Chapter 508 Don't Fight!
The first round of the playoffs will start on the 29th. This season is indeed an extremely hasty season. As soon as the regular season ends, the teams have to prepare for the playoffs immediately before they have time to rest.
e, of course, for those teams that have a chance to play in the playoffs!
On the 28th, the Knicks submitted their 13-man roster for the playoffs to the league.
The list is as follows:
Center Forward: Boxer, Whiteside
Power forwards: Morris, Battier, Motel
Small forwards: Lin Yi, Jr. Chandler
Shooting guards: Green, Clay, Tony
Point guard: Paul, Tracy McGrady
Inactive: No money back - Parsons
Before the start of the playoffs, there was bad news for the Knicks, that is, "Karen Karen", who originally planned to make a comeback in the playoffs, was expected to postpone his comeback due to repeated injuries. After consulting the team doctor's opinion, he chose to bring Parsons.
You know, in order to avoid injuries, Lao De also banned Paul and the boxing champion at the last moment of the regular season. After all, it is impossible for the Knicks to get the favor of Miss Luck every season. The Knicks are outrageously healthy for most teams
Especially their leading star Lin Yi.
Now there is a saying in the outside world that the Knicks doctor has replaced the Sun doctor. In fact, the Knicks team doctors are also very helpless about this and can only say that Lin Yi may be iron!
...
On the 29th, in the first round of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, the Knicks played against the Philadelphia 76ers at home. Before the game, the fans of the home team put on this year’s new fan T-shirts designed by the designer Caesar. Unlike last year, this year’s Knicks On the front of Smith's fan t-shirt, there is a q version of Lin Yi and Paul eating fried chicken, while other Knicks players are holding grenades.
On the back of the T-shirt, there is a graphic of the big and small kings in a deck of playing cards and a sentence of "Go to the final stage" in English.
Before the game, CCTV commentator Su Junyang said: "The Knicks fan t-shirt is very interesting. Last year, Lin Yi held a sword and the other players held shields, implying that the Knicks lead the team with a single core, while the other players held shields. This year the Knicks are kings."
The host Yu Jia echoed: "Haha, Mr. Su, what the Knicks mean this year is that if we disagree, we will be bombed."
When analyzing the series between the Knicks and the 76ers before the game, Su Junyang said: "The Knicks have no problem passing this round of the series. The key is not to get injured. After all, this year is a shortened season. The connection is too tight, once the main player is injured, the Knicks will have a very difficult time defending the title."
Yu Jia added: "What Mr. Su said is that in addition, the American colleagues now agree that p should be selected for Lin Yi. If Lin Yi can be elected, then this will also be the second time in his career that he has been selected as the nba regular season p .”
"After all, Lin Yi averaged a triple-double this season, 25+15+10, which is a remarkable achievement." Su Junyang said.
On the court, during the warm-up before the game, Lin Yi looked at Paul who was touching his knee intentionally or unintentionally, and said with concern: "Chris, if it doesn't work, you should stop playing in the first round."
Lin Yi always felt that as soon as the playoffs came, I, who was originally omnipotent, would become a time bomb. Lin Yi knew very well how bad Paul would be in the playoffs, and even if the Knicks let the 76ers have Paul, The 76ers can't beat the Knicks. Lin Yi still has this confidence.
Paul frowned, "I don't want to miss any of our games again."
For Paul, Lin Yi's invitation, especially the phrase Let's build a dynasty together, is the key to Paul's most tempted. If he wants to build a dynasty, Paul doesn't want to miss any game.
Because he didn't come to lie down and win the championship.
Compared to the Knicks who are waiting in full swing tonight, the 76ers are completely relaxed, because Iguodala is very clear that the 76ers are not the opponents of the Knicks in this round of the series.
The 76ers want to show their dignity more.
"Brother One" has already made up his mind. He plans to apply for a trade to leave the team next season. In Iguodala's view, he cannot spend all his youth in Philadelphia.
Tonight, the Knicks lined up Boxing Champion, Da Mo, Lin Yi, Green, and Paul as starters, while the 76ers have Hawes, Brand, Iguodala, Meeks, and Holiday .
To the cheers of the New York fans, Lin Yi jumped the ball and easily defeated the really soft Hawes.
Don't look at the playing style of fighting and retreating, Hawes really has nothing but good looks and a passable basket!
In the future, Hawes once changed to a mohawk hairstyle and continued to grow a big beard, but he was soft
The first brother defended Lin Yi very well, but as long as he played a pick-and-roll, the weakness of the 76ers' two slow-moving insides was completely exposed. Brand was scared when he saw Lin Yi. Domineering?
Although it seems that Brand has never been domineering in playing.
As early as Lin Yi's rookie season, Brand was tortured enough by Lin Yi. Brand was only over 2 meters tall, and now relying on his steady mid-range shot is purely for food.
So Lin Yi frequently used his dislocation advantage to help his teammates score in the opening game. In less than three minutes of the opening, he sent out four assists.
"Teacher Su thinks it is possible for Lin Yi to compete for the assist king in the future?" Yu Jia asked curiously during the explanation.
Su Junyang nodded, "It is very possible that Lin Yi has a good passing vision, and this year he will not be able to play in the fourth quarter in many games, otherwise Rondo may not be the king of assists."
"If Lin Yi can win the assist king, then he will be the tallest assist king in NBA history." Yu Jia said jokingly.
On the court, Paul, who rested in the last four games of the regular season, showed a good state, shooting consecutively for the Knicks from inside and outside.
Holiday is still inexperienced. Paul's face-to-face fight is just a rhythm. Even if you are taller than him, it is difficult to beat him.
To be honest, during the half a year of getting along, Lin Yi only hated Paul 5 times during daily training.
The 76ers were beaten by the Knicks in the first quarter, 18 to 39. Once the Knicks arrived in the playoffs, their defensive strength was completely different. With the boxing champion in charge, it was difficult for the 76ers.
The 76ers' reliable outside shooter is Meeks. Although the first brother has a 39.4% three-point shooting percentage in the regular season, the first brother's shooting is too slow. When he was in the Warriors, the first brother was emptied by the opponent. Point, but in the 76ers, he is a player that the Knicks strictly guard.
The fans at Madison Square Garden cheered again and again. For the fans of the home team, go to hell with any exciting back and forth fights. What the fans want to see is that the team can pass the test safely.
In the second quarter of the game, Lin Yi played with a substitute, and Da Baibian replaced the boxing champion very well. This season, Da Baibian averaged 4.7 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game. The statistics do not show his strength Value, if the Knicks renew their contract with Whiteside in the summer, it will be a big bargain.
Clay's performance in the second quarter was mediocre. Lin Yi knew that Clay was playing in the playoffs for the first time, and he was a little too excited. The pitcher is a role that needs to be kept calm. Once too excited, it will easily affect his feel.
Fortunately, the Knicks' lead tonight was enough for the substitutes to waste. In the second half of the third quarter, D'Antoni gradually withdrew his main players. After all, in the playoffs, it is enough to win. unimportant.
In the end, 88 to 119, the Knicks beat the 76ers by 31 points at home, leading the series with a total score of 1 to 0. Lin Yi played 31 minutes, scored 22 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists before going to rest up.
Paul played 30 minutes, scored 18 points, 7 assists, and 5 rebounds. The 404 combination was not enjoyable. After this game, people know that it is only a matter of time before the Knicks advance.
Some Lin Hei who were expecting the 76ers to be upset no longer imagined that the 76ers could snipe the Knicks, because the strength gap between the two teams was insurmountable, so the Lin Hei chose to lie dormant for a while and try their best.
And shortly after the Knicks defeated the 76ers, in the game between the Chicago Bulls and the Hawks, the morale of Chicago, which was full of energy, fell to the bottom instantly.
