NBA: No. 1 Forward

There can only be two reasons for this phenomenon: either Rivers wants to give up this back-to-back, or they are preserving their physical fitness for the second-half decisive victory.

If it is the first type, then the Knicks really picked up a big deal, but Lian Dao always feels unlikely.

Now the Celtics are only one game away from the Heat and the Bulls. Will they really give up the second place in the Eastern Conference?

You must know that the ranking in the playoffs represents the strength of the opponent in the first round of the duel. Even if they are behind by one rank, the strength of the opponent may vary greatly.

Especially in the East!

Except for the West, there are all kinds of ghosts and monsters in the West in the past few seasons. In order to compete for the playoffs, the level of fighting is terrible, and it is not surprising that there will be any comebacks.

And still facing the Knicks who lack cheap rice, as an old opponent in the Eastern Conference finals last season, will the Celtics really give up the victory?

Lian Dao shook his head, he would not believe that Rivers would be so kind, and that meant that the Celtics would definitely use their housekeeping skills in the second half: defense!

Sure enough, as soon as the second half started at halftime, the Celtics changed tactics, taking defensive colander Nenad Krstic off the field and replacing them with Glenn Davis.

The Celtics all strengthened their defense. Garnett directly threw away the "elderly" hat.

The Celtics suddenly strengthened their defense in the third quarter. All the Knicks players were caught off guard. Under the defense of Paul Pierce, the young Gallinari made even more mistakes and was intercepted by Paul Pierce twice in a row.

Throughout the third quarter, the Knicks\' overall shooting rate was very dismal. The overall shooting rate in the third quarter was only 36.8%. The ball is 15, of which 11 are defensive rebounds and 4 offensive rebounds.

The Knicks had only 10 rebounds in the third quarter, including 8 defensive rebounds and 2 offensive rebounds.

In the third quarter, the Celtics had 5 overall steals and only 3 turnovers; the Knicks had 2 overall steals and 5 turnovers.

In the third quarter, the score of the two sides in a single quarter was 26:18.

The 14-point lead the Knicks established in the first half turned into 6 points after the entire third quarter.

Entering the fourth quarter, the Celtics once again strengthened their defense. While still implementing the tactics of the third quarter, they also blossomed on the offensive end.

On the offensive end, it wasn\'t because the Celtics stored energy in the first half and didn\'t release it early.

But the momentum of the Knicks in the third quarter was broken by the Celtics, especially after the Celtics overtook the score in the first half of the fourth quarter, the players on the Knicks began to get a little anxious.

The Knicks completely gave up defense and turned to a full-scale offense, competing with their opponents for scoring ability.

It\'s a pity that haste makes waste. This group of muscular sticks will never understand. The more anxious the Knicks are, the more they can\'t make shots.

The Knicks took 16 shots throughout the fourth quarter, but only hit 4 goals, and the overall shooting rate was only 25%, which can be said to be terrible.

After the Knicks gave up their defense, the Celtics also began to release firepower on the offensive end. After Garnett stood up in the third quarter, Paul Pierce stood up in the fourth quarter.

In the fourth quarter, Paul Pierce made a sudden outside shot and scored 13 points and 2 rebounds in a single quarter.

Ray Allen even used Garnett\'s cover to fire from the outside. He made 2 of 4 three-pointers and scored 8 points and 3 rebounds.

Stoudemire was completely restricted by Garnett in the fourth quarter. He missed 2 shots in the entire fourth quarter and only got 1 defensive rebound.

Throughout the fourth quarter, the only player on the line for the Knicks was Holiday. In the fourth quarter, he fired from outside the three-point line strangely. He made 2 of 3 three-pointers and scored 11 points in a single quarter.

The score between the two teams in the fourth quarter was 33:17.

The Knicks trailed the Celtics by 16 points in a single quarter.

Scoring twice as much.

The Knicks\' defense in the first three quarters was not too bad. Even in the third quarter, the Knicks only had problems on the offensive end. On the defensive end, they still had the defensive attitude of the first half.

The real collapse of the Knicks came in the fourth quarter, after being overtaken by the Celtics, after they completely gave up defense.

Throughout the fourth quarter, whether it was defense or offense, they didn\'t do it well.

On the defensive end, they voluntarily gave up defense in the fourth quarter. On the offensive end, they did not play D\'Antoni\'s fast break storm. It can be said that throughout the fourth quarter, the Celtics forced the Knicks to play a positional battle with them, especially the Celtics. People keep slowing down and grinding their positions.

Under such circumstances, the rhythm of the Knicks is completely messed up, and Stoudemire and Gallinari have never been masters of positional warfare.

And in the positional battle, no one in the Knicks except Lian Dao can attract double teams and create opportunities for Stoudemire.

In the end, the score of the two teams was fixed at 96:86.

This is one of the few Knicks not to score over 90 this season.

Paul Pierce was finally named the best player in the game. Although Paul Pierce did not break out in the third quarter, his performance in the first and fourth quarters was really explosive. Paul Pierce scored 32 points and 6 points in the game. Rebounds, Kevin Garnett scored 24 points and 11 rebounds.

For the Knicks, Cousins ​​scored the most. Although he didn\'t score a point in the fourth quarter, he played well in the first three quarters, scoring 22 points and 10 rebounds.

Stoudemire scored 16 points and 9 rebounds, Holiday scored 16 points and 3 assists...

In the end, Lian Dao shook his head helplessly and smiled wryly. He didn\'t expect his prediction to come true.

And his shaking his head wry smile was also captured by the camera on the sidelines.

Lian Dao had more shots on the sidelines today than Stoudemire on the field, especially after the two sides scored goals, the camera frequently pointed the camera at Lian Dao, which can also see Lian Dao\'s influence, even if he didn\'t play , but if you sit there, you can become the focus of the audience.

However, the Knicks eventually lost. After losing to the Celtics, the Knicks\' record dropped to 57 wins and 13 losses, which is currently the same record as the Spurs and tied for first in the league.

However, there is still a group of people behind the Knicks in the east, staring at the number one record.

The Chicago Bulls are the one with the most momentum recently. After entering March, the Chicago Bulls have won eight consecutive victories, but they recently lost to the Nets and Pacers.

Many fans are a little puzzled, are the Pacers the hidden boss in the East?

Of course, it is accompanied by changes in the rankings of the East and West.

Eastern Ranking—

1. New York Knicks (57 wins and 13 losses).

2. Chicago Bulls (50-19).

3. Boston Celtics (50-19).

4. Miami Heat (48 wins and 22 losses).

5. Orlando Magic (45 wins and 26 losses).

6. Atlanta Hawks (40-30).

7. Philadelphia 76ers (36 wins, 34 losses).

8. Indiana Pacers (31 wins and 40 losses).

Western Ranking—

1. San Antonio Spurs (57-13).

2. Los Angeles Lakers (50-20).

3. Dallas Mavericks (49 wins and 21 losses).

4. Oklahoma City Thunder (45 wins and 24 losses).

5. Denver Nuggets (42 wins and 29 losses).

6. Portland Trail Blazers (40 wins and 30 losses).

7. New Orleans Hornets (40-31).

8. Memphis Grizzlies (39 wins and 32 losses).

9. Houston Rockets (39-32).

From the record rankings, we can see that the West is strong and the East is weak, and the biggest change is in the West. is the Lakers first. After the All-Star Game, the paranoia in Los Angeles showed a strong Desire to win.

During this period, the Lakers also showed the strength of the defending champion. First, they won eight consecutive victories after the All-Star Game. Although they lost to the Miami Heat, the Lakers did not enter the losing streak.

So far, it has won four consecutive victories again.

In one fell swoop, they went all the way from fourth in the West to second in the West, especially when the Lakers entered the second place in the West, they still stepped on the body of the Mavericks.

Needless to say, the Mavericks are missing two @starting generals, relying on Nowitzki to play, still can\'t save the team\'s record. After the game with the Knicks, the Mavericks fell into a losing streak.

The key is that there is no Tyson Chandler on the inside to defend, and the Mavericks\' inside line has once again become a tens of thousands of stabs.
