Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

What's the advantage of 6 points? Of course not.

However, being able to lead the defending champion by 6 points in a single quarter at home undoubtedly gave all Knicks players a shot in the arm.

Before the game starts, no matter how many times you say ‘we can win’, ‘we can defeat them’, ‘they are not so scary’, it will not be as real as the feeling after the actual battle in the game.

This first quarter undoubtedly gave the Knicks the confidence to defeat their opponents!

Zuo Li: "Now you know, we didn't reach the semifinals by luck! We can compete with them. The defending champion has nothing to be afraid of. The place we stand is New York! No one can easily defeat us!"

Randolph: "Now that we have the advantage, let's not relax, let me take it down hard!"

Dragic: "Don't worry, I can make the shot. I felt very good tonight. I'm not a chicken!"

D'Antoni: "Listen guys, keep your touch, I'll let Ke Liu go up to help you, stand in a good position, and shoot decisively when you have the chance, don't be afraid!"

The roar on the bench showed the true state of the Knicks at this moment. In a simple word, the mentality is different and the baggage is gone.

This is undoubtedly what Zuo Li wants to see most.

In the second quarter, Zuo Li took a break on the bench, and David Lee, Harrington, Chandler, Ke Liu and Du Hong came on the field.

This lineup is relatively short inside and lacks enough confrontation. When the Celtics keep Perkins on the inside, it is logically difficult to beat them.

Who knew that David Lee would show off Perkins in the paint as soon as he came up.

The Green Army originally wanted to take advantage of the left stance, but Randolph was not on the inside, so Perkins used his weight to hit one. Eddie House passed the ball in. Perkins took it and wanted to do it himself. Who knew the moment he turned around?

David Lee, who caught the opportunity, slapped the ball and cut it off.

Perkins turned around and jumped up to make a lonely shot. Fortunately, Eddie House made up for it and used a tactical foul to prevent Keliu's fast break.

On the defensive end, David Lee, who had just cut off the ball and made a contribution, went inside and positioned himself. Perkins originally wanted to use his weight to bully David Lee, but who knew that David Lee forced Perkins to turn around and rush to make up for it.

Before defending, protect the ball with your left hand and hit the ball with your right hand!

twenty one!

This combination of offense and defense blinded Perkins from the start.

"orge on!" After scoring the goal, David Lee bulged his muscles and roared at Perkins, spitting on his face.

However, Perkins, who is known for his bad temper, remained motionless and even forgot to fight back.

"Awesome!"

"David Lee is great, who dares to call you a scumbag!"

"Tough! The white skin is also tough!"

"Perkins, you weakling! Useless thing, get off!"

The fans cheered and applauded Mianzi, and did not forget to talk trash to Perkins.

brush!

David Lee made a solid free throw, and the point difference became 9 points!

Perkins' road of confusion is not over yet. In the next round, the Celtics did not choose to play him. Tony Allen held the ball and distributed it to the corner. Eddie House in the corner called a pick-and-roll, and Perkins ran out. As a result,

I was called for a moving screen foul...

"orge on~~~" Eddie House, who originally only needed to put the ball in to get into a smooth road, looked back and saw, oh, it was all a surprise, so he let out a very broken sigh.

Rivers was walking all over the bench in front of the bench. He wanted to ask Perkins what the hell he was doing, was he sleepwalking!

"Good guy, the Knicks are in a terrible state tonight, and Perkins was stunned." Yang Yi said.

Facts have proved that Yang Yi said it too early.

On the defensive end, Perkins made another mistake. He defended too much and missed David Lee completely. Harrington passed in and David Lee dunked to widen the point difference to 11 points!

At this time, Rivers couldn't sit still anymore, so he called a timeout and replaced all the main players.

Although this move meant to make up for the situation, it was still criticized. Barkley believed that Rivers' reaction was too slow and that Perkins should have been allowed to calm down when he was afraid of fouling.

But now it's too late to say anything. Now the Green Army fans just hope that the Celtics, whose main force has returned, can sweep away the decline. After all, this is only the second quarter. How can they fill such a big hole in the second half after losing more than ten points?

The core general Zuo Li has not yet exerted his strength!

The Knicks also changed their lineup. David Lee, who had just performed well, was left on the court, standing on the left side. Novak was replaced, and Larry Hughes and Duhon remained on the court.

Pierce took advantage of Novak to defend him, turned his back, squeezed him away with a spank, and succeeded in a forced shot, which stabilized the situation for the Green Army.

However, the Knicks immediately retaliated. Facing the defense that the Green Army relied on for survival, Zuo Li broke through again. Pierce let go of Novak, who had no ability to attack independently, and resolutely attacked. Zuo Li once again distributed the ball.

Novak!

The man who had just been bullied by Pierce raised his knife and hit a three-pointer!

Continued!

The Green Army just felt like their scalp was numb. Are these three-point shooting percentages serious?!

Pierce put his hands on his hips and shouted to the two men on the inside: "I can't flank you next time."

There was no way, although Pierce knew that Novak had nothing but three-pointers, but he made the shot, so he couldn't let it go.

In the next round, Pierce wanted to force his way to the basket to cause damage. Zuo Li, who was ambushing on the wing, immediately let go of Perkins. Anyway, this guy has no offensive ability. When Pierce took the ball for a layup, he directly pressed the basketball on it.

On the backboard.

It was overturned even with the man dribbling the ball!

Pierce was still complaining to the referee, so Zuo immediately dribbled the ball to the frontcourt to form a 3-on-2 situation.

Ray Allen, who retreated, looked at Zuo Li and then at the two three-pointers on the flanks who were in a dilemma. How could they defend?

Fight hard!

Ray Allen paid a foul but could not stop Zuo Li from advancing.

It’s 21 again!

"This accurate outside line has finally radiated to the inside line. The Green Army's defense is now uncomfortable no matter what it does." Director Zhang commented.

No one expected this script. They all thought that the Green Army's defense was very strong, but they never expected that the Knicks would use three-pointers to directly tear open this iron defense.

Zuo Li's goal is to break through and attract a flanking attack. If you attack from a flanking attack, I will pass the ball. If it is passed out, will you let it go?

Don’t let go?

Then I'll do it myself, and I'll give you a foul if I beat you.

put?

If you dare to let go, dare to enter!

In the second half of the quarter, the Knicks, who were playing at home, still felt hot. The left winger scored 4 points with a sudden shot from inside and outside. David Lee hit 2 jumpers. Novak once again hit a three-pointer. The Knicks were blooming with more points.

Quickly established a 21-point lead!

Leading by 21 points at halftime, the Greens were dead.

At halftime, the whole world was lamenting the Knicks' fighting ability tonight. 65-44 at halftime, they directly pinned the Green Army to the ground.

He made 13 three-pointers in the half, and made 13 of 17 shots. Whether it was the number of hits or the percentage, he set a record for three-pointers in a half in the playoffs in team history.

"The Green Army is in danger and the situation is over." Yang Yi shook his head.
