NBA: No. 1 Forward-Chapter 570: The opponent is strong
【NBA: No. 1 Forward】【】
If the Pacers shot was not Stephen Jackson, O'Neal Jr.
It wasn't Artest who hit the fans, but the team's drinking fountain players.
That would make a big difference.
You must know that year was the peak period of this group of players.
And a field fight completely ruined the future of this team, and after that, several people went their separate ways.

But this also gave some warnings to other teams.
Some playoff teams usually have one or two thugs, or players who do dirty work.
The Spurs had the most back then, and the Knicks are not lacking now.
The Pacers want to play well, and the Knicks accompany them; they want to play hooligans, and the Knicks also have countermeasures!
…
Today's D'Antoni consciously hid Millsap and Cousins ??in the snow, and he is going to let these two take on big responsibilities in the next game.
Originally, D'Antoni wanted Lian Dao to rest for a period of time, but Lian Dao did not agree.
He is not on the court. Once the opponent is playing well, it will take more energy to press down in the second half.
The loss outweighs the gain!
Moreover, Lian Dao knew that only when the other party was convinced, they would not dare to use dirty tricks.
Since the opponent made a stumbling block, Lian Dao no longer rushed to the basket, but used shooting to resolve the battle.
Especially his signature step-back three-pointer and fadeaway jumper, which made Granger and Paul George dizzy.
Even, near the end of the second quarter, Lian Dao once played without the ball.
Running through to the basket, he received a pass from Holiday and dunked in the air.
Teammate outside screens, catches the ball and makes a three-point shot...
On the defensive end, the combination of Lian Dao and Whiteside had an unexpected effect.
Especially since both are gibbons, and Whiteside has a height advantage.
These two guarding the basket really seemed to block out the sun.
The Pacers players couldn't attack at all when their own condition was not good.
Before the end of the first half, Whiteside and Lian Dao each had a big cap.
62:44!
At halftime, the Knicks lead by 18 points!
Lian Dao's statistics in the first half are still very good, with 27 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists.
Especially in the second quarter without the ball, his scoring ability was released.
Running without the ball penetrated the Pacers' defense one after another and scored the ball.
Paul George was in a depressed mood at the end of the halftime. He didn't know why his team played so aggrieved today?
"It shouldn't be like this!"
Paul George yelled in his heart!
When they face the Heat in the regular season, they often still have some advantages.
But now against the Knicks, why has it become so unbearable? Is the defending champion really that powerful?
In terms of strength, the Knicks and the Heat are actually on par.
However, the Knicks' lineup, or player configuration, is somewhat restrained by the Pacers.
Especially their big center Hibbert, he did not show his real defensive strength in the first quarter and the first half of the second quarter.

Every time he was either pulled out of the basket by Cousins, or pulled out of the basket by Millsap.
And he is a heavy center with a slow moving speed, so once he is pulled out of the basket, his ability to assist defense and make up defense will drop seriously.
It wasn't until Cousins ??took a break in the rotation that Hibbert's deterrence at the basket really came into play.
This is why the Knicks did not extend their lead to 20 points at the end of the second quarter.
In the second half, although Cousins ??still did not come back, the Knicks' offensive did not stop.
The main reason is that their rebounding in the second half was much better than in the first half. With Lian Dao and Hassan guarding the basket, even Hibbert was not good.
Hassan is more flexible than Hibbert, and this guy's sense of rebounding is also very good.
And D'Antoni said when he let him play, he doesn't need him to score, he only needs to defend and rebound.
If the opponent makes a mess, Hassan can also act as a thug.
Therefore, the Pacers' rebounds dropped severely, and their offensive efficiency was very low, and the score was pulled away unconsciously.
Although the Pacers wanted to turn their faces and push the table to play rogue several times throughout the game.
It's a pity that their fists were not as big as the Knicks', and they quickly retreated under the confrontation.
In the end, the game ended with a score of 108:86.
The Knicks beat the Pacers by a big score at home.
A beating group of Indiana players couldn't find their rhythm until the end of the game. I can't even figure out how I died.
They were passively beaten under the Knicks' offensive and defensive rhythm.
This feeling of being powerless to fight back makes the Pacers players have the urge to vomit blood!
Lian Dao likes this kind of rhythm game more and more. He doesn't need to fight hard all the time, and his teammates can give him support on the offensive and defensive ends.
This made Lian Dao feel very relaxed after a game.
In the playoffs, to the end, what is the fight, the strength of the stars, and the depth of the lineup.
At the same time, it is also about the physical fitness of the players!
If the Knicks can maintain this state, they are likely to directly sweep the Pacers to advance.
In this way, in the Eastern Conference finals, they can also have more physical advantages facing the Heat.
Although his data is not as explosive as the playoffs of the previous two seasons.
However, he made 13 of 20 shots and 9 of 10 free throws. He also scored 38 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists in a triple-double.
Especially in the face of the Pacers with excellent defense in the league, Lian Dao's scoring efficiency is the most praiseworthy.
Post-match press conference.
"Did we play easily? I don't think the opponent's strength is still very good, but we have more experience!"
"Danny and Paul put a lot of pressure on me on the defensive end, they are both very good players!"
"What are you talking about, Danny made 1 of 10 shots?! Oh, it's normal, you know, it's impossible for every player to be at his best every game!"
"Danny, it's just that I haven't found the status!"
When Lian Dao was interviewed by reporters after the game, those who didn't know thought it was what the opposing coach Vogel said.
Lian Dao praised his opponent all the time, but didn't mention a word about his outstanding performance.

But what Lian Dao said was not all lies.
The Pacers are indeed capable, but this is the first time they have played against each other in the playoffs. The Pacers don't understand the Knicks' game rhythm.
Moreover, their playoff experience is not as rich as the Knicks.
However, with the next match between the two teams, the Pacers will gradually adapt to this, and the Pacers will be difficult to deal with at that time.
But the reporters off the field only saw Lian Dao defending his opponent, so they were full of black lines.
Reporter: You are so good at speaking for the Pacers, why don't you go to the Pacers?
This group of reporters felt that Lian Dao's words were impeccable, and it was really difficult to deal with.
Don't feel that Lian Dao is very black-bellied, he has been a human being in two lives, he has experienced too many ways of the world.
Moreover, he has also seen too many experiences where he was complacent about his achievements, and fell into the abyss after talking nonsense.
The Knicks are already the winners in this game, there is no need to belittle the opponent from the perspective of the winner.
Belittling your opponent can only mean that your victory has low gold content!
"Do you think the Knicks can sweep to the Finals again?"
"This can only be left to time. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com After all, this is the first game, isn't it? The final result of the game is the answer."
Reporters once again had black lines all over their heads.
Listening to what you have to say is better than listening to what you have to say!
Isn't it the same as if you didn't say it?
However, Lian Dao was not in the mood to listen to the reporters, he had already answered three questions.
According to regulations, Lian Dao could leave the media reception room, so he turned his head and left the press conference.
The reporters looked at each other and felt very helpless. Who would let someone else's cafe stand here!
…
After the Knicks game, the league announced the 2011-12 All-Rookie Team.
Among them is the best rookie Kyrie Irving.
Ricky Rubio, Kenneth Faried, Klay Thompson, Inman Shumpert, Kawhi Leonard, and Brandon Knight were selected to the first team.
Since the league established the rookie lineup award in the 1962-63 season.

In the past 50 years, there have been 4 times when 2 people tied the vote and 6 people were selected.
nba also announced another honor, that is the best manager of the year award.
However, the recipient of this honor is rather embarrassing.
That honor went to Indiana Pacers general manager Larry Bird.
The first generation of "Forcing King" has thus become the first person in history to win the four major awards of regular season mvp, finals mvp, best coach of the year and best general manager.
