after returning from the timeout, the Bucks directly gave up on Wilson Chandler and switched to double-teaming Lian Dao.
And Chandler, who has adapted to the rhythm of the court, is constantly firing from the outside at this time.
With 1:24 left in the first quarter, Chandler made 2 of 3 three-pointers.
A wave of 6:2 was played.
At the end of the first quarter, at 22:42, the Knicks led by 20 points.
The fans at the scene looked at the score on the statistics board and exclaimed, followed by fierce cheers.
Leading by 20 points in a single quarter was beyond everyone's expectations.
At the end of the first quarter, Lian Dao scored 20 points, 6 assists and 3 rebounds. His personal scoring almost caught up with the Bucks' team scoring, and his efficiency was astonishing.
"Kenny, this is the Bucks you are optimistic about. Oh, they are 20 points behind the Knicks in a single quarter." Barkley said at this time.
"The Bucks probably didn't expect Sickle to develop a mid-range shot. Their preparations are still insufficient, and they still lack experience in the playoffs." Kenny Smith shook his head helplessly at this time.
"Kenny, many Knicks players are entering the playoffs for the first time. You can't make excuses about the playoff experience." Barkley obviously didn't want to let it go, and used to tease his old buddy.
"Well, well, I admit that the Knicks are better, and they are more adaptable to the playoffs than the Bucks."
"But, Charles, you know, the playoffs are not a showdown."
"Is Liantao's middle distance too accurate?"
"Lian Dao's middle distance is a bit like Joe's gang leader!"
"Yes, I also discovered it, especially the fadeaway jumper against the Bucks' No. 2 position. It's so similar."
"I thought Kobe's fadeaway jumper was the closest to the **** of basketball, but I didn't expect Lian Dao's fadeaway jumper to be like a replica!"
On domestic live broadcast platforms, fans were all exclaiming for the Knicks' wonderful first quarter.
The fans at the scene were also in high spirits. Although the fans believed that the Bucks would not be the Knicks' opponents, they did not expect to lead by 20 points in a single quarter of the playoffs.
Lian Dao did not play at the beginning of the second quarter, and Holiday and Millsap led the bench on the court.
The Bucks did not replace Bogut, only one of their main players was replaced.
However, the imposing Knicks did not give the Bucks a chance to chase points.
On the contrary, every Knicks player on the court did his best to defend well and did not give the Bucks any chance.
The Bucks should keep their main players on the court in the second quarter, just to chase points when Lian Dao is off the court.
However, the score has not been narrowed for a long time.
Impatient emotions rose in the hearts of all the Bucks players on the field.
Soon, the Bucks players were blocked again.
Millsap completed the steal on Bogut again.
After completing the steal, Holiday was about to catch the ball and quickly put it down. Millsap was just about to pass the ball, but was directly knocked down by Bogut from behind with a chokehold.
"Beep beep beep!
! "The referee immediately blew his whistle to signal a foul.
After getting up, Millsap was about to rush towards Bogut.
Right spray!
"You trash, do you still want to lie down and leave the court?"
"Come on, I promise you will definitely lie down and leave this time."
Milicic, Gallinari, Jennings and others all surrounded him.
"Beep beep!"
The referee quickly separated the two teams at this time, and then kept warning both sides not to make trouble.
The referee just gave Bogut a common foul.
After Millsap got up, he still retained the last sliver of reason. He didn't punch Bogut, but just scolded him.
Such conflicts are basically commonplace in the playoffs.
The referee only called Bogut an ordinary foul, but this obviously couldn't make the fans vent their anger, so the audience boos the loudest!
Lian Dao also stood up off the court, but did not rush to the court.
The Bucks are weaker than the Knicks, and Lian Dao rushing to the court will only escalate the conflict, and this is what the Bucks want to see.
This conflict also made the actions of the two teams bigger and bigger.
The Knicks' players also began to feel less comfortable under high-intensity confrontation.
The Bucks used their inside advantage to continue chasing points.
When the score was within 10 points, D'Antoni immediately became nervous.
The second quarter is now halfway through.
He sent Lian Dao, David Lee and Chandler three main players on the field.
Then replace Millsap and Holiday.
Substitute David Lee and Chris Duhon.
Lian Dao's first goal after coming on the court changed direction and passed Carlos Delfino in one step!
Carlos Delfino has tried his best to defend, but he just can't prevent Lian Dao's breakthrough.
Lian Dao grabbed the ball and headed for the three-second zone.
Take three steps!
Bogut is waiting to avenge the regular season.
He directly greeted him with open arms!
air!
Lian Dao and Bogut collided directly!
"bump!"
Lian Dao smashed the ball into the basket through Bogut!
The rim was dunked by Lian Dao's gravity and was crumbling.
Bogut was knocked down to the floor by Lian Dao.
The ball should have been 2+1, but the referee didn't blow it.
D'Antoni also yelled at the referee on the sidelines, indicating that the ball was fouled.
Lian Dao didn't care whether the referee whistled or not, he immediately returned to defense.
At this time, Jennings has already killed to the inside with the help of the pick and roll.
At the moment when Jennings passed Gallinari and completed a layup, Lian Dao arrived in time, a peg board cap pressed the basketball on the backboard, and then grabbed it down.
"Nice job!"
"Pegboard hat!"
"sickle's help defense is too fast!"
"Attack and defense in one!
The atmosphere of Madison Square Garden was once again brought to a climax by Lian Dao.
Lian Dao didn't stop, and after getting the rebound, he quickly handed the ball to Chris Duhon to advance.
Chris Duhon advances upfield and then passes to Chandler, who is going down with him.
Chandler made a three-pointer from the outside and the basketball hit the rim.
David Lee took the offensive rebound one step ahead of Bogut.
After getting the offensive rebound, David Lee immediately threw the ball outside the three-point line.
And Lian Dao just arrived at this time.
Facing Carlos Delfino, Lian Dao did not pause at all, making an emergency stop for a three-pointer from the outside!
Lian Dao's height and wingspan are too advantageous, Carlos Delfino did not cause too much interference to Lian Dao's shot.
A very beautiful arc!
The three-pointer went straight to the basket!
"brush!"
41:54.
After Lian Dao played, he scored 5 points in a row and immediately helped the Knicks stabilize the situation.
And re-extended the lead to 13 points.
"Sickle!
The fans at the scene immediately gave warm cheers.
Bucks coach Scott Skiles was anxious on the sidelines.
The Knicks are too strong.
The Bucks' movement speed is not suitable for this rhythm at all, they are suitable for positional warfare and defense.
But the Bucks' defense didn't work for the Knicks.
Their outside line was sieved by Lian Dao.
On the offensive end, the Knicks handed the ball to Lian Dao, and other players opened up space for Lian Dao in singles.
On the defensive end, everyone played their lives together.
The Bucks attack.
Jennings is still holding the ball.
Chris Duhon is still defending Jennings' left breakthrough. As long as Jennings doesn't develop a right hand, he will always be targeted for this.
Especially in the face of Chris Duhon, who is experienced in defense, Jennings has no chance of breakthrough at all.
Can only give the ball to John Salmons.
John Salmons is a spot-up shooter who can only shoot three-pointers, rarely breaks through or draws fouls; can handle the ball and help organize on the wing; rebounds poorly, has a strong body, and can defend well.
John Salmons also used Ersan Yinlyasova's outside screen to make a three-pointer.
David Lee's supplementary defense was a step slower.
"brush!"
44:54.
David Lee waved to his teammates, indicating that he was responsible for the ball.
Lian Dao didn't blame David Li Bufang for taking a step too late.
Knicks attack.
Chris Duhon dribbled the ball across half court, then handed the ball to Lian Dao.
After receiving the pass, Lian Dao used David Lee's pick-and-roll to shoot from a distance of two meters beyond the three-point line.
The 97-point three-pointer ~www.mtlnovel.com~ gave Lian Dao enough confidence in the outside line.
This distance is also within the range of Lian Dao.
During the regular season, Lian Dao also often made ultrlong three-pointers.
But this is the playoffs!
Many people exclaimed about Lian Dao's big heart.
D'Antoni did not question Lian Dao's shooting method because it was the playoffs.
If D'Antoni were to name the Knicks' most mature player, then D'Antoni would definitely choose Lian Dao.
Because in D'Antoni's view, the ultrlong three-pointer is Lian Dao's conventional weapon.
Amidst the exclamation of the fans in the audience, the basketball draws a beautiful arc!
"Shua!"
Walk through Yang with a hundred steps - sure!
