NBA: No. 1 Forward

Popular recommendation:

In this game, Lian Dao also scored 38 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists. Most of Lian Dao's points were based on mid-range shots and three-pointers from the outside. Nate and the "two fat" Kendrick Perkins who are known for their defense are inside, and it is not easy for Lian Dao to score at the basket.

Although his score is still 30+, but the Knicks lost the game at home, which also makes Lian Dao a little reconciled.

In addition to Lian Dao, David Lee scored 12 points and 8 rebounds, Millsap scored 8 points and 10 rebounds, Holiday only scored 4 points and 5 assists in the game, and Gallinari scored 6 points.

After reading the data, Lian Dao also sighed and walked into the locker room silently.

Although the fans of Madison Square Garden had a premonition of the team's failure for a long time, when the game really ended, they were still very disappointed. This is the first time that the Knicks lost in the first game of the playoffs. .

The Celtics players did not celebrate too much in the away game. After all, they also witnessed the madness of Madison Square Garden Hell at home today, especially the fans in the front row. The trash talking basically did not stop throughout the game.

Fortunately, they have felt this situation for a long time, and have not received too much interference from the away game.

After all, it is not only Madison Square Garden that can be called the home of hell, but also TD North Shore Garden Arena!

…

The Celtics in the visiting team's locker room are celebrating winning G1, but in the home team's locker room, the Knicks players are silent.

This is the weakest defeat they have encountered this season. All Knicks players, including Lian Dao, really know what the defensive strength of the Eastern Conference Finals is. The performance of this game is also for all players. I poured a basin of cold water.

Sweeping the Bucks 4:0 and eliminating the Magic 4:2 has made many players feel arrogant.

Especially after the first round of sweeping and promotion, many players in the daily training started not to be serious, but after the second round of 4:2 elimination of the Magic, this phenomenon became even more successful, and the loss of this game also made many Players recognize the reality, they are not yet invincible.

"I have a lot of responsibility for this game. After the game against Howard in the Eastern Conference semifinals, I was overconfident and underestimated my opponent! Moreover, my defense in this game was not particularly good, making Garnett too easy Already!" Millsap clenched his fist and said first.

Although Millsap did not completely restrict Howard in the semifinals, he also caused Howard to suffer a lot in the first few games. Playing against the league's top centers caused Millsap's mentality to change a lot. Great change, he became more confident, but his confidence was a bit too much.

He even thinks that since Howard can cause trouble, it is natural to defend a 33-year-old Garnett who has suffered serious injuries.

"I should also take responsibility, I let Ray Allen score too easily!" At this time, Wilson Chandler also stood up and said.

"Me too..." Holiday also stood up.

"Hey, hey, hey, guys!" D'Antoni stood up and clapped his hands, "I know we messed up this game, but did we really lose it completely? This round of the series has just begun. We are inexperienced, we have a lot of problems, this is normal, we will correct it in the future, this shows that we still have room for improvement, we can do better!"

"So, boys, don't be so depressed, and don't be discouraged. The next game will still be our home game. We will defend our honor at home. We will use a victory to tell the group of Celtic players who are invincible, The Knicks aren't down yet!"

In the end, D'Antoni stood up. At this time, the Knicks players were eager to try one by one, as if they wanted to start the G2 game immediately, they wanted to play immediately and kill the Celtics.

Lian Dao also came back to his senses at this time, he thought that nothing would hit him in two lifetimes, but the defeat in the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals hit Lian Dao's self-confidence, although he didn't want to admit it, but returned The silence in the locker room is a bit unlike the style of the team boss.

At this time, Lian Dao was also awakened by D'Antoni's words.

That's right, this is G1. What's wrong with me? Could it be that losing a game has such a big impact on me?

I haven't lost yet, the Knicks still have a chance!

"Yes, we will use the victory in G2 to let everyone who is not optimistic about the Knicks know that we are not down yet, we are still fighting!" Lian Dao also stood up at this time and said.

"Get rid of them!"

"Get rid of them!"

"Get rid of them!"

When many people outside thought that the Knicks might scare the Celtics, however, this group of undefeated Xiaoqiang was even more excited.

At the press conference after the game, Lian Dao was also asked by the reporter how to evaluate the failure of the game.

Lian Dao's answer made all the reporters at the scene feel strange and surprised.

"Failure will only inspire a stronger Knicks, Bostonians, get ready to face an even stronger Knicks!"

Fuck, is that what a losing team should say?

I don't know, but I thought you guys were the winners of G1!

However, these words sound really uplifting, and they are also really tough!

Looking at the reporters discussing a lot below, Lian Dao also left the press conference silently.

Now that the words have been spoken, G2 needs to show the Celtics something new!

At the end of the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Celtics led the Knicks 1-0.

If you add the last round, the Celtics have already won four consecutive playoff games.

Being able to win four consecutive victories in the tragic playoffs already shows the strength of the Celtics.

The call for the Celtics to become the favorite to win the championship is also getting louder and louder. Now many media are analyzing the Celtics Big Three. Many media even believe that the strength of the Celtics is higher than that of the defending champion Lakers.

The Big Three looked at the media reports, not to mention how happy they were. Even Garnett felt at this time that if it hadn’t been for his own injury last year that caused him to be reimbursed for the season, the team’s defense had a big problem. Maybe, now Kyle The Specialist has already won two consecutive championships.

They should be heading towards the three consecutive championships now!

In the 2007-2008 season, the Celtics won the championship not because of the sharp offense of the Big Three, but because of their dominant defense.

That season, the Celtics were the best team in the league in limiting opponents' 3-point shooting and overall shooting before they stifled opponents with offense.

The Celtics' defense is so strong because they believe in team defense, and the defensive chain formed by the whole team is indeed watertight.

This is also the key to why Posey left the Hornets and PJ Brown retired without causing a fatal blow to the team~www.mtlnovel.com~Because they are just an ordinary link in the defensive chain, removing them will not hurt the team bone.

However, Garnett is different. The Wolf King is one of the team's offensive cores and the most important link in the team's defensive chain.

Garnett's absence due to injury immediately shattered the team's defense. In the Eastern Conference semifinals, they fell short because they couldn't defend the Magic's three-pointer.

The Celtics seemed to lose on offense last season, but they actually lost on the defensive end.

What is gratifying for the Celtics is that after Garnett was injured last season, they played enough resilience, and the young people even showed their confidence. This is also the reason why the Celtics can become a strong contender for the championship. One big reason.

Garnett was absent due to injury, and there was mourning everywhere, and the Celtics were immediately underestimated by three points.

However, the Bostonians responded with concrete action.

In the first round of the playoffs, the Celtics and the Bulls fought 7 games inextricably, and the scene was absolutely epic; they even fought the Magic to death in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Even though they fell short at the last moment, their resilience was evident. superior.

Toughness is important, but the fundamental guarantee for the Celtics to go so far is strength, especially the maturity of young people: Rondo has three triple-doubles in 14 playoff games, Perkins and Davis' inside The combination should not be underestimated. They even made Howard lose face, and the big baby even made a lore in a game.

Of course, the performance of young people such as House is also completely remarkable. These recruits have matured after going through hardships, and they can already provide stable and powerful help to the Big Three.
