NBA Please Answer 2007

Chapter 54
The Knicks' fiasco was not without reason.

Since 2004, Isiah Thomas succeeded Laydon as the team manager

Immediately afterwards, Thomas made drastic reforms to the team lineup.A few weeks later, Thomas approached Marbury in Phoenix and asked, "Will you come to New York with me?"

Tears of gratitude filled Marbury's eyes when he heard this, and his childhood dream of one day wearing the Nick jersey was realized.

Marbury and New York first started a honeymoon period. Although the record was not very impressive, the fans were crazy about Marbury's unique and avant-garde style of play. The relationship between Marbury and his boss Dolan is also inextricably linked.

But the next year began to fluctuate. The head coach changed for almost half a year, the starting lineup changed every week, and there were trading rumors every day.

In the words of a local New York Post reporter: "The Knicks' roster changes faster than the numbers on the stock plate."

Then there are continuous losses, the salary structure remains high, and the team's situation is not shaking. The fans' scolding, booing, and reporters' verbal criticism have caused panic inside the team, and then intrigues and chaos.

Now when Marbury or Thomas appear on the streets of Manhattan, Knicks fans always stop their cars, roll down the windows and shout at them: Steph, which one will go first, you or Isiah...

Now the Knicks have David Lee and Crawford in their hands and dream of Stephen Jackson and Al Harrington.General manager Thomas called Oakland several times, hoping to restart the Al Harrington deal, but was avoided by the Warriors.

Chris Mullin had another idea in mind, let El Harrington brush up the data first, and then wait for the price.

As for the idea of ​​trading Stephen Jackson, Mullin has been persuaded by coach Nelson.

"George needs a teacher."

……

After playing the Knicks game, there was no time to rest, and the Warriors boarded the plane again to fly to Boston.

Li Zhi's condition is not very good. The continuous running and lack of sleep greatly affect his performance on the field. This may be the reason for the horror of back-to-back.

Insufficient physical strength is the most worrying problem for coach Nelson, not to mention that tomorrow's opponent is the Celtics who are now the No. [-] in the Eastern Conference.

8 wins and 1 losses.

Before losing to the Magic in the last game, the Celtics had won 8 consecutive victories.

The entire league finally felt the terror of the Celtics.

How strong are the Celtics this season?
For example, like Barcelona playing other teams, winning seems to be a common occurrence.

The Big Three of the Celtics can be said to be suffocating.

Garnett and Pierce were frightened by their teammates, and Ray Allen was purged because of Durant. The somewhat downcast trio got together and felt like "I have been holding back for so long, and finally I have some reliable teammates. This time I won't beat you all one by one".

Leaving aside the Big Three, there are a bunch of ruthless players sitting on the Celtics bench, Tony Allen, James Posey, Leon Bowie, PJ Brown, plus the starter Perkins, these guys are all masters who can peel off the opponent's skin on the court.

And Rivers has been clamoring next to them, and each of them played like chicken blood. In other words: "Let every corner of the court be full of malice."

This year, Lukai gave people such a feeling. Everyone was chasing the enemy like a mad dog.

Everything is different.

This team had just experienced an extremely bad season, but everything looked different after Garnett arrived.

Everyone is working harder on defense, and their desire for victory far exceeds that of the last failed season. Ray Allen and Pierce, who are also stars, are also deeply affected, and they have played the best defensive years in their careers.

Defense, the Celtics' magic weapon, is indeed the weakness of the Golden State Warriors.

No one in the outside world is optimistic about the Warriors, but when the game progressed to the last minute, everyone was dumbfounded.

The entire Warriors team who used the super spicy sticks did not feel tired from playing back-to-back games. It seemed like they had rested for a summer, and they were alive and well on the court.

What is the most popular in NBA?Popularity reverses.

Don't think that you will be able to win the game if you lead by 20+.

Today's Warriors are enough to illustrate this point: basketball is round, and you don't know it until the last second.

Things change quickly on the basketball court.

凭着主场之利，凯尔特人一度领先勇士12分之多，即便是第四节比赛还剩下最后3分49秒时，凯尔特人依然以97：87领先勇士10分之多。

However, in the next 2 minutes and 49 seconds, the Warriors played a 14:4 attack wave and successfully chased the score to a 101 tie.

After the timeout, Garnett missed the hook, but grabbed an offensive rebound and made a tip-up. The Celtics led by 2 points.

The Warriors Bitrins also grabbed Monta Ellis' offensive rebound and made a tip-up. The two teams once again tied at 103.

Since the hot pot incident, Bitrins has significantly more communication with the outsiders, and has a little more presence in the team. Although Bitrins only scored 4 points and 4 rebounds today, he grabbed this crucial rebound at the last moment.

There are still 14.7 seconds left.

After the Celtics timeout, Paul Pierce made a big mistake. He missed his 17-foot mid-range shot, leaving the Warriors with as much as 2.9 seconds!But in the next offensive, Paul Pierce made up for it and blocked Li Zhi's mid-range shot, and the two teams entered overtime.

进入加时赛，经验老道的三巨头发威了。凯尔特人打出一波9：4的攻击波，最后1分46秒，凯尔特人以112：107领先5分之多。

But within 1 minute and 23 seconds after that, the Celtics fell into a scoring drought and missed 3 shots in a row, and even Garnett missed two free throws!

Rivers yelled angrily on the sidelines: "We don't score, and you don't even think about scoring!"

Rivers' curse took effect, and the Warriors' offense was just as bad, also missing two mid-range shots.

But then Baron Davis made two free throws after causing a foul by Perkins. In the last 23 seconds, the Warriors caught up to 109:112.

After the timeout, Baron Davis steals Rondo and assists Matt Barnes to hit a 25-foot three-pointer from the left!The two teams once again drew 112!

At this time there are still the last 17 seconds, the Warriors did not take long, Barnes made another contribution, causing Pierce to make a mistake.

In the last attack of the Warriors, Baron Davis had no choice but to hit the basket directly, but Garnett blocked the shot again, but Li Zhi was lucky to grab an offensive rebound.

Tip! ! !

Li Zhi's eyes turned red, and he had already forgotten that the opposing team was the Celtics at this moment.

Regardless of whether you are James or Kobe, you will be killed, all of them will be killed.

"All lore!"

But at this time, Ray Allen's flying cap fell from the sky.

In overtime, the Warriors failed to block the Celtics' iron hooves.

The Celtics miraculously turned defeat into victory! There was a deafening roar in the TD North Shore Garden Arena.

　I hope everyone will cast their valuable recommendation votes, and I will work hard!
