Chapter 244: Strong Enemy in the Finals

The first to hit back was Crawford, who accepted the position of the team's sixth man, and couldn't stand the bench play of other teams being treated well, especially when the opponent was still a rookie. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Gibson's height and weight can't prevent any of the Knicks from the outside, and Crawford hits a three-point shot against the opponent's defense, sounding the horn of the Knicks' attack.

The current situation of the Cavaliers is that they can't have both offense and defense, and even if there are players on the court who feel hot, it is meaningless if they can't stop the Knicks' offense.

But they can't take care of it, they have tried to defend seriously, and that way doesn't work.

After the Knicks adopted a targeted defense, Gibson's side was not so easy to score, after all, he was not good at creating scoring opportunities on his own.

And the Cavaliers also encountered a problem, that is, Ilgoskas's physical strength has declined, and he can no longer keep up with the rhythm, whether to hold the position and fight properly, or fight.

Soon, they couldn't be allowed to observe slowly, and with the return of the Knicks' main team, the score began to open again, and if they didn't fight, the season was coming to an end.

So the Cavaliers pulled down Ilgoskas to get the team up to speed.

None of the teams with the Knicks have taken advantage of the speed, but they have to do it, and if you don't change, you die, and there is a glimmer of hope for change, or there will be a change in your heart.

After changing the lineup, the Cavaliers still let James kill inside, and only in this way can they create as many opportunities as possible, whether James scores by himself or points out.

Their purpose is too obvious, Lehi is clinging to James, and at this time, there is no need to care about the problem of physical strength at all, the problem of consumption, James is bigger than him.

The Cavaliers can't play any other tricks now, they can only expect the players to burst out, but the first offense after the timeout did not go well, James forced the ball in and was closed, and his teammates missed the pass.

The Knicks attacked Lehi with his back to the ball, and Francis stepped in to create a foul.

Without Ilgoskas, the Cavaliers' protection in the box is not so good, and this is the price of fighting.

James then managed to cause a foul on Channing Frye, standing at the free throw line but only hitting one of two free throws.

Before this game, he had good free throws, but by this time, there were problems as well.

Huge pressure, physical exertion, James is not a god, he can pull the Pistons off the horse, but he can't take out the more powerful Knicks by himself.

At 5:18, Lehi hit a two-pointer to give the Knicks an eight-point lead at 91:83.

At 3:21, Marbury hit a free throw to give the Knicks a 10-point lead at 98:88.

The Cavaliers called a timeout, but they ran out of moves, and they switched on veteran Marshall and bet their hopes on shooting from the outside.

After they came on the court again, they kept trying three-point shots, and even James made two three-point shots.

However, they did not continue the miracle of the previous home game, and James's three points were all iron.

Time is getting less and less, and the Cavaliers are slowly losing hope, and in the last three minutes, except for James who scored 4 points, the other players of the Cavaliers did not score a point.

The Knicks won the Cavaliers 103-92 on the road and won the Eastern Conference championship for the second year in a row.

The moment the whistle blew, Lehi clenched his fists in front of his chest, and his teammates on the bench rushed up and hugged the main team, regardless of the loneliness of the opposing home crowd, because they were the winners and they were entitled to the victory.

Once again, they're going to the Finals, and this time against the Spurs.

Before the finals began, the two points were touted to each other.

Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said in an interview with reporters: "Lehi is a good player, and I always tell the guys on the team, you have to learn from the guys in the game, and then I can take it easy." ”

When Li Hai expected the opponent he was about to meet, he also smiled: "They are strong opponents, and the game is like this, there will always be some opponents that you don't want to meet." ”

"There are no grudges, can what happens on the pitch be a grudge, I believe that their defense will not deliberately target the players."

Although everyone is half-truths and half-truths, the Spurs are indeed an opponent that the Knicks do not want to meet.

At a time when O'Neal's power is gradually declining, who wants to meet Duncan, who is still so difficult.

This time they have home advantage, so the game will be played in New York, and they will have more initiative to get off to a good start.

And the public opinion outside is not very optimistic about them, the defending champions, and it is ironic that they relied on luck to enter the finals, and they did not encounter real strong opponents in the previous games.

Even the Cavaliers have to fight hard for six games, and it will definitely be no fun to meet the Spurs.

The media that supports the Knicks is a counterattack, the Spurs are lucky, relying on the Mavericks' accidental black eight, the Knicks All-Star are all three starters, and the Spurs rely on what to win.

The war of words from the outside world has no effect on the game, and a few days before the Knicks Finals, they are also conscientiously conducting targeted training.

The most troublesome thing for the Spurs is the GDP combination, and it is difficult to limit it with the Knicks' defense, and the three people with extremely lethal power are definitely more troublesome than James alone.

In addition to Parker and Duncan, veteran Michael Finley is still able to play, and he also has a height advantage against the Knicks' backcourt, while Bowen is very accomplished defensively and does not worry about being consumed on the offensive end.

On the bench, Ginobili is a bit more troublesome than Crawford.

And when all of their firepower is on the court, they are the only team in the entire league that can wrestle with the Knicks in offense and defense, and the configuration is more balanced.

Although they haven't played against the Spurs this season, the Spurs' tough Lehi is clear.

"I think we have to get ahead of the curve, whether it's the whole finals stage or a single game, we can do it."

On the first day of the Finals, all the Knicks players gathered together and were extremely excited about the upcoming Finals.

Only if they can win the championship in a row can they be a real strong team, and now the opportunity is in front of them.

Not only the players, but even the fans are looking forward to it, because there are not many teams that can do it, before the Lakers, and before that, the Bulls.

"I'm so nervous that I can't sleep, you're going to defend your title."

"It's going to be a good series, I know that, so I'm not going to lose sleep and the Knicks are going to have the last laugh."

"Just pretend, it's been so long to lie down."

On June 7, the first game of the 2006-2007 Finals season was played at Madison Square Garden, and the resurgent Knicks faced off against the Spurs, a powerhouse in the West. (To be continued.) )
