In the last few minutes of the first quarter, the Celtics expected Louis to take out the full press.

As a result, Louis did not use the full press as they thought, but naturally finished the first quarter.

27 to 24

The Celtics led by 3 points, the Big Three played 7-9 minutes each, while the Knicks insisted on changing groups of people every six minutes.

The longest starting time is Dell Ellis. He was focused on being guarded by the Celtics tonight, but Louis used it as bait.

So although Alice only scored 3 points in the first quarter, he verified the famous saying from the small ball era.

A master without ball can save the entire team's offense.

You should know that Ellis is far from being a master of off-ball. Although his off-ball run is amazing, he is not a historical off-ball player like Jordan, Miller, Ray Allen, and Curry.

His off-ball threat in the Knicks is because the team focuses on the N.UCLA system.

The system that focuses on pick-and-roll and cover is more conducive to his performance, and he threatens his shooting skills and shooting to feed back his teammates.

This is a virtuous cycle.

In the second quarter, Louis boldly played the three-in-one lineup of Webber, Gerald Wilkins, A.C. Green, Antoine Kyle and Manut Pohl.

Because the Celtics' second quarter lineup is Thomas, Angie, Guy Williams, Jim Peterson and Ranbill.

Compared with the previous two years, the depth of the Celtics' lineup has been greatly weakened, but it can still be compared with the starting lineup of some weak teams.

What's more, the person who brings this lineup is Thomas.

Louis predicts that K.C will not deliberately make DIYs on the Knicks in lineup, so the Knicks' second team is very targeted.

Webber, who can't keep up with the Celtics, has three advantages in the interior, Boer's basket protection and Celtics' attack performance, will determine the tone of the second quarter.

The Knicks took the lead in attacking the second quarter.

Antoine Kyle ran to the right paint area to catch the ball.

As long as they don't play with Stockton, Louis will not force them to play N.UCLA offense.

Kyle caught the ball and found that his opponent didn't follow him, so he immediately took action.

26 to 27

Louis whistled and said to Ranbir, "Bill, what's wrong? Do you think Antoine can't shoot?"

The Celtics intend to counterattack quickly, but the Knicks' retreat speed did not slow down because of the three inside players.

A.C is a flexible and brisk insider. As a religious believer with faith, he is probably the cleanest player in NBA history.

His flexible steps allow him to defend the third position on the defensive end, which is also the reason why Louis dares to use the three-inside lineup.

Kyle is a player who needs to mobilize defense enthusiasm with offense. He scored a goal from the upstairs, which helped him defend seriously.

Boer's speed was a little slower, but it didn't matter. The coaching staff never expect him to defend against opponents' counterattacks. It would be enough to try to keep up with the pace.

Thomas faced Webber in the frontcourt.

Almost every game, Thomas, who is taller than himself, suddenly met a player 20 centimeters shorter than him. He rarely had a speed disadvantage when attacking with the ball.

Webber let Thomas go two meters away.

Thomas dribbled in, fearing Bohr's height advantage, so he chose to stop and jump shot.

29 to 26

Weber often doesn't know what tactics to play, there are too many pick-and-roll tactics.

Stockton was a good writer and could use all his tactics as part of his game memory at will, and he often had to look at Louis to see what instructions he had.

"Empty 9!" Louis shouted.

After receiving instructions, Weber gestured to his teammates from afar.

Kyle pulled to the left and took away the defender.

A.C ran out to the outside, while Gerald Wilkins asked for the ball from Webber.

It seemed like a tactic to clear the space for Wilkins to play singles, but after passing the ball, Webber just ran behind Wilkins and turned around and ran back, using his teammate's body to block Thomas behind him. The Celtics' average defensive IQ is very high, and Angie decisively switched defense, but one by one, one by one, and A.C's unball cover was already in place on the three-point line on the right.

Knowing that the collision was inevitable, Anji swung a elbow hard at A.C. The two fell to the ground at the same time, and Weber rushed straight to the inside.

Wilkins had a lob and Webber caught the ball and jumped from the paint area, which was something Ranbill could not imagine.

A young man who is less than 1.7 meters tall actually completed a dunk in their inside line!

This is "Empty9", Empty Lob, which translates directly as an empty side lob cooperation, which still uses the player's running and pick-and-roll cover to create space. Unlike Empty Side, Lob will make the ball holder more of the ball holder as the cutter, while the Side is often the cooperation between the ball holder and the inside, and the game is just a surprise.

The Knicks didn't feel happy for long before Louis saw Angie clashing with A.C.

"I'll try to touch you!" Anji, who was hitting the elbow first, didn't look at any fault, and it seemed that A.C was going first.

Almost at the first time, the other four teammates on the Knicks surrounded him, and they happened to be his classmate. What are the benefits of classmates? They are very good at each other. Because Louis gives almost everyone a chance, they cooperate with each other and make progress together, and whoever encounters problems will help.

Kyle, Boll, Webber, and Wilkins all rushed over and surrounded the people. The second conflict was about to happen.

Fortunately, there was a referee. Tommy Nunes grabbed the whistle and shouted: "Do you want T? If you don't want it, spread it apart and play well!"

"He elbowed me first, and then spoke rudely. Would he just let it go?" A.C made a proper charge.

"Stop fucking here, rookie, this is part of the game. If you don't like it, go home and don't play ball!" Anji mocked vulgarly.

"Okay!" Kyle and the others took A.C away, and said to Angie, "Look at who is more cruel!"

Nunes roared angrily: "Whoever dares to do extra things, I will definitely not let him go!"

"Tommy, it's not that I'm talking about you. If you don't see what that boy Angie did to my players, you can ask your vice referee. He should see clearly, but he doesn't like me, so he won't blow the whistle, but you should know who Angie is, and you should know that A.C will never cause trouble on his own initiative!"

Louis put a little pressure on Nunez on the sidelines, and then found that Oakley was eager to try.

"Coach, should I get on?"

His fists were hard, and he was obviously going to fight.

"Get back and sit down, it's not your business yet!"

"Can I lose less fight?"

"Damn, can you stop thinking about fighting all day long? We are fucking civilized people. Fighting is what a fucking civilized person should do? Can you learn from me a little bit, don't think about fucking fighting all day long?"

Oakley was shocked: "Coach, I must listen to you and be a fucking civilized person!"

The dispute caused by Angie brought a tougher team to the Celtics.

A.C and Guy Williams rolled all over the ground in the confrontation.

Louis remembered that Williams wanted to be a thug at the beginning. Louis hoped that he could have his own unique skills, but unfortunately he didn't understand it thoroughly.

Now he has become the executor under Ranbir.

Ranbill never takes the initiative to fight. He is not the strictly enforcer, nor is he a thug like Oakley. He is superior to these people. He is a demagogue. He is responsible for inciting the opponent's emotions, provoking trouble, and letting the opponent take action.

Williams' current role is the executor under Ranbir. He basically acts on Ranbir's face.

Louis couldn't tell whether this was good or bad.

In fact, this is a good thing for Williams. In Louis's previous life, he had faded out of the league at this stage, and now he has a stable position in Boston because K.C and Auerbach both felt that Ranbir needed a thug around him.

A.C and Williams landed together, and Thomas made a strong pass.

Angie took action outside the three-point line, but the center of gravity was destroyed by Antoine Kyle.

What was confused was that the referee did not call Kyle a foul.

Instead, Ranbill was given a foul at the basket.

"Tomy?" It was K.C's turn to be dissatisfied.

K.C stood up and complained loudly, "Where did you have any foul just now? If the inside line doesn't get stuck, what else can you play..."

Louis smiled and said to Tomjanovic: "Mr. Nunez is really a good player to blow the balance whistle."

"I still prefer Earl Strom (the home team wins less than the away team in the referee/punishment game)," Tomjanovic said.

The dispute caused by Anji further escalated the confrontation on the field.

It seems that the defending champions are putting pressure on their opponents, but this is exactly what Louis wants to see.

At present, this Celtics is no longer the Iron Army that regained three major reversals in Philadelphia in 1981 by hand-to-hand combat.

In fact, even if you search through NBA history, you can't find a second team like the Celtics, with three of the top four players in the league.

Their combat power and talent are above many teams.

Hands-to-hand combat is considered a self-destruction for them, and it will not be beneficial for them to fight like this.

Weber is going to cover this time, and with the Celtics' attack speed that is unpreventable, he rushed to the outside of the paint area and threw objects like a high-altitude shot, hitting the board.

30 to 29

"With Sport Webber's throw, the Knicks overtook the score!"

"It's time for us to let go of our prejudices and take this team seriously," Tom Heinthorne said. "Little Lu is doing what he's done to the Celtics."

The fierce physical confrontation made the Celtics unable to find opportunities with the transmission ball for the moment, and Thomas broke into the basket and passed the ball to Ranbill.

Ranbir fired a shot, shook Boer, and then hit the time difference to cause Boer to foul.

With two free throws, he only scored one goal, and he lost the second free throw.

A.C grabbed the rebound and threw it directly, teleport Webber quickly.

Thomas chased after him at full speed and also sent a shooting foul.

The rhythm and intensity of the game were not on the Celtics' points. In the early part of the second quarter, they did not gain any planned advantages, but instead allowed the Knicks to control the rhythm.

The source of changes in the game was when Angie had a conflict with A.C, and he forced out the bloody nature of the Knicks' young man.
Chapter completed!
