Chapter 368 0370: [People can't be too arrogant]

When Nate Robinson can shoot TJ Ford, TJ Ford is even more miserable.

At the same time, the Toronto Raptors' high third in the Eastern Conference also appears to be in jeopardy. Even the commentators dare not say that the Raptors still have a chance to win this series.

"Maybe it's because the Raptors are not as strong as everyone imagined, and the Knicks are not as weak as imagined." Earl Johnson can only use this answer to explain.

What else can I say.

Although the Raptors stabilized the situation in the middle of the second quarter... Nate Robinson's three-axes became sluggish after six minutes of mighty power.

However, it doesn't matter.

With Bruce Lee on the field again, and increased horsepower, the execution of the run and bomb.Quentin Richardson, Jeff Reese, David Lee, and Channing Frye are surrounded by the four major shooters. The super fast lineup with four stars instantly brought a refreshing feeling to the Toronto Raptors in the cold wind: they can still be beaten to death like this.

Sam Mitchell really didn't expect that.

The Knicks actually didn't play Phoenix's seven-second offense, but played a five-second offense at Li Zhen's monstrous speed.

He seems to have the eyes of Medusa, whoever stares at him will be confused.

Jose Calderon originally wanted to take over the banner of TJ Ford and become famous for defending Li Zhen in the first battle.But I didn't expect Li Zhen tonight to be slippery, and he twisted his fingers as soon as he touched him. When his own strength did not surpass Li Zhen by a level, he could not restrain him... After all, he is just an ordinary second-year student.

The half-time whistle blew.

69: 49.

The Knicks' lead in the away game expanded to 20 points.

Moreover, the data of 69 points in the half is already the most in the playoffs in recent years.

In this era, [-] points at halftime is considered a high score, especially in the playoffs, where the final total score is around [-] or [-] points, and [-] points is not uncommon.

As a result, the Knicks scored 69 at halftime.

"We all underestimated the Knicks' offensive firepower and Bruce Lee's ability as a commander." Earl Johnson gave such a comment during the intermission.

Kenny Smith also said half ironically and half jokingly: "Who would have thought that Isaiah Thomas took out so many rubbish contracts and finally came up with a crazy running lineup? I can guarantee that he definitely didn't think so before. He doesn't even know why the Knicks are so powerful now!"

Charles agrees.He doesn't have much respect for the former veteran: "Isaiah Thomas has only made one right choice in so many years, but this choice offsets all his previous stupidity."

"Especially...he actually cheated Jerry West in this deal, which makes people extremely confused about his IQ. Even now, Knicks fans don't know whether to continue to criticize him or praise him. But it is worth mentioning that James Dolan actually expressed that he would give him another long-term contract. This is obviously an important credit for rewarding him in signings."

Barkley became more and more angry: "Sometimes, you have to admit that some ignorant guys can reach the pinnacle of life by good luck."

This ironic remark certainly did not fall into the ears of Isaiah Thomas.

Thomas didn't think he was just lucky.

In fact, his draft vision has been pretty good.He picked Damon Stoudemire, Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady, and New York's low-ranking rookies.He just has little coaching talent and is not good at managing the locker room.

But now, neither of these points is a problem.

Because Bruce started discussing tactical details with the assistant coaches.

As for the locker room management, Stephen Marbury is also using his oriental philosophy to gather together. He only needs to pull Swift aside alone, and teach some court details by hand.

Nobody's job is easier than his.

Easy to the visiting team locker room and even started to put up the blues blues.

This sounds very absurd. Logically speaking, with the level of chaos in the Knicks locker room in the media half a year ago, shouldn’t you be listening to all kinds of hardcore rap, and by the way, in the smog, a few villainous guys took out guns and ammunition to describe their indescribable plot last night?

But the reality is like this, the Knicks locker room is now calm like an unfathomable pool of water.

Nobody even wanted to make a lot of noise.

The Buddhist style makes people think that there are twenty Tim Duncans in the locker room.

The quiet break quickly passed and the game resumed, although many fans who went outside for air hadn't returned.

Sam Mitchell used a head of state roar in the locker room to tell his players how dangerous the team has reached, and if they can't defend this home victory, the team will become the laughing stock of the world.

His motivation has indeed brought about positive changes in the team. Their defense is stronger and their running is very fast.

But these... can't change the situation of the game at all.

The Raptors have to face their problem: they don't have an outside core, an outside core who can fight hard and maintain the rhythm of offense and defense.

They can only pin their offense on Chris Bosh.

The defeat of the Dallas Mavericks in the finals last year has proved that in the NBA playoffs, even a power forward with perfect shooting skills cannot control the situation of the game.

Chris Bosh is not one or two points worse than the peak Nowitzki.

The overall lineup and offensive level of the Toronto Raptors are also very different from those of the Mavericks.

In this situation, it is difficult for them to reverse the situation.

They don't even have a super scorer who can get the ball into the Knicks' penalty area and make a killing, even if ... the Knicks' defense in the penalty area is as fluffy as bread crumbs.

And most importantly, they have nothing to do with Li Zhen.

Regardless of whether Li Zhen has the ball or holds the ball.

The double-team defense that proved to be useful in the previous game lost its effect tonight, and Li Zhen's off-ball CS ability that suddenly appeared in this game accurately grasped their weakness, plus David Lee, Channing Frye, and Quentin Richardson's three anti-aircraft fortresses.

Even if Sam Mitchell gets the best head coach, there is no more way to stop it.

Before the end of the third quarter, Kenny Smith began to blow the suona for them, announcing their end of life: "Perhaps, the Toronto Raptors, who were full of confidence before the game, should worry about whether they will be swept. From the current situation, they have nothing to do with the Knicks' advantages, and their advantages cannot really penetrate the Knicks' disadvantages."

"I think ... the Knicks are going to be the first team in the league to play below the gram."

Kenny Smith emphasized.

If the Raptors have not lost two consecutive home games, then at Madison Gardens, they are even less likely to please.

You know... before Isaiah Thomas was in charge of the Knicks, Madison Garden was known as an iron-blooded home court, and New York fans were also bloody. Otherwise, Jeff Van Gundy wouldn't have had to hold Mourning's thigh and be used as a mop.

In fact, before Kenny Smith sang a sad elegy for Toronto, the New York fans in front of the TV had already fallen into the joy that couldn't be added.

If the first game is still a fluke.

Then this game is completely crushing.

Originally, they were led by the Toronto media and the ESPN expert group, thinking that the Foxes' state in this game would be affected by Anne Hathaway. As a result, Bruce played to a higher level in this game. He not only completed the inhumane comprehensive crushing of TJ Ford, but also gave a strong answer to the problem that was targeted by the Spaniard's defense in the last game.

He completely blasted Toronto's defense, leading the team to complete a mighty sweeping frenzy with a brand-new running and bombing posture.

What more is there to say, long live Bruce!

This kind of unexpected surprise can stimulate the secretion of dopamine the most. James Dolan has even provoked rumba, tango, and cha-cha in the office.

He has no extra expectations for this series, and he feels that he is very content to sell two home tickets.

Who knows, the first game gave him a surprise.

But now, when the crushing footage of the second game came, he had to tell the business department: "We can prepare for the pre-sale of tickets for the second round."

Of course, the pre-sale price will definitely rise.

After all, people in the Big Apple are never short of money, and Wall Street elites cut leeks all over the world, so why not let Madison Garden also cut them?

……

As much as Sam Mitchell was reluctant to admit the truth in front of him, he had to accept it.

The whistle sounded for the end of the game.

132: 88.

They win the most auspicious two-digit number in the Chinese world.

But they lost two crucial home games.

When Isaiah Thomas shook hands with Sam Mitchell, he was not even aggressive, but said in a personable manner: "Don't be depressed, you have performed very well."

The implication is: you are not ashamed to lose to a top coach like me, even if you are the best head coach this year.

That sounds hurtful.

But what else could Sam Mitchell do but squeeze Thomas' palm in revenge?

"Facts speak louder than words, the messy news outside can be enough."

Thomas didn't mind being bruised on his right hand by Sam Mitchell. He told the media: "I've never seen a player as disciplined as Bruce. He has excellent technical requirements. How can a man like him do the things that the tabloids speculate during the game? Don't think he is a playboy like Leonardo just because he is handsome. He is decent. We are all decent. This is the Knicks I lead by example."

Uh... if Thomas didn't say the last sentence, the reporters really believed it.

"We have no plans for a sweep. But since the fans and players in Toronto don't welcome us back to Toronto, we're going to have to work hard to finish the first round at Madison Gardens."

Thomas spread his palms and said in the worst tone of his life.It seems to be paying tribute to the big brother Duan Shui Liu: I am not targeting anyone, I mean that everyone present is rubbish.

He was then attacked by reporters in Toronto.

The cranky Canadian reporter slapped him across the face with the microphone.

This directly led to the intervention of security personnel, and the interview with Li Zhen was subsequently cancelled.

So, sometimes people still can't be too arrogant.
