Chapter 577: Can we become friends?
【NBA: No. 1 Forward】【】
Receiving the ball outside the three-point line is still the previous position on the left wing.
Lift the ball to the front of the forehead and pause, while stretching the lower limbs and stretching the arms at the same time to complete the stretching...
Just as he was about to complete the shot, Holiday blocked the defense.
This made Paul George panic, and the shooting action in his hand was a little deformed.
But he still chose to shoot.
Now Paul George's shot is somewhat imitating Kobe, with a high shot point.
Although Holiday took off to block the shot, he didn't touch the basketball.
However, Paul George is only a second-year rookie after all, and he is easily disturbed.
The deformation of the shooting action is also destined to make it impossible to hit the ball. Sure enough...
"when!"
The basketball that George shot ended up hitting the basket.
Lian Dao jumped up vigorously, pocketed the rebound first, turned around and passed a long pass to Holiday who was about to come down.
The Pacers hadn't reacted yet, and even Hibbert had just run over and hadn't gotten a moment's breath.
Holiday has already reached the empty Pacers basket with the ball in the counterattack.
Take off, dunk!
11 points!
Holiday scored a dunk this time, and the game officially entered garbage time.
Vogel called the last timeout, replaced all the main players, and announced his surrender.
Seeing this, D'Antoni also replaced the main players.
In this game, it's the second time to enter garbage time!
"40 points, 11 rebounds and 14 assists, incredible!"
"This should be Sickle's first time scoring 40 in this playoffs, right? And it's still a 40-point triple-double!"
Mike Breen said with the data of Lian Dao.
"I can't help it. Since entering the playoffs, only today's sickle is not counted as a three-quarter punch!"
Little Van Gundy spread his hands and said helplessly.
The opponent's strength is not good, the key is that this guy is not a person who likes to brush data in garbage time.
This caused his data to decline seriously compared to the last two playoffs.
Fortunately, Lian Dao is not a player who values statistics too much.
As long as the team can defend the title, he would rather sacrifice some data and give the garbage time to D'Antoni for training.
In less than a minute, it was fleeting, and there was no accident in the end.
The electronic buzzer sounded, the game ended, and the final score was fixed at 112:103.
The New York Knicks defeated the Pacers again with a 9-point advantage at home and won six consecutive playoff games.
At this point, the Pacers are 0:2 behind the Knicks.
Danny Granger glanced at the man who was embracing and celebrating with his teammates on the sidelines.
Immediately, he rejected all reporters' interviews, turned around and walked towards the player tunnel.
These were the two games that Granger felt the most humiliating. He was beaten by Lian Dao on both offense and defense.
And Madison Garden has completely become Granger's sad place.
Even if he stays in this arena for a second, it feels like suffering.
Paul George sat on the floor in frustration, he hadn't recovered from the three-pointer loss just now.
Neither teammates nor the head coach blamed him for missing that crucial 3-pointer.
But this made Paul George feel more self-blame.

He hates that his psychological quality at critical moments is not up to standard, and he hates that he is not strong enough.
"If the strength is stronger, if my breakthrough with the ball is good enough, if I hit that three-pointer..."
George lowered his head in frustration, no ifs, no restarts.
Time will not turn back, failure is failure, whether he wants to or not, he must accept this fact!
Paul George didn't walk down the tunnel, he waited for the final handshake.
Seeing the man who beat his team approaching, George had mixed feelings.
The two big hands were tightly held together.
"You are really sickle, you beat us, I..."
Paul George originally wanted to say "I will not admit defeat", but facing the powerful Lian Dao, he couldn't say anything harsh.
Lian Dao seemed to know what George wanted to say, and also knew how George was feeling right now.
He smiled and gave George a hug.
"Paul, everyone will experience the pain of failure, but I believe you can come out of the pain and become stronger!"
Lian Dao really appreciates George, both in his previous life and now.
Therefore, Lian Dao didn't want to cast any shadow on this talented player because of one round of competition.
"Can I be as strong as you?"
"Of course, I believe you can, but why must you be as powerful as me?"
Lian Dao is a little puzzled, isn't your idol the snake in Los Angeles?
"Because you are the strongest opponent I have ever met, and I want to beat you!"
George said seriously.
"Come on, I'm waiting for your challenge!"
Lian Dao smiled, he likes George's character, and at the same time, he doesn't mind having one or two more opponents.
Only the strength of the opponent can bring out the greatness of oneself, isn't it? !
"Can we become friends?"
Paul George asked with some embarrassment.
"We're already friends, aren't we?"
Lian Dao said with a smile, and George also smiled.
There was another hug between the two.
The live camera also recorded this classic scene.
Friendships between men are sometimes as simple as that.
It is difficult to win against an opponent at chess, but dare not be arrogant when you meet a good general!
Although George's current strength has not yet reached the level of matching opponents, George's strength in the future will not be weak.
…
After the second game of the Eastern Conference semifinals, Lian Dao not only won the MVP trophy, but also defeated the Pacers again that night.
It can be said that he is now a double happiness, and he is proud of the spring breeze!
But in contrast, the Heat are not as lucky as the Knicks.
They're in trouble, and to be precise, their team is in trouble.
In the other round of the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Heat played against the Celtics in Game 1.
Bosh was on a dunk shortly before halftime, causing an abdominal muscle strain and leaving the game.
Regarding Bosh's injury, the Heat fans were very speechless as a whole. No one fouled them, but they injured a general.
However, fortunately, the Heat did not lose in the game that night.
James was forced to move to the fourth position. He played 43 minutes and scored 32 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists.

Bosh's injury also caused Wade to increase his playing time. In the end, Wade played 40 minutes and scored 29 points and 4 assists.
Relying on the strong performance of James and Wade, the Heat finally won the game 96:92 without any risk.
Before the start of g2, the Heat management announced that Bosh will miss the next game, and it is unknown when he will return.
In the g2 game, the Celtics took advantage of the heat to kill the Heat.
They continue to attack the basket and play Garnett's Willie under the basket.
At the same time, continue to shrink the line of defense to prevent James from breaking through the basket.
On the offensive end, in this game, Rajon Rondo exploded, and he actually shot 12 of 19 shots.
The audience scored 32 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists, while Garnett also scored 22 points and 11 rebounds.
With the lack of Bosh, the Heat's offensive quality in the g2 game was extremely poor, and the whole game was spent under the pressure of the Celtics.
[To be honest, I have recently followed up, changed sources, and read aloud with a lot of timbre~www.mtlnovel.com~Android and Apple are both available. 】
Without Bosh, the Heat's pick-and-roll quality dropped significantly.
There was also a problem with the firepower connection between the first team and the second team.
Although James still scored 32 points and 9 rebounds vigorously, Wade also scored 24 points and 6 rebounds.
It can be said that they have exerted their super personal abilities to the extreme, but they still cannot reverse the situation.
Except for James and Wade, the other players in the Heat have a depressed temperament, and no player can score in double figures.
In the end, the Heat lost the second game 75:99.
The performance of the Heat also made the media and fans worry that the Heat would not be able to pass the Celtics.
There are even rumors that the Heat have begun planning to split the Big Three once they are eliminated by the Celtics.
James' face was gloomy after the game. In the past few days, he has been thinking about Lian Dao and the Eastern Conference Finals.
But today, James suddenly discovered that without Bosh, whether he can pass the Eastern Conference semifinals is still a question!
Lian Dao also watched the game today. Although the Celtics are a little older, their overall strength is not weak.
Rondo's strength has also become stronger, and his strength is much stronger than last season.
Especially in these two games against the Heat, Rondo's performance is absolutely remarkable.
The first game had 16 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists, and the second game had 32 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists.
During the match against the Heat, Rondo's average field goal percentage was around 51%, especially the Celtics were orderly on both ends of the offense and defense under his combing.
It can be seen that the Celtics' second victory was not all about taking advantage of others, they still have a strong strength!
