Winning this pivotal first game meant a lot to the Knicks. In every sense of the word, it was a very morale-raising victory.

The next fourth game can be said to be a battle of life and death for the Cavaliers, because it is not impossible for teams to come back from a 1-3 deficit, but it is so rare that when a team is 1-3 down, the morale of the players is generally quite low. The desire to fight will not be very strong either. If such a team wants to win the game, the atmosphere of the team will be a big problem, and the solution to this problem is not the leader of the team or the head coach of the team, but no matter who it is, it is a very headache to face such a problem, and this is not something that can be saved by shouting a few slogans before the game.

So, in this crucial fourth game, James showed unprecedented focus and a strong desire to win. In the fourth game, Chen Jiyuan also scored a big double-double of 32 points and 17 rebounds. But it can't withstand the overall outburst of the knights.

Six players on the team scored in double figures, and James slashed 45 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists. A crazy and shocking triple-double led the Cavaliers to a 2-2 draw.

The Knicks' overall shooting percentage was quite low, with Sessions only having 9 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds in the game. 1352827142

Starkey also scored just 14 points. Stephen Jackson played well, mainly because James paid more attention to Chen Jiyuan's defense in this game, and running back and forth will inevitably relax Stephen Jackson's defense a little bit. And Stephen Jackson was able to seize this opportunity, which shows that Stephen Jackson's hand in this game is also very good.

Stephen Jackson scored 22 points in the game. He also had six rebounds and five assists. Although Stephen Jackson scored his most points in the playoffs since coming to the Knicks, the team lost the game.

Love had a double-double of 10 points and 10 rebounds. This two-pair machine qì is still steady dìng brushing their own number jù. But it didn't affect the outcome of the game. And today the Knicks' bench was good, with Crawford scoring 18 points. However, today's Knicks all players did not have a high shooting rate, even Chen Jiyuan, it took 26 shots to score 32 points. Chen Jiyuan scored 32 points on 12-of-26 shooting and 8-of-10 from the free-throw line. The hit rate is also not high.

On the Cavaliers' side, not only did James get a triple-double, Gibson also scored 15 points, Mo Williams scored 10 points, Anderson Vallejo scored 11 points, and Zajunas Ilgoskas scored 10 points. Szczebiak also scored 11 points. All six of the Cavaliers scored in double figures.

The final score was 109:115.

Losing this game makes the Knicks' prospects less clear. If the big score is equalized by the Cavaliers, then the home court advantage of the Cavaliers will return to their hands again.

In the next three games, the Cavaliers have two home-court advantages, so it is natural that the hope of winning is greater than that of the Knicks. However, considering the importance of the battle of Tianwang Mountain, and the fact that this game was played on the home court of the Knicks, it can be said that the game between the Cavaliers and the Knicks is still won or lost. Whether it's the next game or series.

The crucial fifth Battle of Tennoyama was held at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Before the game began, Spike Lee was still on the long side cheering on the Knicks. It's been years since this guy saw the Knicks make it to the Eastern Conference semifinals in the playoffs. As soon as he talked about this matter, our great director burst into tears. Weeping bitterly. In the two away games that the Knicks played in the Cavaliers, Spike Lee would have flown to Cleveland with the team to watch the game if it weren't for the movie. Even in these games, Spike Lee had to put some things down in Los Angeles before he could return to New York. As a world-famous director, Spike Lee naturally doesn't have time every day, but in addition to the events of the past two days, Spike Lee has turned off all the work since then and concentrated on cheering for the New York Knicks. Sit back and wait for the New York Knicks to reach the Eastern Conference Finals.

At the same time, in this game, Britney Ivanka once again appeared at the same time to cheer for Chen Jiyuan and the Knicks team. Ivanka's involvement in the internal management of the Knicks is also known to the outside, but Ivanka is actually a fictitious position, but now because of Britney's relationship, she can make a voice within the management of the Knicks. It is also because of Britney that Latin pays more attention to Ivanka's voice.

In fact, in terms of the internal management of the Knicks now, almost Latin is in charge, and this smart guy, Britney is also self-aware. At the beginning, she competed with Latin for the team building plan, and after winning, Britney's profound guidance, she still had to come to Latin, Britney knew very well that Latin was letting herself, and even more clearly was Latin's favor for herself, and it was precisely because of this confidence that Britney was able to be the boss in the management of the Knicks. In fact, in this way, the current management of the New York Knicks is obviously controlled by Latin, and after James Dolan vaguely mentioned that he would leave more things to the children to do, James Dolan rarely cares about the New York Knicks. And the person who takes over the power of the New York Knicks seems to be James Dolan's daughter Britney Dolan, but in fact, the person who can control the management of the entire New York Knicks is still Latin Dolan, but Latin supports Britney.

In this game, Latin, as the general manager of the team, unexpectedly appeared on the court, in fact, Latin rarely appears on such occasions, Latin, as the actual ruler of the Knicks, will only show his head more when there is a trade, and now, he has become interested in this game, I have to say that it is a change.

This crucial fifth game is about to begin.

Neither the Knicks nor the Cavaliers have changed their starting lineups, with the Knicks still Chen Jiyuan, Love, Stephen Jackson, Starkey, and Sessions.

The Cavaliers' starters are also James, Zajunas Ilgoskas, Anderson Vallejo, Alexander Pavlovich, and Mo Williams.

For such an important match, both sides naturally attach great importance to it.

However, in this game, the shooting rate of the entire Knicks team rebounded, and Sessions, who was beaten in the last game and didn't know his parents, showed how strong his desire to win in this game was at the beginning of the game. In the first quarter of the game, Sessions scored 8 points on 2-of-3 shooting and 4-of-4 free throws, while also dished out five assists and grabbed four rebounds.

Sessions got the same number in the first quarter of the game as he did in the previous game.

Stucky's first quarter game table was decent, but Starkey contributed a lot of strength on the defensive end, and when defending Alexander Pavlovich and Gibson, Starkey was excellent, so it also made Thibodeau very satisfied, so Thibodeau arranged for Stakey to play the entire first quarter of the game, and Thibodeau never had a certain time to replace Tony Allen. It is mainly decided by looking at the opponent and Starkey's table. In fact, Thibodeau really likes Starkey, a good player, because this child's strength is better, although he is a little short in height on the scoring guard, but his breakthrough ability and confrontation ability are relatively good, if he exercises more, Thibodeau feels that Starkey has the potential to become a strong player on the defensive end, and at the same time can cause damage on the offensive end. Because the current Starkey is slightly lacking in organizational ability on the offensive end, Thibodeau does not let Sessions become the team's starting point guard, and let Starkey play point guard.

This leads the team to have a little flaw in the shooting guard, because once the opponent's scoring guard is tall, then Starkey will be quite difficult to defend, although Tony Allen is not tall, but Tony Allen is a very smart defender, good at using his strong body to make the shooter lose the rhythm of shooting. The goal of a successful defense has been achieved.

For this, Starkey can't do it. This is also the reason why Thibodeau admires Stucky very much, but has to put Stucky off the field at some times, because in Thibodeau's heart, the offensive scene must not be as big as the defense.

Stephen Jackson's brave performance of not playing is also a decent one. As for Lefou, it was in the first quarter of the game, and a large part of Sessions' assists were given to Lefou, who was 4 of 7 in the first quarter of the game today, scoring 8 points and 4 rebounds.

After Lefou's outside shooting touch, his play on the inside line was also good.

However, although the Knicks' other players are good, Chen Jiyuan's performance is terrible. In the first quarter of the game, Chen Jiyuan shot 0 of 5 and scored 2 points only by making free throws.

The Knights' defensive strategy against Chen Jiyuan has not changed much. It's not that Chen Jiyuan wraps up every time he gets the ball, on the contrary, because Chen Jiyuan doesn't feel good today, the Cavaliers are not so strict with Chen Jiyuan's defense. just let Anderson Vallejo follow Chen Jiyuan alone, not so that Chen Jiyuan is comfortable.

The Cavaliers' first-quarter game was pretty good, with James scoring nine points and four assists, and Gibson hitting two three-pointers to score seven points after playing four minutes.

Zajunas Ilgoskas, who started the game, also hit three high-post jumpers to finish with six points. Anderson Vallejo was similar to Chen Jiyuan, Anderson Vallejo was very uncomfortable defending by Love in the first quarter of the game and did not score a point. Only grabbed 4 rebounds.

In the first quarter of the game, the score of the two sides was 25:26. The Knicks are one point behind for the time being.
