The list of East and West finals is out. The time is out.

The first game in the East will be played first, on May 16.

The race in the West is the day after that. In the future, too, the finals in the East are one day earlier than the finals in the West. This is also to expand the interests of the alliance. After all, there are only four teams left for two games.

Of course, it is better to put it on a different day so that more people can watch it.

First up was the Eastern Conference Finals.

In the game between the Knicks and the Celtics, the Knicks' record is the first in the league, and they absolutely have the advantage of home court no matter against any team.

The first race was held at Madison Square Garden in New York. It's the same as last season, no, it's a little different, it's that the fans are even crazier than last season.

Last season's Knicks, stumbling into the Eastern Conference finals, before the game with the Celtics, no one was optimistic that the Knicks could defeat the Celtics to enter the Finals, but this year is not the case, this year's Eastern Conference Finals, compared with the Celtics and the Knicks, there are relatively more people who are optimistic about the Knicks.

One of the greatest centers, Olajuwon, said in an interview: "I have reason to believe that the Knicks will win this series and advance to the Finals." Of course, anyone will admit that the Celtics are a very strong team, and the two-time champion Celtics are even more experienced, but we must know that Chen has grown into the strongest center in the league, and Chen can play an unparalleled fighting force against any team. I don't think the Celtics were able to limit Chan very well. This may be a reason for them to fail,"

In any case, Chen Jiyuan used to study under Olajuwang, so Olajuwon is still more on Chen Jiyuan's side.

Not to mention Ewing, no matter what aspect of the relationship is discussed, Ewing is definitely a die-hard supporter of Chen Jiyuan and the Knicks. Ewing definitely wants the Knicks to beat the Celtics to the head.

Killing those Boston bastards and beating their moms who didn't even know them, Ewing's support for the Knicks was definitely up to that level.

In an interview with reporters, Robert Parrish replied in the affirmative: "Of course the Celtics will win this series." It's true that Chan is a very good center, but Kevin is also good in our team, and our team is obviously stronger. Naturally, this series can be won. Although it is possible that the opponent will be able to win one or two games. ”

No matter what these Hall of Fame guys say, it's still unknown who will win or lose the game.

On the 16th, the game officially began.

When I entered, the atmosphere in the stadium went crazy in an instant.

Before going on the field, Chen Jiyuan said hello to some people on the sidelines. Chen Jiyuan's celebrity friends are not many. But there are still a lot of nodding acquaintances.

However, there were a few people watching the game from the sidelines, and Chen Jiyuan had to say a few words.

Britney and Ivanka are a must. Britney is obviously excited, no matter what, this is her dream, to save the Knicks who were played bad by her own dad and make the Knicks a strong team in the league. This is all Britney's dream. Now that the team is in such a state, how can Britney not be excited.

Ivanka is a little better than Britney, but with so much enthusiasm from the fans, it's obviously hard to stay calm.

Britney looked at Chen Jiyuan with an irrepressible look of excitement: "Era, blow them up, beat them hard." Britney's eagerness to try made Chen Jiyuan very suspicious, if there was a real fight on the field, Britney would not rush out all of a sudden.

Ivanka smiled and said, "Come on! It's time to make your dreams come true. ”

Chen Jiyuan also smiled and nodded, "Of course I won't let go of this opportunity." ”

After that, Chen Jiyuan ushered in the most die-hard fans of the Knicks and one of the guys who supported the Knicks the most - Spike Lee.

Spike Lee, wearing the number 27 jersey, stretched out his fist. and Chen Jiyuan had a fist bump.

Li clenched his fists and said with a resolute expression: "Knock over the group of guys on the other side." Win this game. ”

Chen Jiyuan's recovery was a big OK gesture. With a reassuring look on the outside.

After that, Chen Jiyuan also bumped fists with Lindesey Lohan, Lindesey Lohan was even crazier than Li, and said directly to Chen Jiyuan: "Chen, go up to cao and turn over the group of bitches on the other side, cao kill them, let them know how good we are." Tell the bitches that this year's New York Knicks are going to win the championship, and it's not something they can stop. ”

Chen Jiyuan patted Lindsey Lohan on the shoulder and said silently: "I like women, so it's better to overturn them." ”

The race is about to begin.

When Chen Jiyuan came to the middle of the arena, he just raised his hands, and what followed was the crazy cheers of the audience.

“MVP！” The sound is endless. The sound resounded in the sky, as if it was about to overturn Madison Garden Plaza.

The Knicks' starters are Chen Jiyuan, Love, Sessions, Stephen Jackson, and Iguodala, and nothing has changed.

The five guys on the Celtics' side are Garnett, Ray Allen, Pierce, Rondo, and Perkins.

Perkins as a defensive defender on the inside. To defend Chen Jiyuan, he still has to rely on Perkins to be the first line of defense.

As soon as the referee's whistle blew, the game officially began.

Chen Jiyuan and Perkins jumped the ball, and there was no suspense at all. The Knicks attacked first.

Sessions dribbled through the half. Rondo, who defended Sessions, made Sessions also very stressed.

The current Rondo is no longer the same Rondo of last year.

has just become the league's steal king, and his defensive strength is very strong, averaging 13.7 points, 9.8 assists and 4.4 rebounds per game this season.

Although Rondo's growth is a very good thing for the Celtics, it has strengthened the Celtics. Especially in the past two years, when the Big Three have been able to resist the weakening brought about by aging.

However, there is also a discordant side to Rondo's strengthening, that is, Rondo has begun to ask for more things, and has begun to be dissatisfied with being a little brother next to the Big Three. Rather, they want to be the so-called Big Four.

The Big Three are all veterans, but they can handle these problems. Especially when Rondo was offered a five-year, $55 million contract. The discordant sound died down more quickly.

Now, whether it is Rondo, the Big Three, or the rest of the Celtics, there is only one thing on their minds, and that is to complete the treble in a row.

After Sessions dribbled past halftime, Rondo tried to reach for the ball, but still on the premise of making sure he wasn't in a defensive position. There's no way Rivers can tolerate having the kind of guy on his team who doesn't care about the team's overall defense in order to get good stats.

But Sessions has also grown, and it's no exaggeration to say that he's growing faster than Rondo.

Sessions dodged Rondo's hand, and Chen Jiyuan brought it up to block Sessions.

Instead of switching guards, the Celtics let Perkins delay Sessions' line of action for a moment, and then Rondo quickly returned to Sessions.

This kind of defensive pick-and-roll defense may give the opponent's ball handler a three-point or mid-range shot. All the Celtics can do is make that possibility as low as possible. Otherwise, if you change the defense and let Rondo defend Chen Jiyuan, then although Chen Jiyuan respects Rivers very much, I have to say that Rivers' brain is obviously broken.

Choosing this way to defend the Celtics' blocking can also be said to be a last resort, in order to defend Chen Jiyuan, the method of changing the defense was first decided. Second, taking a step back and bypassing the pick-and-roll player is not very feasible, as Sessions has shot 37 percent from three-point range this season. This hit rate is also very dangerous if it is missed. This may occasionally be achieved by squeezing in front of the demolition personnel, but the quality of Chen Jiyuan's blocking and dismantling is quite good, and the number of times this method is completed is not much. There is another method that can still be used in the past, and that is to wrap the ball carrier.

Let the ball handler have no shooting space and passing vision and route, forcing the ball handler to make mistakes.

However, on the one hand, it was because of the improvement of Sessions' ball control and passing ability, and on the other hand, because of the arrival of Iguodala, when Sessions gave the ball to Iguodala, the Knicks were able to produce a 4-3 situation in an instant. And it's still a 4-on-3 where the defender lacks a center. Iguodala is often able to pass the ball to a suitable place at the first time, allowing the team to shoot with ease. Very efficient.

In the end, the Celtics had to opt for this kind of delayed ball handler in more cases, and then quickly return to their defenders. Although there may be a little problem, pull out the big one inside the stalk. That's all I can do. Let Rondo be a little more tired.

Sessions chose to shoot the ball in three divisions. The Celtics still have a little bit of room for changing defenses.

However, this three-pointer shot missed. The Knicks quickly stepped back.

Garnett, who was inside, took the rebound.

landed to pass the ball, quickly dribbled the ball through the half, Rondo saw the opportunity, and took advantage of the Knicks' defensive formation not yet to fall, directly accelerated, and rushed into the interior. I want to take a precedence.

Rondo made a low-handed layup, and there was Sessions next to him, which led to Rondo's shot route of the ball having been seen through by Chen Jiyuan.

Of course, Chen Jiyuan jumped directly without mercy, and pressed the ball directly onto the rebound before the ball touched the rebound. Give Rondo a dismount first.

Tell Rondo that it's not like you can score if you want to.

In the game against the Cavaliers, Rondo played quite well, and it seems that this made him a little flustered.

From the very beginning of the game, both sides showed a lot of iron blood and tight defense. A defensive battle, and so began.
