NBA: This Center Is So Stable

The game was a big success, but the game was a big success.

Chapter 192 The Elastic Basket

Knicks locker room.

Everyone was united and swept away the pre-game haze.

“With such a wonderful start, I’m starting to like the feeling of playing away games at the North Shore Garden.”

“As Wang said, the opponent is not a team of the same level as us. We are the first in the regular season.”

“Let these Boston guys take a good look at our true strength!”

···

The excited discussions in the locker room seemed to make everyone forget the little episode at the beginning for a while.

Only Wang Song, who scored a double-double in the first half, remained absolutely sober.

For such a small move by Boston, they must counterattack with the power of thunder, so that these Celtics fans will never forget it.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, the noise on the scene was even louder.

For a team that last defeated the Celtics in the playoffs in the last century, Celtics fans were full of contempt.

But after the first two games, they began to realize that this Knicks team was by no means the bottom team in the league.

So when they returned to their home court, they kept putting pressure on the Knicks to maximize the home advantage of the Celtics, which was also an important reason for the Celtics to win back a game.

But this G4 made the Celtics fans feel deeply uncomfortable, and their sonic attacks seemed to be ineffective against the Knicks.

Especially the Asian rookie of the Knicks!

It was difficult for them to have substantial interference with each other at the beginning, even though the two teams had such similar experiences in the regular season and had changed coaches in the middle of the season.

But the dominance of the opponent on both offense and defense in this game made Celtics fans feel unfamiliar.

“At the end of the first half, the Knicks entered the second half with an absolute advantage of 56:43.”

“It is worth mentioning that Wang Song contributed a double-double of 21 points and 15 rebounds in the first half. This is the first 20+15 in the first half of a rookie season in NBA history. If converted into the efficiency of the whole game, Wang Song will get a terrifying data of 40 points and 30 rebounds in this game.”

“The Celtics won the game with Pierce’s explosion in the last game. The Knicks responded in this game. They relied on Wang Song’s terrifying data of a large double-double in the first half to achieve the lead.”

This data broadcast exploded in the text live broadcast room of New Fox Sports.

——【Unbelievable! 20+15 in the first half, this is simply a miracle. 】

——【When the Celtics deliberately slowed down the pace, they could still get this data… Wang Song’s efficiency can be imagined. 】

——【It is said that Wang Song prayed to the sky before the game, and the one who responded to him was Shaquille O’Neal, but in his current state, I think it is difficult for the current Shark to do it. 】

——【Shaq had this dominance five years ago, but now he should forget about it. He can’t touch Wang Song, so he should learn how to be the second to others first. 】

——【The Celtics should fight back in the second half. As the black eight that has attracted much attention, I don’t believe that the Green Army will accept their fate. 】

···

The second half of the game began.

After a lecture, the Celtics returned to the court, and all the players showed a look of hatred against the enemy on their faces.

Although there were some unpleasantness and accusations in the locker room because of the lag, the Green Army still showed the cohesion it should have in front of the game.

Suffering twisted the Celtics into a ball.

At the beginning of the third quarter, under the leadership of Pierce, the Green Army did find some form, and played a small climax of 7:0 to close the score to within double digits.

D’Antoni called the first timeout in the second half.

However, before the players could celebrate, the Celtics fans in the stands could not sit still and started to clamor.

“New York fans, did you see that? This is the real strength of the Celtics.”

“Damn Knicks, don’t think you’ve won! The real game has just begun.”

Faced with the sarcasm of Celtics fans, the state of the Knicks players was more or less affected.

On the bench.

Nash’s face flashed a trace of hesitation, but he decided to speak:

“Boss, the frame seems to have become more bouncy after the change of half.”

Just now, two consecutive three-pointers were missed, and the trajectory of the basketball was very strange, which made Nash full of doubts.

For the Knicks’ core organizers, the trajectory of the ball has always been an important topic.

After he missed his own shot, he also looked at his teammates’ shots and found that the frame in the change of half was indeed more bouncy than in the first half.

“It turns out that I am not the only one who feels this way. Damn Bostonians, they are so mean.”

“In the first half of the game, the Celtics did not have this problem when attacking the basket!”

With the approval of his teammates, Nash confirmed his inner thoughts.

D’Antoni, who originally planned to rearrange the defensive strategy for the Knicks, began to pay attention to this problem.

In view of the Celtics’ previous record, he reported to the technical desk that the basket was too elastic.

But after a test at the Boston home court, it was denied.

Even one of the staff members who has played for the Celtics for many years sneered and said, “Coach D’Antoni, I think there will be no problem with the basket. Maybe you should consider the players’ feel.”

If the assistant coach team had not pulled away in time, they had no doubt that the always calm D’Antoni would make a scene at the North Shore Garden technical desk.

The fans in the front row saw D’Antoni being defeated. Although they didn’t know what happened, they still booed.

The Knicks coach was defeated, which was something the Celtics liked to see.

Although he was pulled away by the assistant coach, D’Antoni, who had calmed down, was still thinking about how to solve this problem.

You know, the second half of the game will not be changed, which means that the Knicks will have to fight with that “problematic” basket.

This away game made D’Antoni and the Knicks players feel sick.

They didn’t want to return to this away game, so they had to win this game.

“Give me the ball, coach!”

The Asian boy’s firm and unyielding tone sounded.

D’Antoni nodded inexplicably.

Since there are problems with the tightness and elasticity of the basket, reducing the strong slamming of the outside line is indeed a solution.

However, this change will cause the Knicks’ offensive method to become single, which is easy to be targeted by the Celtics.

However, the Knicks have no better solution at the moment. Facing this unfavorable factor of the away game, giving the ball to Wang Song is the best way.

Back to the game.

The Celtics players stood on the court arrogantly.

The 7:0 climax was enough to make them stand up straight in the second half.

John Carroll looked at the Knicks players with a smile on his face.

As the initiator of the “basket” incident, there was no shame on his face.

As long as they could win the home game, using some tricks was completely within the plan.

This has always been the style of the Celtics.
