NBA: No. 1 Forward

【NBA: No. 1 Forward】【】

In the second quarter of the game, Doug Collins still did not give up. He did not replace the starters and still wanted to use the starters to play the Knicks off the bench. D'Antoni could also guess that the 76ers would do this, so he turned his attention to Lian Dao. In the second quarter, Lian Dao led the substitute to reappear on the field. To be honest, as long as the Knicks have Lian Dao on the bench, they will not lose even if they face the main force of the 76ers. And the situation is indeed the case. At the beginning of the second quarter, the Knicks' bench lineup followed the fierceness of the main lineup on the defensive end. The 76ers' offense still couldn't find the center of gravity and was a mess. The worst one is Louis Williams. In the first quarter, he was strictly guarded by Holiday. In the second quarter, he thought Danny Green was easy to bully, but when he was shooting, he was directly taken by Green. down. In the second quarter, D'Antoni put up two shooting guards on the field, Danny Green and Wilson Chandler, and Lian Dao served as the point forward. Today's Knicks not only played well with the main force, but Danny Green scored a three-pointer as soon as the second quarter came up, and the entire 76ers and the entire main lineup could not suppress the performance of the Knicks. After halftime, the score became 34:58. Seeing the performance of the Knicks in the first half, New York fans knew that today was stable. During the halftime break, the Knicks players seemed to have won the game, almost celebrating in advance. Lian Dao didn't bother his teammates' celebration either. Now that they have a big lead and the opponent is the 76ers, there is no need for him to stand up and remind everyone "don't underestimate the enemy" or "don't be careless" to spoil everyone's fun. As long as Lian Dao doesn't make such a mistake in the second half, the game will basically be stable. At the same time, as long as the team leader's style of play does not fluctuate, basically the players' style of play will not fluctuate. This was indeed the case at the beginning of the second half. Lian Dao first used a breakthrough layup to kick off the second half. At this time, the players who were carnival during the halftime break immediately entered the game state and still maintained the offensive and defensive efficiency of the first half. Not long after, although Louis Williams and "Captain" Elton Brand jointly played a 9:4 counterattack, they also successfully narrowed the point difference to about 15 points. But they were still unable to restrain Lian Dao. Lian Dao used Stoudemire and Cousins ​​to hit outside three-pointers in pick-and-rolls one after another, and once again extended the lead to 25 points. It's not that Doug Collins has never tried double-teaming. He tried it in the first quarter, but as long as the 76ers double-teamed, Lian Dao passed the ball, and other Knicks players also played very well. Therefore, although the 76ers have regained their form, they have not been able to reduce the score, and the point difference has remained above 25 points. Before the end of the third quarter, the Knicks made the final attack. Lian Dao broke through the inside line after a pick-and-roll by Stoudemire. After attracting double-teams, he broke through and scored. The 76ers did not score the last attack in the third quarter. At the end of the three quarters, the score was finally fixed at 56:87. After the three quarters, the 76ers trailed by 31 points. For the current 76ers lineup, the defeat is basically set, and they are powerless. In the fourth quarter, Doug Collins looked at the players on the bench and sighed helplessly. Although he was a grumpy head coach, he didn't want to get angry at these young people. The overall gap is not a crime of war! After that, the two sides replaced their substitute players as usual, and the game ended with a final score of 87:106. The Knicks defeated their opponents without bloodshed at home. "The Knicks played very easily in this game as a whole. They have been suppressing the 76ers from the beginning of the game. Doug Collins's idea of ​​​​wanting Andre Inguodala to limit sickle is shattered. The next step is against the 76ers. If they still can't find a way to limit sickle, it is very likely that they will be swept out by the Knicks in the first round!" Barkley predicted to his old club without hesitation. "That's right. If you want to limit the Knicks, you must first find a way to deal with Sickle. This game Sickle is still the best player in the game, with 40 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks. The first game of the playoffs Just get a triple-double." Kenny Smith went through the data of Lian Dao's game and added. After the game, Lian Dao, who won the all-round data, became a favorite in the eyes of reporters. Although Lian Dao already received a lot of attention in the regular season, the playoffs directly increased this attention. The playoffs are a stage of fame, it is like the "March Madness" of the ncaa, which can make players famous overnight, now there are only 4 games a day in the East and West combined, anyone can imagine all the media surrounding these four teams The feeling of being around the team. Why four teams, because the spotlight only shines on the winner's head. "The 76ers are not weak, they just lose because they don't have playoff experience. I can see that they haven't figured out how to play this kind of game. Pay the tuition fee." Lian Dao didn't belittle his opponent because of winning, that's a sign of low EQ, and belittling his opponent will only make the victory less valuable. On the contrary, only by raising the opponent appropriately can one's own strength be more powerful. But there are always people who are missing a string in their brains. "We played very easily, which is no different from the regular season. Yes, although I played the playoffs for the first time, it's nothing!" Cousins, who was simple-minded, was told the truth by the media in a few words. Lian Dao was rubbing his temples with some headaches. Cousins ​​was not only irritable, but also had a big mouth. He was childish at best, but immature at worst, with a weak brain and low EQ. Lian Dao try to stay away from this guy, some people may be born to bring hatred, like Cousins, if you get too close, be careful not to bleed your face when he is killed. Lian Dao could think of the news topic of the media the next day. "The 76ers didn't put any pressure on the Knicks!" "The Knicks center thinks the 76ers are weak!" His face was livid during the interview. Sure enough, just now, Cousins' speech was passed by the reporter to the 76ers' post-match interview, and Doug Collins and Inguodala on the stage were livid. "We just lost the first game, we are not out yet, the Knicks rookie will pay the price for his arrogance, Also, Sickle led the team to win this game, Rather than a so-called rookie who only scored 8 points." Yin Guodala replied directly at the post-match press conference, and the journalists on the scene burst into smiles. What they like to see most is contradictions. With more subjects, the things written will be more interesting. In fact, Yinguodala, who is a representative of emotional intelligence, rarely loses his temper. It seems that this time he was really disgusted by Cousins. However, the grumpy Doug Collins didn't speak out directly when asked for his opinion on the game. Doug Collins looked helpless. "I have no opinion on this game. We lost this game. I don't want to discuss this matter. This is history!" "We will adjust in time. I think we will win the next game after adjusting our state." The game!" "You said Andre? Oh, he is very good. Although he did not limit the No. 1 on the opposite side today, I still believe that he is the best defender. I believe that Andre will give everyone a Surprise!" Although Doug Collins did not get angry at the media, it can be seen from the tone of his mouth that he was also very angry with Cousins' speech, and at the same time he was ready to fight the Knicks to the death . "So what do you think of Sickle's performance in this game?" Finally, the local reporter in New York asked Doug Collins directly. "I can only say that this is the most versatile player after Michael, and also the most difficult player to defend. There are not many super scorers like Sickle in the league." All the reporters on the scene were very surprised They opened their mouths wide, they didn't expect Doug Collins to have such a high opinion of Lian Dao. Is the head coach of the 76ers, Doug Collins, completely overwhelmed by Lian Dao's performance?
