BXBX NOVEL Chapter 391: semi-final
Next is D\'Antoni\'s best coach award. He also won this honor with an overwhelming advantage this year, leading the Knicks to the league\'s first record, which also makes D\'Antoni well-deserved.
Although D\'Antoni had won this award as early as when he coached the Suns in the 2004-2005 season, D\'Antoni couldn\'t help but touch this "Cardinal" Reed Auerbach trophy again. Excited.
If the Most Valuable Player Award is the highest honor for a player; then the Best Coach Award is the highest honor for a head coach.
On the wooden base is a bench, on which sits the legendary NBA coach Reed Auerbach holding a victory cigar. Reed Auerbach’s face is full of calmness and confidence, as if there is no difficulty to make this The legendary coach faded.
D\'Antoni took the trophy handed over by the NBA officials very excitedly, and then excitedly said the acceptance speech he had prepared long ago.
After listening to D\'Antoni\'s acceptance speech, Lian Dao felt a little strange, because he found that the old man\'s acceptance speech was similar to his own.
In fact, this is normal. The acceptance speech is basically the same, thank the players, thank the management for their trust, thank the fans for their support, etc., and then make a brief summary of the previous season and look forward to the future. Basically it\'s pretty much the same.
Lian Dao reluctantly put the trophy into the locker.
This time, Lian Dao was really happy because he won the award from the bottom of his heart. The happiness brought by this sense of accomplishment even exceeds the happiness brought by completing system tasks.
When Lian Dao walked out of the tunnel, the Knicks audience shouted "MVP", "MVP", "MVP"...
Lian Dao was immersed in this great honor, and then waved his arms towards the fans in the auditorium, and the atmosphere at the scene reached its peak.
The summer in New York is coming, and the fans inside and outside the arena are as full of enthusiasm as the summer in New York.
In addition to TNT sending Barkley and Smith to commentate the game, CCTV will also broadcast the game.
Director Zhang and Yu Jia are still pairing up for commentary.
Before the start of the game, the two conducted a pre-match analysis.
"First of all, congratulations to Lian Dao for winning the Most Valuable Player Award. This is the highest honor our Chinese athletes have won in the NBA. It is not easy. I hope Lian Dao will get better and better."
"Director Zhang, some media in the United States are very optimistic that the Celtics will advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. What do you think about this?" Yu Jia started the opening, and then asked a question.
Director Zhang snorted coldly!
"The Celtics can\'t do it. Last season they had a hard time playing in the playoffs. This season their big three are one year older, and their strength is even worse than the Knicks. It is difficult for them to beat the Knicks!"
Mr. Zhang Lili bluntly said that the Rockets did not enter the playoffs, and the Knicks have gradually become the home team of all Chinese, including Director Zhang, who also regards the Knicks led by Lian Dao as the home team they support.
Although this is not in line with the position of a professional commentator, it can also be seen that Director Zhang is straightforward.
"Although the average age of the Celtics is relatively old, the lineup is luxurious enough. They have multiple All-Star players. Don\'t you think this luxurious lineup is an obstacle on the way forward for the Knicks?"
Since Director Zhang supports the Knicks, Yu Jia needs to create some sharp topics to attract fans to discuss.
But Director Zhang still shook his head and disagreed with Yu Jia\'s statement.
"In fact, the strength of a team does not depend on the stacking of superstars, but on the compatibility of a team."
"Are there few superstar-stacked teams in history? Let\'s just say that the Lakers in F4 back then had Payton, Karl Malone, O\'Neal, and Kobe. How luxurious it was. In the end, they were defeated by the civilian Pistons. Tiger?"
As soon as this remark came out, not only the fans in front of the TV nodded in agreement, but even Yu Jia nodded.
At this time, the main players of the two teams also appeared on the field one after another!
The starting players sent by the Knicks are: Holiday, Tony Allen, Lian Dao, Stoudemire, Cousins.
The starting players sent by the Celtics are: Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Garnett, Jermaine O\'Neal.
Shaquille O\'Neal, who was buzzing about before the game, will contribute in this game. Although Shaquille was seen on the bench, he did not enter the starting sequence.
Midfield jump ball, Jermaine O\'Neal and Cousins jumped at the same time to compete for the ball.
In the end, it was Cousins, a talented monster, who was even better.
In fact, O\'Neal was also a talent monster when he was young, but after O\'Neal suffered injuries in the past few years, his state has declined too seriously.
Especially this year, the state has encountered Waterloo. It can be said that Angie signed O\'Neal and made a loss-making deal.
Cousins, in his prime, helped the Knicks get the ball.
Cousins gave the basketball to Holiday.
Seeing this, Rajon Rondo immediately stepped forward to interfere.
From the very beginning, the Celtics put on a defensive posture to guard against death, which shows that they really want to win this game.
All the players of the Celtics are not young anymore, this is one of the few opportunities for them to attack the championship, and all the players of the Celtics don\'t want to give up.
Holiday nimbly avoided Rajon Rondo\'s interference, smoothly brought the ball across the half court, and then handed it to Lian Dao.
After receiving the ball, Lian Dao directly held the ball and launched an attack, which was extremely fierce.
Although Paul Pierce moved his feet to defend, Lian Dao\'s speed was too fast, like a gust of wind directly wiped Pierce\'s defense, Pierce did not keep up with Lian Dao\'s speed.
So, he yelled directly at Rondo beside him: "Rajon, make up, make up!"
In the Celtics\' main lineup, the only player who can keep up with Lian Dao is Rajon Rondo, and the speed of the other players is too slow.
But Lian Dao didn\'t think about rushing to the basket. When Rondo was assisting in defense, Lian Dao made an emergency stop and retreated, came back outside the three-point line, and shot!
At this time, Rondo wanted to make up the defense again, but found that it was a step too late, so he could only watch Lian Dao take a three-pointer.
"brush!"
Lian Dao\'s opening three-pointer gave the Celtics a blow!
At this time, the entire Madison Square Garden arena was boiling again.
Lian Dao looked towards the sidelines and saw the little senior sister holding up her own head, shouting excitedly.
Back on defense, Lian Dao also blew a kiss gesture towards the little senior sister.
The camera on the scene just pointed the lens at the little senior sister on the sidelines. This scene also made countless female fans yearn for it.
"Why, why, why isn\'t that woman me?"
The Celtics looked at Lian Dao\'s arrogant show of affection, which made them feel a little angry in an instant.
After serving the ball here, Rondo dribbled to the frontcourt.
Regardless of the star-studded Celtics team, Rondo is actually the team\'s commander.
Rondo methodically commanded his teammates to move from outside the three-point line.
Garnett raised the high position from the inside. Rondo used Garnett\'s high-quality screen to get rid of Holiday\'s defense, and then broke through the inside. Tony Allen had no choice but to move his feet to help defend.
And waiting for the opportunity, Rondo threw the ball behind his head to Ray Allen who was outside the three-point line.
The best thing about the Celtics is the cooperation between their players. They don\'t have to be too tacit.
After Ray Allen received the ball, he immediately made a three-pointer before Holiday made up the defense.
"brush!"
Jun Zilei\'s three parting was exceptionally early today. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
He really deserves to be the top three-point shooter in the league, and he is indeed very strong.
Both sides started the game with three-pointers, and the offensive end did not give in.
3:3!
The Knicks reorganized their offense, and Lian Dao observed the situation on the field while dribbling.
He didn\'t rush to attack this time, the sudden blow could take effect for the first time, and then the Celtics would have more defenses.
Paul Pierce is a very tough defender. Although the 33-year-old Paul Pierce has slowed down a lot, his defense has not regressed much. On the offensive end, Paul Pierce is still the Celtics outside. Consistent scorer.
While putting pressure on Lian Dao, he kept spouting trash talk.
