NBA: No. 1 Forward

, the fastest update NBA: the latest chapter of the No. 1 forward!

At the critical moment, which team is more calm and stable, which team can have the last laugh.

In the end, the Knicks beat the Celtics by 93:84 in the away game, only 9 points away, and the big score in the semifinals became 3:0!

This time, the Celtics are really on the edge of a cliff, and they are only one step away from being eliminated.

The Knicks also got a match point in the semifinals.

…

At Madison Square Garden, many fans held up their support cards, some fans waved huge Knicks team flags, some fans shouted to cheer for the team...there was a lively scene everywhere.

In the past, this situation often occurred in Madison Garden. It was before 2000, when the Knicks were not recognized as a bad team in the league. The enthusiasm of New York fans was no less than that of fans of any team in the league. .

But after entering the 2000s, the enthusiasm of the Knicks fans is gradually being wiped out in the team's year after year of losses. The chaos of the Knicks management makes New York fans look forward to disappointment every year.

Over time, fans in this city gradually got used to the team's losses, and at the same time no longer had any expectations for the team.

It wasn't until last season that the enthusiasm of Knicks fans was gradually awakened and ignited.

Before the arrival of Lian Dao, all the Knicks fans did not believe that they could reach the Eastern Conference Finals, and they may reach the Eastern Conference Finals for two consecutive years soon.

At this time, the big score in the semi-finals has come to 3:1.

The Grizzlies only won one game in two away games. In G4, the Celtics, who had been silent for three games, ushered in a big explosion.

Of course, in addition to this, the Knicks' carelessness was also the reason for this G4 defeat.

It can only be said that in the fourth game, the Celtics are better and more delicate than the Knicks in handling details.

Of course, an away loss did not affect the Knicks' determination to advance. After they return to the home court, they are bound to eliminate the Celtics in G5 at home.

Unlike last season, the Knicks have not lost at home so far this season!

Lian Dao received a pass from outside the three-point line, and Pierce's defense is no longer so difficult for Lian Dao to get rid of.

This is not because Pierce's strength has weakened. Of course, there is also a reason for this. After all, as the game progresses, Pierce's physical fitness cannot be as good as Lian Dao's.

But what’s more, Lian Dao has adapted to Pierce’s defensive strength, learned experience from Pierce’s defense, and can continue to find Pierce’s defensive loopholes. This is the main reason why Lian Dao can easily get rid of Pierce now.

Lian Dao was dribbling the ball, his eyes were constantly inspecting the position on the court, and Pierce kept moving his feet. Now when he saw Lian Dao holding the ball, he felt a little nervous.

If we talk about Lian Dao's simple skill show, Pierce is not too worried. After all, Pierce, who is in a kaleidoscope of offensive positions, knows how to defend if he knows how to fight like this.

However, Lian Dao's breakthroughs often depend on speed, and the body directly eats hard, which makes the 33-year-old Pierce unbearable.

And behind Pierce, Garnett, who was standing near the free throw line, was ready, waiting to help defend Lian Dao.

The Celtics' defense is one layer after another. O'Neal in the interior is also determined not to leave the basket too far, and is always ready to defend the basket.

The Celtics would rather shrink the basket and selectively let go of other Knicks players than let Lian Dao score easily.

Lian Dao was not obsessed with scoring by himself, and gestured to Stoudemire. Stoudemire immediately came to a high position to cover Lian Dao, and then directly broke through the basket.

Under the care of Pierce and Garnett, two All-Star forwards, Lian Dao went directly to the basket, the purpose is to attract Garnett with all his strength, so as to create better shooting opportunities for his teammates.

Passing the ball is actually a very deep knowledge, not to say that you can pass the ball just by attracting double-teams.

You have to pay attention to grasping the timing. Sometimes passing the ball early may cause the double-teamer to give up the double-team and complete the defense in time.

If the pass is passed late, it is very likely that you will face layers of double-teaming. The position is too deep, making the pass too difficult. If you cannot find a suitable opportunity, you will force the pass and be intercepted by the opponent.

Of course, for Lian Dao, passing the ball in double-teams has never been too difficult.

His mind is like a three-dimensional coordinate map. He can always remember the running position of his teammates and where they are. This is the vision, which is a must-have skill for a top passing master.

After reaching the basket, Lian Dao took off and faked a layup, but in the air, he retrieved the basketball in time, and then threw the basketball from Garnett's armpit to behind him.

At this time, Stoudemire, who is in the middle distance, has been completely emptied.

Lian Dao has achieved the goal of this breakthrough, and now his passing threat has reached its maximum.

Stoudemire did not disappoint Lian Dao's pass. His state in this game is still very good, and his shooting percentage is much better than the previous game.

This time, Stoudemire, who was absolutely open, made a mid-range shot and made a steady hit.

"Shet!" Rivers slammed the tactical board on the bench again. The faces of the Celtic players on the bench were ashen. They knew that this game might be their last playoff game this season. game.

The Celtics lack players who can limit Lian Dao one-on-one.

If Garnett does not assist in the defense, Lian Dao will pass Pierce directly and complete the goal.

But when Garnett assisted in the defense, Lian Dao's pass was really like a soft knife, slicing the Celtics' flesh bit by bit.

Cutting flesh with a blunt knife is really too painful!

Lian Dao... Throughout the semifinals, Lian Dao was like a nightmare that the Celtics could not get rid of.

After Stoudemire scored in the mid-range shot, he scored 23 points in this field.

At the same time, there are still two minutes and thirty-two seconds left before the end of the game, and the Celtics are currently 12 points behind the Knicks.

"The Celtics have no chance. The Knicks are not prepared to give the Celtics a chance to play Game 6 today. From the beginning of this game, the Knicks' defensive strength is not comparable to the previous game."

"So throughout the game, the Celtics' scoring efficiency was pitifully low. So far, the entire Celtics team has only shot 40.7%. This means that it is not a Celtic player who is inefficient, but Most Celtics shoot very low!"

"In the last game, Paul Pierce made 9 of 15 shots and scored 26 points, but in this game Paul made 3 of 12 shots. Garnett's efficiency was not very high, he made 6 of 13 shots and his shooting percentage was only 46.2%. "

"In the entire Celtics, only Ray Allen continued the state of the previous game. Currently, he made 6 of 12 shots and 5 of 10 three-pointers. He scored 18 points and 3 rebounds, the highest since this round of the series. .”

"According to rumors, Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo were dissatisfied with each other. In the third game, the two even had a quarrel directly on the court. However, from the performance of Ray Allen in these two games, Ray Allen's scoring ability from beyond the three-point line is still an indispensable force for the Celtics!"

Barkley and Kenny Smith also know that this game is the last dance of the Celtics in the playoffs.

No one thought that the Celtics, the hottest Big Three in the league, would decline so quickly, but more people did not expect that the Knicks, the worst in the East, would rise so quickly.

It seems like a blink of an eye~www.mtl.com~ The sea has changed!

In fact, was the Celtics' performance in the semifinals really that bad?

It's not very bad. Although Rondo's reason for the third game caused the Celtics to lose away, but looking at the other four games, the Celtics performed really well.

Garnett’s outburst in the first game seemed like a dream of returning to the peak, and the away game almost wiped out the advantage that the Knicks had played; in the second game, Jeff Green and Paul Pierce broke out alternately, and Pierce even scored 30+ Score.

Not to mention the fourth game, the Celtics bottomed out and rebounded, and the Celtics Big Three seemed to be dreaming back to 2008.

The Celtics also played their team performance in the fifth game.

However, in the playoffs, one mountain is higher than the other. Many people feel that the Celtics have played well enough, but there are always teams that play better than them, with more delicate grasp of details and more control over some mistakes. rigorous.
