After a two-day break, the playoffs officially begin on April 17.

A total of four games will be played on April 17.

Celtics vs. Knicks.

Pacers vs. Wizards.

King vs. Timberwolves.

Suns vs. Nuggets.

April 18 is also four games.

Heat vs. Bulls.

Pistons vs. 76ers.

Spurs vs Sonics.

Mavericks vs. Rockets.

Before the game, the Celtics declined all interviews and began to prepare for the game with peace of mind.

Then......

When Gu Yu saw the latest news, he was immediately speechless.

Because, most news is saying one word.

Black Eight!

Black Eight is also known as the Black Eight Miracle in the mouths of fans.

The Black Eight Miracle is when the eighth-ranked team beats the first-ranked team in the NBA playoffs.

Before Gu Yu crossed over, in the history of the NBA, the Black Eight Miracles appeared a total of five times.

In the 1993-1994 season, the Denver Nuggets, led by Uncle Mu, defeated the Western Seattle SuperSonics 3:2 in the series.

In the 1998-1999 season, the New York Knicks defeated the Miami Heat, the first in the East, 3:2 by the lore of Alan Houston.

In the 2006-2007 season, the Golden State gangs led by Baron Davis defeated the No. 1 Dallas Mavericks in the West 4:2.

In the 2010-2011 season, the "Black Bears" Zach Randolph led the Memphis Grizzlies 4:2 to defeat the Western No. 1 San Antonio Spurs.

In the 2011-2012 season, the Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Chicago Bulls, the first in the East, 4:2, due to the injury of the Bulls star Derrick Rose.

Now the next three black eights have not happened yet, but there have been two.

And it was the Knicks who called out the black eight.

Alan Houston, the 'CIC King' who created the Black Eight Miracles last time, was still in the Knicks lineup even though he was affected by injuries.

Plus this is Gu Yu, or rather, this is the first time many Celtics players have played in the playoffs.

Therefore, to the Knicks and New York fans inexplicable confidence.

Even Knicks general manager 'Smile Assassin' Isiah Thomas, when facing reporters, directly released rhetoric.

"Gu Yu is great, but his youth is his weakness."

"Boris Diaw, Tony Allen, these young people are all good, but they are all too young! 99

"The regular season and the playoffs are completely different games, and the Knicks will pay the Celtics a price of youth! 35

Gone!

After seeing the words of the Smiling Assassin, Gu Yu could only say that the Smiling Assassin was floating!

Gu Yu is not looking down on players like the Knicks.

Marbury, Eddie Curry, P.J. Brown, Crawford, plus Alan Houston who is said to be back in the playoffs.

It seems to be okay.

18.....

Relying on these few people to count on Black Eight?

Not a joke!

Gu Yu felt that unless Alan Houston, the 'CIC King', dreams of returning to the top, it is only possible.

Otherwise, he will definitely smash the Knicks!

And Rivers is also very worried at this time, after all, as a head coach whose 3:1 lead was reversed.

Before being reversed by the Pistons in the Magic, he is now afraid of being really black.

Therefore, pulling the entire coaching staff to constantly study the Knicks tactics.

After the study, I took the Celtics team and listened to the tactics together every day.

Gu Yu is speechless, is it so hard to play the Knicks?

Rivers: Are you afraid of being reversed?

Gu Yu is naturally not afraid.

As night fell on April 17, the Celtics-Knicks series was about to begin.

"Hello everyone in front of the TV audience!

"I'm Director Zhang! I'm Yu Jia!"

"Today we bring you the first game of the NBA playoffs, the Celtics vs. the Knicks. 35

"Before the game, Knicks fans already had a lot of voices of black eight. As a team with a history of black eight, the Knicks should not be underestimated in the playoffs!"

As Director Zhang's voice came out from the TV, Gu Yu and others also came on stage and started to warm up.

Boston fans have begun to greet Knicks players cordially.

"Knicks trash! Black Eight exists in your dreams!"

"Send the Knicks scumbags home!"

"The Boston Celtics are unbeatable!"

""

As a veteran who has played in the NBA for many years, Marbury will naturally not care about the fans' greetings.

But when he was warming up, he still felt a chill behind him.

"Is it an illusion? It should be an illusion!"

E......

Marbury is really not an illusion, because Gu Yu already wants to hammer the Knicks at this time!

The first time Gu Yu played in the playoffs, it was the overwhelming black eight.

Can a normal person be angry?

Therefore, Gu Yu just wanted to send the Knicks a sweep!

The Celtics' starting lineup: center Okur, power forward Gu Yu, small forward Pierce, shooting guard Shane Battier, point guard Tony.

The Knicks' starting lineup: center Eddie Curry, power forward P.J. Brown, small forward Ariza, shooting guard Crawford, point guard Marbury.

beep!

As the referee's whistle sounded, after Eddie Curry successfully jumped the ball, the game officially started.

Marbury received the ball and started to organize the attack.

Tony is also full of defensive strength when he comes up.

One hand was raised to interfere with Marbury's shot, and the other hand pulled Marbury's jersey to prevent Marbury from easily passing himself.

Although the Handcheck rule was cancelled, it was only cancelled during the regular season.

With the easing of the whistle in the playoffs, the Handcheck rule is almost as good as it has not been canceled.

Marbury could not get rid of Tony who was like a candy cane for a while.

As a seasoned veteran, P.J. Brown saw that Marbury was entangled, and decisively came to the high position to help Marbury make a pick-and-roll.

With the help of P.J. Brown's pick-and-roll, Marbury got rid of Tony's defense, an acceleration directly into the Celtics restricted area.

At this time, Gu Yu's defense has arrived.

Facing the double-team of Gu Yu and Okur in the interior, realizing that Marbury was not good, he decisively chose to pass the ball to P.J. Brown.

Although P.J. Brown is an insider, he is one of the rare insiders with a shot.

44.9 percent career long two-point shooting.

Coupled with the height of 2.11 meters, Tony can't interfere at all.

As long as P.J. Brown catches the ball, it's basically a two-pointer in a big hole.

"Stephen Marbury passed the ball! Sean Battier predicted Stephen Marbury's pass in advance!""

"Sean Battier made a steal! The Celtics started to fight back! Sean Battier made a layup!

"Beautiful! At the beginning of the game, the Celtics played a beautiful defensive counterattack directly!"

"We often say that you have to play with IQ, and Shane's IQ is excellent.

Director Zhang was not stingy with his praise at this time.

Actually this is to be expected.

Ariza did not develop a shot at the beginning of his career. Although Crawford is a good choice, he has Shane in front of him.

P.J. Brown was naturally the best choice, Shane had insight into Marbury's idea in advance, and took the opportunity to steal successfully.

Boom!

Crawford faced Battier's defensive shot, Okur grabbed the rebound, and the Celtics started to attack.

Gu Yu received the ball in the low post and directly chose to play P.J. Brown with his back

bump!

P.J. Brown only felt a huge force coming from his chest, and his body involuntarily retreated.

At this moment, P.J. Brown felt as if he was facing the peak shark once again!

bump!

Another huge force came, and P.J. Brown's body was pushed back again.

After knocking off P.J. Brown, Gu Yu rolled back and shot directly.

P.J. Brown could only watch Gu Yu complete the shot.

Swish!

The basketball hollowed into the net, and the North Shore Garden was instantly filled with cheers!

"Da Yu's low back position is really amazing!"

"In the playoffs, when the confrontation comes up, most of the players' shots are deformed. 35

"In this case, in addition to relying on physical talent, you can only rely on technology to get a good shot.

Director Zhang also gave some popular science to the fans at this time.

The Celtics' tactics are still very simple.

On the defensive end, relying on excellent defense, forcing the Knicks into the player's singles.

On the offensive end, Okur pulled Eddie Curry beyond the arc.

Gu Yu also pulls P.J. Brown to the top of the arc, Pierce cuts the penalty area, or Tony and Shane rush.

.....for flowers .....

Crawford has won the best sixth man three times in his career, and in terms of offensive firepower, Crawford is really good.

But he also has a common problem with the sixth man, the defensive end of 10,000 people poking.

Tony and Shane took turns to break through Crawford with the ball, and directly put Crawford out of his temper.

Another problem with Crawford also came to light in the playoffs.

Although Crawford played really well in the regular season, under the high-intensity confrontation in the playoffs, the offensive firepower was not weakened a little bit.

Career postseason shooting is 38.6 percent from the field and 30.7 percent from three-point range.

As far as the hit rate is concerned, it is really no problem to say that it is not good.

In the face of Shane Battier's defense, Crawford successfully became the "Best Sixth Man of the Celtics".

The audience made 5 of 15 shots, 1 of 5 three-pointers, 3 of 5 free throws, and scored 14 points and 3 rebounds.

Shooting only 33.3%.

Eddie Curry's constant double-teaming against Okur and Gu Yu resulted in only 12 points and 7 rebounds.

The team's second and third scoring points were tied like this.

Alan Houston, the 'Mid-Cover King' on the bench, was limited by a knee injury and only got 6 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist in this game.

How can the Knicks win in this situation?

As the core of the team, Marbury is indeed not strong enough.

Although he has been selected for three teams in his career, his strength is still a lot worse than that of a superstar.

Although Marbury scored 22 points, 7 assists and 4 rebounds in this game, he was still unable to change the Knicks' defeat.

In the end, Gu Yu scored 32 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 blocks, directly penetrating the Knicks defense!

Led the Celtics to a 98-87 victory over the Knicks by 12 points.

Tell everyone with strength action!

Black person?

Purely a dream!

After the Celtics won their first playoff victory, several other games ended smoothly.

Pacers against the Wizards, there is no suspense in this game.

Although 'General' Arenas is powerful, the Pacers' No. 1 position is Peyton.

Payton still has the strength to fight at this time.

In the original history, Payton averaged 10.3 points, 4.6 assists and 4.1 rebounds per game in the playoffs.

In the first game, with the help of O'Neal Jr., he successfully restricted Arenas.

Arenas finished the game with only 16 points, 5 assists, 2 rebounds, and 3 turnovers.

Artest also showed how terrible his best defensive player was, limiting Larry Hughes to only 11 points and 3 rebounds.

The Pacers easily defeated the Wizards 89:78.

King vs. Timberwolves.

The two teams are also old rivals. The two teams met in the playoffs last season. After the Timberwolves defeated the Kings, they reached the Western Conference Finals.

After the Kings sent off the perimeter gates Christie and Webber this season, their strength is definitely down compared to last season.

Although "Old Cat" Mobley is better in offense than Christie, his defense is much worse than Christie's.

The Timberwolves also welcomed the return of the aliens in the playoffs!

Although the aliens are old, their strength is still online.

In the original history, the Alienware averaged 18 points, 5.8 assists and 4 rebounds per game in the playoffs in the Clippers next season.

.

Shot 43.7 percent from the field and 34.9 percent from three-point range.

After the Alien came back, in the first game against Bibby's defense, he scored 18 points, 6 assists and 3 rebounds.

The king's inside line composed of Kent Thomas and "Big White Bear" Brad Miller can't limit the big hard at all.

Facing the Kings last season, he averaged 23.9 points, 4.3 assists, 15.4 rebounds, 3.4 blocks and 1.7 steals per game in the playoffs.

This time, he scored 25 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks.

The Timberwolves defeated the Kings 101:96.

The match between the Suns and the Nuggets is basically a one-sided game.

Although the strength of the Nuggets is good, the Nuggets have a disadvantage.

The physical fitness of the social melon is not good.

Although the social melon is an offensive kaleidoscope, its physical fitness has not been considered good.

At least compared to the physical monsters like James and Kobe, it is definitely not good.

It is precisely because of this that social melons often like to leave their physical fitness to the offensive end.

And the sun likes to consume opponents with faster offensive and defensive transitions.

The Nuggets could still hold the score in the first three quarters, and in the fourth quarter, the social melon’s physical fitness bottomed out.

The offensive end frequently starts to strike iron.

The sun directly hit a wave of 21:7 attack, which sealed the victory in one fell swoop!

In the end, the Nuggets were defeated by 109:195.
