NBA: In what era, still playing traditional basketball

Chapter 100

America.

New York.

The Celtics arrived in the nation's largest city on the team's plane.

In tomorrow afternoon.

They will be at Madison Square Garden, a basketball mecca.

Play the first round G3 match with the Knicks.

And this game is also a life-and-death battle for the Knicks.

As the nation's largest city, New Yorkers have their own unique pride.

They never give any opponent a good face.

So at the first time of the arrival of the Celts.

Countless Knicks fans gathered outside the hotel.

Sent their sincere wishes.

"Falke, Yes !!"

"Farke, Celtic!"

"Farke, Larry Bird!!"

"Go back to Boston!"

"New Yorkers are your dad!!"

As soon as Yes and the others appeared, all kinds of greetings kept coming out of their mouths.

The boos in the sky made Ben and Kidd and others who experienced these for the first time sweat coldly.

"Ye, is this the away trip to the playoffs, the atmosphere is too scary!"

"It's already 12 o'clock, are they planning to quarrel for a while?"

At 12 o'clock in the evening, Kidd knocked on Yes's door, and Shiji complained to Yes irritably.

If the boos of the fans when you first checked into the hotel can be regarded as a unique away atmosphere.

Then it's past 12 o'clock now, and the noise outside shows no signs of stopping.

It was clearly prepared.

The fans are going to use noise not to let them rest.

How will this affect the state of tomorrow's game?

"Didn't you let the people at the hotel handle it?"

Yes opened the curtains and looked at the number of people outside and said, "What do they say?" "

"Hmph, said that it was called to the police, but an official came downstairs, and I couldn't persuade it at all!"

"I think they did it on purpose."

"The whole of New York doesn't want us to win!" Kidd said this, and the more he spoke, the more angry he became.

In the NBA, in order to win, many teams will deliberately do things on their home turf.

The Celts, for example, would manipulate a certain floor.

Let the opponent who does not know the truth make a mistake.

The Spurs, on the other hand, chose to deliberately damage the air conditioning at home.

Let the opponent cause cramps in the heat.

But these behaviors generally occur in the stadium.

Like New York, harassing opponents outside the hotel.

Or the first time.

Don't even want the face.

Ye Si shook his head, and his eyes gradually became unkind.

Since New York fans welcome themselves so much.

I can't give them an unforgettable memory tomorrow!

Eventually, people gathered outside the hotel.

It was only after 2 a.m. that he gradually left.

And the Celtic players who have been tired for a day.

Finally a good rest.

............

The next day.

4 p.m.

Madison Square Garden Arena.

"I must say that the Knicks' hopes of a comeback in this series are almost zero, and the gap between the two teams is too big!"

"Perhaps, the only suspense is whether they can win a game and avoid being swept out!"

Before the game, in the ESPN commentary box, the two commentators were obviously not optimistic about the Knicks.

In NBA history, the Black Eight miracle itself is extremely rare.

And want to be 0-2 behind.

Winning three games in a row as eighth, and reversing the cut, no team has ever done it.

So for the Knicks.

There is only one goal, to avoid sweeps and win today's battle for dignity.

Boos throughout Madison Square Garden.

It hasn't stopped since the Celtics players walked onto the pitch to warm up.

Fans in New York continued the "enthusiasm" of their first meeting yesterday. "

It is the toughest fan group in the league.

............

"Today will never be our last game of the season!"

"Even for the fans on the scene, we will never be swept away!"

Ahead of the game, Knicks coach Jeff Van Gundy was pleased with the violent mood of the fans today.

When I came back home, it felt different.

It's full of power.

For the sake of this lovely group of fans, the game must be won!

"That's right, I won't disappoint the fans who support me!"

"Today, the Celtics will lose!"

The leader of the Knicks, Ewing, is also full of confidence.

He saw the exhaustion in the faces of the Celtic players!

Rumor has it that fans went outside their hotel yesterday and had a fuss.

It seems that success has affected their rest.

The time of day, the right place, the people and all are on their side.

Ewing didn't even know how to lose!

On the other side, the Celtics' half.

When Ye Si faced the reporter, the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing an amiable smile: "I promise the fans present that the process of tonight's game will be very cruel!" "

Obviously, what Knicks fans did last night annoyed Yets.

He won't have any subordinates mercy for a while!

Must be given to the New Yorkers, an unforgettable game.

Let them know.

Any shady little trick.

will lead to even more tragic results!

The game is about to start.

The starters from both teams took to the court.

On the Celtic side, it is still the usual fivesome.

Kidd + Curry + Vin + Big Ben + S.

The Knicks, on the other hand, changed formations.

Point guard: Alan Houston.

Shooting guard: Buck Williams.

Small forward: Larry Johnson.

Power forward: Charles Oakley.

Center: Patrick Ewing.

They replaced point guard John Starks and made Allan Houston a guest point guard.

Sent forward Buck Williams.

Raised the height of the team as a whole.

The purpose speaks for itself.

Hope to rely on more strikers to help Ewing and prevent Yes's attack.

Two teams of centers stand on either side of the halfway line ready to jump the ball.

As the referee throws the basketball high.

Yesi's eyes changed instantly.

Rocketing into the air, he helped the Celtics get the ball.

And Ewing surprised everyone and chose to give up the jump ball.

The first time to return to the defense of the inside line!

Unfortunately, there is no use for eggs!

The moment Kidd received the ball, he directly crossed the long pass at halftime.

Yes received the ball and went straight into the box with three big strides.

After dangling past Ewing's defense.

One-arm hanging frame!

"Bang dang!!"

The basket trembled frantically under Yes's hands.

As if there was a bad premonition in advance.

2：0

After scoring the ball, Yes put his right hand to his ear and listened.

The left hand is palmed up and waved.

As if signaling the audience, boo, go ahead!

Provoke the audience!

After scoring the first goal in the opening game, Yes went straight to the fans of the entire Madison Square Garden.

A provocation was launched!

"Woohoo!! The classic European step buckle after Yes jumped the ball! "

"Patrick even gave up the jump ball and went straight back to defense, but he couldn't block Yes's attack!"

The classic leaf scoring made ESPN's Mike Brin exclaim.

Familiar taste, familiar feeling.

The Celtics' classic jumping ball fast-attack is finally on the playoff stage!

"After the dunk landed, Yes directly provoked the fans, as if disgusted that their boos were not loud enough, and put his right hand to his ear!"

"I must say, this Yes's original celebratory action is really handsome!"

"Listen to the boos of all the away fans and ask who else dares to be so arrogant!"

As the commentary says, Yes's action is Chiguoguo's provocation to Knicks fans.

This caused all kinds of abuse in the audience to rise and fall one after another, without a pause at all.

Looking back, Ewing continued to shake and found that he couldn't break through Yes's defense at all.

It ended with a turning hook.

“DUANG！" (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

The basketball smashed on top of the basket and bounced out.

Big Ben under the basket, after taking down the rebound.

Fight back quickly!

Ewing faced Yas's offense, both in the regular season and in the current playoffs.

What stands out is that it has repeatedly lost battles.

This time is no exception.

After Yes received the ball from outside the three-point line, he didn't wait for Ewing to stand on his feet.

Directly after a vigorous dribble, an extremely gorgeous quick turn!

Sticking to his body, he turned into the paint area.

“OH！ MY！ GOD！！ "

Yes's action made countless fans at the scene exclaim.

This turn is not only fast, but also when a big man like Yes makes it.

There is a strange sense of discord

"Bang!!"

Take off in the air and dunk with both hands!

40！

"Yes's turn and his hands snapped, and he used a guard-like dribbling to turn and tease Patrick!"

"Tonight seems to be particularly fond of pounding the basket, as if in response to the fans' boos in this way!"

"The louder the boo, the harder he hits!"

As the commentary says.

For the rest of the first quarter, Yes played harder and harder.

It's not just individual offense pulling full.

He also constantly organized his teammates to fight back like mercury.

The Celtics started an offensive frenzy.

In the first quarter, the two teams played 40:24

The Celtics directly stretched the gap to 16 points.

"40 points in a single quarter, the Celtics scored the highest score in a single quarter of the season in the first quarter!"

"I thought that the Knicks would bring some trouble to the opponent after returning to the home court, but what I didn't expect was that there would be a posture of entering garbage time in the first quarter!"

On the ESPN commentary table, Mike Brin looked at Yees and said with a smile: "Yees bombed 20 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists in the first quarter!" "

"It's another playoff single-quarter 20+ performance, and it's worth mentioning that the last time Yes hit a single-quarter 20+ was the last game!"

"He also became the first player in NBA history to score 20+ in the first quarter in three consecutive games!"

"Yes made history again!"

............

Inter-holiday breaks.

On the Celtics bench, head coach Bird is instilling chicken soup for the soul in the players.

But at this time, Yes suddenly stood up.

After clapping his hands and gathering everyone's attention, he said:

"Guys, in the next time, I ask you to increase the intensity of the team at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends!"

"Push them in front of me on the defensive end!"

"At the same time, make a bold shot on the offensive end!"

"Today we are not only going to win, but also to win beautiful!!"

Yes, although he led his opponent by 16 points in the first quarter, Yees was not satisfied.

But he decided to give New York fans an unforgettable night's sleep.

It's not enough to win!

A big win is also necessary!

Make the entire Madison Square Garden unforgettable!

"Don't worry, boss!"

"Hehe, Ye Si is angry, the consequences are serious!"

"I wonder if Knicks fans will regret what they did yesterday when the game is over!"

After listening to Yes's arrangement, Big Ben, Kidd, Bowen and the others all nodded excitedly.

They all know that there is a good show to watch next.

The break ended and the second quarter of the game continued.

Neither team chose to put bench players on the court.

"The second quarter was crucial for the Knicks, and if you can't chase the difference to single digits, there is almost no hope of winning this game."

"As we all know, the Celtics often play a wave of flow in the third quarter to finish the opponent."

"So for the Knicks, they must not pin their hopes on the second half!"

Right between the explanations and the talks.

The Knicks' offense struck.

Alan Houston dribbled after halftime.

Singles Kidd directly by his height!

Under Kidd's close pressing.

The dribbling rushed to the inside, then flew high and held the basketball high with his right hand.

Smash the frame with one arm!

Unfortunately, he did not find out that this was a defensive trap!

Yes, who had long been ambushed by the inner line, flew into the sky.

The raised hands are like a copper wall and iron wall, straddling between the basket and the basketball.

"Bang!"

Even more outrageous.

Yes, who held his hands high, grabbed the basketball in the air.

Like an aerial robbery, this cap is done!

Next round.

The Knicks haven't realized that something horrible is coming.

After Ewing received the ball from mid-range.

Raise your hand and throw. (Money)

"Bang!"

Again yes.

He is a pillar of Optimus in the restricted area.

Directly a big hat on the front, and pressed the ball down again!

“OH！ MY！ GOD！！！ "

"At the beginning of the second quarter, the Celtics suddenly increased the intensity of their defense, and Yers blocked the opponent in succession, preventing the Knicks from scoring!"

"Maybe because of his excellent offensive ability, we overlook the fact that Yes is also a top defender!"

"He is the strongest candidate for DPOY this season!"

"It seems that the Celtic side is not satisfied with the current leading score, they are still chasing and fighting!"

Just as the voice fell.

Yes went straight to a long pass from a quarterback and found Dale Curry, who had run to the opposite half.

The latter catches the ball from outside the three-point line.

After glancing at it.

Legs slightly bent, bow bend to shoot arrows!

"Ugh!"

Faced by the Celtics, who suddenly increased their defensive intensity.

The Knicks played a little confused.

The loss on the offensive end also makes them lose one on the defensive end.
