In the playoffs, the Cavaliers' defense became particularly terrifying, and the outside world thought that their defense even surpassed the Knicks, and the Pistons fell and were beaten by the Cavaliers four times in a row, because of the unstoppable James and the defense that was even more suffocating than them

This momentum was already seen last year, and this year it has become a reality. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

James' performance was impeccable, but the previous championship of Lehi and Wade's Eastern Conference showdown weakened his aura of success with the team.

So he's eager to beat Lehi, defeat the Knicks, and stand on top of strong opponents.

"We are united, we are resilient, we can overcome any opponent." When facing media reporters, James is still very domineering.

In the West, Yao Ming and McGrady scored big double-doubles to send the Warriors home, while Duncan taught the Suns to be a man with 9 blocks inside, allowing the Spurs to enter the Western Conference Finals 4:2.

The Western Mesozoic generation is tough, the young generation in the East is in power, no matter who wins or loses, the finals will be a collision of the times, even if the four teams in the Eastern and Western finals are all teams that emphasize defense, but it does not affect the excitement of the game at all.

However, the King vs. James matchup was clearly more popular than the Texas Civil War in the West.

In the same position, with a similar style, who is the league's No. 1 small forward, fans are going to fight on the Internet.

With a few hours to go, there was a home game around Madison Square Garden, and the Knicks had been getting stronger and stronger since they won the championship last year.

Like the players, the enthusiasm of the fans needs to be supported by the results.

Once the game began, it was the Cavaliers who took the lead, as Ilgoskas drew a foul on Eddie Curry and hit two free throws for his first pick on the inside.

Replaced the Knicks' interior offense but was unsuccessful, Eddie Curry was afraid of tall centers before, but Ilgoskas has declined a little this season, Eddie Curry is not a loss, but in the playoffs, it is obviously still a little different.

When it comes to the Eastern Conference Finals, the Knicks' interior line is going to be really tested.

Then James planned to beat Lehi in order to overwhelm the Knicks in momentum.

No matter which opponent faces the Cavaliers, they must defend James strictly, and they will defend Lehi more tightly than against the Knicks, if Lehi can prevent half of the Knicks, preventing James is equal to 80% of the Cavaliers.

The Knicks' countermeasures to defend James have not changed, Lehi is the main defense, a lot of physical contact consumption when there is no ball, pushing people inside when there is the ball, trying to make the opponent jump shot, if James bursts in, he will not hesitate to attack, and would rather let the Cavaliers outside alone.

In addition, on the offensive end, he will try to consume the opponent's energy, and he will definitely not let James play comfortably.

James was blocked by Lehi on the first ball, he didn't choose to pass, but planned to try his touch, Lehi almost sealed it at the moment of James's shot, and most of the distance was under Lehi's explosive power, and he didn't even blink an eye.

James leaned back a little and dodged Lehi's block, but the ball was iron.

When it was the Knicks' turn to attack, James was also clinging to Lehi, and Lehi also took the initiative to ask for the ball.

James' power is indeed terrifying, and it seems to be more difficult to deal with in the regular season in the playoffs, Lehi can squeeze out shooting space when facing many defenders, but he can't do it against James.

He directly started the acceleration, and when he was about to hit James, he suddenly turned his back and squeezed a step inside, and then turned around and leaned back.

It was also iron, and before entering the Eastern Conference Finals, Lehi did not encounter enough weight of one-man defense.

It wasn't just two, and then the two teams didn't hit the ball well.

One is that everyone in the Eastern Conference Finals has not let go, and more importantly, the two teams are directly as if they are playing the last few minutes, and the defense has been extremely strong, as if they don't care what will happen in the next game.

After six games with the Pistons, the Cavaliers' defense seems to have undergone a metamorphosis, perhaps they have long been ready to fight the Knicks, and they are very targeted in the defense of the Knicks.

By the end of the first quarter, neither Lehi nor James had scored, which was a very rare sight.

James simply focused on organizing and letting Larry Hughes and the interior duo play it.

Lehi was also responding to his teammates on offense, but his desire to score with his own hands was stronger than James's, and in the final minute of the first quarter, Lehi finally hit a three-pointer from the outside.

This made James a little uncomfortable, but it was not easy to return the shot, and Lehi's shooting was indeed better than James's.

So in the first quarter, Lehi scored 3 points and James scored 0 points, but Lehi shot two more shots than James.

In the contest of substitutes, the two sides were temporarily half-fought, and the high-intensity defense made Crawford difficult as well, but it was Anderson Vallejo of the Cavaliers who hit a few shots inside.

And Vallejo's scoring is all by fighting for rebounds in the front court.

In fact, the Knicks' shooting percentage is higher than that of the Cavaliers, but the rebounds are not strong, and the score is behind.

Eddie Curry is still old, Channing Fry is too thin, Gortat's strength is still a little worse, and he has less playing time, so he is still a little jerky on such an occasion.

James added more shots after re-entering the game, and finally hit the first goal, and Lehi gradually began to adapt to the confrontation with James, and hit two more goals in a row.

At the end of the first half, the Knicks temporarily trailed 40-42.

When they entered the lounge, Li Hai and the others felt more tired than in the previous games, as if they were about to exhaust their physical strength at halftime.

"Rebounds, protect rebounds, just protect a few more rebounds and we'll win." Coach Larry Brown shouted.

For the first time, he didn't talk about the details, which is enough to pay attention to the lack of rebounding.

It's not the first time this kind of thing has happened, when Lehi's defensive tasks are heavy, he takes less care of rebounding, and at this time, the Knicks' rebounding often has problems.

'The opponent should be tired too, this is our home stadium and I'm sure we can give them more pressure, just a little bit, they can't stand it.' Lehi sat for a while, but then suddenly said.

"yes, we've done our best defending against James and we deserve to win the game." Marbury also got up and said.

"We need to have a little bit of a complete tear through the opposition's defense, and Lehi is under so much pressure to defend that we two have to have someone step up." Francis is also determined.

The Cavaliers' defense did not worry the Knicks, but ignited the players' fighting spirit. (To be continued.) )
