Chapter 440

The Celtics finally scored, which relieved Rivers, who stood aside.

For an elderly team like the Celtics, as long as the rhythm is stabilized, they have a thousand ways to slowly consume and find opportunities to play a counterattack that can seal the victory.

This style is particularly evident in the Spurs, whose overall style of play is to slowly consume each other with their opponents, and then suddenly burst into force in the final few possessions to seal the victory.

Of course, this style of play has certain flaws. To put it simply, the audience doesn't like to watch it!
This is also the reason why San Antonio's ball market is not good. The overall rhythm of play is too depressing, the opponent is stumbling, and their own offense is not smooth.

However, this is how senior teams play. If they don't play this, let them play with their bodies and athletic ability, and they have indeed passed that time!

It's just that the Celtics wanted to play so slowly, but D'Antoni disagreed. He immediately forced the Knicks to press the defense, forcing the Celtics to speed up the entire offensive transition. Being led off, he suppressed the entire rhythm very well, but once the ball left his hands, others did not have such good rhythm control ability as him.

"Boom blah blah blah!"

The Celtics missed three consecutive offenses.

The Knicks seized this opportunity and widened the point difference to 11-3.

During this period of time, since Garnett hit the jumper just now, only Paul Pierce hit the basket and caused a foul by Turiaf, who scored a point with one of two free throws.

"Let's hit another ball!"

It was the Knicks' offense again. While Felton took the ball forward, he directed the Knicks players to move forward quickly. He felt very cool today. Although he has not scored yet, his assists The number has reached 3, all of which were given to Yi Jianlian, who always finds a way to put the ball into the basket every time he takes the ball.

No wonder Mo Williams can make it to the All-Stars, give me a deal, and I can make it too!

After Kyle Lowry, another guy who thought so came along.

Yi Jianlian deliberately strengthened his aggressiveness towards the basket today. One reason is that he played more excitedly today. The other reason is that he has more choices when he goes in. The Celtics center Perkins completely restricts the basket. For Stoudemire, the latter is another point that the Celtics can't handle besides him.

The connection between Yi Jianlian and Stoudemire is equivalent to the fusion of two strong points. As for the power of two atomic bombs exploding together, just look at the score.

The first quarter was 9 minutes and 40 seconds.

The Knicks lead 22-10.
Seeing such a big lead, D'Antoni took Yi Jianlian off the court.

When Yi Jianlian walked off the court, there were fierce cheers at the scene. Facing the Celtics, they had established a double-digit advantage before the first quarter was over. Dare to think about things, but now, with the arrival of Yi Jianlian, all this happened, how could they not be excited?
"MVP!"

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

After the cheers, the fans of the Knicks were obviously still not happy, and cheered "MVP" unanimously. Channing Frye waved a towel along with these cheers, and looked exaggeratedly at Yi Jianlian who walked to the bench.

"To you, my hero!"

Channing Frye took Gatorade from the hands of the staff on the side, and happily delivered it to Yi Jianlian.

Yi Jianlian listened to what he was saying speechlessly, but still took the bottle of Gatorade.

On the court, the Knicks' offensive didn't stagnate with Yi Jianlian's end. Instead, they played more and more fiercely. The Celtics were pressed into the mud and couldn't lift their heads.

"The Knicks showed their athletic ability to the fullest in this game. Once this rhythm is up, it is not so simple to suppress it. Let us see if Rivers has any solution. !"

Rivers...has no choice. His response is still standing on the sidelines and yelling at the Celtics, but the Celtics are all in a depressed rhythm. Xiao Ming became more and more restrained, and even the poker-faced Rajon Rondo was a little anxious at the moment.

Felton found an opportunity and completed a steal against Rajon Rondo head-on. Although he failed to form a fast break, Felton suppressed the rhythm, and then gave a high throw to Stoudemire inside, and Stoudemire took the ball Half turned around, jumped high, and dunked the ball into the basket.

Felton organized this ball very reasonably, so reasonable that he was more like Rajon Rondo.

The point difference came to 15 points after this goal.

With 23.4 seconds left in the first quarter, the Celtics stalled to the end, Pierce missed a strong shot, and the Celtics ended the first quarter with a 15-point difference.

Rivers' entire defensive adjustment in the first quarter was a failure. When facing the Knicks' running and bombing team with Yi Jianlian and Stoudemire as arrows, he had no ability to stop it at all.

Speaking of which, the Celtics' defensive ability has indeed declined this season, and the magnitude of the decline can be seen with the naked eye. This has a lot to do with Thibodeau's departure.

A statistic that can be used as evidence is that the Bulls, currently ranked second in the East, after Thibodeau became the head coach, their overall defensive ability has improved significantly compared to last season, and this improvement is something that this team can One of the important reasons for taking off this season.

It is precisely because of the Celtics' lack of resilience on the defensive end that the Knicks scored waves that could not be stopped in the first quarter.

And this situation did not change at all in the remaining three quarters of the game tonight. The Knicks slammed all the way from the first quarter to the fourth quarter. In the end, the Knicks defeated the team with a big score difference of 122 to 102 and 20 points. After defeating the Celtics, Yi Jianlian won his debut as a Knicks player, and he won very beautifully. Because of this victory, the Knicks also ended the Celtics' 7-game streak against them in the regular season. win.

Yi Jianlian played the best in this game, scoring a total of 34 points, 9 rebounds and 11 assists, as well as 2 steals and a block, with only one turnover.

It is worth mentioning that Yi Jianlian's assists in this game are quite different from the previous assists in the Bucks. Seven of Yi Jianlian's 10 assists tonight were passed to Stoudemire.

As long as he rushes into the free throw line, hangs one of the Celtics' insiders, and helps Stoudemire get a one-on-one chance, the latter can always complete the offense in 1v1 cleanly, Garnett and Perkins Faced with his impact, he was completely overwhelmed, and Stoudemire's statistics tonight were also very impressive, scoring 27 points and 13 rebounds.
