NBA money-spending system sparks jealousy among female celebrities.

8 p.m.

Five minutes before the match.

"boom!"

The atmosphere at Madison Square Garden is absolutely electric.

Too many Knicks fans are eager to witness yet another Knicks record being set.

A milestone night.

It must be a monument, not a tragedy.

So... the fans gave the Knicks the loudest cheers.

The deafening cheers were like the noise produced when a Boeing 747 takes off.

It ignited the atmosphere in the entire stadium.

On the field.

"Shh!"

Ray Allen hit a textbook three-pointer, feeling the incredibly enthusiastic atmosphere in the arena.

He exclaimed, "As expected of the largest city, the home atmosphere is indeed strong, and the sense of pressure is very intense!"

"There's nothing wrong with that."

Pierce shrugged. "That's why many players would rather forgo a top salary in a small city and go to a big city."

"Unlimited potential."

"Home-court advantage can boost the Knicks' morale and give them a fighting boost."

Garnett also affirmed this, and then added, "However... in the face of the absolute strength of the Celtics' Big Three."

It's all in vain.

The key point... our Celtics' strength isn't just our Big Three, it's the entire team!

The whole team?

That's right.

Like the Lakers and Spurs, the Celtics have a strong roster from starters to bench players.

Preconceived notions.

The Celtics' strongest players are the Big Three: Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett, and Paul Pierce.

Actually.

Rajon Rondo, who starts in the same position, is already playing at an All-Star level as a fourth-year point guard.

and.

He will be selected as an All-Star this year.

This is undoubtedly a giant, but he has just grown up and is less famous than the other three.

Also.

Center Kendrick Perkins, despite the team having four superstars, still managed to average 10.2 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks per game.

A very skilled blue-collar worker in the restricted area.

It's fair to say that the Celtics' starting five are all formidable players, and calling them the "Big Five" wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Second.

The substitutes were also full of thugs.

It features Rasheed Wallace ("The Roaring God"), Glen Davis ("Big Baby"), and Tony Allen.

Rasheed can shoot three-pointers, is aggressive on defense, and is good at both offense and defense.

During his peak, he was one of the "Pistons' Big Five" and a true All-Star player.

Now he can also make a name for himself as a substitute.

Glen Davis is physically strong. Although his offense is average, he dares to use his large size to go toe-to-toe with any opponent in the paint.

The main focus is on indiscriminate consumption.

Tony Allen is a defensive stalwart who will be a regular All-Defensive First Team selection in the future. Now that he is developing on the bench, he is just as troublesome.

These three form a bench mob; no matter which team's substitutes they encounter, they can give them a run for their money.

"The Celtics have a perfect roster, are a championship team, and have a lot of experience."

When they get serious, they can be extremely difficult to deal with!

Before the game.

In the commentary box.

Reggie Miller analyzed in a low voice.

"Yes."

"The Glide" Drexler nodded in agreement, "The Knicks have won 23 straight games and have defeated many strong teams."

but.

Facing the Celtics with their perfect lineup, tonight could be another tough battle.

As Reggie said, their lack of experience might cause them to falter at crucial moments.

of course.

This is just theory.

We can no longer use common sense to discuss this young, rebuilding Knicks team.

They defied our expectations of rookie teams.

They have made history.

Tonight... anyone could win; this is destined to be a clash of titans.

Ladies and gentlemen, I can't wait any longer!

Before the game.

The two commentators were very active in promoting the game and constantly building hype for it.

On the field.

Both teams warmed up actively.

While the Celtics are not afraid of the Knicks, they only have the confidence to win; it doesn't mean they can just casually play around and win.

They also need to lead the team seriously.

The same applies to the Knicks. Coach D'Antoni is well aware of how perfect the Celtics' roster is and how powerful their fighting force is.

Not just before the game.

A few days ago, we urged everyone to pay attention to this match.

Just like Drexler said, a game where both teams are giving 120% is destined to be exciting and explosive!

"boom!"

In the fiery atmosphere of the stadium.

After the warm-up, the starting lineups from both sides took to the field, and the main match was about to begin!

New York Knicks Starting Lineup: Point Guard: Curry, Shooting Guard: McGrady, Small Forward: Su Yan, Power Forward: David Lee, Center: Tyson Chandler.

Boston Celtics starting lineup: Point Guard: Rajon Rondo, Shooting Guard: Ray Allen, Small Forward: Paul Pierce, Power Forward: Kevin Garnett, Center: Kendrick Perkins.

"Jumpball!"

A contest for the ball between Tyson and Perkins.

"Snapped!"

Tyson, who is taller, has a better jumping ability, and a longer wingspan, was the first to lob the basketball, winning the jump ball.

David Lee accepted the basketball.

The ball was passed to Curry, who moved to the right arc and faced Rondo... He changed direction repeatedly, attempting to break through.

but.

Rondo, with his long arms and large hands, stuck to Curry, putting immense defensive pressure on him.

We can't conquer it.

Curry, seeing no opportunity, wasn't in a hurry. He found McGrady to set a screen, shook off Kailem, and then mismatched Ray Allen.

It turned out to be difficult to fight.

The Celtics not only have a strong offense, but also a solid defense.

"hiss……"

Curry twitched his lips, suddenly feeling considerable defensive pressure, and quickly passed the ball to David Lee in the low post, facing Garnett.

There was still no chance.

With little time left to attack, David Lee, undaunted by the challenge, launched a series of powerful attacks before turning and using a hook shot.

"drink!"

Garnett didn't lose his position, and with a low growl, he went up to block, giving David Lee a lot of defensive interference.

"Bang!"

That shot missed.

In the next possession, Curry couldn't get a three-point opportunity on the perimeter, so he faked a drive and dribbled behind his back, then accelerated into the right wing, with Pierce chasing on the side.

It seems impossible to catch up.

Garnett's help defense came in again, forcing Curry to raise the arc of his shot, resulting in another missed shot.

"hiss……"

McGrady twitched his lips. "The Celtics' defense is so fierce, there's practically no chance!"

"Yes."

Curry also looked serious, saying, "We played cautiously and steadily, but we didn't have many opportunities and were constantly being disrupted."

"Therefore... we must be decisive in our attack."

Su Yan narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "We can't let the Celtics' defense lead us by the nose. We need to unleash our 'run-and-gun whirlwind'."

Let's pick up the pace.

Act decisively.

Some of our offensive plays might seem illogical, but that's just our style; that's how we've always played!

"understood."

Curry nodded, suddenly realizing, "Oh no, I was a little too wary of the Celtics' defense!"

I'm a little hesitant to fight!

Now... I'll attack even more decisively!

"Snapped!"

Su Yan and Curry exchanged a high five, and facing the Celtics with their perfect lineup, they became completely serious!
