On May 4, the TD North Shore Garden Arena, in the horror atmosphere created by the Celtics fans, the Knicks and the Celtics Eastern Conference semi-final second game officially opened.
"The Knicks lost the first game, Charles. How do you think they will adjust this game?" Kenny Smith glanced at Barkley next to him, he was curious, how can Barkley now come to milk the Knicks?
"I think the Knicks should do a good job of defense first. Their first game of defense is not like the level of defense that a team in the semifinals should have." Barkley said.
In fact, Barkley didn't say anything, that is, he thought that if Lin Yi could not adjust his state in time, this Knicks would be difficult to go far.
Boy, you are the leader of this Knicks!
"Charles, in an interview before the game, Lin once said that he would shoot 50 times in this game, what do you think?" Kenny Smith threw another question to Barkley.
Barkley shook his head. "No one will take this seriously, Kenny, I think this is Lin's response to people saying he was on the last Tietie, don't forget, this kid is a member of the 180 club."
TD North Shore Garden Arena, the starting list of the two teams in the second game is also given.
Celtics: Perkins, Garnett, Pierce, Ray Allen, Rondo.
Knicks: Lin Yi, David Lee, Gallinari, Chandler, Douglas.
Like the first game, Lin Yi jumped to the ball easily.
The fans at the scene blew a boo, and the Knicks were still Lin Yilai's first attack.
It was Garnett who guarded him.
In fact, Lin Yi is not very afraid of the old wolf king. Garnett's moving pace is no longer than that year, but this Celtic defense is not simple.
Garnett is a man-to-man, and the rest of the Green Army is more like a zone defense. If he breaks in, the Celtics will switch in time. This is what Rivers carefully arranged for the Knicks. Tactics.
For defense, Rivers still has something.
So Lin Yi decisively called the pick-and-roll, and his purpose of calling the pick-and-roll was not to create a misalignment, but rather to catch the moment of the pick-and-roll and attack the Celtics' defense line.
If the Celtics want to prevent pick-and-roll, they will form a two-for-two area on Lin Yi's side. If Lin Yi enters at this time and the Celtics are making up the defense, their remaining rotation is second-to-three. .
The moment David Lee came to the pick and roll, Lin Yi suddenly started to speed.
He pinched between Garnett and Perkins and squeezed flexibly!
Pierce decisively came to make up the defense, Lin Yi could actually pass the ball.
But he did not pass.
Because, just like Barkley said, he is the leader of the Knicks. Rondo and Ray Allen have a fast rotation speed, and it really can give the Celtics time to retreat.
So Lin Yi leaned on Pierce who came in for defense and picked the basket with his left hand.
Pierce wasn't pushed out, but he didn't get Lin Yi, Lin Yi scored successfully.
The sideline Celtics coach Rivers is very satisfied with the Celtics' defense, because as long as Lin Yi is not allowed to score easily, Rivers will not naively think that the Celtics can prevent death every game. Lin Yi.
"It really hit me as James ..." Lin Yi couldn't help but defam.
It looks like the Celtics' defense is to limit Lin Yi.
It's really about limiting other Knicks players.
Lin Yi did not play well in the first battle, which is the reason for the state.
But the other Knicks players didn't play well because the Celtics were too deadly.
Lin Yi remembers very clearly that the defensive intensity of the finals in the 09/10 season is quite high, so to challenge this green army, he must overcome the difficulties and dispatch his teammates.
"Lin made the first attack very tough." Barkley felt that he could finally breathe as Lin Mi.
On the court, the Celtics launched an attack. Just as Rondo was preparing to organize, he suddenly found that Douglas had deliberately taken three steps back ...
Rondo: "..."
In the first game, the Knicks collapsed too quickly, so many black technologies did not have enough time. In this game, the Knicks carefully prepared a big move.
After the first round of the duel, the Knicks players were not so nervous, and Rondo was not upset after being vented. He passed the ball to Pierce singles.
Rivers' offensive tactics are not so complicated, reducing errors is the king. Pierce's backs are one of the main means for the Celtics to hold their feet.
Your uncle relied on the "second battalion commander", and his big **** almost pushed Gallinari back, but when Pierce was about to turn around to play a layup, Gallinari fouled and committed it resolutely Give Pierce two plus one.
When Pierce went to the free throw line, fans at the scene also cheered MVP.
In fact, the controversy about who the Big Three is at the beginning is not small, but after the finals staged the return of the king and led the Green Army to win the championship, Celtics fans still believe in Pierce every critical moment.
Garnett's status has begun to decline. In addition to the iron blood this season, the Wolf King has contributed the most to active pick-and-rolls and high jumpers.
It's already hard for him to play like he was at his peak.
Pierce made two free throws, the score on the court was rewritten to 2 to 2.
The Knicks' second attack was still organized by Lin Yilai. Lin Yi smartly pulled out after making a Crossover outside.
Garnett slipped up and couldn't cover it, Lin Yi's feel tonight was obviously better than the last one, hey!
It was no longer the embarrassing ironing.
At 4-2, the Knicks led by two points away.
On the Celtics side, Rondo and Garnett were pick-and-rolls. Lin Yi did not change the defense, but let Rondo burst in. Just as Rondo was preparing to make a layup, Douglas came from behind him. The ball caps together.
Douglas' moves seemed large, but they were really just to not give Rondo two plus one.
The playoffs have a stronger physical confrontation, and the referee just blew an ordinary layup foul.
Rondo hits the free throw line.
At this point, Lin Yi and D'Antoni on the sidelines made a 2 gesture.
D'Antoni knew, and Milicic was ready to warm up.
Rondo made 1 of 2 free throws and the score became 4 to 3.
In the first quarter, the two sides played significantly more fiercely than in the first game. As long as the Celtics had an absolute chance, the Knicks frequently committed fouls. On the Knicks side, Lin Yi switched to two consecutive singles failures Began to use breakthrough points to create opportunities.
With 7 minutes and 11 seconds left in the first quarter, the Knicks first requested a timeout.
The score at this time was only 9 to 8.
Both teams are playing defense tonight.
"We have four offenses here," Lin Yi said to D'Antoni while resting on the bench.
The old man nodded. "Then I will leave it to you."
The old German put his hands on the shoulders of Milicic and Dodge Norris.
The eyes of the two men were fierce and murderous.
Pausing back, people were surprised to find ...
Lin Yi is sitting on the bench?
WHAT_ARE_YOU_ What is it?
"What's the Knicks trying to do?" Exclaimed Kenny Smith ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Buckley also stunned ... this is the playoffs! The Knicks let the main force go to rest shortly after the opening?
That's right, just let Lin Yi come down to rest.
D'Antoni analyzed with Lin Yi after the first game. The Celtics' backup lineup Lin Yi attacked smoothly, so knowing that Lin Yi would get a lot of rest time in the first quarter, Lin Yi played as soon as he came up. Extra fierce.
This is to not waste any physical energy.
Of course, in addition to letting Lin Yi rest, D'Antoni also carefully prepared gifts for the Celtics in the first quarter.
Just as Rondo had just dribbled halfway, Dodge Norris, who had just been replaced by the Knicks, suddenly hugged him with a smile.
Rondo looked aghast.
"Shark tactics?" Rivers almost didn't swear.
"Accurately, it's hacking tactics!" Lin Yi and D'Antoni smiled.
Rondo's free throw percentage in the playoffs is about 50%. Such a good opportunity to cut people, don't use it for nothing!
Of course, if Rivers replaced Rondo, the Knicks could continue to cut Perkins.
Perkins' average free throw shooting rate is also average, 50% or 60%.
The reason for the Knicks doing this is very simple. The game has become fragmented. Even if you make a penalty, it doesn't matter. The Knicks have to find a way to drag and consume.
Don't make the Celtics comfortable, give Lin Yi a rest time!
In this way, Lin Yi could force the Celtics to return to the starting lineup with the Knicks' backup lineup in the second quarter.
Drag and consume.
That's the main task of the Knicks tonight!
...
