After that, none of the three of them talked about the serious matters, Li Feng and D'Antoni did not insist on talking about the topic they had just argued. The three of them chatted casually and left. Dolan also knew that neither of them could give up their understanding, but they just hoped that they would not have internal conflicts before the playoffs came. 1(1)

Before the playoffs, the Knicks were under a lot of pressure. The New York Knicks were preparing for the next NBA game. Their opponent was the terrifying Boston Celtics. Although the number one position in the Eastern Conference this year is hardly the Celtics, no one dared to underestimate this team. The Knicks went to Boston to challenge the Celtics must have encountered a fierce battle. At this moment, the Knicks were tired again, and the outside world was worried whether the Knicks would fall in front of ten consecutive victories.

If the Knicks have any advantages now, then the Knicks are very strong now. In terms of the Boston Celtics, although the Knicks have become a little tired recently, the remnant of the ten-game winning streak still makes the Bostons pay full attention. In an interview with the Boston Evening News, Boston Celtics head coach Rivers spoke cautiously.

"The record can reflect the state of a team. They win ten consecutive games and have high morale. We will do our best to keep the victory."

The Knicks challenged the Celtics, seventh in the East and second in the East. If they enter the playoffs according to this ranking, the two teams will meet, which was also seen by some media as a preview of the first round of the playoffs.

Many experts have given their own opinions. Last season, the Celtics still showed strong power in the playoffs when they lost Garnett, especially Rondo. It is not an exaggeration to call his performance a top point guard. This summer, Garnett returned from injury and Angie took action to introduce Wallace and Daniels and defined the strength of the Celtics as a significant increase.

On the offensive end, although the Celtics are not famous super destroyers, their attack power can definitely be ranked in the league. A very simple truth is that even if you make a simple accumulation, the Celtics' star accumulation is enough to generate deadly firepower. At the same time, the firepower distribution is reasonable, including the main ace core scorer and the talents who grab the grade on the bench. Perhaps the horror of this team cannot be seen from the data. But if you attack with them in the game, it will definitely be a dead end.

If the Celtics lack a star on the offensive end, then the Celtics are truly a "five-star" team on the defensive end. As the top three teams in the league in defense, their defensive intensity and strict requirements are astonishing. Especially this season when the inside defensive core Garnett returns and is equipped with a stronger lineup depth, the Celtics' defense may only be even better.

With this analysis, almost everyone stood on the side of the Celtics. Eddie Cory, the Knicks inside, also met a heavy-duty defensive player like Perkins, with almost no advantage. Chris Duhon is much worse than Rondo, and Thornton, a young shooter, also has a clear gap with Ray Allen, and Harden is naturally not as good as Pierce. In addition, Li Feng, the Knicks, played against Garnett, the most comprehensive defense. It seems that the Celtics are the nemesis of the Knicks.

However, judging from the Knicks' game, they have defeated many opponents who are far better than their opponents on the surface. The key to their victory is Li Feng. Garnett's defense may be able to curb Li Feng, but Duncan has never been able to defend Li Feng. If Li Feng can make a gap in Garnett, the Knicks still have the possibility of victory.

Therefore, the battle between Li Feng and Garnett will influence this series, which is a fight between the two forwards of the era.

Garnett and Barkley were fighting more than a decade ago, or when they were fighting with Larry Johnson, the media would use such a big man as a gimmick.

Now the battle between Li Feng and Garnett has also been brought out, but Garnett, who used to be a young challenger, has now become an older player, and Li Feng has become a challenger.

While the whole of the United States was noisy, the Knicks also set off from New York to Boston.

Boston is not as developed as New York, but living in such a city feels much more comfortable than New York. When Li Feng stayed in a hotel, he often opened the windows to let the sea breeze blow in, and then enjoyed the sea breeze while resting.

The atmosphere of the war is about to break out in Boston, and the air is filled with the smell of two teams.

Finally, the two teams finally met at the North Shore Garden Arena in Boston, and Bostonians poured into the stadium from all directions.

Espn's broadcasters took over the shooting position of the stadium early. Before the game started, the media, fans and commentators were all busy.

Before today's game began, the tension of the game began to spread. Boston fans wore all green clothes, covering every corner of the court like a light green ocean.

Li Feng walked off the bus and didn't say anything to the media. He walked into the locker room dullly and prepared to start the competition dullly.

It is also easy to find someone to do the opening ceremony in a city like Boston. After the grand opening ceremony, the Knicks and the Celtics finally began.

The Knicks' lineup tonight is point guard Chris Duhon, shooting guard Marcus Thornton, small forward James Harden, power forward Li Feng, and center Eddie Cory.

The Celtics' lineup is point guard La Garondo, shooting guard Ray Allen, small forward Paul Pierce, power forward Kevin Garnett, and center Kendrick Perkins.

There is no surprise in the arrangement of both teams. The Knicks are still the same, and the Celtics maintain their usual lineup.

In terms of offense, the Knicks' current lineup has strong firepower, strong outside shooting ability, and strong inside line.

The only disadvantage is Du Hong. Du Hong's organizational ability and offensive ability are relatively mediocre, and there are some problems with defense.

Especially tonight, Du Hong, who is average in defense, meets Rondo, which may give Rondo a lot of offensive space.

Overall, there is no problem with the Knicks' offense, and the problems are all focused on defense.

Du Hong's opponent Rondo is not reassuring. In addition, playing with a team like the Celtics, the Knicks' outside rotation defense level is not sufficient.

There are many defensive problems, and these are the things that the Knicks need to overcome during the game.

Fortunately, the Celtics' problems are similar to those of the Knicks. The Celtics are not lacking in offensive firepower. There are Garnett in the inside and a large number of scoring players on the outside. The Celtics' offense is also fine, but the Celtics' defense today is not very good, of course this is not very good. It means that they are not as good as usual. Even so, they are much better than the Knicks.

At the referee's instructions, Corey and Perkins walked into the middle circle, and with a whistle, the referee threw the basketball into the sky.

In an instant, Corey, who had been so much so much that he couldn't help it, seemed like a beast was out of the cage and rushed up suddenly.

Perkins' body was fierce and knocked away Corey in the air like a beast, and he ordered the basketball early.

The basketball was suddenly pointed to Rondo's hands, and the Celtics had the advantage at the beginning, and the audience at the North Shore Garden Arena cheered.

While running towards his half, Li Feng recalled Perkins's scramble just now. Perkins, a fat man, bounced so fast just now!

Rondo moved slowly and saw that Ray Allen ran to the bottom line, then he swung hard and simply passed the basketball from Thornton's head to Ray Allen's hand.

Rondo's passes are very simple, without any particularly fancy moves or particularly steep passes.

Now he sent the basketball to Ray Allen through Thornton, and Ray Allen simply jumped. The opening game was a three-pointer hitting the Knicks' basket.

After Ray Allen scored, Bill Walton, who was sitting in the commentary seat, immediately said:

"The Celtics started well! In terms of the comparison of outside players, the Celtics are obviously better than the Knicks, which is a major advantage of the Celtics.

Ray Allen, Pierce, and even Rondo, they will be very easy to score on the Knicks' perimeter."

At the beginning, the Celtics made a three-pointer. After the Knicks advanced, they started to play from inside.

The Knicks' first attack was given to Li Feng first.

This is the tactical strategy formulated by the Knicks before the game, first attracting the Celtics to shrink against the inside and then fire from the outside. This is also a tactical strategy that the Knicks have insisted on in recent times.

Li Feng got the basketball at a high position and immediately turned around quickly. At the moment he turned around, Li Feng formulated a targeted offensive strategy.

Originally, Li Feng's opponent was Garnett, but Harden came to the top and became Pierce and Li Feng. Although Zhenli was strong, his height was only 2.01 meters!

When playing such a player, wouldn’t Li Feng’s best choice be based on his height to shoot? After making up his mind, Li Feng turned around, paused for a moment, and jumped up and took action.

Li Feng's jump shot was completely bullying others' low-level truth, and Pierce did not react slowly, so he jumped up and sealed Li Feng's face with one hand.

But where is the difference in height? Li Feng used standard high throwing. As soon as Pierce's hand reached Li Feng, Li Feng had already taken action.

Although Li Feng escaped Pierce's block, Li Feng felt very awkward when he made a move. Today, he always felt that his finger was inappropriate at the moment of his attack. He felt very unhappy when the basketball flew out.

This unpleasant feeling was in Li Feng's mind, and the basketball he took was uncomfortable and hit the rebound on the side.

Failed to win! Failed to hit the first shot, this is not good news.

The basketball was easily taken off by Garnett under the Celtics' basket, and Li Feng shook his head and retreated quickly.

Li Feng retreated and silently recited mentally, "Didn't the touch feel good today? If this is the case, things will be bad."

Li Feng was thinking about the next time he went there, and when he tried the feel.

The Celtics rushed up again quickly. Don’t look at the Celtics as a team that mainly plays in the internal and external teams, but the Celtics’ speed is not slow, and Garnett has strong movement ability.

In this way, when the Celtics have strong ability to play positions, they are also very powerful when playing fast attacks.

When the Celtics came over quickly, Rondo's speed and flexibility suddenly showed his power.

He could only watch Rondo drive the ball and break through to the Knicks' free throw line, and suddenly stopped and threw Du Hong away.

Then I saw Rondo jumping directly, raised his hands high and made an emergency stop jump shot.

Rondo's jump shot was extremely sufficient, and his hands were almost completely straightened.

The basketball hit the Knicks' basket as accurately as a shell from Rondo's hand.

Both of the Celtics' offenses started from the outside, and Garnett did not participate, but in this way, the Knicks did not have any power to switch hands.

Rondo and Ray Allen played very easily and sent the basketball into the Knicks' basket.

In this way, the Knicks' outside defense is really worrying.

The Celtics can score so easily and simply on the outside. This made D'Antoni look ugly, but it's too early to adjust, and the game starts less than a minute.

D'Antoni stood on the sideline with a steep face, and all the Knicks players ran to the Magic's halftime quickly.

This time the attack was replaced by Thornton, and the team helped Thornton provide a cover at 45 degrees.

Thornton quickly ran behind Li Feng and got the basketball, and then Thornton directly received the ball and jumped here.

Before Thornton's jump shot, his teammates' screens, his own running, and his shooting moves after receiving the ball.

All of this was done perfectly with his teammates, and Ray Allen did not interfere with Thornton at all.

But with such a good opportunity, Thornton's jump shot failed.

The basketball jumped out all of a sudden.

D'Antoni's face became more and more ugly. The Celtics seemed to have put a lot of pressure on the Knicks invisibly. Even he naturally felt this way. It seemed that his team did not win ten consecutive games, but lost ten consecutive games. Li Feng and Thornton's attacks, the Celtics had flaws in defense, but they didn't make any progress. In the face of the powerful Celtics, even if they did not defend well, the Knicks still took advantage. It was difficult to play today's game. (To be continued...)
