Chapter 188: Attack against Attack

The eyes of basketball fans all over the world are focused on the North Shore Garden Arena, and in half an hour, Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Boston Celtics host the New York Knicks, and the game will begin

The big battle is approaching, and the Celtics stars also warmed up hard, with skillful skills and smooth coordination, and the occasional fancy skills on display attracted bursts of warm applause from the Celtic fans in the stands

Due to the large number of fans, the stadium has been open to the public since 17:00 in the afternoon, and the stadium is completely full by the hour before the game, and it looks like a sea of green, and the yellow of New York is submerged in it

20,000 tickets are still not enough for the fans who want to witness the battle, most of the fans who do not have tickets at this time choose to watch the game in the nearest bar, some watch the big screen in the square, and a very small number of unwilling fans are waiting for the ticket refunder or even scalpers to appear

On such occasions, it is natural that politicians from all walks of life, entertainment stars, and politicians come here to show their proximity to the people, and celebrities come to this high-end summit to show their status, and celebrities also hope to use the heat of the competition to give themselves some popularity

…… We are the strongest team, this is our territory, and you all know what kind of team the opponent is, I don't believe that you 12 people can't handle one Li Feng...... With so many fans here today, I don't have anything else to ask of you, just win, win, win, win at all costs

Rivers didn't emphasize tactics at this point, all he had to do was boost the morale and courage of the players and make them fight for victory

In the Knicks' locker room, the same passion burns

We don't have the skills of the Celtics, we don't have the experience of the Celtics, we don't have the home advantage of the Celtics, but we have passion, we have fighting spirit, we have the blood, we know what fate is, do you want to control your own destiny, I will tell you that fate is in our hands, this game we are going to run to the death, Celtic squandered our sweat and blood every second

Most of the Knicks players are young people in their twenties, and it is when the blood is boiling, D'Anthony's fierce expression and strong words stimulate their adrenaline hormones like a mixture of stimulants, alcohol and aphrodisiacs, and they really feel the blood boiling, and they shout in unison:

Knock out the Celtics

……

rumble

The 20,000 fans at the scene shouted and applauded, drowning out the voice of the commentator, interrupting the team flag and team emblem dancing in the stands, scarves and long hair flying, coupled with the sprinkled green confetti, the lively scene was like the moment of winning the championship and winning the cup

The enthusiastic cheers and passionate applause lasted for a long time, and it was not until the lighting changed that the commentators began to loudly announce the lineups of the warring sides

The Green Shirts continue to send Rashid as the starting center, and the distribution of other positions is unchanged from the Big Four, and this lineup is the strongest lineup of the Celtics

As for the Knicks, D'Anthony gave up Eddie Corey, who often suffers from foul trouble, and the center was played by Al Harrington, and Harrington and Corey each had advantages, and Harington and Corey played center with Harington, and the Knicks still had to fight for speed and offense in this game, and D'Antoni made the most difficult bet

After the players from both sides came out, the TNT commentary booth became lively

In the face of the Knicks team who are weaker than themselves, Rivers also chose to attack, but for Rivers, defending Li Feng is an unsolvable problem, rather than focusing on defense, it is better to completely liberate the offense, which will be an exciting offensive battle, and the Boston Celtics are full offensive firepower, and the firepower should not be underestimated

The game is about to begin, in the last game, Li Feng slashed 56 points, he has already set a record, and today in the face of the green shirts who gave up the defense, what kind of performance will he bring to everyone, let's wait and see...,

……

Harrington and Wallace walked into the middle circle together

Harrington is younger than Wallace, but he is already a veteran with more than a dozen years of NBA experience, and in terms of physical fitness, he has a big advantage over the Roaring Celestial, who has entered the end of his career

But when the referee's whistle blew, Wallace quickly put the basketball in the hands of Rondo behind him

After Rondo got the basketball, he ran to the front court at a fast pace, and the Celtics started today, and the rhythm was so fast

It wasn't quite the same as usual, so D'Antoni immediately got nervous, and from the opening moment D'Antoni felt that the situation was not quite right

When D'Antoni was thinking like this, he watched Rondo get the basketball, and the fast pass to Ray Allen, who had already run around the court for half a lap, ran out and received the basketball, and saw that there was no point flying Thornton, and he waited a little to see that Pierce had come out again along the route that Allen had run

When Harden was passing by the baseline, Garnett used the baseline cover to block slightly, and there was a momentary vacancy

There was only a moment of space, but Pierce, who received the basketball, took an unhurried step, a curl cut in, and directly inserted into the Knicks' basket, when Li Feng defended, Pierce's simple feint was slightly delayed, Li Feng was a little delayed, and then Pierce's body leaned forward, and it seemed easy to put the basketball into the Knicks' basket

Pierce's offense has this characteristic, it doesn't look fierce, the breakthrough is not violent, and the shooting is not fast, but Pierce can use his footwork and rhythm to find a gap in the shot, and then steadily send the basketball into someone else's basket

Pierce is the hardest guy to defend against any other team, and sometimes you don't even feel like he's already scoring, and this kind of footwork and rhythm is amazing, and the back-to-back singles are not much better than some super insiders

Now in Celtic, Pierce has a lot fewer opportunities to attack with his back, but his grasp of the rhythm is still top-notch

Li Feng came out to defend a little wrong, and with a little attention, this basketball was not defended at all

This shows the true offensive power of Mr. Truth

The Celtics came up on the first leg with three players on the perimeter who touched the basketball one by one, and then immediately completed the offense effectively, looking simple and free

The Celtics started smoothly and scored, and the Knicks also wanted a good start, but the Knicks played a little messy after halftime, and this mess was not the Knicks' tactics

It's that now every player in the Knicks has to be better than himself, so many things that can be easily done in normal times can't be done in a few days, if the Knicks are just a player, it doesn't affect the overall situation, but the current situation is that the Knicks players are like this

In this way, the Knicks' tactics were problematic, and the tactics could not be executed at halftime, and the game was a bit chaotic

Dujon could only send the basketball directly to Harden on the baseline, and Harden's offense was slightly out of the team

Duhon's passing choice was not wrong, but in the face of Pierce, Harden still suffered a little bit in the confrontation, turned around and shot, and actually smashed it on the rebound very unreliable

The Knicks' first-round offense was unsuccessful

Garnett turned and got the rebound and immediately passed the ball to Rondo

Rondo has already reached the halfway line by this time, and there is a faster Pierce who has actually penetrated the low post of the Knicks

At this time, Barkley, who was broadcasting today's game, shouted in surprise on the sidelines:

Today was unusual for Celtic, they were a little bit faster than ever, and they looked like they were playing a little bit different

When Barkley yelled like this, he saw Rondo at the top of the arc and Garnett a slight horizontal pull...,

With Garnett's huge ass, Rondo got a great pass angle and sent the basketball towards Allen

Allen held the ball and Sandton was very dead, and today Thornton really worked defense

But the Celtics are a team that pays attention to teams, and Ray Allen, who was in a little trouble outside, immediately twisted his big ass and twisted to Allen's side

With the cover, Ray Allen quickly broke through two steps towards the basket, and suddenly formed a small big one, which was an opportunity

Ray Allen is only called the best shooter now, largely because he is a shooter who can attack without relying on his teammates, and he has many functions, even if he does not have the support of his teammates, he can complete the task by fighting alone

With such an opportunity, Allen strides a lot, takes a step back to the side, and then starts with a jumper

This adaptability made Harrington, who switched positions and defended, very uncomfortable, he was a big man, and his feet were not so fast

I could only watch Aaron take a step back and then jump directly, Harrington wanted to rush up and defend, but it was too late, and Allen's shot was too fast

Another 2-pointer opened with the Knicks being easily scored by the Celtics

This made D'Antoni feel very depressed, and the Green Shirts' offense suddenly went up a level, and the Green Shirts didn't suffer a loss

D'Antoni was a bit anxious, the game was now exceeding expectations, and he didn't know what to use to stop the Green Shirts

This is one of D'Antoni's limitations, when his run-and-gun tactical firepower is comparable to that of the opponent, he is simply powerless, and as long as the opponent can strengthen the defense while maintaining the attack, the team can only resign itself to fate (to be continued, if you like this work, you are welcome to (.)
