The genius of the basketball madman is on the left

A complete fiasco, the Celtics, considered one of the best teams in the past four years, were beaten by the Knicks led by Zuo Li.

The whole process was violent and bloody. The Celtics were defeated without even organizing any effective resistance. Whether it was inside and outside points, shooting percentage, assists, rebounds, turnovers... In short, it is the data you can think of , The Celtics were completely suppressed by the Knicks.

Individual performance can better reflect the gap between the two teams in this game.

In this game, the Knicks can be said to be in full bloom. In addition to Zuo Li's brilliant statistics in 30 minutes, Randolph scored 21 points and 8 rebounds, Curry scored 14 points and 8 assists, David Lee scored 15 points and 7 rebounds, and scored six. 13 points, Belinelli 10 points.

The Knicks' starting five scored in double figures except Battier, who was focused on defense.

Although Battier only scored 3 points, he did his best on the defensive end. Pierce was disturbed and only scored 11 points on 3 of 10 shots. Batman's ability was vividly displayed.

And Pierce was locked up, and the rest of the Celtics were completely out of order.

如果说常规赛勇猛无比的隆多8分10助攻2抢断属于正常发挥，那么三分6投2中只有8分的雷阿伦就属于完全失常了。

After the game, Ray Allen was also the player who received the most criticism. Even the Celtics legend said that Ray Allen's current strength is completely unworthy of being called a giant!

I have to say that after personal experience, Zuo Li seems to understand Ray Allen's practice of not renewing his contract after it expires. , All lack respect for Ray Allen.

Needless to say, it can be seen from the Celtics' attitude towards Ray Allen's contract extension... Danny Ainge and Rivers both believe that Ray Allen is far less important than the inside pillar Garnett and the team. Soul Pierce.

This summer, the contracts of the Big Three expired one after another. They gave 36-year-old Kevin Garnett $3 million for three years, and 3400-year-old Paul Pierce $35 million for four years. Ren, their offer is $4 million for 6100 years...

With this number, it's no wonder Ray Allen didn't renew his contract.

If Zuo Li were Ray Allen, he would feel unbalanced. The other two brothers have an annual salary of tens of millions, but he has a middle-class income. What's more, this salary is only ranked sixth in the Celtics team...

But Ray Allen is, as always, the Celtics' three-point leader. This season, his three-point shooting rate reached 45%. The third stealer, the fourth assister, the team's third in free throw percentage, but the salary is the sixth in the team...

Moreover, Ray Allen's tactical status on the court has declined significantly, and he rarely takes the ball in normal games, not even as good as O'Neal, but O'Neal was shattered by Zuo Li, and he scored 5 for 0 in the entire game, which is the worst performance in this game Yes, Ray Allen can still throw a three-pointer anyway.

Take this game as an example, the Celtics have obviously bigger problems inside. Garnett scored 11 points and O'Neal scored 12 points. How much better can he play than Ray Allen.

But both the fans and the Celtics star pointed the finger at Ray Allen, as if the loss was all his fault, how could this not make Ray Allen feel dissatisfied.

Fortunately, although Rivers did not pay enough attention to Ray Allen, he was clear-headed anyway. He knew very well that in this situation, stabilizing the morale of the army is the most important thing. If there are any problems, we must wait until the season is completely over. hold on!

"It's just a game. Now is not the time to attack each other. We are a collective, a team. Losing is the common responsibility of each of us. Don't blame any teammates!"

"Ray, you've done a good job. You don't need to be affected by outside criticism. You are still our most important member. We need your strength."

After speaking to the team in the locker room, Rivers comforted Ray Allen again.

I have to say that as a coach, Rivers still knows what he should do.

No matter what Ray Allen thinks, anyway, the Celtics have maintained basic stability.

Rivers' chicken soup for the soul really works, at least the Celtics have not been knocked down.

This is indeed a respectable team, tough, strong, and always stand up again after repeated setbacks.

It's just a pity that they couldn't resist the cruelty of time after all.

Two days later, on the same venue, G2 between the Knicks and the Celtics officially started.

The Celtics made bold adjustments in this game. O'Neal was put on the bench, replaced by Jeff Green, who had just been traded from the Thunder during the season.

Four of the Thunder's three juniors had high hopes.

And Rivers' spiritual victory method is indeed powerful.Originally, after the first game, the criticism from the outside world almost drowned the Celtics, and it also broke out that there was discord in the locker room, and changing a team might collapse.

But the veterans of the Green Army inspired their fighting spirit in the second battle!

At the beginning, Jeff Green showed his ambition with a fierce thug... Tonight, he is going to fight Zuo Li to the death!

And Ray Allen, who was the most criticized in the last game, made a three-pointer and Garnett's jumper. The Celtics started with a 5-0 score.

However, Zuo immediately assisted Randolph in the bottom corner and scored 2+1. The younger Randolph suppressed Garnett with his weight, and his personal style of playing made the Knicks quickly stabilize their position.

But I have to say that the veterans of the Celtics really worked hard. After being beaten by Randolph, Garnett abandoned his style of fighting and retreating, and even returned to beat Randolph on the back. , Although the waist hit by Randolph was about to break, but the ball was actually thrown in!

This scene moved the Celtics fans very much. It is indeed Garnett, the Celtics' pinnacle of the sea!

Throughout the first half, the Celtics, who showed their full strength, scored 55-50. Celtics fans once saw the hope of victory.

However, in the second half, physical problems began to plague the Celtics. When Garnett finished shooting out of breath, when Pierce made a free throw, he needed to rest his hands and knees for 10 seconds, and when Ray Allen was hit by Curry, he couldn't keep up with him. At the time of the rhythm, everyone knows that the Celtics are gone.

The Knicks, who were united as one, did not give the veteran Celtics a chance to counterattack. In the third quarter, a wave of 11-0, in the fourth quarter, a wave of 10-0, two waves of climax, the Knicks took away the victory.

108-90，尼克斯18分守住主场，并带着2-0的大比分前往波士顿。

It was another big victory. The helpless expression of the Celtics players after the game broke the hearts of countless fans. After the game, Garnett, who had fought for 45 minutes, was helped out of the court by his teammates.

"Time is really the most ruthless weapon. Even if you are a long-established superstar, you can't resist the erosion of time." Barkley said, he also understands the powerlessness of the Celtics.

But the game is so cruel, no one will treat you preferentially because of your age.
