The fans sat unsteadily in the stands and booed directly. Many fans even held up signs that said, let's play again.

Obviously, the fans didn't watch the massacre, but came to watch the fight.

The time and place are so consistent. Since there was already one last year, there will be no surprises this year.

Li Muhua noticed that Anthony's expression was a little unnatural.

Gua Ge felt itchy.

It was not so tit-for-tat with the Green Army before. It was because the media published a lot of game previews for eyeballs, which directly aroused the anger of the players.

The playoffs are coming soon, and nothing can happen at this time, Li Muhua quickly stood up: "Cameron, you are the leader of the team, you can't conflict with the Celtics because of a trivial matter, we have to For the sake of the playoffs, understand? Prove yourself, the playoffs are the key!"

Li Muhua's persuasion was quite effective, at least Brother Gua's younger brothers calmed down.

JR Smith shrugged.

I didn't come to New York with my eldest brother before, so I don't want to lose my help this time.

Li Muhua was the team's well-deserved core. No matter what he said, he dared not say that he could calm down the situation. At least in terms of soothing his emotions, his teammates were still full of trust.

Anthony's frown also unfurled:
"Yes, what LI said is right, we have to control our emotions, how we played in the past, how we play now, we have to learn restraint, Celtics' Ray Allen is not here, our defense can shrink to a certain extent, Play defense and attack at the same time!"

The players nodded immediately.

If you want to make a difference in the playoffs, it is best to use the Celtics as a touchstone.

The last game was a bit too cruel, but the Wizards' offense is not very good, and it is not a good object to practice defense.

John Wall's ability to lead the team has been questioned a lot. Obviously, this kind of team does not have the ability to play in the playoffs.

Still playing defense, the Knicks have increased their intensity.

Game start.

The same is positional warfare, but the style of play is somewhat different.

The Celtics pay more attention to the offensive ability of the striker, but the Knicks are better at the outside level.

O'Neal was absent, and Chandler grabbed the opening ball.

Li Muhua used the screen to pass Rondo. Stoudemire is tall and muscular, and he is the best blocker in pick-and-roll tactics.

This dislocation made the Celtics very uncomfortable. Although Rondo was very fast, he was obviously a step slower in trying to bypass Stoudemire to catch up with Li Muhua.

Pierce would miss Anthony if he helped.

Li Muhua faced Garnett directly, and when he came near the free throw line, Li Muhua threw the ball to the bottom corner.

Shupet made a three-pointer.

Both Bradley and Brandon Bass were drawn inside, ignoring the corner position.

From a tactical point of view, the bottom corner of the Celtics is the loophole.

This is also the most troublesome point for Coach Rivers.

Celtics offense.

Rondo misplaced Stoudemire and passed to Garnett after Chandler double-teamed.

Garnett continued to shift, and after two shots from the outside, the ball returned to Garnett's hands. The iron-blooded jump shot was launched, and Garnett easily hit it.

Stoudemire couldn't even guard against a thirty-year-old man.

However, Garnett's jump shot is not easy to defend. To be precise, the skills that can be mixed with a name are still of a certain level.

Jagged Big Jumper is an upgraded version of CIC Pretty Boy.

Garnett can't be there all the time.

The Knicks were not worried. Li Muhua passed the pass to Stoudemire. This time Stoudemire did not rush to attack, but forced Garnett a few times before handing it over to Anthony.

Anthony played singles with the ball, Garnett was ready to help defend, and Bradley on the outside also withdrew.

After a turn, Anthony made a false pass and threw it to the basket.

Li Muhua slipped to the basket to catch the ball, and threw it back to the middle. Stoudemire caught the ball and dunked.

No one expected that Li Muhua was still passing the ball steadily, without any rush, when there was not much time left in the attack.

This kind of game rhythm is exactly what the Celtics want, but the Knicks have Li Muhua, who can control the rhythm on the offensive end and compete with Rondo.

A good point guard is always helping his teammates find opportunities.

Rondo has a bad temper, but his style of play is also biased towards this.

Many people joked that Long didn't shoot, which means that his shooting level is not good, and he has no outside ability, which makes it easy for Li Muhua to defend.

The point guard's shooting is not terrible, but the passing that he is afraid of drives the team.

After entering the Knicks, Li Muhua deliberately controlled the number of shots, which changed the Knicks' lineup upgrade from singles to coordination.

Rondo also suppressed the desire to attack.

The point guard matchup is reflected in the assist data.

From the first quarter, Li Muhua took two trial shots, but felt that his hand didn't feel good, so he didn't make any shots by himself, but kept passing them to his teammates.

Rondo kept his mouth shut and didn't relax his defense because Li Muhua didn't shoot. After so many matchups, Rondo knew in his heart that Li Muhua's not shooting didn't mean he was incompetent, but just to connect the team.

Players move and pass the ball, which will make the defense more and more loopholes.

Especially when Li Muhua responded to the pass in the middle distance, Rondo was helpless.

In fact, the Celtics' defense did not relax at any point.

Once Li Muhua runs without the ball, he will be defended. The Celtics' position is very rigid, and everyone is responsible for their own area.

The first quarter ended quickly.

The fans finally stopped watching the game in silence, but booed vigorously and loudly again, signaling the two teams to fight again, hoping that the trip was worthwhile.

The pressure on the Celtics was very high. At 26:32 in the first quarter, they fell behind by 6 points.

It is also a positional battle, the Celtics did not take advantage of it, the lack of Ray Allen's Celtics, the lack of offensive players involved in the defense, Pierce's performance was limited.

In order to prevent these two offensive kaleidoscopes from coming back directly, Li Muhua simply gave Anthony some less balls.

This made the double-teaming that the Celtics had planned to be in vain.

Anthony is a superstar player, he can play as he wants, and his footsteps are obviously faster than Pierce, which makes Pierce very difficult, so he has to let other players help defend, but once Anthony holds the ball, Li Muhua can find open opportunities for other teammates .

Anthony's possession of the ball was just an illusion, and he passed it immediately when he found Li Muhua.

Who will get the ball in the end, only Li Muhua knows.

It's quite depressing.

Barkley sprayed the Celtics indifferently:

"The Big Three are already old, and Ray Allen is still not here. The loss of combat power is huge. They can't compare with these young players of the Knicks!"

"Yes, Rondo is not the boss of the team yet!" Kenny Smith nodded, "We used to say that the Knicks' defense is poor, but from this game we can see that the Knicks have begun to pay attention to defense. Intensity, instead of blindly trying to figure out some fast breaks!"
