Los Angeles Lakers, New Orleans Hornets, San Antonio Spurs, Utah Jazz, Houston Rockets, Phoenix Suns, Dallas Mavericks and Denver Nuggets are in eighth order.

Even if the Knicks have the best record in the league, it does not prevent some people from expecting them to be blackened.

The 76ers also showed plenty of confidence, with their centerpiece, Andre Iguodala, saying, "We beat them in the regular season, so we have a chance in the playoffs as well." ”

The first battle between the two sides took place on April 20 at Madison Square Garden, of course.

Standing in the playoffs for four consecutive years, Lehi has been unfazed.

He had a long conversation with Marbury before the game, talking about the other party's deceased father.

Marbury has been in the doldrums for a long time, but has come out now.

He talked about his father who always silently supported him when he was not recognized, and this playoffs he wanted to give all his strength to help the team win the championship and dedicate honor to his heavenly father.

At the beginning of the game, the Knicks managed to grab the opportunity to attack first, but Randolph, who had not played in the playoffs for a while, hit the first iron.

And the 76ers' next offense, Iguodala's shooting was also interfered with by Lehi.

Iguodala had said before the game that he would do his best to limit Lehi, but Lehi would not restrain him, the weakness of the 76ers is obvious, they do not have an aggressive team on offense, Lehi will block their young core.

After Iguodala was restrained by Lehi, 76ers Thaddeus Young stepped up.

The player, who only became a regular in the latter part of the season, is also a non-discriminate player, who can take advantage of Randolph's weaknesses and hit a few shots in the middle distance.

But compared to the Knicks, the 76ers' offense is not so fluid.

Especially when it comes to the bench players, the 76ers clearly show the difference in strength.

The playoffs are still not the same as the regular season, and obviously they are not fully in the groove yet.

In order to be able to play against the Knicks, Iguodala and Andre Miller have almost no rest, which is also the general way for weak teams to deal with strong teams, that is, to fight with core players.

At 51:38, the Knicks led by 13 points at halftime.

'It was a good first half, but don't be careless, they're still adapting to the rhythm of the playoffs, so it should be a little bit tougher in the second half, but as long as we don't make mistakes, they don't have a chance.

In the locker room, Lehi also instructed his teammates who were playing in the playoffs for the first time.

While some teams won't have many opportunities in the playoffs, the Knicks won't be playing with the main players like the opposing team, and they don't have much time in rotation and try not to make mistakes.

In the second half, the 76ers were a lot more difficult, their guard Willie Green showed good touch, and the bench players also played to their strength.

The Knicks didn't take advantage of this quarter, and it also reminded them that they can't take any opponent lightly.

In the final quarter, Andre Miller, who was still experienced in the 76ers, stepped up and constantly caused problems for the Knicks, while Iguodala also found a way to attack the basket.

His physical fitness is very good, it can be said that James is slightly smaller, and under his full impact, Lehi also received two fouls.

However, the 76ers' offense can only keep their score from continuing to be stretched, and it is impossible to catch up with the score, because the Knicks' offense is still very smooth under the control of Lehi.

At 104:90, the Knicks won the first game of the playoffs very smoothly.

In the first game between the east and the west, there was no situation at all, so the outside world seemed very calm at this time.

The Knicks prepared at their own pace, trying to minimize possible surprises.

The second game was still played at the Knicks' home court.

The 76ers started this time better both offensively and defensively than in the first game, and they finally played their own characteristic, which is team offense.

Like the Knicks, they often have several double-doubles in games, but they score slightly less than the Knicks.

After they spread their shots very widely, the Knicks' defense was also affected to a certain extent, but they did not follow the rhythm of the opponent, but broke through the 76ers' defense strongly.

The Knicks, in fact, are not afraid of the other side playing the team, they are a super strong team that can play the team and the star tactics.

Seeing Iguodala not feeling well under Lehi's defense, the 76ers' option was to bypass the core player on offense, with Andre Miller and Samuel Dylem Porter playing mainly.

They also played well and kept the score tight in the first half.

At halftime, the Knicks led 50-44.

Judging from the score, the 76ers have improved a lot from the first game, but this is already their limit.

Their limit is to barely keep up with the Knicks in the score, and if they want to achieve more results, their lineup and style of play are actually very difficult to do.

When they beat the Knicks in the regular season, it was actually when the Knicks didn't put the defense up, and the 76ers' players were full of feelings.

When it comes to the playoffs, the Knicks must have had a lot of defensive intensity at the beginning, and the pressure on the 76ers players themselves is different, so such a situation cannot occur.

In the second half, Iguodala didn't shoot much, just went to the basket, and the 76ers' offense was also impressive, but they could only follow the Knicks.

It was the same in the final quarter, with Andre Miller's organization, they played reasonably, and because of that reason, they couldn't recover the score.

The Knicks are like a mountain, no matter how much they optimize their resources, they are still a little bit short of stepping over the mountain.

At the last moment, they basically didn't shoot three points, they didn't bet, in other words, they didn't have enough passion.

At 105:95, the difference in the score was not huge, but in the whole game, the 76ers did not have any chances.

The overall score is 2:0, and the other games are the same, except for the Rockets and Jazz who are tied 1:1, the other teams with higher rankings lead 2:0.

The playoffs felt underwhelming, but this was just the beginning, and if any team loses their vigilance, an upset could happen.

The Knicks won't lose their guard because Lehi knows what the playoffs are all about.

If you want to stand on the top again, you can't be careless.
