In the first half of the game, the Wizards' three musketeers Arenas, Butler, and Jamison were not in very good shape, but their high forward Jarred Jeffries felt good. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But Jarred Jeffries wasn't a game-changing player, and the Knicks continued to maintain the advantage of the bench players after the Knicks came on in the second quarter, ending the first half with a 50-36 victory.

"We have to continue to defend well in the second half, we must be beautiful and win the first win, not to mention the attack, you are all masters."

"Lee, do you want to steal the position of coach, you better hurry up and rest, it's not the first time to play the playoffs, and you're so excited, hahaha......"

Playing the game he wanted, the Knicks' lounge was still very relaxed and enjoyable.

After Lehi appeared in the second half, he also led by example, almost leaving Jamison without a chance to shoot, in fact, with Jamison's body, if he played in the low post, he might have a certain chance, but unfortunately Jamison only seems to be used to shooting now.

The Wizards still didn't find their rhythm in the third quarter, and someone stepped up when the roster rotated, but it wasn't one of the three musketeers who stepped up, but their bench player Antonio Daniels, who hit a couple of good shots in a row to keep the score from expanding again.

Late in the third quarter, Channing Frye and Quentin Richardson came on.

Richardson didn't seem to have adjusted his hand and missed two shots, but Channing Frye didn't have stage fright because of his first playoff game and hit a three-pointer beautifully.

Seeing that Channing Frye's physical condition is no longer a problem, Larry Brown has no intention of replacing him, playing against the Wizards, the Knicks' height is still a little disadvantaged, Channing Frye is taller than David Lee, has a longer range, and is more suitable for the team's tactical needs.

By the fourth quarter, the Wizards had finally woken up.

It was Arenas who took the lead, first breaking through to the interior to make a foul and get a free throw, then hitting a three-pointer and giving Jamison a well-placed assist.

Seeing that the other party was going to be imposing, the Knicks decisively called a timeout.

The Knicks once again emphasized the defensive strategy, cutting off the connection between Arenas and other players, blocking and dismantling substitutions, the opponent rushed to the interior to actively make up for the defense, don't be afraid of fouls, the Knicks are just players who can play the game, they have to be more than the opponent, and they are not afraid to fight with the opponent with bayonets at all.

The Wizards' offense finally got normal at the most critical moment, but it was still a little late, and the Knicks didn't fall behind in addition to strengthening their defense.

As long as they can play offense, the Wizards won't be able to close the score.

After Arenas came on the court, he felt the change in the Knicks' defense, and he was also ruthless, constantly hitting the inside, with a desperate posture.

The Knicks didn't blindly follow the opposition, most of them had playoff experience, and they knew they were the lead and couldn't afford to mess with them.

At 5:34, Lehi broke through Jamison to complete a dunk and restore the Knicks' lead to double digits again.

At 4 minutes and 26 seconds, Lehi scored 2+1 in the Knicks' counterattack, and the Knicks' lead came to 15 points.

Seeing that the score could not be resolved for a long time, Arenas became even more anxious, and he began to try three points in a row, but at this time the Knicks were focusing on him, and his three-point shooting rate was not high at all.

As the game entered the third minute, the Wizards began to try foul tactics.

The Knicks replaced Eddie Curry, and the players who stayed on the court were sure of free throws.

When the game entered the last 1 minute, Arenas took the initiative to commit six fouls, and the Wizards completely gave up the game, 99:85, and the Knicks won easily.

Lehi had 29 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists, and he was as perfect as the team.

In the other three games of the day, the Mavericks' Nowitzki was unstoppable and led the team to a light victory over the Grizzlies, the Lakers lost to the Suns after a hard-fought battle, and the Eastern Pistons beat the Bulls without suspense.

Except for the Nuggets' loss to the Clippers, other teams can show normal strength, but it can't be said to be an accident, after all, the ranking is affected by the division, and in terms of record, the Clippers are better.

On April 24, the Nuggets lost to the Clippers again, and Anthony kept hitting the iron, like sleepwalking.

After choosing Anthony, the Nuggets have entered the playoffs for three consecutive years, but in the playoffs, Anthony's performance will be lowered by a notch, and the Nuggets are estimated to have changed.

Lehi originally wanted to send a text message to comfort Anthony, but he still controlled it, and at this time, Anthony's self-esteem was estimated to be unbearable.

When interviewed by reporters, Lehi only answered questions about the Knicks.

"Our goal now is to beat the Wizards, and everything we said before that was false."

"The team is well prepared, but it's not about revenge, we're going to win it one game at a time."

In another game on the 24th, the Heat also beat the Pacers again and took a 2-0 lead.

On the 25th, the second game of the Knicks against the Wizards began.

Arenas also said that the Wizards have summed up the mistakes of the game and they will definitely be able to win.

"Defenses at a playoff level, you have to give them no chance."

In the playoffs, Lehi also kept talking about defense, just like Larry Brown.

Offense wins games, defense wins championships, and Lehi is a true believer in this saying.

The opponent was indeed well prepared in this game, not only Arenas put on a strong offensive posture, but Butler also swept away the decline and scored points in a row.

Butler's state should be normal, the Wizards put him in the No. 2 position, just because they fancy his physical advantage, whether the Knicks are starters or benches, there is no physical fitness comparable to Butler on the guard line.

However, Butler is actually a small forward, and the Wizards probably put on such a lineup for a height advantage, and his skills are not as delicate as guards, which is also his shortcoming.

As for Jamison, whether he appears at the No. 3 position or is traded with Jarred Jeffries to No. 4, under the watchful eye of Lehi, he wants to explode but can't do the other two.

But in terms of defense, the Wizards are still not as good as they should be, and they let Butler, who has the strongest outside defense, mark Lehi in this game, but to be honest, even if Butler's footsteps are stronger than Jamison, he still can't compare to Lehi, but he has no advantage in height.

So, Lehi made Butler back two fouls in the first quarter.

The audience resounded with the shouts of the MVP, and although Lehi felt that he was not there yet, the cheers of the audience made his blood boil. (To be continued.) )
