Chapter 219: There is 1 kind of madness, which belongs to Lian Dao
Popular recommendation:
After Lian Dao came off the field in the third quarter, he didn't play again.
The Bucks allowed Jennings to lead the bench in the fourth quarter, which also narrowed the point difference.
At the end of the game, the Knicks scored 129:100, and G2 defeated the Bucks again.
The big score of the series is 2:0.
The Knicks currently have two home games against the Bucks by a big score, especially in these two games, the Knicks scored in the game, it seems that it is not like the playoffs.
125 in the first game and 129 in the second game. In both games, the Knicks scored more than 120.
This scoring ability gives all fans an illusion, as if the Knicks are playing the regular season.
In fact, this is the style of the Knicks. What D'Antoni is best at is offense. In the team coached by D'Antoni, it is not difficult to score more than 100 points.
The only difficulty is defense, but D'Antoni cannot be blamed for this, because in the team he coaches, few core players have excellent defense.
Including Stephen Nash of the Suns, Carmelo Anthony in history, and Harden later.
The leading stars he coached have more or less problems on the defensive end.
If a leading star doesn't pay attention to defense, it is doomed that other members of the team will not really care about defense.
Because the team's core players represent the team's style.
Among the leading players coached by D'Antoni, many times he is a defensive colander.
At this time, if he asks his teammates to do a good job of defense, it will be very unconvincing.
However, Lian Dao is different. He is very fond of the team's defense. At the same time, he also leads by example and does his every defense well.
This kind of physical practice of the team boss can well motivate all players.
At the same time, they are also convinced of Lian Dao and are willing to do their best to defend.
…
As soon as the game was over, the Bucks immediately returned to the locker room. Everyone was depressed and grim.
Lost both away games!
And lost without any resistance.
This is not just as simple as losing. The sense of powerlessness that the Bucks face the Knicks is the most terrifying.
No matter how you improve your tactics, how you double-team Lian Dao, it will be useless, there is just no way to win.
The Knicks have an absolute advantage in both games.
This point of Lian Dao is still something they have no way to limit. Originally, the other Knicks players were not in good condition in this game. As long as Lian Dao is restrained, they can win the game.
The Bucks did indeed do this, double-teaming, or even three-teaming, but this game still allowed him to play the same stats as Michael Jordan.
The Bucks can only pin their hopes on G3.
G3 is a crucial battle for both sides. As long as the Knicks win G3, the Knicks have basically moved towards the second round of the series with one foot.
And if the Bucks win G3, then with the blessing of home court advantage, they may not be able to tie the big score.
But if the Bucks lose Game 3, the Bucks have one foot into their holiday life.
On the Knicks side, they simply celebrated. After all, it was only G2. Even if they won the first round of the series, in Lian Dao's opinion, there was no need to celebrate too much.
Lian Dao is different from the rest of the Knicks. Everyone in the Knicks believes that reaching the playoffs this season has already exceeded their goals.
As for every game they win in the playoffs, they make money.
Lian Dao didn't want to play in the first round or the second round of the playoffs. He wanted to touch the golden O'Brien Cup, which represented the highest honor, although he knew that it was not easy, or that it was not realistic.
But they have all made it to the playoffs, how many people want to be the second place?
"sickle, although we still want to see you play at home, but in the first round, we don't want to see you at Madison Square Garden."
"Sickle, go, you are the **** of war in New York, you will lead the Knicks to defeat all opponents!"
"Sweeping, we believe in you!"
The audience kept shouting. When the Knicks led by 44 points in this game, the fans' ambitions were no longer just the first round of the playoffs.
They also want to follow the Knicks to a higher stage and see a different scenery!
The existence of Lian Dao is a bug. Even though all teams put his danger level at a very high level, they still underestimated Lian Dao's lethality.
The fans don't know now, under what circumstances will Lian Dao be restricted.
In other words, no one can restrain Lian Dao, the only one who can restrain him is himself!
"40+ in the first show, 60+ in the second game, he is the **** of war in New York!"
"If it is said that after the regular season, some people still doubt that he is a superstar, then after these two games, I believe that no one will doubt it again."
"There is a kind of madness that belongs to Lian Dao!"
"..."
If many people thought the 49+ in the first game was an accident, then everyone in the second game no longer regarded Lian Dao as an accident.
Especially in this game, when the team fell into a scoring shortage, Lian Dao resolutely stood up and scored 38 points in a single quarter.
Lian Dao's performance in this game was Michael Jordan in the second game of the first round of the 1986 playoffs.
…
After the simple celebration, Lian Dao accepted an interview with CCTV commentator Yu Jia on the sidelines.
It's just that during his interview, a group of Knicks teammates kept coming to interrupt!
Lian Dao also let out a helpless smile about this.
Millsap and Gallinari are always posing for the camera in all kinds of weird and funny poses.
This allowed domestic audiences to see Lian Dao's funny teammate.
Lian Dao laughed every time because of their constant weird poses.
Therefore, Lian Dao can only get rid of these two funny comparisons first, and the interview will really return to normal.
Yu Jia is also an old friend, so the interview is not so rigid.
"The atmosphere of the Knicks is really good, and you guys are full of endless fun off the court." Yu Jia couldn't help laughing when she thought of Millsap and Gallinari just now.
"Haha, in fact, don't take NBA players seriously. We are all ordinary people. When there is no game, we often joke and play around." Lian Dao was a little embarrassed. image is ruined.
"We all know that you scored 62 points before the third quarter was over. Why didn't you choose to break Michael Jordan's single-game scoring record in the playoffs? We all know you have this ability and there is time in the game to let You are done." Yu Jia cut to the point.
"As you said, I have this strength, and it doesn't really matter whether I break through or not~www.mtlnovel.com~ And we had already established a big score advantage at that time, besides, this is just the result of my rookie season playoffs. It's just the second game, I believe there will be opportunities in the future." Lian Dao said.
Yu Jia nodded and asked again: "Then will you score 60+ in the next game like this one?"
"Compared with personal data, I care more about the team's victory. If the team can win, I don't care how many points I can get."
…
At the post-match press conference.
The head coach of the Bucks, Scott Skiles, was also convinced by Lian Dao: "We didn't limit Sickle, he was the leader of the victory in this game, especially he dominated the two consecutive games , We have used many methods, but still can't restrain him, but this does not mean that I will admit defeat, we still have two home games, we will find a way to restrain Sickle!"
The other members of the Bucks are also ready to fight to the death.
Brandon Giannis: "We still have a chance. When we get back to the home court, we will find a way to win!"
John Salmons: "We will make changes in the next game!"
John Salmons was severely limited in these two games. As a three-point fort on the outside, he actually didn't play much role, especially Chandler's focus was on defending John Salmons. Above Mons, which makes it very difficult for John Salmons to make every shot.
Among the Knicks' substitutes, Larry Hughes has rich defensive experience. John Salmons did not score more than 5 points in the two games.
This is far from his average of 15.6 points per game in the regular season.
