To be honest, Carlie Krauss, who was sitting in the 6th row of the audience opposite, was also unhappy. Although the Duke stood up and cheered for the Skywalker-style heavy buckle this time, and she was thrilled from the bottom of her heart, proud to have defended the glory of this arena.

However, she didn't like the next 'bridge', Rihanna actually yelled like a heroine. She is like a princess who has been rescued by warriors, what is this? Hollywood soap operas? Snoopy is my number one.

KK's stomach is flooded with sour water, and at the same time, she feels extreme incomprehension of Miley Sellers and Taylor Swift, who sit next to Rihanna, who are deaf: how can they suddenly endure Rihanna's transgression? Did they really give up on Duke Snoopy?

Carlie Krauss was skeptical, she always felt that things might not be as simple as she thought.

As the game continued on the court, Lagalondo brought the ball to the front court and made a patient and meticulous block with Kevin Garnett, and then handed the ball to Paul Pierce, who was pulled to the top of the arc, and Pierce faced James Johnson's defense, and he used extremely dense feints to try to trick the young rookie away, and then calmly took the shot...... Swish!

The strength of the Celts lies in... They have players in every position who can stand up and score, and at the same time, they're running with the logic of a sophisticated machine!

Yibian fights again.

Stephen Marbury and Dugg played a high-post pick-and-roll double cut, but the basketball was distracted by Garnett's defense as he made a secondary pass from the free throw line. Garnett's defensive coverage was arguably the largest in the league, and the basketball had to be passed from the weak side to the perimeter, and James Johnson received the basketball and shot his shot...... Bang!

The basketball misses the basket.

Dugg's attempt to break into the box and rush for the rebound in the front court was also firmly locked by Garnett, who opened his long arms and almost hugged Dug behind him. There was a big suspicion of a foul in this action, but the referee chose to ignore it.

Perkins rebounded easily in the matchup with Randolph.

Randolph's appetite for rebounds is much lower than that of scoring goals, and it is difficult for him to make an impact on Perkins in hand-to-hand combat under the basket, after all, this is what Perkins has built on in the NBA.

Looking back, Ray Allen once again relied on his amazing counter-running ability, taking advantage of the double cover of Kevin Garnett and Perkins, easily going around the baseline, receiving a pass from Pierce at the top of the arc and shooting arrows in the bottom corner...... Swish!

The basketball was like a missile that hit accurately, and the white waves rolled up, and the fans at Madison Garden couldn't help but sigh for it.

Subsequently, the Knicks passed the basketball to Zach Randolph. Dugg burst into the box like lightning and quickly passed to Randolph after encountering a help defense.

Krandolph isn't a traditional C&S type forward, so he subconsciously pauses when he receives the basketball, and as soon as he pauses, Kevin Garnett swives on him...... Bang!

In the end, he hurriedly shot and hit the iron!

This shot made Jeff Van Gundy on the sidelines frown, muttering in his heart, Randolph is indeed still not suitable for the current Snoopy.

In the absence of a full offensive system in the absence of Dugg, Randolph's style of play is somewhat of a counterbalance to Snoopy's energy. In fact, if David Lee had been on the pitch for the goal just now, he might have scored. Replaced by Stoudemire, it is even a violent dunk that can play the best five goals.

The game continues.

Although the Knicks' lineup is a little weak offensively, it is on par with the Celtics on the defensive end.

So, while everyone knows that the Celtics are superior, the margin hasn't widened overnight. It's a very slow upward spiral.

By the time there were 3 minutes left in the first quarter, it was 19:13. Celtic, who are playing away, lead by six points.

At this point, Doug Rivers asked for a timeout.

Next, he will switch to a rotating lineup.

Kevin Garnett played very well the rest of the night, except for a humiliating dunk from Snoopy in the opening game, putting 100 percent of his energy into both playmaking and defending, although not statistically outstanding. But it is indeed the absolute cornerstone of the Celts.

Now, even the first pouching commentators in basketball know that the Celtics' championship dream is built on Kevin Garnett's fragile knees. Doug Rivers certainly understands this, so despite the significance of the game for Boston, he still replaces Kevin Garnett off the court according to a precise rotation schedule. Replace him with the new joining Roaring Celestial Venerable Rasheed Wallace.

At the same time, Daniels also replaced Ray Allen at the shooting guard position.

The Big Three are now at the end of their careers, and adhering to the rotation pattern is beneficial to the continuation of their professional lives.

The Knicks, on the other hand, have also made changes, with Kirksimridge coming on and pairing with Wesley Matthews, Gallinari, Dugg and Randolph.

Randolph made a promise to the coaching staff and his teammates that if Snoop returned to the No. 4 position, I would be able to destroy the entire Celtics defense with my offense.

Zach Randolph's repeated promises and requests led the coaching staff to agree to his request for a team. He originally wanted James Johnson to be at the No. 3 position, which would make the defense more resilient and he could focus more on scoring. But Dugg didn't say yes, and he insisted that Gallinari be in the lineup. Because he knows the meaning of opening up space, and at the same time, he understands the truth that eggs cannot be put in the same basket.

Although it will give Celtic an opportunity on the flank.

Backbite!

When the whistle blows, the game continues.

After Lagalondo brought the basketball to the frontcourt, he quickly handed it to Paul Pearce.

Pierce didn't tangle with Gallinari at the top of the arc, and as the operator of the Celtics' rotation lineup, he decided to let his teammates in first when his team was ahead. He passed the basketball to Rasheed Wallace.

Wallace quickly turned his back on the basketball, and it was Dugg who defended him.

The height difference between the two is extremely obvious, but Rashid did not take a direct turn-over jumper, but used a back-to-back single very seriously. After a quick inward arch of no progress, he turned around and then made a quick straight-arm shot...... It's his signature move.

And while he was shooting, Dugg was already leaping to his feet, and his bounce was beyond Rasheed Wallace's imagination.

Although it didn't cover the basketball in the end, it more or less affected Wallace's shooting hand...... Bang!

The basketball smashes on top of the hoop.

At this time, Perkins under the basket suddenly squeezed away Randolph, who was stuck in the position, and he actually rushed to the rebound. This annoyed Dugg, but the basketball was closer to him, and he jumped lightly...... Syllable!

Slap the basketball to Kirksin Ridge.

"Card slot! Card slot! ”

On his way back to the defence, Dug stressed this point to Randolph again: "You have to get all the details right before we can win. ”

He hoped that Randolph would understand this. The more you play against strong teams, the better you can do the most basic things well.

Back in the frontcourt, the Boston Celtics made a targeted defense, and they adopted a 212 position, which is their response after watching the Knicks in two games.

It has to be said that this set of defense has played a very strong role against Zach Randolph.

When Dugg received the ball on the left side of the free throw line, he quickly broke through Wallace's defense and quickly encountered the bag, and when he passed the basketball to Randolph. Pierce will help defend as soon as possible...... If Randolph were a decisive player, he could easily pass the basketball to Gallinari, but he is not, and he has the one-on-one heads-up temperament of an old-school player.

Swish!

Although he finally threw the basketball into the basket with a step-back jumper.

But this has moved away from the preset tactics.

As the game progressed, Rashid Wallace began to move away from heads-up and settle at the free-throw line. He's a power forward with range from the three-point line, so Dugg has to go out in his footsteps.

With Rashid pulling Dug's defence high up, Zachrandolph's penalty area defense was a mud mess, plus Gallinari's powerlessness on the flank. Boston's defensive pressure has dropped dramatically, and if it weren't for their poor hands, the margin would have stretched to double digits almost in the blink of an eye.

Bang!

Randolph received a pass from Dugg and singled out Kentrick Perkins for a missed shot.

Bang!

Randolph misses a high-post pick-and-roll jumper.

Syllable!

Randolph received the ball on the weak side and broke through and was directly tackled by Lagalondo.

After Randolph's three consecutive offenses were broken up by the Celtics, there were only 31 seconds left in the first quarter. Boston's lead also extended to nine points.

Paul Pierce received the basket at the top of the three-point arc, and he slowly controlled the basketball, trying to score the ball steadily and extend the margin to double digits.

At this time, Dugg hurriedly ordered Matthews and Gallinari to make a change of defense. Compared to Gallinari, Matthews is a bit tougher defensively.

Time passed by second, and Paul Pierce was not in a hurry.

As the clock ticked down to the seventh, Rashid Wallace suddenly ran outside. When he runs, Dugg can only follow the defense, and he points to Randolph at the position of the basket at the same time, he hopes that Randolph will defend the basket no matter what, even if it is with a fat body.

However...... Randolph still let Dugg down.

As Dugg raced to the free-throw line with Rasheed Wallace, Daniels on the left made a sudden counter-run that made him bypass Gallinari's defense and head straight into the box. The Italian chased after him, and Pierce's basketball quickly hoisted into the box.

It can be said that the Celtics' cooperation is very dangerous.

Even a slightly more defensively normal inside line in the penalty area will destroy this daring air catch.

However, Randolph let everyone down.

He was squeezed behind Perkins in a state of dazed ignorance, and then watched as Daniels soared into the sky and grabbed the basketball in an arc...... Rumble!

Violent buckle happens!

This dunk is very, very demoralizing.

The entire Madison Garden fell silent in an exclamation.

I don't want to see my forbidden area being trampled on by others as a back garden.

At this time, Randolph finally felt the cold eyes from Snoopy. His eyes met, and the hairs all over his body couldn't help but stand up: Snoopy was really angry.

When he realized it.

Duge's roar was already heard in his ears...... RUN-GUN！

Randolph hurried to run forward, but Gallinari drove the ball straight from the baseline to Snoopy, who ran outside the three-point line, Snoopy rushed forward, Lagalondo chased after him, and Pierce followed closely, and when he went deep into the basket, both defenders were dragged in.

At this time, Randolph, who ran to the top of the three-point arc, hurriedly shouted: "Pass!" ”

He wanted to get the last shot of the first quarter.

But...... Shout!

He saw the basketball coming from Snoopy's side, but it flew straight to the bottom corner...... At the same time as his surprise, Gallinari arrived, he received the basketball, and shot directly, as a white forward with the potential of a top shooter, this kind of shooting is as calm as eating and drinking for him!

Swish!

The basketball landed into the net with unmistakable accuracy.

The margin went from 11 points back to single digits.

Lagalondo then used the final three seconds to make a super long-range shot that covered the half court, but the basketball didn't even get a rebound...... Backbite!

The whistle blew and the first quarter of the game ended.

"With the Boston Celtics' high-intensity defense, the Knicks struggled on the offensive end tonight. Zach Randolph even scored just five points, while he took nine shots. If the two sides continue to maintain this rhythm, Boston will seal the victory directly in the second quarter. Earl Johnson said: "The difference in quality between the two sides is so far. And tonight, the Knicks don't have any chance of getting to chance. ”

He meant something by this, but the whole world knew it... The Knicks' path to the playoffs last season was so bizarre that nearly every team against them suffered major injuries. They have almost all of their opponents' injuries all the way to the Finals, which has created many challenges this season and made them public enemies in the East.

"Zachrandolph was still not active enough defensively and was in front of a real strong opponent. His discomfort with Snoopy is evident, and Snoopy now needs an opponent who can finish quickly, and Randolph is not that type of player. He prefers to put down the rhythm and solve the opponents. Kenny Smith analyzed: "The Knicks have now gone into the wrong place. If they continue to use Randolph as their number one mainstay, then Snoopy's offense will be difficult to hone out. And if Snoopy's offense can't be honed, he and Zach Randolph will never be a true inside-outside combination. ”

Kenny Smith's eye is still very sharp. He saw the central contradiction between Dugg and Randolph.

When the topic of discussion enters into a very serious and is about to sublimate. Charles Barkley next to him suddenly said, "Which duchess will Snoopy go to dinner with tonight?" Snoopy is said to have traveled with Britney to Taylor Swift's home on Long Island last night, but he didn't stay overnight. Maybe it's because of tonight's game. You know, Lord Duke has always been a self-disciplined player. But then comes the long Christmas break. With whom will he spend Christmas? ”

"Charles, when they show up at the same time, you should know that they have been eliminated." Earl Johnson is an expert: "When two women are rivals, they don't sit together with a smile on their faces. ”

Her analysis is recognized by the vast majority of people, and that's how it is in life.

……

When the TNT commentary bench thought the game was lackluster and even started discussing the issue of the Duchess Girl's Christmas, Snoopy stood on the bench with a serious face. He told the team: "Next, we can only enter the fast run-and-shoot time. ”

Then, after discussions with Jeff Van Gundy and Herb Williams, he made a decision: Milicic, David Lee, Gallinari, Wesley Matthews to play with Dug.

This means that Dugg is back in the No. 1 position.

Zach Randolph was a little uncomfortable about it, but he didn't make as much noise as he used to. He also knew that he played a terrible first quarter tonight, and even made a fatal mistake on defense in the final moments.

"Zach, you have to understand, you're in a stop loss now." Dugg tapped him on the shoulder before restarting the pitch and told him: "It's not like staying on the pitch is a good thing. ”

This sentence made Randolph think.

Stop?

He hadn't been exposed to economics, so it took him a long time to figure out what was going on.

And by this time, the second quarter of the game had already begun.

The Celtics, for their part, brought on Ray Allen and replaced Pierce. The Bostonians have always had a big man leading the way on the court.

Bang!

When Rasheed Wallace missed the first shot, the Knicks instantly launched a lightning-fast attack, and it took less than 5 seconds for all players to reach the frontcourt under Dug's leadership. And, after blocking and dismantling with David Lee, Dugg quickly passed the basketball to Milicic who went down, and Milicic easily dunked it...... Perkins had just run to the free-throw line.

When the Knicks sacrificed a fast run-and-shoot tactic that had not been used for a long time, Rivers on the other side couldn't help but be a little stunned.

In last season's playoffs, Boston can be said to have lost in this run-and-bomb style of play that does not follow the routine.

During this time, he has been researching. He believes that in addition to the lack of personnel, the biggest mistake he made at that time was to be led out of rhythm by Snoopy.

So this time, he resolutely stood on the sidelines and clapped his palms to remind Lagalondo: "Keep our rhythm up, come on!" ”

Lagalondo carried out Doug Rivers' orders, and he steadily adopted a positional offensive play. And, it didn't take long...... Swish!

Daniels throws to score.

The Knicks have improved their offensive efficiency, but their defensive intensity has dropped more than one notch.

After Daniels scored, the Knicks went on a frantic run again.

Boston also looked a little struggling with the fast break, although Doug Rivers switched to the more athletic Leon Bowe after two rounds. But the change didn't stop the Knicks from putting the basketball in the hoop.

Of course, the Knicks can't stop the Celtics from scoring.

The two sides moved forward in a dynamic balance and played until the end of the first half.

59：53。

Celtic, who are playing away, lead by six points.

It seems that the two teams are evenly matched, and there is not much difference.

But TNT's live broadcast room has made a clear judgment. "The Celts haven't used their full strength yet. Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce watched from the sidelines throughout the second quarter, and the Knicks had almost no cards. I think the winner will be decided in the third quarter. Then the fourth quarter goes into garbage time. ”

"It's not about criticizing the Knicks, they've done a fantastic job as a team with a predominantly young people. I even think they have a chance to squeeze into the top six in the East this year. But... Compared to their results last year, the gap is still huge. ”

"And that's... The Eastern powerhouses have repeatedly targeted them, and one by one they have claimed the reason for slaughtering them. I hope the Knicks can withstand the pressure and still have a chance to return to the Finals if they can bring in an All-Star caliber next summer. ”

“……”

These remarks can actually be seen in the home team's locker room, and the Knicks players don't look good.
