Chapter 308: The Last Resort
Knicks 4th quarter lineup off the bench: Nate Robinson, Crawford, Wallace, Jeffries, Birdman Anderson.
D'Antoni's lineup is also offensive and defensive, and in terms of personal ability, they are no worse than the opponent, but when it comes to personal tactical literacy and defensive ability, the Knicks' lineup has great flaws.
The Celtics made a strong offensive end, and more precisely, Pierce turned on his own single mode, and the Knicks' defensive titan Wallace began to be unable to parry.
Pierce is still in 2K9 and still has 90 stats. Wallace's 85 is a lot stronger, and the two are one level apart. Although reality can't be replaced by virtual values in the game, but the difference is so much, it still shows that there is indeed a gap between the two in terms of ability.
The team's low-post back-to-back ability becomes more proficient as they get older, and all NBA stars have to hone their back-to-back skills after the age of 30, and even after the age of 28, to increase the lethality of the low-post and mid-range back. If you can't practice this offensive skill, you can say goodbye to the big contract when your physical fitness declines and your athleticism declines.
Wallace can defend ninety percent of the same players in the same position except for James on the front, but once he has his back, many stars who are good at back-to-back, such as Pierce, can only look at the opponent's hand.
At 7:40 in the fourth quarter, the score was 79:87, and the Knicks trailed by 8 points.
Pierce flanked with a back-to-back shot, Wallace bent down and met it with a lunge, and the former suddenly turned around and quickly hit the basket to force a layup, causing Birdman Anderson to foul for the fourth time. Two plus one!
D'Antoni shook his head, and if the Big Three made a move, they would have to drink a pot. Garnett and Pierce both played well today, and it was up to Ray Allen to go crazy and kill them completely.
For the Celtics, Garnett had 19 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks, Pierce 21 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, Ray Allen 12 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists. Rondo had 9 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals, and the Celtics Big Four really deserved their reputation. They didn't even have any of them.
Charles. Barkley shook his head: "Paul. Pierce, nicknamed Truth, has repeatedly re-emerged at critical moments. He can go to the basket and shoot three-pointers, make fouls inside, and can do almost anything on offense. ”
Kenny. Smith laughed, "You summed up all the characteristics of him, and the older he gets, the better."
Charles. Barkley said in an envious tone, "Of course, he found more helpers. But he's still a good athlete. No matter how far or near the basket you are, you have enough scoring ability. ”
D'Antoni knew very well that after this timeout, the opposite side would definitely have a full main lineup, and Rivers would no longer have any scruples about his body, and winning this game was much more important than saving that little bit of body.
"Shoot fast break when you have a chance, shoot threes when you have a chance, shoot a basketball when you have a chance......"
Zhang Yu understood the mustache's plan, this is the rhythm of luck, and it is about to be ruined.
D'Antoni's above words can be summed up in four words: blind dick casting!
This style of play. Zhang Yu doesn't know if it's right or wrong, but they don't throw dicks blindly. If you really stabilize and fight with the Celtics in one move, eighty percent can't fight others. On the contrary, he threw it so nonsense, if it felt good, he might be able to kill the other side!
The game restarted, and the Knicks lineup, in addition to the center, has become the starting lineup: Zhang Yu, Crawford, Wallace, David. Lee, Birdman Anderson.
The Celtics also switched to the starting lineup: Rajan. Rondo, Ray Allen, Pierce, Garnett, Perkins.
Zhang Yu listened to D'Antoni very much today, and after he came on the court, he was one step away from the three-point line and shot a shot directly......
D'Antoni had an unhappy look on his face, but he shouted in his heart: "Good job!" "The mustache played this set, obviously out of luck, and it was my coach who was strategizing and clever; If you lose, it will naturally be caused by the core blind dick throwing and crazy iron.
Charles. Barkley's eyes were very sharp, and when he saw Zhang Yu using his left hand, he immediately felt that there was a goal for this ball, Zhang Yu used his left hand many times, and this kid's left hand was very evil.
"Bang!"
Zhang Yu slapped his palms fiercely, this time there was only one sound, there was no sound of the basketball hitting the net, it was a real iron!
"Damn,Ever since I didn't masturbate,,This left hand has always been faceless.,Is it the cooling of this skill CD.,What does it depend on?"
The Celtics grabbed the rebound and immediately launched a counterattack, but fortunately, Zhang Yu and Wallace were fast enough to stop Rondo and Pierce, and Crawford's athleticism was also better than Ray Allen, and the Celtics' fast-break counterattack did not succeed, and finally fell into the position.
Rondo and Garnett blocked, the wolf king pulled out to block Zhang Yu, Rondo used the cover to kill the inside in two steps, jumped to shake the birdman Anderson up, and then passed the basketball from the latter's side to Ray Allen, who cut into the basket and scored a goal with a quick layup.
That's where Rondo comes in, the assassin hiding around the Big Three, ready to deliver the killer blow to the Knicks, his 10th assist.
Zhang Yu complained to the referee that Garnett's cover just now obviously didn't leave enough space for him, and it should be a cover foul!
The bald Crawford didn't give Zhang Yu face again this time, and said with a smile: "I can accompany you to watch the big screen, and you can see for yourself if it's a foul?" ”
Garnett triumphantly pointed to the big screen in Madison Square Garden and said, "Vulna, look up yourself, your big screen is playing back now." ”
Zhang Yu was slapped in the face by the two of them continuously, without saying a word, and walked back with a gloomy face.
"Shit, bastard! Lao Tzu cursed you to divorce tomorrow, divide half of the property to your wife, and be taken to paste the little white face! "Zhang Yu's curse is not only vicious, it is simply inhumane.
The Celtics scored this goal, the score is 79:89, they are already 10 points behind, this is the last quarter, the game is a little more than half a quarter, this is not a wasted shot, except for this trick they have no other way to recover so many points on the Celtics.
The Knicks attacked, Zhang Yu felt bad, and the offensive end began to launch the pot throwing skill. This time he didn't pitch himself, but passed it to Crawford, leaving the best sixth man to take his own responsibility. That's right, Zhang Yu thinks that other players should also contribute, and he can't be left alone to shoot a dick, right? If you want to waste vote, you can vote for everyone once, and no one is allowed to cheat!
Crawford was a good man, first feints to shake up Ray Allen, then dribbles to 15 feet, shoots quickly, and scores a mid-range shot, typical of a one-man blind shot.
"Good!" D'Antoni still had an unhappy look on his face, but he shouted in his heart!
Ray Allen is generally not easy to eat feints, but it is difficult not to be fooled by the feints made by this guy Crawford, after all, the profligacy one step away from the three-point line is his essence and normality.
In the final battle of the Knicks, the three musketeers on the outside line shot two and one suddenly, and the momentum was very scary, which scared the Celtics in front of the TV! Especially at the beginning, the Celtics were not fully prepared for the Knicks' blind dick shooting tactics, allowing the Knicks to chase the score to only 5 points at one point.
Coach Rivers quickly called another timeout, and after strengthening the defensive intensity on the outside, the Knicks' three-shot musket began to decline, and the Celtics slowly pulled the score away.
The Celtics resolutely play the interior on the offensive end, and Garnett and Pierce are much more efficient on offense than the Knicks, and the two of them are one-on-one singles on the inside, but the Knicks are unable to divide the team.
Zhang Yu couldn't help it later, and tried to wrap Garnett, but Rondo killed inside at the first opportunity, and he could still cause damage and get points.
With 3:05 left in the fourth quarter and the score was 87-95, with the Knicks trailing by eight points, D'Antoni forced a timeout.
Charles. Barkley commented after a pause: "I don't think the Knicks still have a chance to win, this is a gap in strength, the Celtics' strength can be called crushing the Knicks, and it can't be said if they don't win." If the Knicks' only hope for a comeback is to hope that the bunny can explode in the last three minutes! But I want to say that this is not a movie, and he can't play a comeback trick from time to time. ”
Kenny. Smith agreed, saying: "Maybe we can talk about their signings next year, which is actually a hot topic of discussion in a lot of the New York media." We all know there's so much the Knicks can do after getting rid of most of their junk contracts next year. ”
Charles. Barkley said categorically: "If I were Dolan, I'd fire Thomas first, and if they made another mistake, it would be years to waste paying for that mistake." Personally, I don't approve of the Knicks making big moves in the transfer market this summer, they should make up for their weak team in the free market, focus on dealing with a basket of garbage contracts on the team, and leave salary space to wait patiently for the summer of 2010, when there will be big fish to catch! ”
Just when the two were talking about the Knicks next season, Zhang Yu scored another ultra-long three-pointer on the court, this time with his right hand.
Rivers was able to stabilize when he saw Crawford and Wallace going crazy, but once Zhang Yu launched a madness, Rivers was immediately frightened! The little rabbit is terrible in the last moments, how many times they have played their opponents to death like this, they don't want to repeat the mistakes of those unlucky guys!
"Watch them, the half-court is pressing, don't let them shoot lightly!" Rivers shouted hoarsely from the sidelines, he couldn't stand his team trying hard all the time, only to be shot to death by the dead rabbit at the last moment! (To be continued......)
