NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

It's not just the New York media, or even just traditional print media.

That night, all the American media that Dolan could contact and had a good relationship with received his message. He hoped that they could do him a favor and reward them handsomely!
Well... the most important thing, of course, is the latter word.

Thank you very much!

In view of Dolan's generous reward, many media outlets gave them face. Countless print media, large and small newspapers from all over the United States, reported the incident from various angles and in various ways.

Why was Marbury NDPed in the fourth quarter? Why was Marbury unable to play after failing three consecutive singles? Did he have an argument with Duncan? What happened during that timeout?
In addition to print media, a large number of related videos have also appeared on YOUTUBE, which has been developing rapidly in recent months!

Some people analyzed the timeout, some analyzed Marbury's playing style, some analyzed the conflict between Duncan and Marbury, there was also a lip-reading master who translated the lines of all the Celtics players during the timeout, and there was a micro-expression master who analyzed everyone's little movements and psychology.

There are even a few tarot card players who say that Marbury is destined to suffer this disaster!
In short, as long as you open YOUTUBE and enter the topic of "basketball", the first thing you see is not the flying slam dunk, the dazzling dribbling, the pass with eyes behind the head or the fierce and violent conflict on the court.

All the basketball videos you can see on YOUTEBE this evening are about the Celtics’ infighting.

People who don’t know the inside story might think that the Celtics were organizing a live broadcast of a team-wide fight at Madison Square Garden!
In short, no matter whether the fans watched this game or not, and whether they noticed Marbury's early departure, as long as they follow the NBA, they will know about the Celtics' infighting!

Of course, many media outlets have said that this matter is not credible, saying that the internal atmosphere of the Celtics is very good. Many people have also said that the internal strife is completely false, and that the media today has lost all their dignity in order to make money.

But how to say it?

The organizer, co-organizer, and referee are all my people, what right do you have to fight with me?

The traditional media is funded by Dolan, and the new online media is my own industry, Mr. Lin, so the voices speaking for the Celtics have long disappeared in the crowd.

Not worth mentioning at all!
This terrible situation has made the Celtics feel deserted by everyone. All reporters will ask this question when they interview or meet Celtics players or Celtics staff.

"What happened between Stephon Marbury and Tim Duncan?"

Normally, this kind of thing is easy to deal with. At this time of the season, Duncan and Marbury bowed their heads to each other, admitted their mistakes, and then stood up hand in hand to show that they are brothers. They even slept in each other's arms at night.

Soon all the trouble will be gone.

But the problem is, Marbury is gone.

It was like this guy had completely disappeared. Not only could the reporters not find him, the Boston players couldn't find him, and even his family and friends couldn't find him.

This willful guy simply quit and completely disappeared from the world.

Now that the person is gone, it’s even harder to explain.

The Celtics were in a state of panic before the start of the sixth game.

Even when Auerbach personally went out to teach his players lessons, to comfort them and to soothe them, no good results were achieved.

This team gave people a feeling that all the fighting spirit was gone, and the players were in a panic because they really didn't know where Marbury had gone, nor did they know what was going on within the team.

Everyone's mentality was pretty bad and the whole team was in chaos.

And the more this time, the more the Celtics need time and space to resolve these disturbances, the sixth game is about to begin!

They didn't have time to deal with the matter, and they didn't even have time to think of a way to cover it up on the surface.

The sixth game of the series begins!

Marbury still didn't show up.

Without Marbury, the Celtics' press officer wouldn't even dare to say things like "the internal conflict is fictitious", "it never happened", "the players get along very well with each other".

Who knows if Marbury will jump out and slap you in the face after you say it.

This guy is completely out of control. The result of being out of control is that the entire Celtics team has to go onto the court with a very uneasy mood to play the most important and crucial Game 6 of the series for them.

This is also what many people think, the Celtics' last chance!
If they missed this game, they would have lost two games in a row to the Knicks, and the 3:1 situation would have turned into 3:3. Moreover, the next crucial game would have to be played at Madison Square Garden.

If we miss this game, the morale of both sides will be reversed, and the mentality of both sides will be completely different. At that time, it will be the Knicks' turn to have the absolute upper hand!

"The Knicks have waited for their best chance! Regardless of whether the Celtics' internal strife is true or not, whether it really happened, and what the so-called "personal reasons" for Marbury's departure are, the Knicks encountered a broken version of the Celtics at the most dangerous moment."

Before the start of Game 6, Barkley continued his pre-game analysis as usual.

"The game hasn't even started yet, but the balance of victory has already begun to tilt towards the Knicks! They waited for their opponents to have problems."

"Let's see if the Knicks can once again survive and turn their tiny glimmer of hope into a winning advantage, thus reversing the series!"

Following Barkley's voice, players from both teams once again walked onto the court.

The Knicks did not change their starting lineup, they continued with their most stable starting five this season.

As for the Celtics, Marbury is not there!

This guy has made up his mind to quit his job.

"That bastard." Auerbach in the box gnashed his teeth. After making sure that Marbury would not show up, he made a decision -

This bastard is trying to disappear, right?

Very good, I will make you disappear from the alliance!
You will never be able to play in this league again!
Come on, let’s see who is more ruthless!

See who can't afford to play!

Of course, Marbury, who is somewhere at this time, has no idea that his NBA career has ended because of his rather willful behavior. He will definitely not be able to return to this league.

"Where's Stephen?" Lin Tian was still relaxed, looking at Duncan, Pierce and others with a smile on his face and said, "Are you really fighting among yourselves?"

“Don’t play dumb!” Duncan’s face was gloomy. He rarely responded to Lin Tian’s trash talk: “You used some tricks well! I admire you!”

"What, Tim? What are you talking about?" Lin Tian scratched his head and said with a look of wanting a beating: "I don't quite understand what you are saying."

"FUXX!" Even Duncan, who rarely swears, was annoyed by Lin Tian's attitude of pretending to be stupid and not answering the question directly. After cursing a swear word, he ignored this bastard.

If you can’t win with words, then let the game speak for itself!

but……

Judging from the game, the Celtics are no match for the Knicks.

It's not just because they are missing Marbury. In today's Celtics team, Marbury is at most the fourth or even fifth player on the team. Whether he plays or not will certainly cause some loss of strength to the team, but it is not a fatal thing.

The Celtics can find a replacement for him internally.

But the question is: Why did he disappear, and will I be the next player to disappear from the team? Did Duncan ask him to leave, or was it Rivers or Pierce who did it?

The entire Celtics team was in a state of genuine panic, with everyone feeling as if they had lost something.

It’s not about how much everyone likes Marbury, nor how good their relationship with Marbury is.

It’s simply because Marbury’s disappearance was too sudden and too confusing.

The other thing is...

Those videos on YOUTUBE are so true!
The players who had experienced it firsthand were doubting whether what they said was insider information that they, as an insider, had never seen or heard of. Anyway, the Celtics team had no intention of fighting tonight.

Except maybe Duncan.

This guy was still standing diligently next to the center circle, waiting for Howard to run to the frontcourt as soon as he succeeded in the jump ball, and then ran to the area where he usually liked to launch attacks.

Duncan is not ready to give up. For him, this game is still the Celtics' best chance to advance to the next round!
As long as they make it to the next round, Duncan believes that all problems can be solved and all problems will no longer be problems!
The only question is, can they make it to the next round?

Tony Allen's ball did not reach Duncan.

In terms of control, passing, vision, and talent level, Allen is far inferior to Marbury!
When Marbury was not on the court, Duncan realized that the team's already terrible offensive tactics and tactical system had become even worse and stagnant.

He even had trouble catching the ball.

Allen was tightly entangled by Lin Tian, ​​Pierce was thinking about playing singles, and Davis was originally a lone wolf player.

The rest of Howard?

Pure finishing point. When he gets the ball, the best thing to do is to think about nothing and just try to dunk. As for other things, the more Howard does at this stage, the more mistakes he makes.

For a full three minutes into the game, with Lin Tian guarding Allen tightly and Stoudemire and Okur attacking Duncan from the front and back, Duncan didn't even touch the ball, let alone launch an attack.

At least in the first three minutes of the game, this guy was restrained by the Knicks' defense!

If Duncan just couldn't get the ball and couldn't initiate an offense, it wouldn't be a serious matter. After all, the Celtics' offense was so bad that it wasn't worth mentioning.

But the problem now is that the Knicks have found their touch!
Never mind whether the Celtics had internal problems that led to a decline in defensive intensity or the Knicks really found their form in the final minutes of the last game.

In short, in the first 3 minutes of the sixth game, the Knicks scored every shot!
It is truly a 100% hit!
5 out of 5 shots, including 3 out of 3 -pointers!
What made Bostonians even more desperate was that these five shots came from five different players from the Knicks!
Lin Tian made a mid-range shot, Stoudemire made a dunk at the basket, and Anthony, Okur and Jackson each made a 3-pointer!
In 3 minutes, the Knicks scored 13 points!
The way they were in full swing and everyone was able to score was like a demonstration to the Bostonians.

Our offensive feel is back! How about you? Where is your Marbury? Where is your dominance on defense?

Aren’t you good at defense?

Be careful!

Compared to the Knicks' crazy firepower at the beginning of the game, the Celtics' offense is quite insignificant!

Since Duncan couldn't get the ball, they could only rely on Pierce's singles to score points. However, facing Anthony who gave his all tonight and put a lot of energy into defense, Pierce only made one of his first three shots. Coupled with a dunk by Howard, the Celtics only scored 3 points in the first 1 minutes!
13: 4!

The Knicks got off to a dream start!

"Come on, come on! Try harder! Defend against them! Defend against them!"

When Lin Tian dribbled the ball again, he heard Rivers' familiar cheering voice in his ears!

I have to say, when Rivers is representing the opposing team, it’s really reassuring to hear his voice!
Steady!

This is the feeling that Rivers’ chicken soup brings to Lin Tian!
For the first time in his life, Lin Tian discovered that Rivers’ chicken soup could be used in this damn way!

True reverse chicken soup!
Just a few casual shouts can make the opponent players feel that victory is within reach, and then their fighting power will be greatly improved!

It seems that this is the real reason why Rivers was selected as one of the top 15 coaches in the NBA.

After arriving at the frontcourt, Lin Tian accelerated again and easily passed Allen's defense, then he glanced and saw Okur outside the three-point line. The basketball in his hand immediately flew over, and Okur received the ball outside the three-point line and threw it!

"Boom!"

But unfortunately, what greeted Okur was a dull thud, and the Knicks missed their first shot tonight!
But apparently it doesn't matter.

"Mehmet!" Lin Tian roared, rushed into the inside and slapped Howard on the head, then hit the rebound back into Okur's hands.

Aim and fire again!
"Shh!"

A top shooter will never miss the same spot twice!
They won't let their teammates' offensive rebounds go to waste!

The score difference between the two sides is more than 10 points!

Next, Duncan finally got the ball in the interior, and when Okur came to double-team him, he shot early and completed a hook shot, narrowing the gap to within 10 points!
But that's all Duncan can do.

Because the Knicks immediately launched a quick counterattack!
Even though Duncan immediately opened his arms to disrupt their first pass after scoring, the other players on the team were a little absent-minded.

They forgot about interfering with the Celtics' fast break and baseline ball. They were absent-minded and watched the Knicks make a pass and then Lin Tian accelerated forward.

This time it was Lin Tian who took the shot himself. He made his way to the basket and completed a pull-up layup despite Davis' defense.

Still 10 points!
"Defense! What are you guys daydreaming about! Defense!" Duncan yelled angrily, "What did we arrange before the game? Do you still want to play?"

Lin Tian's fast break made Duncan's mentality a little unbalanced. He opened his arms and complained to his teammates on the court.

Duncan, who graduated with a degree in psychology, rarely complains to his teammates on the court.

He had never lost his composure like this before, even though he was repeatedly defeated by the Magic.

All I can say is that this time, Duncan really wants to win! He's had enough of the outside world's doubts about him.

But this time, the response from his teammates was quite cold. Everyone looked at him with a confused face. No one shouted slogans with him, and no one responded to his words.

Again, it’s not that Marbury has a good relationship with these people, but that they really don’t know what happened.

The less I know, the more uneasy I feel.

No one knows whether he will be cleared out of the team next season, and no one can guarantee that he will be the next one.

In this situation, some people can't help but have some small ideas and thoughts.

Why do you have to work so hard?

What if I get injured? What if I get injured because of working so hard at this time? What should I do about the next contract?
"Out of control." Auerbach sat in the box, looking at the court with a frown on his face. He could feel more intuitively than anyone else that even if this team was not out of control, it was on the verge of losing control.

If the team cannot be reunited, if everyone cannot regain the feeling of trust in each other, then the team will not only lose tonight, but will not even be able to win the next game!

In the following games, the Celtics were still distracted, still in a situation where everyone was in danger, playing in a chaotic manner. Except for Duncan and Pierce who could score by their personal abilities, the rest of the players were like sleepwalking on the court.

More importantly, this is a defensive team!

The most important thing for a defensive team is tacit understanding, unity, and trust!
Without these, players will hesitate when helping out on defense and will be worried when filling in.

They were worried that no one would fill their positions and that the gaps they left would be seized by their opponents to score.

At that time, the person who made the mistake became yourself!

And what about the Knicks on the opposite side?
As the team in the league that is best at playing with the wind, the Knicks showed a terrifying state at this time!
Your poor defensive attitude and decreased defensive intensity resulted in a lot of open spaces?
This kind of low defensive intensity game mode is exactly what the Knicks like!

The entire Knicks team was in a frenzy mode in the first half of the game!

Everyone goes crazy! Thousands of arrows are fired! Cannons are roaring! The whole army is attacking! (End of this chapter)
