NBA: No. 1 Forward

The last thing the Celtics want to see is that the game is dragged to the tiebreaker. The Celtics lineup is too old. The game is dragged to the end. It will be a great test.

"This is our last chance. The Knicks are still alive, and we will continue to fight!" Lian Dao spoke very briefly. He is still short of breath and has not fully recovered from the energy consumption of the game.

It can be said that Lian Dao is physically and mentally exhausted, too tired. This game is the first time that he actively asked to come to the court to rest.

In this game, Lian Dao scored 41 points, 14 rebounds and 6 assists. It can be said that this game was completely dependent on Lian Dao\'s constant rushing inside to grab rebounds and fight for it.

But even so, the Knicks are still behind the Celtics in rebounding.

For the Celtics, Pierce played the best in this game. Lian Dao\'s restrictions on him in this game were not very good. He scored 24 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists in the game; followed by Garnett with 18 points, and then It\'s Ray Allen with 16 points...

Apart from Lian Dao, the Knicks\' best performer is Holiday, with 17 points and 8 assists. After Holiday entered the playoffs, he can see his improvement in almost every game. Lian Dao was delighted.

…

Western Conference Finals, May 29.

The Lakers eliminated the Phoenix Suns 111:103 in the away game, and the Lakers advanced to the finals with a big score of 4:2.

But the Knicks and Celtics still have a game to play.

No matter who will win the final tie-break, they are definitely not as good as the Los Angeles Lakers in terms of physical reserves.

This is also the most headache for the Celtics. They feel that meeting the Knicks this season may be their biggest misfortune in the playoffs.

The Celtics once again came to the home of the Knicks, Madison Square Garden.

In the tiebreaker, both sides are desperate, and no one wants to go home to fish, but there is only one place to advance to the finals.

From the beginning of the first half, the two sides fell into a wrestling battle. When they came up, they had frequent physical contact.

The shooting percentage of the two sides in this game can only be described as dismal, and the referee did not favor the whistle because it is the home of the Knicks. For this part of the game, it is often left to the players of both sides to solve it. Some dispensable whistles, the referee also did not see.

At the end of the first half, the two sides battled to 43:43.

In the second half, in the first half of the third quarter, the Knicks were able to score through Lian Dao\'s score and bite the score tightly, but in the second half of the third quarter, Lian Dao\'s shooting percentage dropped sharply due to excessive physical exertion.

The Celtics once again passed the protection of the rebound, and slowly opened the score bit by bit.

By the end of the third quarter, the two sides battled to 66:60.

The Knicks trailed by 6 points.

"The Knicks are not as good as the Celtics in the protection of inside rebounds. In the first half, the Knicks were able to rely on Sickle\'s excellent offense to bite the Celtics. But in the second half, Sickle\'s physical fitness was also in crisis. In this round of the Knicks series, Sickle almost exhausted his physical strength in every game."

"The first few games were okay, but the further back, the greater the impact of lack of physical fitness on the Knicks."

Mike Breen is also finding the Knicks\' problem.

In the fourth quarter, Lian Dao regained some physical fitness through rest, and started a point-chasing battle at the beginning.

Led the Knicks to play a wave of 12:6 in the first half, and finally tied the score.

Originally thought that the Knicks could take advantage of the victory to chase and open the score in one fell swoop, but they fell into a scoring drought again.

However, due to the continuous escalation of the fighting between the two teams, both sides fell into a fight with iron.

The Knicks were not opened up too much by the Celtics for a while.

In the last 33 seconds, unexpectedly, Rajon Rondo made an unprecedented three-pointer from the outside, which directly widened the point difference to 6 points.

After that, in the face of the Knicks\' foul tactics, the Celtics made no mistakes at the free throw line.

At the end of the game, the Celtics still relied on their strong overall strength to defeat the Knicks 93:89.

"Although the Knicks counterattacked in the fourth quarter, they still did not win the game in one go. The experienced Celtics held the Knicks tightly through defense. They put the Knicks into a physical crisis and fought 7 games. The Celtics also won with difficulty! 4:3, they are going to the finals!"

Lian Dao looked at the frozen scoreboard and the zeroed timer, and finally sat down on the Knicks logo in the center of the court.

The other Knicks players also stared blankly at the timer. They couldn\'t believe that this game would be their end!

At this time, the victorious Wolf King Garnett walked towards Lian Dao after hugging his teammates.

In this round of the series, he was really shocked by the rookies of the year. Although they won the game, the journey was too hard and tortured.

Looking at Lian Dao who fell on the court, Garnett was also deeply moved.

Did the Knicks lose? Indeed, the Knicks were indeed defeated in terms of score.

However, this is only the first season of the Knicks\' reconstruction. You must know that before the start of this season, they were still struggling in the Eastern Conference.

The average age of their starting players is less than 25 years old. Even before that, they had never touched the floor of the playoffs, but they still made it to the playoffs. When everyone was not optimistic, they became The two strongest teams in the Eastern Conference.

Although they failed, their journey this season can definitely be called great.

Moreover, Garnett knows how difficult it is to lead the team to the playoffs with a single core.

Minnesota persisted for 12 years. He only reached the Western Conference Finals in 2004, and finally lost 2:4 to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Therefore, Garnett admired him in his heart. This rookie season led the Knicks to the No. 1 player in the Eastern Conference Finals, and they almost overturned the Celtics.

Looking back now, Garnett even has a heart.

"The game is over, the New York Knicks caused a lot of trouble for the Celtics. But, unfortunately, they did not become the final winner of this round of the series. The Celtics came to the end. They were at Madison Square Garden. Lifted the Eastern Championship trophy!"

Jeff Van Gundy feels a little sorry for the Knicks. The Knicks are still a bit unlucky. Who would have thought that Rajon Rondo, who made only 21.3% of his three-pointers, would hit a fatal three-pointer at a critical moment.

You must know that in the last game, he also missed the last ultra-long three-pointer ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and caused the Celtics to lose G6. However, his three-pointer today completed the last game Salvation!

However, at this moment, Jeff Van Gundy\'s eyes were attracted by Garnett.

He saw that Garnett, who had won, just hugged his teammates and then walked towards Lian Dao.

Instead of celebrating the joy of winning with his teammates, he walked towards the opponent who caused them the most trouble in this round of the series.

Van Gundy smiled, it seemed that even the grumpy wolf king was convinced by this rookie who was at the peak of his debut.

"Sickle!"

Lian Dao heard that she was being called, and turned her head to look.

It was discovered that it was not his teammate, but Kevin Garnett wearing a green jersey.

"You won Kevin, and you finally made it to the end. Although I am very unwilling now, but...congratulations Kevin." Lian Dao took Garnett\'s outstretched hand and stood up with strength.

"Hahahaha, I know you are very unwilling. I have never doubted your desire for victory. If you do it all over again, I really don\'t want you to be the opponents of the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals! This round of the series seems to be coming from purgatory. Walk around inside!"

Garnett said, the two bumped shoulders and hugged each other.

"Kevin, although you beat us, I still hope that you can go to the end. After all, I hope that only the championship can beat us."

"We will, we\'ve all come out of purgatory, I believe, nothing can stop the Celtics, not even the defending champions. sickle, this is just your rookie season, you still have a lot of opportunities in the future , come on, the future is yours!"
