, the fastest update NBA: thetest chapter of the No. 1 forward!


    After Pierce scored, he also looked at Lian Dao, and Lian Dao knew what it meant.


    However, Lian Dao did not forcefully find his way back.


    Break through Pierce, attract Jeff Green to double-team, and pass the ball to the open Stoudemire.


    Cousins ??put Gat high and Stoudemire scored an easyyup.


    Afterwards, during the Celtics'' offense, Pierce''s shot was interfered by Lian Dao and missed, and the rebound was epted by Stoudemire.


    Then it was passed to Lian Dao, Lian Dao continued to do the same, and Stoudemire easily scored again.


    This time, Rivers was a little anxious.


    "Kevin, guard the basket!"


    Gat nodded. Without him in the paint, the Celtics'' ability to protect the frame dropped by a notch.


    But then Cousins ??received a pass from Stoudemire in the high position, and after hitting two mid-range shots in a row, Rivers had to call a timeout.


    Their tactics have been cracked by the Knicks.


    But because Jeff Green and Paul Pierce double-teamed Lian Dao in the first quarter, Rivers wanted to try this lineup again.


    But what brought the Celtics next was the entire second quarter. Stoudemire scored 14 points and Cousins ??also scored 8 points.


    Halftime ends, Knicks 56:50.


    Leading the Celtics by 6 points ended the first half.


    "The Knicks found a way to target the Celtics very quickly. They underestimated Sickle''s passing ability, and at the same time underestimated the strength of other Knicks yers."


    "Although the height of the Knicks inside is not enough, the strength of the yers is very good, especially their inside lineup is very strong, Amare, DeMarcus, Millsap, David Lee, Rasheed Wace !"


    "This lineup ensures that the Knicks can have a healthy and reasonable rotation. Inparison, the Celtics'' internal rotation is rtively poor..."


    During the intermission, Kenny Smith and Barkley analyzed the field situation in the first half.


    In the second half, Rivers finally took Jeff Green off the court and reced him with the previous starting lineup.


    Originally thought that the Celtics would gradually lose like thest game, but Lian Dao underestimated this group of veterans.


    When Ray Allen was restricted by Tony Allen''s death entanglement, and when Gat was strictly guarded by Stoudemire inside, Paul Pierce, one of the Big Three, finally stood up.


    Lian Dao''s defense did not have any problems, but Pierce''s mid-range shot in the third quarter was really unsolvable.


    Lian Dao sealed his hands on Pierce''s face, and Pierce''s shooting posture was deformed, but he was still able to throw this fairy ball.


    Facing Pierce who has entered the state, Lian Dao can only be stronger than him on the offensive end.


    Stoudemire''s high pick-and-roll, after Lian Dao got rid of Pierce, hit a super long three-pointer; elerated to break through the defense, went inside and double-teamed Pierce and Gat and scored a fadeaway jumper; yed Pierce with his back, turned around and went to the basket , in Gat and Jermaine O''Neal''s supplementary defense, the ultimate tie rod scored...


    The entire third quarter became a duel between Lian Dao and Pierce at the third position.


    This kind of confrontationsted until thest five minutes of the fourth quarter. When Pierce used Gat to pick and roll and hit a three-pointer from the outside to let the Celtics tie the score again, D''Antoni called a timeout. He didn''t want to fight like this again. The Celtics entangled.


    "Beautiful three-pointer, Paul''s game is really a dream to return to the peak, starting from the second half, Paul''s performance on the offensive end is too perfect."


    "He deserves to be called an offensive kaleidoscope. He is technically impable. The most important thing is that Paul''s shot selection is very smart, and he always seeks the best shot point in the rhythm."


    "The Celtics gave me too many surprises in this game. From Jeff Green and Gat in the first half to Paul Pierce in the second half, the Celtics showed tactical quality and game status. All the best games since the yoffs!"


    Although Kenny Smith is also inclined to the Knicks in his heart, he must admit that he is really fancied by the performance of the Celtics today.


    During the timeout, the camera showed Lian Dao and Pierce a sub-shot.


    And a dataparison is made below.


    Lian Dao currently has 30 points, 8 rebounds and 13 assists, and Pierce has 34 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists.


    From the overall data, Lian Dao is better, but if you only look at the data in the second half, Pierce is actually better.


    Even Lian Dao had to admit that in the second half, he did not restrain the explosive Pierce.


    Lian Dao was also very unwilling. When he thought that he would be suppressed by a 33-year-old guy who was at the end of his career, Lian Dao would feel extremely unwilling.


    "In thest five minutes, we must ensure the offensive efficiency! Sickle, now focus on you, Amare, and DeMarcus will give Sickle more cover! In thest five minutes, everyone must do their final defense!"


    D''Antoni knew that only when Lian Dao, the offensive core, broke out at the critical moment, could he win the game with confidence.


    D''Antoni believes that Lian Dao''s performance at critical moments is notparable to the current Paul Pierce.


    If it was Pierce when he was young, D''Antoni really looked back on Pierce''s persistent explosive power.


    But this is the 33-year-old Pierce, and the Knicks may be in trouble when he is in full swing, but D''Antoni clearly found that after entering the fourth quarter, Pierce''s offensive posture has dropped a lot.


    If it is not a weakening of momentum, it is a physical crisis that leads to a drop in hit rate.


    Either of these two could turn the tide of a game at a critical moment.


    After returning from the timeout, the Celtics reced the entire starting lineup, and Rajon Rondo and O''Neal, who had just gone to rest, had all returned at this time.


    On the Knicks side, they also brought Cousins, Holiday and Tony Allen back to the court.


    Both sides put on a posture of the final battle, and thest five minutes are also the decisive moment!


    Pierce''s ying time in this game is directly off the charts. So far, like Lian Dao, he has not had a minute of rest in the game.


    From the way he was sweating profusely and panting like a cow, you can see how tired this old guy is from ying today.


    Under normal circumstances, Pierce rarely yed more than 35 minutes, after all, he was old.


    Although they are the main force of the Celtics, in order to keep the team healthy, like Gat, Pierce and Ray Allen, their ying time will not exceed 35 minutes in the regr season.


    Even the yoffs are basically kept at about 40 minutes, but today Pierce yed the whole game.


    It is that Lian Dao has felt insufficient physical fitness so far, let alone the 33-year-old Pierce.


    Pierce gasped and walked onto the court.


    Although he was already feeling very tired, the final five minutes was when the oue would be decided, and Pierce would never give up at this time.


    Seeing Lian Dao still running tirelessly, Pierce couldn''t help swallowing.


    What a **** animal, it can still be alive and kicking at this time!


    Pierce struggled to catch up, but was blocked by Stoudemire on the outside.


    Lian Dao immediately received the pass, Pierce struggled to squeeze Stoudemire away, and when Lian Dao was about to make a shot, hepleted the recement.


    But Stoudemire then blocked Pierce again in the second pick-and-roll, and Lian Dao elerated to the basket and threw a shot.


    In the next second, O''Neal quickly caught up.


    But Lian Dao has alreadypleted the shot one step ahead.


    "Sickle scored first, and Gat was blocked by Cousins'' cover. The Knicks currently have a two-point lead. At the critical moment of the game, let us see if the victory can finally dominate the gameLian Dao scored the ball easily, but Pierce was panting from exhaustion.


    Lian Dao''s running position is not too fast, the purpose is to consume Pierce''s physical energy. At the same time, Lian Dao uses the cover of his teammates to minimize the difficulty of breaking through, thereby reducing the consumption of physical energy.


    In the next round, Pierce was pressed by Lian Dao from beyond the three-point line.


    Gat mentioned the high screen, but was immediately squeezed away by Lian Dao and returned to Pierce.


    Several high screens in session were fruitless. Pierce wanted to pass the ball, but found that the rest of the Celtics were stuck tightly, and the Knickspletely cut off his passing route.


    The previous pick-and-roll screens consumed a lot of time, but now that the attack time is approaching, there is no longer any hesitation.


    Helpless, he could only choose singles again.
