After winning against the Philadelphia 76ers, the Knicks faced the Celtics once again, this time, although everyone was expecting a shocking battle before the playoffs began. But unfortunately, neither the Knicks nor the Celtics meant it.

On the Knicks' side, Chen Jiyuan took a game off before the playoffs officially began.

At the same time, there is also an older Stephen Jackson who needs to rest.

And the Celtics also let the three elders rest at the same time.

Almost all of the players on both sides were substitutes. On the Knicks' side, Sessions and Love, as well as Iguodala, are making final adjustments to their bodies, all in preparation for the playoffs.

Neither side wants another regular season game. Everything will come to life in the playoffs.

Who is strong and who is weak, who wins and who loses, when it comes to the playoffs, there will naturally be a difference.

However, as the first and second teams in the East, if the two teams want to meet, they may have to wait until the Eastern Conference Finals.

This is still the premise that before the Eastern Conference Finals, neither team has any surprises.

If that team is hacked by another team first, then the winner or loser will come out.

With neither side playing much for real, Celtic won the game.

Many people expressed incomprehension of the Knicks' behavior.

You know, the Knicks are not playing the opening game of the regular season, but the game before the end. Do you know what it means for the Knicks to win a game right now? The Knicks, who represent the current lineup, have created another record for the most wins in the history of the Knicks.

Since last season, we almost got the best result, perhaps because last season was too much attention, so this season has been less important. Compared to the so-called team history record, all the eyes of the players at the time were on the winning streak.

Since the Knicks won 60 games, everyone knows that it is only a matter of time before the Knicks break the franchise record.

After losing the game against the Celtics, the Knicks only had one last game left, and it was still back-to-back, and this Knicks and Celtics game was originally the league's closing gift to the fans, but now this gift is rotten. It didn't work as a gift at all.

The Knicks' final game was against the Chicago Bulls.

This game is also quite attractive. But it's not the Knicks fans who are attracted, it's the Bulls fans.

Winning or losing this game is at stake in whether the Bulls can make the playoffs.

The Bulls and Raptors now have a 40-41 record and a 41-41 record, respectively.

If the Bulls lose this game between the Bulls and the Knicks, then it is clear that the Bulls will be abandoned by the playoffs this season.

And if the Bulls win, then, according to the record of the two sides in the regular season, the Bulls have a 3:1 advantage over the Raptors, that is, as long as this game is won, then the Bulls will be able to catch the last train of the playoffs, and it will be the last train of the last train.

On the same day, another gift from the league to the fans was also presented to everyone, and this gift was still quite valuable.

That gift was the Orlando Magic vs. Cleveland Cavaliers.

The duel between the two teams has attracted not only the attention of the fans of the two teams, but it can be said that quite a lot of people care about this game.

The main reason is that right now, both teams have a 59-22 record. That is, after this game, one of the two teams will have a record of 60 wins and 22 losses. The other team has a 59-23 record.

So, it's going to be a lot of things. Of course, whether you win or lose, the home advantage of both teams in the first round of matches has already been determined.

The two teams are now more serious, just to find out who is third in the East and who is fourth in the East.

Although these things are superficial, after all, no matter who wins or loses, there will be no home field advantage in the next second round. Unless they all eliminate their opponents, then the home advantage generated by the victory in this game will appear. However, this odds are a bit small. But it must be said that there is indeed a reason why both teams want to win correctly, because the East is still the obvious top four this year, the Knicks, Celtics, Cavaliers, and Magic are four teams, and you can't tell who can win and who can lose in the intensity of the playoffs.

What's more, the win or loss of this game can determine the opponent of the second round of the game, the first place in the East is already ironclad Knicks, and the second position is firmly occupied by the Celtics. Therefore, the suspenseful third battle can also be seen as the opponent's choice for the second round.

On the surface, the reason why the two sides care so much about winning or losing this game is because the relationship between James and Howard is indeed not harmonious.

This discord is because Howard claims to be the league's No. 1 defensive center and is the strongest on the defensive end, even if it is James, as long as he wants, it is no problem to defend.

This was after a regular season game, after Howard blocked James twice in the middle of the game, perhaps a little carried away, so he made such remarks.

If James can endure it, it would be strange.

So James decisively began to criticize Howard, saying that Chen Jiyuan is the first center in the league, and Howard is at most Chen Jiyuan on the defensive end. It's not mature enough at all.

There is no need to say more after that. The fans of Cleveland and Orlando also began to curse each other decisively. The beam between the two teams is also getting bigger and bigger. In the end, there was almost no possibility of reconciliation.

Originally, Chen Jiyuan heard that James had such information about next season, and thought that the Cavaliers would bring Howard to the Cavaliers in the offseason. Now it seems impossible, not to mention that Howard is willing to come to Cleveland, even if Howard comes, the two cores of the team inside and outside are so big and hateful, how can they play.

In this game, the two sides will definitely make a lot of effort and compete with each other. For the fans, this game is much better than the funny game between the Celtics and the Knicks.

In fact, the Magic and the Cavaliers did not disappoint the fans, and the game between the two sides was full of sparks, and they could even be regarded as flames.

There were several clashes between players on the pitch. The game is full of gunpowder. Especially James and Howard, the two of them also had a period of scolding on the court.

Howard scolds James for being a softie, and James says Howard is a rookie.

Anyway, the final result of the game was that the Cavaliers won the game by 2 points.

James made a layup with 7.6 seconds left in the game and it was the game's quasi-final shot.

The last shot from the Magic's side was given to Lewis, who missed a three-pointer in the final game. Let the Magic unfortunately lose this game.

And on the other side, the game between the Bulls and the Knicks.

For this game, the Knicks also discussed before the game started, how should they play, should they deliberately lose to the Bulls, and then play against the Bulls in the playoffs? Or win this game and play against the Raptors.

In the end, the Knicks chose to lose this game to the Bulls. Although this would have given the team one less win, the Knicks chose to forfeit the game compared to the overall consideration of the playoffs.

In the playoffs with the Raptors, although neither Bosh nor Bagnani are fierce players on the inside, and Noah of the Bulls is still relatively tough on the inside.

But in the end, the reason why the Bulls were chosen was because the Bulls are a typical team with an empty interior, and Noah is not strong enough to exist alone to make the entire team's interior line not vacant at all.

The Bulls are without Ty Gibson. Although Ty Gibson is not particularly fierce in this first season, he is also a defensive titan on the inside, and now, the Bulls have only one person on the inside, and the Raptors have quite a lot of interior players, not to mention, Bosh is still at his peak, and when it comes to the playoffs, Bosh is also very tough. In order to win, Bosh will not have any worries and fears.

Total amount and consideration, under the unanimous suggestion of Thibodeau and Chen Jiyuan, in this game, the Knicks chose to lose to the Bulls, but they could not let Chen Jiyuan and other main players rest off the court.

Otherwise, it will make the main players gradually fade the rhythm of the game, which will be counterproductive.

The Knicks lost to the Bulls and were beaten by the Raptors. Especially the Bosh fans, who squirted wildly.

Chen Jiyuan is too focused on playing so he can't understand that there is a reason why the Raptors' fans hate it so much. But before that, when the Raptors still had hope of making the playoffs, when Bosh was asked by a reporter if he would go to another team after becoming a complete free agent, Bosh's answer was very formulaic, "I'll wait until the end of the season to think about it." ”

I can't see anything about this, but the problem is that after this, the Raptors' record has not improved much, and it looks like they are going to a fishing tournament. Bosh finally couldn't sit still.

In a post-practice interview, when asked again where he was going after the season, Bosh said: "I want the team to make the playoffs, that's all I'm thinking about right now. As for what happens after the end of the season, it depends on when the season ends, and I know when I'm going to think about next season."

Nima, it's all right!
