~Date: ~November 10th~

Basketball fans all over the world focused on the North Shore Garden Arena. In another half an hour, in the seventh game of the Eastern Conference semi-finals, the Boston Celtics' home game against the New York Knicks is about to begin.

As the war is approaching, the Celtic stars are also working hard to warm up. The skillful skills, smooth cooperation, and the occasionally fancy skills exposed have attracted warm applause from the Celtic fans in the stands.

Due to too many fans, the stadium will be open to the public from 17:00 pm and will accept fans. When the game is still one hour before, the stadium is completely full. It looks like a green back, and the yellow in New York is submerged.

The 20,000 tickets are still not enough to satisfy the fans who witnessed this great battle with their own eyes. Most of the fans who did not have tickets choose to watch the game in the nearby bar, some of them watch the big screen in the square, and a very small number of unwilling fans are waiting for the vote refunders, and even the scalpers to appear.

In such occasions, there are naturally no need for politicians from all walks of life, entertainment stars, and politicians here to show their favor, attract votes for themselves, celebrities come to this high-end summit to show their identity, and celebrities also use the enthusiasm of the competition to gain popularity.

"...We are the strongest team, this is our territory, and you all know what kind of team the opponent is. I don't believe that you 12 people can't beat Li Feng!... With so many fans today, I have no other requirements for you and I, just win! Victory! Victory! Win at all costs."

Rivers did not emphasize tactics at this time. All he had to do was to inspire the players' fighting spirit and courage and let them fight to the death for victory.

In the Knicks' locker room, the same passion was burning.

"We don't have the skills of everyone, we don't have the experience of everyone, we don't have the advantages of everyone's home court, but! We have passion, we have fighting spirit, we have blood! Do you know what fate is? Do you want to control your own destiny? Let me tell you that fate is in our hands! In this game, we will run to death in the Celtics and sprinkle our sweat and blood in every second!"

Most of the Knicks players are young people around 20 years old, and it is the time when their blood is boiling. D'Antoni's fierce expression and strong words are like stimulants, a mixture of alcohol and aphrodisiacs that stimulate their adrenal hormones. His mother felt that the blood was really boiling, and they shouted in unison:

"Fuck everyone in Celtic!"

...

"boom!"

The 20,000 fans at the scene shouted and applauded, drowned the commentator's voice, and interrupted the team flags and emblems in the stands, with scarves and long hair flying, and the green paper confetti sprinkled, the lively scene was like a moment of winning the championship and winning the cup.

The warm cheers and passionate applause continued until the lights changed on the scene. At this time, the commentators began to announce the lineup of the two sides in a loud voice.

"The Celtics continue to send Rashid as the starting center, and the distribution of the four giants remains unchanged. This lineup is the strongest lineup for the Celtics."

"Where is the Knicks, D'Antoni gave up Eddie Cory, who often suffered fouls. The center is led by Al Harrington, and Harrington and Cory each have their own advantages. With Harrington to play the center, the Knicks still have to compete for speed and attack in this game! D'Antoni made the last bet!"

After the players from both sides appeared, the tnt commentator's seat became lively.

"Faced with the Knicks who are weaker than themselves, Rivers also chose to attack, but for Rivers, defending Li Feng is an unsolvable problem. Instead of focusing on defense, it is better to completely liberate the offense. This will be an expected offensive battle. The Boston Celtics attack with all their strength. The firepower should not be underestimated."

"The game is about to begin. In the last game, Li Feng scored 56 points. He has set a record. Today, facing the Green Shirts who gave up defense, what kind of performance will he bring to everyone? Let's wait and see!"

...

Harrington and Wallace walked into the middle circle together.

Harrington is younger than Wallace. However, he is already a veteran with more than ten years of NBA experience. In terms of physical fitness, he has a great advantage over Roaring Heavenly Lord, who has entered the end of his career.

But when the referee whistle sounded, Wallace quickly pointed the basketball into Rondo's hand behind him.

After Rondo won the basketball, he quickly ran to the frontcourt. Today, the Celtics had such a fast pace.

It was not very similar to usual, so D'Antoni immediately became nervous. Since the opening, D'Antoni felt that the situation was not very right.

When D'Antoni was thinking this way, he saw Rondo get the basketball and pass it quickly to Ray Allen, who had already run around the court for half a lap. Allen ran out and received the basketball. He made a light fake move. Seeing that Thornton was not flying, he waited for a moment and saw that Pierce had already run along the route that Allen had run and came out again.

Harden was blocked by Garnett when he was passing by the bottom line. With a slight block, a moment of space appeared.

There was only a moment in the air, but Pierce, who received the basketball, took a slow step and cut in a curly and directly inserted into the Knicks' basket. When Li Feng came up, Pierce made a simple fake move, delaying Li Feng a little bit, and then Pierce leaned forward and put the basketball into the Knicks' basket with ease.

Pierce's offense has this characteristic. It doesn't look fierce, it doesn't make any breakthroughs, and it doesn't shoot quickly. However, Pierce can use his steps and rhythm to find a gap in his shooting, and then steadily send the basketball into other people's baskets.

For other teams, Pierce is the most difficult guy to defend. Sometimes you don’t even feel anything, and he already scores. This ability to use footsteps and rhythms is superb, and his back-to-back singles are no less than some super insiders.

Now for the Celtics, Pierce has fewer opportunities to attack from behind, but his grasp of rhythm is still top-notch.

When Li Feng came out to defend, he was a little bit wrong and the basketball didn't defend at all.

It can be seen that Mr. Truth's true offensive power!

When the Celtics came in the first round, three players from the outside came into contact with the basketball one by one, and then immediately completed the attack effectively, which looked simple and free.

The Celtics scored smoothly and the Knicks wanted a good start, but after the Knicks reached halftime, they played a little chaotic. It was not that the Knicks' tactics were not good.

But now the opponent of every player of the Knicks is better than themselves, so many things that can be easily done in a few days cannot be done. If the Knicks are just a player, it will not affect the overall situation, but the current situation is that all the Knicks players are like this.

In this way, the Knicks' tactics have problems. They cannot execute tactics at halftime, and the fight is a bit messy.

Du Hong could only send basketball directly to Harden at the bottom line, and Harden was slightly away from the entire team when he attacked.

Du Hong's pass choice was not wrong, but when facing Pierce, Harden suffered a little loss in the confrontation, and turned around and shot, but it was very unreliable to hit the rebound.

The Knicks' first round offense was unsuccessful.

Garnett turned around and got the rebound, then passed the ball immediately.

Rondo had already reached the mid-line at this time, and there were even faster ones. Pierce had actually penetrated the Knicks' low post.

At this time, Barkley, who broadcast today's game, screamed in surprise on the sidelines:

"Today it's unusual for the Celtics! Their pace is faster than before, and they seem to have slightly changed their playing style."

When Barkley was yelling like this, he saw Rondo pulling a pick-and-roll with Garnett at the top of the arc, slightly horizontally.

With the help of Garnett's huge butt, Rondo suddenly got an excellent passing angle and quickly sent the basketball towards Allen.

Allen was very stung with the ball, and Thornton was really working hard on defense today.

But the Celtics are a team that emphasizes teamwork. When Ray Allen encountered a little trouble, Garnett, who was outside, immediately twisted his butt and twisted to Allen's side.

With cover, Ray Allen quickly broke through two steps toward the basket, and suddenly formed a small and big one. This was an opportunity.

Ray Allen is only called the best shooter now, largely because he is a shooter who can attack without relying on his teammates. He has many functions. Even if he does not have the support of his teammates, he can complete the task by fighting alone.

With such an opportunity, Allen took a step back to the side with a huge stride, and then started with a jump shot.

This ability to adapt to Harrington, who was defending in a position, was very uncomfortable. He was a big man and didn't make such a quick step.

He could only watch Allen take a step back and then jump shot directly. Harrington couldn't even rush up to defend, and Allen's move was too fast.

Another 2-pointer, the Knicks were easily scored by the Celtics at the beginning of the game.

This made D'Antoni feel very depressed. The Celtics' offense suddenly reached a higher level. The Celtics' attack was not at a disadvantage by attacking each other!

D'Antoni was a little anxious. The game was now beyond expectations and he had no idea what to use to stop the Celtics.

This is one of D'Antoni's limitations. When his running and bombing tactical firepower is comparable to that of the opponent, he is powerless. As long as the opponent can strengthen the defense while maintaining the offense, the team can only leave it to fate. (To be continued...^-^^-^-^
