Chapter 401: real killer
But he can\'t let Pierce rest, if he let Pierce rest, then no one can defend Lian Dao.
Here the Celtics are still attacking to no avail. In the end, the Celtics\' shooting rate is lower.
Lian Dao grabbed the defensive rebound, and Pierce tried his best to block Lian Dao\'s side, buying time for his teammates to return to defense.
But it was just two disguises, Lian Dao easily passed Pierce, and then quickly rushed forward.
Lian Dao accelerated towards the basket from outside the three-point line.
Garnett took a deep breath and blocked Lian Dao\'s breakthrough route, preparing to have a head-on collision with Lian Dao.
However, when Lian Dao Garnett hit him, Lian Dao threw the ball to Stoudemire beside him.
"Shet, can\'t this kid be alone?" Garnett wanted to go back to catch up and defend immediately, but at this level of the game, he was also at the end of his strength, and his pace was always slower.
And just as he turned around, he saw Stoudemire, who was emptied by himself, go to the basket. Garnett\'s face was full of despair.
After Stoudemire got to the basket, he scored a layup.
The Celtics wanted to prevent the Knicks from playing fast breaks, but Pierce missed Lian Dao and Garnett missed Stoudemire.
After Stoudemire scored the goal, the game was interrupted again.
Rivers called a timeout, he had to call a timeout.
In the last five minutes, the Celtics only scored two points since they came on the court. Now that Stoudemire scored two points, the Knicks have already led by 11 points.
But five minutes ago, the Celtics tied the score!
Now there are still 35 seconds left in the game, and this is also the Celtics\' last chance.
But during this timeout, the fans at the scene stood up and cheered collectively. They didn\'t care what tactics Rivers would formulate. In the last 35 seconds, no one at the scene thought that the Celtics would complete the miracle of reversing 11 points.
The Celtics don’t have McGrady. Even with McGrady, McGrady can’t hit the miracle of 35 seconds and 13 points. Moreover, the Celtics are young and old. If they can counterattack against the sky, they won’t be able to play in five minutes. Only got two points.
"The Celtics have no chance. Sickle\'s scoring ability at the last moment is too terrifying. He is like a killer choking the Celtics. He is cold-blooded, wise, and ruthless! 37 points, 10 rebounds and 16 assists!"
"Terrible triple-double data. Although he didn\'t score 40+ or 50+ points in this game, his 16 assists made his opponents tremble. Sickle not only kills with scoring, but also with assists!"
With Barkley shouting, the fans in the audience were cheering for Lian Dao.
The cheers at the scene went straight to the sky.
On the Celtics\' bench, in order to arrange tactics, Rivers had to increase the volume and bring the players around him closer to ensure that the players could barely hear them.
On the Knicks side, the players and coaches have already high-fived and hugged. The Knicks side is full of young players, and there are not many players with a lot of playoff experience.
So basically all Knicks players are very excited to beat their opponents from the previous year in two consecutive games at home.
Near the end of the game, TNT once again compared the data of Lian Dao and Pierce on the big screen.
Pierce\'s final data has hardly changed before, still 34 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. The only thing that has changed is probably the field goal percentage.
And Lian Dao, with 37 points, 10 rebounds and 16 assists, is very different from before.
In terms of scoring and statistics, Pierce is completely crushed.
After Rivers arranged the tactics, the game entered the final 35 seconds.
The Celtics still haven\'t given up. They want to steal a victory at Madison Square Garden too much. You must know the feeling of returning to the home court with 0:2 and the feeling of returning to the home court with 1:1 Stress is very different.
"First Evolution"
If they return to the home court with 0:2, then they will not have any misses in the next two home games, otherwise they will directly let the Knicks get the match point, but if they return to the home court with 1:1, they still have There can be some margin of error.
This kind of fault tolerance is too important for the old Celtics.
Garnett hit two points inside jumper, as if to let the Celtics bench players see some hope.
But the time lost by the timer is always alerting them not to dream.
At the last moment, the Celtics made a tactical foul. They failed to find Lian Dao. Lian Dao made more than 90% of his free throws this season. The foul was on him and could only give the Knicks points.
So, the first thing they looked for was Cousins, who made 68.7% of his free throws this season.
Honestly, it\'s not that good, but it\'s slightly better than O\'Neal, who is shooting 52.7 percent for his career.
At the last moment, Cousins was a little nervous and made two free throws, but in the last 2.5 seconds after the game time, the Knicks still maintained a 7-point lead.
Rivers rubbed his head helplessly, then slammed the tactical board on the floor.
97:104!
The Boston Celtics were only 7 points away and lost again to the New York Knicks.
Under the strong leadership of Lian Dao, the Knicks have won six consecutive victories in the playoffs. The current big score against the Celtics has also become 2:0!
Compared with last season\'s thrilling Knicks win in the playoffs, this season\'s Knicks playoffs are more stable, with an epee without front but invincible trend.
"A great victory for the Knicks. The Knicks are still undefeated in the playoffs! Jeff Green and Paul Pierce both created a lot of difficulties for the Knicks in this game."
"But Sickle, who was stronger than them, stood up and grabbed another victory from the Celtics! Sickle is a player who can make the team better. Not only that, he is also a player who can end the game. player of!"
"Let us continue to look forward to the performance of the Knicks in the next game!"
The Celtics players walked off the court one by one with their heads down. Before the game, as an honorary dynasty team, they didn\'t think much of the upstart Knicks. This was the case last season, and it is still the case this season.
But after losing two games in a row, the Knicks, an upstart, knocked the arrogance of the Celtics to the ground, then crushed their feet hard, and now they almost spit twice before leaving.
At that time, they were only one step away from victory, but in the end they still shattered all expectations.
At critical moments, Lian Dao can always play an unstoppable performance.
In the last game, the score gap he made Garnett worked so hard to close was fleeting; today, he used another game to tell Pierce what it means to replace the old with a new generation.
The Wolf King shook his head with some regret. He had a feeling in his heart last season. Last year was the window period for them to win the championship. At that time, there was no Heat Big Three. He knew that the Knicks would be unstoppable in the new season.
And his feeling finally came into reality, not only that, there are more and more top teams in the East, the Big Three of the Heat, the Knicks, the Windy Roses of Chicago...
Although Garnett still doesn\'t want to admit that he is old, but in terms of defensive efficiency and offensive efficiency in the playoffs, he has to accept the reality.
If five years ago, how could he have allowed Stoudemire to act recklessly on his head. Stoudemire scored 31 points and 12 rebounds in this game.
And in this game, Garnett wanted to make up for the defense many times, but he was always a step too late. If this was 5 years ago, no, 3 years ago, he could have made these misplacements and converted them into blocks.
To be able to meet the Knicks for two years can only say that the Celtics are more unlucky.
Garnett scored 23 points, 2 assists and 7 rebounds today. In fact, his performance was not bad. This is definitely the data of an All-Star player, and he also scored 12 points in a single quarter in this game.
Moreover, throughout the first quarter, Garnett, who came to the fifth position, beat Cousins, but except for 12 points in a single quarter, his performance in the second half was really unsatisfactory.
Moreover, if you want to beat the Knicks, it\'s useless to just beat Cousins, someone needs to beat Lian Dao.
And so far, Rivers has thought about many attempts to defeat Lian Dao, single defense, double-teaming, these two attempts have ended in failure so far...
After the game, the hero of the victory in this game, Lian Dao, who got a triple-double in the playoffs, was enthusiastically sought after by the media.
Although the triple-double has long been considered supernatural performance by Lian Dao, but in the current era when the triple-double is still very valuable, it is still amazing that Lian Dao can get a triple-double in the playoffs.
