At the end of the half, Lin Yi, who had already picked out the passing button tonight, made 24 crazy shots, hit 10 shots, plus free throws and three-pointers, Lin Yi scored 27 points after the half.

After halftime, Celtics coach Rivers already knew what the Knicks wanted to do tonight, but Rivers didn't dare to make substitutions, because Garnett could prevent Lin Yi's shooting rate from 41.6%, and at this critical moment, Rivers was only willing to believe in the main force.

And if someone else comes up, Rivers is afraid of affecting the Celtics' defensive system.

Tonight, the Celtics used Tony Allen, Rasheed Wallace and Glen Davis as three substitutes, Garnett only rested for two minutes in the first half, and Da Harder felt that his hands and legs were soft at halftime, and even the strength to beat his chest was almost gone.

Garnett's 34th birthday will be in a few days, and with the intensity of today's first half, if he continues to play, Garnett may not even be able to move for a while.

But the trusting eyes of his teammates, and what Rivers said to him at halftime: "Kevin, we need you!" ”

Garnett feels like he can fight for another 500 years!

Iron and blood is his label, and he doesn't want to lose to the Knicks' brutal Chinese man.

Pierce's form has also been problematic, in the first half Pierce has been sideways and back-to-body singles, Pierce successfully lost weight in the summer, but it can't stand him 32 years old, "your uncle" shot 1-of-5 in the second quarter is the negative impact of the decline in fitness.

The Knicks are playing intensity with the Celtics today, you are harder and I am harder, running desperately with this bunch of veterans, constantly torturing the knees of this group of masters.

In fact, Lin Yi feels that it is unwise for Rivers to be so conservative, because if the Celtics don't let the main team rest, they will keep going on so hard, even if they can hold on to the victory tonight, but what about the next game and the next game?

Although Lin Yi is also gritting his teeth, he is young!

His physical recovery must be faster than these old men, and as a loyal "Komi", Lin Yi played very well tonight, this kind of pleasure of picking off the passing button, you just don't know how cool it is!

Knicks coach D'Antoni knows that the Knicks will definitely have a chance to kill the Celtics if they continue to play like this, so when Lin Yi plays more, he will let other players rotate more, so that when Lin Yi goes down to rest, even if the Celtics lineup is superior, the Knicks can rely on running to stalemate with the Celtics.

……

In the second half, the tension filled the entire TD North Shore Garden Arena.

Celtics fans supported the home team with their cheers, while Knicks fans and "Lin Mi" in front of the TV folded their hands and prayed that Lin Yi could continue to play in the first half.

This game evoked the memories of many old fans, wasn't Iverson just like that when he led the Philadelphia 76ers team to win the Lakers?

Before the game, many Lin Hei said that the Knicks were a pseudo-strong team and that Lin Yi was a pseudo-supergiant, but Lin Yi's performance tonight made them feel sorry again.

In fact, Lin Yi himself also thinks it is very strange, obviously his way of playing with the passing button off is very unreasonable, but the fans think he is a hero, obviously he can only drive his teammates by installing the passing button, but people think he is not domineering enough......

But don't look at Lin Yi picking off the pass button tonight, in fact, he is also driving his teammates, because in the third quarter, according to the Knicks' plan, Lin Yi will only play half a quarter, and then people will be able to know how fierce the other Knicks players who have been recuperating for a long time are.

Tactics are games, and the same is true in employing people.

It's a pity that his basic level is still lower, otherwise Lin Yi believes that he will definitely make the aging Garnett feel what real horror is.

It's a pity that Lin Yi didn't know that his talent alone had already made this aging Celtic team a little intimidating.

Rivers even feels that if James stays with the Cavaliers in the summer, the Knicks will be more difficult to deal with in the future than the Cavaliers.

Rivers plans to wait for the summer to discuss with Angie, and he must find one or two fast-moving interior players as much as possible, otherwise it will be difficult for the Celtics to beat this Knicks by waiting for Lin Yi to evolve for another year or two.

……

In the third quarter of the game, Lin Yi made 8 more shots and hit 3 goals in the first six minutes, and the total number of shots he made when he went down to rest had reached 32, and now no one takes Lin Yi's 50 shots before the game as a joke.

Lin Yi went down to rest, and Rivers also hurriedly asked the Wolf King to go down to recover his blood, but Rivers didn't expect that his hesitant substitution indirectly assisted the Knicks again.

Garnett went down to rest, the Knicks used the chopping tactic, and Rivers had no choice but to replace Perkins, so that the Celtics' interior line was completely unguarded.

The Knicks, who have been recuperating for a long time, began to take turns to transform into explosives, with three-pointers, transitions, fast breaks, and strong bursts.

Losing the barrier of the inside line, no matter how good the Celtics are defended on the outside, it is useless, if it weren't for Ray Allen's continuous three-point Celtics to continue their lives, these old men may have been spent.

Rivers' rush was also reflected in the fact that he switched back to Garnett with three minutes left in the third quarter, and under a wave of chicken soup for the soul, the big wolf king, who was obviously tired and trembling legs, showed his iron-blooded side when he returned to the court: he was hit by the Knicks' super sixth man, Louis Williams, in a series of strong slams in front of him......

No matter how fierce Garnett is, it is useless to roar through his throat, and the decline in physical fitness cannot change the fact that his defensive speed has decreased.

The Knicks dominated the third quarter, and they held a lead of around five to eight points.

In the last 2 minutes of the third quarter, Pierce reappeared as a leader, and Pierce's singles ability when he was young was also good, but after experiencing the return of the king, Pierce completed the real transformation, the NBA is like this, some people get older and more demonic, and some people are at the peak of their debut, and they soon disappear from the crowd.

Pierce scored five straight points for the Celtics on a late shot, and at the end of the third quarter, the Knicks led the Celtics 78-76 into the fourth quarter.

At this time, fans who watched the first round of the game between the two sides couldn't believe that the Knicks could play so hard.

Barkley complained during the three-quarter break: "The Knicks are really a team that is hard for you to understand, can you imagine them fighting the Celtics for the bayonets?" ”

Kenny Smith chimed in: "Whenever the Knicks have a heavy loss, people always feel like the Knicks are just that, but every time they can play back and forth with a strong team, you always have the illusion that they're a championship-caliber team." ”

……

In the fourth quarter of the game, Lin Yi put on the game again, and the rest in the third quarter relieved his body's fatigue to a great extent, Rivers originally wanted to arrange Garnett to rest for a while in the fourth quarter, but when he saw Lin Yi playing, Rivers could only turn his head and say to Garnett: "Kevin! Whether we can win tonight or not is up to you! ”

I have to say that this kind of trust Garnett is very useful, so Garnett, who was still being massaged by the team doctor, directly tore off the ice packs on his legs, stood up and slapped his chest three times in a row: "We are Celtics, this is our territory!" ”

The Celtics players are about to tears, this Celtics team has encountered a lot of desperate situations of life and death, they just formed a team, in the first and second rounds of the Eastern Conference playoffs with opponents to tie seven, if it weren't for the love of basketball to the point of madness, these old guys would have broken up a long time ago.

Lin Yi is also full of emotion, he also has a crazy love for basketball, so he complains and complains, chicken soup for the soul is still somewhat useful in this desperate moment.

Rivers has already decided, wait until the next game, when Lin Yi rests, he will arrange Garnett to rest, tonight he was inexplicably beaten by the Knicks' inexplicable rotation, the Celtics' own advantages did not play out, but the whole court has been dragged and consumed by the Knicks.

Pierce also played at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Ray Allen didn't stop, and Rondo took the initiative to ask for help.

Rivers brought the players together: "Basketball is our life!" Look at our heads, that's seventeen championship flags! It's always hard to become a champion, but as long as we get past the hurdles, we'll be able to move forward! ”

After Rivers' chicken soup for the soul, the break time has also arrived.

On the Knicks' side, D'Antoni explained the tactics in detail, and D'Antoni was not afraid that the players would not be able to remember, because Lin Yi could remember it.

Lin Yi smiled and patted D'Antoni on the shoulder, "Mr. coach, aren't you going to say a few words to boost everyone's morale?" ”

D'Antoni smiled awkwardly, "You know, I'm not very good at saying those things. ”

The corners of Lin Yi's mouth raised slightly: "Then let me say a few words!" Guys, it's nothing, look, those old guys can't run anymore, so we'll win by running them to the point of exhaustion now! ”

Gallinari suddenly realized, "Sure enough, being single can make people energetic!" ”

Lin Yi: "......"

The liver hurts so much, and the atmosphere that has finally become rigorous has been destroyed by the Gallinari second goods.

If it weren't for the fact that the referee was already urging him to play, Lin Yi really wanted to give Gallinari a super-large jade spiral pill and send him directly to heaven, because the earthlings couldn't stop Gallinari's death.
