Chapter 483 Stop the bleeding!(2/3)
The fans at the scene made deafening cheers, and Lin Rui played the ball very domineeringly!!
Rivers on the sidelines were very dissatisfied with the defense of the Celtics players. He thought Lin Rui's dunk was too easy.
It's too passive to enter the final quarter after falling behind double digits.
D'Antoni was also dissatisfied with the team as a whole in this quarter. The double digit lead was obtained by Lin Rui's second-round play for the whole quarter.
The tension in the game made him dare not replace Lin Rui easily.
The intensity of this competition also consumes Lin Rui's physical energy very much.
During the holiday break, everyone could see Lin Rui sweating.
Lin Rui was targeted too hard, and his opponent was fighting with Lin Rui in almost every round.
If Lin Rui hadn't been good enough for his body, his efficiency would have declined severely.
The confrontation provided by the Celtics and the Bucks is not at the same level.
After the fourth quarter started, D'Antoni chose to let Lin Rui rest on the bench.
Barkley said: "D'Antoni's choice is very risky. Without Lin Rui, it's difficult for them to deal with the pressure brought by the Celtics on both sides of the offense and defense."
Smith said: "But Lin Rui also needs a rest. The Knicks have a deep enough lineup to deal with this situation."
Barkley said: "The Knicks still have some over-reliance on Lin Rui. Let's see if they can deal with Lin Rui's absence."
Seeing that Lin Rui was not on the court, Rivers thought the opportunity had come.
Although Curry has good organizational skills, he is just a rookie after all, and Rivers believes that he can't withstand the Celtics' offensive.
Rivers immediately began to dispatch troops.
Pierce and Garnett continued to attack the Knicks on both sides of the offense and defense.
The playing time of these two veterans is not shorter than that of Lin Rui, but they are now fighting with a spirit.
They all knew very well that if their overall strength was not as good as the Knicks, they could only use this kind of fighting spirit to reduce the gap between the two teams.
The Knicks attack first.
Curry, who was not Lin Rui, was very calm in playing.
Curry took advantage of Gasol's pick-and-roll and walked around the cover continuously.
Curry changed direction and broke through, and the right side of the free throw line was staggered. Garnett's rhythm quickly pulled up and jumped for two points.
Curry's attack speed was very fast, Garnett was a little slower.
The basketball draws a wonderful arc.
"Swish!"
One arrow pierces the heart!!
85 to 98.
Lin Rui was also cheering for Curry off the court. As long as Curry plays a little calmer, it will not be difficult to win this game. He can also use this time to rest for a while.
Celtic offense.
House dribbles through half the game.
House passed the ball, and after a series of guides, House gave the ball to Pierce in the inside.
Pierce singles Tucker at low post.
Pierce is good at attacking at low posts.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Tucker's center of gravity was very low, and Pierce did not advance very quickly.
But Pierce has a lot of experience. After three consecutive impacts, he turned around and wiped them with the force.
Pierce turned to the basket, shook Gasol, who was young under the basket, and then advanced the ball.
87 to 98.
The Celtics still attack with steady attack, which is also their characteristic.
In the next round of the Knicks' offense, Curry still firmly chose to break through after taking the ball to the frontcourt.
When Lin Rui was not present, Curry hoped that he could shoulder the team's offensive responsibility.
Curry still made an emergency jump shot against Garnett.
But this time Garnett was wary and stretched his arms as much as possible to interfere with Curry.
"box!"
Curry's move hit the box and popped up, and Pierce controlled the rebound.
Pierce gave the ball to House, and House dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and continued to Pierce.
Pierce did not rush to attack, but waited for Garnett to come and initiated a pick-and-roll.
After the pick-and-roll, Pierce made two passes to Garnett, who was in high position.
Garnett's long-distance jump shot after a step back.
The shot point of this ball is very high, but it is very stable.
The basketball draws a wonderful arc!!
"Swish!"
89 to 98.
After continuous offense, the Celtic players became more motivated, and they became more active on the defensive end.
Curry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and launched a pick-and-roll with Tucker. After the pick-and-roll, Tucker ran to the bottom corner, and Curry passed the ball to Tucker as he marched.
The Celtics have a very strong defense. Curry made a mistake in passing the ball and threw it directly, except for the bounds.
....
...
The Knicks without Lin Rui are not bad at all, they still have many offensive points.
But they lack confidence, while the Celtics are more confident the more they fight.
In the second lineup, the Knicks once again fell into a disadvantage.
With 7 minutes and 33 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Pierce clicked Danny Green on the right and completed a three-plus one with Danny Green!
This three plus one successfully helped the Celtics turn the difference between the two teams into 3 points.
The score is 97 to 100,
The Knicks were beaten with a small climax.
D'Antoni did not dare to neglect and immediately called for a stop.
The Knicks are not immature. They are lagging behind without Lin Rui and can't play basketball. Instead, they are in a bad overall condition today tonight.
"The Knicks can't do without Lin Rui."
"Curry is still embarrassed by his great responsibility, and the best rookie is still a rookie after all."
"D'Antoni's tactics also lack change, and Lin Rui is about to go."
"The Celtics' tactical level is obviously stronger than the current Knicks."
"The Knicks are not in good shape tonight, and this game will be a bit difficult."
The fans on the scene could feel the pressure brought by the Celtics.
This is what they want to see.
There is almost no suspense in the last round of the playoffs, and they hope this round of the playoffs will be more intense!
"Lin Rui!"
"Lin Rui!"
"Lin Rui!"
"We want Lin Rui!"
The fans on the scene quickly gathered the voices into one.
It's always so unreliable on the field without Lin Rui.
Fans all hope that Lin Rui will come out and help the Knicks solve the problem.
D'Antoni waved at Lin Rui, indicating that he could appear.
Lin Rui also threw away the towel and stood up. The next battle was to be a decisive battle.
Barkley said: "The Celtics show their toughness with the whole world. This attitude is what every team needs. The Knicks are strong, but they will also lose. If every team is afraid of fighting with them, they will be invincible."
