But Lian Dao's words are very harsh, which is not a good sign.
Even if they beat the Heat in the next game, with such a complacent heart, there is a high possibility of overturning in the finals.
Therefore, what Lian Dao said is very important, which is to put an end to this kind of complacency.
Sure enough, when Lian Dao's words came out, Gallinari and some players who were a bit flustered were all terrified.
They all knew that what Lian Dao said was really possible to be put on the bench by the head coach.
They are not afraid of D'Antoni, but of Lian Dao.
Don't look at Lian Dao who is joking and indifferent in his daily life, but once he steps on the court, he will definitely say what he says at the critical moment.
Lian Dao will never forgive anyone who pulls his hips. After all, when the Knicks lost to the Celtics in the regular season, Lian Dao's death stare is still vivid in his mind.
…
Finally, under the eyes of everyone, on May 26, 2011, at the beginning of this hot summer, the fifth game of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Knicks and the Heat officially started at Madison Square Garden.
Today, when the reporter saw James and Wade again, the two of them were no longer depressed after losing the last game.
The Big Three of the Heat have piercing eyes, high spirits, and high morale, as if the Knicks are not the Heat but the Knicks who are on the verge of danger.
"We are not completely out yet, we still have a chance, this is a four-win game, we will work hard to win G5 at the Madison Garden Arena, the Miami Heat will never go out, we will never admit defeat!"
When interviewed by reporters, James' attitude was still very tough.
This is similar to what Lian Dao expected. Although the last game dealt a huge blow to the momentum of the Heat, as veterans in the league, they will soon use these two days to digest and adjust.
The Big Three of the Heat are not the Young Guards, they have no lack of game experience.
The reason why they lost at the end of the last game was that they couldn't accept the result for a while, but now that they have adjusted, they will do their best to win this game.
During the news interview, the reporters thought that the Big Three of the Heat were dead ducks, and they were just stubborn in the end.
But entering the first round of the game, the Heat showed their determination to fight back to the death.
This group of guys, like the Knicks, are unbeatable Xiaoqiang. They really want to shatter the Knicks' dream of solving the battle in five games.
At the beginning of the game, Dragon King Chris Bosh made a long two-pointer!
Dragon King Bosh likes to float and shoot. His mid-range shooting percentage is still quite good, and his two-point shooting percentage is around 50% this season.
That's not bad for a player who often uses post-ups and turnaround jumpers, as well as high-post jumpers after using teammates to screen or pick and roll with teammates.
Bosh's two points in the opening game boosted the morale of the Heat.
Subsequently, James and Wade made successful shots respectively. The Knicks returned to the home court and even let the Heat play a 6:0.
"Is it possible that the Heat really want to complete their revenge at the Knicks' home court? The Knicks' Eastern Conference champion is already a boiled duck, so they can't fly away because of carelessness!"
Mr. Zhang Lili was sweating for the Knicks' opening in the CCTV live broadcast room. He seemed to be more anxious than the Knicks players.
What Lian Dao was most worried about happened. I thought that the previous reminder changed their complacent thoughts, but I didn't expect this group of guys to go in the left ear and out the right ear, so they didn't take it to heart at all.
So during the timeout, Lian Dao directly took over D'Antoni's role.
"The Eastern Conference championship trophy has been shipped to Madison Square Garden, and it is there. The league has prepared the trophy for us, and all the fans on the scene are waiting and hoping that we can complete the trophy at home. Did you fail their expectant eyes?"
Lian Dao pointed at the players' aisle and shouted in the direction of the fans. At this time, the Knicks players need to be stimulated to awaken their dormant fighting spirit.
Obviously, Lian Dao's roar is more effective than D'Antoni's tactics. Now the Knicks players count as one, all gnashing their teeth, and their morale has been raised.
The two teams followed the most efficient scoring method before, so there were basically no individual singles. Not only did Lian Dao often call for pick-and-rolls, but the Heat's offense was also the same. attack.
The Knicks, who came back to their senses, finally played a multi-point performance again. Finally, before the end of the first quarter, the Knicks evened the score on the court.
In the second quarter, the Knicks, who replaced the rotation, continued to heat up. Their rotation should have been stronger than the Heat.
Especially at the beginning of the second quarter, Lian Dao came to the third position and passed the ball twice to Millsap who opened up space from the outside. Millsap lived up to expectations and hit two consecutive three-pointers.
This made James, who wanted to double-team Lian Dao, be afraid.
On the defensive end, Millsap's defensive ability is better than Stoudemire's. At least James' two offenses were defeated by Millsap's defense.
In the second quarter, Lian Dao, who returned to the third position, could not be blocked by Mike Miller alone. After several consecutive attacks, Lian Dao scored easily.
Coach Erik Spoelstra could only put James back at the three, replacing Mike Miller and Haslem at the four.
Although Erik Spoelstra adjusted the lineup in time, the offensive rhythm on the court was firmly in the hands of the Knicks.
Moreover, the scoring of the Heat's second team appeared to be out of gear.
James felt cold in the second quarter, Haslem was no longer as brave as before, and James Jones was also at a loss by Tony Allen's death-wound defense.
At the end of the half game, the point difference became 7 points.
The Miami Heat are now one foot away from the cliff.
In the third quarter, a small episode happened on the court.
When James was dunking, I don't know if it was because he was unwilling to fail. James rushed to the basket, faced Stoudemire's supplementary defense, took off without hesitation, and completed a rough dunk across Stoudemire.
This directly knocked Stoudemire out of the bottom line!
I thought it was just a dunk, but Stoudemire fell to the ground and didn't get up immediately.
And the grumpy Cousins didn't care about anything at this time, so he immediately yelled at James.
Since Stoudemire didn't get up immediately, the confrontation between Cousins and James continued to heat up.
Under such circumstances, the referee paused to replay the slow motion of James' dunk just now.
James' dunk was fairly clean, but James slightly bent his knee and touched Stoudemire's thigh during the dunk, causing Stoudemire to fail to stand firmly after landing.
With the support of Lian Dao and Cousins, Stoudemire limped towards the court. The team doctor looked at it and said it was only a slight sprain.

This news also let the Knicks collectively breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there are no major injuries. If Stoudemire suffers a major injury at this time, even if they beat the Heat in this game, the Knicks will play even more difficult in the finals.
Even so, the Knicks did not choose to let Stoudemire take the risk.
In the end ~www.mtlnovel.com~ replaced Stoudemire with Millsap, and Millsap performed well in the second quarter, even against Haslem.
Millsap's performance this season is not bad. Although he is on the bench, he can score 14.5 points per game. That is only compared with Stoudemire.
But Millsap's defensive ability is better than Stoudemire's, and the reason why the Knicks were able to fight the Celtics to the tiebreaker last season in the Eastern Conference Finals last season, Millsap definitely contributed to it.
In the following games, Stoudemire did not play again, but under the leadership of Lian Dao, the Knicks still maintained a strong offense.
With 4 minutes and 18 seconds left in the third quarter, Millsap and Cousins double-teamed Bosh. Bosh then passed the ball to Haslem. Haslem's mid-range shot was interfered by Lian Dao's defense. Taken by Cousins.
The Knicks launched a fast break. After receiving a pass from Holiday, Lian Dao aggressively rushed to the basket to complete a dunk against Haslem's supplementary defense.
