Chapter 758 The Second Round Begins! Where Do We Go From Here?
After a few days of watching melons, the Knicks' opponents in the second round were announced.
In the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Knicks will face off against the Raptors.
As Lin Yi expected, the Bulls were a bit weak at the end of this round of the series. The "Spicy Chicken Brothers" scored 58 points in the tiebreaker to help the Raptors beat the Bulls.
Compared with the Nets whose mentality has been defeated by the Knicks in the regular season, the Raptors who have just eliminated the Bulls through a life-and-death tiebreaker can be said to be full of energy.
The Raptors sniped the Knicks twice in the regular season. DeRozan, who currently claims to be Lin Yi's Terminator, seems to have forgotten the past when he personally gave Lin Yi a "quadruple double".
So, people, they will always selectively forget some past events that are not good for them.
For example, Lin Yi now always says that he is the most durable man on earth.
Regarding this, Olsen, who was pregnant with her second child, didn't want to talk, and threw a little Yoyo at Lin Yi.
Go and take the kids!
...
In this year's conference semifinals, apart from the duel between the Knicks and the Raptors, after defeating his old club Cavaliers in the tiebreaker, the little emperor, who was a stranger to Cleveland, personally cut off his "way home".
Cavaliers fans hate James far more than ever, even more than when James joined the Heat in the summer of 2010.
From the perspective of emotional science, this is like a pair of lovers breaking up. You have a bad life, and I have a bad life, so everyone will not be too uncomfortable.
But now, you come to gank me with your incumbent, I can't stand it anymore.
I have to say that good luck really tricks people.
Because in this round of the series, Carmelo Anthony, who averaged 27 shots per game and shot only 40%, has been regarded as a god-like existence by Cavaliers fans.
To be reasonable, the "scientific" Anthony is currently in Cleveland to the extent that the little emperor may not have it.
My melon has almost ushered in the peak of melon production.
Whether it's sweet or poisonous, anyway, the whole world's melons and honeys are united and the Family Association only recognizes Anthony as a melon.
Poor Brother Thick Eyebrows and Brother Antetokounmpo
In fact, the Cavaliers can push the Heat into the tiebreaker in this round,
In Lin Yi's view, apart from the Heat's own problems, the most important thing is that the two young Cavaliers played very well.
Well, Lin Yi thinks it's time to shout out that slogan with Gua Mi.
"Anthony is the number one small forward in the league!"
Ahem, let’s get down to business.
The Heat's opponent in the conference semifinals will be the Wizards. In the first round of the playoffs, the Wizards defeated the Pacers 4-2.
It is said that after the end of this round of the series, Pickle has gone fishing with a fishing rod
Fishing with pickled peppers, wishing the turtle would take the bait.
In the West, the Warriors defeated the Clippers 4-1. Their opponent in the division semifinals will be the Spurs.
In addition, the Thunder defeated the Grizzlies 4-3, and they will face the Cosmos Bulls in the division semifinals.
...
The second round of the playoffs between the East and the West has not yet started, and there has been a lot of quarrels over the ownership of the MVP.
The odds of the seven major bookmakers in the United States can be described as changing every day.
But for some reason, Lin Yi calmed down as time went by.
After all, for Lin Yi, he knew that the most important thing for him now was to defend his title.
It is much more difficult for the Knicks to defend their title this year than last year, because Paoquan still needs time to find its status, and Lin Yi must prepare for the worst.
And unlike in the past, the Knicks will face a strong challenge starting from the semifinals this year.
The Raptors have a balanced lineup. As long as Lowry and DeRozan can't lose the chain, it will not be that simple for the Knicks to eliminate the Raptors.
If one is not careful, meeting Waterloo would be no fun.
After nearly a week of health preservation, Lin Yi also managed to recover.
For Lin Yi, it is impossible for him to let the spicy chicken brothers step on him to take the position.
Because even if he lost to the Heat, Lin Yi would not feel so uncomfortable, but losing to the Raptors
It's as painful as Milan being turned over on a night in Istanbul.
As a Milan fan, Lin Yi doesn't want to experience Istanbul once in his career.
...
On May 4th, the Eastern Conference semifinals, the G1 game between the Knicks and the Raptors started at Madison Square Garden.
Crazy New Yorkers have turned this basketball mecca into hell for visiting teams.
I have to say that there are indeed a lot of bastards in the city of New York.
Otherwise, why would so many people have time to sing karaoke near the hotel where the Raptors are staying?
The Raptors want to call the police, okay?
In the middle of the night, a desperate melody sounded out of nowhere.
Let alone the Raptors players, for some reason, everyone's body seems to be poisoned, and they always dance involuntarily to this melody.
The harassment tactics of Knicks fans obviously succeeded, and it turns out, what's the use of calling the police?
For the New York police who are democratic, advocating freedom and the rule of law, everyone just wants to give these fans a big thumbs up.
As for calling the police?
Of course it's taking your time!
The poor Raptors player didn't sleep well, and he always swayed to the melody in his sleep.
Even during warmups tonight, DeRozan kept humming that poisonous tune.
And Lin Yi almost sang along with DeRozan's melody.
"the vast horizon is my love"
look at the sky!
Nimi are so talented?
Looking at the bleary-eyed Raptor soldiers, Lin Yi almost laughed out loud.
It has to be said that off-court interference is also one of the home court advantages.
Occupying the right time, place and people, he is still waiting for work. If the Knicks can lose tonight, then Lin Yi thinks that he should stop playing and retire to sell meat muffins!
After all, Cao Cheng had never fought such a rich battle in Chibi for quite a long time!
...
As the warm-up ended, the big screen at Madison Square Garden showed the performances of the two teams tonight.
Knicks: Boxing Champion, Lin Yi, Green, Clay, Paul.
Raptors: Valanciunas, Patterson, Amir Johnson, DeRozan, Lowry.
In terms of lineup height, the Raptors are not afraid of the Knicks, and it is no accident that this Raptors can eliminate the Bulls.
Raptors coach Casey is a coach who is very good at training civilian lineups. In Lin Yi's memory, the Raptors always love to lose the chain, which is also related to the team's lack of temperament.
It is said that character determines destiny, and temperament, an invisible and intangible thing, is also very important to a team.
In this life, DeRozan is no longer depressed, and he sniped Lin Yi twice in the regular season this year, which made his confidence swell.
And this is one of the reasons why the Raptors were able to eventually eliminate the Bulls.
Moreover, Lowry is also the kind of opponent that Paul has a headache.
The small steel cannon's elbow is ranked first in the point guard circle. Whether the injury cannon can cure Lowry tonight is also the key to the Knicks' victory.
On the court, as the referee threw the ball in the middle circle, the Eastern Conference semifinals, the G1 game between the Knicks and the Raptors, was about to start!
