Lin Long's slam dunk ignited the Celtics 'morale.
In the remaining time of the first quarter, they made consecutive shots and played many brilliant rounds. They gradually took the initiative of the game.
On the other hand, the Knicks seemed to have lost their souls. Whether it was Oakley and Ewing on the inside or Charlie Ward and Alan Houston on the outside, they had completely lost their fighting spirit and aim. They kept missing shots.
Helpless, Van Gundy could only wave his hand and directly do a five-up and five-down, letting the team's best sixth man, Starks, continue to fight with four rotation players.
Fortunately, Starks, who had a somewhat generous temperament, was very smooth today. After playing, he scored three points in a row, which was considered to stabilize the situation for the Knicks.
Lin Long played the entire first quarter of the game. He contributed several exciting rounds that were enough to enter the best round of the year.
He scored 16 points and 5 rebounded in a single quarter.
The Celtics also ended the first quarter with a 29 - 22 lead of seven points.
This was the result of Starks hitting three three-pointers in a single quarter. As long as Starks did not score a single goal, the score would definitely reach double digits.
In the second quarter, Lin Long and the others went to rest while Walker went on.
The New York Knicks continued to let Starks lead the team.
So the match became Starks versus Antoine Walker!
Although the two players did not match up, they were still playing one after another on the court. They had a lot of fun playing. Although both of them had good efficiency, they could not help the team change the score and the situation on the court.
Halfway through the second quarter, the Celtics were still leading by 44:37, with a seven-point lead, unchanged from the end of the first quarter.
At this time, Van Gundy finally gave Ewing and the others enough chicken soup to get a few starting players back on the field.
Auerbach also waved his hand, and Lin Long and Billups joined forces again.
Linlong looked at Oakley and Ewing and said calmly,""Did you two offend Van Gundy? Did you sleep with his wife or daughter?"
"What did you say?"
Oakley's eyes were wide with anger. This was the first time he had seen someone who dared to provoke him and Ewing at the same time!
Well…Jordan did it too.
However, Jordan and Oakley had a good relationship. They had been teammates for three years, so they could not be counted.
"If he's not, why does he always let you fight with me?" Linlong shrugged. I thought this was revenge!"
" Hmph!" Oakley snorted." Kid, do you think you're all that just because you dunked a few times and scored a few shots? I'll teach you how to be a human!"
"If I remember correctly, you said that during the opening match!" Linlong laughed. But I haven't learned anything about being a human.”
The two of them could not continue their verbal argument because Walker suddenly walked over and acted like a boss."What's wrong, Lin? Are these two idiots looking for trouble with you? Do you need me to teach them a lesson?"
Oakley's face turned completely gloomy.""Get lost, Fatty! Who do you think you are? Are you even worthy of teaching us a lesson?"
Oakley's words were direct and unpleasant. Walker, who had a strong sense of pride, immediately changed his expression. He clenched his fists and said,
"Give me the ball later! I want to teach these barking dogs a lesson!”
Lin Long did not object. As long as he did not touch the bottom line, he was too lazy to fight for the team's boss.
Lin Long began to pull his position towards the outside, leaving space and the inside to Walker.
The sullen Oakley saw Linlong being dragged out and no longer attacking. He did not find a chance to attack Linlong for a while, so he turned his target to Walker!
During Walker's one-on-one with Larry Johnson, Oakley sneakily went around from behind. When Walker jumped up to shoot, he directly slapped Walker's head!
Walker didn't expect Oakley to attack him for no reason. He wasn't prepared at all, and the slap landed squarely on his face.
Walker screamed and fell to the ground!
"Did you see that? This was the consequence of offending the New York mafia!”
Oakley did not give up and shouted fiercely at the screaming Walker.
The referees quickly surrounded the New Yorkers and the Boston players, preventing the conflict from expanding.
Walker covered his head, feeling dizzy.
He wanted to curse. The one who offended you was Linlong. Why the hell are you coming at me?
However, Walker couldn't bring himself to say such a thing.
He thought that he was the boss of the team. He couldn't possibly let the opponent attack Lin Long, right?
The aggrieved Walker could only stare at Oakley.
After the referees stabilized the situation, they began to watch the replay of the match.
After some discussion, the judges unanimously agreed:
Oakley had already lost his calm. If he continued to stay on the field, it would easily lead to a bigger conflict. Therefore, he was directly sentenced to a second-level malicious foul and sent Oakley out!
Auerbach stood up. He wanted to replace Walker.
Auerbach didn't even agree to let Walker take a break after the penalty kick.
Auerbach told Walker," It's just a regular season game. There's no need to bet on your health! Go and do a concussion test first. If you have any problems, I'll send someone to kill that bastard Oakley!”
The touched Walker had the urge to die for his friend!
But Auerbach was actually thinking: Oakley was gone. The most dangerous person in New York was gone. It was time for Lin Long to show his face in the live broadcast of the competition in the United States!
The person who hindered Linlong the most from showing his face was naturally Walker, who had changed from Oakley to soloist. Then he would replace him!
