BXBX NOVEL Chapter 278: Lineup restraint!
At the beginning of the game, the Knicks\' outside line showed their impregnable defense. After last season\'s fight, Holiday is too experienced in defending Rondo. An All-Star point guard who is a headache for most teams in the league.
Facing the Knicks point guard who caused him a lot of trouble last season, Rondo also had a headache. The opponent knew that he had no three-point ability, so he let go of a big step. Although his speed is a little faster than Holiday, but at this distance, the opponent can definitely react quickly.
This is also Rondo\'s disadvantage. The offensive method is very single, and the defensive side is very judgmental. In G6 and G7 of the Eastern Conference Finals, he faced Holiday\'s defense very uncomfortable. This season, that feeling has struck again.
Not to mention Lian Dao, whether it is speed, height or wingspan, he is crushed when facing Pierce. This was also verified in the Eastern Conference finals last season.
Danny Green\'s defense is also remarkable, and his defensive enthusiasm is very high. Danny Green is most suitable for defending players like Ray Allen who keep running, and the most important thing is that he is very balanced. The shooting is very stable, which can open up space for Lian Dao on the offensive end.
Today I want to say that the worst of the Green Army is Ray Allen. Not only will he face Danny Green\'s defense, but he will also face Tony Allen\'s defense later. As his previous substitute, Tony Allen\'s defensive strength Ray Allen couldn\'t be more clear.
Especially Tony Allen\'s death entanglement, he suffered a lot in the training games of the previous seasons.
In the first quarter of the game, the Celtics\' outside shooting rate was terrible. Pierce and Ray Allen couldn\'t find a chance to shoot. After Rondo missed the first two three-pointers, he was even more embarrassed behind the three-point line. Take the shot.
The team\'s offense can only rely on Garnett struggling inside, but under Millsap\'s defense, Garnett consumes a lot of energy every time he scores a goal.
Conversely, looking at the Knicks, when the team has two organizers, the Knicks quickly played a fast break storm, Stoudemire integrated very quickly, and he played in D\'Antoni\'s system After passing the ball, D\'Antoni\'s tactics couldn\'t be more clear.
The biggest advantage of Stoudemire\'s joining is that after Lian Dao broke through, the Celtics no longer dared to double-team Lian Dao easily, and Lian Dao assisted his teammates more in the first quarter.
Even so, the first quarter ended with a score of 30:22.
The Celtics have problems on both ends of the offense and defense. On offense, they can\'t break through the Knicks\' impregnable walls. On defense, they have too many veterans, and many people can\'t keep up with the Knicks\' fast break. The most important thing is that Garnett consumed too much energy in one quarter.
As for the Knicks, Lian Dao didn\'t make much effort on the offensive end in the first quarter. After the first quarter, he didn\'t even break a sweat.
In the second quarter, the Knicks kept half of the main players on the court. The lineup on the court: Tony Allen, Wilson Chandler, Lian Dao, David Lee, Cousins.
The Celtics lineup is a bit worse: Nate Robinson, Marquese Daniels, Pierce, Glenn Davis, O\'Neal.
Little O\'Neal performed well in the second half of last season, but this season\'s state will be very fast. Marquese Daniels did not perform very well last season due to injuries. I did not expect that this season Kyle The special people still handed him a basic salary contract.
However, his scoring method relies more on breakthroughs, and his passing ability is good, and he can even play as a point guard. Tough defender with a strong frame, quick movement and a high basketball IQ.
He was supposed to be Pierce\'s backup.
But Delonte West\'s wrist injury has not healed, there is no way, Marquis Daniels can only top the second position.
However, although Cousins played for the Knicks for the first time in the regular season, facing O\'Neal\'s defense, Cousins was in a very good state. Staged a dunk, then took off the offensive rebound under the basket, and successfully dunked against O\'Neal.
It seems that although this guy is easily emotional, his strength and talent are not mentioned.
And Rashid Wallace, who was sitting off the field, was also very happy to see that the younger brother he had just adopted was doing well.
That\'s right, Rasheed Wallace fell in love with this guy who had a personality similar to his own when he first arrived in the Knicks.
When he was young, Rashid was also an emotional player. He had a bad temper and yelled at his opponents after scoring a goal. He also earned a nickname for this: "Roaring God!"
Rashid, who had just arrived in Knicks, learned that Lian Dao had found him an apprentice, so Rashid, who couldn\'t sleep in the middle of the night, called Cousins to inspect the goods overnight.
Then a classic scene was staged: Glory to the veteran!
The next day, Lian Dao saw that Cousins had been subdued by the 35-year-old veteran. Apart from Lian Dao, the Knicks also had a second person to be afraid of.
During the training, watching the old and the young screaming at every move, Lian Dao didn\'t know whether the decision to hand Cousins to Rasheed was really right.
However, at least Lian Dao knew that Cousins was indeed making continuous progress.
No, after David Lee leaked, Glenn Davis came to the basket, and then ushered in a big cap from Cousins.
Then, the Knicks launched a new round of fast break again.
In the second quarter, Lian Dao didn\'t play for too long. He was replaced by Gallinari with 5 minutes left.
Because during the second quarter, the Knicks have extended their lead to 18 points.
D\'Antoni is no longer rigid about the rotation this season. He is now also making substitutions according to the pre-match format.
If the team has an advantage, it will give the substitute more playing time. If the score is very tight, then Lian Dao will always be on the court.
When Lian Dao was off the court, the score was 50:32. Lian Dao scored 15 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists.
The Celtics replaced their main players, and the Knicks also replaced their main players except Lian Dao and Cousins.
Although Lian Dao rested, the Knicks did not collapse like last season. Although the Celtics launched a counterattack under the leadership of Pierce, Stoudemire also continued to show off on the Knicks side. The cooperation between him and Cousins inside is also very brilliant.
Especially when there are all-star pick-and-roll insiders like Stoudemire who need to double-team, Cousins, as a rookie, is particularly easy to be shorted, which gives Cousins a lot of opportunities.
The Celtics fans at the scene also discovered the current predicament of their team. The New York God of War on the opposite side was not present, so they couldn\'t catch up with the score. His ability has also declined seriously, and he has a little understanding of the Celtics\' team offensive tactics~www.mtlnovel.com~.
This guy didn\'t even go to college, so he really couldn\'t understand the complicated tactics.
It can be said that he has never been integrated into the Celtics system. At present, the Celtics\' mid-level contract does not seem to be worth it.
At halftime, the Knicks lead the Celtics 60:40.
After the Celtics replaced all the main players, instead of approaching the score, the Knicks extended their lead to 20 points.
After Rivers replaced Ray Allen, Garnett and Pierce, although Pierce\'s offense picked up, Ray Allen encountered big trouble under Tony Allen\'s defense.
Tony Allen really knows Ray Allen very well. Whether it is Ray Allen\'s running position or shooting habits, Tony Allen can be said to know it well.
After playing in the second quarter, Ray Allen was restricted to death.
After Rivers saw it, he was also anxious and angry. This summer, he told Angie not to let Tony Allen go. Even if he wants to let go, he must first sign and then trade, and put Tony Allen in the West.
But Angie, who is focused on strengthening the inside line, can\'t listen to anything. This is good. Tony Allen not only stays in the East, but also allows the Knicks who belong to the same Atlantic Division to get it. After getting Tony Allen, they became even more powerful in an instant, and the Knicks\' outside line was directly upgraded to a solid wall.
And Stoudemire, who returned to the fourth position, was not afraid to face the 34-year-old Garnett, and Stoudemire played an advantage on both offense and defense.
Only Pierce is struggling to support the outside line. Gallinari is still a little immature against Pierce. Most of the Celtics\' scoring when they replaced the main force came from Pierce.
