Guard With a Knife

To be honest, Carly Klaus, who was sitting in the sixth row of the opposite auditorium, was also upset. Although Lord Duke made her stand up and applaud for the heavy buckle of the skywalking way this time, she was excited from the bottom of his heart and was proud of defending the glory of this arena.

However, she didn't like the next ‘bridge’, Rihanna yelled like a heroine. She turned out to be like a princess who was rescued by a warrior and sent her love madly. What is this? Hollywood soap operas? Snoopy is my true male number one.

Acidic water was flooding in KK's belly, and at the same time she felt extremely incomprehensible to Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift who were sitting beside Rihanna deafeningly: How could they suddenly endure Rihanna's transgressive behavior? Did they really give up Duke Snoopy?

Carly Klaus was skeptical about this, she always felt that things might not be as simple as she thought.

The game on the court continued. After Lagarrondo took the ball to the frontcourt, he made a patient and careful pick-and-roll with Kevin Garnett, and then handed the ball to Paul Pierce, who was pulled to the top of the arc. Pierce faced him. James Johnson's defense, he took extremely complicated fake moves to try to deceive the young rookie away, and then calmly shot...Huh!

The power of the Celtics is...They have players who can stand up and score in every position, and at the same time, they are still running with the logic of a precision machine!

Easy side to fight again.

Stephen Marbury and Doug executed a double cut-in tactic of high pick-and-rolls, but the basketball was interrupted by Garnett's defense during the second pass from the free throw line. Garnett's defensive coverage can even be said to be the largest in the league. The basketball has to pass from the weak side to the outside. James Johnson receives the basketball and shoots...Boom!

The basketball failed to hit the basket.

Doug tried to break into the penalty area to grab offensive rebounds and was also firmly locked by Garnett. He opened his long arms and hugged Doug almost behind him. This action was suspected of fouling, but the referee chose to ignore it.

In the matchup with Randolph, Perkins easily protected the rebound.

Randolph's desire for rebounds is much lower than scoring goals. Under the situation of melee rebounds at the basket, it is difficult for him to have an impact on Perkins. After all, Perkins is based on this in the NBA.

Looking back, Ray Allen once again relied on his amazing anti-running ability and used the double screens of Kevin Garnett and Perkins to easily go around the bottom line, catch the pass from Pierce at the top of the arc and shoot at the bottom corner... Huh!

Basketball is like a missile that hits accurately, and the white waves turn up. Fans of Madison Garden can't help but sigh.

Subsequently, the Knicks passed the basketball to Zach Randolph. Doug assaulted the restricted area like lightning, and quickly passed to Randolph after encountering help.

Krandolph is not a traditional C&S striker, so he subconsciously paused after receiving the basketball. As soon as he paused, Kevin Garnett was surrounded by...Boom!

In the end, hastily shot the ball!

This shot made Jeff Van Gundy on the sidelines frown, and he muttered in his heart that Randolph is indeed not suitable for the current Snoopy.

In the case that Du Ge has not established a full offensive system, Randolph's style of play is to some extent an offset to Snoopy's energy. In fact, the ball just now, if David Lee were on the court, might have already scored. Switching to Stoudemire is even a violent slam dunk that can score the best five goals.

The game continues.

Although the Knicks lineup is a bit weak offensively, it is on par with the Celtics on the defensive end.

Therefore, although everyone knows that the Celtics are better, the difference has not expanded in a drastic manner. It is slowly pulling up.

When there are 3 minutes left in the first quarter, 19:13. The Celtics led by 6 points in the away game.

At this time, Dou Grievous requested a timeout.

Next, he will switch to a rotation lineup.

Kevin Garnett was humiliated and dunked by Snoopy in the opening tonight. He played very well the rest of the time. Both support and defense have devoted 100% of their energy, although there is no data. What is outstanding. But it is indeed the absolute cornerstone of the Celtics.

Now even the first fledgling commentators in the basketball circle know that the Celtics' championship dream is based on Kevin Garnett's fragile knee. Of course, Dougrivers understands this, so despite the significance of this game to Boston, he still replaced Kevin Garnett on the court according to a precise rotation schedule. Replace him with the newly joined roaring **** Rashid Wallace.

At the same time, Daniels also replaced Ray Allen in the shooting guard position.

The Big Three are now at the end of their careers, and observing the law of rotation is beneficial to the continuation of their professional lives.

The Knicks also made adjustments, Kirk Sinrich went into battle, with Wesley Matthews, Gallinari, Dugger and Randolph.

Randolph made a promise to the coaching staff and his teammates, as long as Snoopy returns to the 4th position, I will be able to use offense to destroy all the Celtics defense.

Zachrandorf's repeated promises and requests allowed the coaching staff to agree to his team requirements. He originally wanted James Johnson to appear in the 3 position, which would make the defense tougher and he could score more focused. But Doug did not agree, he insisted that Gallinari appear in the lineup. Because he knows the meaning of opening the space, and at the same time understands the reason why eggs cannot be put in the same basket.

Although this will give the Celtics an opportunity on the flank.

Beep!

When the whistle sounded, the game continued.

After Lagarrondo brought the basketball to the front court, he quickly handed it over to Paul Pierce.

Pierce did not entangle with Gallinari at the top of the arc. As the trader of the Celtics rotation, with the team leading, he decided to let his teammates come in first. He passed the basketball to Rasheed Wallace.

Wallace quickly turned his back after receiving the basketball, and it was Doug who defended him.

The height difference between the two is extremely obvious, but Rashid did not take a direct jump shot, but very seriously used back singles. After swiftly arching inward twice and making no progress, he turned around, followed by a quick straight arm shot...this is his signature action.

While he was shooting, Doug had already jumped up, his elasticity exceeded Rasheed Wallace's imagination.

Although it didn't cover the basketball in the end, it affected Wallace's shooting style more or less...Bang!

The basketball hit the hoop.

At this time, Perkins at the basket suddenly squeezed Randolph in the position, and he went to the rebound. This made Doug quite annoyed. Fortunately, the basketball was closer to him, so he took off lightly... Snap!

Shoot the basketball to Kirk Sinrich.

"Card slot! Card slot!"

On the way back to defense, Du Ge emphasized this to Randolph again: "You have to do all the details before we can win."

He hoped Randolph would understand this truth. The more you fight against a strong team, the better you can do the most basic things.

Returning to the frontcourt, the Boston Celtics made a targeted defense. They adopted a 212 zone defense position. This is their response after watching the Knicks two games.

It has to be said that this set of defense has played a very strong role in targeting Zachrandorf.

When Doug received the ball on the left side of the free throw line, quickly broke through Wallace's defense and quickly encountered a double-team, and when he passed the basketball to Randolph. Pierce will help defend as soon as possible... If Randolph is a decisive player, he can easily pass basketball to Gallinari, but he is not, he has a one-on-one match with an old-school player. The temperament of singles.

Huh!

Although he finally threw the basketball into the hoop with a step back jumper.

But this has gone beyond the preset tactics.

As the game moved forward, Rasheed Wallace began to no longer be obsessed with heads-ups, but was positioned on the free throw line to respond. He is a power forward with a range that covers the three-point line, so Doug has to follow in his footsteps.

As Rashid pulled Dug's defense to a high position, Zachrandorf's defense in the penalty area became a mess, coupled with Gallinari's powerlessness on the flanks. Boston's defensive pressure has dropped sharply. If it weren't for them to feel that they didn't feel too good, the point difference would have been opened to double digits almost in an instant.

boom!

Randolph received a pass from Dug and singled out Kentrick Perkins to miss a shot.

boom!

Randolph missed a high pick-and-roll jumper.

Snapped!

Randolph received the ball from the weak side and was directly intercepted by Lagarrondo.

After Randolph was dismantled by the Celtics for three consecutive offenses, only 31 seconds remained in the first quarter. Boston's lead has also expanded to 9 points.

Paul Pierce received the basketball at the top of the arc of the three-point line. He slowly controlled the basketball, trying to score the goal steadily, widening the point difference to two digits.

At this time, Dugge quickly ordered Matthews and Gallinari to change defenses. Compared to Gallinari, Matthews' defense is tougher.

As time went by, Paul Pierce was not at all in a hurry.

When the offensive time counted down to the seventh second, Rasheed Wallace suddenly ran out. When he ran, Du Ge could only follow the defense. When he followed the defense, he pointed to Randolph where he was under the basket. He hoped that Randolph would hold the basket anyway, even with a fat body. meat.

However... Randolph disappointed Doug.

When Doug followed Rashid Wallace to the free throw line, Daniels on the left suddenly ran back and bypassed Gallinari's defense and went straight into the penalty area. The Italian was chasing after him, and Pierce's basketball was quickly suspended into the penalty area.

It can be said that the Celtics are very dangerous.

Even a slightly defensively normal inside line in the penalty area will destroy this bold air connection.

However, Randolph disappointed everyone.

He was squeezed behind by Perkins in a state of ignorance, and then watched Daniels soar into the sky, crossing an arc to catch the basketball...Boom!

Dunk happened!

This dunk is very, very morale hurt.

The entire Madison Garden was silent in exclamation.

I didn't want to see my restricted area being trampled on as a back garden by others.

At this time, Randolph finally felt the cold eyes from Snoopy. His eyes met, and the hairs all over his body couldn't help but stand up: Snoopy was really angry.

When he realized this.

Du Ge's roar was already heard... RUN-GUN!

Randolph hurriedly ran forward, but Gallinari drove the ball directly from the baseline to Snoopy, who ran beyond the three-point line. Snoopy rushed forward with a flat, Lagarrondo was on his side. The former chased him, Pierce followed closely, and when he went deep into the basket, both defenders were driven in.

At this time, Randolph, who ran to the top of the arc of the three-point line, hurriedly shouted: "Pass the ball!"

He hopes to get the chance of the final attack in the first quarter.

But...shoo!

He saw the basketball coming from under Snoopy's ribs, however, the direction of flight was straight to the bottom corner... At the same time as he was surprised, Gallinari rushed to the horse. He received the basketball and shot directly, as a top player. A potential white striker as a shooter, this kind of shooting is as easy as eating and drinking for him!

Huh!

The basketball fell into the Nets with precision.

The point difference returned from 11 points to single digits.

Later, Lagarrondo used the last 3 seconds to make a super long shot that covered half of the court, but the basketball didn't even get a rebound...Beep!

The whistle sounded and the first quarter ended.

"Under the high-intensity defense of the Boston Celtics, the Knicks struggled on the offensive end tonight. Zach Randolph even scored only 5 points, and he shot 9 times. If the two sides continue to maintain this The rhythm, Boston will directly lock the victory in the second quarter." Earl Johnson said: "The difference between the strengths of the two sides is too far. And tonight, there is no chance for the Knicks to get lucky."

His words meant something. In fact, the whole world knows... The Knicks’ way to advance to the playoffs last season was too bizarre, and almost every team facing them would suffer major injuries. They almost depended on their opponents' injuries all the way to the Finals, which caused many challenges this season and became the Eastern Conference's public enemy.

"Zach Randolph's defense is still not active enough, and he is in front of a real strong enemy. His incompatibility with Snoopy is revealed. Snoopy now needs an opponent who can finish the finish quickly, and Lando He is not this type of player. He prefers to let go of the rhythm to solve the opponent." Kenny Smith analyzed: "The Knicks have now entered a misunderstanding. If they continue to use Randolph as the first main player, then Snoopy's Offense is difficult to honed. If Snoopy’s offense cannot be honed, he and Zach Randolph will never become a true combination of inside and outside."

Kenny Smith's vision is still very keen. He saw the core contradiction between Du Ge and Randolph.

When the topic discussion enters very serious, and is about to sublimate. Charles Barkley next to him suddenly said: "Which duke girl will Snoopy go to dinner with tonight? It is said that Snoopy went to Taylor Swift's home on Long Island with Britney last night. , But he didn’t stay there. Maybe it’s because of the game tonight. You know, Lord Duke has always been a self-disciplined player. But then it’s a long Christmas holiday. Who will he spend Christmas with? What?"

"Charles, when they show up at the same time, you should know that they have been eliminated." Earl Johnson is an expert: "When two women are in a state of rivalry, they will not sit together and watch the game with a smile on their faces. "

Her analysis has been recognized by most people, and it is like this in life.

...

Snoopy stood on the bench with a serious face when the TNT commentary felt that the game was lackluster and even started discussing the issue of Duke Girl Christmas. He told the players: "Next, we can only enter the fast running time."

Then he made a decision after discussions with Jeff Van Gundy and Herb Williams: Milicic, David Lee, Gallinari, Wesley Matthews followed Dugge.

This means that Doug is back to position 1.

Zachrandorf was a little bit knotty about this, but he didn't make a big noise like before. He also knows that he played very badly in the first quarter tonight, and even made a fatal defensive error at the last minute.

"Zach, you have to understand that you are stopping losses now." Dugge patted him on the shoulder and told him before returning to the court: "It's not a good thing to stay on the court."

This sentence made Randolph think.

Stop loss?

He had never been exposed to economics, so it took a long time for him to understand what was going on.

At this time, the second quarter of the game has begun.

The Celtics replaced Ray Allen with Pierce. The Bostonians' rotation time has always kept a giant leading the rhythm on the court.

boom!

When Rasheed Wallace missed the first shot, the Knicks instantly launched a lightning-fast offense, and it took less than 5 seconds to reach the frontcourt under Duque's lead. Moreover, after a pick-and-roll with David Lee, Doug quickly passed the basketball to Milicic, who was down. Milicic dunked easily... At this time Perkins just ran into the free throw line.

When the Knicks offered a fast running and bombing tactic that hadn't been used for a long time, Gorivers on the other side couldn't help being a little dazed.

It can be said that Boston lost in the playoffs of last season in this unconventional running and bombing style.

During this time, he has been studying. He believes that apart from the staff disorder, the biggest mistake he made at the time was that he was disrupted by Snoopy.

So this time, he stood firmly on the sidelines and clapped his palms to remind La Garrondo: "Maintain our rhythm, come on!!!"

La Garrondo executed the orders of Dougrifus, he steadily adopted a positional offensive style ~www.ltnovel.com~ and it didn't take long...Huh!

Daniels scored a throw.

The Knicks lineup has improved offensive efficiency, but has dropped by more than one level in defensive intensity.

After Daniels scored, the Knicks rushed again and again.

Boston also seemed a little tired of this fast break, even though Daw Grievous was replaced by the more athletic Lyon Bowie after two rounds. But this change did not stop the Knicks from putting the basketball into the hoop.

Of course, the Knicks can't stop the Celtics from scoring.

The two sides moved forward with a dynamic balance and played until the end of the first half.

59:53.

The Celtics led by 6 points in the away game.

It looks like the two teams are evenly matched.

But TNT live studio has made a clear judgment. "The Celtics haven't used all their strength yet. Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce are watching the whole second quarter, and the Knicks have almost no hole cards. I think the victory or defeat will be in the third quarter. It's clear. Then the fourth quarter will enter garbage time."

"This is not to criticize the Knicks. As a youth-oriented team, they have done a great job. I even think they have a chance to squeeze into the top six in the East this year. But...compared to the results they achieved last year, The gap in the middle is still huge."

"And this is the reason... the Eastern strong teams have repeatedly targeted them and claimed to kill them one by one. I hope that the Knicks players can withstand this wave of pressure. If they can introduce an all-star player next summer, They still hope to return to the finals."

"..."

These remarks can actually be seen in the home team's locker room, and the faces of the Knicks players are not pretty.
