NBA: No. 1 Forward

Popular recommendation:

"However, the overall strength of the Knicks is too weak. They only have one point, Sickle. As long as we limit other Knicks players, no matter how strong Sickle is, he will be unable to support himself."

"Moreover, their experience in the playoffs is seriously lacking, and it is actually very rough to deal with some unexpected situations. After all, they are a group of young people, and most of them have entered the playoffs at one time. It is not a problem for us to win them !"

"However, next season's Knicks are not easy to say, especially this summer, they will definitely strengthen around sickle, and next season's Knicks will be the scariest!"

"However, now is not the time to think about these things. The most important thing for us now is to win the Eastern Conference finals and advance to the finals!"

Garnett stood up and took a sip of the energy drink.

"Hahaha, I'm just waiting for your words, Kevin!" Pierce laughed and stood up, putting the newspaper aside casually.

What Garnett said just now is not arrogant. The first is that the Celtics are in a very good state recently. The second is that although Garnett has been in a good state recently, compared with himself in 2008, his state has declined significantly. .

The serious injury in the 2008-09 season and with the growth of age, Garnett can clearly feel the decline of his state. This season is their most promising season to win the championship. If this season is not good, it is estimated that the Big Three will be very difficult. There will be better opportunities.

Therefore, Garnett said these words, in fact, to force himself.

In the afternoon, the Celtics team arrived in New York by special plane.

Now, the atmosphere in New York City has reached its peak, and basically all places in New York City are covered with Knicks promotional posters!

This is the first time they have reached the Eastern Conference Finals since 2000, and all fans are extremely satisfied with the performance of the Knicks this year.

Meanwhile, the Madison Square Garden training facility.

"Do you think we can beat the Celtics Big Three?" Millsap said while shooting.

"It's hard to say, this year's Celtics are very strong!" David Lee said

They also watched the entire video of the Celtics vs. Cavaliers. After watching it, everyone basically had a general understanding of the strength of the Big Three, especially the last three games. stunned.

They really didn't expect that the powerful Cavaliers, facing the Celtics' iron-barrel defense, would have no way to break the game.

At the end of the game, James' helpless eyes echoed in everyone's minds for a long time. There are not many helpless teams that can beat James.

Lian Dao has been on the sidelines and has not made any remarks. He clearly knows how strong the Celtics are this year. This is a team that can fight the defending champion for seven games without losing the wind.

Many people say that if Kendrick Perkins, the main center of the Celtics in the last two games, is not injured and does not miss the game, then there is a great possibility that the championship this year will be the Celtics. After the Celtics won G5, they have already led 3:2, which has pushed the Lakers to the edge of a cliff.

However, God failed as people wished. Kendrick Perkins was injured and left the game in the first half of G6. In the end, the Celtics were caught off guard by the Lakers in the away game, and the big score returned to 3:3.

Later, because of the absence of Kendrick Perkins, G7 lost to the Lakers again.

Lian Dao didn't know what would happen when the Knicks played against the Big Three in history, but he was sure that the Eastern Conference Finals would definitely be much more difficult than the previous two rounds!

"Sickle, why don't you talk, don't you want to play against the Big Three the most?" Millsap found that Lian Dao was silent, and was a little curious. Before the game, Lian Dao was the most passionate in the team.

"The Big Three are indeed very strong, but this is New York, and this is Madison Square Garden, a place known as the home court of hell. I believe our strength will scare the Celtics!"

Lian Dao didn't know if he and the Knicks could beat the Celtics, but he was very sure that even if the Celtics won in the end, they would definitely escape death!

Knicks, it is absolutely impossible to let them pass easily!

…

Madison Square Garden was silent.

The Celtics' defense made the Knicks a little unaccustomed to it. The Knicks had no touch on the outside, and under Garnett's defense on the inside, Millsap struggled, especially with Garnett's rich experience in offense and defense. With the blessing of his support, Millsap was a little miserable.

In the positional battle, the Knicks' weak internal strength was infinitely magnified.

In this game, Millsap paid too many fouls in order to defend Garnett.

The Celtics have gone crazy today. In addition to Garnett, Ray Allen is also full of firepower on the outside, hitting 6 three-pointers in the game, but Pierce was only defended by Lian Dao in this game. 9 points.

However, except for Lian Dao's outside line, the Knicks' shooting rate is very low. This game still relied on Lian Dao's performance to cling to the score.

Although the points difference between the two teams is not big, the Knicks still can't catch up with the score gap.

But in this game, the Knicks have never had a second stable scoring point besides Lian Dao.

"Kevin once again stood at the free throw line. His shooting percentage today is very good. After eliminating the Cavaliers 4:2, their goal is the championship. The Knicks did give everyone a surprise this season, but only relying on The current strength of the Knicks, wanting to fight against the current Celtics, to be honest, is a bit unrealistic!" Mike Breen is the commentator of the Eastern Conference.

Garnett made two free throws and he scored 24 points in the game.

At this time, D'Antoni also called a timeout.

At this time, the Knicks trailed the Celtics by 8 points, and the game was about to end with only 21 seconds left.

For the Knicks, the first Eastern Conference finals seems to have seen the end of the Knicks' season.

Lian Dao gasped and looked at the Celtics' iron bucket defense, not only shaking his head secretly, sure enough, the current playoffs are all about defense.

Rajon Rondo, Tony Allen, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Garnett, Rasheed Wallace, Kendrick Perkins... To be honest, the Celtics have too many defensive champions.

Under the defense of Rajon Rondo, Holiday has some doubts about life.

This should be the strongest perimeter defense he has ever experienced.

Especially Rajon Rondo's super long wingspan, Holiday needs to be careful every time he attacks.

In the last 21 seconds, the Knicks finally failed to come back to life.

At the end of the game, the Knicks lost to the Celtics 86:91 at home.

A big defeat at home, a bad start in the Eastern Conference Finals!

"At the end of the game, the dominance of the Big Three is still invincible, especially their defense is unrivaled! Even the Knicks, known for their running and bombing, can't break through the iron barrel formed by them."

"And in this game, the Knicks completely fell into the Celtics' positional battle and did not play their own mobility. This is also the main reason for the Knicks' loss in the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals! If the Knicks want to go They need to play their own rhythm, and hope to see a different Knicks in the next game!" The commentator made the final summary at the end of the game~www.mtlnovel.com~ Lian Dao stood on the court, watching the two Knicks. Comparing the team's data, in terms of rebounds, the Celtics surpassed the Knicks by nearly double. Needless to say inside, the Celtics completely beat the Knicks.

On the perimeter, Ray Allen played very well in this game, and he also scored the Celtics' highest score of 25 points.

Although Pierce played mediocre in this game, he firmly restricted Lian Dao's supplementary defense.

Although the 9 points he scored were not many, they were all scored when Lian Dao was defending, and he was as stable as an old dog. It is not an exaggeration to describe Pierce.

As the fourth year in the league, Rajon Rondo, who has experienced the baptism of the finals, performed very well in this game. The audience scored 14 points under the defense of Holiday, but he caused trouble for the Knicks. Far from scoring, but his organizational skills.

Rajon Rondo definitely contributed to the fluency of the Celtics' offense in the game, especially this guy is only 185cm tall, but his overall view on the court is very good. He can clearly know the running position of each Celtics player and send the ball to the open players.

Ray Allen is one of the biggest beneficiaries of his assists!

In addition, the Celtics' bench lineup also played well, especially in the second quarter when Tony Allen switched to defend Lian Dao, which also annoyed Lian Dao.

Although this guy's scoring is not very good, but his defensive ability is still very strong. He really deserves to be a person who takes "I don't know how to score, but the opponent doesn't want to know!" as his motto.

Sure enough, how can the Celtics, who can fight the defending champion to 7 games without falling behind, be a fuel-efficient lamp.
