Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty-Six: Surprise Soldiers Come Out, Vitality Appears!
The game between the Knicks and the Celtics lasted less than half a minute in the second quarter. Taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, the Celtics made substitution adjustments.
Nate Robinson, who didn't even touch the ball for a few seconds, goes off, and Delonty West goes on!
Rivers once again has a blind cat and a dead mouse.
After West came on the court, he quickly revitalized the Celtics' offense. The Celtics scored five points in a row at the beginning of the second quarter, closing the gap between the two teams on the court.
Lin Yi, who was recovering blood while sitting on the bench, was also attracted by this guard with tattoos on both arms.
Being able to stay in the NBA, Delonte West does not rely on his different aesthetics from ordinary people.
You know, West is a guard with a strong offensive ability. He is accurate with the basket and plays with great aura. Lin Yi remembers that West will be troubled by injuries this season and will not play many games, but he can always contribute every time he plays. Fantastic performance.
Especially in the series between the Celtics and the Heat in the playoffs, "The Emperor" played very steadily. In that round of the series, he could contribute 10.2 points off the bench, which was quite efficient.
However, West's character has restricted his upper limit.
Because West's personality is flammable and explosive, and he suffers from bipolar disorder.
Rivers felt that tonight's game saw the hope of winning again, and then sent Ray Allen.
Rivers made a double hit. West is different from Rondo. He is a guard with strong offensive ability. The Knicks can't deal with him like Rondo, and hold back the gentleman's sword that didn't make a shot in the first quarter. It can be regarded as finding an opportunity.
It just so happened that the Knicks' bench lineup also fell into a scoring drought. Livingston's current CIC is not as stable as the future. As long as Lu Wei can't score points, the Knicks' second team can only rely on defense.
Watching the Celtics keep closing in on the point difference, Knicks coach D'Antoni's old problem was repeated. Fortunately, Lin Yi stopped Lao De in time.
This is just the regular season, and you must be prepared for a fierce battle against a team like the Celtics, because it is difficult for you to eat them in one go.
James and Wade in front of the TV felt that they had found a good way to defeat the enemy, "Look, as long as they can open up space, the Knicks' defense is not without flaws!"
"That's right!"
In the second quarter of the game, Rivers simply let Delonte West play all the time. Don't tell me, West really worked tonight. Garnett, who was back in the battle, also rushed into the iron-blooded team in front of Lin Yi. jump shot.
Beating his chest and stomping his feet, it really depends on the big wolf king!
The veterans of the Celtics clung to the score. After the first half, the Celtics were only 51 to 5 behind the Knicks by two points.
Lin Yi was interviewed during the intermission. When asked about the key to winning tonight, Lin Yi said generously: "We have more physical strength."
...
After the intermission, the Knicks also made a response here, letting Battier go first to guard Pierce in the third quarter.
The Knicks are mainly based on consumption, allowing Gallinari to charge with Lin Yi with full energy in the fourth quarter.
"The Knicks have too many defensive knives." James in front of the TV already wanted to curse, and he was extremely uncomfortable by the Knicks' trick in the opening game.
The Knicks' strikers took turns to defend him, and each of them seemed to have been injected with chicken blood. James had someone on his arm every time he attacked.
And the most important thing is that Stern no longer loves him. In the 10/11 season, James’ free throws in the regular season were nearly 2 times less than before. In the playoffs of the 10/11 season, James had only poor In the 2007/08 and 08/09 seasons, James averaged 12.8 free throws and 14.2 free throws per game in the playoffs!
Wade also has a deep understanding of this point. The Knicks' outside lines are all like animals. This kind of one-on-one battle is very destructive to the Heat, because James and Wade not only have to fight with these defensive experts They were one-on-one, and in turn they had to defend...
The Heat don't rely on offense to win, they rely on strength above defense to play fast break counterattacks,
The Knicks guard became even more flawless after Billups, because Billups averaged only 2 turnovers per game in his career. As a core guard, this is quite rare.
And after coming to the Knicks, Billups averaged only 1.2 turnovers per game. If the opponent does not make mistakes or make mistakes, the Heat's offense will be greatly reduced.
At Madison Square Garden, amidst the cheers of the Knicks fans, Lin Yi and Billups picked and rolled, and Billups swished a cold arrow.
A big heart is a big heart, West is better at attacking than defending, Lin Yi does not believe that the Supreme Emperor can convulse the whole game.
Rivers had no choice but to switch back to Rondo to deal with it. As soon as Ron directed him to play, Billups asked him.
Director Lang was in a hurry and wanted to prove that he had a basket. Director Lang's long-distance two-point shooting percentage in his career was still a respectable 8.8%. Well, this time, Director Lang successfully hit a high jumper.
But Billups will not stick to Rondo just because he makes a shot. If the Celtics bet on Rondo, the Knicks are very welcome.
In the future, when the Warriors play against the Pelicans, even if Director Lang can score points, the Warriors will not defend him. The reason is simple. Does Director Lang dare to throw 10 three-pointers in a game?
One or two got into one or two by luck. Could it be that the hit rate is very high?
Billups seems to be shorting Rondo, but he is actually preventing Rondo from getting assists. Ron can't make a breakthrough. Are the Celtics counting on Ray Allen and Pierce to break through?
For the Knicks, Battier also hit 2 consecutive top arc three-pointers.
Battier averaged only 5.9 points per game in the Knicks this season, but this does not mean that Battier is dead. When Lin Yi watched the game before, after the Yao-Mike combination attracted double-teams, as long as he passed to Battier, Lin Yi would I think this ball has it.
Battier has a 8.4% three-point shooting rate in his career. In the 12/1 season with the Heat, he even shot 4% shooting rate, averaging 1.9 three-pointers per game.
Rivers saw the widening point difference between the two teams, so he could only call a timeout to instill a wave of chicken soup for the soul.
"The Knicks' bench is also very strong." James said with emotion.
James feels that his three views have been greatly impacted. Why can the Knicks always turn waste into treasure, and whether he is in the Cavaliers or the Heat, he always feels that his teammates are not playing at the level they should be?
Could it be the coach?
James can only think so. After all, D'Antoni is really good at turning waste into treasure. Dior and Lagabel completed their transformation in his hands.
Back from the timeout, the old Celtics broke out again.
If there is an old man in a family, if there is a treasure, it is not without reason that these veterans can maintain their competitiveness at such a long age.
Pierce was embarrassed, and Ray Allen also made a three-pointer in front of Allen of the Knicks.
Garnett clung to Lin Yi in defense. After the third quarter, the Celtics chased the score to 78-85.
"What a bunch of grueling old guys!" Lin Yi had a deep understanding of this after last year's game, but seeing the panting Big Wolf King, Lin Yi knew that his strong attack in the third quarter had paid off. Effect.
Lin Yi and D'Antoni, the master and apprentice, smiled at each other. It's time to reap the game.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Lin Yi did not stop. He brought Gallinari, Wilson Chandler, Finsen, and Lu Wei to the field.
One big with four little ones!
