Chapter 526 A Different Green Shirt Army!(1/3)
............
The Knicks looked a little stressed.
The Celtics are changing differently last season.
“The Celtics are extra vigor tonight!”
"Can you not be able to do anything? You have achieved nothing in three years, not even an Eastern Conference champion!"
"The Celtics are one of the teams that most hope to beat the Knicks."
"I also want to see if the Knicks will lose."
"The schedule is not very friendly to the Knicks."
"The Knicks' goal this season is to win three consecutive championships and shape the dynasty. For them, one or two wins in the regular season are not taken seriously."
"Come on, the Knicks defeated their opponent!"
On the court, Lin Rui still looked calm.
Lin Rui dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and took the pick-and-roll with Randolph.
After the pick-and-roll, Lin Rui passed it back to Randolph.
Randolph received the ball at the free throw line, adjusted it slightly before taking the middle distance.
"box!"
The basketball hit the basket heavily.
The rebound was taken down by Gasol Jr. Gasol Jr. threw the ball out to Lin Rui.
After a slight adjustment from the three-point line, Lin Rui made a three-pointer against Rondo's defense.
The basketball draws a wonderful arc!
The basketball came out again after a round of swishing.
It can be seen that the Knicks don't feel good overall.
The rebound was now controlled by Garnett.
Garnett gave the ball to Rondo.
Rondo dribbles quickly and the Celtics runs in the frontcourt more actively than the Knicks players.
Rondo's command and dispatch are also more mature than in the previous two years.
This time Pierce cut in with Garnett's pick-and-roll, and Rondo gave the ball to Pierce.
After Pierce received the ball, he leaned against Tucker and made a three-step layup.
Although the Knicks' defense does not seem to have many loopholes on the surface, the loopholes are still exposed after the confrontation.
Randolph had to help defend at this time, but after a glance, he did not move his steps.
Pierce pressed Tucker to make a layup and scored the ball.
“Beebeep!!”
This ball is still a two plus one, and Tucker fouled.
Standing on the free throw line, Pierce hit the ball steadily.
0 to 8.
"Come here to help." Tucker shouted at Randolph.
"I thought you could handle him." Randolph shrugged.
Seeing that the two were about to argue, Lin Rui went over and patted them on the shoulders, compressing the dispute in the cradle.
.....
.....
"pause!!"
D'Antoni couldn't wait to stop the game.
The Knicks rarely get so much behind in the beginning.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The Celtics were cheering up, and head coach Jeff Van Gundy even waved his fists.
This is what he hopes to see.
The fans of the North Shore Garden Arena were also cheering and screaming.
I don’t know how long it has been, but they are suppressed against the Knicks, and there are very few scenes where they gain an advantage at the beginning!
The fans seemed to see the new coach's new atmosphere!
Rivers should really resign early!!
D'Antoni applauded and shouted at everyone: "Concentrate, don't relax, this is the second game of the regular season!"
"Keep focus and stay aggressive!"
D'Antoni was constantly emphasizing attention issues.
The Knicks' players and strength are not bad, it just depends on whether they are focused.
Lin Rui wiped his sweat with a towel.
Lin Rui also noticed that the team's overall fighting spirit is not as good as last season.
Many people on the team did not win the championship last season, and everyone was still very active. After winning the championship, everyone's mentality was unstable.
Randolph, who usually doesn't like training, has reached the extreme. After winning two championships, he seems to have no pursuit in his career and relaxed his weight control.
Lin Rui knew human nature very well, and he knew that this relaxation would not end soon.
The Knicks' biggest trouble this season is not the other teams, but themselves.
Including Lin Rui himself, Lin Rui also felt that he was not so urgent to win the championship.
No opponent now seems to be able to pose a threat to them...
Lin Rui kind of understands why Jordan chose to retire after three consecutive championships.
When personal and collective honors reach their peak, there will be a lack of challenges. This lack of spiritual goals is a painful thing.
Lin Rui doesn't feel boring like Jordan. He has only been playing in NBA for three seasons, and he is still full of love for basketball.
The pause will be back soon.
D'Antoni chose to make personnel adjustments.
Danny Green was replaced by Tony Allen.
Randolph was replaced by Korver, and Tucker pushed to the power forward position.
There was no change in the Celtics.
Knicks attack.
Lin Rui dribbles forward.
The strength of the Celtics is not only on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end.
Pierce came up to fight Lin Rui, which made the intensity of the playoffs increase.
Lin Rui calmly dribbled behind his back to avoid Pierce's pounce.
Pierce's goal grabbing was still too fierce. Lin Rui found an opportunity to break through on the right and pass him.
Garnett was the one who assisted in defense. Garnett dared not be careless and raised his hands to come over.
Lin Rui didn't wait for Garnett to be too far ahead, so he stopped in a hurry and took action in the middle distance.
Although Garnett made a pounce, this pounce did not affect Lin Rui's rhythm.
The basketball draws a wonderful arc!
"Swish!"
2 to 8.
Lin Rui's mid-range jump shot opened the situation for the Knicks.
D'Antoni was just now applauding on the sidelines.
"Lin Rui is the key gentleman of the Knicks."
"When Lin Rui needs to score, Lin Rui will stand up."
"This ball is so beautiful."
"It's very accurate to have a mid-range distance. Even if the feel is poor, Lin Rui can still score this goal with a clear shot."
