On May 4, in the TD North Shore Garden Arena, in the horror atmosphere created by Celtic fans, the second game of the Knicks and Celtics Eastern Conference semi-finals officially kicked off.

"The Knicks' first defeat, Charles, how do you think they will adjust this game?" Kenny Smith glanced at Barkley beside him. He was very curious. How else could Barkley breastfeed the Knicks now?

"I think the Knicks should do their defense first. Their first defense is not like the defensive level that a team that has reached the semi-finals should have," Barkley said.

Barkley had some things to hold back, that was, he thought that if Lin Yi could not adjust his condition in time, it would be difficult for this Knicks to go far.

Boy, you are the leader of this Knicks!

"Charles, in an interview before the game, Lin said that he would shoot 50 times in this game. What do you think?" Kenny Smith threw another question to Barkley.

Barkley shook his head, "No one will take this seriously, Kenny, I think this is Lin's response to people that he had a very strong last game. Don't forget, this kid is a member of Club 0."

TD North Shore Garden Arena, the starting list of the two teams' second game was also given.

Celtics: Perkins, Garnett, Pierce, Ray Allen, Rondo.

Knicks: Lin Yi, David Lee, Garlinari, Chandler, Douglas.

Like the first game, Lin Yi still jumped to the ball easily.

The fans at the scene rang out, and Lin Yilai was still performing the first attack at the opening.

Garnett was the one who was guarding him.

In fact, Lin Yi is not very afraid of the Old Wolf King. Garnett's movement pace is no longer as good as before, but the defense of this Celtics is not simple.

Garnett is a man-to-people to himself, while others are more like regional defense. If he breaks in, the Celtics will turn to the position in time. This is the tactic carefully arranged by Rivers against the Knicks.

Rivers still has something to do with defense.

So Lin Yi called the pick-and-roll decisively. His purpose of calling the pick-and-roll was not to form a dislocation, but to Lin Yi wanted to seize the pick-and-roll moment to attack the Celtics' defense line.

If the Celtics want to defend against pick-and-roll, they will form a two-on-two area on Lin Yi's side. If Lin Yi rushed in at this time and the Celtics are doing supplementary defense, their remaining rotation will be two-on-three.

Just as David Li came over to pick-and-roll, Lin Yi suddenly got up.

He scrambled through Garnett and Perkins, flexibly squeezing over!

Pierce came to make up for defense decisively, and Lin Yi could actually pass this ball.

But he did not pass it on.

Because as Barkley said, he is the leader of this Knicks. Rondo and Ray Allen rotate very quickly, and maybe it can really give the Celtics time to retreat.

So Lin Yi leaned on Pierce who came to make up for defense and picked up the basket with his left hand.

Pierce was not pushed away, but he didn't get a shot at Lin Yi, and Lin Yi successfully scored.

Rivers, the Celtics coach, was very satisfied with the Celtics' defense, because as long as Lin Yi didn't let Lin Yi score easily, Rivers wouldn't naively think that the Celtics could defend Lin Yi every game.

"It turns out that I'm going to beat me like James..." Lin Yi couldn't help but complain.

It seems that the Celtics' defense is to limit Lin Yi.

It's actually to limit the rest of the Knicks players.

The first battle was that Lin Yi did not fight well, because it was because of his condition.

But the other Knicks players didn't play well because the Celtics were too defensive.

Lin Yi remembers it very clearly that the defense intensity of the 2009/0 finals was quite high, so he had to overcome difficulties and dispatch teammates to challenge this Celtics.

"Lin scored the first attack very hard." Barkley felt that as Lin Mi could finally breathe.

On the court, the Celtics launched an attack. Just as Rondo was about to organize, he suddenly discovered that Douglas had deliberately taken three steps back...

Rondo: "..."

In the first game, the Knicks collapsed too quickly, so many black technologies didn't have time to use them. In this game, the Knicks carefully prepared their ultimate moves.

After the first round of the showdown, the Knicks players were not so nervous. Rondo was not angry after being released. He passed the ball to Pierce for a single.

Rivers' offensive tactics are not that complicated, and reducing mistakes is the best way to do it. Pierce's back-to-back singles is one of the main ways for the Celtics to stabilize their position.

Your uncle leaned against the "second battalion commander", and almost pushed Garlinari away as he sat his butt. However, just as Pierce was about to turn around and make a layup, Garlinari fouled and made a very determined mistake and did not give Pierce a chance to have two plus one.

When Pierce walked to the free throw line, the fans at the scene also cheered VP.

In fact, it was quite controversial at the beginning of which of the three giants was the boss, but after the return of the king was staged in the finals and led the Celtics to win the championship, every critical moment, the Celtic fans still believed in Pierce more.

Garnett's form has begun to decline. In addition to iron-blooded, the Wolf King contributed the most to the team this season, were active pick-and-roll and high-level jump shots.

It's hard for him to play basketball like he did in his prime.

Pierce made both free throws, and the score on the court was rewritten to 2-2.

The Knicks' second attack was organized by Lin Yi. Lin Yi did an rssver on the outside and pulled out his hands casually.

Garnett couldn't cover it when he slipped up. Lin Yi's touch tonight was obviously much better than the previous one, swish!

Finally, it was no longer the awkward ironclad sound.

4-2, the Knicks led by 2 points away.

On the Celtics, Rondo and Garnett picked and rolled, Lin Yi did not change defense, but let Rondo break in. Just as Rondo was happily preparing to make a layup, Douglas, who came from behind, directly dribbled the ball and shot the ball.

Douglas' moves look big, but in fact they are just to not give Rondo a two plus one chance.

The physical confrontation intensity in the playoffs was higher, and the referee just called an ordinary layup foul.

Rondo went to the free throw line.

At this time, Lin Yi and D'Antoni on the sidelines made a gesture of 2.

D'Antoni understood and asked Milicic to warm up.

Rondo made 2 free throws, and the score became 4-3.

The two sides played significantly more exciting in the first quarter than in the first game. As long as the Celtics had an absolute chance, the Knicks would frequently foul. On the Knicks, Lin Yi failed to score two consecutive singles and began to use breakthrough passes to create opportunities.

When there were 7 minutes left in the first quarter, the Knicks requested a pause first.

At this time, the score on the field was only 9.

Both teams are fighting for defense tonight.

"We have four offenders." Lin Yi said to D'Antoni while resting on the bench.

Lao De nodded, "Then I'll leave it to you next."

Old De pressed his hand on Milicic and Dodge Norris's shoulders.

The eyes of these two people showed a trace of fierce light and were full of murderous aura.

After the pause, people were surprised to find...

Lin Yi sat on the bench?

hat_are_yu_what do you do?

"What is the Knicks trying to do?" Kenny Smith exclaimed.

Barkley was also confused... This is the playoffs! The Knicks actually let the main players go down and rest shortly after the opening game?

That's right, just let Lin Yi come down to rest.

D'Antoni analyzed with Lin Yi after the first game that Lin Yi, the Celtics' substitute lineup, had to attack more easily, so Lin Yi, who knew that he would get a lot of rest in the first quarter, played particularly fiercely as soon as he got up.

This is to not waste any physical energy.

Of course, in addition to giving Lin Yi a break, D'Antoni also carefully prepared gifts for the Celtics in the first quarter.

Just as Rondo had just passed half the game, Dodge Norris, who had just been replaced by the Knicks, suddenly smiled and hugged him.

Rondo looked confused.

"Shawk chopping tactics?" Rivers almost swears.

"To be precise, it is the chopping tactic!" Lin Yi and D'Antoni smiled.

Rondo's free throw shooting percentage in the playoffs is only about 50%. Such a good opportunity to kill people is useless!

Of course, if Rivers replaces Rondo, the Knicks can continue to cut Perkins.

Perkins' free throw shooting percentage is also average, around 50%, and 60%.

The reason why the Knicks did this is very simple. It makes the game fragmented. Even if you get in, it doesn't matter. The Knicks have to find a way to drag it and waste it.

Don’t let the Celtics fight comfortably, and give Lin Yi a rest time!

In this way, Lin Yi can take the Knicks' substitute lineup in the second quarter to force the Celtics to return to the start.

Drag, consume.

That's the Knicks' main task tonight!

...
Chapter completed!
