The next day, the Knicks' first playoff game of the 2008-09 season officially kicked off, with the first game taking place at Madison Square Garden in New York.

In the past two years, the Knicks have gradually improved, which has made the fans in New York more and more crazy, and now it is just the beginning of the playoffs, and the fans in New York are already very crazy to cheer for the players at home.

These fans have been waiting for the rise of the Knicks for too many years, and now the Knicks are not only not the bottom team of that shit, but they have also become a strong contender for the Eastern Conference championship, and even in the championship race.

The Knicks are facing the Heat at home, Wade is a man who has already won the championship after all, and it is no surprise for a scene like the Knicks, even if the Knicks fans are booing Wade, it may not be able to have any impact on Wade, but if Wade is difficult to score and lose his cool when he is defended, he may start to notice these boos, and then it will be even more difficult to control his mood. At that time, the effect of this boo will make Wade very uncomfortable.

The Knicks players and the Heat players have warmed up, after all, it is the first playoff game of the season, and there will still be many people on the Knicks' side who will feel nervous, such as this year's rookie, Kevin Love, although Lefu doesn't say it, but his nervousness can still be felt very clearly.

After all, Starkey and Sessions are both players who have experienced the playoffs, so they are not as nervous as Love.

As for Chen Jiyuan, he will not feel nervous, it can be said that Chen Jiyuan is also more experienced in the playoffs, since entering the league, Chen Jiyuan will not miss the playoffs every day. This also has something to do with luck, because Chen Jiyuan's team is actually a strong team, although the Knicks were not a strong team at that time, but Chen Jiyuan made a big change after coming to the Knicks, and most of the heart players in exchange are based on instant combat power, and every player is quite powerful. However, thanks to the fact that the Knicks are in the East, otherwise, it's really hard to say whether they can make the playoffs in the first year.

In this part of the player introduction, Chen Jiyuan was the last to play, and when Chen Jiyuan appeared, there were crazy shouts all over the sky, and the shouts of MVP resounded throughout the audience.

Fans in New York are picky and want to keep them satisfied. It's difficult, but the fans in New York are crazy at the same time, and if you're their king, then no one can be disrespectful to their king in any way. Otherwise, there will be very strict consequences.

Now in the competition for the regular season MVP, Chen Jiyuan is not hopeless, or it can be said that Chen Jiyuan is one of the two people who can threaten James the most, one is Kobe Bryant, and the other is Chen Jiyuan.

Chen Jiyuan is definitely able to pose a considerable threat to James in all aspects. In fact, it is also very difficult to confirm whether Chen Jiyuan can become the MVP of the regular season this year, after all, compared with James, although James's number jù is very luxurious, but Chen Jiyuan's is also good, although James's Hollinger efficiency value is a little higher, but Chen Jiyuan's is also above 30, although James is a star in the league and a big weapon for Stern to attract fans, but Chen Jiyuan's advantage as a yellow race is also incomparable to James. Behind Chen Jiyuan stands the Asian Chinese market, which is quite a huge market, and this market is not ordinarily big for Stern.

Therefore, after playing this wonderful season, Chen Jiyuan is also very unsure whether he can get the regular season MVP.

However, that is what the top management of the league needs to consider, and what Chen Jiyuan needs to consider is to do his best to kill the Heat and advance to the next round. This is what Chen Jiyuan needs to do.

The first playoff game is just around the corner.

The starting lineup on the Knicks' side is Sessions, Starkey, Stephen Jackson, and Love. Chen Jiyuan.

The Heat's starting lineup is Dwyane Wade. James Jones, Mario Chalmers, Udunis Haslem, Jermaine O'Neal.

The game began with the referee's whistle. Chen Jiyuan and Jermaine O'Neal competed for the ball, Chen Jiyuan mastered the actual take-off and successfully dialed the ball to Sessions. Sessions slowly picked up and ran forward.

Although Sessions is not very experienced in the playoffs, he is not a playoff novice after all, so he is not nervous about the playoffs, but Lefou's actions are a little stiff, it is obvious that Lefu is nervous, but everyone has to go through this level, unless it is a pervert like Chen Jiyuan. to be able to have super strong strength psychologically.

When Lefu attacked for the first time, he was nervous because Chen Jiyuan stepped forward to block Sessions. Sessions took advantage of Chen Jiyuan's cover and walked inside, but Lefu didn't know how to do it, and went to the wrong position, and what was even funnier was that when the kid saw Sessions throwing, he even stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to defend Sessions, which stunned Sessions. As a result, Sessions' throw was deflected, and after Udonis Haslem protected the backcourt rebound, Udonis Haslem passed the ball directly to Wade, who himself dribbled the ball to advance in the frontcourt. Wade is running at a fast pace, hoping to play a quick offensive and defensive transition, but the Knicks are still making great progress in this area under Thibodeau's tutelage, and the current Knicks are no longer the team that was scored more than 100 points by opponents from time to time last season. The Knicks' defensive intensity is much stronger now than before.

The speed of the return defense was quite fast, and Wade didn't have any good chances. If you force it, the certainty is not very large, and it is completely unnecessary.

So Wade waited for his teammates to come over and settle into position before he started attacking.

Wade and Udonis Haslem cooperated in blocking and dismantling, and Lefu was originally defending Udonis Haslem, but this ball, because Wade's speed and explosiveness are very strong, so Lefu and Sessions can only change defenses. This was the right script.

However, the realistic script is that Sessions was blocked to death, and there was no way to chase Wade at all, not only by Udonis Haslem, but also by the role of Lefou's body, after Sessions was blocked, he raised his head too much, and glanced at Lefu with an unbelievable expression, Lefu came back to his senses after this glance, and turned around to chase Wade, but Wade had already completed this dunk, and it was a matter of seconds at all. 0:2。

Lefou's performance is not only bad, it can be said to be very bad, completely disrupting the smoothness of the Knicks' offense and defense, and making the Knicks completely fall into the wrong rhythm.

This kind of nervousness is very bad for the team, of course Chen Jiyuan also discovered this, Chen Jiyuan served to Sessions, Sessions received the ball and dribbled forward, Chen Jiyuan ran out of the bottom line, caught up with Lefou, patted Lefou's shoulder, although this may not be useful, but Chen Jiyuan feels that doing is always better than not doing.

After halftime, the Knicks attacked this time, Chen Jiyuan reached out to ask for the ball, and the player who defended the Knicks was Jermaine O'Neal, the same name as the big shark, and at the same time, both of them are also very powerful stars, of course, the big shark is stronger. But O'Neal Jr., at his peak, was also the league's strongest power forward. It's just that that's already before, and the current O'Neal Jr. is no longer the All-Star power forward who averaged 20+10 per game. Although the current O'Neal has not completely fallen to the lowest point of his life, it is almost the same, and the current O'Neal has just transferred from the Raptors, and his average per game can be 13 points and 5.4 rebounds. At the age of 10, O'Neal Jr. at that time was at the lowest point in his life, and O'Neal Jr. at that time could only average 5 points and 3 rebounds per game.

Chen Jiyuan faced O'Neal's defense, turned his back directly, and chased him for a back-to-back single. O'Neill Jr. is a great defender. has both height and strength of the situation, but that is the pinnacle of little O'Neal, now little O'Neal's physical condition is declining, and his athleticism is not as good as before, Chen Jiyuan's ball, after leaning on little O'Neal, came to a turn-over jumper, shot directly, no feints, but little O'Neal just can't prevent it, and the progress goal depends on Chen Jiyuan's feel, and Chen Jiyuan's feel seems to be okay, so the ball entered the basket steadily. 2:2。

In fact, Chen Jiyuan's ball just wants to try his own feel and find his own feel, and now it seems that today's feel is not bad. Then the problem comes, at this time, the Heat should soon be in the bag. How to break the bag has become something that Chen Jiyuan needs to consider.

Now that Lefu is in such a state, once the opponent is O'Neill Jr. and Udonis Haslem wrapping Chen Jiyuan, Chen Jiyuan is really a little worried about passing the ball to Lefu.

The Heat attacked, Wade forced the ball to break through Starkey, Wade is very strong, but Starkey is also relatively strong, and it is quite good to be able to not be passed by Wade in one step in the confrontation with Wade. However, Wade retreated a small step, and then changed direction in an instant, and passed Starkey in a big step, and Chen Jiyuan stepped forward to make up for the defense. Wade took a step back to the right, then made a two-point shot, but the ball didn't go in.

Although Lefu was not in shape, the ball still successfully protected the backcourt rebound.
