NBA: Starting with $20 billion, buying the Knicks

Chapter 290 Seven: Ewing Appears! TD North Shore Garden's off-the-market move!

In the end, with the Knicks firing all arrows in the second half, the Knicks got off to a good start with 112 points at 89:23.

They made a comeback this year and directly gave the Eastern leader Green Army a blow! !

If the winner of the first half was the impact of the two All-Star centers on the inside of the Celtics, then the winner of the whole game was the Knicks' crazy shots from the outside.

Among them, he made 15 more three-pointers than his opponent and scored 11 more. The 17 three-pointers made in a single game is also the record for the Knicks in a single game. All players except Huo Yao scored three-pointers. , Even David Lee tried to shoot a left-handed three-pointer at the top arc, which was okay!

This actually indirectly shows that the opponent did not shoot! !

With Ray Allen being seen dead, Rondo and Pishen didn't shoot three-pointers very much, and the substitutes didn't have many three-point firepower. The Celtics fell behind from the beginning tonight and fell into a quagmire.

"Ray Allen must be liberated!"

When Ray Allen left the court, he was angry and didn't talk to his teammates.

Zhang Weiping:
"Jiang Chao has hoarded three-point shooters since last season, and this time the effect is obvious."

Yu Jia: "Is this the time to enter the three-point era?"

"It's okay, just this opponent is a little hard to defend. If you encounter a breakthrough force like the Heat, you can't make a three-point lineup like this."

Howard, the tactical core, scored 24 points, 12 rebounds and 2 blocks.

The rebounds are almost taken by him and Yao Ming. Because of this tactical reason, other players seldom grab offensive rebounds.

In the second half, Yao Ming had 15 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks.

哈登19分0篮板7助攻1抢断1封盖，命中率高达68%！

Curry scored 16 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals, and his shooting percentage reached more than %.

On the outside, "the most expensive man" Turk Drew became a tool man, with 8 points and 6 assists. The stage was given to the young man, and he focused more on the defensive end to defend Pierce.

Now as long as the Knicks play with these four inside and outside, and can continue to create threats in singles, then the Knicks can play comfortably.

If the four of them can't score single-handedly, then the Knicks' tactics will be basically useless, and it will be useless if the opponent chooses man-to-man if they don't help defend.

In this case, you can only play the pick-and-roll tactics of Turk Drew and Howard before the Magic. This is the last trick that will be used. Warcraft's friends pick and roll, there is always someone who can just get in.

Yi Jianlian scored 12 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks. In the first game of the NBA playoffs, he came off the bench and got a satisfactory answer!This is just the beginning for him!

Danny Green scored 3 three-pointers in a single quarter, Matthews scored 2 three-pointers, Okur also scored 9 points, and one of the three-pointers was directly pulled down by Garnett...

So after the end of tonight, all the topics will not be on the players of both sides, but the Knicks' three-point team and Dayao's dream lineup: one inside and four outside!
In the era of defense first, use offense to kill your opponent!

Although high scores in the regular season seem to be frequent in the past few seasons, it is rare to get high scores in the playoffs. It is impossible to soar high scores when every team has a heavy tank inside.

And the Knicks all opened up three-pointers, which is a bit disrespectful of martial arts!
I haven't seen you go so crazy in the regular season. Stevens deserves to be an egalitarian coach. He's so good at playing.

If you change to a traditional coach, it will definitely take Harden as the true core of the outside line last year, and the trident of Turk Drew and Howard, and others can only wipe their ass.

As a result, it is now George's turn to play for 5 minutes, and he has the opportunity to control his luck and score a breakthrough. Is this the playoffs? ? ? ?
All Knicks star players? ?

Mainly it works.

And looking at it now, Jiang Chao’s last recruitment of Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming’s mobile Great Wall combination last year can be said to be a godsend. These two insiders are different from the black and tough North American insiders. They have the absolute height and feel of Asian insiders. And the toughness of the inside line of the United States, if coupled with the softness of the passing of the inside line in Europe, wouldn't it be invincible? ?
Now that these two can shoot inside and play for about 10 minutes on the defensive gate, it is too powerful. Yao Ming is too comfortable when he is a center forward off the bench.

With four shooters on the outside, he has enough space to show his various offensive steps, the kind that Rockets fans cry! !
The opponent's coaching staff could only stare blankly at Yao Ming single-handedly blasting the inside line. There was really no way for him to double-team and the outside line would suddenly soar into a long-range shot to go deeper into the marrow!

Three points is really painful for the chasing side!
Anyway, the Celtics are the most tiring inside. After the opponent shoots, they have to rebound alone with players like Warcraft and Yao Ming, Alexander!
Jiang Chao is right, after tonight, the Knicks system is enough for all teams to pay attention to!
Howard was happy during the live interview:

"What? You say I'm not the core?? It doesn't matter, just win!"

Before the Magic, it was not so easy for him to win against the Celtics. After joining the Knicks this year, he won so much fun. How can he be so happy? This is the real happy basketball!

ESPN post-game commentary:

"The Knicks, who made a comeback a year later, beat last season's Eastern Conference champions in the first game!! A bunch of rookies, even a few undrafted players, and older players with a maximum salary like YAO, were all changed by Jiang Chao Turn waste into treasure, build such a gorgeous system, it seems to rely on Howard, but in fact rely on the strength of the whole team to easily win the game, it is worthy of being a team of villains!"

"They probably only think about revenge!"

"This time it will definitely not be the first round!"

"Jiang Chao has such a perfect and gorgeous system for a long time, isn't it too much to call him the real king of New York?"

"The real strongman of the Knicks! Persimmon chief Lavjiang!"

The interview with the Celtics was short and scary. They had to make a deep reflection after the 20+ defeat, or Angie came out to speak on behalf of the Celtics:

"We were the kings of the Eastern Conference last year, and we will definitely perform as we should in the next game."

The Knicks didn't celebrate either. Last year's fall in the first round is still vivid in my memory. They also won games by a large margin. This year, they must not miss again. David Lee is still practicing on the spot after the audience leaves.

……

After 2 days.

G2.

The Knicks, whose tactics were completely exposed, simply stopped hiding. Since the first quarter of the second game, they have frequently used one-star four-shot tactics, regardless of how many insiders you have.

Anyway, I'm just standing on the inside with Hai Zijin Liang, if you can kill me inside, I'll hit it! ! !

Howard scored 13 points in a single quarter, Yao Ming scored 10 points in a single quarter in the second quarter, and Yi Jian even made 2 of 2 shots from beyond the three-point line and became a surprise player! !
In the third quarter, another defensive champion Beverly came out and made 4 of 3 three-pointers from the field... The fourth quarter was a pure substitute to feel the atmosphere of the playoffs.

Kyle Anderson didn't wait for himself in the last garbage time. This time he had the opportunity to play and let the world see what is called a creepy layup. The pick-and-roll breakthrough, his rhythm is a good player, he seized the only two opportunities and scored.

120:101，尼克斯主场再次19分大胜凯尔特人，把大比分改写成2：0！

Go ahead!

The Celtics zone was full of mourners, and they all yelled at the Knicks for being a big liar!

"Well, you young coach, you have been hiding for so long, the regular season starters have always been Howard + Yao Ming, in fact, they are all fake!!!"

"Yeah, Ma De, we always thought that two top centers would ravage the inside in the playoffs, and now we have one, and there is no way to defend the outside."

"You can't guard against one, isn't it also a ravage?"

"Kemis, I suggest replaying the game on December 12st. The Knicks started with the Twin Towers. Your pig-headed coach even responded with the Twin Towers. Isn't that also bloody?"

"It's not the same. Now we must have a layout for the twin towers, but you Knicks have changed your style of play instead! Shit!"

"Big Liar Knicks!"

"It made our green army not have enough time to react!"

In fact, the management of other teams are also amazed at the new look of the Knicks in the playoffs. Big Bird Bird said that his old club was actually cheated by a little boy.

The Knicks did play the Twin Towers starter for a season, but they don't look at Dayao's average playing time. He averaged 14 minutes per game and took more than a dozen games off. Will this become a regular starter? ?

Moreover, the Knicks had a star in the regular season. They just changed the lineup when they took the lead. If they were inaccurate, they used the triangle and horns to try the pick-and-roll. These details can only be said by the coaching staff of the Celtics. Didn't find it or too underestimated the enemy and didn't bother to find it? ? ?

Veterans who really follow the Knicks know that the Knicks have several good shooters, such as Mills and Danny Green. These two guards don’t need to dribble much, and many wonderful goals are just catches. voted directly.

It can only be said that the Celtics met in the unlucky first round, and their opponents after that will definitely have to study how to break the Knicks' tactic.

The fans in Madison Square were in high spirits, and the two consecutive home games were brutal!

Li Shishi interviewed excited fans on the spot:
A handsome fan wearing a national football jersey:
"Day you!! Add money!!! Be a Chinese men's basketball fan from today!"

Li Shishi was instantly embarrassed. He had never encountered such a direct Chinese swearing in his career as a host.

The next fan is from France, very coquettish. When Li Shishi asked about the changes of Knicksby last season this year, he said:
"Our change is that the cheerleading team has become more beautiful!! Hahahaha!! It's all thanks to the cheerleading team!"

"Seolhyun I love you!"

"I will always like you, Kim Seolhyun!" Another fan dressed next to him also shouted at the cheerleaders who were leaving the stadium! !
Not to mention, this interview really made everyone feel that this year's cheerleading team is much more powerful than last year's playoffs. Others may not have developed it at a young age, but Kim Seol-hyun really has the charm of charming men since childhood , that iconic smile and big watery eyes, now she is the C position of the Asian cheerleading team.

On the other hand, European and American cheerleaders are not very popular, maybe everyone is used to watching them, and many female fans who come to watch the game are not inferior to them, and the Asian ones stand out directly!

Kim Seolhyun already has his own support group of fans in North America!

Others like Song Qian and Nazha at most have their own Baidu Tieba and Hupu for a little discussion, which shows Xuexuan's cards.

But this is just a stalk, because Green Army fans like to make excuses.

So the Knicks fans simply made a string by themselves. The woman sitting next to Jiang Chao hasn't changed much, but the cheerleaders have changed.

Cheerleaders, we'll see you on the road in Boston!
Some fans here also said that it was because of the appearance of reporters such as Li Shishi, Wang Binbin, Zhang Yiyuan, Rachel, etc., but after all, the reporter's appearance is not as good as the cheerleading team, and Xiaopozhan is not popular now. When the video website becomes popular, they have time Only when you show your everyday side will you be popular.

Now it is too difficult for them to compare fans with this group of long-legged and cute future top idols.

"The offense is smooth and flowing. In fact, the Celtics are strong enough today."

When Spike Lee was interviewed, he was not stingy with any compliments to the Knicks. At the same time, he was also full of confidence in the next away game. In his old fan's opinion, today's Celtics have given everything. what.

Because 101 points is a lot for the Celtics. Garnett has 25 points, Pierce has 18 points, Ray Allen has 18 points, and Rondo has 13 points. It's a win.

But the opponent is stronger, Howard has 28 points, Yao Ming has 20 points... How can they lose with these two big brothers in this star? ?

As long as Curry Harden and the others are a little bit accurate, and the defense has been very aggressive under Clifford's training, how can they lose?
The Knicks scored in double figures with seven players, and the punches are afraid of being young. If this situation continues, they will be able to sweep the Celtics in two more away games.

At least for now, the Celtics' lineup can't match the Knicks' space lineup, and it's hard for someone to tear the line of defense, and the defensive end man-to-man can't stand up to the two luxurious insiders...

The weakest point of the Knicks last year became the strongest point after the introduction of Dayao and Howard!
Every time these two scored a goal, they apologized to Jiang Chao. At the beginning, they paid Dayao for more than half a year, and did not strengthen other players in the free market, just for today!

Ten years of drinking ice!

Just for today!

Let's see how violent Dayao is now with his knee fully recovered, so what if O'Neal and O'Neal play together?
And Coeha, who played well in the Heat's playoffs last year, was willing to go to the bottom corner to smoke. How do you defend at this time? These two are cold-blooded killers. They were not afraid of facing the Heat last year.

When the ball is in their hands, even if it is not open, they can play well.

The morale of the Knicks team is high. Compared with the first round last year, they won the first two games with ease, especially this is the Celtics!

D'Antoni, the former head coach and current vice president, said that he has never fought such a rich battle!
And now no one is mocking Jiang Chao's talk about the championship. At least from the first two games of the first round, the Knicks have no solution.

However, in order to keep the players from getting too excited, Jiang Chao specially asked Sean Marks to call his senior Ewing from the auditorium to the locker room to tell the players what to pay attention to in the away game.

After all, this is the most experienced player, and the TD North Shore Garden Retro Stadium is one of the more difficult home courts than Okur's Salt Lake City.

The gorilla Ewing also felt very respectable when he was invited here. Of course, what he said was definitely not nonsense:
"The away game is the beginning of the series, don't get too excited, little brothers!"

What he said next made the Knicks players who won the big victory splash cold water on their heads, and they all became nervous.

After all, 7 wins in 4 rounds is still early.

In the NBA, the difference between home and away games in a game is huge. Each team's home arena will have its own little secret, and during the game, the shouts of fans on the long side are louder and louder. Therefore, the visiting team It is very difficult to win the game.

The North Shore Garden Arena is definitely one of the most difficult home stadiums in the NBA. As the home arena of the Celtics, the oldest team, it is dominated by green, and it is full of flags that symbolize the honor of the Celtics. And retired jerseys, people will be infected by the atmosphere of the North Shore Garden when they come here.

Many players think that this is the most difficult home field to conquer. For example, the wooden floor and air temperature of the arena are the characteristics of North Shore Garden, coupled with the enthusiasm of the home fans, this has become one of the most difficult home courts in the NBA.

"Let me tell you a few off-the-market tricks that they may have." Ewing has seen the world after all, and he knows everything.

In fact, he felt good about this new team last year, because the Knicks without the traditional big center was not popular in his eyes, but now the Knicks' two major centers make him feel that his mantle has been passed on, and the regular season has He has come to practice with Howard and Yao a few times, not to mention giving them advice now. He also hopes that this team can create a new myth in the post-Ewing era!

One is that you must pay attention to the height of the basket when warming up. TD North Shore Garden will make small tricks to adjust the height so that you will have no hand feeling during the game.

Before the start of a game where the Warriors played the Celtics a few years ago, some Warriors players discovered a very big problem during warm-up, that is, the height of the basket was not enough. As a result, the on-site staff spent 20 minutes to repair it, and it was successful. Adjust the net to normal height.

Many fans believe that this is just a staff error.

But if you know the history of this arena, you know that this kind of trick is intentional by the Celtics, not a work error.

In the 80s, the Celtics’ home air conditioning was under control. When the visiting team came to the stadium for training and warming up, the temperature of the stadium’s air conditioning would be adjusted to a particularly low level, making it difficult for the visiting team’s players to complete the warm-up work.

When the away team was about to play the game, the air-conditioning temperature in the arena was adjusted to a very high level, which made the away players drowsy and their state dropped sharply.

In the 1984 finals, the 37-year-old Skyhook Kareem came to the home court of the Celtics to play the finals, but was told that the air conditioner in the locker room was broken, and the indoor problem was as high as 38 degrees.

The 37-year-old Jabbar could only wear an oxygen mask to deal with the suffocation caused by the high temperature. In the end, the Lakers lost the game.

This made Jiang Chao sound very fresh. He only knew that the Spurs had snakes at home, and the air conditioner had broken down, which caused Zhan Huang to lose the game with leg cramps...but it was because everyone didn't have air conditioner at the scene, and he didn't know why. James' physique is not as good as those three old men.

Ewing continued to recall.

The 80s was the era when the Celtics and the Lakers competed for hegemony. It was common for the Lakers to play games at the Celtics' home court. However, the Celtics had a smart basket at that time.

The Lakers led by the magician in the 80s had a very gorgeous fast break. As long as he got the rebound, the magician could quickly organize the offense. In many cases, the opponent had no chance to return to defense.

And the Celtics' smart basket will be adjusted. When the basket is tighter, there are more long rebounds and the ball stays in the air longer, which gives the Celtics players time to return to defense. The Lakers It is difficult to organize fast break opportunities, and can only stay and play positional warfare.

"Damn, this is okay??"

"You were so smart back then??"

This is the first time Dayao heard about it: "It's okay, then I touch the basket from time to time before making free throws."

"Don't touch it, it's useless, this one is still good, they may hit it by mistake, and what happens later is scary."

In addition, the magician has also encountered the magical floor of the Celtics. As a point guard, the magician is often forced to a fixed area by the Celtics defenders when the Celtics are playing at home. , The ball cannot bounce, and it is easily intercepted by the defensive players of the Celtics, but the Celtics players can avoid this area very well when attacking.

"Damn it!" Jiang Chao called Ewing because he wanted him to talk about chicken soup. Among the four major centers, Ewing is the best at talking. Honestly, it's easy to talk to people's hearts.

Unexpectedly, this directly came as a surprise. Are they avoiding the Knicks? ?

Curry: "Damn it... Then I can't dribble?"

Harden: "When I find out, I will call to suspend the report, hehe!"

Turk Drew: "Small, they didn't sanction Howard at the time because Howard didn't dribble."

Howard also laughed: "This is meaningless to me, unless they put a cover on the basket, otherwise the sky is the limit of my leap."

Ewing was still talking about something from the year before last:
In the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs in 2008, the young Eagles dragged the series into the Game , which will be played at the home court of the Celtics. Before the Game , the Eagles players ordered alcohol during the break drinks.

As a result, the drinks provided by the hotel contained double the amount of alcohol. After the Eagles finished drinking, they stretched their legs collectively in the tiebreaker on the second day. In the end, the Celtics successfully won the series.

It can be seen how big the home court advantage of the Celtics is. As the fans said, the visiting team's locker room did not have hot water for bathing after the game.

These are trivial things that are not worth mentioning. After all, they did not affect the game, but the above three out-of-the-box moves really affected the game.

Hearing this, Sean Marks is sweating on his back:

"Assistant, you bring your drinks on our chartered flight. In the away game 2, we bring our own drinks, and we only eat at the restaurant we booked."

"OK!" Ewing's words let everyone in the locker room see each other for a long time. This home game outside the game is really scary, just don't eat it badly.

Jiang Chao wondered if Pierce pulled because he drank the wrong drink? ?Is the green army so dirty?

Check out Madison Square Garden.

The reason why so many super giants create brilliance here is not because the Knicks talk about martial arts and never make trouble at home.

"Everyone pay attention to the outside moves in the next game. Play normally, we won't lose, just don't be nervous." Ewing patted Curry on the shoulder with a smile.

Beverly: "Don't make the three-point line farther, I like to step on the line and shoot."

Curry took a deep breath: "This is fine, the farther the better!!"
