On May 8, 2002, the NBA league announced the best rookie team in the 01~02 season:

The first team of 5 people are:

Tony Parker, Jason Richardson, Sean Battier, Andrei Kirilenko, Pau Gasol

The second team of 6 people are:

Jamal Tinsley, Richard Jefferson, Joe Johnson, Eddie Griffin, Vladimir Radmanovich, Serk Reblasia.

The ripple effect of the announcement of the Rookie of the Year team is:

"Michael Jordan ruined Kwame Brown!"

Of course, the failure of Tyson Chandler and Eddie Curry, two talented big men in high school, to make the selection has also sparked criticism from ball critics.

The Bulls and Hawks are both bad teams, and in this case, the rookie data is really unreasonable.

Before entering the league, Eddie Curry spoke loudly, but as the team's record pulled his hips, the "little shark" also fell silent.

The failure of several high-pick rookies to the best team also reminded the rookies who participated in this year's draft that not every team is suitable for rookies to grow!

If you want to get more playing time and more data, the external environment is more important.

'02 wasn't a big year for drafts, but many commentators began to pay attention to big men from the East.

With a stature of more than 2.20 meters, such players have also appeared in the league, and the Knicks' old rival Rick Smitz has impressed New York fans.

It's just that with the rise of Li You in the past two years, the super center winning the championship has been seriously doubted.

What's more, the big man's defense and dismantling are really stretching, and many teams have begun to give up their previous team building ideas.

Fans may wonder how the big man from the East will perform, while the championship-seeking team is still pinning their hopes on the perimeter players.

After a cross-generational shooting guard like Michael Jordan, the two-way guard became a favorite among ball critics.

On the morning of the 8th, everyone on the Knicks left for Boston, and the Eastern Conference semifinals G3 will officially start at 19 o'clock tomorrow night.

At both home games at Madison Square Garden, the Celtics lost by big scores.

G1, 83:105, lost by 22 points, and in G2, 88:103, lost by another 15 points.

One followed the blind chicken and the other tried to slow down and drag the Knicks into the offensive position.

The Celtics' forward group didn't play much of a role, especially in the G2 game, where they scored just 34 points in the second half with a halftime stalemate.

Antoine Walker and Paul Pierce took turns in two games, the main attackers couldn't carry the offense, and the Celtics collapsed early.

The two teams are not far apart, and after coming to Boston, the Knicks checked into the hotel, and Coach Thibodeau was no longer nervous at this time, and calmly accepted an interview with media reporters:

"The Celtics are a great team, and the championship flag over the arena is the best proof of that."

"We're not going to relax in the slightest for tomorrow night's game, and they're going to go three games in a row in the first round when they're two games down, and that's not going to happen to the Knicks!"

The Boston Globe reporter didn't like the answer, but after two games, they also discovered the team's biggest problem:

"The stars are not in good shape."

On the other side, a reporter from the Boston Business Journal interviewed Lee You while the Knicks were checking in, but the two were not talking about tomorrow night's game:

"Lee, it is said that you have acquired a lot of shares in English football clubs in the secondary market, do you plan to hold these shares for a long time?"

Li You, who was pushing a small suitcase, didn't expect Boston's business magazines to get the news, but for this kind of problem, he naturally had to follow and dilute the mud:

"Yes, it's an easy investment, and I love sports, whether it's basketball or football, I love it."

"As for those stocks, I think they'll give me some gains in the future!"

Buying shares from the secondary market can be confusing, and with the current trend of Manchester United, this investment is a sure bet.

Li You, who was wearing a black printed T-shirt, answered more casually, and several media reporters didn't think much about it.

Buying a team in the UK is not an easy task, not only in terms of market behaviour, but also in many cases, taking into account government factors.

After all, most of the football clubs in the UK are losing money, and those who play football are more of the personal preferences of rich people.

Coming to Boston, the Knicks were equally confident, with two big wins showing that the opponent was no different from the regular season.

Even if it's a strong forward group, it's useless if you can't shoot.

There was only one game that night, 78:88, the Nets defeated the Pistons, the situation in the Eastern Conference has become clear, and Kidd, who has just come to the Eastern Conference this season, seems to be about to touch the floor of the Eastern Conference!

In TNT's post-game commentary, despite the Nets winning, no one in the trio was optimistic about the team.

Kidd was 5-of-18 from the field, scoring 11 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal, and there was always the illusion that the team boss was relying on role players to break out.

Kenny Smith, as always, did not speak ill of the players, but praised Kidd's performance:

"Defensively, Kidd limited Atkins to 2-of-10, and excellent defense is the guarantee of the Nets' victory, maybe they can make it to the Finals!"

Charles Barkley flipped through the technical statistics and said unceremoniously:

"Forget it! Kidd may be able to limit the Pistons' backcourt to a hard-to-score score, but against the Knicks, he can't take advantage of anything. ”

"Not only that, but Kidd will pay the price for his projection ability, and Lee doesn't even have to interfere too much, maybe this guy can throw the ball himself."

"Whether others admit it or not, the Knicks are extremely dominant whether they meet the Celtics or the Nets."

"61 wins, this year Lee is going to enter the finals again, and he has entered the finals for 5 consecutive seasons!"

Although everyone thinks so, but it can't be said so, Ernnie Johnson glanced helplessly at this big mouth and could only continue the topic:

"If the Knicks get the match point tomorrow night, the suspense of the series will indeed be over."

"How do the Celtics adjust? They lost both games by a big score! ”

Before Kenny Smith could say his point, Charles Barkley quickly picked up the conversation and said seriously:

"Unless Anthony Walker can hit those terrible shots, the Celtics won't have any chances."

Ignoring the eyes of the two partners next to him, Charles Barkley quickly said again:

"I'm sticking to my previous point that maybe the Celtics are okay with the idea of building a team, but they lack real star players."

"There is also a gap in quality between All-Star players, and to be a championship team, they need a real core!"

Hearing this, Kenny Smith subconsciously rubbed his eyebrows, the show is broadcast, there is a high probability that it will be complained again, and the Celtics have a lot of fans.

On the evening of May 9, more than 18,000 Celtics fans entered the Fleet Center arena early.

Before the time reached 19 o'clock, the arena became extremely noisy, and after many years of silence, the fans reached the Eastern Conference semifinals again, and the fans were naturally enthusiastic.

After two games, Pierce's good mood was gone, and he had just mocked McGrady for being an inefficient scorer and was now slapping him in the face with a boomerang.

In the interview, he no longer mentioned "good brother Li You", and Pierce finally experienced the feelings of a certain balloon star.

Antoine Walker has been shooting from beyond the three-point line for two consecutive games, and he will become a hero when he enters, and he is destined to be a backstabber.

The good reputation of winning against the Magic is gone, and the name of "inefficient brush" is back on the head.

The two key players did not give too many interviews, and head coach Jim O'Brien did not accommodate the players after returning to the home stadium, making it clear in an interview before the game:

"We're going to hit the ball to the basket a little bit more, and we're going to be more strict with the bag!"

Fed up with the profligate pitch from key players, the Celtics' coaching staff has warned Antoine Walker.

No one wants to bet on his hand anymore, and Celtics fans are no different, who would rather see the home team miss the basket from mid-range than see the three-point shot being frantically countered by the opponent.

Before the game started, while Li You was warming up and shooting, there were boos in the arena.

Grant Hill is used to this kind of away treatment, and when he warmed up, he chuckled twice:

"Maybe when you retire, these fans will cheer for you, and most Eastern Conference fans don't seem to like you."

The team rarely played a good result, but they entered the playoffs and had to exit quickly, and Li You can understand the feelings of these loyal fans:

"As long as they win enough, even if it's an opponent, they'll like the Knicks."

Hearing Li You's words, Artest on the side didn't quite agree, the main reason for this is the New York fans, who have been booed a lot more this season than in the previous two years.

Everyone on the Knicks finished the warm-up with a calm look, and on the other side, the Celtics' coaching organization pulled the players to talk non-stop.

In the life-and-death battle, in addition to shortening the rotation, the defensive strategy has also been adjusted, and Coach Jim O'Brien seems to be still not at ease, and finally did not forget to remind the team's core players loudly:

"Hit the ball inside, we're going to score close to the basket!"

Antoine Walker was a little impatient, but he didn't want to waste his hand in front of the home fans.

As the players from both sides reached the center of the field, the pitch grew louder and louder.

As Gasol dialed the ball to the half, the defensive cry immediately rang out:

“Defense！.”

In the first offensive round, Lee Woo had just dribbled past half court when Pierce on the right flank immediately stepped forward to play with Kenny Anderson.

There was still some distance from the three-point line, and this position was sandwiched, and Li You didn't care, quickly passing the ball to Grant Hill, who received it.

While Piser returned to defend, Eric Williams dropped Artest in the bottom right corner and rotated the defense first.

The Knicks had just settled down at this time, the big man was still sinking in the baseline position, and when Artest received the ball, there was no one in front of him, and he noticed the situation on the inside, hesitated for a moment or made a jump shot.

"Bang!"

The open space was ironed, the rebound was protected by Tony Barty, and for a while, the arena was full of cheers.

It's just that the Celtics fans were happy too early, and in the offensive round, Kenny Anderson was pressed by Li You, who led the defense, and couldn't lift his head.

A frustrated Artest chased Pierce, and when the two reached the right flank, Kenny Anderson couldn't deliver a pass in time and stopped the ball at the top of the arc.

Eric Williams wanted to turn his back to the ball at the left elbow, but Grant Hill was not polite and kept going around and blocking the pass.

With more than 15 seconds on offense, the Celtics ended up being the same old routine as Antoine Walker came to the top of the arc to catch the ball

The prepared tactics failed again, and Kenny Anderson shouted to his teammates to open up space as he moved to the left flank.

After receiving the ball, Kurt Thomas still lowered his body's center of gravity, put his shot to defend himself, and tested the opponent's shooting touch first.

After a series of tentative steps, Antoine Walker put the ball with his right hand, suddenly lowered his center of gravity, quickly in and out, and immediately accelerated the breakthrough after shaking.

Instead of opting for a jumper, he grabbed half of his body and went straight to the basket.

Kurt Thomas slid quickly, but the opponent still found a chance, broke to the bottom right of the basket, met the block, Antoine Walker leaned back, and threw the ball to the rebound with his right hand.

"Bang!"

Helping the Celtics open the scoring, Antoine Walker also waved his fists in celebration.

Stretching out space for star players to play singles and no longer throwing three-pointers, the Celtics seem to be on the right track.

Sensing the opponent's defensive changes, Li You took the initiative to speed up the offensive tempo, and this kind of bag also appeared in the regular season.

After half-time, he quickly gave the ball to Gasol at the top of the arc, and then Lee Woo ran without the ball, slid to the right and accelerated to run back, and the moment he received the hand-handed pass, the big man Tony Barty was delayed.

Kenny Anderson followed up and chased again, and before the two could close the circle, Lee Woo took the opportunity to give the ball to Gasol, who was down.

Approaching the free throw line to catch the ball, Antoine Walker on the inside rotated just as quickly, but Gasol was tall and arm-long, and he threw the ball to the top right of the basket with both hands.

Kurt Thomas jumped up and scooped the ball in the air and smashed it into the basket with ease!

"Shh

The smooth coordination easily broke down the Celtics' defense, and the fans could only boo again and continue to cheer for the home team.

Sensing that his players had forgotten defensive principles again, Coach Jim O'Brien on the sidelines kept shouting reminders.

Paul Pearce, who was engaged in the attack, didn't pay attention to the manager's shouting at this time, and after receiving the ball with his back to the right elbow area, he was defended by Artest.

After getting the ball, it was difficult to get off the ball, and he had to put the ball with his left hand after continuous tentative steps, and Pierce took a step and immediately retreated, facing the defensive mid-range jumper to hit the iron.

Seeing Gasol collect the rebound and throw the ball to Lee You, who received the ball near the right sideline, Kenny Anderson immediately committed a tactical foul and disrupted the Knicks' transition offense.

As the game progressed, on the NBC commentary bench, Mike Fratello watched the two sides start to play iron again, and couldn't help but praise the Celtics' game strategy:

"Coach O'Brien did a good job of limiting the opponent's transition offense, but all they have to do now is put the ball in the basket."

"The Knicks squandered some chances, and they had some issues with their shooting touch tonight."

At 6:13 of the first quarter, Pierce hit both free throws to bring the score to 8-8.

After most of the game, the Celtics' crazy wrapping effect was very significant.

Li You is still not in a hurry after receiving the ball, this kind of stalemate cannot continue to grow, he only needs to be patient to toss the opponent's defense, and as the game goes by, the intensity will naturally decrease.

“Defense！.”

Although the score was not high, the emotions of the fans at the scene became more and more excited, the game seemed to have to be played, and the shouts were a little louder.

The same tactic was played again, only this time with Kurt Thomas completing a hand-to-hand pass on the right flank.

Kenny Anderson, who was chasing the defense, was briefly delayed, and Antoine Walker, who came up on the switch, looked at Li You, who was holding the ball in his right hand, and suddenly accelerated after being in and out, and subconsciously followed the left rear slide.

The two had a physical confrontation, and Li You was not affected too much, sensing that the other party seemed to want to cut, and quickly turned around as he went.

Antoine Walker didn't have time to adjust his pace and twist to defend Li You at this time, he had already broken through to the paint area, and switched to his left hand to complete the pick!

"Huh!" The two-point ball hollows into the net.

The apparent brother was in a bad mood, and obviously, Li You wanted to consume him, Antoine Walker scolded in a low voice, and then signaled to his teammates to shrink the defense at this time.

In the next round, with 24 seconds left for the Celtics to attack, Tony Barty hit another shot in front of the basket.

Grabbing the rebound, Gasol immediately threw the ball to Grant Hill, who was close to the left touchline.

Instead of choosing a foul, Grant Hill accelerated faster and faster with the ball.

Changing direction sharply, he grabbed the ball with his right hand and came to the top of the arc, and Grant Hill took advantage of the situation to distribute the ball to Li You, who rushed past half court.

At the moment of receiving the ball, Kenny Anderson subconsciously pounced upward, and Li You took advantage of the situation to release the ball with his right hand, and after lowering the center of gravity, there was no shaking and he broke through with his shoulder.

After the ball protector slapped off the opponent's arm, Li You, who borrowed his strength again, instantly passed the defense and went straight to the basket.

Pierce, who chased down the basket, subconsciously jumped up to block it, and at the bottom right of the basket, Li You grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand, collected the ball in the air, curled up, and glided to the bottom left of the basket.

At 12:8, the Knicks suddenly opened up the difference, and Coach O'Brien immediately called a timeout.

Noticing that everyone on the Celtics seemed to be gasping for breath, Marf Albert in the commentary seat immediately smiled and said:

"The defensive intensity seems to be declining, the Knicks are back on the counter, and Lee's ability to take chances is too good!"

Mike Fratello only feels that the Celtics are constantly wasting opportunities, and the idea of "lack of star quality" also appears in his mind:

"They've got to get the ball to the basket as quickly as possible, whether it's a free throw or a finish, and somebody has to step up and take responsibility."

On the first offense after the timeout, Pierce had difficulty receiving the ball again, and in desperation, Kenny Anderson moved away from the three-point line and re-compared tactical gestures.

Li You sensed that the opponent wanted to make a cross-cut on the line and create a scoring opportunity for Pierce, so he simply took the initiative to move backwards and no longer pressed the defense.

Running around the cover to the left flank, Pierce just wanted to turn around to catch the ball, but Kenny Anderson's overly obvious cross pass was tackled by Lee You, who suddenly burst into the ball.

The moment he lost the ball, Kenny Anderson immediately pounced, but was directly knocked away by Li You, who led the ball, and fell to the floor with a plop.

In the boos of the fans, 1 to 0 in the front court, Li You rushed faster and faster, and he rose up in the paint area and won the buckle with both hands!

At 14:8, on the Knicks bench, the atmosphere group was jubilant.

Li You, who returned to the defense, kept clapping his hands and signaling to strengthen the defense.

The Celtics fans cheered out with all their might, and in the left blocking area, Eric Williams received the ball with his back and turned to the baseline and was stealed by Grant Hill.

After re-catching the ball, Grant Hill, who was holding the ball in his right hand, rushed faster and faster, rushed across the half court in the blink of an eye, came to the right wing without slowing down, and continued to go straight to the basket.

Pierce, who retreated, rushed directly to the middle, thinking of a tactical foul, but he rushed too hard.

As he went, Grant Hill circled the ball and then immediately rose into the air, grabbed the ball with his right hand and smashed it with one arm!

At 16:8, there was suddenly no sound in the arena, and the atmosphere group on the Celtics bench was also blinded.

Although Pierce cut to the basket to score two more points, Gasol, who received a pass from Lee You, scored an open jumper from the free throw line.

With the score leading, the Knicks suddenly found their shooting touch again, and Gasol, who scored the goal, also waved his fists in celebration, and he got a lot of opportunities tonight.

Antoine Walker couldn't hold back and shot a three-pointer from the left wing

In the exclamation of the fans, Lee You picked up the rebound and rushed with the ball, and Kenny Anderson directly lost the defensive position.

It was Pierce who actively retreated, rushed to the paint area from the right wing to pass the ball behind Li You's march, and the basketball flew to Artest who cut in on the other side, who caught the ball with his right hand after receiving the ball, and glided and dunked!

Seeing Antoine Walker and Eric Williams actually just run past the halfway line, Pierce could only smash the ball in anger, which was not the kind of defense he wanted.

At 20:10, the double-digit margin almost turned the Fleet Center Arena into a library.

All the imagination before the game was finally completely shattered by the ruthless reality.

At 1:43 of the first quarter, big man Tony Barty stumbled after making a quick turn in the low post on the left side of the basket, and the basketball was easily stealed by Gasol.

Such a scene has made the head coach O'Brien on the sidelines start to shake his head.

The sudden mistake exacerbated the collapse of the Celtics.

The Knicks attacked quickly on the third line, and Li You, who passed the ball, stopped on the right wing.

Grant Hill, who received the ball in the middle, broke through the paint zone and also passed the ball from behind, and Gasol, who followed quickly, was a dunk!

"Shh

Gasol roared happily, celebrating happily and causing the fans to boo.

Fortunately, Antoine Walker then made a strong penetration of the inside, and the basket scored a right-handed throw from the bottom right of the basket, which also caused a foul on Kurt Thomas.

It's rare to play a wonderful goal, but Antoine Walker, who stands at the free throw line, keeps pulling a big face.

Li You clapped his hands outside the three-point line, indicating that this is good defense, and the two foul controls on the inside tonight are very good.

After the penalty was hit, the two sides began a new round of iron.

At 26:17, at the end of the first quarter, looking at such a score, the Celtics fans were silent.

Unlike the offensive battle between the Mavericks and the Kings, the pace of tonight's game is very slow, and on the Knicks' side, there is a sense of losing the blacksmith's possession.

By the time the second quarter began, the Celtics didn't make much of a rotation.

The Knicks also didn't change their defensive strategy and continued to test Antoine Walker's shooting touch.

Every time, he was the easiest player on the team to catch the ball, but when he returned to the home court, Antoine Walker didn't shoot indiscriminately, but kept hitting the basket.

After the two sides played iron continuously, Knight, the big man who came off the bench, helped defend in time this time and covered Pierce's layup!

"Ahh

After completing the block, Knight roared after landing on the ground, and the Knicks launched another transition offense.

Lee Woo, who had just debuted, continued to accelerate along the right sideline, and Tony Delt did not give any more physical confrontations, but kept sliding to keep himself on Lee Woo's side at all times.

Li You, who showed no signs of slowing down, looked around the defense while traveling, approached the three-point line, suddenly stopped sharply, and quickly crossed and pulled back.

The moment Li You switched to his left hand, Tony Deck, who was close to the defense, failed to adjust the defensive center of gravity in time, and his foot slipped and completely lost the defensive position.

Li You, who completely shook off the defense, immediately closed the ball, and then quickly jumped on the right flank!

"Huh!" Three-point shot hollow into the net!

"Shh

At 33:21, the margin was back in double digits, and the boos in the arena were getting smaller.

Pierce, who retreated, became more and more aggrieved in his heart, and immediately pushed Artest, who was defending by kraft candy.

Artest, who was striking iron, was also depressed, and before the referee could react, the whole person crashed into Pierce.

"Falk squid! You all-star thief! ”

"Shut your foul mouth!"

The two who were pulled away by the referee did not forget to greet each other, and this round of the series was completely competitive.

Artest also doesn't care about offense, throws it when he gets out of the space, arches to the basket when he has the opportunity, and stalks on the defensive end.

Pierce, as the core of the offense, was distraught by this kind of defense, and the two were of similar stature, frequently colliding muscles, and their shots were inaccurate.

The opponent hit the iron, and Li You calmly commanded the traffic, passed the ball when he encountered the bag, and constantly loudly commanded his teammates to run.

In the second half of the second quarter, the game had turned into a practice match for the Knicks to practice breaking the bag.

With 1:01 left in the half, Lee Woo made tactical gestures before halftime.

Kurt Thomas made a quick run to the left flank, and when he received the pass, Antoine Walker kept cutting the ball to interfere.

After completing the pass, Li You accelerated to the bottom left corner, and Grant Hill noticed that Kort Thomas threw the ball to Gasol at the top of the arc, and immediately moved quickly.

Eric Williams thought Grant Hill was going to cut to the basket, but he didn't expect to just make an off-ball screen.

Kenny Anderson realized that something was wrong, but he didn't have time to alert his teammates, and the next second saw Lee Yoo suddenly accelerate the outside shot, and Kurt Thomas successfully delayed Eric Williams under the screen.

Moving to the top of the arc until Gasol sent the ball for the first time, Li You received the ball near the left sideline, without making any adjustments, and threw the ball away!

"Huh!" Three-pointers hollow into the net.

"Wonderful cooperation, it was so wonderful! The Celtics' defense is completely ineffective! ”

"Maybe that's why Lee has been more and more efficient this season, and he always gets those open shots in a game!"

Mav Albert was thrilled to watch, and this clear tactical routine was pleasing to the eye, and he couldn't stop blowing for a while.

Coach Thibodeau on the sidelines subconsciously opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to shout, and this kind of completely improvisational offensive routine is not common in training.

Mike Fratello watched the big man Tony Barty force the basket and get fouled and stood on the free throw line, and couldn't help but shake his head:

"The Celtics are still playing with their talent, and the gap between the two teams is too big."

The Knicks' tactics didn't work every game, sometimes it was Gasol's mispassing, and sometimes it was a few people who didn't cover well and didn't have a chance.

Once the offense lasted more than 18 seconds, Lee had to pick up the pot again, and this offensive pattern slowed down the pace of tonight's game, and the Celtics were crushed in the second quarter.

With Antoine Walker's half-time missed a long-range three-pointer, the Fleet Center Arena fell completely silent.

At 52:36, Celtics fans were blindsided.

Li You, who walked to the players' tunnel, shook his head slightly, and made 8 mistakes in the half, which did not meet his expectations.

"There were 7 mistakes and I think everyone did a good job!"

Grant Hill didn't care about this, but patted Li You on the shoulder and comforted him.

Li You and his teammates gave a brief high-five, then turned their heads and responded softly:

"The opponent is a playoff rookie, so we have to go higher, but we scored 52 points in a bad hand, which is really good."

With more than 15 mistakes in a game, Li You was a little uncomfortable, and Artest ran back to the locker room early, and the iron was pretending to be an ostrich

When the second half began, the Celtics did not fight back, but further stretched their hips on the offensive end.

Paul Pierce, who was thoroughly on top, was repeatedly pestered by Artest, who had entered boxer mode.

Pierce was caught with his back to the front and received the ball outside the three-point line, but Artest still chased after him.

With 4 minutes and 52 seconds left in the third quarter, Pierce bounced to the left flank to catch the ball and was chased by Artest and sliced the ball hard.

Fortunately, the referee blew the whistle immediately after dropping the ball, Artest was so angry that he wanted to reason with the referee, and Li You hurriedly grabbed the hot-blooded blacksmith.

Coach Thibodeau finally found his presence at this time, and complained loudly around the referee:

"It's obviously a good steal, you can't take care of them just because they can't score!"

was immediately blown a T, Artest saw that the head coach was blown, and also calmed down, looked at the score with his waist crossed, and shouted arrogantly to Pierce:

"Hey! All-Star! How many points did you take? ”

0 of 4, with zero eggs in the score, Pierce, who walked to the free throw line, stopped depressedly and relied on free throws to score points, which was really embarrassing.

The two began to greet each other again, and by this time the fleet center hall had become a library, and everyone knew that they were likely to be swept out

At 62:39, Kenny Anderson scored a free throw with 23 points remaining.

After wrapping Li You, the Knicks played extremely patiently and relied on defense to extinguish the opponent's counterattack.

The online frantically pressed the ball carriers, and the Celtics fans were already numb, and for most of the quarter, many fans even wanted to end the painful game early.

Fortunately, the defensive intensity dropped in the back, and the Celtics finally scored double-doubles.

At 20:11 in the single quarter, the battle ended in the third quarter, and at 72:47, the game lost its suspense.

Back on the bench, Pierce, who was panting for breath, first kicked the drink away, then threw the towel to the floor, slammed the seat twice, held his head in his hands, and kept scolding:

"Hell game! Shet! ”

After tonight's game, Artest was on his blacklist, and Lee Woo was no longer a "good brother", with 11 points in a single quarter, and he would be ridiculed by ball critics throughout the offseason

Li You didn't push the back single, but the final offense dropped the ball and made a mistake, and Antoine Walker, who contributed such a famous scene, returned to his seat with his eyes straight.

It's playing at home, and some people are already booing.

On the bench of the Celtics, the atmosphere team did not dare to speak, only coach O'Brien was still holding the tactical board to write and draw.

In the last quarter of the game, the defensive intensity of both sides decreased, but the shooting rate was still not high, and the Celtics fans who bought tickets to watch the game tonight only felt that they were losing blood!

Li You, who was caught in the bag, is still not the main attacker, and he is responsible for receiving the pot for most of the rounds tonight.

The opponent does not change the main lineup, and the cautious head coach Thibodeau does not plan to make substitutions, as long as the match point is obtained, G4 is not important.

Gasol got a lot of opportunities tonight, but under a lot of confrontation, the jump shot still pulled his hips, but fortunately, the finish under the basket was still on the line, relying on his long arms, and he could send the ball to the basket when he got the opportunity

After the Knicks hit the same game three times in a row and Grant Hill scored backhand layups with left and right bows, head coach O'Brien folded his arms and reluctantly called a timeout.

In the commentary box, Mike Flatello looked a little embarrassed when he thought of his prediction for this series:

"Even though the Knicks were less effective offensively tonight, they won the game by defending."

"Lee has always been firmly in control of the pace of the game, and he has a great chance of reaching the finals again this season!"

Played 40 minutes, 11-of-23, 3-of-7 from beyond the three-point line, 6-of-6 from the free-throw line, 31 points, 6 rebounds, 12 assists, 4 steals and 3 turnovers.

A large number of bags still have an effect, and Li You's shooting percentage is below 50% for the first time in this year's playoffs.

Mav Albert, who watched the technical statistics, felt that Li You performed better tonight than in the previous fishing competitions:

"Whether it's with the ball in hand or running without the ball, Lee always helps the team and he's still improving this season!"

“.”

In the second half of the fourth quarter, two people in the commentary box blew X, and the Fleet Center Arena became quieter and quieter, and it seemed that everyone was waiting for the end of the game.

In the end, amid the scattered boos of the fans, the score was fixed at 96:70, and the series score came to 3:0.

Played 42 minutes, 7-of-23, 1-of-6 from beyond the three-point line, 4-of-5 from the free-throw line, 19 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 3 turnovers.

Paul Pearce, who got this data, didn't say a word after the game, and walked directly to the players' tunnel with a towel:

"This brother, don't do it!"

7 of 18, Antoine Walker, who scored 16 points, also lost his good face, and the "star color theory" said that he lost 26 points in the battle of life and death, and he couldn't read the newspaper anymore:

"The Knicks will be mortal enemies in the future!"

Li You shook hands with the rest of the Celtics, and if he didn't see the two surface brothers, he knew that there was a high probability that he would "lose" them later.

As they walked to the players' tunnel, the Celtics fans on either side did not forget to boo again.

Li You pursed his lips and patted Artest, who was beating the iron, as encouragement, and could only complain helplessly in his heart:

"I wanted to save some face for the surface brothers, but he didn't allow the strength!"

The game that was played simultaneously on the night of the 9th was another battle of attack.

At 125:119, the Kings won an away victory, and the big score came to 2:1.

In this battle, Nash was 5 of 19 and 2 of 10 from beyond the three-point line, scoring 15 points, 4 rebounds, 15 assists, 3 steals and 3 turnovers.

Although the efficiency is stretched, Nash also shows his demeanor as a top defender!

Nowitzki became a "soft egg" again, shooting 6-of-15 for 19 points and 5 rebounds.

China's sports media are secretly saying that it is a pity, Wang Zhizhi played 4 minutes, 3 of 4, 1 of 1 from beyond the three-point line, and got 7 points and 2 rebounds with high efficiency.

"If we had played 20 minutes, maybe the Mavericks would have won the game!"

Chinese fans in front of the TV naturally agree with this view, and everyone wants to see Wang Zhizhi replace Nowitzki.

On the morning of May 10th, the NBA league announced the best defensive team of the 01~02 season:

The first team of 5 people are:

Lee Yo, Jason Kidd, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, Ben Wallace;

The second team of 5 people are:

Gary Payton, Kobe Bryant, Bruce Bowen, Clifford Robinson, Dicambe Mutombo.

Two of the Pistons' players were named to the All-Defensive Team, and this season, they were almost the biggest winners in the awards!

After the list was announced, it immediately caused a lot of controversy:

Why was Mutombo from fishing selected?

How did Doug Christie of the Kings lose the draft?

Coach Adelman, who is still preparing for the game in Dallas, expressed his dissatisfaction in an interview:

'Even though the list was chosen by the manager, I don't think people are doing their job seriously.

"Some players aren't even in the top 50 in defensive efficiency, which is unfair to Doug."

Coach Aardman is complaining that the other coaches' votes are impressions, and Thibodeau is preparing for the G4 game and is also complaining about Artest:

"Ron's performance on the defensive end was visible to everybody, and I think he deserved to be in the defensive lineup."

"The Knicks didn't do a great job of limiting opponents' scoring in the regular season, but it's a personal honor."

The most controversial ones are actually Gary Payton and Kobe Bryant.

The former is older and has been in a state of physical decline, and the latter is due to defensive efficiency statistics, and ball critics believe that Doug Christie should be more selected.

Of course, everyone's complaints are mainly to create a grievance situation.

The Spurs don't seem to be the Lakers' opponent, and although the two sides are tied 1-1, the Lakers, who have won on the road, have taken the lead.

After the video class at the hotel in the morning, when he was about to have lunch, Li You became "Yuan Fang" again.

A New York Post reporter who came to Boston with the team interviewed Li You:

"Lee, congratulations on your selection to the All-Defensive Team!"

"This season you're ranked 9th in the league in defensive efficiency, 10th is Kidd and Ron is 13th."

"What do you think of Thibodeau's point of view?"

Li You was stunned when he heard this, but at this time he still helped his teammates stand on the platform:

"Ron's defense has been really good and he really deserves to be named to the All-Defensive Team this season."

"I don't pay attention to the defensive efficiency numbers, but in the Knicks, Ron is the best outside defender!"

Hearing this answer, several people were satisfied, and the New York Post reporter was ready to give Gary Payton and Kobe Bryant a meeting, and these two defensive efficiency points did not enter the top 50

Li You wanted to talk a few more words, but found that several people were ready to say goodbye and leave to write the manuscript:

"Don't worry, Lee! We'll help Ron vent! ”
