As he gets older, Derrick McGee gets less and less able to do on the offensive end, and his role when he comes on the court is only defense. The meaning of Larry Bird's move is to tell Li Wei - stop playing, I see through your tactics!

Maddie on the court also looked at Li Wei at this time, which obviously meant to ask: "The Pacers have adjusted, are they still playing as originally planned?" ”

Li Wei nodded: "Fight according to tactics!" ”

Derrick McGee, who is 2.06 meters tall and has been selected to the All-Defensive Team twice, is a defensive stalwarts but is now getting older and slower, and his deterrent power on the defensive end is far from comparable to that of four years ago.

Maddie has talent and speed, as long as he plays at a normal level, McGee should be unstoppable!

Now that the tactical intention was discovered by Bird, Li Wei is just head-on, and he really crushes it with his strength!

In fact, the Knicks lost the last game, on the one hand, the Pacers' collective performance was better, and on the other hand, on the Knicks' side, Maddie and Da Yao did not play well.

But Li Wei is willing to give Maddie more trust, and he believes that Maddie will not play badly all the time.

Maddie got Li Wei's trust, played more resolutely, and frequently broke through to score!

Al Albert said: "Maddie is really crazy today! ”

Clark Kellogg said: "Yes, pull-up scores, layups, slam dunks, he plays like a superstar!" ”

Maddie's point is opened, and the Pacers' defense system is a little overwhelmed.

Larry Bird now has only two options, the first is to stick to the original defensive strategy, continue to put pressure on Garnett and Houston, and try to defend as much as possible on Maddy's side. The second is to change the defensive strategy and make the team's defensive rotation more inclined to Maddie, but in this way, Garnett, Houston and others are bound to not be able to take care of it!

After thinking about it for a while, Bird decided to stick with his original defensive strategy.

Let Maddie score heads-up, he may not be able to kill the Pacers, but if he changes his defensive strategy to make Garnett and Houston comfortable, then he will die!

This season's Garnett and Houston are even more terrifying than last season, and they really can't be released!

Li Wei saw that Bird did not adjust his defensive strategy, of course, he continued to let Maddie attack. Maddie, a third-year student, has already shown superstar potential, and as long as he is not the focus of opposing defense, he can naturally take what he wants!

In the first quarter, the Knicks led by 8 points, and in the second quarter, Bird reintroduced Jalen Rose, wanting him to attack Maddie, but unfortunately the effect was still not good!

With the help of the home whistle, the Pacers didn't let the score of the two teams open too much, but they didn't see any hope of a comeback in the whole game!

At 112:104, the Knicks won the away win and rewrote the score to 2:1!

Jalen Rose scored 26 points, Reggie Miller scored 25 points, Rick Schmitz was badly defended by Da Yao and Nesterovic today, shooting 0-of-6 from the field without scoring a point, and Mark Jackson had 19 points and 6 assists.

On the Knicks' side, Maddie scored a team-high 35 points, which caused the commentators to marvel.

Alan Houston scored 20 points, Garnett had a super triple-double of 16 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists, Nowitzki scored 18 points, and Li Wei himself played 16 minutes and scored six points and three assists.

After the competition, Li Wei returned to the hotel after being interviewed.

Li Fuzhen is about to give birth now, but she still refuses to rest at home, and whenever Li Wei plays away, she follows before and after the saddle.

In addition to her, Xia Cuirong and Xie Siqi, who had just had a summer vacation, also came.

Earlier this year, Lowe transferred some of her stake in the Knicks to Xia because she was reluctant to participate in the team's activities. So now Xia Cuirong is not only the president of the team, but also the big boss of the team.

also because she became the boss and gave birth to her second child, Xia Cuirong was not in a hurry to conceive her third child, and she just got pregnant again this month. As a result, the Knicks will win the championship in June, and the child in her womb will only be two months old, so it will be okay to participate in various celebrations.

"It's so hard for you." Li Wei hugged Xia Cuirong and said.

"What's so hard is to take a plane, run back and forth, and I don't get motion sickness." Xia Cuirong said.

Li Wei said: "I mean, you are pregnant with a child again, it's so hard." ”

Xia Cuirong said lightly: "I know that you don't want me to have children, you just want me to work for you for nothing, and make money for other people's children!" ”

Li Wei smiled bitterly: "How is it possible, I wish you had hundreds of children, but pregnancy is really hard." ”

Xia Cuirong chuckled: "Don't worry, it's not the first time I'm pregnant." ”

Xie Siqi said: "Auntie, I also want to have a boy, play in the NBA, have another daughter, and play in the NBA!" ”

Xia Cuirong glanced at Li Wei, pouted and said, "If your father agrees, of course it's no problem!" ”

Xie Siqi happily hugged Li Wei and said, "Dad, did you hear what my aunt said?" Just agree! ”

Li Weidao: "Siqi is still too young!" ”

Xia Cuirong said: "It's not your fault? Ivanka and Margaret are not a few years older than her, and now they are both mothers, and now Siqi says every day that you are partial, she wants to give birth, so you let her give birth! ”

"Okay." Li Wei nodded.

After a day of rest, on May 29, Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals officially began, and the Knicks won by a big margin!

No one thought that the Knicks, who lost one home game, would actually win two away games in a row!

3:1, the walkers have been driven to the edge of the cliff!

On May 31, the Knicks returned to their home court at Madison Garden, and Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals was officially staged. If the Knicks win this game, they can eliminate the Pacers and advance to the Finals!

With his life hanging by a thread, Larry Bird racked his brains and gave Li Wei a lot of surprises at the bottom of the box, and the Pacers' veterans also showed amazing tenacity, and finally Reggie Miller staged a stunner again!

At 3-2, the Pacers pulled one back.

Failing to win his home stadium, Li Wei was furious and scolded the players in the training gym for half an hour the next day.

On June 2, the Knicks returned to Indiana, and the whole team came together to take the win on the Pacers' home court!

At 4:2, the Knicks eliminated their old rival and entered the Finals for the second year in a row!

Last year's Eastern Conference Championship was held at City Square Arena, and this year the Pacers changed to a new arena, so the ceremony was held at Conseco Arena.

The awards were presented in different locations, but the same thing was that they were all on the home court of the Pacers.

In an interview with reporters, Li Wei said: He is honored to be able to take over the Eastern Conference championship trophy in this newly built arena, this year's Knicks are stronger than last year, and they will try their best to achieve the goal of defending the title set at the beginning of the season!

"Defend your title! Defending! Defending! The Knicks players chanted in unison.

The Knicks defeated the Pacers to reach the Finals, which also made Knicks fans excited. They are now bitter rivals with Pacers fans, and it is very relieving that the two sides have been fighting for a long time and eliminating their opponents.

Of course, Knicks fans are not only at odds with Pacers fans, but Philadelphia, Miami and other places are also their enemies!

There's no way, there are a lot of people in the New York area, a large fan base, and it's easy to offend people, there are always some people who specialize in pulling hatred!

On the Internet, the crazy swiping began: "Your dad is still your dad!" ”

"Your dad will always be your dad!"
