In the first quarter of the game, Chen Jiyuan was passing the ball almost all the time, only occasionally attacking two by himself. That was also to attract the Celtics' bag defense and make the Celtics not let go of their defense. Only in this way can we create enough space for Lefu to attack.

In the first quarter of the game, Chen Jiyuan gave 4 assists, all of which were given to Lefou. Lefou's first quarter lived up to expectations, with six mid-range shots. Hit 4 goals.

It was precisely because of Lefou's outstanding performance that the Knicks led the Celtics by 7 points in the first quarter.

The Celtics' offense has been unstoppable, especially since Pierce, the team's most relied on in this situation, was also defended by Stephen Jackson. As a result, the team's offense is even worse.

Stephen Jackson defends Truth Pierce at the time. Although he starts defending when he is off the ball, he does not focus on blocking passing routes like ordinary defenders, but launches a full-court close defense against "Truth", squeezing and even rushing opponents, his hands ready to break the ball, but his body is firmly attached to Pierce. However, Atai has always adhered to the principle of "four noes", not to start easily, not to eat feints, not to demand caps, and not to fake falls casually. As a result, Pierce's plan to make a free throw for Atay's hitter, or shake Atay to jump in order to break through, or even hit the basket directly has failed.

This resulted in Pierce scoring no points in the first quarter.

It can be said that in the regular season, even in the previous playoffs, Stephen Jackson rarely worked as hard and spared so much physical strength as he did today. It's all about winning for the sake of victory.

On the offensive end, Stephen Jackson is not going to do much, which is an open three-point shot, and if he has a chance, Stephen Jackson will shoot, and if he doesn't, it will be like that. If Stephen Jackson can seal Pierce today, he will be the hero of the team's victory.

In the regular season, Stephen Jackson's shot was slightly more than Iguodala's, Iguodala preferred to pass the ball to Sessions and Stephen Jackson, let the two of them shoot, no one knows why, and now Iguodala really gives people a clean heart. Don't fight for the right to defend with all your heart. Completely like a blue-collar player.

The outside world is talking about whether the Philadelphia trade made Iguodala lose his self-confidence.

Both Stephen Jackson and Iguodala's defense was successful, completely limiting Ray Allen and Pierce's offense in the first quarter. If Garnett hadn't had a good hand in the first quarter, hitting four high-post jumpers and scoring eight points, the Knicks would have been able to stretch the margin even further.

Now the score on the field is 21:14. The scores on both sides were not very high. Only 21 points in a single quarter, which is quite a lot for the Knicks. Chen Jiyuan scored 4 points in the entire first quarter of the game, but he handed out 4 assists and 4 rebounds. I don't know what Chen Jiyuan will feel if he sees this data.

444 data, it is estimated that Chen Jiyuan will comfort himself like this: It's okay, it's okay, in music, 4 is hair, this is hair. A good thing.

If the Celtics don't find a way to break through the Knicks' defense, they will only make the score gap wider.

However, Ray Allen can still rely on the help of his teammates on the inside to find some opportunities, but the chances will not be good. Iguodala is definitely playing with his life, following Ray Allen. Neither Stephen Jackson nor Iguodala is an absolute point on the offensive end with the Knicks. There is no need to reserve physical strength for the sake of attacking.

However, under the entanglement of Stephen Jackson and Iguodala, Ray Allen and Pierce's physical strength is not much better.

Pierce was entangled with Stephen Jackson throughout the first quarter, and the two men had infinite physical contact, and there were many times when the two men hugged each other and entangled in the first quarter. Pierce was very noisy, and his temper gradually became irritable.

However, Doug Rivers noticed this immediately, and quickly asked for a timeout to appease Pierce.

This did not cause Pierce to make any wrong decisions in his agitation.

Pierce couldn't find any good offensive opportunities, let alone offensive opportunities, and even good catches were quite rare. Stephen Jackson didn't give Pierce a chance to do anything at all.

During the timeout in the small quarter, Thibodeau still gave praise to the Knicks' defense, especially the two men on the outside, Iguodala and Stephen Jackson. After all, the team was able to lead by seven points in the first quarter, and sealing the Celtics' outside players was the biggest reason to do this.

In the second quarter, both sides made substitutions. Instead of using all the substitutes, the Celtics let Rondo take Pierce, Glenn Davis, Rashid Wallace and Tony Allen.

The team is not in a good situation right now, so Rivers still wants Pierce and Rondo to lead the team to recover a little lost points.

Thibodeau doesn't care so much, when he saw Pierce, he decisively let Stephen Jackson play, and the meaning expressed was obvious, Lao Tzu was going to let Stephen Jackson fight with you. Fight to the end. Knock to death.

The five players on the Knicks' side are Curry, Thornton, Stephen Jackson, Ibaka, and Ty Gibson. Although Love didn't work very well in defending Garnett in the first quarter, Thibodeau still wanted to preserve Lefou's physical strength as much as possible to attack and deal with Garnett. And the combination of Thorton and Curry is also because Tony Allen's offensive firepower is not particularly strong, and now that the team is ahead, it is better to play offensive players to maintain the lead for the team.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Knicks gave Rivers a smack of the idea in an instant.

The Celtics attacked, the effect was still good, Rondo and Glen Davis blocked, after the block, Rondo made a ground-hitting pass to give the ball to the inside of Glen Davis injured, Glen Davis relied on his own weight, successfully knocked away Ty Gibson, and then made a layup.

21:16。

The bench players on the Knicks' side showed their offensive firepower in the first moment. Curry dribbled the ball past half court and passed the ball to Thorton at the first time.

Then Thorton was outside the three-point line, swinging back and forth, and then suddenly jumped directly to a three-point shot. This ball, Tony Allen's defense is absolutely no problem, in the first moment of Thorton's jump, Tony Allen followed Thorton's movements, but it was useless, the ball, in response, went into the net, directly into the basket.

24:16。

The Celtics attacked, Curry took a big step when defending Rondo, which was also a tactic arranged by the Knicks, and Rondo is not the little newcomer who has no ball at all, so this ball, Rondo himself jumped shot. Rondo, who originally wanted to hit Thibodeau's face, saw that the ball didn't go in, and he only felt that his face was a little dark.

A completely empty middle distance, but Rondo just didn't score. It hurts.

Here, Ibaka protected the rebound on the inside, passed the ball to Thorton at the first time, Thorton pushed forward with the ball, and then after two shots, Thorton saw Curry on the left running faster, so he gave the ball to Curry.

The time has come for Curry not to point to the B face, after running to the three-point line, Curry does not stop at all, and directly shoots a three-point shot, this ball, Rondo has retreated to the inside line to defend. There is absolutely no problem with Rondo's retreat, but everyone didn't expect this product to dare to be so bold.

The difficulty coefficient of such a shot is still quite high, and the crosshairs are also very difficult to master. If it wasn't for being forced by tight defense, most people wouldn't choose to make such a move, but Curry came directly to this move in order to save time.

After Curry jumped, he shot and landed, and the landing location was no longer in the original starting location, and it was difficult to find the direction in the process of drifting.

With no one to defend it, Curry hit the ball. 27:16。

The fans in the stadium fell silent.

After a moment of silence, the audience burst into an incomparable and astonishing shout.

The Knicks players at the sideline break were excited. Everyone else is holding a towel and shaking it. And Chen Jiyuan shook it with his mask. That scene is a little bit funny.

Thorton and Curry hit back-to-back three-pointers, and all of a sudden, the Knicks' lead went into double digits.

The Celtics are really in a very bad situation.

Rivers could only ask for another timeout, but no substitutions were made. I don't know what Rivers did to preach the chicken soup for the soul to restore the fighting spirit of the players. Anyway, after the game restarted, Celtic felt a little different. Especially Pierce.

Sure enough, as soon as he returned to the court, Pierce faced Stephen Jackson's defense and shot a three-pointer.

And that's just the beginning, the Knicks attacked, Thorton missed a three-pointer. In the next ball, Stephen Jackson and Pierce were in the process of entanglement with the two of them, and Rondo made a rather delicate pass, which allowed the ball to fly over the highest point that Stephen Jackson could reach and fly to Pierce's side, and after Pierce received the ball, he clicked, and Stephen Jackson did not jump. Pierce made a forced jumper for the second time, and the ball went in again.

Pierce returned to the court and scored five straight points to help the team close the gap. 27：21。
