Chapter 91: The Eighth in the East

After Li Haihai played the game, he strictly guarded Hinrich, and when he encountered the cover of the Bulls, he also squeezed over as soon as he encountered the cover of the Bulls, he didn't care about other people at all, he just stared at Hinrich. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

was marked by Lehi with all his might, and it was difficult to even get a chance to shoot with Hinrich's style of play.

Lehi is now worried about Ben Gordon's side, and without his defense, Ben Gordon's touch will be troublesome if he comes back.

Sometimes on the court, it's just that I'm afraid of what's coming.

While Lehi was still worried, Ben Gordon broke through Crawford's defense and hit a two-point shot.

Damn, that feeling was terrible, and Lehi gritted his teeth and rushed to the opponent's half.

When the ball is in his hands, he becomes Hinrich in front of him, and when the Bulls are three guards, the burden of defense will fall to Hinrich.

Lehi steadied his breathing, squeezed straight over after a tentative step, and pulled up near the free throw line.

If the opponent scores, then he will score.

The Bulls put three guards on the court, and the offense is more flexible, but on defense, none of them want to stop him from shooting.

The basketball hollowed into the net, just like a shooting practice, and Li Hai's eyes were extremely determined at this time.

He hit back-to-back shots, but Ben Gordon wasn't as consistent as he was, and with 10 seconds left in the game, his score gave the Knicks a three-point lead.

The Knicks did a great job of defending the Knicks in the end, not giving the Bulls any chances, and Tyson Chandler's final dunk on the inside didn't make any sense.

The Knicks narrowly defeated their opponents 92-91 on the road, winning four in a row.

The Nets and Cavaliers also won their opponents separately, and the records of the three teams are still the same.

But after the final game of the regular season on April 20, both teams will not be able to make the playoffs.

The three teams also have the same win percentage against each other, but according to the small rules, the Knicks are eighth in the East, while the Cavaliers, who were sixth in the East a few days earlier, fall to 10th.

As long as they win the last game, the Knicks can make the playoffs, and their fate is already in their own hands.

In the last game, the Knicks played at home against the HSD Wizards, who were fifth in the East, the Nets were against the Celtics, who were third in the East, and the Cavaliers were against the Raptors, who could not make the playoffs.

Now the rankings of the other teams in the East have been decided, except for the eighth-place battle, and the top seven teams are already considering the playoffs except for the three teams.

Neither the Wizards nor the Celtics cared who the eighth team in the East would be, and arranged for the interior players to rest as if they didn't care about themselves.

At this time, the opponent will obviously not do their best, and whether they can enter the playoffs depends on their own performance.

Then in the first quarter, the Knicks were beaten by the Wizards.

Antoine Jamison scored just two points under Lehi's tight guarding, but Gilbert Arenas and Larry Hughes were both in red-hot form, leading the Wizards to 36 points in the first quarter and leading the Knicks by eight points.

"Brothers, we can't let the other side score like this, we should play aggressively, and if we win this game, we can enter the playoffs, and if we lose this time, there is no point in fighting for this time."

"There will be no change in their winning or losing rankings, so I don't believe they dare to fight with us." Lehi almost yelled during the break in the game.

As long as they fight a little more, the Wizards will definitely be afraid of the main players being injured, and at this time, the barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes, and the Knicks are just enough to be single.

As Lehi said, after the Knicks' players stepped up their defensive aggression in the second quarter, both Gilbert Arenas and Larry Hughes saw their shooting percentages drop considerably.

And Antoine Jamison was replaced by Wizards head coach Eddie Jordan, Eddie Jordan saw Lehi's menacing appearance, and he was really afraid that the player would be injured.

At halftime, the Knicks chased the deficit to just four points.

By the third quarter, Arenas was still in hot form, his first playoff trip was just around the corner, and Agent Zero seemed to be particularly excited.

After back-to-back three-pointers, Arenas squeezed past Marbury and shot to the basket.

Lehi made up for it as soon as possible, jumped high and flew Arenas's layup.

Li Hai couldn't control it when he was on the outside, but as long as the other party wanted to kill in, he definitely didn't agree.

The murderous aura on Lehi's body also infected his teammates, and the Knicks played exceptionally aggressively.

The Wizards have also shortened the playing time of their main players, and if a player is injured in the final regular season game, the team that is going to play the playoffs will definitely not allow it.

Lehi, Marbury, and Crawford are fighting on the court, and if they don't win this game, they will have to watch TV at home in the playoffs.

Crawford and Marbury fired from the outside, while Lehi kept picking up the inside.

The Wizards have the height, but no one can keep up with him, and he has to make sure the offense is successful.

At the end of the third quarter, the Knicks were just three points away.

Crucially, they withstood the stage where Arenas felt his best.

In the fourth quarter, the Knicks went directly to all the main forces except Tim Thomas, and the victory or defeat was fought here.

The Wizards' three firepower points didn't come up, and their main offensive player became interior backup Kwame Brown.

The '01-year-old parallel champion has an advantage in height, and he still has a certain advantage in the face of the Knicks' interior line.

But without outside firepower, the Wizards are wolves without claws, without a little threat.

Lehi first broke through and drew two fouls on Kwame Brown, and then assisted Crawford twice to hit a three-pointer, and the Knicks were in complete control of the situation on the court at once.

With Marbury assisting Lehi hitting a three-pointer to stretch the lead to 10 points, the Wizards have completely lost their fighting spirit.

In the face of a pure bench opponent, the Knicks did not let their guard down, and fought diligently until the last minute, and there was no room for surprises in this game.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the players on the Knicks bench rushed to the court at once.

At 113:105, they got their 42nd and most important win of the season.

They weren't good enough and the atmosphere wasn't great, but now everyone's hearts are happy that they're in the playoffs, even if it's eighth in the East.

Their playoff opponent is the Miami Heat, who are No. 1 in the East, and they have been beaten to death in the regular season.

No one thinks they have a chance, and most people think they'll be swept by the Heat.

But Lehi didn't care, it was his first playoff game.

"We're in the playoffs and we're going to have the opportunity to keep fighting, so I'm going to keep giving it my all, no matter who the opponent is."
