Rebirth of Yidi Legend

Chapter 534 1-1 draw

The Knicks relied on defense to establish a double-digit advantage in the first quarter, but this did not cause Rick Carlisle and the Mavericks to panic.

They fell behind in the first quarter in the same way in the first game, but in the last three quarters of the game, they regained the score through hard work, even reversed the game, and won the first victory in the finals , and brought the home court advantage back to Dallas, so the real psychological pressure today is the Knicks players. If they still lose this game, then they will have to go to Dallas with a big score of 0-2. This is definitely not the scene they want to see, they must be eager to win this game, otherwise they will really fall off a cliff!

It is also for this reason that it is normal for the Knicks to lead, but if the Mavericks can catch up with the score in the second quarter, then in Rick Carlisle's view, the initiative of the whole situation will return to the Mavericks.

The reason is also very simple. Now the Knicks are under pressure, and the Mavericks have no burden at all. They lost here, and they still have home court advantage when they go back!
With the stability of these old guys, it is impossible for them to waste these advantages bit by bit!

This is why after the Mavericks won the first game, most experts believed that they would have a chance to win. There is no way, these old guys will not easily miss the big score difference...

It's just that what Rick Carlisle didn't expect was that he thought the Mavericks would rebound strongly in the second quarter tonight like in the first game. Instead, the Knicks started the first quarter with a strong defense. , they were also very tough in the second quarter, and they continued to restrict the Mavericks with such a defense. Not only did the Mavericks fail to narrow the point difference in the second quarter, they were also widened by the Knicks. At halftime, The Mavericks are still 15 points behind.

Yi Jianlian didn't do anything in the first half, and all his energy was used in the offense. He scored 25 points in the first half. Yi Jianlian basically attacked directly when he got the ball, regardless of whether he was standing in front of him. Players, two defenders, or three defenders, the only thing left in his eyes after he gets the ball is the basket!

It was also this kind of attack that completely disregarded other attacks that made everyone aware of Yi Jianlian's fear.

"This guy is definitely not human!"

During the intermission, Dwyane Wade, who watched the game, expressed his surprise and admiration through Twitter. He did not hold hostility towards Yi Jianlian because Yi Jianlian eliminated them in the semifinals. Very good friend.

Moreover, for Dwyane Wade, this is not the first time!

He's used to it!

"In the second half, I will try my best to attract you defensively. I hope you can attack boldly and don't care about other things!"

In the Knicks locker room, Yi Jianlian was talking to other Knicks players about the strategy for the second half. At this time, D'Antoni and the assistant coaches were actually still discussing what tactics to use in the second half, but because Yi Jianlian was talking, the Knicks The players on the team listened carefully.

Especially when Yi Jianlian didn't say a word in the first half, now they can't wait to hear Yi Jianlian speak as usual.

After all, this could mean that Yi Jianlian did not intend to alienate them.

Yi Jianlian said a lot, and the main meaning is very simple. He will change from a main attacker to an assister in the second half. He hopes that the entire team can strengthen their individual shots.

Although he scored 25 points in the first half, he felt that the Mavericks' defense against him was gradually increasing. If he continued to attack as he did in the first half, he would put the defensive pressure on his teammates , Yi Jianlian felt that he would get into the cage arranged by Rick Carlisle.

He decided to do the opposite.

He believes that his desperation to score points in the first half has definitely caught the attention of Rick Carlisle, and it is impossible for him to make some tactical adjustments.

Hopefully...Rick Carlisle can keep his poshness in the second half.

***
Rick Carlisle is angry right now, very angry.

He didn't know how to express his emotions. If he could get a gun, he would really like to shoot Yi Jianlian and kill this shameless guy!
You played so fiercely in the first half, and you didn't say a word after you scored a goal. You looked like you owed him a lot of money, but now you continue to attack. What does it mean to pass three assists to your teammates?
damn it!
Rick Carlisle cursed again. While he was slandering Yi Jianlian in his heart, Yi Jianlian assisted his teammate to complete an attack.

The Mavericks defense is completely out of order.

There is no way not to mess up. Rick Carlisle talked about how to defend Yi Jianlian for 10 minutes in the 10 minutes of the intermission. He almost talked about ten sets of lineups to defend Yi Jianlian.

As a result, this guy stopped attacking!

Not only does he not attack, he also passes the ball!
Tell me, why is this guy so annoying?

Rick Carlisle gave his assistant coach a murderous look, and the latter smiled helplessly at him. He didn't expect Yi Jianlian to become the organizer in the second half.

The score difference further widened, and at the end of the third quarter, the Knicks were almost leading by 20 points.

Due to the large point difference, the two teams were a bit unremarkable in the fourth quarter.

In the end, 103 to 87, the Knicks beat the Mavericks at home with 16 points, avenged their first loss in the finals, and tied the score to 1-1!

Yi Jianlian scored 36 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists in this game. The whole game has not changed much from the first game, but they won this game easily, but lost the last game.

And Stoudemire's performance in this game was not as good as the first game, he only scored 19 points and 14 rebounds.

But it is worth mentioning that 19 of the 15 points were scored by him in the second half. Throughout the first half, Stoudemire put all his energy on the defensive end. He got a total of 3 blocks in the game.

"This is how we win games. It's not terrible to lose a game. As long as we believe that we can win, then we will definitely win, but one thing is very important, that is, we must believe that we can win!"

In the press conference after the game, Yi Jianlian faced the reporters, and his attitude towards the victory of the game was as expected.

"As long as we do what we're supposed to do on both ends of the floor, like tonight, then we can win!"

D'Antoni is very excited, the spirit of the Knicks tonight is really great!
