Chapter 183: Knocking out the Knicks

Madison Square Garden Arena, New York.

The game was still going on, and it was only in the third quarter, but most of the fans on the court were gone.

The reason is simple, these fans who came to support the home team have been completely disappointed.

After falling behind 0:3, the Knicks have basically announced that they have been eliminated from the playoffs, and this fourth game will also be a battle for the Knicks to defend their dignity.

Whether it can win a decent departure, or be swept away by 4:0, just watch the game.

However, fans who were expecting the Knicks to win the game were utterly disappointed after only two and a half quarters.

With six points trailing at the end of the first quarter and 18 points at the end of the second quarter, the Knicks are trailing by 26 points at home so far in the third quarter.

Even fans who have faith in this team will not believe that in the next ten minutes, the Knicks can stage a Jedi counterattack.

More and more fans got up and left the arena in disappointment, leaving the Madison Square Garden arena, which can accommodate nearly 20,000 people, empty.

The home fans left the stadium early, which was undoubtedly another blow to the Knicks' already not very vigorous momentum.

Seeing that Anthony, Stoudemire and others on the court were a little absent-minded and had no intention of fighting, Knicks head coach D'Anthony could only sigh.

When Curry hit his seventh three-pointer of the game, the gap between the two teams officially widened to 30 points.

D'Antoni didn't struggle, but replaced the entire bench and announced that he would not play the game early.

Seeing this situation, Wang Xiao naturally did not fall into the ground, and replaced all the main players here.

The substitutes for both teams swiped their stats tepidly in the final quarter of the game until the end of the game.

"It's finally over."

The commentator couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, and then said in a heavier tone: "It's a pity that the miracle didn't happen, the Knicks are still difficult to stop the fate of being swept on their home court, but the existence of the Big Three represents infinite possibilities, this season they have known each other too little, we have every reason to believe that next season will be the stage for them to show their true strength." ”

"At the same time, let's congratulate the Wizards on making it to the conference semifinals, and there is no doubt that they are a strong team......

At the press conference after the game, Wang Xiao said some official polite words as usual.

For example, although the team won the game, the strength of the Knicks' Big Three still made him feel terrified...... Next season, this team of Jedi will be the most terrifying opponents......

All in all, even if you win, you don't sneer, you can't be a man with your tail between your legs, and you don't do things that ruin your character.

Wang Xiao took the initiative to provoke such a thing before and after the game, which can only happen in the game with the Heat, which is purely a personal grudge.

……

eliminated the Knicks 4:0, and Wang Xiao got nearly a week's rest as he wished.

Why a week? Because with the end of 4 games, the occupancy of the Eastern Conference is currently as follows.

Wizards 4:0 Knicks.

Bulls 2:2 Nets.

Heat 3:1 Hawks.

Celtics 3:1 Magic.

In addition to the Wizards, the other three matchups will all have at least one or more games to decide the winner, and the Wizards' next opponent will be the winner of the Celtics and Magic, or in other words, the Celtics.

The Celtics, who already have a 3-1 lead, have a 90% chance of winning, and no one is optimistic about Howard, who is fighting alone.

In these four matchups, the most surprising thing is not the Wizards, who swept the Knicks' Big Three 4:0, but the Nets, who fought with the Bulls to a 2:2 draw.

Although Rose suffered several blows against Jeremy Lin during the regular season, the Bulls, who won 60 wins, are still recognized as one of the strongest teams in the league, and are not at all on the same level as the Nets, who are ranked seventh in the East and have a win rate of 50%.

But the actual result was that on the home court of the Bulls, the Nets lost two games, and after returning to New Jersey with a score of 2:0, they actually won two games in a row under the leadership of Jeremy Lin and pulled the score back to a 2:2 draw.

In these four games, Jeremy Lin, who averaged 21 points, 12 assists, 6.5 rebounds and 3 steals per game, performed perfectly.

On the other side, although Rose, the core of the Bulls, averaged 23 points and 6 assists per game, his shooting rate was only 39%, and he averaged about 4 turnovers per game.

Clearly, Rose lost once again in the showdown with Jeremy Lin.

However, at present, it seems that the Bulls still have the advantage, after all, the Nets are far from the Bulls in other positions, and if nothing else, the Nets will still be defeated by the Bulls.

……

The game between the Bulls and the Nets, Wang Xiao watched it through live TV.

When he saw Jeremy Lin showing his might in the playoffs, Wang Xiao was happy on the one hand, but on the other hand, he didn't hesitate in his heart.

He found that in these four games, Jeremy Lin played too hard, playing nearly 40 minutes in almost every game.

This does not bode well.

For a physically fit player like James and Kobe Bryant, it is not difficult to play 40 minutes or even the whole game.

However, for the weak physical fitness of Asians, such a high-intensity competition is likely to cause a huge burden on the body.

In another time and space, Jeremy Lin has been constantly injured since then, and high-intensity matches can easily cause physical problems for him.

The current Jeremy Lin, although his playing style is more inclined to Kidd's floor flow, relying on the overall situation, awareness and skill to play, the possibility of injury has been reduced a lot, but it is not completely injury-free.

Wang Xiao doesn't know very well that the player growth template card has an effect on physical fitness, or physical strength.

If Jeremy Lin also inherited Kidd's physical strength, then there is no need to worry, although Kidd is a floor-flow player, but his physique is a rare strong physique among point guards, and his career will rarely be plagued by injuries.

However, if the growth template card doesn't take care of these aspects, it's a bit of a hassle.

Wang Xiao tried to ask the system about this, but was not answered.

To be on the safe side, he still called Jeremy Lin and told the other party.

Wang Xiao doesn't want Ross to be ruined by injury, and he doesn't want Jeremy Lin, a player he has cultivated himself, to bury his glorious career because of injury.

For Wang Xiao's inexplicable call, Jeremy Lin was a little puzzled, but Wang Xiao solemnly told him to keep it in his heart, after all, in Jeremy Lin's heart, Wang Xiao is his most important mentor, even the current head coach of the Nets is far less than Wang Xiao's status in his mind.
