The rise of basketball legends

The next opponent of the New York Knicks is the Boston Celtics, back-to-back, away.

It's another focus battle in the eyes of fans.

Before the game started, the Knicks players knew it would be difficult to play.

The Knicks abused the Celtics at home in the last game, and Durant vowed to get back in this game.

TNT radio broadcasts live across the United States, and Barkley said with a smile: "Let me break the news, Kevin Durant came to the arena three hours ago and has been doing shooting training. It seems that he is interested in this game." It's heavy."

Kenny Smith said: "For Duran, this is a battle of revenge. The Celtics fell to the Knicks in the first round last season. They lost the opening game of this season."

The two commentators did not exaggerate. As soon as the game came up, Durant was fully focused.

In the first possession, Durant used the screen to get to the free throw line.

After receiving a pass from Rose, Durant directly pulled out his hand!

"Shh!"

The goal was very crisp, and the two commentators also smiled and said that Durant came to the arena to warm up in advance, and his hands were hot as soon as he came up.

As soon as Chen Yan's continuous change of direction at the top of the arc was ready to start, the Celtics immediately double-teamed.

Double-teaming Chen Yan in the first round of the game was not the first of the Celtics. Now many teams do this in order to limit Chen Yan's touch and performance.

They would rather let other players score than let Chen Yan shoot away.

Beverly quickly pulled to the wing to stand still, and the pass made the open space.

Chen Yan couldn't fail to see this kind of ball. After taking a step away, he flicked his right hand, and Chen Yan passed the ball to find Beverly.

Durant from the bottom corner rushed up, Beverly didn't handle the ball well, he could have turned another hand to Battier who was completely open.

But he chose to do it himself.

"Bang!"

Not in.

Old Nelson didn't say anything about Beverly either. After all, the opportunity had already come up, but he didn't choose a better one.

Durant immediately ran across the half court without the ball, and Rose took the ball and pushed back to convert.

The Celtics counterattacked quickly, and Chen Yan retreated to the defensive half immediately.

The Celtics were 2 on 1 in the frontcourt.

If the ball was replaced by another defender, Rose would definitely charge hard.

But Chen Yan standing in front of him calmed him down a lot.

Rose rushed in front of Chen Yan and started back. The moment the two took off at the same time, Rose scored the ball to the basket.

Durant easily put the basket and scored two points.

0:4.

Even Chen Yan can't do anything about this ball, he can't defend against two top scorers at the same time, after all, he is not Uzumaki Naruto, and he doesn't have the technique of shadow clone.

The Celtics started with fierce firepower, and directly blasted a wave of 9-0 spurts.

Durant scored 7 points alone.

After the first quarter, Durant's personal score rose to 16 points, and the Celtics led 31 to 21 by 10 points.

In the first quarter, Chen Yan's efficiency was mediocre, and he was not in a good state tonight.

The same goes for other Knicks players, back-to-back away games are exhausting.

Chen Yan came up in the second quarter and played a few strong shots, all of which were mainly fouls.

The Celtics' offense was smoother, with Durant and Rose taking turns taking over the offense.

The old Nelson changed, and he replaced Al Harrington and Shuhao.

Shuhao didn't play much tonight. Fatigue is one aspect, and hard power is another aspect.

Ross was a level higher than the point guards he had encountered before. Whether it was skills or physical talent, two strong ones directly stunned Shuhao.

The performance of the Knicks tonight and the last game are two extremes.

At halftime, the Knicks team made 15 of 3 three-pointers, which is even more exaggerated than the Chinese team.

Chen Yan scored 15 points, 5 assists and 3 rebounds in the halftime. This statistic is very good for other players, but it is not even considered satisfactory for Chen Yan.

During the intermission, Chen Yan thought about using props to improve his state.

But think about it and let it go. This game is just an ordinary regular season game, and it is not cost-effective to use props to improve it.

Chen Yan still needs to save points to prevent injuries, and to maintain his body during the offseason.

Having a healthy body is the key to Chen Yan's success.

Chen Yan could only adjust his state without resorting to external force and force himself to concentrate.

During the intermission, the old Nelson kept pouring chicken soup on the players to make them more decisive, whether it was shooting or breaking through, don't hesitate or shrink back because of the bad touch.

As for the offensive tactics, Nelson remains unchanged and continues his previous fast-paced, perimeter-focused style of play.

It is impossible for Nelson to let the players switch to positional warfare and reduce the number of three-point shots just because they are not in good condition.

The style of a team is injected into the blood of the players, and it is impossible to change it just by saying it.

In the Celtics locker room, the team atmosphere is very relaxed.

"Hey! KD, be happy, we're already leading by 23 points." Rose patted Durant on the back.

Durant said cautiously: "The game is not over yet."

Xiaosi on the side smiled: "Don't worry, this game is settled!"

Nate Robinson taunted the Knicks in a funny tone: "They don't seem to wake up today! I don't know how to lose this game!"

"Kd, just enjoy the game in the second half." Rose said.

"Hahaha!" Durant was amused by his teammates.

Originally, he still had a little worry, but seeing the optimistic attitude of his teammates, all worries disappeared.

From the distance from the player tunnel to the court, Durant has already thought about what he will say in the post-match interview with reporters after the bloodbath of the Knicks.

Back in the second half, the five Knicks players on the court were Shu Hao, Chen Yan, Battier, David West, and DeAndre Jordan.

Celtic side: Derek - Rose, Pietrus, Durant, Stoudemire, Krstic.

The Knicks are still in the same state. After returning from the second half and making continuous outside passes, Shuhao forced a three-pointer and missed.

"Don't play like this! Make more points! Create shooting space!" Old Nelson roared from the sidelines.

His tactical philosophy is to encourage players to shoot three-pointers, but not to shoot randomly and shoot against others.

The Celtics pushed back.

Durant dribbled the ball halfway, and Chen Yan stood in front of him.

Durant didn't take the risk of breaking through Chen Yan one-on-one. He knew Chen Yan's stealing ability.

After scoring the ball, Durant immediately went forward without the ball, using Pietrus' cover to go around the bottom corner.

Rose flicked his hands and transferred to Durant in a wide range.

Durant has a big hole in the bottom corner!

Holding his breath, he aimed at the frame and shot.

"Shh!"

Beautiful arc, perfect hollow!

66:43.

After the goal was scored, the difference between the two sides widened to 26 points!

The North Shore Garden Stadium is in a state of excitement!

The fans were thinking the same as the Celtics players were thinking at halftime.

This ball is a sure win!

Xiao Shuai arrogantly raised his shooting hand and returned to the defensive half.

Thousands of words come together in one sentence.

The wind stopped, the rain cleared up, and Xiaoshuai felt that he was doing well again.
