NBA: No. 1 Forward

, the fastest update NBA: the latest chapter of the No. 1 forward!

After a lapse of one day, on May 4, Madison Square Garden ignited the flames of war again.

The Knicks are different from the Celtics. The Knicks' ancestors were not rich. Since the establishment of the team, there have only been two championships, and it has not won a championship in 37 years.

Although Madison Garden is known as the Mecca of basketball, the three Knicks are not as good as one Celtic in terms of basketball honors.

Compared with North Shore Gardens, the sky above Madison Square Garden looks very empty.

O'Neill stared at the dome over Madison's Nursing Stadium, and then at Lian Dao.

I don't know if after a few seasons, there will be another championship banner on the dome of this arena because of Lian Dao.

O'Neal is very optimistic about Lian Dao, he has cooperated with many stars, Hardaway, Kobe, Wade, James, Garnett, Pierce...

But Lian Dao's feeling to O'Neill is different from the stars he has worked with.

Lian Dao is a player who can make the team better.

What is the player who can make the team better? First of all, he can't have too many shortcomings, and he doesn't need his teammates to help you fill in the holes.

For example, some players are very capable of scoring, but their defense is poor. They score two points, but their opponents return three points.

Such a player cannot be said to be a player who makes the team better.

And some players' scoring is based on a large number of unreasonable shots of their own. Although he scored high, he destroyed the best chemical reaction of the team, and the offense of the entire team was also messed up.

A player who can really make the team better, he can make the team play more smoothly even when he feels bad, and he can stand up when the team encounters a crisis. Save the team from fire and water.

In O'Neill's eyes, Lian Dao is such a player.

In the first three quarters of the last game, Lian Dao often encountered double-teams, but instead of making wild shots, he sent out assists one after another.

But in the fourth quarter, when the opponents continued to counterattack, when the teammates had no way to score. Lian Dao can stand up and score again and again to help the team out of the predicament.

Throughout the fourth quarter, O'Neill was deeply impressed by Lian Dao's performance.

That guy is just a sophomore. According to media reports, he is not yet 21 years old. At this age, most rookies are struggling in the military training of veterans, but he can lead the team to the first record in the league. , to get the MVP trophy.

To what extent he can grow in the future, I am afraid that only God can know.

O'Neill believes that as long as the Knicks' management does not die, Lian Dao will definitely bring the Knicks a pennant that symbolizes the team's highest honor.

However, O'Neill does not want this to happen this season! Although he is determined to retire, he also wants to touch the O'Brien Cup again before retiring.

He doesn't want to have one less championship ring in his career than the Snakes in Los Angeles.

Otherwise, after I retire, I will definitely be ridiculed by the stinky snakes in Los Angeles if I meet again.

"Shaquille, what are you looking at?"

Pierce moved closer to O'Neill and looked where O'Neill was looking. He only saw the ceiling, so he asked curiously.

"Oh, it's nothing, Paul!" Pierce's words interrupted O'Neill's wild thoughts, and he regained his focus.

…

Lian Dao is very excited today. The last game gave Lian Dao enough confidence. Now he wants to win two consecutive victories at home, so that the next pressure will be completely given to the Celtics. The Knicks will be relatively relaxed in the North Shore Garden, known as the devil's home court.

Moreover, he didn't want to disappoint the home fans when playing at home.

A few minutes later, the game officially started.

The entire Madison Square Garden fans stood up and cheered. The momentum of the Knicks home fans was no less than that of any team in the league.

"The game has officially started. This jump ball is still the Knicks first to get the ball! The Knicks' starting lineup has not changed. The Celtics replaced Jeff Green at the fourth position. Kevin Garnett It is rare to play the fifth position in the game, but this is not difficult for Garnett!"

"After the last match, basically both sides should have a preliminary understanding of the strength of their respective opponents. Now it depends on who is better."

"Moreover, with the continuous development of the game, the secrets of the two sides will only become less and less. In the end, the bayonet is basically the best!"

Barkley is optimistic about the Knicks as always, especially in the last game when Garnett broke out and Pierce failed to win the game even though he played well.

In this game, Barkley is still not optimistic about this senior team.

Pierce's defense against Lian Dao is still as tight as ever. After the last match, Pierce has basically adapted to Lian Dao's offense.

The game is like this, it is to improve through continuous adaptation.

As a veteran of the league, Pierce's defense is very smart, and he is not inferior to Chris Paul in the use of some small moves.

When pressing on Lian Dao, his hands would always pinch, buckle, and scratch Lian Dao inadvertently, but he would never make Lian Dao feel comfortable.

It didn't matter to Lian Dao either, since Pierce was pressing him hard, Lian Dao began to move around constantly, and he was not in a hurry to get the ball.

Like the last game, Lian Dao kept running around and walking Pierce. Anyway, this old guy is 33 years old, and it is impossible to compare with Lian Dao in terms of physical fitness.

Pierce was also bitter. He knew that Lian Dao knew that his physical reserves were insufficient, but he had no choice but he knew that Rivers still had a countermeasure to deal with Lian Dao today.

Seeing that Lian Dao was still pressed, the Knicks' first attack was handed over to Stoudemire.

After receiving the ball, Stoudemire put his shoulder against Jeff Green and attacked inside, then turned around and passed Jeff Green to the basket, layup with his right hand, shook Jeff Green, and then scored with a backhand layup.

After suffering a loss on Garnett in the last game, Stoudemire started the game a lot more cautiously.

Like Duncan, Garnett's athletic ability has regressed a lot, but the styles of the two are different. Stoudemire was in the West all the year round, and he only played against the Celtics twice a year, so he is not very familiar with Garnett. .

After playing against each other, Stoudemire has basically adapted to Garnett's defense. Unfortunately, the Celtics changed in this game, and Jeff Green, who had never started before, was replaced at the fourth position.

Jeff Green's defensive strength is obviously not as good as Garnett's, especially in the fourth position. Jeff Green's height is a weakness. For Stoudemire, it will be much easier to play.

"Jeff Green's defense did not bring too much interference to Amare. The Celtics have adopted the previous defensive strategy against Sickle. This is a great test for Pierce's physical fitness."

"You know, Sickle's off-the-ball running ability and physical fitness have been verified in the last game! And fighting the Knicks is not a good tactic for the Celtics."

Smith is a little disappointed that the Celtics have not changed the defensive strategy of Lian Dao in the slightest. If it is still the defensive strategy of the last game, the Celtics are likely to lose miserably.

Rajon Rondo advanced with the ball, and the Celtics players moved in an orderly manner.

Rivers walked on the sidelines, watching every move of the Celtics players on the field, and observing the performance of the players by the way.

Lian Dao continued to press Pierce closely, and in Lian Dao's mind, Pierce's threat was no less than that of the wolf king.

Even his level of danger is one level higher than that of the Wolf King You must know that Pierce still scored 24 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists in the last game under the strict defense of Lian Dao.

Lian Dao will never underestimate Pierce's scoring ability.

But this time, the Celtics' offense didn't look for Pierce.

Rajon Rondo called Garnett for a pick-and-roll from the outside, then Rondo made a breakthrough, and Garnett also began to cut in. I thought it was a simple breakthrough tactic.

Garnett and Rondo often play this kind of cooperation, and the effect is also very good.

However, this time Rondo did not pass the ball to Garnett who cut in, nor did he attack himself. Instead, he turned his wrist and threw the ball to Jeff Green, who was holding Stoudemire on the left waist and asked for the ball.

Stoudemire originally wanted to push Jeff Green out, but he didn't expect that after receiving the ball this time, Jeff Green would turn around and face the frame to attack, with his eyes facing each other, which caught Stoudemire by surprise.
