Basketball: Serious injury at the start!Turn on hell mode

Although Smith thought there was a problem with the Celtics' tactics, Rivers didn't take it seriously, and still sat there like a dead dog.

In his opinion, he used this lineup and this set of tactics to easily defeat the Knicks in the first two regular season confrontations.

There's no reason it will fail this time.

Apparently he forgot that the times are advancing with the times, and people will also change.

D'Antoni is also a figure who has won the best coach, so naturally he will not hang himself on the same tree.

Soon, Rivers had to apply for a timeout.

At this time, the score on the scoring machine has become 14-7, and the Knicks have led by 7 points.

And only 5 minutes passed in the first quarter.

Celtics bench.

"Eddie House, you go up and replace Rajon Rondo, don't hesitate to shoot if there is an open opportunity!"

Rivers chose to give up Rajon Rondo, and the opponent's continuous gaps on the field made him lose his patience.

Rajon Rondo also looked ugly. He lost in the confrontation with Duke again, even if the person defending him was not Duke.

.................................................. ...............

"After the timeout, Coach Rivers replaced Rajon Rondo with Eddie House. It was a targeted substitution. Hehe, it could have been changed a long time ago. I don't know what he was thinking."

Barkley was very disdainful of Rivers.

Smith next to him also launched an attack on Rajon Rondo.

"Rajon Rondo is still trying to become an All-Star point guard. Why? With his organization? Or his ability to grab rebounds. As a point guard, he can't even shoot the most basic shots. I really don't know. Know why there are so many media touting him."

"I think he was just lucky. He was on the Celtics team and didn't need him to score. If it was any other team, he would have been abandoned long ago."

On the field.

After giving up Rajon Rondo, the Celtics have improved on the offensive end.

After all, Eddie House has the ability to shoot three-pointers.

This also made the Knicks dare not easily defend against him and double-team others.

But their proud defense was pierced by the Knicks.

They thought it would be enough to contain Duke's ball-holding advance like last time, but they didn't know that the Knicks had already formed a running and bombing tactic with two ball-holding points.

Ray Allen was still chasing Duke, but Eddie House couldn't catch up with Chris Duhon.

And when Chris Duhon hit the frontcourt, Garnett had to double-team.

In this way, the UAE will be completely emptied, and the Knicks will have a chance in an instant.

So the Celtics found that no matter how well they played offensively, they would be pulled away not long after closing the score.

Rivers on the sidelines frowned, in stark contrast to the proud D'Antoni on the other side.

He looked back at Tony Allen, a little hesitant.

"If Tony Allen is replaced, the team's offense may not be guaranteed. After all, his three-pointers are not good."

"In addition, he is used to contain the Knicks' Jamal Crawford. Once he plays early, the rotation can't compete with the opponent."

After thinking for a while, he still gave up the idea.

Fortunately, this matter didn't bother him for long, and the game soon entered the rotation time.

In terms of rotation, the Celtics did not play against each other as Rivers imagined.

Instead, they fought evenly.

"This is trouble!"

Rivers felt very headache. He didn't expect the Knicks to change so much.

By the second half of the second quarter, the score on the field became 38-32.

The Knicks still hold the initiative, leading the Celtics by 6 points.

The main forces of both sides also began to gradually appear on the stage.

Rivers finally made a decision to use Tony Allen + Ray Allen to deal with the opponent's backcourt duo.

Tony Allen changed as soon as he played, and the Knicks' offense stalled.

In addition, facing the internal and external attacks of Ray Allen and Garnett, Duke could not show his offensive ability for a while.

The Knicks went straight into a 2-minute scoring drought.

But the Celtics are not much better, Tony Allen's outside shooting ability is no better than Rondo's.

This allows the Knicks to calmly double-team Celtics Pierce and Ray Allen.

In 2 minutes, they only scored 2 points with free throws.

The blacksmithing phase lasted until the end of halftime.

In the second half of the second quarter, the two sides scored ultra-low scores.

At the end of halftime, the two sides entered the intermission stage.

The score on the field became 47-44.

The Knicks at home still maintained a three-point lead.

Knicks locker room.

"Everyone, there is still the second half of the game, hurry up and recover!"

At this time, the head coach D'Antoni came in and began to cheer everyone up, and then arranged tactics.

"We still follow the original tactics in the third quarter. Our goal is to compete with him!"

"Garnett, Pierce, and Ray Allen are not young anymore. We continued to run in the second half and speed up the pace of the game. Their physical strength will soon be unable to keep up."

"Duke, I need you to work hard in the fourth quarter. When Ray Allen's physical strength declines, your chance will come."

"Our decisive battle time is in the second half of the fourth quarter, as long as we don't get opened up in the first half of the time, that's fine!"

The halftime break was very short, and soon it was time for the start of the second half.

The two sides changed sides to fight again, and the Celtics still used Tony Allen to defend Chris Duhon and Duke.

It seems that Rivers tasted the sweetness in the second half of the second quarter.

D'Antoni glanced at the dark Rivers, with a flash of disdain in his eyes.

"It depends on how you deal with the second half of the fourth quarter. If I had the Big Three, I would have won the championship long ago."

The boring game is still going on. When the Celtics offered this lineup, it was destined that this game would be a blacksmithing game.

"Bangdang!!!"

"Frame Dang!!!"

"Bangdang!!!"

The constant sound of iron strikes gradually made the fans lose their enthusiasm and began to become drowsy.

Even the two sides on the court felt bored.

But as professional players, they still insist on implementing the team's tactics.

The point difference between the two sides has always hovered around 3 points.

Until the game progressed to the fourth quarter with 4 minutes and 20 seconds left, the Celtics finally tied the score.

But Rivers' mood did not improve.

Because he found that his golfers had a physical crisis, especially the older Big Three.

Running normally with the Knicks made their physical exertion amazing.

At this time, D'Antoni on the other side showed a smile, and the harvest time has come.
