Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

Don't look at the fact that the Celtics and the Knicks are the two teams with the deepest grudges in the past two seasons. Not only did they play eight games in the two years of the regular season, but they also reached the tiebreaker twice in the playoffs, a total of two years of confrontation.

22 times, definitely the most confrontations in the league.

This also allowed Zuo Li to successfully surpass Kobe and become the most unpopular person in the North Shore Garden. Didn’t you see that when Zuo Li entered the stadium today, what the fans did couldn’t be broadcast. It was too eye-catching, that is, Zuo Li

If you change it, call the police!

Of course, what the Celtics experienced in Madison was almost right.

However, the two teams often fought against each other, and the number of fierce fights was not that many. Either you beat me to death, or I beat you to death. The scenes were generally very bloody and violent.

ESPN once selected the most brutal series in history in a summer program. The Spurs vs. Pistons in 2005, the Lakers vs. Celtics in 2008, and the Knicks vs. Celtics in 2009 and 10 were selected as representatives of the 21st century. It can be seen that

The cruelty of the confrontation between the two teams has been recognized.

However, this season, it may be that O'Neal's joining has brought some funny temperament, and the tough guy representatives Tony Allen and Perkins have left the team, the Celtics' iron-blooded characteristics have declined, and many people think Garnett is talented.

It is the source of the Green Army's iron blood. This is half correct. The Wolf King is very tough, but more often than not he fights and retreats. When encountering real difficulties, he will often give in and will not be tough.

Therefore, the confrontation with the Knicks also lost a lot of excitement, which made many basketball fans who like to watch WWE feel very sorry, but it also made many basketball fans who like to watch tactics very satisfied, because after the confrontation dropped, the tactics of the two teams

It's very smooth, and this half is proof of it.

Both teams, inside and outside, performed to their own standards. It can be said that except for Ao Pang who was exhausted and was beaten by Zuo Li and others in turn, this was a half that everyone else was satisfied with.

However, since the game is so inextricable, it is natural to break the game. The Knicks naturally hope to work from the outside. As soon as they came back from the second half, they replaced the backcourt of Ke Liu and Belinelli. They have already opened up the inside.

With a little more strength from the outside than the 2-for-5 shooting in the first half, the Knicks will blossom both inside and outside, and the Celtics' defense will be put to a huge test.

On the contrary, the Celtics have almost no outside potential to tap. After all, Ray Allen made 5 of 6 three-pointers in the first half, and Pierce made 3 of 6. The shooting rate is already exaggerated, and a total of 3-pointers were thrown in the half.

He scored 9 three-pointers. You must know that the Celtics averaged 4 three-pointers per game this season. This has already doubled once more. You cannot expect Ray Allen and others to continue to be so hot in the second half. But they can play inside.

, they are short of people!

The names of Garnett, O'Neal, and O'Neal Jr. sound big and awesome, but after more than 20 games, Rivers also saw that Garnett is old, but he can still make a living, and O'Neal can still make a living.

Even if he has some fighting ability, O'Neal Jr. is completely finished. Injuries and aging have completely destroyed his talent. Now he is a colander on the court. He can still take advantage of the offense, but there is no hope for defense.

He already regrets introducing Double O'Neal. If he could do it over again, he would choose Perkins!

However, the timeline has been changed, and Perkins has gone to the Thunder to shine in advance, so the Celtics currently have no good inside line to use.

But O'Neal also had to be replaced. He had already played 20 minutes in the first half. If I beat him again, he would have to bear the weight of more than 350 pounds. Unfortunately, Rivers replaced the big baby Davis.

As a result, Rivers once again ran into a blind cat and a dead mouse.

Davis, a pudgy center, quickly revitalized the Celtics' offense after coming on the court. His inside-and-out shooting helped the Celtics score 6 points in a row at the beginning of the third quarter, which directly widened the point difference between the two teams on the court.

.

Zuo Li, who was sitting on the bench recovering his health, was also surprised by Davis's energy. Such a heavy guy could actually turn around and pass David Lee cleanly. Is it because Davis is too strong or because David Lee is defensive?

Too bad!

"Hey! You're so embarrassed." Zuo Li stood up and taunted David Li.

David Lee was very angry after being ridiculed. He decided to guard Big Baby to prove himself!

However, Davis did not force it this time, and instead ran back to catch Rondo's pass and made an alley-oop!

"omg!!!"

"Davis! He is like a flying wild boar! David Lee is helpless in front of him!" Barkley howled.

Kenny Smith took a look and said, "Good guy, this is a meeting of the same kind. I'm so excited."

However, he has to admit that this reverse alley-oop is a bit interesting. He plays it very smartly and flexibly. He doesn't look like someone who weighs nearly 350 pounds at all!

I have to say that this is Davis's ability. Although he is a short and stocky insider, he is not slow. On the contrary, he is more flexible than ordinary insiders.

Although limited by his height, he is not good at protecting the inside frame and has average rebounding ability. However, on the offensive end, he is more threatening than expected. He has mid-range, can grab secondary offensive rebounds, and has certain low-post skills.

Don’t forget, he wreaked havoc on the Lakers inside line in 2008!

And this goal directly widened the point difference to 8 points. The Knicks obviously didn't expect that even if they missed two shots from the outside, the opponent actually opened up inside first!

And he’s a character they didn’t expect!

For a moment, the Knicks were a little panicked. D'Antoni also made a mistake here. After Davis scored 8 points in a row, he should have chosen to replace Zuo Li, but he hoped that Zuo Li would get more rest time.

The result was that during the three minutes of Zuoli's break, the Celtics went on an 11-3 spurt. Except for Belinelli's three-pointer, no one else from the Knicks scored!

When Zuo Li came back, the Celtics still led by eight points.

Originally, Knicks fans thought that Zuo Li's return would quickly close the gap, but the Celtics replaced the fat duo of O'Neal and Davis, who used their weight to constantly put pressure on Zuo Li.

For example, Zuo Li just went to catch the ball in the low post and saw O'Neal roaring.

"Defend!"

Davis quickly encircled!

"I'll go!" Even Zuo Li was a little frightened when faced with the joint attack of these two. Although he was very strong in confrontation and was sure to beat either of them, the weight difference between the two was too big.

Got it!

Zuo Li could only turn around and pass out to avoid being blocked, but O'Neal and Davis still bumped into Zuo Li.

This shot made many fans secretly stunned. That is to say, Zuo Li. If someone else weighed nearly 700 pounds in total, he would have been hospitalized let alone playing ball.

Fortunately, Curry fought hard and threw in this three-pointer, otherwise Zuo Li would have been so angry that he would vomit blood.

However, although Curry started, the Celtics also used Davis to continuously score points on the offensive end. Taking advantage of Davis's containment, Ray Allen's three-pointers continued.

If a family has an old man, it is like having a treasure. There is a reason why these veterans can still remain competitive even at such a long age.

At the end of the third quarter, the Celtics led 89-81 by 8 points!

The Knicks encountered new problems
