Before the start of the fifth game, the Knicks made a short film.

Host Mike Brin said: "This year is the ninth time in our Knicks history that we have reached the Finals, so let's reminisce about the team's journey of winning the Eastern Conference championship nine times! ”

Walter Worrezer said: "We have reached the summit of the East nine times, and there are about three periods. In the fifties, we won the Eastern Conference three times, three times in the seventies, and three times in the nineties until now! ”

The big screen at Madison Square Garden began to show some black and white photos.

The fifties were the first glorious period for the Knicks, and in '51, '52, and '53, the team reached the Finals three times in a row.

In the '51 Finals, the Knicks' opponent was the Rochester Royals. The team later moved to Sacramento, the predecessor of the Sacramento Kings.

In the first three games, the Royals led 3:0, but the tenacious Knicks chased the score to a 3:3 draw. The crucial tie-break was played at Rochester's home stadium, and with only 40 seconds left, the two sides were tied 75-75!

However, Royals star Davis made 2-of-3 free throws to give his team the lead, and then there was a scrum in the game, with the Royals taking possession and Jack Coleman sealing the win with a layup.

The Knicks lost, the Royals won, the only championship in Kings history, and they haven't won the championship since.

In '52, the Knicks reached the Finals for the second year in a row against the Lakers.

At that time, the Lakers were still in Minneapolis, and the team had the first generation of legendary centers in the NBA, and the first legendary superstar George McCan!

Facing the powerful Lakers, the Knicks fought with their opponents in the first 6 games to a 3:3 draw, but the Lakers had the home court advantage and defeated the Knicks in the seventh game to win the championship!

In 53, the Knicks reached the Finals for the third time, and the opponent they met was still the Lakers, and it was the Lakers who won the championship in the end!

"In the 50s, we entered the Finals three times, all of which were wedding dresses for others, and two of our opponents were Lakers!" Mike Brin lamented.

Walter Fraser said: "In the early sixties, we went through a low point, but the red head Reed Holzman came and gave us new hope! ”

The picture on the big screen changed, and the picture of the champion Knicks from the early 70s was shown!

Walter Fraser said: "In '70, '72 and '73, we returned to the Finals three times under the leadership of the red head, and the opponents three times were also Lakers, and we won two and lost one! ”

Mike Brin said: "It was quite a glorious time for the Knicks, and I was honored to sit here with one of the great founders, our champion point guard, Walter! ”

The two hosts reviewed the past of the Knicks in the 70s, and the picture changed again!

The Grand Final Video of '94 is now playing!

Mike Brin said: "In '94, under the leadership of Pat Riley, we returned to the Finals after 21 years, but unfortunately lost to the Rockets 3:4 in the end!" ”

Walter Fraser said: "The remaining two trips to the finals are that Coach Lee led the team to the finals twice. ”

Mike Brin said: "In the past, we reached the Finals eight times, and five times our opponents were Lakers, and this year we met the Lakers, which is the sixth time in the history of the Knicks Finals that we have encountered the Lakers, so it is not unreasonable for Coach Li to say that the Lakers and our Knicks are rivals!" ”

Walter Fraser said: "I also agree that the Lakers are our old enemies, and my teammates and I went to the Finals with the goal of beating the Lakers, and we did. Now I'm old and can't play the ball, so I can only sit on the sidelines as a commentator, but I still have to say that the Knicks can't lose to the Lakers, we have to beat him! ”

Mike Brin said: "Yes, beat the Lakers!" ”

The Knicks home fans also shouted in unison at the moment: "Defeat the Lakers, defeat the Lakers, defeat the Lakers......"

The atmosphere at home was unprecedentedly hot, with players from both sides taking the stage.

First up is the visiting Los Angeles Lakers.

The Lakers' main point guard last season was Mavericks legend Derrick Harper, but he was traded to the Pistons in the offseason and retired before reporting to the Pistons.

This season, the Lakers used their own middle-class exception to sign the Bulls' three-time champion point guard, Phil Jackson's favorite Ron Harper!

In addition, Lakers 80s champion member, All-Star, super defensive giant, Iron Man AC Green, also returned before the season!

So the Lakers' starting five are: Ron Harper, Kobe Bryant, Glenn Rice, AC Green, Shaquille O'Neal.

After the five starters made their debut, the camera gave the coach's seat, Lakers head coach: Phil Jackson!

NBC commentator Costas said: "This is the seventh time that Phil Jackson has led the team to the Finals, the first six times his team has won all six rounds, plus two championship rings when he was a player, Jackson with eight rings in hand is likely to get the ninth ring in his life!" ”

Doug Collins said: "Yes, the Lakers have a big score of 3-1 lead, as long as they win this away game, they will be the champions!" ”

The lights dimmed, the fans started screaming, and then the Knicks players appeared!

Steve Nash, Alan Houston, Tracy McGrady, Kevin Garnett, Da Yao!

The camera was given to the coach's seat, and the one wearing the No. 1 jersey was Li Wei, the head coach of the New York Knicks!

"Coach Lee is the most legendary talent in the country, and he's the most legendary coach in the NBA," Costas said. ”

Doug Collins said: "Li Wei never had any coaching experience before taking over the Knicks, and in his first year as a coach, he set an unprecedented 21-game losing streak in the opening game!" ”

Costas said: "Haha, yes, just when everyone thought that the Knicks were going to be a mess, Coach Lee suddenly shouted the slogan of 21 consecutive wins, and then miraculously led the team to 20 consecutive wins, and finally entered the playoffs in seventh place in the East!" ”

Doug Collins said: "It's amazing how a team that started with a 21-game losing streak can make the playoffs. ”

"It is said that Coach Lee was trying to make the team mess, but on the day of the 21-game losing streak, his daughter got into a fight with the scolding fans in the stadium. Coach Lee was very angry, he thought, 'Does the team want to win or lose, isn't that what I said?' And so the Knicks started the longest winning streak in franchise history! ”

Doug Collins said: "Hahaha, I have also heard this story, and I can only say that Coach Li is indeed a good father, and he doesn't even mess up for his daughter." ”

Costas said: "In the first year of Coach Lee's leadership, he set the longest 20-game winning streak in the history of the Knicks, and then staged the Black Seven Miracle in the playoffs, and in the second year of coaching, he went all the way to the Finals and finally won the championship!" ”

Doug Collins said: "This is Coach Lee's third year in charge, and he has won the best 63 wins in team history, won the Best Manager trophy, and led the team to the finals, which is really amazing! ”

Costas said: "It's a pity that his opponent is Phil Jackson, the coach who has won the most championships after Cardinal Auerbach, and the Knicks are now 1:3 behind, the situation is very unfavorable, whether the great Coach Lee can create another miracle, let's wait and see!" ”
