NBA: No. 1 Forward

After a lapse of one day, on May 4, Madison Square Garden ignited the flames of war again. \u003c/p\u003e

The Knicks are different from the Celtics. The Knicks' ancestors were not rich. Since the establishment of the team, there have only been two championships, and it has not won a championship in 37 years. \u003c/p\u003e

Although Madison Garden is known as the Mecca of basketball, the three Knicks are not as good as one Celtic in terms of basketball honors. \u003c/p\u003e

\u003ca id="wzsy" href="www."\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e

Compared with North Shore Gardens, the sky above Madison Square Garden looks very empty. \u003c/p\u003e

O'Neill stared at the dome over Madison's Nursing Stadium, and then at Lian Dao. \u003c/p\u003e

I don't know if after a few seasons, there will be another championship banner on the dome of this arena because of Lian Dao. \u003c/p\u003e

O'Neal is very optimistic about Lian Dao, he has cooperated with many stars, Hardaway, Kobe, Wade, James, Garnett, Pierce...\u003c/p\u003e

But Lian Dao's feeling to O'Neill is different from the stars he has worked with. \u003c/p\u003e

Lian Dao is a player who can make the team better. \u003c/p\u003e

What is a player who can make a team better? First of all, he can't have too many shortcomings, and he doesn't need his teammates to help you fill in the holes. \u003c/p\u003e

For example, some players are very capable of scoring, but their defense is poor. They score two points, but their opponents return three points. \u003c/p\u003e

Such a player cannot be said to be a player who makes the team better. \u003c/p\u003e

And some players' scoring is based on a large number of unreasonable shots of their own. Although he scored high, he destroyed the best chemical reaction of the team, and the offense of the entire team was also messed up. \u003c/p\u003e

A player who can really make the team better, he can make the team play more smoothly even when he feels bad, and he can stand up when the team encounters a crisis. Save the team from fire and water. \u003c/p\u003e

In O'Neill's eyes,

Lian Dao is such a player. \u003c/p\u003e

In the first three quarters of the last game, Lian Dao often encountered double-teams, but instead of making wild shots, he sent out assists one after another. \u003c/p\u003e

But in the fourth quarter, when the opponents continued to counterattack, when the teammates had no way to score. Lian Dao can stand up and score again and again to help the team out of the predicament. \u003c/p\u003e

Throughout the fourth quarter, O'Neill was deeply impressed by Lian Dao's performance. \u003c/p\u003e

That guy is just a sophomore. According to media reports, he is not yet 21 years old. At this age, most rookies are struggling in the military training of veterans, but he can lead the team to the first record in the league. , to get the MVP trophy. \u003c/p\u003e

To what extent he can grow in the future, I am afraid that only God can know. \u003c/p\u003e

O'Neill believes that as long as the Knicks' management does not die, Lian Dao will definitely bring the Knicks a pennant that symbolizes the team's highest honor. \u003c/p\u003e

However, O'Neill does not want this to happen this season! Although he is determined to retire, he also wants to touch the O'Brien Cup again before retiring. \u003c/p\u003e

He doesn't want to have one less championship ring in his career than the Snakes in Los Angeles. \u003c/p\u003e

Otherwise, after I retire, I will definitely be ridiculed by the stinky snakes in Los Angeles if I meet again. \u003c/p\u003e

"Shaquille, what are you looking at?"\u003c/p\u003e

Pierce moved closer to O'Neill and looked where O'Neill was looking. He only saw the ceiling, so he asked curiously. \u003c/p\u003e

"Oh, it's nothing, Paul!" Pierce's words interrupted O'Neill's wild thoughts, and he regained his focus. \u003c/p\u003e

...\u003c/p\u003e

Lian Dao is very excited today. The last game gave Lian Dao enough confidence. He now wants to win two consecutive victories at home, so that the pressure will be completely given to the Celtics. The Knicks will be relatively relaxed in the North Shore Garden, known as the devil's home court. \u003c/p\u003e

Moreover, he didn't want to disappoint the home fans when playing at home. \u003c/p\u003e

A few minutes later, the game officially started. \u003c/p\u003e

The entire Madison Square Garden fans stood up and cheered. The momentum of the Knicks home fans was no less than that of any team in the league. \u003c/p\u003e

"The game has officially started. This jump ball is still the Knicks first to get the ball! The Knicks' starting lineup has not changed. The Celtics replaced Jeff Green at the fourth position. Kevin Garnett It is rare to play the fifth position in the game, but it is not difficult for Garnett!"\u003c/p\u003e

"After the last match, basically both sides should have a preliminary understanding of the strength of their respective opponents. Now it depends on who is stronger."\u003c/p\u003e

"Moreover, with the continuous development of the game, the secrets of the two sides will only become less and less. At the end of the fight, it is basically a bayonet!"\u003c/p\u003e

Barkley is optimistic about the Knicks as always, especially in the last game when Garnett broke out and Pierce failed to win the game even though he played well. \u003c/p\u003e

In this game, Barkley is still not optimistic about this senior team. \u003c/p\u003e

Pierce's defense against Lian Dao is still as tight as ever. After the last match, Pierce has basically adapted to Lian Dao's offense. \u003c/p\u003e

The game is like this, it is to improve through continuous adaptation. \u003c/p\u003e

As a veteran of the league, Pierce's defense is very smart, and he is not inferior to Chris Paul in the use of some small moves. \u003c/p\u003e

When pressing on Lian Dao, his hands would always pinch, buckle, and scratch Lian Dao inadvertently, but he would never make Lian Dao feel comfortable. \u003c/p\u003e

It didn't matter to Lian Dao, since Pierce was pressing him hard, Lian Dao started to move around constantly, and he was not in a hurry to get the ball. \u003c/p\u003e

Like the last game, Lian Dao kept running around and walking Pierce. Anyway, this old guy is 33 years old, and it is impossible to compare with Lian Dao in terms of physical fitness. \u003c/p\u003e

Pierce was also bitter. He knew that Lian Dao knew that his physical reserves were insufficient, but he had no choice but he knew that Rivers still had a countermeasure to deal with Lian Dao today. \u003c/p\u003e

Seeing that Lian Dao was still pressed, the Knicks' first attack was handed over to Stoudemire. \u003c/p\u003e

After receiving the ball, Stoudemire put his shoulder against Jeff Green and attacked inside, then turned around and passed Jeff Green to the basket, layup with his right hand, shook Jeff Green, and then scored with a backhand layup. \u003c/p\u003e

After suffering a loss on Garnett in the last game, Stoudemire started the game a lot more cautiously. \u003c/p\u003e

Like Duncan, Garnett's athletic ability has regressed a lot, but the styles of the two are different. Stoudemire was in the West all the year round, and he only played against the Celtics twice a year, so he is not very familiar with Garnett. . \u003c/p\u003e

After playing against each other, Stoudemire has basically adapted to Garnett's defense. Unfortunately, the Celtics changed in this game, and Jeff Green, who had never started before, was replaced at the fourth position. \u003c/p\u003e

Jeff Green's defensive strength is obviously not as good as Garnett's, especially in the fourth position. Jeff Green's height is a weakness. For Stoudemire, it will be much easier to play. \u003c/p\u003e

"Jeff Green's defense did not disturb Amare too much. Once the Celtics adopted the defensive strategy of the previous game against Sickle, this is a great test for Pierce's physical fitness."\u003c/p\u003e

"You know, Sickle's off-the-ball running ability and physical fitness have been verified in the last game! And fighting the Knicks is not a good tactic for the Celtics."\u003c/p\u003e

Smith is a little disappointed that the Celtics have not changed the defensive strategy of Lian Dao in the slightest. If it is still the defensive strategy of the last game, the Celtics are likely to lose miserably. \u003c/p\u003e

Rajon Rondo advanced with the ball, and the Celtics players moved in an orderly manner. \u003c/p\u003e

Rivers walked on the sidelines, watching every move of the Celtics players on the field, and observing the performance of the players by the way. \u003c/p\u003e

Lian Dao continued to press Pierce closely, and in Lian Dao's mind, Pierce's threat was no less than that of the wolf king. \u003c/p\u003e

Even his level of danger is a level higher than that of the Wolf King. You must know that Pierce still scored 24 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists in the last game under the strict defense of Lian Dao. \u003c/p\u003e

Lian Dao will never underestimate Pierce's scoring ability. \u003c/p\u003e

But this time, the Celtics' offense didn't look for Pierce. \u003c/p\u003e

Rajon Rondo called Garnett for a pick-and-roll from the outside, then Rondo made a breakthrough, and Garnett also began to cut in. I thought it was a simple breakthrough tactic. \u003c/p\u003e

Garnett and Rondo often play this kind of cooperation, and the effect is also very good. \u003c/p\u003e

However, this time Rondo did not pass the ball to Garnett who cut in, nor did he attack himself. Instead, he turned his wrist and threw the ball to Jeff Green, who was holding Stoudemire on the left waist and asked for the ball. \u003c/p\u003e

Stoudemire originally wanted to push Jeff Green out, but he didn't expect that after receiving the ball this time, Jeff Green would turn around and face the frame to attack, with his eyes facing each other, which caught Stoudemire by surprise. \u003c/p\u003e
