This is the most happy thing for domestic fans to see, and some fans even fantasize about the Knicks and the Rockets facing off in the Finals.

But it's not easy to get to that point, this year's playoffs have good luck for both of their teams, especially the Rockets, the Warriors killed the Mavericks who are the first in the West, but their real level, that is, the eighth in the West, as long as the Rockets don't faint, it is not difficult to enter the Western Conference Finals.

In the other two sets of matchups, the Cavaliers and Pistons fought to a 2:2 draw, and the Spurs and Suns also fought very fiercely and also drawn.

"Let's finish the fight at home today."

On May 15, in the Eastern Conference semifinals, the fifth exchange between the Knicks and the Bulls began.

This time it was the Knicks who took the lead in attacking, and Lehi felt good and hit the first shot.

But the subsequent development was somewhat unexpected by the Knicks, the Bulls actually put offensive firepower on the inside, to be honest, the Bulls' interior defense was okay, but the offense was not good at all.

But PJ Brown felt good on the ball, and after hitting back-to-back shots to attract attention, he also gave Ben Wallace a chance to hit two goals in a row.

This unusual behavior also made the Knicks wary and called a timeout to emphasize the interior defense.

But the defense of the inside line can only be regarded as so-so, and the head coach is extremely unhappy to replace the inside substitute in advance.

The Knicks' interior only needs to be aggressive in executing their tactics, and they can burst out to score in the backcourt.

Although the interior is the Knicks' weakness, it is not the Bulls' strong point, and such an abnormal attack cannot last long.

Still in the first quarter, Lehi did not play all kinds of strong plays, but increased off-ball running, and the team let Marbury or Francis hold the ball on the outside and the interior player to block and dismantle, and let Lehi become the end point of the offense.

That's the strength of the Knicks' backcourt, any of the three of them can attack or be the endpoint, and Lehi is also very sharp when he purely wants to score.

He's fast, and as long as Luol Deng doesn't keep up with him a little, he catches the ball and throws it, and he hits a lot of shots.

The bull made a surprise move against them, and they responded with dignity.

At the end of the first quarter, although the Bulls scored 14 points inside, it was still not as efficient as the Knicks' strong outside line, and the Knicks also led by 5 points at 28:23.

Seeing that they are still behind, the Bulls have no choice but to resort to the next resort.

Lore Deng, Ben Gordon and Hinrich, the three core of the Bulls' scoring, did not go off the court and went straight to Nocioni and Tyrus Thomas, their strongest offensive lineup.

The Knicks' rotation has also become cautious, and only Crawford has been replaced on the outside for the time being.

But at this time, the Bulls found that their players were a little uncomfortable with the breakthrough and transformation of the offensive method, and the shooting rate from the outside was a thump under the Knicks' tight defense.

And Nocioni, who came off the bench, is in a worrying state like this series, and the rookie of Tyrus Thomas can't be magical.

They had to replace the hot PJ Brown in this game, and the result was that PJ Brown scored 20 points in the first half, while the Bulls still trailed.

At halftime, Larry Brown proposed a defensive strategy against PJ Brown, which was not available before, but Larry Brown is very good at defending this kind of jumper inside line.

In the second half, Channing Frye stared at PJ Brown as the head coach asked, not giving him a chance to shoot, compared to the foot, Channing Frye is faster, and PJ Brown is not an interior player who is good at playing strong.

The big capital of 16 million is completely unable to help the bulls offensively.

It is estimated that only the Bulls are willing to pay this large amount of money for the short defensive interior line of age, but the Bulls have also entered the second round, but they could have had Chandler, who will be active on the court for a long time in the future.

After the interior line failed, the Bulls could only rely on Ben Gordon, and among them, only Ben Gordon could often shoot in disregard of defensive intensity, but this depended on fate.

Ben Gordon didn't live up to the team's hopes, hitting two three-pointers in a row.

Then the Knicks attacked harder, with Lehi, Marbury, Francis, Crawford and Richardson all hitting three-pointers in quick succession.

By the end of the third quarter, the Knicks had led by 11 points.

Now the bull has one foot on the cliff, and no miracle is elimination.

They simply didn't even want the inside line, replaced Nocioni and Chris Dujon, and completely bet their hopes on the outside.

With a completely different strategy from the beginning, the Bulls also had no choice.

Seeing the opponent's style of play, the Knicks also made adjustments, they were not afraid of a small lineup, the Knicks did it more thoroughly, let Lehi go to the No. 5 position, Richardson came up to play the No. 4 position, a more pure small lineup, and resolutely did not let the opponent shoot crazy.

The Bulls can't adjust anymore because it doesn't make sense, and now they have a height advantage, and if they go on the inside, the Knicks will also go inside, so let's fight.

Except for Lore Deng who grabbed rebounds inside, the other four Bulls were floating outside trying to solve the problem with three-pointers.

The Knicks aren't afraid of the opposing team's three-point shots, and they can fully keep up.

And they don't have to fight for three points with the opponent, their small lineup is not only on the outside, it should be said that the impact on the basket is the strongest backcourt player.

Lehi singled in the low post, Marbury and Francis broke through, Crawford and Richardson waited outside the three-point line, and shot in the open position, and broke through if it was not in the open position.

Giving up the interior is giving up the deterrent under the basket, and Big Ben scoring on it doesn't help, but it also makes the Knicks have a lot of options to impact the basket, so don't worry about that at all.

And Lehi is on the inside, he is fully capable of protecting the basket, and his ability to assist in defense can completely make the outside players who plan to come in cry, and he can't deal with the inside players, isn't it that he is not on the inside players now.

Ben Gordon hit a three-pointer and Nocioni hit a three-pointer, but the Bulls didn't see any hope because they hit both of them on several shots.

At this time, the score gap between the two sides widened again.

After the two sides played small lineups, Lore Deng was fouled three times, Nocioni was fouled three times, and the Bulls were swept away.

With 1:08 left and 14 points to go, the Bulls came off the bench and they were desperate.

At 102:85, this was the final score, and the Knicks defeated their opponents 4-1 and took the lead in the Eastern Conference Finals.

"It doesn't matter who the opponent is, we're waiting for them at home." When asked by reporters about the game between the Pistons and the Cavaliers, Lehi said domineeringly. (To be continued.) )
