After the game, a large number of media criticized the Boston Celtics' dirty defensive words, and the New York media spread their black moves widely.

So the Celtics played tough and cleanly in this game.

Even Kentrick Perkins put away his elbows and became a human being, which was considered a change from evil to justice.

However, the Knicks still suffered personnel injuries in the second quarter.

Francisco, the 3D player who has worked diligently since joining the Knicks and has soared offensive efficiency, has been injured.

The reason why he was injured was that he worked too hard.

He tried his best to defend Paul Pierce.

When Pierce shook him away the first time, he gritted his teeth and continued to jump, doing his best to block it.

Scream!

He tried his best to touch the basketball with his fingertips and changed the flight trajectory of the basketball.

However, when he landed on one foot, he couldn't support the center of gravity. He twisted his head and fell to the ground. Then he covered his knee and made a painful sound.

Li Zhen stopped the fast attack in time and requested a timeout to come to Francesco.

Francisco's expression was painful, but his eyes were full of depression. After taking a long breath, he told Li Zhen pessimistically: "I can't fight with everyone."

Li Zhen felt particularly uncomfortable when he heard this.

He doesn't like the injuries in the game.

This season, the Knicks have suffered very few injuries. In addition, he has a rebound and absorption device, so he has never considered injuries.

Now, Francisco lay in pain on the floor and said this.

He was very sad.

He couldn't accept that his companions were looking for various ways to bid farewell to the field.

He hoped that the team doctor would come over and tell him that this was just a false alarm.

However, after the preliminary examination, the team doctor's face was solemn. It would not be good news to hurt his knee. The situation is the most optimistic and it will be difficult for him to come back in this game.

When Francesco Garcia left, the entire Madison Garden stood up and applauded him and applauded.

As the most important mad dog on the Knicks' wing, he is an indispensable existence. His three-pointer and his desperate biting defense are providing a constant stream of energy for the Knicks' wing.

After Francesco was pushed away by a stretcher, the Knicks could only let Quentin Richardson take over.

Big Q is also a three-point shooter, but his defensive enthusiasm is far less than Francisco's investment.

"The Knicks lost the most important three-pointer."

Charles Barkley said on TV: "This is good news for the Boston Celtics. It is difficult for New York to open up space and conduct long-range attacks as unscrupulously as before, and it creates a critical blow to the Knicks' rotation system."

Barkley became pessimistic.

When a master fights, the winner is a slight mistake.

The strength of the Knicks and the Celtics is very close.

In the last game, the Knicks won a very thrilling victory. The winner was decided in the last minute, and the Celtics lost Kentrick Perkins and Glen Davis one after another.

Now, Francesco Garcia retreats from injury, and the balance of victory and loss is naturally inclined to Boston.

Kenny Smith pursed his lips. He couldn't be optimistic. The Knicks are a team with very strong integrity, and it can even be said to be a team with no real superstars. Francisco's departure undoubtedly made the Knicks lose a very important part of tacticality.

At this time, Doug Rives on the court couldn't wait to clap and shout.

He encouraged the players vigorously and shouted: Take the time and expand the score difference! You must lead the double digits in the second quarter!

Rivers' voice was loud.

He didn't mind the Knicks players hearing it.

In fact, this is his psychological tactic.

He clearly wanted to tell the Knicks: This is taking advantage of your illness and killing you.

Boston is very good at making his opponent upset, and he is impatient, and then he becomes more and more anxious as he fights. They will seize the opportunity to defeat their opponents in one fell swoop.

Li Zhen quickly comforted the players and asked them not to take Rivers' words seriously and run tactics in a solid manner.

The more you are, the more calm you need.

Li Zhen's words had a magical power, and he calmed down the restless Randolph, Griffin and others.

However, the calmness of mentality cannot change the fact that chemical tacit understanding has declined. Quentin Richardson's tactical integration is far less than that of Francesco Garcia, especially his ability to limit Paul Pierce is even more worrying.

He is just a tall shooter with a serious decline in mobility.

The Knicks couldn't demand too much on him.

So the Knicks scored no points for two consecutive rounds. On the other hand, Boston repeatedly opened the gap from the flank to complete the damage.

Although Li Zhen then stabilized his position with a breakthrough, cooperated with Zach Randolph in the penalty area, and assisted Barnes to hit a gap jump shot... but these could not change the fact that the Boston Celtics quickly took the initiative.

The Big Three are too experienced, and their ability to capture opportunities has reached a state of enlightenment over the years of competition.

Frankly speaking, the Knicks can play to this level and keep the score tightly and hover within 5 points. It is already as solid as a rock.

With 3 minutes left in the second quarter, the Knicks finally made a new decision.

With Lee Zhen's encouragement, Jamie Lin replaced Quentin Richardson and Sheldon Williams. He was allowed to partner with Zach Randolph, while Eddie Griffin was the small forward.

This lineup is looking to be on the defense.

Doug Rivers was overjoyed and shouted at the court again: Be careful of Bruce Lee!! You want to seal him!

He believes that Li Zhen is already the only two players in this lineup who can conduct independent attacks. Locking him to death means half of success.

Rivers was proud.

Immediately afterwards, he even started a quarrel with Sharapova next to him. Sharapova counterattacked his remarks against Li Zhen: You are too rude.

Rivers retorted: This is not the Knicks training ground, and our players are not like you, hugging Bruce at will. They don’t use their chests to defend, but they will only use their hard elbows to let Lee Zhen taste the lesson.

The two of them chatted back and forth.

Frankly speaking, this is an indecent thing for a head coach. But who made Doug Rivers feel like he is in control of the situation now?

However, just as he and Sharapova argued with each other.

When Li Zhen arrived at the frontcourt, he suddenly made a jump shot. He shot directly against James Posey's mad dog-style defense from outside the three-point line.

Boston hasn't even reacted...swish!

Basketball was arrested.

When Madison Garden instantly filled with cheering.

The sound wave swept across the space in milliseconds.

Doug Rives just raised his eyebrows at that time, and he disagreed.

Isn’t it just a gambling three-pointer?

He sat firmly on Mount Tai, even turned his head and continued to tease Sharapova: "You have no advantage compared to Anne Hathaway..."

Before he finished speaking, it was at this moment.

People saw a strange and sharp figure passing by the half, and Li Zhen invaded the penalty area from the free throw line like lightning... Bang!

He slapped Kevin Garnett's pass, and he took the basketball away from Lagarondo.

And, quickly ran to the bottom corner, then turned around and took action... The basketball drew a beautiful parabola in the air... Swish!

Hit again.

It took Li Zhen less than 3 seconds to go from steal to shooting.

The Knicks also overtook 2 points.

The wave in Madison Garden had just subsided and instantly spread wildly again.

Sharapova spread her palms in front of Doug Rivers, raised her eyebrows and hit Rivers with a contemptuous tone: "It seems that your hard defense is nothing more than that. My 82-year-old grandma will not let anyone steal it in the penalty area."

you…

This made Rivers quite depressed.

But this is not the time to compare verbal skills with women. He quickly turned his head to remind the players to be vigilant.

However, less than 10 seconds later, Li Zhen completed the steal again.

He pressed at the top of the three-point line. This forced Lagarondo to quickly hand over the basketball to Kevin Garnett for processing. Kevin Garnett just received the basketball and was about to use a beautiful downward pressure to lure Sheldon Williams into a fool, but he just pressed down... bang!

I felt a huge force hitting his basketball.

He was so experienced that he was about to quickly grab the basketball, but he found that a huge palm had already taken the lead and took the basketball away.

He looked back and saw that Bruce, wearing the No. 10 jersey, was running towards the frontcourt, and his teammates Rondo and Pierce were catching up quickly behind him.

He saw clearly, but his consciousness was blurred.

He always felt that this scene seemed familiar, and he always felt that the person running with the ball was Michael Jordan.
