Unlike the third to eighth places in the east that were not confirmed until the last day, the top eight in the west were determined a few days ago.

The defending champion Spurs are ranked first, the Suns are second, the Nuggets are third, and the Mavericks, who have won 60 wins and the second record in the West, can only be ranked fourth in the same division as the Spurs with 64 wins, and the fifth to eighth places are the Grizzlies, Clippers, Lakers, and Kings.

The scoring champion was won by Kobe Bryant with an average of 35.4 points per game, a rare high score in recent years, and the rebounding king was re-won by Kevin Garnett, but unfortunately the Timberwolves couldn't even make the playoffs, and the assist king was also re-won, the winner was Steve Nash, the block king was Marcus Camby, and the steal king was Gerald Wallace, but he also failed to help the Bobcats enter the playoffs.

The Knicks have three days to adjust before their first playoff game, and their last two injured players are also recovering well and will be back at the start of the playoffs.

On April 22, the 2005-06 NBA playoffs officially began, and there was no Knicks on the first day of the game, but because the Rockets did not enter the playoffs, domestic fans focused all their attention on the East, and the Knicks also received huge attention.

For this situation, the Knicks players are very happy, after all, no one dislikes more fans, and some players even have commercial contracts from across the ocean, which makes them very pleasantly surprised.

In the four games on the first day of the playoffs, in the Western Nuggets vs. Clippers, Anthony hit consecutive irons in the last quarter to let the Clippers succeed in the next game, and the Spurs were in a big rage, abusing the Kings by 34 points.

The Eastern Heat easily eliminated the Pacers, O'Neal Jr. was still not as good as O'Neal, the Cavaliers' James made a triple-double, and Carter felt a little old in front of him.

On the second day of the playoffs, the Knicks hosted the Wizards, and their playoffs officially began.

The Wizards are making the playoffs for the second year in a row, and they're looking to make a breakthrough.

The game began with a tsunami of cheers from the New York crowd, the Knicks won the jump ball, Francis dribbled the ball across the half court and gave it to Marbury, Lean Hai came to cover, Marbury was only 45 degrees into the head, and then the ball was dismantled, and Lehi hit a solid shot near the free throw line.

Unlike the Knicks, who began to pursue the details of their tactics in the game, the Wizards directly began to try three points wildly.

Caron Butler, who took the lead, with Butler's height, is still very advantageous at the No. 2 position, much higher than Marbury, but this advantage is not very obvious outside the three-point line, and the three-point is also iron under Marbury's interference.

The Knicks are not in a hurry to get the rebound, the playoffs are different from the regular season, they first have to test the opponent's determination, and they will play more cautiously in the first half.

After Francis dribbled to the frontcourt, he also hoisted into the interior and let Eddie Curry attack, the Wizards' interior Brandon Haywood defense was relatively good, and Eddie Curry turned over and shot and didn't hit.

When it was the Wizards' turn to attack, Antoine Jamison, who was opposite Lehi, slipped past the baseline and ran wildly outside the three-point line.

After Arenas delivered the ball, Jamison was also very decisive, and he shot after receiving the ball, while Lehi had already seen the opponent's intentions and had already blocked the opponent's shot at the same time.

He was quicker than Jamison, and even if he was slightly blocked, he was able to get to the defensive position in time.

Lehi cut off Jamison's shooting lane perfectly, and Jamison hit a three-pointer.

The Knicks were still not in a hurry after getting the rebound, they still handed the ball to Eddie Curry after advancing to the halfcourt, and this time he took the ball and sat inside, his big body Haywood was really a little unstoppable, but Haywood was also very stable in the retreat.

At this time, Lehi got rid of Jamison with a reverse run, and Eddie Curry just felt that he was using more strength on the confrontation, watching Lehi run over, and immediately passed the ball over.

For Eddie Curry, this kind of simple passing is the result of countless training sessions on the team, and even the most complicated ones can't be passed.

Lehi took a step outside the three-point line after receiving the ball, and after Jamison pounced, he made a steady shot, and the basketball went into the net, drawing cheers from the home crowd.

Lehi's three-point shooting rate is one of the three with the highest shooting percentage of the Knicks, the other two are Francis and Jalen Rose, Francis's shooting percentage is still in exchange for less shots, Lehi is considered to be very stable in shooting, and Crawford and Richardson, who shot the most, can only be regarded as average in terms of shooting percentage, completely relying on explosions.

The Knicks have been very consistent in getting into shape, while the Wizards are feeling a little troublesome.

Seeing that his teammates didn't score, Arenas immediately started offensive mode, he is one of the few star players in the league who will start with full firepower, and he just let his teammates play first just because it is the first game of the playoffs, and he intends to be reserved.

Since his teammates were not in good shape, Arenas's reserve immediately broke the mark.

After he scored the Wizards with a perfect pull-up jumper, the Wizards stabilized their emotions.

The Knicks' guard line has struggled to defend a player like Arenas, and the score is tight under his continuous attacks.

It's just that in terms of defense, the Wizards are a lot worse than the Knicks, after a year of training by Larry Brown, plus Lehi's defensive elite, although the Knicks are not the top defensive team in the league, they are also above average, and the Wizards can only be below average.

When their main team is on the court, they can also use offense instead of defense, but when it comes to rotation time, the Wizards' weaknesses on both ends of the floor are exposed.

The Knicks' bench lineup continued the offensive momentum of the main lineup under the leadership of Crawford, while the Wizards' bench lineup looked a little weak.

In this regard, thanks to Larry Brown's coaching, if the Knicks had a few core players like the Wizards who took most of the team's shots, their bench lineup would not have played so well, especially the team's rookie players.

In the first quarter, the Knicks led by 10 points, and they used a smooth performance to announce to everyone that this year's Knicks are different. (To be continued.) )
