"That's what we expected. We weren't in a good place at first. It's definitely complicated. Throughout the game, the Celtics were efficient and well-matched. This is where we should pay attention."

Chen said quietly in the face of reporters' questions. Today, only Porzingis, Hardaway Jr. and Ntilikina were in attendance. Their faces weren't too bad, but they were a little lonely.

At the end of the third quarter, the Knicks also outscored the Green Shirts 85-84. But in the fourth quarter, things were completely different. Chen used the remaining two timeouts to no avail.

117：108！ The Knicks' defeat gave the Boston Celtics their 13th straight win!

Boston's Horford had 11 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists! Jason 16 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block! Hayward 26 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists! Marcus had 9 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, and Irving had 37 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists!

After seeing that his team was still 1 point behind the opponent in the third quarter, Irving in the fourth quarter began to attack the opponent's basket violently! Pass to Horford or Hayward when you don't have a chance!

In this state, if he plays for a while, it is estimated that he will get a triple-double! Hayward also had a good performance in this game, shooting 42.8% from three-point range! 6 of 6 free throws! This game is also very important for the Green Shirts! They also did a good job of guarding against the Knicks.

Stevens' conservative style of play combined with the Green Shirts' lineup on the court this season made the game out of suspense with just over four minutes left in the game. Both teams were not in good shape at that time, and I felt that the smell of gunpowder on the field was getting stronger and stronger!

The Knicks were quite happy at the end of the third quarter, and they felt like they could at least play to the end. However, in the end, the difference was still more than 11 minutes when there were more than 2 minutes left.

When the game was over, Chen's nerves relaxed from the tense state they had just felt. If you lose the game in the end and lose a few of my generals, it will be too much of a loss. And the commentators after the game immediately gave the Knicks a relatively good evaluation.

It is said that the Celtics can achieve a comeback in the third quarter like the Celtics who are in such good overall shape now, and it is already good to play the last few minutes of the fourth quarter. Chen looked back on the teams that played against the Celtics this season, and it was true that good teams were not sure to win against them, and the average team or bad team basically gave a direct account in the second quarter.

On the Knicks' side, Kanter got 12 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists! Porzingis 31 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists! Hardaway Jr. had 18 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists, Ntilikina had 8 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, and Ramon had 9 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists.

What made New York feel the most in this game was that their defensive ability and the coordination value in the game were not low. Although Irving played almost none-hours in the third quarter, they were immediately a little slower in action.

But in the other three quarters, the Knicks still couldn't keep the same level as the Celtics. Obviously, this is a game with a big gap in strength! Again, when the difference in strength reaches a certain level, the weaker team is much less likely to win.

Jack only scored seven points in this game. Nellikina and Ramonga together scored only 17 points! The team's restrictions on defenders are very strong!

......

Chen was more relaxed after returning to the hotel. Thinking about the Raptors in the next game. I didn't take this game too seriously. That's when the phone rang.

"Well, I'm" Chen heard a familiar voice on the other end of the phone, but for a moment he couldn't remember who it was.

"First of all, I have to apologize...... "If you don't have a clue on the other end of the phone, you have to apologize."

"What apologies? You are? Oh, it's you," Chen picked up his phone and saw the name of the Brooklyn Nets owner on the caller ID. I didn't come back to my senses for a while, so I just picked up my phone.

"How's it going? It feels good to have a winning streak, I've heard how many wins you've had now? ”

"......" Chen Yinan suddenly had four more black lines behind his head when he heard such a question......

"I remember the last time we met, we said that we would develop well in the future. Take one of me, and they will fire you without paying attention. The other party ignored Chen's silence and said to himself.

"And what do you mean today?" Chen felt that such a conversation was not interesting, so he spoke to him directly.

"Let's start with this. I'm ready to rebuild this side of Brooklyn, no, no, it's not a big change. It's the management side that has to be changed almost completely. The second thing to say is that I'm already feeling a little tired about the Nets as a team right now. Let's see this season, if it doesn't work then I'm probably going to sell the team outright. But what I'm going to say is try it before that."

"How to try? Management replaced? Chen asked casually.

"No, I heard you only signed a two-month contract with the Knicks, right?"

"I didn't have security for two months, so I could leave New York at any time. It's not like you're going to get that money."

"It doesn't matter, but are you thinking about which team you're going to go to in two months at most?"

"What do you mean?"

This phone call in the evening made Chen feel refreshed. I thought that I would be unemployed immediately in two months at the latest, but Mikhail suddenly made such a phone call. In the end, when Chen hadn't thought about it, the other party said, "If you think it's okay, call me when the time comes", he hung up directly.

Mikhail spoke as quickly as if there was something else behind him, unlike Chen, who didn't know what to do at this time. With two days to go, the team is scheduled to play a game against the Raptors in Toronto.

Chen called his agent and told him about it. The other party immediately thought that this was a rare and good opportunity! It's a big deal to come out of the Nets at the end! At this time, I still pick out what kind of fat and thin, and I will do the work about the coach.

The players weren't having much fun outside at the time. It would have been nice to win against Celtic today. But in a few days, they will face the next strong enemy in the east!

Chen couldn't fall asleep over and over in bed, and suddenly felt as if there was something like a small card on his bed......

Chen woke up when he went up, and Chen, who hadn't slept much all night, found that the house was very quiet. He's the only one who can't be quiet. Rubbing his eyes, finding his phone and looking at the recent news, he found that the interim coach of the Nets had been out of class three days ago. The team is about the same as it was before Atkinson arrived. Lost until now.

"Hello? Well, what time are we leaving? Chen Yinan called the staff of his team. After learning that he would not be able to do it until tomorrow morning, he went back to bed.

The Toronto Raptors are not weak this season. At least that's the case from a league-wide perspective. They have a decent attacking prowess.

However, the team has now let go of some players due to player trades and maintaining their original strength. So now they are a little weaker defensively on the front line than they used to be.

Lowry can get 17 points, 5.8 rebounds and 6.3 assists this season! This season he has scored a little less. His playing time was somewhat diluted by the rest of the team. But at the same time, his personal defensive ability is much stronger!

Although this player is a little thin, his fighting spirit is very strong! He has been very important in the past few seasons. From the Rockets to the Raptors, Lowry has also changed from an excellent blue-collar guard to a leader in Toronto!

DeRozan, 22.1 points, 4.1 rebounds and 4.6 assists, his personal data is still very eye-catching! The physical quality is very good, and the individual offensive ability is excellent. Defensively, though, it's a little weaker.

The Raptors are probably going to pay attention to now that it's best not to run into the Cavaliers in the playoffs, or, if they do, what to do. As soon as they met Cleveland, they were swept straight out......

Mascot Serge Ibaka has 11.2 points, 5.5 rebounds and 0.9 assists this season! He has a good size and is very good defensively. Chen still remembers the scene when he fought with the players of his Nets team.

At present, he has controlled his emotions in this regard. However, his individual ability can still be well displayed! Sometimes he can easily use his reach to get a rebound quickly. When you're playing against him, you don't want to score so easily.
