone.

But the idea is good. But there are still a lot of problems here, such as Gerald. Wallace, the third Knicks leader, is a guy who has the ability to disrupt the game, but fortunately, Pierce beat him down; The second is whether they can withstand the impact of Zhang Yu and Yao Ming, if they are behind by double digits in the third quarter, they will kneel first before the little giant's body is exhausted.

Rivers last timeout, and the new order to the team is: Strengthen the defense! Relying on the defense they relied on to survive, they held on to the five-point lead and waited for an opportunity to counterattack in the second half of the fourth quarter. Until then, they're tasked with dragging the Knicks and their little giants to death, especially the latter.

In the final minutes of the third quarter, the Celtics switched to a defensive lineup in an effort to hold on to the lead. At the same time, Pierce strengthened his singles, Rondo increased his breakaways, and on the offensive end, he relied on the individual play of these two to score points, and the two interior longs took advantage of their height and arm length to compete for frontcourt rebounds when their teammates missed shots.

This arrangement is somewhat similar to D'Antoni's halftime arrangement, and I wonder if Rivers will learn D'Antoni's offensive setup to deal with the Knicks like he did in the playoffs last season.

D'Antoni thinks it must be like this, because the scramble for rebounds he arranged didn't work, but the Celtics did, and it was a reason that New York fans found unacceptable, that damn Rajan. In the last few minutes of the third quarter, Rondo actually grabbed two frontcourt rebounds in succession, one of which was grabbed on Zhang Yu's head, which made the red rabbit's face extremely unkind. Rajan. Rondo has already grabbed at least three rebounds on his head today, including frontcourt rebounds and backcourt rebounds, which is unbearable!

At the end of the third quarter, with a score of 76:82, the Knicks not only did not rely on the Chinese team to catch up with the score, but were pulled away by the Celtics by one point.

Zhang Yu got 25 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals, Yao Ming got 18 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks. Wallace had 12 points, seven rebounds and three assists.

Garnett had 10 points and 8 rebounds, Pierce had 26 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists. Allen had 19 points and Rondo had 10 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds.

Celtics fans see Rajan. Rondo's number jù immediately resounded with a thunderous cheer, their Big Four has already won a triple-double this season, and it looks like another triple-double feat will be completed in today's game, and if the final match is also won, it will be a great joy for all!

Zhang Yu is angry, several of this guy's rebounds should be his, he should have won a triple-double! (To be continued......)
