Guard With a Knife

"Zach Randolph was a key factor in the Knicks' ability to win the first two games. His offensive strength is the basis for the Bostonians to fall into a passive position. Now...when he leaves, the Knicks will have a hard time playing against Kay. The Erts pose a threat."

Bill Walton looked ecstatic: "The Celtics' counterattack is coming soon!"

Although his remarks sounded a little overwhelming.

But... Reggie Miller and McBryn both had to agree with him. The Knicks' advantage lies in the inside. When the team's strongest attacker Randolph is injured and leaves, the Knicks' inside advantage will rapidly decrease, and the Celtics' advantage on the outside will be greatly highlighted.

"When Zach Randolph went off, the Knicks lost the last attacker who could hold the ball to open the situation." McBryn said regretfully: "If Randolph is reimbursed for the season and can't come back, the Celtics may even Go straight down to the four cities to advance to the second round."

Reggie Miller pursed his lips and nodded: "In the playoffs, the penalty area is the biggest battlefield to determine the outcome, and the stars are the biggest factor in determining the victory or defeat. The Knicks now have no advantage in the penalty area, and at the same time, they have also lost the last one. A star."

When ESPN made a pessimistic forecast for the Knicks.

The laughter and laughter of the Knicks bench also disappeared with Randolph's departure. Although the Knicks still led by 9 points at this time, their confidence in winning has fallen precipitously.

CCTV footage clearly recorded this change.

The reporters standing behind the camera also began to look solemn. They originally wanted to record a victory to praise domestic fans for Dugge's achievements and status in New York. But now...it seems to need to adjust the pre-broadcast propaganda copy.

"David Lee, Milicic, Jeffries, Quentin Richardson, come with me!"

Doug slapped his palms vigorously and reminded his teammates: "Hold the third quarter! As long as we stand firm, no one can reverse and win in Madison Garden!"

His voice brought life to the dull home team bench.

Beep!

The whistle sounded and the game continued.

Doug Rives is very cunning. When Zach Randolph went off the field, he immediately lowered the attacking rhythm. He let La Garrondo start to execute the half-time position.

Rondo faced Dugge's defense and played very patiently. He commanded his teammates' tactical moves at the top of the arc. He is a natural commander, but in the past two games he has actually not played much, and his possession of the ball has been taken over by Paul Pierce in a fast offensive and defensive rhythm. At the same time, there are not many matchups between him and Du Ge... Du Ge appears more in the paint zone.

Now that the two meet, Lagarrondo deliberately consumes time. And he opened up the situation, he started to break through quickly inward...Doug's defense against the periphery has not been good enough, and he can't effectively mark the defense at a very large scale.

This gave Lagarrondo a chance to get rid of it. He forced a breakthrough from the three-point line to the free throw line, using the footsteps of Doug's man-to-man defense to miss shots. He completed a quick forward change of direction and then stopped a jump shot. Shot...Huh!

Although Doug quickly slammed past, he still failed to prevent the basketball from falling into the hoop.

ESPN's McBrin quickly read the two men's field goal percentage in the regular season.

"La Garrondo, averaging 11.9 points, 9.5 attempts per game, 4.8 hits, and 50.5 percent shooting. The three-point court averaged 0.6 shots, 0.2 hits, 31.3 percent shooting, and free throws per game. 3.4 times, 2.2 hits, 64.2% hit rate."

"Snoopydoo averaged 9.3 points, 11.2 shots per game, 3.5 hits, and 31.2 percent shooting. The three-point court averaged 0.5 shots, 0.2 hits, and 40 percent shooting. Free throw percentage. 89.5 percent."

"Both are representatives of guards who are not good at shooting, but Rondo's mid-range jumper is obviously much better than Snoopy."

His voice did not fall.

Doug missed a jumper from the free throw line.

The Celtics' defense turned into a highly targeted zone defense. All their defensive energy was used to cut and block Dugge's pass, and at the same time forbid him to get into the paint and force him to shoot.

Therefore, even after Doug completes a high pick and roll with David Lee, there is still no defender around him.

As a result, Doug executed a high jumper.

But... bang!

The basketball missed.

Looking back, Paul Pierce singled Jeffries and used his back to easily complete the strong attack.

"The Knicks' perimeter disadvantage has been greatly highlighted." McBrin said regretfully: "Zach Randolph's injury changed the Knicks' season."

"The only players the Knicks can play in singles with the ball are Stephen Marbury and Snoopy. Marbury's physical fitness is limited and Snoopy's shooting percentage is not stable enough."

Reggie Miller added: "Trading Crawford and Wilt Chandler to free up playing time and possession for Snoopy is a good deal. Snoopy has achieved unexpected growth. . But... I think Knicks fans should miss them by this time."

The game is going forward.

The Celtics’ three perimeters all worked together, and the Knicks’ penalty area failed to continue the offensive firepower of Zach Randolph when he was on the court...Neither David Lee nor Milicic had the energy to hold the ball.

When the third quarter ends.

Although the Knicks still lead by 4 points.

But the Celtics' probability of winning has increased infinitely.

"What should we do?" Herb Williams looked at Dugger with a flustered expression when Dugger returned to the game.

At this time, the Knicks' distraction was already visible to the naked eye.

Doug settled down.

He looked at Stephen Marbury next to him with a firm expression: "In the first half of the fourth quarter, you are in control of the team's rhythm. I'll go inside."

Then he stood up, and he called Gallinari, Nate Robinson and David Lee over: "The three of you will play with me later, I need you to shoot resolutely and decisively! Don't be intimidated by them, Bostonians love Pretending to be ferocious, if you show a little bit of weakness, they will definitely pounce on you like a wolf."

"Remember my words, as long as we hold our ground, no one can reverse Madison Garden and win!"

Du Ge's words definitely told the players in front of him.

Then, the whistle sounded. The game continues.

Dugge sent the ball to Stephen Marbury from outside the three-point line, and then he ran straight into the penalty area. He didn't even do it. His goal was very clear, which was to head in Glen Davis and Leon Bowie. On the rebound.

When he seemed to have only one-half of Glen Davis's body standing in the restricted area, the picture looked a little tragic!

"Card position! Card position! Protect the rebounds!!!"

Dou Grievous yelled from the sidelines. He has been following Snoopy's NCAA games, knowing that he is extremely good at rebounding, and is good at using his iron and blood performance in the penalty area to ignite the morale of his teammates! This is why he is the soul of the championship team, and Westbrook and Kevin Love can't get involved in the MOP trophy.

Glen Davis seemed a little disapproving. He pushed up his big **** and stuck Du Ge hard behind him. He thought that his rebound protection could sit back and relax!

However... when Stephen Marbury passed the ball to Nate Robinson, Nate Robinson made a jump shot just two steps away from the three-point line... This kid was born to be a mixed bag and dared to shoot any ball. And this is why Dugge will let him play instead of the more experienced Quentin Richardson.

What the Knicks need now are some stunned greens that can ignite the flames, not...the old fritters that have been in the league for many years!

boom!

The basketball hit the front of the basket heavily and bounced high.

Glen Davis immediately moved backwards, trying to seal Du Ge tightly behind him, while Leon Bowie on the side had quickly stepped in.

They are full of confidence. They don't think that they can do nothing but a 1.93-meter yellow point guard.

however.

The fact is.

When Glen Davis exerted force backwards, Du Ge first slammed, although suddenly then withdrew...Glen Davis, who is now wrestling backwards, retreats uncontrollably, and Du Ge has quickly rushed forward.

At this time, Leon Bowie had already flew up.

He was about to catch the rebound.

A black shadow rushed up into the sky, his speed was so fast...pop!

A hard slap was slammed on the basketball and returned the same way.

"Keep shooting!!"

Du Ge's roar also resounded like thunder deep in the penalty area at the same time.

Stephen Marbury received the basketball at the free throw line, turned and handed it directly to Nate Robinson.

Robinson received the basketball without any mercy and continued to shoot the basketball.

boom!

Basketball is still playing iron.

But at this time, Doug has taken a better defensive position. When he takes off... Glen Davis can't stop him, he can only watch him hit the basketball into the hoop... Huh!

Two consecutive offensive rebounds, plus a supplement deep in the penalty area.

Madison Garden was boiling.

The fans in the audience called out the name of the Duke under the leadership of Kris Dowling! !

Easy side to fight again, Paul Pierce hit a jumper from the free throw line, he shot effortlessly.

Because at this time the Knicks' defense on the two wings is very soft.

They are now betting on three-pointers.

In other words, Doug's control in the basket!

When the offensive and defensive transition, Dou Grievous once again shouted on the sidelines to pay attention to the rebound card position ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ Glen Davis put away his underestimate, his card position became more focused.

But this still did not change Du Ge once again grabbed offensive rebounds, and assisted David Lee to hit a jumper.

Because, he took off from behind Glen Davis, he almost completely put himself in the air, he used a save similar to a football goalkeeper to shoot the basketball to the free throw line... Then he fell without protection on the floor.

This action made the audience scream, and many women even shed tears.

However, Duke Snoopy just patted his jersey and stood up casually.

His face was calm, he didn't grin, he didn't complain to the referee, and he didn't send out a roar like Kevin Garnett to motivate the players.

He is just plain and plain.

Just to kill you guys!
