The Knicks relied on defense to build a double-digit advantage in the first quarter, but this did not cause Rick Carlisle and the Mavericks to panic.

In the first game, they fell behind in the first quarter, but in the last three quarters of the game, they tried to catch the score back, and even reversed the game and won the first victory of the finals. , Also brought home advantage back to Dallas, so the Knicks players are the real psychological pressure today. If they still lose this game, then they will have to go to Dallas with a 0-2 score. This is definitely not the scene they want to see, they must be eager to win this game, otherwise they will really fall into the cliff!

For this reason, it is normal for the Knicks to lead, but if the Mavericks can catch up to the score in the second quarter, then in Rick Carlisle's view, the initiative of the whole situation will return to the hands of the Mavericks.

The reason is also very simple. Now the Knicks are under pressure. The Mavericks have no burden at all. They lost here and still have home court advantage!

With the stability of these old guys, it is impossible for them to waste these advantages bit by bit!

This is why after the Mavericks won the first game, most experts believed that they would have a chance to win. There is no way. These old guys will not easily miss if they bite the big difference...

What Rick Carlisle did not expect was that he originally thought the Mavericks would rebound strongly in the second quarter tonight like the first game. Instead, the Knicks started with a strong defense in the first quarter. In the second quarter, they were also very tough. They continued to restrict the Mavericks with this defense. Not only did the Mavericks fail to narrow the point difference in the second quarter, they were also widened by the Knicks. The halftime was over. The Mavericks are 15 points behind.

Yi Jianlian did nothing in the first half and spent all his energy on the offense. He scored a total of 25 points in the first half. Yi Jianlian basically attacked directly with the ball, no matter what he was standing in front of him was a defensive player. Two defenders, or three defenders, the only thing left in his eyes after he gets the ball is the basket!

It is also this kind of complete disregard for other offenses that makes everyone aware of Yi Jianlian's fear.

"This guy is definitely not human!"

During the intermission, Dwyane Wade, who watched the game, expressed his surprise and admiration through Twitter. He was not hostile to Yi Jianlian because Yi Jianlian eliminated them in the semifinals. He and Yi Jianlian still Very good friends.

Moreover, this is not the first time for Dwyane Wade!

He has long been used to it!

"In the second half, I will try my best to attract you defensively. I hope you can attack boldly and don't care about others!"

In the Knicks locker room, Yi Jianlian was talking to the other players of the Knicks about the strategy in the second half. At this time, D'Antoni and the assistant coaching team were still discussing what tactics should be used in the second half, but it was Yi Jianlian who was talking. The players of the team listened very carefully.

Especially when Yi Jianlian didn't say a word in the first half, they are now anxious to hear Yi Jianlian speak as usual.

After all, this means that Yi Jianlian did not intend to alienate them.

Yi Jianlian said a lot, and the main meaning is very simple. He will change from a main attacker to an assister in the second half. He hopes that the entire team can strengthen individual shots.

Although he scored 25 points in the first half, he felt that the Mavericks' defensive intensity for him is gradually increasing. If he still goes offensive as he did in the first half and puts the defensive pressure on his teammates. , Yi Jianlian felt that he would get into the cage arranged by Rick Carlisle.

He decided to do the opposite.

He believes that his desperate desire to score points in the first half has definitely attracted Rick Carlisle's attention, and it is impossible for him to make any tactical adjustments.

Hope... Rick Carlisle can keep his elegant and easygoing in the second half.

***

Rick Carlisle is very angry now, especially angry.

He doesn't know how to express his emotions. If he can get a gun, he really wants to give Yi Jianlian a shot and kill this shameless guy!

You played so fiercely in the first half, and you didn't say a word after you scored a goal. It was like how much money you owed him. Now you continue to attack and pass three assists with your teammates. What does it mean?

Damn it!

Rick Carlisle cursed secretly again. While slandering Yi Jianlian in his heart, Yi Jianlian assisted his teammate to complete an offense.

The Mavericks' defense is completely messed up.

There is no way to avoid chaos. Rick Carlisle talked about how to defend Yi Jianlian for ten minutes of the 20-minute break. He almost said ten sets of defending Yi Jianlian’s lineup~lightnovelpub.net~ and this guy did not attack. Up!

Not only does he not attack, he also passes the ball!

You said, why is this guy so annoying?

Rick Carlisle gave his assistant coach a murderous look, and the latter smiled helplessly at him. He did not expect Yi Jianlian to become the organizer in the second half.

The score gap widened further. By the end of the third quarter, the Knicks were already leading by 20 points.

Due to the large difference in points, the two teams were a little unremarkable in the fourth quarter.

In the end, 103 to 87, the Knicks beat the Mavericks with 16 points at home, reported their revenge in the first loss of the finals, and tied the big score to 1-1!

Yi Jianlian scored 36 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists in this game. The whole game has not changed much from the first game. But they won this game easily, but they lost the last game.

And Stoudemire's performance in this game is not as good as the first, he only got 19 points and 14 rebounds.

But it is worth mentioning that he scored 15 of the 19 points in the second half. In the first half, Stoudemire put all his energy on the defensive end, and he got 3 blocks in total.

"This is how we win the game. It is not terrible to lose a game. As long as we believe that we can win, then we will definitely win, but one thing is very important, that is, we must believe that we can win!"

In the press conference after the game, Yi Jianlian faced reporters and his attitude towards the victory of the game was expected.

"As long as we can well accomplish the tasks we should accomplish on both offensive and defensive ends, like tonight, then we can win!"

D'Antoni is very excited. The Knicks' spirit tonight is really great!
