Chapter 248 An Incredible Journey! (Third update!)
With the announcement of the selection results of the major awards of the NBA season, some people are happy and some are worried.
Just as Lin Yi kept piercing the hearts of a bunch of people, the first round of the NBA playoffs in the 09/10 season was all over...
East and West semifinals, here we come!
Next, the first match between the Knicks and the Celtics in the Eastern Conference semifinals will be held on May 5, and the first matchup between the Cavaliers and Magic in the other Eastern Conference semifinals will be held on May 1. Last year, the Cavaliers were defeated by the Magic in the Eastern Conference finals.
As for the situation in the Western Conference playoffs, all the first rounds of the Western Conference playoffs went to Game 4, and the winning teams won 2-[-] without exception.
The first team to advance to the Western Conference playoffs was of course the number one favorite, the Los Angeles Lakers. Kobe used his average shooting percentage of about 42% in the series to educate the Shuangxiao how to play, and told the Shuangxiao the importance of having good teammates.
In addition, as Lin Yi remembers, without George Karl, the Nuggets lost to the Jazz. "Melo" played well in this round of the series, averaging 30+ per game. However, the Jazz has a thicker lineup. After six confrontations, the Jazz had the last laugh.
The Suns defeated the Trail Blazers 4-2. Roy's comeback failed to save the Trail Blazers' fate, and what worried the Trail Blazers fans was that Roy was injured again...
As for the fans of the Mavericks vs. Mavericks, they were heartbroken again. They were not blacked out this time, but they were blacked out. The Spurs eliminated the Mavericks 4-2 and successfully advanced to the Western Conference semifinals.
Of course, Lin Yi knew that the Suns fans could finally vent their anger this time, because if it was as he remembered, the Suns would sweep the Spurs in the Western Conference semifinals.
……
在ESPN凯尔特人VS尼克斯的前瞻投票当中，参与投票的100位记者和专家之中有79人认为凯尔特人能够成功晋级，其中有19人认为凯尔特人能够横扫尼克斯，有31人认为凯尔特人能够4比1击败尼克斯，有17人认为凯尔特人能够4比2击败尼克斯，只有12人认为凯尔特人会通过抢七击败尼克斯。
而另外21位看好尼克斯的专家们除了1人认为尼克斯能够4比1击败凯尔特人之外，另外20人都认为尼克斯要通过抢七才能淘汰凯尔特人。
From people's votes, it is not difficult to see that although this Knicks team has been recognized by everyone, and although Lin Yi has become the strongest rookie in people's eyes, people still think that the Celtics are stronger.
Of course, Lin Yi himself thought so too.
Because this Celtics team is quite restrained from the system, with Rondo and Tony Allen on the outside, Perkins and Wolf King on the inside, Pierce and Ray Allen on the offensive, as a "Komi", Lin Yi doesn't know what the Lakers used to win the Celtics. Maybe it would be better to let O'Neal's grandma replace Rivers to coach?
However, the Celtics are strong, and Lin Yi will not give up.
The first is to put your mind right.
The Knicks have to put themselves in the right position to have a chance at the next gram.
After all, for the Knicks, they have nothing to lose, and this is their greatest capital.
And their opponent, the Celtics, can't afford to lose a game.
……
D'Antoni communicated with Lin Yi in the training game before the game. Both the master and apprentice believed that if the Knicks want to create opportunities, they must first bring the rhythm and intensity of the game.
"Our advantage is that we are young, so Mr. Coach, you must increase the rotation in this series, otherwise we didn't kill the Celtics, but we would be embarrassed if we ran to the death first." Lin Yi joked.
D'Antoni also blushed, embarrassed, do you have the main force who loves to die so much?Because Lao De felt that he was still willing to give role players a chance!
Lin Yi smiled. It is true that D'Antoni is willing to give role players a chance, but that is based on the fact that the Knicks can lead by a large score. If the situation is stalemate, like the fourth game with the Heat, D'Antoni will definitely die.
In the future, Steve Kerr, who will really achieve the ultimate rotation, will be much shrewd in this regard. Of course, the Warriors' assistant coaches also contributed a lot.
Kerr's theory is simple. If you think about the series in the long run, even if you lose one or two games because of the rotation, you will have an advantage.
Because the playoffs are intense and costly, this is a bit like a high-grade horse against a medium-grade horse, a medium-grade horse against a low-grade horse, and a low-grade horse to compete with a high-grade horse.
So in this round of the series, the Knicks must rotate, because even if they are the main players, they are not as thick as the Celtics. If D'Antoni is really the main players, the Knicks have a high probability of being swept.
Lin Yi was not afraid that he would not be able to convince D'Antoni, because D'Antoni also felt that the Knicks' ability to reach the second round was enough, so Lao De was also willing to try Lin Yi's suggestion.
……
On April 4, the Knicks came to Boston one day earlier. This round of the series, the Knicks have no home court advantage. The Celtics are also home to the devil. The Celtics have a winning rate of 30% at home in the regular season this season, which is terrifying.
On May 5, at the TD North Shore Garden Arena, the Knicks and Celtics ushered in the first contest of this series.
There are not many players in this Knicks team who have experienced the playoffs. Harrington has followed the Warriors to complete the black eight. He is the most experienced player in the team. Before he is ready to play, Harrington has been doing ideological work for the young people in the locker room.
"Mike, I really didn't expect us to get to where we are today!" Knicks' third assistant coach Donaldson said a little excitedly before the game.
Isn't D'Antoni suppressing the excitement in his heart?
The Knicks were still doing badly last season, but this season they have leapt to become a powerhouse in the Eastern Conference.
It's really unbelievable to walk this way.
……
When the Knicks players set foot on the TD North Shore Garden Arena, the 17 championship banners hanging above the court are eye-catching.
If you look at the history of the NBA, the Celtics and Lakers are probably the real giants.
The legendary quarterback Tom Brady of the New England Patriots also came to the scene today. He is a fan of the Celtics.
Lin Yi took a deep breath. He is also human, so of course he would be nervous.
But more excited.
Look, that's Paul Pierce.
Look, that's Kevin Garnett.
Here!That's Ray Allen.
The serious version of the Big Three plus Long's guidance and Perkins is the Celtics' starting lineup tonight.
"I hope we can win an away game first, so that we can turn away from the guest." Lin Yi thought to himself while warming up.
……
PS: third more.
