In the game against the Celtics, Lian Dao saw the Celtics' team offense.
The Celtics' positional warfare is very particular about pass and cut cooperation, less confrontation and more air cuts, emphasizing opportunities, reducing strong attacks, and paying great attention to the fluency of the ball.
Moreover, there are not many tasks for each person, the key lies in the cooperation of each link and the grasp of timing.
And tonight, with the blessing of this ultimate team basketball, the Celtics pushed the Knicks into a desperate situation!
Throughout the game, the Celtics made people unable to find their defensive focus.
The Knicks' defense has actually been done very well, but no matter how good the defense is, it is impossible to be perfect every time.
But for the Celtics in this game, imperfect defense is an opportunity!
The Celtics can always find scoring opportunities through smooth conduction and active running.
Block Pierce? Then find Ray Allen! Block Rajon Rondo? Then find Garnett...
Everyone knows when and where teammates should appear. Everyone knows that there is no chance for air cuts at this level, and how to cooperate with the running position at the next level.
The tacit understanding formed by the Celtics is definitely not something that can be formed in just a day or two. It is the result of their hard work in the past few years.
Fortunately, the Knicks' offense is doing well.
Jeremy Lin is in a very hot state today, and he scored more points than Lian Dao.
Lian Dao is mainly "specially taken care of" by Paul Pierce and Garnett, and from time to time there is a Brandon Bass to fill in. Under the care of the three of them, Lian Dao has few chances to score.
The most important thing is that his touch is not as hot as it was against the Heat.
But Jeremy Lin, who came off the bench in the first quarter, carried the banner of scoring and led the Knicks and Celtics to the end.
At the beginning, Lian Dao was full of confidence in this game.
It is really that the Celtics left some stereotypes on Lian Dao last season.
He thought that today, as usual, he would win the victory without any risk.
But the game has been played until the last 11 seconds, and the winner has not yet been decided.
In the last 11 seconds, Jeremy Lin made a layup to help the team equalize.
In the last 11 seconds, the ball belonged to the Celtics. The Knicks must defend successfully to ensure that the game will be dragged into overtime, and they will have a chance to turn defeat into victory.
Rivers called a timeout in the last 11 seconds. No one knows what Rivers' final tactic is, because whether it is a three-pointer or a two-pointer, as long as they score, they will basically take the game away.
Moreover, in this game, the Celtics have no offensive core at all, and everyone in the team's offense is like an important part of a precision machine.
Everyone plays their role in the team, and the Celtics' starting five, everyone has the ability to score.
Lian Dao was not even surprised at the end when Rajon Rondo was the final point.
Therefore, the Knicks must do unlimited defenses and not give them any chance.
"No matter how they pick and roll, how they move, you must complete the defense in the first time! Remember, you must be quick, don't miss people, and don't give the Celtics the slightest chance to make easy shots! The success or failure of this game depends on it In one fell swoop!"
D'Antoni roared and slapped the tactical board hard.
The North Shore Garden was filled with Boston fans cheering for the Celtics and abusing Knicks players.
If a player with poor psychological quality will really feel timid at this moment, the devil's home game is well-deserved!
Most of the Knicks, though, have been through so many of these moments that they've become immune.
However, Jeremy Lin just joined the Knicks this season after all, and he lacks experience in major competitions. This is the first time he has played such a long time.
Jeremy Lin's defense was not very good. Although he was a hero in this game, in the end, D'Antoni still chose to replace him and replaced him with Tony Allen.
"Don't get lost, you've done well enough, leave it to us!"
Lian Dao patted Jeremy Lin on the shoulder and comforted him.
Jeremy Lin gave a wry smile when he heard Lian Dao's words, he knew his flaws.
It's just that this incident also touched him deeply. He hated the feeling of being distrusted at critical moments, which made him even more crazy in training afterwards. Called internally.
Pause time is over quickly, the last 11 seconds!
In 11 seconds, the Celtics' running and passing were still orderly.
Ray Allen ran without the ball in the complex and irregular screen, and Tony Allen followed closely, not daring to relax his vigilance, but the screen of his teammates still gave him a chance.
Rajon Rondo broke through and scored the ball to Ray Allen. Seeing that Ray Allen was about to raise his hand to shoot, Holiday hurriedly defended.
However, it was just a feint from Ray Allen before sending the ball to Rajon Rondo who cut inside.
In the last three seconds, Rajon Rondo jumped up and dunked.
The Celtics fans at the scene had already got up and wanted to cheer, but then a blue figure rushed into the basket, making the fans cover their faces and exclaim.
The No. 1 jersey number, which is particularly dazzling at this moment, is Lian Dao!
The moment Ray Allen passed the ball, Lian Dao chose to supplement the defense.
It's possible that other people didn't notice Rondo, but Lian Dao did. The most unlikely one may be the one that threatens the most!
Rondo's scoring ability has never been a strong point, which will lead some people to subconsciously ignore that he will become the final point.

However, Lian Dao didn't ignore it. His wide field of vision was always watching Celtic's every move.
At this time, Rondo also found Lian Dao, who came up to defend, but now he has no choice but to attack.
In order to avoid interference as much as possible, the dunk can only be changed into a throw, but then!
"Snapped!"
Lian Dao slapped the basketball on the backboard, accepted the rebound, and immediately applied for a timeout before the Celtics surrounded him.
1.8 seconds.
The North Shore Garden Arena lost their voice in an instant, and the fans held their heads in their hands in disbelief, with painful expressions on their faces.
Is it going to overtime?
Was it eventually dragged into overtime by the Knicks?
All Celtics fans know that once the game is dragged into overtime, it will be very unfavorable for the Celtics.
The main reason is that the average age of their team is too large.
So far in the game, the physical strength of the Celtics' Big Three has already bottomed out. The reason why Rajon Rondo was chosen as the final point is actually because Rajon Rondo is younger and has more physical strength.
But in the end, it was destroyed by Lian Dao!
With 1.8 seconds left, everyone felt that the game should be dragged into overtime.
Even D'Antoni thinks so, but Lian Dao doesn't think so.
Lian Dao is not worried about playing overtime, but of course it would be best not to play overtime.
The purpose of Lian Dao calling a timeout is that he wants to use the 1.8 seconds to try to complete the final attack.
But he needs his teammates to cover.
After listening to Lian Dao's opinion, D'Antoni nodded in agreement. Anyway, 1.8 seconds, the worst result is overtime.
D'Antoni put all the shooters on the court, including Jeremy Lin who played well today.
The lineup sent by the Knicks is Jeremy Lin, Danny Green, Lian Dao, Millsap, Cousins.
The Celtics are still with the previous lineup~www.mtlnovel.com~ They have already been ready for battle.
For the Knicks, Cousins is in charge of serving. Jeremy Lin and the Knicks teammates are running, but all the running is for Lian Dao to cover.
Although the Celtics don't think that the Knicks can kill themselves in 1.8 seconds, but the rigor of the veteran dynasty team makes them still want to cut off all possibilities.
Because of this, the defense that Lian Dao encountered at the critical moment became more and more tight.
This time, not only was Paul Pierce constantly engaging in physical confrontation with Lian Dao, Garnett also blocked Lian Dao's receiving route at any time. The Celtics didn't want Lian Dao to touch the basketball at all.
Lian Dao tried his best to get rid of it, but Pierce's defense was not bad, especially in the end, he was like a dog's skin plaster, sticking to Lian Dao and not letting go.
With Lian Dao surrounded by layers, Cousins could only serve the ball to Jeremy Lin, who was in the hottest state of the game.
