Chapter 250: Eastern Conference Championship
"Kevin? Are you serious? You know I\'m not as easy to deal with as No. 23. If you deal with me in the same way you deal with No. 23, I want to believe that in this Eastern Conference finals, I will definitely leave you one deep impression!"
"Hahaha, of course we won\'t deal with you the way we dealt with No. 23, you deserve better!"
"Damn!" This was the first word Lian Dao blurted out when he saw Garnett replying to the text message.
This guy, depending on the situation, is determined to eat himself, interesting!
However, Garnett, who was on the other side of the phone, shook his wine glass, looked at the text message Lian Dao sent him, and smiled.
Garnett is really not afraid of the Knicks.
They just eliminated the Cavaliers teamed up by the Little Emperor and the Sharks 4:2, and they are currently gaining momentum. They are facing the Knicks, who entered the Eastern Conference finals for the first time, and the whole team is full of confidence.
Garnett predicted that the game against the Knicks will basically be the same as the Cavaliers.
Although the Knicks eliminated the Magic, it was mainly because no one in the third position of the Magic could restrain Lian Dao. It can be said that the Knicks\' tactical arrangements in the last few games were very restrained by the Magic.
Similarly, the Celtics lineup is also very restrained Knicks.
First of all, in the fourth position, neither Millsap nor David Lee will be his opponent, and in the fourth position, he is not like Lewis, without the slightest defense and confrontation.
And on the fifth position, whether it\'s Kendrick Perkins or Rasheed Wallace, their defense can make the Knicks\' players in the fifth position drink a pot.
Although Rasheed Wallace is 35 years old, he still has fuel in his fuel tank. As one of the best inside defensive gates in the league that year, I believe his performance will definitely surprise the Knicks.
The most important thing is that it is impossible for Lian Dao to go to the fourth and fifth positions this time. Pierce has the ability to contain Lian Dao\'s defense...
On the offensive end, the Celtics, who have a more reasonable internal and external ratio, are not afraid of confrontation.
Thinking of this, Garnett also showed a smug smile.
…
Early the next morning, Millsap, who had just walked into the Madison Square Garden training facility, saw Lian Dao, who was covered in sweat and was shooting.
Looking at Lian Dao, who was panting heavily, Millsap estimated that this guy had been practicing for a long time.
Look at the clock in the training hall, it was just 7 o\'clock in the morning, this guy must have come to the training hall at 5 o\'clock!
"It really deserves to be a mouse in the training hall, a masochist!" Millsap couldn\'t help but secretly stunned in his heart.
You must know that the two of them played games until 12 o\'clock in the evening last night, and Lian Dao was able to get up for training at 5 o\'clock normally today. This kind of perseverance has already made Millsap admire.
"Boss, you are not happy because you lost the game yesterday, right? As for? Isn\'t it just kneeling for 4 games in a row?"
"Fuck!" Lian Dao, who was shooting a basketball, really wanted to smash the basketball in Millsap\'s face, what the **** is which pot does not open and which pot to lift!
If it weren\'t for the fact that Millsap called him boss, he would have thrown the basketball over.
This guy doesn\'t know what happened all of a sudden, he seems to be crazy, he insists on teaming up with Lian Dao to play LOL, but this guy Millsap is really picky, manipulating Ashe to keep sending heads to the opponent, the good guy is obviously The 5V5 game abruptly makes Lian Dao feel like 4V6.
The point is, this guy Millsap doesn\'t know his skills, he insists on playing four games with Lian Dao, and at the same time kneels four games in a row.
In the end, Lian Dao didn\'t have much interest in playing games anymore.
"What\'s the matter, are you still angry with last night\'s game?" Millsap put on his training uniform, put on his basketball shoes, and walked out, exercising all his muscles, doing preparation work.
"Paul, our opponents in the Eastern Conference Finals are a bit arrogant, shouldn\'t we let them get to know us again!"
Hearing what Lian Dao said, Millsap also became serious.
"Why, have you thought of a good way to deal with the Celtics? You know, those old guys are not easy to deal with!"
Lian Dao sat on the bench with Millsap on the sidelines. The two talked, laughed, sometimes thought hard, and sometimes gave each other high-fives. Those who didn\'t know thought that the two of them were out of their minds.
…
"Knicks VS Celtics, dark horses of the season VS traditional powerhouses!"
"Liandao VS Big Three! The battle between the old and the new!"
"Champions of the Eastern Conference!"
"The Celtics eliminated the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Big Three made a comeback. Will Lian Dao be able to climb the last mountain in the East!"
With the approach of the Eastern Conference Finals, the preheating of the game by the major media is also constantly rising.
You know, the Big Three have just eliminated James, and they want to see if Lian Dao can overcome the nightmare that has haunted James for many years!
The Cavaliers\' first exit also attracted greater media hype.
"James has not ascended the throne, and there are new pursuers below!"
"The Cavaliers with the best record in the league stopped in the Eastern Conference semifinals. This has to be said to be a kind of irony!"
"Support the Knicks, be optimistic about Lian Dao, come on!
"
"It\'s interesting this time, Lian Dao is playing against the Big Three, but why do I feel that the Knicks are a bit dangerous!"
Domestic support for this game is more for Lian Dao, but there are also some people who analyze the overall strength of the team and are more optimistic about the Celtics\' advancement to the finals!
However, there are still a large number of diehard fans who choose to support the Knicks unconditionally.
Recently, some media have also calculated the average technical data of Lian Dao in the first two rounds of the playoffs.
Lian Dao averaged 40.3 points, 10.5 rebounds and 9.8 assists per game in the first two rounds. As soon as this data came out, it also caused a great shock in the league.
You know, this is the playoffs, and this is not the possibility of collecting statistics in the regular season.
Moreover, Lian Dao\'s playoff data is better than that of the regular season. Many stars played superbly in the regular season, but they failed in the playoffs. After the defense came up, they began to stretch their hips.
This is also the key to testing the quality of a superstar, which is also the reason why many media recently put Lian Dao in the ranks of superstars, and no one objected.
Strength is justice!
"This kid\'s strength really shouldn\'t be underestimated. It\'s too exaggerated! 40.3 points, 10.5 rebounds and 9.8 assists, he averaged a triple-double in the playoffs, a proper superstar! It seems that Michael has never achieved it!" Pierce held a newspaper in his hand, his face full of disbelief.
"Well, even Michael Jordan back then averaged only 33.4 per game. This kid is a monster. If this kid hadn\'t met the more famous James, if he hadn\'t been a rookie this year, maybe he would have been this year\'s MVP. .”
"The Cavaliers with the first record in the league have added a lot of points to James. It is said that James\' Nike executives also seem to be involved. It is a pity that he signed with their domestic brand, and the influence is indeed Not as good as Nike, but I think the design of the shoes is really good!"
Garnett chatted with Pierce while bench-pressing.
"Do you think the Knicks can stop us? You know, they played very well against the Magic in the last round, especially the game in G3, the crazy state, to be honest, I can\'t guarantee it will be able to." Limit him, he is too dominant on both ends of the offense and defense!"
"Even LeBron didn\'t give me the feeling of being invincible. Although LeBron is very strong, he still has shortcomings. Rough technique is LeBron\'s biggest problem now. However, in the Knicks No. 1 body , I haven\'t found any shortcomings in him until now."
"Before the playoffs started, his mid-range shooting was his biggest shortcoming, but...you will see it in the next game!" Speaking of this, Pierce also shrugged helplessly.
Garnett motioned to his assistant to take the barbell from his hand, then stood up, wiped the sweat from his head with a towel, and nodded seriously.
"Yes, the terrible thing about this guy is that he has no obvious shortcomings. In fact, he still has shortcomings. His offensive method at the basket is very simple. Although he can have big dream steps, it is very rough, but the Knicks are fast. Offense hides his shortcoming, because he rarely comes to the basket for positional warfare."
"Even in a positional battle, he still chooses a position close to the basket, and chooses a mid-range fadeaway jumper. His move is actually the most difficult to defend. The Magic actually died in this respect!"
