The competition has officially begun.

The Bulls took the lead at the start of the game, cheered on by their home fans, with a seven-point lead at 10-3.

These 3 points were all scored by Yi Jianlian alone.

Stoudemire, who was mischievous on the inside of the Heat in the last round, encountered Joakim Noah in this game, and he couldn't play any dominance at all.

Noah, who entered the league in 07, finally became a first-class interior in the league this season, with defense and strategy, as well as good offensive ability, if Derrick Rose is the key to the rise of the Bulls, then Joakim Noah is also an indispensable part of the rise of the Bulls, if it is not him, the Bulls may not be able to rise so fast and rise to this height.

Yi Jianlian held the ball to the front court, he scored 3 points for the first shot, he felt good tonight, but for the sake of his teammates, he focused more on organizational strategy in the next time, but unfortunately, his teammates seemed to be a little slow to enter the state today, including Xiao Si, he had an easy chance to put the basket into the middle of the line.

This ball, Yi Jianlian plans to play it himself!

Defending Yi Jianlian is Lu Erdeng, who can win 22 plus 9 at his peak, the defensive gate on the wing, and a very good offensive ability, he should have been the best forward player in the league, but unfortunately his playing style and injuries made him gradually become a representative of high salary and low energy, and even finally in the Lakers, he once became a water cooler player who could not play.

Lu Er Deng is tall, so he likes to defend closely, but unfortunately defending Yi Jianlian, he really doesn't dare to stick it, the latter is much taller than him, and his physical fitness is also two grades higher than him, if it is really pasted, Lu Er Deng bets that he will be passed by Yi Jianlian in one step, and then his teammates may be directly blocked, such a scene He has seen many times in Yi Jianlian's video, this guy is too difficult to resist!

It's hard to imagine that there is another person on this earth who is as perverted as Yi Jianlian, this guy is definitely an unstoppable monster on the basketball court!

"Huh!"

Lu Erdeng didn't step forward, Yi Jianlian threw it directly, and when the ball was thrown, he rushed towards the basket, and he didn't have any confidence to throw this ball.

"Bang dang!"

The ball hit the basket and bounced out.

Noah and Xiao Si jumped almost at the same time.

"Smack!"

But the ball was grabbed by Yi Jianlian, on top of the heads of these two guys.

There was a low cry at the scene, and it could be heard that these guys didn't want to cheer for Yi Jianlian, but the picture was too shocking, and they made their voices unconsciously.

Be born......

The unrelenting Noah and Boozer surrounded Yi Jianlian together, but Yi Jianlian took the ball and landed, so he immediately jumped up and put the ball into the basket.

By the time the two men approached, the ball had already rolled into the basket.

"Everyone forgets that Yi used to be one of the best inside lines in the league, although he only played the inside line for one year, but in his year's time, he has been able to beat Pau Gasol, and he has been able to fight with Chris Bosh who is still the Dragon King, and he is still very experienced in handling the ball after taking the ball on the inside!"

Yi Jianlian returned to the defense and said to the Knicks players behind him: "Everyone, we are only 5 points away, it's not a problem, we can win this game!" ”

"It's just, I hope you can do the same as usual, or just think of these guys as the Heat guys!"

"Don't overthink it, them!"

With a wave of cheering, the expressions of all the Knicks players relaxed slightly.

It's the chemistry of leadership.

A sentence is worth more than a dozen words of an ordinary player.

Derrick Rose dribbles to the ball.

Yi Jianlian's goal just now was a little brilliant, and even made the entire Bulls team let out a burst of uncontrollable low screams, which was a bit of a blow to the momentum of the Bulls, and Derrick Rose was ready to return one!

Facing Dragic, Derrick Rose changed direction sharply and then carried Xiao Si and hit the lever widely.

It was definitely a top 10 goal.

Although it was just an uneventful goal for Derrick Rose, he could have scored almost every goal.

This is Derrick Rose at his peak, with an extreme change of direction and a large pull-up layup, Derrick Rose is just like his nickname, a blooming rose, dazzling and dazzling.

This goal was a big blow to the Knicks, and the morale that had just risen fell again, and in the rest of the game, the entire Knicks team except for Yi Jianlian could not play any normal performance at all.

In the end, the Bulls pressed the Knicks all the way to the end of the game, beating the Knicks by 99-88, 11 points and winning the first game of the Eastern Conference finals.

Yi Jianlian got 35 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists in the whole game, but in the end, he was replaced by an empty cut. His teammate Stoudemire only had 17 points and 7 rebounds, and none of his teammates scored more than 15 points.

Derrick Rose had 31 points, 7 assists and 4 rebounds in this game, and his breakthrough was like a sharp scalpel that cut the entire Knicks to pieces.

Although Lu Erdeng did not defend Yi Jianlian in this game, he also got 16 points and 7 rebounds.

Joaquin Noah got 14 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists in this game, each of which is not outstanding in a single statistic, but together it has to be taken seriously, this is Joakim Noah, in fact, the injury ruined is not as simple as a Derrick Rose, if it is not an injury problem, Joaquin Noah will also be the best interior in the league.

……

"Easily won the first game!"

"Sure enough! There is only one Yi that will definitely not stop our Bulls! ”

"I don't think anyone doubts us by now! We can still hold the Knicks in the playoffs! ”

Bulls fans had snot bubbles after the game, and in the first game of the Eastern Conference finals, the Bulls still suppressed the Knicks from beginning to end to win the final victory, just like the regular season, which made them finally relieved, and they believed that the Knicks really couldn't beat them!

"We're here for the finals!"

The Chicago Local newspaper was very rampant with such a headline after the first game!

"And the MVP award in the regular season, I don't think there should be any suspense, right?"

There are also reports mentioning the MVP award in the regular season, in fact, the award has already had the voting results at the end of the regular season, but the final result is not directly announced, but is reserved as the final award to be announced, and it will be known in a few days.

However, whether it is public or not, in the eyes of the Chicago media and fans, it is still necessary to build momentum, as long as the results do not come out for a day, then they can't stop for a day, this is the closest Chicago has come to have a regular season MVP winner since Michael Jordan, and they are desperately hoping for the next regular season MVP winner, no, it should be said that they desperately want Derrick Rose to be the next regular season MVP winner.

They need to prove that Chicago's time is back!

"Come on, Yi, I'm sure you can lead the Knicks to win the game!"

"Yi, it's just the first game, if you lose, you lose, and when we return to the home field, we can still win!"

"Yi, don't have too much pressure, I believe that we still have a chance!"

New York fans ran to Yi Jianlian's Twitter to cheer for him after the first loss, this game can't blame Yi Jianlian for any words, because his teammates played too badly, only Yi Jianlian's play is still normal, and it is precisely because of this that Yi Jianlian has become the last hope of New York City, New York fans can only put the hope of winning on him, they don't even have any message under Stoudemire's Twitter, they don't have any hope for Xiao Si who played badly in the first game.

This is the fans of New York, they only like players who play well, as long as you play well, then they are willing to become a licking dog, but if you play badly, then sorry, even if you become a licking dog, they will not look at you, which is why the fans of the whole league are saying that the fans of New York are the most unworthy fans of the team in the world, and the reason is very simple, they will only give them cheers at the moment when the glory comes.

***

"I don't think we don't have no chances, it's just that our mentality hasn't adjusted well, we're not worse than any team, it's just that we gave up the hope of winning first, which is the biggest taboo in any competitive game, I always believe in my teammates, they are the best teammates for me, as long as they are there, I don't think I will be afraid of any opponent!"

In the second game of the East Finals, Yi Jianlian still showed great self-confidence in the pre-game interview, and still gave infinite trust to his teammates who played badly in the first game.

"I'm afraid the luckiest thing in the world is to become Yi's teammate, to get a huge amount of attention, to go further in the playoffs, to get honors, and not to have much responsibility!"

"Big Mouth" Barkley admired Yi Jianlian's words before the game, in his opinion, Yi can even be said to be the best leader in the world, although he has not played in this league for too long, but during this time, when it comes to his teammates, this guy always praises the main thing, and never throws the pot of defeat on his teammates, "The most important thing is that this guy himself is actually qualified to blame anyone!" ”

Keeping a low profile and being humble at all times, in Barkley's opinion, this should be the hardest thing in the world!

Anyway, he definitely can't do it, if he has the ability of Yi Jianlian and still loses in the first game, he can directly "spray" his teammates to death.

……

The second game of the Eastern Conference finals was still played on the home court of the Bulls.

At the beginning of this game, Yi Jianlian significantly increased his personal offense compared to the previous game, and the first 4 shots of the Knicks were completed by him alone.

And he was also very efficient, shooting 3-of-4 and scoring 7 points.

With these 7 points, the Knicks temporarily led the Bulls 7-6.

Thibodeau saw that Yi Jianlian's attack was so strong tonight, and the hand felt so good from the beginning, and immediately asked Lu Erdeng and Hamilton to wrap Yi Jianlian together.

"Masked Man" is naturally no longer the first-line scoring guard who can be called the "four quarters" back then, but the defensive awareness he trained under Larry Brown is still there, coupled with his rich experience in running without the ball, he plus Lu Erdeng, Yi Jianlian really can't get rid of it for a while.

Fortunately, the two people wrapped Yi Jianlian, which made the Bulls' defensive intensity against the rest of the Knicks attenuate a lot, and Xiao Si seized this opportunity to score consecutive points to help the team continue to lead by 1 point.

It's just that this advantage is too small, the Bulls gradually adapted to the Knicks' offense after a short period of defensive adjustment, without Yi Jianlian, many of the Knicks' balls were handed over to Xiao Si to play, and their entire defensive focus was immediately on Xiao Si, they didn't have extra players to wrap Xiao Si again, but they could make Xiao Si unable to catch the ball, even if he caught the ball, it was the ball that was obtained under a lot of hardship.

Smalls was so exhausted by them that the overall offensive efficiency plummeted, and as Smalls continued to play iron, the Bulls overtook the score difference before the end of the first quarter of the game, leading by four points at 28-24.

"I'll keep going!"

Yi Jianlian only rested for one interseason, drank all the Gatorade in the cup, and then applied to continue to play in the second quarter, although he only said these four words, but his attitude was very resolute, D'Antoni agreed!

At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, Yi Jianlian came on the court, this time he also took the initiative to ask for the No. 1 position to receive the ball in the backcourt, and the Bulls made substitutions according to their rotation normally, and only one Boozer was on the court for the main team, and he was replaced in the second half of the first quarter to rest.

As for the defense, Hamilton and Ruer Deng were put down and rested together, the two of them defended Yi Jianlian in the first quarter, but the physical wear was serious, especially Hamilton, who was known as "can't run", sat on the court and gasped for breath at this time, and when he took a little breath, he couldn't wait to pour a few mouthfuls of Gatorade into his mouth, his physical strength was in urgent need of recovery, when he saw that Yi Jianlian could continue to play at this time, his eyes were also with a trace of helplessness, young is really good! This energy is abundant, as for him, he really can't accept the old!

“！”

Yi Jianlian came on the court, took the ball in the backcourt to the frontcourt and went directly to the crushing layup, and roared angrily after a one-arm dunk, and the entire Bulls' home audience was directly beaten by his ball!

The first quarter is a full section!

I didn't take a break at all in the second quarter, and I came up and buckled violently, is this still a human being!
