Guard With a Knife

"Frankly speaking, I would never let a rookie override the authority of the head coach. This is an unforgivable crime in front of academic coaches. I don't know how the Knicks will deal with this matter in the end, but... this Definitely a scandal in the NBA."

When Doc Rivers was interviewed before the game, he unsurprisingly took the initiative to mention this matter.

Then, Paul Pierce also followed up on this matter: "I don't know the history of the Knicks' locker room culture. But if I were in the Knicks, I would never allow a fledgling rookie to use various means to take charge of the entire team. The right to speak. I think Zach Randolph or Quentin should at least stand up and say something."

The two generals obviously want to create some pressure on the Knicks in public opinion.

This is a very common operating technique in the nba, and the Zen master Phil Jackson is very proficient in it. He always likes to cause some troubles for his opponents before the game, or criticize some referees' remarks, so that the game will tend to his own side invisibly.

However, this time the Bostonians were obviously a little too rusty, and they did not achieve the expected results.

When the reporters threw these questions to the Knicks, Steve Marbury gave a very firm official response: "This is the Knicks' internal affairs, and outsiders have no right to interfere. They are talking nonsense How to avoid losing in the second game is what they should worry about now."

And Zach Randolph faced the camera with a smile: "Paul Pierce is right, I should really stand up and say something. So, listen to me now. I support all of Snoopy's actions, he is my My brother, he brought me an unprecedented game experience, and I appreciate the feeling of playing with him. If you insist on saying that Snoopy used conspiracy to usurp the team's control, then... I am the second accomplice. "

Zach Randolph's statement was beyond everyone's expectations. After all, Randolph has never been a friendly person in the eyes of reporters. When he was in Portland, he had many disputes with the head coach, and he often used old punches to treat his teammates. The defensive champion Pat Rubenson once ate his iron fist, and was sent directly to the Blazers because of his status in the team.

But now, Randolph, the thorny head who is full of misdemeanors and refuses to accept anything, actually obeys Snoopy.

And Snoopy has no street background. Looking through his resume, in addition to being excellent in character and learning, he was born in a wealthy family. Their original families were completely on opposite sides of the world...but now, Zach Randolph is willing to serve as his assistant.

Doug himself did not respond to the question, nor did he answer questions about how to deal with Randolph.

As the Boston reporters surrounded him,

What he said the most was: No comment!

However, when the reporter talked about Lagalondo's remarks, he responded.

When Lagalondo was interviewed before the game, he did not criticize Snoopy for usurping the team's power. He even made it clear that the point guard should be the coach on the field. There is nothing wrong with that. Good for discussion.

However, when asked about his evaluation of Doug, he said disapprovingly: "He is actually a center, he is used to working in the penalty area, and he does not have the ability to run the team outside the three-point line. It is based on the help of teammates. I really hope that he can really stand in front of me and compete with me one-on-one."

Doug's response: "He's going to get the chance."

"Also, the thing that Lagalondo must be soberly aware of is that the position of the court will not become a shackle that binds me. If Lagalondo can survive in the penalty area like me, I believe Doc Rivers will never It's going to be a headache like it is now."

Doug rarely responded to the provocateur before the game.

His answer maintained his high standard, and he told reporters in a non-disguised manner: I know everything that Lagalondo knows. And what I am good at, he may not be able to.

...

The second game between the Knicks and the Celtics is still in Boston's North Shore Garden.

Although the home team lost the first game at home, it did not dampen the enthusiasm of the Bostonians. The North Shore Garden Arena was still full of voices, and their support for the team was even stronger.

But ... that doesn't change the fact that the Celtics have been in a slump from the start.

But Zach Randolph/Milicic are standing in the oil and gas zone at the same time, and the outside line is supplemented by Snoopy interspersed. Glenn Davis and Leon Powe have only a sad fate of swallowing the dumplings.

In the middle, Paul Pierce/Lagalondo and even Eddie House tried to attack the basket and make fouls, but it became useless as Doug made three consecutive defensive interferences, and was instead caught by Marbury Chance completed three effective counterattacks, and the point difference was widened.

"Paul Pierce played very well, and Ray Allen even hit 6 three-pointers. However, the rebounds and interior scoring they lost became the main reasons for their failure. The Knicks are too strong inside, and they can easily create Attacking at the basket, and completing a quick defensive counterattack when the Celtics missed a shot. Although Lagalondo invited Snoopy to a decisive battle on the outside before the game, in fact, Duns Snoopy stood in front of him, he didn't take any real advantage, but Snoopy hit two jumpers."

"Lagalondo still has his merits, but ... compared to Snoopy's versatility, he is half a body behind."

TNT commentator Earl Johnson commented after the game.

111:97.

This is the final score of the two teams.

Boston lost two home-court advantages in a row. From Doc Rivers' dejected face after the game, it is not difficult to see that facing the Knicks inside group, they have neither the strength to parry nor the countermeasures.

After all, their outside Big Three have done what they can do to the extreme.

Paul Pierce, 29 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal.

Ray Allen, 27 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists.

Lagalondo, 15 points, 11 assists and 9 rebounds.

Their performance was beyond reproach.

"When Zach Randolph had 30 points and 11 rebounds / David Lee had 21 points and 7 rebounds / Milicic had 15 points and 10 rebounds / Snoopy had 13 points and 9 rebounds and even Eddie Curry had 8 points and 2 rebounds It's hard for the Boston Celtics to win when it's in the books!"

Kenny Smith sighed: "The playoffs are still dominated by inside players."

"It seems that Herb Williams is not an ordinary person. Tonight, the Knicks not only played an efficient offense, but also provided a very resilient defense. Snoopy had 6 blocks. In fact, He was just one rebound and four blocks away from a quadruple-double!"

Earl Johnson did not forget to praise Herb Williams.

"If the rumors are true, it should be Snoopy's credit. In fact, our cameras have captured Snoopy holding a tactical board more than once to arrange the movement shots." Charles Barkley said: "Actually, I support Snoopy's. If he can win teams, why not let him run the team? LeBron James doesn't get criticized for it."

LeBron James?

Kenny Smith sucked in a breath of air. He thought in his bones that Doug was far from James, and they were not at the same level of players at all.

But now, the Knicks have won two consecutive cities in the North Shore Garden. He is even very likely to sweep the defending champions in this series.

Such a result is enough for him to withdraw his disrespectful words.

So, he just said softly: "Snoopy still needs a long time and more games to prove himself."
